Chapter 848 - International Volunteers
In front of the 22 field is a lawn. Although the flower beds of the lawn are still withered, judging from the clumsily trimmed and neat bushes, the owner here should be very concerned about the garden hardship and standardization, and even the side branches of the shrubs are very neat, almost as smooth as the walls.
However, at odds with the classicism of gardening, the perimeter of the villa was littered with heavily armed soldiers, carrying Russian rifles with bayonets, which glittered in the early spring sun, even from a distance.
Some of these soldiers were typical Slavic faces, while others were Easterners, but since they did not speak, it was difficult to determine whether they were from Central Asia or East Asia.
All the soldiers wore Russian uniforms, tweed overcoats, and military caps, but the styles were different, some were Cossack-style military caps, some were military caps of the Tsar's Guards, but all military caps were decorated with the military insignia of the Tsarist army.
There were also some horsemen mixed in with the infantry, who were lazily riding their horses, wandering about the manicured flower beds, where they searched for food and trampled everything they could.
While the cavalry were leisurely enjoying their happy afternoon, an old French-made truck covered with mud and dust drove into the villa area from the road in front of the villa, and the roar of the truck's engine caused the horses to temporarily stop destroying the lawn and look at the waddling old truck like their owner.
The truck's body had no canvas to block the view, and the twenty or so heavily armed soldiers loaded on the truck, and even the pedals on each side of the cab were attached to a soldier with a rifle, all of them lying on the fenders of the front wheels, and the rifles were also in front of them, and the tweed overcoats were shaking with the violent jolting of the truck, and their facial muscles seemed to be shaking at the same frequency.
"Hee"
With a long sound of brakes, the dilapidated truck with a flag of the Russian Empire in front of the front stopped in front of the steps on the west side of the villa, and then the soldiers in the car jumped out of the car, and at the same time, a colonel of the Tsar's Guards with an eastern face jumped out of the cab.
This colonel's officer is Liu Fuji, this Xuan, his right jaw is still covered with a piece of tape, this is the wound left by the last resistance battle in the suburbs of Mogilev, the injury is not serious, but the toothache caused has continued to this day, which somewhat makes Colonel Liu Fuji's mood a little irritable.
Jumping out of the truck, Liu Fuji walked down the steps to the villa, then grabbed a Russian major who tried to stop him and asked him loudly in crappy Russian.
"Is the Far Eastern Admiral in the villa now? In which room? ”
"Mr. Colonel, Mr. Admiral has commanded that no one can enter without his orders. I can do it for you. But please wait here
The Russian major who was grabbed by Liu Fuji's collar stammered a few words, and when Liu Fuji let go of his collar, he immediately turned around and ran up to the second floor of the villa.
Liu Fuji patiently waited in front of the villa for five minutes, but he couldn't wait for the Russian major to come back to restore his life, so he simply didn't wait, scolded and pushed away an adjutant, and strode into the villa with a few soldiers with eastern faces, and went up to the second floor.
When he arrived on the second floor, he heard the woman's laughter from afar, which sounded quite debauched, which made Liu Fuji frown, his footsteps did not stop, he touched the direction where the laughter came from, turned a corner in the corridor, and saw that the Russian major who was supposed to report to the Far Eastern General was now standing outside the door of a room, looking quite strange, but the oak door of that room was tightly closed, and there were two armed guards standing at the door.
"Why don't you go and report to Mr. General? What are you doing here? ”
Liu Fuji walked to the door. glanced at the odd-looking Russian major, at this time. The laughter coming from the room was heard more clearly.
"Mr. Admiral, it seems that it is not convenient to meet guests right now."
The major muttered, then glanced at the two guards standing outside the door, clearly scrupling.
Sure enough, the two guards came over and tried to drive Liu Fuji away, but Liu Fuji didn't wait for the other party's hand to touch his shoulder, he raised his foot and kicked at the sturdy oak door.
The man on the bed who was fooling around with a golden Russian woman was none other than Mr. Zhang Zongchang, a general who had recently been appointed by His Majesty the Tsar as the commander-in-chief of the Far East Army of the Russian Empire.
"Admiral! Who is that guy? It's too no-brainer! Get him out of here! ”
The Russian golden woman screamed and lifted the sheets, covering her untouched upper body.
Zhang Zongchang was lying on the bed, his head facing the door, and when he heard the woman screaming, he tilted his head and looked down at the colonel officer in the uniform of the Tsar's Guards standing at the door.
"Brother Liu, didn't you see me busy? Even if you have something to report, you have to at least stand outside the door and shout, "Report, huh?" You don't have to hold on to this one. It almost scared me half to death, if this is cowardly in front of a Russian woman, it will also be a shame on the face of our Chinese masters, right? ”
Zhang Zongchang's face was also a little unbearable, but he knew Liu Fuji's background, so he didn't dare to do it, although his tone sounded a little Changchuan, "It's the Russian woman who doesn't understand Chinese at all, and I don't know that he only cursed the evidence, not the Oriental colonel."
