Struggle in Russia

Chapter 173 Emergency

"Haha! Dear friend, you did such a good job just now. Thomas Edwards' face turned green. This British ruffian always likes to make trouble for us. This time he has been humiliated. See if he will do it again in the future." Arrogant no!"

Every crease of Perrier's old face was full of joy, beaming like the people living in the news broadcast. One can imagine how aggrieved he, the Consul General, was when he met the British before, such a trivial thing could make him dizzy.

But immediately he said to Li Xiao very sincerely: "But you don't have to take the Wallachians too seriously, and you don't have to be too happy to help them! These guys are all thieves, and each one is more dishonest than the other. , are all white-eyed wolves, there is no need to be too polite!"

Then he further lowered his voice and said: "So, just give the aid a little bit of meaning, give it symbolically, don't be too much!"

Well, Li Xiao feels sad for the Wallachians, because what Perrier represents is the true attitude of France. Any friendship and any importance are deceitful. serious.

Of course, he still had to appreciate Perrier's gesture of favor, and immediately replied in a low voice: "It's natural, these slickers are really dishonest, you can't be too polite to them, you have to whip them with a small leather whip, so that they can Be honest. Thank you for your reminder, I know it!"

After Perrier left, David Lebouf smiled and said, "The French Foreign Ministry, at least the French Embassy in Turkey, will love you to death, Andreka, you have helped us to look good. How many years?" It didn’t disappoint the British, thinking back when the tyrant was still there, why were we so soft, huh! The Bourbon family, fuck his grandma!”

Li Xiao knew that David Leboeuf had complicated feelings for France and Napoleon. On the one hand, he loved his motherland and hoped to see a strong France standing among the nations of the world. It is best to restore the glory of Napoleon's most glorious period, but on the other hand, he hates imperial power and the centralization of poisonous vegetables, thinking that Napoleon usurped the fruits of the French Revolution, and finally led to the end of the country with him.

So in David Leboeuf's mouth, Napoleon will always be a tyrant. It's just that the restored Bourbon family in recent years, whether it's Louis XVIII or the later Orleans family, behaved even worse, which made him really despised and disappointed. Yes He became more and more disdainful.

And Li Xiao confronted Thomas Edwards head-on just now. Not only did he win so beautifully that the other party had nothing to say, but more importantly, his aura was firmly suppressed by the arrogant Thomas Edwards. He has no temper at all.

This kind of spirit is what David Lebouf wants to see the most. If a nation has no soul, no matter how rich and extravagant it is, it’s still a mess. Once it’s time to see the truth , It collapsed in minutes.

And this is what David LeBoeuf is most worried about,

Because in the French elite, this kind of arrogance and pride is getting less and less, and a whole generation is like a walking dead. This really made him see it in his eyes and worry him in his heart.

Anyway, sometimes he listens to distressed stories, so he can only divert his attention by making money, which is quite pitiful, I have to say.

Of course, Li Xiao didn't mean to sympathize with David LeBoeuf, because every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite. Although the French have lived a bit aggrieved in the past 30 to 40 years, their family background is there, and their development is much stronger than that of Russia, which thinks it is a winner and thinks it is very strong. Regardless of whether it is economy, technology, or culture, it can beat backward Russia.

Even though France's international status was very embarrassing after Napoleon's defeat, no one dared to bully them and not give face, especially in recent years, with the rapid recovery of France's national strength, it is only in terms of military strength that it is just waiting. Two, it's just a little bit worse than the seemingly powerful empty shell polar bear.

And with the outbreak of the Crimean War in the next few years, although the performance of the countries participating in the war was really horrible, like a group of mentally retarded and brain-dead people fighting, France still won anyway, and the cost of casualties was no higher than that of the British. It's ugly, the international status is skyrocketing, but the polar bear, which is very good and powerful now, is not as good as a dog in one fell swoop.

Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, Li Xiao knows that Russia is not qualified to sympathize with and look down on the French. In the final analysis, the British are too strong and have too much first-mover advantage. It will take more than a hundred years to overthrow them. s hard work.

Li Xiao was thinking wildly, when he heard a violent gunshot outside, accompanied by the sound of an explosion, then the scream of a woman, the howling of a horse, it was as noisy as a boiling pot average.

I have to say that Li Xiao's reaction was extremely fast, he was not overwhelmed like other guests, and he didn't randomly ask what happened. His first reaction was to immediately move towards the side hall. There were so many people in the hall, it was too dangerous to stay here. What if there were assassins?

David Leboeuf also reacted equally quickly. I have to say that the uncle and nephew are both good people, and their first reaction when they see something wrong is to save their lives and get out of the dangerous situation. It is indeed an old fried dough stick that has been mixed since the French Revolution. It is really experienced.

"Andreka, I still want to find you. Who would have thought that your movements are not slower than mine!" David Lebouf laughed, not feeling that it was too embarrassing at all, but sincerely sighed: "You do That's right, don't be brave when you encounter danger, first ensure your own safety, and only if you survive can you do the right thing, and if you die, you will have nothing!"

This statement won Li Xiao's approval, and he echoed: "A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, as long as the green hills are there, he will not be afraid of running out of firewood!"

Finally, he looked around and asked in a low voice, "Where is Vishka? Where did this guy go?"

David Lebouf shook his head and said, "It seems like he was flirting with some ladies, but he disappeared after the gunshot!"

At this time, Anton also broke in panting, and reported: "An accident happened outside the city hall. The specific situation is unclear. Captain Pogorovski has already gone to check!"

Li Xiao frowned, and commanded worriedly: "The situation is unknown, what is he doing so aggressively, let the Wallachians go to the mines! Go and have a look quickly, and nothing will happen!"

Just as they were talking, the door of the side hall was pushed open again, and Jan Gika, Jan Constantine, Dimitri and Perier rushed in in panic. Just looking at their faces, they thought the world was in chaos The Provisional Republic is about to be overthrown.

With this kind of performance, I really don’t know how they had the courage to overthrow Bibescu’s rule at the beginning. Could it be that the bastard has become such a virtue!
