Struggle in Russia

Chapter 118 Prudence

Jan Constantine glanced at Constantinescu even more, and felt that what the other party said was too correct.

What is the reason why Wallachia has not received assistance from Britain and France? Is it because he, Jan Constantine, doesn't work hard and has a bad attitude?

That's not the case at all! It is because there is nothing in Wallachia that can please the favor of Britain and France, can't they come up with tributes that satisfy the fathers of England and France!

In short, the betrayal of the country is not thorough enough. You said that if a treaty was signed to give British and French fathers super-national treatment and let them enjoy a good life like the emperor in Wallachia, would they still be so cold and silent!

That will never happen!

In the final analysis, the provisional government was too stingy and refused to put down its figure and dignity to please the British and French fathers, which caused the diplomatic career to be in trouble. It is also very simple to solve, just let the fathers be completely satisfied.

"So I think it's meaningless for you to continue working as an international friend at this stage. Even if you talk too much, you can't impress them out of thin air." Constantinescu immediately gave a good idea: "You should Turn to the work of the interim government and let them give better conditions to impress foreign friends, only in this way can your work continue smoothly."

Jan Constantine sighed and said: "You are quite right. The problem is that it is difficult for the provisional government to offer better conditions. You also know that we have just exiled the Russian puppets headed by Bibescu. I hope that the country can handle relevant affairs independently and freely...We cannot become more incompetent than the previous government, let alone curry favor with British and French friends too blatantly!"

Constantinescu smiled and said: "Of course I understand your concerns, but I don't think this is a problem at all. The people don't understand the difficulties we face and the great danger we face. As long as we treat foreign countries People who are a little bit better think that we are selling out national interests, which is quite one-sided and narrow perception!"

"What is especially frightening is that we currently have no way to correct this one-sided and narrow perception. Therefore, I think that for similar critical and major issues, there is no need to tell the public that their simple minds and lack of experience are not enough Deal with these complex issues. These issues can only be handled and solved by elites, and the masses just need to trust their chosen elites!"

Hearing this, Jan Constantine smiled. He liked this argument, and thought that things should be like this. What do mud-legged people who can't read a whole bunch of words and can't find the location of Wallachia on the map know how to govern the country? What diplomacy do you know?

Professional matters must be entrusted to professional people, and it is enough for the public to obey the leadership. They will not understand important national affairs if they are told, and misunderstandings will easily occur, so why bother?

certainly,

This kind of formulation is very good, but Jan Constantine also knows that it can really do this, but he really can't say it so openly.

Constantinescu replied of course: "There is no need to talk about it. It is only necessary to form a tacit understanding and consensus between the Provisional Government and the Revolutionary Committee. Therefore, I suggest that you do more work on the Provisional Government and the Revolutionary Committee. Reach a consensus on the Internet, and then things will be done!"

Jan Constantine just smiled and said nothing, because it is easy to say but difficult to do. It is not difficult to reach a consensus. The difficult thing is who is responsible for it. Because in the end someone has to take this responsibility, and the person who advocates and takes responsibility must be unlikable and easy to be criticized, anyway, he will not take the blame!

[Old fox! 】

Constantinescu naturally knew what Jan Constantine was thinking, because he didn't want to take the blame. Of course, if Jan Constantine agreed foolishly, he would just applaud and cheer for him. Because that means that Jan Constantine will definitely have no political future in the future. Wouldn't he be good without an opponent!

It's just that Jan Constantine wasn't fooled, so he suggested again: "You can give conservatives some advice! I believe they will especially like this suggestion, and they will be very happy to promote and realize this suggestion."

[It's so insidious! 】

Jan Constantine silently made a note in his heart, reminding himself that he must be especially careful about this guy named Mikhail Constantinescu in the future, it's too bad! Because Barbu Katarju and his gang will definitely be fooled. They are conservative guys who fear the common people of Wallachia more than the Russians.

How to prevent the common people from rising up and attacking their land is what they care most about. Now tell them that they can think of ways to limit the power of ordinary people to participate in and discuss state affairs, so they still don't cheer and take active actions.

But Jan Konstantin is also happy to see these idiots get into the pit. Of course, this pit has to be dug a little more cleverly and concealed. After all, those misers are not really stupid, he has to design it well!

"Listening to your words is better than reading ten years of books!" Jan Constantine praised Constantinescu, and then asked earnestly: "What you just said is the first suggestion, so what is the second suggestion? Woolen cloth?"

Constantinescu smiled slightly: "The second suggestion is actually very simple. Foreign friends are indeed very important to us and have a pivotal position. But at the same time, we must also prepare ourselves to deal with Russian armed intervention!"

Jan Constantine frowned. He knew what Constantinescu wanted to say, and it was nothing more than strengthening the military to prepare for war. But he really didn't like this, because it was very troublesome and had many problems.

For example, military construction costs money, or very expensive. This is a giant gold-swallowing beast! How much money does Wallachia have now to arm an army sufficient to deal with Russian armed intervention?

Besides, the money should not be paid by those in power, the mud legs who can't squeeze out a little oil and water have a fart money. But if you really want to pay this money, who is willing?

Look at the National Guard that has been hastily put together now, how much combat power can these scumbags have? Anyway, Jan Constantine didn't believe that these scumbags could protect Wallachia.

Isn't it stupid to spend so much money to arm a group of mobs! Besides, Jan Constantine is still very sensitive to the army. Who doesn't know that with a gun, he is the grass head king! These days, only the barrel of a gun can speak hard. What if the armed Qiu Ba who were bewitched by the French Revolution didn't obey orders, and even turned their heads to threaten the Provisional Government and their elites?

Jan Constantine didn't want to foolishly create enemies for himself, so he would rather rely on foreign fathers. After all, even if foreign fathers want to rule Wallachia, they still need them as puppets! And Qiu Ba and the others really beat the Russians away, so they can't be praised to the sky. At that time, they will either be the father of the nation or the savior. Napoleon's lessons from the past are still there, and their eyes are not blind!
