Chapter 676 Closed 3

Brest Litovsk.

Brest in summer is a beautiful and wide Bug River, connecting the Principality of Kiev (present-day Ukraine), Belarus and Poland, and converges with the Mukhavitz River here.

Good waterways and convenient transportation made the city prosper rapidly. With the merger of Russia in 1795, its strategic position became more and more important, and a fortress gradually rose up.

Brest Fortress is located on four islands divided into tributaries and channels of the Mukhavits and Bug rivers. It consists of central fortifications and three bridgeheads. The central fortifications are circularly closed, 1.8 miles long and 2 meters thick. After the construction was completed in 1842, it was the same as when all fortresses were built. Li was also known as indestructible.

But it turns out that there is no fortress that cannot be destroyed in the world. When the powerful Lieyu Fortress and Tomsk collapsed, the infatuation of various countries with the fortress gradually decreased, not to mention the Brest Fortress, which has experienced nearly a hundred years of ups and downs.

The main wall of the scarlet fortress makes the whole fortress look full of Russian style, but the bullet holes on it show how fierce battles have broken out here.

The 16th Infantry Regiment from Bavaria occupied here and became the temporary owner of the fortress and the city.

Today, there is an unprecedented negotiation going on in this fortress. Either side knows that once the negotiation fails, it means more bloodshed and the lives of millions of soldiers.

"Adolf, look."

The companion of the guard side by side hit Adolf Hitler, who saw that through the river of the fortress, several soldiers in the blue and white uniforms of the Xinhua Marine Corps were spreading their guard along the road. Some of them were strangely shorter than rifles, but there was a long magazine gun underneath, which made them look awkward.

Adolf sniffed his nose. He didn't like the Chinese very much. With their victories in the Pacific Ocean, they suppressed the Allies in India and Australia. After the powerful United States could not leave their homes, he began to become arrogant. In just over 20 years, the country full of opium and poverty and the powerful Germany How ridiculous it is to sit together and talk about the division of the world.

Although he is a volunteer and an ordinary small infantryman on the battlefield, he has always believed that he will save the world, but now because of the birth of the damn arsonist, his dream of saving the world and saving Germany is quietly going away, because the German upper class at this moment has the hope of victory. It is placed in the Far East.

Adolph hummed and withdrew his eyes. Although he saw the Chinese ambassador who seemed to come to Europe instead of participating in a negotiation to decide the future of Germany, his heart was full of disdain and annoyance, because the guy named Feng Qi was too leisurely. In his opinion, as an ally, he was now two sides. When you insert the knife, instead of coming for a walk!

Feng Qi's leisure is even more to bear the anxiety and impatience of Prince Reinhardt of Germany, who came to Brest to supervise the negotiations.

"Dear Mr. Feng Qi, do you think the Russian Congress is willing to continue peace talks?"

"Yes, but I will definitely not accept our previous conditions!" Feng Qi turned her head, and the smile at the corners of her mouth slowly faded. Looking at the German prince, who had been relieved of military power because he offended William II and was not reactivated until this negotiation, she said seriously and affirmatively, "For Russia, if it loses too much, it is better to continue to fight, and Your Excellency, you should know that, There are still 13,000 British soldiers stationed in the naval fortress 30 kilometers away from St. Petersburg. The resistance forces in the central district of St. Petersburg in Russia have been contacting them. If necessary, they can fully use the weapons stored in the fortress to arm more troops, and then quickly attack St. Peter through the supplies on the Arctic route. Fort!

And more than 50,000 British and Indian armies are entering the Caspian Sea from Persia under the leadership of Allenby, preparing to join Korchak into the Don River Basin, plus Sulov and Denikin and others in Kiev. If they are all gathered together, you know how many troops Lenin needs to face. Attacking?"

Before Reinhardt could answer, Feng Qi raised three fingers to herself: "At least 3 million!"

Even if Prince Reinhardt is not old-fashioned in the military, he knows what 3 million troops mean. Judging from the two-year battle, the Russian army is not without combat effectiveness. The rough and savage Slavic young people are the best soldiers, just because of the deteriorating economy and food problems, plus the internal Lenin Soviets. The instigating the riots seriously frustrated Russia's forces. If Britain and the United States really want full support, there is really a great opportunity to put out Lenin and the Soviets in the cradle and restore the Romanov dynasty.

