Chapter 70: Banquets in the Kremlin
"Could it be that you've been brainwashed by that bastard Rasputin too?
We are following the victory of the Ming Festival, and at this time you have to turn against the water, I think you are in the water in your head. ”
Brauchitsch looked at Duke Peter viciously, this was the first time he had looked at a high-ranking Duke like this.
"What about the victory of the following Daming?
It's like the dogs of the Ming Dynasty who are the Japanese people, Koreans, and Jiaozhi people?
Look at those Ming people, whenever they see the Ming people, they have to bow down.
Even if you are an official, a wealthy man, or a nobleman, you have to pay a salute to a beggar of the Ming Dynasty.
If there is any dispute with the Ming people, the government will always judge the Ming Dynasty to victory.
Are you going to live like that? Salute to a Ming beggar? ”
Duke Peter was like a tiger in an iron cage, pacing constantly.
The words that come out of the mouth are not so much talking as roaring.
"Victory!
Do you know what the price of victory is?
Our troops ate black bread mixed with sawdust and fought in the snow and ice against coalition forces that had superiority in numbers and weapons.
You only saw the victory of the Ming Dynasty, you did not see the sacrifice of our soldiers.
In Tsaritsyn, we lost more than 30,000 people overnight.
How many people did the Ming army die in battle? ”
“……!” Brauchitsch was speechless.
If the nobles were not corrupt, the army would be hungry.
Today's Russia is rotten to the roots.
The greedy ink who was responsible for purchasing military rations resold military rations, and those who were responsible for purchasing quilts actually stuffed paper into cotton clothes to replace expensive cotton.
The military factories in charge of weapons even secretly sell guns and ammunition.
Look at Daming again, people's military rations are divided into many kinds.
What kind of military rations do you carry with you when you fight, and what kind of military rations you eat on weekdays.
Not only is the staple esophagus enough, but the canned beef has been pulled to Russia one by one, and it has been pulled for several months.
There are also some stinky and shameless ones, saying that there is no cotton in the cotton clothes of the Ming people.
Brauchitsch wanted to spit in the man's face, who had eiderdown in his clothes.
The officer's clothes are even more goose down, which is not a cotton shirt, it is called a down jacket.
When it came to weapons and ammunition, Brauchitsch didn't bother to say anything about .......
Soldiers all over the world are envious of the guys in the hands of the Ming people.
"Do you know what is most prosperous in our Russia today?
Bathing center!
It's a variant of the kiln!
How many Russian girls are there, ravaged by the Ming people. You have to laugh and make people ravage!
My poor tax collector, still looking for money from them. ”
“……!”
Brauchitsch was even more speechless.
The people who run the bathing centers are all local tycoons in Russia. A lot of officials have shares in it.
It is not so much Russia that is oppressing the poor girls, but the corrupt officials who are oppressing them.
Still laughing and letting the Ming people ravage, didn't they give money?
People spend money to buy laughter, do they still buy you to cry?
"What do the Ming people advocate?
Dragon!
Those evil things are actually worshiped by them as ancestors.
The generalissimo of the Ming Dynasty is a tiger that eats people and does not spit out bones.
If you look at what happened to India, you can think about what will happen to us in the future.
Russia will be dismembered into countless small principalities, and in the future we will only be the dogs of the Ming people.
Just like the Japanese people, the Koreans, and the Jiaozhi people, no, we are not as good as them.
The Ming people looked down on our white skin, yellow hair, and eyes of all colors. ”
Brauchitsch turned and walked away.
Duke Peter was already paranoid, and there was no need for such a conversation to continue.
Brauchitsch's policy towards Daming, and what was to come in the future, made Brauchitsch very uneasy.
He has been to Daming and has dealt with Daming a lot.
Brauchitsch knew deep down that the Ming Dynasty was powerful and terrifying.
This kind of horror is not because there is a god-like generalissimo, but because the Ming is strong as a whole.
They have advanced technology that surpasses the whole world, and many of their big cities have electricity supply.
Their railways were paved to every province of the empire, and their skies were filled with airship flights every day.
From the northernmost to the southernmost part of the empire, it only takes one day.
You know, that's from the Xing'an Mountains to the blazing Hainan Island.
Counted, farther than the distance from Moscow to London.
Freighters and warships as high as mountains float on the sea, and factory chimneys are lined up everywhere.
