"Odessa×3"

When the translators translated the words of Mayor Kasinacheev, the three people present shouted in unison, and then looked at Mayor Kasinacheev at the same time.

"That's right! As long as the French Empire has enough money, then how much food will be needed! Mayor Kasinacheev confidently told the three people present.

The translators hurriedly translated Kasinacheev's words to them.

"Mr. Mayor, it's not that we don't want to believe you! It's just that the idea of getting food from Odessa is a little too child's play! We are at war with the Russian Empire, how can they buy us grain? Major General Konrobell opened his mouth and said to the mayor of Kasinacheev, and it could be seen that Major General Konrobel was full of concerns about Kasinacheev.

The Russian Empire was at war with Britain and France, and some unscrupulous traders in Russia dared to deliver supplies to hostile countries at this juncture, and the officials of Odessa had a few heads enough for the tsar to chop off!

"Your Excellency, you don't know anything about the Russian Empire! In the minds of the officials of our Russian Empire, there has never been a so-called hostile state to speak of, as long as it is profitable for themselves, they will devote themselves to it, and making money is their goal! The mayor of Kasinacheev said with a sneer: "It is better to call them businessmen than officials." They will do everything in their power to turn what is not theirs into something that belongs to them.

The grain exchange franc is a good deal! ”

"Aren't they afraid that their tsar will find out?" Conrobel said to Mayor Kasinacheev with a shocked expression.

Despite all the corruption in the French Empire, no one dared to defy the wind.

All those who choose to commit crimes against the wind are without exception by Jérôme. Bonaparte was imprisoned in debt or handed over directly to a court-martial.

"Discovery?" Kasinacheev smiled "hehe", and the old god said on the ground: "How far is Moscow from Odessa!" His Majesty's hand can't reach here yet! ”

"But the Tsar can send an envoy to investigate! If it finds out, isn't it the end? Maj. Gen. Conrobert asked again.

"Finished? Impossible! The envoys appointed by His Majesty the Tsar will only return in vain in the end. The officials of the capital of Odessa, big and small, will never allow His Majesty's envoys of the Tsar to find out anything, and they will use all means to bribe the envoys to make a fake! As I just said, His Majesty the Tsar is in Moscow, he does not know at all what is happening in Odessa, and the information he receives is also just some fake news heard from the mouth of the envoy! All these years, the officials of Odessa have long studied all the actions of His Majesty the Tsar, for whom His Majesty has no secrets at all! Mayor Kasinacheev replied to Major General Konrobel in a firm tone.

"So Odessa is an airtight barrel! However, I do not believe that among these people there are not one or two envoys who do not accept the benefits of Odessa officials! Maj. Gen. Conrobert questioned.

"Your Excellency, Major General, as far as I know! No one has escaped the corrosion of Odessa yet! Kasinacheev responded to Major General Konrobel with a word: "Even if they have a second plan!" ”

"What's the plan?" Major General Conrobert asked the mayor of Kasinacheev.

Although the three of them already knew what plan would make the envoy shut up forever, they still wanted to hear how Kasinacheev's plan differed from what they thought.

"Kill people! Set fire to the warehouse! Sure enough, the mayor of Kasinacheev said what they thought.

The easiest way is to set fire to the warehouse, and it only takes a sudden fire to smooth out all the empty accounts, which is really a good thing for the country and the people (officials of the Russian Empire).

"I'm curious, how do you know so much about the inside of Odessa!" Major General Conrobel looked at Mayor Kasinacheev with a smile: "How did you, the mayor of the town, hook up with the Odessa side!" ”

"Your Excellency, Major General, in fact, I have been helping the officials of the Odessa region to ...... Not! Sell some items, so you still know everything about them! Some of them are still my comrades-in-arms back then! Kasinacheev said to Konrobel.

"Since you have said so, then on behalf of the coalition command, I will give you the right to solve the food problem of 30,000 people with full authority! But before you can prove to us that you have what it takes! Major General Konrobel said to the mayor of Kasinacheev.

"Don't worry!" The mayor of Kasinacheev responded to Major General Konrobel.

Subsequently, Major General Conrobert took out 500,000 francs of bearer bonds from his pocket and told the Kasinacheev coalition troops that they now needed 3 million francs of grain, and that 500,000 francs was the deposit they had paid in advance, and that the rest of the money would be paid together after the arrival of the grain, and that the mayor could exchange the same amount of gold with these bonds.

