Chapter four hundred and eighty fourth guest of honor
Because of Li Xiao's "magnanimity", the talks could naturally continue in a cordial and friendly atmosphere.
Li Xiao's answer was: "As long as you guarantee that you can pay according to the contract, the weapons and ammunition can be safely delivered to your hands..."
This answer was both expected by Kossuth, but also unexpected. He knew very well that capitalists wanted to eat people, and if they were not satisfied with the money issue, they would naturally not be able to get the goods.
In this regard, Kossuth is not particularly nervous, because the parliament's requirements for him are still quite generous, especially the reasonable requirements for military expansion and war preparations. Even if the parliament tightens its belt, it can still come up with money, but the amount may not be completely sufficient.
, but I will definitely give it.
For him, as long as he has weapons and ammunition, less is better than nothing, right? What's more, Li Xiao actually said that the weapons and ammunition can be delivered to them safely, and there is no need to worry about transportation. When the time comes, they will go to Transy.
Just pick up the goods at the Vanya border.
To be honest, this really surprised Kossuth, because in his understanding, transportation is a big problem. Ever since Hungary rejected the autonomy requests of ethnic minorities such as Croatia and Serbia, everyone has completely turned against each other and gone to war.
The Wallachians in Transylvania are also among them. Of course, Kossuth feels that even if Hungary agrees to Wallachia’s request for autonomy in Transylvania, these guys will not turn to Hungary.
, because the Wallachians have completely offended Russia, how can they dare to offend Austria at the same time!
So when Li Xiao said that the passage to Transylvania had been opened and arms could be safely transported to Hungary, Kossuth was so surprised, because this was simply an impossible task, okay!
At this time, it was Perth's turn to help Li Xiao brag: "Mr. Diomede has a very good relationship with the Provisional Government of Wallachia. As long as it is Mr. Diomede's request, no matter how difficult it is, Wallachia will
People are also happy to be satisfied!”
This news immediately made Kossuth very interested. He had some knowledge of the affairs in Wallachia and knew that the provisional government of Wallachia was in danger. However, even so, the provisional government was still popular among the people of Wallachia.
Prestige, and someone can actually make the provisional government buy into it, that's really a lot of energy!
If this powerful man can be used to promote reconciliation between Transylvania and Hungary, even a temporary truce can alleviate Hungary's terrible situation of being attacked from both sides. It seems that he can strengthen cooperation with Mr. Diomede!
Speaking of this, some friends may be confused. Wallachia, Moldavia, and Bessarabia are already annoying enough, but why is Transylvania popping up now?
In fact, it’s very simple. These countries were closely related to the Romanians. To put it simply, the Romanian territory was still a fragmented patchwork in 1848. Bessarabia was absorbed by Russia after the Eighth Russo-Turkish War.
Among them, Transylvania has always been under the control of Hungary or Habsburg Austria. Moldavia and Wallachia are nominally autonomous grand duchies belonging to Turkey.
But, when the revolution broke out in 1848, Wallachia and Moldavia rebelled, and Russia was forced to suppress it. And because Transylvania belonged to Hungary, which was controlled by Austria, it also wanted autonomy from the Hungarians.
power, and then no agreement was reached, so they had nothing to do with Hungary, so they continued to work with Austria to oppose the Hungarian revolution.
Later, after World War I, the leaders of the Allied Powers, Britain and France, in order to recognize Romania's contribution and to dismember the Austro-Hungarian Empire, they forcibly dismembered Transylvania from the Hungarian territory and awarded it to Romania.
Of course, these are all things for later, let’s not mention them for now. Let’s just say that now, Kossuth is very angry with the uncooperative Transylvania. Obviously everyone is a revolutionary and a vulnerable group who opposes oppression. You guys
The compatriots who helped us caused great troubles in Wallachia and Moldavia, but then turned around and cursed our Hungarian revolutionary actions against Austria. This is not appropriate!
However, due to the encirclement situation of Austria and Russia, as well as Croatia and Serbia in the south, Kossuth really has no energy to deal with the weak Transylvania in the east. Before, it could only stare at it with no choice.
And now Li Xiao's arrival gave him hope. Not to mention asking someone to deal with the rebellious Transylvania, which was unrealistic, but it was okay to let them stop temporarily and open the door by the way, right?
Naturally, Li Xiao's value in the eyes of Kossuth has been greatly improved. He has jumped from a foreign profiteer to a friend of foreign profiteers, so he suddenly became more enthusiastic.
Li Xiao doesn't have any opinion on this. Anyway, he knows the Wallachians very well. Even though the Principality of Transylvania is very loud, these guys are actually also tough-tempered, which means they have loud voices.
That's all, it's really impossible to let them die with the Hungarians.
What's more, relying on his friendly relationship with Jan Constantine, Li Xiao can actually speak in Transylvania. It is completely possible for these cowards to turn a blind eye.
.
Naturally, Li Xiao also took a positive stance, expressing his willingness to be a bridge of communication between Hungary and Transylvania and his willingness to do his best to promote reconciliation between the two parties.
Naturally, this made the guest of honor even more happy. Kossuth was so happy that he even stayed with Li Xiao and Perth to have dinner together for the first time. They chatted until late at night. If it weren't for him, he would still have to deploy the vagina Jani.
, no, it is to deploy revolutionary strategies, Na Zhenzhen may talk all night long.
This trip was a good start for Li Xiao. He really connected with Kossuth. Next, he only needed to exert his influence in a subtle way. Of course, Li Xiao was not particularly proud, because he also saw
When he came out, Kossuth was a very conceited and persistent man. He would not be easily domesticated like brother Jan Constantine. It was almost an impossible task to make him obedient.
Fortunately, Li Xiao doesn't need Kossuth to be completely obedient. He only needs the other party to listen to some of his opinions, such as asking Joseph Behm to come out, or asking the Hungarian Parliament to pay more quickly.
Of course, Li Xiao knew that this had to be done step by step. The most important thing now was to let Kossuth see his ability and sincerity. The first thing to do was to send the two thousand donated rifles to Hungary. Only if he did this well
, things will fall into place later!
But he immediately received bad news: "What? Kuza came out to cause trouble?"
