Chapter 732 Full of Harvests
The rich harvest of this robbery, no, this ambush not only made Boris happy, but Vishnyak was also surprised when he received the list of seizures.
Nearly fifty tons of high-quality French wheat flour, one thousand kilograms of Cuban brown sugar and Chinese tea, and thousands of kilograms of black powder. These are all good things that even those with money may not be able to buy in the market today!
It can be said that this ambush operation earned back all the expenses of Boris and more than a thousand people this year. No wonder Li Xiao tried his best to enter Bulgaria to attack the Turkish supply lines. It would be a pity not to do such a profitable business.
However, Vishnyak also knew that not everyone could do this kind of business. It would be absolutely impossible to fight behind enemy lines without the cooperation of the Bulgarian natives. So he generously distributed the spoils to his Bulgarian allies, making Razet and others very happy.
"Dear Colonel Bogolovsky, thank you for your generosity. These supplies are so precious. With these, our resistance army will be able to hold on longer!"
For Bulgarians, things like flour are not particularly attractive. After all, they are farmers themselves and have no shortage of land or serfs. Although they are partially exploited by the Turks, it is not difficult to keep their stomachs full.
The weapons and ammunition Vishnyak generously gave them were particularly precious. After all, the Turks have been guarding against them, and the restrictions in this area are not generally large. With these weapons and ammunition, they can be better armed and protect their wealth from intrusion, which is the most important thing to them.
"You're welcome!" Vishniak said calmly: "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 become stronger." Get stronger!"
Razette suddenly became a little fanciful. No one could refuse this wonderful prospect. After all, this time the cooperation was hasty, and neither the intelligence nor the scale of the attack was large. After all, they didn't really believe that the Russians could really do it before, and even if they did, they might not keep their promises.
And now that Vishnyak has proven his credibility, even if he can't completely trust the Russians, there's no harm in investing a little more and trying the waters again, right? What if the Russians succeed again?
Soon Razet brought new information. A supply convoy will soon be passing through Plovdiv. This time it is larger. It is said that the escorted flour is hundreds of tons, and there are countless other supplies. number.
Vishnyak was a little moved when he heard the news, but he immediately remembered Li Xiao's advice. Safety is the first factor. The Turks will inevitably have heavy troops to escort such a large amount of supplies. As for Boris, A thousand people may not be able to eat it.
What's more, Plovdiv is the second largest city in Bulgaria after Sofia. There will always be many troops stationed around such a big city, and the defenses will not be as lax as in Old Zagora.
Moreover, Plovdiv is too far away from Tarnovo and has been far away from the sphere of influence of pro-Russian nobles such as Razet. Going there is like playing away from home, everything is unknown, and if you make a slight mistake, you may suffer a big loss!
Vishniak thought about it again and again, but was still inclined to give up, but Boris and Razette tried their best to dissuade him. They believed that this opportunity could not be missed!
"Dear Colonel Bogorovsky, there is no need to worry about you. Although Plovdiv is indeed far away from Tarnovo, we are not exactly fighting away from home. My father has a close relationship with Count Provence. As long as I tell the Count in person that I am powerful, the Count will definitely be on our side!"
"With the count's cooperation, we will have unimpeded access in Plovdiv, and I can also convince my father to send more troops to help in the battle!"
Boris also advised: "If the intelligence is correct, this time it will definitely deal a heavy blow to Turkey's logistics, making the Turkish army on the Danube river line stretched out and unable to continue the attack. It will be particularly effective in reducing the pressure on Duke Mikhail!"
Vishniak was not so easy to convince. He replied very calmly: "Then please first ask Mr. Lazette to contact the Count of Provinces and see what the count and old Viscount Lazette have requested. If it’s reasonable, we’ll discuss it further!”
Vishnyak was not confused at all. Although the money was attractive, it was impossible to rely on the Bulgarians without their demands. He would not act foolishly unless the conditions were negotiated. He wouldn't do anything stupid like marrying someone off.
As for Boris, after sending Lazet away, he learned a lesson: "You guys are definitely crazy. You think that the Turks are vulnerable because you thought a sneak attack was successful! You only saw the pie drawn by Lazet, why? Did you not look at the risks involved and forget Andre's order? If you are still so clueless in the future, then I can only suggest that Andre changes to someone else to perform the mission in Bulgaria."
Boris was immediately discouraged. He just wanted to fight too much, and it was really too easy to succeed last time. He achieved his goal without spending a single soldier. Who wouldn't want to do it more times?
But after being punished by Vishnyak, he became honest and no longer dared to encourage Vishnyak to go to Plovdiv, and he obediently continued to train soldiers.
Vishniak initially thought that the matter was over, but who would have thought that just two days later, Razet would come back covered in dust. He excitedly told Vishniak and Boris:
"The Count of Provinces promised to provide the detailed travel date of the logistics convoy and the configuration of the escort troops, and was willing to provide us with shelter, but he asked for 30% of the proceeds afterwards. And my father is willing to provide two thousand people to help you ambush the Turks. He The requirement is 20% of the profit.”
Before Vishnyak was okay, Boris thought to himself: "It's so dark. Half of the benefits are gone in one go, faster than snatching!"
Boris felt that Vishnyak would not accept such an outrageous condition, but to his surprise Vishnyak actually agreed, but he also had a condition: "It is not convenient for us to transfer 50% of the income. I hope the Count of Province will provide the necessary help to assist us in moving these supplies safely!”
Razette thought for a while and immediately agreed: "Yes, but you have to pay for the freight yourself!"
"No problem, but you have to ensure that it can be transported safely, otherwise this will be our last cooperation!"
In just a few words, the two of them finalized the details of the cooperation. By the time Boris reacted, Vishnyak was already urging him to gather his troops and hit the road quickly...
