Chapter 1151 Introducing the wolf into the room
After the outbreak of the war, as hostile countries, Russia and the Kingdom of Prussia had both recalled their ambassadors. However, Russia also retained a small office in Berlin, the capital of Prussia, and a counselor from the previous Russian Embassy in the Kingdom of Prussia was responsible for it. This prevented the external ties between Russia and the Kingdom of Prussia from being cut off.
However, because the two countries were in conflict with the hostilities, the situation of this small office was not good. The Germans did not like them, and from time to time there were angry Germans attacking them. The office director and former counselor Yevgeny had been attacked many times. What made the Russians in this office even more unacceptable was that the situation was developing towards an extremely unfavorable side against Russia and the entire North Atlantic military alliance. If Russia was completely defeated, what would be the final result waiting for them? Many people did not dare to continue thinking.
"Your Excellency, this is a domestic telegram!" The telegrapher of the office handed over a telegram to Yevgeny.
This is a top-secret telegram sent from China, and it needs to be translated with a specially equipped password book. Yevgeny took the telegram and came to his office and began to translate the telegram word by word. It took him two hours to translate the telegram, and he was so busy that he was sweating. This was mainly because the content of the telegram was too long.
After reading the telegram, Yevgeny frowned tightly. There was no doubt that the task on the telegram was undoubtedly too difficult for him. He was just a little counselor, but now he had to take on the important task that concerns Russia's fate, which made him a little excited and worried. However, more of it was sad. Is it possible that Russia has really reached this point now?
"Come, contact me with the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I want to meet His Excellency Albrech von Ron!" Evgeny ordered.
However, if the Russian embassy still exists, it may not be difficult for him to meet the foreign minister of the Kingdom of Prussia. But now, it is not so easy. After all, both sides are still in a state of war. With the development of the war, the foreign minister of the Kingdom of Prussia Albrech von Ron has also become very busy. How can I have time to care about his small office director?
Yevgeny was notified that it was two days later when he could meet Albrech von Ron. However, Yevgeny still cherished this opportunity and rushed to the location of the Prussian Foreign Ministry on Bodhi Street, Berlin early in the morning.
"His Excellency Foreign Minister, I am very happy to see you. Thank you so much for taking time to see me under such a busy situation!" Yevgeny showed great humility. After all, Russia is now seeking the Kingdom of Prussia, and even Russia's fate is in the hands of the Kingdom of Prussia.
"Counselor. My time is very tight. In half an hour, I will meet with the Chinese Empire's ambassador to the Kingdom of Prussia. If there is anything, let's talk about it!" Albrech von Ron urged.
"It's like this. His Excellency Foreign Minister. Russia knows that it's difficult to win in this war, so we hope to cooperate with the Kingdom of Prussia!" Next, Yevgeny revealed Russia's plan.
After listening to Yevgeny's introduction, Albrech von Ron was stunned. This was completely beyond his expectations. Russia, but the steam roller that was terrified in Europe at the beginning! Now the Russians have actually fallen to the hope of obtaining the protection of the Kingdom of Prussia. This change is too fast!
"Counselor, are you sure this is your request?" Albrech von Ron asked uncertainly. He even thought that this was a prank by the guy Yevgeny. After all, it was really incredible.
"His Excellency Foreign Minister, this is indeed our request. Since Russia has lost this war, then Russia naturally does not want to continue to fight. If the Kingdom of Prussia is unwilling to accept this condition, then we can only turn to the Chinese Empire for support!" Yevgeny said. He did this to give Albrech von Ron some pressure, so that he can gain greater benefits for Russia.
"Counselor, this matter is too important. This is not something I can decide by myself. I need time to report to His Majesty the King and His Majesty the Prime Minister!" Albrech von Ron said excitedly. If the Russians sincerely turned to the Kingdom of Prussia, this would undoubtedly be a great thing for the Kingdom of Prussia. Even if Russia would lose its strength after the war, Russia that has been preserved will still have strong strength. This will undoubtedly be a great help for the future struggle with the Chinese Empire.
