Expedition to Europe

Before the establishment of the Romanov dynasty in 1613, Russia's expansion into Siberia was led by a group of merchants.

The driving force behind the merchants was not territory or mineral resources, but fur.

In order to obtain more fur, the merchants first destroyed the Siberian Khanate and then occupied the Yenisei River. As the merchants explored, farmers also began to migrate to Siberia.

After the establishment of the Romanov dynasty, in 1632, Russian merchants built the first Russian city in North Asia, Yakutsk Castle. The tsar at that time was not the tsar, but was called "Patriarch". The Patriarch at that time, Fedor Nikitich Romanov, the founder of the Romanov dynasty, established the Governor's Office in Yakutsk Castle. From then on, the Russian government began to take over the expansion in North Asia.

It seems that Georgy really has no right to blame the Lanfang people.

The successive monarchs of the Romanov dynasty opened up the world's largest territory for Russia, but the descendants of the Romanov dynasty were shot to death by the Bolsheviks. Now the Bolsheviks are demanding to inherit the legacy of the Romanov dynasty. How shameless.

From the Bolshevik's point of view, this is of course natural, but from Ivan's point of view, it is also natural for these "international vagrants" abandoned by the Soviets to inherit the legacy of the Romanov dynasty.

So even if Georgy almost sprayed saliva on Ivan's face, Ivan did not flinch.

"You damn bastards, you traitors, you should all be sent to the gallows--" Georgy has already started to curse, and he doesn't care about his demeanor.

Fortunately, Georgy did not lose his mind. He used Russian when cursing, which seemed to be directed at Ivan, not Zhang Jingzong and other Chinese.

"We shouldn't be sent to the gallows. Someone else should be sent to the gallows. We should be sent to the basement of Yekaterinburg and then be shot by you collectively!" Although Ivan was not angry, his voice was no longer cold, but full of anger and hatred.

The basement of Yekaterinburg, this is where the family of the last Tsar Nicholas II was collectively executed.

Other members of the Romanov family were also executed at the same time: Grand Duchess Elizabeth, the sister of Queen Alexandra Fedorovna, Grand Duke Sergei Mihaylovich, the three sons of Grand Duke Constantine, the son of Grand Duke Paul, etc. They were executed in the Petersburg Fortress.

Just look at the Russians to know how kind the Chinese are. After the Russians overthrew the Tsar, the Tsar's family was collectively executed. After the Chinese overthrew the rule of the Qing Dynasty, the Empress Dowager and the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty could still live in the Forbidden City, and there were "tributes" to receive every month. Nicholas II should blame himself for being born in the wrong family.

After hearing Ivan's words, Georgy's panic flashed in his eyes.

The Bolsheviks executed Nicholas II's family in secret and did not publicize it. Although Kolchak had looked for Nicholas II and his family when he was in power, he still had no results. This matter was still a secret at this time, and no one should know about it, so Georgy was terrified that Ivan had revealed it.

The European royal family is actually a family. Nicholas II's mother and the mother of the current British King George V are sisters, so Nicholas II and George V are cousins. If George V knew that the entire Romanov family was exterminated, it is hard to say what decision George V would make. Perhaps George V would continue to support Stalin for the sake of national interests, but it is also possible that George V would avenge his cousin.

Even if there is only this possibility, it is unbearable for the current Soviet Union.

"You-what nonsense are you talking about-" Georgy's expression was ugly, and his lips trembled for a long time before he squeezed out such a sentence.

The Bolsheviks executed the Tsar's family in an extremely cruel way. When Yakov Yurovsky, who was in charge of the execution, announced the order, Nicholas II, his wife, five children, and four loyal servants were shot. After the execution, the four princesses and the maid were still alive. The princesses' lapels were carefully sewn with 1.5 kilograms of diamonds and countless jewels. These diamonds and jewels helped them resist the gunshots like bulletproof vests, and the maid used the pillow she carried with her to protect herself from the bullets, because the goose feathers of the pillow also contained diamonds and gold and silver jewels.

These diamonds and jewels failed to save these girls. The soldiers in charge of the execution did not even use pistols, but used bayonets to end it all. Then the remains were sent to a deserted path in the suburbs. All the bodies were stripped of their clothes. In order to destroy the bodies, the executioners used strong acid, gasoline and grenades. In order to hide the bodies, the bodies were buried separately. The bodies that had been unrecognizable were covered with industrial rubber, nails, glass fragments, abandoned railroad sleepers, and finally soil.

