Chapter Seventy-Six: Missing
"Rasputin, don't say any more.
Brauchitsch's loyalty was tested, and I trusted Brauchitsch. ”
On the gilt carved bed, Catherine hugged the silk brocade quilt and said lazily.
After just one round of fighting, the tough Rasputin worked very hard, and the violent impact drained her physical strength.
But the empress is the empress, and even in this case, the mind remains clear.
No matter how the wind blows on Rasputin's pillow, Ekaterina and I stand still.
"My darling!
Brauchitsch, the old fellow, is dangerous, and he knows what we are going to do against the Ming.
I know you don't want to booby trap the generalissimo, but the old Brauchitsch doesn't want to do that. ”
Rasputin did not give up, he decided that there were only people who did not work hard, and there were no corners that could not be dug up.
Now it's time to officially roll up your sleeves and work hard!
"Huh! As for the relationship with the generalissimo of the Ming Dynasty, apart from me, only Brauchitsch can invite him to his home.
Without Brauchitsch, who else can you use? You?
Don't always speak ill of Brauchitsch, he has done a good job in getting in touch with Daming over the years.
Our army school, medical school, and many factories were all won by him from the Ming people!
The Ming people also helped us build a lot of roads, although these roads and railways facilitated the military mobilization of the Ming Dynasty.
But on another level, it does boost Russia's economy.
If they don't come and build it, we don't have the money or the technology to build such a large-scale project.
Take the bridges over the Volga, Don, and Dnieper. It's all reinforced concrete bridges!
In particular, the bridge over the Volga River can be connected not only by car but also by train.
In the Battle of Tsaritsyn, it was by relying on this bridge that a steady stream of supplies and soldiers could be sent into the city.
This is all thanks to Brauchitsch! ”
"But the Ming people are also preparing for the annexation of Russia, if not, why would you oppose the Ming Dynasty?
In other words, Brauchitsch also served the Ming people. ”
Rasputin persevered in digging.
"In any case, Brauchitsch cannot be disposed of now. At least not for now!
Whatever grievances you have with Brauchitsch, they can't affect my affairs.
Otherwise......! Catherine didn't say more, just gave Rasputin a fierce look.
Rasputin was speechless for a while!
He knew that this was Catherine's warning to herself.
There was no way, the old lover did not want to know Brauchitsch, so he had to wait.
Over the course of one night, Rasputin used all his might, even the joy technique that the tantric master had taught him.
It made Catherine soft all over, and she couldn't get up until the third pole of the sun.
The tantric master's kung fu was naturally good, and Rasputin got up at ten o'clock in the morning in good spirits.
Seeing Catherine, who was still asleep, Rasputin smiled and went out for breakfast.
After breakfast, Rasputin was about to go to the bathing center to collect taxes.
Suddenly, the phone on the desk rang!
"Patriarch!
Last night in Brauchitsch's study, he suddenly called the generalissimo of the Ming Dynasty.
Then the generalissimo of the Ming Dynasty sent a few people to Brauchitsch's house, and they seemed to have picked up someone. ”
"Who?" The unexpected news made Rasputin's eyes light up.
He was keenly aware that this was a good opportunity to bring down Brauchitsch.
"I can't see clearly, I'm wearing a black robe all over my body, and I'm wearing a mask on my face."
"Could it be the Courier!" Rasputin immediately led the subject astray.
"This ......! I don't know. "That dogleg, obviously didn't understand what Rasputin meant.
"Idiot! Where are people now? "The men were stupid and couldn't understand what they meant, and Rasputin couldn't help it.
"After entering the generalissimo's line, I didn't come out again, it was the place of the Ming army, and we didn't dare to enter, so we could only guard outside."
"Didn't come out all night?"
"Yes!
Oh, Brauchitsch is packing up at home. It looks like their family is going to go far away! ”
"Got it, keep an eye on the Brauchitsch family." Although his men are not on the road, these are small details.
What is important is what to say with Empress Catherine!
Or rather, how to convince Catherine that Brauchitsch was betraying Russia.