However, certain specific banks of the Russian Empire were required to redeem them.

Kasinachev trembled and accepted the bearer bonds of the Banque de France handed over by Major General Conrobert, knowing that for the officials of the capital of Odessa, the value of the paper ruble, which had been depreciating wildly, was a piece of waste paper, and the bonds issued by the Bank of France and the Bank of England were the real guarantees.

In a way, the value of these bearer bonds in the Russian Empire already exceeded 500,000 francs.

"Please rest assured, I will provide you with the food you need as soon as possible!" Kasinacheev solemnly assured Major General Konrobel.

"As soon as possible!" Major General Conrobert reminded.

Early the next morning, Mayor Kasinacheev left the town of Yevpatoria on a merchant ship.

In the following days, Kasinacheev did not return, and the food supply of the 90,000 troops of the Anglo-Saxon and Turkish countries was dwindling day by day.

This was the French Empire's partial distribution of its own supply ships to help them, and a lot of food was transported in the small town of Yevpatoria during this period.

In the early morning of 30 May, the first day of the third week after the coalition forces landed on the Crimean peninsula, several merchant ships flying the Russian flag swaggered close to the town of Yevpatoria, which was reported to Brigadier General McMahon by the soldiers guarding the coastline.

McMahon immediately instructed the Juaf regiment to be ready for battle, and Brigadier General McMahon personally led people to the docks to check on them.

"Binoculars!" McMahon stretched out his hand and said a word to the soldier beside him, who hurriedly handed the telescope into the hands of Brigadier General McMahon.

McMahon, armed with a telescope, observed the fleet that was gradually approaching Yevpatoria, and on one of the ships, Commodore McMahon, saw Kasinacheev.

"If it's not an enemy, go back!" Brigadier General McMahon put down his binoculars and waved his hand gently, and the soldiers of the Zhuaf regiment around him scattered!

After the convoy entered the port of Yevpatoria, bags of rice were unloaded from the garments, and the empty warehouses were filled at once, and the rest of the grain was left in the open space of the house.

Seeing this, Brigadier General McMahon hurriedly ordered his soldiers to help the group of "merchants" carry the rice off the ship together, and both sides tacitly understood each other not to reveal each other's identities.

It took more than three hours to get all the food off the four ships.

After the porterage, Mayor Kasinacheev brought a guy who claimed to be the captain of the fleet.

From the temperament exuded by the captain in front of him, it can be seen that the so-called captain in front of him is most likely a soldier from Odessa, and the rank of this soldier is not low.

A soldier personally came to escort the grain, and to give them food for the hostile country, it seems that the bends in the Russian Empire are very deep.

Although Brigadier McMahon understood that the so-called captain in front of him was a soldier, he still delivered all the subsequent 1.5 million francs bearer bonds to the captain in front of him as agreed.

"I hope to continue working together next time!" The "captain", who received the bearer bond, reached out to Brigadier General McMahon in a standard Parisian accent.

"Definitely!" Brigadier General McMahon nodded in response, knowing that the deal had only just begun.

After a few short words of little nourishment, the "captain" left the town of Yevpatoria, and Brigadier General McMahon watched them leave.

It wasn't until the fleet had drifted away that Commodore McMahon asked Kasinacheev who was standing behind them.

"Supposedly the former Governor Vorontsov!" The mayor of Kasinacheev responded to Brigadier General McMahon: "After being transferred from the post of Governor of Crimea by His Majesty the Tsar, Vorontsov did not accept the post of Commander-in-Chief of the Caucasus from His Majesty the Tsar, and asked for retirement!" It's hard to make sure that there is nothing to worry about in my heart! ”

"The partisan struggle has spread to the army!" Brigadier General McMahon gloated, and then gave Ivankov the order to load part of the grain into the trucks.

"Do you still want to pretend?" Ivankov responded to Brigadier General McMahon.

"Pretend!" Brigadier General McMahon replied categorically to Ivankov.

Ivankov had no choice but to obey Commodore McMahon's orders to load all the grain that had been vacant outside the warehouse with the collected carts, and then Brigadier General McMahon sent two battalions of Zhuaf's troops to escort him personally, and anyone who dared to approach the grain carts would be killed without mercy.
