Rebirth: Romania Rising

The rest of the money will be divided among the remaining people. People with high positions and those who participated in the Battle of Varna will get more. After all, it only amounts to a few thousand per person.

"Of course, there's also your share."

With that said, Victor took out another sum of money and placed it in front of Mistry.Mistry was stunned and quickly pushed the money back: "Sir, what do you mean?"

Victor knew very well that this Mistry was really not comparable to ordinary subordinates. As a part-time job-study person with no real job, Mistry had never accepted any paperwork before.

In the past few days, Mistry has been working diligently, making rapid progress in language learning, and has not made any mistakes, but there are no outstanding achievements, so Victor initially treated him as an ordinary subordinate.

The war ended in August of this year.Mistry was unable to stay in the military camp for a while. In the past two days, without Mistry's assistance, Victor was shocked to find that his work was much heavier than before!

The documents and proposals of other subordinates were not as thorough as Mistry's, and there were many mistakes.It's right to think about it. Looking at the whole of Dobrich, where can you find someone like Mistry who can not only study machinery and be proficient in bilingualism, but also understand the world of people and have outstanding social skills?

As expected, Victor still sighed that Mistry, an outsider, could be called his "right-hand man". Victor's original admiration for Mistry was even higher.

"You and I worked together these days, and you contributed a lot. But unfortunately you are not a Romanian soldier and can't be promoted. But the bonus is for me, but I can't keep it to myself. I hope you can accept it. ."

Mistry was still about to refuse, but Victor continued: "I can guess some of your current thoughts.

If you obtain an official position for assisting the garrison in meritorious service, I am afraid that the refugees will spread rumors that you helped the Bulgarians, massacred the Bulgarians, and forced them to leave their homes.I'm afraid it will be very detrimental to your reputation here in the future.But how this bounty is distributed is up to you and me, and no third party will see it. You might as well accept it. Firstly, you can supplement your family income, and secondly, you can express my gratitude..."

Looking at the heavy bag of money on the table, although Mistry wanted to refuse, he swallowed it back in the end.When faced with the temptation of official positions, Mistry was very calm. He first considered his reputation in the city, but when faced with money, he became a little less calm.

Like most children from poor families, Mistry values ​​money. If he can get so much money to go home, he will be considered to have achieved the "financial independence" he told his brother and the citizens that day!He was not actually being hypocritical at that time. Since Victor said it sincerely, he no longer refused and said with a smile: "Since the Sheriff said so, then I will accept it calmly."

He put the bag of coins in his hand, weighed the weight and said with emotion: "With this money, I can also gather enough money to study abroad..."

"Study abroad?" Victor's eyes lit up: "Does Mistry already have the school of his choice? Is this the real reason why you want to be financially independent?"

Mistry smiled and said: "Yes, I already have an ideal college in my mind, and now I have the money to study abroad. However, I still lack a highly respected person to help me match up." After saying this, he went to Wei. Ke Duo asked: "I wonder if the Sheriff can recommend me?"

"I'm a soldier? How can I be recommended?" Victor didn't understand for a moment.

Mistry quickly changed his explanation: "It's just to prepare for me and say hello to the Zhivkov family. I just want to study in Romania, just like Ivanlov of the Zhivkov family. "

It's no wonder, these days, studying in a prestigious school and having a famous teacher is not what Mistry is capable of, so he has to find a matchmaker.

The matchmaker should preferably be an official or an elder, so as to show that they attach great importance to the admission and make it difficult for the other party to refuse.Victor didn't expect this, but then he thought about it. To be a matchmaker, one must have a very close relationship, either an elder or a friend.

Even though the two of them have different paths in the future, their friendship as a matchmaker for Mistry may come in handy in the future... The world is in chaos and the future is unknown. In addition to doing his job as a soldier, In addition, there is no harm in making more friends and keeping more friendships.So Victor readily agreed, and then asked curiously: "I wonder which school you have chosen?"

Chen Ping smiled and said: "Romania, University of Bucharest. But it has to be Naomi Gurgoriescu, Ivanlov's teacher."

"Professor Naomi... we have to find the Zhivkov family." Victor shook his head. He knew that Mistry had the talent and ability to be a genius, and Naomi was a great scientist. How could he care about himself? For recommendation, I can only find Ivanlov through his connections with the two major families.

But the problem is that although the Zhivkov family appears to be at peace with him, in fact they are like enemies, fighting to the death on certain things.And after what happened last time, Victor had a grudge with Ivan and asked him to find a relationship with Ivan?Most likely not.

So Victor shook his head: "If you ask me to propose advice to Ivan on your behalf, I'm afraid it will be counterproductive."

But Mistry laughed and said: "Sir, I misunderstood. What I want to say is not the patriarch of Zhivkov." He stopped laughing and said firmly: "It is the patriarch's son Vanka!"

"Wanka?" Victor suddenly remembered the person at the banquet who liked to be the peacemaker. He was slightly surprised and had to look at Mistry again: "Then there is hope."

