Of course, Counselor Masno would not believe everything that Andizi Danton said. He said into the microphone, "Your Excellency, the amount you want is too high. We at least need to read the content before we can decide on the price."
Counselor Masno's words made Andizi Danton silent for a while. After a while, a voice came from the microphone. "I can show you part of it, but you can only come alone."
Counselor Masnow immediately followed up. "Then where shall we meet?"
"Let's meet at Demank's Café on Dotov Street."
"no problem."
After putting down the phone, Counselor Masno immediately found Ambassador Baslob, and he told him that Andizi Danton had obtained the information about the contents of the negotiations.
After Ambassador Baslob heard Andizi Danton's conditions, he told Counselor Masno. "We first need to ensure whether the information he has obtained is true, and then determine whether to send a telegram to the country to request financial assistance.
.”
Facing Ambassador Baslob's words, Counselor Masnow nodded and said, "That's fine, let me check it out first."
After finishing speaking, the two took the map to check the meeting place. It must be said that Andizi Danton chose a good location. There are many important departments in Romania on Dotov Street. Among them, the Ministry of Internal Affairs in charge of Romania’s internal security is located in
Here, the Demanco Coffee Shop where the two met is located in a small square. It is well-connected and easy to escape. This shows that Andizi Danton is very wary, fearing that they will kill the donkey and unload the mill.
Counselor Masno went alone according to Andizi Danton's words. He just wanted to say that this Russian colleague was too cautious. He could even say that even if he got the money, the German Embassy would not disadvantage him. But really
When he met Andizi Danton in person, Counselor Masino did not say this.
Wearing a disguise, Andizi Danton glanced around, and he said to Counselor Masno, who was also disguised and did not want to reveal his identity. "This is what I can show you in advance. If there is no other part of the four hundred thousand dollars, I will burn it."
Lose."
After speaking, the apparently torn part of the document was handed to Counselor Masnuo by Andizi Danton. Counselor Masnuo did not read the content first, but sniffed the torn paper with his nose.
"This is British Embassy paper, smelling of Scottish oak."
Faced with Counselor Masno's sudden show of his hand, Andizi Danton did not comment but said, "I will reply within three days. Starting from every day, I will call you at eight o'clock in the morning to inquire. After three days, I will give you a reply."
I will leave before God replies."
Looking at Andizi Danton who was pretending to be fearful and indifferent, Counselor Masno knew that if he did not get the money, let alone three days, it would be fine to let the Russian counselor in front of him wait for a month. However, he did not refute
emotions, because he knew that Andizi Danton had grasped the key point, and now they had no choice but to get the information from him. For the price of four hundred thousand dollars, they could only report to Berlin after identifying the authenticity of the content.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs asked him to find ways to raise US$400,000 first.
Counselor Masno studied the paper given to him by Andizi Danton and Ambassador Baslob, and found that it was true. However, Andizi Danton was very smart, and he started to tear it along the line of Romanian conditions, so
Half of the conditions Romania offered to the Allied Powers were revealed on this piece of paper. Even this half surprised the two leaders of the German Embassy.
At five o'clock in the afternoon that day, the content sealing some of Romania's conditions arrived at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. As for the information that could detect the negotiations between Romania and the Allies, Foreign Minister Simons immediately asked the embassy in Romania to buy this information. And
In order to avoid long nights and nightmares, I also informed the embassy in Romania about how to obtain funds.
The telegram from the Foreign Minister was sent to the embassy that night. After reading it, the two immediately divided their work. Counselor Masno stayed in the embassy early tomorrow morning to wait for Andizi Danton's call, while Baslow
Ambassador Bo went to get the money. Without money, he could not get the intelligence from Andizi Danton, and he had to hurry. This was to prevent the Russian Embassy from discovering that the intelligence had been leaked.
So Ambassador Baslob was ready to go out early in the morning to get money. There are so many German businessmen in Romania, and it would not be easy to find one or two people with strong government background among them to temporarily mobilize. Of course, this must be from Berlin.
If it were Ambassador Baslob, he wouldn't have that much energy.
Counselor Masno, who was waiting at the embassy, received a call from Andizzi Danton at eight o'clock, so he immediately said to Andizzi Danton, "We agree to your terms, but we can only trade in the afternoon. What do you think?"
