It can be said that as long as Ishkasim has enough air protection at this moment, it is no different from the rear base of the Dragon Army. It is precisely at this time that a piece of information from Kabul caused Feng Yuxiang to fall into conflict.According to intelligence, after Bryan's troops were wiped out, the British War Department held a special meeting, possibly unilaterally bypassing the Congress, and launching a larger-scale military strike against Afghanistan to regain the lost land.Feng Yuxiang knew better than anyone that before the arrival of the follow-up troops, it was very difficult for him to independently support the northern region of Afghanistan with his current military strength. Once a large number of enemy ground troops arrived, it was still unknown whether he would be able to resist.There are only two paths in front of him. One is to hope that China and the UK can reach a peace agreement to end the war. However, the possibility of this seems very slim at present.The other is to withdraw the troops to the south and establish a solid defense line before the arrival of the enemy's large forces.If this is the case, it means that the Ishkasim and the surrounding areas that have been eaten in the mouth will be spit out. The industrial base of Afghanistan is in the north. Although it is not strong, various material reserves can also make His troops have been supporting for a while.

"Tear it down! Fuck it all back. Since we are going to evacuate Ishkasim, let's take back everything we can! What do you think?" Just as these generals were in the conference room While drinking tea and eating, chatting to express his pressure, Feng Yuxiang suddenly stood up and said.

"I agree, our supply lines are stretched too far, and the important supplies needed by the troops cannot be delivered in time, so we have to do so at the moment. We found no less than 150 vehicles on the battlefield and in the warehouse in Ishkasim All kinds of British tanks, although many tanks have suffered serious wear and tear because they are not equipped with sand filter engines, they are still worth repairing after all, and there are various ammunition and weapons, which are enough for us." Song Zheyuan said firmly .

Middle East Storm Chapter 765 Post-war Conspiracy

"Yes, that's what I mean. The northern region is not stable. Instead of these materials falling back into the hands of the British, it is better for us to dismantle them in advance. For the reconstruction of Afghanistan, we can use what we get here to open factories in southern Afghanistan. In addition, I want to build a military railway from Ishkasim to Kabul through Charikal, and it is not wise to transport such things as railway equipment, steel rails, and locomotives from within the country, so I think it is better to use local materials.” Feng Yuxiang said.

"Commander-in-Chief, building the railway is a good thing, but the population of Afghanistan, especially the number of men, is dropping sharply. Whether there will be enough manpower to complete next year's spring plowing is a problem. How can we mobilize a large number of manpower to help us build some roads at once? "A military officer said worriedly.

"Labor force? Did you make a mistake? What I'm most afraid of is the lack of labor force. Haven't we captured more than 2 Soviet soldiers in total? These guys are strong laborers who don't need money. Let them help us in my opinion." Road construction is also a good thing. In addition, isn’t there still a population of 10 in the surrounding area? In such a large-scale war, if a small population is lost or some people apply for political asylum in Afghanistan, there is absolutely no problem with 20 laborers coming and going. What do you think?" It seems that Feng Yuxiang has already thought about it carefully.

"Since the commander-in-chief has decided, what else is there to study? Just tell me how to implement it?"

"What I mean is this. Take away all the equipment that can be dismantled from the factories and enterprises of the British in the area under our control. You are not allowed to leave even a single screw to the enemy. After dismantling, you will follow the factory buildings of the engineering team Carry out destructive blasting; second, transportation facilities, railways, locomotives, railway equipment, and platform equipment are all included in the relocation catalog of our army. In addition, all public and private vehicles and spare parts in Ishkasim and its vicinity should not be let go. Take away. Third, all power generation, water supply, telephone, and telegraph equipment in the city should also be taken away. Fourth, all military and civilian warehouses in the area controlled by our army will be requisitioned for military use, and all materials will be transported to central and southern Afghanistan. Fifth, for private property, only the personal property of local government officials was confiscated, and the property of other residents was protected in form. Sixth, a large amount of pounds seized was used to purchase all idle cattle, horses, livestock, grain and other daily necessities from local residents. Seventh. , From now on, the food rationing system in the city will be implemented, and the per capita standard is 45 grams of flour per day, but men aged 60 to [-], and all male and female workers and technical personnel under the age of [-] who originally served in the British army base are excluded. Eighth, to The above-mentioned excluded personnel will be recruited, and those who are in good health must voluntarily work in our military factories."

