Chapter 328 Things change

The second son of the emperor, Pu Ying, who suffered the most serious setback in his life, also met again a few years later, the eldest brother he looked down upon, the current king of the New Mongolian Kingdom.

The railway between Beijing and Mongolia is still under construction. Along the way, watching the construction workers in Russia, Japan, and Central Asia working hard under the coercion of guns by soldiers. Pu Ying, who had already felt the change in Liangbi's attitude towards him, occasionally felt the same sadness. This feeling was even stronger after Liangbi left Beijing and announced the secret decree to him on the train. Although Liangbi took care of his face, there were probably not many people who knew about this on the train, Pu Ying was not a fool. Of course, he knew that paper could not contain the fire. With the decrease in the number of appearances in newspapers and other media, the decline in the supply regulations of Prince Yi's house, and the news that Liangbi had sent back to Russia without him, Pu Ying, his fate would not be able to be hidden for a long time.

Before leaving Beijing, he already knew that the three ministers of the cabinet had been under house arrest. After the three were released, he heard what Liangbi said. The smile of Liangbi was gentle, but the ugly word of the poem almost made him feel a little overeating and angry: "Yangsui is still a person who cares about his old love. Today, the slave received the news that Dai Xiang Yuan Xiang and Qu Xiang had already returned home. The prince is a person who knows the past. When he was young, he might have to kill many people. Now, who can say that this is not the grace of the emperor? So, second brother, don't think too much. Your prince is still retained. The servants still regard you as your master. Master.

After arriving in Mengjing, I thought about the way to admit my mistakes and be more considerate to Master Long Live. Maybe one day the emperor will give me kindness. Master, you are still our master. The slaves know that taking a train is not a pleasure. If the master has any shortcomings, I will arrange it for you. But just a little bit, the servants are not rigorous. If the master has something to say or not, it will be a trivial matter. The servants have lost their heads. It is not a big deal to lose their heads for Master Long Live. But I am afraid that Master, your meaning will be passed on by the villain and will be passed on to Master Long Live. What should I do if you suffer hardships?"

After he said this, Pu Ying knew that in the past few days, he could not help but make some evil fire in the carriage and cursed a few words that should not be scolded. But he was not afraid. The serious 800-year-old golden branches, jade leaves, dragons and wind grandsons, and the Manchus also talked about his demeanor. Even if the sky fell, he could not panic on his face. He squirted his snuff and smiled contemptuously. Liang Bi was sprayed on his face, and he was stunned for a moment and was not angry. He smiled and went out.

A few days later, he changed to Chukuboxing and then moved to the carriage of the New Mongolian Kingdom. When he arrived in Mengjing, the war situation in the west became a little erected in early August and fell into the old dull confrontation pattern. However, affairs in the Middle East showed signs of vigorous development. Under the leadership of General Alanby, the British army frequently presented some unfavorable results that seemed to be unfavorable to the Allies Group on the newsprint. The Arab Kingdom, which was once very close to the Empire, began to show a tilt towards Britain, which also made Pu

Ying seemed a little anxious. He had met Pu Hua several times, and he was talking about this problem. Pu Hua obviously agreed with him, but it was just a bottom line - he didn't write a letter to Beijing and refused to report it on his behalf. Pu Hua looked gentle, but he was very tough inside. If you force him, he always looked smiling. In addition, the situation of the host and the guest is no longer the same as in Beijing as before. After saying too much, Pu Hua got up and left, but just told his subordinates to treat his younger brother who was new to the distance.

After a while, Pu Ying wrote a tens of thousands of comments based on the pitiful information he knew, following the thoughts of the princess in his palace and some German staff members every day, plus the content of regret and missing the emperor Ama and his mother. He made up his mind to ask him to submit the comment to Beijing next time when he met Pu Hua.

Unexpectedly, after Pu Hua read that night, he turned to himself regardless of his brother's eyes as if he was looking at his enemies for many years, and then he gathered under the lamp. He burned the memorial that Pu Ying had written for several days. While asking Pu Ying to hold him to prevent him from attacking him from letting go of Pu Ying, he sighed heavily and said, "Second, you haven't grown up yet. Are you trying to anger the emperor to death, or kill your elder brother me?"