After gathering his thoughts, Rasputin re-entered the large bedroom.
Catherine was awake, and she was lying lazily on the pillow, the silk brocade in front of her lying diagonally over her chest.
The sun shone on her white breasts, white reflection and white dazzling.
If it was on weekdays, maybe Rasputin would walk over and tease him, and then the two of them applauded their love again, and then got up together for lunch.
But today, Rasputin changed to an anxious expression.
"Honey, something big is wrong." Rasputine struggled to speak with urgency.
"Something happened again." In the huge Russia, there are so many things to do on weekdays, not to mention that it is wartime.
Ekaterina has long been used to it, and it would be strange if nothing happened one day.
"Brauchitsch is betraying Russia." Rasputin is not shocking, and it is endless.
"What?" Catherine sat up straight in shock, and the silky silk brocade fell on the bed, revealing her plump upper body.
Brauchitsch knew Russia's overall plan to break the treaty, and if he took refuge in the Ming, it would ...... The consequences are unimaginable.
"I got a tip that Brauchitsch had called the Generalissimo last evening."
"The contents of the call!"
"No one knows, the telephone bureau is all in charge of the Ming people. It was possible to find out that Brauchitsch had made a phone call, or that he had bought off the insiders. ”
"Is the news true?" Catherine's face became solemn.
If something like this happens at this time, it is likely that the whole plan will be disrupted.
Moreover, Brauchitsch was an insider. If he told the generalissimo of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming army would definitely immediately surround the Kremlin and arrest him.
"Go to the Hermitage!" Catherine sprang up from the bed and pulled at her clothes with a roar.
The Hermitage is on the outskirts of Moscow, where it was originally a fortress.
Later, it was opened up as a palace by the Russian royal family, and if something unexpected happened, the tsar would take refuge in the Winter Palace as soon as possible.
Because it was originally a fortress, and with the continuous renovation over the years, the building of the Winter Palace is even more sturdy.
When it was first built, the walls were designed to be able to directly resist direct fire from 120 mm guns.
In the last two years, the strength has been increased to the point where it can withstand direct fire from 155 mm guns.
Even for the Winter Palace project, a cement plant was built specifically.
It was precisely because of the high engineering requirements that the construction was not completed after two years.
But even if it wasn't finished, it was the safest place in Catherina's mind.
"Your Majesty! Brauchitsch must be eliminated immediately, and last night the Ming sent a chariot to his house to pick up a messenger. ”
Rasputin immediately began to add fuel to the fire, and if this rotten medicine continues, I don't believe that you Brauchitsch is not finished.
"The Courier?" Catherine's eyes widened, and there was a messenger to prove that Brauchitsch had begun negotiations with the Ming.
"Yes! It was a courier wrapped in a cloak, and no one knew who it was.
The Ming people took the people away, and until now the people are still in the line of the generalissimo of the Ming Dynasty.
If you send someone to check, you can find it now. Rasputin believed that another handful of firewood would do the trick for Brauchitsch.
"And early this morning, Brauchitsch's family began to pack their belongings, as if they were going to travel far away."
After a set of combination punches, Rasputin looked at Ekaterina, who was a little flustered.
Things have come to this point, where can Ekaterina still keep her composure.
There is no time and energy to verify the truth of Rasputdin's words.
"Send someone to arrest Brauchitsch at once." Ekaterina shouted irritably.
"Yes! Your Majesty! Rasputin was so happy that he almost bubbled up his nose.
This time, look at your little bitch who can escape from Lao Tzu's palm.
As soon as Krasputin reached the door, Catherine's voice came from behind him: "Send someone to invite Brauchitsch to the Winter Palace, remember to be polite." ”
Ekaterina is Ekaterina, and by the time Rasputin walked to the door, she had recovered from the initial panic.
What Rasputin said was nothing more than his side of the story. And Rasputin has been having trouble with Brauchitsch lately!
Things have not been verified and Rasputin cannot be listened to completely.
Invite people into the Winter Palace politely, and if it is really a misunderstanding, there can be a buffer room.
