After leaving Russia for more than three months, Witte finally returned to St. Petersburg on October 17, when Russia was already in the cold winter, and when he got off the train, Witte saw another icy and snowy sky. Witt looked at www.biquge.info platform, when he left Petersburg there were two people - he and Zaloeva, but this time he came back in a group of people, and in addition to him were Vadim and his companions.

Last time, Arkhipov and Vadim went to Vilnius to pick up Vadim's friends, but I didn't expect this little guy to be surprisingly good, a total of 57 people in a large and small group, and when Werther saw so many people for the first time, he was really scared, so Werther had to divide these people into two groups, and he came back with 12 people this time. On his way back from Berlin, Witte had to rent a whole carriage at great expense, which of course did not cost him anything after entering the territory of Russia.

When Witte returned, he did not go to the Winter Palace to meet Nicholas II, but went straight to his manor on the outskirts of his estate, and after letting the old butler Leongi take care of arranging the accommodation of these people, Witte took Vadim to the parlor, where Witt's parents and uncle Sergei had been waiting at home for a long time.

"Father, mother, uncle, I'm back." When Witt entered the hall, he first greeted everyone, and then introduced Vadim to everyone: "This is Vadim, if he hadn't saved me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to come back in Vilnius, now he is my younger brother, I hope that my father, mother and uncle will agree to Vadim to become a member of our Werther family." ”

Werther's father smiled and said, "Your mother and I both want to have another child, and now that there is such a lovely guy who can become a member of our family, of course I don't have any opinion, what about you, Sergei?" ”

Werther's uncle Sergei smiled indifferently and said: "Our Werther family is thin, although we are all in high positions now, but the family inheritance cannot be broken. I like this little guy very much, I don't have any opinion. Then he said to Werther: "Vasya, I want Vadim to be my child, do you agree?" ”

Werther knew that the thing that his uncle probably regretted the most now was that he did not have any children of his own, and although he had been married twice so far, the children around him were all born to his wife and her previous husband, and they were all girls. Witt then said: "Of course there is no problem, Vadim is my brother anyway. Vadim, do you agree? ”

Vadim looked at Sergey, then at Werther and said, "Brother, will I have a father and a mother in the future?" ”

When Sergei heard this, he got up and stepped forward, squatted down in front of Vadim and said, "From now on, I will be your father!" Sergei caressed Vadim lovingly, and tears dripped from Vadim's eyes and murmured: "Dad! ”

Vadim became Sergey. Werther's adopted son, his name also became Vadim. Sergeyevich. For Vadim, he has gained the long-lost father's love, and for Sergei he can finally get his wish to be a good father.

After these matters were dealt with, the Werther family had dinner, and then Werther began to talk with his father and uncle in the common room. Sergei. Witt said: "Vasya, don't be rash alone next time if you go out, it's too dangerous." ”

"I know uncle, I'll be careful." Werther replied.

Werther's father looked at the changes in Werther over the past year, more mature and more stable, but there was still one thing missing, so he said: "Vasya, what is the matter with you and the daughter of General Zaloyev's family?" Why did she return to Petersburg alone, since she had not appeared in any social circles, and sat alone at home, General Zaloyev and his wife were very anxious, but it was difficult to ask. ”

When Witt heard the situation after Zaloeva came back, his expression darkened, and he still couldn't let go, but Witt now clearly knew that he couldn't be with Zaloyeva, because they were people from two worlds, but looking at the eager eyes of his father and uncle, Witte had no choice but to say: "A little incident happened between me and Zaloeva in Berlin, when His Majesty urgently telegraphed me to organize a German intelligence station to understand the relations between Germany, Austria-Hungary and Turkey, and I can't tell Zaloeva about such a thing. So much so that she thought I had abandoned her and returned to Petersburg in a bad mood. ”

When Sergei heard this, he said: "Since this is the case, men should focus on their careers, such a girl does not know the general situation, and our Witte family must not want it." Werther's father nodded approvingly. Sergei continued: "Vasya, what are your new plans for coming back this time? Your Majesty would like you to continue to be in charge of the Intelligence Bureau, but I suggest that you move to another location, after all, the reputation of the Intelligence Bureau is not very good, and it will not be good for you in the future. ”

"Uncle, I'm going to come back this time to ask Your Majesty to let me go to Qingguo." Werther replied.

