The news spread faster than Li Xiao expected. That afternoon, thoughtful people in Bucharest learned that the French friends were planning to suspend oil exploration. Not only did the news spread, but it became more and more outrageous.
"You know what? The French guys are getting ready to run away because the Russians are coming back!"
"Really? Why is there no news at all? Doesn't it mean that the Russians have no plans to use troops?"
"Are you stupid! Do you believe this kind of nonsense? I'll argue with you. The provisional government has been blocking news that is not good for them. According to reliable information from the brother-in-law of my first cousin's second cousin who is a soldier in Moldavia, Russia
I have gathered an army of 500,000 and are ready to conquer Wallachia in one fell swoop!"
"Half a million!"
"Only a lot more! It was only after the French learned the news that they hurriedly prepared to leave!"
"What about the French guy's previous investment? None of it?"
"You are so stupid! Is money more important or life more important? If you lose your money, you can make more money, but if your life is gone, how can you make more money? So, we have to make preparations quickly. Run if we can, but not if we can't.
Just hide your property quickly and draw a clear line with the Provisional Government as early as possible to avoid being liquidated by the Russians!"
Almost overnight, Bucharest's aristocratic circle was boiling. The timid ones hid in the countryside or other provinces, and even prepared to move their families abroad to escape. Even the few brave ones stayed behind closed doors and waited to see how the wind changed.
, and made preparations for the fall of the interim government.
The so-called preparation means hoarding. Anyway, it is the common hobby of people all over the world to make a country with difficulty. The timid will starve to death and the bold will die. A man will not be rich without windfall, and a horse will not be fat without night grass!
Suddenly, prices in Bucharest and surrounding areas began to skyrocket. Daily necessities such as flour were priced almost every hour. When they closed at night, it was impossible to buy them even if you had money.
This kind of chaos naturally attracted the attention of the provisional government, but for these elites who had returned from studying in the West, this matter was nothing to make a fuss about. They were familiar with the operation of capital and touted the principles of free trade and did not think it was a big deal at all.
Intervention is necessary.
Because on the one hand, the people who are hoarding are their relatives and friends, how can such a good opportunity to make a fortune be missed? On the other hand, both the liberals and reformists and the ultra-conservatives in the National Party think this is a good opportunity——
Is it possible to unite the Bretian brothers in one army?
Previously, under the pretext of attracting investment and being friendly to French friends, the two brothers had recklessly acquired land in Prahova County, and almost all of it was taken openly. It was precisely because they had French friends in front that although they were thousands of people, they
I am not happy to be disliked and envied in every possible way, but there is nothing I can do about it. After all, foreign fathers, especially French fathers, are the biggest, so they must be filial!
But now, the French father is ready to suspend his plan to exploit oil and is not going to continue it. So since the French do not need oil fields, the purpose and rationality of land acquisition will naturally disappear. In this way, the Bretianu brothers will
Is it necessary to spit out the land that has been eaten?
Of course, for greedy foxes, there is no reason to spit out what they eat, but as long as these greedy people who have no way to get started unite and work together, they can eat some together! At least they can't let them get the advantage.
One family occupied it!
So then, the top leaders of the National Party in the Revolutionary Committee, the highest authority of the provisional government, began to discuss this issue and began to reach out to the Bretianu brothers.
"I think it is necessary to discuss the land expropriation issue in Prahova County in the Revolutionary Committee," Barbu Kattar said bluntly. "The land expropriation case in this county has caused a lot of uproar before, and the impact has been considerable.
He was so bad that he even committed a horrific murder..."
"...I think it is necessary for the Revolutionary Committee to pay attention to this issue and ensure the stability of Prahova County. We cannot allow hostile elements with ulterior motives to destroy the hard-won good situation!"
"So I think it is necessary to temporarily freeze the land acquisition. It is best to send capable personnel to investigate, not only to find out the truth of the murder, but also to ensure that the interests of the people of Prahova County are not damaged!"
Jan Constantine was definitely going to object, and he immediately retorted: "I object! This proposal is really inexplicable. It is necessary to acquire land in Prahova County. If we can attract investment from French friends, it will definitely promote the development of both parties."
The friendship is conducive to improving our country's international status and gaining more international support. How can we stop eating because of a trivial matter?"
"The people of Prahova County are also very supportive of the land acquisition. After the previous cases were investigated by Ploiesti City, it can be basically determined that they were pro-Russian elements. Their purpose was to undermine our efforts to establish friendship with France.
."
"If we give up halfway, wouldn't that just allow them to get their way!"
Saying that, Jan Constantine gave Barbu Kattar a long and vicious look. These two people have been at odds with each other for a day or two. Whenever there is an opportunity, they will dig holes for each other and make things difficult for each other. This is really a sign of enemies.
I'm so jealous!
"What a joke," Barbu Catal was not easy to deal with for a long time, and immediately retorted: "What did the investigation in Ploiesti detect? How did you know that the suspect was a pro-Russian element when you couldn't even figure out what the suspect looked like?
But according to local rumors, this case has nothing to do with pro-Russian elements. It is entirely a method of some people seizing land and killing people to silence them. It is basically a criminal case!"
Jan Constantine sneered: "There is no evidence that this is an ordinary criminal case!"
"There is no evidence that it is the pro-Russian elements who are making the claims, so don't mislead the Revolutionary Committee with your words!" Barbu Katajiu waved his hands in an imposing manner, "And the focus now is not the case itself. It is whether to do it or not.
Continue to acquire land. According to the latest news I know, our French friends have given up their oil exploration plans and are not prepared to continue investing, so there is absolutely no need to continue the previous land acquisition."
Barbu Kattar glanced at Yang Konstantin for a long time and said mockingly: "Otherwise, I highly doubt that this matter will get bigger and more complicated. By then, whether there will be another criminal case or a pro-Russian
Regardless of the new round of sabotage by elements, it is a huge scandal!"
"So I suggest that the Revolutionary Committee suspend the land acquisition in Prahova County. This is not the right time to do this. If possible, it is best to send an investigation committee to the local area to find out the truth before making a decision!"
