Sitting in his own position, Cai Ye fiddled with a fountain pen in his hand, this fountain pen was still a gift from Yan Shao―――――― as a matter of course, this fountain pen is also a product of Yushi Group.

After hearing Pavlov's words, Cai Yi's expression became much stricter, and he became more serious.

Historically, Cai Yi had died early, so he had little contact with communism. Because of this, he, like many people in China, did not have a good impression of these red elements.

It is not surprising that China in Yan Shao's time was in an environment where it was bullied by the great powers, and the great powers at the Paris Peace Conference played China hard again. Naturally, I picked up a straw and thought it could save my life, especially with such a very demagogic party. What's more, China itself is a country deeply influenced by Confucianism, and the rebels of all dynasties have also taken 'dividing the land' as their primary program, and 'princes and princes will have a kind of peace of mind' is even more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so naturally there will not be too much resistance to this.

But now it is different, under the leadership of the Kuomintang, China has gradually become stronger, and even on an equal footing with the foreign powers. In this case, Chinese people naturally become picky about foreign thoughts.

In addition, at present, China and Soviet Russia are considered enemies, and other reasons may not be understood by the Chinese people, but no matter how good the enemy's things are, there is no doubt about this.

Especially for generals like Cai Ye on the front line, in order to avoid them being bewitched by Soviet Russia, Yan Shao once talked to them personally. And Yan Shao also put forward his own views on Soviet Russia and the ideas it believed.

The second is a human being, not to mention that Yan Shao can also be said to have grown up under the red flag back then. Naturally, they have a better understanding of Soviet Russia and the ideas it believes in. At the same time, he is also very aware of the drawbacks, coupled with his experience over the years, it is easier for Yan Shao to summarize the problems.

Although because Soviet Russia has just been formed. Yan Shao couldn't say much, but even so, it was easy for the generals present at the time to understand what Yan Shao meant.

It is also because of this relationship that the generals and officers of the Ural Military District are more disgusted with Soviet Russia, and Cai Ye is naturally the same. Even these people have a sense of closeness to Kolchak―――――― although the relationship between them seems to be very bad, at least the position is still the same.

That being said...

As the commander of the Ural Military District, Cai Ye is still clear about the private connection between the government and Soviet Russia. Don't say anything else. How many munitions and supplies pass through his military district every year and are sent to Soviet Russia? These things are all handled by Cai Yi.

Of course, Cai knew why the government wanted to help Soviet Russia, but it was precisely because of this. That's why he realized the complicated relationship between China and Soviet Russia, so even if Pavlov personally visited his door, Cai Ye didn't dare to make any promises lightly, and could only be vague.

"Mr. Foreign Minister, please. If it's within my purview. I'll do my best..."Speaking of this, Cai Ye said with some embarrassment. "However, if it exceeds my authority, then I can only report to Beijing, and I am not sure what the specific result will be..."

"Of course," Pavlov said with a smile. I believe that the current situation in Eastern Europe is also clear to His Excellency the General, and Soviet Russia is wreaking havoc in Eastern Europe, so ......... His Excellency Kolchak sent me. I hope that your government will be able to send troops to help our country deal with Soviet Russia and solve the Russian threat to the capitalist world..."

Speaking of which. Pavlov looked at Cai Ye. "Actually, this is also good for your country, after all, if Soviet Russia wins the victory, then the regime led by Soviet Russia will inevitably border your country's borders, and it will also cause considerable pressure on your country, not to mention that these red elements are extremely demagogic, it is difficult to say that there will not be some mixed into your country when they fall, and then cause civil strife in your country..."

Pavlov sighed deeply as he spoke, and his eyes looked at the sun outside the window. "That's why my country ended up like this..."

Listening to Paplov's words, Cai Ye was also slightly silent, obviously a little touched.

――――――――――――――――――――

Pavlov was quite clever enough to say 'the border of your country', but he did not say where the border was. At present, the relationship between the Russian Provisional Government and the Communist Government is actually very complicated, and the relationship between the two governments was relatively good, but since the Nationalist Government conquered Siberia and other places, the relationship has become very bad.

Especially some time ago, Kolchak almost intended to sever relations with China. It was only later because of the sudden 'rise up' of Soviet Russia and the successive defeats of the intervention army and the White Army that it had to regain good relations with China.

But even so, the Kolchak regime did not recognize the occupation of Siberia and other places by the Nationalist government. That's why Pavlov didn't specify the specific location of the border, after all, if you talk about Ula, it is tantamount to recognizing China's ownership of Siberia and other places.

On the other hand, if he just said vaguely...

Maybe this border is on the Outer Mongolian side...

Provided, of course, that Kolchak can win this war ...

Otherwise, it's just their lust together.

As for the purpose of his visit, it was simple, although Kolchak had already begun to consider whether to go through the control area of Guò China, reach Vladivostok via the Trans-Siberian Railway, and then take a boat in Vladivostok to South Russia or somewhere else.

