The Germans had a hard time, but Russia had the worst time in Europe. Although on the surface, Russia and the United States are similar in that they both have huge lands, and in a sense they may be even better, because most of Russia is not developed at all. But the problem is that those lands in Russia are cold wastelands, which are completely different from the western part of the United States. In the United States, as long as the central government approves it, and the states do not oppose it, people who have no food can still have a great chance of supporting themselves as long as they find a piece of wasteland to plant. But the wastelands of Russia are a different matter, and it is impossible for the poor who have nothing to eat in that great wasteland to grow enough food to feed themselves. Because the environment of that great wilderness is too harsh.

Although the latitude of Siberia is not higher than that of Alaska, the natural environment is very different. Alaska is desolate and cold, but in winter the temperature is only minus 30 or 40 degrees. But the vastness of Siberia has long been different, with temperatures in the cold heart of the Northern Hemisphere even below the North Pole in winter. The second-lowest measured temperature ever recorded in the forests of Siberia fell to more than minus 60 degrees Celsius. Temperature is only one aspect, and a big problem is traffic. Alaska has several large and small ports, including ice-free ports like Anchorage, and even the most inland areas are only a few hundred kilometers away, and it is relatively easy to lay railroads or something. And Siberia, thousands of kilometers are large forests and no man's land. All transportation needs to be done by land, and land is naturally the most difficult mode of transportation. So not to mention the beginning of the twentieth century, even in the twenty-first century, Siberia is almost a wilderness comparable to Antarctica.

With Siberia in the way, and being defeated by the emerging Japan in the Far East, the road to expanding into the warmer lands of the Far East to alleviate the crisis is no longer working. Although, logically speaking, Russia has a smaller proportion of its economy than Germany, it stands to reason that they should be hit a little less in a crisis. However, also because of the underdevelopment of industry and the greater remnants of feudalism, Russia's ability to organize society and resist natural and social disasters was far inferior to that of Germany, where the German government still had the strength to suppress strikes and riots everywhere. Move or something, and have the ability to divide those SPDs. But the Russian government did not have such a capacity, so the throne under the Tsar's ass was more unstable than the one under the Kaiser's ass.

At this time, the only solution to the problem for Russia is to move to Turkey.

……

"Khalid, Ilkhan, and a few of you, take the good guys and come with me." Ilreddy Hassan shouted to several Turkish soldiers.

Ilreddy claimed that he had received word that something seemed wrong with the village of an Armenian, who might be engaged in smuggling. According to Ilredi, the head of Turkey's local police, this is definitely good news. The investigation of smuggling means, of course, the confiscation of smuggled goods, and the confiscated goods, in addition to some of them being handed in, will be withheld by any police station. And this part, of course, will be privately divided. Therefore, Director Ilreddy has always been the most enthusiastic about this kind of work, far more enthusiastic than catching thieves or something.

This is true not only of the Chief Ilreddy, but of all the police officers in the entire bureau. In particular, it is definitely a good deal to go to the villages where the infidels live to check for smuggling...... Ah, it should be said that it is a good opportunity to serve the motherland. As a place that has actually been reduced to a semi-colony, there was a Manchu empire across Asia, Europe and Africa, and of course it was also a dumping market for European countries to a large extent, so who doesn't have a little foreign goods at home, not to mention anything else, at least, British cotton cloth, American kerosene used to light lamps, there are definitely there. Therefore, the Turkish police go out to catch smugglers almost immediately, because as long as they search the homes of those infidels, they can directly use these things as evidence of their involvement in smuggling, and then further confiscate the other property of these infidels as "illegal gains", and then arrest those infidels into the bureau as smugglers, and then wait for the family members to pool money to bring people back. Therefore, catching smuggling is indeed a good activity that can particularly arouse the interest of the policemen, especially arouse their morale, and especially arouse their patriotic enthusiasm.

A dozen policemen quickly secured their weapons and, under the personal leadership of Director Ilreddy, went overnight in the direction of the Armenian village, where smuggling was reportedly committed. Generally speaking, as the director of the bureau, Ilreddy does not have to personally lead the team in everything, but there is an exception for such an important matter as catching smuggling, because Ilreddy is worried that if he does not personally keep an eye on it, the policemen under him will not be serious and irresponsible, so that the stolen goods found will be greatly reduced, and of course, the distribution to him will naturally be reduced. Therefore, for such an important matter, he must take the lead and personally lead the team.

In order to prevent the Armenians from transferring the stolen goods in advance, Ilreddy would always lead his men to attack the Armenian villages at dawn, because the Armenians were very cunning, and if they went in the daytime, the Armenians would find them from afar, and then these vile, cowardly, and cowardly infidels would run into the mountains and hide, so that he could not catch anyone. So, it's best to wait until dawn for this kind of thing.

