Chapter 482: Layout of Tsarist Russia (2)
Seeing that Vladimi's face was constantly changing, Yang Yude did not urge, smoking a cigarette and looking at Flakimi's face, speculating on his inner thoughts.
Yang Yude knows that the activities of Vladimi's organization abroad are very restricted, they dare not make public performances, and if they make public speeches, they will inevitably be listed as persona non grata, which is still the most civilized, and some radical European countries even arrest them and put them in prison, so Vladimi's people can only operate in secret, but they do not dare to develop personnel abroad casually, and because there is no source of income, they are often extremely poor in life, and it is a common thing to go hungry. They urgently needed a large amount of money for their activities, and if the time was ripe to return home to organize uprisings and insurrections, they would need a large amount of weapons and ammunition, and at the same time they needed their own armed forces, and he was not afraid that Vlakimi would not agree.
After a long time, Vladimi's face was still extremely ugly, and he said coldly: "Yang, your appetite is too great, Siberia plus the Far East occupies almost half of the entire area of Russia!" ”
In fact, Siberia includes the Far East, and in Turkic it means "land of tranquility". From the Ural Mountains in the west, to the Pacific Ocean in the east, to the Arctic Ocean in the north, to the mountains of north-central Kazakhstan in the southwest, and to China, Mongolia and North Korea in the south, with an area of 12.76 million square kilometers, all in the territory of Tsarist Russia, it occupies half of the area of the whole Tsarist Russia.
Yang Yude took a puff of cigarette and said: "Vladimi, you have to know that it is not our appetite that is big, Siberia is originally our country's land, and now our country is coming back, what's wrong with my country's return?" ”
"Hmph," Vladimi snorted. He said angrily: "But as far as I know, the Treaty of Nebuchu signed between Tsarist Russia and the Qing State clearly stipulates that the boundary between your country and Tsarist Russia does not include all of Siberia. Instead, it is bounded by the Erguna River and the Gelbiqi River, and then along the Outer Khingan Mountains to the east to the sea. Hedong Lingnan returned to the Qing Dynasty. Hexi Ridge north to Tsarist Russia! ”
Yang Yude nodded and said: "The treaty signed between Tsarist Russia and the Qing court is indeed stipulated in this way, but this is an unequal treaty, and our government does not recognize the legitimacy of this treaty, and our government has made it clear as a year ago that it wants to abolish an unequal treaty signed with various countries, and of course such an unequal treaty is also being abolished!" ”
"Also, Vladimi, I want to say that even if your organization does not promise to return Siberia to our country, my government will take it back from the hands of the Tsarist government. Our country's determination to recover Siberia will not be shaken, and now our government has been negotiating with the Tsarist authorities on the final ownership of Siberia, and now Tsarist Russia has been beaten badly by the German army on the Western Front, and the Russian army will not be able to withstand it for long, Tsarist Russia urgently needs to obtain a large amount of food and materials, weapons and ammunition from our country, and our country is also the only channel for Tsarist Russia to obtain support from the outside world, and Siberia itself is our land, plus this land is a barren land, and there is no output. Our government is confident that the Tsarist authorities, for the sake of the security of the land in the European part, will definitely agree to our conditions in exchange for a large amount of material aid from our country, which will be used to relieve the pressure on the country! ”
Vladimi's face turned blue and white for a while. He calmed down and said: "Yang, you can't do this, Tsarist Russia is an imperialist country. It is full of aggressiveness, if you cooperate with Tsarist Russia. It is tantamount to conspiring with a tiger, and the Tsarist regime has no contribution to the people. It will only squeeze oil and water out of the people, and I believe that sooner or later the people will overthrow Tsarist Russia, and our organization is the organization of the people, the force that represents the people, and if you want to take back Siberia you must have the consent of our organization".
Vladimi's words are right, but this year alone, there have been many uprisings in Tsarist Russia, and in May, there was a strike by the workers of Ivanovo-Voznesensk, demanding lower prices and higher wages. Then the Kostroma workers went on strike. The discontent of the vast number of peasants is also growing. Movements against donations and against the requisition of grain and horses spread all over the country. The soldiers were also affected by the revolution. This year, Tsarist Russia also broke out in the Baltic "Hangut" capital ship sailors uprising, all kinds of signs show that the foundation of the Tsarist regime's domination of the country has begun to crumble, if it were not for the presence of foreign enemies, the army has been transferred to the front, and the revolutionaries could not encourage the army to rebel, it is estimated that Tsarist Russia would have been overthrown long ago.
After Yang Yude listened to Fladimi's words, he heard the mystery, Fladimi didn't say anything to death, indicating that this matter can still be discussed, it depends on what kind of support Fladimi's organization needs, and it is estimated that Fladimi's conditions are definitely not a small amount.
