On the outskirts of Kazan, Grizzly Manor.

The estate is located at the foot of Mount Visokaya on the eastern outskirts of Kazan, about 20 km from the city of Kazan. It was originally the holiday estate of a certain count, who fled abroad after the September Revolution, and now it was rightfully taken over by the Bruzza Bhudo government. Currently, Nicholas II's family is locked up in a villa on this estate.

After the February Revolution, although the family was placed under house arrest, they did not suffer much. The heads of the Provisional Government at that time, both Lvov and Kerensky, treated them well, and the Tsar's family was initially placed in the Tsars' village on the outskirts of the capital, where they lived in the Alexander Palace in great comfort, accompanied by many servants, and lived in the same daily life as in the court, except that they had no right to rule. In August 1917, the Kerensky government, in response to Soviet outcry and fearing that the Bruines would revolt, moved the family to the official residence in Tobolsk, Siberia.

After the September Revolution, Kerensky's government was overthrown by the Ulyanov Cloth Party. The Buzzaville regime hated Nicholas II to the core, and naturally it was impossible to treat him well, and the servants were cut one after another, and the supply was reduced. In the winter of 1917, the Tsar's family tasted the Russian cold for the first time. Entering the new year, the living conditions of the Tsar's family continued to deteriorate, and their food became the coarsest brown bread with potatoes and beetroot soup. Niji's desire to eat butter and drink coffee once a day was also rejected as "too corrupt and extravagant".

Not only did the standard of living deteriorate, but the family was often verbally abused and humiliated by the SS. But even so, Nicholas II still naively believed that even if he had nothing, as long as he survived this pass, he and his family could survive, and he even felt that the civil war of the Russian red and white forces would create a certain opportunity for the European royal relatives who came to rescue him. But he underestimated the thoroughness of the revolution of the Bruxes d'Affaires.

In the plan of the Cloth Party, Nissi had to be put to death. Not only as a representative of the tyrant, but also as a political need. In the eyes of the Brucellos, the Tsar's family was the best bargaining chip for the Russian White Army to restore imperial power, and once they were in the hands of the White Army, they would be able to unite the scattered White Army with the prestige of the imperial family for many years, and quickly rally the support of many European countries and royalist forces to confront the Red Army. As long as the Tsarist family survived, even if it did not go to the White Army, even if it went abroad, it would cause big trouble, because once they were supported by other European royal families to form a government in exile, it would be a great obstacle to the legitimacy of the Red regime.

Therefore Ni II must die, not only himself, but also his wife and children. The reason why they are not dead now is that the opinions of the top brass of the Burunos Aires are not yet unanimous.

Ulyanov believed that the existence of the Tsar was extremely detrimental to the nascent Soviet power, and that only the execution of the Tsar's entire family could completely destroy the chances of restoration of the old dynasty, and his opinion was to be executed immediately. Trotsky and others, on the other hand, believed that it was not appropriate to kill Ni Er directly, and it would not have a propaganda effect. They believed that the time should be chosen to follow the usual practice and procedure for the public trial of the Tsar, as was the case with Louis XVI in the French Revolution.

At present, the top leaders of the party are also very busy, and so many opposition parties in the country have to be pacified one by one, and they can't take care of this family for a while, so they are sent to Kazan, a place where the Red Army is seriously ill. Considering that the Red Army at this time also had a large number of officers and soldiers from the old army, and many of them supported or sympathized with the Tsar, in order to prevent accidents, they imprisoned the Tsar's family in the Grizzly Manor on the outskirts, guarded by the most specially selected and reliable workers' Red Guards. In the village 2 km away, there was also a battalion of Red Army troops with more than 20 trucks. As soon as there is a warning, they will arrive for reinforcements within ten minutes. And here in Kazan there are more than 80,000 Red Army, as long as that battalion can last an hour, the large forces in the city can rush to reinforce.

In the eyes of the Cloth Party, such an arrangement was foolproof, after all, the organized White Army around was all flown away, and it was simply impossible for a small group of troops to solve the guards of the manor in a short time. If it is a large force, it is impossible to hide from the surrounding Red Army troops, and I am afraid that it will be discovered before it has approached a hundred kilometers.

Today, as usual, a few guards were bored on the watchtower at the gate of the manor. These people are all hardcore politicians and very reliable cloth party hardcores, and although they are bored, they are still very responsible and vigilant around them. However, although they can monitor the roads around them, they cannot see the deep heights. At an altitude of 30,000 meters above them, in this hard-to-see area, a man-made object that was ahead of its time was slowly circling around the manor. It is using a variety of advanced technologies to perceive buildings, facilities, and all kinds of living organisms in the area, as well as plants and trees.

…………………………………………………………………………

At the foot of Mount Vysokaya, about 30 kilometers northeast of Grizzly Bear Manor, is a large lumber factory. Since the establishment of the People's Republic of China, a large number of logs have been imported from surrounding countries due to a large number of infrastructure projects and industrial needs. In these areas, boreal timber with a firm and heavy texture is extremely popular. As a result, several Chinese timber companies have set up their own logging yards and rough processing plants here.

