One hundred and fifty-nine. Unlimited right to fire
Wang Weiyi also met an "old friend" in that very private room:
Foreign Minister of the German Empire Pilov!
Seeing that Pilov was staying here so mysteriously, Wang Weiyi was a little surprised, and then stepped forward and said, "Hello, Mr. Foreign Secretary. ”
Leonie didn't come in, but closed the door outside.
"Baron Alexon, please be seated." Pilov said very politely: "We heard that you went to Danzig and saved a few people there, right?" ”
Wang Weiyi smiled bitterly, although he knew that this matter would be exposed sooner or later, he didn't expect that even the foreign minister would know about it so soon.
"Please don't be careful, it's your private vacation time, and you're targeting the enemy, and we have nothing to do with it. Besides, I'm the Foreign Secretary, and I can't control what you do. Pilov's words relieved Wang Weiyi a lot.
It's just a little strange how does a foreign secretary know about these things?
"What you are doing in Danzig, the intelligence services do not know anything about it. I think you must be very strange, why do I know in advance? ”
Pilov's words made Wang Weiyi nod.
"Because the people you saved were all Bolsheviks" Pilov immediately solved the mystery in Wang Weiyi's heart: "And we have always had dealings with the Bolsheviks"
The Bolsheviks in Germany and Russia always maintained the closest contacts. There is a saying that could not be better: "The enemy of my enemy is my friend".
The German Empire conspired with the Bolshevik leaders against Tsar Nicholas II, the Entente powers of France, and Great Britain. At the last end, the end of the Romanov dynasty was the victory of Germany. with Lenin's takeover. Berlin supported the Bolsheviks and other revolutionary forces in Russia with marks, weapons and ammunition, thus contributing to the end of Tsarist rule.
There is nothing that can surprise Wang Weiyi.
"We are closely monitoring the situation in Russia and are actively helping the Bolsheviks. Although we strongly disagree with their doctrines, at least they can undermine Russia, or even withdraw Russia from the war. In front of Wang Weiyi, Pilov did not hide these at all:
"Because of this, everything you did in Vandis was quickly delivered to me, and it turned out that I was having a headache over one thing. When I saw the report sent earlier, my eyes lit up, and after asking for the permission of His Majesty the Emperor. In the name of Countess Léony, I invited you to Berlin."
It seems that there is a new task, and Wang Weiyi quickly made a judgment in his heart.
Sure enough, Pilov's words confirmed his judgment: "There was a man named Vladimir. Ilyich. Ulyanov's people, have you heard of him? ”
Wang Weiyi was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted. Isn't this Lenin?
He hesitated: "I think I've heard this name somewhere." ”
"He was the leader of the Russian opposition. Actively plotting to overthrow the tsar, of course, he is now in exile in Switzerland. ”
Wang Weiyi was taken aback, he didn't necessarily want to escort Lenin back to Russia, right? It's also incredible. He didn't like this Vladimir very much.
Fortunately, Pilov did not let this fear come true: "He is preparing to sneak back to Russia secretly, and of course, there is someone else in charge of this mission, and we will not let you go to Switzerland." This Vladimir made us a request for assistance from five million Reichsmarks. That's an astronomical sum. But after our analysis, it is considered that this huge Reichsmark. It is entirely possible to finance him to overthrow the tsar"
"In addition to weapons, Germany provided the Bolsheviks with a total of at least 26 million Reichsmarks" Xiao Ling quickly transmitted the information to Wang Weiyi: "Berlin supported the Russian Bolsheviks and other powerful forces with marks, weapons and ammunition, and thus contributed to the end of Tsarist rule."
"But the trouble now is that Vladimir has come up with the idea that the grant must be secretly shipped into Russia in the form of cash."
Pilov said that Wang Weiyi was a little surprised.
In this day and age, five million Reichsmarks is indeed an astronomical amount that drives everyone crazy, and that Vladimir actually wants all in cash?
"Baron Alexon, it's too hard." Pilov sighed: "The place he designated to be sent to, in addition to passing through the positions of the Russian army on the front line, also needs to pass through several obstacles. Not only cash, but also a lot of weapons, I really can't imagine how these things can be sent."
Wang Weiyi completely understood, so the German top decided to enable himself! No, it's Skeleton Commando enabled!
