Anton. Lieutenant Zhukaninko was the most ordinary member of the junior officers of the White Army, first he followed Karekin, then Karekin hung up, then he defected to Krasnov, then Krasnov also hung up, Zhukaninko could only follow the remnants of the Czech Corps and the defeated general picked up a life under the response of Denikin.

This time, Zhukanenko felt that he had to choose his boss carefully, and the tragic experience of the first two bosses told him a truth -- the first batch of anti-Bolshevik generals headed by Karekin and Kornilov were already in the twilight of their lives, and these old guys were no longer opponents of the Bolsheviks, and if they wanted to have a great future, they had to turn their eyes away from these old guys, and they had to find a newcomer with a great future!

Choosing between the White generals, Zhukaninko believed that Kolchak was the most innovative and most appreciated by the Entente, and that he should be the true son of Russia. So he resolutely rejected Denikin's troops, and followed the remnants of the Czech Legion to the new archon.

However, what Zhukanenko did not expect, and what he couldn't figure out at all, was that his third boss was finished again, and it was only a year old, and Kolchak was also destitute. One can imagine how hard Zhukaninko was hit.

However, no matter how big the blow is, it is not necessary to live, especially when the future of the White Army is bleak and the Red Army is chased like a lost dog, it is even more necessary to plan for his own future. Truth be told, Zhukaninko doesn't know who to turn to. After the fall of Kolchak, the internal division of the White Army collapsed, and there were more than a dozen large and small hills, and this group of people was recruiting. No one will obey anyone!

This situation of a hundred flowers bloomed made Zhukanenko not know what to choose. His battalion commander was going to fight Semenov. And his regimental commander wanted to serve in the Constituent Council, and as for his division commander, he was simply ready to stand on his own feet and had great ambitions to become the new Kolchak.

To put it mildly, if it was really up to the officers to choose, then the White Army itself would have to fight first, and even self-destruction was entirely possible.

It's not just the officers who have different minds, but the ordinary soldiers are not good at it. In the case of Zhukaninko's company, a third of the soldiers were wiped out by the Red Army, a third of the soldiers were either missing or starved to death on the way to escape, and few of the remaining third were interested in fighting the Bolsheviks to the end.

Let's put it this way. The White Army is already rotten, and the arrival of the gods will not be able to restore the fighting spirit of this army.

While Zhukaninko was thinking about his future. A soldier hurriedly ran up to him and reported: "Company commander, the bridge in front is blocked. ”

"Red bandits?" Zhukanenko asked without raising his head.

Don't think that there is no Red Army in Siberia, there are still many Red Army partisans active in the vast Siberia, and they have caused countless problems for Kolchak's supply lines together with Semenov. And Zhukanenko was also harassed by the Red Army partisans along the way.

So naturally, he ordered: "Let a platoon go and drive away that group of bastards......"

But before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the soldier: "Company commander, it's not a red bandit." It's our own people. ”

Own?

Zhukanenko is the second monk who is confused, why are his own people blocking the road? Now the big guys are fleeing in a swarm in the direction of Chita, no one wants to be the queen of the palace, who is hungry and stops and waits for death?

"What the hell is going on?" Zhukaninko asked impatiently.

The little soldier was also a little crying and laughing: "Just look at it, it seems to be General Semenov's troops." ”

Zhukanenko instinctively hesitated, now he knew exactly what the senior officers were planning, Semenov was now the most popular candidate for the new commander-in-chief, and this guy was just like Kolchak before him, confidently ready to do a big job. Obviously, Semyonov is starting to act, but Zhukaninko doesn't know what Semyonov means by blocking the road, does he want to turn around and fight the Bolsheviks?

If this is what Semyonov really thinks, then Zhukanenko will definitely choose to say goodbye to Semyonov. Because Zhukaninko did not believe that the White Army would be able to make a comeback, let alone that Semenov would be able to lead them to a turnaround. He thought it was a very stupid idea to turn around and continue to fight the Bolsheviks, which amounted to suicide.

Anyway, Zhukanenko didn't plan to commit suicide, and while walking to the place of the incident, he secretly thought to himself: "It seems that you can't go with the battalion commander, that fool Semenov is not a good boss!" ”

A platoon of heavily loaded soldiers blocked Zhukanenko's way, led by a major, who looked at Zhukanenko with a proud expression and said contemptuously for a while: "According to the order of General Semenov, you must stop advancing!" ”

Zhukanenko asked: "Why?" ”

"There's nothing why!" The major said contemptuously, "This is the order of General Semenov, you just carry out the order!" ”

Zhukanenko was irritated by the attitude of the other side, he was not Semenov's troops, why listen to Semenov's troops, who did this group of Far Eastern hillbillies think they were?

"How? Ready to go hard? The major sneered, he whistled, and in an instant five or six machine guns were aimed at Zhukanenko.

