Chapter 327 Prerequisites for Loans

PS: It's a little late today, sorry.

"Why, Nicholas II still won't leave, what the hell is he thinking?" said Wendesi, frowning as he looked at the report in his hand.

Now it can be said that when the supervision of the Ni Er family is most relaxed, with China's power in Russia, it is possible to fish out their whole family, but the premise is that they are willing to cooperate. After all, that is the heart of Russia, and even if the Russian Provisional Government is stupid, it is impossible to let the Chinese do whatever they want there. And you also have to consider the mood of the Ni Er family, Mr. Wen wants to get them to do things for them, and the effect of coming over voluntarily and kidnapping them is completely different.

Gu Xiaoqing, the deputy secretary-general in charge of intelligence projects, said: "Yes, there is still no promise. But according to the frontline staff, when his son received treatment from us and his physical condition improved significantly, his attitude had softened. ”

"As for his thoughts, according to the analysis of our expert group, the biggest possibility is the issue of face. The abdication hit him hard, and the gap between reality and psychological expectations made him unable to accept the fact that he was abandoned by the people in the near future. And in his mind, the best place to go is the UK, and we may not be on his shortlist at all. ”

For this operation, the intelligence system has also set up experts, including many experts who specialize in target analysis, including the target's behavioral habits and psychology. Ni Er is a key target, and there are seven or eight experts who specifically analyze him, including sociologists, psychologists, and other experts.

"Hehehe...... Wen Desi sneered a few times, and said disdainfully: "At this time, can't you put down the stinky shelf." He deserves to be Wei Er's cousin, and they are all the same middle two ......"

Gu Xiaoqing said with a smile: "Mr. Wen, and he still has some luck with the reset......

"He still wants to be reinstated?" Hmph, why are you afraid of killing the whole family......" Wen Deji was very speechless.

It is difficult to understand Nier's thoughts with Wen Dehe's thinking, and when Du Nima arrives at this time, do you still expect the Russians to welcome you back to the restoration? If the Bu Party comes to power, it will be the rhythm of the whole family killed.

"It's really troublesome, when the interruption continues, I now know why he was ousted from power......" Wen Deji thought for a while, and had to say: "Let the front line strengthen monitoring, and at the same time the manpower of the operation must be ready." If something is wrong, even if it is tied up, they must be tied up. By the way, how is the path of escape arranged?"

Gu Xiaoqing pulled up a copy of the text from the computer and introduced: "Oh, Mr. Wen. Now we have prepared three routes, one is to send them directly from Petrograd to Urumqi in Xinjiang by airship. The second way, still by air, sent them first to Persia and then by rail to our country. The third route was to take them to Sweden by plane, and then by sea, first by submarine to the Red Sea Special Zone. Or just change to an airship in Sweden to Greece and then fly directly to Persia......"

"Well, so be it, we'll just have to wait and see what happens. ”

Wen Deji began to look at the map again, and began to think about his next move.

He was going to fish out Ni'er's family, of course, there was a purpose, otherwise he and Ni'er were not familiar with each other, so why bother with this effort.

The Ni Er family is the leader he specially prepared for the upcoming White Russia, or a spiritual symbol or a mascot or something, anyway, that's what it means. Wen Desi knows very well that in the history of the original time and space, the reason why the White Russians collapsed so quickly was that they lacked a core that could convince all forces, and it was natural that the Red Russia could not be organized without a leader.

For White Russia is not a monolith in itself, but a loose group of all kinds of opponents. Among them were the royalists who supported the tsar, militarists, anarchists, bourgeois democrats, yeoman farmers and even moderate socialists. Trying to knead such a messy plate of loose sand is definitely not a personnel matter. I'm afraid that apart from the direct members of the Romanov family, who have ruled Russia for three hundred years, can use the orthodox name accumulated over the years to reluctantly accept these guys, there is no one else who has the ability to do this.

For China, a strong Russia, whether it was a white Tsarist Russia or a red Soviet Union, was absolutely not in China's interests. Only a divided and declining Russia is a good Russia. It would be foolish not to take advantage of this rare opportunity to split this polar bear into n.

In fact, it is not only China that hopes that Mao Xiong will be in such a slump, otherwise how could there be any Allied intervention in the original time and space? To be honest, European countries definitely want Russia to disintegrate more than China, and the "Russophobia" of Europeans is quite strict.

