"Your Excellency, Distinguished Chairman, on behalf of the Russian Empire, I would like to thank you for your assistance to the millions of peace- and freedom-loving Russian people. Our homeland has been occupied by the Bolsheviks, who are frantically enslaving our compatriots, and we can only wander around" Kolchak politely expressed his gratitude to Wang Zhenyu in Chinese.

Wang Zhenyu said indifferently: "Russia is a civilized nation, and I can't bear to see the cultural extinction of such a nation because of violent revolution, so I am willing to take the risk of offending the Bolshevik extremist regime to contain you." As for the Russian Empire, I have to remind His Excellency that His Majesty the Tsar's entire family was murdered with the most brutality by the Bolsheviks, so I can no longer admit the existence of such an empire, and that you and your army can only exist in the name of the Provisional Government of Russia. ”

Kolchak nodded with a painful face: "Yes, these thugs are simply inhumane, even His Majesty the Tsar has no adult children, if His Majesty the Tsar had not been so merciful to them, maybe the tragedy would not have happened." ”

Wang Zhenyu was not the slightest interested in the tragedy of the Tsar, he only replied perfunctorily: "This is the realistic version of your country's fable of the farmer and the snake, and I can only express my deep sorrow for the misfortune of His Majesty's Tsar's family!" ”

"Thank you!" Kolchak hesitated for a moment and suddenly said: "On the way here, I have discussed with my subordinates, and we plan to transfer the ownership of the five hundred tons of gold in our hands and the one hundred tons of gold in the hands of the French and Japanese to your government as a token of gratitude to your government for supporting our government!" ”

Wang Zhenyu smiled and waved his hand and said: "A gentleman does not win people's love, and those who exist in France and Japan will exist there for the time being." As for the 500 tons of gold in your hand, the current market value is 500 million US dollars, which can be invested in China's industrial construction, and a certain percentage of interest will be paid to the provisional government under your leadership every year. I am really concerned about the next life of my millions of Russian friends, and as far as I know, the armies of your government have been defeated one after another under the blows of the Bolshevik Red Army, and I am afraid that there is no hope of fighting back in the short term, so the days of this sojourn will be long......"

Kolchak immediately understood: "We are guests of this matter, the host can arrange it however he wants, we don't have any opinions, we just want to keep the basic army and prepare for a future counterattack." ”

Wang Zhenyu nodded, did not speak again, but motioned to Chen Bui to hand a document that had been prepared a long time ago to Kolchak.

Kolchak took the document that decided the fate of millions of Russians with a little nervousness, opened it and looked at it carefully.

The documentary material is broadly divided into three parts, the first of which deals primarily with the issues of the Russian Provisional Government.

First of all, in order to ensure security, the headquarters of the Russian Provisional Government was finally placed in Shanghai, but not in the Russian Concession, but in China, because the Russian Concession in the traditional sense ceased to exist since Kolchak entered China. It is particularly noteworthy that there are no Russians living within 500 meters of the seat of the provisional government, and Wang Zhenyu is very clear about the strength of the KGB in later generations, and it is said that Zhang Zuolin was killed by them, and the Japanese are likely to be just a role in the black cauldron. It's far away, so it is actually safer to put the Provisional Government in the Chinese realm, at least the KGB will have to go through a lot of trouble if it wants to get close to here.

The second is the reorganization of the Russian army, the army of 400,000 Kolchak will undergo a large-scale reorganization, in which soldiers under the age of 30 and officers under the age of 40 will be left behind to form a Russian army with a size of no more than 100,000 after screening, and these troops will be left in the Xinjiang region for reorganization and training. The other 300,000 people can end their military status according to their wishes, and those who want to retain their military status will form an agricultural reclamation corps and settle down in Xinjiang to engage in construction.

The second part is about the resettlement of immigrants, in addition to the 400,000 troops, there are almost 800,000 immigrants, of whom about 200,000 technicians will be hired by various industrial and mining enterprises in China, and there is not much problem with the whereabouts of them and their families about 600,000. And the real problem is the aristocracy, capitalists, priests, etc., these people are only suitable for living in big cities, and the size of 200,000 people, it is estimated that there is really no place to live except in Shanghai......

The third part was the question of foreign affairs, according to Wang Zhenyu's idea, the Provisional Government must recognize the abrogation of all treaties between China and Russia on territory after 1860, and restore the Sino-Russian border line to the boundary line stipulated in the Treaty of Nebuchu. In fact, according to Wang Zhenyu's meaning, it is best to restore the Ural Mountains region, but this is obviously unrealistic. If he wants to do such a thing, he can't get Britain and France, who hate Red Russia, to support him, otherwise how could these lands that had fallen into the hands of Red Russia and Japan be taken back by just a piece of waste paper from the Provisional Government?