"Commander-in-chief, Gao! Even if the enemy wants to launch a counterattack, I'm afraid it will take half a year to prepare. Damn, after half a year, maybe the whole of Europe will be ours." Song Zheyuan kept nodding beside him.

London, England.

"Your Excellency Eden, please speak, I am waiting for your reply." Churchill sat on the polished rocking chair, with a blanket covering his legs, because his leg had just had a stroke last week, His condition has not improved until now, the curtain behind him is half covered, his face is hidden behind the shadow, and his expression cannot be seen clearly, but from his gloomy voice, it can be heard that his mood is really bad now up.

A few days ago, the arrogant Eden in the Congress disappeared. His face was ashen, and he kept sighing with his head lowered. Seeing the prime minister's question, he replied with all his strength: "There is no way, the god of luck once again favors you." When we left China, we all focused on China's armored forces. No one would have thought that they would send out paratroopers, use the tactics of blooming in the center, and then armored forces to attack from the periphery. I think this is Ishka The reason why Sim fell."

"Where's Brian? And our tens of thousands of British soldiers, what about them?" Churchill's voice became more severe.

Aiden licked his dry lips and said, "I think I overestimated Brian's ability. Judging from this defeat, he is a complete waste. He shouldn't have used his..."

Churchill in the shadows did not speak for a long time, only the iconic big pipe was flickering in the dark, and the room was silent for a long time.

Aiden seemed to have thought of something suddenly, and said: "Your Excellency, the Eighth Army is ready to fight and can go to Afghanistan to retake our lost northern land at any time..."

Churchill sighed, and said weakly: "What's the use of doing this now? The Chinese army has already dismantled all the industrial facilities in Ishkassim and its surrounding areas, and all materials are being transported to Kabul. It seems that they It is planned to build a solid military defense barrier with Kabul as the center. Look, it will not be long before military facilities such as airports, radar stations, and artillery defense bases will rise from the ground. Afghanistan has irretrievably fallen into China. Even if we send troops to attack Ishkasim now, it is just a few useless empty cities in exchange for a large number of casualties. The Chinese are really insidious!"

There was another long silence...

Churchill finally said: "Go, go back and prepare your speech. Congress will hold a hearing soon, waiting for you to explain to those bad old men."

Aiden only felt as uncomfortable as being stabbed in the heart, which would mean that his political career would come to an extremely unsatisfactory end, would he be willing? "No, Your Excellency Prime Minister, we still have a chance, but you still have to support me as always before this plan can be realized."

"Oh?" Churchill suddenly poked his face out of the shadows and asked expectantly, "What plan?"

Aiden thought for a moment, walked slowly to Churchill's rocking chair, bent down and whispered into the prime minister's ear, Churchill listened intently, his face gradually calmed down, and after the other party finished speaking, he nodded and said: " Is this plan feasible?"

Aiden said firmly: "It will definitely work. If it goes well, the Emperor of China may even become a prisoner of the British Empire!"

Next, Churchill leaned back on the rocking chair, closed his eyes, and said slowly: "Go, MI[-] will be arranged by you. I hope that when I see you next time, you can bring an amazing surprise." good news."

"Sure, sure, I will never let you down." After finishing speaking, Aiden turned and left the dark room...

In a dark corner northwest of the Leningrad Palace in the Soviet Union.A man dressed as a Western warlock sneakily handed a box-shaped object to another person. The person was covered in a black cloak, and his face could not be seen clearly.

"Is everything done?" The voice was cold, even a little scary.

Seemingly getting used to the sound, the warlock hurriedly nodded and bowed. "Don't worry, my lord, the tsar's seal and some personal items are inside!"

"Very good! Rasputin!" The man in the black cloak opened the small box, checked it out, nodded, and asked, "Is anyone following you?"

"Don't worry, my lord!" Rasputin patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, my lord."

"Very good!" The man in the black cloak took out an exquisite small box from his arms, handed it to Rasputin, and said, "Here you are!"

