In fact, intelligence work is not always as thrilling as in Mission: Impossible. Most of the time, intelligence work is actually boring and ordinary. Collecting clues from public information is the most common intelligence work.
Li Xiao is also planning to do this for the time being, and has achieved certain results. For example, he has collected a lot of useful information from his contacts with dignitaries in Bucharest in the past few days, and these people often reveal information inadvertently.
Very valuable information.
For example, when Li Xiao had sex with a certain aristocratic lady, he learned from her that her brother was the leader of the Wallachian National Guard. He also knew where the regiment was stationed, how many men, how many guns, and how many guns.
It was clear even that her brother and the deputy leader were the ones to blame for not dealing with each other.
For example, Li Xiao learned from his chat with the mayor of Bucharest that the entire Bucharest was extremely short of guns and ammunition. A large number of National Guardsmen were still unarmed, and even the most basic food supply was difficult. He even learned from the mayor.
The approximate size of the National Guard in Bucharest is known because the mayor complained:
"The interim cabinet knows how to assign tasks. I am so poor here, how can I find food and clothing for more than 30,000 people? It is simply baffling!"
To be honest, the awareness of confidentiality in this era is really bad. I don’t know what to say. If I tell the news, it will reveal a lot of secrets. For Li Xiao, a time traveler, it is really a pleasure to come and get it without any effort.
He got a lot of valuable information. He felt that if he kept this pace, this mission would be easy and enjoyable, and he could get it all done while having a banquet and having sex.
Of course, not all intelligence workers are as happy and comfortable as Li Xiao. Alexey, another senior agent operating in Bucharest, feels that it is difficult to complete the task.
During this period, he kept trying to contact his previous connections, but was frustrated to find that these pro-Russian factions had either been eradicated or had gone into hiding, or more simply pretended not to know him. After working for a long time, he found almost nothing.
"Florin Propelita still doesn't want to see me?" Alexey asked Fontana a little anxiously.
This Florin Propellita was also a famous pro-Russian during the reign of Prince Bibescu. He was once very close to Russia. But now he pretends not to know his old Russian friend, no matter how Alexey tells him
He didn't respond to the news. Instead, he kept flirting with important officials of the Provisional Government every day.
"Yes," Fontana sighed and said, "I have told you a long time ago that he is just a grassroots who can act according to the circumstances and is completely unreliable. Don't even say he sees you at this time. I'm afraid he will hear you.
His name will run away!"
Alexei also sighed and said: "I know, but now most of the people who have good relations with us have fallen. Only he can retain some power. If he can be brought back, he will definitely play a big role!
"
Fontana smiled bitterly and said: "The problem is, if you can't prove that Russia has the ability to regain control of Bucharest, that idiot will definitely not cooperate!"
Alexei sighed again. He also knew that Fontana was telling the truth. Isn’t that what a wallflower is like? Not everyone is as loyal to Russia as Fontana.
A master who steers with the wind.
"What's the situation in Bucharest right now? Is there anything of concern?"
Fontana thought for a while and replied: "It's nothing serious. The interim government cabinet is said to be quarreling. The conservatives and reformists almost fell out and are now trying to squeeze each other out of the cabinet."
Alexey sneered: "It's really short-sighted. The internal strife started even before the victory was truly won. People with short-sighted eyes probably won't be able to accomplish anything big!"
Fontana did not speak. Obviously, although she also felt that the internal strife in the provisional government cabinet was a bit short-sighted, she had reservations about whether they could achieve great things. Because just a month or two ago, it was this group of short-sighted people who gave Russia
The people rolled out of Wallachia in despair. In comparison, the Russians seemed to be more staid.
Alexei naturally saw what Fontana was thinking, which made him a little embarrassed, but he couldn't refute it, because the performance of his compatriots was really terrible and extremely embarrassing. So he quickly changed the topic
, asked: "Besides these?"
Fontana replied: "In addition, the French have been very active recently, and Perrier, the Consul General in Wallachia, continues to cheer for the provisional government... Oh, by the way, this Consul General will also include a French son-in-law.
He was brought into Bucharest’s upper class society, and it is said that he is the nephew of de Pelleni, the counselor of the French Embassy in Turkey... This young man has been very prosperous recently, and he seems to be the most popular person in Bucharest..."
Alexey thought for a while and asked: "De Pelleni's nephew? What is a young man doing in Bucharest at this time? Is he working for the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs?"
Fontana shook her head and said: "It's not like that. It's said that he went to Wallachia to mine oil, but he looks like a pure playboy. These days, he doesn't care about business at all. He just blindly looks for flowers and has a happy life!"
"Aren't all French people like this?" Alexey laughed. "In that case, don't worry about him. He is just a young man and not worthy of our attention. You should focus on the French people who are doing business... By the way, the British
Is there any movement?"
Fontana showed a puzzled expression and replied with some confusion: "The British are very strange. Compared with the big fanfare of giving money and weapons some time ago, they suddenly became a lot more honest. In addition to continuing to visit those
Senior officials of the interim government kept in touch with each other, but nothing else was done!"
"That's strange!"
Alexey also showed a puzzled expression, because the British were too active before. They planned and instigated this coup. They were the most solid supporters of the Wallachians. Why did they suddenly stop?
[Are they planning a new conspiracy? Or have major changes occurred internationally? Is there pressure on the British at home? 】
Alexey had a headache. Bucharest had almost completely lost contact with the country. The situation here could not be transmitted back, and news from the country could not be transmitted. It made him almost blind. How could he carry out his work?
After thinking for a while, Alexey ordered: "You continue to pay close attention to the movements of the British, French and senior officials of the interim government. I temporarily left Bucharest to clear the news channels. We must re-establish contact with the country, otherwise we will not be able to do anything!"
