"Alexander Vasilievich, I think you are too optimistic. The total strength of the Ufa coalition forces is only 25, while the Russian prisoners in the German prisoner-of-war camps are more than 250 million. After the last peace talks between Moscow and Germany 80 prisoners of war were brought back from the German prisoner-of-war camps in one go, of which 50 were directly supplemented by the Bolsheviks into the Soviet Red Army."

Wang Geng sighed in his heart. Lao Maozi's mobilization ability is second to none in Europe. Before the start of the European War, Russia's population was only 1.45 million. After a single mobilization, 650 million soldiers entered active service. Although many second-line troops averaged three Only one individual can share a rifle, but the mobilization ability of this country can be seen.

In Wang Geng's previous life, when the White Guards were at their peak, the total strength of all regions had reached 150 million. Among them, the backbone of the Tsarist Russian army led 50 people to march to Moscow. As a result, the opposite side was attacked by land laws and red-terrorist armed forces. With such a huge disparity in numbers, the failure of the White Guards fighting each other is inevitable.

Later, when Kolchak retreated to Lake Baikal in desperation, he was accompanied by 50 White Guards, 75 nobles, bishops, landlords, former Tsarist Russian officers and their families. , About 100 million people froze to death on the frozen Lake Baikal, and only more than 20 people evacuated to the Far East.

"My dear Gun, didn't you and your coalition forces have wiped out 30 Soviet Red Army prisoners in the Ufa Battle? I think they will soon be persuaded to join our camp for the 20 Soviet Red Army prisoners in the prison camp. As the situation ebbs and flows, the Red Army of the Soviet Union is fighting less and less, while our troops are fighting more and more, and the victory is definitely visible!"

Kolchak looked eagerly at the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces in front of him, never giving up his attempt to persuade the king of China. Seeing that Wang Geng was frowning slightly and refused to let go, Kolchak took out a gift slip from his arms and handed it over. , his face was still a little uncomfortable, and he said in a muffled voice,

"Dear Gun, I and my people are all aware of the contribution you and the Allied Forces have made to the revival of the great Russia. You are a good friend of Russia. This is not a respect, it should be a thank you and A small reward for your subordinates’ contribution to Russia in the Battle of Ufa, if you support us all the way to Moscow to eliminate the Bolsheviks, then in the future, we will do our best to repay you for everything you have paid!”

Wang Geng was a little surprised that the Supreme Consul of the interim government of Russia played such a trick. He took it over with a smile and saw that a page was full of lists of gold and various precious jewels. The quantity of gold alone was based on the market price. The sum is probably more than 100 million U.S. dollars. Of course, at this moment, it has to be calculated in Chinese yuan, which is 200 million Chinese yuan. Zhongyuan is the most popular, most reputable and most popular currency in Asia this year.

"Alexander Vasilyevich, you have spent too much money. This is not a small sum. I don't understand these jewels, but how did you get so much gold? How can I be ashamed?" Wang Geng hehe With a smile, he gently put the gift list in his hand on the coffee table.

"Hey, my dear Gun, this is for you personally. Don't be too small. I really can't find much money here in Kazan. The gold in the treasury...is all transported to China by you. , Now these landlords and nobles would rather hold grain exchange coupons and gold bonds issued by China in their hands than hide gold jewelry. They say it is dazzling and not easy to carry. , have to be shot!"

Kolchak muttered in his heart and didn’t say anything. The grain exchange coupons and gold bonds issued by my All-Russian temporary government at the moment are all made of gold reserves, and they are entrusted to you Bank of China to issue them. I can’t give gifts the other way around. And send you gold bonds?That hurt too much the self-esteem of me, the highest consul in Russia.

In fact, with the circulation and popularization of the Chinese currency Zhongyuan, Kolchak’s all-Russian temporary government entrusted the Bank of China to issue gold bonds to assume the functions of Russia’s new currency, and the final issuance of reserve funds was not gold, but It is Zhongyuan, just like the issuance of Zhongyuan actually uses US dollars as reserves and credit reserves.

On the precarious land of Russia, this precarious all-Russian temporary government is only survived by the support of the Allied forces. At this moment, if you want to issue a new ruble, the Allies, especially the Sino-Japanese Alliance, will not agree. You poor and white Gore The Chak regime may collapse or be replaced at any time, and zheng fu's credit is completely negligible. At this time, issuing currency for you is purely throwing money into the water, so you just honestly use gold bonds and Zhongyuan first. .

"Alexander Vasilyevich, I will accept the gift you gave me. I am planning to set up a Ural charitable relief fund. The money will be donated by you and your people to this fund. When the time comes, those who have been relieved The common people will never forget your friendship today!" Wang Geng said with a smile.

"Hey...Okay, it's up to you to decide how to arrange it after I gave it to you, but what I said, gun, you must be sure, in the eyes of me and my people, there are 20 equipment If the White Guards have allied weapons, they will definitely have no problem reaching Moscow! Please support us on this point, at this moment, we must not engage in an armistice with the Bolsheviks!"

