I'm playing whack-a-mole in Siberia

Chapter 80 Key Figures
  Rescuing Nikolai and Georgi from the ice cave did George no good.

George wasn't angry either. Thunder, rain and dew were all your kindness. As long as Ya San didn't cancel George's fiefdom, George would be thankful.

This time George also had no reward.

Okay, as long as Nikolai's gratitude is enough.

Good fighters have no illustrious feats.

"George, you saved me again." Nicholas did not forget how George led him to run wildly.

"Then you can't buy me a drink!" George said with ease.

"Hahahaha, George, from now on, I will pack your champagne-" Nicholas was very happy, this is what he can do now.

It's no big deal whether he has wine or not. George is a wine seller himself, so how can he be short of wine?

Nicholas was very serious and sent George a whole car of St. Louis the next day.

George was speechless, does this count as export to domestic sales?

George was generous. The St. Louis sent by Nicholas was transferred to George in Nicholas's name and shared equally with the heirs of the Grand Duke of Poutuan. Everyone had a share.

George's own share was left in the 4th Company as a reward for soldiers who performed well in training.

As a result, the morale of the 4th company became higher and higher.

Before, it was just vodka and chicken drumsticks, but now as long as you perform well in training, you will have the opportunity to enjoy even the royal family's exclusive food, so what else can you do, you can only repay the crown prince's kindness.

What George couldn't do on his own, Nicholas could easily do.

Demeter began to take notes. He gained more and more in the general regiment. These things George did were not taught to him by Milyutin.

Infected by the 4th company, other companies of the general regiment also began to improve their training standards.

They all have two shoulders and one head, no one is less than the other. What the 4th company can do, other companies should also be able to do.

They are all the heirs of the Grand Duke. When George did not come to the general group, everyone was just messing around, and the balance was terrible.

Nowadays, the training of the 4th Company is becoming more and more prominent. The regiment commander, Nicholas Jr., was the first to see it and demanded that other companies in the general regiment should be on par with the 4th Company.

In the exercise in September, not only the General Regiment and the Xie Regiment, but other units of the Guards will also participate. If the General Regiment performs well by then, Nicholas Jr., as the commander of the regiment, will be the biggest beneficiary.

This decision caused dissatisfaction among the heirs of the Grand Duke.

The 4th company is training hard because of the bet between George and Constantine. Why are they practicing with them?
  They are here to gild, not to torture themselves.

George knew how to be a good person, but Nicholas was not in the general group, so George, the deputy, had to stand up, so George organized the first banquet after coming to the general group.

There are many banquets in the general regiment, every major festival, or the birthday of the grand duke heir, or the birthday of the third prince, the anniversary of the tsar's accession to the throne, the wedding anniversary of the tsar and the empress, or even the regimental leader's dog gave birth to a litter of puppies. Wait, wait, etc., all kinds of weird days will become the reasons for the general group to hold banquets.

As an officer of the General Regiment, George was not immune. Although he participated in every event, he had never taken the initiative to organize it.

"George, you've caused us all trouble -" Mikhailovich's cousin complained in front of the regiment commander. They are all cousins ​​and have a good relationship in private: "The soldiers of the 4th company are from the entire army. How could we be the same as the 4th Company when they were selected by the Legion?”

Miha expressed the feelings of the officers. They really didn't want to go through the trouble with George.

"Is this harming you?" George quarreled with the crowd, and no one was afraid of bickering: "This is an opportunity for you to show off in front of His Majesty. Don't be ignorant of good and evil!"

"Yes~ George, you are really our angel~~" Peter, who was thanking the group, was still as sinister as ever.

They are all brother troops. The general regiment and the Xie regiment are so close to each other that the officers are almost like sons and daughters. Naturally, officers from the Xie regiment will also be invited to George's banquet.

"Peter, if you are scared, you can apply to be transferred to our general regiment. We will not dislike you, a defeated general!" George casually raised the mood. "That's right Peter, go ahead and apply. I agreed for your legion commander."

"Hehe, Peter, you are scared!"

"Haha, give up!"

The officers of the general regiment were enthusiastic. They could complain about George, but in the face of Peter, an outsider, the officers of the general regiment worked together.

"I agree!" Sergey, the leader of the Xie regiment, followed suit and already disliked this guy.

"I don't agree to accept them. The general regiment only wants the best officers." Little Nicholas said the truth in a joking tone.

Although George is high-profile in his work, he is very low-key in life. The more officers like this, the better.

Although Peter is also the heir to the prince, he is not even a decent person compared with George. Neither Nicholas Jr. nor Sergey want him.

"Don't go too far, I'm your brother-" Peter seemed to be furious. This guy was also good at adjusting the atmosphere.

"Hahaha--"

"Hehehe——"

"Hum hum--"

Brothers are also different from each other. Some people stab their brothers in both sides, while others stab their brothers in both sides.

"There are only two months left before the exercise. I hope we all take action, for the sake of the empire and for ourselves." George wanted to grasp it with both hands, both hands hard.

The September exercise not only involved the Guards, but also local troops and Cossacks. Who doesn't want his resume to be more glorious?

"For the Empire!"

"Ula!"

Both the officers of the general regiment and the officers of the Xie regiment raised their glasses in response. George spoke to everyone's heart.

They are also gold-plated, but only a layer of gold powder is plated, which is definitely different from being plated with a layer of brass.

But what if it is to reshape the golden body?
  The current Grand Dukes will gradually grow old as time goes by, and sooner or later the heirs will become the new Grand Dukes.

There are so many hereditary nobles in the empire, and every year some nobles become freedmen, or are gradually marginalized and fade away from the center of power.

If they can make a splash through the exercise, this may be their biggest gain from the journey of the Guards.

George did not see Vasily at the banquet, and Peter tipped off the news.

"George, you have to be careful. Vasily only sleeps four hours a day during this period. He has used some resources of his infantry director father, which may cause you trouble." Peter took the initiative to show his kindness to George.

This is the real smart person who knows who the key people are.

Nicholas's two dangers were not made public and were only spread in a small area. Peter was one of the people who knew the inside story.

Accompanying reading in the East Palace will not improve George's title. Helping Nicholas deliver flowers to the dancer will only make George a jester. Doing business with Nicholas is just a game. When danger comes, Nicholas can really be defeated. Being saved from danger is the reason why Peter took the initiative to show his kindness to George.

No matter what Asan and Maria think, give George a reward or not.

In Nicholas's heart, George's status is irreplaceable.
