Struggle in Russia

Chapter 90 The Road to the Future (Part 1)

In the eyes of Count Vladimir, Alexei's words were completely provocative. He just dared to do what he didn't want to do. He was so angry that the three or five guards took a lot of effort to drag this guy down.

Alexei was also deeply moved by this, because he never expected such a result at all, and he didn't even dare to imagine that Count Vladimir could be brought down so easily before, and even now he is a little confused The feeling in the dream.

"Pinch me to see if I'm dreaming!" He said to Li Xiao like this.

"Don't worry, it's all true! It's absolutely true!"

Alexei's eyes were about to burst into stars. It was like this when he dealt with Viscount Prozolov before, and it was the same when he dealt with Count Vladimir this time. He even doubted how Li Xiao's head grew. Where did so many wonderful ideas and unbelievable ideas come from.

"It's incredible!" Li Xiao himself was very modest and said very calmly: "It's nothing more than meticulous intelligence work. Now you should know how important intelligence work is!"

Alexei nodded in conviction. In the past, Li Xiao had always emphasized the importance of intelligence and intelligence agencies. Although he gave Li Xiao this power, he actually had no confidence in whether the agency Li Xiao established would be useful.

To put it bluntly, the reason why Li Xiao was allowed to make troubles was entirely out of trust in Li Xiao. Alexei only thought that he was spending money to make Li Xiao, a friend, feel better.

From this point of view, he is really a good friend, and he is also a fool with a foolish blessing.

"Why is this Saladov willing to cooperate with you? According to you, isn't he recruited by Arkady Viginsky?"

Li Xiao explained with a smile: "It can only be said that our Count Vladimir has no understanding of people, and he is even more arrogant in handling things... What is the way of employing people like that, who does it like him? They will all make the same choice as Saladov..."

Speaking of this, Li Xiao suddenly paused, and then said: "But this Saladov is really unlucky, he has some skills, but he always gets along with people!"

After listening to Li Xiao's introduction of Saladov's past, Alexei also felt a little emotional. There are too many people in Russia like Yerosin, Arkady and Count Vladimir, so that many people who really have There is absolutely no room for capable people to display their abilities, resulting in mediocre idiots in the most important positions, so the country is left farther and farther by the great powers.

Thinking of Alexei, he sighed again: "Fortunately, you arranged this time in advance.

Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous! You are right, the intelligence agency is indeed too important, and there is no way to gain a foothold in this dark age with only enthusiasm! "

It can be seen that Alexei really understood Li Xiao this time, and he disapproved of Leonid's stubbornness and old-fashionedness more and more. If it is an era of clear politics, it is a good thing to do things like Leonid. But in this chaotic and dark age, being so ignorant of the past and ignorant of flexibility is simply suicidal!

Thinking of this, he frowned again, and asked worriedly: "But is this really enough to bring down Count Vladimir?"

It's no wonder that Alexei was worried, because he also knew why Nicholas I sent Count Vladimir to Bucharest, obviously to monitor and restrain him.

In other words, Nicholas I didn't need Count Vladimir's rules and dedication at all, as long as Count Vladimir could watch him. In other words, it doesn't matter even if Count Vladimir makes a fuss, as long as he keeps an eye on Alexei honestly, that's enough.

Under such circumstances, as long as it is not an uprising, other mistakes are acceptable to Nicholas I. The reason why he even sent this illegitimate son is to take the opportunity to give benefits to this wild son and let him earn more private money. It was a lot of painstaking efforts of the old father.

In this way, general mistakes and even crimes are nothing to Count Vladimir at all, so can a mere corruption and murder really bring him down?

"To be honest, it's really difficult." Li Xiao admitted this very honestly, "The charges we have given to that guy now are indeed not enough to completely bring him down, and we must add another sum and use the strength from outside the court. .”

Alexei murmured: "Add one more? Off-court strength? What do you mean?"

Li Xiao explained patiently: "I asked you to contact Grand Duke Constantine, did you do it?"

Alexei was a little confused, weren't they talking about Count Vladimir? Why did it suddenly involve Grand Duke Constantine again, but he also knew that Li Xiao would definitely not be indiscriminate, so he nodded and said: "The man has already replied, saying that he is going to have an interview with us and let us go to Chisinau. "

"That's good!" Li Xiao nodded and said, "Then let's take a trip, this time we will solve two problems."

The more Alexey listened, the more confused he became. What two problems should he go to Chisinau to solve? And why go so far, it can't be solved in Bucharest?

"Of course it can't be solved!" Li Xiao replied solemnly, "To solve Count Vladimir, you must rely on the power of Grand Duke Constantine. After all, a real son is more important than a wild son!"

Alexei was taken aback for a moment, and then asked back dumbfounded: "You mean to use Grand Duke Constantine to give Count Vladimir a fatal blow?"

Before Li Xiao could answer, he exclaimed: "How is this possible? We just made him lose face and sent his most important counselor to prison. How could he agree to our request?"

Li Xiao shrugged and asked back: "Why is it impossible? Do you really think that little stick cares about how many subordinates? For him, as long as it is profitable, there is nothing he can't talk about, and we are very important to him now. As long as he is not particularly stupid, he will definitely choose to cooperate with us!"

Alexei was confused, and his head was buzzing, but he probably understood one thing. He heard someone meant that he was going to cooperate with Grand Duke Constantine? But in this case, why did you reject Viscount Prozolov before, and still make such a fuss? Isn't this tossing around?

But Li Xiao said: "What is this nonsense? That little fat man's conditions are so harsh, how can he agree? Don't let him see our means and abilities, he thinks we are easy to bully! We just have to let him know We are equal to him, and if we want to cooperate, we have to follow our plan, not let him play it!"