In early August, after the soldiers returned to the rear barracks, Victor first distributed the rewards to the soldiers stationed here, and then visited Zhivkov's house without stopping.Now that Ivan Qi is ill, Wanka is in charge of both clan and city affairs.

Victor first told Vanka that the Zhivkov family had made great contributions these days. Just persuading the defenders to surrender and maintaining subsequent order in the city were of great significance.If it can be used as a military merit, it can gain the trust of Romania for the Zhivkov family, and the property and land will be protected by the new law.

Victor first told the good news about the things he had accomplished these days, and he immediately stated his purpose: "I hope Vanka can recommend Mistry to study in Romania, and follow Ivanlov's example to find Nazimi." professor……"

Knowing that Mistry wanted to study abroad, Wanka was stunned at first, and then overjoyed!

As an intellectual in the city, Mistry has been cleared of the reputation of "stealing" and "not doing his job properly". Many people have begun to pay attention to him. They all know that since being recruited by Victor to work as a civilian in the military camp, he has received several awards. The Romanian soldiers praised each other.

What impressed Vanka most was that he also adjusted the "currency circulation" policy to give the Romanian army, the people in the city, and the two major families a win-win situation. Vanka was amazed and believed that this young man had an unlimited future.Being able to recommend him to study abroad is equivalent to making friends with Victor and Mistry at the same time. How can he not be happy?

Vanka secretly thought: "With Mistry's talent and my family's recommendation, given time, he may become a high-tech talent throughout Romania and become famous." So Victor and Vanka hit it off, and Wanka hit it off. Kallen hurriedly agreed to the matter without consulting Ivanlov.

It’s just that the war has just ended. Now that the peace agreement has been signed, Romania’s official governors are not here. All affairs are managed by the three departments themselves. Therefore, the date of studying abroad is still set for tomorrow to avoid complicated rules after the new chief takes office...

The matter was successfully accomplished in this way. Afterwards, in order to express his gratitude, Mistry made a special trip to use the money that Victor had awarded him previously and hosted a banquet for Victor in the best restaurant in the city.

……

When he heard that Mistry was going to book the entire restaurant, the restaurant owner looked him up and down in surprise, and almost made a habitual sarcastic comment, but then he remembered that this was no longer the despised, idle Chen Ping.Nowadays, Chen Ping has washed away the stigma of the past, and he is even working under the Romanian army, making people dare not look down on him.

"Mistry's family is rich now. I'm afraid he will become a rich man and enjoy himself in the future." The boss said the compliment, but in fact, in Mistry's heart, he didn't take it seriously at all.

"Rich man? You are indeed short-sighted and underestimate me."

After the shopkeeper set out the food and wine with a smile on his face, Victor also arrived. The two of them exchanged greetings across the table and sat opposite each other.After this incident, their relationship became much closer. When they were drunk, Victor couldn't help but curiously asked him why he had to go to the University of Bucharest, and even asked him by name, Professor Naomi.

"Did Mistry fancy an official position?" After all, he was a high-level intellectual. Naomi only needed a recommendation to get Ivanlov to be an official.

"Sir, stop it!" Mistry burst out laughing, amused by Victor's words.He looked around and saw that there were only two people in the restaurant, and the shopkeeper was busy with his own business from a distance, so he got closer and whispered: "There are reasons why I want to go to the University of Bucharest. One is because of Zila The wealth of the Tar family is, secondly, due to Zhivkov's local reputation and power..."

Mistry's eyes became extremely utilitarian, yet very calm. "Sir, think about it. Ivanlov was originally a poor student. After being admitted to university, he received financial support from a wealthy school and the recommendation of a professor. He suddenly became a rich man, and even entered the government and became a leisurely official. .”

"If Ivanlov can do it, then of course I can do it, and I will definitely do better than him. Ivanov won Naomi's favor and chose to be an official instead. I will choose to continue studying and want to become an official." Famous scientist!"

After hearing this, Victor finally understood that in Mistry's eyes, studying abroad was not about money and power, but about pursuing dreams.To sum it up with a famous saying - Wealth cannot be lascivious, poverty cannot be moved, and power cannot be subdued.

The end of the Second Balkan War and Bulgaria's defeat brought a huge shock to Mistry. He truly felt the trend of the times, so he began to think about his future.Although he is now working as a civilian in the military camp and receiving a lot of money a month, it is only a temporary job.

The war is over. Victor and the others will leave sooner or later, and will he return to unemployment by then?Of course Mistry will not wait for that day to come. According to his understanding of Romanian laws and systems in the past month, after Victor and the others withdraw, military control will end, and formal police, mayors, lawyers and judges will Will take up his post in Dobrich.

Should I continue to stay in Dobrich and continue to work as a clerk here to pass the qualifications?After all, he has the advantage of being bilingual, and now he also understands Romanian.But after thinking about it, he gave up the plan.

Now that the anti-Bulgarian alliance has swept across Bulgaria and Bulgaria has surrendered, the already thin identity of the "Bulgarian nation" in Mistry's heart has completely disappeared.What's more, local resources are in the hands of the two major families. Mistry's plan to develop locally cannot avoid the competition between the two major families.

