Struggle in Russia

It was only then that Alexei realized that he had really thought things too simply. After a long time, this declaration was basically useless. Fortunately, he was complacent about it and thought he had obtained something extraordinary!

He recalled the attitudes of the people present at that time, no wonder the old foxes such as Barbu Shtilbey were so happy and active, their emotions were all acting, and they were just going to use this useless declaration to fool him, making him think they were I followed Russia wholeheartedly.

Thinking of this, Alexei suddenly shivered, and asked in surprise: "Then Barbu Shtilbey and the others are so active in signing the declaration, is it just a show for us?"

Fontana looked at Alexei expressionlessly and did not answer, but at this time, silence speaks louder than words, and everything is said in silence, as it is, signing a letter that looks like a nomination but actually has no deterrent effect. Empty papers can please the Russians without paying too much, so why not do it?

This made Alexei feel more and more like a fool, and he was molested by Barbu Shtilbey and his gang for the whole scene. It's too shameful!

Alexei gritted his teeth and scolded: "These old foxes!"

Then he asked worriedly: "Doesn't that mean that the assassination is just a show?"

This time, Fontana shook her head and said, "No, those guys seem to really have this plan, and they may be more motivated and interested in it than declaring it!"

Alexei asked in amazement, "Why?"

"It's very simple," Fontana sneered, "because the Bretianu brothers really drove them into a hurry and caused them heavy losses, and they have no intention of stopping for the time being. In order to protect their precarious wealth, they You definitely won’t sit still. And your plan to assassinate the brothers has the direct effect and the lowest risk, so they will support it!”

This made Alexei puzzled again, and he said puzzledly: "No way! The Bretianu brothers are important figures in the National Party, and they are very powerful. Attacking them is tantamount to declaring war on the National Party. This is direct. Provocative! Do they have the guts?"

Fontana explained: "The assassination of the Bretianu brothers looks like a provocation to the National Party, and the risk is not small, but it is by no means as serious as you think!"

"Because although their brothers are the leaders of the National Party, they do not fully represent the National Party. Assassinating them cannot be completely equated with the opposition to the National Party. Moreover, their brothers have many enemies in the National Party, and many people also see If you are not used to them, getting rid of them will only make this group of people applaud..."

"Perhaps at this moment, many of the people who signed the declaration are already reporting to the political opponents of the Bretianu brothers.

Tell them the great news! "

"And I guess, not only will the political enemies of the brothers not stop them, but they will provide some convenience, and they are going to kill people with a knife!"

Alexei was shocked. He never thought that politics could be so complicated, let alone that people's hearts could be so sinister.

Fontana also warned about this: "So when you deal with this type of people in the future, you must be more careful, and don't believe any guarantees or words from them, because none of them are true, and they are all unreliable!"

The worried Fontana also added a special sentence: "It's the same in Russia. These people are too cautious, and they must be defensive!"

Alexey fell into deep thought, because this trip to Wallachia really taught him a lot of things that he had never thought of before. It was the first time he discovered that human nature can be so ugly, and it was the first time he discovered that conspiracies and tricks can be so changeable. Many things, the first time he discovered that politicians' mouths were called deceitful ghosts, it made him a little suspicious of life and how he grew up to such a size safely.

"The assassination?" Alexei asked with lingering fear.

Fontana thought for a while and replied: "Let's take a step and take a look, but we have to be prepared, because if something happens, none of those guys can be relied on, we can only rely on ourselves, we must be fully prepared ensure safety!"

This time Alexei finally listened to it, knowing how powerful those old foxes are, naturally he didn't dare to trust them wholeheartedly, and this also made him miss Leonid and Li Xiao even more as friends, being with Li Xiao and the others If you don't, you don't have to worry about these intrigues at all. Everyone is for everyone and everyone is for me, and they are all doing things wholeheartedly. Where can there be such nonsense!

Thinking of this, he had a thought and asked, "Have you contacted Odessa?"

Fontana had also heard about Li Xiao, and felt sympathy for a group of top soldiers who changed their careers to engage in intelligence: "We have made contact, but it seems that your friend is in Bessarabia, at least the public information is so... "

"Really? Are you going to come from Moldavia?" Alexei muttered worriedly, "I hope my letter can be delivered before they risk crossing the border. It's too messy here, and they haven't Any relationship is too dangerous!"

Well, poor Alexei doesn't know how much fun Li Xiao and the others are having, because this guy is counting money and his hands are cramp! These days, the Bretianu brothers have not only sent land deeds, but also a new wave of real money for the purchase of shares in joint ventures. That is really not a small number. Anyway, Vishniak and Anton have already seen I was stunned, I didn't understand what kind of madness Brother Bretianu was doing!

But Li Xiao saw through their thoughts: "These two brothers are really smart!"

David Lebouf also sighed: "Who says it's not! They don't see it well, so they're going to retreat!"

Vishniak and Anton were still at a loss, and Li Xiao could only explain: "They knew that it was no longer possible to rely on goodwill with Britain and France to help the Provisional Republic of Wallachia survive, so they wantonly collected money. Then rely on us to keep their wealth, so that they can go to Paris to live a high-class exile life, do you think it is shrewd or not?"

"ah!!!"

Vishniak screamed and said angrily: "These two old bastards are shameless! We must not let them be proud!"

But Li Xiao asked back: "Why?"

Vishniak said: "They are enemies!"

Li Xiao laughed and said, "Those are also enemies that are very useful to us. Keeping them is much more useful than killing them!"

Vishniak was confused and didn't understand what Li Xiao was doing, and Li Xiao didn't mean to explain, because he couldn't say that Russia's future presence in Wallachia would not last long, as long as Crimea When the Asian War started, Wallachia and Moldavia were another situation. In order to protect the interests that they had finally acquired, it would be more useful to keep the Bretianu brothers!
