Jan Constantine swallowed hard and looked around. Fortunately, he sent Rossetti to "deliver" Constantinescu. Otherwise, it would be bad if he heard the secret.
Big deal.
So he lowered his voice and asked softly: "You mean to cooperate with the Russians?"
Li Xiao smiled and said: "I saw you right, you are indeed a smart man. Under the current situation, the only way to protect our interests is to cooperate with Russia. If I come forward to give Russia a certain degree of goodwill, then Russia will
People must reciprocate... In this way, our company's interests in Wallachia can be protected, and we will not suffer heavy losses due to the Russian occupation. At the very least, we cannot let the Russians confiscate our property, right?"
Jan Constantine swallowed again. This idea was indeed a bit big, but he could understand it. After all, for the French, having breasts is a mother. Wallachia is not their core interest. Who should follow it?
Is cooperation not cooperation? As long as the Russians ensure his interests, what about cooperation with Russia?
In fact, Jan Constantine was not born to be anti-Russian, but was forced out of it. Before, there were many people who were pro-Russian, and it was not his turn to kneel and lick Russia. He had no choice but to be pro-British and French and to oppose Russia.
.
If he could be given a chance to kneel down and lick Russia now, would he be willing to do his best to serve the region?
Politicians are so realistic, or shameless. As long as there are enough benefits, let alone the blood feud of eighteen generations, nothing can be traded. This is the core idea of people like Jan Constantine.
So don't say that his thoughts changed too quickly. He immediately understood what Li Xiao meant: Whether Kuza was entangled in these troops to strengthen his own power or whether he was really prepared to die with the Russians, this did not matter to him. Jan Constantine
A little benefit. Therefore, it must be suppressed, so the arsenal must not fall into the hands of Kuza. On the contrary, if a tacit understanding is reached with the Russian army, this can be regarded as a certificate of submission, which can at least win some favor from the Russians.
Jan Constantine knew very well that Wallachia's biggest problem was that it was too far from heaven and too close to Russia. As long as Russia still stood by Wallachia's side, Wallachia wanted to completely get rid of the influence of the giant polar bear.
Totally impossible.
Therefore, even if he has the opportunity to come back and take charge of the overall situation in the future, dealing with the relationship with Russia is also an extremely important part. If the two sides hate each other, then with the physique of a polar bear, Wallachia really will not have a good life, who knows?
It's natural to be on tenterhooks.
Even if the relationship is worse and the polar bear directly takes coercive measures against Wallachia, Jan Constantine feels that he will know what the result will be now. The British and French godfathers he hopes for are unreliable, and he can only
Being hung and beaten.
In order to avoid this worst situation from happening from time to time, after this lesson, Jan Constantine felt that to survive in the cracks of a big country, you must be shameless and duplicitous.
You have to dance on several eggs at the same time, and don't put all your chips in one basket.
Therefore, the correct method is to communicate with all parties, and there may be biases, but all parties must not offend to death, and leave nothing to chance, lest there is no way out when the worst situation arises.
Naturally, it would be a good start to secretly ease the tension with the Russians and release some goodwill. At least let the Russians know that Jan Constantine is not unbridable!
Based on this level of understanding, Jan Constantine will naturally not resist Li Xiao's suggestion. Even if he burns these arms, he will never leave them to Kuza!
It's just that Jan Constantine's shamelessness exceeded Li Xiao's imagination, because the guy immediately asked in a low voice: "Mr. Diomede, isn't this enough? Do you want to do it more fully?"
The arms left in my hands are just a powder keg, why not give them to..."
There is no need to explain clearly who you want to give it to, Li Xiao knows it very well. He even admires this guy's shamelessness!
But since Jan Constantine was kind enough to put forward such a good suggestion, Li Xiao naturally couldn't live up to his kindness!
"That's great if you think so!" Li Xiao nodded approvingly, with an expression that said I'm very satisfied with your shamelessness, and then explained: "It's not appropriate for you to do this yourself. I'll let Mr. Lucien serve as an intermediary to help you make the connection.
That’s good!”
"Also, you must do it in a secretive way. It will not be good for you if these things are leaked! Also, after the incident is completed, blow up the military arsenal and destroy all the evidence to avoid leaving any future troubles!"
Jan Constantine is naturally familiar with these routines, and it is best if the French are willing to act as intermediaries. As Li Xiao said, he still cherishes his feathers.
So the matter was decided happily, and both of them were very satisfied with the result. However, Jan Constantine was a little curious. Someone said several small things. This is the first one, and what follows next
What else?
Li Xiao replied very calmly: "As for the second thing, it is even simpler. I will leave Bucharest to do some things in the near future, so if you need to discuss anything, you can go to Mr. Lucien... I
I have already explained it to him and will fully cooperate with your needs!"
Jan Constantine was stunned, because at this moment someone said he was leaving, which made him a little flustered. After all, leaving at this time was like running away! Once his masters all ran away, wouldn't his future as a slave be bleak?
?
Li Xiao could naturally see how nervous Jan Constantine was, but he really had to leave this time, so he comforted him: "My friend, you don't need to worry, I am not returning to Paris, but going to Vienna...
…”
【Vienna?】
Jan Constantine was stunned again, because he couldn't figure out why Li Xiao wanted to go to Vienna. From a relationship point of view, the French and the Austrians had never been able to get along with each other, and they had always been at odds with each other. Now the whole country in Austria is in chaos.
, the French are going to run over, this is to... slow down, the whole country in Austria is in chaos, could it be...
The smart Jan Constantine once again guessed the truth. Last time Wallachia was about to be in chaos, Li Xiao came. This time Austria was also in chaos and someone wanted to rush over. In other words, someone was in chaos somewhere.
Where are you going? This is the time to do something big, okay?
Thinking of what someone did in Wallachia, Jan Constantine first observed three seconds of silence for the Austrians, but he soon realized that there seemed to be great benefits to be gained here!
