"I am the Prince of East Prussia of the German Empire, and I don't joke about such serious topics!" Looking at Stalin and Sharonov's very puzzled eyes, Chen Tian said in a very serious tone.

Surprise, disappointment, anger, sorrow, all kinds of expressions suddenly flooded Sharonov's face, but Stalin was not shocked, but there was a look of chagrin in his eyes.

In his opinion, this Sharonov is only an insignificant small role, at least for now, and Stalin, the man in history who led the huge alliance republics across Asia and Europe to defeat a strong enemy, although he is not yet fully mature, his political potential is beyond doubt.

"Despicable! Shameless! Such a man is not worthy of being the emperor of Russia at all, and the people will not forgive him for this lie! Sharonov looked angry, even if he didn't pass the translation, Chen Tian could probably guess what he was talking about.

"Aglini is exactly as I thought, this man must be the greatest enemy of the revolutionary party, and we should not have any illusions about him at all!" Stalin's tone was full of sorrow and remorse, "I was actually deceived by him!" Based on his record of wars with your country and with Austria-Hungary, I realized how terrible this man was, but I did not expect him to dare to lie to the whole country, to the whole world! ”

Later, Stalin told Chentian what they had seen and heard in Belarus and Minsk, and after listening to these statements, Chentian was also surprised. Aglini's plan was indeed very good, he successfully deceived the special mission of the revolutionary party, and suddenly launched an attack when Lenin and the central committee of the revolutionary party were still considering whether to adjust the border deployment with the armistice agreement, and his determination and strategy were far beyond ordinary people, if he had not personally fought with him, Chen Tian really could not believe that such a figure would appear in Tsarist Russia.

"I'm very sorry to tell you that I'm afraid the rest of the world won't have any opinion of him, because he issued a statement to all countries at noon today, saying that your revolutionary armed forces attacked his mission to Moscow and crossed the border, and then he ordered his army to launch a counterattack!" Chen Tian said expressionlessly, "Britain, France, Japan, the United States and other countries have declared their support for the righteous counterattack launched by Agreni and his army, and announced that all the assets of your revolutionary party in their country will be frozen, and any revolutionary party materials that pass through their country will also be seized by them!" ”

"Oh my God! This thing is simply horrible! Sharonov covered his eyes in pain, while Stalin bowed his head silently in deep thought.

The composure and calmness that a great leader should have in such a situation!

A strange smile suddenly appeared at the corner of Chen Tian's mouth, and the two of them didn't notice this subtle expression at all.

Regarding Aglini's attack on the Russian Revolutionary Party, both Chentian and the Kaiser had the same attitude: sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight! It didn't matter who won and who lost, the longer their civil war lasted, the better it would be for Germany. As it stands, the revolutionary party already occupies about half of the land and population of the whole of Russia, and the total number of revolutionary armed forces in all forms exceeds 5 million; The land and population under Aglini's effective control were only 30 percent and 35 percent of the country's population, respectively, and the army under his direct control was less than 2 million; The rest of Russia had become a fiefdom for other nobles and generals, and whichever side was advantageous to them would fall to the other. Therefore, it would be unwise to support either side directly. After obtaining the consent of the Kaiser, Chentian continued to provide weapons and equipment to the Russian Revolutionary Party on the one hand, and secretly promoted the exchange of prisoners of war between Austria-Hungary and Tsarist Russia, and the two sides had agreed to exchange 300,000 prisoners of war in the Polish border area; At the suggestion of Germany, Austria-Hungary also transferred the main forces stationed in Poland to the Serbian battlefield, which brought Aglini closer to the strength of the revolutionary party.

"In fact, judging by Aglini's performance in the military academy and in the army at first, we didn't care about this man at all! But I don't know why, this person has become such a terrible person now! Sharonov interjected on the side, seemingly unintentional, but it attracted Chentian's attention.