Local loggers hired by Chinese companies haul the trees in trailers to the factory where they are peeled, debranched, rounded and dried before being made into semi-finished logs that are then sent back to China by rail in Guò. Until a few months ago, the timber mills were busy until after the Constituent Assembly, when the Chinese companies were completely torn apart.

After the civil war was in full swing, only the company "Lin Feng" remained in business. Because many workers had participated in the revolution, few of them were logging, and they could not find the wagons for transportation, and because the Soviet and Russian authorities wanted to confiscate all foreign companies, Lin Feng Company was still arguing with the authorities, and the entire company was in a state of semi-shutdown.

Zuo'an's car drove into the parking lot of the carpentry factory, and as soon as he stopped, he noticed that there was an additional Hummer off-road vehicle in the parking lot. This off-road vehicle is produced by Beijing Vehicle Factory in China, the car has superior performance, leather durable, simple and easy to learn, and has a great reputation in the world, not only in the domestic market in large quantities, but also exported to foreign countries in large quantities. Lin Feng Company also has this kind of car, but the car in front of him is definitely not.

"The ...... of the Russian Red Army" Zuo An looked at the license plate and livery of this car, and immediately knew its origin. Russia's economy is relatively tight, and the import volume of such vehicles is far less than that of other European and American powers, and basically only officers at the rank of colonel and above are equipped. "It seems that this time it's a mid-level officer......"

"Okay, comrades, this is our company's lumber mill......" Zuo An smiled and greeted the passengers in the back seat.

After the passengers got off the bus, the person in charge looked around and asked in a low voice, "Manager Zuo, are things ready?"

"Of course, Captain Zhong Liping. We all assembled it overnight, seven in all. Zuo An pouted at the side of Nunu. "That's the ...... under the canvas over there."

Zhong Liping looked in the direction he indicated, and it was a dozen piles of "semi-finished logs covered with canvas", well, it looked like "semi-finished logs covered with canvas". One of the canvases was half-covered, intentionally or unintentionally, revealing the already baked logs underneath.

"Before we take off, we need to turn on the ......," Zhong said.

Zuo An spread his hands, pointed to the Hummer off-road vehicle next to him and said, "I'm afraid I can only wait until the evening, not now." Although it is all our people, and the neighborhood is very remote, but now there are people from Soviet Russia......"

That's right, the people Zuo An brought from Kazan this time were all pilots who came from China. And those things disguised as piles of logs are specially modified "Y-1" transport aircraft. These planes were dismantled and quietly airdropped by airships at night a few days ago. As for why they didn't use airships directly, it was because these things were too big, there was no suitable landing site nearby, and at the same time, their speed was too slow, it would be difficult to run away when the time came, and people in Soviet Russia also had fighter jets.

After settling the pilots, Zuo An came to the office of the timber mill, and before he entered the door, he heard the voice of Xie Xiaochuan, the general manager of the company, from inside: "Comrade Ilyushinsky, this is the property of the People's Republic of China, the property of the Chinese people, and your country has no right to confiscate it!"

A middle-aged man's voice rang out: "Xie, I must make it clear that this is not directed against you and your country. It is an order from above that all the property of foreign companies must be handed over to us free of charge......"

Hearing that there were people inside, Zuo An didn't go in immediately, just stood at the door and waited.

"Isn't the Brucella a socialist regime? China is also a socialist country. This kind of behavior of your country is very unfriendly to China, which is also in the socialist camp! Our ambassador is negotiating with your government......"

At this moment, an impatient voice sounded: "Shut up! Hateful revisionists! Don't try to deceive us! Comrade Ulyanov said that you China is not a socialist country at all, but a revisionist country, a revisionist country as evil as imperialism! Yes, you are an imperialist country in the guise of socialism! The local soviets did not shoot you, but let you roll back to China with your belongings, which is already the greatest tolerance......

"All right, Comrade Tchaikov. The middle-aged man stopped his companion and said to Xie Xiaochuan: "Xie, you also heard, this is the decision of the Kazan Local Soviet. If you have any objections, you can respond to the Supreme Soviet, but we must carry them out until new orders come down. So, please cooperate with us. I'll give you 2 days to prepare, during which time you will pack your belongings and in two days our people will come to pick up the lumber mill. This is a formal written notice...... Okay, so let's take our leave......"

Soon, the door opened, and three Russians in Red Army uniforms came out of it. At the head was a colonel, whom Zoan recognized, was Ilyushinsky of the local Soviet, who was currently the local People's Commissar of Industry.

"Hello, Zuo ......" Ilyushinsky greeted Zuo An and walked away with his men. The captain beside him glared at Zuo An fiercely with the eyes of a class enemy, and let out a contemptuous snort from his nose.

"Social-imperialists in China!" and then he faintly heard such a string of Russian words. Zuo An shrugged indifferently, he had heard too much of this accusation from the Cloth Party, and it was not painful at all.

He opened the door and walked in, and saw Xie Xiaochuan sitting behind the desk with an expressionless face, so he said with a smile: "Old Xie, I'm back......"

