Struggle in Russia

Chapter 33 Despicable

Boris became the busiest person in the 2nd Battalion and 2nd Company of the 748th Regiment. He had to get up early every morning, and rode his old horse to the camp. In the middle of the night, when all the soldiers of the Second Company had fallen asleep, he could take a breather and return to the farm where he was staying.

It only took a week, and he, who was still a little fat, turned into a proper devil muscular man, and his combat effectiveness broke through to a new height.

Of course, this does not mean that Li Xiao has become a hands-off shopkeeper. He just went later than a certain giant, focusing on learning and practicing Russian dialogue. He is also in the camp most of the time every day, but he doesn't guide the actual work very much, but chats with the resting soldiers more.

It has to be said that both of them have gained a lot. Boris has the initial command experience and can initially organize and operate the company. On the other hand, Li Xiao knew all the soldiers in the company. He could call out every soldier's name, know where the other soldier's hometown was and why he joined the army.

Most of the soldiers in the second company were also very satisfied. They had new clothes and shoes, and they could still eat enough every day. The company commander and deputy company commander even brought a new barracks for the winter. Although it is much more tiring than before doing nothing, this kind of tiredness is so sufficient. They would rather be so tired, because this kind of tiredness makes them feel worthwhile and have a future.

Everything is going in a good direction. Li Xiao and Boris have initially taken control of the Second Company. At least this Tuesday, there was no fight in the Second Company, and no soldier was arrested for stealing or drinking. This made Gazinski, who had been suffocating and looking for trouble, very angry and dissatisfied. He severely taught Shishkin, who was not strong enough, a lesson.

"What are you doing this week? Why didn't I receive any complaints or reports from Erlian? Didn't I ask you to incite trouble? This is the result of your incitement. Before you didn't need you to incite those bastards, there would be chaos. You Inciting them to make them honest? Is that how you do things?!"

Shishkin, who had been slapped, was also full of grievances. Yes, he took money, but it wasn't that he didn't do things! He bought off a few thorns from the second company and let them go and make trouble. Who would have thought that before the thorns started to make trouble, someone would come with a truck full of new winter clothes, new boots and food. The thorns are nothing more than making money, and making money is nothing more than food and clothing so as not to freeze to death this winter. Now you don't need to make trouble and you won't be frozen to death. Who cares about three melons and two dates? Isn't there such a stupid person!

Shishkin was dumbfounded at the time. Just when he was about to "bleed" and increase the price of buying, Li Xiao and Boris, who had already established their prestige, comprehensively reorganized the discipline. The camp was surrounded by wooden fences. If you come in and out casually, the company personnel must first apply for a report when they come in and out.

In this way, and with Boris watching all day long, Shishkin couldn't get close to the camp at all, so bribery was out of the question.

"Battalion Commander, you have wronged me!" Shishkin cried, covering his face, "I serve you wholeheartedly. Even if I don't have any credit, I have worked hard these days!"

"It's not that I'm lazy and slippery, but those two guys are too cunning, and I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup they poured into those bastards. Now, five or six of them don't take care of us. And they also reorganized the camp. There is no way to get close, I have nothing to do with my ability!"

"Oh? What you said is true?" Gazinski didn't quite believe it, thinking that it was Shishkin who was sitting on the ground and preparing to get more benefits, "It's just such a short time, and all those bastards are at their disposal? Frighten me ah!"

"Really! They bought new clothes and new shoes, and provided three meals a day in regular and sufficient quantities... You also know what kind of world those bastards have seen, and they bought them all for a little profit!"

Gasinski felt that the matter was too serious, and hurriedly asked: "Where did the clothes, shoes and food come from? Logistics supply?"

In fact, Gasinski himself knew that the logistics could not be so generous,

Major Antonov, the Chief of Military Supplies, belongs to Pixiu. When the things arrived in his hands, they could only get in and out, and all of them were stolen and sold out. Where will it be distributed to those bastards, it would be considered kind of him not to pour shaving oil from the mouths of those bastards. What's more, the superiors have already instructed that they must teach someone to be a good person, how can it be convenient for someone?

Could it be someone's own pocket?

There is really nothing wrong with Gasinski. If this is the case, he really can only watch. After all, the law does not stipulate that the company commander cannot improve the company's military capacity and food at his own expense. It's just that being an official for thousands of miles is only for money. No fool would do this, at least he would never do such a stupid thing.

But if someone is really so stupid, how can he complete his task? If you can't complete the task and blame it from the superior, how can you be an official? Without an official position, how can you make money, enjoy delicious food and drink spicy food?

For a moment, Gazinski was sweating profusely and felt under great pressure. He immediately ordered: "Go and find out where the food for the military uniforms comes from!"

In fact, it was not difficult to find out, and Shishkin soon brought news.

"Bought it out of your own pocket?!"

Gazinski suddenly felt dizzy and his eyes darkened. He supported the table to stabilize his figure, thought for a moment and then ordered: "Prepare the horse, I'm going to St. Petersburg immediately! Also, Ivan, keep an eye on that side for me, Let's see what else they do! Let me know immediately!"

Things got serious, and Gazinski felt that he couldn't handle it, so he galloped straight to the city to find the deputy head of the regiment, Kutepov. The latter was enjoying Jane Clary and Jules Perrault's ballet "Giselle" at the Alexandria Theater at this time. The dancing girls made Kutepov, a veteran in love, a little dazzled and overwhelmed. Of course, he mainly used his lower body Thinking about the question: 【Which girl should I invite to spend the night together? 】

The door of the box was opened, and Kutepov's personal servant walked gently to him and leaned over to announce: "Master, Lieutenant Grigory Alexandrovich of the Admiralty is visiting!"

Holding up the binoculars to appreciate the graceful figure, Kutepov said without looking back or passing through his brain: "Who is he?"

The male servant was a little speechless and could only remind: "Master, he is the battalion commander of the Second Battalion of the 748 Regiment, your subordinate!"

Kutepov curled his lips in boredom, and put down the binoculars regretfully: "Let him in! What an annoying guy!"

"Lieutenant Colonel, something is wrong. Our plan won't work. The grand duke bought those bastards out of his own pocket, and now they are all on the side of the grand duke..."

Gazinski explained the matter clearly in a few words, but Kutepov didn't feel too embarrassed. Instead, he taught with a look of disgust: "Idiot, you can't handle even a little thing! Just a few carts of food and clothes Are you stumped? You won't steal, rob, or burn those things, and see what that idiot Grand Duke will do then!"

"It's no wonder you haven't been able to get promoted all these years. I'm so disappointed! Be decisive and do things well, don't ask me to solve every little trouble, so what's the use of you!"