?”
Andizi Danton was silent on the phone for a while, as if he was considering his proposal. After a while, his voice came out of the phone. "Okay, I'll call you at twelve noon."
So Counselor Masno kept waiting for Ambassador Baslob to come back. He had no money but couldn't move Andizi Danton and couldn't get the information. So he waited until after ten o'clock before Ambassador Baslob returned to the embassy.
The news was that Ambassador Baslob had brought back a box containing $400,000 worth of banknotes and valuables.
Ambassador Baslob walked to Counselor Masno, put down the box and gasped. "There are only US dollars here, and some leus. Because we are in a hurry, there are also some gold and diamonds.
"
Faced with Ambassador Baslob's words, Counselor Masno replied, "According to my understanding of Andizi Danton, he won't care about this. And what's more, what he was given was in hard currency, so why should I be dissatisfied?"
"
Ambassador Baslob thought that Counselor Masnot's explanation made sense, so the two of them kept waiting for Andizi Danton's call. Sure enough, the phone rang at twelve o'clock, and Counselor Masnot answered the phone, and there was
There was the voice of Andizi Danton. "You came to Crook's restaurant alone at two o'clock this afternoon with the money. We will hand over the money and deliver the goods. You can only do it by yourself."
Of course, Counselor Masino was unwilling to follow Andizi Danton's baton, so he said: "Whether the two of us are too weak to do the job alone, you must know that four hundred thousand US dollars in banknotes is not a small amount, and one person can take it."
It’s very strenuous.”
Counselor Masno's words made Andizi Danton alert. "It can only be done by one person, or I will set these documents on fire."
Counselor Masnow knew that this was just a threat, but he didn't dare to take a gamble so he had to say. "Okay, I will come alone. I need to tell you something here. It is too difficult to exchange for 400,000 US dollars. We only found half of it, and I will give you the rest."
I've prepared some lei and precious metals, don't you mind."
"I don't mind, but remember to be on time."
Then there was a beeping sound from the phone, and Counselor Masnow put down the phone in his hand and said to Ambassador Baslob. "It seems that Mr. Dandong is too vigilant."
"Then just do what he said. The first priority is to ensure that the information is obtained."
After hearing Ambassador Baslob's words, Counselor Masnow nodded in agreement. Right now, the priority is to obtain the information, and other ideas will be discussed later.
Counselor Masnot quickly rushed to Crook's Restaurant with the money, and then six embassy guards, led by the military attache Lieutenant Colonel Harberts, also rushed there. They did not want to get the money back, but to ensure that
Counselor Masnow got the real information and was able to bring it back to the embassy safely.
When it was almost two o'clock, Counselor Masnow walked towards Crook's Restaurant with a heavy suitcase. He had been here for almost half an hour, and now that it was almost time, he walked into the restaurant.
After entering here, Counselor Masino was guided by the waiter to a semi-shielded isolation room, where As expected, Andizi Danton was waiting for him.
After dismissing the waiter, Counselor Masno placed the box at Andizi Danton's feet and sat down. Andizi Danton immediately picked up the box and opened it for inspection.
Counselor Masno was drinking coffee while watching Andizi Danton's actions. He waited until the inspection was completed before he said, "Have the numbers been checked?"
"no problem."
"So what do I want?"
Andizi Danton took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to him. Counselor Masno immediately dug out two documents and saw that one of the documents had been partially torn off. He took out the envelope he had received from Andizi Danton before.
I compared the part to make sure it was torn off, and then checked whether the two pieces of paper were consistent, and there was no problem.
After completing the inspection, Counselor Masno began to look at the above content roughly. After reading a rough overview, he was shocked by Romania's good appetite. Everything east of the Tisza River belongs to Romania, which means that 31% of the Kingdom of Hungary will be given to Romania.
Territory, and 26% of its population is too bold.
But now is not the time for Counselor Masnow to be shocked. He also discovered this problem himself. After putting the two documents back into the envelope and putting them in his pocket, he left. Now he urgently needs to report this shocking news to the country.
.
After Counselor Masno left, Andizi Danton also left with the box. Now he needs to leave here, preferably from Romania.
