In Berlin, the capital of Prussia, Wilhelm I and the important ministers of the Prussian kingdom gathered early in the morning. The telegrams from the Russian front forced them to get up early and have no time to eat breakfast. Everyone was stunned by the telegram from the front, the Chinese had actually targeted the wealth of the Russian royal family and were preparing to grab it. This is not good news for the Kingdom of Prussia!

"The wealth of the Russian royal family, the wealth worth a billion gold marks, was actually known in advance by the Chinese, why didn't our intelligence agencies know anything about it? Those intelligence officials should all be pulled out and shot! "Frederick. Crown Prince William roared viciously. As soon as he thought that the huge wealth was about to fall into the hands of the Chinese, perhaps it had already fallen into the hands of the Chinese, his whole person was about to be ignited by the fire of jealousy in his heart. The Kingdom of Prussia was in desperate need of those riches.

Everyone in the meeting did not look good on their faces. If they had known the location of the Russian royal treasury, they might have done it earlier. In this case, where will there be anything to do with the Chinese! However, it's too late now.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think? Generals at the front, still waiting for us to make a decision! "William I looked at the ministers.

"Your Majesty, a wealth worth a billion gold marks, we must not give up. If we can seize this wealth, then we will have all the funds needed for our naval construction plan! Count Moltke was the first to give his opinion. The Chinese Navy's most advanced 'Eastern Han class' battleship cost only 12 million Chinese yuan. When converted into gold marks, it is only six million gold marks. Right now. With Britain on the verge of losing the war, the pound will also be turned into waste paper. When converting, countries no longer use the pound sterling as a unit of conversion.

If this billion-dollar gold mark fortune can be obtained. Then, Russia will have enough money to build advanced warships and develop a strong navy. One billion gold marks is undoubtedly equal to more than 100 advanced 'Eastern Han class' battleships!

As soon as he said this, even William I couldn't help but breathe heavily. Count Moltke's plan for the development of the navy had been submitted, but the Kingdom of Prussia did not have enough funds to implement it. The wealth of the Russian royal family, which has suddenly appeared now, is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity! If you can seize these riches, then. The finances of the Kingdom of Prussia would not have been so bad.

"Your Majesty, this wealth is important to us. However, if we directly grab this wealth with the Chinese, I am afraid that this will directly lead to the outbreak of war! "Foreign Secretary Albrech. Feng. Ron was a little worried. The clashes that took place in Stupino, south of Moscow, were nothing more than a skirmish. However, if a large army were to be sent to rob the Chinese of the wealth of the Russian imperial family, it would undoubtedly be a large-scale war. When the time comes, the Chinese Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia will be completely torn apart. And was it possible for the Kingdom of Prussia to win?

Foreign Secretary Albrech. Feng. Ron's words made everyone's brows furrow. Although they don't want to admit it. But they had to take into account that this was indeed a reality factor. The wealth of a billion gold marks is very important, but if it leads to a war with the Chinese Empire, it will not be cost-effective. If you lose the war. It will cost the Kingdom of Prussia dearly.

"Are we watching the Chinese take away that wealth? The Chinese Empire was already stronger than us. Once they get that wealth, they will become even stronger. That's for us. It will be a nightmare! "Frederick. Crown Prince William said dissatisfied.

Indeed, the power of the Chinese Empire has now greatly surpassed that of the Kingdom of Prussia. If you add to this the wealth plundered from the Russians, the Chinese Empire will grow faster and faster. When the time comes. It was even more difficult for the Kingdom of Prussia to catch up with the Chinese Empire. Perhaps, in the next war, the Kingdom of Prussia will still be a crushing defeat.

"Prime Minister, what is your opinion?" William I asked.

Otto. Feng. Prime Minister Bismarck frowned, and then said: "This wealth is very important to the Kingdom of Prussia, and whether we can achieve rapid development depends on this wealth." Even if we can't get this wealth, we definitely can't let it fall into the hands of the Chinese. Otherwise, it would have been a disaster for the Kingdom of Prussia! ”

William I nodded: "But what if a war breaks out between us and the Chinese Empire because of this?" ”

It is clear that Wilhelm I did not make up his mind, and he did not think that a war with the Chinese Empire would do the Kingdom of Prussia any good now. If not, the Kingdom of Prussia will lose completely.

"Your Majesty, we must find a way to fight for those riches without affecting our relations with the Chinese! Only in this way can you have the best of both worlds! "Otto. Feng. Prime Minister Bismarck continued.

