Chapter 732: Blackmail (31st Update)
Wu Haoxuan and Empress Anastasia talked a lot, about this war, and also about Empress Anastasia's experience in the past few months when she became the empress. And Wu Haoxuan also taught Empress Anastasia some ways to be a king. Although the national conditions of the Chinese Empire and the Russian Empire are different, in fact, there are still many things that can be used universally.
Empress Anastasia also asked whether the Chinese Empire could destroy Soviet Russia this time, and Wu Haoxuan introduced the predicament that the empire is facing now and the role of Soviet Russia. Therefore, the empire must leave Soviet Russia behind, and now is not the time to destroy Soviet Russia. Empress Anastasia also understood.
Wu Haoxuan assured Empress Anastasia that it would not be long before the Chinese Empire would surely fall to Soviet Russia. And the Russian Empire, will rise again. Empress Anastasia naturally said that no matter what happens in the future, as long as she is still the empress of the Russian Empire, then the Russian Empire will definitely be the closest ally of the Chinese Empire.
Empress Anastasia offered to purchase a batch of weapons and equipment from the Chinese Empire. Wu Haoxuan didn't say a word, and directly agreed to provide it to the Russian Empire at the factory price. Anyway, there are still a large number of weapons in the various combat readiness warehouses of the empire. If these weapons are kept forever, the cost of maintenance alone will be a lot of money. In addition, the individual weapons of the Imperial Army will soon be replaced. Therefore, it is useless to keep those weapons any longer, it is better to sell them to the Russian Empire.
As for those territories north of the Caucasus Mountains and south of the Don and Volga rivers, Wu Haoxuan directly said that the empire spent a lot of military spending in this war, and it was necessary to use these lands to silence the mouths of the military and political ministers of the empire. Albeit. Empress Anastasia was a little dissatisfied in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it. That's fertile land after all! Once swallowed by the Chinese Empire, I am afraid that it will never be able to take it back.
Of course, Empress Anastasia is also measured. The fact that the land can't be brought back is gratifying, but. Compared to the vast plains of Eastern Europe, that's nothing. As long as the Chinese Empire can help the Russian Empire destroy Soviet Russia and restore the country smoothly, even if it loses those lands, what does it matter?
The two talked for a long time, and finally talked all the way to bed. The two haven't seen each other for a few months, and they have long been in love with adultery, and they can't wait. By the time it was over, it was already dark. Thereupon. Wu Haoxuan simply stayed here.
When Wu Haoxuan was enjoying the empress of the Russian Empire, Tang Shaoyi, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Empire, also met with Yue Fei, the special envoy of Soviet Russia in Yanjing.
The crushing defeat of the Russian Red Army in Western Siberia and the Caucasus has already endangered the rule of Soviet Russia. Therefore, the Bolshevik ****** of Soviet Russia, Comrade Ulyanov, sent telegrams to Yue Fei. He was asked to explain this misunderstanding to the Chinese Empire, and to make sure that the Chinese Empire stopped its westward offensive and protected the interests of Soviet Russia. For this. Even at a certain price, it is acceptable.
From these telegrams. Yue Fei knew how critical the situation was now. So, he begged to see Tang Shaoyi overnight. However, it was closed. After that, he contacted the Imperial Foreign Ministry several times, hoping to meet with Tang Shaoyi, but he was unsuccessful. This made Yue Fei very angry in his heart. Colleagues are also secretly anxious. The Chinese Empire is unwilling to make contact with Soviet Russia, so there is undoubtedly only one possibility, that is, the Chinese Empire does not want to negotiate, but intends to directly use force to solve the problem once and for all. This result was not acceptable to Soviet Russia. To know. If the Chinese army continues to attack, the Russian Red Army will not be able to resist it. At that time, Soviet Russia will undoubtedly be in danger of extinction!
Finally, he received a notice from the Imperial Foreign Office that the Foreign Secretary was going to see him, which made Yue Fei ecstatic. Of course, in my heart, I was dissatisfied that the Chinese Empire had left him dry for so long and put him under tremendous pressure. Yue Fei secretly swore in his heart that when Soviet Russia became strong and the Russian Red Army liberated the Chinese Empire, he would definitely let these Chinese know how powerful he was and make them pay the price for today's unreasonableness and arrogance. The Bolsheviks were never saints, they were nothing more than robbers who approved the Bolshevik cloak.
It's just that from the moment he walked into the office of Imperial Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi, the anger on Yue Fei's face disappeared cleanly, and was replaced by a smile. and just now, it is completely like two people.