Pu Ying smiled coldly and said, "You will burn it if you are burned. If you are unwilling to help, you will not help. If you are not brotherly, what are you doing to say these alarmist words?"

"Brother, you also know the will of the Emperor Ama. In addition to not letting you go out, I have treated you badly for a long time?" Pu Hua sighed again, "Being a brother is afraid that you will mislead others and yourself! It is not enough that the three ministers of the cabinet are all in your hands. You still have to deal with your elder brother? You don't know what the deep meaning of Emperor Ama's punishment is? Pu Ying, you are the second son of the emperor of China, not the crown prince of Germany! Think about it carefully, why did the Emperor Ama not intend to use troops against India while saying that,

While allowing the Second Front Army to grazle sheep in the south? Do you think the Emperor Ahma really can't control the army as you think? Joke! That's the Royal Army!" He said, "When I was still in Beijing in the past, you were wary of me being afraid that I would take your seat. Now that I have arrived in Mengjing, what are you afraid of? Are you afraid of the third brother? What army do you have to connect with? While the emperor took the Three Majors who were intentional constitutional, he immediately announced that he would prepare for constitutionalism. Haven't you ever thought about the reason? The emperor is afraid of you..."

"Afraid of me?" Looking at Pu Hua, whose status is not just different now, Pu Ying was stunned on the spot and murmured: "I have no intention of being unfavorable to Emperor Ama. He is still the emperor of my China..."

"You still don't understand." Pu Hua shook his head and threw down a stack of mansions to report: "Look at his skills. If you learn 100% of the time, you won't be here today. He is afraid that you will harm the country, and your memorials-" pointed to the ashes and said: "It's still a disaster for the country! If you say I'll present it for you, what will the Master Long live? You dare to spread rumors that you are a decisive heir? Second brother, think about what would the country look like if your rebellious plan is really done?" After that, he turned around and left, leaving only the stupid Puying.

Picking up the large volume of the mansion, the top was the news of Liang Bi whom he disliked the most along the way. Liang Bi announced in Moscow that China would fulfill the initiative of the peaceful world of Beijing-China-US summit that had just ended, and he was fortunate to become the first executor of this plan. His mission was to mediate the Russian civil war. Liang Bi received a high-profile reception from His Majesty the Tsar and the head of government in Moscow. The meeting gift brought by Liang Bi was a batch of Russia's scarce daily necessities, including food and some medicines. He also called in Moscow that in the winter season when it was not suitable for combat, both Moscow and St. Petersburg could send representatives to Beijing to attend the peace meeting in order to seek a peaceful solution to the civil war between Russia's domestic families.

Another document also shows that Lieutenant Bai Chongxi, the special and plenipotent representative of the Chinese Empire, has arrived in Riyadh and discussed with His Majesty Saudi Arabia's King of the Arab Kingdom on the issue of the Arab border not being used as a battlefield for imperialism, and jointly issued a peaceful appeal, hoping that the British and Egyptian sides and Turkey sides would stop armed conflicts within the Arab Kingdom. His Majesty Saudi Arabia also called on the Arab people not to act as cannon fodder for the fight between the colonists. The Arab people should unite and strive to establish a unified, powerful, independent and independent Arab country under the leadership of the royal family.

There were many bad news later, such as the case of Siam British inciting natives to kill soldiers, the German navy began to launch shelling on the southern coast of India, the Chinese monks were killed by local natives on their way to India, an attempted coup in Afghanistan, etc. He could still keep his mind clear at first, but the later he found that he had left the German staff in the mansion to analyze, and he almost couldn't understand the things in this world.

What's wrong? His people are bullied overseas and are still calling for peace. The Second Front Army has been preparing for a long time. How long will it take to attack India? What's more, it's just to occupy a piece of land in southern India. How many troops do we need to use? We have been operating in Arabia for so long and have worked so hard to deliver money and goods. Why does it seem that Arabia has not yet called a vassal? What's the joint declaration with them? We should be ready to beat them up. As we thought about it, we remembered the words Pu Hua said, and the original clear ideas became a little blurred. He couldn't help but feel fear. Did he feel so stupid that he was so depressed all the way? Looking towards the south, Pu Ying collapsed on the ground.