It is definitely not for nothing that Catherine can react so quickly between the electric and flint to be able to control Russia.
"Your Majesty!" The change was so fast that Rasputin didn't react a little.
"To do it, you must politely invite Brauchitsch over." Ekaterina said as she calmly dressed herself.
"Yes! Your Majesty. Rasputin had no choice but to go out and deliver Catherine's orders.
To make Her Majesty the Empress repeat it twice, Rasputine did not have the courage to deliberately say the wrong thing.
At this time, Brauchitsch's house was in chaos, and I thought that Peggy was just angry and couldn't come out for breakfast.
Brauchitsch's wife and Angelina didn't care either!
But it was almost noon, and Peggy still didn't come out of the room.
The helpless lady asked the nurse to call Peggy out, and everyone couldn't lie in bed all day.
As a result, the nurse's screams came from inside the room, and Peggy was gone.
This surprise is not trivial, a good girl is gone.
Madame instructed the servants of the house to search the whole house, but Peggy could not be found.
The helpless lady had no choice but to call Brauchitsch and ask him to come home.
Brauchitsch was arranging for his family to go to the estate, it was a time of war, and the families of high-ranking officials could not leave Russia at will.
If you want your family to return to the country estate, you have to go through approval. Although this was not a big problem for Brauchitsch, he had to do it.
After the approval procedures are completed, you have to find a proper team of guards.
After all, now the common people are on the verge of not being able to survive.
A few dozen kilometers away from Moscow, there are many bandits.
Without a reliable guard, the family is sent into the wolf's mouth.
With these two things, Brauchitsch dared to let the family leave Moscow and go to the lower estate.
He first went to Duke Peter and asked to send his family back to the country estate. After receiving the approval, he rushed to Kutuzov in a carriage.
has been an old friend for many years, and this little face still has to be given.
Kutuzov happily transferred a company of troops to protect Brauchitsch's family.
However, the company's provisions and salaries would henceforth have to be borne by Brauchitsch's family.
In times of war, being able to do this is worthy of the friendship between the two for more than 20 years.
Just as he was about to say thank you, suddenly a call from home came directly to Kutuzov's office.
After hearing the news, Brauchitsch hurried home!
Kutuzov also sent a company of men to help Brauchitsch find him.
"What does Peggy mean?" Brauchitsch asked, frowning.
Peggy is usually quiet and introverted, and doesn't like to talk much. In this family, it has always been a dispensable character who will not be taken seriously.
Otherwise, no one would have gone looking for her all morning.
"It's just gone, and I've searched all over the house.
Do you think it was kidnapped!
There are a lot of kidnappings now, and those people are crazy and dare to do anything for their stuttering. ”
Madame was a little flustered at this time!
Although I don't want to see this girl, I am also my own daughter.
What's more, she also has a bad relationship with the son of the generalissimo of the Ming Dynasty.
Brauchitsch did not approve of this family business, but she still did.
If he can marry the generalissimo of the Ming Dynasty, the Brauchitsch family will become the great nobles of today's Russia.
"Don't panic, if it's a kidnapper, it's easy to do, it's just asking for money and food."
Brauchitsch knew better than his wife, and now he wished that Peggy had been kidnapped by the kidnappers.
Can......!
Where else in Moscow could such a powerful kidnapper be able to kidnap a big living person under the noses of the Brauchitsch guards.
"Then do you want to call the police, let the police station help you find it."
"Don't call the police yet, if it's a robber, calling the police will only hurt Peggy." Brauchitsch sighed and sat down on the couch.
I was going to send my family to the country manor tomorrow, but I didn't expect this to happen.
"What then? Just sit and wait? Madame was in a hurry.
"You tell me to think about what to do, don't talk." Brauchitsch looked at his wife irritably.
Women are like this, they don't have the slightest idea when they encounter things, they will only talk and annoy people on the side.
"Your Excellency!" While he was in trouble, the butler walked in.
"What's the matter?" Brauchitsch asked irritably.
"Her Majesty's chief of guard is here, and he wants to invite you to the Winter Palace."
