505 miscalculations

Learvin had never been more irritable than she was now, she had faced many difficult opponents before, and even wandered on the brink of death more than once, but she always managed to turn danger into victory. However, since meeting a certain immortal, Learvin has been in trouble, and every time, no matter how hard she tries, the final result is always not in her favor.

A certain immortal was like a mountain in front of her, making it impossible for her to overcome. This sense of powerlessness and frustration made Learvine quite unhappy, and it inspired her to challenge someone like a moth to a fire again and again.

This time the challenge had begun, but to Learvin's dismay, she didn't have any clues, even though she knew that a certain immortal was in Irkuts and was coming for gold, but she couldn't find anyone's clues.

Learwin felt very irritable and frenzied, she felt that a certain immortal was like an invisible man, lurking around her all the time, secretly arranging a series of conspiracies. But there was nothing she could do about it, she could only yell at those waste-like subordinates again and again:

"Andrey. There's no way Petrovich can't make any moves, I know his purpose is gold, and he's going to make a move...... And now I just need you to keep your eyes open and find a clue...... I know that bastard, he must be setting up something in the dark! ”

The MI6 agents in Irkutsk looked at Lilvin one by one with trepidation, and in their opinion, their superiors either came early, or their endocrine was completely out of balance, or they were completely insane.

Because in the past few days, they have turned Irkutsk upside down, and they have not found anything unusual at all. But the crazy superior repeatedly asked them to repeat the tedious work. They can't stand it anymore!

"Could you be mistaken? Maybe Andrey. Petrovich did not come at all. Maybe he's secretly planning a conspiracy in the three Baltic states......"

"Shut up!" Learwin roared. She roared like a hair dryer, "I don't want to listen to such nonsense, I've told you countless times about this problem, and here he is!" He's in Irkutsk! I can feel that bastard laughing at your incompetence! ”

After scolding the goods, Li Erwen was not "happy" and shouted: "Now please tell me, what information have you gotten these days!" ”

The spies looked unconvinced, but who made Learvin's rank high? As M's appointed commissioner for Russia, she has the authority to decide on MI6's Russian station. Even the power of life and death.

The spies could only swallow their anger and replied: "The French and Japanese have been very active lately, frequently visiting the offices and residences of Semenov and Capper, and even colluding with many middle-ranking officers of the White Army, and their behavior is quite suspicious. ”

Learvan had no interest in the actions of the Japanese and the French, and she had long known what they wanted to do, and it was nothing more than an attempt to seize words by force. And such behavior seems to Learwin to be naΓ―ve and ridiculous, could it be that these two families have been kicked in the brains by donkeys, and really think that with their little strength, they can swallow gold alone?

Anyway, Learwin was not optimistic about them at all, and scoffed at their ridiculous actions, "What else? Are there any other anomalies? ”

Spies, you look at me, I'll look at you. No one spoke, not that there were no other anomalies. Rather, other anomalies have nothing to do with Irkutsk and gold. For example, the Russians hooked up with the Estonians, and the Germans, who were still dying, refused to fully agree to the harsh terms of peace.

Of course, this QiΔ“ Li Erwen is not interested, she is only interested in a certain immortal, and she only wants to defeat a certain immortal once, so she is a little crazy.

Until one of the spies was really tired of Liervin's actions and reminded: "Please pay attention, the Russians have been acting very unusually lately, there is evidence that they have reached some kind of agreement with the Estonian government, and we must beware of changes in the three Baltic states......"

Before the spy could finish his sentence, an urgent telegram was placed on Liervin's desk, which was an urgent telegram from M:

"According to reliable sources, the Bolsheviks have concluded a memorandum of understanding with Estonia, in which the two countries will declare mutual respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity, and will carry out extensive and in-depth cooperation on issues of peace on the Baltic coast!"

Lierwin's brows furrowed, if the information on this telegram is true, then it shows that Estonia has reached an agreement with Russia, and the alliance between the three Baltic states has been disintegrated!

"Stupid Estonians, you are doing death!" Learwin scolded indignantly.

"Ms. M asks you to immediately carry out an analysis and investigation at this time, and I would like you to make a detailed assessment report as much as possible. We hope you will do your best to preside over the work in Tallinn! ”

The spies at the Irkutsk station were thrilled by the news, and it was clear that the she-tyrannosaurus had to leave Irkutsk, and they finally had to endure this grumpy stinky woman, and they were finally relieved.

But the wretched creatures were not happy for five seconds, and at once they fell again from heaven to hell, for Liervin coldly commanded: "Reply to Ms. M. that I will do my best to complete the assessment report, but the work of Irkutsk is much more important than that of Estonia and the Baltic states, and I must remain in Irkutsk to preside over it!" ”

The spies were stunned, they could barely believe their ears, what did they hear? The crazy woman here dares to refuse to accept M's instructions, and still has to do her own thing, I'll her, is she crazy?

