Struggle in Russia

Chapter 472: It's a hit and miss (Part 2)

Perth's mood immediately improved a lot. If he could really build a bridge to help the Hungarians strengthen their strength, it would be a great achievement. When domestic political opponents attacked him again, he would be able to defend himself. Although it would not be enough to completely turn the tables and reverse the situation, at least it wasn't just that he was beaten and couldn't fight back.

Immediately, Li Xiao was at least twice as pleasing to Perth's eyes. Anyone who could solve problems was liked by everyone, but Perth was a little bit too happy because the surprise that Li Xiao wanted to give him was far more than that.

Li Xiao glanced at Lebouf again, winked, and then left the scene temporarily under the pretext of going to the toilet. As soon as Li Xiao left, Lebouf said to Perth with a smile:

"Count, Mr. Diomede is a very emotional person. Although he personally came to help the Hungarian revolutionaries out of admiration for their freedom, he felt that his compatriots should not be busy in vain, so If these aiding causes are successful, you will receive 5% and an additional 5% will be awarded to your colleagues who contributed to this success!"

Perth took a deep breath when he heard it. This is the legendary rebate, and don’t underestimate the 5%. Tens of thousands of rifles are a big business. This alone is enough for him to make a lot of money. Don't forget there are artillery, if this deal is really done, not to mention letting him spend his old age in peace, at least he won't leave Hungary in despair.

And Lebouf has something to say later: "Besides, this is just an appetizer. There is a bigger business that needs your cooperation. As long as it can succeed, Mr. Diomede will never treat you badly!"

Perth was naturally overjoyed. The God of Wealth is always popular these days, not to mention that what the God of Wealth is going to do is actually good for him. Naturally, it hit it off. Of course, he was more satisfied with the attitude of the other party, and he didn't say it face to face, a nobleman like him can spend money but must not lose his dignity, he is very satisfied now that he is very decent!

"Very good!" Perston was beaming with joy, and spared no effort to praise: "Our country needs more young talents like Mr. Diomede. I believe our cooperation will be very pleasant!"

Lebouf naturally praised Perth again and again, and then said: "Then it's settled, I will trouble you to contact the Hungarian side on your behalf, and then we can proceed to the next step as soon as possible..."

In fact, Lebouf Tippers would have done it right away without Lebouf. He even felt that the consul general would give him face if the other party didn’t contact the Hungarian side directly, because in his opinion, as long as Li Xiao came to the door with weapons and equipment without him making an introduction, The Hungarian side will also regard it as a guest of honor!

But the other party did not bypass him in this regard, he was very particular about his methods, which made Perth very comfortable, and made him feel more and more that the other party's identity was not simple, and he should be the illegitimate son of a certain nobleman with great status.

All right,

Poor Li Xiao has been recognized as an illegitimate child by Perth, but it is not depressing for Li Xiao, anyway, he came from time travel, you can think about it as you like, as long as it does not affect his actual interests.

Not to mention the contact with the Hungarian Revolutionary Party in Perth excitedly, Li Xiao and Lebouf were not idle, and after writing to Jan Constantine to remind him again to pay attention to the arsenal and prepare the ammunition, it was Tell him to do a good job of cleaning up the road.

After all, Wallachia was not in general chaos, and the prestige of the provisional government had disappeared in many areas. It was not an easy task to transport such a large amount of arms to Hungary safely.

Of course, Li Xiao also believes that under the stimulation of money, Yang Constantine will definitely do his best, after all, no one will have trouble with money.

Just two days later, there is still no news from Perth. This makes Lebouf a little bit impatient, because the Hungarians shouldn't be so indifferent? It's giving arms and selling arms. Don't you care about such a big deal? If you just fool around like this, then what a revolution!

Lebouf couldn't help complaining: "With this kind of efficiency, what kind of revolution is there? When we were in Paris, we lived day and night, how can we be so dawdling like the Hungarians..."

Li Xiao just smiled when he heard that, because the French were really passionate and motivated back then, but that was back then, as of now, laziness has become synonymous with the French, maybe they are just a little more active than spaghetti.

Lebouf walked around the room twice, and proposed another possibility: "Or this guy in Perth is unreliable and has poor handling ability!"

Li Xiao remained silent, because it was Lebouf who said that Perth was capable, but now he is still the one who complained about his incompetence. This uncle has finished talking by himself, so what else can he say?

So what exactly went wrong? Is there really a problem with Perth's ability?

This really wronged the French, because he really went all out, but the situation changed unexpectedly. As the leader of the Hungarian revolutionary government, Kossuth was not in Pest at this time, and this kind of big deal can be finalized There is only Kossuth, he is not at home, what can you do?

In fact, Perth is even more anxious than Lebouf. He has to go to the revolutionary government's residence at least twice a day, just to meet Kossuth as soon as possible and then quickly finalize the deal, because time is really tight!

The old saying is true at all, haste makes waste, the more Perth is anxious to go faster, the faster he will not get up. Because Kossuth went to Seksberg and Veszprem to inspect the National Army.

Both cities are located in the southwest of Pest. Seksberg Castle is about 60 kilometers away from Pest. It was once the capital of the Hungarian Kingdom, and there are many tombs of ancient Hungarian kings. As for Veszprem, it is a little further away, about 100 kilometers away from Pest. These two cities are important transportation hubs from Hungary to Croatia, and their strategic significance is still relatively large.

As for the main purpose of Kossuth’s trip is to rectify and recruit more National Army, Jeracic’s Croatian Legion made the Hungarians very embarrassed, and the Serbs in the south were also instigated by Jelacic to oppose the Hungarian revolution government.

So Kossuth is going to regroup the army in the south, it is best to go south again, because he has heard that Jelacic left Croatia with the main force, if he can destroy Jelacic's lair in one fell swoop, he can change the situation in the south The situation has changed from passive to active.

It's just that this will make Perth miserable. I guess this guy has made a few more trips recently...