"What do you mean by that?" Zhukaninko took two steps back and asked, a little frightened.

"It's not interesting," the major sneered again, and said triumphantly, "just to make you obey orders!" ”

Zhukanenko looked at the major, then at the muzzle of the black hole of the machine gun, and soon he chose to retreat. In his opinion, only his own life is the most important, and what does this kind of immortal fight do he, a little ghost, participate in.

"You go and inform the battalion commander and tell General Semenov that we are not allowed to pass guò!"

After giving instructions, Zhukanenko ordered the troops to stand by to build fortifications, when his deputy company commander asked why. He replied, "Just in case! ”

Yes. Zhukanenko is not at all at all at ease with the so-called fraternal forces. Who knows if Semenov's troops will eat black or attack suddenly or something, that cargo's troops have a history of doing such a bad thing, and they even dared to rob the supplies that the Entente gave to Kolchak, and it was not like a game to destroy a few of their soldiers. Anyway, Zhukanenko doesn't want to be cannon fodder and unjustly killed!

The situation was reflected upwards one by one, and soon Renan knew that something had happened in front of him, and he was very indignant about Semenov's behavior: "What do you want to do, Semenov? What does that mean exactly? Why block our troops? ”

To this, Semenov said coldly: "I am just maintaining order, and it seems to me that I am fleeing to Vladivostok like a lost dog." It doesn't make any sense at all. We must stop, we must fight a turnaround near Lake Baikal! Otherwise, what is there to talk about restoring order and peace in Russia? ”

This answer surprised Renan and the others, and they stopped and turned around to continue the fight with the Bolsheviks? Isn't this Nima making an international joke? How could they defeat the menacing Eastern Front with their little defeat, isn't this a death sentence?

However, Genan could not admit this yet, because the Entente group and the Constitutional Council were still tirelessly stirring up rice on the official channels, talking about what the Red Bandits were exhausted, and the White Army would soon counterattack and defeat the Red Bandits, anyway, in the official channels, the Red Army was already in the twilight of the day, and the White Army would regain Moscow at any time.

Although these are all. It was the legendary "plan", but Renan could not openly deny this qiē. And Semyonov seized on this point to make a fuss. Gagged him.

It took a long time for Renan, who had a relatively sluggish IQ, to think of a reason to refute: "Of course we have to fight the red bandits, but we can't rush it." Now that our troops have just moved in victoriously, we urgently need to find a support point to rest. At this time, you block the way, which will only cause panic and confusion among the troops. What is your purpose in doing this? ”

Semenov snorted coldly and said contemptuously: "Your troops are a bunch of rubbish, it's not my people who make them panic and chaos, but they have long been panic and chaos. In the current circumstances, the only way to stop this panic and chaos from continuing to spread and spread is to stop and stand still. Instead of continuing to run away like a panicked rabbit! ”

"Nonsense!" Renan was furious and yelled, "I order you to get out of the way immediately!" ”

"Why do you order me, how old are you?" Semenov sarcastically reprimanded, and then said very arrogantly: "I'll leave it here, without my permission, no matter whose troops are allowed to cross the Selenga River and Ulan-Ude!" ”

"Why!" Renan was anxious and roared, "Who do you think you are?" ”

Semenov sneered: "If you don't believe it, you can try, but I'll talk about the ugly things ahead, don't blame Lao Tzu's guns and shells for not recognizing people when the time comes!" ”

After saying that, Semyonov walked away very arrogantly, and that gesture did not take Zhenan and the representatives of Britain and the United States in his eyes at all. Of course, he did have the ability not to take this group of people seriously, Ulan-Ude was in his hands, and the Selenga River completely blocked the White Army, which had fled thousands of miles away, on the southern shore of Lake Baikal. Unless Genan and his troops all had wings, they would not even want to cross the Selenga River and the Yablonov Mountains.

"This bastard is trying to trap us!" The representatives of Britain and the United States complained about the South Korea.

I have to say that Renan's political IQ and political vision are really subpar, and this thick-lined soldier doesn't know how to think about it, what good is it for Semenov to trap them? Unless Semenov intends to defect to the Red Army and fight back, otherwise, from any point of view, Semenov's trapping them to death is a death.

In fact, the representatives of Britain and the United States, even the Mensheviks and the Socialist-Revolutionaries, knew very well that Semenov was forcing them to submit and to bow their heads. Its aim, to put it bluntly, was to seize the position of commander-in-chief of the White Army by force.

"Then let's give him the title of Commander-in-Chief of the Empty Head......" Renan rolled his eyes, and got along with a bad idea. It seems that he really took Semenov for a fool and thought that he could fool the other party casually.

