In the face of the British ambassador's doubts, the Northwest came up with a normal employment contract, which no one can deny, even if the British suspect that there are other tricks in it, it cannot expose it, after all, the reason is legitimate. There is no legal problem with the export of labor services of more than 10 million people, although everyone knows that there must be a problem in this, but on the surface, it is reasonable, and it is impossible to say it clearly if it is really entangled.

In the end, the question of the Northwest did not get a result, only knowing one thing, the Northwest has not completely joined the ranks of the Allies, but only uses the Allies to reap benefits, just like the United States, which may be the greatest relief.

The British ambassador also took the opportunity to ask the northwest to return the prisoners of war, and if all the 350,000 British prisoners of war could be returned, this would be a big boost for the British, and a large number of veterans and recruits who are now enthusiastically signing up can quickly make up for the previous losses.

It's a pity that the Northwest categorically refused, the Northwest used the pretext that the ownership of the prisoners of war belonged to Germany, and could not be handed over to Britain casually to prevaricate the past, the Northwest was not Beiyang, let alone the revolutionary party, and the artillery like a mountain in the First World War of Qingdao made Britain dare not bully and oppress lightly, and easily defeated Japan, which made Britain have to upgrade his rank, from the original second-rate power, to the level of a first-class power, to deal with the navy is a sneak attack, but the strong army plus a fairly good navy, The northwest is not being bullied casually, if it really has to be put into the camp of the allies, then the situation in the whole of Asia will immediately erode.

Britain and France returned in vain and watched as prisoners of war were transported from Germany to the Middle East. Then it is transported to China by sea through guò. The first British prisoners of war had already entered China. Most of the French ones have also come, and even if they are blocked, they are Russian prisoners of war, because they have the most people, and they are put to be transported last. The British will not offend China in order to help Russia, and the final truth of the so-called massacre rumors is like this, and Britain has no choice but to pinch its nose and admit it.

Surprisingly, after getting the truth. Britain did not expose this truth, since Germany did not say it, of course Britain would not help Germany to publicize, on the one hand, Britain felt that such a misunderstanding was a good thing for Britain, after all, the British people's spirit of resistance to Germany was quite high. Besides, after really clarifying the problem. Can we solve the problem of qiē, these people are sent to China as labor exports, and the number is huge, after it is really explained. There is no benefit at all for the current form shì. No matter how you say that the panic of the people is all about saving zài, this time the arrest operation is just on this basis. And he added another fire, and that was it. It completely settled Belgium and northern France, and thanks to the efforts of Germany. Restore social order. It really has to be explained clearly, Belgium and France will not be able to return to the original state, people are still in the hands of Germany, who knows whether they will do it. In addition, the German occupation forces are not bullying them much, the society is stable, and their lives are stable, a little worse than before, but not much, who will let go of a comfortable life and choose a life of licking blood on the knife, which is not in line with human nature.

No one will do it, the inertia continues in Europe, the north of Belgium and France has begun to stabilize, Britain and France have no other small moves, and even Russia, which has been hit by a huge blow, is quite stable, because of the relationship with Germany's large area, they have also heard rumors that some prisoners of war have disappeared, but unfortunately they have heard that they have ignored it at this time, with the direct support of Britain and France, the United States' arms order, Russia is slowly licking its wounds, and there is no time to care about anything else, Not to mention taking care of those prisoners of war, he pretended to be a deaf and dumb person for the prisoners of war, and he didn't care at all.

Throughout the winter, Russia must complete conscription, basic training, and even integration before it can be deployed to the front line before the beginning of next spring. The winter in Russia is unusually long, but it will pass after all, at most in April and May next year, the ice and snow will melt, and the wild will also change from a forbidden area of nature to a paradise of life. This is not only the consensus of the Russian government, but also recognized by the tsar, who even took out a rare part of his personal funds to deal with the current situation, even a very small part of the funds, which is already considered to be precious.

Most of the composition of the prisoners of war transported by Germany to China, as well as some of the main information, have been sent by telegram, because the amount of prisoners of war is too huge to list them all, Yang Yuanzhao still looked at the transmitted things intently, and after confirming them again and again, he said to Shi Lei: "It seems that Germany's purpose is also quite clear!" ”

Shi Lei was slightly puzzled, as the director of the Intelligence Bureau, he can be said to have participated in the activities of most of the secret fronts in the northwest, the intelligence layout of foreign countries, when it was still the most rudimentary, and he could also get information through some public channels, Germany was also among them, looked at the above figures, compared the German public figures, there is not much difference, more than 1 million prisoners of war, or more than 1 million, is it possible that there are thousands of people, is it also the purpose of Germany, what is the purpose of this Germany?

