Yingtong's surname is Pang, and his first name is Xiude. As his name suggests, he is a gentle middle-aged man. He hasn't even scolded the soldiers under him, so Lin Yuan handed over the prisoner-of-war camp to him with confidence. Having said that, I couldn't help asking in surprise: "Mystery? What's so mysterious?"

Pang Xiude thought for a while and said, "I can't say, they are different from others, and our interpreter can't understand what they say."

Lin Yuan asked, "Don't understand? Then how did they know what to do in the prisoner-of-war camp?"

Pang Xiude said with a smile: "Fools celebrate the New Year, learn from the neighbors. This group of people watch others when they do things, and they do whatever others do.

Lin Yuan asked, "They don't speak a dialect of Russian, do they?"

Pang Xiude said: "It's really not true. They can write. Our translator used pen and paper to write Russian, but they couldn't understand it."

Lin Yuan thought: "This is strange, why don't Russians speak Russian?"

When they arrived at the prisoner-of-war camp, Pang Xiude called out the leader. Lin Yuan met him in the interrogation room. A middle-aged man came in with blond hair and light blue eyes. Lin Yuan asked in Russian: "You Just what name?"

The prisoner of war did not speak, but looked at him coldly, and then said something, which Lin Yuan did not understand. He took the pen and paper and motioned him to write on it, trying to figure out which country he was from.

The prisoner of war looked at the pen and paper, seemed to understand what he meant, and wrote a line of words on the paper. Lin Yuan took it over and saw that there were Latin letters on it. It seemed that this person’s language was from the Latin family. Those syllables composed of Latin letters were spelled out in English in a low voice. This is just a meaningless personal habit. He spelled a few words, but found that he couldn't spell them, so he took the paper, turned around and went out, thinking Send the letters on the paper back to the Beijing ship and let them determine what language it is.

The moment Lin Yuan turned to go out, the man behind him said that he was actually speaking English. He asked Lin Yuan: "Do you speak English?"

Lin Yuan was also very surprised, thinking: "He can speak English, how could the translator not know it!" They have all learned English before, but the translators in Lin Yuanjun's army in this era are all businessmen. These businessmen only know Russian because they do business with Russians. As for English, they don't understand at all.

Lin Yuan turned around and asked in surprise, "You can actually speak English? Where are you from?"

The prisoner replied in English: "I'm from Warsaw."

Without even thinking about it, Lin Yuan said directly, "Oh, so you are a Polish." The prisoner's eyes flashed with excitement, and he thanked him again and again, which stunned Lin Yuan. Didn't he just say that he was a Polish? ?Why should he thank you? It took a while to remember that at this time, there is no country Poland on earth, because it has been divided up by Russia, Prussia and Austria.

The prisoner of war said: "My name is Mutter. I am one of the leaders of the Polish independence movement. I was exiled to Siberia. As soon as the war broke out, we were pulled into the army until we were caught by you."

Lin Yuan asked, "Then how can you speak English?"

Mutter laughs: "I majored in chemistry at Cambridge University, spent five years studying there, then worked in chemical factories in England, and then came back to Poland to lead the independence movement."

Lin Yuan thought for a while and asked, "You don't know Russian, so how do you talk to others in the army?"

Mutter said: "We have a special battalion, which we call the Polish battalion. The officers of this battalion can speak Russian, but they separated from us." Lin Yuan asked: "Do you want to go back? Back to your own motherland."

Mu Te nodded and said, "Of course!"

Lin Yuan said: "If you can help us take down Sanxing City, I will help you return to the motherland."

There was a joyful light in Mutter's eyes, and he asked, "How do you want me to help you?"

Lin Yuan asked: "Didn't you say you have a Polish battalion? I wonder what the soldiers in this Polish battalion think? Do you also want Poland to be independent?"

Mutter said: "The Polish Battalion is just our own name. We Poles only make up a part of it. There are also Ukrainians, Lithuanians, and Belarusians, all of whom were enslaved by the Tsar."

Lin Yuan said: "Can you call this Polish battalion to revolt in the city? You just need to open the city gate, and we will attack."

Mu Te nodded and said, "Our Polish battalion has always been responsible for standing guard at the gate of the city, but I don't know how many people from the Polish battalion retreated to Sanxing City after the Battle of Sanchakou?"

Lin Yuan thought for a while and said, "Well, let me take you to the city gate. Are you guarding the gate by yourself?"

Mutt agreed, and Lin Yuan took him to the east gate and handed him the binoculars. Mutt looked at the city wall for a long time with the binoculars, shook his head, and looked at the two city gates in succession. Lin Yuan had almost given up on this plan when he arrived at the south gate without finding his own people. Mutt looked at the people on the city wall and said suddenly: "So our people are all here."

Lin Yuan said: "Well, let's start at the south gate. My plan is this. I will have people escort you to work outside the city. When the time comes, you can knock them unconscious with sticks and run away. I believe that the people in the city It's already a panic now, and no one will care about your sudden escape."

Mutt nodded in agreement, and just as they turned to go back, Mutt asked, "General Lin, which country did you buy your telescope from?"

Lin Yuan’s telescope was brought from the Beijing ship, and he replied: “We made it ourselves, what’s wrong?” Mutter said: “I’m a chemist, and I know very well the production process and imaging quality of glass. , I think the lens on your telescope seems to have surpassed our time."

Lin Yuan laughed and said, "What are you thinking about? What is beyond our time? We have our own factory. If you want, you can come and work with us." After speaking, Lin Yuan thought: "How can there be A factory? The inorganic salt industry is just getting started."

Moot nodded and smiled: "It is of course a good thing to have access to the latest technology. With the latest technology, we will not be enslaved by foreign races."

Lin Yuan hurriedly put the topic aside, he said: "If all goes well, when the city gate opens, you will hang the Russian flag upside down, and we will rush over when we see the signal."

Things went very smoothly. Mutter and the dozen or so people escaped while digging trenches outside the city and returned to the city. Alekov immediately summoned them, but Alekov didn't think of Lin Yuan's plan, but After asking Moote about Lin Yuan's situation, Lin Yuan specifically told Mote that when the senior leaders of the Russian army asked about me, they should just speak in a strong way. If we can scare them away, our affairs will be much easier. up.

On the fifth day after Mutt returned to the city, that is, on May [-]th, when the morning light first came, the white, blue, and red tricolor flag on the south gate was lowered, and after a while, the red, blue, and white flags were raised. The tricolor flag, and then the gate slowly opened.

An elite small detachment rushed into the city quickly and occupied the gate of the city. Without the knowledge of the Russian army in the city, a large force entered the city.
