"Mr. Leng, those prisoners of war are all prisoners of war of the Russian army, are they willing to go with us?" Ulyanov looked at Leng Chuan and sneered, he was not so easy to be fooled.
"Of course, Mr. Ulyanov. Last time, the Russians redeemed only half a million people, leaving more than half of them. For more than half of the people, they are equivalent to outcasts. These people already have complaints about Russia, plus our deliberate guidance. If your party can use a little bit of dim sum to win the hearts and minds of these prisoners of war, I don't think it will be a problem at all! Leng Chuan said with a smile.
Ulyanov was silent, he was thinking about whether what Leng Chuan said was true or false. The current Russian Democratic Labor Party is in a very dangerous situation, although there are still millions of troops, but the army that has not been systematically trained and lacks weapons is the opponent of the elite Russian army. If there is no other help, then it is only a matter of time before they are exterminated by the Russian army.
Ulyanov really did not want to see such a day come, and the purpose of the establishment of the Russian Democratic Labor Party was to work for the welfare of the suffering people. He had thought that this uprising would be a success, and that they were about to succeed, but in the end it still fell short, and he was very unwilling. And now, the olive branch in the depths of the Chinese side seems to have become their last straw. Originally, they could also get support from Germany. However, after withdrawing from Ukraine, Germany seems to think that the Russian Democratic Labor Party has lost. Not wanting to waste any more energy on them, not only did he remove all the instructors, but he also cut off support for them, making their situation even more difficult. China, on the other hand, wants to use their hand to weaken Russia, but there is no doubt that this is their last chance.
"Mr. Leng, there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world. If we are going to get those prisoners of war, what are we going to pay for? Ulyanov asked. He has always believed in it. The Chinese will not be so kind. He knew that with China's strength, even if Russia recovered, it would not necessarily be China's opponent. China wants to help the Russian Democratic Labor Party, in addition to continuing to weaken Russia's national power. There must be other purposes.
"Of course, those prisoners of war, if no one redeems them, will work in Siberia for the rest of their lives. Now, your party needs an army, especially an elite army, so we will simply send these people. Of course. Your party needs to pay 100 million pounds for these prisoners of war, like the Tsar! Leng Chuan said with a smile. The Chinese emperor Wang Yuze planned to make 200 million pounds with the millions of Russian prisoners of war, so naturally he couldn't talk and didn't count. Although, these Russian prisoners of war could serve as coolies. But rather than using these Russian prisoners of war, Wang Yuze was more willing to hire hard-working Japanese at a low price, or directly capture the natives in the Nanyang region.
"100 million pounds? My God! Mr. Leng, what are you kidding? Where did we get the 100 million pounds? Ulyanov looked surprised. He knew that the Chinese would put forward conditions. But I didn't expect the appetite of the Chinese to be so big.
"Mr. Ulyanov, you don't have to hide it anymore. We already know that. Your party has killed so many nobles in Ukraine, and has obtained a lot of good things, gold, jewelry, and all kinds of antiques, which are definitely worth more than 100 million pounds. Of course, although this money is a lot, it is definitely worth the money. Tsar Nicholas II paid 100 million pounds, so he stabilized the war, and now has won a decisive victory. If your party pays £100 million, it is likely that your party will turn the situation around completely. Of course, Mr. Ulyanov, the final decision rests with you. If you don't agree, then I can't do anything! Leng Chuan said calmly.
Ulyanov's face turned blue and white for a while, and the Russian Democratic Labor Party, when it was in Ukraine, went on a killing spree, killing a lot of nobles and capitalists, and indeed got a lot of money, with a total value of about 120 million pounds. Originally, Ulyanov intended to use this money to start large-scale state-building after overthrowing the rule of Tsar Nicholas II, building Russia into a rich and powerful state. However, now these Chinese are eyeing the money. Of course, as Leng Chuan said, he can refuse. But what about after the rejection? The uprising of the Russian Democratic Labour Party will certainly end in failure, and their years of hard work will once again come to naught.
"Mr. Leng, the asking price of 100 million pounds is too high, can it be cheaper? For example, 50 million pounds, I think that's a very reasonable price! Ulyanov said.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Ulyanov, £100 million, that's our bottom line. Tsar Nicholas II paid a price of 100 million pounds, so the victory was won, and your party will have to pay at least so much if it wants to turn the tide. Leng Chuan shook his head.
