Chapter Ninety-Four: The Power of the Pen as a Knife

Li Xiao held a newspaper in his hand and paced around Xingyuan's office.

Luzhu sat on the sofa with a cup of hot tea in her hand.

Winters in Russia are too cold, much colder than in the capital. Just got back from outside, nothing could be more useful than a hot cup of tea.

"Well done!

It is not easy to form such a team in such a short time!

Great work! ”

Li Xiao put down the newspaper in his hand!

In the course of more than ten days, various Russian newspapers and Ming newspapers reported on the tremendous changes in Russia one after another.

The writers of the Green Beads organization have made various remarks in the newspapers.

From the aspects of loyalty, humanity, morality and law, etc., the crimes of Duke Peter in betraying Russia and betraying Empress Catherine are analyzed.

Catherine's funeral was even more grand.

Li Xiao pulled the new Russian Tsar Nicholas and personally helped the spirit. Marshal of Russia Kutuzov personally presided!

Hundreds of thousands of Russians stood in the cold wind to mourn Catherine.

Even Russia has invited Western journalists from Prussia, France, Britain, and other countries to make an exception and be invited to conduct on-site interviews.

A carriage with the Tsar's emblem pulled out of St. Basil's Cathedral with hundreds of thousands of people on the scene.

But everyone can hear the hooves of the tall Don hippopotamus!

The coffin behind the carriage was covered with the banner of the Romanov dynasty.

Little Tsar Nicholas, holding a bouquet of yellow chrysanthemums in one hand, was led by Li Xiao in the other.

Aged Kutuzov, wearing a mink hat, personally drove the carriage.

Wherever the hearse passed, all the Russians fell to their knees.

The hearse drove slowly across the bridge over the Moscow River and over Red Square, which was full of people.

Finally stopped outside the palace walls of the Kremlin, Nicholas fell to his knees and kissed the coffin.

Place the flowers in your hand respectfully on top of Catherine's coffin.

The little tsar wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and suddenly!

Nicholas broke free from Li Xiao's hand, and under the gaze of hundreds of thousands of people, he threw himself on the coffin and wailed.

Everyone was moved, and countless Russian civilians were crying.

The guards, formed by the Guards, raised their guns in their hands. Thirty-five shots into the sky symbolize that Empress Catherine lived for thirty-five years.

Amid the grieving cries of everyone, Catherina's coffin was buried under the walls of the Kremlin.

Teenage Tsar Nicholas climbed the walls of the Kremlin and spoke into the microphone: "

Today we sent away Ekaterina, the great mother of the Russian nation.

She has always loved Russia like a son. Love each and every one of us!

She has spent countless efforts for the future of the Russian nation.

Finally, with the help of the Ming Dynasty, Russia gradually became stronger.

But at a time when the entire Russian nation was fighting hard and fighting to the death against the coalition forces that invaded Russia.

Our great mother, but she was assassinated by a despicable villain.

I!

Nikoas Aleksandrovich, swear to God!

I will kill the enemy who killed my mother, the traitor to the Russian nation, Peter. Alexievich.

Without killing him, the Russians will not end the war.

Revenge!

Revenge! ”

Nicholas raised his right hand, and his voice rang out over Red Square with a megaphone.

"Revenge!

Revenge! ”

Hundreds of thousands of hairy bears in the square shouted in unison.

The sound was like the waves of the sea, wave after wave, making people feel suffocated.

"Ulla!"

"Ulla!"

The roars of hundreds of thousands of woolly bears were not covered, and the few Western reporters almost lost their feet.

Li Xiao looked at the little Nicholas in front of him, the battle race was really worthy of its reputation.

At least, the little furry bear in front of him is very combative.

However, this fighting spirit must be guaranteed to be used by the Prussians and the French.

Western journalists were sent back to the coalition forces, then from London to Paris to Berlin, Zurich, Rome.

Almost all Western newspapers reported on this solemn funeral.

Many people say that although Catherine was an enemy, the funeral was indeed extremely glorious.

There were even more Western newspapers that severely condemned Duke Peter.

Call on the government to extradite Duke Peter, who betrayed the monarch and killed the monarch, back to Russia.

By the Russians, he was put on trial.

