The battalion commander's surname is Pang, his name is Xiude, he is as his name suggests, he is a gentle middle-aged man, he didn't even scold his soldiers for a word, so Lin Yuan handed over the prisoner of war camp to him with confidence, and now when he heard him say this, he couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Mysterious?" What's mysterious? ”

Pang Xiude thought for a while and said, "I can't say it, they are just different from others, and our interpreters can't understand their words." ”

Lin Yuan asked, "Don't understand?" So how did they know what to do in the prisoner of war camp? ”

Pang Xiude said with a smile: "Fool for the New Year, learn from neighbors, this group of people do things by looking at others, they do whatever others do, let off steam, and eat the same." ”

Lin Yuan asked, "They don't speak a Russian dialect, do they?" ”

"Not really, they can write, and our translators write Russian with pen and paper, but they can't read it," said Ponshud. ”

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "This is strange, how come Russians can't speak Russian?" ”

When he arrived at the prisoner of war camp, Pang Xiude called the one who was the leader out, Lin Yuan saw him in the interrogation room, and it was a middle-aged man who came in, with golden hair and light blue eyes, Lin Yuan asked in Russian: "What is your name?" ”

The prisoner of war didn't speak, looked at him coldly, and then said something, Lin Yuan didn't understand, he took a pen and paper, and motioned for him to write on it, wanting to see which country he was from.

The prisoner of war looked at the pen and paper, seemed to understand what he meant, and wrote a line of words on the paper, Lin Yuan took it and looked at it, it was the Latin alphabet, it seemed that this person's language was Latin, Lin Yuan subconsciously spelled out the syllables composed of those Latin letters in English, this is just a meaningless personal habit, he spelled out a few words, and found that the spelling could not be pronounced, so he took the paper, turned around and went out, wanting to send the letters on the paper back to the Beijing ship, so that they could determine which language it was.

At the moment when Lin Yuan turned around and went out, the words of that person came from behind him, he was actually speaking English, he asked Lin Yuan: "Do you speak English?" ”

Lin Yuan was also surprised, and thought to himself: "He can speak English, how can the translator not know the truth!" In modern society, English is a compulsory course for everyone, and translators have learned English before learning other languages, but in this era, the translators in Lin Yuanjun's army are all businessmen, and these businessmen know Russian because they do business with Russians, and as for English, they don't understand it at all.

Lin Yuan turned around and asked in surprise, "You actually know English?" Where are you from? ”

The prisoner replied in English: "I am from Warsaw." ”

Lin Yuan didn't think about it, and said directly: "Oh, it turns out that you are Polish." The eyes of the prisoners of war flashed with excitement, and they thanked them again and again, which stunned Lin Yuan, didn't he just say that he was a Pole? He had to thank him for something, and it took him a while to remember that at this time, there was no such thing as Poland on earth, because it had been divided between Russia, Prussia, and Austria.

The prisoner of war said: "My name is Mutter, I am one of the leaders of the Polish independence movement, I was exiled to Siberia, and as soon as the war broke out, we were drawn into the army until we were captured by you. ”

Lin Yuan asked, "Then how can you speak English?" ”

"I studied chemistry at Cambridge University, where I spent five years of schooling, then worked in a chemical factory in England and then went back to Poland to lead the independence movement," Mutter laughs. ”

Lin Yuan thought for a moment and asked, "You don't know Russian, so how can you talk to others in the army?" ”

"We have a battalion, we call it the Polish battalion, and the officers of this battalion are all Russian, but they are separated from us," Mutter said. Lin Yuan asked, "Do you want to go back?" Return to your home country. ”

Mu Ting nodded and said, "Of course! ”

Lin Yuan said: "If you can help us take the city of the three surnames, I will help you return to the motherland." ”

Mut's eyes lit up with joy, and he asked, "How do you want me to help you?" ”

Lin Yuan asked, "Didn't you say you have a Polish battalion?" I don't know what the soldiers in this Polish battalion think? Do you also want Poland to become independent? ”

"The Polish battalion is just our own name, and we Poles are only a part of it, and there are Ukrainians, Lithuanians, Belarusians, all enslaved by the tsar," Mutter said. ”

Lin Yuan said: "Can you call on this Polish battalion to revolt in the city, you only need to open the city gate, and we will attack it." ”

Mu Ting nodded and said: "The matter of standing guard at the gate of the city has always been done by our Polish battalion, but I don't know how many people in the Polish battalion retreated to the city of the three surnames after the Battle of the Three Forks in the Road?" ”

Lin Yuan thought for a while and said, "Then let's do it, I'll take you to the city gate, and it's not your people who are guarding the city gate yourself." ”

Mutt agreed, Lin Yuan took him to the east gate and handed him the binoculars, Mutt looked at the city wall with the telescope for a long time, shook his head, and looked at the two city gates in a row, Mut didn't find himself alone, when he arrived at the south gate, Lin Yuan had almost given up this plan, Mutt looked at the people on the city wall, and suddenly said: "It turns out that our people are here." ”

Lin Yuan said: "Okay, let's do it at the south gate, my plan is like this, I will let people escort you to work outside the city, you can just use wooden sticks to knock them out and escape, I believe that the city is already in a panic, no one will care about you suddenly fleeing back." ”

Mutt nodded in agreement, and just as they turned to go back, Mutt asked, "General Lin, from which country did you buy your telescope?" ”

Lin Yuan's telescope, which he brought from the Beijing ship, replied, "We made it ourselves, what's wrong?" "I'm a chemist, I know the production process and the quality of the imaging of glass, and I think the lenses on your telescope seem to be ahead of our time," Mutter said. ”

Lin Yuanha smiled and said, "What are you thinking? What does it mean to be ahead of our time? We have our own factory, if you want, you can come and work with us. After speaking, Lin Yuan thought: "How can there be a factory?" The inorganic salt industry is just getting started. ”

Mu nodded and smiled: "Of course, it is a good thing to have access to the latest techniques, with the latest techniques, we will not be enslaved by foreign races." ”

Lin Yuan hurriedly put this topic aside, and he said: "If everything goes well, when you open the city gate, the Russian flag is hoisted upside down, and we rush over when we see the signal. ”

Things went very well, Mutt fled with the dozen or so people digging trenches outside the city, and returned to the city, Alekov immediately summoned them, but Alekov did not think of Lin Yuan's plan, but asked Mutt about Lin Yuan's situation, Lin Yuan specially instructed Mutt, when the senior leaders of the Russian army asked about me, just say to the strong, if we can scare them away, our affairs will be much simpler.

On the 5th day after Mutt returned to the city, on the 30th of May, when the morning light came, the white, blue, and red tricolor flag on the south gate was lowered, and after a while the red, blue, and white tricolor was raised, and then the gate slowly opened.

An elite detachment quickly rushed into the city, occupied the city gates, and entered the city without the knowledge of the Russian army in the city.
