504 Chaos (B)

Renan was quick to propose his preferred candidate, the Swedish general Capper. Born in Petrograd, he graduated from the St. Petersburg Military Preparatory School, went on to study at the Cavalry Academy, and served in the 247th Infantry Regiment of the First Army in World War I.

On a personal basis, Capperle belonged to a particularly traditional Russian military officer, loyal to the royal family and full of hatred for the Bolsheviks and the revolution. So after Kolchak's coup came to power, he quickly took refuge in the supreme consul and became an important confidant of Kolchak.

Historically, Cappere was a relatively loyal man, and when Kolchak's "rule" was overthrown by a coup, Capperl tried to come to the rescue, but unfortunately he was one step too late. By the time he arrived in Irkutsk, Kolchak had already been betrayed and shot. For this reason, Cappell unfortunately fell into an ice cave, and was finally forced to amputate his leg, and even died before Kolchak because of the deterioration of the wound.

And what is more funny now is that Genan, who insisted on giving up and betraying Kolchak in history, actually nominated Capper to replace Kolchak. This makes one wonder what the French have in his head, and why does he think Cappell is a suitable agent?

In fact, Genan also knew that Capper was not suitable, that guy was a bit brainless, and he was dedicated to the Romanov dynasty and Kolchak, if he came to power, neither the Entente nor the Socialist-Revolutionaries and the Mensheviks would have good fruit to eat.

If it weren't for the fact that there was no way, Genan would never have nominated Capper. The problem was that there was no more suitable candidate for Genan, or the French government. He had approached Semenov before, and the bastard though did not directly refuse his suggestion. But the table is lukewarm. At first glance, it is ready to sit on the ground and start the price. And it comes to mind that Semyonov has always been pro-Japanese. The French really didn't show much interest in him.

But apart from Semenov, there are really few more suitable candidates among the generals of the White Army today, either nobodies or dead-headed people like Capper.

In desperation, Renan could only choose Capper. And there are still certain advantages to choosing Capppel: first, because Capppel's political stance is pro-Kolchak, then Semyonov, who has been making trouble with Kolchak before, and the Japanese forces represented by that product are naturally Kappel's sworn enemies. This determined that Cappell would not be in the same league as the Japanese.

Secondly, the Socialist-Revolutionaries and Mensheviks, who were in favour of overthrowing Kolchak, must have been a thorn in Kappel's side and flesh, and Cappele would not give a good face to those mouths.

Finally, the French government argues that although the French government did not support Kolchak in the case of Kolchak's downfall, it did not firmly oppose Kolchak (on the surface), and although it secretly used some shady tricks, the British, Americans, and Japanese were not much better than them. If we can throw an olive branch in advance, maybe we can turn hostility into friendship.

All in all. For the French, Cappele is not the most ideal candidate. But it's also not the worst candidate. If he comes to power, even if he is not pro-French, he will be able to remain neutral, anyway, it will be more advantageous than Semenov's coming to power.

Of course, Renan's construction was met with strong resistance from the Japanese as soon as it was proposed. The Japanese did not like Kolchak very much, that guy was a Great Russianist and would definitely not allow Japanese power to enter the Far East and Siberia on a large scale. Needless to say, Capper, who has a similar concept to Kolchak's political concept, will definitely not make too many concessions to Japan.

Judging from this point alone, the Japanese will not allow Capper to come to power, and it is easy to get a Kolchak, and he is about to raise his knife and fork to taste what it is like to have a fat polar bear, how can the Japanese let Capper come up with bad things?

"Capper's qualifications are not enough, he has no experience in commanding large armies in battle, and his personal prestige is not enough to convince the public!"

Kuroto Kizo made a speech in very pure Japanese English, and when he said this, he was quite full of momentum, and it was a bit of a one-size-fits-all and categorical meaning. It is conceivable that this is the time for Japan to make their voices heard, as the old imperialists such as Britain and France, lost a lot of blood in the First World War, and they made a fortune from the war.

What's more, the mainland policy is Japan's basic national policy, and the islanders, who have an unusual attachment to the land, have sharpened their heads and squeezed the mainland, and will not take advantage of the God-given opportunity of the fall of the Russian polar bear to enclose the land. As for the Gallic chickens, what is there to fear, it is just a broken house.

Kuroto Kizo not only strongly opposed the candidate proposed by Genan, but also said with a big grin: "The Imperial Japanese Government believes that only General Semyonov is suitable to stand up and clean up the mess at present, and Russia must have a strong and resolute person like him to preside over the situation, and he is the most suitable candidate!" ”

When he said this, Kuroto was very proud, as if he was not nominating a candidate, but announcing the rise of Japan. In his imagination, whether it is the French, the British, or even the Americans, they must carefully weigh the strength of their words, and they must attach great importance to them!

Soon, however, a humiliation and annoyance to Kuroto was discovered, and his rhetoric was completely ignored, except for the French, who threw a contemptuous look at him, and the British and Americans simply ignored his statement.