But if you can not go, it is obviously better not to go...

This is also the reason why Paplov said what he just said, you must know that now China has hundreds of thousands of troops stationed in the Urals, if it can get China's support, even if it can't defeat Soviet Russia, at least it can gain a firm foothold in Ufa and other regions, and relying on China behind it, Kolchak obviously can also have the capital to fight with Soviet Russia...

Of course, Cai Ye knew all about Paplov's thoughts, but he didn't break it. Because he also has some concerns in his heart, why Yan Shao wants to support Soviet Russia, Cai Ye is very clear. Because Yan Shao had already told Cai Ye before this―――――― he wanted to contact Soviet Russia in private, and even donated a large number of arms to Soviet Russia, without the full support of Cai Ye, the commander of the military region, it was unimaginable.

Cai Ye also agrees with Yan Shao's judgment. Indeed, after occupying Siberia and other places, China did make some big moves. Although China's strength is strong at the moment, it can't compete with all the powers, and if Britain, France and other countries all put pressure on China, China's pressure will be great, and there can be a target to help attract hatred at this time. It couldn't be better for China.

And Soviet Russia is such a target...

Although after the loss of Siberia and Central Asia, it seems that Soviet Russia has become less shocking. But in fact, even those two places were lost. With the territory of Eastern Europe alone, Soviet Russia was already larger than the rest of Europe combined...

In other words, this responsibility of MT was still taken up by Soviet Russia...

But it's the same. Soviet Russia was also a threat to China. Especially after the territorial contradictions between the two countries ...

In fact, there is another reason why Cai Ye has a good impression of the Kolchak regime, that is, they are much easier to deal with than Soviet Russia. In the battle with the intervention army this time, the appearance of Soviet Russia was very good, especially the outstanding generals under its command, which made Cai Ye look down on these people with admiration.

On the other hand, the White Army and the Intervention Army will inevitably make people shake their heads...

Anyway, if Cai Ye had to choose an opponent, Cai Ye would rather choose the White Army and the Intervention Army as opponents than with Soviet Russia.

――――――――――――――――――――

Although Cai Ye had a much better impression of the Kolchak regime than Soviet Russia. But the matter of sending troops to aid is not up to him after all. Therefore, after hearing Pavlov's request, Cai Yi's expression looked very embarrassed.

"This—" hesitated. Cai Ye was a little embarrassed. "I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I can't make the decision on this matter, and I still need the consent of the country..."

Although Cai Yi's prestige in the national defense force is very high, the army is not his after all. He has no problem with the use of troops on a small scale, but he has no right to send troops to help the White Army fight against Soviet Russia. What's more, at present, the Kuomintang-Socialist Government and Soviet Russia still have some private contacts, and if they really want to do something with Soviet Russia, who knows if it will destroy Beijing's plan?

For Yan Shao's vision, Cai Ye and many people still admire it. Because it is precisely because of Yan Shao's foresight that China can stand side by side with the great powers in just a few years.

Therefore, anything that may destroy Yan Shao's plan, Cai Ye will avoid doing it...

Hearing Cai Yi's answer, Pavlov's expression was obviously darkened. Fortunately, he had already made preparations, and he knew very well that Cai Ye would not agree to his request lightly, so this mood did not dim for a long time.

After recovering a little, Pavlov quickly spoke. "In that case, I hope that Your Excellency the General will convey the request of our government to your government, and in addition..."

With that, Paplov pulled out a copy of his briefcase and handed it to Cai.

"If you can, my Government would also like your country to provide us with weapons to help us defeat the Red elements that are currently entrenched in Eastern Europe..."

"Weapons?" Hearing Pavlov's words, Cai Ye was obviously stunned for a moment. "I remember that our country has already supplied many weapons to your country, right?" That being said, Cai Ye still took the text from Pavlov's hand and flipped through it, but then he was stunned by the contents.

At the same time, Pavlov spoke. "General Kolchak is naturally deeply grateful for your country's assistance, but those weapons are obviously not enough to help our country defeat Soviet Russia, so we hope to be able to get more weapons, more and heavier weapons..."

"I can naturally understand your country's difficulties, but..."Looking at the information in his hand, Cai Ye said with some embarrassment. That's a lot of demand..."

It's no wonder that Cai said this, because the weapons and equipment listed in the text are no longer just ordinary equipment such as rifles, machine guns and mortars. There are even tanks, armored vehicles and even large-caliber heavy artillery ...

To be honest, it is not that the national government does not have these equipment, but let them give these equipment to Kolchak―――――― Cai Yi, who knows Yan Shao very well, is naturally very clear that it is in Yan Shao's 'arrangement'. The fate of the Kolchak regime should have been settled by Soviet Russia, and it should have become a piece of history completely, and now Yan Shao is bleeding profusely. Giving so many things to a regime that is about to be dealt with, Yan Shao obviously will not agree...