As the boss of MI6, M's power is unimaginable, and no one has ever dared to say no to M so directly. For a time the spies in Irkutsk thought that Lilvin was finished, and I was afraid that when this telegram was sent to M's desk, it would be time for someone to leave class.

As soon as they thought of this, the spies' mood began to change again, and they immediately sent a telegram of Lierwin's reply to the telegraph room, and especially emphasized to the dispatcher that this one should be sent first, and it seemed that they wished that Lierwin would be finished immediately.

Just as the spies scratched their ears and cheeks and waited for Learvin's instructions to get out of class. The accident happened again. M didn't even sweep Learvin out of the house. Instead, she agreed to Learvin's request, and although from the telegram, M agreed very reluctantly, but she did agree!

"How is this possible?"

The spies in Irkutsk were so mad that they couldn't believe it was true, and even sent another telegram to M behind Liervin's back, trying to make sure if M was mistaken.

It was clear that M could not be mistaken, and she was indeed very dissatisfied with Learvin's reply. But she felt that Liervin still had a level, and it was impossible for her not to know what the Estonian problem meant, and that she still insisted on staying in Irkutsk in this situation, which only showed that she thought it would be more meaningful to stay in Irkutsk.

"Leave the question of the gold of Irkutsk to Liervin! I believe she will give me a satisfactory answer. "Now that we move on to the question of Estonia, is there any evidence that the Estonians have yielded to the Bolsheviks?" ”

A middle-aged man wearing small round glasses replied respectfully: "Not yet, according to my intelligence, the Estonian government is still controlled by the Germans, and they are not in the same position as the Bolsheviks, so it is impossible for them to throw themselves into the arms of the Bolsheviks." ”

"Nor under great military pressure?" M asked again.

The middle-aged man nodded solemnly and said, "Absolutely not!" ”

M frowned. He clicked on the text on the table and asked, "Then how to explain the signs shown in this article?" ”

The middle-aged man pondered for a moment. "I think this is a tactic adopted by the Estonian government, and they may be acting falsely, after all, they are under a lot of pressure, and it is understandable to pretend to make concessions," he replied respectfully. ”

This answer seems reasonable, but M is not entirely convinced. He always felt that the Bolsheviks could not have imagined that the Estonians were hypocritical, but they had come to an agreement with the Estonians.

The answer was revealed two days later, and MI6 spies used a lot of connections to figure out what agreement Estonia and the Bolsheviks had reached.

"Non-aggression pact? Already highly agreed? The reason why it was not signed immediately was solely because the Estonian government was worried about the pressure from Germany and us? ”

This answer made M anxious, as soon as Estonia and Russia did reach a non-aggression pact, then the alliance of the three Baltic states would be completely broken, and soon the chain reaction would force Latvia and Lithuania to submit to Russia as well, and finally the Entente bloc's attempt to use the three Baltic states to cause trouble for the Bolsheviks would be completely frustrated.

"Latvia and Lithuania must be strongly supported, they must be allowed to stand their ground, they must resist the pressure of the Bolsheviks, and at the same time we must do the work of Estonia with all our might, and we must make them abandon the non-aggression pact with Russia!"

The British reacted very decisively and directly, pulling and beating the three Baltic countries, and giving full play to the diplomatic skills of the old imperialists. But the effect is not particularly good, why?

The reason is simple, Britain, or rather, the Entente bloc was too far from the three Baltic states, and the three Baltic states were too close to Russia. Moreover, the energy of the Entente bloc was again drawn up by Germany and Poland. Anyone with even the slightest political discerning can see that the British are playing blank, and the promises they make are difficult to fulfill quickly. At the same time, the Russians were on the ground, and the Estonians did not dare to say no to the Bolsheviks in full accordance with the instructions of the Entente and the former suzerain.

As for Latvia and Lithuania, although the promises of the British gave them a certain incentive to face the polar bears a little more, it is difficult to say how much of this courage was.

"We can only delay it now, and every day it will be a day, as long as we wait for Germany to completely surrender, and when the Entente can free up their hands to solve the Russian problem, we will be safe!"

"The problem is that the Russians didn't give us time. Their Eastern Front is being transferred day and night to Pskov, Velikiye Luki and Smolensk, and from what we know, the strength of the troops is definitely more than 200,000! As soon as we say no, war will come immediately, and will the Entente save us in time? ”

The foreign ministers of Latvia and Lithuania quarreled, and under the military pressure of Russia, they were impetuous, and the pressure was great. You can only vent by shouting and screaming through guΓ². On the other hand, the foreign minister of Estonia seems so calm. A posture that has nothing to do with himself.