When Rasputin saw the box, his eyes lit up immediately, and he hurried over.When I opened it, there were two long cigars lined up side by side. When I took out one of them, Rasputin lit it immediately, took a long puff, and immediately felt a kind of fairy-like comfort, and then said: "This time It's much better than last time! Thank you, my lord!"

The man in the black cloak nodded and said, "Go back! Don't let others suspect you after you've been out for a long time!"

"Yes! My lord" Rasputin asked, "I don't know how to contact you next time?"

The man in black said: "I will contact you when the time comes! You just have to do your job well!"

Rasputin said with some concern: "The situation in Leningrad recently is unstable. The secret police of the Communist Party are arresting anti-government elements everywhere. There is a lot of trouble. I am worried..."

"There is nothing to worry about!" The man in black interrupted him: "You must protect the Tsar and let him live safely, understand!" Then he said coldly: "Get back!"

"Yes!" Seeing that the man in black's voice had turned cold, Rasputin hurriedly withdrew.

Rasputin quickly got into the dark streets of Leningrad, and stopped in front of a shoe repair shop at the corner of the street. A sloppy idler in front of the door whispered, "I'm back so soon !"

Rasputin nodded, "I just remembered that there are still things to do!" After speaking, he went directly to the shoe repair shop.

Leningrad, Imperial Chinese Embassy in the Soviet Union, in the office on the third floor, Wang Kongan, Director of the Operations Department of the Far East Department of the Imperial Security Bureau, handed a box to Chen Lifu, the ambassador to the Soviet Union.

Chen Lifu glanced at the contents inside, looked at Wang Kongan with admiring eyes, and said, "Well done!"

"Thank you for your compliment!" Wang Kongan said modestly, "This is what we should do!"

Chen Lifu nodded, and said: "I received an order from your superiors, asking you to hand over the contents of the box to the Leningrad agents as soon as possible, and they will be responsible for sending this item to Beijing."

"Yes!" Wang Kongan stood at attention and said, "Don't worry, my lord! I promise to complete the task!"

"By the way!" Chen Lifu suddenly said again: "The empire believes that the tsar is still useful, and requires you to save his life. If necessary, you can transfer him in advance, or use the embassy guard battalion!"

Wang Kongan said: "Don't worry, my lord, the tsar and queen are under the control of Rasputin, and we control Rasputin. When necessary, my people will directly rescue the Russian royal family!"

"Is that the Russian national teacher?" Chen Lifu frowned and asked, "His reputation is terrible! Don't expose your identities!"

Middle East Storm Chapter 766 The "Death" of the Tsar

"What the hell is going on with this Nicholas II? After so many years since the October Revolution, why is he still alive? And why is the notorious Rasputin still alive?" Chen Lifu asked.

Wang Kongan looked out the door, pulled Chen Lifu to the bedroom on the second floor, lowered his voice, and said, "Let's talk about Rasputin first. At the end of Tsarist Russia, Tsar Nicholas II and Empress Alexander After being desperate politically and militarily, Rasputin pinned his spirit on superstition. Rasputin pretended to be a "fairy prophet" and was introduced to the court. He used superstition to fill the emptiness in the hearts of the tsar and queen and gained their trust. The court became more and more powerful, and finally manipulated the power of the royal family. Under Rasputin’s instigation, the tsarist government successively replaced 4 prime ministers, 6 ministers of the interior, 4 ministers of war, 4 ministers of foreign affairs, and 4 ministers of agriculture. ministers and four ministers of justice. Later, the Russian ruling group split into a pro-China faction headed by the Chairman of the Council of Ministers and Cabinet Prime Minister Styurmeier and a pro-British faction represented by Foreign Minister Sassonov. People attacked each other. Expressing resentment against the tsarist government's inability to win the war and prevent the revolution, Alexandra was even suspected of being a spy for China, because his two sons were studying in China, and he himself attached great importance to the pro-China faction. Among the aristocrats, the tsar's incompetence and innocence were also heartbroken, and they naturally pointed the finger at Rasputin, the tsar's most trusted. In order to quell domestic conflicts and keep the tsarist regime, Rasputin was defeated by Yusupov in Petrograd. The duke and other royalist groups were assassinated. The royalists tried to save the Romanov dynasty and prevent the outbreak of the revolution. But at a critical moment, Rasputin was rescued by a group of mysterious people. Bureau military intelligence personnel. Rasputin, who was shot several times, was dying. At this time, the imperial agents injected him with a large amount of morphine and life-saving drugs. Finally, he survived miraculously. Since then, this guy has become addicted to drugs The imperial agents just took the opportunity to provide him with drugs, gradually controlled the Russian national division, and indirectly controlled the tsar and queen through him."

