African Entrepreneurship Records 2

Chapter 1301 The General Escapes
In addition to strengthening themselves and gaining official titles, the money in Kazan is also what the members of the Berezovka gang value most. They can make a lot of money by collecting some "protection fees" in the city.

As for all this, Berezovka chose to turn a blind eye. As long as his men did not interfere with the actions of the National Defense Security Service, everything would be fine.

At this time, a large part of the western part of Kazan had been controlled by the East African Defense Security Agency.

In an inconspicuous building complex, this is the location of the Kazan Treasury. Such important places often look simple and unpretentious in appearance.

The East African Defense Security Agency is loading the treasures from the underground vault into trucks one box at a time and then transporting them to the dock.

The city of Kazan was built along the Volga River, so this wealth was evacuated from Kazan in batches by the East African Defense Security Agency through both land and water transportation.

Prior to this, the NSA had set up several secret bases along the Volga River to ensure the safety of this wealth, and bribed Russian officials along the route to allow these ships to pass.

At the same time, for safety reasons, all the staff escorting the treasure were disguised as Russian soldiers. At present, Russia was in chaos and most people would not be so blind as to offend the army.

After all, the Russian army's discipline is not very good, especially in such turbulent times, no one would go up to cause trouble when seeing the army.

Moreover, the East African National Defense Security Agency was not worried at all that someone would discover their identities. After all, order in Russia had basically collapsed, so it was not surprising that an army would suddenly appear from nowhere.

This treasure will eventually reach the Caspian Sea, and then be transported back to East Africa via warships from the Persian Gulf. Passing through Persia is currently the safest route, because most other places are battlefields, and the Siberian route is too far.

……

Two weeks later.

The news of the fall of Kazan has spread throughout Russia. After all, it is also a big city in Tsarist Russia, and the Kazan Army is also a very famous organization.

After all, the Kazan Army was an organization that had no presence in Russia before. They belonged neither to the old aristocracy, nor to the Provisional Government, nor to the Labor Party.

The origin of this armed force was then revealed. They were considered by various Russian forces to be a relatively lucky group of "horse bandits". Horse bandits were rampant in Russia, so it was not surprising that a group of horse bandits of this size appeared during turbulent times.

The only thing that made the Kazan Army worthy of attention from all parties was that they captured Kazan, a large Russian city with a long history.

During this period, the National Defense Security Agency's operations in Kazan also entered the final stage. After deceiving the Russians into joining the Kazan Army, most of the core personnel of the National Defense Security Agency withdrew.

Those who did not withdraw were the members of the Kazan Army headed by Berezovka and others.

In a conference room in the Kazan mayor's residence, more than twenty people were holding a meeting, and Berezovka was sitting on the sofa in the conference room.

These twenty or so people are the backbone of the current Kazan Army and are also the most core personnel stationed in the Kazan Army by the National Defense Security Agency.

"Commander Berezovka, now that the main force has withdrawn, when will we break away from the Kazan Army?" asked a Kazan Army brigade commander.

With the capture of Kazan, the size of the Kazan Army expanded rapidly from more than 10,000 people to more than 40,000 people.

These people were divided into six brigades by Berezovka. The commanders of three of the brigades were from the National Security Service, and the commanders of the other three brigades, including Berezovka's "confidant" Chubalov, were all leaders of the bandits around Kazan.

Berezovka said: "We cannot withdraw from here immediately. According to the order from our superiors, we have to stay here until the beginning of next year, which is about a month."

"Before that, we have to do a good job of finishing the work, destroy all evidence, and not leave any clues. But you don't need to worry. We should be able to return home by the beginning of next year."

"According to information disclosed by our superiors, most of our people are going to leave Russia this time. We must do everything we can before that."

Why the East African Defense Security Agency wants to withdraw from Russia is actually a complicated issue. After all, over the past few years, East Africa’s investment in the Russian intelligence system can be said to be quite large.

The early equipment of the Kazan Army alone wasted a lot of manpower. After all, the equipment of 10,000 people is not a small number.

