In any case, since he has already decided to be a villain, Pepelyaev will naturally not look ahead, otherwise he will not be able to achieve such a position as prime minister―――――― even if it is just the prime minister of a government in exile.

At the same time, in the office not far away, Kolchak obviously didn't expect that the old guy he trusted was actually calculating himself not far from him.

Perhaps for Kolchak, the ease of trusting others was the biggest shortcoming of his life.

In the original history, because of the betrayal of the Czech Legion, he fell into the hands of Soviet Russia, and was killed by Soviet Russia along with Pepelyaev. And in this era, it was not the Czech legion that betrayed him, but the partner who once died with him ...

――――――――――――――――――――

Even though he has been an archon for a while, Kolchak still retains many of the true colors of the military period, and he is also vigorous in doing things. Now that he has decided to leave, Kolchak will naturally not hesitate to continue to stay.

So soon Kolchak took his wife and children and drove in the direction of Vladivostok on a train full of gold.

Naturally, in order to ensure safety, in addition to Gold and Kolchak and others and their families, there were also a group of Kolchak's guards on this train.

Almost every one of these people has a submachine gun in his hand, and coupled with the relatively strict military discipline, it can be called an elite army.

This is also the most combat-effective unit in Kolchak's hands, and it is also his biggest hole card.

As for those weapons ...

That's right. The White troops entering Siberia were required to surrender their weapons, but according to the agreement between the National Government and Kolchak, Kolchak's guards could continue to wear weapons.

It's also because of this relationship. Before entering Yekaterinburg, Kolchak concentrated all the submachine guns in the White Army and handed them over to his own guards...

This hand is naturally absolute in the eyes of many Russians, but it is expected by Yan Shao and Cai Yi. After all, this kind of thing is not difficult to guess, although there is no such thing in the history of China, but there are still some similar things.

Yan Shao is not worried about this. I don't think it's going to be a hindrance.

Because he didn't plan to come hard, but to get the gold on the train without bloodshed. And. Even if the plan really fails because of an accident, then it will be hard to hit, anyway, in that kind of place in Siberia. It is normal for a person not to have one within a radius of a hundred miles. This time, Yan Shao has also signaled the people of the Ministry of Communications to make some deliberate arrangements, which is enough to ensure that there will be no accidents.

――――――――――――――――――――

In the majestic presidential palace, Yan Shao was standing in his office, looking at a map of the Ural Province and several other provinces in Siberia hanging on the wall. Not only the lines of the Trans-Siberian Railway are delineated in detail, but also the locations of almost all the towns on it.

Behind Yan Shao, there are almost all the high-level officials of the State and Social Government, including Jiang Baili, Feng Guozhang, Li Liang, Xu Shichang, and Duan Qirui.

Although Yan Shao's entire attention was on the map, standing on Yan Shao's back, Duan Qirui and the others didn't dare to breathe.

I don't know how long it took. Yan Shao, who had been looking at the map on the wall, suddenly spoke. "When will that Pepelyaev probably do it..."

Hearing Yan Shao speak, Duan Qirui and the others did not answer. Instead, he looked at Caterina on the side.

At this time, Caterina was wearing a black dress that could set off her figure, and her plump figure made the suit look a little tight, and it also made her figure look delicate and clear. However, they absolutely didn't dare to look at these Duan Qirui, let alone show any special expressions, as for why―――――― in ancient times, if a courtier made a lustful expression to the queen, what do you think he would do, and what would the emperor next to him think?

As for why they watched Katerina...

Caterina is in charge of intelligence, so naturally they want to see her...

After hearing Yan Shao's question, Caterina hurriedly replied.

"According to the plan we told Pepelyaev, he will start at one o'clock in the morning tomorrow at a position less than 100 kilometers from Achinsk, and the Ministry of Transport has already arranged for this, and when they and the people we arranged to do it, there will definitely be no second train within a radius of 100 kilometers."

"By the dawn of the next day, when the whole world knew about it, all they knew was that Pepelyaev, the prime minister of the current interim government, had staged a coup d'état and killed Kolchak in the coup d'état, and that's it..."

Hearing Caterina say this, Yan Shao nodded with satisfaction at first, and then continued to ask. "And what about the gold?"

"We have placed a large number of troops near the place of the incident, so that we can make sure that nothing happens, and when the matter is over, these troops will carry all the gold from the train to the trucks they are driving, and then transport it to Achinsk by guò trucks, where all the gold will be secretly loaded into the trucks, and in the end no one will find the gold, unless it is Pepelyaev who voluntarily reveals it..."