"What did you just say, Mr. Special Envoy? Aglini hasn't always been so prominent? ”

"Yes! According to the information we have, he has been a son of a gentleman and nobleman since he was a child, and his grades in the military school are very bad, but he likes to play some small intrigues and tricks, and his performance was very mediocre when he first entered the army. Compared with other Russian aristocratic officers, he was not very sociable, and his popularity was not very good, but because of his noble status, he was all the way through the army! He first served as a regimental commander in the cavalry unit, and later transferred to the Russian Imperial Guards as a division commander. Soon after, he seemed to be a different person, and his troops had distinguished themselves in many exercises. Three years ago he climbed to the position of commander-in-chief of the Guards, and during these three years, the combat effectiveness of the Guards was greatly improved, so he was highly regarded by the Tsar at the beginning of the war! After Sharonov finished speaking, Chen Tian also began to recall that in the previous encounters with Aglini, his performance did not seem to be very stable, and the raid on Kimon was a very good move, and after the German army successfully attacked Kimon at night, he commanded the troops to retreat; However, in the second battle against Kimon, his tactics felt unremarkable, and sending infantry to raid Kimon again was also a losing move, and he could only retreat in panic in the end. In both battles, Agrini behaved like two people, the former was bold and careful, and the latter was more like an ordinary Russian commander. However, his outstanding performance in the Belarusian campaign and this border battle almost made Chen Tian forget this.

"Seems to be a little strange!" Chen Tian always felt that there seemed to be something very special hidden in it, but he couldn't think of a reason for it all of a sudden.

Stalin did not seem to listen to the conversation between Sharonov and Chentian about Agrini, and it took him a while before he made his own proposal: "Your Royal Highness, on behalf of Comrade Lenin and the Central Committee of the Revolutionary Party, I strongly hope that your army will attack from Poland and take advantage of the emptiness in Aglienny's rear to occupy his lair!" In this way, our hopes of victory are greatly increased! ”

Chen Tian did not answer directly, but smiled indifferently, "If our army occupies the regions of Belarus and Ukraine, then after your party successfully defeats the Tsarist army and unifies the country, will you still want us to recover these two regions?" ”

Stalin didn't think much about it, but gritted his teeth, "No!" If your country occupies the above-mentioned areas, we will recognize your country's zhan rights to these regions after the establishment of the state! ”

"But can you make this decision on behalf of your party, on behalf of the Russian people?" Chen Tian smiled even brighter, and even had some disdain.

"This ......" Stalin was speechless.

Chen Tian slowly put away his smile, "Comrade Stalin, I can understand your feelings!" But our German allies, Austria-Hungary, were badly damaged in Belarus, and their armies needed time to regain their combat effectiveness, and on the Eastern Front, ninety percent of the troops fighting against Tsarist Russia were Austro-Hungarian troops, and our German army had only a very small part here. With our strength alone, I am afraid it will be difficult to confront the Tsarist Russian army, even if their main forces are fighting against you! All we can do is do our best to provide you with weapons! ”

The purpose of Stalin's and Sharonov's trip was to inform Germany to be careful against Agrini, but now it turned into a request for help from Germany, which also made the two of them suddenly not know what to say.

Chen Tian also saw this, and said smoothly: "The two of you are tired all the way, and they don't look very good, so let's go and rest first, and then talk about it in detail when we figure out the war situation in Russia!" ”

Stalin and Sharonov nodded, then stood up and walked out the door.

Chentian called his chief guard, Rennie, and whispered orders to keep the two men under house arrest in a safe place; If they want to see themselves, tell them that they have gone out with the legions; If they escape, they will be killed!

Rainey quickly took the order and left, and Chen Tian breathed a sigh of relief, "Stalin, I am also doing this for the sake of my country. If you stay here honestly, you might be able to live a long life! ”

By the time Rainey left, it was already 4 p.m. on Oct. 14. As he was about to go back to his family, Thomas appeared at the door of his office.

"Oh, it's our intelligence chief! Why did you come here in person, sit down! Chen Tian invited Thomas in very enthusiastically, but only he knew that this special enthusiasm was to cover up some unnatural places.

"Your Highness, we have just received a very important piece of information, and we are going to your dinner party in the evening, so we have come up! I'll take your car and go, so we can have a good talk on the way! Thomas didn't have a happy expression on his face, which was also telling Chentian that he wouldn't bring good news.

"Good! I'm coming! Chen Tian cleaned up a little and went downstairs with Thomas.