During the entire World War I, East Africa spent the most on infiltration of Russia, and it was unreasonable that the intelligence system and personal connections that took so much effort to build were abandoned in just a few months. Ernst had no choice but to ask the National Security Agency to withdraw from Russia. After all, the Russian Labor Party was not an easy target to deal with.

First of all, the Russian Labor Party is good at organizing the masses, which is very unfavorable for the intelligence agencies of other countries to carry out their work.

Secondly, Russia’s intelligence agencies in the past, especially the several intelligence agencies established by the Labor Party, can be said to be famous all over the world.

If Ernst's prediction comes true, the Russian Labor Party should set up the "Cheka" intelligence agency at the end of this year.

When it comes to underground work, the Russian Labor Party can be said to be very professional. After all, they used to deal with Tsarist Russia's intelligence system, police department, army and other powerful departments.

Without some skills, how could they have grown and prospered in Russia? They would have been thrown into prison by the Tsarist government long ago.

Take the Labor Party leader Vladimir for example. He was arrested many times by the Russian government and was even exiled to Siberia.

Vladimir's experience alone shows how frequently they were exposed to underground work, and it is no exaggeration to say that there is no organization in the world with more experience than the European Labour Party.

Although the East African Defense and Security Agency is more professional, it does not have the ability to conduct intelligence work in prisons.

Of course, these are not the problems that Ernst is most worried about. What Ernst is most worried about is that he will end up losing more than he gains.

Previous experiences in the United States and Britain told Ernst that intelligence personnel who did not have firm "capitalist" or "feudal" thinking were likely to be subverted by the Labour Party.

Don’t let the situation happen that the intelligence work in East Africa under the Labour Party regime does not achieve much, but instead cultivates a group of reformed “Labour Party” elements who flow back to East Africa. Ernst would be in trouble then.

In addition to the above-mentioned Labor Party reasons, another reason why Ernst withdrew the National Security Agency was the collapse and disintegration of the old order in Russia.

After all, in the past, East Africa's infiltration into Russia was mainly achieved through the old Russian aristocracy and bureaucrats, and this group of people will obviously be swept into the dustbin of history by the Russian Labor Party.

As a result, the "network of favors" and "bribery" relationship chains established by the National Defense Security Bureau in the past have basically been destroyed.

And as mentioned before, Russia's intelligence expenses for East Africa are not a small amount. The salaries of tens of thousands of East African spies, activity funds and other expenses have reached an extremely terrifying level.

Of course, East Africa's income is also quite exaggerated. To put it bluntly, the treasures in the Kazan treasury alone have brought East Africa huge profits. The gold income alone has reached an astonishing 200 tons. In addition, there are a large number of cultural relics, artworks and other valuable items.

A month later.

1918 1 Month 4 Day.

When the Kazan Army was preparing to make a big move in the new year, Chubalov and other Kazan Army generals were surprised to find that hundreds of people, including the Kazan Army leader Berezovka, had "run away".

According to the last eyewitness soldier, Berezovka left last night with hundreds of people on several steamers at the Volga River port pier in Kazan.

This made Chubalov and others at a loss. Who would dare to believe that when the Kazan Army was thriving, their general would run away with his confidants?

Of course, Chubalov, the "confidant", was still there, which prevented the Kazan Army from disbanding on the spot. So he was elected as the new leader of the Kazan Army, General Chubalov.

General Chubalov and the Kazan Army he led were also called the "Chubalov Gang" by the Russian Labor Party, which caused considerable trouble in the Russian Labor Party's unification of the country and in the subsequent anti-imperialist intervention war.

As for the runaway "Berezovka", it has also become an unsolved mystery in the world. After all, the Kazan Treasury has a close relationship with this Berezovka.

In later generations, there were many speculations about Berezovka's identity. Some said that Berezovka was Nicholas II's confidant, some said that he was a German spy, and some even speculated that he took his wealth to the United States...