At this time, the European continent was still controlled by the aristocracy.

The idea of loyalty to the monarch and patriotism is the mainstream value.

What Duke Peter has done can be said to be a serious departure from the mainstream values of Europeans.

Moreover, it was also disliked by the royal families of various countries.

No one supported Duke Peter, because to support him was to support the opposition in the country.

They were encouraged to murder their own kings and then flee to another country.

Public opinion soon fermented, and the kings of the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and other countries sent telegrams to the Prussian government, asking them to extradite Duke Peter to Russia.

Frederick and Bismarck were helpless, and Duke Peter was like a hot potato at this time.

No matter what you do, it's not right!

Others don't know, they know.

Duke Peter's peace talks are true, but treason is a no-brainer.

They had tried to speak for Duke Peter, but as soon as the words of justification were spoken, they were drowned out by the overwhelming crusade.

Fortunately!

Frederick and Bismarck felt that this Duke Peter was still useful, and they insisted on carrying the media and did not let go, that is, they did not send Duke Peter back to Russia.

Even though the waves of public opinion were higher and higher, these two still pretended to be dead and did not speak.

Even Bismarck was kept silent when he was blocked by reporters and asked questions.

Seeing Bismarck's tragic condition, Mula secretly wiped the sweat from her forehead.

Once upon a time, he thought about getting Duke Peter to France.

Because on the opposite side of the French army, there were many old subordinates of Duke Peter.

Let him persuade these people to surrender, and it is estimated that he will rebel against some Russian troops.

Now it seems that it is really a wise move not to get this to France.

After the solemn funeral, this one in Russia can be regarded as a new drum and a new opening.

In the chaos of the previous days, many nobles died.

The upper echelons of Russia in Moscow were almost slaughtered.

Li Xiao took the opportunity to get a lot of civilian backgrounds. People who have an extremely favorable impression of Daming have risen to the top of Russia.

On the army side, Kutuzov was the only leader.

The tsar was young, he was the regent of the Russian Empire.

Nominally, Kutuzov controls all the power in Russia.

But in reality, Kutuzov can only control the army.

For a time, Russia fell more to the Ming Dynasty from top to bottom. There have even been remarks that they want Russia to join the Ming Dynasty as a whole and become a subject state of the Ming Dynasty.

After seeing how things have changed over the past few days, Li Xiao admires Sun Chengzong very much.

This old fellow, thousands of miles away, can judge things so accurately.

It's really creepy!

"From the year we retreated in Paris, we have been secretly building this team.

Over the years, they have used the pen as a gun, and they have indeed made a lot of achievements.

Just like this time, many articles in Western newspapers were actually written by them.

Recently, they are preparing to put renewed pressure on Prussia for the extradition of Duke Peter. ”

"It's not a big deal!

We can ask these people to write some anti-war songs, choreograph some anti-war musicals and so on.

Oh, and you can also let talented people write songs to sing.

War!

In fact, it is beating people's hearts and causing chaos within the countries of Western Europe, which is very meaningful.

It's a good idea to get in touch with the Gypsies and give them some money to put on an anti-war show.

Focus on the misery of the soldiers who died in the war.

Their families have lost their financial resources and have become so poor.

And the government, which sent them to the front, turned a blind eye to the families of the deceased.

And also!

Two couples before the war, separated because of the war. Women were forced to become prostitutes because of life, and men were disabled because of the war.

Anyway, it's the kind of story that you let their imagination use to choreograph casually.

In this matter, the funds must be allocated in full.

In addition, people who have made outstanding contributions. You can take your immediate family with you, and after the war, you can settle in the subject country of the Ming Dynasty.

If they are arrested by their government, they can also be arranged to come to Daming now. ”

"We can also publicize by the way, Daming's preferential treatment for the bereaved in the game. A comparison between the two sides will dampen the morale of Western Europeans even more. ”

Clever green beads, immediately know what the following point is.

"Hmmm! This proposal is good.

You can promote Daming by the way, but don't overdo it.

It is important for them to stay in the newspapers of Western Europe, and we need them to stay in hiding for a long time, why they are talking, and to make them chaotic from within.

And also!

These people left their kingdom and sent them all to India.

