Alexey felt sincerely distressed. If he had more cards to play, he would surely be able to easily win the secrets held by Baron and Mrs. Kosoy. But the problem is that he really has no cards to play. For Vara
He had almost no influence in the Provisional Republic of Guia, and it was impossible to release Baron Kosoy from prison.
In other words, he could only watch the opportunity slip away. This feeling of helplessness was really terrible.
However, Fontana had a different opinion: "You are too honest, I think you can just pretend that you have a solution!"
Alexey was stunned. He really didn't expect that Fontana would come up with such an idea. Pretending to have a solution is just a lie. Since the baroness came to the door, it means that the other party thinks that he may have a solution. If things go smoothly and they acquiesce,
Is it really possible to coax out those secrets and inside stories?
Alexei was tempted. He opened his mouth, as if he was ready to agree, but finally gave up on this method.
I saw him shaking his head and saying: "I'm afraid it's not that simple! Although the couple is anxious and angry now, they are both human beings and cannot easily tell us the secret. After all, it is the key to their survival!"
Fontana agreed with this, but she still insisted that she could give it a try: "Try it first, get in touch, and get a taste of it. Even if it doesn't succeed in the end, there is nothing to lose, right? What if it succeeds?"
"
It has to be said that Fontana is much more mature than Alexei in this regard and is more suitable for intelligence work. Alexei is still a bit pedantic and cannot let go of those moral and conscience ties, even for Corso
Duplicitous villains like the Baron and his wife cannot bear to deceive.
This is really too naive and innocent. If he is in a different place, the couple will probably play with him without any psychological burden. It can only be said that the intelligence must be flexible and not so pedantic.
Fortunately, after Fontana's repeated persuasion, Alexey finally agreed to give it a try, but he did not hold out much hope and said: "I'll contact Florin Propelita again.
This guy has also made some moves this time, and his attitude may have become a little loose. I will do his work again, and if he is willing to help, he can try to rescue Baron Kosoy!"
Obviously, Alexei still hopes to save people honestly, but Fontana does not have much hope in this, because Florin Propelita, the deputy chief of the Bucharest police, really has no real power, and the family
He is also the best at hedging his bets. He is pro-Russian, while his cousin Igor Propelita is pro-British. They are unreliable no matter how you look at them.
But at this time, Alexei had no good solution, because those true pro-Russian factions had been destroyed in the last coup, and only two-faced factions like Florin Propelita could survive.
"Count Speransky wants to see you?"
Igor Propelita showed a solemn expression. As a carelessly staunch pro-British, fake liberal, and fake reformist, his political stance has always been changeable. He is not opposed to cooperating with various forces.
Make contact, and don't hesitate to express goodwill to all aspects. Especially in this time when the winds are changing and people are confused, having multiple friends will give you an escape route.
However, he still has great concerns about contacting the Russians, because the main trend in Bucharest and Wallachia is still anti-Russian, and hatred of Russia is a general consensus. At this time, the risk of flirting with the Russians is quite high.
Even if the person who goes to contact him in person is his cousin who has a pro-Russian brand, the risk is a bit uncontrollable. After all, that person is also an official in the Provisional Republic Government and eats the food of the Republic and ruins the Republic. This kind of two people
Wu Zai’s behavior can easily attract hatred!
But Igor Propelita no longer dared to refuse the Russians' request for a meeting, because the situation was really unpredictable. The British guy who had previously boasted that he would fully support the Wallachian national liberation movement suddenly stopped.
, the support promised was not even fulfilled verbally.
This has already made many people nervous and worried about whether they have been tricked by the British. At this time, if they go to the extreme to offend the Russians and do not even give them a chance to meet, they will easily be labeled as extremely pro-British.
Igor Propelita is not afraid of being labeled, but he is very afraid of being labeled as extreme. He prefers that the labels on his family are vague and can be changed whenever necessary. When the British come, they will be pro-British.
When the Russians come, they will be pro-Russian, and even when the Turks come, they can be good friends of the Turks. This is the way to survive in the cracks!
"Then you meet him in private!" Igor Propelita suggested very cautiously, "Be sure to keep it secret, be careful, and don't answer anything to the Russians, even if they promise to
Don’t be impulsive, Jinshan! The situation is still very difficult to tell! Also, come and tell me the specific situation immediately after the meeting!"
This meeting was just as Igor Propelita requested, low-key, secretive and short. Florin Propellita originally thought that Alexei was here to buy him at a high price, but after the actual negotiation
Only to find out that's not entirely the case.
"The Russians promised you the mayor of Bucharest?"
To be honest, Igor felt that the price was not high. The mayor of Bucharest was neither prominent nor powerful. If the Russians really valued his cousin, they should at least give him the position of cabinet minister, right?
But Igor didn't care too much. After all, Florin was just the deputy chief of the Bucharest Police Department, far from the mayor. The Russians were considered sincere.
"What about the Russian demands?"
To be honest, this is what Igor is more concerned about. He wants to find out Russia's next plan through Speransky's request, so that he can make early preparations.
Florin showed a puzzled expression, and he replied somewhat strangely: "Count Speranski asked me to find a way to save Baron Kosoy's life. As long as I can do it, I will be the mayor of Bucharest when they come back!"
"Baron Kosoy?" Igor was also puzzled for a while. He patted his forehead for a long time and asked: "Is it the pimp? By the way, I heard that he was imprisoned because of the land matter, right?"
"Yes, that's him. He used to work for the Russians. He was the assistant to the mayor of Bucharest before."
"Assistant to the mayor?" Igor was even more surprised. "Is such a small official as big as sesame seeds and mung beans worth the trouble of the Russians? Is Count Speransky crazy?"
Florin showed a smile that every man knows, and said slyly: "It seems that the earl has a close relationship with Baroness Kosoy..."
Igor couldn't laugh or cry. He complained: "Are the Russians mentally ill? Viscount Beorgi is like this, and Count Speransky is like this. Do they all rely on their lower bodies to think about problems?"
After a pause, he then said: "Forget it, this doesn't seem to be a big favor. There is no need to offend the Russians. Just sell it well and try to save it..."
