"Tukhachevsky, long time no see. I'm Ivanov, your classmate at the Alexander Military Academy! The visitor smiled and introduced himself.

"Hello, Ivanov!" Tukhachevsky nodded. Although, he was sure, when he was in school at the Alexandria Military School, there was absolutely no one named Ivanov. However, since the other party pretended to use this name, he didn't have to expose it.

"You go down first, Ivanov and I want to catch up." Tukhachevsky commanded the guards.

"Yes, Comrade Commander." The guard nodded and exited the office.

The young man named Ivanov had a smile on his face all the time. He was sure that Tukhachevsky already knew his identity. However, Tukhachevsky did not debunk him. It can be seen that Tukhachevsky must have his own careful thoughts. This shows that the likelihood of him completing the task is undoubtedly much higher.

After the guards left, the smile on Tukhachevsky's face disappeared completely. At the same time, he had an extra delicate pistol in his hand, and the muzzle of the gun was pointed at Ivanov.

"Tell me, who the hell are you, don't play tricks!" Tukhachevsky said coldly.

"Haha! Comrade Commander. I think you know who I am. Just now, but you covered for me. Otherwise, I would have been arrested by the guards, or even taken out and shot. Ivanov said with a smile.

"Bastard! Don't waste time, who the hell are you! If I delay any longer, I'll shoot. Tukhachevsky got a little impatient.

"Well, Comrade Commander, I'm not kidding you. My name is Ivanov. I was also a student at the Alexandria Military Academy. Ivanov said seriously.

"You're looking for death." Tukhachevsky raised the pistol in his hand and aimed it at Ivanov's head. As long as he wanted, with a pull of the trigger, he could shatter Ivanov's head with a single shot.

"I didn't lie to you, I was a student at the Alexandria Military Academy, but. It's only one year younger than you. In addition, I am currently working for the Military Intelligence Bureau of the Chinese Empire*. Ivanov hurriedly said. If Tukhachevsky is provoked and the guy who provokes him really shoots, then he will die in vain.

"Imperial Chinese * Military Intelligence Bureau? I knew you were an intelligence officer. Frankly, what is your purpose here? Tukhachevsky asked. Although, he had long expected the identity of the other party. However, the other party dared to admit that it was still a little unexpected for him.

"Comrade Commander. Can you put the pistol away first? This thing, if it goes off, it's not good. Please rest assured, Comrade Commander, that I have absolutely no ill will towards you. Ivanov said.

Tukhachevsky hesitated, but put the gun away. However, he did not forget to warn this guy: "Don't try to play tricks, there are my guards outside the door, and the whole yard." There was a total of guard platoons. In the whole of Elista, there were 500,000 Soviet Russian Red Army. ”

"Don't worry. Comrade Commander, I don't want to die yet. Ivanov said.

"Humph! Say what you mean. Tukhachevsky continued.

"Comrade Commander, my purpose in coming is very simple, to save you." Ivanov said.

Tukhachevsky did not speak, however, the sarcastic expression on his face undoubtedly suggested. He did not believe in Ivanov's words at all.

"Now, the 9th and 13th armies of the Imperial Army are thinking about the approach of Elista, and it is not far from Elista. There are three days left at most to reach Elista. When the time comes, if the Imperial Army goes on the offensive, it will be with only these rabble of Elista. Will it be able to withstand the attack of the elite Imperial Army? Presumably, the gap between the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Army and the Soviet Russian Red Army is needless to say, and Your Excellency is also very clear. Ivanov said.

"I admit that the combat effectiveness of the Chinese* army is very strong. However, with the 500,000 Soviet and Russian Red Army blindly defending, it will probably be very difficult for the Chinese* army to destroy us. In addition, the price paid will definitely make the Chinese Empire very uncomfortable. Tukhachevsky said with great certainty.

Ivanov nodded: "Maybe this will happen." However, it is an indisputable fact that the Imperial Army captured Elista and wiped out all the Soviet Russian Red Army. This is also definitely not a good thing for Comrade Commander. That's why I said I'm here to save you. ”

"Just me? How are you going to save me? Tukhachevsky asked rhetorically.

