Nikolayevich sighed and said: "Yes, this is also something that I have always found strange, what do the British and Germans want to do?" ”

The attendant was silent, and by this time the two had already come to the outside of the palace, and Nikolayevich walked in, and the attendant closed the door for him outside, and saw that inside the room, Badaev was sitting leisurely at the edge of the table, which was full of delicacies, barbecue, caviar, everything.

Nikolayevich smiled bitterly and said, "Or is it that the professor is idle?" ”

Badaev smiled and said: "It doesn't feel good to lose your freedom, don't make fun of me, don't tease me, do you have something to do with me?" ”

Nikolayevich nodded and said: "I did have something important to come to you, I have already signed a peace agreement with Lin Yuan, but today Germany and Britain suddenly appeared, saying that they would send troops to support me. ”

Badaev frowned and asked, "How many troops are they going to send?" ”

Nikolayevich said: "The first batch of troops was like this: the Germans sent five heavy divisions, the British sent more than 30 capital warships, and they also promised to provide me with a large number of weapons and equipment free of charge to arm my own troops. ”

Badaev was so surprised that he dropped the knife and fork in his hand on the table, and exclaimed: "Oh my God, they have sent so many troops! ”

Nikolayevich asked: "Do you say that Britain and Germany really want to help me?" ”

Badaev thought for a while and said: "Our Russia is very important to Britain and Germany, if Russia enters Lin Yuan's sphere of influence, then the Chinese army will reach the German border, and Germany will definitely not want to see such a situation." ”

"After Russia enters China's sphere of influence, the Chinese fleet can run rampant in the Baltic Sea unimpeded, and if the Chinese fleet sails east out of the Skagerrak Strait, it will enter the North Sea, and then the entire British mainland will face the edge of the Chinese fleet, and Britain naturally does not want to see this kind of thing."

Nikolayevich thought for a moment and said: "Then you mean that I should fully surrender to Britain and Germany?" Tear up the agreement signed with Lin Yuan? ”

Badaev shook his head lightly and said, "This is not the case. I have just analyzed the mentality of Britain and Germany, and I will now analyze China's mentality, since Lin Yuan issued the '918 speech', it marks that China has officially entered the posture of global offensive, and in this situation, China will sooner or later complete the great goal of 'unifying the world and integrating mankind', and Russia must be one of them. ”

"So China is definitely going to attack Russia, and China has done a lot of preparation to attack Russia before, and it is imperative to take Russia, and the aid of Britain and Germany may not be for China to stop, on the contrary, China is very likely to launch a big war to liberate Europe and bring the whole of Europe into China's sphere of influence."

Nikolayevich thought for a while and said: "You mean that China, Britain, and Germany will not give up Russia, and there will inevitably be a big war between the two sides in Russia?" ”

Badaev nodded and said: "Maybe so, Mr. Speaker, now it depends on your choice, if you choose China, you will lose your wealth and power, if you choose Britain and Germany, your power and wealth will be preserved." ”

Nikolayevich chuckled softly and said: "If I say so, I will definitely choose England and Germany." ”

Badaev shook his head and said: "Things are not so simple, China's national strength is stronger than Britain and Germany, China's military strength is naturally stronger than Britain and Germany, the probability of China's victory is very high, if you choose Britain and Germany, the probability of defeat will definitely be greatly increased, if Britain and Germany fail, you also offend Lin Yuan, you will lose a qiē." ”

"Now you have a gamble in front of you, and if you want to win big, you have to take the risk of losing nothing!"

Badaev let out a long breath after speaking, and then looked at Nikolaevich intently, Nikolaevich did not speak, the scene was quiet for ten minutes, then Nikolaevich suddenly smiled and said: "Dear Professor Badaev, do I have a way to win and not lose?" ”

"Nope!" Badaev replied firmly.

"Not necessarily, right?" A sneer appeared at the corner of Nikolayevich's mouth.

Badaev hurriedly asked: "What can you do?" ”

Nikolayevich said with a smile: "I told Lin Yuan about the aid of Britain and Germany, if the situation is really as you said, China will not give up Russia because of the intervention of Britain and Germany, he will definitely mobilize a large number of troops to fight Britain and Germany, and I am the object of both sides, am I in a position of winning and not losing?" ”

Badaev thought for a moment and said: "Although this method is feasible, it is also risky, if you don't do it properly, you will offend people on both sides." ”

Nikolayevich smiled and said: "Don't worry, I'll figure out how to do it." ”

After Nikolayevich finished speaking, he walked out of the house and said to his attendants: "Send a telegram to Lin Yuan at once, saying that Britain and Germany will vigorously aid Russia." ”

The attendant didn't ask much, so he sent the news to Lin Yuan, Lin Yuan was not surprised to see this news, he knew very well how important Russia's strategic position was, and it would be an accident if Britain and Germany let go of such an important place.

Lin Yuan thought in his heart: "I don't have to worry about the British navy, because this battle will mainly take place on land, the role of the navy is not large, but the German army should not be underestimated, their combat effectiveness is very strong, how China fights the German army, it will definitely not be as easy as fighting the Russian army, and it will definitely consume a lot of materials." ”

"The 7th and 39th divisions have just liberated Kazakhstan, where the transportation network is not perfect enough, and it is difficult to transport large quantities of supplies and supplies to the front line, so the battle with the German Army cannot be selected in the south of Russia, but in the north of Russia, and the Siberian Front should be used as the main force to participate in the war."

"If the main force involved in the war is the Siberian Front, then Yekaterinburg must be taken, this is the terminus of the Russian Northern Railway, and occupying this place can use the Russian railway to transport troops and supplies." Thinking of this, Lin Yuan immediately notified the Siberian Military Department and asked it to urge the Russian Praetorian Guard to surrender as much as possible.

The military headquarters of the Siberian Front agreed and immediately sent a messenger to ask the Russian Praetorian Guard to surrender, but the commander of the Praetorian Guard refused to surrender for various reasons, and Lin Yuan immediately understood that Nikolayevich wanted to get between China and Britain and Germany.