"Hello, Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, I have finally met you." Yue Fei said with a smile.
"Your Excellency, I'm sorry, I've been too busy lately. You know, the army has just finished a large-scale campaign, and His Majesty is convening a royal council to deal with these issues. Tang Shaoyi said.
Yue Fei couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth: "Damn yellow-skinned monkeys, they should be celebrating victory." Their victory, however, was based entirely on the defeat of the great Soviet Russia. More than a million Russian Red Army troops were killed, wounded, and captured. ”
"Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, I can understand." Yue Fei said with a smile.
"Your Excellency, I still have a lot of things to do, so you can just say what you mean, and you don't have to go around in circles." Tang Shaoyi said directly.
"Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, there is a complete misunderstanding about this war that has broken out between our two countries. The Russian government deeply regrets this. We hope that the misunderstandings between the two countries will be cleared up and the previous relations will be restored. Yue Fei hurriedly said.
"Your Excellency, are you joking? You threw in a full-scale war of 1.8 million people, and our country and the Russian Empire invested almost so many troops? Was it a misunderstanding? You're clearly insulting my intelligence. Tang Shaoyi sneered. These red-haired people want to boil it all down to a misunderstanding, and then turn the big things into small things, and the small things into small things, where is there such a cheap thing!
"Your Excellency Foreign Secretary, please trust us that we are keeping our promises. The reason why the war broke out was only because someone bewitched the great Comrade Ulyanov and those comrades of the ******, which made them make the wrong decision. Now, we've recognized our previous mistakes. That is why we hope that peace between the two countries can be restored. Yue Fei racked his brains to find an excuse.
"Your Excellency, we have reached an agreement at the beginning that the Ural River and the Ural Mountains are the boundary. However, your country has flagrantly reneged on its promise and sent a large army directly across the Ural Mountains and the Ural River, leading to the outbreak of this great war. In this war, we and the Russian Empire lost hundreds of thousands of troops, and consumed countless war materials. I'm afraid this is not a misunderstanding, an apology can be solved. Tang Shaoyi said expressionlessly.
"Your Excellency, the loss we have paid is even greater." Yue Fei said.
"You originally provoked this, and you paid heavy casualties, and you deserved it." Tang Shaoyi didn't give face at all.
Yue Fei's face became a little ugly, if it weren't for the predicament that Soviet Russia is facing now, he would probably have brushed his sleeves away a long time ago.
"Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, this war is indeed our fault. In order to achieve peace between our two countries, the Russian government is ready to make reparations for this. Yue Fei took a deep breath, and after suppressing the anger in his heart, he said in a low voice. In his heart, he was already burning with anger. However, for the sake of Soviet Russia, he had to be so low.
"Reparations? It's not impossible. Originally, His Majesty the Emperor planned to send a large army to continue the attack to the west and destroy Soviet Russia. However, if you can show enough sincerity, perhaps, you can make His Majesty the Emperor change his mind. Tang Shaoyi continued. His meaning is already very clear, that is, if Soviet Russia wants to escape this catastrophe, it is not impossible, but it must bleed heavily.
"Your Excellency Foreign Minister, as long as the Chinese Empire is able to clear up the misunderstanding and retreat back to the Ural Mountains and the Ural River to the east and south of the Caucasus Mountains, Soviet Russia will promise not to cross the border one step in the future. In addition, Soviet Russia was willing to use fifty tons of gold to redeem the captured Russian Red Army officers and soldiers. Yue Fei gritted his teeth and made conditions.
Tang Shaoyi couldn't help laughing, these red-haired people were completely calling Huazi. After putting forward so many conditions, I only agreed to pay 50 tons of gold. Is fifty tons of gold a lot? It's just that compared to 6.8 million pounds, when converted into Chinese dollars, it is only 68 million. This is nothing at all for the Chinese Empire today.
"Your Excellency, we are very dissatisfied with the conditions you have proposed. Because you started the war this time, the border between our two countries must be revised. On the eastern front, it is bounded by the Ural Mountains and the Ural River, but on the southern route, it is bounded by the Don and Volga rivers. The territories north of the Caucasus Mountains, south of the Don and Volga rivers, Soviet Russia had to give up. In addition, the captured Russian officers and soldiers, they all voluntarily joined the Russian Empire. Nor is it good for empires to go against their will. In addition, on the issue of reparations, the Reich hoped that the Russian government would provide a thousand tons of gold as the Reich would, or replace it with equivalent jewelry. Tang Shaoyi, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Empire, opened his mouth directly, ready to knock on a bamboo pole in Soviet Russia. (To be continued.) )
