Li Xiaofeng is waiting for this sentence, it's really sorry that a talent like Mannerheim is not used well, the audience is really sorry, a certain immortal just lacks a consultant who understands military affairs, and he has no time to know about the mess of the EO company...... Well, there is no ability to deal with it.

Yes, things are complicated for EO companies, not because of office politics, the main reason is the lack of professional military personnel. The militia enlightenment textbooks given to Ren Fuchen by a certain immortal are too simple and crude, and it may be okay to cope with the military training of college students, but it is really impossible to train qualified soldiers.

Originally, Li Xiaofeng didn't pay much attention to this issue, in his opinion, people can't make up for it with weapons, and with equipment far beyond this era, his mercenaries can have a certain advantage. But the kidnapping of Princess Anne poured cold water on his head, and 6 heavily armed Chinese workers, armed with M1911A and SKS41, were stunned that they had never beaten a group of ruffians who played a small revolver, which to be honest made someone hurt their self-esteem.

Only then did a certain immortal whose self-esteem had fallen to the ground remember the sentence - it is people, not weapons, that play a decisive role in war. Even if there is a Chinese worker who is armed to the teeth and equipped to fight with the GLA of later generations, when facing a truly well-trained soldier, he will be exposed. It can only be said that the military quality of the Chinese workers is too poor, and it is not much better than that of the stragglers.

However, although the root cause of the problem has been found, there is almost no solution to it. In all fairness, Ren Fuchen has tried his best, but he himself is a half-hung monk who has become a monk halfway. I can't read the military scripture well.

Li Xiaofeng wanted Dzerzhinsky or Lenin to introduce a few Bolsheviks with military expertise. It is a pity that such talents are also scarce in the Bolsheviks, otherwise Trotsky, as the commander-in-chief of the Red Army in the civil war, would not have used a large number of officers and military experts left over from Tsarist Russia - such as Tukhachevsky or something, which is really no way.

Now Mannerheim himself has sent it to the door, although the old man is not a military genius, nor has he achieved any brilliant victories, and his military exploits are not brilliant. But it is undeniable that the old man was also born in a professional class, underwent a whole set of professional training, and also went through the baptism of war. Whether it was the Russo-Japanese War or a World War, the old man participated, and he was mixed into the position of lieutenant general, and he can be regarded as a senior general, 10,000 times stronger than a complete layman like Ren Fuchen. So there is no reason why Li Xiaofeng should not send out an invitation.

Mannerheim was a little unsure about Li Xiaofeng's warm invitation, and he asked: "You mean, you started a security company and invited me to be a military adviser?" ”

"That's right!" Li Xiaofeng looked at the old man expectantly and nodded repeatedly.

To be honest, he was not very interested in this invitation, no matter how he was a high-ranking general, a man who had been a military commander, and he had not ten thousand but eight thousand good men under his command, and now let him go to a security company as an inexplicable military adviser. Seriously, he thinks it's a bit overkill.

Li Xiaofeng will not give up, it is easy to catch a knowledgeable person, no matter how you say it, you have to fool back, those three thousand Chinese workers are the secret weapon and trump card in his hand, if you don't practice it, someone really has no bottom.

"Don't underestimate EO!" "This is a large company, with shareholders including the Nobel family, and the company employs as many as 3,000 people. Although it would be overkill to ask you to train a team of 3,000 people. But it's better than going back to Finland, right? ”

Seeing that Mannerheim was a little moved, Li Xiaofeng further encouraged: "The company's headquarters is in Petrograd, which is convenient for you to keep abreast of the dynamics of Russian politics...... I can also assure you that the treatment is definitely better than what you are in the Russian army. If you are not satisfied, you can terminate the contract at any time and leave at any time! ”…,

Mannerheim was finally moved. However, he asked to see his "soldiers" before making a decision. Of course, Li Xiaofeng would not object to this, and immediately rushed to the base in Finland with the old man.

Mannerheim was a man who loved his work and had a special preference for the military and soldiers. Therefore, as soon as he arrived at the base, he immediately asked for a review of the troops.

Li Xiaofeng met the old man's request. Mannerheim was willing to be vigorous, which was a good thing, and since he didn't want to rest, but had to work tirelessly to inspect the Chinese laborers, why should he stop him? Moreover, he also wanted to show off his armed strength in front of a lieutenant general.