It's just that at that time, the First World War had just ended, and everyone was injured, and it was impossible to show much strength to intervene, and White Russia was too wasteful, so in the end, he had to pinch his nose and accept the reality. The Beiyang government was too weak at that time, and although it participated in the Entente intervention army, it did not make any oil except for stabilizing Outer Mongolia.

China here is the second largest industrial country in the world, and its strength is far from being comparable to that of the Beiyang government in the original time and space. Mr. Wen had already prepared pots and pans, knives, forks, chopsticks and something, and took this opportunity to grab a handful.

........................................................................

Petrograd, Chinese Embassy in Russia.

Today, Kerensky came to the Chinese embassy again, and he came to ask for assistance. Although the revolution in Russia has succeeded and the Tsar has stepped down, the whole society is still in disorder, the economic situation is even worse than before the revolution, and the shortage of food, fuel and clothing is still the same, and the situation is even worse.

Because before the revolution there were still some productive forces, but now everyone is making a revolution, how can they still be in the mood to engage in production? How cool it is to engage in revolution!

After the collapse of the Tsarist government, the Duma and the Petrelgrad Soviet, which had belonged to the government, began to compete for the leadership of the government, and the two sides finally reconciled and decided to form a provisional government. But in fact, this provisional government is a very strange existence, because it has both left and right factions, and the strength of the two sides is close, so it often shows the symptoms of "schizophrenia", and it is not able to formulate any decisive policies at all.

As a result, the Provisional Government's ability to govern was very limited, and there were frequent cases of mutual involvement. In this case, it is already thankful that the society can still maintain basic stability, where is there still the ability to organize the resumption of production, coordinate logistics and so on.

What should I do? The Provisional Government soon appealed to the Entente for help.

The Entente were also willing to help in this matter, but they were now too busy to take care of themselves! Britain had just opened Germany's naval blockade at this time, and France was still fighting a vicious war with Germany, and even if they were willing to help, they had very limited things in their hands, and the most important thing was that they could not send a large amount of supplies to Russia, and now the Allies had completely separated them from Russia.

As for Japan's poor sling, don't count on it, they themselves are eating relief and relying on the population to sell money, not to mention that with their virtue and the relationship between the two countries, I am afraid that even if they have money, they will be reluctant to help Maozi.

At present, the United States is the only Entente country that has the ability to help, but the United States is too far away. The nearest route to the Arctic Ocean is definitely not a comfortable route, and there is a lot of risk to get there from here. If you take the Far Eastern route, you will have to cross the Pacific Ocean. Moreover, the capacity of the Trans-Siberian Railway is extremely limited, coupled with the chaos in Russia now, the dispatch of the railway is even more messy, and the logistics of the woolly bear have always been known for being rough and chaotic. Even if the United States had shipped things to Vladivostok, I am afraid that it would have been difficult for the Russians to send them to Petrograd and other cities.

After this back and forth, the Entente had no choice but to ask for help from China, the largest neutral country. This is because China and Russia had built a joint venture with Russia the year before last to build a trade railway from Urumqi to Omsk, Tyumen, and Yekaterinburg, and if supplies were transported from China, the distance would be greatly saved. This railway is according to the 2 of China. 5 meters wide gauge repair, the carrying capacity is very large. The supplies only need to be transferred once in Yekaterinburg, which is much easier than crossing the Pacific.

Of course, China is also very happy to do this kind of business, but only real money and silver can be done, and paper money such as rubles, pounds, and francs are not recognized. But what the Provisional Government lacks now is real money. Yes, they still have a few hundred tons of gold in their central bank vaults, but this is the last reserve of a country, and it must not be touched lightly. Relying on the 10 tons of gold aid loan handed over to China by the United States is a drop in the bucket for a big country like Russia. Ten tons of gold is only 13.3 million Chinese dollars, what can you buy?

Therefore, now the Russian Provisional Government is preparing to obtain a low-interest loan of 200 million Chinese dollars from China, which will be used exclusively for the purchase of various daily necessities.

