Struggle in Russia

Li Xiao was aware of the seriousness of the matter. Count Rostovtsev's actions left him too little time to develop. It is impossible not to swell after winning this huge victory comparable to 1814 with the character of Nicholas I.

That guy has always wanted to prove that he is as great as Peter the Great and Catherine the Great. Even if he can't reach that level, he can't be lower than his brother Alexander I. But this year, there is no second Napoleon for him to fight, so Nicholas I is actually panicking all these years!

It's like having a prehistoric power but being unable to use it, this time it's so easy to show off your power, how can you not make it bigger!

The problem is, both Nicholas I and Count Rostovtsev were holding back their big moves, but it was hard for Li Xiao, a child without a father and a mother. Originally, he was planning to grow up in Wallachia, earn money and accumulate strength, but those two wanted to play Wushuang. When they offended Britain and France and were hanged together, Li Xiao couldn't just cry what.

The only thing that makes Li Xiao feel better is that fortunately he is still wearing a French leather, and he can use this identity to protect the interests he has finally won.

After thinking about it, Li Xiao decided to treat the Bretianu brothers a little better. With these two brothers as pawns, he can somewhat take care of his interests in Wallachia, so he can't let the horse run fast and not let the horse run fast. Horses eat grass not. So Li Xiao decided not only to feed the fodder, but also the bean feed, and fed the two fat horses in one go.

After making up his mind, Li Xiao drove to the French Consulate General to pay a visit to the little old man Perrier who would wake up with a smile in his dreams recently.

Perier was indeed having a good time. After the British were in chaos, Robert Cohon couldn't come to trouble him, which relieved his pressure immediately. Then one after another, the Wallachian nobles who came to curry favor with him almost leveled the threshold of his family, and the money they sent was enough for Perrier to retire immediately and return to his hometown for the elderly.

Such a good life has never happened before. Back then, he was thrown into Wallachia, a place where no shit was like a shit. It was almost as if he had no future. Later, troubles followed one after another, because he was too eye-catching, he was often reprimanded by the Istanbul embassy and diplomacy.

Anyway, Perrier is ready to be dismissed, and I just hope that the gentlemen of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs don't throw him to a ghost place like Africa or Southeast Asia for the sake of his years of hard work and no credit.

But who knows that times will turn around. Since Li Xiao came, Perrier's bad luck has come to an end, but it has become more and more prosperous. Everything goes smoothly, not to mention, you can get hand cramps even when you make money. Such a good day makes Perrier For a moment Aye thought he was dreaming.

So when he heard Li Xiao's visit, Perrier attached great importance to it, and immediately turned down all the entertainment, and went to meet someone in person, and his attitude was very correct.

"My good friend, why did you come here suddenly! Did you encounter any trouble?" Perrier asked enthusiastically.

Perrier still knows Li Xiao's temper very well, except that when he first came to Bucharest, this son had a night of entertainment, and after that, he kept a low profile. Basically, he would never attend ordinary banquets, and he couldn't turn them down. It's just a symbolic appearance and then leave. Usually, this person will only show up when he is doing serious business or encountering trouble. If he came today, there must be something wrong.

"Your Excellency, there is nothing else to do," Li Xiao replied slowly, "The situation in Wallachia is already obvious, and there are some things we must prepare for!"

As soon as he mentioned early preparations, Perrier immediately became serious. Although he is mediocre as a consul general, he still has basic qualities. The fall of the Provisional Republic of Wallachia is inevitable, and it is certain that the Russians will always control Wallachia. Things will be very troublesome when the Russians come back, and it is impossible not to make some preparations.

Seeing that Perrier listened, Li Xiao nodded and continued: "Protecting the legal rights and interests of Chinese nationals in Wallachia is the most important thing. What do you think about this?"

Upon hearing this, Perrier immediately knew what kind of medicine Li Xiao was selling in the gourd. It is of course the job of the embassy or consulate general to protect the legitimate rights and interests of French nationals. But how many French expatriates are there in Bucharest?

To put it bluntly, the biggest expatriate is Li Xiao in front of him. What someone wants to ask is how to protect his legal rights.

Perrier was also prepared for this. After all, he is also involved here. He is the major shareholder of an oil company, so how could he watch his own interests suffer.

"I have written to the Istanbul embassy before, Mr. Ambassador has already had contact with the Russian ambassador to Turkey, and has expressed our serious concerns to the Russian ambassador..."

These are all scene words, and it’s hard to say how much they will work, because anyone who is engaged in diplomacy knows that Nicholas I is very cold towards France, and it is impossible to give face to the French if he sells face to anyone. This kind of trivial concern is useless.

But Li Xiao didn't point it out, just nodded and said, "Then, has your Excellency the ambassador discussed my country's investment in Wallachia with the Russian ambassador?"

Hehe, Li Xiao is asking if the Russians have made it clear how to deal with the interests they have recently stolen in Wallachia. Because these interests are illegal if you say they are illegal, but if you want to forcefully break the legal provisions, they can all be justified.

Anyway, this is a muddled matter of the public saying that the public is right and the woman saying that the woman is reasonable. If the Russian side deliberately wrangles, this lawsuit will not end in a hundred years. But Li Xiao didn't have a hundred years to argue with the Russian side, he just wanted to quickly swallow the meat in his mouth.

Perrier showed an embarrassed expression, and apologized: "My friend, you also know that things here are a bit complicated. Even if the Russian ambassador dares to promise with his chest, it is up to the Russians to admit it in the end." Two things...not to mention the fact that the Russians are very ambiguous now, they don't give permission, they neither acquiesce nor object, which makes people scratch their heads!"

In fact, Perrier is also worried about this issue. After all, it is his money. If the Russian guy comes back and comes back, he really has no place to cry. But if you want to say how much power the Russian ambassador to Turkey has, it is nonsense to be able to give a letter. That person is just a mouthpiece.

Li Xiao frowned and asked, "In that case, can the diplomatic department send a note to the Russians and warn them a little?"