Soon his gesture aroused the high displeasure of the foreign ministers of the other two countries: "Mr. Foreign Minister. I would like to know what is the attitude of your country and why you negotiate privately with the Bolsheviks. Please pay attention to who stood behind you in the spring of this year when you angered the Russians! ”

"Gentlemen, please don't get excited!" The Estonian Foreign Minister said with a pleasant face, "Excitement does not solve any problems, first of all, I want to say." We did not make any private dealings with the Bolsheviks, much less turned our backs on our allies. ”

"Are you sure?" The Lithuanian Foreign Minister let out a sneer.

"Of course I'm sure!" The Estonian Foreign Minister replied with a smile, "Our dealings with Russia are open and transparent, and there are no private dealings, let alone against third countries." On the basis of equality and peace, we started a dialogue with the Russians and achieved certain results, nothing more! ”

"It's better to say than to sing, but tell me what you've achieved!" The Latvian Foreign Minister also scoffed.

The Estonian Foreign Minister still smiled and said calmly: "Russia is ready to respect the choices of each of our three countries." We are willing to respect the independence and sovereign integrity of our three countries, and we are willing to coexist peacefully with us. ”

The foreign ministers of Latvia and Lithuania laughed together: "Then I would like to believe that polar bears are vegetarians!" ”

"Gentlemen!" The Estonian Foreign Minister suddenly put away his smile. "Please pay attention, I am talking about a very strict and true event. For the common interests of our three countries, our country has made great efforts! Your country should give our country the least respect for its efforts! ”

The foreign ministers of Latvia and Lithuania simply shrugged their shoulders, and it was clear that they did not believe a word in the words of the Estonian counterpart.

"You just have to say the conditions of the Russians," the Latvian foreign minister sneered, "let's say, let us cede the territory, or let us accept their protection?" ”

The Estonian Foreign Minister gave him a blank look and sneered: "It seems that you are only at this level, do you think we must grovel to the Russians?" ”

The Latvian Foreign Minister sneered: "Isn't it?!" ”

"Of course not!" "As I have stressed before, the exchange between our country and Russia is based on dialogue on an equal footing based on mutual respect for territory and sovereignty. We refuse to cede land, we refuse to become vassals! ”

The Latvian Foreign Minister did not believe it at all, and was ready to make a sarcastic remark at that time, but the Lithuanian Foreign Minister took the lead: "What do the Russians want?" ”

The Estonian Foreign Minister stared at the Latvian Foreign Minister and said contemptuously: "You can say nothing at all!" ”

"Are you kidding?!"

"It's not funny at all!"

"It's not a joke!" The Estonian foreign minister smiled and said, "The Russians do not demand that we cede territory, nor do they intend to sign a forced treaty with us." The demands of the Russians are very simple, they only demand the right of military harmlessness for a certain period of time in the future! ”

The foreign ministers of Latvia and Lithuania looked at each other, and to be honest they were surprised, when did the polar bear's appetite become so small? Could it be indigestion?

"Are you sure it's not an excuse?" The foreign ministers of Latvia and Lithuania asked, "Is it not under the guise of the Russians?" Once we open the borders, their armies will take us out without blood! ”

"Of course, this risk is deposited!" The Estonian Foreign Minister replied in a serious manner: "In order to avoid such a tragedy, we will conclude a formal non-aggression pact with Russia!" The treaty will guarantee our sovereignty and territorial integrity! ”

The foreign ministers of Latvia and Lithuania frowned together, and to tell the truth, they don't trust polar bears, what if the Russians don't have discipline at all, and completely treat the treaty as a butt paper?

Now the Estonian foreign minister became impatient: "Since you don't trust Russia at all, it means that we have only one way to go to war." But gentlemen, I would like to ask, are you capable of withstanding the attack of the Russian army? ”

"Then the Russians can't be left to their own devices!"

"How can the Russians let the Russians have the final say?" The Estonian Foreign Minister bitterly explained: "The Russians have shown sincerity, they are willing to solve the problem peacefully, and this is already a pretty good result!" ”

"Then how are we going to account for the Entente and Germany?"

"Push it to the Russians! Let's just say that it is the military pressure of the Russians, and we, as a small country, are powerless to resist at all, and everything is forced, isn't it very simple? ”

After thinking for a moment, the foreign ministers of Latvia and Lithuania looked at each other and sighed: "Let us inform the country, after all, this issue is not for us to have the final say!" ”

"Absolutely!" The Estonian Foreign Minister nodded understandingly, and reminded: "But you have to hurry, you must know that the Russians are not exactly one voice within themselves, and there are also quite a few forces within them who demand to solve the problem with the army." If you procrastinate and make the polar bear impatient, you know the result! ”

When the closed-door meeting of the foreign ministers of the three countries ended, the conditions of the Russians were inevitably leaked, and for the Entente group, this was completely different from their previous expectations, and they were caught off guard for a while! (To be continued......)