Pu Ying gradually became confused about his thoughts, but Comrade Zhugaswiri never doubted his beliefs. Since he came into contact with that ideal, he had never doubted his ideals. Even in the worst era, his mentor and himself were arrested and imprisoned one after another. When his mentor was secretly executed in Georgia in the south, he did not think that his ideals would be unfulfilled. After staying in the islands in northern Japan for nearly ten years, he also grew a lot and thought that he would start his own experiments in Hokkaido first, but he always believed that his roots were in Russia, and only a great nation like Russia could be the first to set an example for the whole world.

After handing over a manuscript of the book "Anarchism or Socialism" to Chinese sympathizers for printing and publication, he came to Moscow with his setbacks in the current revolutionary stage and the causes of his formation, and soon arrived at the holy land of the revolution, St. Petersburg.

In his opinion, the current bad situation of the revolution is inseparable from the incompetence of his leaders and the choice of wrong routes. Trotsky was not so much a revolutionary, but an extremely liberal anarchist. His colleagues, Zinoviev and Kamenev, who are currently in charge of the military and political power of the revolutionary region, are also staunch elements in implementing the Trotsky line, which led to their disconnection from the working-peasant class, and they were unable to properly handle the affairs between the working-peasant class, and they could not gather the strength of the working-peasant class to win the victory of the national revolution.

The current weakness is precisely the result of this wrong route being implemented without fail. To change the current situation, we must first change the route. He has expressed this view to Liangbi in a tactful manner. Liangbi did not make a clear support for his request, but said that as a goodman, he lacked the qualification and ability to change the leadership of the mediated party. However, Liangbi, who seemed very friendly, still gave him a very attractive suggestion - Liangbi knew that in East Prussia, Germany, and even Poland, Lithuania, there were many Russian prisoners of war under the jurisdiction of his personal friend Zhang Zuolin. If necessary, he could arrange for him to go to Germany.

Comrade Jugaschweiri accepted the suggestion carefully and said that if the situation in St. Petersburg was not so good, he would be willing to travel to Germany.

And now, he has decided to go to Germany. The comrades in St. Petersburg did not seem to be very welcome to his return because his book "Anarchism or Socialism" directly attacked their leader Comrade Trotsky, and they believed that Comrade Jugaschviri maintained a wrong view and line, and had a strong desire to force the comrades to accept, which was dangerous to continue like this. Therefore, Jugaschviri was not welcomed and valued by the Politburo meeting. He only obtained a position of a member of the St. Petersburg Party Committee and a member of the Standing Committee of the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers Soviet Executive Bureau, which was too far apart for his expectations. Therefore, he hoped to find a different approach and bring a force in Germany that was truly led by the Party and fully able to exert the combat effectiveness of the working class back to Russia to help achieve the strategic goal of the success of the national revolution.

So, by mid-September, he had arrived in Germany. Here, he was allowed to meet and integrate with thousands of Russian prisoners of war who were helping German military factories to make bullets.

At this time, the German army had reversed the situation from the passiveness in early August. The entire German-occupied area of ​​Eastern Europe formed a large rear of production. Russia's decline gave Germany a huge strategic depth. Countless industrial facilities began to be built here, and continuously transported necessary materials for war to the Western frontlines through developed railway lines. With the statement of China-US joint statement on Britain's blockade of maritime channels, Germany was in a prosperous situation, and all factories were working overtime.

Obviously, the army ahead was brewing a large-scale counterattack. In such an environment, the most likely to produce the most determined warrior, Jugascheviri was very satisfied with his new environment. Although it was a little difficult, even if he received special care from the Chinese, he had to work for more than fourteen hours a day. Later, in order to commemorate this period of working and living like an iron man, he changed his name to the Russian "Iron Man", and his colleagues began to gradually accept his name.

In the cold weather in the north, only the Iron Man can maintain vigorous vitality in the fourth quarter of the year. However, in the Arab region of the Middle East, the scorching sun in midsummer can melt the Iron Man into iron.

