While Eder was planning for Romania's future, its neighboring country, Ukraine, was in turmoil.
In the Independence Palace on Khreshchatyk Street in Kiev, a passionate speech was underway.
"The army of red elements is threatening the safety of Ukraine. They have formed an army in eastern Ukraine to prevent the unification of the regime. They not only deprive farmers of the last grain of food, but also fill women into the army for them to vent their anger. They are like
Locusts have swept through most of Russia. Food has been confiscated, factories have been taken over, and priests have been killed. These red plagues will not let go of Ukraine. We must stand up to prevent this tragedy from happening."
On the high platform, General Denikin spoke impassionedly about the brutality of Soviet Russia.
In the audience, Ukrainian officials, priests and capitalists gathered together, silently listening to the South Russian commander-in-chief's accusation against the Soviet Union. The upper-level personnel in Ukraine had long known about the Soviet Russian army. Look at the people present,
President Korbachev, Prime Minister Morakov, and Speaker Mikral all sat in the front row and listened carefully to the speech. From time to time, they clapped when Denikin reached the climax of his speech. They were all good listeners.
This is not to say that the three of them agreed very much with Denikin's words. Just look at the Belarusian officers and soldiers standing around the hall with guns, and you will know why there are so many good listeners.
Speaking of the current situation in Ukraine, Edel also bears part of the responsibility. Since the Romanian army wiped out nearly half of the Ukrainian army, this also caused the South Russian army commanded by Denikin to attack Moscow and retreated, entering Ukraine faster.
Facing more than 100,000 Belarusian troops, the Ukrainian army, which was basically composed of new recruits, was completely unable to stop it. Therefore, the Belarusian army, which could not benefit from the Soviet army, regained its confidence in front of the Ukrainian army. With one blow,
The Ukrainian government forces were completely unable to stop it, and even the three main Ukrainian authorities did not escape. That’s why this donation meeting was held.
After Denikin felt that he had finished speaking, he glanced at the three Ukrainian authorities nearby, and immediately made them clap their hands even more happily. Speaker Mikral even shouted loudly for this. "The general is right.
, red molecules are cancer cells, they will destroy the civilized world."
The words of Speaker Mikral made Denikin feel that he was getting angry, so he waved his hand and said: "It is our duty to resist the invasion of the red elements. As a soldier, I only know how to fight, so I can only leave the rear to you.
At present, our army has traveled thousands of miles and is short of medical treatment and medicine, which makes the soldiers unable to put down their minds and fight the enemy. So I need a batch of supplies to calm the morale of the army."
Denikin finally said jokingly: "We don't want to see the morale of the soldiers on the front line being shaken due to lack of supplies."
The people present did not understand what he was thinking, and shook their heads to express their disapproval. Some people even expressed their loyalty: "General, please don't worry, we will do our best to ensure the supply of the army, even if it costs my last kopeck."
As soon as I heard this, I knew that it must be someone who had arranged it in advance. Who was so stupid that he could use all his possessions to support these Russian government troops. Therefore, except for a limited number of people, everyone present sat silently on their chairs.
UP. Compared with the lively scene before, this is a little embarrassing.
Denikin turned a blind eye to this. It seemed that he had experienced this kind of scene frequently. Taking out a list from his pocket, Denikin continued: "Of course it is impossible to spend all our belongings. In order to prevent everyone from donating too much,
It affects my own life, so I prepared a list in advance. Each person donates as much material as possible to make the best use of it. Of course, this is a voluntary principle. If it is not enough, I will not say anything more. Finally, in order to avoid this
It’s too much work for everyone, just let our army take care of transportation and inventory.”
Denikin's words made everyone present look ugly. He said it was based on the principle of voluntariness. Look at the heavily armed Russian officers and soldiers behind you. Do you want to volunteer? The Russians are robbers, and they even send people to monitor them. The United States
It's called counting. Have you ever watched someone else's house and counted supplies?
"Okay, I'll read the list next."
"Mr. Dotovsky, 3,200 tons of grain and 300 tons of meat."
The person whose name was read was Dotovsky, a famous grain merchant in Kiev. Even he turned pale after hearing such a large amount and even wanted to say something. But when he saw someone staring at him fiercely from behind
The Russian officers and soldiers swallowed their words again.