It's really a headache to think about, how to escort such a large amount of supplies through the Russian defense line?
"Baron Alexon, I think you have guessed that I am in charge of this matter, and His Majesty the Emperor and I are very anxious that you will take up this task and send over this batch of things that the Bolsheviks so desperately need." Pilov did just that: "It's dangerous, we'll help you when you get through the Russian positions, but it's up to you to get into the Russian power." Of course, you can turn down this mission, but I hope you will say yes, because I can't find a better fit for you."
"The fourth phase of the Soarer Plan begins, weapons escort base weapons support: aircraft status: standby"
Xiao Ling came with such an order at the first time.
Damn it! Wang Weiyi cursed in his heart, at this point, even if he didn't want to, he couldn't do it.
He forced a smile on his face: "I would be happy, Mr. Foreign Secretary." ”
"Great, I know you're going to accept the task." Pilov became excited: "Whatever assistance you need, I can meet you here." ”
"I need all three tanks I brought from Reims." Wang Weiyi thought for a moment: "This mission is very arduous, and the skeleton commandos will all be dispatched. At the same time, I will not report back to anyone on the way we carry out the task"
"Yes." Pilov readily agreed.
"On the mission, I will have unlimited right to fire, and I will kill anyone I think may be a danger to this operation, and I need a batch of Madsen machine guns, I have heard that Bulgaria ordered six hundred of these machine guns from Denmark, and as a result, they were all seized as they passed through the German border, and are now being used by the troops of His Majesty the Emperor."
"I will give you as much as you need, I have been authorized by His Majesty the Emperor to mobilize all the manpower and materials in the country. I can also give you the unlimited right to fire on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor, and even if you decide to kill me, I will greet the bullets with a smile on my face."
Listening to Wang Weiyi's request, Pilov did not hesitate.
The unlimited right to fire is something that Wang Weiyi cares about very much. Those Bolsheviks were not easy to deal with, and God knows what they would do.
When necessary, I can't manage that much. You have to take responsibility for the whole commando team!
Wang Weiyi also took advantage of this to become the first officer in the history of the German army to have unlimited firing rights!
"There is also aircraft support. I specified the request for Manfred. Feng. Richthofen's 2nd Hunting Squadron gave me air support"
"Yes, I know that Manfred is a good friend of yours, and this request was granted."
No matter what Wang Weiyi asked, Pilov agreed to it all, which also made Wang Weiyi feel a lot more relieved.
"When do I leave?" Wang Weiyi asked.
"Before you get here, General Galvetz of the Second Army has ordered the skeleton commandos to enter Berlin at once, and I think they will be there soon. When they arrive, your mission begins."
Wang Weiyi smiled, it seems that the other party has long thought that he will definitely accept this task, and asking for his opinion is just a formality.
"Mr. Foreign Secretary, what if I fail?" Wang Weiyi asked: "For example, I was captured, or I was killed in battle." ”
"Germany has never sent any Einsatzgruppen to support the Bolsheviks, these are private acts that you have not been asked for."
Pilov's words were not at all surprising to Wang Weiyi. Although Germany and Russia were at war, the news of their blatant support for the Bolsheviks would cause an uproar, especially in Germany.
Therefore, it is impossible for the German government to openly admit that they sent any commandos to deliver supplies to the Bolsheviks
"You don't blame me, do you, Baron Alexon?"
"I understand you, Mr. Foreign Secretary." Wang Weiyi's words revealed some helplessness: "These are my personal behaviors, well, I admit that while waiting for my teammates, the things I need can be prepared." And I'm going to have a good time walking around Berlin."
"I will ask Countess Léonne to accompany you." Pilov's face was relaxed: "Oh my God, with Countess Leonie with you, even I feel jealous, you will not forget this pleasant trip to Berlin." ”
The Countess walks around Berlin with her? Although it is happiness, but I don't know what the road is, Wang Weiyi always feels that there are some dangerous ingredients in it. God knows what kind of trap the Countess will dig for herself and wait for her to jump.
Woman that! Especially these powerful women, it's better to provoke less.
But the door was pushed open, and Countess Leonie walked in gracefully: "Baron Alexon, are you ready to go with me to see Berlin?" (To be continued.) )
