African Entrepreneurship Records 2

Chapter 1298 Berezovka Gang

At the end of 1917, the East African National Defense Security Agency began extensive activities throughout Russia. As a world power, Russia naturally has a large presence in East Africa.

This round of National Defense Security Agency's tasks mainly involves two aspects. One is to assist Russian scientific researchers, nobles, and wealthy people who intend to develop in East Africa to withdraw from Russia and monitor the flow of various resources in Russia... The second is to successfully escape from Russia after completing the mission.

Taking advantage of the current turbulent situation in Russia, East Africa can make a fortune by making a little money. In special circumstances, it is even possible for agents to pretend to be "White Bandits" in Russia and engage in robbery.

As early as the beginning of this century, the East African Defense Security Agency had already focused on collecting relevant information on Russia. It can be said that a large amount of information was widely collected, including where Russia's core technologies were, where scientific researchers lived, the locations of bank vaults, and so on.

Kazan.

Kazan, located on the Volga River, has always been one of the most important cities in Russia. Its construction history is more than a hundred years earlier than that of Moscow, and it is even known as the third capital of Russia.

Although Russia's Western Front was affected by the war and was devastated, and even the capital St. Petersburg was facing the threat of war, Kazan, deep in the heart of Russia, was not affected at all.

As early as the 18th century, Kazan's industry had already achieved initial development, and by the 20th century, Kazan had become one of the most important industrial cities in Russia.

Starting from 1916, a "bandit" armed force suddenly emerged around the city of Kazan, quickly annexed other bandit forces around Kazan, and became the only non-Russian official armed force around Kazan.

The quiet rise of this illegal armed force did not arouse anyone's suspicion at all. After all, Russia is a country with very poor public security. Due to its vast land area and poor traffic conditions, there is a natural space for bandits to grow in Russia.

In fact, except for imperialist countries such as Britain, France and Germany, which have small areas and relatively strong government management capabilities, countries with vast land areas such as Russia and the United States will face bandit problems to some extent.

East Africa is naturally an exception. After all, under the long-term planned economy, the state apparatus in East Africa has developed to an outrageous degree. Coupled with East Africa's state system, not many people are willing to take risks, let alone form a "gang" of a certain scale, which does not exist in East Africa.

Now, about 30 kilometers out of the Russian city of Kazan, an army of about 10,000 people is gathering.

"General Berezovka! Can we really attack Kazan with our limited strength?" Chubalov, a bandit leader on horseback, asked worriedly.

Berezovka is the latest bandit leader to emerge near the city of Kazan. Of course, from Chubalov's words, we can learn that he calls himself a general.

The man named Berezovka stared at Chubalov with sinister eyes without saying anything, but this look alone made Chubalov shiver all over.

This reminded Chubalov of the scene when he first met Berezovka and his group. No one knew Berezovka's origins.

However, the bandits around Kazan speculated that they might be the defeated troops from the Russian front. Although there were only a few hundred of them, they were decisive and well-armed. It took them less than a year to dominate the bandit forces near Kazan.

"Since I have made the decision, I am naturally fully confident. If you have any objections, you can withdraw." Berezovka said indifferently.

When Chubalov heard what Berezovka said, he thought to himself: "Quit? I'm afraid I'll be shot in the back if I agree to it!"

Of course, Chubalov would not dare to say this in front of Berezovka. Not to mention Berezovka, Chubalov would not even dare to mention it to anyone else.

Berezovka built the entire gang into an impregnable fortress, and no one knew whether there were any spies of Berezovka around them.

Thinking of this, Chubalov had to admire Berezovka's methods. As a force forcibly integrated by Berezovka, the bandits near Kazan naturally could not be honest, but those who had other ideas had already gone to hell.

Chubalov said to the killer in front of him in a flattering manner: "General, I have no other intentions. The main reason is that we have dealt with the garrison of Kazan in the past." "They are regular troops. Small people like us who came from banditry are no match for them. Every once in a while, the local garrison in Kazan will encircle and suppress us."

"That is, after the war broke out, they had no time to care about other things in order to support the front line, so they stayed quiet for a while. But even though most of the main forces of the Kazan garrison have been transferred away, they are not something we can provoke."

It can be said that the bandits near Kazan had bad luck. They finally got rid of Kazan's elite troops, but then a ruthless man named Berezovka appeared out of nowhere.

Over the past year or so, almost all the bandits near Kazan have been defeated by Berezovka's gang, especially the largest gangs, at least half of whom were chopped to pieces by Berezovka.

Chubalov was originally a small bandit leader around Kazan, but he had only 20 to 30 men under him. Before Berezovka arrived, they only robbed Russian civilians.

After Berezovka arrived here, he first conquered the largest local gang, and then used it as a basis to sweep away the bandit forces around Kazan.

After all, as colleagues, the bandits in Kazan naturally have connections. If one group falls, the next one will be implicated.

For example, Chubalov's original bandit gang was reported to Berezovka by a group of bandits from the village next to him.

As for why Berezovka was so powerful, it was naturally because he had money, guns and people, although there were only about four or five hundred people who initially followed Berezov to Kazan.

However, these hundreds of people were all equipped with Mosin-Gannas, and even had machine guns and small-caliber artillery. They had sufficient weapons and ammunition. Apart from the local Russian garrison around Kazan, there was probably no force that could be their opponent.

This is also the reason why Kazan bandits such as Chubalov suspected that Berezovka had a Russian military background.

Berezovka said in a proud tone: "Hehe, now we have guns and cannons in our hands. How can those good-for-nothings of the Kazan City Defense Forces be our opponents?"

"And you overestimate his combat effectiveness. Kazan's original elite troops have all been transferred to the west. Now near Kazan, only our Kazan Army is the most powerful."

Chubalov stammered, "But the problem is that even if we capture Kazan, we will be suppressed by the government! They can draw troops from other places to encircle and suppress us."

For Chubalov, Berezovka's behavior was simply courting death. Normally, the government did not eliminate this group of bandits because it did not want to cause trouble. This did not mean that the government did not have the ability to eliminate them. After all, no one could fight against the state apparatus.

It looked like an attack on a city like Kazan, but in reality it was tantamount to declaring war on the Russian government, which had millions of troops under its command.

Berezovka said indifferently: "Why worry? The order in Russia has already collapsed. St. Petersburg has been occupied by the rebels. The Russian government is finished. Moreover, they have to face the threat from the Allies. Kazan is too far away from St. Petersburg and Moscow. Even if the new government reacts, we will have already become big."

Berezovka's shocking information frightened Chubalov so much that he was at a loss. He couldn't believe whether what Berezovka said was true.

This is actually easy to understand, because order in Kazan and other eastern parts of Russia is still maintained, and even the government personnel are still the original people from the Tsarist era.

Therefore, the Kazan government naturally tried its best to cover up the news that the Labor Party had seized power in St. Petersburg and other regions. At the same time, they are now hesitant, and many people do not even know the attitude of the Labor Party regime towards them.

In their expectation, it would be best if it were the same as the last domestic coup in Russia. Although the provisional government represented the interests of capitalism, it would also issue an appeasement to them, the "pillars" of the empire.
