Brusilov's face suddenly became very embarrassed, and he sat on the windowsill, especially on the windowsill like some immortal, and kept patting his feet, which he probably only did a few decades ago when he was a child. Since he joined the army and underwent rigorous training at the military academy, this kind of stupid and naïve behavior has never been seen again.

And now that someone had invited him to do such a stupid thing, Brusilov really felt unhappy, he looked at the vacant seat next to a certain immortal, and then looked at Eberhardt, who was a little stunned by the behavior of a certain immortal like him, and for a moment he didn't know how to choose.

It's a shameful suspicion to go, and if you don't go, you'll be taken advantage of by this old bastard like Alberhardt, it's really hard to choose!

Fortunately, Brusinov's reaction was not slow, and he walked to the ledge, but instead of sitting on it, he leaned on the ledge, as if he did not indulge like some immortal, nor did he take advantage of some old bastard. At least Brusilov himself was quite satisfied.

However, Brusilov's behavior made Eberhardt snort coldly, and seemed to be very disdainful: "You are not even as young as a young man, Alexey. Alexievich, you are really living more and more uncomfortable! ”

Brusilov didn't bother to answer, or he didn't know how to answer, for his current behavior was enough to be out of line, so he looked away, pretending to be looking at the scenery outside the window, but he didn't hear it.

"You kid is stronger than this old stubborn, to my taste!" Sitting on a low bench, Alberhardt said proudly, as if his taste was the same as looking up to a certain immortal.

Li Xiaofeng felt that he had probably touched the temper of this old man. To put it mildly, it's just an old child. It looks weird and stubborn. But in reality he is just a lonely person.

For such a person, Li Xiaofeng is somewhat sympathetic, what happened to make a former nobleman and a senior admiral of the navy into this virtue?

He was thinking about this, but Eberhardt said to himself: "I know that your kid is waiting for the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, there must be something wrong with me!" Look, I'm still pleasing to the eye. Lao Tzu gives you this opportunity, listen, you can do me a little favor. Then I'll reciprocate and help you a few small favors, how about it! ”

Looking at the Alberhardt who sat on the bench and couldn't even stretch his legs, like a bear squatting on the ground, how funny it looked, but he opened his mouth and closed his mouth. Li Xiaofeng felt more and more ridiculous about this person, especially the kind of serious appearance, which made him think of a word - macaque and crown.

At that time, Li Xiaofeng couldn't help but burst out laughing. And Alberhardt, who was sitting across from him, didn't know what someone was laughing at, but he could still taste what this laugh meant.

The old man's eyes suddenly puffed out. Said angrily: "You are laughing at a fart! What's so funny, say yes or no. You hurry up and give a letter of approval, and if you don't agree, get out of the way! ”

Li Xiaofeng made an apologetic gesture, forced back a smile, and asked, "What do you want me to help you?" ”

Eberhardt seemed a little angry: "What else can I ask you to help!" How can you help? Let those damn mud legs get my son's Jason and Hart back! ”

When mentioning Jason and Hart, Eberhardt rarely showed a trace of tenderness, but a certain immortal really didn't know what Jason and Hart were, whether they were humans or pets?

Brusilov explained angrily: "He has a dog and a very slow thoroughbred!" ”

"Who said Jason was slow!" Annoyed, Eberhardt jumped up from the bench and yelled at Brusilov: "Lao Tzu's horse is the best horse in all of Russia!" ”

The corners of Brusilov's mouth twitched twice, and he said sarcastically: "A horse that is the best horse in Russia that runs first and lasts, right?" ”

Eberhardt became more and more angry, and waved his fist to ask Brusilov for an explanation, but a certain immortal quickly stopped him, he probably understood, it should be that these nobles have nothing to do when they are full, so they can only walk their dogs and horses. And for soldiers like Brusilov and Eberhardt, either they don't play, or if they want to play, they have to compete, such as dog fights and horse races, and everyone gets together and has fun.

But it's a pity that Eberhardt's Jason is really not angry, and he can only be the deputy squad leader every time, and this guy still likes to put the phrase Jason on his lips as the best horse in Russia, so he was ridiculed by a group of veterans back and forth.

For Li Xiaofeng, a dog and a horse are nothing at all, and if the problem of the Black Sea Fleet can be solved at such a small price, it will be too cheap.

"As long as Jason and Hart, right?" Li Xiaofeng asked calmly.

His rhetorical question made Eberhardt look at him suspiciously, although the old man was also concerned about current affairs, and knew that it was now the world of the Bolsheviks. But for those newly born institutions, there is no intuitive understanding.

Especially if someone has a special tender face, even if he heard that the other party was Chairman Petrograd Cheka, Eberhardt didn't completely take it to heart, and subconsciously thought that the other party might just be a representative of a big man or something.

However, someone's tone of voice just now was too calm, and the aura was too great, unlike a secretary or an assistant or something like that, those fake guys didn't dare to agree to any request easily, and they always had to discuss with the boss before giving the letter.