Kolchak breathed a sigh of relief after reading it, the conditions were not very lenient, but they were also harsh, barely acceptable, he nodded and said: "Thank you, Your Excellency the Great Chairman, thank you for extending a hand of friendship to help our Russian people at such a critical moment, and thank you from the bottom of my heart......"

The news of Kolchak and the appearance of the Russian Provisional Government in Shanghai immediately shocked the world, and everyone's attention to China immediately shifted from the war-torn Shandong to Shanghai, after all, the whole world knew that Kolchak took a full 500 tons of gold with him when he fled from Russia. All British ministers did not even need to receive instructions from Whitehall to order the consulates in Nanjing, Wuhan and Shanghai to investigate the whereabouts of the gold. and explicitly sent a note to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Nationalist Government that China's act of taking in the Russian Provisional Government was to a large extent anachronistic, on the grounds that, of course, China itself was at war at present. Britain and France avoided talking about why Kolchak chose to flee into China, which was in a state of war, and they only had the 500 tons of gold in their eyes.

Soon however, they could not care about the 500 tons of gold, for a piece of news quickly diverted their attention, and on December 1, when the snow began to fall in the northern region, the Japanese army of Honjo Shigeru invaded Jinan, the capital of Shandong. Although the Japanese entered the city and found that the city was empty, and there were a large number of Shina troops on the outskirts of the city that had not withdrawn, they still trumpeted the martial arts of the imperial army out of habit......

"Our invincible Imperial Japanese Army captured Jinan yesterday, and the Chinese army ......fled in despair," said a report from Japan's "Asahi Shimbun."

"The war situation in Shandong is tight, the Japanese army has invaded our Jinan, and our officers and men are resisting to the death" This is a report from Shanghai's "Declaration."

"The youth army is retreating one after another, and Yu Shuai intends to mediate to avoid damage to Sino-Japanese diplomatic relations. In view of the fact that the Nationalist Government in the south violated the resolution of the central government and started the war privately, those who picked quarrels and provoked troubles and undermined diplomatic relations will be held accountable after the war," this was reported by Beijing's "Shuntian Times."

But no matter which report is not close to the truth, the person who feels the truth the most is none other than Yuheng Yicheng in Linzi. This Japanese general knows better than anyone else that the so-called conquest of Jinan is a big joke at all, first of all, Jinan is an empty city, not to mention for the time being, the Chinese army is now obviously starting to secretly organize an encirclement network with Jinan as the center.

The reason why General Yuheng Issei knew the strategic intentions of the Shina army but did not retreat was nothing more than two reasons: first, there was no way to explain to Tokyo; The second point is that he himself does not believe that the Chinese army is capable of defeating him.

It was the Honjo Fan Division that entered Jinan, while the main forces of the other two divisions followed him and stationed between Linzi and Jinan, in short, it was almost impossible to encircle and annihilate the Japanese army in such a long area. Therefore, Yuheng Yicheng didn't need to worry about this at all, what really annoyed him was the constant raids and harassment operations on the rear transportation line and the smell of blood that was still clearly audible in Linzi City.

Sun Meiyao's 5,000 bandit army, which had been intensively trained and reformed by the Youth Army, now had some scale, and after joining up with many officers and men of the First Division who had infiltrated behind enemy lines, they continued to attack the Japanese army's communication line between Qingdao and Linzi. At least the Japanese army's daily supply of rice balls has been reduced to two.

However, the Japanese army is worthy of being a regular army, and unlike the Beiyang Army, they attach great importance to their own logistics support, and the second- and third-line troops responsible for transporting materials have strong combat capabilities. Sun Meiyao tried to take it hard, but not only failed to succeed, but also damaged the Bailai brothers. So soon Sun Meiyao changed her style of play, from a strong attack to a broken road, specifically not to fight with you, such a long line of communication, the Japanese army can't place troops everywhere, so Sun Meiyao divided his brothers into dozens of groups of people, digging roads, burying mines, and picking railroad tracks, and the purpose is also clear, if you want to send things to the front line smoothly, it won't work. Lice can't kill people, but they can definitely annoy people.

Yuheng Yicheng's logistics support was jointly responsible for the baggage troops of the three divisions and the Chinese puppet army of the three armies, for which he severely reprimanded the three puppet army leaders, but he also realized that he was now in a predicament. More and more South China troops are massing in the Jinan area, but what do they plan to rely on to defeat their elite Japanese forces? Is it planning to pile up by the number of people?

Although he had long planned to use himself as a bait to form a decisive battle with the South China army, Yu Heng Yicheng still felt a hint of danger when he looked at the news about the transfer of the South China army that was constantly gathered in his hand.

"Order to go down and build strong fortifications to prevent the sneak attack of the Shina army" Although I don't think the Shina army has the courage to attack the imperial army composed of two divisions, Yuheng Yicheng, who was born in a professional class, still gave the order to stick to it, even if it attracts ridicule from below.
