In the eastern part of the Kingdom of Ukraine, there is a small town called Dovrinsik. Although, it is located on the border between the Kingdom of Ukraine and Burussia, it is prosperous. When Russia ruled Ukraine, Ukrainians lived in great poverty, many people could not even eat enough, and famine was a frequent occurrence. You know, Ukraine is an important breadbasket for Russia. They provided the Russian government with a large amount of food every year, but in the end they could not even feed themselves. In the event of a natural disaster, people will starve to death.

It can be said that Ukrainians have always been very dissatisfied with the oppression of Russians. As the second largest ethnic group in Russia, Ukrainians not only do not enjoy much power, but are still oppressed.

However, since the founding of the Kingdom of Ukraine, when Kaiser Wilhelm III also served as King of Ukraine, the lives of Ukrainians have changed dramatically. Although Germany also needs Ukrainian grain and other resources, they do not plunder directly, but buy them at market prices. This allows Ukrainians to reap a lot of money by growing grain. In addition, taxes in Germany are not high, which makes the lives of Ukrainians better and better.

For the current life, Ukrainians are very satisfied. They are even more grateful to Kaiser Wilhelm III. If a war breaks out between Germany and Russia, almost all Ukrainians will be on the side of Germany and help Germany defeat Russia. Because they knew that if Germany were defeated, they would return to being enslaved by the Russians. They don't want to live like that again.

On the territory of the Kingdom of Ukraine, not exclusively Ukrainians, either. In the eastern part of the Kingdom of Ukraine, there are also quite a few Russians. It's just that these Russians are now enjoying a life of affluence, which makes them not want to go back to Burussia at all. Although the people are the masters of the country, in reality, the power is still in the hands of the top bureaucrats. Ordinary people in Burussia still have a very bad life. Especially in the years when Germany and Russia cooperated, in order to get more machinery and equipment from Germany, Britain exported a large number of agricultural products to Germany in exchange for those machinery and equipment. And almost all of those agricultural products were snatched from the mouths of ordinary Burussians. Many people were even shot in order to hide their food.

It is precisely because of this situation that many Russians who have relatives in Ukraine have quietly crossed the border and fled to Ukraine. Although the border between Russia and Russia is very tight, once the escapees are caught, they are often dealt with seriously. It still yielded and prevented those people from fleeing to Ukraine.

In 1939, there was a severe drought in Burussia, and the grain harvest failed in a large area. And Ukraine has also experienced drought, but the situation is not serious. Coupled with the timely adjustment of taxes in Germany, the lives of Ukrainians have not been greatly affected. However, it is not the same on the territory of Burussia. In order to cope with the increasingly responsible international situation and the very possibility of war, Burussia is also preparing for war. Grain reserves are undoubtedly a very important item among war materials. Therefore, the Russian government not only did not reduce taxes due to natural disasters, but intensified them. This has made life more difficult for many Russians, and even more so have decided to flee to Ukraine.

Of course, the Russian government has long expected such a situation. Joseph ordered the Russian Army to strengthen the management of border defense and prevent those *** elements from escaping to Ukraine. Anyone who tries to flee to Ukraine or the Kingdom of Belarus will be shot if caught.

Joseph hoped that such severe punishment would deter people who tried to escape. After all, in the overall strength of a country, population is also very important. Especially during the war years, soldiers needed to be recruited from the population, and the weapons and equipment needed to fight the war, as well as food, also needed to rely on these people.

Joseph absolutely did not expect that it was precisely because of his order that a large-scale conflict broke out between Brahmania and the Kingdom of Ukraine, and thus detonated the war between Germany and the entire Allies and Brahmania. The world war broke out because of this.

June 14, 1939, at 4 a.m., Dovzhanyk, eastern Ukraine. The border on the side of the Buo-Russian side. Inside a ditch, dozens of yellow-skinned Russians were hiding. Among them, there are not only men, but also women and consumed. They are people from nearby villages, and because they can't survive anymore, they decide to flee to Ukraine. Although the border control between the Buenos and Russia has become stricter, they still decided to give it a try. After all, if you continue to stay in the village, you will wait to starve to death.

Half a month ago, all their grain had been collected by the tax collectors. As a result, they even had to live on wild vegetables, tree bark and grass roots for half a month. Now, they really can't get by, so they want to take a risk.

"There's still half an hour to go, and it's time for the changing of the guard. Bear with me, everybody. Note that you must not be able to make a sound. If we are found by those who are soldiers, we will die! A middle-aged man, whose name is Yakov, said that he was the organizer of the fugitives who fled to Ukraine this time.

The other fugitives all nodded. In their eyes, there is firmness.

Although they all know that this road is very dangerous, and the slightest mistake can cost you your life. However, in order to be able to survive, they can no longer care about so much. Rather than being starved to death, it is better to take the risk and try, and maybe there will be a chance of survival.

Time passed minute by minute, and half an hour was quickly up.

Led by Yakov, the fugitives crawled out of the ditch, bent their waists, and groped towards the border.

At this time, it was not yet light. However, there is already a hint of fish belly white on the horizon. If this continues, it will soon be dawn. Fortunately, they are not far from the border, and as long as they cross the border, they will be able to live.

However, Yakov did not know that the timing of the changing of the guard of the border troops of the Russian army was not fixed. In particular, in order to prevent fugitives, the changing time of the guard will be changed in three or two days. In fact, half an hour ago, the border guards had already completed the changing of the guard. Therefore, Yakov and his men rushed over and hit the hands of the border guards of the Russian Army.
