In the embassy, Ambassador Baslob asked Counselor Masnow in front of him.
Facing the ambassador's inquiry, Counselor Masno said his plan. "Yes, our goal has been set. Now we need to find a villa to serve as a club. We also need to find a group of beautiful girls to seduce us."
Big fish.”
This is also the main reason why Counselor Masnow asked Herc to postpone it for a while. Only when he takes the bait can he prepare the next plan.
"Okay then, I will give you 100,000 lei as the fund. We must ensure that he falls into our hands and works for us."
After hearing Ambassador Baslob's words, Counselor Masno replied confidently, "No problem."
"Then you go ahead and do it."
Counselor Masno received funds from Ambassador Baslob and immediately started looking for a villa as a location. Not to mention finding him a satisfactory location, a three-story garden villa located in the eastern suburbs of the city was sold to him for 6,000.
He rented it for three months at a price of leu. Then he looked for a few good-looking ladies from the wandering orioles to act as ladies. Of course, these people are not available yet and need to undergo certain etiquette training.
While Counselor Masno was preparing a trap for Andizi Danton, Ambassador Baslob was continuing to work hard for Romanian tanks.
"Ambassador Baslob, this is the fifth time you have come to ask about this matter. Our attitude is still the same. It is impossible for Romania to teach you a new weapon like a tank. I don't even bother to explain the reason, but you also know it."
Edel looked at Ambassador Baslob who came to see him again, and refused to speak before he could speak. Edel felt that Ambassador Baslob was challenging his patience. If he ran twice,
, he doesn’t even plan to meet him anymore.
Ambassador Baslob was not angry when he heard Edel's refusal before he even opened his mouth. He told Edel another plan. "Your Majesty, I am not going to buy the physical objects and drawings of tanks and combat vehicles from your country this time.
, can you take me to see a new thing like a Romanian tank?"
Faced with Ambassador Baslob's request, Edel couldn't help but think about it. Is this a plan to imitate by observing the appearance? However, he immediately rejected this idea. This is obviously impossible. In this era of new precision tanks,
It is not possible to know the internal structure of a weapon just by looking at it. So when faced with Ambassador Baslob's strange request, Edel was unable to judge his intention for the moment, which made him feel a little embarrassed.
Seeing that Edel had difficulty making a decision, Ambassador Baslob continued. "Your Majesty, we just want to take a look to provide some ideas for the country."
Edel didn't quite believe Ambassador Baslob's explanation, but he still couldn't figure out the actions behind it. However, in Edel's opinion, this issue could wait until later, so he told Ambassador Baslob
"Mr. Ambassador, I can't give you an answer to your request at the moment. Can you take a look at it for a few days?"
For Ambassador Baslob, who was asking for help, he did not reject his conditions on the spot. In his opinion, this was a good result, so when faced with Edel's answer, he replied, "No problem, I am willing to wait for Your Majesty.
news."
In fact, Ambassador Baslob did have his own purpose. One of his purposes was to observe real objects like tanks at close range. However, this was not his main purpose. He mainly wanted to see if any of the Romanian tank troops came from Germany.
After studying abroad, he planned to start from this aspect. Edel forced Basloboda to use this method. After Romania repeatedly refused to provide physical objects and drawings, he thought of the last fake theft.
The shooting coordinator incident was a real gift, but this time it was replaced by a real thief.
Of course, the best way to steal technology first is to steal the design drawings, or find designers. However, the drawings of these new weapons are not so easy to steal. They are all under heavy protection. Ambassador Baslob does not have the ability to do it. As for finding designers
personnel, this is also impossible in the opinion of Ambassador Baslob. No designer will give an answer when others ask about the weapon design, and the key is that they do not know who designed the Romanian tank (the trio designed the tank
The matter is still kept secret and has not been made public).
So he could only hope that when he was observing Romanian tanks, there would be Romanian officers who had returned from studying in Germany and were serving in his army. However, this would be a matter for military attachés, and it was impossible for him to know every Romanian officer who went to Germany for training. So these few
Major Harberts, the military attaché at the Angel Hall, is frantically taking down photos of every Romanian officer who has gone to Germany for training. This is Baslob's method of using a blind cat to kill a mouse.
A few days later, news came from the Romanian Palace. In order to ease the reason for rejecting Germany's request, Eder agreed to Ambassador Baslob's request, but he could only bring one attaché. However, this was not to let Baslob alone.
Ambassador Lorber went, and Edel, in order to maximize the benefits, also asked the ambassadors of Britain, France, Russia, and Austria to go together. Of course, the conditions were the same, and he could only bring one attaché. This was also Edel's way of letting the great powers see the Romanian army.
The strength of the country allows various countries (mainly the Allied Powers) to provide Romania with more generous conditions.
After hearing the news, Ambassador Baslob asked Major Harberts to remember the photos of Romanian officers. So he forced Major Harberts to use himself as a recorder.
Soon, Ambassador Baslob and Major Harberts boarded the royal train, and followed Eder and the ambassadors from various countries to Constanta to observe the tanks.
All the way to Constanta, Edel took them to the armored battalion station. At the gate of the camp, Lieutenant Colonel Hoffman and the officers greeted Edel's arrival. Hoffman did not know that he was bringing the officers with him this time.
The greeting made Ambassador Baslob and Major Harberts, who were following Edel, burst into laughter. In just a few minutes of the welcoming ceremony, Major Harberts recognized at least three officers trained in Germany.
As for whether there were more, Major Harberts was not sure. Because of the photos from this era, he was not sure about some officers who looked similar.
Edel, who had no idea that Ambassador Baslob had already achieved most of his goals, made many arrangements for this inspection of the armored battalion. For example, only one company of tanks and one company of wheeled armored vehicles were unveiled this time.
Moreover, this time the armored battalion is only practicing simple tactics, including tank attack and breakthrough content. As for other drill content, of course it will not be conducted in public.
As for whether secrets will be leaked after various countries observe it, Edel thinks it is unlikely. Because the Renault 17 tank will appear in a few months, Romania's Explorer tank will not be much stronger than the Renault 17. And the great powers must recognize Romania
The power of weapons is also very difficult, so the possibility is too small. So it is better to show it generously to increase the foreign powers' recognition of Romania's military strength and increase bargaining chips for future negotiations.
So with the attention of ambassadors and military attachés from various countries, Hoffmann asked his tanks to demonstrate the use of tanks in war. Although Britain had already used them on the Somme River, these performances still shocked the ambassadors of various countries.
and the military attache. So much so that the British Ambassador Richard Mann sent a report to the country after visiting Romania's tank drills.
Romania's military strength is much better than we imagined. In its tank drills, I think Romania has become very proficient in using this new weapon, and its use time is no shorter than ours. So I personally strongly recommend,
This Balkan military power should be allowed to join our camp, which will be of great help to us in ending this war early.
The ambassadors of other countries have a high level of awareness of Romania's tanks this time, especially the tanks being developed by various countries. Of course, it is of greatest help to Germany, because Germany also gained the most from this exercise.
PS: I can’t stand it any longer, so prepare to go to bed and continue writing tomorrow.