The Bolsheviks used such cruel means to kill their former "Tsar Dad". If these details were made public, the international environment faced by the Soviet Union could be imagined.

"You know what I'm talking about. I just want to tell you that our Lan Fang military exercise has begun, so please evacuate the civilians in the exercise area. If there are any accidental injuries, we will not be responsible." Ivan's eyes were more sarcastic, and at the same time there was a strong sadness.

No matter how the Bolsheviks treated Ivan and the "remnants of the previous dynasty", Ivan was once a Russian and had traveled around for Russia's interests. Now Ivan is playing the role of squeezing Russia. This makes Ivan's mood was complicated.

When he said this, Ivan did not shy away from speaking in Chinese, which finally brought Georgi to the ditch.

"You bastard, I'm going to kill you -" Georgi blurted out.

"Well - Mr. Georgi, what are you talking about? Are you threatening a Lanfang citizen?" Zhang Jingzong was not polite, and his tone was also threatening: "Find out your identity and think through what you said. "Every word you say will determine the scope of the military exercise. I have now decided to expand the scope of the exercise to 1.7 million square kilometers."

A curse is equivalent to about 50,000 square kilometers of territory. The self-esteem of Lanfang people is really valuable!

Georgi should feel lucky. When Georgi first scolded Ivan, he always used Russian. Otherwise, most of Siberia would have belonged to Lanfang by now.

That's almost it. Siberia has a total area of ​​13 million square kilometers. Lan Fang has already taken away 3.3 million, and now it has another 1.7 million, which is exactly 5 million——

Not even halfway, the revolution still needs work.

"We do not recognize this exercise. You have no right to conduct military exercises on our soil. All territory west of Lake Baikal is Russia's inherent territory. This is an infringement of Soviet power. 130 million Russians will never Will agree to——" Georgi foamed at the mouth, preparing to legally overthrow the foundation of this military exercise.

Zhang Jingzong's warning was still effective. Although Georgi refused to admit it, he did not dare to continue scolding him without using a single curse word.

"This is not a negotiation, just an announcement." When it came time to negotiate, Ivan took over immediately.

Negotiation and notification are two different concepts. Negotiation is still possible, but notification is irreversible.

"You—" Georgi almost blurted out again, but luckily he covered his mouth in time.

This action was so ungentlemanly that Zhang Jingzong and other Chinese people watching the show almost laughed out loud.

Ivan was a little regretful. If he really cursed, it would be fifty thousand square kilometers. Ivan hoped that Georgi would curse a few more words, which might help Ivan get a title in Lanfang.

This can be regarded as opening up new territories, but the method may not be in line with the taste of soldiers. However, for diplomats, "personal dignity" is a luxury. When it is time to pretend to be a grandson, you must pretend to be a grandson, even if you pretend to be a heavyweight. Sun Tzu, as long as it can be exchanged for national interests, it is worth it.

Lanfang's soldiers also did everything they could on the battlefield, including assassinations, disguises, and sneak attacks. To say it was obscene, it was much more obscene than diplomats. For diplomats, the negotiation table was their battlefield.

"It's good that you want peace. Lanfang has always been a peace-loving country. We support all forms of peace. In order to ensure regional tranquility and to jointly create a harmonious society, we hope to see an independent Belarus. , Ukraine, and Kazakhstan." Ivan formally made Lanfang's request.

"This is impossible. Belarus is also Russia, a part of Russia, an indivisible part. As for Ukraine and Kazakhstan, these two countries have always been independent countries. They are not threatened and there are no other countries on their soil. Feel free to engage in military exercises." Georgi's words were still very sharp, and he was quick to say the least.

"You must ensure that Ukraine and Kazakhstan remain independent. As for Belarus, the people of Belarus should determine their destiny." Ivan did not want to get entangled in this issue. This was not Lan Fang's goal in the first place.

National self-determination is really a big killer, and it is basically invincible when used.

After listening to Ivan's words, the expression on Georgi's face was obviously a little hesitant. Although Belarus is where Stalin started, if national self-determination is pursued in Belarus, God knows whether those Belarusians will firmly follow Stalin, and if the national For the sake of self-determination, Lan Fang will definitely not stand idly by and don't know what trouble will be caused by then.

At this point, the Soviet side has basically understood Lanfang's request. The only remaining question is whether to agree or not, and Georgi has no decision-making power on this issue.

So the negotiations entered a break period.
