Struggle in Russia

After sending Alexei away, Li Xiao went to see the Bretianu brothers non-stop again. This time he did not cheat them again, but told them to arrange for their family members to take refuge in Paris three days later.

The Bretianu brothers are naturally grateful for this, because it is not a normal difficulty to want to leave Wallachia now. With Turkey and Russia standing together, Turkey has blocked the Wallachia border. If you leave, you will either get through the relationship with Turkey, or you can only go to Serbia or Austria.

But neither side is so easy to go, which means that there is no strong relationship now that I really don't want to leave Wallachia. Especially the high-level leaders of the Wallachian Provisional Republic such as the Bretianu brothers, they must be blacklisted by Turkey and Russia, and it is difficult to leave.

Of course, the Bretianu brothers were not unprepared. They had sent their close relatives abroad earlier, and the part left now is not so much a family member as a family member who helped **** the last little family property.

If this group of people do not follow the French relationship, the Turks will be detained if they say they are detained. However, with the presence of the French embassy, ​​the Turks will have to sell their face.

This is not to say that Li Xiao can’t help the Bretianu brothers, but it takes more time and more blood. After all, Turkey and Russia are not of the same mind. It is inevitable to open one eye and close one eye to find the benefits. of.

What Li Xiao did was just a favor, which saved the Bretianu brothers. These Bretianu brothers also knew it, but Li Xiao was able to do this favor to them, which made them feel at ease.

why? Too much wrongdoing!

People like the Bretianu brothers are completely dependent on foreign godfathers to survive, and once they have no use value, they will be abandoned by godfathers. But now the Provisional Republic of Wallachia is going to be finished, and their utilization value is getting lower and lower. Can you say that they are not afraid?

At this frightened time, Li Xiao came to send warmth on behalf of the foreign godfathers, which means that the godfathers have not given up on them, do they still have a future!

It's like a stimulus, and the Bretianu brothers are on their heads in an instant, and they are full of vitality, and they can't wait to be a horse and a horse for the godfather.

Li Xiao was also very satisfied with this, but he came to the brothers not only to send warmth, but also to talk about some things:

"Gentlemen, the current situation is irreversible, so we must plan for the future!"

The Bretianu brothers looked at him attentively, as if saying that there was something you could just order!

Li Xiao asked: "Who is in charge of the defense of Bucharest now?"

Jan Constantine smiled bitterly: "Nominally, the Provisional Government is responsible, and all the National Guards have to obey the Provisional Government's dispatch... But you know, the composition of the National Guards is complicated, and they basically do their own things... …Hey……"

Jan Constantine regretted it a bit. Although he also controlled a man of the National Self-Defense Army, he was relatively powerful, but it was absolutely impossible to control the city with this man. Now in the Provisional Government, it is true that only soldiers and guns have the right to speak. He had known that the barrel of the gun was so important, so he should have been more wooed.

Li Xiao asked again: "How many people are there in Bucharest's National Guard and Militia?"

Jan Constantine really doesn’t know this data. It’s not that he doesn’t pay attention, but that there are some things that can’t be counted at all. The National Self-Defense Army is okay. After all, this is the official armed force of Wallachia. The Provisional Government is somewhat counted. . But the militia is very difficult to say, especially after the clamor for a desperate fight against Russia has been heard recently, the general public is actively joining the army, and the number of the militia is even more difficult to say.

Li Xiao sighed and asked, "Then what do you command? How many?"

Jan Constantine thought for a while and replied: "It is estimated that there will be more than 10,000 people. The 3rd, 12th and 27th Brigades of the National Guard are all obedient. As for the 40th Brigade, it is not easy to say..."

More than 10,000 people are not unreasonable, but this is nothing compared to the number of Bucharest militias that Li Xiao has learned from other channels. There are at least 100,000 militias in this city. This is only in the urban area of ​​Bucharest. If the militias in the surrounding counties and cities are counted, the militias in Wallachia are less than two or three hundred thousand.

If you count the National Self-Defense Forces, Wallachia’s self-defense force rushes to the 500,000 mark, which is only a lot more. In this way, the Bretianu brothers only control one-fifth of their power, which is really bad!

Of course, fighting is not only based on the number of people, but also depends on morale and equipment. Morale is needless to say. Wallachians are now the same enemy and morale is high. As for the equipment, there is a lot to say, at least the equipment of the militias is terrible, most of them only have big swords and spears, and even the matchlock guns are rare.

"How are the troops equipped?" Li Xiao asked calmly.

Jan Constantine replied: "It's fine, with a uniform manpower and guns, but the ammunition is not enough."

Li Xiao nodded. This means that your brothers are local tyrants and are willing to spend money. As for the ammunition issue, I am afraid that not only the Bretianu brothers are lacking, but the entire Wallachia is lacking.

Thinking of this, Li Xiao's eyes lit up~www.ltnovel.com~ suddenly asked: "Who owns the surrounding arsenal?"

Yang Constantine naturally thought of Li Xiao's intentions, and he hesitated for a moment or replied: "Nominally, it is under the unified jurisdiction of the Revolutionary Committee, but everyone has sent someone to monitor it!"

Li Xiao hummed a little, and said categorically, "Arms is the most important thing. Whoever controls the arms has the advantage. So gentlemen, you have to act immediately and control the arsenal! Be sure to control it. Inside!"

Dimitri Bretianu was taken aback, and said in a panic: "I'm afraid this will arouse public outrage? In case the Revolutionary Committee investigates..."

It’s just that before he finished speaking, Jan Constantine interrupted him. He resolutely said: "Mr. Diomede is right. Now in the city, we are not dominant in strength, so we fight. Seven inches, only by controlling the arsenal can we regain the right to speak! This matter must be done immediately, act now! You immediately contact the 3rd Brigade, 12th Brigade and 27th Brigade and ask them to quickly take over the arsenal!"

Dimitri hesitated: "This is almost all of our troops, but isn't it a bit too small? In case other factions counterattack, our troops are not enough! Do you want to contact the 41st brigade, more people? Always good!"