"Mr. Feng Qi, I believe you have analyzed a lot, but I think there is a lack of core leaders in the army such as Denikin and Gorzak at present. Although there are the support of the Allies and members of the tsarist family such as Prince Sulov, they are not heirs after all. In the absence of leadership, they may exert so much power. Is it power? But if your country releases the family of Nicholas II, then yes. Reinhardt was interrupted as he was about to take the opportunity to test it.

"The whole family of Tsar Nicholas II? What, does His Royal Highness know where he is?" Feng Qi asked knowingly and clenched her fist fiercely, "Is he still alive? That's too bad. We must send someone to kill him immediately!"

Reinhardt, who was also ready to continue to test, was choked back by Feng Qi's words. Now the whole world knows that Nicholas II is in Li Mo's hands, but no one has any evidence. In the face of Xinhua's unanimous rejection, he can only test it by sideways, but in fact, everyone knows that everyone wants to What I want is not the idiot tsar, but the wealth that is said to be extremely rich!

Seeing this answer again, Prince Reinhardt decisively changed the topic and continued: "Mr. Feng Qi, in fact, there are few ways for the British to support Russia. As long as the roads of Persia and Afghanistan are cut off, they can only take the dangerous Arctic route, so I want to ask how long it will take for your country to cut. What about the road between Persia and India to Russia?

"No, Your Excellency, you misunderstood that Persia is the territory of the Caliph of Mohammed V. As an ally, we will not enter until we get permission. As for the road from India and Afghanistan to Central Asia, we are working hard, but you know that the area is mountainous, unless there are more than 2 million The army, otherwise it would be impossible to really cut off. Feng Qi wiped a smile on the corners of her mouth and continued, "And Your Majesty has made a decision that we will go all out to solve Australia within this year. The Northwest Army is impossible to transfer because the situation in Russia is uncertain, so it is impossible to send more troops to India now, and I don't think you want to see the United States. The country begins to send more troops to Europe, right?

Feng Qi, who seemed to be like a round ball, made Prince Reinhardt unable to speak. Hearing him go around, he was unwilling to show off first. He had no choice but to ask, "Mr. Feng Qi, I know that His Majesty Li Mo also has difficulties, but I want to know how he decided to let Russia withdraw from the war as soon as possible?"

Hearing that this old guy finally spoke, Feng Qi was also secretly relieved, suddenly stopped and became serious: "Your Majesty, I believe you are also very clear that what we are doing is not a local war, but a world war, although we have now turned to Russia The country issued an ultimatum, but do you think it is really possible to hit St. Petersburg? Even if you can arrive, how much resources, manpower and cost do you need? And in the face of the endless Russian struggle in the future, how much strength can His Majesty William exert to solve it?

More importantly, the core of the treaty are the three countries of Britain, France and the United States, which are the battlefield of your country's western front. Nearly 10 million of the treaty troops there are the big trouble. I believe that the General Staff of your army must be very clear that only by gathering all your strength to win the Western Front can the war end!

Your Highness, I think you can tell His Majesty William that we have no intention of interfering in European affairs, and our country cannot transfer enough troops to Europe to fight before the end of the year.

Up to now, Russia has become the first country to fall. What we need to do is to let it fall smoothly, instead of preventing it from falling. As for the reward needed by His Majesty William, do you think it will be less after defeating Britain? There is a large area of land in Africa waiting for His Majesty William to take over. Why do we have to keep an eye on a Russia that has declined and is likely to be forced to continue to fight?

"Your Excellency Feng Qi, what you said is very reasonable, but I want to remind you that for today, we in Germany have paid hundreds of thousands of soldiers' lives and countless money on the Eastern Front. If we can't get paid, how does His Majesty the country, to the subjects, and those who are fighting for Germany? What about the soldiers' explanation?!"

Feng Qi nodded and said sincerely, "Yes, I admire the sacrifice of Germany. If it weren't for your soldiers, I think this war would have ended long ago, so Your Majesty has said many times that you should support your country appropriately. Before I left, he told me that he was willing to persuade the parliament to approve the total amount to your country. A loan package of 500 million blue coins. At the same time, he also said that he would provide urgently needed materials, including food and oil, to your country, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria and the Ottomans, through the Baghdad Railway, to help His Majesty William with practical actions.

As soon as he heard the offer, even Prince Reinhardt was short of breath. 500 million blue coins, which is equivalent to 1 billion rubles. If this loan can be obtained, it will undoubtedly be a stimulant for Germany, which has hit hard, not to mention the much-needed food, oil and other materials!

