Chapter 1151: Luring the Wolf into the House
After the outbreak of war, both Russia and the Kingdom of Prussia, as hostile countries, had recalled their respective ambassadors. However, Russia still retains a small office in Berlin, the capital of Prussia, which is headed by a counselor of the former Russian embassy in the Kingdom of Prussia. so that the external connection between Russia and the Kingdom of Prussia would not be severed.
It's just that because of the hostilities between the two countries, this small office is not in a good situation. The Germans did not welcome them, and from time to time angry Germans attacked them. The head of the office, the former Counsellor Yevgeny, has been attacked several times. What is even more unacceptable to the Russians in this office is that the tide of war is developing in an extremely unfavorable direction for Russia and for the entire North Atlantic military alliance. If Russia were to be defeated, what would be the final outcome that awaited them? A lot of people don't dare to think about it anymore.
"Your Excellency, this is a domestic telegram!" The telegraph operator of the office handed over a telegram to Yevgeny.
This is a top-secret telegram from China, and it needs to be translated with a specially equipped cipherbook. Yevgeny took the telegram and went to his office, and began to translate the message word by word, and it took him two hours to translate the message, and he was sweating profusely. This is mainly due to the fact that the content of the message is too long.
After reading the telegram, Yevgeny's brows furrowed tightly, there was no doubt that the task on the telegram was undoubtedly too difficult for him. He was a little more than a small counsellor, and he was now given the responsibility of the fate of Russia, which made him a little excited. At the same time, there are some concerns. But it's more sad. Sadness at the fall of Russia to such an unfavorable situation. It's hard to do it. Has Russia really reached such a point now?
"Someone, contact me with the German Foreign Office. I'm going to talk to Albrech. Feng. Meet Lord Ron! Yevgeny commanded.
However, if the Russian embassy still exists, it may not be difficult for him to meet the foreign minister of the Kingdom of Prussia. But now, it's not that easy. After all, the two sides were still at war, and as the war developed, the foreign minister of the Kingdom of Prussia, Albrech. Feng. Ron has also become very busy, where will he have time to take care of his little office director?
Yevgeny was informed. Can and Albrech. Feng. When Ron met, it was already two days later. Nevertheless, Yevgeny cherished the opportunity and rushed early in the morning to the seat of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Prussia on Linden Strasse in Berlin.
"Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, it is a pleasure to meet you, and thank you so much for taking the time to meet me under such busy circumstances!" Yevgeny was very humble. After all, it was now Russia that had a request from the Kingdom of Prussia, and even the fate of Russia was in the hands of the Kingdom of Prussia.
"Your Excellency, Counsellor. I am short on time, and in half an hour I will have to meet with the ambassador of the Chinese Empire to the Kingdom of Prussia. If anything, it's a long story short! "Albrech. Feng. Ron urged.
"That's right. Your Excellency the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. Russia knows that it will be difficult to win this war, so we hope to cooperate with the Kingdom of Prussia! "Next. Yevgeny laid out Russia's plans and plans.
After listening to Yevgeny's presentation, Albrech. Feng. Ron was dumbfounded. This was completely unexpected. Russia, but the steam roller that the whole of Europe was feared at the beginning! Right now. The Russians have been reduced to the hope of gaining the protection of the Kingdom of Prussia, and this must have changed too quickly!
"Your Excellency, are you sure this is your request?" Albrech. Feng. Ron asked, somewhat uncertain, if it was a prank by the Evgeny guy. After all, it's incredible.
"Your Excellency, this is indeed our request. Since Russia has already lost this war, it naturally does not want to continue fighting. If the Kingdom of Prussia is unwilling to accept this condition, then we will have to turn to the Chinese Empire for support! Evgeny said. He did this precisely to give Albrech. Feng. Ron had a little pressure so that he could get a greater good for Russia.
"Your Excellency, this matter is too serious, this is not something I can decide on my own, I need time to report to His Majesty the King and His Majesty the Prime Minister!" Albrech. Feng. Ron said with some excitement. If the Russians sincerely turned to the Kingdom of Prussia, this would undoubtedly be a great thing for the Kingdom of Prussia. Even if Russia's strength will be greatly reduced after the war, the preserved Russia will still have great strength. This will undoubtedly be a great help for the future struggle against the Chinese Empire.