Bai Chongxi had accumulated several layers of fine salt on his body. He got Mecca from Riya, and after transfer, he went to Gaza in the north - a battlefield where the British and Turkish troops were fighting fiercely. It was reborn here, and only obtained the territory of the Arab Kingdom recognized by the three major countries of China, the United States and Germany, but now it has become a battlefield for foreigners. Saudi Arabia is very pleased with his timely arrival, although he did not receive much armed support.

Disappointed, but he still sent a 300-man Taoside army to escort Bai Chongxi's less than 150 delegation to the north - his troops were unable to drive the British and Turks out together, and in his interests, it was a good thing for Britain and Turkey to fight both sides, but the Turks looked a little too weak. With the assistance of some Arabs, the British army seemed to be about to conquer Gaza and the holy city next to Jerusalem.

If the Holy City falls too smoothly into the hands of the British, it will not be so easy to recover in the future. So in comparison, the Saudi king is more willing to temporarily be controlled by the Turks. This is also the reason why he hit it off with Bai Chongxi. In addition to this escort force, he also sent nearly 70,000 mobile troops to observe the situation and wait for an opportunity. Some candidates who are familiar with local affairs were also assigned to Bai Chongxi for unified command, and the Chinese came forward to achieve their goals. This is very important for the Arabs, which are not strong enough at present. Who knows what the British will do in the future? It is not a good thing to tear them apart too early.

An army of British troops currently occupy most of Transjordan, that is, East Palestine. Although other Arabs are angry about this situation, with the help of Mr. Lawrence, who had just been promoted to major, the British army found a very welcoming friend there - the local tyrant Abdullah family. The chief of this family Abdullah was also supported as the newly established chief of the Transjordanian emirate. Under the current circumstances, the Abdullah family is no different from the traitor in the Arab world.

Bai Chongxi's initial plan was to find and unite the Arab tribes nearby, eliminate or restore the Abdullah family's kinship and take time to gain a foothold in the Trans-Jordan area to form practical help to the Turks and the coming Germans.

Whether his plan will be successful has a profound impact on whether Arab countries can continue to stand on a pro-China standpoint in the future, and even the national strategies of the entire Middle East. But now, even in the Forbidden City, I have not fully realized it.

Only after looking back on this history, I found that if Bai Chongxi could not succeed at this stage, the British could already support some large Arab tribes in the name of helping the Arabs drive away the Turkish rulers. In the future, they would be able to differentiate Arabs and build a large number of pro-British small Arab countries, and use this form to achieve control over the Middle East. If they could make the Chinese army suffer a great loss in India, the situation in the entire Middle East might be rewritten.

But I have not thought of this level yet. After ordering the troops to conduct strategic reconnaissance on some parts of southern India, the General Staff and the Army Department officially began to formulate plans with the German army on the land offensive. According to the German army's plan, a group of troops occupied Ceylon Island and Madras, Pondicherry, Kelifar on the southern end of the Indian Peninsula, and gradually controlled it. After completing the port transformation and material reserves in one year, the German Pacific Fleet could face the Arabian Sea directly and launch an attack on Eastern Africa at any time.

By then, the German land offensive will completely open up the lifeline of BB and assist Turkey in completely driving the British army into the Mediterranean. If the high seas fleet can complete the breakthrough of the British naval blockade, the remaining task is to see if Italy in the south can be taken down while attacking the British mainland. If the Austrians can successfully take Italy, then by around 1916, the strategic task of the German Navy will be to complete control of the Mediterranean.

The two overseas fulcrums of this plan are China's attack on India and China's support for Arab and Turkey. This strategy will never allow the British army to realize their strategic intentions. If Allenby's army really completes control over Gaza and Amman, the bb railway will become a broken road. And under the influence of this effect, the Middle East will completely become the British sphere of influence.

This result is also dangerous for China. The results of the Third Army will be difficult to play a further role. For the empire, if it cannot exert influence on the Middle East and maintain strategic deterrence to make it its own sphere of influence, then the results of the Third Front military's military offensive in the previous stage will never be as important as it seems now.

Under such circumstances, after receiving the report on the first phase of Bai Chongxi's optimistic situation, I was able to breathe a sigh of relief.
Chapter completed!
