"Have you heard, the front-line army has been defeated, and many people can't come back."

"Yes, I heard that some people fled back and said that the army of the provisional government was crowded with hundreds of thousands, and it seemed that they could only go to the countryside to hide."

"But I heard rumors from the government that everyone should evacuate in the direction of Moscow."

"It seems that it is necessary to give up not only Kazan, but also Cheboksary. My brother's family lives there, and I'm going to take my family to join him. It's a pity that I only bought a piano at home, and I bought it at a low price from a nobleman. ”

"Don't think about it, it's important to be ready to run for your life now."

The news of the approach of the White Russian army made the people in Kazan panic, and there were all kinds of voices. However, by this time the Kazan government and the defenders had no longer cared about this. They now have an even more important thing to do, which is to gather transportation and prepare for evacuation.

Contrary to what the inhabitants of the city had heard, Mozhilov, as the commander of the garrison, knew better.

Forty kilometers away, in Peletus, nearly 100,000 Red Army troops were attacked by several times the number of White Russian rebels. And the valiant Red Army, outnumbered, can now only be transferred to the rear. So his task was to make sure that the defeated Red Army could be replenished materially in Kazan.

As for the task of defending Kazan, it has now become impossible with the defeat of the front-line army. So Mozhilov now needs to requisition supplies, then this requires manpower and it must be strong manpower. After all, the few supplies for the residents were requisitioned, and there must have been resistance in it. So the few defending troops at the moment became Mozhilov's first choice.

Mozhilov, who knew what was going on, immediately called the guards. "Send this order to all subordinate units and let them cooperate with the work of government personnel."

"Yes, Comrade Commander."

The guards received Mozhilov's telegram and immediately sent it to the troops. And with the delivery of the order, there was also a burst of chickens and dogs jumping in Kazan. Under the leadership of government workers, the garrison troops immediately began to requisition supplies in the homes of residents, and for a time there was a commotion in the city of Kazan because of the requisition.

This overjoyed Christo, who was preparing for the operation, and he directly called the personnel together for the last meeting before the operation.

In the secluded and gloomy basement of the residence behind the tailor shop, it is very unpopular. The musty smell of the air and the peeling walls all show that it has been unused for a long time.

Today, though, it's full of people. It's just that through the still heavy dust in the corner of the wall, it can be seen that this is a temporary cleaning, but the cleaning is not thorough enough.

As the commander of the operation, Christo was standing in front of a blackboard hanging on the wall, explaining to the main person in charge of the upcoming operation.

"Everyone should have some understanding of the purpose of our action this time, but I still want to talk about it again. According to the information we have learned, the Tsar transferred to Kazan more than 600 tons of gold and a small amount of jewels stored in St. Petersburg and Moscow because of the war. And after the Russian government took over here, it found only about 100 tons in the Kazan Reserve Bank. The rest, according to our intelligence, are currently in the secret vaults of the Kazan Reserve Bank. And we already know enough about the location of this vault, so we are targeting the remaining 500 tons of gold in the Kazan Bank. ”

Christo's words made many people who didn't know the specific situation take a breath. More than 500 tons of gold is such a fortune that many people present probably have never even heard of it. At the current value of gold on the market, this is a wealth of nearly a billion dollars, which is fully capable of allowing Romania to build a high seas fleet that will make it difficult for the British to sleep, and it will still be rich.

Of course, this is strictly in accordance with the gold standard, one-to-one issuance of banknotes. In fact, no country will enforce this standard, and the countries that can issue banknotes on a one-to-three or one-to-four basis are already very conscientious, such as the major warring countries at present, which are one-to-fifteen.

And Ferridrisi was among the inhalers. As the main person in charge of preparing the retreat tools, he also had the honor to participate in this secret meeting. Like everyone else, he kept in mind what he had planned in the plan of action, which was not difficult for intelligence officers.

Christo continued after everyone digested what he had said. "According to our understanding, at present, because the Kazan Bank is considered to have been emptied by the Russian government, the forces of its defense have also been greatly transferred to collect retreat materials. At present, the strength of the bank defense guard is not much, only about seventy or eighty people. The task of seizing the Kazan Bank will be the responsibility of Shirka and Varisi. ”

At this time, Shilka, who looked a little, and Vasily, who was on his back, stood up and signaled to everyone.

Christo waited for the two of them to sit down and continued. "As soon as Shirka and Varisi seize the bank, the convoy of transports you are in charge of must keep up, Milit. I've covered for you, it's the city's material evacuation convoy, and I'll show you proof in a moment, it's enough to cover you for being questioned by the patrolling soldiers. ”

I saw a middle-aged man dressed like a government official, nodding to Christo, indicating that he already understood.

Christo continued. "The rest of you are tasked with creating chaos and keeping its defenders away from the Kazan Bank to the shipyard. As for your specific arrangements, I will talk about them next. ”

"Andes"

Christo said, pointing to a horse-faced man. "You take your own men to take care of the sabotage work at the Loveley Bridge, and the movement should be larger, and it is better to make the defenders think that someone is trying to stop the defeated army."

Without waiting for Andes to reply, Christo pointed to a round-faced man with a dark complexion and signs of wind and sun. "Nils, you're in charge of the destruction of the train station."

Christo couldn't help but ask more questions when he said this. "The railway station has always been a key area for the defenders, how is the problem on your side?"

Christo also aroused the interest of others, and the railway station was a heavily defended area in the war, and if you want to wreak havoc in it, you will have to give an account of it.

Nils, who was questioned by Christo, still did not change his face under the attention of everyone, and replied in his own deep voice. "It's not too big, I can solve it, as long as you send someone to bring explosives."

Christo nodded at Nils' answer. He knows this style very well, and as long as he agrees, he will definitely be able to do it.

Then Christo talked about some related matters, as well as precautions. Towards the end of the meeting, Christo named Frédrisi. "Feldrisi, the boat you prepare must be usable and not go wrong."

Faced with Christo's words, Federedrisi reassured. "Rest assured, I'm the most skilled worker in the shipyard and won't let the boat break down in the middle of the road."

After seeing that everything was arranged, Christo said to everyone. "Then let's all prepare, tomorrow's actions are about the future of Romania, now let's create this future."

"All for Romania."
