Artur's calculations were very precise, and both of the options he gave were taken advantage of. If the French foolishly start a new arms deal, then he will be happy, but at least they will have to tighten their belts.
Just pay the balance of the last transaction, but he won't give you a cent of the new transaction.
Of course, if Vishnyak was not fooled, it didn't matter to him. He could just forfeit the balance of the payment openly. The reason was that the French "breached the contract"!
The problem is that Artur is shrewd and Vishnyak is not stupid. He knew what Artur wanted to do as soon as he heard it, so how could he fall for this trick.
"Mr. Artur, you'd better think carefully about your liability for breach of contract. All the agreements we signed with your country are clearly written in black and white. If you think the French government can be fooled at will, I suggest you be more careful!"
Vishniak's toughness immediately made Artur furious. He hadn't dared to talk to him like this after the last victory, not even the French. Kossuth wanted to curry favor with the French, but Artur didn't need to curry favor with the French.
guy!
Artur asked fiercely: "Are you threatening me?"
Vishniak snorted coldly: "I'm just stating the facts."
This naturally made Artur even more unhappy. He asked grimly: "What fact! The fact is that you have taken advantage of our country, isn't it?"
This time it was Vishnyak's turn to be unhappy. He laughed and said: "We took advantage of you? Without us, you wouldn't be able to buy a single bullet. Let alone an armed army of 100,000, it would be 100,000 pigs."
Even if you can't get it together, you will have been beaten to pieces by the Austrians. Maybe you will be put in an Austrian prison by now and cry every day!"
Before Artur could speak, Vishniak sarcastically said: "You actually said sarcastic words when you got an advantage. You really mean to scold the cook when you are full, and demolish the bridge when you cross the river! No wonder the Austrians would rather fight than give you
I wouldn’t give you a second chance to negotiate!”
It should be said that Vishnyak's subsequent sarcasm was a bit excessive, but this is understandable. Who told Artur to be unauthentic in the first place? He was not authentic in the first place and did not allow Vishnyak to curse.
Of course, Vishniak has actually inflated, or put too much emphasis on money. Is that a lot of balance? If it was Vishniak one or two years ago, it would naturally be an astronomical figure. But for those who are already in
For him, who had made a lot of money in Wallachia, the money was actually small change.
Even if they really can't get this money, they won't lose a piece of meat. At most, they will be a little unhappy. To put it bluntly, Vishniak has been going too smoothly in the past year or so, and he feels a little drifting.
He was treated with courtesy and treated like a guest everywhere, what could a mere rotten egg from Hungary do to him?
Vishniak was sure that with his status, Artur would not dare to fall out with him, so he felt confident.
It's just that this Artur is really different from Kossuth. The latter is a lawyer. Although he is also a bit ruffian in politics, he will never show mercy when he should act like a gangster. However, Kossuth still values the spirit of the contract, so
He recognized the agreement that should have been made.
But Artur is different. Not to mention that he did not sign these agreements, but just because of his background, soldiers are always more gangster than talented people like Kossuth, so once he feels that Vishni
Yake didn't give him face very much, so he just said he would fall out with her.
Not to mention that now is the most glorious moment of his life. The superhero of the Battle of Budapest is also the new chairman of the National Defense Committee. To put it bluntly, he is already the number one person in Hungary.
How could he, who had just become a leader, endure Vishnyak's "eccentricity" and "cynicism"? He would have to teach someone a lesson!
As a result, Vishniak was immediately in trouble. Before he could react, Artur called the guards, arrested him and threw him directly into prison!
Well, this soldier is simple and rough, and sometimes he does things without considering the consequences. Because if Artur has any sense at this time, he will not do it. Because doing so means the relationship between him and Li Xiao is broken.
There is no more business to do and no chance of becoming friends.
In fact, Artur regretted the arrest of Vishniak on the night when Prime Minister Baujani came to him and asked him about it.
"You arrested the French? Why?"
Baojiani was also stunned, because such a coquettish operation was unheard of, okay? You can't just turn your back on your friend just because he's here to collect a debt, or even directly declare your friend to be your enemy, right?
If you do this, who will dare to be friends with you in the future? Who will even dare to cooperate with you?
Artur explained angrily: "The French are too arrogant. They don't take us seriously at all. They actually sneer at us and are almost sarcastic!"
Baojani immediately gave a bitter smile: "Then you can't arrest him! This will cause the anger of France! We have no friends in the world, and if we offend them now, wouldn't we be even more isolated!"
Artur actually knew that Baojani's words made sense, and he regretted being too impulsive, but the matter had been done, so he couldn't let him bow his head and admit his mistake! So he stiffened his neck and replied: "What's more important is that he is
We’re here to collect the debt! You also know where we still have money now? Even if we have money, we can’t get it any cheaper, aren’t they profiteers!”
Baojani was stunned. He felt that this last reason might be the real reason why Artur and Vishnyak fell out. As the saying goes, a man can be a hero with a penny, but he is really inferior when he has no money.
But, no matter how tight the money is, you can't escape the debt by settling the creditor! What's more, the real creditor is not Vishnyak, he is just a debt collector. The French Consul General Perth and the Le
Counselor Bove is still watching! It is said that Mr. Diomede has a great reputation in France, so doing this is very risky, okay?
Doesn't Artur know that the risks are very high? He knows, but he is just impulsive and angry, and he thinks that no matter how powerful Li Xiao is, it doesn't matter. This Hungary is not a French country, what can they do to him?
So he replied angrily: "Otherwise, what should I do? Should I humbly beg them for a grace period? I can't do such an undignified thing! Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I am not Kossuth, and I will not do it because of
Give up your dignity for a little money! Just leave this matter alone, just pretend you don’t know, and I will definitely make this damn French guy honest!”
