In the middle of the night, on the steppe on the outskirts of Irkutsk, a team of centaurs slowly appeared on the horizon.

"Comrade Konstantin, Irkutsk is ahead, we can't move on!" Chabaev pointed ahead with his horsewhip and reminded in a whisper.

To be honest, Chabaev's mind was still a little dizzy at this time, and he set out from Omsk and walked almost 2,000 kilometers all the way to the west. And it must be noted that there are white troops on all sides, and on several occasions, Chabaev thought that his cavalry battalion was going to be exposed and had to take a break, but the commissioner was able to resolve the crisis every time.

Chabaev admired the commissioner a little, and the lone hero was nothing more than that. No wonder the central government sent him to take charge of retaking the gold, it's just too powerful.

"Set up camp," Learwin did not know that she had been worshipped, and she indifferently ordered: "Let the comrades rest and rest, and tomorrow we will put on makeup and go into the city to reconnoitre!" ”

After saying that, Li Erwen left on her own, because she was really in a bad mood, and she didn't find any trace of a certain immortal along the way, and getting closer and closer to the gold train could only mean one thing - a certain immortal had already arrived and was intensively planning a plan to snatch the gold. At this time, she had just arrived in Irkutsk, and it can be said that she was completely defeated.

Now, Learvin considered whether to warn Renan and tell him that he had to be on guard. Of course, she can also directly identify herself, and then show up to fight with someone. However, Learvin quickly abandoned the latter option, knowing full well that the Entente was also a pot of gruel, with the defeat of Kolchak and the fall of Denikin. The Russian White Army was no longer of much use to speak of.

At this moment. The parties involved in the direct intervention in Russia have become somewhat detached. I'm afraid they are all planning for their own interests, like that guy Genan, that damn French rooster has long coveted gold. As for the Japanese and the Americans, Learvin has always disliked the Japanese, who are all bad at the grain, and as for the Americans, these money-worshipping bastards have always been money-oriented, and they are also unreliable.

Learvin knew that his pig teammates were even more terrifying than his god opponents. And now that she's inevitably going to face god-like opponents, don't bring a bunch of pig-like teammates with her. For now, it is better to act secretly, to have a praying mantis catch cicada and yellow finch behind, and wait for a certain immortal to make a move, and then disrupt his plan.

While Liervan was conceiving a plan of action, in Irkutsk, the pig teammates she despised were also nervously planning to win the gold.

The French general Genan, the titular commander-in-chief of the Entente intervention forces, was now waiting for orders from the top. After all, on the way is Chita. Further from Chita, there is the Middle East Road. Today, the three eastern provinces are Japanese territory. If this batch of gold goes the Middle East. It will inevitably fall into the hands of the Japanese.

Renan didn't intend to give away the gold, from Kazan to Omsk to Irkutsk, he escorted this batch of gold for thousands of kilometers, and there was no reason why he gave it to someone else in the end, right?

Genan's intention was obvious, that is, to take advantage of the fact that the gold was still under his guard, to strike first, and swallow this batch of gold first.

However, the French government had concerns about this, first of all, this gold belonged to Russia, and the Entente group had no legitimate reason to steal this gold; Secondly, the three eastern provinces and the Middle East Road are now being controlled by the Japanese, and if they want to safely bring this batch of gold out of Russia, they must deal with the Japanese, and it is obvious that the Japanese are not stupid, and there is no reason to give up a piece of the pie; In the end, the British and Americans were still watching, and even if they wanted to steal gold, they had to look at their faces.

Therefore, until the last resort, the French government will not agree to Genan to go to Ming to rob this batch of gold, and even if it does, it will not be able to bring Russia out, and in the end it will be a failure.

Of course, the French did not intend to watch the Japanese make a profit, it is true that the little devils controlled the Middle East Road, but after all, the gold was still under the direct protection of Genan, and without the consent of the French, the gold could not be shipped to Russia.

"Gold is the property of the Russian Provisional Government, and you must do your best to protect the interests of our Russian allies!"

When Renan received this telegram, he was at first a little surprised, and then he reacted - what a clever trick!

At that time, Gennan went to meet with the "Russian allies" in a hurry, believing that as long as the work of the Russian allies was done, the gold would not escape from the palm of his hands.

It is clear that the French are also thinking about the same as the Japanese, and since this gold belongs to the Russians in legal terms, if they can convince the Russians, will they not be able to make gold in the name of justice?

In the eyes of Genan and the French government, this is nothing more than supporting an agent, so that this agent can help them obtain gold reasonably and legally, how simple it is!

The first agent Renan found was Semenov, as the only remaining big leader in the White Army, for the time being, whether in terms of strength or personal prestige, this person belonged to the first candidate to inherit Kolchak's "legacy". What's more, Chita is still under the control of this one, and if he can be on the side of France, things will be much easier.

However, I have to admit that the French reacted a little slowly, or they didn't pay attention to Semenov before, and even had a little unpleasantness with Semenov. How so? The French also supported Kolchak before, and Semenov, who always dragged Kolchak back, naturally did not win the appreciation of France.

