Struggle in Russia

Dimitri's attitude is very contradictory. It can be seen that he still wants to curry favor with Li Xiao, and he is very concerned about Li Xiao's movements, but this paragraph is treated coldly. What exactly is he trying to do? Bargain?

Not exactly for bargaining. Although Jan Constantine and Constantinescu reached a cooperation agreement in Bucharest, the situation of being besieged by conservatives has been initially eased. But remission doesn't mean it's all right, and it doesn't mean that their brothers can sit back and relax and do whatever they want.

The main reason why Dimitri treated Li Xiao coldly was that Jan Constantine was trying his best to clear up the relationship with the British, and the British recently let go of their words. Before they can completely deal with the British, they can only temporarily alienate them Give the French a bit, and wait until the difficult British are dealt with, and then go all out to overcome the difficulties of France.

In the final analysis, it is the gap in national strength between Britain and France that leads to the difference in the degree of attention. The British are still stronger, and Jan Constantine's first choice is to please the British. If the British hadn't behaved too badly before, it would have been impossible for him to switch to work in France.

But now the mood of the British seems to have loosened, so he hastened to do a wave of work. If it can be done, everything will be fine. Maybe it's not too late to go back and kneel and lick the French. Anyway, what the French want is obvious, and one Prahova is enough.

To put it simply, Jan Constantine's mentality is a little too much. Li Xiao's French style is basically not a big problem. can be saved.

But the British big iron basin is beyond reach now, and it is very difficult to deal with, so temporarily neglect the French to please them, make them happy, and then use the French to bargain for them, maybe things will be done!

In Jan Constantine's view, if Britain can be dealt with, then the chances of winning are sure, so even if he loses his French friend in the end, it's no big deal. Of course, if both Britain and France can be dealt with, it will be perfect, and the future of the Provisional Republic of Wallachia is almost as stable as Mount Tai.

It can only be said that Li Xiao is a bit sad. His purpose was exposed too early, so that Jan Constantine felt that he had a way to cover the bottom line. Naturally, he had nothing to fear. Anyway, for their brothers, they are just cubs and don’t feel bad. In Prahova County, put Li Xiao's fish meat on the chopping board.

But now Jan Constantine hasn't dealt with the British, and Li Xiao really sent someone to say goodbye, which makes Dimitri a little bit generous. Because according to Jan Constantine and his calculations before, the French should not be so impatient, and the problem of delaying for ten days and a half months will not be too big.

If the British are dealt with during this period of time, they can also bargain with the French in turn. Although Prahova County is destined to be sacrificed, how to sacrifice is another matter. If they are less tricked by the French, their brothers can also Eating two more bites of meat is not.

But who would have thought how long it would take,

The French were impatient and were ready to really get out of the way. This made Dimitri very passive, because there is no good news about Jan Constantine in Bucharest, and the attitude of the British is very vague. , is also procrastinating to believe, I am really anxious to death, okay?

If the British have not been sure to believe it, and the Frenchman flashes again, then their brothers are really going to be put on the grill, and the consequences are really disastrous!

Now Dimitri was really in a hurry, but he was in a hurry, but his mind was not in a mess. He knew that he had to calm down, and he had to find a way to find a countermeasure quickly. No matter what, he had to be stable for the French.

That's why he ordered the secretary to stabilize Anton immediately, and he seized the time to find a solution. The problem is that the solution is not so easy to come up with. After much deliberation, he has no perfect solution. Can he use force to give France People can't hold it.

Just when he was scratching his head anxiously, the secretary broke in with a frustrated face: "Sir, that Mr. Antonio is unwilling to wait any longer. If you don't see him, he will leave immediately!"

Now Dimitri was really angry, and said angrily, "If you can't handle such a trivial matter, what use is it for you!"

But teaching the poor little secretary can't solve the practical problem. Dimitri knew that he couldn't continue wasting time, so he could only go out and say to Anton in person:

"I am very sorry, dear Mr. Antonio, to keep you waiting. I am dealing with some urgent matters concerning land acquisition... You know, this is related to our cooperation. I must deal with it as a priority. Please wait a moment and deal with it I'll talk to you in detail as soon as I'm done!"

Anton's heart is actually like a bright mirror. Although he doesn't know why Dimitri delays time, he knows that he must not follow the other party's rhythm at this time, just not to give the other party a chance to delay time.

So he replied very simply, coldly and directly: "Don't bother, Mr. Dimitri Bretianu. I am here to say goodbye to you on behalf of Mr. Diomede. Thank you for this paragraph Timely warm and meticulous hospitality..."

"But because of the many affairs, Mr. Diomede has no choice but to continue to wait meaninglessly in Ploiesti. Regarding all matters and business of the Wallachian Petroleum Company, it may be a more realistic choice to suspend it. The time is more mature, and we will continue to cooperate..."

"Once again, I would like to express my sincere thanks to you and your brother Mr. Jan Constantine. Mr. Diomede is looking forward to meeting you next time. Goodbye!"

After finishing speaking, Anton didn't give Dimitri too many chances to pester him, he got up and thanked him, and then let him go. This made Dimitri so anxious that his ass was burned, and he almost begged to stay.

This made Anton sneer in his heart, a little bit of the pleasure of a successful prank and revenge, and then he watched Dimitri follow him like a pug and return to Li Xiao. Then, I watched Li Xiao reprimand and teach this guy with a look of surprise:

"Mr. Dimitri, I am very dissatisfied and angry with your working methods and efficiency. You have wasted a lot of my time... Don't you know that time is money?"

"I doubt whether the decision to exploit oil in Wallachia is correct, and I even doubt whether you have the strength to cooperate with us! Maybe we should find more powerful partners to cooperate, and I believe they will not procrastinate You can't do a little thing well!"