The Romanian government has strict restrictions on place of origin when appointing local officials. The main officials at the county level do not need to be locals and are directly appointed by the capital from elsewhere.However, officials at the county level, as well as at the township and village levels, still use local people.Therefore, Mistry estimates that the two major local families will have the final say on Dobrich in the future.It doesn't have much to do with ordinary people.After all, his reputation in the township and his wealth are simply not comparable to the accumulation of generations of operations by the two families.

Mistry has only cleared away his past stigma, gained the attention of Zhivkov, and earned a little money that can prove that he is "self-reliant".However, this achievement is still far from my dream.

Of course, that ambition lacked one thing. It wasn't that Mistry lacked talent, he just lacked a stage to perform. Victor's presence at the time, for unknown reasons, provided him with many opportunities to express himself.

But Victor cannot stay locally forever, so he has to find a new partner for his future development... He can be very lofty and ambitious, but in practice he must be down-to-earth. This is Mistry's principle.

After hearing Mistry's true intentions, Victor couldn't help but sigh, this is indeed a historical figure, so confident in everything.He expressed his understanding of Mistry's choice. Yes, for a poor and lonely talented person like Mistry, being recommended by Zhivkov is the most convenient shortcut to success!

But Victor was quite worried: "Aren't you afraid that as a Bulgarian, you won't be able to access higher education institutions?"

"What are you afraid of? In my opinion, if I am rejected because of my identity, it means that my skills are not as good as others, and my ability is not outstanding enough, but..."

Mistry was already drunk, and he let himself go in a rare moment, laughing loudly, but his eyes were full of confidence.He patted his chest and said loudly: "Sir, don't worry, I will impress them with my talent!"

……

In mid-August, it is the hottest time of the year. The heat wave is rolling in South Dobro, the sea breeze is blowing, and the cicadas are chirping in the trees beside the road.

A team slowly walked out of the garrison camp outside the city and marched slowly north. It was Victor and his men.At this time, about two days had passed since Victor introduced Wanka.These days are peaceful in Dobrich. Apart from stepping up patrols to prevent refugees from escaping outside the city, there is nothing else to do. Everything in the local area remains as before.

Bulgaria's defeat seemed to have nothing to do with this remote town.By mid-August, as official officials were transferred to Dobroga Province, the time for Victor and his team to evacuate was getting closer and closer, and the soldiers who had been away from home for a long time could not wait.

After half a month of preparation, Victor handed over the local defense to the new sheriff - as they expected, he was indeed a local gentry.Then, he led everyone who was eager to return home and left the military camp where they had been stationed for several weeks.

Although under Victor's control, the Romanian soldiers almost achieved "no crime" in the local area, the locals did not show much gratitude to him.There is no scene in movies and TV shows where an upright official is transferred away and the people help the old and the young to stay and see them off. The only people who came to see them off were Wanka and a few of his men.

"We will remember what Chief Victor has done for this city for the citizens. As for the Chief's great kindness in protecting the family, I will also let the children of the family remember it and never dare to forget it."

Vanka asked people to prepare meat and wine, and toasted to Victor. He also asked Victor to pay tribute to the captains and soldiers under him one by one. This made the outspoken Alexei mutter: "This patriarch's son still knows the general situation." , understands the overall situation, has a bit of humanity, and is much better than Ivan.”

In the team traveling together, Mistry sat in the car and asked Victor the doubts he had hidden in his heart for a long time: "When we were drunk that day, You You said that from now on, we should regard Chen Ping as a friend. Then I I would also like to ask, sir, why did you deliberately try to help me clear my grievances when we had no communication before?"

"I have asked the factory leader and my brother, and the superior sent someone to check carefully. After learning the authenticity of the matter, he found me. After that, he asked me to work as a civilian in the military camp, gave me food, and divided me The bounty, treat me like a confidant, but what virtue and ability do I have to make the commander so interested in me?"

Mistry is a realistic person and never believes that things happen without reason. Victor's concern and support for him have exceeded common sense.At first, he was worried that Victor had bad intentions and that he might be using him as a pawn to suppress the local citizens, but later he realized that this was a misunderstanding.

Victor took the advice of his own currency and did not amass a fortune.This only made Mistry more confused and puzzled. If he could not know the reason, he would never be able to settle down.

Victor pondered for a moment, and no longer was as perfunctory as before, and smiled: "Maybe it's because when I first saw you, I felt that you were very different from ordinary people?"

"I am a commoner who has been poor and ignorant all my life. What is so special about me?"

Victor pointed at himself: "You may not believe it, but after seeing you, something suddenly flashed in my mind."

Mistry asked: "What words?"

"Mistry, you have the talent. You will be able to ride the waves in the sea of ​​science in the future, and you will be able to overcome obstacles in the forest of commerce. Although you are still an ordinary civilian now, I believe you can shine in the future."

After saying that, Victor burst out laughing and sped forward.The wheels rolled over the dirt road and swept away the dust quickly, leaving only a stunned Mistry standing there.
