Chapter 240： The Bourne Shadows (End)

"You mean there needs to be a little more funding?"

In the embassy, ​​Ambassador Baslob asked the Counselor Masnou before him.

Facing the ambassador's inquiry, Counselor Masnou expressed his plan. "Yes, our goal has already moved. At present, we need to find a villa for the club. We also need to find a group of beautiful girls to catch our big fish."

This is also the main reason why Counselor Masnou asked Herke to postpone for a period of time. Only when he is hooked can he prepare for the next layout.

"Well, then, I will mention 100,000 lei to you. We must ensure that he falls into our hands and does things for us."

Upon hearing Ambassador Baslob's words, Counselor Masnou replied confidently. "no problem."

"Then you do it."

Counselor Masnou received funds from Ambassador Baslob, and immediately began to look for a villa as a location, let alone find him a satisfactory location, a three-story garden villa in the east suburbs of the city, he was awarded 6000 Lei rented for three months. Then he looked for a few nice ladies and ladies from the Orioles. Of course, these people are still not available, and they need to go through a certain etiquette training.

While Counselor Masno prepared the trap for Andizi Dandong to be hooked, Ambassador Baslob also continued to work hard for Romanian tanks.

"Ambassador Baslob, this is the fifth time you have come to ask about this. Our attitude is still the same. Romania cannot teach you new weapons like tanks. I don't even bother to say the reason. You know it."

Edel looked at Ambassador Baslobb who ran to meet him again, and refused to speak before he could even speak. Edel felt that the Ambassador Baslob was challenging his patience. If he was running twice, he would not plan to meet him.

Ambassador Baslob was not angry when he heard Edel's refusal before he spoke. He told Edel another plan. "Your Majesty, I am not going to buy real objects and drawings of tanks from your country this time. Can you show me the new things like Romanian tanks?"

Facing Ambassador Baslob's request, Edel couldn't help thinking. Is this going to be imitated by observing the shape? However, this idea was immediately rejected. It was obviously impossible. In this era, tanks, a new type of sophisticated weapon, can't know the internal structure at a glance. Therefore, facing the strange request of Ambassador Baslob, Edel was unable to judge his intentions for a while, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

Seeing that it was difficult for Edel to make a decision, Ambassador Baslob continued to speak. "Your Majesty, we just want to take a look, so as to provide some ideas for the country."

Regarding Ambassador Baslob’s explanation, Edel was not convinced, but he still couldn’t figure out the actions behind it. However, in Edel's opinion, this issue can be discussed later, so he spoke to Ambassador Baslob. "Mr. Ambassador, I can't answer your request at the moment. Can you read it for a few days?"

For the begging Ambassador Baslob, there was no condition to reject him on the spot. In his opinion, this was a good result, so he responded to Edel's answer. "No problem, I am willing to wait for your Majesty's news."

In fact, Ambassador Baslob did have his own goals, and it was indeed one of his goals to observe tanks at close range. But this is not his main purpose. He mainly wants to see if there are any Romanian tank troops who have returned from studying in Germany. He plans to start from this aspect. Edel forced Baslob to use this method. After Romania repeatedly disagreed to provide the physical objects and drawings, he thought of the last time the shooting coordinator was sent fakely, but this time it was replaced by real stealing.

Of course, the best technique is to steal the design drawings first, or find a designer. However, the blueprints of these new weapons are not so easy to steal. They are under heavy protection, and Ambassador Baslob does not have the ability to do it. As for finding designers, this is impossible in the eyes of Ambassador Baslob. No designer will give an answer when someone asks about the design of the weapon, and the point is, they don't know who designed the Romanian tank (the trio's design of the tank is still confidential and has not been disclosed).

So he can only hope that when observing Romanian tanks, Romanian officers who have returned from studying in Germany will serve in his troops. But this will be a military attache's business, and it is impossible for him to know every Romanian officer who goes to Germany for training. So these days, the military attache of the embassy, ​​Major Hubberts, is crazily taking photos of every Romanian officer who has gone to Germany for training. This can be regarded as 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 alleviate the rejection of the German request, Edel agreed to Ambassador Baslob’s request, but he could only take one attache forward. But this is not to let Ambassador Baslob go alone. In order to maximize the benefits, Edel also let the ambassadors of Britain, France, Russia, and Austria go together. Of course, the conditions are the same, only one entourage can be brought. This is also in order for Edel to let the powers see the strength of the Romanian army, so that countries (mainly the Allies) can give Romania more generous conditions.

After hearing the news, Ambassador Baslob asked Major Hubberts to keep in mind the photos of Romanian officers. So he forced Major Hubberts to use himself as a recorder.

Soon, Ambassador Baslob took Major Hubberts on the royal train, followed by Edel and the ambassadors of various countries to Constanta to observe the tank.

All the way to Constanta, Edel took them to the armored battalion. At the entrance of the camp, Lieutenant Colonel Hoffman led the officers to greet Edel's arrival. Hoffman didn't know that he took the officer to greet him this time, making Ambassador Baslob and Major Hubberts who followed Edel laugh. The welcoming ceremony in just a few minutes will allow Major Hubberts to recognize at least three officers trained in Germany. As for whether there were more, Major Hubberts was not sure. Because of the relationship between the photos of this era, he is not sure about some military officers who look alike.

Edel, who was completely unaware that Ambassador Baslob had achieved most of his purpose, also made a lot of arrangements for this inspection of the armored battalion. For example, there is only one company of tanks and wheeled armored vehicles. Moreover, this time the armored battalion was just a simple exercise of tactics, only the attack and breakthrough content of tanks. As for other exercises, of course they will not be conducted in public.

As for whether countries will leak secrets after observation, Edel believes that it is unlikely. Because the Renault 17 tank will appear in a few months, the Romanian Explorer tank will not be much better than the Renault 17. It is also very difficult for the great powers to recognize the power of Romania’s weapons, so this possibility is too small. Therefore, it is better to use it generously to improve the recognition of the strength of Romania's army by a strong one, and increase the bargaining chip for future negotiations.

Therefore, under the attention of ambassadors and military attachés of various countries, Hoffman asked his tanks to demonstrate the use of tanks in war. Although Britain has used it in its Somme, these performances still slightly shocked the ambassadors and military attaches of various countries. So the British ambassador Richardman sent a report to the country after visiting the tank drill in Romania.

Romania’s military strength is much better than we thought. In its tank drills, I think Romania has been able to use this new weapon proficiently, and its use is no shorter than ours. Therefore, I personally strongly recommend that this Balkan military power should be allowed to join our camp. This will be of great help to us in this war to end the war early.

The ambassadors of other countries have a high awareness of Romania's tanks this time, especially for the tanks that are being developed by various countries. Of course, Germany was the most helpful, because Germany also gained the most from this exercise.