And now someone seems to mean that if you just want dogs and horses, you can do it immediately. This determination made Eberhardt begin to doubt someone's identity and status. He glanced at Brusilov suspiciously, hoping that the old thing would help him with his doubts. But Brusilov directly pretended not to see it, he didn't bother to pay attention to the freak of Eberhardt!

Although Eberhardt felt that Brusilov was a little unauthentic, he could not pull down the pole on his old face and ask others to understand, so he could only guess by himself. After thinking for a while, he felt that the other party might not be an ordinary person, this kind of person asked him for help, and if he didn't slaughter him fiercely, he was really sorry for his old face.

"Of course it's more than that! How can it be so simple! The old man said in a swarp, "My old servant Ivan has also been taken away by those mud-legged men, and you have to find a way to get them back for me." And my house. You're going to have to get those mud legs back for me...... And also. Uh......"

The old man glanced up at a certain immortal, who was still so calm, and seemed completely indifferent to these requests. But the more calm someone is, the more bottomless the old man's heart becomes, and even he himself is stunned at the end, not knowing whether to ask for it.

"Well, that's all for now! Can it be done? ”

Li Xiaofeng still didn't say much, and handed over a business card with a smile. Said: "Your request will be fulfilled soon, when you return to normal here, please come to me at this address!" ”

After speaking, Li Xiaofeng greeted Brusilov and strode away.

To be honest, the generosity of a certain immortal surprised both Brusilov and Eberhardt, and according to common sense, shouldn't they bargain? How did it just fall the gavel. Besides, someone should talk about what they want Eberhardt to do, right? Leave without saying anything, what's going on?

"It's very simple," Li Xiaofeng explained with a smile on the way back, "I'll give him whatever he wants." And it's very refreshing, if that old boy can't satisfy me when the time comes. Even if I cut him, he won't have anything to say, right? ”

Brusilov looked at a certain immortal in amazement, and he realized that a certain immortal was really black, and it seemed that he had unilaterally satisfied Eberhardt, and it seemed that he had signed an unequal agreement, and he didn't even say that he would let Eberhardt help him. But once Eberhardt can't please someone, then even Eberhardt himself is embarrassed to quibble.

And there is no need to worry about Eberhardt not fulfilling the agreement, as long as he is in Russia, the guy will not escape the palm of some immortal, unless he is tired of playing with someone, or wants to go to the Peter and Paul fortress to open a private room, otherwise, the old boy will have to work obediently.

In fact, Eberhardt's reputation was still very good, and three days later, when his horses, dogs, and house were restored, his old servant Ivan drove the carriage and went to visit a certain immortal early in the morning.

"Heh, you kid really enjoy it! I remember this was the residence of Grand Duke Nicholas, right? ”

As soon as he entered the door, Alberhardt let out a sigh of admiration, as if he was envious and jealous of the luxurious life of a certain immortal.

"If you like it, I'll give it to you!" Li Xiaofeng said indifferently.

Eberhardt was visibly stunned, it was clear that he did not believe that someone could be so generous, and that Grand Duke Nikolai's apartment in Petrograd was not the best, but it was the best. He remembered that the Bolsheviks were very "stingy", and not everyone had a share in a house like this.

"Are you so generous?" Eberhardt snorted.

"As long as you can help me solve some problems, a house is nothing!" Li Xiaofeng said very easily, "Even if you want to go to the palace in the royal village for a vacation, there is no problem with staying in the room under His Majesty the Tsar!" ”

Eberhardt's eyes widened, and he felt that either the young man in front of him was bragging, or he was the top Bolshevik bigwig. And from what he has learned in the past few days, someone is obviously closer to the latter.

"Forget it, I don't have too high requirements for where to live, and it's most comfortable to live in my own home," Eberhardt shook his head and said, "As long as you can make those mud legs stop harassing my life, you can just say anything you want me to help me with!" ”

Li Xiaofeng looked at Eberhardt again with a smile, and said what the old man said just now, he has a new understanding of the old man, this is definitely a person who understands current affairs. If this old man is really the kind of person who is so rampant that he doesn't know what his surname is, then he will definitely ask for something, and even take the initiative to open his mouth. And now his request is very reasonable, and there is not even the same aggressiveness that he showed before. For that reason alone, the old man is a smart man!

Li Xiaofeng has always been more interested in smart people, because there are too few smart people under his command. If at first Li Xiaofeng just wanted to consult the problem of the Black Sea Fleet of Eberhardt, now he has the idea of letting the old man do things under his command.

Based on this consideration, Li Xiaofeng once again began to look at the old man, it should be said that there is a great distance between today's Eberhardt and the rude and rude Alberhardt he saw three days ago. The old man's appearance that day was closer to being raunchy, or downcast, and today, at least Li Xiaofeng can be sure that the old man was carefully dressed up before going out!

Forgive Li Xiaofeng for using the word elaborate grooming to describe an elderly Russian polar bear, and the average Russian generally gives people a rough feeling of a mine, and they are very aggressive. Even the Russian aristocracy. Judging only by the ones that a certain immortal came into contact with. Compared to the mainstream aristocracy in other European countries, it also seems rude.