What's more, there are not many of these weapons and equipment.

For example, tanks and armored vehicles, since the armored units of the expeditionary forces on the Western Front repeatedly performed their military exploits, almost all the great powers began to take an interest in this new land weapon. Even later in the war, both sides researched a large number of anti-tank weapons, and many armored fighting vehicles were destroyed by these 'cheap' weapons.

One bad apple won’t spoil the whole bunch. Despite the fact that in the face of 50 caliber anti-tank guns, these tanks and armored vehicles were not very good, but by them for cover. However, it can ensure that the infantry who are advancing together can reduce casualties under the enemy's machine-gun fire.

This alone is enough for countries to invest heavily in this.

China, on the other hand, was the first country to put tanks into actual combat. The technology on this is undoubtedly very advanced. Even slightly ahead of Britain and France―――――― etc., Yan Shao's role in it is naturally very large, after all, it is precisely because of Yan Shao's existence that R&D institutions have taken a lot of detours.

However, it is precisely because of this that the national government is well aware of the shortcomings of these new weapons.

For example, reliability, after all, is a new weapon that has just been born, and the reliability is very poor, and it often breaks down and the vehicle is parked in the middle of the road. And because of this. The National Government decided that until these new weapons were highly reliable, the National Government would be equipped only with a small number of them.

As for the rest of the production. Of course, all of them are exported.

During the European War, several Entente powers in Europe were the main customers, and they basically monopolized most of the production of the Rainstone Group. However, now that the war is over, there is no need for the European side to continue to import these vehicles, and Yushi Group has to find new markets.

This new market is South America...

Compared to wartime Europe, the market in South America is clearly not bad...

The army is not dissatisfied with this, on the one hand, because the reliability of these weapons is indeed relatively poor, and on the other hand, although tanks and armored vehicles are gone, this part of the resources is used to help the army replace other weapons.

For example, anti-tank guns and anti-aircraft artillery, as well as many army units that are not yet equipped with machine guns, shotguns and submachine guns, can also be supplemented with this resource.

At present, the Ural Military District has only a few hundred tanks and armored vehicles, as a kind of deterrent. Now Pavlov suddenly came to the door, hoping that Cai Ye could support him, and Cai Ye naturally would not agree.

――――――――――――――――――――

Noticing Cai's expression, Pavlov smiled, apparently guessing his thoughts.

"Please rest assured, these weapons and equipment are not for nothing, after all, we are well aware of your country's difficulties." ――――――Of course, more importantly, because the Russians know very well that Chinese will not be able to provide them with weapons and equipment for nothing.

"And what do you mean?" Hearing Paplov say that it was not for nothing, Cai Ye was more or less relieved.

"Buy," Pavlov got up from his seat and walked in front of Cai. Before I left, General Kolchak told me that if your country is willing to provide this batch of arms to our country, we are willing to buy them from your government..."

"Did you buy it?" heard Paplov say this, Cai Yi groaned for a moment.

If he had bought it, he thought he might succeed. After all, no one would refuse a white sum of money, and he was not worried about Kolchak's ability to pay. Because according to the information provided by the secret service, in the past, the Kolchak government had purchased a lot of equipment from Britain and the United States, and they were paid for in gold, but this time it was just to exchange the transaction object for them...

But...

"Can't your country buy it from Britain and the United States?"

Thinking about it, faced with this question, Pavlov decided to tell the truth.

"There's no way," Pavlov shook his head. Since we broke off contact with General Denikin, we can no longer buy any weapons and equipment from the British and Americans, not to mention equipment such as tanks and armored vehicles, considering the current shape, even if the British and Americans are willing to sell them, they may not be able to be safely delivered to the place..."

Cai Yi nodded in agreement.

"Well, I'll send a telegram to China later, and I believe that Beijing should be interested in your country's proposal..."

"I'll leave this matter to the general..."Looking at Cai Yi, Pavlov said with some gratitude.

However, in the face of Pavlov's gratitude, Cai Ye said with a smile. "Where, are you and me allies after all..."

Saying this, Cai Yi laughed.

However, after hearing Cai Yi's words, although Pavlov was laughing, he was actually smiling bitterly, after all, the military action taken by the Nationalist government some time ago was very inauthentic...

And...

As the foreign minister of the Kolchak regime, although Pavlov was not a big man at that time, he also witnessed the glory of 'Tsarist Russia'. And now, when faced with the 'allies' who have encroached on their territory, instead of expressing their anger and trying to regain the lost territory, they have to come to the door for help, which is too big for Paplov...

Looking at Cai Yi, who was standing in front of him and smiling, and looking at the new version of the Chinese map hanging on the wall of the office, which clearly marked the newly occupied territories such as Siberia, Pavlov couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw this.

"Even if we win the victory over the reds in the end, what will be left of Russia after this war........."