Yang Yuanzhao didn't pay attention to Shi Lei's expression, and said leisurely: "If I'm not mistaken, the Russian army is a surrender in formation!" ”

Shi Lei nodded and said: "That's right, it's the surrender of the establishment, basically, Germany didn't spend much effort!" ”

"Since it was surrendered in formation, the officers at all levels must be fully equipped, and at most some will die, I am sure that among the more than 1.3 million Russian prisoners of war who came over, there were no senior officers, not a single one!"

Senior officer, Shi Lei was stunned for a moment, with the figure of 1.3 million, senior officers, at least to reach the regimental level, such people, among the 1.3 million people, there should be a lot, but thousands of people, there is no impact at all! This is not a battle of commanding troops, and these pampered high-ranking officers, maybe none of them are useful!

Yang Yuanzhao didn't say much, some people in later generations believed that Ulyanov's return to China was because of the Germans' means, the Germans detained Ulyanov, and they had always been ill-intentioned, and put it back at a critical moment, in order to help Germany and occupy an advantage in the war, but this unintentional move not only affected Russia, but also made Russia completely chaotic, and finally in the war against Russia and Russia's withdrawal from the war, it got a big bargain, and gained a large amount of territory and population. It also achieved the advantage of the First World War, the entire Eastern Front was completely over, and Germany could even put all its energy on the Western Front if it had time to adjust.

Unfortunately, this advantage disappeared after that, for Germany, did not foresee the entry of the United States into the war, did not foresee the Spanish flu, this virus, can be said to be one of the reasons for the end of the First World War, and therefore, Germany was defeated, surrendered, lost the opportunity to have Russian territory again, and the Soviet Union took the opportunity to recover those territories, and even occupied part of the territory that originally belonged to Germany.

In this simple list, Yang Yuanzhao saw many things, in his opinion, this conjecture is very likely to be true, and even these prisoners of war exported by Germany to the northwest are low-level officers and soldiers, which also represents that purpose. Those useful senior officers, generals who may influence a certain situation, etc., these will remain in Germany's hands and let them out at a critical moment. In World War I that year, if the winner was Germany, it would have been smoother to intervene in the Soviet Union, and even many hole cards that had not yet been played out were not turned over in the end, and no one knew what the result was. Now, Germany is in a better form than it has historically been, not only overpowering Britain and France on the Western Front, occupying one-third of France's territory, but also successfully bringing Russia into the encirclement on the Eastern Front, capturing 1.3 million troops and annihilating even more.

The arrival of the harsh winter shattered the possibility of a quick victory for Germany, and even when the spring came, it was necessary to choose whether to capture Paris or attack Russia, but in the heart of Wilhelm II, a decision had been made, on the one hand, Paris was the capital of France, which was more important than Russia's eastern territory, on the other hand, France was located in the south, and the spring would be earlier, maybe more than a month earlier than the north.

Therefore, some preparations must be made in advance, and Germany not only considered using Ulyanov to disrupt Russia, but also considered that if Ulyanov and these people can really realize their ideas, there must be a process of countermeasures and weakening, then these high-ranking generals will be useful.

Napoleon's lesson told Europe that Russia could not be directly conquered, and that the huge territory and population, even if they occupied their capital Petrograd, could not make them submit, not to mention that the huge territory became their talisman, even if it was as strong as Napoleon, it was defeated after taking Moscow, not to mention that the situation in Germany is far worse than that of France back then, and it is best to let them kill each other, and gradually weaken is the best policy, Germany is fighting in Europe, and take an offensive against France, For Russia, it is relatively restrained, and the choice of France as the main direction of attack is because of this, on the one hand, the feud between Germany and France, and on the other hand, because of Russia itself.

"Mr. Yang, do you think those high-ranking officers are useful, or I will inform the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and let them add this article among the prisoners of war!" Shi Lei saw that Yang Yuanzhao seemed to attach great importance to this matter, and said along the side.

Yang Yuanzhao shook his head and said, "There is no need to make extraneous branches, they won't give it!" (To be continued......)
