Struggle in Russia

"Those guys are really honest!"

Fontana sighed sincerely, she thought that the Bretianu brothers would not just watch them swagger out of the Austrian Consulate General. No matter what, they had to send someone to intimidate or demonstrate as a gesture, but they had been walking for more than ten minutes and no one came to stop them. However, the pro-Russian faction who had been silent before heard the news and many people expressed their disapproval. Goodwill from Alexei.

Are Rusophobes like the Bretianu brothers intimidated by the two warnings of the Austrians? Then these people are too cowardly and useless!

Fontana felt relieved but also a little disappointed. Her emotions were particularly complicated, especially when she saw Alexei, who was lost in thought while looking out the window at the street.

After being injured, Alexei naturally treated her so well that he couldn't say anything. He really cared for her, holding her in his hands and taking care of her, for fear that she might make any mistakes. Fontana naturally likes this feeling of being cared for. May I ask which woman doesn't want to be so cared for by the Prince Charming in her heart.

But at the same time, Fontana was a little depressed, because it was gratifying to be cared for, but being so cared for could do nothing, and she could only pretend to be a baby all day long, which was really a bit depressing.

She has been busy since she was a child, and she has never lived such a life like a salted fish these days. This idle and moldy lifestyle really made her feel bored, and she wanted to find something to do.

However, Alexei firmly disagreed. After learning the lesson last time, he would not agree to let Fontana continue to engage in that exciting spy job. From now on, Fontana will retire early!

This decision was strongly welcomed by Haji. He assured Alexei that in the future, he would let his sister stay at home honestly and become a qualified salted fish, and he would never let her go out for prostitution again.

Fontana is really unwilling, not only because she hates being a salted fish and is eager to do something, but also because she knows that if she becomes a salted fish, then all the dangers can only be borne by Alexei himself. In view of the current situation, Alexei may face many dangers. Brother Bretianu and the others have proved that they can do whatever they want.

"Don't worry!" Alexei retorted with a smile, "They don't dare to do anything to me! You have also seen that the Austrians just issued a warning casually, and they were honest, which shows that they are not very courageous! You can rest easy and recuperate, and don't worry about these things!"

Fontana wanted to say something more, but Alexei didn't give her a chance to interrupt at all, and changed the topic casually, pretending to be a cool guy who can handle everything.

It's just that both Fontana and Alexei knew that he wasn't that awesome.

Because the trouble is really not small.

"Count, those Wallachians all talk beautifully, but when it comes to the truth, they are all stingy!"

Faced with the complaints from his subordinates, Alexei was also speechless for a while. Yesterday, when he left the Austrian Consulate General and those pro-Russian factions came to greet him, he didn't have this attitude. What's the matter? Are these people practicing changing faces?

"Count, I think most of those guys are here to test our attitude. They want to know whether we will use force against Wallachia soon. If so, then they will actively act to impress you. If not , they naturally stand still and continue to wait and see!"

Alexei smiled wryly, and sighed in his heart. This year is not so realistic. It seems that these so-called pro-Russian factions can't be counted on at all. Fortunately, he was racking his brains yesterday to think about how to unite these people , How to lead them to create trouble for the Russian haters. Now it seems that this is definitely his overthinking.

"Is there anyone you can trust?" Alexei asked dejectedly.

"Of the generals among the dwarfs, perhaps only Barbu Shtilbey is a little more reliable."

Alexei sighed again, for now he could only see this short general Barbu Shtilbey. I hope this one doesn't make him too speechless!

Just when Alexei was sighing, Li Xiao finally ended his long and tedious trip to Brasov, and stepped into Prahova County with the attentive company of Dimitri Bretianu. Visit to the temporary representative office of the Wallachia Petroleum Company in Ploiesti.

This temporary representative office was set up in the Ploiesti City Hall, where Count Adrian Petrescu and County Magistrate Anderses were shot.

Of course, today, all traces of that are gone. The mayor of Ploiesti, Antonescu, warmly received Li Xiao and his party. It is completely impossible to see that he was in the square in front of the city hall a week ago. Severely condemn the atrocities against the county magistrate of Andersey and several landed nobles.

At least today, he seems to be very kind, very enthusiastic, and welcomes Wallachia Petroleum Company to settle in Ploiesti. In his words: "Dear Mr. Diomede, Wallachia Petroleum Company can come to this city Investment is a great honor. My colleagues and I, as well as all the citizens of Ploiesti, would like to extend our sincere welcome to you and Wallachia Petroleum Company, and we are willing to make every effort to provide you with the best service..."

It has to be said that bureaucrats are by nature the most fickle. They can make impassioned and tearful accusations a moment ago, but they can also turn their accusations into kneeling and licking in a blink of an eye, using various positions and postures to please their bosses and foreign fathers.

So Li Xiao didn't take the words of this unscrupulous mayor seriously. He knew very well that if it hadn't been for the thunderous tactics of the Bretianu brothers to scare the wealthy landowners in Prahova, it wouldn't have been them Taking advantage of Bucharest, the absolute mayor would be another loathsome face.

So for this kind of goods that can change face at any time, there is no need to give too much face, and there is no need to take it too seriously, just go straight and get what you want.

So Li Xiao asked lazily: "That's good, then the land acquisition in the Prahova Valley went smoothly?"

Antonescu glanced cautiously at Dimitri next to him, because the question made him a little numb, and the truth might upset the French father, but the nonsense and nonsense might make Monsieur Bretianu Passive wax sitting, what if the French dad takes it seriously? He is really difficult!

Naturally, Vishniak also knows the way inside, but he didn't intend to give the mayor a good face, because he is playing the role of the difficult second brother today, and it is not convenient for him to say something for Li Xiao. So I asked immediately: "Mr. Mayor, what do you want to ask! Do you always see what Mr. Bretianu is doing?"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Antonescu to answer, he turned to Dimitri again: "Mr. Bretianu, is there any problem here? You see, Mr. Mayor is vague, It doesn’t sound like we’re really warmly welcome to invest in us!”