Renan has not criticized and attacked Semyonov once, thinking that it is this bastard who has ruined the overall situation, and even said very explicitly: "The only way to kill Semyonov and Von . Engern, Russia will have a chance to be rescued! ”

This also directly led to the fact that Semenov was not very interested in the French, and it was naturally difficult for the two sides to communicate and reach an agreement. Of course, don't think of Semenov as too modest, he is not a loyal chaste martyr, and the reason why he is not interested in the French is not because he agreed with the Japanese, nor because of the unpleasantness before. In a sense, this is also an undisciplined person, and he doesn't feel ashamed at all when he is a slave with three surnames. It's completely the kind of rotten thing that forgets profit.

The reason why Semenov did not agree to the conditions of the French. The reason is simple: first. The French are not high enough, secondly, the French are not particularly well positioned in this battle for gold, and thirdly, the British and Americans have not yet offered, so maybe they are even higher?

Anyway, Semenov is ready to sit on the ground and raise the price, and he will not hesitate to offer his knees as soon as there are better offers from other big hooligans.

At that time, this dizzy guy was very complacent to Feng. Engén said, "See." Whether it is the Japanese, the French, the British and the Americans, they all have to look at Lao Tzu's face, and they all have to stammer Lao Tzu, haha, no matter who wants gold, they have to give Lao Tzu a big cup of soup! Lao Tzu is now an extremely important big man! ”

So is Semyonov really that important? In fact, history has already given the answer, if Kolchak and Denikin can still leave a little legend in history, and Semenov is an outcast of history, just a puddle of shit on both sides of the broad road of history. It's just disgusting!

This guy who has been carried away by self-aggrandizement will soon be thrown away by history, for this battle for gold. He can't even be considered a supporting role, he can only be said to be a trickster.

Because. First of all, he was not yet the nominal legitimate leader of Russia, and in his own strength he could not sit in that position; Secondly, the gold is not in his control, he is just stuck in a node where the gold flows abroad, at most it can create a little trouble; In the end, he did not yet know how to know people, and Kolchak could be abandoned by the subordinates who once supported him, and under the influence of absolute interests, his subordinates were not much better than Kolchak's cousin.

"Mr. Baron, you should know that we are quite sincere, and if you can help us solve the problem of gold, we are willing to support you as the commander-in-chief of the White Army."

Feng. Engén looked at the two gentlemen in suits and leather shoes opposite, who had come to negotiate with him on behalf of the British and American governments, and they had offered very good terms. Engern was tempted.

"I must confirm that this batch of gold can only be used for the defeat of the Bolsheviks, the recasting of the Romanov dynasty, that is, this batch of gold belongs to Grand Duke Mikhail?"

The two even smiled at each other, nodded and said, "Of course, this is beyond doubt. There has never been any attempt by our two Governments to illegally take possession of this gold. This gold belongs to Russia, to those patriots who are committed to the elimination of the Bolsheviks and the restoration of the traditional order in Russia! ”

Feng. Ungeen was not entirely satisfied with this reply, because the two envoys did not promise that the gold belonged to the Romanov dynasty, which was somewhat different from his expectations, but it was not entirely unacceptable. Once he succeeded to the post of commander-in-chief of the White Army, once he had this batch of gold, he could also indirectly achieve his goal.

"Very well, so what do you need me to do?" Feng. Engern asked.

The two envoys in suits and leather shoes looked at each other and smiled, and replied indifferently: "Very simply, according to our intelligence, some forces with ulterior motives are playing with the idea of this batch of gold and preparing to illegally occupy this gold. We hope that you, when necessary, will step up and join us in protecting this gold ......."

"Speak better than sing!" Li Xiaofeng sneered and said to Yakov: "The British and the Yankees are really a pair of brothers, the same smell and the same shamelessness. ”

Yakov only nodded slightly, although he didn't have the good ears of a certain immortal, and he couldn't hear von. The content of their secret conversation. But what those guys can talk about is not a secret to him at all, it is nothing more than a dirty political deal.

"Poor Semenov, he would never have imagined that he would be sold in a matter of minutes by his most admired right-hand man." Li Xiaofeng sarcastically said again, "Of course he is also a fool, he is too self-righteous, and he really thinks he is a character......"

Speaking of this, Li Xiaofeng suddenly paused, turned his head and asked, "Tell me, what will be his expression when he finds out that he has been betrayed?" ”

Yakov was stunned, because in his opinion a certain immortal was a bit unprofessional, and the most important thing now was to figure out how to get the gold. Yakov believed that a certain immortal should focus on gold, rather than watching the infighting between the Allied hooligans and a handful of clowns.

