Expedition to Europe

Before the attack on Moscow, there was no clear distinction between the Foreign Legion and the South Russian Armed Forces.

Before the capture of Omur, the Foreign Legion and the South Russian Armed Forces were actually dominated by the Foreign Legion, and the troops of the South Russian Armed Forces were in a state of auxiliary attack, and the cooperation between the two was tacit.

But after the capture of Omur, the situation changed subtly.

It seems that the failure of the Russian Bolsheviks is inevitable, and at this time, it involves a question of post-war interest distribution.

In name, the coalition government is headed by Kolchak, and in fact, the Foreign Legion will send troops to Moscow at the request of Kolchak.

But the Foreign Legion did not act with Kolchak's troops, but mixed with Denikin's South Russian Armed Forces and attacked Moscow from the south.

So when victory was within reach, Denikin's desire inevitably began to expand.

So when the Foreign Legion proposed to continue the attack on Moscow, Denikin was not so active, as if they had already got what they wanted and began to become undemanding.

In fact, the Foreign Legion is the one that really got what it wanted. Even if the Russian Bolsheviks and the coalition government sit down to negotiate peace now, the Foreign Legion will not raise any objections.

At this moment, Liu Zizheng and Griffin received a telegram from the Foreign Legion headquarters.

"Look, this is just sent by the headquarters." In the temporary command center, Liu Zizheng handed the telegram to Griffin.

The headquarters of the Foreign Legion is currently in Trident, Corsica. Of course, this Foreign Legion refers to the Foreign Legion of Lan Fang.

The French Foreign Legion has also been rebuilt, and its headquarters is still in Algeria.

The header of the telegram indicates the "top secret" level, which is the "burn after reading" level. The content of the telegram has been encrypted multiple times, but the content is very simple: stop the attack and act accordingly.

"What does this mean?" Griffin was a little confused and asked while shaking the telegram.

Griffin's political acumen is not very high, and it is far inferior to his military sense.

"What else can it mean? It's just that the spoils are not evenly divided." Liu Zizheng curled his lips in disdain, took it and lit it with a match, and then lit a cigar.

Liu Zizheng has now left the level of smoking cigarettes and has a special liking for cigars.

Unfortunately, Liu Zizheng's way of smoking cigars is not quite right, it's still the same as smoking cigarettes. It doesn't matter if Griff sees it, but it will definitely be laughed at by experts.

"Think about it, if our Lan Fang stayed in France or Britain, would we be willing to see a unified Russia next to us? In our words, it's called, how can others snore beside my bed. In the words of foreigners, a unified Russia is equivalent to the sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of Britain and France. I don't know when it will fall. Will the British and French be willing?" Liu Zizheng's political vision is better than Griff.

Since a long time ago, the shadow of Russia has been looming over the whole of Europe. Britain, France, Germany and other countries have always been very worried that they don't know when a large group of Russian "gray animals" will shout "Ura" and flatten the whole of Europe.

Now, it is needless to say that the Germans are powerless, but it is different for Britain and France. In order to eliminate this potential danger, Britain and France have also taken great pains.

From the departure of the Foreign Legion to now, if you look at all the things together, then this is a conspiracy, a conspiracy against Russia.

First, armed intervention to consume the strength of the Russians, and then stop the attack after making certain progress. All parties sit down to negotiate peace under the mediation of Britain and France, then Russia may be divided into three or four, and Russia will not be threatened at that time.

"That means there is nothing for us to do next." Griffin didn't want to fight for a long time. This kind of cowardly fighting style has no fun at all.

"It can't be said that there is nothing for us. Maybe we need to finish it in the end. Don't look at Denikin, the old guy, who is showing off now. If we withdraw, Denikin will be dumbfounded immediately. So the headquarters means that we should defend the Oka River line, which is also the final bottom line." Liu Zizheng was also thinking.

"Okay, let the old man withdraw to them tomorrow." Griffin was ready to shrink the defense line.

"Don't worry, Lao Xiang and his men are in Tula ahead. If we ask Lao Xiang to withdraw now, Lao Xiang might scold us. Let them stay in Tula for a few days first." Liu Zizheng had bad intentions.

Tula is also a big city, and it will be the capital of Tula Province in the future. Xiang Ankang's Fourth Division is now next to Tula. It is conceivable that if Xiang Ankang is asked to withdraw now, how deep the resentment in his heart will be.

"Be careful, do less things that violate military discipline, and you are not afraid that it will be difficult to lead the troops in the future." Ge Lifu kindly reminded.

Humans are very strange creatures. It is difficult to change from evil to good, and it only takes a thought to change from good to evil.

The army is also a special group. This group is closely linked to violence. If military discipline is indulged without restriction, then once the members of the army are accustomed to indulging themselves, they will not be able to change in the future.

