Struggle in Russia

Alexei was stunned. He had thought that he would be ruthlessly ridiculed by his old father, who would ridicule him for his boastfulness, his superiority and inferiority, and his only bragging.

But it wasn't like that at all, there was nothing, no sarcasm, and even the old father didn't seem to be happy at all, instead there was only care and worry in his eyes.

At that moment, Alexei's eyes were moist, and only then did he realize his superficiality and unfilial piety. No matter how strict a father is to his son, the starting point is always love. Never gloat when your son opposes your failure. Instead, there are only endless concerns.

Alexei's eye sockets became moist immediately, and he deeply felt that he was really wrong, and it was outrageously wrong.

It's just that Count Speranski didn't say much at that time, not a single extra word, as if he didn't see Alexei's failure, as if nothing happened. It was not until after dinner, when the father and son sat down to chat, that Count Speranski said slowly:

"Your thoughts are good, but you are too anxious to do things. Not everyone is as anxious as you, and not everyone understands your ideas. No matter what you do, the worst thing is to be anxious, the more anxious you are It's more likely to go wrong!"

"Come step by step, take the first step and then move your legs. Walking step by step is better than running around and breaking your leg and not getting up!"

At that time, Alexei thought that there was no problem with his starting point, but that his way of doing things was too impatient. But today, after chatting with Li Xiao, he couldn't help thinking of his father's warning that day. It seemed that there were many things his father didn't say completely.

【Is it impossible to say? Or did I not understand? 】

After thinking about it for a while, Alexei found the root cause. I'm afraid the fact is that even if his father said it, he wouldn't listen to it. Because at that time he was in middle school and he didn't realize his problems at all. In fact, the things he did at that time were not necessarily right and good. When he looked back a few years later, he realized that Sometimes it's really just wishful thinking and thinking that it's good.

It's just that Count Speranski had passed away at that time, even if he discovered his naivety, Alexei didn't think deeply about it, but now that he remembered everything, he realized that many of his father's words were actually desires. He stopped talking, or wanted to tell him but was afraid that he would not listen, so he deliberately said so vaguely.

Thinking about it now, Earl Speranski probably knew from the beginning that what he wanted to do would never be possible, and it was impossible to succeed at all, but he was worried about dampening his enthusiasm.

The bottom line is to tell him that things are not done that way, and the worst thing to do is to be greedy for perfection and think that you are good.

At this moment, Alexei's heart was full of regret,

Only then did he realize that he had missed too many precious things. It was because of his childishness that the old father was probably full of worry when he left.

He thought about the things he had done over the years, many of them were making the same mistakes, and it was still the old relationships left by his father who helped him wipe his ass. I am afraid that I have already gone to Siberia to repair the earth.

This couldn't help but make Alexei regret even more. The regret in his heart kept churning, and then surged up together. Soon his tears could no longer be stopped, and fell like rain.

Li Xiao was baffled by this scene, why did he start crying all of a sudden, are you sister Lin possessed? Crying because of such a shit? It's not like the Alexei I knew!

Fontana was also very worried. She had never seen Alexei cry so sadly. Why?

Just when the two people were talking about the number on their foreheads, Alexei wiped his tears and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I made you laugh. Suddenly I thought of my dead father. I was too excited." Childish?"

Li Xiao and Fontana still looked at each other in blank dismay, not understanding how Alexei's brain circuit grew. Didn't he just talk about Wallachia? Why did it suddenly involve old Count Speranski again? Besides, why do you suddenly feel naive?

Alexei wiped his tears and snot again, and explained embarrassingly: "Back then, my father said similar things to me, but I was young and energetic and didn't listen to it at all. Now that I think about it, it's really unfilial! I'm really naive!"

As he said that, he looked at Li Xiao sincerely, and said affectionately: "My friend, thank you for reminding me of these most precious memories and letting me know where I went wrong all these years, thank you so much! "

Li Xiao was even more speechless, but Alexey's sincere appearance made him unable to utter a lot of criticisms. He could only say: "You are too famous, I am just talking about the facts. What's more, the earl's teachings to you , you will think of it one day, and you will understand it thoroughly!"

Then Li Xiao didn't want to continue recalling the past anymore, so he forcibly brought the topic back: "So you also agreed with my suggestion, didn't you?"

Alexei nodded and said sincerely: "Yes, it seems that this is the best way. Let's do it!"

Li Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, he was really worried that Alexei would be so focused on assassinating, then he would have a big headache, and at this moment Alexei suddenly asked: "My friend, you and Brother Bretianu What is it? I heard from Fontana that you seem to be on good terms with them?"

Li Xiao quickly explained: "There is no such thing as a relationship that is good or used. I used them to break into the upper-class circle of Wallachia, and used them to cause trouble for the British, that's all."

"Of course, in order to act more similarly, I also have to do some hateful things, such as plundering the land of Wallachia, and intensifying the conflicts within Wallachia..."

Alexey nodded as he listened. In fact, he didn't mean to ask Li Xiao to explain. He simply wanted to know Li Xiao's strategy, because the other party was much smarter than him, and he almost opened up the situation empty-handed. . On the other hand, on his side, even with official support, he was in a mess. He just wanted to learn from others, steal a teacher or something.

And Li Xiao continued to explain over there: "Brother Bretianu brothers are not good people, they can be said to be out-and-out anti-Russian bastards, but it is meaningful to use them well. My idea is to continue Use them to obtain the most top-secret information of the Provisional Republic of Wallachia, and wait for the opportunity to provoke, destroy the unity within the National Party and the Revolutionary Committee, so that they cannot form a joint force..."