"Mr. Admiral! We have already assembled, left and right, and we have not seen you coming, so I have no choice but to come here myself to see if Mr. Admiral is blocked by the enemy. ”
Liu Fuji didn't have the heart to talk to Zhang Zongchang, so he told the general of the Far East Army in front of him word by word with a straight face, urging him to get dressed and rush to the train station.
"Didn't you say okay, the train at five o'clock in the afternoon? It's only four o'clock, and it's still early
Although he was a little reluctant in the end, Zhang Zongchang suppressed it, so he sat up, twisted the Russian woman's thigh, and then jumped out of bed, standing naked in front of several soldiers in front of the door to get dressed.
"Sweetheart, wait for me to come back in this villa, and when I get back, I'll bring you some fine diamond necklaces. Don't make eyebrows with other men, otherwise, let you know the methods of China's green forests
Before leaving, Zhang Zongchang coerced and seduced the Russian golden woman for a moment, grabbed the woman in the chest again, and then walked out of the room satisfied, followed Liu Fuji downstairs, asked the adjutant to prepare a carriage, and followed the truck in the direction of the Moscow railway station.
When he arrived at the Moscow railway station, Zhang Zongchang got out of the carriage, looked at the railway station, and immediately shouted.
"Good boy! The tsar is only afraid that all the soldiers of the Central Asian Military District have been transferred, right? Look at those plate faces, I'm afraid they are from the grassland, but I don't know who is more powerful than the bandits who ran rampant on the grassland back then? .
Liu Fuji was also a little surprised, and said: "Speaking of which, the tsar has really made up his mind to hold Moscow." I just don't know if I can hold it? Now there are people everywhere who oppose the tsar, and compared to the embattled Manchu court back then, the current Russian tsar is only afraid that it is not far behind
"Hah! Brother Liu, you're not right. This Russian is different from us Chinese, Russians believe in religion and faith, the tsar has always been good to the church, now some church people still support His Majesty the Tsar, and the tsar himself is Russian, unlike the Manchu emperor, the whole wheel is born, the people are not anti-strange! ”
Zhang Zongchang commented a few words, and then instructed the adjutant to contact the railway station and ask them to shunt the wagons and prepare to load the hundreds of entourage guards.
Leaving Moscow this time, Zhang Zongchang's main task was to recruit mercenaries in the Far East in order to form the "Russian Imperial Far East Army." This task was personally explained by the Tsar, and in particular, Ding instructed Zhang Zongchang not only to recruit Chinese, but also Koreans and Japanese, and the Tsar needed this mercenary army with "international colors" to act as a Qinwang army, so as to show the countries of the world that His Majesty the Tsar still has some influence in the international community and can form an "international volunteer" force.
According to Zhang Zongchang's plan, this time he took the Siberian Railway to the Far East, and he was going to gather all the heroes he had met when he was wandering in the green forest, and take them to Russia with him.
Just when Zhang Zongchang was thinking about this safe and profitable deal, Liu Fuji patted him on the shoulder and pointed into the distance.
"Mr. Admiral, look over there, I'm afraid that your Russian friend has come to cut it down for you
Zhang Zongchang fixed his eyes and saw that the carriage that was moving this way was indeed the one that Chechakov often sat in, so he hurriedly greeted it.
However, it was not only Chechakov who got out of the car, but also the court lamp chief and court prophet Rasputin, which may explain why the convoy was several times more guarded than usual.
"My friend, I am a little frustrated to see you travel far to the East, and I don't know when you will be able to rush back to Moscow, but rest assured, after you leave, I will protect our mutual friend Rasputin
Chechakov hugged Zhang Zongchang and patted the other party's back hard, if he didn't know the details and personality of this Russian deserter, maybe Zhang Zongchang would have been moved by his actions, but unfortunately, Zhang Zongchang knew him well, so he acted on the spot.
"Go, go to the East to recruit your brave soldiers, and I will pray for you
Rasputin was not so pretentious, and still took out the posture of a prophet and fooled Zhang Zongchang, who came from the family of the Shenhan witch. "My friend, we will meet soon, and I hope we will meet again in Moscow and not in Yekaterinburg. Please protect our Tsar, Your Majesty, I will return with a very combat-ready Far Eastern Army, and then we will be able to fight side by side.
”
Zhang Zongchang was also "moved" and burst into tears, and Liu Fuji, who was standing beside him, had no choice but to pin his face away, so as not to have a too strange expression.
The two sides chattered in front of the train station for half an hour, and when Zhang Zongchang finally boarded the train, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.
"Farewell, Moscow, perhaps, I will come back, but never to defend the Russian Empire
Looking at the golden spire of the building in the distance, Liu Fuji said to himself in his heart that he also believed that as long as the Russian civil war broke out in full force, the fall of Moscow was almost inevitable, and it did not matter which side the army that captured the city belonged to, the important thing was that in this Russian civil war, China would become a beneficiary, and many Chinese would also benefit from this Russian civil war, including the general who was proficient in eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling around him.
