Chapter 26 Finding Another Way

Saladov is not a fool. If you still can't see Oreste's behavior of throwing the blame at this time, then you really have been wasting all these years. More importantly, he can see from the communication with Arkady and Orest that the matter is deeper than he imagined, and these two people seem to have a lot of problems, as if they are not the kind of people who can be entrusted for life. A person who does great things.

As the saying goes, a good bird chooses a tree to live in. Saladov thinks he is a bit capable, and he is not willing to spend his life in such a muddle, otherwise he would not have repeatedly complained to him when he was in Hungary. Jerosinti suggested.

His fundamental purpose is to attract the attention of the superiors and give him a platform to better display his abilities, instead of using him as a consumable like a rotten wood.

There are too many consumables in Russia, almost everyone is consumables, serfs are consumables compared to nobles, general nobles are also consumables compared to big nobles, and even big nobles are still consumables compared to the tsar Taste.

Of course, although they are all consumables, consumables can be expensive or humble. The most humble are serfs, and the hard work and desperation are all their business. Although Saratov was not a serf but belonged to an ordinary nobleman, this ordinary nobleman was still too humble, and was still a consumable for those officials and lords.

Saratov is eager to get rid of the order of being consumed. Even if it is used as a consumable, he wants to be more valuable and better paid. So he studied very hard since he was a child, and worked hard to improve his ability, in order to make a blockbuster, let alone reach the top, at least live like a human being.

It's a pity that his good wishes and positive efforts didn't yield much. Most of his colleagues only know how to eat and freeze to death, and don't understand his efforts at all. The superiors only know how to make money to pick up girls, and Saladov, who doesn't have much money to please them, can't get into their eyes even with seventy-two changes, and is regarded as an annoying spirit instead.

To be honest, Saladov lived a very hard life. He was neither tolerated by his superiors nor accepted by his colleagues. He became a real alien and was not liked anywhere.

But now Saladov is really at the end of his rope, and even he himself has no hope for the future. It can be said that if Count Vladimir cannot transfer his luck here, he may really choose to kill himself.

So although he was not satisfied with Arkady and Oreste's attitude, Saladov was still determined to seize this opportunity!

[Isn’t it just to investigate the Wallachia Railway Company? I went. It just so happens that if I can do something that you can't even do, I'm afraid I won't be able to make a big splash! 】

Whether it is self-comfort or self-encouragement, Saladov is actively engaged in work, and he still believes that as long as he works hard, he will succeed. But they didn't know that he had already been regarded as an abandoned son by Arkady and Oreste. Even if he really found something famous in the investigation, he would not have any credit for it, and he would still be kicked out.

Even if he is not sensible enough,

If they wanted to make trouble, the ruthless Arkady and Oreste would probably kill him directly and throw his body into the Danube to feed the fish.

Of course, the premise of all this is that Saladov is really that stupid, but as I said before, he is not stupid, on the contrary, his brain is good enough...

"Why is there another one?"

It's just that Saladov's actions didn't hide from Anton, and he, who was staring at Oreste, quickly noticed this guy who had close contact with Oreste.

"Who is this guy? Go, find out his identity!"

When the information about Saladov was placed in front of Anton, the wise intelligence officer was suddenly depressed because Saladov came from Austria. Although the information does not clearly state that this is the spy of the third part, it is not difficult to guess his identity based on Oreste's situation.

But Anton was still very puzzled, because even if Nicholas I wanted to investigate the situation in Wallachia, he should have sent competent people from St. Petersburg. There was no reason to send people from Austria. Wouldn’t that be a leak?

Anyway, from the perspective of confidentiality, doing this is a complete failure, and Anton himself would never do this, so he is a little baffled.

"Is this Saladov the commander?"

Because Oreste's contact with Arkady is very subtle, Anton has not found Arkady's shadow yet, and Oreste's performance is a bit clumsy, he doesn't seem to be behind the scenes. So Anton has been looking for the shadow hidden behind the scenes.

When he first discovered Saladov, he thought this was him, but judging from his contact with Oreste, it didn't look like him, because he always felt that Oreste had a higher status than Saladov .

At this time, Anton was confused by these people. He didn't know what kind of relationship these guys had, and he didn't know where they were staring at the Wallachia Railway Company. Because there is obviously nothing worth checking here, he doesn't believe that these people can find more things besides a few names.

And if those names alone could solve the case, Anton would just yell in admiration, but he couldn't do it anyway.

In fact, Anton's guess was correct. After checking the Wallachia Railway Company for a while, Saladov found that, not to mention that the railway company was run in a monolithic manner, there was nothing wrong with it.

In fact, the defense of this railway company is not strict. As long as they have money and connections, they can establish a good relationship with the Wallachians inside and get some information.

However, Saladov discovered that most of the information obtained from the Wallachia Railway Company was fragmentary, vague, or even unreliable, and most of it was unreliable. Even a lot of the information is contradictory. It is not impossible to clean up valuable things from this messy pile of wool, but it requires a lot of manpower and material resources.

It is a pity that neither manpower nor material resources are possessed by Saladov. He is a bare-handed commander, and his money is only enough to eat and drink. If he wants to win over a Wallachian, he has to ask Orest for reimbursement. , so after doing useless work for several days in a row, he finally understood such a truth-it can't go on like this anymore!

"You want to find another way?" Oreste squinted at him, his tone full of distrust and contempt.

This kind of look and tone is very familiar to Saladov, but he has nothing to do, he can only bite the bullet and say: "Yes, I don't have enough manpower here, it is completely impossible to start a new investigation, and it is too It's a waste of time, so I want you to give me the results of the previous investigation as a reference..."