"Mr. Leng, our party and your country share common interests, and Russia, ruled by the tyrannical Tsar Nicholas II, is also a huge threat to China. If our uprising succeeds, I guarantee that Russia will live in peace with China! Ulyanov said.
"I'm sorry, but I don't have the authority to change this decision. However, if your party pays 100 million pounds, in addition to the more than 500,000 prisoners of war, we can arm these prisoners of war with weapons free of charge, so that your party can also send these elite troops into battle as soon as possible. This is already our last concession. If your party still doesn't agree, then I can only take my leave! Leng Chuan said.
Ulyanov quickly thought that if China could send weapons, it would be able to save a lot of money. After all, Tsar Nicholas II paid 100 million pounds, but he only received 500,000 prisoners of war. Relatively speaking, the Russian Democratic Labor Party has taken advantage. Above all, there are not many options available to the Russian Democratic Labour Party.
"Mr. Leng, wait a minute, I need to discuss it with the other people. In an hour at most, I can give you an answer! Ulyanov said. He was already tempted, but although he was the leader of the Russian Democratic Labor Party, he could not do exactly what he said, and he needed to convince other people to use that amount of money.
"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news!" Leng Chuan said. Then a young man, led by a young man, left Ulyanov's office.
Soon, Ulyanov summoned the leaders of the Russian Democratic Labor Party and explained the matter to them. Suddenly, it caused a heated discussion among everyone. Some people are in favor of it, believing that this is the last chance for the Democratic Labor Party to accede to China's demands. A hundred million pounds is a lot, but if the uprising is won, it will be worth the cost. There are also many people who oppose it, arguing that China is also an enemy of Russia, that China forcibly occupied more than half of Russia's territory in the last war, and that although the Democratic Labor Party opposes the Tsar, it also opposes these Chinese, so they believe that they should not cooperate with China.
Finally, Ulyanov made it clear that it is necessary to look at the problem in two parts, and that the most serious thing facing the Russian Democratic Labor Party at present is the question of survival. The millions of elite Russian troops led by Grand Duke Nikolai are about to be killed, and they, at root, will not be able to contend with these elite Russian troops. Once defeated, the uprising would be a complete failure. The opportunity that I got so hard to get has passed like this again. As for the contradictions between China and Russia, we can put it aside for the time being, wait for the overthrow of Tsar Nicholas II's rule, and build Russia into a powerful country, and then settle accounts with China, and regain the huge war reparations that have been plundered by China in the territories occupied by China, and so on.
Ulyanov's speech was agreed by everyone, and after discussion, everyone finally reached an agreement. That is the Russian Democratic Labor Party, temporarily cooperating with China to obtain 500,000 elite troops at the cost of 100 million pounds. After overthrowing the rule of Tsar Nicholas II, he will find an opportunity to start a war with China and regain the part that belongs to Russia.
Immediately after the meeting, Ulyanov replied to Leng Chuan. Three days later, in Makhachkala on the Caspian coast, a merchant ship from China carried away 100 million pounds worth of gold, jewellery and antiques. Leng Chuan and Ulyanov's hundreds of henchmen also set off with the merchant ships, and the destination was Atyrau on the northern shore of the Caspian Sea, which is currently part of the sphere of influence of the Kazakh Autonomous Region, where China has already sent those prisoners of war of the Russian army to wait for the Russian Democratic Labor Party. On this issue, the Chinese side did not play tricks, nor did it eat black, but directly collected money and did not do anything. After all, the Chinese side still counted on the Russian Democratic Labor Party to fight to the death with Tsar Nicholas II, and in the end, China's good fishermen benefited.
On May 4, the merchant ships arrived in Atyrau, and the Russian Democratic Labor Party entered the prisoner of war camp, began to brainwash the prisoners of war, and then took control of the army of the prisoners. Finally, relying on this army, it crossed the Ural River and attacked the Russian hinterland to relieve the pressure on the Caucasus side.
By this time, Grand Duke Nikolai had already commanded millions of Russian troops and launched an attack on the Russian Democratic Labor Party's troops who had retreated to the Caucasus. The army of the Russian Democratic Labor Party is losing and retreating, and it will not be able to resist the attack of the elite Russian ** team!
