Struggle in Russia

Chapter 408: Manners (Part 2)

Perier was stunned. He didn't understand why there was no need to rush the sale of arms. According to his thinking, Wallachia might be in urgent need of arms, right? Why are you in no hurry?

Li Xiao smiled and said, "The more anxious they are, the less we can satisfy them right away. Only by supporting them can we obtain greater benefits!"

Perier didn't understand a bit, but to him, it doesn't matter to him whether the Wallachians are in a hurry. All he needs to do is to sell the grain to the Russians and make money. As for when the arms will arrive in Wallachia? In the hands of the Lachians, this is a matter between Li Xiao and the Wallachians. All he has to do is to persuade the country to agree to sell this batch of arms and that's it.

It has to be said that under the stimulation of money, Perrier was very proactive, and immediately agreed to Li Xiao's request, and sent an invitation to the Revolutionary Committee, inviting bigwigs from all walks of life to discuss major plans.

When he put forward Li Xiao's amazing idea at the meeting, the leaders of the Revolutionary Committee were shocked. No one thought that money could be earned like this, and the high-sounding reasons given by Perrier were impossible for them to refuse:

"Gentlemen, I know that your country is short of funds and extremely short of weapons and ammunition... In order to solve this major problem, on behalf of the French government, I propose to you to launch a food-for-weapons program... This will fundamentally solve your country's Difficulty, it will help your country to better exercise its right to self-defense..."

The food-for-weapons plan, this is the packaging given by Li Xiao, it seems so reasonable, Wallachia exports food to France, and then in exchange for France to sell continued arms, is there a problem?

No! There is no flaw at all. As for France's resale of grain to Wallachia's archenemy, Russia? Sorry, what does this have to do with the food-for-weapons program? After all, the food was sold to French friends. As for how the French friends deal with the food, what does it have to do with Wallachia? That is France's internal affairs, which cannot be interfered with!

The big bosses in all aspects are very satisfied. According to this plan, they can cash out the food that is useless for their eggs. Not only can they get a lot of kickback benefits, but they can also get crucial weapons and ammunition. This is simply a gift from heaven. Good thing about pies! Why not!

There was almost no objection, the plan was approved by the Revolutionary Committee, and everyone was very happy, and then they could tell the general Wallachian people that they worked hard to import valuable weapons and ammunition from foreign friends, and they will protect their families in the future. Weiguo depends on this plan!

"Why do I feel something is wrong?" Kuza thought for a long time while touching his chin. He always felt that something was wrong. "The French would be so kind?"

Mikhail Kogalniceanu replied: "Probably they want to block the Russians as much as possible? Is it well known that the relationship between France and Russia has been very bad in recent years?"

"All right,

Even if the French want to add trouble to Russia," Kuza said again: "But you said that Jan Constantine is also very happy? No objection at all? This is not right, imported arms have the greatest impact on him! "

Kogalniceanu also couldn't figure out this point. Imported arms would naturally affect the results of Jan Constantine's action to seize the arsenal, but this guy actually agreed, which is indeed a bit unbelievable.

He also guessed and thought: "Maybe the French put pressure on him? After all, the sale this time is also handed over to Mr. Diomede. In order to make money, the French may force him to agree?"

Kuza frowned even higher, because he really didn't like the French. All the previous situations have proved that the French are not good birds, and it is impossible to help Wallachia sincerely.

Now that they are looking for them to sell food in exchange for arms, they may fall into the pit or be deceived again.

"No way?" Although Kogalnicianu was also a little suspicious, he felt that Kuza was thinking too much, "After all, this time the contract requires money, and the French can't do anything about it. Do you want to make a name for yourself?"

Kuza still felt unreliable, but there was no evidence, so he could only ask: "It is not impossible to break the contract after signing the contract... Besides, it is entirely possible for the French to lower the price of food and raise the price of arms. have it?"

Kogalnicianu smiled wryly, because Kuza was right. This possibility is not only possible, but also very high. After all, the French are not doing charity, and the nature of capital is greedy. Sex, not only is it possible to do so, but it is even possible to withdraw kickbacks or something.

But even if you don't look for the French, will the British, Prussians, and Austrians be arrogant?

Impossible, this is already an unspoken rule in the international trading market, especially now that Wallachia is fawning on France for this deal. In a pure seller's market, it is only natural for the French to make a name for themselves.

Hearing what Kogalnicianu said, Kuza also sighed, the weak are bound to be bullied, and there has never been such a fair saying in the world. If you want to win fair treatment, you must first become strong, otherwise why would the great powers give you fairness?

Fairness and justice in the world have never been obtained by giving alms and begging for it. You have to do it with a knife and a gun, otherwise you are doomed to be bullied, and being weak is the original sin!

So, if Wallachia doesn't want to be cheated, you can! Show your strong side and let France look up to you. Otherwise, just be bullied in the urine pit like a loach, stop beep beep!

Kuza asked a little frustrated: "Okay, who made us weak! Did the Revolutionary Committee discuss the distribution of arms?"

Kogalnicianu was taken aback, because he hadn't thought about this problem at all, because food hadn't been turned into ammunition yet? What's the use of thinking so early?

But Kuza doesn't think so: "Of course we have to think ahead. How to distribute these precious munitions is directly related to the growth of the strength of each faction! How can we not think about it in advance! What if all these precious munitions fall on Jan Constant What do bastards like Ding do?"

It was only then that Kogalnicianu realized that this was indeed a big problem. If no intervention was made, the urination of Yiyan Constantine and others would definitely eat more and occupy more. At that time, those who are really willing to fight for Wallachia will not be able to get many weapons and ammunition. If all the precious ammunition falls into their hands, what is the point!

Kogalniceanu immediately said: "I'm going to react to Nicola Balcescu and George Magalu. How to distribute the arms must be made clear, and these precious arms must not be wasted! "
