    "Commander-in-Chief, what happened so late?" The one who hurried over was Army General Jiang Hongyu, Chief of Staff and Logistics Commander of the Allied Powers. Like Wang Geng, he did not give himself alone in Samara.  Arrange a residence or villa. His residence is the same as that of other mid-level and senior officers in the coalition headquarters, in a building in the headquarters compound, but unlike Wang Geng, who arranged his official residence directly in the headquarters office building.  .

    "Chief of Staff, it's nothing serious. Come on, sit down first and get the cigarette yourself!" Wang Geng laughed and stood up from behind the desk. He asked Jiang Hongyu to sit on the sofa in front of the office window and ordered  The guard brought the chief of staff a cup of coffee.

    Many Chinese generals in the coalition were used to drinking tea, but since joining the war, under the influence of Wang Geng, the commander-in-chief who returned from West Point in the United States, many of them have also started to drink coffee. Of course, coalition logistics  There are tea bags and coffee in the ration, but only the coffee in the office of Commander-in-Chief Wang Geng is the most fragrant coffee imported from Colombia.

    Jiang Hongyu took his seat and saw Wang Geng take out a cigar. He picked up a match from the coffee table and struck a fire with ease. He lit a cigarette for his commander-in-chief and followed Wang Geng to his seat.  , this familiar man took out an American Camel cigarette from the cigarette can on the coffee table, smiled and lit it. The two of them took a few puffs of cigarettes, and said nothing for a while.

    There was a voice outside the door. Pepelyayev, the Prime Minister of the federal government cabinet, appeared at the door panting, "Oh, my Commander-in-Chief, what happened? Fortunately, my home is close to the headquarters, otherwise  If you shout like this suddenly, it will take half an hour for me to come over."

    "I said Prime Minister Pepe, don't stay home all the time when you have nothing to do. The commander-in-chief is still in the office, so you dare to take the opportunity of having dinner and leave without looking back? I know you have a lot of beautiful maids, but this  His Excellency Taro Utsunomiya has gone to the front line now. Is it possible that there are other distinguished guests coming to your house tonight? "Jiang Hongyu and Pepeliaev are also very familiar with each other, so they started joking when they met.

    Pepelyaev blushed. In fact, there were many guests at his house tonight, and they were holding a dance. Otherwise, he would not have left work and left the headquarters building so early in the evening. Although Wang Geng did not agree  Looking for someone in the coalition headquarters to replace him as the federal foreign minister. In fact, the shadow foreign minister of the Volga Federation can be regarded as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, the king himself.

    As soon as this Lord returned from the United States last year, he was a good handler in diplomacy. The errand of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which supervised the negotiations between the five countries, is still one of the responsibilities of this uncrowned king of Asia with countless titles and halo. As a member of the Volga Federation  The commander-in-chief of the armed forces, Wang Geng is actually the shadow head of the alliance. On such major matters as federal diplomacy, Pepe would not dare to make the decision without permission even if he had the courage. In fact, the government telegraph and call center of the entire Volga Federation itself is the Allied Powers  Part of the Allied Telecommunications Confidential Center.

    "Prime Minister Pepe, you know how busy you are, so it won't be too late for me to find you tomorrow. But since you're already here, it's better to invite you two to come. The main thing is to discuss it. Moscow just sent a telegram saying that  Purchase Chinese-style weapons and ammunition from us, and the Tsar's family will pay for the goods, so I invited you to come and see what everyone thinks!" Wang Geng waited for Pepelyaev to sit down, wiping his sweat, and said the topic with a smile.  .

    "Exchange the Tsar's family for our arms?" Jiang Hongyu and Peipei shouted in unison, their voices full of surprise.

    "That's what it means. Chicherin's telegram was well written. He said that although the lives of the Tsar's family were not worth a few dollars, Tsar Nicholas II was the dictatorial monarch of Tsarist Russia, and the gold in his name belonged to him.  There must be at least thousands of tons. When they handed over the Tsar to us, they handed over the owner of these thousands of tons of gold to us. Of course, the gold may not be in the hands of Nicholas II at this time, but Moscow  Believing that we can get the gold we need through the Tsar, they suggested exchanging the Tsar for our arms!¡±

    Wang Geng took the trouble to explain to Chief of Staff Jiang Hongyu and Federal Cabinet Prime Minister Pepelyaev the basis for Moscow¡¯s position and starting point in the plan to exchange the tsar for arms that attracted many circles in the call from Moscow.

    Jiang Hongyu took the telegram manuscript placed on the coffee table and read it, raised his head and frowned slightly, saying,

    "It is simply inexplicable. The gold in Tsarist Russia belongs to the Russian treasury. The Tsar's personal wealth has long been confiscated and deprived of by the Bolsheviks. The gold in the treasury has been inherited and managed by Kolchak's All-Russian Provisional Government. Now  It has already been used to exchange our aid and pay for the military expenses of the Allied Powers. Does this gold have anything to do with Tsar Nicholas II?"

    ? ?Geng smiled and said nothing, just smoking a cigar. Pepelyayev, the federal prime minister, took the telegram from Jiang Hongyu with a solemn expression. After reading it carefully, he raised his head  He started to say anxiously,

    "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, I think Moscow has no good intentions. It is diverting attention and sowing discord between us and the All-Russian Provisional Government in Kazan. The Czar's gold was declared to belong to the Russian treasury when he stepped down last year.  , belongs to all Russian people!

    Later, the All-Russian Provisional Government under Kolchak inherited the mantle of Kerensky's Provisional Government. No matter how much the gold is calculated, it has nothing to do with the Tsarist family or individuals. Moscow is not only a free hand, but also wants to provoke us.  We can never agree to internal unity!  "

    While Pepelyaev was shouting righteously and firmly against the Czar's arms-exchange deal, he was muttering to himself that the gold had been transported to the underground vault of the Bank of China in the Northern Federal Autonomous Region of China not long before the Battle of Ufa.  Well, it is a lawsuit. It is also a muddled lawsuit between the Allied Allied Forces and Kolchak's All-Russian Provisional Government in Kazan. It has nothing to do with Moscow. The other party is simply bullying people and is targeting the Volga Federal Republic.  of!

    "You two have misunderstood. Of course I will not be so stupid as to think that the gold entrusted to us by Kazan before the Battle of Ufa belongs to Tsar Nicholas II personally, so sending the Tsar here is equivalent to paying thousands  tons of gold. This is of course the wishful thinking of the Soviet government in Moscow. Don¡¯t take it seriously. I invite you here. The main purpose is to discuss and see whether the Tsar should accept it and whether we should sell some weapons to Moscow in the form of private trade.  ammunition!"
