Li Xiao didn't know that there were so many interesting stories happening in St. Petersburg. He also heard news about the tense relations between Russia and Turkey in Bucharest. Especially after receiving Leboeuf's letter, he felt that something bad was about to happen.
Feel.
Because according to his estimation, the full-scale conflict between Russia and Turkey should break out later, because at this point in time, there are still some key figures who have not come to the center of the stage.
Take Napoleon III, for example. At this time, he had just launched a coup to amend the constitution, but he had not yet been restored and proclaimed emperor. This means that he had no urgent reason to divert domestic attention, and he should not completely fall out with Russia immediately.
He estimated that if Napoleon III really wanted to take action, he would have to proclaim himself emperor. Besides, although Nicholas I pressed Turkey step by step, he did not issue an ultimatum. If he wanted to go to war, he would have to wait until the ultimatum became invalid, right?
He estimated that he still had some time, but he did not expect Nicholas I's ambition to be so strong and sudden. He was no longer satisfied with Bulgaria's autonomy. This was really a bit hard to satisfy.
Moreover, he himself has a lot of things to be busy with, including the issue of railway construction, the issue of continuing reforms, and some vague news that he has heard that is not very good.
"You mean there are people in the market specifically asking about railway equity and French investment?"
Haji Straka's report attracted Li Xiao's attention. As the head of the local intelligence network in Bucharest created by Li Xiao, the former monitored the happenings in Bucharest.
Although Haji Straka's spies are not as famous as Duke Ordorff's third film, their identities are more secretive and they can detect more detailed information.
"Yes, there is a group of people who are inquiring about relevant information from the railway company. The situation is not clear yet, so I did not alert them!"
Li Xiao frowned. If there were only one or two people inquiring about the relevant information, then the problem would not be serious. But according to Haji Straka, there were a large number of people inquiring around, so it would be a bit tricky.
After thinking for a while, Li Xiao ordered: "You continue to keep an eye on them, especially who their superiors are, and find out who instigated them to do it. Also, be careful not to alarm them, and don't arrest them unless absolutely necessary."
people!"
Haji Straka nodded. Although he wanted to cut through the trouble quickly and deal with these miscreants, he did not dare to disobey Li Xiao's instructions because his very powerful sister repeatedly told him to be especially careful with Li Xiao's instructions.
task, because sometimes he really doesn't rub his eyes. And even though she is Alexei's lover, Alexei may not completely listen to her when it comes to Li Xiao's affairs.
Haji Straka left the Gendarmerie Headquarters and ordered the coachman to return to the Bucharest Police Department. As the deputy director of the Police Department, he had a lot of things to do, and he had to go back and tell his subordinates to be more careful.
Something went wrong.
"Diomede? Your people have been active for so long, and you only heard about such a name?"
On the other side of the city, Vladimir expressed serious dissatisfaction with the slowness and incompetence of Kristin Shtyrbey and Konstantin Chika. It took so long to get a name, and they didn’t even know it.
What is the use of whether the owner of this name is the real owner?
This made Vladimir very unhappy. He felt that the Wallachians were a bunch of useless trash who couldn't even handle the smallest things. This made him miss St. Petersburg even more.
Although he only has a count title in St. Petersburg, which is nothing in front of hundreds of princes, anyone with a little bit of information knows who his father is. Although he is unlikely to be unscrupulous, he must do something
It only takes one sentence to order anything.
And in Bucharest, he couldn't even find anyone who could help him handle things smoothly. This gap was really unacceptable to him.
At this time, his secretary Arkady suggested in a low voice: "Although these Wallachians are useless, we have no one available for the time being. It's better not to be too harsh on them, just give them a little beating."
Vladimir looked at Arkady. He paid more attention to this secretary, because this was a talent specially sent to him by his father Nicholas I. Even though he was just a little secretary, who knew whether he was
Where is the hidden imperial minister?
Anyway, Vladimir did not dare to really treat Arkady as a secretary, and had always treated him with courtesy, so he quickly said: "Since you have interceded for them, then give them a chance, tsk, just
But you can’t always have no one available, do you have any suggestions for this?”
Arkady nodded slightly, and then replied respectfully: "You are exaggerating. I have some reliable friends who have nothing to do recently. If you believe me, I can ask them to come and serve you."
Vladimir naturally agreed wholeheartedly. He felt that Arkady's friend must not be an ordinary character. Maybe he has a similar identity to him. They are all his father's spies. Of course he must get such a ruthless character.
Use it, not only use it, but also use it greatly!
He immediately replied: "Well, there are still a few key positions vacant in the Bucharest City Defense Command. The candidates you recommend must be reliable. As long as they are willing to come, they will take office immediately!"
Arkady left Vladimir's office with satisfaction. In fact, he did not have a high opinion of the illegitimate son of His Majesty the Tsar. He felt that this person had neither great ambitions nor any special talents.
Embroidered pillow-like figures.
But such a person is his favorite master, because he has an empty mind and must rely on him to make suggestions, and he has a strong background and is not afraid of trouble. The most important thing is that he is greedy enough. If Vladimir is not greedy and does not have many desires, then it will be okay.
Not very easy to control.
Arkady has already begun to imagine a bright future. For a person like him who comes from a minor aristocracy and can only work as a spy in the third film, Vladimir is the staircase to reach the top in the future!
Yes, this secretary is the secret agent in the third part. Specifically, he is the secret agent specially selected by Nicholas I to assist those illegitimate sons and secretly help him monitor key ministers. There are many such secret agents, almost every important minister.
There are more around or nearby, especially those surrounding the feudal officials.
Without the help of these eyes to watch, Nicholas I would have felt uneasy sleeping. It must be said that this czar who played with power to the extreme was really insecure!
