Chapter 640: Inside the Polar Bear

Just when Huang Xu was planning to trap and nail the polar bear, the polar bear also began to play the idea of his eastern neighbor.

Russia, a huge polar bear, has a vast land area spanning the Eurasian continent, and its people are fierce and its comprehensive strength is strong, and it is really an opponent that should not be underestimated.

However, this bear is also troubled at the moment, its reckless military and troublesome behavior has caused public anger on the European continent, provoked a group of people to attack it, its relations with the West are in an extremely tense atmosphere, and under the joint efforts of Western society, its economy has been greatly affected, domestic prices have soared, people's livelihood has withered, social unrest, dissatisfaction with the government has gradually spread, and even some people have begun to take the lead against the current upper class in Russia, and the previously indestructible tsarist rule has shown signs of shaking, If we do not take strong measures, I am afraid that the eventual earthquake will come soon.

It was against this backdrop that the bear set his sights on this dragon in the east.

They hope to use the power of the dragon to divert the attention of the people in the country and thus overcome this crisis.

However, this polar bear has always focused on the development of Europe, and the development of Asia basically said ignorance, so, these years, the Chinese empire and the surrounding countries of the struggle, it is blind, now, its road in Europe is not working, this is remembered Asia, and only then, it found out that Asia has such a rich neighbor, when it found out this, it is overjoyed, so, he pondered how to get in touch with the Oriental Dragon.

However, it takes a lot of effort to build this relationship, just imagine, if you have always had a cold relationship with others, and now you want to stick it. There has to be a good reason for that.

So, racking their brains, the cute polar bear finally figured it out.

It was prepared to use both hard and soft tactics to force the Chinese Empire to deal with it.

From this alone, it can be seen that this polar bear is indeed not of my species. It's not Sven at all, I want to get the benefits of others, but I have crooked thoughts, either using some indiscriminate means, or using some inappropriate methods, which is really inferior.

Not kind at all.

So, let's take a look at what kind of fart this polar bear is putting on.

On the surface, the Russians came to the door under the guise of easing relations with the countries of the East. It was proposed to develop relations, especially economic relations, with the Chinese Empire.

Secretly, this bear is constantly stirring up trouble on the northeastern border of the Chinese Empire under various pretexts, threatening with force, bluffing that it will send troops to the northeast, and it also knows that the Chinese Empire has just finished the Indian campaign, which is a bit empty, so it takes this opportunity to show off its muscles. It is better to cooperate with its plan to develop economic relations on the surface, and it is not good to say. Just like the time of the Eight-Nation Alliance, he wanted to force China to sign the alliance under the city by force at every turn, thinking about taking both silver and land, which was really beautiful.

However, the bear may have forgotten a question. That is, the current Chinese Empire is not the Qing government, and it is not something that anyone can be bullied if he wants to, and whoever wants to pinch it can be manipulated. Times have changed, and the blind bear has to wipe his own tricks, and they have made a mistake in their wishful thinking.

However, in the face of the almost provocative development of relations by the Russians, Huang Xu did not get angry as before, but just laughed at it, and Huang Xu naturally had his reasons for doing so.

Regarding the provocation of the Russians, Huang Xu knew very well in his heart that it was just a bluff, they did not dare to fight, and the intelligence agencies sent by the intelligence department in Russia had already made it clear about the situation in their country, and the Russians did not have the courage to start a war now.

Still, it's very unpleasant to have a fly stirring around in front of you all day, and you have to teach a lesson, but the reality does not allow the Chinese Empire to resume the war, and it is not yet time to respond forcefully.

Therefore, after Huang Xu discussed with the military aircraft, he decided to play the economic card, anyway, this is also in the hands of the Russians, these people are now short of money, and they will not postpone things that can be made, so Huang Xu pushed the boat down the river and appointed Lu Wen, the helmsman of the dream business empire, as a special envoy, as Huang Xu's plenipotentiary representative to Moscow, intending to have a good talk with the Russians.

And this is exactly what Lu Wen wants, he was thinking about what kind of capacity to go to Moscow to complete the task assigned to him by Huang Xu, but he didn't think that this good thing would come to the door, and someone took the initiative to lead the way.