A certain immortal was a little proud: "My general, what do you think of these young men?" ”

"I think," Mannerheim slowly swept over the Chinese workers who were lined up for inspection with a stern and almost harsh gaze, and walked slowly forward with Li Xiaofeng and Ren Fuchen, "I can only say that your young men have very good weapons and clothes on their bodies, but I don't see anything else that they look like real soldiers!" ”

"Huh?" Li Xiaofeng stopped and asked in surprise, "What's not like it?" I think it's pretty good! ”

"They lack the momentum of a soldier." Mannerheim pointed to the Chinese workers and said, "Look at the way they hold their guns, look at the posture they are upright." My friends, even though their faces are covered in black hoods, which makes them look scary, I will say that they just look scary. When they actually get to the battlefield, they will be in chaos, and I am afraid that as soon as the guns go off, they will become a swarm of headless flies! ”

Although Li Xiaofeng felt a little faceless, he felt that Mannerheim was right, and the combat effectiveness of the Chinese workers was indeed false - just standing in line, you could see that they were very different from real soldiers, they did not stand upright like real soldiers, not only that, but they also seemed very lazy, and there were people whispering secretly.

At this moment, Mannerheim grabbed a Chinese worker standing in the front row and asked solemnly: "Tell me, young man, what is your name!" ”

The kid was completely stunned, as an authentic Chinese, it is normal to not understand Russian, so he was completely at a loss for the old man's question. Mannerheim was even more puzzled at this point, and once again asked him his own question.

Of course, it was completely impossible for the old man to get an answer, and Li Xiaofeng could only explain very embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, my friend, our young man can't understand Russian......"

Before the immortal could finish speaking, Mannerheim jumped to his feet and shouted in disbelief: "My God, what are you kidding me!" Where did you find these babies, they don't know Russian, how can I train them! ”

Li Xiaofeng was even more embarrassed, and pointed to Ren Fuchen beside him embarrassedly, and introduced: "This Mr. Ren will act as your translator, and any instructions you have can be conveyed through him." ”

Mannerheim didn't like this solution at all, he liked to communicate with his soldiers, believing that only adequate communication could better improve the tacit understanding and enable him to do what he wanted. But now I don't understand words, although there is a translator, but it always feels weird to communicate through translation, not to mention that Ren Fuchen's translation is really not very good, that is, the level of a second knife.

Mannerheim sighed: "I must say that this Mr. Ren's Russian is terrible, and the communication between me and him is not fluent, and I doubt the efficiency and effectiveness of this method of communication." ”

Li Xiaofeng admits that Mannerheim is right, but he still can't help it, and it is harder to find a professional translator in Russia who knows Chinese and knows a little bit of military affairs than a three-legged toad. Although he is capable of doing this job himself, a certain immortal still has a lot of business to do, and it is impossible to be a mouthpiece for Mannerheim in peace. For now, we can only make do for the time being. …,

In this regard, Mannerheim was very dissatisfied: "You have made do with my soldiers, and now the translator you give me can only make do, I really doubt that this kind of improvisation attitude can train qualified soldiers?" Or should I decline your invitation outright? ”

Li Xiaofeng listened to it quite normally, but Ren Fuchen was anxious, he just heard an introduction from an immortal, the old man in front of him used to be a lieutenant general in Russia, and he was very good at military affairs, and he belonged to a professional.

Ren Fuchen has long been eager for professional guidance from professionals, and now when he heard that professionals don't want to accept it, he immediately became anxious: "Mr. Mannerheim, I admit that my Russian is really bad, but I can redouble my efforts, I can learn, and I believe that the language problem will never be an obstacle between us!" Trust me! ”

Mannerheim looked at Ren Fuchen and expressed disbelief: "I beg your pardon, I really don't think your language skills will improve anytime soon, and seriously, I don't want to waste time!" ”

"It's definitely not a waste of time!" Ren Fuchen said earnestly, "I promise you, I will meet your requirements soon!" ”

Li Xiaofeng also helped to say good things: "My friend, if it's not like this, give this Mr. Ren a little time, half a year!" If he fails to meet your requirements after half a year, I agree with your immediate resignation! What do you think? ”

Mannerheim was very hesitant, to be honest, he had no confidence at all, if it weren't for the face of a certain immortal, he would probably refuse immediately.

Ren Fuchen saw that the old man's face was cloudy, and it seemed that heaven and man were hesitant to fight, and he was afraid that he would not take the initiative again, so he immediately refused, and patted his chest and promised: "Mr. Mannerheim, I don't need half a year, three months...... If after three months I don't meet your requirements, you can leave right away! ”

Trimester? Mannerheim thought it was acceptable, and it was a good idea for him to stay in Petrograd to find out about the news when he returned to Finland for three months anyway. And he believed that within three months, it would be completely impossible for the young man in front of him, who was stumbling to speak Russian, to meet his requirements.

So...... Why don't you agree? At that moment, the old man said seriously: "A word is a certainty!" If you don't meet my requirements after three months, then I will terminate the contract immediately! (To be continued......)
