The August Revolution led by Bushilwick not only changed the country and the world, but also changed all kinds of people.
The people who felt the most in Romania were the people at the Russian Embassy in Romania, among whom the number one and two figures in the embassy reacted the most violently. Ambassador Filalovsky and Counselor Andizi Danton were considered losses.
The most tragic thing is that the current chaos in Russia makes it impossible for them to continue their diplomatic work. In fact, St. Petersburg has not sent any missions to the embassy since the August Revolution.
“Now that St. Petersburg doesn’t provide funding, what should we do?”
In Ambassador Filalovsky's office, Counselor Andizi Danton was irritably expressing his dissatisfaction to the ambassador.
"Dandong, don't be too anxious. Just wait for a while. We have to trust St. Petersburg and they will take care of us." Ambassador Filalovsky took a sip from the wine glass and persuaded Andizi Danton.
"It's happened before, hasn't it?"
Not mentioning it, it was fine before, but when he mentioned it, Andizi Danton said angrily. "After the coup in January, the new government only thought of disbursing funds to our embassy in March, and only half of it was distributed. The previous two
They didn’t provide us with any money every month. If we hadn’t borrowed some money from the British and French embassies, we would have been waiting to go begging on the streets. So far, our embassy has not paid back the money. Now we have to wait again. Who should we turn to this time?
Borrowing money to keep the embassy running?”
Looking at the excited Mr. Danton, Ambassador Filalovsky took another sip of wine. In fact, he knew why the counselor was so excited. His Excellency Danton had two or three lovers in Bucharest, and the pressure in life was not small at all. And in Bucharest, Mr. Danton had two or three lovers.
Many staff in the embassy, like the counselors, cost a lot of money, so he could understand Andizi Danton's complaints. He understood, but he didn't have a solution. The cost of running the embassy was what troubled him now.
As an embassy of a powerful country, it is impossible to stop operating due to lack of funds. This will also be difficult for Ambassador Filalovsky to talk about. So he is worrying about the embassy funds. For Counselor
He could only comfort him first.
"Your Excellency Dandong, you also know the current situation of the embassy. If St. Petersburg does not release funds, we can only find ways to do it ourselves."
"Or go to the British and French ambassadors to borrow it?"
Facing Andizi Danton's question, Filalovsky shook his head and said, "It's impossible to borrow money from them again, especially after the government's attitude changed. Now we need to find a way from other places."
"any solution?"
Looking at himself as a counselor who was not very smart, Ambassador Filalovsky just continued. "Do you have any connections in Bucharest that can help you borrow some money?"
It turned out that Ambassador Filalovsky planned to borrow a sum of money to make things happen first.
Andizi Danton asked curiously. "How much money do you need to borrow?"
"One million lei will do."
Andizi Danton “Then what shall we use as collateral?”
“What about the vehicles and office supplies used by the embassy?”
Seeing that Ambassador Filalovsky was not familiar with the loan business, Andizi Danton asked for some knowledge. "Ambassador, what you mentioned is not worth half a million lei in total. There is no way anyone would be willing to lend it to us. Unless
Add something else.”
"you mean?"
Andizi Danton thought about where there are valuable things in the embassy. It is impossible to mortgage the embassy area. It was purchased and built by the Russian government and has been registered with the St. Petersburg and Romanian governments. There is nothing else in the embassy.
It suddenly occurred to him that there were valuable items in the embassy that could be used as collateral.
"The building behind our embassy that is used as accommodation was built with the funds of the former ambassador. It is unlikely that St. Petersburg knew about it. We can simply convert it into a hotel and then mortgage it. I believe we can borrow one million lei
Yi.”
The words of Andizzi Danton made Ambassador Feralovsky's eyes light up. He knew more about the dormitory building at the back than Andizzi Danton, and he could definitely follow this plan. Ferraro felt much more relaxed.
Ambassador Fsky pulled Andizi Danton and said, "Dandong, your attention is very good, and it has alleviated the financial shortage of our embassy."
Ambassador Filalovsky poured a glass of wine and handed it to Andizi Danton, and then the two of them clinked their glasses and drank. "I didn't expect that you are very talented in these things, Andizi Danton. This will help me a lot."
Very busy."
In response to the compliment, Andizi Danton said politely, "Ambassador, you don't need to be so polite, I can help you in these places."
Then the two of them started chatting while drinking. Ambassador Filalovsky and Counselor Andizi Danton were chatting all over the place. Until they talked about the British and French ambassadors to Romania, they drank a lot of money.
Ambassador Lalovsky cursed. "Richard Mann and Jean Bard, these two guys, completely ignore our alliance and our friendship. They have stopped calling me when negotiating with Romania these few times."
Faced with the word 'negotiation' that came out of Ambassador Filalovsky's mouth, Andizi Danton immediately raised his attention and said in an insinuating way. "This is indeed wrong. After all, Russia sacrificed for the war.
There are so many, we should not be excluded.”
"Yes, when we were negotiating with Romania, we were three people together. After the first coup in St. Petersburg, they began to distance themselves from me. They stopped calling me after the second coup. Moreover, Romania unreasonably demanded the areas reserved by our country. They
Actually want to consider..."
While Andizi Danton was listening attentively, Ambassador Filalovsky fell asleep while talking. Looking at Ambassador Filalovsky who was mid-sentence, Andizi Danton was filled with emotion in his heart.
After all the suffering, he could only give up questioning. However, he remembered that after being dragged into the trap by the German counselor, his first request was to investigate the negotiations between Romania and the Allies. Now that he could not continue questioning in this situation, he could only gather information again another day.
The next day, Andizi Danton told the German Counselor Masnow the information he had just obtained in the Roma Club.
After listening to Andizi Danton's report, Counselor Masno took it very seriously. He opened the drawer and took out a stack of banknotes with about twenty to thirty thousand lei, handed it to Andizi Danton and said, "Andizi Danton"
It’s best to investigate Qi Dandong’s matter, so that we will all be much better off.”
Andizi Danton took the banknote skillfully and nodded. "I will try my best to do it."
"This time we can't just do our best, we must investigate clearly."
Counselor Masno knew that a heavy reward must be given to Andizi Danton this time. This guy only cares about money now, and he must work hard to complete this job. "This time, as long as we investigate clearly, we have prepared 25 for you."
Ten thousand U.S. dollars, and I can send you out of Europe."
The numbers revealed by Counselor Masno made Andizi Danton swallow his saliva. After thinking about it for a while, he seemed to have made up his mind and said, "I'll do the job, but I want 300,000 US dollars."
Counselor Masnow thought about it and said to him, "Yes, but we need to get this information within a month."
"no problem."
After sending Andizi Danton away, Counselor Masno was also secretly sad, because this was the most likely way for them to obtain information on the negotiations between Romania and the Allies. In these months, they had no idea about the details of the negotiations between Romania and the Allies.
I don’t know at all. I just know that they are negotiating, but what to talk about specifically needs to be figured out from Russia’s side.
