Struggle in Russia

Bucharest City Hall. This is a small baroque-style ancient building. The mottled exterior wall seems to tell the rough history of this country, and it seems to tell the embarrassing reality.

It's just that on this happy day, the Wallachians, at least the Wallachians who gathered in the city hall, didn't feel sad or nostalgic. Most of them gathered together happily, because today they will witness A miracle is born.

What kind of miracle? Naturally, the Wallachia Petroleum Company officially announced the completion of the first phase of business, announcing that Wallachia would become the largest oil and refinery center in Eastern Europe in the near future.

Of course, this first stage is only the completion of the preliminary project of land acquisition, and the specific projects will be carried out quickly and orderly. In short, the outlook is promising and the future is wonderful.

Is the future wonderful? At least for Li Xiao, David Leboeuf, and Perrier, who were standing in the C position of the rostrum, it was really wonderful. It was almost a white wolf with empty hands to get a large piece of land for nothing. How could it not be wonderful?

Of course, it is still wonderful to talk about the Bretianu brothers, Jan Jica and Qatar Jiu who are next to them. Because they only paid a little bit of infamy to curry favor with foreign godfathers, and by the way, they also made a lot of money. Even if there is a little flaw, it is still wonderful.

In fact, those who can participate in this grand ceremony are more or less rewarding people, so there may be regrets, but they will never be angry. Those who really have the power to be angry are outside this city hall, ordinary Wallachians in the streets of Bucharest who are ignorant of the future.

They don't know what they have lost, and they don't know what the dirty politicians have done behind their backs. They only know that the situation is good, and they only know what the Provisional Republic wants them to know, even if the situation is really bad. Dangerous, but they just don't need to know.

"What do you think the idiots out there would do if they knew what these scumbags were doing?"

Vishniak asked in a low voice to Anton who was closely observing Li Xiao's words and deeds. This child now admires someone so much that he almost regards him as an idol.

Anton didn't leave Li Xiao's eyes, and replied in a low voice: "I will rush in and hang these scumbags!"

Vishniak hummed: "Who said no? If someone let me know that someone did this, I would definitely strangle him to death!"

But immediately he sighed a little sarcastically: "It's a pity that those Wallachians outside don't know, they think everything is fine, they think these despicable bastards are working hard for the country, and they think these leaders are protecting them ! Protecting their interests!"

"I have some sympathy for these poor Wallachians!"

For this,

Anton didn't have anything special to say, although he also felt that ordinary Wallachians were too pitiful, but his focus was on Li Xiao, and he wanted to learn how idols turn their hands into clouds and hands into rain, because This really surprised him. Who dared to imagine that a group of Russian crooks swaggered and played with Wallachian elites in applause, making them confess countless secrets and give away their life's wealth.

This kind of method is even more powerful than those war heroes that Anton once admired, and it also made him fascinated. For a few moments, he replaced himself in Li Xiao's position, hoping that he would be the most dazzling star in the center of the venue.

Of course, this is only a few moments. Most of the time, Anton focused on the guests around Li Xiao. After all, Anton always remembered his mission - to protect Li Xiao's safety.

Although it is unlikely that there is any danger on the scene, who can guarantee that there will not be a hated Wallachian noble landowner who has been stripped of his land?

Anyway, Anton felt that if he was one of these landlords, he would be very angry and wanted to fight desperately with the perpetrators. The Bretianu brothers might be more dangerous, but Li Xiao would inevitably be implicated. So he was still extremely careful, not daring to be careless for a moment.

Anton was observing the situation of the guests, when he heard Vishniak next to him mutter suddenly: "Oops, why is the British guy here!"

The so-called Brit was, of course, Sir Thomas Edwards, Counselor at the British Consulate General in Bucharest. This Mediterranean-haired uncle who likes to walk on a civilized stick like a goose is crooked. He is Cohorn's assistant and the number two man in Britain in Wallachia. Of course, he is also a hardcore Russian hater.

This Mediterranean uncle not only hates Russia but also hates France. It is said that his father was wandering in Paris when Napoleon was, and he also likes to party with royalists. He is a hardcore counter-revolutionary. In the end, he personally ended up participating in the Battle of Toulon with the Royal Navy, and finally lost his life.

Anyway, there is one thing. Thomas Edwards hates the French very much. He thinks that the Russians and the French are not good things. To protect the interests of the British Empire, they must be firmly trampled under their feet. Only in this way can the British Empire last for a long time. Prosperity and long-term stability.

So it's self-evident what kind of attitude this guy has, and on this occasion he came uninvited, and the meaning is even more obvious, he is here to make trouble or intentionally add to disgusting people.

Sure enough, as soon as Thomas Edwards appeared, Jan Gika, the foreign minister of the interim government, was a little bit sloppy. It was embarrassing for sure. After all, he had a good chat with the British before, but he became friendly with the French in the blink of an eye. How much? It looks shameless, isn't it.

It's just that since he has already arrived, he can't be kicked out, so he can only bite the bullet and greet him: "Sir Thomas Edwards, why are you here!"

Please note that this is not an interrogative sentence, because Jan Gika has no doubts at all. He knows why the other party is here. Come and eat!" It is a truth.

This is just a spoken language to defuse embarrassment. According to Jan Jika's meaning, immediately use a few or two sentences to stabilize Thomas Edwards, and let him take it away later. The British and French must not just destroy drop everything.

But Jan Gika underestimated the British's violent temper, and also underestimated the other party's fast talk. Thomas Edwards rushed ahead of him, and taunted him like a machine gun: "Of course I have to come over to see , if I don’t come and see, I’m afraid I’ll be kept in the dark, I don’t know that some people’s good deeds can be so wonderful!”
