449 Snatch it back
Before the attack on Moscow, there was no clear distinction between the Foreign Legion and the South Russian armed forces. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Before the capture of Omuel, the Foreign Legion and the South Russian Armed Forces were actually dominated by the Foreign Legion, and the troops of the South Russian Armed Forces were in a state of auxiliary offensive, and the cooperation between the two was quite tacit.
But after the capture of Omuel, the situation changed subtly.
It seems that the defeat of the Russian Bolsheviks was inevitable, and at this time, there was a question of the distribution of benefits after the war.
Nominally, the coalition government was headed by Kolchak, but in fact the Foreign Legion sent troops to Moscow at Kolchak's request.
But the Foreign Legion did not act with Kolchak's troops, but mixed with Denikin's South Russian forces and attacked Moscow from the south.
So when victory was within reach, Denikin's desire inevitably began to swell.
So when the Foreign Legion offered to continue the attack on Moscow, Denikin was not so aggressive, as if they had already gotten what they wanted, and began to become desireless.
In fact, the Foreign Legion really got what it wanted, and even if the Russian Bolsheviks and the coalition government sat down to negotiate peace now, the Foreign Legion would not raise any objections.
At this time, Liu Zizheng and Greif received a telegram from the headquarters of the Foreign Legion.
"Look, this is just from headquarters." In the temporary headquarters, Liu Zizheng handed the telegram to Grace.
The headquarters of the Foreign Legion is currently in the city of Trident Corsica, and of course, this Foreign Legion refers to the Foreign Legion in Lanfang.
The French Foreign Legion has also been rebuilt, with its headquarters still in Algeria.
The header of the telegram indicated a "top secret" rating, which is the level of "burn after reading", and the content of the telegram was multi-encrypted, but the content was simple: stop attacking, camera act.
"What does that mean?" Griff was a little puzzled, and asked with a shaking telegram.
Cliff's political acumen is not too high, and it is far from military sniffing.
"What else does it mean, the spoils are unevenly distributed." Liu Zizheng pursed his lips disdainfully, took it and lit it with a match, and then lit a cigar.
Liu Zizheng is now out of the level of cigarette smoking and has a soft spot for cigars.
It's a pity that Liu Zizheng is smoking a cigar in the wrong way, it is still the same as smoking a cigarette, which makes Griff see that it doesn't matter, if it falls into the eyes of connoisseurs, he will definitely laugh and be generous.
"Do you think, if we Lan Fang stayed in France or England, would we be willing to see a United Russia next to us? In our words, this is called, the side of the couch does not allow others to snore. In the words of the foreigners, a united Russia is equivalent to the sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of Britain and France, I don't know when it will fall, can the British and the French be willing? "Liu Zizheng's political vision is stronger than that of Cliff.
Since a long time ago, the shadow of Russia has hung over the whole of Europe, and Britain, France, Germany and other countries have always been worried, and they don't know when a large herd of Russian "gray cattle" will shout "Ula" to bulldoze the whole of Europe.
Needless to say, the Germans are powerless, but Britain and France, unlike England and France, have taken great pains to remove this potential danger.
From the departure of the Foreign Legion to the present, if you look at everything together, then this is a conspiracy, a conspiracy against Russia.
First, armed intervention, depletion of the Russians' strength, and then a certain amount of progress is won and the offensive is stopped, and the parties sit down to negotiate peace under the mediation of Britain and France, then Russia may be divided into three or four, and Russia will not be threatened at that time.
"That means we don't have anything to do next." Griff didn't want to fight for a long time, and there was nothing to say about this kind of whimney play.
"It can't be said that there is nothing wrong with us, maybe we need to finish it in the end, Denikin, this old boy, don't look at it now, if we withdraw, Denikin will be dumbfounded immediately, so the headquarters means to let us hold the line of the Oka River, which is also the final bottom line." Liu Zizheng is also calculating.
"Okay, then tomorrow, let the old man withdraw to them." Griff prepares to shrink the line.
"Don't worry, Lao Xiang is Tula in front of them, now let Lao Xiang withdraw, Lao Xiang may scold us, but they will stay in Tula for a few days." Liu Zizheng has bad intentions.
Tula is also a big city, and it will be the capital of Tula Oblast in the future, and Xiang Ankang's fourth division is now on the edge of Tula, so you can imagine how deep Xiang Ankang's resentment will be if Xiang Ankang is withdrawn now.
"You be careful, you should do less things that violate military discipline, and you are not afraid that the troops will not be able to bring them in the future." Griff kindly reminded.
Human beings are very peculiar creatures, and it is difficult to go from evil to good, and from good to evil is only a thought.
The army is also a special group, this group is inherently closely linked to violence, and if the indulgence of military discipline is not restricted, then once the members of the army are accustomed to indulging themselves, they will not be able to change it in the future.
