I'm playing whack-a-mole in Siberia

Chapter 701 Alpha and Signal Flag

The establishment of the Bavarian Republic fully proved that Germany's contradictions had reached an irreconcilable level.

To this day, many German generals still believe that Germany lost the war because it was betrayed by politicians.

Regardless of whether it is right or wrong, this kind of patriotic enthusiasm is definitely worth encouraging.

As long as the Germans have not given up, Ludendorff will still have a market and value.

A person like Ludendorff is more useful than a thousand pro-Russian Germans trained by George.

For some people who do not settle accounts thoroughly, or who do not settle accounts at all, not settling accounts with Ludendorff is tantamount to going against the will of Heaven.

George is following the British example of laying mines for Germany. Politics is not black and white.

If we really want to settle accounts thoroughly, Hindenburg will be held more responsible than Ludendorff.

The whereabouts of Nicholas' entire family are unknown, Joseph I and Muhammad V died of illness, and William II went into exile in the Netherlands. Doesn't George V have any responsibility?

If you really want to be picky, even George himself is involved.

Some people can be exempted from accountability.

Some people must be hunted to the ends of the earth.

To date, the whereabouts of 84 of the 12 members of the Provisional Executive Committee are still unknown.

Grand Duke Dmitry, who had come up empty-handed in Yekaterinburg, asked George to take charge of this task personally.

Although the Romanov family was dwindling in numbers, it still had some strength. Dmitry quickly raised 1500 million rubles to hunt down the Provisional Executive Committee.

Nicholas Jr. personally donated 300 million.

George believes the money could play a more important role.

George decided to rebuild the secret police.

The secret police of the Imperial Russian era played an important role in maintaining the rule of the empire.

George thought the secret police could do more.

George was deeply impressed by the dreaded Chika during the Red Russian era.

Chica means: using extraordinary means to destroy the enemy's organization.

The concept of enemy is very broad. No matter whether someone is Russian or not, anyone who is hostile to Russia is an enemy.

Russians have footprints all over the world.

If we zoom in on the Slavs, Russian influence is everywhere.

George hopes that Chika will not only become Russia's secret police, but also have an impact all over the world.

Dmitry was passionate about this job and went to the army himself to select the best officers and soldiers to form the action department.

George conveniently named this department "Alpha".

Now that we have Alpha, how can we not have signal flags?

Since the Alpha was given to Dmitri, George gave the signal flag to Guchkov.

Alpha is responsible for the outside, while Signal Flag is responsible for the inside. The right way is to cultivate both the inside and the outside.

Dmitri and Guchkov did not correctly understand the meaning of the Alpha and the signal flag.

Dmitri selected 150 men, each of them was an extraordinary soldier.

This is already the result of selecting one in a million, otherwise Dmitri would probably have been able to pick out a guard corps.

George asked Dmitri to keep only 20 and send the rest to the signal flags.

What can 20 people do?
Dmitri was disappointed.

Are 20 people enough?
All it takes to kill a man is an axe.

On June 6, Bronstein, who had served as a member of the Provisional Executive Committee and signed the Brest-Litovsk Treaty, died in front of his residence in Mexico.

Bronstein was hit in the back of the head with an axe.

After investigation, Mexican police confirmed that Bronstein died in a robbery.

Never mind how they died, George only cared about the result.

The eight gunshot wounds in the back were all suicides, and dying from a robbery is already a very sincere investigation result.

On June 6, George attended the signal flag establishment ceremony and inspected the signal flag base.

The signal flag base is located in an ancient castle on the outskirts of Constantinople. It was originally the palace of the Ottoman Sultan. It is located on a scenic hillside with the Bosphorus Strait in front of it.

The total number of signal flag personnel, including logistics personnel, is 850.

The castle is used as the signal flag's office. It not only has a clinic and a restaurant, but also a library and a gym. The armory is in the basement and is managed by a dedicated person.

The armory is managed by a dozen veterans who have retired due to injuries. They are not only responsible for management work, but also for maintenance, care, and adjustment to ensure that every weapon is in the best condition.

The clinic can not only provide simple treatments, but also perform minor surgeries. The doctor is a top student who graduated from Vladivostok Medical University, and it is really a bit of a waste of talent to have him here.

However, considering the confidentiality level of the signal flag, ordinary people are indeed not suitable to work here.

George enthusiastically worked out in the gym for half an hour, sweating profusely. He took a shower and then went to the dormitory of the Signal Flag members.

The dormitory is fully equipped, with two people in a room, a separate bathroom, and a dedicated person in charge of sanitation.

Taking into account the special nature of the signal flag, the only vehicle equipped for the signal flag is an armored transport vehicle, each of which can carry 8 signal flag soldiers.

