The reason why Jan Constantine was able to dominate the Wallachian political scene for decades was because of his decisiveness. Once he made up his mind, he would go ahead and take action, never procrastinate and half-heartedly, but Dimitri was worse.
A lot, a little forward-looking and hesitant.
Fortunately, it was Jan Constantine who made the decision now, not Dimitri. After Jan Constantine made up his mind, he immediately began to make preparations. On the one hand, he urgently summoned the brigade commanders for a meeting, and on the other hand, he also started
The forces contracted within the city of Bucharest consolidated its defenses.
After all, their manpower is limited. If they want to rob the arsenal, they will not care about what is going on in Bucharest. And once they succeed in the robbery, they will inevitably face a wave of counterattacks. If they don't shrink their defenses at this time, wouldn't they be in trouble!
Jan Constantine's actions immediately attracted the attention of his political opponents, but no one knew what he meant. The current situation is bad, and it is really bad, but if you want to say that it is extremely bad, it will not be bad.
, after all, the Russians haven’t come over yet, right?
So at this time, Jan. Constantine's shrinking of defenses made some political opponents a little confused. Everyone was busy expanding their influence and territory, but you gave way. Is this the wrong medicine?
"What's so strange about this," Barbu Cataljoy was still so careless. From the bottom of his heart, he looked down on Jan Constantine, especially after Lasker Cataljoy was assassinated last time, he took aim at him.
Jan Constantine wished that the opponent would make a wrong move and make a mistake. "That guy has always been as timid as a mouse. Now that the situation is not good, it is normal for him to choose to be a coward!"
But George Stribe is not as forgiving as him. He has played against Jan Constantine countless times and he knows very well how difficult the opponent is. With Jan Constantine's IQ, he will not play such a bad move. Here
There must be a reason for the head.
It's just that George Stribe never guessed that Jan Constantine was so bold, so he was more inclined to think that the other party was going to play dirty.
"Who is he plotting against?" Barbu Kataljiu was a bit disapproving and said disdainfully: "Now that everyone is about the same strength, and they have basically formed an alliance, who can he plot against!"
This is true. Today's National Party is a tripartite party. The radical faction is headed by Jan. Constantine. The moderate faction is composed of Jan. Jika and some small and medium-sized forces. The conservative faction on their side checks and balances each other. No one can win.
Who do you want to overpower?
"It's hard to say!" George Stribe was not as confident as Barb Catharji. "That guy has always been good at making dangerous moves. Last time, the pro-Russian faction looked down on him and ended up losing everything.
He can never be too careful!"
George Stribe asked: "What's the reaction from Jan Gica? Is it possible that he and Jan Constantine are on the same side again?"
There is no good way to deal with Jan Jika, the old man George Stribe. Although this guy is not as powerful as him and Jan Constantine, he is very slick and capable and can win over a large number of people.
Those who sit on the fence and get close to whoever has the upper hand are disdainful.
Barbu Catalju replied: "No, that guy has been hiding in Istanbul and has not come back at all. Moreover, their activities are not frequent, at least they have not had much contact with Jan Constantine."
"That's weird!" George Stribe pondered for a long time but couldn't find any inspiration. He could only say helplessly: "Then keep an eye on them and don't be careless! By the way, I'll let you get in touch.
How are Constantinescu and Nicola Ionescu doing?”
George Stribe is also a human being. After studying Jan Constantine, he believed that the opponent's biggest weakness was the issue of unity. Whether it was Constantinescu or Nicola Ionescu
Fortunately, they are not of the same mind as him. As long as they are bribed properly, they can win these two families to their side.
If that alliance is broken up, then the strength of Jan Constantine will be reduced, at least one level lower than that of their conservatives. At that time, it is not impossible to overthrow Jan Constantine while the iron is hot.
"Those two guys are more cunning than the other. They either ask for high prices or refuse to give accurate information under the clouds!" Barbu Kattar said bitterly for a long time.
George Stribe sighed, of course it felt uncomfortable to be ripped off. Who would have thought that these little shrimps who were inconspicuous at all could influence the overall situation. If he had known earlier, he would have killed these stinky fish and shrimps in advance.
Cleaned up.
But now it’s just an afterthought. Faced with the blackmail, George Stribe could only bite the bullet and admit it. He said bitterly: “To meet their demands, let’s deal with Jan Constantine first!”
Almost at the same time, Constantinescu and Nicola Ionescu were also having secret conversations, and the content was nothing new, except where to go.
"Barbu Cataljo came over again to test it out, and his tone was a little softer than last time," Nicola Ionescu asked tentatively, "How about we just throw it in?"
But Constantinescu shook his head firmly and said: "Our strength is too small. Only when two tigers fight can we fish in troubled waters... Once Jan Constantine and George Stribe decide the winner, no matter what they do,
Whoever wins will be the next one to deal with us!"
"What do you mean?" Nicola Ionescu asked.
"It is in our best interest to maintain a balance!" Constantinescu said firmly. "Only if they continue dog-eat-dog, we will have room for development! We will fall to whoever is weak, and we must not let them decide the winner too quickly.
!”
Nicola Ionescu pondered for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and agreed to Constantinescu's request, because the conditions given by Barbu Cataljo really made his heart beat, but in order to survive, this sugar-coated bullet was still
Throw it back!
"What's going on over there with Ion Gica?" Constantinescu suddenly asked, "Why is there no movement at all? Is he scared out of his wits!"
Nicola Ionescu also sighed and said: "Who said otherwise! In fact, our best choice for alliance is Jan Jika. If this old fritter comes to power, he can overwhelm Jan Constantine and Georges.
If Tribe is on one side, we will have more room to move!"
Both Constantinescu and Ionescu are saddened by Janjica's laissez-faire. In their view, Janjica has no sense of responsibility or sacrifice at all. You stand up to challenge him! We will definitely
Waving flags and shouting for you!
Of course, Jan Jika is not that stupid, so these two little foxes can only make other plans...