Chen Lifu took a breath, and asked again: "Where is Nicholas II, what's the matter with him?"

Wang Kong'an paused for a while, as if he was sorting out his thoughts, and then said: "After the victory of the February Revolution in Russia, the Petrograd Soviet and the Provisional Government imprisoned the family of the last Tsar Nicholas II of the Romanov Dynasty in the royal palace near Petrograd. In the Aleksandrov Palace in the village. On August 8, according to the order of the provisional government, Nicholas II and his family set off for Tobolsk on the Irtysh River in Siberia, escorted by Kobelin A guard team led by Alanski. On the 14th, the Tsar’s family moved into the former governor’s residence in Borsk. Soon, Pankratov, the plenipotentiary appointed by the Provisional Government, arrived in the city. After the victory of the October Revolution, he abdicated The Tsar stayed there as usual, and the situation did not change. In April 26, Yakovlev, the plenipotentiary holding a letter of commission signed by the chairman of the All-Russian Soviet Executive Committee, Sverdlov, came to Tobolsk to take over the task of guarding , and immediately moved Nicholas II's family to Yekaterinburg in the Urals, where they were imprisoned in the private residence of the businessman Ipatyev. In the middle of the night of July 1918, Yurovsky, a member of the Cheka Committee of the Urals, was ordered to have the last Tsar Nikolai, Alexandrovich, Romanov, his wife, five children and four servants were all shot dead in the prison..."

"Oh?" Chen Lifu was astonished: "So Nicholas II is really dead? Then who is the person we contacted?"

Wang Kongan smiled mysteriously and said: "Don't worry, listen to me first. It took 1901 months from the official arrest of the Tsar on March 3, 21 to his execution on July 1902, 7. During this period, From the Russian royalists to the top figures of the provisional government, and some foreign envoys have been trying to rescue Nicholas II. After Nicholas II abdicated, the bourgeois provisional government continued to fight, and the constitutional monarchy and the republicans were at loggerheads. The debate continued, and the fate of the emperor became a problem for a while. The representatives of the Soviet soldiers insisted that the bourgeois provisional government execute the tsar and his family. However, the chairman of the Provisional Soviet Ruling Committee Cheidze wanted to quietly send the tsar and his family to Orkney, England. In Kirkwall County in the archipelago, the chairman of the St. Petersburg Soviet Yuriti Belisov immediately notified the stations, wharves, and checkpoints on all roads after hearing the news, and found that Nicholas II and his family were trying to flee abroad , Immediately detained. At the beginning of August, Nicholas II's family was transferred to Topolsk in Siberia. There, Nicholas II bribed two guards of the Provisional Government to escape from the Russian border from the Far East, but He was discovered by military and police checkpoints along the way. The escape route map and 16 rubles were found. After the outbreak of the October Revolution, the Tsar’s family was taken over by the Bolshevik government.”

