Struggle in Russia

Anton's strength and contempt for Ulanov shocked the greedy governor. He looked at Anton dumbfounded and didn't know what to do. He looked as stupid as he could!

He was stunned, but Anton didn't have the patience to stay with him in a daze. When he saw no response, he immediately asked impatiently: "Your Excellency, Governor, do you have anything else to say?"

Ulanov trembled, and became more and more confused about what to do, but he could not remain in a daze. He laughed twice and said: "This...this...this is all a misunderstanding. It seems that I am not satisfied with the colonel." You don't know enough, that's why you make such a joke! You are right, you definitely have nothing to do with this rebellion... Well, um, let's do this, I will check it carefully to see what it is. What’s going on, what do you think?”

Ulanov admitted defeat. Although he did not completely believe Anton's words, he did not dare to bet. What if there was really a big boss behind Anton, and his younger brother did not provoke him, but he killed him? There is no way to explain.

At this moment, it was better for him not to take any risk than to believe it or not!

So he could only put on a smile and send Anton out of the Governor's Mansion in a friendly manner. If the stupid nobles from before saw his appearance, their eyes would probably pop out. Where is that Ulanov who eats people without spitting out their bones?

It wasn't until he got into his carriage and left the Governor's Mansion safely that Anton breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, he really wasn't as calm as he appeared. His mind was running at high speed every minute and every second, thinking about what to do. In response to Ulanov's sudden attack.

For a time, he felt that he was in a desperate situation with almost no possibility of leaving safely, but with courage and wisdom, he finally deceived the greedy wolf and escaped successfully.

Even so, Anton felt that his back was soaked. The situation just now was really too tense. If he said the wrong thing, there would be no chance of survival.

But he was still betting right. He was betting that Ulanov would not dare to cause trouble at this moment. What this evil wolf wants most at this time is to escape safely and leave Kiev, so he never dares to risk offending a force that can settle accounts with him in the future. He simply does not dare to offend the big boss in St. Petersburg.

It's just that he didn't expect that there was no such big boss behind Anton. Of course, it wasn't that he didn't exist at all, but he just didn't live up to his name.

Count Rostovtsev is definitely a big boss, but his relationship with Anton is relatively complicated and secretive, and he may not really stand up for Anton.

But these are not important. What is important is that Anton scared off Ulanov and successfully passed the test.

After returning to his headquarters, he immediately summoned his confidants and issued an order: "From now on, the alert state will be raised to the highest level, and all guards' guns will be loaded and ready for battle."

Yes, he was a little worried that Ulanov would react later and regret it and continue to cause trouble. Although he, as the commander of the military police, does not have many soldiers, he still has one or two thousand troops. Although he cannot defeat Ulanov head-on, even if the Hedgehog Group occupies a favorable terrain, it cannot be eaten in one bite.

Of course, this issue was not what he was most concerned about. After all, Anton had put his life and death aside and was prepared to sacrifice since he decided to go against Ulanov.

He is not afraid of death but is determined that even if he dies, he must die meaningfully. He gathers his confidants and has one more important task to do: "Have you checked the situation at the dock?"

"Commander, we have found out that there are a total of five ships, three steamships and two sailing ships. Since last night, they have been sending boxes of goods to those three steamships day and night. Especially this afternoon, the volume of cargo has increased. Quite big!”

Anton nodded and asked again: "Any clues about what's in the box?"

"The insider we installed found out that there are boxes of gold bars! In addition, there are a large number of antiques and oil paintings!"

Anton snorted coldly: "It seems that our governor is planning to run away!"

He was not surprised at all that Ulanov was planning to run away. If it were Ulanov, he would probably run away as well. After all, I have done too many immoral things and offended too many people. If I don’t make money and run away, how long will it take?

The only thing that surprised him was that this guy actually wanted to take the waterway, not that it was unsafe. On the contrary, Anton felt that the way to leave Kiev safely now was to take the waterway.

After all, Kiev has been completely surrounded by rebels. If you take the land route, you have to go in and out seven times like Zhao Zilong to fight your way out of the siege. Not to mention that Ulanov and his group are completely incomparable to Zhao Zilong, but the troops he has on hand are not enough for him to break through the encirclement.

So why was Anton surprised that Ulanov would choose to take the water route? The reason is very simple. He has been observing Ulanov's movements and discovered not long ago that this guy was secretly communicating with the rebels. He seemed to have made some kind of deal with the rebels in exchange for the rebels letting him leave Kiev safely.

This news is very conclusive. Since this guy has reached a deal with the rebels, the risk of leaving by land is not that great. So why does he still take the water route?

Anton could never figure this out. At one point he wondered if Ulanov was playing tricks again to confuse people about his true intentions.

But the boxes of gold bars, valuable antiques and oil paintings must not be fake. It is obvious that these things were loaded on the ship and could not be a cover-up.

"The situation is very critical now," Anton solemnly told his confidants. "Ulanov has made it clear that he is ready to abandon Kiev and escape, and may even deliberately give Kiev to the rebels. Once he escapes hundreds of thousands of Kiev citizens, And we will all be buried with him!"

He took a deep breath and said decisively: "So the top priority is to destroy his escape plan. Gentlemen, we must try our best to fight to the death, otherwise we will neither be able to explain to His Majesty nor to our family!"

Everyone had serious expressions and understood the seriousness of the matter. They were gearing up to fight Ulanov without the need for Anton to continue mobilizing!

"Tonight, concentrate our most elite forces to raid the dock and blow up the ship Ulanov uses to escape. As long as his ship is destroyed, I'll see how he can escape!"

Anton's idea is very simple. I can't stop you Ulanov from running away by land, but I can't help you if you want to take the waterway. I blew up your boat to see how you could run away, not to mention that all the wealth you looted was on the boat. If the boat sank, would you be willing to run away before you fished out the money?

It has to be said that Anton really figured out Ulanov's lifeline. He valued money more than anything else and it was impossible for him to give up these things. So when he was woken up by the housekeeper late that night, he learned that his money After the ship sank into the Dnieper River, he rolled his eyes and fainted...