These things, not to mention Russia, or even the whole of Europe, cannot be compared.
To deal with such a large-scale war, Da Ming did not use all his strength at all.
Brauchitsch knew too well what the Ming wanted to do, even if the war lasted for another two years, there would be almost no loss of national strength for the Ming Dynasty.
On the contrary, it is because of the cost of the war that the domestic economy has been effectively stimulated.
Daming's economy may be better!
What about Europe?
A war of this magnitude would certainly be too poor to be fought for another two years.
When the time comes, even the young girls will not have a buyer if they want to sell.
Daming is the maker of the rules of the world in the future, and only by following Daming can we enjoy the glory of the winner.
Although, this kind of glory is to look up to the Ming snort.
can be the second in the world, or it is better than being the bottom of the world.
Moreover, with Russia's current strength, it is already very good to be the little brother of the Ming Dynasty.
The country's prosperity and development are not a matter of one or two years.
It will take ten, twenty or even more years!
What Russia needs now is time!
As for the rhetoric of the dismemberment of Russia, Brauchitsch did not believe it.
Among the Russian officials, Brauchitsch went to Daming the most times, and met Li Xiao the most and was the most familiar.
With his understanding of Li Xiao, the war is won, and the Ming Dynasty will still give Russia a lot of benefits.
At least let people all over the world see it, and follow Daming to mix meat and eat.
Instead of rushing to dismember Russia!
Daming still cherishes his reputation, at least he wants to be faced.
They can't do this kind of thing of demolishing the bridge just after crossing the river.
Duke Peter feared that it was a concrete manifestation of paranoia of persecution.
For the bureaucrats and aristocrats like Russia, who are rotten to the bone, even if they are given time, Russia will not be able to develop.
Brauchitsch knew in his heart that a corrupt and inefficient government was the main reason why Generalissimo Li Xiao looked down on Russia.
Sitting in the carriage, I thought a lot, and before I knew it, the carriage had stopped.
When I looked up, I was already at my home.
Brauchitsch was also a figure with a face in Russia, and his family naturally lived in a mansion.
The carriage drove directly into the courtyard, bypassing the marble fountain and stopping at the bottom of the main building.
As soon as I got out of the carriage and entered the hall, I saw my wife and daughter dressed up.
Brauchitsch frowned, supplies were in short supply during the war. But the nobles and high-ranking officials still sang and danced, and banquets, drinking parties, and dances continued every night.
Many banquets have even reached the point of staying up all night.
I don't know what dinner my wife and daughter are going to attend tonight.
I hope there won't be Rasputin's magic stick!
The noblewoman of Moscow had slept almost all of him, and his own house did not seem to have been touched at the moment.
Brauchitsch didn't want his head to be green.
"Whose banquet are you going to?" Brauchitsch asked, looking at his wife.
While asking, he also used a fox shawl to help drape it on his wife's shoulders.
"You don't know? Today's banquet was personally ordered by Her Majesty the Empress.
He also specially instructed that the most beautiful girl in the family should be brought into the Kremlin. ”
Brauchitsch's wife looked very excited, and immediately chirped when she saw Brauchitsch's question.
The Kremlin, Her Majesty the Empress!
Two key words made Brauchitsch's heart alarm bells, everyone knew that behind these two words was the demon Rasputin.
As Catherine's male favorite, Rasputin can come and go in the Kremlin at will every day.
Now these two people in the family are dressed up so beautifully, going to the Kremlin is tantamount to falling into the mouth of a sheep.
Rasputin is quite unpicky about women, and it is said that even the cook in the Kremlin who weighs more than 200 pounds does not let go.
Not to mention, today's wives and daughters who are dressed up in fancy ways.
"Her Majesty summoned all the ladies of Moscow, and I heard that it was the son of the generalissimo of the Ming Dynasty who had come to Moscow.
Our Majesty the Empress, ready to find a companion for the Generalissimo's son in Moscow.
If they get along well, maybe the generalissimo's son will marry.
If you look at our Angelina so beautiful, she will definitely be valued by the generalissimo's son. ”
Brauchitsch's wife did not see the displeasure on Brauchitsch's face at all, and her eyes were completely fixed on the beautiful girl Angelina.
Hearing his wife's words, Brauchitsch's brow slowly relaxed.