The dinner that Thomas said was initiated and held by Chentian, and the banquet was held in the castle that belonged to Chentian on the outskirts of Königsberg, and the main invitees were some of his classmates and major generals who are currently serving in the legion, in addition to reminiscing about the past, this dinner was also a celebration banquet and a feast, celebrating the Legion's previous victories in East Prussia and Poland, and the main force of the legion that was about to leave for the Western Front, including Chentian himself. Before heading for the Western Front, the East Prussian Regiment was to Berlin to receive the Kaiser's honor.

"What about your wife and children? Shall we drop by and pick them up? When Chen Tian went downstairs, he asked, Thomas and Ollie also found their other half after Chen Tian got married, Thomas now has two daughters, and Ollie has a son who is as white and fat as him. At this time, Oli was still commanding the German-Turkish coalition army in distant Turkey, and for Chentian, it was a small shortcoming of this dinner.

Thomas shook his head, "No need! They had already gone over to chat with Lisa after lunch! ”

"I really envy you, both daughters are well-behaved and sensible! Did you know that there is a proverb in the East, 'A daughter is like a mother's little padded jacket'! Compared with Thomas's serious expression, Chen Tian is much more relaxed, which also continues the habit he brought from another world, whenever he is with his classmates and old friends, he is always in a happy mood, and there are endless topics to talk about.

The two walked side by side down the red carpet steps in front of the building, and the guards had already driven the car outside the building, and the open door was facing the red carpet, which was a VIP enjoyment.

There were two cars of the same style in front of Chentian's car, and there were two armored cars in front of and behind these three cars, but this convoy drove on the street but did not attract much attention, the main force of the regiment held a grand ceremony in the city when it returned from Poland, and the citizens had seen enough armored vehicles that day, and now even if a tank is driving on the street, most people will not stop their work to come out and watch.

It was an hour's drive from the city to Chentian's castle, and it was not until the convoy left the city that Thomas spoke:

"First of all, Russian intelligence, since this morning, the Tsarist army and the revolutionary army have been fighting near Russia on the border, of which the Tsarist army is about 900,000 people, which is almost all the main force in the hands of Aglini, and the revolutionary army is about 1.3 million, most of them are the old Tsarist Russian troops who revolted before, and some are the workers' armed forces in nearby places. According to the latest information we received at 3 p.m., Aglini's victory was in sight, the old Tsarist soldiers in the revolutionary army surrendered to Aglini's army in droves, and the main positions of the revolutionary army had been completely breached, and they could hardly survive this evening. The Russian Revolutionary Party has issued a call to defend Moscow, and revolutionary forces from other places are converging on Moscow, and the defenders of Moscow now exceed 300,000 people! ”

"Well, Aglini's army is well prepared and combat-ready, the revolutionary army is relatively scattered in the border areas, and the old army that had rebelled before has not been completely transformed by them, and this situation is to be expected." After Chen Tian finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Thomas, "It's just your appetizer!" Now it's time for a big meal! I'd love to know what is causing our intelligence chief to frown! ”

"An important piece of information about the Far East!" Thomas turned his head to look at Chentian, and the moment he looked at each other, there seemed to be something flickering in the eyes of both parties.

"Qingdao? The Japanese are attacking again! Chen Tian took the file bag handed by Thomas, but he was not in a hurry to open it.

"Yes! Just two days ago, the Japanese launched a small attack, but our soldiers discovered something very special! Thomas suddenly sighed, "Something terrible, I'm afraid that Japanese spies have infiltrated our factories or our army, but luckily it's not our research institute!" ”

"You're saying that our unique weapon was found on the battlefield in Qingdao?" Chen Tian was a little surprised, he finally felt how important the information in this document bag reflected.

"Tank!" Before Chentian could take out the document inside, Thomas said the word.

"This ...... I can't believe it! ”

Chen Tian opened the file bag, and there was only a small stack of paper in it, and he couldn't wait to flip through it. The first few are telegrams from the German troops stationed in Qingdao, and the back is a detailed report, mixed with two sketches in the middle, the drawing is very simple, only a few lines, but Chen Tian can see at a glance that it is a tank, almost the same tank as the "Stone I".

"Thomas, you're right, if the Japanese did possess these weapons, they must have gotten the information before the war, otherwise they wouldn't have had time to research and manufacture these weapons after they appeared on the European battlefield!" The reality that Chentian's least favorite country actually has his favorite weapon makes him feel disappointed and angry. Originally, according to his speculation, if Germany put tanks into the battlefield at the start of the war, then Britain and France and other countries would not develop the most primitive tanks until at least half a year later.

