Chapter 25 Cunning

Saladov was completely different from Oreste. He did not live in St. Petersburg for too long. He was sent abroad for many years, and his understanding of officialdom was completely different.

Saladov is sharper and more aware of the difficulties at the grassroots level, and is more sensitive to crises. He is well aware of the consequences of every high-level power struggle. He knows that as long as a struggle of that level starts, it will be life and death, and no one should take chances. The winning side will kill the loser, and will not give him any chance to stand up.

Although Arkady and Oreste have lived in St. Petersburg for a longer period of time, it is reasonable to say that they are more aware of the high-level struggle methods, but don't forget that there has not been too much power struggle in the Russian officialdom in the past two decades. There are always a few old people who are in charge, so they are actually vague about the consequences of the power struggle.

To put it bluntly, they view power struggles more like watching a theater. They may have heard of some struggles, but they don't have a deep understanding of the bloody consequences.

This also makes them completely unprepared for failure, and even ignorant of the outcome of the failure. It is even possible that they never thought that counting on Count Vladimir would fail. They only see the dividends after victory, but forget the risk of failure.

So when Saladov heard that Count Vladimir might have a conflict with Alexei, his heart skipped a beat. His first feeling was that it was a bad idea. Because he was not blind, he couldn't see that there were actually very few cards that Count Vladimir could play.

It can almost be said that Count Vladimir has no cards to play. The investigation of a Wallachian railway company has made no progress, and it has failed to bribe and win over the help of the local powerful local snakes in Wallachia. If he is not the Bucharest City Defense Commander, he may not even be qualified to challenge Alexei on the field, and he will be KO'd in seconds.

What's more frightening seems that they still feel good about themselves, without the slightest sense of risk. Anyway, Saladov feels that he is not a trustworthy person, and has a feeling that he has not escaped from the tiger's den and fell into the wolf's den.

For his own sake, Saladov decided to have the courage to say something more, and he said to Arkady cautiously: "Sir, at this moment, there is a conflict with Governor Speranski, isn't it...is it a bit It's too hasty, this earl has been operating in Wallachia for many years, and the power is very important..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was frightened by Arkady's eyes and shut up. Because Arkady's face was very ugly, and his eyes seemed to swallow him alive. Saladov knew immediately that he had committed a taboo, so he quickly shut up.

Saladov had indeed committed Arkady's taboo. It's not that Arkady thinks that he overwhelms his morale with other people's prestige, he also knows that Alexei is powerful. But he knew in his heart that it was a completely different concept to say it face to face with Saladov!

He felt that he was just encouraging,

At this time, the smart and obedient subordinates only need to echo loudly, but Saladov actually said discouraged words in front of his face. Doesn't this mean that he was wrong to cheer up and encourage him just now? What is this if it is not a blatant provocation? !

"It seems that you, Mr. Saladov, really know Bucharest very well!" Arkady said in a strange voice, "Should I let you give the orders? It seems that you are very confident about this! How about I simply abdicate and let the wise man go? "

Saradov was in a cold sweat. He knew that he had offended Arkady badly. If he didn't correct his attitude and apologize quickly, he might be killed by Arkady right away without waiting for Yerosin to clean him up. .

"I'm sorry, I was the one who talked too much, I was the one who was abrupt!"

Seeing Saladov who kept apologizing and nearly kneeling, Arkady was only annoyed and contemptuous. He began to understand why this guy was labeled as superior in the file of the third part.

It is true that you have no superiors, who gave you the courage to talk nonsense, what do you think you are talking about!

If it weren't for the fact that no one was available, Arkady would have kicked Saradov over with one kick, and then sent him back to Hungary for Yerosin to cut him into eight pieces.

"People like this don't need them if they can be used in the future. Be careful when you recommend candidates. Don't recommend any cats or dogs. My place is not a trash can, and I don't accept such garbage!"

Arkady taught Orest severely. At this time, he felt that a person like Orest was more pleasing to the eye, at least he knew the rules and had good eyesight. An idiot like Saladov would still be lost The farther the better!

Oreste also knew the elegant meaning after listening to the string song, and immediately replied: "I was negligent, if it weren't for the fact that he still has some skills, and you are in a hurry to hire someone, I wouldn't bother to deal with such an idiot... Don't worry, I will deal with him after the matter is completed, and I will definitely satisfy you!"

Arkady didn't say anything, just lowered his eyelids, but Oreste knew that the other party agreed, and he was just maintaining the reserve of the superior. He understands such body language very well!

"Be careful what you say in the future, and keep your mouth shut. If I hadn't said good things to you today, you have to confess!"

Oreste is also bad, obviously he was ready to do something wrong to Saradov, but he said something different, as if he really did something to make Arkady give Saradov the first second chance.

"Yes, I will definitely pay attention to my mouth in the future, definitely!"

Saladov, whose back was drenched in cold sweat, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he really got away with it, but never thought that even if he worked hard, there would be no good results. He was already a poor abandoned child.

Oreste nodded slowly, and then ordered: "You heard it too, our task is very heavy. Now that you are familiar with Bucharest, you can officially start to handle things. Wallachian Railway Company I'll leave the matter to you, and I have to step up the relationship with the senior management of the third part, once we fall out with Speranski, the attitude of the third part will be very important!"

The cunning Orest left the difficult task to Saladov in a few words. He knew very well that the investigation of the Wallachia Railway Company was a pit, and he couldn't find anything new anyway. Once the final task is not completed, it is just right to hand over Saladov to take the thunder, and as long as he continues to make good connections, he may be able to get some credit in the end!