Xie Xiaochuan raised his eyelids, sat down unchanged and asked, "Well, it's still smooth, right?"

"Fortunately, when I came back on the way, I passed by the Grizzly Manor, and I didn't notice any obvious changes...... "Zuo An walked to the closet, took out a bottle of kvass from it, opened the cap of the bottle with a bang, and drank it to himself. "Cut, it's better to drink our own kvass, this old man's stuff is really unreliable, and even his own signature goods are not as good as ours. ”

"Their kvass doesn't add carbon dioxide...... Xie Xiaochuan said lightly: "How about the people sent this time?"

Zuo An took a sip of kvass and said: "This time, it took a lot of money to send the eight people who were sent from the backbone of the Air Force and Navy, and all of them were high-level masters with more than 2,000 hours of flying experience. The above specifically requires that these people must be safe and there can be no losses. ”

"Of course, these pilots are worth more than gold weighing as much as them, and they are reluctant to lose in such a place...... Xie Xiaochuan nodded and said, "In two days, Maozi will come to receive it, so we must act in these two days." Okay, you go and inform all the cadres, and the meeting will be held in half an hour......"

………………………………………………

Half an hour later.

The basement of the lumber mill's office building, which was originally used as a storehouse for supplies, has been emptied and turned into a secret conference room. In the middle of the conference room was a large-scale model of a grizzly manor, around which a dozen people were talking.

“…… This is Grizzly Manor, where the Tsar's family was imprisoned. In order to prevent the Tsar from escaping or being rescued by the royalists, there was now a company and a half of about 150 workers' Red Guards, who were divided into four shifts in the morning, the first half of the afternoon, and the second half of the night. Grizzly Manor has four villas, and several houses, the one in which the Tsar's family is kept in the innermost. Heavy machine-gun emplacements were arranged in the attics of the three villas to the east, south and north, and two armored vehicles were placed on the perimeter of the villas......"

The speaker was a Russian, wearing a workers' Red Guard uniform, who was pointing to the model and carefully introducing it to the Chinese around him.

"Gentlemen, we must do everything we can to save the Tsar's family, the members of the Cloth Party who hate the Tsar will beat and insult them in various names, and last week they were beaten heavily by Prince Alexei for making a face at them, according to the imperial physician, Mr. Podogkin, Alexei suffered multiple soft tissue contusions all over his body, fortunately they did not dare to beat Alexei to death, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. Princess Tatyana went to get some food for her injured brother, and was insulted as a bitch by the commissar of the Red Guards, slapped in the face, and kicked. Oh God, such a kind princess can do it......"

The Russian had a sad and indignant look on his face. There is no doubt that this is a hardcore royalist who has infiltrated the Workers' Red Guards.

However, his love did not infect the Chinese next to him, and Xie Xiaochuan gently reminded beside him: "Mr. Valentin, we will start acting in the next few days, and we will do our best to rescue the Tsar." Now please continue to introduce the situation......"

"Okay, I'll move on......" Valentin wiped away tears and continued to explain.

For hundreds of years, in the minds of Russians, the tsar was their loving father, their "little father". Although the 1905 Winter Palace Massacre undermined the Tsar's image as a "loving father", the royal family still had a wide range of supporters, especially in the countryside. Well, by the way, in fact, Ni Er was responsible for the incident with the officials below, he was not in the Winter Palace at all, and he did not order the shooting of the marchers.

Valentin was a supporter of the Tsar, who had been seriously wounded on the Eastern Front in Europe and was sent to the army hospital converted from Catherine Palace for treatment. There, Empress Alexandena led two elderly princesses and many noble ladies to the hospital to take part in nursing work, and it was there that Valentin was treated by Princess Tatyana. Although he later became a member of the Red Guards, he did not change his allegiance to the imperial family, and there were many people like him in the Red Army, who secretly organized royalist organizations one after another.

When the tsar was sent to Kazan, through certain channels, Valentin and several comrades, who were usually very low-key, were also selected as "the most reliable revolutionaries" into the unit responsible for guarding the tsar, and became a platoon commander. But the strength of these organizations is still insufficient, they are still scattered, and it is impossible for them to succeed in rescuing the Tsar on their own, and they may even endanger the safety of the Tsar's family. It wasn't until last month that the Chinese in front of them contacted him through a reliable intermediary, which gave hope to the already desperate royalists, so they chose to cooperate with the Chinese in front of them.

After Valentin had finished briefing on the defense of Grizzly Manor, Xie Xiaochuan asked, "Mr. Valentin, you should be able to enter the barracks where the Red Guards are resting in the manor......, right?"

At this time, Xie Xiaochuan no longer had the slightest smell of businessmen, and his body exuded a dangerous aura. As the commander of the "Dragon's Tooth" special forces, he was actually sent to this ghost place for more than a year, and he had to pretend to be a timber merchant to run around in Russia and socialize with the local officials of Maozi, this kind of life is really fed up. Fortunately, this kind of day is finally over now, and when Ni Er's family is fished out, you can say goodbye to this kind of boring days.