"Mr. Balquez, two thousand tons of grain, eleven hundred tons of fodder, and two hundred and forty horses."
"Mr. Monlks, two thousand tons of grain, sixty-seven trucks."
"Mr. Monat..."
As Denikin spoke out his names one by one, everyone whose name was read looked unhappy and their hearts were bleeding. The supplies on the list accounted for almost half of the total belongings. This was completely robbery.
But do you need money or your life?
I saw that when I read one of them, he probably felt too much pain. He got up again and defended. "I don't have so many things at home, can I have less."
Everyone present knew each other. This was a businessman running a hardware business in Cherkasy. His name was Anderson, a Jew. People who were familiar with him knew that he was usually a bit stingy.
Denikin stopped reading the list and asked him with an unkind expression, "Is it really not enough?"
I don’t know what Anderson was thinking, so he followed the words and replied: “It’s really not enough.”
Denikin waved his hand and said: "Forget it, let's send this gentleman out."
Before the man could understand, two thick soldiers came forward to hold him up and walked towards the door. Looking at the actions of the soldiers around him, Anderson, who had some understanding, quickly shouted loudly: "I remembered,
The list of supplies is enough.”
Anderson's loud shouting turned a deaf ear to Denikin. His eyes roamed back and forth in the venue. People he saw did not dare to look at him and couldn't help but lower their heads.
Anderson was dragged out while shouting, and no one at the scene dared to intercede. Not long after, an officer walked in, and careful people found fresh blood on his trousers. The result made people feel chilly and depressed.
Really unexpected.
The officer loudly reported to Denikin: "Report to the general that Mr. Anderson died in a car accident after he walked out of the door."
After Denikin nodded to indicate that he knew, he said calmly: "Mr. Anderson, this is too careless. It really makes me sad."
These words made many people feel uncomfortable and depressed, and also dispelled many people's luck.
The next donation meeting went surprisingly smoothly, and no one had any objections to the share designated by Denikin. This meeting set a new record for Ukraine, and there was no more nonsense to make everyone red-faced. It was perfect.
.
After the meeting, of course everyone went home under the escort of the White Russian army.
After returning to his home, Prime Minister Morakov was very angry. The Ukrainian government's face was mercilessly stripped off by Denikin. Now he regrets taking over the position of prime minister. He thought it was the beginning of a meteoric rise.
, who would have thought it would be like this. If he had known it was like this, why would he come here from Vinnitsa? He is not the right prime minister.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but weigh the pros and cons. After all, he wouldn't have been able to get a position like prime minister if it hadn't been for chance.
After thinking about it, he finally sighed. He was really not destined to be the prime minister, so he called a servant who was deeply trusted by him.
"We can't stay in Kiev anymore. Maurice, you will go back to your hometown of Vinnytsia soon. Let the people in your hometown prepare and prepare to secretly take us back."
Morris has been Morakov's playmate since he was a child. He knows everything and is reliable. Many of his non-local affairs are handled by him very well. After he came to Kiev to become Prime Minister, Morris, as a confidant, was of course also taken care of by him.
He took it with him.
Facing Morakov's order, Morris knew the seriousness of the matter and still wanted to go home secretly. So his expression tightened and he nodded cautiously to show that he understood.
After seeing Maurice off, Morakov called another servant. "Go and fetch Tikko for me, and tell him I'll treat him to dinner."
"Yes, sir."
In fact, Morakov is not the only one who plans to leave this place of right and wrong. President Korbachev and Speaker of Parliament Mikral are both looking for their own escape routes. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Ukraine and even the Belarusian army are
It can't be stopped, let alone the more powerful Red Russia. Then, leaving this place of right and wrong is the best choice.
What’s interesting is that like Morakov’s choice, Western Ukraine, which is still under Romanian occupation, has become the top choice of the two. After all, they have either the president or the speaker of parliament on their heads. If they leave the land of Ukraine, who can
Use them as food. No one wants to seek refuge in other countries unless it is absolutely necessary.
Edel, who is far away in Bucharest, has no idea what the three Ukrainians are thinking. Now he is busy asking the government to prepare to receive supplies from the German army.
