The Russian coup d'état has brought some after-the-tea conversation for many, but that's about it...... Because not long after the matter was over, the world had already put it behind it and focused on many more important things.

For Europe and the United States, this important thing is that Soviet Russia, which is entrenched in Eastern Europe, is born on the border conflict on the banks of the Yalu River for China.

This is not surprising, since the Russia of today is no longer the Russia of the past. Russia, which people fear, is the vast empire that once spanned Europe and Asia and had the largest continuous territory.

Whether it is the title of 'European Gendarme' or 'Steam Roller', you can see the world's awe and fear of this country, and the millions of gray cattle who are not afraid of death are quite poor in combat, but they are enough for no one to underestimate them...

But this once vast empire has now been destroyed not only by civil war, but also by almost two-thirds of its proud territory, and has become a purely European country, without the power it once was.

Coupled with the fact that the so-called Russian government fled from Europe after the defeat of the war, and even moved into the sphere of influence of the country that had seized two-thirds of its territory from them in order to flee from Europe, this naturally makes them even more visible. In the same way, a country that does not have the slightest strength will find it difficult to gain the respect of other countries...

If it were in the past, the news of a coup d'état in Russia and the killing of the government's brain would definitely be enough to make the world publicize it for a month. But now, it's only been two or three days of publicity. People are already attracted to other, fresher news.

Even the Anglo-American governments did not pay much attention to this, only disappointed in Pepelyaev's coup d'état, and then recognized the legitimacy of Pepelyaev's regime―――――― they did not know about the gold. Of course, it is impossible to imagine that China is actually leading this matter behind the scenes, and those powers who are anxious about the post-war economy and the situation in Eastern Europe still think that what happened to Kolchak is really a coup d'état.

Of course, if they knew about gold, I am afraid they would never think so. But unfortunately, due to the support of China, Soviet Russia cut off the connection between Denikin and Kolchak in time. In addition, Yan Shao's occupation of Siberia caused Kolchak to prematurely interrupt the trade channels with Britain and the United States, so that Kolchak had not purchased much arms from Britain and the United States. had to be 'self-reliant', so Britain and the United States were not aware of the gold at all, so it was naturally difficult to understand the truth behind this scene.

For them now, the role of the Provisional Government is probably that of the legitimate government of Russia. Calling on the Russians to oppose Soviet rule. Other than that, they didn't expect anything, so despite such a big incident, Anglo-American still didn't show much anger, just 'disappointed'.

Because, as said before, they just need the new Russian government to continue to stand on their side and call on the Russians against Soviet rule, that's all, and it doesn't matter to them who is the leader of this government ...

Of course. They don't care, but that doesn't mean others don't care...

――――――――――――――――――――

Because of one reason or another. Although Pepelyaev's regime came to power through a guò 'coup', after expressing some disappointment, governments recognized his legitimacy ―――――― as long as they were willing to continue to call on the Russian people against Soviet Russia, and the countries did not want to continue to use him as a banner against Soviet Russia, and to treat him as an apparent equal.

China, in particular, while acknowledging the status of the new government, welcomed the establishment of a government-in-exile in China, which was also appreciated by Britain and the United States.

However, unlike the recognition and support of the international community, there is a great deal of significance in Russia. First of all, Yudenich and Denikin, who were still fighting in Russia, took the lead in denouncing Pepelyaev after the coup d'état, and vowed that they would never recognize the legitimacy of the new regime.

It is not surprising that there are many Russians who are followed by this, after all, Kolchak has a high prestige in Russia. But what about Pepelyaev? In the past, he only existed as Kolchak's deputy, and even if he rose to the top because of many things, it didn't mean that he would be recognized by everyone, at least not many Russians would be willing to recognize him...

Pepelyaev was terrified by this, because he feared that Chinese would get rid of him because he had lost his usefulness―――――― and on the night of the coup, the cold-blooded execution of hundreds of people by the soldiers still frightens Pepelyaev.

But in fact, Yan Shao didn't care much about this at all, even if Katarina reported to him, Denikin and Yudenich announced that they would not recognize Pepelyaev, Yan Shao just nodded, said he knew, and then the matter was settled.

Because the reason why Yan Shao needed Pepelyaev at the beginning was entirely because he needed a guy from the former Russian government to stand up and cover up the fact that he was 'killing people and selling goods'. At that time, Pepelyaev, the prime minister of the provisional government, was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.