He asked: "Vladimi, the two of us are no longer playing dumb riddles, you can offer to wait for you, what kind of support do you need to agree to let us take back Siberia?" ”
Seeing that the cigarette was burned, Vladimi picked up the cigarette box in front of Yang Yude and took out another one from it and lit it, and said after a few puffs: "Yang, don't bully me, I don't know, the territory of your Yuan Dynasty did not include all Siberia, we can only agree to return East Siberia east of the Yenisei River, and the area west of the Yenisei River and east of the Ural Mountains West Siberia is the land of our country, and the territory of the Yuan Dynasty in the history of your country does not include this area!" ”
Yang Yude's mind was running at high speed, he looked at Vladimi and said: "If you really want to say it, almost all the land in your country belongs to our country, during the Mongol Empire, its territory has included the entire territory of Tsarist Russia, and now my country does not ask you to return all of them, only to Siberia!" Vladimi, tell me, how much money you need, and what other conditions, I believe that everything has a price".
Vladimi thought for a moment and stretched out three fingers: "First, 300 million yuan of financial support; Secondly, as far as I know, the Siberian region is now under the defense of your army, and I hope that your country can carve out a territory in Siberia for our organization to train its troops. Thirdly, your country has sent enough officers to help our country train a million troops, and you have to pay for the weapons, ammunition and all the logistical supplies of these armies! ”
Yang Yude was almost angry when he heard these three conditions, he shook his head and said: "Vladimi, please forgive me for being blunt, although it is said that negotiations can be bargained, but you are too insincere, I believe that no country is willing to do this wrong, your first condition, the asking price is too high, the second condition is no problem, we can set aside a piece of land for you to train the army, and we can also send officers to help you." Article 3 is basically impossible, our country can not be obliged to help you raise the army, you are in a hurry to ask us to help you raise the army, do you think this is possible? In this case, it seems that we can't talk about it today, you can convene the top level of your organization for a detailed consultation and discuss practical conditions, and I will also report to the country, and we will meet again in a week, what do you think? ”
Vladimi thought about it and decided that he was indeed a lion with a big mouth, no one would agree to such a condition, unless the other party was really a fool, he saw Yang Yude say this and knew that there was no way to talk today, he could only wait for the next time, he was extremely looking forward to getting external support, so he agreed: "Okay, I agree, we will talk in a week!" ”

Huaguo Jingcheng, Presidential Palace.
Wang Yaqiao stood in front of Xiao Zhenlei with a briefcase and reported: "President, there is news of contact with the Tsarist Russian Revolutionary Party organization from the distribution in Europe!" ”
Xiao Zhenlei sat up straight from the back of his chair and asked, "Oh? What is the situation? ”
Wang Yaqiao said: "Yang Yude, the deputy minister of European distribution, personally held talks with Vladimi, the head of the Tsarist Revolutionary Party, and they were old friends before, so there was no obstacle to this meeting, and their talks also entered the substantive level, Vladimi said his personal conditions, first, they need 300 million yuan of financial support; Secondly, he hoped that our country could carve out a territory in Siberia for their organization and training of the army. Thirdly, he needs our country to send enough officers to help him organize and train a million troops, and to bear the burden of weapons, ammunition and all logistical supplies for these troops. And he offered to return only the Siberian regions east of the Yenisei River! ”
"Heh-" Xiao Zhenlei laughed after hearing this, smoked a cigarette and said: "Actually, there is no need for us to negotiate with those revolutionaries in Tsarist Russia, the reason why we do this is because we don't want to give other countries an excuse to interfere in territorial affairs in the future, and my original intention is not necessarily to obtain the West Siberian Plain west of the Yenisei River and east of the Ural Mountains, in my plan, this area will be assigned to Tsarist Russia, in my opinion, Tsarist Russia is overthrown is a sure thing, When the time comes, we can let the Tsarist regime retreat to the vast plains east of the Ural Mountains and west of the Yenisei River, using the Ural Mountains as a natural defensive barrier to prevent the regime established by the Russian revolutionaries from continuing to penetrate eastward. ”
Wang Yaqiao hesitated for a moment and asked, "Then do we want to continue talking to them?" ”
After thinking about it, Xiao Zhenlei instructed: "Continue to talk, see what conditions they can come up with, if they can get them, there will be no disputes on the territorial issue in the future, even if they regret it in the future, we can take the treaty to fight with them, so we can also get the support of Western countries, Western countries will definitely not want the country established by this organization to be too strong, after all, the values are completely different, the ideology is also different, and the Western countries will definitely support us!" ”
"And what about the bottom line of our negotiation terms?"
"The financial support for them is up to 20 million Chinese dollars, which can help them train a division of the army, and we can make appropriate concessions on the land, but at most it can only be bounded by the lower reaches of the Ob River and the Irtysh River, and all Siberia in the east belongs to our country, and the west belongs to Russia!"
"Got it!" (To be continued......)