At this moment, an officer anxiously walked in and handed the telegram to Count Moltke.

"Ralke. Feng. General Sosta telegraphed that the Russian army had been defeated. The firepower of the Chinese is very strong, and the Russian army has suffered heavy losses. If there is no support, it is almost impossible to regain those treasures by relying on the strength of the Russian army alone! Count Moltke's face was stern.

"Damn Chinese, incompetent Russians!" Frederick. Crown Prince William couldn't help but curse secretly.

"Gentlemen, we are running out of time, we must make a decision before the Russians collapse!" William I said.

"Your Majesty, perhaps we can put our army in Russian uniforms and go into battle. Even if the Chinese pursue it, as long as we firmly deny it, they have no way to take us without exact evidence! "said the Chief of the General Staff of the Prussian Army, Colonel-General Reihel.

"Good way, this is a good way, in this way, we can launch an attack on the Chinese!" Frederick. Crown Prince Wilhelm shouted excitedly, he seemed to have seen the scene of the Prussian Army defeating the Chinese Army and reclaiming all those riches. With that wealth, the Kingdom of Prussia would grow even more rapidly. Perhaps, they will soon have the strength to challenge the Chinese Empire.

Wilhelm I frowned, and let the Prussian soldiers fight in Russian uniforms, which is undoubtedly a shame for the Prussian kingdom!

"Your Majesty, this is our only chance, only in this way can we take back those treasures!" Count Moltke also said.

"Well, let's just do it according to this plan! We must not let the Chinese get those treasures! "Wilhelm I made up his mind.

Although the honor of the Kingdom of Prussia was important, the treasures were even more important. If those treasures can be obtained, the financial crisis of the Kingdom of Prussia will be completely resolved, and the Kingdom of Prussia will be able to develop both the navy and the army, and in the near future, it will be able to challenge the Chinese Empire.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The Chief of the General Staff, Colonel-General Reihel, and the Deputy Chief of the General Staff, Count Moltke, nodded.

The Prussian Army quickly sprang into action, and after receiving an order from the General Staff, Lark . Feng. Lieutenant General Sosta immediately ordered the army to change into the clothing of Russian* soldiers, and then joined the attack on the Imperial cavalry.

Although, changing into a Russian* military uniform to fight, many Prussian troops were a little dissatisfied. However, the well-trained Prussian Army quickly accepted this fact. They are soldiers, and it is their duty to obey orders.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The heavy artillery of the Prussian Army began to bombard the lines of the Imperial cavalry, and many cannons of more than 100 mm caliber joined the shelling. The Prussian army's attack caused many casualties to the Imperial cavalry. The morale of the Russian army, which was originally low and about to collapse, began to rise after the Prussian Army joined in, and the pressure on the Imperial cavalry became more and more intense.

"Damn, did Lao Maozi's heavy artillery join in?" Seeing that his position was shrouded in gunsmoke, Major General Song Xinyu, commander of the 3rd Cavalry Army, couldn't help but curse secretly.

"What happened to the gold and silver treasures? How long will it take to get all of them gone? Major General Chung Wenquan, commander of the 4th Cavalry Corps, also asked. Their task was to buy more time for the transfer of gold and silver treasures. If the gold and silver treasures have not been transferred, then they will have to continue to be nailed here.

Soon, they got a reply. Under the organization of Brigadier General Niu Zhiyang, a large amount of gold and silver treasures were being shipped to Sest. By now, most of the treasure has been removed, leaving only a small part. Major General Niu Zhiyang, I hope they can hold out for another hour.

In order to carry away all the gold and silver treasures, the Imperial cavalry could only hold their positions in the face of enemy fire.

Time passed minute by minute, and at 8:25 in the morning, Major General Niu Zhiyang watched the last cart of gold being transported away, and he immediately sent a message to the troops on the front line.

Suddenly, the Imperial cavalry began to retreat from the line of defense and retreated to Sester. In fending off the Russians and Prussians, the Imperial cavalry had already paid a great price. However, the price is well worth it compared to the gains.

The Chinese want to retreat, the Russians and Prussians, of course, will not agree, they are in hot pursuit.

When the Russians and Prussians pursued to a distance of less than five kilometers from Sester, the battleships of the 5th Fleet of the Imperial Navy, anchored in the Gulf of Finland, began to bombard. (To be continued......)