As for Pepelyaev's appeal or something, if this can be had, it is good, but if it is not, it seems that there is nothing to force. After all, Yan Shao's main purpose at that time was still for the gold, and everything else was secondary, even if Pepelyaev's appeal was a little weak, Yan Shao couldn't blame Pepelyaev's head, didn't he? What's more, a coup d'état or something, it was originally an immoral thing, not to mention that in the propaganda of the outside world, Pepelyaev also killed Kolchak's entire family, and almost everyone on the train except for his henchmen―――――― Yan Shao once promised Pepelyaev that he could keep Kolchak's wife Sophia and his son alive, but this is also conditional, that is, they must disappear in front of the public for ten to twenty years, otherwise they will be allowed to go out and shout. Let everyone know that the real culprit behind this coup is Yan Shao, and the purpose is for hundreds of tons of gold on the train, and his real purpose is actually to kill people and steal goods. Then Yan Shao might as well simply kill everyone in the entire train, including Pepelyaev, and then destroy the corpses...

It's so much more profitable...

As for why it is ten or twenty years, and not a lifetime ...

As mentioned earlier, ten or twenty years later, Yan Shao is confident that China will no longer fear any country, and even if it is known that he killed Kolchak and swallowed his more than 400 tons of gold. What can those people do with him?

What's more, Yan Shao was unwilling to bully orphans and widows, killed other people's husbands and fathers, and finally didn't even let go of his wife and daughter......... If it's necessary. Of course, Yan Shao will not be kind to women, but when it is not necessary, Yan Shao is really unwilling to do so...

Now that there is no need, there is naturally no need to kill them all.

What's more, Yan Shao has already promised Pepelyaev. Usually. Yan Shao will never break his word.

――――――――――――――――――――――

"This action is very smooth, and it also depends on everyone's efforts..."

In the conference room, having said that, Yan Shao actually looked at Katarina.

It should be said that the reason why the whole operation was so smooth was that there were two people who took the most credit, one was Cai Yi, because the operation was carried out under his leadership, and the other was Katarina. Because the rebellion against Pepelyaev and others was led by the Special Affairs Bureau.

Without the cooperation of these two parties, this plan would have been successful. It was just a successful killing...

Duan Qirui, of course, knew that they really didn't have much effect on this matter, so they just smiled and didn't say anything. Only Caterina looked at Yan Shao.

"Anyway, this is indeed something to celebrate..."Taking advantage of the relatively good atmosphere, Li Liang stood up and said. Let's go celebrate later, we have made more than 100 million pounds at a time, and this time the treasury is rich..."

Sadly, although China's national strength has been thriving over the years, and it is not as unlucky as Britain and France, its treasury is empty.

No way, the fiscal revenue has indeed risen a lot in the past two years, but the problem is that the expenditure has also increased, even when the war has ended. Often, the money is collected here, and it has already been taken out and used there, and even the treasury does not need to be entered, and only a handover is needed.

Now that so much gold has been harvested in one go, many people are naturally overjoyed.

Yan Shao even felt that he could directly consider the possibility of directly taking a step from the lame standard system to the gold standard―――――― with so much gold in his hands, it was enough to support Yan Shao to implement such a system.

But thinking about it, Yan Shao felt that he couldn't be so hasty, after all, changing the monetary system was a very important thing. In fact, if it is feasible, Yan Shao is willing to do it in one step and directly turn it into credit currency, using the country's credit as currency. But that would be a bit too far ahead of the curve, so the gold standard was intended to compensate for some of the shortcomings of the lame standard, and the amount of new gold would be enough for the country to implement such a monetary system.

However, at the moment, Yan Shao was more concerned about another matter, so after hearing the mention, Yan Shao nodded. "Okay, you guys go first, I have something to talk to Director Carter..."

"You stay for a while, I have something I want to discuss with you..."

Seeing that Yan Shao had something to discuss with Katarina, the others nodded, and withdrew directly from the room without asking too much, leaving Yan Shao and Katarina in the room. And looking at Yan Shao, Katarina's face also showed a strange expression, and it was not clear what Yan Shao wanted to do by leaving her...

After thinking about it for a while, perhaps thinking of something, Katerina's pink face turned even redder, and she couldn't help but cover her chest with her hands, and she stepped back slightly.

Seeing him like this, Yan Shao couldn't help but smile bitterly. "Please, what are you doing here, I'm going to discuss business with you..."Hearing Yan Shao say this, seeing that Yan Shao was indeed going to discuss business, Katarina's face turned red again, knowing that she had misunderstood Yan Shao, but she complained. Who told you to always do strange things..."

It's no wonder that Caterina is like this, in the past, as soon as there was something happy about the birth. Yan Shao couldn't help but pounce on them to 'celebrate', sometimes even regardless of the occasion and place, for a long time. Naturally, Katerina and the others were careful.

Yan Shao felt deeply hurt by Katerina's distrust of him, but now was not the time to discuss this, he just spoke. "This time there are indeed a lot of benefits, but it also gave me a lot of ideas..."

