Struggle in Russia

Deputy Chief of Staff of the Bucharest National Guard. This title is very long, and it's also the chief of staff, which sounds a little bratty. But in fact, this position is really just an empty shelf. In Bucharest or the National Self-Defense Forces under the Government of the Provisional Republic, the chief of staff is everywhere, and even the commander of a certain army is as numerous as dogs.

Anyone with a few hundred men and guns can go to the Provisional Government to register as a brigade commander of a brigade of the National Self-Defense Forces. Those who are more powerful have a thousand people, and they can be division commanders or army commanders. Anyway, there are many numbers, but the actual strength is very limited, and the loyalty to the Provisional Republic is also very problematic.

The so-called Bucharest National Guard was probably the only armed force that the Provisional Republic could really control. But the number of this army is not too many, only tens of thousands, but the composition is equally complicated.

The armed forces with the remnants of the former Principality of Wallachia surrendered to the Provisional Republic from Bibescu after the coup. This group of people is considered the most formal and the best equipped, but because they are former puppet troops who have surrendered, the government of the Provisional Republic doesn't trust them very much, and they don't trust the government of the Provisional Republic too much. Anyway, both sides are wary of each other.

In addition, the ones who really obey the government of the Provisional Republic are the rebel army mainly composed of Bucharest citizens who raised the anti-flag in the last coup. The loyalty of this group of people is definitely not a problem, but the weapons and equipment are mixed, and the military quality is a bit worrying. The only thing that can satisfy people is fighting spirit and morale.

However, the biggest problem with this group of people is not the issue of weapons and equipment and military quality, because they are all called to gather by the leaders they support, so they are basically only responsible to the leaders of their own faction.

To put it simply, the National Party only listens to the National Party when it convenes, the Liberal Party only listens to the Liberal Party when it convenes, and the men of the reformists only listen to the reformists. That is to say, although everyone has the name of a National Self-Defense Force and nominally obeys the government of the Provisional Republic, in fact they are still fighting on their own.

This kind of hilltopism is very bad, and it greatly disperses the strength of the Wallachian National Self-Defense Forces, which is not considered strong. And because of the different political opinions among the various factions, a lot of energy is spent on fighting differences between the same parties. It's hard to say whether there will be cases of political disagreement and death on the battlefield.

Therefore, the problem of the National Guard is quite big. To be an officer in the National Guard really depends on the faction. For example, National Party members like Kuza, it is better to be an officer in the National Party. If you go to the Liberal Party and the Reform Party If he goes to the army, he is really a bare-bones commander, no one at all, that is, a title, and he doesn't even get a military salary, because the Liberals and Reformists will definitely not pay their political opponents, the Nationalists.

Constantinescu also saw that Kuza's mood was not particularly high, so he specially introduced: "I won't let you go to our enemy, you must be one of our own, and you must have room to display your talents, no! "

All right,

National's private plot is a little better for Kuza, but not by much. Because the National Guard of the National Party also has to look at the top of the mountain, some are loyal to the radicals, some are loyal to the conservatives, and some are loyal to the independent liberals.

But what makes Kuza very sad is that no matter which faction he is loyal to, it has nothing to do with him, because what he and Constantinescu belong to the National Party's small power alliance is the most heartwarming thing is that there is no support from the army.

Who made them less powerful, who made them not as rich and powerful as the Bretianu family and the Cataljiu family! They really don't have a few guns under the hands of these small faction alliances, otherwise he would be too full to suggest to Jan Constantine to strengthen his armaments, and it would be great to go directly to the troops that support his faction to start training.

Therefore, even on his own side, it is more difficult for Kuza to start a career. But it's better than nothing, Kuza agreed after thinking about it. But his mood was beyond words.

"I believe you can do it! And don't you have a good friend, Mikhail, to help you! You must be able to make a career out of it!"

After returning to his bedroom, Kuza got some comfort. His younger sister Elena Maria Katarjo-Obrenovicz made Kuza's heart a little cold with her fiery body and sweet kisses. Warm up again.

To be honest, in these dark days, Kuza survived thanks to Elena. Without this woman, he would be extremely depressed and devastated. He thinks Elena is his angel.

It's just that Kuza met this angel a bit late. Kuza got married four years ago, and his married wife is still looking forward to him in her hometown. Sometimes Kuza wondered why he had such a relationship with a woman named Elena. His wife was named Elena, and his lover was also named Elena. Did God want him to be captured by Elena?

Kuza sighed and said: "I never doubted my ability, nor did I doubt the future of the revolution in Wallachia and Moldavia. But how much help a friend like Mikhail can give me, I express Profound doubts!"

Katarju-Obrenovitz expressed her shock with big beautiful eyes, and she asked in disbelief: "You suspect Mikhail? Didn't he help you get a job?"

Kuza nodded and said: "That position is not very interesting. Those who have no real power can't do much. Mikhail is just fooling me!"

Katarju-Obrenovicz covered his lips with his hands in surprise, and asked with wide eyes, "No way? I think he is quite sincere!"

Kuza smiled and said: "That's because you don't fully understand him. If you really understand him, you know that he is the most typical smart person who will only do things that are beneficial to you..."

"The suggestions I'm making now are definitely not liked by radicals and conservatives, so he will definitely not do his best to promote and persuade... At most, he will be a little bit interested, then stop immediately, and finally use A little profit to comfort and dismiss me!"

Katargiu-Obrenovicz was so surprised that she couldn't speak. She couldn't imagine that Kuza and Constantinescu's superficial duo was hiding so many things, not men's. Is friendship pure?

"That's with friends who are really like-minded!" Kuza hugged Katarju-Obrenovitz and kissed him fiercely, "But obviously, Mikhail and I are not really like-minded friends. It’s probably what everyone needs!”
