Struggle in Russia

Kuza was a little confused, because the changes in the situation really made him inexplicable. A few days ago, the top leaders of the National Party who were completely indifferent to the life and death of the country suddenly woke up overnight, jumping up and down like chicken blood, They kept propagating that they would fight to the death with the Russians, that they would rather die than be whole, and that they would fight until the last man shed his last drop of blood.

Those who didn't know thought these people were hard-core hardliners, but Kuza knew that these grandsons were really not! Why did it suddenly change?

Kuza was keenly aware that something was wrong, something must have happened that he didn't know about, otherwise the gang couldn't have been so active.

"I also feel something is wrong," Kogalnicianu also felt the same way, "but it's hard to say exactly what's wrong..."

Kuza sucked his teeth and said with a bit of pain: "Well, didn't you find any trouble in the Revolutionary Committee?"

Kogalniceanu had no choice but to smile wryly at this, because he was really a junior in the Revolutionary Committee, basically he didn't even have many opportunities to speak, and his relationship with the big bosses of other factions was just that. thing. So how is it possible to find out that something is wrong.

Kuza sighed. The biggest shortcoming between him and Kogalnicianu is here. After all, they are both Moldavians, not local natives of Wallachia, so their local presence is very weak. .

Kogalniceanu is pretty good, at least he can be mixed into the Revolutionary Committee, and basically no one cares about him. It is precisely because of the lack of contacts that many of their news are received slowly.

In politics, being well-informed is a great advantage, and knowing the inside information at the earliest moment has the advantage at the earliest moment. Not to mention that they were completely deceived like outsiders, and they were really bewildered and could only be beaten passively.

"Shall I ask Constantinescu?"

Kuza clicked his tongue again, not because he couldn't bear to ask Constantinescu, although the relationship between the two parties fell to the bottom all of a sudden because of the relationship between different ways and non-conspiracy. But those who engage in politics should not be too thin-skinned, they must have the consciousness to do it themselves.

What is face? Compared with the actual benefits, it's a fart!

Anyway, Kuza had this awareness, so he didn't resist going to Constantinescu to inquire about the news. What made him hesitate was that he couldn't trust Constantinescu's character. In his heart, this old friend was already the same as Jan Constantine and his ilk. If there is really any insider trading within the National Party, with this personality, he would never tell him the truth, even if he asked him, it would be useless.

But after thinking about it again,

Who let them have no connections? Even if he knew Constantinescu wouldn't tell the truth, he had to find out, or at least try.

"My friend, why are you here suddenly? Welcome!"

Constantinescu is also an old fox who has practiced in the mountains for many years, so it is impossible for him to have an elephant on his face. Although he had an unpleasant fight with Kuza, his face is still like a spring breeze.

How else can it be said that there is no city government in the mixed political arena? Everything is on the face, one is easy to offend people, and the other is too easy to be seen through. These are taboos in the political arena. It must be even if you hate someone so much that your teeth itch, but you have to be more affectionate than entertaining your brothers when you meet. As for whether you will use black hands to make things worse afterwards, that is another matter.

Kuza was also calm, and replied with a smile: "Isn't the recent revolutionary situation very good, I am here to report the situation of the army to you, and I need your guidance!"

The two continued to be polite with smiles, both guessing the other's real intention. Constantinescu, in particular, paid special attention to Kuza's sudden visit, because the situation on his side was still half-dead. Although Jan Constantine did not reject him, he did not promise him anything. Cooperation is a bit of a formality.

But now that the situation is getting more and more tense every day, Constantinescu is actually eager to open up the situation, at least hoping to strengthen his own strength. After all, how to divide the spoils in the food-for-arms trade depends entirely on strength. Can eat more.

But Constantinescu also knew that Kuza was not of the same mind with them, so he didn't dare to say it clearly, and planned to see Kuza's reason for coming first and then speak.

"I don't know much about military work, and I'm afraid I can't give you any guidance. You're an expert in this area. How's your army doing, by the way?"

Kuza also remained calm, and replied solemnly: "The situation is good, but as the general public joins the army enthusiastically, the shortage of weapons and ammunition is getting worse... By the way, I just wanted to ask when will the weapons and ammunition obtained by the food-for-arms plan be available?" How about sending it down?"

Constantinescu immediately knew the real purpose of Kuza, who was here to find out the truth about the food-for-arms program. Regarding this plan, he actually has only a half-knowledge. After all, it is impossible for a fringe faction in the top ranks of the National Party like him to know too much inside information.

But Constantinescu knows that the essence of this plan is never to buy arms. He feels that this plan is more like a way to realize the last property of Wallachia. It should be the last money-making carnival of the National Party. meeting.

So he knows whether food can really be turned into arms, but Kuza still thinks about dividing arms, isn't this naive and wishful thinking.

I laughed at Kuza in my heart, but Constantinescu replied calmly on the face: "The specific plan is still being perfected, and the distribution of arms is also under discussion, but Mr. Jan Constantine The opinion of the others is to arm the militia as much as possible, so that more Wallachians can stand up and defend their country!"

Kuza was puzzled, and couldn't figure it out more and more. How could Constantine be so kind and actually prepare to arm the militia? why is that?

Constantinescu said with a smile: "This is a last resort. After all, the situation is grim. To repel the Russian aggression, we must have a strong military force. The existing National Guard alone is not enough..."

Kuza still didn't really believe it, but Constantinescu didn't plan to talk about this issue in depth, but changed the subject: "Now both the Revolutionary Committee and our party have fully reached a consensus that we must be armed to resist Russia's attack. Aggression, so the previous differences between us have disappeared, my friend, the obstacles that prevented us from moving forward together are no longer there, can we talk about continuing to cooperate?"