When good things come, the wall can't stop them, Huang Xu and Lu Wenna are secretly happy in their hearts, and the Russians are like picking up a treasure, and they can't sleep for several nights, even if they fall asleep, they will wake up with a smile in their dreams.

However, who knows that the other party has their own thoughts.

Then, as Huang Xu's special representative, Lu Wen met with Tsar Nicholas II in Russia, and held cordial talks with the Russian Minister of Economy - Belinsko and the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Commerce - Gutavov, and expressed to the two of them the desire to strengthen bilateral relations with Russia and vigorously develop the bilateral economy.

Of course, the Russians were happy to see this happen, and they hurriedly agreed, especially Belinsko and Gutavov, who had been to China before and knew the prosperity of China, and when they said that they wanted to do business with China, they were very happy.

The two sides almost hit it off.

Then, almost at rocket speed, the two sides reached a lot of constructive economic agreements, for example, opening border crossings to each other, trading with each other...

In short, Lu Wen's trip to Moscow made the Russians happy, and also made them think that they had taken a big advantage, but as everyone knows, Huang Xu and Lu Wen hope to see such a situation, and only in this way can the Chinese Empire clearly and justifiably infiltrate the Russian economy and prepare for future wars.

Another major gain of Luvin's trip to Moscow was to clarify some details of the internal contradictions of the Russians, which provided guidance for his further actions.

The contradictions in Russian politics mainly come from the civil and military forces.

Between the civilian clique and the military attache clique, within the military attache clique, and within the civilian clique, there are all open and secret battles, and although Tsar Nicholas II has a transcendent status, he is old and sick, and he is unable to do state affairs, and more importantly, the tsar has no heirs, which brings a great challenge to the imperial power after the death of the old tsar, and the civil and military generals are engaged in fierce battles around this issue.

In short, the problems within the Russians are great.

After obtaining this information, Lu Wen made a detailed report to Huang Xu, and Huang Xu's reaction was exactly the same as Lu Wen's thoughts, pushing the waves within the Russians, provoking internal strife among them, and depleting the strength of the Russians.

To put it more closely, the current main factions within the Russians are divided into the following factions:

Tsar Nicholas II, he was high and neutral, that is, not particularly biased towards the civilian or military clique, but firmly held the supreme power.

The civilian clique is mainly represented by Prime Minister Lebezovsky, Russian Minister of Economy Belinsko, and Minister of Foreign Affairs and Commerce Gutavov, and they have their own line, and among the three of them, the relationship between Belinsko and Gutavov can be called irreversible, and the relationship between the elder Lebezovsky and Tsar Nicholas II is very unusual.

And the military attache group is headed by the three marshals and the three generals.

The three marshals were Dimirov, Schikov, and Vassysky.

The three giants are Biscaiev, Zhukov, and Kosygin.

These six men are in charge of the three major military districts of Russia, the Eastern Military District, the Western Military District, and the Northern Military District.

Dimiliov was the commander of the Eastern Military District, and Biscaiv was the deputy commander and chief of staff of the Eastern Military District.

Schikov and Zhukov belonged to the Western Military District and held positions comparable to those of Dimiliov and Biskaiv.

In the Northern Military District, it was Wasky and Kosygin who held the right to speak.

The three military regions are the three mountains, each leading its own faction to compete with the other two, and when their interests are at stake, they naturally form a whole and fight to the death against the civilian clique and other groups that threaten their interests.

In short, the relationship between these people is too intertwined and a little complicated.

And because Tsar Nicholas II had no heirs, and there was no one in the immediate line of the royal family who could take on the important responsibility, he could only choose one person from the branch royal family to take on the responsibility of the next tsar.

There are currently two candidates who meet the requirements, Gutavov and Zhukov.

Gutavov was the son of Nicholas II's cousin and the Tsar's uncle and nephew.

And Zhu Keshi is the son of the cousin of Nicholas II, and it is rumored that he is the illegitimate son of the Tsar.

If you talk about the intimacy between the two and Nicholas II, the two are half a pound and eight taels, not to mention much, if you really want to separate one higher, it seems that Gutavov is closer.

And these two people are also gangs in private, and they each form a group of cheerleaders to wave their flags and shout for themselves, which is a lot of contention, and all the civil and military generals also stand in their own teams, clearly indicating who they want to support.

For a time, the Russian political arena was in chaos. (To be continued......)
