Chapter 1298 Berezovka Gang
At the end of 1917, the East African Defense and Security Service began extensive activities throughout Russia. As Russia is a world power, East Africa's presence in Russia is naturally not small.
The tasks of this round of the National Defense and Security Administration mainly involve 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 to monitor the flow of various Russian resources... The other is to assist Russian scientific researchers, nobles, and wealthy people who intend to develop in East Africa to monitor the flow of various resources in Russia... The second is to assist the Russian scientific researchers, nobles, and wealthy people who intend to develop in East Africa. , successfully escaped from Russia.
Taking advantage of the current turbulent situation in Russia, anyone in East Africa can make a mouthful of whatever they can get. Even under special circumstances, it is not impossible for agents to pretend to be "white bandits" in Russia and directly carry out robbing houses.
As early as the beginning of this century, the East African Defense and Security Agency has focused on laying out relevant information about Russia. It can be said that where in Russia there are core technologies, where scientific researchers live, the location of bank vaults, etc., a large amount of information has been extensively covered.
Kazan.
Kazan, located on the banks of 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 Moscow, and it is even known as the third capital of Russia.
Although Russia's western front was affected by the war and was beaten to pieces, and even the capital St. Petersburg faced 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. By the 20th century, Kazan had become one of the most important industrial cities in Russia.
Beginning in 1916, a "bandit" force suddenly emerged around Kazan City, which quickly merged with 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. After all, Russia is a country with very poor public security. Because of its huge land area and poor transportation conditions, Russia has a natural space for bandits to grow. .
In fact, except for imperialist countries with small areas and relatively strong government management capabilities such as Britain, France, and Germany, countries with huge land areas such as Russia and the United States will face banditry problems to some extent.
East Africa is naturally an exception. After all, under the long-term planned economy, the state machinery in East Africa has developed to an outrageous level. Coupled with the state system in East Africa, not many people are willing to take risks, let alone form a "small-scale" "Gangs" do not even exist in East Africa.
Now, about thirty kilometers away from the outskirts of Kazan, Russia, an army is gathering together, numbering about 10,000 people.
"General Berezovka! With our little strength, can we really attack Kazan?" Chubalov, a bandit leader riding a horse, asked worriedly.
Berezovka is the latest bandit leader to emerge near Kazan City. Of course, it can be known from Chubalov's words that he calls himself a general.
The man named Berezovka looked at Chubalov with sinister eyes and said nothing, but this look alone made Chubalov shiver all over.
This reminded Chubalov of the scene when he first met Berezovka and his party. No one knew the origin of Berezovka.
However, the bandits around Kazan speculated that they might be the defeated army of the Russian front line. Although there were only a few hundred people, they were decisive in killing and well-armed. It took less than a year to rule the bandit forces near Kazan.
"Now that I have made a decision, I am absolutely sure. If you have any objections, you can withdraw." Berezovka said indifferently.
When Chubalov heard Berezovka's words, he cursed in his heart: "Quit? I'm afraid if I agree at the front, I will be shot in the back!"
Of course, Chubalov would definitely not dare to say this in front of Berezovka. Let alone Berezovka, even with other people, Chubalov would not dare to say a word.
Thinking of this, Chubalov had to admire Berezovka's methods. As a force that was forcibly integrated by Berezovka, the bandits near Kazan naturally could not be honest, but those with ideas They've all gone to hell.
Chubalov tried to please the **** of death in front of him and said: "Your Excellency General, I have no other intentions. The main reason is that we have dealt with the Kazan garrison in the past." "They are regular troops, with bandits like us. The little people 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, in order to support the front line, they had no time to do anything else, so they stopped for a while. But even if most of the main force of the Kazan garrison has been transferred away, it is not something we can provoke."
It can be said that the bandits near Kazan were having a bad time. They finally sent away the elite of Kazan, but the cruel man Berezovka appeared from nowhere.
In the past year or so, almost all the bandits near Kazan have been beaten by Berezovka and his gang, especially some of the largest gangs. Berezovka simply killed at least half of them. people.
Chubalov was originally a small bandit leader around Kazan, but he only had twenty or thirty men. Before Berezovka arrived, they also robbed Russian people.
After Berezovka arrived here, he first conquered the largest local gang, and then used this as a basis to sweep away the bandit forces around Kazan.
After all, as colleagues, the bandits in Kazan naturally have contacts. If one family falls, the next family will be involved.
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 is so strong, it is naturally because he has money, guns and people. Although there were only about four to five hundred people who followed Berezov to Kazan initially.
However, these hundreds of people in Mosingana even have machine guns and small-caliber artillery, and they have sufficient weapons and ammunition. Apart from the local Russian garrison around Kazan, there is probably no force that can be their opponent.
This is why Chubalov and other Kazan bandits suspected that Berezovka had a background in the Russian army.
Berezovka said in an arrogant tone: "Humph, now that we have guns and cannons in our hands, how can the Kazan city defense army be our opponents?"
"And you overestimate his combat effectiveness. All the original elites in Kazan have been transferred to the west. Now, only our Kazan army is the most powerful near Kazan."
Chubalov stammered: "But the problem is that even if we attack Kazan, we will be suppressed by the government! They can deploy troops from other places to encircle and suppress us."
For Chubalov, Berezovka’s behavior was simply courting death. The government usually did not eliminate these bandits mainly 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 compete with the country. Machine versus machine.
What seemed like an attack on a city in Kazan was actually tantamount to declaring war on the Russian government, which had millions of troops under its command.
Berezovka said calmly: "What are you worried about? The order in Russia has long since collapsed. St. Petersburg has been occupied by the rebels. The Russian government is finished. What's more, they still have to face threats from the Allies. The mountain is too far away from St. Petersburg and Moscow. Even if the new government reacts, we will have grown bigger. "
Berezovka's shocking information frightened Chubalov into confusion. He could not believe whether what Berezovka said was true.
This is actually easy to understand, because the order in eastern Russia such as Kazan is still maintained, and even the government personnel are still the same people from the Tsarist era.
Therefore, the Kazan government naturally tries its best to cover up the news that the Labor Party has seized power in St. Petersburg and other areas. At the same time, they are also hesitant. Many people do not even know the attitude of the Labor Party regime towards them.
In their expectation, it would be best to be like the last domestic coup in Russia. Although the provisional government represents the interests of capitalism, it will also issue edicts to them, the "pillars" of the empire.