Although the Foreign Legion was mainly composed of French and Germans, its backbone was still Chinese, and they were professional soldiers who had been tempered in Europe. Grief might not care about the lives of the French and Germans, but he had to take responsibility for these Chinese.

"Tsk, what does it have to do with us? Let me tell you, the current illegal incidents are almost all done by the armed forces of South Russia. They have nothing to do with our Foreign Legion. Even if they are related, they are done by the French and Germans. They are not related to the Foreign Legion. We Chinese have nothing to do with it," Liu Zizheng flatly denied.

To a certain extent, what Liu Zizheng said is true.

Most of the Chinese in the Foreign Legion are low-level commanders such as company platoon commanders and sergeants. These people don't have to do anything themselves no matter what they like. Naturally, there are smart soldiers who take the initiative to share the worries of their superiors.

So in the current Omuir, the South Russian armed forces have the worst reputation, followed by the Germans, the French again, and the Chinese have the best reputation.

"You don't feel blushing either..." Griev looked down upon Liu Zizheng's sanctimony.

"Tch, if you knew what I got, you wouldn't think I'm blushing... Come on, let's show you." After Liu Zizheng finished speaking, he dragged Greif to his bedroom.

One wall in the bedroom was covered with boxes, from floor to ceiling.

Liu Zizheng pulled one out at random, placed it in the middle of the bedroom and opened it: "Look what this is?"

Inside the box was a pile of scrolls, which looked like they were antiques from the East. They were yellowish in color and antique, and looked to have been aged a bit.

"Be careful, it will break if you are not careful. These old fools don't know how to save it carefully..." Liu Zizheng kept mumbling, picked up one at random, and unfolded it carefully on the bed.

This is a figure painting. The character in the painting is unknown to Griffith, but his image with a beard and hair, flying several feet, with hair sprouting from the flesh, and with more than enough strength, is really vivid on the paper.

"Do you know who painted this?" Liu Zizheng showed off to Greif triumphantly, and without waiting for Greif's answer, he solved the mystery: "This is the authentic work of Wu Daozi, the master of the Tang Dynasty. This man is incredible. In our place Known as the 'Sage of Painting', not to mention the Republic of China, there are only a few authentic paintings in our Lanfang Museum. You don't need to think about it to know how this painting got into the hands of Lao Maozi. Lao Maozi could snatch it from us, so we can do it now I can take it back."

Greif looked at the signature in the lower left corner of the painting. Although he didn't speak, he nodded repeatedly.

If the original work of Wu Daozi is genuine, then it should indeed be snatched back.

Hey... no matter whether it is Wu Daozi's original work or not, we should take it back!

"When I get back, I will donate these paintings to our Lanfang Museum, so that all of us, young and old, will know that my trip to Russia, Liu Zizheng, was not in vain!" Liu Zizheng was proud.

Grief suddenly felt a little on pins and needles.

This person has to compare with others, and he has to throw away goods. If Liu Zizheng donated calligraphy and paintings in large and small boxes and donated cultural relics after returning to Lanfang, but Greif didn't say anything, then people wouldn't think it was because Greif abides by military discipline. Not guilty, but thought that Greif had hidden the things he had stolen...

Hidden...

Grif suddenly felt that he had to do something.

"Don't worry, you are in such a hurry to go back. I'll tell you what to do. You go to the officials of Omuir and ask them to take your people to ransack the homes of those who served in the army during the imperial period. When Those who have passed the official position will usually gain something." Liu Zi was busy making suggestions.

"Go, go, I'm robbing things and you can teach me?" Grif was dissatisfied and pushed the door open without looking back.

Liu Zizheng burst out laughing. This honest man, Ge Lifu, was led astray by Liu Zizheng.

So in the next few days, many families in Omuir City were hit, especially those who joined the army and went to the Qing Empire more than ten years ago. Their homes were ransacked more than once.

Many businessmen and officials also suffered. They all had certain financial strength and had many good things at home.

So when the Foreign Legion left Omuir, Greif's boxes filled a truck, which was not much inferior to Liu Zizheng's.

The reason why he left was because there was nothing much he could find in Omuir, and at this time Tula was already under the control of Xiang Ankang.

"I guess there aren't many good things in Tula. The real good things are all in Moscow. So, regardless of what the headquarters' orders are, or what that old guy Clemenceau said, as long as there is a chance, we will all go to Moscow." I heard it was there There are many museums, and there is also the palace of the former Tsar, which contains more rare treasures, almost all of which were snatched from our 'Lafayette'. Now it is only natural for us to snatch them back, and we can't even say anything about it..." In the car , Liu Zizheng is still brainwashing with Ge Lifu.

Griffith turned a deaf ear and was looking at the list in his hand.

Well, the list is long, enough for Grif to see from Omuir to Tula and then to Moscow.