"There is some truth in your opinion," Li Xiaofeng only smiled at Yakov's reminder. "But you're focusing on the wrong point. I told you a long time ago that it was easy to steal the gold. For me, that's not a problem at all. What we need is to make good use of the Allied countries and the White Army, a group of clowns who jump off the beam, and get the gold without knowing it, so it is very necessary to pay attention to their movements! ”

Yes, Li Xiaofeng has never come up with a reasonable way to seize gold, he has always wanted to make the whole thing seamless, and it is clear that he lacks the calculations of Mikoyan and Zhdanov. So there has never been a good way, and the reason why I pay attention to the performances of the Entente hooligans and the local Russian clowns. This is just looking for inspiration, and even if you can't find it, it doesn't hurt to see what they're planning, isn't it?

Yakov, although he did not understand what someone was doing, but someone was the boss, he was just an assistant, and he could only act according to the boss's intentions.

"From the information we have learned, the purpose of the Entente group is basically the same, and the agents of Guò obtain the gold for them reasonably and legally...... Obviously, they will have a battle over the agent next, and whose agent will come to the fore in the end. Whoever gets the gold. ”

I have to say that Li Xiaofeng was a little disappointed, Yakov's analysis was too superficial. It was too superficial to be able to perform the duties of his assistant at such a level.

"That's all?" He asked, slightly disappointed.

Yakov replied calmly, still so indifferently: "Not exactly, I personally feel that the dispute between the agents of the Entente group is completely unnecessary, even ridiculous. Because none of them had the ability to monopolize the gold, no matter whose agents came to power in the end, they would have to cooperate and compromise if they wanted to get the gold out of Russia. Personally, I think that in the end, in addition to completely destroying the White Army, the gold will be 'evenly distributed' according to their respective strengths, and this pointless infighting will be ended by equalizing interests. ”

Li Xiaofeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the latter part of the analysis is about the same, otherwise he would really consider changing an assistant. Speaking from the heart, according to what this guy really thinks in his heart, the most suitable person to be his assistant is Li Erwen.

Surprising, isn't it? To be honest, after an analysis, when Li Xiaofeng came to this conclusion, even he was taken aback. No matter how you look at it, Learwin is an out-and-out crazy woman, with a weirder temper than his second coward, and a way of thinking about problems that is even more different from ordinary people.

But it is undeniable that this woman is really good at things like intrigue and trickery, and to put it bluntly, if someone was not an immortal, he would have been played to death by this crazy woman. Of course, the most important and crucial thing is that Learvin has no normal human morality at all, and as long as she can achieve the end, the means are completely negligible.

All in all, Learwin is a witch with no discipline and outrageous methods, a natural conspirator. It is the kind of powerful tool that is the favorite of ambitious and thoughtful politicians. Historically, people like her include Beria and Yezulf.

Anyway, Li Xiaofeng very much hopes that Yakov can also become such a powerful tool, but unfortunately, this kid has one of the biggest weaknesses, for the sake of his precious sister, he can go out of his way, and even betray a certain immortal. And Li Xiaofeng doesn't like this very much, and he can't change it.

Of course, Learwin also has a weakness, that is, this woman is too self-centered, she only serves herself, and she is a fiery horse that no one can tame. It was for this reason that a certain immortal gave up on her, a certain immortal did not like a tool that he could not even manipulate, compared to Liervin, Yakov was reliable and safe enough.

"How do you think we can get the gold without us knowing?" Li Xiaofeng asked the question he had been unable to solve.

Yakov thought for a moment and asked rhetorically: "I remember you just said that it is easy to snatch gold. ”

The subtext of this is obvious, since there is nothing to be afraid of, it's good to grab it directly, what do you have to do if you have so many scruples?

Li Xiaofeng said with a smile: "I hope there is a scientific and reasonable explanation for the disappearance of this batch of gold, and it is best for someone to help us carry the black pot, do you understand?" ”

Yakov didn't fully understand, but he also understood the meaning of a certain immortal, so he asked again: "That's why you care about the movements of the Entente, and you want to use their conspiracy to achieve their goals, make them blame each other, and let them bear the blame, right?" ”

Li Xiaofeng smiled and nodded, and then asked hopefully, "So, do you have a way?" ”

Without hesitation, Yakov replied: "No! ”

Li Xiaofeng looked at Yakov speechlessly, and then said, "As my assistant, shouldn't you think more and solve the problem for me as much as possible?" ”

Yakov shook his head and said: "That's true, but your requirements are too high and unrealistic. So I can only tell the truth and give the most reasonable way to build yì - don't worry so much, just go and grab it! ”

Li Xiaofeng was speechless again, and he once again began to wonder if it was right to let Yakov be his assistant, this guy was simply ...... It's just hateful, and Learvin, that crazy woman probably won't answer him like that, on the contrary, that crazy woman will come up with a lot of crazy ideas, and she can't wait to make a mess in the world in one fell swoop. And the only thing he had to do as an immortal was to choose those plans that were relatively not too crazy.

At this moment, Li Xiaofeng couldn't help but miss Learvin a little, of course, he would soon find out that the gourd-like Yakov was much cuter than the crazy Lilvin...... (To be continued......)