That's no problem, I think Rasputin is not so bold as to dare to rob a woman with the generalissimo of the Ming Dynasty.
It's just that this kind of banquet is a joke.
The son of the generalissimo of the Ming Dynasty, that is the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty.
Brauchitsch knew too well the arrogance of the Ming people, and the Russians, like other Westerners, were looked down upon from the bottom of their hearts.
The Ming people believed that Westerners were uncivilized barbarians.
The most striking feature is the thick body hair on the top and bottom of the body.
In particular, the yellow hair on the head is the color of the fur that only monsters have in the legend of the Ming Dynasty.
Not to mention, there are people with red hair and beards.
The eyes are still of various colors, and this image is not much different from the monsters in the legends of the Ming Dynasty.
The son of the generalissimo will never take a fancy to his daughter.
Between the Ming people's speech, they would call Europeans Lao Maozi, Yellow Haired People, and Yellow Headed People......
Anyway, there are a lot of various pronouns, and when I participate in the banquet, I talk and laugh, which is completely in diplomatic etiquette.
"Don't bother, that banquet won't go." Brauchitsch's words were like a basin of cold water poured on his wife's heart.
"Why?"
"The son of the generalissimo of the Ming Dynasty will definitely not take a fancy to our daughter.
It will not be safe to go to this kind of banquet less in the future! ”
"Not safe? Will the Kremlin be unsafe? Brauchitsch's wife thought he was joking.
"It's time of war, you know war? Don't just go out, I'll send you to the manor down in a few days. ”
Brauchitsch said with a cold face.
"Is the coalition going on the attack?" Brauchitsch's wife immediately became nervous.
If the coalition attacks, then Moscow becomes a battlefield.
I heard that after the Battle of Tsaritsyn, Tsaritsyn was already in ruins.
"State secrets, don't ask.
I didn't go to the banquet, I went back upstairs. Brauchitsch shoved his daughter and wife upstairs.
"But this is a banquet arranged by Her Majesty the Empress, and we won't go ......!" Brauchitsch's wife was a little embarrassed.
"Uh-huh......! Then let Peggy go, not Angelina. Looking at his eldest daughter, Angelina, Brauchitsch immediately thought of another idea.
Brauchitsch's second daughter, Peggy, was born with a yellow face and thin muscles because she was not in good health since she was a child.
Now she is sixteen years old, but she still looks like a little girl of thirteen or fourteen years old.
And his face was full of freckles, and Brauchitsch decided that Rasputin would never value this little girl at a banquet with a large number of beautiful women.
"Peggy?"
"Hmmm! And thou shalt not go, but send his nurse with her. Brauchitsch looked at his charming wife, and was also a little worried.
"I can't go too?" The wife screamed all at once, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
"Well, don't go. Moscow is too chaotic now, you prepare, and in a few days I will find an opportunity to send you to the country estate. ”
With that, Brauchitsch went upstairs to his office.
The wife and Angelina glanced at each other, and went upstairs helplessly, the day's makeup was all wasted.
When the lights are on, the Kremlin banquet hall is brightly lit.
Although today's banquet was convened by Empress Catherine, she did not attend it in person due to her status.
Instead, the banquet was presided over by the sister of the previous tsar, Princess Christina.
Almost all the daughters of the Moscow aristocracy came, and the mothers who accompanied the beautiful women gathered one by one to discuss what kind of person the son of the generalissimo of the Ming Dynasty was.
They all thought that if their daughter-in-law became the daughter-in-law of the generalissimo of the Ming Dynasty, the family would immediately flourish.
Her Majesty the Empress did not dare to treat the Generalissimo's in-laws harshly in any case.
However, Princess Christina didn't want to make today's banquet a one-person blind date.
She also brought in the lads from the Moscow Military Academy!
They are all children of the nobility, wearing straight military uniforms.
No matter from posture to appearance, they are good candidates.
After all, the son of the generalissimo of the Ming Dynasty can't occupy all the beauties of Moscow.
It is also necessary to let the boys have a chance to show themselves and find their lovers.
Li Lin looked helplessly at the people in the banquet, all of them were yellow-haired people.
No matter where he goes, he is surrounded by a pair of affectionate eyes.
There are blue eyes, there are green eyes, and there is a red-haired woman who actually has a pair of amber eyes.
Oh my God, isn't this a monster?