"Comrade Commander, the current situation is already very clear. Our troops launched a counterattack in Western Siberia, and the defeat of the Ural Front of the Soviet Russian Red Army was assured. As for Your Excellency's Caucasian Front, it has also become a turtle in an urn, and it is almost impossible to escape. Therefore, after this crushing defeat, the Soviet Russian Red Army lost at least half of its troops, and they were all elite troops. There is no future for Soviet Russia, and it would be a great pity if Comrade Commander continued to serve Soviet Russia. Ivanov said.

"Soviet Russia has an army of three million, and even if you lose two army groups, it is nothing. With the mobilization capabilities of the Russian Red Army, it will soon be able to arm more troops. Tukhachevsky said stiffly.

"Can the peasants who have just laid down their hoes also be called an army? In front of the Imperial Army, it is simply vulnerable. Ivanov said with a smile.

Tukhachevsky didn't say a word, and a hint of annoyance flashed in his eyes. However, he had to admit that what the other party said was correct. The newly formed armies of the Soviet Russian Red Army were indeed not very effective in combat. If such an army were used to fight against the Chinese* army, which was armed to the teeth, it would really be no different from sending it to death.

"In addition, Your Excellency's loss of hundreds of thousands of troops this time is an absolutely unforgivable mistake for the Russian Red Army and the Bolsheviks. Even if Your Excellency is lucky enough to return to Moscow, it will definitely not end well. Even if Ulyanov appreciates Your Excellency. But I am afraid that it is inevitable that he will be tried by a military court and forced to retire, which is probably the lightest punishment, and it is not impossible to be sent to a labor camp for forced labor. Even, it is highly likely to be hanged directly. Ivanov continued.

Tukhachevsky couldn't help but start to break out in a cold sweat, he knew that Ivanov was definitely not alarmist. As a high-ranking general of the Russian Red Army, he knew very well how cruel the Russian Red Army would be when dealing with those who lost. It's just that he never thought that he would face such a punishment one day.

"No, this time the failure is not my responsibility. It was the army of the Chinese Empire that was too strong. We shouldn't have provoked the Chinese Empire in the first place. Tukhachevsky said.

"Ha, blaming the great revolutionary mentor is another serious crime!" Ivanov said with a smile.

Tukhachevsky suddenly did not know what to say.

"If you're here to scare me, then you can leave." Tukhachevsky said with some exasperation.

"Comrade Commander, it was just a little joke." Ivanov hurriedly said.

"Comrade Commander, let's get down to business. The Empire respects Your Excellency's talent very much, and does not want Your Excellency to die so young. Therefore, we hope that you will cooperate with us. This is a huge benefit to Your Excellency. Ivanov said.

"Cooperation? Isn't it a surrender? Tukhachevsky had a sarcastic smile on his lips.

"No, no, no! Certainly not surrendered. We sincerely hope to work with you. Her Majesty the Empress of the Russian Empire is very appreciative of your talents. Her Majesty the Empress is willing to appoint Your Excellency Chief of the General Staff of the Imperial Russian Army. In addition, Her Majesty the Empress knows that Your Excellency is of noble origin. Therefore, you can make your lord the duke of the Russian Empire. Ivanov said.

Suddenly, Tukhachevsky couldn't help but be stunned, although he already knew that this guy had come to recruit him. However, the conditions offered by the other party still surprised him. Whether it is the post of Chief of the General Staff of the Imperial Russian Army, or the title of duke, it is extremely precious. If the Russian Empire can destroy Soviet Russia and prosper smoothly, then he will undoubtedly be the famous minister of the Russian Empire. When the time comes, it will also be able to leave a strong mark in history.

Tukhachevsky's father, however, was bent on restoring the glory of the family and restoring his status as a nobleman. Unfortunately, Tukhachevsky joined the Bolshevik Party and became a senior general in the Russian Red Army, which made his father's wish only frustrated. If he could join the Russian Empire, then it would undoubtedly be easy to fulfill his father's wish.

But to make Tukhachevsky betray Soviet Russia, betray Comrade Ulyanov, he could not do it. He will always remember that when his life was in a difficult situation, it was Comrade Ulyanov who appreciated him, and this allowed him to rise to prominence. It would be too ungrateful to betray now.

"Comrade commander, what else is worth considering, whether it is the position of chief of the general staff or the title of duke, these lessons are not so easy to obtain." Ivanov said.

Tukhachevsky nodded, he had to admit that such conditions did make him very excited. In addition, the current situation is so difficult, if he does not accept the conditions put forward by the Chinese, he may die. So, the scales in Tukhachevsky's heart seem to be beginning to tilt.
