Zhang Hanqing was not sick, but pretending to be sick. However, he still has heart disease, and the "Aunt Huang Operation" he arranged a year ago is coming to an end, which is also a key step.

According to the "Intelligence Bureau", just a month earlier, in October 1919, Kolchak's troops had been defeated again in Tobolsk. Thus, the Great Retreat began. Dozens of trains loaded with soldiers, refugees and various belongings left Omsk for the East. The last to leave Omsk was Kolchak, who was going to take the gold reserves that the White Guards had brought from the treasury in Kazan with them to the east.

Kolchak by this time had become an obstacle for the British, the French, as well as the Czech general Zhi Gaida and the Cossack chief Semenov. They all wanted to take possession of the train with the gold, and none of them cared about the life or death of the supreme consul.

But after all, this gold is the capital on which Kolchak depends, and he is still counting on it to make a comeback, and his men are also counting on gold bars in exchange for some food or bullets at critical moments. Besides, without this gold, who cares that he is the former Supreme Commander of the White Guards and the Supreme Consul of the "Russian Provisional Government"? Once there is no non-commissioned officer to support him, he will be ruthlessly abandoned at any time, and what awaits him is bound to be the execution of the hated Soviet Russian army. This is something he must know, and the Chinese Gao Jiyi conveyed the advice of their young marshal still in his ears.

Now that he had decided to retreat to the far east, he inquired about the situation of Feng's army in many ways. When they knew that it was really as Gao Jiyi said, their young marshal personally led the troops to solve Mongolia, and he couldn't help but think about it.

When the sun was in full swing, he also failed to defeat the Red Army, and now the intervening army has been infighting, and the morale of his troops has also been defeated, if you don't think of some way, do you really wait for these people to treat themselves as lottery heads and send them to the Soviet Russian army for reconciliation?

Fortunately, he was ready for all the retreat matters at any time, so although the withdrawal was hectic, his cronies and troops still completed the preparations for the exit in a very orderly manner, and did not lose a single gold in the city of Omsk (thanks to the young marshal, thanks to Gao Jiyi, Kolchak who was mentally prepared was more fully prepared, unlike in history, he lost several tons of gold because of his hurry).

It's already late at night, and you're almost in Irkutsk, right? It's a place where you decide your life and death. It is difficult to choose between the territory of the Japanese and the territory of the Japanese to the east and the territory of the Chinese to the south. But in any case, even throwing gold at the unfathomable Baikal will not allow the evil Soviet Russian army to get half a grain!

The so-called love is deep and hateful. Later in the year before the February Revolution, he had just been promoted to vice admiral and commander of the Black Sea Fleet, and continued his astonishing command skills---- sinking several German warships in Constantinople and firmly holding the Black Sea in the hands of the Russians. After the February Revolution, he was the first admiral to swear allegiance to the Provisional Government of Soviet Russia. Why did it change hands so quickly without any shame? "I am not in the service of one form or another, but of the Fatherland, which I regard above all else," he said. ”

On June 17, 1917, the meeting of sailors, soldiers, and workers' representatives of Sevastopol passed a resolution to dismiss him from his post as commander of the Black Sea Fleet and send him to the United States for a military expedition. He spent two months in the United States, and when he returned home via Japan, he learned of the 'October Revolution' of the Bolsheviks. He saw himself as a representative of the overthrown legitimate government and saw the need to fight the Bolsheviks. This is the belief he struggles for.

But now, his faith has collapsed: he has become homeless, although his lovely wife Sophia has always been by his side, and his son Rostyralv Aleksandrovich Kolchak has bravely carried a gun.

Gradually, the speed of the train slowed down, and according to the mileage, it shouldn't have arrived at the station so quickly, what happened? Looking at the boundless and desolate wilderness, he also felt a chill in his heart, don't let anything happen.

Soon, Petrov, an old subordinate under the command of the head of the locomotive, sent someone to report: "French General Genan ordered the train to stop in Nizhny Udinsk", he paused, and said: "I have just been handed a letter saying that on the 19th an uprising broke out in Irkutsk, and that power had been transferred to the 'political center' of the Socialist-Revolutionaries and the Menshevik organization. The generals of France and the Czech Republic have made a deal with this 'political center' in exchange for their safe exit from Russia. The signature is Gao Jiyi. ”

Gao Jiyi! He used to be there for me all the time! He once inadvertently missed the days of that person, at least he still had a glimmer of hope. Now, this man has appeared, bringing bad news.

But now it is difficult to ride a tiger: the Red Army will capture Omsk, and they will also control the train, and they will chase along the road. One minute late, one minute risk. Kolchak would never see death coming, and after a long time of receiving an explanation from Genan, he ordered: "Irkutsk is our new temporary capital, and we must move forward no matter what." I am the Supreme Consul, and I order the train to keep moving! ”

The whistle sounded, the train started, but Kolchak's heart sank.

At such a time, it is very likely that this kind of thing will happen, does it mean that those intervening forces are ready to attack him? Quite possibly! However, without knowing anything about the situation ahead, is now a good time to fight back?

Irkutsk is near. Kolchak's future base, the last hope for a comeback, the fertile soil of Central Siberia! He used to be full of hope, but when he saw the soldiers with loaded guns next to the platform, his heart sank to the bottom!

"Speed up!" This is the most correct order he has given, and it has been carried out most thoroughly.

The soldiers on the platform did not expect the change of the train at all, and when they reacted and received the order, the train had already left. Relieved as the train went east along the long lake of Irkutsk bypassing Lake Baikal, the relieved guards fell asleep.

When the sky was bright, there was a sudden sound of hooves in the distance, completely muffling the roar of the train. The people on the train were alert, what a huge cavalry this must be!

Kolchak was suddenly shocked in his heart: who else but the Cossacks could have such a large cavalry in the land of Siberia? Thinking of the Cossack leader Semyonov, who had been frowning a few days ago, he immediately ordered: "The whole car is on alert!" ”

The Cossacks were a nomadic community living in the steppes of Eastern Europe (Ukraine, southern Russia) who were historically known for their prowess and horsemanship, and were the main force behind the expansion of the Russian Empire eastward into Siberia in the 17th century. The Cossacks were known for their bravery and good fighting. In Russian history, the tsar controlled the Cossacks by buying off the Cossack elite. The cavalry, composed of Cossacks, has always been an important force in Tsarist Russia. After the October Revolution, a small number of Cossacks joined the Soviet Red Army in the Bolshevik government, and the majority joined the White Army in the anti-government, and Semenov was the leader of such a group of White Army.

Sure enough, after a short time, when the train turned at the foot of the mountain, Kolchak saw Semenov in a strong suit speeding towards him. A sturdy rider was ordered to step forward and shout beside the carriage near Kolchak: "Leave the gold and let you into Ulan-Ude!" ”