"Of course, Mr. Foreign Minister, then I'll be waiting for your good news!" Yevgeny said with a smile. From the expressions of Albrech von Ron, he could tell that the other party was already moved. This is undoubtedly a good thing for Russia. At least, Russia can continue to exist.
"Well, okay, Counselor, I will contact you as soon as possible!" said Albrech von Ron.
"Come, prepare a car for me, I'm going to the palace! In addition, inform the Prime Minister and the Chief of Staff that there is an emergency and that there is an emergency with them!" Albrech von Ron immediately ordered his secretary.
"But, you are still ten minutes away from you to meet the Chinese ambassador!" the secretary said with some embarrassment.
"Sorry to the Chinese ambassador, this meeting needs to be postponed!" Albrech von Ron said without hesitation. Russia turned to Russia, such a major event is obviously much more important than meeting with the Chinese Empire ambassador.
"Yes, Your Excellency!" The secretary nodded and immediately went to make arrangements.
Five minutes later, Albrech von Ron took a car to the palace, and the Prime Minister Otto von Bismarck, Chief of Staff General Reich Reich, and Deputy Chief of General Staff Earl Mauch, also rushed to the palace.
In the palace, in the office of King William I, William I, Otto von Bismarck, General Reich and Earl Moltch were listening to the report of Albrech von Ron. Their expressions were also very wonderful, and they were obviously unable to believe the news brought by Albrech von Ron.
"What are the Russians trying to do? They are willing to pay such a price. Can't they really hold on?" King William I murmured.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid the situation of the Russians is indeed very bad. Otherwise, they would not have made such a choice." Otto von Bismarck said solemnly.
"Prime Minister, this is an opportunity for us, isn't it?" Earl Mawch, the deputy chief of staff, had a smile on his face. If the Russians did not stop the army of the Kingdom of Prussia, then the Kingdom of Prussia could march straight into Russia and occupy all the most important areas of Russia. What's more, when the Russians did not resist, the Kingdom of Prussia only needed to use a very small amount of troops to achieve the predetermined goal.
"Yes, this is a good thing for us. At least, we will have a barrier to the east. There will be an extra buffer between us and the Chinese. More importantly, this buffer is still inclined to us!" said Otto von Bismarck.
"So, do we need to promise the Russians?" asked William I.
"Your Majesty, if we do this, we may break up with the Chinese people. At that time, the conflict between us and the Chinese Empire will be further planned, and it is not even ruled out that the two sides will directly break out in conflicts or even wars on the Eastern European plains!" Albrech von Ron was a little worried.
After all, the Chinese Empire had sent a large number of troops on the Eastern European plains and achieved a major victory. It was only a matter of time to completely defeat the Russian army and destroy Russia. Now the Prussians jumped out and seized the fruits of victory, which was undoubtedly snatching meat from the Chinese tiger's mouth! The Chinese would definitely not give up so much.
"This does need to be considered. At present, the main forces of the Imperial Army are concentrated in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The Austrians are still resisting, but the Hungarians and other Austro-Hungarian countries do not want to continue to fight because of the huge losses. Perhaps it will not take long before we can conquer Vienna and destroy the Austro-Hungarian Empire!" said General Reichle, Chief of Staff.
Now, the army of the Kingdom of Prussia has exceeded three million. However, half of them are fighting in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The other one million are deployed in the Netherlands on the Western Front and the border between the Kingdom of Prussia and France. They are preparing to wait until the main force of France is dragged down by the Chinese Empire, Spain and Belgium, and immediately enter France and bite a piece of fat from the French.
Excluding the troops deployed in other parts of the country, the Prussian Kingdom can now invest less than 300,000 troops in Russia. Once the Chinese Empire falls apart, how can these 300,000 people fight against the Chinese Army with more than 1.5 million? At that time, the Chinese army may not even be eaten by the bones and scraps! Not to mention, there are millions of troops from the Ottoman Turkish Empire in the Ukrainian Plain in southern Russia.
