Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

Nikolayevich frowned, and said angrily, "You know I don't like listening to people talking nonsense, so if I tell you to take me there, take me there quickly."

Knowing Nikolayevich's temper, the attendant didn't dare to persuade him any further, and said, "Sir Speaker, I'll take you right away."

As the attendant said, he took Nikolaevich to a palace in the Winter Palace. This palace was originally used by the tsar to imprison servants who made mistakes. Nikolaevich's men imprisoned Badayev. here.

Nikolaevich walked into that room and saw that there were no beds or chairs in the room. Badaev was sitting in the corner with a helpless face. Nikolaevich waved his attendant out , and shut the door of the house.

Seeing Nikolayevich coming in, Badayev stood up hastily, but he didn't know what to say, so he just looked at Nikolayevich in a daze.

The two of them remained silent for 10 minutes before Nikolayevich smiled and said, "Dear Professor Badayev, please forgive my rudeness just now. I can't help it."

Badaev was taken aback and asked, "Mr. Speaker, what do you mean by that?"

Nikolaevich smiled and said: "You may have heard it, I intend to ask Lin Yuan for peace."

Badayev thought for a while and said, "I just thought of it too. If you didn't mean to ask for peace at all, you wouldn't say 'I don't know how to contact Lin Yuan'."

Nikolayevich said: "Then do you understand why I pointed a gun at you?"

Badaev asked tentatively: "Are you afraid that if you seek peace, you will be secretly harmed by Britain and Germany?"

Nikolaevich nodded lightly, and said: "That's right, Britain and Germany are not kind Santa Clauses, and they have to be rewarded for their efforts. They haven't gotten enough rewards from me, and they won't let me go." Yes. If I go to Lin Yuan to ask for peace, they will definitely find a way to deal with me."

Badayev nodded and said, "If that's the case, I understand."

Nikolayevich smiled apologetically and said, "Dear Professor Badayev, there is no one else here now, please tell me if it is feasible to contact Lin Yuan for peace, and how should I contact Lin Yuan."

Badaev said: "It is entirely feasible to contact Lin Yuan. During the Southeast Asian campaign, the Netherlands fell into the arms of China, and Lin Yuan did not pursue his persecution of Chinese in the colonies. , Lin Yuan's troops overthrew the Qing court, didn't they also persecute the old officials of the Qing Dynasty?"

"The former Emperor Guangxu has now become the curator of the Forbidden City Museum, Weng Tonghe has become the chairman of the Calligraphers Association, and Yuan Shikai has become a local wealthy businessman. If you ask Lin Yuan for peace, Lin Yuan will definitely not harm you. And you compare The old ministers of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties are much stronger, and Lin Yuan will not hurt you even more."

Nikolayevich frowned, and asked, "I am much better than the old ministers of the Qing Dynasty? What do you mean by that?"

Badayev said with a smile: "Lin Yuan has always liked to use the smallest cost to achieve the greatest results. You still have an elite guard army in your hands. If Lin Yuan insists on hitting you, he will have to pay a lot of casualties. , so he also wants to win you over."

Nikolaevich nodded and said, "You are right, how should I contact Lin Yuan?"

Badayev laughed and said, "The way to communicate is very simple. You have cronies in the Imperial Guard Corps. Wouldn't it be enough to ask them to negotiate with the Siberian Front in China?"

Nikolaevich's eyes lit up, and he said, "You're right, I'm going to prepare now. But I can't release you now, and I'll let you suffer here for a while, but I won't treat you badly. "

Badayev smiled and said, "I can understand your difficulties."

Nikolaevich turned around and walked out, called the officer in charge of Badayev and said, "Badayev is a famous naturalist after all, you must treat him kindly, understand?"

The officer replied loudly: "The subordinate understands!"

Nikolaevich nodded in satisfaction, called an attendant, and asked, "Where are Ambassador Powell and Ambassador Swat now?"

The attendant replied: "I just called the embassy, ​​and they said that Ambassador Powell and Ambassador Swat have not returned yet."

Nikolaevich was taken aback, looked at his watch, and said to himself: "It's already three o'clock in the afternoon, and it's time for afternoon tea. These two ambassadors never miss the time for afternoon tea. what is it today."

The attendant was speechless, and Nikolaevich didn't say anything more. He brought the attendant to the command center. There were many transmitters here, which could directly communicate with the frontline Guards.

Seeing that Nikolaevich came in person, the chief interpreter hurriedly invited him into his office. The chief interpreter could see all the telegrams going to and from the front line and the Winter Palace. He was the person with the most secrets in the Russian army. Therefore, the director of translation is Nikolaevich's absolute confidant.

Nikolaevich said to the translator: "I want to send a telegram, and you will decode it yourself."

The translator was startled and asked, "What telegram needs me to decode it myself?"

Nikolaevich frowned, and said in a cold voice, "So you don't have so many problems!"

The director of translation and electricity broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, the subordinate is talking too much, I will decode it for you, please write down the plain text content."

After the translation chief finished speaking, he took out a telegram and a pen, and placed them respectfully in front of Nikolayevich. Nikolayevich wrote on the paper: "Dear son, contact the senior officers of the Siberian Front immediately. , I want to personally discuss important military matters with Lin Yuan.” The commander of the Imperial Guard Corps leading the troops at the front is Nikolaevich’s own son—Duranov, and Nikolaevich can only entrust the military power to himself Only his own son can rest assured.

When Nikolayevich wrote this line, the chief translator was turning around to get the code book. When he took out the code book and turned around to see that sentence, he was so surprised that the code book in his hand "slapped." "Click" and fell to the ground.

Nikolaevich frowned, and the chief interpreter hurriedly said, "Sir, you want to negotiate with Lin Yuan?"

Nikolaevich smiled slightly and said, "This is the only way we can save our lives and property."

Instead of leaning over to pick up the cipherbook, the director of Yidian stood up straight and said loudly: "Mr. Speaker, my subordinates fully support every decision you make!"

Nikolayevich laughed and said, "How can I distrust you? Needless to say, go and send a telegram quickly. You should understand how confidential this matter is?"

The translator replied loudly: "Understood!"

Nikolaevich waved his hand to let the translator go out, when the attendant came in and whispered to Nikolaevich: "My lord, Ambassador Powell and Ambassador Swart are very strange!"
