Chapter 269: Negotiation Leaked (I)
The August Revolution led by Bushlevik not only changed the country and the world, but also changed all kinds of people.
The people who felt the most in Romania could only be the people in the Russian embassy in Romania, and the first and second people in the embassy reacted most violently to this. Ambassador Ferralovsky and Counsellor Andean Danton suffered the most, as the current chaos in Russia made it impossible for them to continue their diplomatic work. In fact, after the August Revolution, St. Petersburg did not send an embassy a mission.
"Now that St. Petersburg does not give funds, what should we do?"
In Ambassador Ferralowski's office, Counsellor Andise Danton was irritating to express his displeasure to the ambassador.
"Don't be too anxious Danton, just wait for a while, we have to trust St. Petersburg, they will take care of us." Ambassador Ferralowski took a sip of his glass and persuaded Andy Danton.
"Before, hasn't it?"
It's okay not to mention it, but when it was mentioned, Andy Danton said loudly. "After the coup d'état in January, the new government only remembered to pay for our embassy in March, and only half of it was disbursed, and it did not make up for us at all in the previous two months, and if it had not borrowed a little money from the British and French embassies, we would have to wait to beg in the streets. Until now, our embassy has not repaid the money, and now we have to wait, who do we borrow money to maintain the operation of the embassy this time? ”
Looking at Mr. Danton, who was excited, Ambassador Ferralowski took another sip of wine. In fact, he knew why the Counsellor was so excited, and he had two or three lovers in Bucharester East, and his life was not at all stressful. Moreover, many of the staff in the embassy cost the same as the counselor, so he can understand the complaints of Andise Danton. Understanding is understanding, but he doesn't have a solution, and now the embassy operating costs are what he is worried about.
As an embassy of a great power, it is impossible to stop operating because of lack of funds, and this will be difficult for Ambassador Ferarowski to talk about. So he was struggling with the embassy's funds, and he could only appease the counselor first.
"Your Excellency Danton, at present, you also know the situation of the embassy, and if St. Petersburg does not issue funds, we can only do it ourselves."
"Or do you want to borrow it from the British and French ambassadors?"
Faced with Andy Danton's question, Ferarowski shook his head and said. "It's impossible to borrow money from them, especially after the government's attitude has changed, and now we need to find a way to find a way from somewhere else."
"What's the solution?"
Looking at his own counsellor, who is not very good at brains, Ambassador Ferralowski just continued. "Do you have a way to borrow money in Bucharest?"
It turned out that Ambassador Feralovsky was going to borrow a sum of money to turn around first.
Andiz Danton asked curiously. "How much do you need to borrow?"
"A million lei will do."
Andiz Danton: "So what mortgage do we use?" ”
"What about the vehicles and office supplies used by the embassy?"
Seeing that Ambassador Ferarowski was not familiar with the borrowing business, Andez Danton popularized science. "Your Excellency, what you said is not worth half a million lei, and it is impossible for anyone to lend it to us. Unless something else is added. ”
"You mean?"
Andiz Danton's mind was thinking about where there were still valuable things in the embassy. It is impossible to mortgage the embassy area, which was purchased and built by the Russian government, and is registered with the governments of St. Petersburg and Romania. There was nothing else of value in the embassy, and suddenly it occurred to him that there were still items in the embassy that could be pledged.
"The building behind our embassy for accommodation was built with funds from the previous ambassador, and it is unlikely that St. Petersburg knew about it. We could have simply converted it into a hotel and mortgaged it, believing that we could borrow a million lei. ”
Ambassador Ferrarowski's eyes lit up with the words of Andise Danton. He knew more about the dormitory building in the back than Andiz Danton, and he could have done it according to this plan. Ambassador Ferarowski, who was much more relaxed in his heart, pulled Andy Danton to speak. "Dandong, your attention is very good, and it has alleviated the financial shortage of our embassy."
Ambassador Ferralowski poured a glass of wine and handed it to Andy Danton, and the two clinked glasses and drank it down. "I didn't expect Andy Danton to be very talented in these things, and this is a great help to me."
In the face of praise, Andy Danton said politely. "Your Excellency the Ambassador doesn't need to be so polite, I can help you in these places."
Then the two began to chat over wine, and Ambassador Ferralowski and Counselor Andezi Danton chatted all over the world. It wasn't until the British and French ambassadors to Romania were talking about that Ambassador Ferralowski, who had drunk a lot, scolded and scolded. "Richardman and Jean Bard, two guys, completely disregard our alliance and our friendship, these few negotiations with Romania do not call me."
Faced with the word 'negotiation' coming out of Ambassador Ferralowski's mouth, Andace Danton's attention immediately increased, and he said sideways. "This is really wrong, no matter how much Russia sacrificed for the war, we should not be excluded."
"Yes, when we negotiated with Romania before, we were three of them. After the first coup d'état in St. Petersburg, they began to distance themselves from me, and the second coup d'état stopped calling me. Moreover, Romania has unreasonable demands on the predetermined areas of our country, and they actually have to consider ......"
While Andae Danton was listening intently, Ambassador Ferralowski fell asleep as he spoke. Looking at Ambassador Ferralowski, who was halfway through his words, Andae Danton had no choice but to give up the questioning even though he was tormented in his heart. However, he remembered that after being dragged into the water by the German counselor, his first request was to probe the negotiations between Romania and the Entente.
The next day, Andiz Danton was in the Roma Club and told the German Counsellor Masno, the information he had just obtained.
After listening to the report of Andise Danton, Counselor Masno attached great importance to it. He opened the drawer and took out a stack of banknotes about twenty or thirty thousand lei, handed it to Andy Danton. "It's better to find out about Andiz Danton, and we'll all be much better."
Andiz Danton skillfully took the banknote and nodded. "I'll do my best."
"This time we can't do our best, we must find out."
Counselor Masno knew that Andean Danton had to be rewarded this time, this guy was only looking at money now, and this time the job had to be done with his hard work. "As long as the investigation is clear this time, we have prepared 250,000 US dollars for you, and we can also send you out of Europe."
Counselor Masno's revelation of the numbers made Andiz Danton swallow, and he said as if he had made up his mind after thinking about it. "I did it, but I wanted $300,000."
Counselor Masno thought about it. "Yes, but we need to get this information within a month."
"No problem."
After sending off Andí Danton, Counsellor Masno was also secretly saddened by the fact that this was the most likely way for them to obtain information about the negotiations between Romania and the Entente. For many months, they did not know the details of the negotiations between Romania and the Entente. It is just known that they are negotiating, but what to talk about will need to be figured out from the Russian side.