Kolchak persuaded Wang Geng earnestly, while muttering to himself, you are interfering in Russia's internal affairs, you know, have you greeted other countries of the Allied Powers?Can the United States, Britain and France agree that you and your coalition forces will stop when they hit the Volga River?Do the governments of China and Japan know that you plan to make peace with Moscow?

For this series of complaints, Alexander Vasilievich Kolchak is of course not stupid enough to question the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces in front of him face to face, but it is inevitable to secretly slander in his heart. Basically, they all followed their all-Russian interim government and withdrew to Chelyabinsk. Anyway, this government can be regarded as the successor of the Tsarist Russian government recognized within the framework of the Allied Powers.

At the moment, only the German-Austrian Allies have recognized the Soviet-Russian red regime in Moscow, and the Allied Powers and major countries in the world have looked on and refused to recognize it. The front line of Tianjin is still in the hands of the Bolsheviks.

Kolchak's all-Russian temporary government originally controlled the area from the right bank of the Volga River to the western foot of the Ural Mountains. Now it's doing well. After a battle of Ufa, the intervention of the coalition forces, and the all-Russian temporary government Institutions and organizations were evacuated to Chelyabinsk, east of the Ural Mountains.

In fact, the Ufa Great Plain is out of the direct control of the Kolchak regime, not to mention that his government is currently staying in Chelyabinsk, which is the territory of the West Siberia Autonomous Government supported by the coalition forces. Inside and outside, the area that Kolchak really controls is only from Kazan to the Kamala River, along the north of the Karama River. Sadly, because Kazan is on the front line, Ufa is directly controlled by the coalition forces .

Kolchak's temporary all-Russian government has turned into a posture of an exile government. At this moment, it is impossible to say that Ufa and the Ufa Great Plain can be brought back from the coalition forces. As for the east of the Ural Mountains , It was clearly ceded to the Sino-Japanese Alliance before. Of course, the sign hanging is still the so-called West Siberia Autonomous Government.

"Alexander Vasilyevich, I know your difficulties. Those free Russian soldiers who follow you all want to cross the Volga River one day sooner. It's you, and your hometown is also in St. Petersburg. , However, you have to eat one bite at a time. Maybe you are thinking that the Ufa coalition forces negotiated an armistice with Moscow and have to demarcate the border. Do the governments of the Allied Powers know? Can you agree?"

Wang Geng got up and poured another glass of champagne for Kolchak and himself. The two clinked glasses and took a big sip. Kolchak looked inquiring, his ears perked up quietly, and he muttered to himself. The question that he didn't dare to ask directly, the king of China is now going to reveal the answer on his own initiative, how can this not make him nervous?

"In fact, you don't have to worry about these things. The Allied Powers intervening in the situation in Russia, in addition to saving and defending the well-being of the Russian people, the Allied Powers' partner, is to attack the German-Austrian Allies on the Eastern Front. It would be great if we can help Russia reunite first. However, in fact, whether Russia can be reunified depends on the results of the Allied Powers and the German-Austrian Allies on the Eastern Front! Do you think so?"

Kolchak was taken aback when he heard the words, and instinctively wanted to refute, but found that there was no way to refute it. This is really the case. The highest consul in Russia nodded silently with difficulty, feeling a little depressed.

Seeing this, Wang Geng knew that the guy had finally regained consciousness, so he continued to point out, "The Soviet Russian regime and the Bolsheviks have sacrificed Russia's interests and achieved the armistice and peace of the German-Austrian Allies, but their cooperation The relationship is purely an exchange of interests, and in essence, the Allies are watching the Bolshevik doctrine and class struggle with a vigilant attitude."

"If Germany and Austria do not intervene in the situation in Russia, we can of course fight to Moscow and Petersburg in one go, trying to find a way to destroy the enemy, but the war will not end so quickly. Ideally, it will take at least one to two years You know, the number of proletarians who are incited by that land decree to know the truth is more than ten times the number of nobles, landlords, big capitalists, and Russian military officers who follow you."

When Wang Geng said this, Kolchak's neck stiffened, and he couldn't help distinguishing, "My dear gun, if there is no support from Germany and Austria, I dare say that as long as the coalition forces continue to fight with us, within half a year , we shall destroy the Bolsheviks!"

Wang Geng shook his head when he heard the words, "Alexander Vasilyevich, you underestimated the power of doctrine and belief. At this moment, the policies of the Bolsheviks in Soviet Russia went too far and pushed the countryside and peasants to your side, while the workers The class obviously will never go with you and your capitalists, if Ulyanov, Trotsky and the others can recover and review and adjust their ultra-left and red-terrorist policies”

"So what? Apart from confiscating everything, knocking down everything and destroying everything, what good can they do?" Kolchak shouted, waving his arms, obviously a little emotional.

"Alexander Vasilyevich, if Moscow adjusts its policy in time and continues to receive the support of Germany and Austria, the future expansion of the Soviet Russian Red Army will far exceed your imagination, and the civil war will never end quickly! This is Why do we have to truce with them and negotiate peace, only by defeating Germany and Austria can we solve the Russian problem once and for all!" The commander-in-chief of the coalition forces said firmly.