"Qingguo?" Werther's father asked anxiously, "Why did you go to Qingguo?" ”

Witte explained to his father: "Since the signing of the Treaty of Defense Alliance with the Qing State, the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway has not been a problem, so the next question is how to control the Far East." In order to completely control the Far East, it is necessary to understand everything there, and to be wary of the actions of the Japanese, so I am ready to go to Qing to understand this country and set up our intelligence system in Qing and Japan over and over again. ”

"Vasya, I agree with your idea, this time the first counsellor of the Russian embassy in Qing is absent, and I will ask you to serve as this counsellor in front of Your Majesty, and Your Majesty will definitely agree with your point of view. However, it is very complicated in the Qing Kingdom, you must be prepared, I can introduce you to the high-ranking officials of the Qing Kingdom, and it will be much more convenient for you to go there. Sergey Witt said.

Witte nodded, and then said: "Uncle, father, you should pay attention to the dispute between Greece and Turkey, I think that war between the two countries is very likely, and it will not be later than April next year. ”

When Sergei heard this, he was shocked and asked: "Are you sure?" ”

"Sure! Therefore, before leaving for the Qing Kingdom this time, I will also ask Your Majesty to send more troops to the Caucasus, and once Turkey goes to war with Greece, we will take the opportunity to send troops south to the Balkans and get back what we did not get in the last war. Witt said.

After hearing this, Sergei hurriedly said: "Vasya, don't worry, this matter is too big. Greece could not be an opponent of Turkey, so this war would not last too long. I am afraid that there will be problems in the timing of our dispatch of troops, and I will make overall arrangements for this matter, and we in Russia will definitely seek a lot of rights and interests from it. Seeing this, Witt had no choice but to respond.

Early the next morning, Witte went to the Winter Palace to meet with Nicholas II, where he reported to Nicholas II the detailed work of the current intelligence station in Berlin, and then explained his future plans. "Vasya, are you really determined to go to Qingguo? It's a wild place, and the people are not friendly to us, do you have to go? Nicholas II asked.

Witte repeated what he had said to Sergei last night: "Your Majesty, since the signing of the Treaty of Defense Alliance with the Qing State, the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway is no longer a problem, then the next question is how to control the Far East. In order to completely control the Far East, it is necessary to understand everything there, and to be wary of the actions of the Japanese, so I am ready to go to Qing to understand this country and set up our intelligence system in Qing and Japan over and over again. ”

"Well, the first counselor of the embassy in the Qing State is absent, and Minister Baburov has just arrived, and this time you have assisted Minister Babrov in his work." Nicholas II said, "There is one more thing I want to tell you, Ulyanov was rescued, and now his whereabouts are unknown, you must be careful. ”

Witte pretended to be angry: "What are the intelligence officers of Minusinsk Oblast doing? And how does Romanloff manage the following? If such a felony is allowed to escape, His Majesty will definitely recapture Ulyanov, a dangerous element. ”

"You don't blame Romanov for this matter, Arkhipov went to Europe, and Romanov was only transferred from Moscow to Petersburg to take charge of the work of the Intelligence Bureau, I can understand the slight mistake." Nicholas II smiled, "After the incident, he has dealt with the officials below the head of the Minusinsk Oblast Intelligence Bureau, and has also asked for punishment, and has already arranged for people to go after him." ”

Witt still said angrily: "Anyway, Romanloff can't escape the blame, and the ministers will go to the Intelligence Bureau to rectify it, and the personnel of the Intelligence Bureau are a little too proud." ”

Nicholas II nodded, and Witte retreated when he saw this, and the moment he walked out of the Winter Palace, the winter sun shone on his body, and Witte felt comfortable.