"It's okay to take the initiative to disclose." Yan Shao turned around and looked at Katarina, Xu Shichang and the others. "The key is time, as long as we are given 10 years, even if the matter is leaked, it doesn't matter if the British and Americans know that we did it, because they can't do anything about us, but if we leak it now..."

"This can be assured..."Hearing Yan Shao's worry, Caterina immediately said. We will do this very well, and there will never be the slightest mistake, even if there are really people who can't bear to be lonely. If we want to leak the matter, we will also shut him up 'forever', and we can definitely guarantee that it will be within 10 years. There won't be anything about gold going to be revealed..."

Hearing Caterina say this, Yan Shao smiled slightly, he still trusted Caterina, so he just turned around and looked at the map behind him. "Then we just have to wait for the good news from over there..."

The others also followed Yan Shao and looked at the map on the wall, to be exact, the location of the small red dot not far from Achinsk.

What is represented there is not only more than 400 tons of gold worth 100 million pounds, but also a heavy event.

――――――――――――――――――――

On the Siberian Railway. Kolchak's train was still moving. In a carriage in the front row, Kolchak and his wife and children were playing inside.

Maybe it's because you don't have to worry about war anymore. Kolchak's face was a little more smiling. And this smile also made Kolchak's wife very happy, after all, her husband has always been sad, and any wife who loves her husband would not want to see such a scene.

As for the evacuation of Ufa, she was equally in favor of it.

For her. The state or something may still have some meaning. But obviously your own family is more important. She was absolutely unwilling to put her family in a dangerous place, and the news of the fall of Ufa not long ago proved his opinion...

"By the way, my dear, what are we going to do when we get to Vladivostok?"

Patting the child who was already asleep, Kolchak's wife asked with some confusion.

"I'm thinking about it too—" Frowning slightly, Kolchak put down the newspaper in his hand. The newspaper had recently been purchased in a passing town, and it was mainly devoted to recent events in Siberia.

At the beginning of the Chinese government's occupation of Siberia. The Russians, who stayed on this land, naturally reacted violently. But after a long time, after a year, it seems that this is the case. No way, who said that Russia was in a state of turmoil at this time, and China was not like the original Tsarist Russia, which had to levy a lot of taxes, and was much stronger than Russia in all aspects.

Of course, this is definitely not the reason why they will recognize Chinese rule, but more importantly their fear of Soviet Russia.

It is unimaginable that the capitalist world will be hostile to Soviet Russia, and it will probably be the working class and the peasant class that will be willing to lean towards Soviet Russia. However, in the past, Siberia was no different from a colony for Russia, and what was implemented here was a policy of plundering the colonies, and as for the factories, there were basically few of them, so it was naturally difficult for Siberia, which was already sparsely populated, to have any working class.

As for the peasant class? With the exception of a few places, is Siberia a good place to grow crops? Besides, being a farmer in Russia is not a good job...

In the absence of these two classes, the influence of Soviet Russia in Siberia was naturally much weaker than in Eastern Europe. Even if it were not for the exile of Stalin and others in Siberia, the influence might have been even less.

Since there were fewer working and peasant classes, there were naturally fewer people who might support Soviet Russia. The rest are people who are more afraid of Soviet Russia, for them, it is better to be ruled by the Chinese than to be ruled by Soviet Russia, the ideology is the same, not to mention that the Chinese are not bad to them.

Of course, the most important thing is that as the situation in Eastern Europe is getting worse and worse, the shape of Soviet Russia's unification of Eastern Europe is becoming more and more obvious. In such a situation, they naturally do not want to make trouble, because even if they can drive away the Chinese, they will definitely not be able to hold Siberia under the aggression of Soviet Russia, not to mention that they simply do not have that ability...

By the way, Siberia is, after all, a newly occupied place, so the policy pursued by the Communist government here is to control the press, all newspapers must have government personnel stationed in them, and review upcoming press releases, etc...

Unlike the more relaxed environment in China, the environment here is very harsh, so the articles published by those newspapers are basically some news that praises the merits of the national government.

This did not help the rule of the Communist government in Siberia for the time being, but at least it did not help. It's better than letting the news media report on it...

However, in addition to the part of singing the praises of virtue, the part about the international form is still somewhat useful. And that's what Kolchak looked at...