These vehicles are also maintained and repaired by dedicated personnel. The Signal Flag training ground is right next to the castle and covers a very large area. In addition to conventional training facilities, it also simulates different terrains to facilitate targeted training for Signal Flag members.

At noon, George had his meal at Signal Flag. Although the food was not very diverse, it was filling, nutritionally balanced, and tasted pretty good.

"We have dedicated nutritionists and chefs who formulate the most scientific menus every day to ensure that the soldiers can eat well and be in the best condition at any time to meet any challenge."

The person in charge of the signal flag was Major General Tayev.

The administrative level of the Signal Flag is not high, it is just a subordinate agency of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Major General Gao's command fully demonstrated how much importance George attached to signal flags.

Every member of the signal flag, even the enlisted men, received an officer's pay.

In the afternoon, George attended the raising ceremony of the signal flag.

The founding ceremony was held under the flagpole in front of the castle gate. There were two flags, one was the Russian flag and the other was a military flag.

Major General Tayev presided over the establishment ceremony and invited George to give a speech.

All signal flag members are under 30 years old, and the youngest is only 21 years old.

George gave an impromptu speech without any prepared remarks.

"Good afternoon, soldiers. I am your commander, Georgy Yuriev—"

George couldn't help but feel excited as he looked at the enthusiastic young faces in front of him.

"——For us, the war will never end. The situation we face will become more complicated and more severe. Although a country is big, it will perish if it loves war and will be in danger if it forgets war. Each of us must remember that we are Russia's shield and sword. Our mission is to send Russia's enemies to hell anytime, anywhere, and in any way!"

George ended his speech with "Ulla".

George was responded with countless "Ura" shouted at the top of their lungs.

Witt, who accompanied George to the ceremony, said: The military's morale is high!
George never worried about the Russians' will to fight.

Even though Nikolay and Zhilinski played so badly in the early stages, George was still able to turn the tables.

Even without George, if anyone with a strong fighting spirit had been in his place, even Kerensky, Russia would have won the final victory.

The German army only had a few more people in total. Russia covers an area of ​​2000 million square kilometers. If the Germans were allowed to attack as they pleased, how far could they reach?

Yekaterinburg?
Lake Baikal?

Once we reach Lake Baikal, we are only halfway through Siberia.

Ask Ludendorff whether he feels desperate in the face of such strategic depth.

Signal Flag will next establish branches in St. Petersburg, Moscow, and Vladivostok.

The signal flag members are easy to deal with, and George's experience in the Oak Group can also be used here.

In order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the Russian army, George decided to continue the custom of the imperial era and add a military competition to the military exercises in autumn every year, in which all four major military regions must participate.

George divided all of Russia into four military districts: Amur, Caucasus, Warsaw, and Balkans.

Andrei was in charge of the Amur Military District, Brusinov was in charge of Warsaw, Ruzynski went to the Caucasus, and Vasily placed the headquarters of the Balkan Military District in Constantinople.

It has been confirmed that this autumn's military exercises will pit the Amur Military District against the Balkan Military District and the Warsaw Military District against the Caucasus.

After the military exercise, there will be a military competition for all the troops, and the winners will be qualified to join the Alpha and Signal Flags.

It's just a qualification. If you want to become a member of Alpha and Signal Flag, you still need to pass the formal assessment of Alpha and Signal Flag.

George himself did not expect that the signal flag had just been established when the Constantinople ferry hijacking occurred.

In the spring of this year, the construction of the Bosphorus Bridge officially began. The construction period is expected to be three years and it will be put into use in 1922.

This is the first cross-sea bridge in the Bosphorus. Before it was built and opened to traffic, the only way to cross the Bosphorus Strait was to take a ferry.

On June 6, a ferry was hijacked by unidentified armed men, with a total of 9 people on board, including the captain and crew, including 45 students and two female teachers.

After boarding the ship, the militants installed bombs on board and threatened to blow up the ferry if their demands were not met.

The militants' demand is to change the location of the Hebrew autonomous region from Yakutia to Crimea.

"So, it was the Hebrews who hijacked the ferry."

George was furious and the consequences were dire.

The Hebrews were not as smart as they claimed.

Not only are they not smart, but they are also shameless, cold-blooded, cruel, vicious, and so on. Even if you add all the negative words that describe human nature to the Hebrews, they are still not enough to describe their despicableness.

"We can't confirm that yet."

Guchkov was very serious. He had never experienced anything like this before and didn't know how to deal with it.

"Call the precision shooters of the signal flag over here and formulate an action plan. Kill them all while ensuring the safety of the hostages as much as possible."

George's antipathy toward the Hebrews reached its peak.

"Grand Duke, the other party requests negotiation."

Witt arrived in a hurry, also not knowing what to do.

"No, Russia will never negotiate with terrorists!"

George is grim.

If you want to talk to Grand Duke Yuriev, you need to make an appointment in advance.
