I'm playing whack-a-mole in Siberia

Chapter 259 Password

The engagement of George and Anne received widespread attention from the German media. Anne came to Vladivostok with George because she could not bear the disturbance.

After the disintegration of the Alliance of Three Emperors, the relationship between Germany and Russia gradually became alienated, so George could understand why the German media paid so much attention to Vladivostok.

An increasingly powerful Vladivostok is definitely not a good thing for Germany.

So there is a special report about the Chinese New Year.

George didn't even notice it.

Milyugin reminded George to be careful, as tigers are harmful to people, but tigers are harmful to people's hearts.

Vladivostok is Vladivostok in the Russian Empire.

Huang Huayi's theory is not entirely unfounded. The proportion of Chinese in Vladivostok indeed exceeds that of Russians. This is not a matter of four or two weights, and it cannot be weighed by a thousand kilograms.

"I don't want to introduce Chinese people, but please tell me, how can Amur develop if we don't rely on Chinese people?"

George was very angry, and the consequences were hard to say.

If this were the Russian media, George would have sent someone to knock on the door.

The German media is still very troublesome. What if it is a trap?

"If you can steadily bring in 10 - no, Russians every year, I will deport all the Chinese in Amur - if you can't, tell me what I should do?"

George can't help it. Population is productivity these days.

In the era before industrial robots appeared, almost all factories were labor-intensive industries.

Even when Americans built the Pacific Railway, they hired a large number of Chinese workers.

Without the participation of the Chinese, Amur would be just a backwater.

"George, I don't mean to accuse you, but you have to consider the attitude of St. Petersburg."

Milyutin is an experienced man and immediately discerned the dangers of the Germans.

The Germans are really not worried about Amur yellowing.

Rather, it was hoped that the Russian Empire would fall into civil strife.

A lifeless Vladivostok is useless to the Russian Empire.

A powerful Vladivostok would bring more than just domination of the East to the Russian Empire.

The strategic depth of the Russian Empire was already deep enough.

With the addition of Vladivostok, the strategic depth of the Russian Empire will increase from 2500 kilometers to 10000 kilometers.

This would make the Russian Empire invincible no matter what circumstances it faced.

So the crux of the matter is.

What do you think of St. Petersburg?

"No one knows the situation in Amur better than His Majesty."

George still has confidence in the Tsar, and Yasan will not change his attitude towards Amul just because of a German media report.

"George, you may not realize that Amul's development speed has exceeded everyone's expectations."

Milyutin is not optimistic. The better Amur is, the greater the threat George will pose to the empire.

The Tsar's concerns about Amur were indeed increasing.

Just after March, Count Vorontsov Dashkov arrived in Vladivostok from St. Petersburg.

Counting the time, when Dashkov set off from St. Petersburg, the German report had not yet appeared in the newspapers.

Dashkov, like Yusupov, came from a prominent family in the Russian Empire.

The relationship between Vorontsov and Yasan was very good. Nicholas often held banquets at the Vorontsov family. George had met several countesses in the Vorontsov family.

how to say--

If Nicholas didn't insist on marrying a German.

The Countesses of the Vorontsov family are all good marriage partners. George and Milyutin went to the dock to meet Vorontsov.

Vorontsov was very affectionate to George and respectful to Milyutin, and everything seemed normal.

George placed Vorontsov in the Guest House. On the first day Vorontsov moved in, he posed a problem to George.

A considerable number of the service staff at the guest house are girls hired from Korea.

On his first night of stay, Vorontsov violated a Korean girl. According to the laws of Vladivostok, Vorontsov had to go to the mine to dig until he died.

"Give the girl a sum of money, send her back to Goryeo, and replace all the service staff around the count with men."

George is on guard against the danger.

Mikhail hesitated to speak.

It wouldn't work if they were all men. The high-ranking nobles of the Russian Empire are all cold-blooded, just in case.

"Won't you choose a few powerful and ugly men to serve the count?"

George had nothing to do. If Vorontsov could say this, George could only say that you are happy.

The day after Vorontsov arrived in Vladivostok, he came to Yuriev Palace to visit Catherine.

Unfortunately, Ekaterina has not been feeling well these days, so she did not see Vrontsov.

On the third day after arriving in Vladivostok, Vrontsov went to the Vladivostok Steel Plant and Vladivostok Hospital.

On the fifth day, Frontsov went to Xizhuang on the outskirts of Vladivostok and visited Xizhuang Primary School.

On the tenth day, Vrontsov proposed to go to Yuriev, but failed to make the trip.

The snow this winter was a bit heavy, and Yuriev's external traffic was completely cut off. If Vrontsov wanted to go to Yuriev, he would have to wait at least until the end of April or the beginning of May.

George did not regard Frontsov in a different light because of his relationship with the Tsar.

He was indeed very busy during this time.

After Yankov sent troops, the riots in Aceh quickly subsided. During the follow-up processing, Yankov discovered two British and two Americans among the striking workers.

The British are not surprised. George would be surprised if the British were not involved in this kind of thing.

Americans are weirder.

The relationship between the Russian Empire and the United States has always been good. George also set up a factory in the United States to produce cars last year. Ordinarily, the Americans have no reason to target George.

But who can say clearly about this kind of thing? A powerful Amur is also a threat to the United States.

The strange thing about this matter is that the day after Yankov sent a telegram to Vladivostok, London learned of the situation, so the British Minister in Vladivostok, Walter, took the initiative to come to George and asked George to ensure the safety of the two British people. .

"Why did you come to me about this? Shouldn't you negotiate with the Aceh people?"

George was really in no mood to deal with Hua Shen.

Yankov's telegram to George was sent in code.

The British were able to get the news so quickly that George suspected that the code used by Yankov had been leaked.

Compared with the strike, password leakage is what George is really worried about.

The current global communication networks are controlled by the UK, which facilitates the UK's monitoring of telegrams.

Aceh's submarine optical cable was just laid not long ago.

If your password is compromised, it's not just a matter of changing it.

Communication networks were controlled by the British and were always a threat to the Russian Empire.

But if a communication network is rebuilt to circumvent British surveillance, the project is too big, and George simply can't do it now.