"This weapon is only very similar to our 'Stone I' in appearance, but there is a big gap in performance!" When Thomas said this, Chen Tian also saw the description on the report:

The Japanese threw three of these weapons into the battle against our lines, they were slow, about 5 kilometers per hour according to the visual observation of our soldiers, they made a loud and noisy noise when they advanced, they could climb the slopes of mountains below 30 degrees, and rifle and machine gun bullets could not damage them. They had a small-caliber gun on the upper part, which fired a total of 23 shells during the battle. One of them slid into a river 3 meters wide and half a meter deep, and after being unable to exit the trench on its own, our artillery used 105 mm and 150 mm howitzers to concentrate on it, and finally blew it up, and the Japanese soldiers inside were estimated to have all been killed; The other broke down and stopped on the way forward, and the last one assisted the Japanese infantry to break through our defensive line, and finally our army abandoned this field defense line and retreated to the main defensive position on the outskirts of Qingdao.

"I see, you're saying that the Japanese spies didn't get detailed information about the parts of the tank, so their tanks are only similar to ours in general construction, but the performance is still much worse!" Chen Tian put down the information in his hand, the garbage of the Japanese army actually has a tank as a weapon, which is very unfavorable to the defense of the Qingdao defense line, fortunately, the current Japanese tank is only a preliminary combat test, and the effect is not too good.

Thomas nodded, "Yes, that's how I understand it!" Of course, there is also this possibility, that is, the Japanese spies stole all the design drawings, but they did not have enough technology in the country, so their tanks were far from reaching the performance of our tanks! ”

"It's less likely to sneak into our institute and steal the materials, because our tank developers are all Germans, and they rarely have contact with the outside world! As for the possibility that Japanese spies infiltrated the tank factory, that is, the former tractor factory, there is a possibility, and the army ...... "Chen Tian closed his eyes, the last thing he wanted to see was that his army was mixed with damn Japanese spies, but now it seems that this suspicion cannot be ruled out.

"It was possible for both the factories and the army, and as it stands, the Japanese had this information at least half a year before the start of the war, but they did not know much about the power and role of this weapon, and it was not until we had achieved great victories with tanks on both the Eastern and Western Fronts that they rushed their tanks into battle! Also, according to the information obtained by our spies in Britain, the British began to develop tanks only after September! Thomas said as he tried to sort out the relationship between the relevant information, but it didn't seem to be going well with him so far.

"All right, Thomas! We started from scratch, first of all, the Japanese got information from us about the tank as a weapon, right? Next, for technical reasons and not being taken seriously by the military department, the Japanese were slow to develop tanks, and they did not disclose this information to their British allies. Then, the war broke out, and our tanks showed great power in Poland, Verdun, and Paris, and the Japanese woke up like a dream, accelerated the research progress of tanks, and put the experimental products into the Qingdao battlefield for actual combat tests! Chen Tian made a preliminary summary of the two people's ideas, but this process always feels full of loopholes.

"That doesn't seem right!" After finishing speaking, Chen Tian himself felt that there was something wrong with this.

"yes, there are some places that don't make sense!" Thomas also nodded a little painfully, "If the Japanese don't pay attention to the development of tanks, why do they send spies to obtain this information?" ”

"Also, if they have access to tanks, they will definitely have access to armored vehicles, so why don't they develop this simpler weapon first?" Chen Tian also led to other questions.

"If they are really spies in the army, they will not turn a blind eye to the 'Firebird', an excellent infantry weapon!" Thomas began to scratch his head in a bit of depression, and the two of them were like scholars trapped by a philosophical topic, meditating but never understanding.

"But if you infiltrate the factory, then this spy must have a strong target, and there is a contradiction with the Japanese not paying attention to this weapon!" Chen Tian is a little crazy, no matter what the facts are, anyway, it is impossible for the Japanese to develop their own tanks in this era, this is not to despise their intelligence and imagination, this is just a fact of another world, it is impossible for the Japanese to eat the cherry corn husks he put in his meals and the residues left over from refining opium and become smart.

When the fairytale castle appeared in the sight of the convoy, the two were still struggling in their minds.