And today's Eberhardt, that cleaned up...... Uh, that's fine! The gray and white hair is combed back of the head, and under the action of the hair wax, it looks so oily and shiny. Although his face was a little pale, he couldn't see any dirt, and he seemed to have a little foundation. The beard at the corners of the mouth is as delicate as the hair. Each one is the same length, and although it is not waxed, each one is shiny.

As for the clothing, it is even more exquisite, there is not a single fold in the straight suit, and the leather shoes are even more blind. If nothing else, it took an hour or two for the garment to be ironed alone. What's even more terrifying is that the old man seems to have sprinkled a lot of cologne, anyway, Li Xiaofeng is almost so smoked by the fragrance wafting from the old man's side that he can't open his eyes.

Anyway, Li Xiaofeng felt that with the old man's dress, it was more than enough to participate in the state banquet. If you bring a hair cover, you can go straight to the opera stage. But no matter how you look at this delicate dress, he feels awkward. Especially after seeing the rough side of the old man, this awkward feeling became more and more intense!

Li Xiaofeng quickly remembered that this was emphasized in the information collected about Eberhardt in the past three days, the old man's requirements for grooming and appearance were not ordinarily high, and when working under him, he had to clean himself up first, and sloppy officers would be severely taught a lesson. And this is an important reason why his officers opposed him back then, for the rough mining of polar bears, Eberhardt's request is like making them gird their feet and wear a corset.

At that time, when Li Xiaofeng saw this, he thought that the information was wrong, but today, it seems that the old man is indeed living quite exquisitely, and I am afraid that he attaches great importance to this. Thinking about his poor subordinates, Li Xiaofeng felt sorry for those poor worms.

However, it is not a bad thing to live a delicate life, and for the navy, which is already a very meticulous service, it is indeed necessary to pay attention to the subsections. And the polar bear is incompatible with this, in the Russian Navy, because of the lack of attention to detail, the lack of strict discipline and the emergence of too many problems, it can be said that they are all blood lessons.

Therefore, even if he was choked by the aroma of Alberhardt, Li Xiaofeng didn't say anything, which is more comfortable than talking to a rotten drunkard who smells of alcohol!

"I came to you mainly to find out about the situation of the Black Sea Fleet!" Li Xiaofeng slowly explained his intentions.

Obviously, Alberhardt was distracted, and before he came, he had wondered what was going on with someone looking for him. But I didn't expect that someone was going to talk about the Black Sea Fleet. To tell the truth, for him, the Black Sea Fleet is a thorn in his heart.

At that time, the old man's expression began to become unnatural, he took a deep breath, forced down those bad feelings, and asked, "What do you want to know?" ”

Li Xiaofeng naturally saw the old man's discomfort, but what he wanted to talk about was the issue of the Black Sea Fleet, so he couldn't keep it hidden, right?

"Do you know what is going on in the Black Sea Fleet right now?"

Alberhardt looked at Li Xiaofeng, struggled for a moment, and then said: "I don't know much, after I was dismissed in July 1916, I didn't want to care about the navy anymore. ”

Li Xiaofeng thought about it for a while and decided to start from the beginning: "Then I will first introduce the situation of the Black Sea Fleet that I know, and then talk about the problems I need your help to solve." ”

Alberhardt sat up straight, looking completely deaf, but only he knew it, and in his heart he was still very resistant to the topic of the Black Sea Fleet. But who made him owe favors? Now you have to listen if you don't listen, and not only listen, but also help find a way.

Li Xiaofeng spoke slowly and carefully, and explained clearly what he had learned and the related problems one by one. But he wasn't just saying, he was watching Eberhardt's expression closely, and he noticed that when he mentioned the name Kolchak, the old man was visibly uncomfortable.

After finishing speaking, Li Xiaofeng stopped, just looked at the old man silently, he wanted to know what the old man would say to him.

After a long time, Eberhardt finally spoke: "You mean, because of Kolchak's relationship, the Black Sea Fleet may fall to ...... Fall to the side of the White Army. And you're coming to me just to find out what can be done to prevent the Black Sea Fleet from defecting again, right? ”

Li Xiaofeng acquiesced to this, he really wanted to hear what the old man had to say. However, Eberhardt only chuckled: "If I were still the commander of the Black Sea Fleet now, it would be easy to solve this problem. However, I am long in the past tense, and you should know that I don't get along very well with those former subordinates. You ask me if there's a way to fix this, and all I can say is, no way! ”

Li Xiaofeng didn't mean to be disappointed at all, he knocked on the table, and then asked, "If I can let you command the Black Sea Fleet again, do you still have this answer?" ”

Alberhardt was completely stunned, he didn't expect someone to throw such a big piece of bread that he couldn't even imagine. Swallowing and foaming, he nervously asked, "Can you make me the commander of the Black Sea Fleet again?" ”

"Not yet!" Li Xiaofeng suddenly smiled, "Because I don't know if you are reliable, after all, you are also an old officer, and I can't trust you yet." And to reinstate you, the obstacle is not ordinarily large, and it can even be said that it is beyond my ability for the time being. Of course, the most important thing is that I don't know if you are capable of commanding the Black Sea Fleet, and I don't know what the Black Sea Fleet means to us Bolsheviks at this stage! (To be continued......)