The two of them said in harmony: "Capper is not suitable, is it?" He had always been loyal to Kolchak, and if he were to be made commander-in-chief, he feared that it would provoke a new round of chaos within the Russian Provisional Government. Is this nomination not considered? ”

Savinkov also interjected: "The Provisional Cabinet and the Constituent Council refused to trust Kolchak's henchmen, who proved to be nothing more than an ambitious dictator, and he and his ambitious subordinates did nothing good to Russia except to destroy the democratic system!" ”

Renan didn't care about Kurotan Guizo, and retorted: "This is wrong, Kolchak is Kolchak. Capper is Capper. There is no evidence whatsoever that Cappell was also a dictator. On the contrary, he was highly regarded and gained the widest faith! ”

"That's just wishful thinking!" Savinkov strongly objected, "The refusal of the Provisional Cabinet and the Constitutional Council to trust Kolchak and his henchmen will not change!" ”

Renan was a little annoyed, he thought that Savinkov was not qualified to stand here and talk at all, what kind of onion was that shitty provisional cabinet and that incompetent Constitutional Council in Russia, and a group of clowns who jumped off the beam dared to talk about political issues without shame, which was really ridiculous!

"I think you guys have to make a change!" Renan sneered. sarcastically: "Otherwise, I doubt how long you can save zài!" ”

This is the threat of Chiguoguo, how can polar bears have suffered such insults, but they are also former big hooligans, and they are always the only ones who threaten others. And today, they were insulted to their faces, and Savinkov's lungs were about to explode. Of course, the main reason is not that they were insulted, but that they were once hardcore allies of those who insulted them.

The Franco-Russian alliance for quite a long time acted as a lever to balance world power, they kept the British from being too arrogant, and later the Germans in a dilemma. To put it mildly, if there had not been Russia to contain the Germans in the east. The French will be slaves every minute.

But now it's good that this traditional hardcore ally has torn off the last fig leaf of Russia in front of him. This is not just an insult, but also a betrayal of Chi Guoguo!

At that moment, Savinkov's eyes were red, and after three seconds, he chose to walk away: "In that case, there is no need for me to continue to stay here, and even I think that the basis of cooperation between us no longer exists!" ”

In fact, Genan also knew that he was wrong, even if the Russians were indeed broken, but no matter what, the fig leaf of democracy and civilization was still wanted, even if he really looked down on the Russians, he couldn't say it to his face!

The problem is that Renan is not a diplomat or even a politician, he is just a mediocre and self-righteous French officer, and it is in his nature to be proud and unthinkable, even if he knows that he has said the wrong thing, he cannot bow his head, let alone regret it.

So when Savinkov was furious and ready to leave, he didn't make any moves, and stood there like a rooster with his head held high and his tail cocked in pose. And this undoubtedly made Savinkov even more annoyed, just now he did feel very humiliated and angry, but Savenkov is a politician after all, a shameless person who lives by shameless people and betraying his temperament. At most, half of his last statement was true, no, at most a third, and more of it was just a strategy of retreating.

Savinkov was full of thought that if he was about to leave, the French would have to save and explain a thing or two, and at that time he happened to stay with the boat. But now it's a good thing, I met a two-pole, and this idiot stood there like a wooden stake, not only did he not have any intention of saving or explaining, but seemed to say: "If you want to get out, get out of here, and the master won't send you!" ”

One can imagine how angry Savinkov was at this time, how angry he was, he really wanted to grit his teeth, stomp his feet and walk away. The problem was that he knew he could not go, and the Mensheviks and the Socialist-Revolutionaries overthrew Kolchak and regained power. But no matter who you are, you can see that they have too much water this time.

If it weren't for the fact that Kolchak no longer had any use value for the Entente, if it weren't for the fact that the White Army below was separated from Germany, relying only on mouth cannons like Savinkov, he would not be Kolchak's opponent at all. In a sense, the Social Revolutionaries and the Mensheviks met at the right time, acting as spokesmen for the anti-Kolchak forces.

Fundamentally, the Mensheviks and Socialist-Revolutionaries were small in power and had a low sense of existence, and without the support of other forces, they would fall in minutes. People have to bow their heads under the eaves, and Savinkov is now in a dilemma, if you don't go, you will be embarrassed, and if you go, I am afraid it will mean downfall. At that time, he really wanted to kill this bastard Renan, but this bastard ruined his plan!

Fortunately, this room was not full of Gennan-like political idiots and fools, and the British and Americans quickly enthusiastically retained Savinkov, although everyone could see that these two were just posturing, but they wanted to indirectly disgust the French, and they were probably the same as the French in their hearts, they all looked down on Savinkov and the Russian polar bear.