"In order to prevent the tsar's family from escaping again, the All-Russian Central Executive Committee decided to transfer Nicholas II and his family to the state Soviet government in Yekaterinburg, the capital of the Ural state. In order to find a house to imprison Nicholas II and his family, fees After many twists and turns, I finally chose a vacant private house on Voznesko Street. The house has two floors, with four rooms and a hall upstairs. , where the guards lived, the guards were members of the Red Guards of the Ural region. The first few months were uneventful. Every evening after dinner, Nicholas II and his family were allowed to go for a walk. Nicholas II was unhappy all day long, Sighing and sighing, the Red Guards did not allow them to read newspapers, let alone letters, completely cutting them off from the outside world. Even so, some things were known to them. Monarchists and royalists of all kinds began to ask The place where Nicholas II lived was close to Yekaterinburg, and the situation began to become tense. Then came the rebellion of the Czechoslovak Legion on May 6, 1902. The domestic situation in Russia was very serious. There were a large number of counter-revolutionary armed forces everywhere. Surrounded by communism, four-fifths of the country fell into the hands of the Self-Defense Forces and the Czechoslovak Legion. Socialist Revolutionaries and royalists and various reactionary forces were ready to move. By July 5, a total of 25 Siberia had emerged. The government, 1918 armed forces of different factions. Under such circumstances, it is almost impossible to transfer Nicholas II's family to the outskirts of Moscow. There are Gosak counter-revolutionary armed groups along the railway from Siberia to Moscow. There are Self-Defense Corps The counter-revolutionary cavalry battalion is armed with the Brest Royalist Long Spear Brigade. If you take the train, you may be hijacked at any time. If you take a car, the target is more conspicuous, easy to be discovered by the counter-revolutionary armed forces, and rescue may be possible at any time. Plus autumn It often rains heavily in Siberia. After the rain, the roads become muddy, and the cars often sink. What’s more, the food and lodging of the people in this car must be careful. The emperor, the empress, four girls, and a boy, that’s 7 people, plus servants There are 19 people, doctors, cooks, and 21 members of the Red Guards. It takes two trucks to fit them, not to mention gasoline, food, guns and ammunition. The members of the Red Guards knew that it was difficult to transfer Nicholas II’s family. But the rebellion in the surrounding area is getting closer by the day."

"At this time, Grand Duke Sergei Mikhailovich of St. Petersburg came to visit Nicholas II's family, and the officers of the counter-revolutionary royalist faction also got in touch with Nicholas II. The conspiracy to attack and rescue Nicholas II while the Czechoslovak Legion was in rebellion has been planned. The chairman of the Ural Soviet Committee, Miya Sholokhov, suggested that the Nicholas II family and their entourage should be shot on the spot. The All-Russia Central Executive The chairman of the committee, Trasverdlov, received a telegram from Sholokhov, the chairman of the Ural Soviet, hesitating and unable to decide, because the situation there is quite serious."

"So, Sverdlov came to Lenin's office. Lenin was standing by the window and meditating. Due to overwork and malnutrition, Lenin was very emaciated and looked like he had suffered a serious illness. Lenin was meditating on domestic affairs. The situation, Lenin said to himself: it is simply terrible. The bourgeois elements who lost everything in the October Revolution are begging for help from the imperialists in China. One day they take money from the Allies to organize a rebellion, and tomorrow they let China The army looted shops everywhere. Sverdlov knew that Lenin was worrying about food supplies in big cities such as St. Petersburg and Moscow, and couldn't bear to disturb him, but Sverdlov couldn't make up his mind, and the situation was urgent, so he couldn't delay , Sverdlov slowly put the telegram sent by Sholokhov on Lenin's desk, and coughed lightly. Lenin immediately woke up from his contemplation when he heard the cough, and saw Sverdlov The telegram that Delov just put on the table touched his heart. Lenin said excitedly to Sverdlov: What is the purpose of our revolution? Isn’t it to overthrow the tsarist autocratic rule? Isn’t it to let Will Nicholas II become the last emperor of the Romanov dynasty? We cannot leave the living banner of Nicholas II to the royalists and the Czechoslovak legions, especially in today's difficult conditions. Sverdlo Comrade Fu immediately sent a telegram to the comrades in the Ural region and Yekaterinburg, telling them that the All-Russian Central Executive Committee and the People’s Commissar of the Soviet Government consider the decision of the Ural region Soviet to be correct, and I agree with this decision. Please carry out my order.”

"After receiving the order, Yurovsky, chairman of the Yekaterinburg Soviet, inspected the entire residence and made careful arrangements for the execution of Nicholas II's family. The execution will be carried out in the dormitory of the underground Red Guards. The underground room is surrounded by thick Thick brick walls, arched concrete roofs, and surrounding walls more than three meters high. In order to prevent the sound of gunfire from spreading to nearby residents, Yurovsky asked the Red Guards to add two layers of wooden boards to the inner walls, and put them in Two old Zhonghua cars were parked outside the window, ready to start their cars to make noise during the execution."
