Struggle in Russia

Chapter 598 Altur's Ambition

Things have reached a stalemate, and Li Xiao is at a loss. Seeing the Hungarians go further and faster on the road to death, do you think this makes people collapse?

But when Li Xiao felt collapsed, others felt that a special plane was ushered in. Altur, who was far away in Bratislava, was very happy when he heard the news that Kossuth and Bajani had turned their backs.

It's not that this guy is heartless, but that he feels that his chance has come. To be honest, he is neither for Bajani nor Kossuth. He disliked Baujani's conservativeness and Kossuth's radicalism.

He believes that the Hungarian revolution must be more pragmatic. It should neither bow down to Austria nor give birth to too many ignorant ideas. Especially Kossuth, the representative of the latter, troubled him a lot.

He felt that Kossuth had entrusted him with too many impossible tasks, and he had no military knowledge at all, and he was simply messing around.

He believes that such professional matters in the military should be left to professionals like him. Laymen like Bajani and Kossuth should honestly go to the parliament to quarrel instead of pointing fingers at professional soldiers like him. .

But now, with Bajani and Kossuth turning their faces, Altur felt that it was an opportunity. If Kossuth could be removed from the post of chairman of the National Defense Committee, then naturally he would not be able to pick his nose and eyes.

Is it possible to remove Kossuth as Chairman of the Defense Council? Artur felt that there was still a possibility. If he could help Jani, then the angry conservatives would definitely bite Kossuth desperately, and maybe they could really get him out of office.

However, Artur also knows that this kind of hope is not particularly great. After all, the radicals still have the majority in the parliament. Suter, it is very unlikely that the conservatives will overthrow Kossuth, unless...

"Unless Kossuth made a fatal mistake!" Artur murmured a few times, and then fell into deep thought.

Because he really knows some of Kossuth's tricks, but strictly speaking, it's not Kossuth's tricks, but Kossuth's subordinates.

The thing is like this, didn't Kossuth purchase a batch of arms from Jan Constantine through Li Xiao before? The person in charge of handling this matter was Zoltan, one of Kossuth's deputy ministers.

This guy is actually a businessman engaged in import and export trade, but he is a supporter of Kossuth. Kossuth gave Kossuth a lot of financial assistance when he was running for parliament. Therefore, after Kossuth soared into the sky, he naturally wanted to reciprocate, so he appointed Zoltan as the Deputy Minister of Finance, responsible for economic and trade negotiations.

Probably in Kossuth's view, Zoltan was originally engaged in economics and trade, and it would be no big problem for him to be in charge of the bank. It should be said that Kossuth was half right. Zoltan did have certain abilities, and he was indeed relatively expert in economics and trade, but he had a fatal shortcoming—he was always a businessman, and in that era, he was almost a businessman. Zoltan naturally also has a tricky side, that is, his hands and feet are not particularly clean in some things.

For example, in the arms procurement negotiations last time, although Kossuth and Li Xiao were in charge of the overall negotiations, Zoltan and Dimitri Bretianu were in charge of the details of the negotiations. During the negotiations, Zoltan's minor problem broke out. He accepted Dimitri's bribes and kickbacks, and did not implement Kossuth's instructions to lower the price. So the final transaction price actually gave Li Xiao an advantage.

Although Zoltan did this matter covertly, there is no impenetrable wall in this world. Altur's friends discovered Zoltan's good deeds and once reported it. But Kossuth is in charge of the Ministry of Finance and the National Defense Committee. How could his confidant Zoltan be brought down by a small pawn.

Not only did Altur's friend fail to overthrow Zoltan, but he was retaliated by Zoltan. In desperation, he could only flee to Altur to seek asylum.

Let's put it this way, this incident was actually not uncommon back then. Almost all the big guys did it this way. It was normal to take back deductions, especially for this kind of large arms transaction.

And the matter itself is that Kossuth of Zoltan actually didn't know about it, at least the kickback didn't flow into Kossuth's pocket. It can be said that Kossuth made the mistake of employing unknown personnel and ineffectively supervising his subordinates. It is a dereliction of duty but not particularly serious.

But, everything can't be on the line. Was it reasonable and legal for Kossuth to engage Ferencz? Obviously not! He Kossuth is on the line.

Since Kossuth can do the first grade, why can't Artur do the fifteenth grade? He can also give Kossuth a slap in the face, saying that Zoltan's acceptance of bribes and kickbacks was completely instructed and permitted by Kossuth. A friend who was persecuted made a fuss, saying that Kossuth was going to kill people to silence the incident when he saw the incident.

Although this is not all true, it is reasonable! Your Kossuth dog has done something wrong, shouldn't you, the owner, be responsible for it?

The only thing that makes Artur hesitate is how to maximize the matter, relying on his own strength is definitely not enough, but if he goes to cooperate with the conservatives, he is a little bit contemptuous of Baujani and others.

Artur felt that Baojani and his gang had a good hand at the beginning, but they were beaten into the current virtue, and their level was really low. In case I still can't deal with Kossuth by cooperating with them, then with Kossuth's despicableness and means, I will definitely give him small shoes later, and I will definitely kill him.

Altur was a little hesitant about whether he should take the risk. It would be a bit risky to do it, but it would be a pity not to do it.

It’s just that Artur is a bold person after all, and that’s right, a cowardly person can’t come out to start a revolution, but a person who has the courage to create an Austrian has no courage to attack Kossuth, how is that possible!

So after thinking about it for a while, Artur wrote a letter to Ferencz, describing in detail what happened to that friend, focusing on what Zoltan did. Lenz, the Minister of Justice, helped to uphold justice and returned justice to his friend.

Anyway, just looking at this letter from Artur, I'm afraid he thought he didn't know what happened to Pace or that Ferencz had stepped down. He's just a good guy who's dedicated to doing justice for his friends...
