More than half of the summer of 1849 has passed without you realizing it. This year was not much different from the past. Even in 1848, a revolutionary movement shocked Europe and almost overturned the traditional order of Europe. However,
Following the Hungarian
With the flames of the revolution extinguished, everything seems to have returned to its original state. The nobles have begun to live in drunken dreams again, and the poor have to work to death with no hope at all. It seems that nothing has changed, and the wealthy families are still stinking of wine and meat.
The road was frozen to death.
Looking back on this year, Li Xiao felt quite emotional. He went from a pauper and a bastard prince with no money to a rich man with fifty thousand serfs. Now even if he lies down and waits for death without doing anything,
He will be comfortable for the rest of his life, and he won't even have to worry about his son or grandson. The property in his name will never be squandered within three generations.
If he had been the little rich man who had settled down before, he might have really started to eat and drink and wait to die. But after experiencing this ups and downs for a year, he was no longer willing to be ordinary, and even had a trace of contempt for the so-called great people of this era.
mood.
In fact, we are all the same, with one head, two hands and two feet. The difference is that everyone has a different starting point. In the past, not to mention that he was at the bottom of society, he was also a social animal, and he worked hard to get married.
But now he has jumped to the top of the pyramid and has the ability to plan a completely different life. To put it bluntly, he also has the ability to control the life and death of others. This ability makes him feel very happy. This is his first time.
The feeling of power is indeed addictive. Once you get used to responding to everything at once, you will never go back to the past.
Of course, if Li Xiao was asked to go back in time, he wouldn't want to go back. If he had the idea to go back to the time when he was standing guard at the entrance to the Winter Palace, he missed computer games and cars and high-speed trains, but now he would not be willing to go back.
Don't want to go back.
Although this era is very bad, it is more important in this era. Everyone wants to appear more important, even if it is a very bad era, it doesn't matter.
Standing by the Danube River, looking at this small river that was neither blue nor majestic at all, Li Xiao's mind was filled with thoughts about how he would go in the future.
Duke Alexander had already told him that Nicholas I did not want his annoying nephew to return to the country so soon. Nicholas I's attitude towards him was already out of sight and out of mind. The overconfident and already fully
The swollen Tsar really didn't want a bad person hanging around in front of him.
Not being able to return to St. Petersburg is not a big deal to Li Xiao. He didn't really want to go back in the first place. Although St. Petersburg is more prosperous than Bucharest, that prosperity does not belong to him. He is more like an out-of-place stranger in that city. He hates St. Petersburg in winter.
I hate the long days of St. Petersburg in the summer. The rhythm of this city is always far different from his, and the two sides are not on the same channel at all.
On the contrary, Bucharest, which is at a lower latitude, has four distinct seasons and is more like a place he is familiar with. Here there is the freedom of no one, huge oil wealth, and a higher status. He misses St. Petersburg until he is full!
Not only Li Xiao doesn't want to leave, but Vishniak and Boris don't want to leave either. The latter likes Bucharest for similar reasons to him. They are indeed more important and happy here.
The only one who misses St. Petersburg is Leonid. Compared with several friends, he is a superior person in both St. Petersburg and Bucharest. He cannot experience the pleasure of status change. In comparison, Bucharest seems even poorer. Naturally, he feels that St. Petersburg
Better.
It's just that Leonid can't go back, because Duke Alexander has made arrangements, and Leonid will stay in Bucharest as an important member of the garrison. This will promote him to the first level, although there is no way to be promoted to major general immediately.
But changing from regiment commander to brigade commander is also a huge improvement.
Not only was he the brigade commander, Leonid was also appointed as the commander of the Bucharest city defense. All the garrison in Bucharest were under his jurisdiction. This authority was indeed not small.
If Leonid's age and qualifications were to hold a similar position in China, it would be impossible even with the help of Duke Alexander and Duke Mikhail.
Because Leonid was promoted, the commander of the 748th regiment naturally had to be replaced. As the commander-in-chief of the garrison in Wallachia and Moldavia, Duke Mikhail assigned this position to the victors with a stroke of his pen.
Shinyak, a new lieutenant colonel leader has been released again.
This made Vishnyak very happy, because he thought that the position of regimental leader was more likely to belong to Li Xiao. After all, this person was the deputy commander before, so it was normal for him to take over naturally. He felt that he might be able to get through it.
He was a deputy commander or something like that, but who would have thought that he would suddenly jump from battalion commander to regimental commander? It was like a flying leap, okay?
Also promoted was Boris, who was also promoted to battalion commander and his military rank was promoted to major. In addition to the title of Baron of Wallachia and his beautiful wife, this trip was really satisfying.
He smiled happily.
As for Li Xiao, the reason why he failed to take over as the leader of the 748th Regiment was not because his superiors were intentionally obstructing him, but because he was really not interested because he had discovered that his talent was not in the military, even if he had a time traveler.
The bonus is actually very average when it comes to actual fighting and leading troops.
His talent lies more in politics, and he feels better and more comfortable being in officialdom. So naturally he has no interest in becoming a small group leader.
Of course, Li Xiao could not completely leave the army. Although he later acted more as Alexei's political adviser, Duke Mikhail still reserved a position for him in the army - Bucharest Garrison Military Police.
commander.
This position does not have to worry about fighting or training, and it has great power, which is just suitable for Li Xiao's performance. With him as the commander of the military police, all the ghosts and snakes in Bucharest have to keep their tails between their legs. This will invisibly give Alek
Xie and Leonid relieved a lot of burdens.
Li Xiao also has his own ideas about how to be the commander of the military police. He is not prepared to be an honest policeman. His military police may be more similar to a spy organization. He wants to develop his army into an intelligence agency. Only by fully mastering
Only with intelligence can he see clearly every step of the way.
He sees this very clearly. Why Count Rostovtsev is so good is because he is well-informed. Therefore, no matter what you do, intelligence must come first. You must know yourself and your enemy! And only a reliable intelligence agency can assist.
Alexei launched a revolutionary movement to emancipate the serfs.
