Struggle in Russia - Vol 3 Chapter 732
“Struggle in Tsarist Russia (
This robbery, no, the rich harvest of this ambush operation not only made Boris happy, but also surprised when Vishniak received the seizure list.
Nearly 50 tons of high-quality French wheat flour, 1,000 kilograms of Cuban brown sugar and Chinese tea leaves, and thousands of kilograms of black gunpowder, these are all good things that money can’t buy in the market today!
It can be said that this ambush operation has earned back all the expenses of more than 1,000 people in Boris this year. No wonder Li Xiao tried his best to request to enter Bulgaria to attack the Turkish supply line. It is really a pity not to do such a lucrative business.
However, Vishniak also knows that this kind of business is not something that everyone can do. Entering the enemy’s rear to fight, without the cooperation of the Bulgarian natives, it will definitely be impossible. So he generously distributed the spoils to his Bulgarian allies, much to the delight of Lazette and others.
“Dear Colonel Pogolovsky, thank you for your generosity, these supplies are too precious, and our resistance will be able to last longer with these!”
For Bulgarians, things like flour are not particularly attractive. After all, they are farmers themselves, and they have no shortage of land or serfs. Although they have to be partially exploited by the Turks, it is not difficult to feed their stomachs.
The weapons and ammunition that Vishniak generously gave them were especially precious. After all, the Turks have been guarding against them, and the restrictions in this regard are not generally large. With these weapons and ammunition they can better arm and protect their wealth from intrusion, which is the most important thing to them.
“You’re welcome!” Vishniak said indifferently: “This is the first time we have cooperated. As long as we continue to cooperate sincerely, I believe that similar materials will become more and more abundant, and your strength will also increase. The bigger and bigger!”
Lazette suddenly became a little fanciful, and no one could refuse such a beautiful prospect. After all, this time it was a hasty cooperation, and neither the intelligence nor the scale of the attack was large. After all, they didn’t quite believe that the Russians could really do it, and even if they did, they didn’t necessarily keep their promises.
And now that Vishniak has proven his credibility, even if you can’t fully trust the Russians, there’s no harm in investing a little more and testing the waters, right? What if the Russians succeed again?
Soon Lazette brought new information. Plovdiv will soon have a supply convoy that will pass by. This time the scale is even larger. It is said that the escorted flour is full of hundreds of tons, and other materials are not counted. number.
Vishniak was a little moved when he heard the news, but he immediately remembered Li Xiao’s advice, safety is the first factor, such a large amount of materials will inevitably be escorted by the Turks, as for Boris. Thousands of people may not be able to eat it.
What’s more, Plovdiv is Bulgaria’s second largest city after Sofia. No matter how many troops are stationed around such a big city, the defense will not be as slack as the old Zagora.
And Plovdiv is too far from Tarnovo, and has been far away from the sphere of influence of pro-Russian aristocrats such as Lazette. Going there is tantamount to an away game, everything is unknown, and if there is a slight mistake, I am afraid that it will suffer a big loss!
Vishniak thought and thought, and was still inclined to give up, but Boris and Lazette tried their best to dissuade them, they thought this opportunity could not be missed!
“Respected Colonel Pogolovsky, your worries are unnecessary. Although Plovdiv is indeed far away from Tarnovo, we are not completely away from home. My father has a close relationship with the Earl of Province. As long as I go and tell the Count personally, the Count will definitely be on our side!”
“With the cooperation of the count, we will have no obstacle in Plovdiv, and I can also persuade my father to send more troops to help!”
Boris also persuaded: “If the information is correct, this time it will be a heavy blow to the Turkish logistics, and the Turkish army on the Danube front line will be unable to continue the attack, which is particularly effective in reducing the pressure on Duke Mikhail!”
Vishniak is not so easy to persuade, he replied calmly: “Then ask Mr. Lazette to contact the Earl of Providence to see what the earl and the old Viscount Lazette have. If it is reasonable, we will discuss it further!”
Vishniak is not confused at all. Although the wealth is attractive, it is impossible for them to rely on the Bulgarians without asking. Unless the conditions are negotiated, he will not act foolishly. He wouldn’t do the stupid thing of marrying someone.
As for Boris, after sending Lazette away, he was a good lesson: “You kid is absolutely floating, thinking that the Turks are vulnerable after a sneak attack, right? I only saw the flatbread painted by Lazette, why? Don’t you look at the risks and forget Andre’s order? If you are still so inexperienced in the future, then I can only suggest that Andre be replaced by another person to carry out the mission in Bulgaria. ”
Boriston was discouraged when he was, he just wanted to fight too much, and it was too easy to succeed the previous time, and he achieved his goal with almost no effort. Who doesn’t want to come again and again!
But after being cleaned up by Vishniak, he was honest, and he no longer dared to encourage Vishniak to go to Plovdiv, and continued to train soldiers obediently.
Vishniak initially thought that the matter was over. Who would have thought that Lazette would come back in a hurry after only two days. He excitedly told Vishniak and Boris:
“The Earl of Province promised to provide the detailed itinerary of the logistics convoy and the configuration of the **** troops, and was willing to provide us with shelter, but he asked for 30% of the proceeds. My father is willing to provide 2,000 people to assist you in attacking the Turks, he The requirement is 20% of the income.”
Before Vishniak was doing well, Boris secretly said in his heart: “It’s so dark, half of the benefits will be gone at once, it’s faster than robbing!”
Boris felt that Vishniak might not accept such outrageous conditions, but to his surprise, Vishniak agreed, but he also had a condition: “It is inconvenient for us to transfer 50% of the income, I hope the Earl of Province will provide the necessary assistance to assist us in the safe transfer of these supplies!”
Lazette thought for a while, and immediately agreed: “Yes, but you have to pay for the shipping!”
“No problem, but you have to ensure that it can be delivered safely, otherwise this will be our last cooperation!”
In just a few words, the two of them finalized the details of the cooperation. When Boris reacted, Vishniak was already urging him to gather the people and get on the road quickly…
