Perth's mood immediately improved a lot. If he could really build bridges to help the Hungarians increase their strength, it would be a great achievement. When domestic political opponents criticized him again, he would be able to defend himself.
Although it is not a complete comeback and reversal of the situation, at least it is not just a beating without being able to fight back.
Immediately, Perth was at least twice as pleased with Li Xiao. No one disliked anyone who could solve problems. However, Perth was a little too happy because Li Xiao had more surprises for him than this.
Li Xiao glanced at LeBoeuf again, winked, and then left the scene temporarily on the excuse of going to the bathroom. As soon as Li Xiao left, LeBoeuf said to Perth with a smile:
"Count, Mr. Diomede is a very emotional person. Although he personally came to help the Hungarian revolutionaries out of admiration for their struggle for freedom, he felt that he could not keep his compatriots busy in vain, so
If these aid projects are successful, you will receive a 5% reward, and another 5% will be awarded to your colleagues who contributed to the success!”
Perth took a deep breath when he heard this. This is the legendary kickback, and don't underestimate this 5%. Tens of thousands of rifles is a big business. This alone is enough for him to make a lot of money. In addition,
Don't forget about the artillery. If this deal is really completed, not only will he be able to live out his old age in peace, but at least he will not be able to leave Hungary in despair.
Moreover, LeBoeuf has something to say later: "In addition, this is just an appetizer. There will be a bigger business later that requires your cooperation. As long as it can succeed, Mr. Diomede will never treat you badly!"
Perth was naturally overjoyed. The God of Wealth is always popular these days, not to mention that what the God of Wealth wants to do is actually good for him, so they naturally hit it off. Of course, he is more satisfied with the other party's attitude, not the other party's attitude.
To be honest, a nobleman like him can waste money but never lose his dignity. He is very satisfied with his dignity now!
"Very good!" Poston beamed with joy and spared no effort in praising: "Our country just needs more young talents like Mr. Diomede. I believe our cooperation will be very pleasant!"
Naturally, Leboeuf also praised Perth repeatedly, and then said: "Then it's settled, please contact the Hungarian side on your behalf, and then we can take the next step as soon as possible..."
In fact, he would have done this immediately without Lebouf Tippers. He even felt that the other party did not contact the Hungarian side directly to give him face as the consul general, because in his opinion, as long as Li Xiao came to the door with weapons and equipment without him making an introduction,
Hungary will also treat him as a guest!
But the other party did not bypass him in this regard. He was very particular about methods in doing things, which made Perth very comfortable, and also made him increasingly feel that the other party's identity was not simple, and he should be the illegitimate son of a certain noble noble.
Well, poor Li Xiao has been recognized as an illegitimate child by Perth, but it is not depressing for Li Xiao. Anyway, he came from time and space. Whatever you think, as long as it does not affect his actual interests, it will be fine.
Not to mention the excitement of contacting the Hungarian Revolutionary Party in Perth, Li Xiao and Leboeuf were not idle either. They wrote to Jan. After Constantine reminded him again that he must pay attention to the arsenal and prepare the arsenal,
Told him to do a good job of cleaning up the road.
After all, Wallachia is not an ordinary chaos. The prestige of the provisional government has disappeared in many areas. It is not an easy task to safely transport such a large amount of arms to Hungary.
Of course, Li Xiao also believes that under the stimulation of money, Constantine will definitely do his best, after all, no one can struggle with money.
Just two days passed, but there was still no news at all from Perth. This made Leboeuf a little bit unable to sit still, because the Hungarians shouldn't be so indifferent? They are sending arms and selling arms.
Don’t you care about big business? If you just care about it, then it’s a fart revolution!
Leboeuf couldn't help but vomited: "With this kind of efficiency, there is no need for a revolution. When we were in Paris, we worked day and night under the stars. How could we be so slow-moving as the Hungarians..."
Li Xiao just smiled after hearing this, because the French back then were indeed passionate and full of motivation, but that was back then. As for now, laziness has become synonymous with the French. Maybe they are just a little more active than spaghetti.
Leboeuf walked around the room twice and raised another possibility: "Maybe this guy from Perth is unreliable and has poor ability to do things!"
Li Xiao remained silent, because it was LeBoeuf who said that Perth was good before, and now he is still the one who complained about his incompetence. This uncle has finished speaking all by himself, what else can he say?
So what went wrong? Is there really a problem with Perth's capabilities?
This really wronged the French, because he really went all out, but the situation had an unexpected change. As the leader of the Hungarian revolutionary government, Kossuth was not in Pest at this time, and such a big deal could be finalized.
It's only Kossuth. He's not at home. What can you do?
In fact, Perth was even more anxious than LeBoeuf. He had to go to the revolutionary government headquarters at least twice a day, just to see Kossuth as soon as possible and finalize the deal quickly, because time was really tight!
The old saying is absolutely true, haste makes waste. The more anxious Perth is to go fast, the faster he will be unable to get up. Because Kossuth went to Szekesfeherr and Veszprem to inspect the nationals
military.
Both cities are located southwest of Pest. Székesfehérvár is about 60 kilometers away from Pest. It was the former capital of the Kingdom of Hungary and has the tombs of many ancient Hungarian kings. As for Veszprém, it is further away, not far away.
Pest is about 100 kilometers away. Both cities are important transportation hubs from Hungary to Croatia, and their strategic significance is relatively large.
As for the main purpose of Kossuth's trip is to reorganize and recruit more national troops, Jelačić's Croatian Army had previously embarrassed the Hungarians, and the Serbs in the south were also incited by Jelačić to oppose the Hungarian revolution.
government.
Therefore, Kossuth is preparing to reorganize his army in the south. It is best to go south again, because he has heard that Jelacic has left Croatia with the main force. If Jelacic's lair can be destroyed in one fell swoop, the situation in the south can be changed.
The situation has changed from passive to active.
It's just that this will cause trouble for Perth. I guess this guy will make more trips recently...