"Of course, Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, then I will await your good news!" Yevgeny said with a smile that he learned from Albrech. Feng. Ron's expression could tell that the other party was already tempted. This is undoubtedly a good thing for Russia, at least, Russia can continue to exist.
"Well, okay, Your Excellency Counselor, I'll do my best to get in touch with you!" Albrech. Feng. Ron said.
"Someone, prepare a car for me, I'm going to the palace! Also, inform the Prime Minister, Your Excellency the Chief of the General Staff, that there is an emergency that needs to be discussed with them! "Albrech. Feng. Ron immediately instructed his secretary.
"But, Your Excellency, you will have ten minutes to meet with the Chinese ambassador!" The secretary said with some embarrassment.
"Help me say sorry to the Chinese ambassador, this meeting needs to be postponed!" Albrech. Feng. Ron said without hesitation. Russia's fall to Russia was obviously much more important than a meeting with the ambassador of the Chinese Empire.
"Yes, Your Excellency!" The secretary nodded and immediately went to make arrangements.
Five minutes later, Albrech. Feng. Ron drove to the palace while getting the news of Prime Minister Otto. Feng. Bismarck, the Chief of the General Staff, General Reicher, and the Deputy Chief of the General Staff, Count Moltke, also rushed to the palace.
In the palace, in the office of King Wilhelm I, Wilhelm I, Otto. Feng. Bismarck, Admiral Reichell and Count Moltke were listening to Albrech. Feng. Ron's debriefing. Their expressions were also wonderful, and it was clear to Albrech. Feng. Ron couldn't believe the news he had brought.
"What are the Russians trying to do? They would be willing to pay such a price. Could it be that they really can't hold on? King William I muttered.
"Your Majesty, I am afraid that the situation of the Russians is indeed very bad. Otherwise, they wouldn't have made such a choice. "Otto. Feng. Bismarck said solemnly.
"Your Excellency, this is an opportunity for us, isn't it?" The Deputy Chief of the General Staff, Count Moltke, had a smile on his face. If the Russians had not stopped the army of the Kingdom of Prussia, then the Kingdom of Prussia would have been able to drive all the way into the heart of Russia and occupy the most important parts of Russia. Moreover, in the case of non-resistance from the Russians, the Kingdom of Prussia would be able to achieve its predetermined goals with only a small number of troops.
"Yes, that's a good thing for us. At the very least, we'll have a barrier to the east. There will also be an extra buffer between us and the Chinese. What's more, this buffer is still tilted in our favor! "Otto. Feng. Bismarck said.
"So, do we need to promise the Russians?" William I asked.
"Your Majesty, if we do this, I'm afraid we will directly tear our faces with the Chinese. When the time comes, the contradictions between us and the Chinese Empire will be further planned, and even the possibility of a conflict or even a war will break out directly between the two sides on the Eastern European Plain! "Albrech. Feng. Ron was a little worried.
After all, the Chinese Empire had already sent a large number of troops in the Eastern European Plain, and it had won a heavy victory. It is only a matter of time before the Russian army is completely defeated and Russia is destroyed. Now the Prussians have jumped out to seize the fruits of victory, which is undoubtedly snatching meat from the tiger's mouth of the Chinese! The Chinese certainly won't just give up.
This is something that needs to be considered. At present, the main forces of the Imperial Army are concentrated in Austria-Hungary. The Austrians were still resisting, but the Hungarians and the other Austro-Hungarian states did not want to continue the battle because of the great losses. Maybe it won't be long before we can capture Vienna and destroy Austria-Hungary! "said the Chief of the General Staff, Colonel-General Reihel.
Now, the army of the Kingdom of Prussia has more than three million. However, half of them fought in Austria-Hungary. Another million were deployed on the territory of the Netherlands on the Western Front and on the borders of the Kingdom of Prussia and France. They were preparing to wait until the main forces of France were dragged down by the Chinese Empire, the Kingdom of Spain, and the Kingdom of Belgium, and then immediately enter France and bite off a piece of fat on the French people.
After deducting the troops deployed in the rest of the country, the Kingdom of Prussia was now able to devote less than 300,000 troops to fighting in Russia. Once they fall out with the Chinese Empire, how can these 300,000 people confront the Chinese Army, which has more than 1.5 million troops? When the time comes, maybe the Chinese Army will eat and there will be no bones left! Not to mention, in the Ukrainian plain in southern Russia, there were millions of troops of the Ottoman Turkish Empire. (To be continued......)
