Struggle in Russia

Alexei's mood was really not beautiful, because he felt like a waste, and he always hit a wall immediately when things came to his hands. You can see that he rushed to Ploiesti in a hurry, but before he could start his operation, he found that the Bretianu brothers suddenly quickened their pace, and settled the land acquisition within a few minutes. He probed to see if the mood of the French was stable, and it was all over.

Anyway, when he returned to Bucharest covered in dust, he was nothing but depressed. Because he feels that he can't do anything well, that he can't accomplish anything.

Such a depressed mood was naturally seen by Fontana. For this smart, well-behaved and considerate woman, she was naturally very worried and concerned.

"Count, you don't need to blame yourself. Because whatever happened in Prahova has nothing to do with you. We have no sense of existence there, and it is impossible to do anything!"

Alexei is still frustrated, because he is afraid of comparison in everything, and when he is doing nothing, Fontana has made progress in Bucharest. Balbu Shtilbey finally couldn't take it anymore, and expressed his willingness to cooperate with Fontana. This made Alexei feel that he had done more than fail, otherwise how could he have made progress as soon as he left Fontana? Does this fully show that he is holding back!

But Fontana didn't think so, she comforted: "Count, the reason why we can make progress is because of our tireless efforts before, and Barbu Shtilbey would never agree to cooperate without you ..."

"What's more, the situation in Bucharest has changed again in the past few days since you left. Brother Bretianu helped us a lot indirectly. Without their perverse actions, Barbu Shtilbey and his like would have no It is impossible to agree to cooperate!"

"What did they do again?" Alexei was curious after leaving.

When Fontana explained clearly what the brothers did, Alexei's expression was not good, because in his opinion, there was only one reason why the brothers were so insane, and that was that they had already An agreement was reached with the French, otherwise such a large amount of capital could be spent!

Alexey's judgment is: "The French are likely to completely fall to the Provisional Republic of Wallachia in the near future, and what we are most worried about is about to happen!"

Is this judgment justified? At least Fontana seems to have it, otherwise there is no way to explain the performance of the Bretianu brothers. In fact, she had similar worries before. If the French openly support Wallachia in the international community, then the grasshoppers like Barbu Shtilbey they have just won over will probably have to sit on both ends of the wall again!

"We must take action immediately!" Alexei said decisively: "Brother Bretianu and the French must not be allowed to do what they want! Their cooperation must be destroyed!"

Fontana had no objection to this either.

But there's no particularly good idea of ​​how to do her. And this also made Alexei scratch his head a little bit, because their strength is still too small, and it is a bit unqualified to openly challenge the Bredianu brothers.

"Then treat him in the same way!" Haji, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up, and he suggested murderously: "We also assassinate them, as long as we kill the pair of brothers, their cooperation will be destroyed." Naturally, it ended without a problem!"

Well, Haji has always remembered the hatred that the Bretianu brothers almost killed their siblings last time, and that was the most angry thing he had faced since the death of his father and brother. He once again felt the anger and despair of those years. Back then, he failed to take revenge with his own hands, but today he didn't want to miss the opportunity to kill his enemies again.

"This..." Alexei hesitated, but Fontana did not support it: "It's too dangerous! We have all seen how heavily guarded the brothers are, and the possibility of success is too low! And once If it fails, it is very likely that they will be crazily retaliated and counterattacked, and it will be very troublesome at that time!"

Haji reprimanded full of resentment: "Then watch them and the French get away with it?!"

Fontana still objected: "You can't act recklessly!"

Unlike the brothers and sisters, Alexei fell into deep thought. He carefully calculated the success or failure. It would be best if he could kill the Bretianu brothers. If he failed, would it be a call to counterattack? Let the pro-Russian faction in Wallachia see that Russia is not ignoring them. Will it make more fools come back?

Even if it is not successful, this is still a demonstration, which can boost morale and combat the arrogance of the Bretianu brothers. It seems good!

After thinking about it for a while, Alexei said: "I think it's feasible! Now we really need some actions to boost morale, and if it succeeds, it will definitely be a huge victory!"

But Fontana still felt that this was too hasty and reckless. She asked back: "If it fails and exposes us, then the brothers will definitely not let it go. Now it is Austria's warning that makes them dare not be presumptuous. Once the assassination fails, They will no longer have scruples and will definitely retaliate with all their strength, we will no longer be able to move as freely as today, and everything will become more difficult by then!"

Of course, Fontana's main concern is about security: "Will we then hide in the Austrian Consulate General again?"

Alexei and Haji fell silent, but men are always more impulsive. They still did not give up the assassination attempt, and still wanted to solve the problem once and for all.

This made Fontana a little helpless. After repeated persuasion to no avail, he could only suggest: "If we must assassinate those brothers, we must be fully prepared. First of all, we must fully understand their whereabouts and escort strength, and find out their schedule and how many bodyguards they have. "

"Secondly, we also need to prepare more manpower and plan a specific action plan and retreat plan. If the assassination is unsuccessful, we must retreat and hide in a safe and orderly manner. We must take into account all aspects of the situation and consequences, and make a good response Plans for various contingencies!"

"In addition, it's best to get in touch with Barbu Shtilbey and other forces that oppose the brothers, get their help, and mobilize as many forces as possible to kill them with one blow, so as not to give the brothers the opportunity to fight back Chance!"

Fontana said very seriously: "If the above points can be achieved, the assassination will be successful. If not, then one should not act hastily in a panic, and must calmly wait for the opportunity!"