Fortunately, the rest of the room was smarter than him, and the American representative was quick to remind: "If he must have military command, what if he refuses to give up without giving him military command?" ”

Indeed, Semyonov is not an idiot no matter how you look at it. And even if he's an idiot. The Japanese behind him are not idiots either. Counting on such a little trick to fool things around. I'm afraid only the arrogant French can come up with it.

"So what now? Let him blackmail? "Renan is in a hurry.

In fact, the only one who is anxious now is Genan, for the British and Americans, they have long been ready for a second hand, but they do not plan to use this back hand unless it is absolutely necessary. These two hooligans really want their friends to give full play to their subjective initiative and spontaneously solve those thorny problems, and they are better off enjoying the results.

The British and Americans knew very well that the French contacted Capper. With the strength of the French and Capper, they were able to cause trouble for Semenov and the Japanese. So for the time being, they just need to watch the show.

"Attack Semenov?"

Capper was surprised when he learned that Semenov was going to do so. Even Kappel, who was very unhappy with Semenov, had to admit that it was very much like death. Not only is Semenov's troops basically completely organized and have not suffered too many losses, but he also has the support of Japan behind him, and he will never be able to get good fruit to eat if he fights hard. What's more, in any case, Semenov is still in the same camp as them, and if there is infighting, there will be a lot of fun in the world!

Renan asked angrily, "Then what do you say?" Do you let that bastard blackmail him and let him do whatever he wants! ”

Cappell thought for a moment and said, "I think there's room for maneuver. Semenov has the strength to block the way, but he is not only hindering our interests in doing so. Why are the British, the Americans and the Constitutional Council not in a hurry at all? Are they ready to make concessions to Semenov? ”

Renan slammed a spirit, and he came back to his senses, as if he had been used as a gun. He said that the attitude of the British and Americans is so **, and the feelings of this gang of bastards are ready to let him play as a striker, ready to sit back and enjoy it.

"So what should we do?" Renan asked.

"It's simple, hold your ground. Anyway, we are not the only ones who are blocked on the west bank of the Selenga River, and we don't need to be too impulsive at all. ”

"Isn't that too passive?" Renan frowned and asked, "In case the Americans, British, and Japanese make an agreement privately, what ......?"

Cappell smiled and said, "We stay calm, it doesn't mean we do nothing, we should find a way to let the Americans and the British carry the burden and let them share the pressure." It is necessary to create friction between them and Semyonov! ”

"How?" Renan's eyes lit up and he asked with great interest.

"First of all, you have to make a statement to the outside world that you can consider Semyonov's request to let Semyonov's spearhead be directed at the British and Americans; Secondly, he instigated some officers who had taken refuge in the British and Americans to make trouble with Semenov. Of course, the most important thing is that you must be optimistic about gold and never let anyone else have a chance to get their hands on it! ”

Renan felt that he had chosen the right agent, one who was much smarter than that idiot of Kolchak. That fool will only worry him, will only cause him trouble, but Cappell can solve the problem for him.

"Okay, just do as you say!" After saying that, Renan left in a hurry, and he didn't notice at all in his excitement that Capper's eyes were very wrong when he looked at him, and that kind of resentment and hostility couldn't be hidden at all.

"Your eyes don't help anything!"

Capper glanced at the man beside him, took a deep breath, and said, "I know, when I see this bastard's face, I can't get angry. It was this bastard and his accomplices who betrayed the general to the Bolsheviks, and it was they who made things out of control. And what makes me most angry is that even in this situation, they still have no remorse, they still only plan for their own interests, and they just want to divide the gold, huh! ”

The mysterious man squinted his eyes and sneered, "They will also be ruined by greed in the end!" ”

Cappel took a breath and asked, "Are you sure this works?" It seems to me that it is time to incite the French to make trouble, and not to persuade him to calm down! ”

"It's not time yet," the mysterious man shook his head and said, "There is still a big fish that has not entered the net, and closing the net at this time is not enough to fully realize our plan!" ”

Capper asked, "Big fish?" What big fish? ”

The mysterious man smiled slightly: "Andre. Petrovich, have you heard of this person? ”

Cappel frowned, he couldn't remember that there was such a big man in Russia, "Who is that?" He asked.

The mysterious man sighed, shook his head, and said, "My general, you must broaden your horizons, if you are only trapped in that small circle, you will never be able to save Russia!" ”

"Who the hell is he?" Cappell was a little curious and a little impatient.

The mysterious man glanced at him and said, "A very powerful guy, most of the credit for the chaos in Russia today is on his head!" ”

Cappel was taken aback, for he had never heard of the name of an immortal, and just as he was about to continue his questioning, the mysterious man walked away on his own. That look made Cappel feel inexplicably frightened, he knew very well the horror of the mysterious man and the forces behind the mysterious man, even they had this attitude, then it was very necessary for him to pay attention to Andre. Petrovich Too:

"Go find out Andrey for me at once. What the hell is Petrovich sacred! The sooner the better! (To be continued......)