But before he could speak, Feng Qi suddenly frowned and asked, "Well, Your Excellency, after the Baghdad Railway crosses Eastenburg, there will be a period of time to pass through Serbia. I don't know where you control it?"

This question immediately stunned Prince Reinhardt, because Feng Qi was right. After departing from Eastinpur, the railway needed to pass through Serbia for a long time. Now the Greek, British and other Allied teams there have joined forces with the Serbian army, plus Romani. The response of the Asian army really can't be connected in a short period of time.

That is to say, even if Xinhua provides loans and material assistance, these things are just bright moons in the water for Germany, but they can't get them!

Thinking of this, Prince Reinhardt suddenly felt a little at a loss. In Feng Qi's eyes, a trace of light immediately flashed in his pupils. He took out the card that had been prepared for a long time and reminded him, "Your Excellency, there is actually a way."

"Oh? What's the way?"

"Cross the Black Sea from Istanbul, then transfer to Odessa and take the train into Austria-Hungary." Feng Qi sighed at this point and seemed to say worriedly, "Although this road is smooth, the railway situation is also good. Unfortunately, to face the threat of the Romanian army and the Russian army that obeys the orders of the Allies, the most important thing is that there must be the cooperation of the Russian political axe!"

"The cooperation of the Russian political axe?!"

Prince Reinhardt finally understood that if Russia withdraws, Germany and Austria-Hungary will still be sure of more than 400 kilometers of railway lines in the millions of military support area on the eastern line, and after Russia withdraws, Romania will not be able to persist. As long as the forces of Germany, Austria and Bulgaria are concentrated, it will be possible in the short term. Defeat Romania!

"Your Highness." Feng Qi looked at the distance with her eyes slanted, kept peeking at Rudolph and several German soldiers here, and smiled: "I think His Majesty William should make a visionary decision!"

It seems that in order to strengthen the chips, Feng Qi thought for a moment and approached a little and said heavily, "Prince, in fact, I can tell you now that our country will launch a general attack on Australia in early August. As long as the Australian fleet is solved, our navy will immediately attack the United States, so I believe that It is impossible for the United States to send another soldier to Europe!

Of course, in order to achieve this strategic goal, we need Russia to withdraw immediately and free up the 2 million troops in Western Siberia, otherwise we can't transfer another army in a short time!

Your Highness, with all due respect, now we need to close the doors of Australia and Russia at the same time, so that we can force the Allies to be overstretched and come to solve the last problem! Otherwise, not only Germany, but also our country will be consumed in the war. Even if we win in that way, do we still have the power to take over the huge colonial interests left by the treaty?

The news that Xinhua was going to close two doors at the same time made Prince Reinhardt take a breath, because he suddenly found a problem that Germany had been fighting only a European war, and the arsonist was actually launching a real cross-state global war!

So Germany must get out of hand as soon as possible. Otherwise, when Xinhua defeats the United States, Germany will also exhaust its vitality in the two-line battle. Even if it can defeat Britain and France in the end, I'm afraid that the world's colonies will be occupied by the Chinese!

Thinking of this, he immediately nodded solemnly: "Thank you, Your Excellency Feng Qi, for your message. I think His Majesty William will carefully consider your and His Majesty Li Mo's suggestions."

Just when there was intense negotiation and bargaining in the fortress of Brest, Lenin also walked to the window in the spacious Tsar's study of the Winter Palace. After opening the window, he found that the sky over St. Petersburg was already cloudy and closed.

Just like the suffering faced by Russia at this moment, the telegram sent back from the front line every day is full of only two words, failure, failure, failure!

From the Western Front to the Caucasus, and then to Western Siberia, the imperialist powers such as Xinhua, Germany, Austria-Hungary and Ottomans are constantly enveing on Russia. Even the former ally Britain has made it clear that it refuses to return the captured warships and Kronstadt before the situation is clear. The fortress.

13,000 British soldiers have become a meat thorn in the chest of St. Petersburg! More Allied troops are moving from the Caspian Sea into Central Asia into Russia, trying to converge the rebels of Kortsk and kill the weak Soviet regime.

He stood at the window as if he saw a terrible flood on the head-on collision, so now he must make a decision!

Overthrew the rotten tsar's rule, [***] The Soviets have made a great beginning, but now they must make a decision to eat the next extremely bitter and even highly poisonous apple!

"Stalin, go and inform everyone that I hope to hold a meeting of the Standing Committee immediately. We can't delay any longer!" Lenin took a deep breath, picked up the phone and thought about it again, and then said seriously in a low voice.

"Not for a second!"
