Chapter 1178: Mountains of Gold

"We can't let the Chinese take away that wealth, we have to take it back." Otherwise, we will not have enough money to develop Russia. In the future, we still have no chance to turn over! Zhukovsky said solemnly. In their plans, the wealth of the royal family was very important, related to whether Russia could quickly build a strong industry after the war, and even directly related to Russia's future.

"But the Chinese on the outskirts of St. Petersburg, up to 70,000. And in our hands, there is no longer a single soldier! Duke Gorchakov frowned. After the Prussian Army moved into St. Petersburg, the 200,000 Russian troops here surrendered to the Prussian Army, surrendered their weapons, and were temporarily placed under the temporary custody of the Prussian Army. The whole of St. Petersburg was already under the control of the Prussians.

"We looked to the Prussians to find a way. They are absolutely unwilling to see this wealth fall into the hands of the Chinese. Said the Foreign Minister, Count Niechel Rodie.

"Looking for the Prussians? Will they say yes? After all, the 70,000 Chinese cavalry is not easy to mess with. Besides, even if the Prussians help us regain that wealth, they will certainly take a large part of it! Duke Gorchakov said.

"If the Prussians don't make a move, all that wealth will be taken away from the Chinese. When the time comes, we won't get anything. If the Prussians had cooperated with us, we might have left some of our wealth. In addition, without the help of the Prussians, we would not have been able to rearm those captured soldiers! Duke Zhukovsky also said.

Everyone looked to Tsar Alexander II, waiting for him to make a final decision. As ministers of Russia, they can only analyze the possibilities. As for what kind of building to adopt. This is the matter of Tsar Alexander II.

"Alright! Sue the Prussians, let them help us! That wealth belongs to Russia. The Chinese don't want to take it away! Alexander II said through gritted teeth. He is now very angry and aggrieved in his heart, and the Chinese are like robbers. Not only to destroy their country, but also to rob the royal family of all the wealth that they had worked so hard to accumulate, which he absolutely could not accept.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The ministers all replied. Next, they immediately began to divide and work together. The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Count Neschel Rodie, and the Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Army, Duke Gorchakov, went to the headquarters of the Prussian Army to ask for help from the Prussian Army. And the Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Army, Marshal Wittgenstein, developed a plan to regain wealth. Time is running out for the Russians, and they have to cherish every minute.

Within the command of the Prussian Army, Ralke. Feng. Lieutenant General Sosta was listening to a briefing from a staff officer. The Chinese cavalry was launching a fierce attack on Tsarskoye Village, which greatly surprised the lieutenant general. When the guns just rang out, they thought that the Chinese cavalry was going to tear up the treaty and launch an attack on St. Petersburg? In this case, it will undoubtedly be a severe test for the Prussian Army.

Although, the Prussian army stationed in St. Petersburg amounted to more than 50,000 people. However, it was undoubtedly a difficult problem to deal with the offensive of the 70,000 Chinese army. Fortunately. Those Chinese armies are all cavalry, and cavalry is the least good at attacking cities. As long as there is no longer a field battle with the Chinese cavalry and St. Petersburg, the Prussian Army will have a great chance of winning. No matter how bad it is, it will be able to hold out until the arrival of reinforcements.

"General. Russian Foreign Minister Count Nesherrody and Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Army, Duke Gorchakov, ask to meet! "A staff officer asked Ralke. Feng. Lieutenant General Sosta reported.

"Russians? What are they here for? "Ralke. Feng. Lieutenant General Sosta frowned. For these Russians, as a Prussian nobleman, he looked down on him. It was a shame to let the Prussian Army occupy a large part of their territory without firing a single shot. But. This was undoubtedly advantageous for the Kingdom of Prussia. Therefore. Ralke. Feng. After a moment's hesitation, Lieutenant General Sosta met with Count Nesherrody and Duke Gorchakov.

"Two. What are you here for? "Ralke. Feng. Lieutenant General Sosta didn't say much and asked straight to the point.

"General, we're here for the battle that is taking place in Tsarskoon." Count Niechelro said Count Niechelrodie.

"Oh? Do you know why the Chinese attacked there? "Ralke. Feng. Lieutenant General Sosta asked in surprise. He has been wondering why the Chinese would attack Tsarsko, more than twenty kilometers from St. Petersburg, instead of attacking St. Petersburg directly. After all, it was just a place where the tsar occasionally went to stay, and far from being like St. Petersburg, which had a huge effect.

