Chapter 452 It's Not That Bad

Li Xiao is not the only one whose ass decides the head, Kornilov and Naximov are also typical. However, it is also understandable that for Li Xiao, Moldavia is stable and no one is holding back. For Grand Duke Constantine, the officers of the Black Sea Fleet can make a difference, and even for Russia. It is also a good thing for the officers to help Grand Duke Constantine.

But for Kornilov and Nasimov, the fact that so many experienced grassroots officers ran away would have a subversive impact on the grassroots companies and seriously affect their combat effectiveness. Wouldn't it affect their brothers? Are you two ready for battle?

It can be seen that no matter how good things are, they will be scored for whom. After all, there are no things that are beneficial to everyone in this world. More is only beneficial to some people but at the expense of the other part of the vital interests. At that time, how to choose is the key issue.

If everyone only cared about their own self-interest in one-third of an acre of land, and were as selfish as the scholar-official class in the late Ming Dynasty, then the Galaxy battleship would have to be sunk.

Fortunately, neither Li Xiao nor Kornilov nor Naximov are the kind of extremely selfish people. Reasonable trade-offs of interests are acceptable to them, as long as they do not maliciously interfere with their interests.

And this is why Li Xiao can let the two brothers relax and let Grand Duke Constantine toss. He told them with a smile: "In the short term, it will indeed have a greater impact on the fleet, especially the naval infantry that the fleet belongs to..."

Yes, the focus of Grand Duke Constantine's poaching is the naval infantry of the Black Sea Fleet. After all, serious naval officers are of no use to him, and his Moldavia does not rely on the sea, and he has no financial resources to fiddle with building a fleet.

Therefore, the key target of Grand Duke Constantine's poaching is the naval infantry officers of the Black Sea Fleet. China's army is more elite and better at fighting, and its officers are naturally better.

It should be said that the benefits of recruiting a group of naval infantry officers to enrich the Volunteer Army are huge, and Grand Duke Constantine has earned it!

It is precisely because the naval infantry has higher requirements, and naturally has a greater influence on Kornilov and Nasimov, that's why Li Xiao said this.

However, the point of what Li Xiao wanted to say was not here, but he immediately changed the topic and said: "But in the long run, Kosya actually helped you solve your troublesome troubles!"

Kornilov and Nasimov were stunned. They didn't understand where it started. Why didn't they find out that Grand Duke Constantine helped them solve some troubles!

Li Xiao smiled slightly and said, "Don't you think these officers are a big trouble? If I'm not wrong,

These people who can be seen by Kostya are basically old officers who have no hope of promotion, and have no other skills to support their families. "

Kornilov and Nasimov were stunned. From this point of view, it is true that the people who are interested in the recruitment of Grand Duke Constantine are exactly this kind of people. It is hoped that those who have the ability to be promoted will definitely not go, and the promotion channel for younger officers still exists and there is still enough time to survive, so it is impossible to go.

Only officers with hopeless and particularly stressful lives would be interested in Duke Constantine's Volunteer Army. And this group of people is actually not that important to the Black Sea Fleet!

Li Xiao analyzed them carefully: "On the one hand, these officers have no hope of promotion, but they will naturally become indifferent to everything. Honors, medals, or military achievements are dispensable to them. Naturally, they will not fight for these things!"

"Besides, because of the huge pressure of family life, they will not be particularly dedicated to the daily management of the army, and they will be perfunctory and fool things."

"It doesn't even rule out that some people are particularly oily, and they will try their best to greedy money and property, and make the army a mess!"

"You talk about such a group of live treasures, staying in the team is a time bomb, and it may explode at any time. Maybe if a real war breaks out, this group of people will all have a negative impact on the morale of the army. So you Baby what are they doing with them?"

Kornilov and Nasimov were stunned. From this point of view, what Li Xiao said was true. This group of people is indeed not that precious. It might be a good thing to let them leave the army earlier.

It's just that these two are not stupid, and they immediately reacted in their minds, and said to Li Xiao dumbfoundingly: "What you said has a certain truth, there are indeed such officers, but this type of officers is always a minority... ...Among those officers who are interested in the Volunteer Army, such people are not common, and there are still quite a few good officers!"

Li Xiao curled his lips and said, "But among them, excellent and good officers are not common, and the habit of laziness and slack among that group is more common. I don't believe that your Black Sea Fleet is an exception!"

Li Xiao said it categorically, because he knew too much about the group of Russian military officers. There is no shortage of outstanding good officers in the Russian army, and they are no worse than their counterparts in Western Europe. However, this type of officer has always been unable to resist the bad influence brought about by the poor treatment of the Russian army. Honor and chicken soup are impossible for people to be *** forever.

Because even if *** can live without food, clothing, and housing, ***’s wife, children, and parents also have to eat, dress, go to school, and have housing. star?

These practical issues are always there, and whether you like to admit it or not, they will always exert influence at a certain time. How to boost morale and maintain the belief of the army when the young blood fades?

Chicken soup for the soul alone is not enough!

And this is the most terrible problem for the Russian army. The treatment is really anti-human, and the effect of persuading them to quit is too strong. In the Russian army, except maybe a few noble officers like Leonid who are rich and have special convictions who can consistently stick to their beliefs, you should never expect too much from other officers.

As a result, corruption and laxity among Russian military officers have become a common phenomenon. Even if the officers of the Black Sea Fleet are treated better and have higher quality, that is limited. Applicable.

This also determines that there may be excellent talents among the officers who are interested in the Grand Duke Constantine's Volunteer Army, but generally speaking, the proportion of problem officers may be higher!