It was still the middle of the night when Ilreddy rode with a dozen policemen to the vicinity of the Armenian village called Little Mine. Ilreddy did not immediately rush into the village with his men, for it was night, and if the Armenians were running around, it was dark night, and they would not be able to catch the Armenians. So Ilreddy and the others stopped to rest in a grove outside the village while waiting for dawn.

……

At dawn, Ilreddy took a nap and was woken up by his police.

"Director, it's dawn!"

"Ah, it's finally dawn?" Ilreddy looked at the eager eyes of the policemen, and he sensed their loyalty to their cause and their bravery in the face of the infidels.

"Alright, let's go!" Ilreddy ordered, then mounted his horse and rushed towards the village with more than a dozen policemen on horseback.

At this time, it was just dawn, and the people in the village had just gotten up, and there was no time to react, so Ilreddy rushed in with someone. Ilreddy still knew a little about the situation in the village beforehand, until the position of the richest family in the village, so he directly led people to the family. Khaled, the policeman, kicked open the door of the house, and when Ilreddy looked inside, he realized that he had really come to the right place, because there were several horses tethered to the courtyard, and it looked like there was really a caravan staying here.

"Allah is great!" Elreddy shouted, "Arrest all the people inside!" Confiscate all the smuggled goods! ”

His policemen also shouted: "Allah is greater! "Rush in.

Ilhan took the lead and rushed into the courtyard, rushed to the door of the family's house, flew up, kicked the door open, and was about to go in to catch the smuggler, but he only heard a few thuds, and at the same time he felt as if his chest had been hit by a sledgehammer in succession, and there was a dull pain, and his eyes were black, and he immediately knew nothing.

The other Turkish policemen next to them who were happily shouting "Allah is greater" were stunned all of a sudden, after all, they were only small local police, where had they seen bandits who really shot and resisted arrest, so they didn't react at the first time.

However, they didn't react at the first time, and at this time, it meant that they would never be able to react, because a window in the room facing the courtyard was suddenly pushed open, and a black hole muzzle protruded from it, and then a series of gunshots were clicked. Before they could react, several policemen were immediately knocked to the ground. Then, from another window, a string of bullets was also shot "suddenly".

Seeing that the situation was not good, Khalid turned and ran towards the courtyard gate, he was already very close to the courtyard gate, but now he rushed out of the courtyard gate with an arrow step, and then in a flash, he hid behind the courtyard wall.

"Ah, scared the baby to death." Khalid gasped for breath, and was about to get on his horse and flee from the village immediately, but suddenly he felt a sharp pain in his vest, and then the strength of his whole body disappeared at once, he opened his mouth to scream, but he couldn't scream, only blood kept gushing out of his mouth, he tried to stand against the courtyard wall, but he had no strength at all, so he could only slip and fall to the ground along the courtyard wall - a machine gun bullet pierced the thin courtyard wall of the courtyard and hit him right away.

Ilreddy was shot in both legs during the first strafing of the light machine gun, and fell to the ground like a log. Then he watched the dozen or so policemen he brought with him being knocked to the ground one by one, until this time, he didn't understand what the hell was going on, wasn't it just to blackmail, how could this be, as for this? And how could those infidels have such a strong firepower?

By this time, the infidels who had fired had already come out of the room, and they all had machine guns, submachine guns, rifles, and pistols, six or seven in all.

"Are they all dead?" One of them, carrying a light machine gun, asked.

"Saruman, there is one who is not dead, do you want to send him to their Allah?" A guy with a rifle walked up to Ilreddy and pointed the muzzle of the rifle's black hole at Ilreddy's chest and asked.

"Gandalf, don't be busy, ask what's going on." The man named Saruman replied.

This is a gang of people who are engaged in arms smuggling, and with the support of the Free World Foundation, there are many of these smugglers who are now smuggling weapons to the Armenians. At first, when the police rushed in, they thought they were exposed, and they were even worried about whether they were surrounded by the Turkish military and police......

Then, after Ilreddy was under Gandalf's gun, trembling and telling the whole story, they realized that all this was a coincidence, and in fact, Ilreddy had no idea that there would be an arms smuggling team here. If he knew, he wouldn't have rushed in like this.

"It really seems to be a coincidence." Saruman thought so, but heard Gandalf ask again, "Saruman, what is this guy going to do?" ”

"This guy is useless." Without hesitation, Saruman said, "Kill him, and then we'll move right away." He saw Gandalf pulling the bolt, so he frowned and said, "Don't waste bullets." ”

"Okay, no problem." Gandalf replied loudly, deflating the bullet as he quickly pulled it back, then turned his rifle upside down, with the butt facing forward, and raised it high in the air, like a stick, and slammed it down on Ilreddy's head......
