Ambassador Baslob also knew the Andizi Danton mentioned by Counselor Masno, and had met several times at diplomatic evening parties. However, because they were on opposite sides, they had not talked. They only knew this Andizi Danton.
Mr. Dizzi Danton was sent to Romania last autumn to replace the old counselor who was in poor health.
"Is this candidate feasible?"
Of course, Ambassador Baslob knew the status of the counselor in the embassy. He was the second-largest person in the embassy under the ambassador. So he felt a little incredible about the candidate proposed by Counselor Masnot, so he confirmed it again.
"We have carefully learned about Mr. Andizi Danton, and we found that his reputation in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in St. Petersburg is not very good. He likes to linger in the land of fireworks. However, because he embraced Rasputin's influence, he was
Appointed as counselor of the Russian Embassy in Romania. And from the gossip we know, the wife of Mr. Andizi Danton seems to have had an affair with Rasputin."
Baslob was no stranger to Rasputin, the favored minister of the Russian court, even if he stayed in Romania. The experience of this magician from Siberia was simply more exciting than the protagonist in the novel.
He was born in a farming family in Siberia, Russia. His father was fond of gambling in his early years. As early as his teenage years, Rasputin himself became a "problem boy" in the eyes of his fellow villagers. He drank heavily, made troubles, and was a thieves. "Rasputin"
It was a nickname given to him by everyone, which means: lewd and dissolute. Later, everyone gradually forgot his original name.
When Rasputin was in his 30s, he met some Orthodox pagans who believed that the only way to reach God was to commit crime. This opened the door to a new world for this troubled teenager, and he began his career as a magician.
Spreading prophecies and performing miraculous healing are unique skills.
Later, he predicted the March drought somewhere in Russia and cured the dog of Nicholas II's uncle, Grand Duke Nicholas, which made him famous. Rasputin used the knowledge he learned from someone unknown.
Divination and spells easily won over a group of nobles and became popular in the entire upper class society.
The Russian Emperor at that time was Nicholas II, and Queen Alexandra believed in mysticism and liked to entertain "divine monks", "holy boys", "prophets", "seers", "saviors" and the like.
So this troubled boy succeeded in taking the throne. Later, Rasputin miraculously stopped the bleeding of Nicholas II's hemophiliac son Alexei, which made the emperor and his wife "worship" him. Rasputin
At that time, Russia began to "walk sideways."
The daily life of Rasputin can only be described in two words - lustful, and he often practiced "spirituality" with many women. It is said that he slept with all the aristocratic girls and ladies in Russia at that time.
Therefore, if Andizi Danton can appeal to Rasputin, his private life will definitely be exciting. The candidate proposed by Counselor Masnow seems to have no problem with Ambassador Baslob.
"Go and prepare. I will prepare 40,000... no, 60,000 lei for you. We must find a way to bring it down."
After Ambassador Baslob considered it carefully, he asked Counselor Masno to drag Mr. Andizi Danton into trouble. For Ambassador Baslob, even if he could not find out the content of the talks between Romania and the Allies, he could bribe a person.
A counselor in the enemy's embassy is definitely a good deal, because not much of Russia's foreign policy can be concealed at the counselor level.
After giving instructions to Counselor Masnow, Ambassador Baslob was ready to go out. Now he needs to solve the task assigned to him by Berlin first and find a way to obtain the drawings of Romanian tracked combat vehicles. Of course, if Romania can provide the physical objects, then
That would be the best. But Ambassador Baslob thinks this is unlikely, unless Romania no longer intends to be neutral.
Edel looked at Ambassador Baslob in front of him and asked again. "Ambassador, are you sure this is a request made by your country? You should know that Romania is a neutral country, and we cannot violate its principle of neutrality."
When Ambassador Baslob heard Edel's words, he didn't say a word in his heart. He said that he didn't mean what he said last time when he sold aircraft shooting coordinators. However, he would not say what he was saying, but instead bowed even more.
Kneeling, he said, "Yes, Your Majesty, this is the condition our government wants to put forward."
Edel said straightforwardly. "It is impossible for us to agree to your request. We must know that Romania will not violate the law of neutrality, so you must give up on this idea."
Ambassador Baslob was not angry when he heard Edel's direct rejection. He knew that this new weapon was too large, and he was mentally prepared for Romania's direct rejection. However, he would not give up like this and came here this time.
Mainly to let Romania know that Germany is very interested in this new weapon.
After seeing off Ambassador Baslob, Eder picked up the table and obtained the information about the Battle of the Somme. He was also confused about whether to give tanks to Germany. From the bottom of his heart, he hoped that Germany would let Britain and France flow more on the Western Front.
blood, allowing him to spend more time licking his own wounds after the war. However, it seems that the inertia of history is still strong, and the damage caused by his butterfly to Britain and France is still limited.
In fact, this is Edel's illusion. In this time and space, he has already caused a lot of additional damage to Britain and France. The British and French have already lost more than 100,000 people more than in the original history. This has happened since the British moved to the United Kingdom in November 1915.
This can be seen from the change from the volunteer military system to the conscription system, which was more than 2 months earlier than in history, but Edel did not understand this.
Facing Germany's request, Edel now plans to discuss with Plesan. Military matters still require military experts to solve.
"Your Majesty, I think...we can reject Germany's request...but in order to ease the relationship with them, we can find a way from the drawings and designs."
After hearing Eder speak out Germany's request, General Plie explained it to the king word for word. In fact, he didn't know what to do with Germany's request. He could only rely on the king's previous attitude towards Germany.
Let’s talk.
Seeing the hesitant General Preshan, Edel knew that he was asking the wrong person. So he changed his approach. "So do you think it is a threat to us if we hand over part of the design to Germany?"
Hearing Edel's military inquiry, Preshan said without thinking. "No, this threat can be ignored, because we only gave them part of the drawings, and they did not have time to study it carefully."
Edel decided to think about what Preshan said. "Okay, I'm thinking about it."
While Edel was troubled by Germany's requirements, another plan of the German Embassy was being implemented step by step.