Although the Foreign Legion is mainly French and German, after all, the backbone is still Chinese, and they are professional soldiers who have experienced European tempering, Griff can not care about the life or death of the French and Germans, but for these Chinese, Griff must be responsible.
"Cut, what's the matter with us? Let me tell you, almost all of the current illegal incidents are committed by the South Russian armed forces, and they have little to do with our Foreign Legion, and even if they do, they are done by the French and Germans, and have nothing to do with us Chinese. Liu Zizheng flatly denied it.
To some extent, Liu Zizheng is telling the truth.
Most of the Chinese in the Foreign Legion are company platoon commanders, sergeant majors and other grass-roots commanders, and these people don't have to do anything themselves, so naturally there are clever soldiers who take the initiative to share the worries of their commanders.
As a result, in the current Omuel, the reputation of the South Russian armed forces is the worst, followed by the Germans, followed by the French, and the reputation of the Chinese is the best.
"You don't feel blushing either...... "Grace doesn't look down on Liu Zizheng's sanctimonious appearance.
"Cut, if you knew what I got you, you wouldn't have made me blush...... Come on, come on, let you see and see. After Liu Zizheng finished speaking, he dragged this Griff to his bedroom.
One wall in the bedroom was full of boxes, from the floor to the ceiling.
Liu Zizheng dragged one out at random, put it in the middle of the bedroom and opened it: "Look at what this is?" ā
Inside the box was a pile of scrolls, which seemed to be antiquities from the East, yellowed and antique, and looked a little old.
"Be careful, if you're not careful, you will break it, these old hairy people, they don't know how to keep it carefully...... "Liu Zizheng kept chattering, picked up one casually, and carefully unfolded it on the bed.
This is a figure painting, the character in the painting Griff does not know, but his image is bearded and cloudy, several feet flying, hair roots out of the flesh, more than enough strength, it is really on the paper.
"Do you know who drew this?" Liu Zizheng proudly showed off to Greef, and without waiting for Greef to answer, he solved the mystery: "This is the true work of the Tang Dynasty master Wu Daozi, this person is amazing, known as the 'painting saint' in our place, now the real work is not to say that it is the Republic of China, that is, we have few Lanfang Museum, you don't need to think about it to know how this painting ran into the hands of Lao Maozi, Lao Maozi was able to rob us at the beginning, we can snatch it back now." ā
Griff looked at the inscription in the lower left corner of the painting, and nodded his head again and again, although he did not speak.
Wu Daozi's authentic handwriting, if it is true, it should indeed be snatched back.
Hi...... Regardless of whether it is Wu Daozi's genuine handiwork, it should be snatched back!
"When I go back, I will donate these paintings to our Lanfang Museum, so that our old and young masters will know that my Liu Zizheng's trip to Russia was not in vain!" Liu Zizheng was proud.
Grave suddenly felt a little like he was on pins and needles.
If Liu Zizheng returned to Lanfang and donated calligraphy, paintings and cultural relics in large boxes and small boxes, but Grace did not say anything, then people would not think that it was because Grace abided by military discipline and did not commit any crimes, but thought that Grace had hidden the things he had robbed......
It's hidden......
Grave suddenly felt that something had to be done.
"Don't worry, you're in such a hurry to go back, I'll tell you what to do, you go to the officials of Omuel, and ask them to take your people to raid the house, copy those who have served in the army and served as officials in the Imperial Russian period before, and they will generally get something." Liu Zi was busy making moves.
"Go and go, Lao Tzu can still teach you to grab things?" Griff was dissatisfied, and pushed the door away without looking back.
Liu Zizheng laughed, Greif, an honest man, was taken by Liu Zizheng.
So in the next few days, many families in the city of Omuel were attacked, especially those who had joined the army and went to the Qing Empire more than ten years ago, and their homes were raided more than once.
Many businessmen and officials have also suffered from the seedlings, and they all have a certain amount of economic strength and a lot of good things at home.
So when the Foreign Legion left Omuel, Grace's box filled a truck, which was not much inferior to Liu Zizheng's.
The reason for leaving was that there was really nothing to be looted in Omuel, and by this time Tula was already under the control of the Ankang Division.
"Tula doesn't estimate that there are many good things, the real good things are in Moscow, so don't care what the order of the headquarters is, and don't care what the old guy Clemenceau says, as long as there is a chance, we have to go to Moscow for a turn, I heard that there are many museums there, as well as the palace of the former tsar, there are more treasures in it, almost all of them are snatched from our 'Lafayette', and now it is natural for us to grab it back, and it doesn't matter if we say it......" In the car, Liu Zizheng was still brainwashing with Griff.
Grave turned a deaf ear and was looking at the list in his hand.
Well, the list is long enough for Griff to see Tula from Omuel, and then to Moscow.