Saying this, Yan Shao looked at Katarina. "You think. How about we set up a special army to do similar black work? ”

This incident gave Yan Shao some enlightenment.

Special forces...

Special forces. It refers to a unit specially formed by a state or group to carry out special tasks within the military organization in order to achieve specific political, economic, and military goals, and has the characteristics of flexible establishment, capable personnel, excellent equipment, fast mobility, well-trained, and strong combat effectiveness.

Special forces first appeared during World War II. In the Polish campaign on September 1, 1939, Germany used a special forces called the 'Brandenburg' unit as the spearhead of the German attack on Poland, wearing enemy uniforms to carry out infiltration and sabotage activities. Later such units also took part in the war against the Soviet Union. During the North African campaign. The British formed the SAS Special Air Service Regiment to carry out sabotage operations behind enemy lines. The special forces were officially born.

In later generations, the special forces were almost touted to the point of nearing mythology, as if they could do anything from heaven to earth―――――― although it seems that this is the case, at least quite a few of the special forces will fly planes.

All in all, the special forces are definitely not as powerful as they are touted, but if you underestimate them because of this, then you will definitely suffer in the end.

Yan Shao, as a person in later generations, naturally experienced such a stage. It is also clear how powerful the special forces are. Before, it was because there was no technology, and there were no planes that could be used by special forces. But now...

Through this incident, Yan Shao had an idea, that is, to form a special force for sabotage behind enemy lines.

There are many enemies that China may face in the future, but five of them are the most likely to lead to conflict.

One is Soviet Russia, the country behind the Ural Mountains. One is Japan, the one across the Yalu River, and the other three are Britain in Burma, France in French Indochina, and the United States in the Philippines.

The first one is very easy to explain, Yan Shao cut off a lot of Russia's territory this time, in the eyes of Soviet Russia, those territories are theirs, and Soviet Russia will definitely not give up, so the possibility of war between the two countries is really not small. But to be honest, Yan Shao felt that among the five countries, the possibility of a war between China and Soviet Russia was the least.

Yes, it is true that the two countries do not like each other, but they also have deep concerns about each other, which makes it impossible for them to act recklessly. Similarly, no matter how he evaluates it, Yan Shao doesn't think that the leaders of Soviet Russia will be unwise, and when there is a group of capitalist countries eyeing him behind them, they will do something to themselves, the only country that will be able to support him―――――― if they are really unwise to this point, then there is no need for Yan Shao to do anything, they are afraid that they have collapsed.

Japan is even simpler, the two countries are feuding, and they have to fight a dozen if they have nothing to do, not to mention that now the two countries are still fighting on the Yalu River.

In the case of Britain and France, China's territory is now very large. If you want to continue to expand your sphere of influence, it is absolutely impossible to continue to expand to Europe, and other directions have become the territory of Britain and France after the end of the European war, especially in Southeast Asia in the south, which was originally China's traditional sphere of influence, but now it has become a colony of European powers, many countries, and now only one Thailand is still surviving in the cracks...

And under such a special shape, Yan Shao is most likely to expand in Southeast Asia.

Therefore, it is almost inevitable that there will be a conflict with Britain, France and the United States...

And taking into account the special geographical conditions and environment of Southeast Asia, the role that a special forces can play can be fully imagined...

At least definitely much better than normal troops...

――――――――――――――――――――

"Special forces?" After listening to Yan Shao's narration, Caterina frowned slightly. "Isn't the current Einsatzgruppen enough?" The action team in Katarina's mouth refers to the exclusive armament of the Special Affairs Bureau, and its combat effectiveness is also very good, especially good at urban warfare, after all, the place where they are active the most is the city.

In this westward expansion strategy, the task force can be said to have played a big role, and it is no wonder that Caterina is so curious.

However, hearing her words, Yan Shao smiled and patted her cheek.

"Of course, the combat effectiveness of the action team is good, but they are not soldiers after all, and they can't be compared with soldiers in many places, and the troops I want to form are definitely not ordinary troops, whether it is urban warfare or other battlefields, it can be said that it is a group of troops dedicated to killing..."

Speaking of this, thinking of those very famous special forces in later generations, Yan Shao also felt a little enthusiastic.

"To be honest, there are actually many units with strong combat effectiveness in China today, but those troops are only good at frontal attack. When it comes to frontal battles, I'm confident in them, but the rest of the battles are ......... In particular, infiltration operations are not what they are good at, so I hope to form a special force to come out..."

In Yan Shao's conception, they may not be able to go to the sky and the earth like those troops in later generations, but they will become their foundation, and they are also the predecessors of all special forces in this world. (To be continued......)
