Struggle in Russia

Dimitri was stunned, his eyes widened, and he just stared straight at Jan Constantine's face for a long while without saying a word.

"Still looking for the Frenchman? Why?!" Dimitri didn't understand at all, and asked in surprise and annoyance: "The matter is already obvious, the Frenchman is just trying to trick us, just to take advantage of the white wolf , What's the use of looking for them at this time? Do you still want to send them to your door and let them fish?"

Dimitri became more and more angry, he punched the coffee table bitterly, and complained: "These damned gringos! What bastards!"

But Jan Constantine was very calm, and waited until Dimitri vented his dissatisfaction before saying: "Yes, these gringos are indeed bastards, but we need these bastards now!"

Dimitri said angrily: "Need them? What do we need them for? Are we going to kneel and beg them to give us a little verbal support generously, is that all?"

"No!" Jan Constantine said categorically, "You're over the top! We don't need the Frenchman for Wallachia, but for ourselves, for the Bretianu family!"

Looking at Jan Constantine with a serious face, Dimitri was a little suspicious and unsure what he meant, and asked, "What do you mean?"

"It is no longer realistic to expect foreign support to resist Russia, and we do not have enough strength to defend ourselves, so the collapse of the Wallachia Provisional Republic in the future is only a matter of time!"

Dimitri nods, too, and that's what he means, but does it have anything to do with continuing to beg the gringo for a dime?

"We are going to change our strategy!" Jan Constantine explained seriously: "We must change from defending the Provisional Republic of Wallachia to preserving our own strength for a comeback! So at this time we need the help of the French even more! "

Dimitri shook his head blankly, and he could see that he was very confused, and he didn't understand the brain circuit of Jan Constantine at all.

"It's very simple. Do you think it's useful for us brothers to change our flag to please the Russians?"

Dimitri shook his head resolutely. Isn’t this a dream? As the leader of the National Party against Bibescu and Russia, their brothers have long been on the Russian blacklist. The day the Russians came back, their brothers were arrested The one hanging on the flagpole. It is impossible for Russia to let anyone go, their brothers are not.

"Since it's useless to please the Russians, how can we save our lives? How can we preserve the family property? Is it possible to pray that the Russians are kind enough?"

Mercy has something to do with polar bears.

There are more ferocious existences than polar bears in this world, but there are definitely not many.

At this time, Dimitri probably knew what Jan Constantine meant, and he asked, "So we're going to find the French to save our lives, right?"

Without waiting for Jan Constantine to answer, he muttered to himself: "It's true, the silver pewter guns of the National Self-Defense Forces are useless, and it is estimated that they will disperse as soon as the Russian army arrives." It's..."

"In the chaos, the only way to be safe is to escape to the French Consulate General. If we move fast enough and have a good relationship with the French, they may be able to safely send us out of Wallachia and take refuge in Paris."

This immediately made Dimitri's eyes brighten, and he looked at Jan Constantine with admiration and said, "You still think carefully, it is indeed necessary to have a good relationship with the French, this is our way out! "

Jan Constantine sighed, and said disgruntledly: "Not only that! Having a good relationship with the French can keep our property! Do you plan to take relief in exile in Paris? Don't think that the hospitality of the French can give us free food. We have to first Make a plan!"

"Yeah!"

Dimitri immediately nodded in agreement and said: "We can also transfer property in advance through the French. Without money, nothing can be done!"

"It's not just the money!" Jan Constantine pointed out very seriously: "There are also our precious real estate, those fields, shops, these things that we can't take away, do you want to hand them over to the Russians? "

Dimitri immediately woke up. Indeed, the Russians would definitely confiscate their property, because they did the same to those pro-Russian factions before, and it is normal to treat others in the same way. Even if the Russians don't want to, those pro-Russian factions who have been punished by their brothers will retaliate with an eye for an eye.

Dimitri's heart bleeds when he thinks that the real estate accumulated by more than ten generations will be wiped out. What was the purpose of their brothers being so active before? Isn't it because they want to take the family wealth to a higher level, so that Life is more comfortable. Well, this is going back to before liberation!

Jan Constantine explained patiently: "That's why we have to establish a good relationship with the French and protect our property through them!"

"How can this be?"

Jan Constantine waved his hands confidently and said: "Nothing is impossible, it's all human-made! Think about it, although the Russians and the French are not dealing with it, the Russians are not too willing to offend the French out of thin air, so Even if the Russians return to Wallachia, they will confiscate our Wallachian property, but it is unlikely to do the same with the French property."

Dimitri caught Jan Constantine's train of thought a little bit, and he followed along: "So, if we can disguise our properties as French, then even if the Russians come back, these properties are still in our hands !"

"Yes!" Jan Constantine laughed, "What's more, that Mr. Diomede is now trying to make money in Wallachia. If we can satisfy him, then we can transfer our property in the form of shares. Inject into his company, so what if the Russian comes back?"

Dimitri let out a long breath, and looked at his younger brother with great admiration, his eyes were like looking at gods and gods. But immediately he hesitated again, and asked: "But those Frenchmen are very greedy and unethical! Will they be embezzled by doing this?"

Jan Constantine smiled contemptuously and said, "If you don't have any backhands or preparations, if you just do it like this, you will definitely be eaten by the French! These are even more greedy than hyenas, so we must Guard against one hand!"

"In addition, what is more important is the binding of interests and the exchange of interests. If we can make them happy and give them more wealth, then they will naturally not be interested in our little bit of industry..."