You can give more money, but they are not allowed to set foot in the Ming Dynasty.

Grandma's, these people are tumors, they are plagues.

Let them come to the Ming Dynasty, and they will teach our people badly. ”

"No!" Lu Zhu nodded, and had to admit that these famous European scholars, professors and other figures were experts in demagogy.

Sometimes their criticism of their government makes sense even to Green Beads.

"Killing people with soft knives is sometimes more powerful than killing people with real knives and guns on the battlefield.

It's really broken down the morale of the coalition forces, and you're a miracle. ”

Li Xiao is very satisfied with this operation!

The green beads fully mobilized the nails that Daming had buried in European countries, and used newspapers as weapons to beat European countries with a stick.

It is estimated that the emperors of European countries have not understood where the starting point of this turmoil is.

Because everything seems so reasonable, the newspaper is promoting the idea of loyalty and patriotism, which is in line with their interests.

At the same time, Duke Peter was really in Prussia, which also made Li Xiao's heart secretly cold.

If it weren't for Rasputin's desperate kidnapping of Brauchitsch out of jealousy, Daming would still be in the dark.

Once the Russian army suddenly turns back, the front line will be opened.

The Russian army attacked command posts, logistics supply bases, as well as major road bridges.

Then the million-strong army of the Ming Dynasty in Russia will be swallowed up by a flood-like coalition army.

These people are the fruits of the Ming Dynasty's military reform over the years.

If that happens, 20 years of talent accumulation will be ruined.

The Ming defense line could only retreat all the way along the Central Asian Railway back to the Western Regions.

The pace of the rise of the Ming Empire will be interrupted.

Li Xiao didn't dare to imagine the consequences after the incident.

Even his safety will be a big concern.

Catherina, Lao Tzu is also good to you...

Help you stabilize the situation at home and help you deal with the invasion of Europe. Even helped Russia to return the Transcaucasus, which had already been ceded out.

But this girl still chose to betray herself at a critical moment.

Only women and villains are difficult to raise!

The ancestor is too right, in the future, when dealing with women, you must be careful, they are too fickle.

Spring is approaching, and it is necessary to begin to deal with the enemy's spring offensive.

Especially on the northern front, the Prussians waited for a winter, waiting for the spring to start.

They stockpiled a large amount of ammunition, food and all kinds of war materials in Smolensk on the Western Front.

If there is a real fight, it is really difficult to say whether Moscow will be able to hold it.

After all, there are too many of them!

Li Xiao didn't know that at this time, there was already a lot of noise in the Prussian Command.

In this incident, for Prussia, the biggest loss was actually the General Staff.

The Prussians like to make plans!

At the beginning of his contact with Duke Peter, Frederick ordered Moltke to make a detailed battle plan.

After the First Council of Stettin, Frederick revealed this to Moltke.

Moltke, who was excited, immediately led the staff officers of the General Staff to work overtime to formulate a plan.

Can......!

But after the negotiations were completed, there were new changes on the Russian side.

Empress Catherine died, and Duke Peter, who came as a guest, became an exiled duke.

A well-prepared plan turned into a pile of waste paper overnight.

Moltke was so angry that he almost vomited blood, this was the battle plan he and his staff had worked so hard to come up with.

But since things have changed, he can only accept this fact.

Everything can only be fought according to the original plan of the spring operation.

But in that case, God knows how many casualties there will be.

Li Xiao worked late at Xingyuan, and spent the whole day studying the map and the preparations of various units.

Combined with the battlefield situation, the spring battle plan was decided.

At twelve o'clock in the night, the orderly brought in plates of steaming dumplings.

This made Li Xi a little surprised, it turned out that today was the Chinese New Year's Eve.

The sound of firecrackers sounded outside, the Russians will not say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, this day of the New Year is the patent of the Ming people.

Pulling back the heavy curtains, Li Xiao saw fireworks blooming in the sky.

On the ground, dozens of firecrackers with tens of thousands of rings were ignited.

The sound of "crackling" made the Russians nervous, and they thought that the Prussians had attacked.

Even Kutuzov called to ask what was going on.

"It's okay, today is the New Year of Daming, and the boys are celebrating."