Of course, this is the purest form of politics, not about feelings, but about interests. If the benefits are sufficient. Renan might change his face in no time. Kneel in front of Savinkov and lick his feet. It's a pity. Savinkov doesn't have the ability to do this, he's just a lame politician, and if he doesn't kneel and lick Gennan's feet, it's considered a discipline.

After this episode, the atmosphere in the room became more and more strange and awkward. Although Savinkov sat down again, his face had become the background color of the pot, obviously facing Genan, but he turned his face away, looking like he had seen a stool. As for Genan. The proud Frenchman, still with his head held high, seemed ready to count the stars through the ceiling.

The British and Americans are very relaxed, singing and saying nonsense that makes no sense at all, as if they were mainstream cross talk actors. Oh, by the way, there's also a Japanese in the house, poor Kuroto Kizo has been forgotten for a while. At this time, his face was even more ugly than Savinkov's.

The reason is obvious: the Japanese, who thought they were shining on the international political stage, were left out as soon as they came to power, and the old hooligans only cared about their own verbal wars. Completely forgotten about him. And this forgetting is not deliberate, but a knee-jerk action.

At that moment, Kuroto Kizo's fragile little heart collapsed. Although there was not much anger on his face, there was already a volcano in his heart.

"Western ghost animals, you wait, look at it, Lao Tzu must take revenge, and I must let you know the power of the Great Japanese Empire!"

Unfortunately, no one could hear his shouts, and it was not until the end of the meeting that the British, the former ally of the devil, remembered that they had a little friend who had been left out in the cold for a long time.

"Do you have any thoughts on Mr. Kuroto's suggestion? Although I personally think that this mention is a bit reckless, and it is true that Semenov is not suitable to be commander-in-chief, we should have a full exchange of views and not ignore any of the possibilities......"

This is simply a mending, anyway, Kuroto Kizo felt that he might be more comfortable being ignored, and the British's statement not only denied his nomination, but even ridiculed them. Fortunately, Kuroteng Guizo is not Savinkov, and he didn't go crazy on the spot, it's not that he is well-cultivated, but that devils are born to endure and can pretend to be grandsons, and when facing power, they will be unusually calm.

Naturally, the meeting ended without a hitch, and even greatly exacerbated the contradictions within the Entente bloc, for example, Kuroto Kizo soon reported to China: "The allies of Britain, France, and the United States do not recognize our important contribution to the Great War, and still habitually ignore the interests of the Great Japanese Empire in international affairs, and this tendency cannot be corrected in a short time...... The Empire of Japan should use its own sword to fight for its own honor, and we must be stronger and more vocal on the international stage...... I think dealing with Russia is a good place to start......"

Soon Kuroto Kizo received an affirmative reply, saying that it was not the first time that the Japanese felt that they had been bullied in international affairs, and that the intervention of the three countries after the victory in the First Sino-Japanese War was a lesson from the past.

Of course, at this time and again, the Japanese could not resist the pressure of Russia, Germany and France, and were forced to vomit fat, and this time they were not ready to continue to retreat.

"Kuroto-kun, the Kwantung Army is ready to take you in full force. You should do your best to reach an agreement with General Semenov and do your best to safeguard the interests of the Japanese Empire in the Far East and Siberia! ”

Kurotin Guizo breathed a sigh of relief, he was really worried that he would not be able to withstand the pressure in the country before, and he would be a grass chicken. And now, with the full support of China, he believes that he can do a big job.

"Inform General Semyonov and tell him that he can start the operation!"

At the same time, Genan's representative also approached Capper, and it seemed that the French were ready to place all their bets on Capper's side, and Capper's expression also pleased the French, and Cappeel seemed to be very happy to cooperate.

"I will do my best to lead my troops closer to Irkutsk and will do my best to maintain the traditional friendship between the two countries!"

Renan was delighted by this, and in his opinion that with the addition of Capper's army, he would be greatly strengthened and would have an advantage in the upcoming battle for gold. However, Genan did not expect that before his representatives met Capper, someone had already taken the lead.

"Your Excellency, as a Russian soldier, you should first and foremost defend the interests of Russia! And now the interests of Russia have reached the point where they are in jeopardy! The British, the French, the Americans, and the Japanese, under the guise of aiding us, are actually interfering in our internal affairs. The Mensheviks and the Socialist-Revolutionaries, on the other hand, still knew only empty talk, only traitorous relations. If this continues, we will have no hope! Your Excellency, you must stand up, and you must fight back before this group of wolves takes away the last wealth left to us! The last hope and spark must be preserved for Russia!! ”

At the time, Cappele was concerned, but he didn't know what he could do.

"You can do a lot!" The man took a step forward abruptly, and said excitedly: "My master already has a comprehensive plan, as long as you join, we can keep the hope left by His Majesty to make a comeback, and even make those wolf ambitious guys suffer a big loss!" ”

Cappele took a deep breath and asked, "What does your master want me to do?" ”

"It's simple, first agree to the request of the French, and then ...... it" (to be continued......
