Before the attack on Moscow, there was no clear distinction between the Foreign Legion and the South Russian armed forces.
Before the capture of Omuir, the Foreign Legion and the South Russian Armed Forces were actually dominated by the Foreign Legion. The South Russian Armed Forces were in a auxiliary offensive state, and the cooperation between the two was fairly tacit.
But after the capture of Omuir, the situation changed subtly.
It seems that the defeat of the Russian Bolsheviks is inevitable. At this time, it involves the issue of distribution of post-war benefits.
Nominally, the coalition government was headed by Kolchak. In fact, the Foreign Legion sent troops to Moscow precisely at Kolchak's request.
However, the Foreign Legion did not act together with Kolchak's troops. Instead, it mixed with Denikin's South Russian armed forces and attacked Moscow from the south.
So when it seemed that victory was within easy reach, Denikin's feelings of inevitability began to swell.
Therefore, when the Foreign Legion proposed to continue attacking Moscow, Denikin was not so active, as if they had already got what they wanted and began to have no desires.
In fact, the Foreign Legion is the one who really got what they 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 time, Liu Zizheng and Greif received a telegram from the Foreign Legion headquarters.
Look, this has just been sent from the headquarters. In the temporary headquarters, Liu Zizheng handed the telegram to Greif.
The headquarters of the Foreign Legion is currently in the city of Trident, Corsica. Of course, this Foreign Legion refers to the Foreign Legion in Lanfang.
The French Foreign Legion has also been re-established and its headquarters is still in Algeria.
The header of the telegram indicates the top secret level, which is a level that will be destroyed after reading. The contents of the telegram have been encrypted multiple times, but the content is very simple: stop attacking and act with camera.
Griffith didn't understand what this meant, so he held the telegram in his arms and asked.
Greif's political acumen was not very high, and was far inferior to his military acumen.
What else could it mean, the spoils were divided unevenly? Liu Zizheng curled his lips disdainfully, took it and lit it with a match, then lit a cigar.
Liu Zizheng is no longer a cigarette smoker and has a soft spot for cigars.
It's a pity that Liu Zizheng's way of smoking cigars is not right, it is still the same as smoking cigarettes. It doesn't matter to Griffith when he sees it. If it falls into the eyes of an expert, it will definitely make him laugh.
Think about it, if we, Lanfang, stayed in France or the UK, would we be willing to see the presence of a United Russia next to us? In our words, there is no way for others to snore next to the bed. In foreigners' terms, United Russia is a united Russia.
Russia is like the sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of Britain and France. I don't know when it will fall. Can the British and French be willing to have Liu Zizheng's political vision be stronger than that of Greif?
Since a long time ago, the shadow of Russia has shrouded the entire Europe. Countries such as Britain, France, and Germany have always been worried that at some point, large groups of Russian gray animals will bulldoze the entire Europe with shouts of "Ula".
Now it goes without saying that the Germans are powerless, but Britain and France are different. In order to eliminate this potential danger, Britain and France have also taken great pains.
From the expedition of the Foreign Legion to the present, if we look at everything together, then this is a conspiracy, a conspiracy against Russia.
First, there is armed intervention to consume the strength of the Russians, and then the offensive is stopped after gaining a certain amount of progress. All parties sit down and negotiate peace under the mediation of Britain and France. Then Russia may be divided into three or four countries. At that time, Russia
There will be no threats.
That means we won't have anything to do next. Griffith has long since wanted to fight, and there is nothing enjoyable about this kind of cowardly fighting style.
We can't say that nothing will happen without us. Maybe we need to finish the job in the end. Don't look at this old boy Denikin. If we withdraw, Denikin will be dumbfounded immediately. So the headquarters wants us to hold the Oka River.
The first line, this is also the final bottom line. Liu Zizheng is also planning.
Let Lao withdraw to them tomorrow. Greif is preparing to shrink the defense line.
Don't worry, Lao Xiang and the others are in front of Tula. Let Lao Xiang withdraw now. Lao Xiang may scold us, but they will stay in Tula for a few days first. Liu Zizheng has no good intentions.
Tula is also a big city and will be the capital of Tula Region in the future. Xiang Ankang's 4th Division is right next to Tula. You can imagine how deep the resentment in Xiang Ankang's heart will be if Xiang Ankang is withdrawn now.
You should be careful and do less things that violate military discipline. You won't be afraid that it will be difficult to lead the troops in the future. Greif kindly reminded you.
Human beings are very strange creatures. It is very difficult to go from evil to good, but from good to evil is just a matter of thought.
The military is also a special group. This group is closely associated with violence. If the indulgence of military discipline is not restricted, then once the members of the military become accustomed to indulging themselves, they will not be able to change it in the future.
Although the Foreign Legion is mainly composed of French and Germans, after all, the backbone is still Chinese, and they are professional soldiers who have experienced Europe's tempering. Greif may not care about the life and death of the French and Germans, but for these Chinese, Greif must be responsible
Take responsibility.
Don't worry, it's none of our business. 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 have nothing to do with us Chinese.
It has nothing to do with it at all. Liu Zizheng flatly denied it.
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 think Blush Griffith looks down on Liu Zizheng's sanctimony either.
Tsk, if you knew what I got, you wouldn't think that I'm blushing. I'll show you what I've got. After Liu Zizheng finished speaking, he dragged Greif to his bedroom.
One wall in the bedroom was filled with boxes, from the floor to the 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 had an antique look, and they looked like they had 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 clouds, flying several feet, with hair sprouting from the roots, and with more than enough strength, really comes to life on the paper.
Do you know who painted this? Liu Zizheng was proudly showing off to Greif. Without waiting for Greif's answer, he solved the mystery: This is an authentic work by Wu Daozi, a master of the Tang Dynasty. This man is incredible. He is known as the sage of painting in our place.
Nowadays, let alone 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. If Lao Maozi could snatch it from us in the first place, we can take it back now.
Griffith 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, you 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 was not in vain. Liu Zizheng is proud of himself.
Grief suddenly felt a little on pins and needles.
This man has to compare with others, and he has to throw away goods. If Liu Zizheng donated calligraphy, paintings and cultural relics in large and small boxes after returning to Lanfang, but Greif didn't say anything, then people wouldn't think it was because Greif abides by military discipline.
He is not guilty, but thinks that Griffith hid the things he robbed.
Hidden
Grief 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 search the homes of those who were in the army during the imperial period.
Officials will usually achieve something. Liu Zi is busy making suggestions.
Go, go, I can still make Graves dissatisfied with grabbing things, so he pushed the door open and left without looking back.
Liu Zizheng burst out laughing. This honest man, Griffith, had been 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 have also suffered. They all have certain financial strength and have many good things at home.
So when the Foreign Legion left Omuir, Greif's suitcases filled a truck, which was not much inferior to Liu Zizheng's.
The reason why I left was because I really couldn't find anything in Omuir, and at this time Tula was already under the control of Ankang Division.
There probably 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.
Circle, I heard that there are many museums there, as well as the former Tsar's palace, which contains more rare treasures, almost all of which were snatched from our old Buddha. Now it is only natural that we should snatch them back, and we can't even care about the cars.
Here, 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.
