Cuza was a little confused, because the change in the situation was really baffling to him. A few days ago, the top leaders of the National Party, who were completely indifferent to the life and death of the country, suddenly woke up overnight, and they were all jumping up and down as if they had been given blood.
They constantly preached that they would fight to the death with the Russians, that they would rather live in pieces than in ruins, and that they would fight until the last drop of blood was shed by the last man.
Those who didn’t know better thought that these people were hard-core hardliners, but Kuza knew that these grandsons were not! Why did they suddenly transform?
Kuza was keenly aware that something was wrong. Something must have happened that he didn't know about, otherwise this group of people wouldn't be so active.
"I also feel something is wrong," Kogelniceanu also had the same feeling, "but it's hard to say what is wrong..."
Kuza chewed his teeth and said with a bit of pain: "Well, didn't you find any trouble in the Revolutionary Committee?"
Kogelniceanu could only smile bitterly at this, because he was really a junior in the Revolutionary Committee. He basically didn't even have many opportunities to speak, and his relationship with the big bosses of other factions was only so bad.
Things. So how could we possibly find something wrong?
Kuza sighed. This is the biggest shortcoming between him and Kogelniceanu. After all, they are both Moldavia, not natives of Wallachia, so their local presence is very weak.
.
Kogelniceanu is pretty good, at least he can sneak into the Revolutionary Committee, and basically no one pays attention to him. It is precisely because of the lack of connections that they receive a lot of information very slowly.
In politics, being well-informed is a great advantage. Knowing the inside information early will have an early advantage. Not to mention that they are completely deceived like outsiders, so they will only be beaten passively if they know it later.
"Should we go to Constantinescu and ask?"
Cuza clicked his tongue again. It wasn't that he couldn't bear to ask Constantinescu. Although the relationship between the two parties suddenly fell to the bottom due to the conflict between the two parties. But politicians can't be shameless.
If it's too thin, you have to be willing to do it yourself.
What is face? Compared with actual benefits, it is nothing!
Anyway, Cuza had this awareness, so he did not resist going to Constantinescu to inquire about the information. What made him hesitate was that he could not trust Constantinescu's character. In his heart, this old friend
He is already in the same league as Jan Konstantin and his ilk. If there really is any insider trading within the National Party, given this person’s character, he will never tell him the truth. Even if he were to ask him, there would be no use.
But after thinking about it again and again, why did they have no connections? Even if he knew that Constantinescu would not tell the truth, he still had to inquire, at least he had to try.
"My friend, why are you here suddenly? Welcome!"
Constantinescu was also an old fox who had practiced training in the mountains for many years, so it was impossible for him to have an ugly face. Although he had an unpleasant quarrel with Cuza, his face was still as fresh as a spring breeze.
How else can we say that there is no point in the chaotic political world? Everything is shown on the face. One is that it is easy to offend people, and the other is that it is too easy to see through. These are taboos in the political world. You must even hate someone in your heart.
My teeth are itching, but when we meet, we have to be more affectionate than if we were treating brothers. As for whether we are going to use evil means to add insult to injury afterwards, that is another matter.
Kuza was also calm and composed, and replied with a smile: "Isn't it true that the recent revolutionary situation is very good, so I came here to report to you on the situation of the army, and I need more guidance from you!"
The two of them smiled and exchanged polite greetings, each guessing the other's true intention of coming. Especially Constantinescu, who took Kuza's sudden visit very seriously, because the situation on his side was still half-dead, and Jan.
Although Ding did not exclude him, he did not make any promises to him. The cooperation between the two factions was a bit formal.
Now that the situation is becoming more and more tense day by day, Constantinescu is actually eager to open up the situation, at least hoping to enhance his own strength. After all, how to divide the spoils in the food-for-arms trade depends entirely on strength. The stronger the strength, the better.
Could take one more bite.
However, Constantinescu also knew that Cuza was not of the same mind as them, so he did not dare to make it clear and planned to see what Cuza's intention was before speaking.
"I don't know much about military work. I'm afraid I can't give you any guidance. You are the expert in this area. Is the situation of your troops okay?"
Kuza also remained calm and replied solemnly: "The situation is good, but as the general public actively joins the army, weapons and ammunition are becoming increasingly scarce... By the way, I was just wondering when will the weapons and ammunition obtained from the food-for-arms program be available?
Where’s the delivery?”
Constantinescu immediately knew Cuza's real purpose of coming, which was to inquire about the truth about the food-for-arms plan. In fact, he knew only a little about this plan. After all, a fringe faction among the top leaders of the National Party like him could not possibly know about it.
Too many inside stories.
But Constantinescu knew that the essence of this plan could never really be to buy arms. He felt that this plan was more like a way to realize Wallachia's last property, and it should be the National Party's last money-making spree.
meeting.
So he knew very well whether food could really be turned into munitions, but Kuza still wanted to divide the munitions. Isn't this naive and wishful thinking?
Cuza laughed at Cuza in his heart, but Constantinescu replied calmly on his face: "The specific plan is still being perfected, and how to distribute the arms is also being discussed, but Mr. Jan Constantine
The opinion of others is to arm the militia as much as possible so that more Wallachians can stand up and defend their country!"
Kuza was puzzled and couldn't figure it out more and more. How could Constantine be so kind and actually prepare to arm the militia? Why is this?
Constantinescu smiled and said: "This is also a last resort. After all, the situation is grim. To repel the Russian aggression, we must have strong military power. The existing National Guard alone is completely insufficient..."
Cuza was still not particularly convinced, but Constantinescu was not prepared to talk about this issue in depth. Instead, he changed the subject and said: "Now both the Revolutionary Committee and our party have completely reached a consensus that we must be armed to resist the Russian attack.
Invasion, so the differences between us have disappeared, my friend, the obstacles that hinder us from moving forward together no longer exist, can we talk about continuing cooperation?"