Because this matter is very important, Kerensky, a powerful person, personally came to talk about it. In addition to attaching importance to this matter, there is also another reason, that is, Lao Ke's confidence in his eloquence. He is a lawyer by training, and has previously served as a defense lawyer for many opposition politicians. In his opinion, there is probably no second one in the provisional government who can compare with him. Well, there is also a Ulyanov of the cloth party, who is also a bull fork figure with a mouth cannon max, but Uncle Ulyanov can't be called.

On China's side, he was received by Ambassador Ye Xingqi and Foreign Ministry Special Envoy Gu Weijun.

After greeting each other for a few days, Kerensky began to talk about the loan, and he puffed up his tongue and gushed endlessly: "Mr. Ambassador, Mr. Special Envoy." Over the years, your country has imported a large number of goods from our country every year, and the trade volume has been rising every year, exceeding 100 million Chinese yuan before the war. On the basis of bilateral trade of this magnitude, the loan of 200 million Chinese dollars has no impact on your country, and this loan is only equivalent to the payment of goods in advance......"

However, everyone eats by mouth, and the defense power of Ye Gu's mouth cannon is also close to full value, which can be said to be immobile to China.

Gu Weijun calmly pointed out: "Mr. Minister, business transactions and aid loans should not be confused......

Ye Xingqing said even more bluntly in Russian: "Mr. Minister, 200 million Chinese yuan is by no means a small number. If we want to provide this loan, it is not impossible. But aid of this magnitude, our country will only be open to trusted friends. Your country must first become a trusted friend of China before it can obtain such a loan......"

Kerensky was also a smart guy and immediately understood that this was an offer. He pushed the boat and asked, "May I ask Mr. Ambassador, what is the standard of this friend?"

"Our friend standard is very simple, the most important thing is that there is no territorial dispute with our country, as long as it meets this article, other issues are easy to talk ......about," Ye Xingqi said with a smile.

Kerensky thought for a moment and said: "Isn't the border between China and China already determined? I don't remember any other problems......

Ye Xingqing shook his head and said, "No, no, no, you're mistaken. What you and I have determined is only the actual control line, not the border line recognized by our country. At present, part of the border between our two countries is based on some previously unequal treaties, and although my Government acknowledges your country's de facto control over these areas, it does not consider these treaties to be legitimate......"

"Our condition is very simple, restore the border between the two countries to the state it ......was before 1858," Gu Weijun said, taking out a map and spreading it on the table, pointing to the map. This is a map of the border between China and Russia, which clearly marks the territory that Russia acquired from the Qing Dynasty after 1858 through several unequal treaties in Guò.

The first was the Sino-Russian Treaty of Aihui, an unequal treaty signed between Tsarist Russia and the Qing Dynasty at Aihui (Heihe) on May 28, 1858, which resulted in the loss of about 600,000 square kilometers of territory north of the Heilongjiang River and south of the Outer Khing'an Mountains (i.e., the Outer Northeast). It is the treaty with the largest number of territorial cedes in China's modern history.

The second was the Sino-Russian Treaty of Beijing, an unequal treaty signed in Beijing on November 14, 1860 (the 10th year of Xianfeng). The treaty allowed the Qing government to confirm the legitimacy of the Treaty of Aihun and to recede about 400,000 square kilometers of territory east of the Ussuri River, including Sakhalin.

The third is the "Sino-Russian Treaty on the Survey and Demarcation of the Northwest Boundary", also known as the "Tacheng Protocol", which was signed on October 7, 1864 (the third year of Tongzhi). As a result, Tsarist Russia seized about 440,000 square kilometers of territory east and south of Lake Balkhash in northwestern China and north and south of Lake Zaisan (Wulianghai Shizuoling).

The fourth was the Treaty of Ili, February 24, 1881 (the seventh year of Guangxu). The treaty allowed Russia to occupy more than 70,000 square kilometers of territory northeast of Tacheng and west of Ili and Kashgar.

In fact, in the history of the original time and space, in 1911, there was also a "Manchurian Boundary Covenant", and Maozi ate several hundred square kilometers. Of course, there is no such treaty on this plane.

Looking at this map, Kerensky's face turned green all of a sudden, and he now understood the calculations of the Chinese.

It's so despicable! He actually wants to take advantage of our Great Russia! He immediately jumped up and shouted: "This is impossible...... These treaties are all legal, both sides have implemented them, and this is impossible to change!"