There was a lot of news in the newspapers, but the main one was the news of the civil war in Soviet Russia.

For example, the fall of Ufa and the impact it could have, among other things, there was also the fighting elsewhere in Eastern Europe. It's just that what was published above is not good news for Kolchak, Denikin in South Russia is retreating, and Yudenich in the north has also retreated from Petrograd and is retreating in a further direction...

There was once a huge encirclement and suppression operation. It's not over yet, but it's almost there. And the Soviet Russian regime, which was born in its heart, finally gained a firm foothold in the repeated encirclement and suppression of the intervention army and the White army...

"Let's see what happens..."

At least for this stage. Kolchak's idea was relatively simple, that is, to withdraw to Vladivostok as soon as possible, and then leave China, as for where to go ...

For now. There is definitely no way to go to South Russia. So the best target is obviously only the United States―――――― as a Russian soldier, Kolchak is very disgusted with Japan, naturally, so is China, but the current situation makes Kolchak have to compromise...

――――――――――――――――――――

Listening to Kolchak's words, Kolchak's wife nodded and did not say anything more. Although European women are obviously much more independent than those in the East, the status of European women at this time is obviously not comparable to that of later generations. Even if they were a little more independent, it was because they replaced many of the jobs of men during the European war.

It's obvious, though. Kolchak's wife had absolutely no such opportunity. And for her, Kolchak is the pillar of the family...

The rest of the time, the two of them spent the rest of the day in silence, and soon, it was getting dark. Seeing that it was already starting to get dark, Kolchak got up from his seat. "Okay, you guys take a rest first, I'll go out..."

"Yes." Hearing Kolchak say this, his wife nodded meekly, and then patted his son, who had already gotten up and was reading by the light―――――― naturally, he was definitely not reading his school textbook, but a novel...

It should be noted that if Kolchak had seen the name of the author of the book, he would never have let his son read the book, because the book was written by Yan Shao...

After leaving the carriage, Kolchak soon came to another carriage where Pepelyaev was located, where Pepelyaev and the others were talking unknowingly.

Directly pulled open the carriage, and Kolchak walked in. Seeing Kolchak coming, I don't know why, the atmosphere in the carriage suddenly became cold, and Pepelyaev's expression was even more weird.

However, Kolchak did not notice this at this time, he just found an empty seat in the carriage and sat down, and then spoke to the others. "What were you guys talking about? It looks like it's very lively..."

"Nothing," one of them smiled a little reluctantly.

Looking at him, Kolchak looked a little strange, but soon Pepelyaev on the side diverted the topic.

"We were just talking about the Czech Legion," said Pepelyaev, pursing his lips. As for those people, how do we deal with them, after all, it is impossible for us to continue the war with Soviet Russia, in other words, it seems that there is no need to continue to keep them..."

"yes." The other man spoke. "Not long ago, the news came that the Czechs seem to want to return to their own country..."

Hearing these words, Kolchak was a little silent, although in history he died at the hands of the Czech Legion―――――― at least one of them.

But nowadays, the Czech Legion is doing a good job, so although he doesn't have a good impression of those people, at least he doesn't have a bad feeling.

And Pepelyaev's words just now also seemed to resonate with him, because as he said, now that there is no war, it seems that there is no need to continue to force them.

So after thinking about it for a while, Kolchak nodded. "Indeed, it seems that it will be difficult for us to have any conflict with Soviet Russia in the future, even if there is a real chance to destroy Soviet Russia in the future, I believe it will definitely not be in the near future, in this case, not only is it not necessary to continue to keep the Czech Legion, but it will waste our precious funds that are not particularly rich, then..."

Just when Kolchak was going to make a decision about where the people of the Czech Legion would come and go. The body of the train shook suddenly, followed by the sound of sudden braking on the train. Under this tremor, Kolchak almost all of them did not sit still, and the people in the room suddenly fell to pieces, and some of the things that were placed in the train fell everywhere.

Fortunately, this kind of train is often encountered, so except for some plates and other things on the train, the rest is basically okay even if it falls.

But when such a big thing happened suddenly, the people on the train naturally couldn't sleep, and the awake ones also walked out of the carriage one after another, wanting to see the situation.

At the same time, looking at Kolchak, who was gradually standing up, Pepelyaev and others, who were still discussing the Czech Legion, also had a strange light in their eyes. (To be continued......)
