Saradov felt that his future was bleak, because his last hope was completely shattered not long ago. Arkady's flat rejection made him feel despair and felt that there was no way to survive. At that time, his only thought was - look
The only option is to abscond and seek refuge abroad.
If there was no other way, he would not be willing to take this path, because it meant that he had to give up everything, give up the reputation of the family, give up the title inherited from the times, give up the surname, and really become nothing.
And once all of this is given up, it is really not that easy to get it back, not to mention there is a key question - where can he escape to?
Although he was familiar with Austria, he definitely couldn't hide there, because Austria was an ally of Russia after all, and they must be absolutely willing to help Nicholas I catch the wanted criminal.
In the same way, Prussia cannot be chosen. After excluding these two countries, Saladov's choices are almost only Britain and France. These two countries are also the most common directions for Russian exiles to flee.
There are a large number of Russian exiles living in both Paris and London. When Saladov thinks that he will be associated with such a group of people in the future, he can't help but feel sad. Once upon a time, he himself was the old cat who caught these guys. Why?
Is he about to become a captured mouse?
Saradov doubted that once these people discovered his past, they would choose to retaliate against him. Anyway, he might not be able to help but retaliate against himself in a different place.
Of course, these are not the most critical issues. Once a person is forced into a desperate situation, he is completely willing to give up. But there is one most critical reason why Saladov does not dare to choose to go into exile abroad - he has no money!
Yes, although he made a lot of money while working as an undercover agent in Austria, he basically spent seven or eighty-eight percent of the money on various connections the last time something happened, and now he has nothing but cloth in his pocket.
Why don't you spend money in exile? At that time, there was no third film that would pay you a monthly salary, and you had to earn every copper by yourself! But he knew his own family affairs, and Saladov knew that he did not have any skills.
So why he joined the third part as a spy, isn't it just because he can't do other jobs?
As long as he has a little bit of other skills, he is too lazy to be this disgusting black dog. Wouldn't it be nice for him to have a clean meal?
For a moment, Saradov felt melancholy. He felt that he had failed too much. Now he had no way forward or backward, no way to go up or down. He listened to Oreste and stayed in Bucharest. He felt that there was little hope. But once
After leaving, he didn't know where he could go.
It can only be said that Saradov is not a kind person! Orest is really not a good person. He clearly knows that Arkady wants to make a name for himself and takes advantage of Saradov. He also knows that Arkady will still do it in the end.
Isn't it torture to give him a way out, but not tell this poor guy to know, just to persuade him to stay and wait for the opportunity, but not to give him any possibility of seeing hope?
But speaking of which, which of the dog spies in the third part is kind-hearted? Which one is not cruel and ruthless, otherwise he would not be able to do this job at all.
In addition, Saradov himself is not a good person. When he helped persecute others, he should have thought that there would be retribution.
"You have offended Colonel Yerosin and are suspected of embezzling public funds?"
When Arkady received the relevant information, he couldn't help but laugh out loud. As he expected, Saradov had a sore leg. He had committed a crime for a long time and was about to be dismissed from his post for investigation. No wonder he was willing to go to Vlach.
Asia took refuge in him.
Arkady was a little proud and a little satisfied, because Saradov's actions proved that his previous judgment was accurate - Count Vladimir is a potential stock, and whoever can catch him will have a chance to rise to the top.
.If it weren’t for his quick eyesight and quick hands, this huge opportunity would have been missed.
"He has embezzled public funds and it is said that Saladov is rebellious and disobeys orders from his superiors all year round. Do you think such a person can really be used?"
Facing his subordinates' questions, Arkady just smiled, because if the report in the third part could be fully believed, pigs would climb trees. Although he didn't have much contact with Saradov, he could roughly tell his character.
, this person may embezzle public funds, but is this very rare? In the third part, or in the huge Russian bureaucracy, how many people are not corrupt? Is it surprising that there is one more Saladov?
Besides, maybe the person who wrote this report embezzled public funds himself! Because Arkady knew Colonel Yeroshin very well. He had a character that was like a goose plucking his hair, and he had given many gifts to his superiors in order to get promoted over the years.
Money, these things can satisfy others, but they cannot be hidden from Arkady, who has been working at the St. Petersburg headquarters.
As for the rebelliousness and disobedience mentioned in the report, Arkady did not see any rebelliousness in Saradov anyway. As for whether he would obey orders, hehe, he believed in his own methods.
There are ten thousand ways to make Saradov honest!
"Let Orest bring Saradov here, it's time to let him play his role!"
With Arkady's order, Saradov's tragic time finally ended, but he didn't know that he had been tricked twice. One was tricked by Arkady, and the other was tricked by Orest.
of.
Because the latter took the opportunity of reporting the good news to him to give himself a great deal of credit, boasting about his role as if it were impossible to find in heaven or on earth, as if Saradov would not be able to do Arkady's work without him.
The drama is gone.
It can only be said that none of the black dogs in the third part is not thick-faced and shady, and Orest’s ability to make something out of nothing is also amazing. But Saradov is not a three-year-old child. In the third part
What kind of person has he not seen after so many years? He can see Orest's methods to some extent, but for the time being, he has no ability to argue with the other person, so he can only thank Orest with a shy smile.
"My request is that you become familiar with everything in Bucharest as soon as possible, and then focus on observing the situation of the Wallachian Railway Company. I want to know where the capital of this company comes from, how much money has been invested in total, and who really has the right to speak.
who!"
Arkady handed over the task with an expressionless face. In fact, he didn't have much confidence in Saradov and Orest to complete the investigation. But for the time being, he didn't have anyone else available, so he tried with these two people first.
In addition, he also asked his domestic contacts to find out about Mr. Diomede from the embassy in France.
It's just that Arkady made a small mistake. He didn't tell Saradov the name Diomede. He thought Orest would explain the situation, but Orest was really not a practical person.
He did not tell Saradov the important information...
