Struggle in Russia

David Lebouf's hint should be said to be very obvious, almost saying clearly: "Old man, do you see that, this is Mr. Diomede who made a splash in Wallachia. Now we I'm going to change the battlefield and come to Hungary to make troubles, so what, if it's convenient, how about you cooperate?"

It stands to reason that the Earl of Perth should be able to hear it, but everything is just in case. This time the Earl of Perth ran into an emergency situation. Due to the impact of the February Revolution, the Earl of Perth's largest backstage in the country collapsed. In the past few months, he has been busy running for his own future. The old owner saw if he could turn the tide, but later saw that he couldn't do anything, so he could only redouble his efforts to trust his relationship to avoid being liquidated.

All in all, this guy's full attention is on his own private affairs, and he doesn't care about other things at all. Occasionally, he may have glimpsed David Leboeuf's great achievements, but he didn't take it to heart at all, and he had no impression of a certain name named Diomede.

Naturally, he couldn't understand David Leboeuf's hint at all, and he didn't understand what kind of charade the other party was playing.

David Lebouf looked at the bewildered Earl of Perth, and he was already scolding his mother. He felt that his old face was completely lost today. In case Li Xiao misunderstood that the senior French diplomats were all from Perth It looks like a bird, it's really embarrassing and it's thrown abroad.

David Lebouf immediately became impatient: "Your Excellency, the current situation in Austria is just the time for us to make a difference...and Mr. Diomede came here just because he saw this opportunity..."

At this time, no matter how dull Perth was, he understood what was going on. It turned out that the other party was not here to invest, but to slander the Austrians. He just said, why would a fool choose to invest in Hungary at this time, isn't that stupid!

Seeing that Perth finally came to his senses, David Lebouf wiped his sweat secretly, he was so easy on him!

"Count, Mr. Diomede and I are very clear that if we want to make a difference, we must get your cooperation, so we will visit you first on this trip, hoping to gain your understanding and support!"

To be honest, Perth is actually not very interested in engaging in Austria, because he feels that he is a mud bodhisattva crossing the river at this time, and he can't protect himself. Isn't it delicious?

Moreover, Perth doesn't particularly trust Li Xiao, who is too young, what do you think you can do? How can a rookie like you get involved in international relations!

So he was not very interested, but said lightly: "It turns out that it is like this... It's just that the current situation has gradually become clear, Austria has reached an agreement with Russia, and this farce in Hungary should come to an end soon, I think There's very little we can do..."

These words directly made David Lebouf cold--this guy is not interested, what should I do?

They are not interested and don't want to join the team, you can't force them to do it, can you? What's more, he is still the consul general, and he has more authority than him in Hungary, so what should we do!

David Lebouf wanted to sing cool, but Li Xiao didn't. He had been observing the conversation between the two just now, especially Perth's expression. He was basically sure of one thing—this Things are not impossible!

Li Xiao felt that the reason why Perth did not respond positively to David Leboeuf's words was because Leboeuf did not understand Perth's psychology. What's most important to Perth right now? That is naturally to save his precarious future.

So if you want to talk about Perth now, you must stick to this theme, otherwise people will not pay attention or interest at all. And Lebouf just just blindly emphasized how well he did in Wallachia and how awesome his grades are, which is worthless to Perth!

Li Xiao knew that if he didn’t hurry up and talk about something interesting in Perth, it would really be a waste of time this time, so he interrupted and wanted to continue talking about how awesome he is or how important it is to France to make troubles in Hungary. Leboeuf,

Turned to Perth and asked another question:

"Dear Earl, I heard that you have been in contact with many parties recently?"

Perth was taken aback, because Li Xiao's words were a bit out of date. What do you mean he was in contact with multiple parties? What to contact?

It's just that Perth quickly realized that it wasn't that Li Xiao's words had no beginning or end, but that he deliberately didn't say the whole thing. They said that he was contacting the domestic network in many ways, trying his best to save his future.

Li Xiao just said half of what he said, to save him some face. It's just that, even so, Perth is still a little uncomfortable, because making this clear is a bit of a face-slapping joke.

And the French are notoriously arrogant to the bone. Naturally, Perth was a little annoyed, but he didn't get angry immediately. It's not that he has a high self-cultivation, but because he realized that no one would be so stupid or arrogant. If you dare to openly come to your door to slap him in the face as a consul general, even if he is a poor consul general, it will not work.

And Li Xiao obviously brought up this topic suddenly for a purpose. Could it be that...

A trace of eagerness flashed in Perth's eyes, and he tentatively asked: "Why, do you have a relationship with Mr. Diomede?"

To be honest, this question is really a bit blatant. Generally speaking, aristocrats like Perth would not be so blatant, but now he did it regardless, which shows how eager he is.

Li Xiao immediately had a solid idea in his mind. As he expected, the other party was only focused on keeping his official title, so we could talk about it.

Li Xiao smiled faintly and said, "It's just something I've heard, respectable earl, please forgive me, what you've done is unwise!"

Perth was a little annoyed when he heard the first half of the sentence, feeling that Li Xiao came here to amuse him on purpose, but he was a little puzzled when he heard the second half of the sentence, why is he so unwise?

Li Xiao also knows that there is a limit to cheating and fishing, especially for people like Perth who are anxious to get angry, if they are in a hurry, they will really turn their faces, so he immediately explained:

"Your current situation is quite embarrassing, the new government doesn't appreciate you, and your old relationship can't play a big role in the new situation...Even if you try to make and please some new friends, it feels a bit cramped , people may not necessarily believe you!"

Perth was stunned, because Li Xiao explained his current embarrassment with a single word. He is now unreliable, and people dare not accept him if he wants to build a relationship. Even a large number of "new friends" simply take him for a ride. You say this is not angry!