"Most of the wealth accumulated by the Russian royal family over the generations was stored in the treasury of Tsarskoye Village, and the Chinese did not know where to get this news, so they launched an attack on Tsarskoye Village! Now, we have to stop them! Duke Gorchakov said directly. He didn't have any concealment, these Prussians were not fools, and if they wanted to use the power of the Prussians to attack the Chinese cavalry and regain those wealth, they couldn't hide it at all. Otherwise, it's likely to be self-defeating!

"What? The wealth of the Russian royal family was stored in Tsarskoye Village? How is that possible? "Ralke. Feng. Lieutenant General Sosta's face was stunned at first, and then his face changed to deep jealousy. They arrived in St. Petersburg before the Chinese cavalry, and if they also knew the news, then it was not the Chinese who attacked the royal village, but them.

The Kingdom of Prussia also coveted the wealth of the Russian royal family. Although the Prussian royal family studied history, it could not be compared with the Russian royal family in terms of wealth. In this war, the Kingdom of Prussia has already consumed a lot of national strength. Whether it was King William I or Prime Minister Otto. Feng. Bismarck was trying his best to supplement the strength of the Kingdom of Prussia. If the wealth of the Russian imperial family can be seized, it will undoubtedly be very useful for restoring the strength of the Kingdom of Prussia.

"Yes, General. Now, we need the help of the Kingdom of Prussia, and we can't watch the Chinese take away that wealth! Nesser Rodie's face was full of hatred.

However, Ralke. Feng. Lieutenant General Sosta did not immediately reply. The war between the Chinese Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia in Stupino, south of Moscow, had already attracted the attention of the Kingdom of Prussia. The General Staff even issued an order that the generals at the front should restrain their troops and not be able to conflict with the Chinese Empire. It is not possible to give the Chinese Empire a reason or excuse for going to war.

If, Ralke. Feng. If Lieutenant General Sosta led his army to attack the Chinese cavalry outside St. Petersburg, it would be 100% likely to lead to the outbreak of war between the Chinese Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia. At that time, he would most likely become a sinner in the Kingdom of Prussia. As a high-ranking general of the Prussian Army, even if he did not want to admit it, he knew that if the war started now, the Kingdom of Prussia would have no chance of winning.

"Both, I need to report this news to China!" Ralke. Feng. Lieutenant General Sosta said. He obviously can't make a decision on such a big thing.

"But General, it will take too much time. Our troops in Tsarskoye will not hold out much longer. "Duke Gorchakov was a little anxious.

In this regard, Ralke. Feng. Lieutenant General Sosta said that he could not do anything, although he was a Prussian lieutenant general, but if the war broke out, the responsibility would not be something his small shoulders could bear.

"General, otherwise, you first arm our army, and we will fight the Chinese ourselves!" You wait until the order is given at home, and then you make a choice! Said Count Nieschel Rodie.

Ralke. Feng. Lieutenant General Sosta pondered for a few seconds, then nodded.

"Thank you, General, as long as you recapture those riches, Russia will definitely not forget the Kingdom of Prussia!" Count Niechel Rodie hurriedly said.

Although the Prussian Army was not directly involved in the war, it was already rare to be able to allow the Russian army to rearm and then attack the Chinese Army. After all, the Russian army in the prisoner of war camps, as many as two hundred thousand. Their weapons and equipment are also sealed, and as long as they are distributed, they will be able to fight immediately.

Of course, it will take a lot of time to arm the 200,000 Russian troops. By that time, Tsarskoye had already been captured by the Chinese Army.

Countless Russian* soldiers came out of the prisoner of war camps, regained their arms, and headed for the outskirts of St. Petersburg to prepare for an attack on the Chinese cavalry. They were ordered that the Chinese tried in vain to take away the wealth of the imperial family and completely kill the chance of Russia's re-emergence, and as Russian* soldiers, they should fight to the death for Russia's future.

It's just that it will take time for these Russian troops to rearm and go to the front line. During this time, the 11th Brigade of the Imperial Cavalry had already taken the Tsarskoye Village.

"Boom, boom!"

Dense mortar shells fell into the positions of the Russian troops, and several Russian heavy machine gunners were killed on the spot. The Imperial cavalry took the opportunity to attack the positions of the Russian army and began to clear the Russian army inside.

After paying heavy casualties, the Imperial cavalry finally took the entire Tsarskoye Village. The Tsar's treasury was also found.

When the door to the treasury was opened, everyone was stunned. The inside was full of golden light, especially the gold ingots that were cast and stacked neatly and piled up like a hill, attracting everyone's attention. (To be continued......)
