Chapter 1299 Kazan Treasury Robbery
This is naturally not the conscience of the Russian Provisional Government. After all, the Russian aristocrats and capitalists themselves are one family, and the division is not very clear. The more places you go, the more so. Not only will they not kill them all, but they will buy them off in order to stabilize the situation.
Therefore, many local forces in Russia, such as Kazan, currently choose to wait and see about the Labor Party regime. Rumors are spreading in St. Petersburg, and it is difficult to tell whether the news is true or false. It is difficult for even the top Russians to know the true situation in Russia today.
And Berezovka, the bandit leader, could actually know the situation thousands of miles away and within Russia. This seemed to Chubalov to be a bit of a magical power.
Of course, Chubalov didn't feel strange when he thought that Berezovka could obtain the army's weapons from regular channels.
Instead, he said excitedly: "What the general means is that the domestic situation is in chaos now. No matter what we do, the central government has no energy to deal with us!"
Berezovka nodded and said: "Not only that, the current situation can be said that whoever has a gun in his hand can gain the right to rule a large area. As long as we can capture Kazan, in the future, you will be appointed as a high-ranking official." It’s not impossible to do it.”
"Has the situation... deteriorated to this extent?" Chubalov asked with some uncertainty.
Berezovka said with certainty: "This is natural. The chaos in St. Petersburg today is different from the past. They are a team organized by workers and soldiers in St. Petersburg. The entire Russian government has regarded them as mortal enemies."
"After we capture Kazan City, as long as we win over the powerful people in the city, we may be able to dominate in the future."
Berezovka tried his best to deceive his subordinates. As for the Russian Labor Party in St. Petersburg, it was obviously not as weak as he said.
After all, if they dare to seize power in St. Petersburg, they are naturally well prepared, especially in the face of the encirclement and suppression by domestic reactionary forces.
The strength of the Labor Party is reflected in its grassroots organizations. Through these grassroots organizations, their influence cannot be limited to St. Petersburg.
In the military, they have been very successful in infiltrating local areas. They only need to raise their arms and many areas with St. Petersburg as the core can immediately change their flags, especially cities where the Labor Party is active.
In fact, there must be Labor Party organizations in large Russian cities like Kazan, but they have not had time to mobilize workers and soldiers. After all, it is far away from the core of Russia, and even changes will take time to spread.
Berezovka planned to use this time gap to seize control of Kazan.
Berezovka did not care about the thoughts of his subordinates. He ordered Chubalov: "Pass my order and march to Kazan."
Most members of Berezovka's army are composed of local bandits, and all of them are cavalry. This is also a characteristic of most "horse bandits" in Russia.
More than 10,000 cavalry marched toward Kazan in a mighty manner, leaving large horseshoe marks on the snow. The snow was turned into a puddle of black water by the horses' hooves and soil.
Under this situation, the Kazan garrison did not know the coming disaster. After all, under the ice and snow, who would have thought that such a large group of "bandits" would gather outside the city of Kazan.
Even though the march was difficult due to snow, the Berezovka gang arrived in Kazan before noon.
At this time, the defense of Kazan City was extremely weak, and because they could not imagine that any bandit forces would dare to attack Kazan City, they even thought that the army led by Berezovka was Siberian reinforcements from the east to support the front line.
This is not without precedent. When the battlefield on the Eastern Front was at its fiercest, the tsarist government often mobilized troops from the east. Even Siberia was no exception, and Kazan was originally a transportation hub city.
Therefore, many Russian troops supporting the front line will circulate here in Kazan. Coupled with the typical Cossack army attire of Berezovka and his party, it is even more difficult to distinguish the authenticity from the fake.
By the time the defense forces reacted, it was already too late. After a short and rapid battle, the Berezovka gang easily took control of the east side of Kazan City.
However, Kazan is a big city after all, and there are still thousands of troops stationed in the city. In addition, they occupy advantageous terrain, so it is not easy for Berezovka and his party to capture Kazan.
In Kazan City. "The fight is about to start. It's probably the Pelicans who have taken action. How are you prepared for the Nightingales?" said an ordinary-looking middle-aged man from a stronghold in Kazan City.
"Pelican" is the code name, which is Berezovka. Obviously Berezovka is also a fake name, and his true identity is actually an agent of the Defense Security Service.
The man known as Nightingale said: "Everything is ready, sir."
"According to our intelligence, since the beginning of the war, a lot of Russian precious metals, currencies, etc. have flowed into Kazan through various channels."
"According to inside information, this huge amount of funds may be used for transactions between Russia, Japan, and the United States. We do not know the specific value, but the security measures of the Kazan treasury are extremely tight."
"There are roughly a thousand people guarding the treasury, but except for a group of 300 Russian security personnel with live ammunition, most of them are not afraid."
Following Nightingale's words, I finally learned about the East African Defense and Security Agency's plans in Kazan. This operation can be said to be audacious.
That is to rob the Russian treasury in Kazan, and the so-called "Kazan Army" led by Berezovka is naturally a gang supported by the East African Defense and Security Agency.
The attack and capture of Kazan was false, but the looting of the Russian treasury in Kazan was true. As for why the National Defense and Security Administration knew that there was a Russian treasury here.
This is also easy to explain. After all, the East African Defense and Security Agency is currently the largest, most staffed, and most professional intelligence agency in the world.
There are tens of thousands of East African Defense and Security Service personnel in Russia alone, which shows the seriousness of East Africa's penetration of Russia in recent years.
Faced with the penetration of such a large intelligence agency into the country, the Russian side was completely unaware. After all, the war attracted their attention.
Therefore, the East African Defense and Security Service's operations in Russia in recent years can be said to be very smooth. Except for the Labor Party, most Russian government organizations, agencies, and important enterprises have personnel from the East African Defense and Security Service.
This allows the Defense and Security Bureau to obtain a large amount of useful information, including the flow of funds within many Russian enterprises or the government. This is how the Kazan treasury was touched by the East African Defense and Security Bureau. Since the tsarist era, the Defense and Security Bureau has paid attention to To the anomaly in Kazan, a large amount of foreign currency and precious metals flowed into Kazan.
However, before, the National Defense and Security Administration chose to stand still, but has been accumulating relevant intelligence, just to wait until this day, Russia has completely collapsed and the world is in chaos, fishing in troubled waters.
Of course, the East African Defense and Security Agency is also aware of the powerful armed forces of the Russian government in Kazan, so they support the "Kazan Army" and use war to deceive others.
Now Berezovka's army has started fighting with the Kazan garrison. The whole city's attention has been attracted, and ordinary people are hiding in their homes and dare not go out.
This provides conditions for the East African Defense and Security Service personnel in Kazan City.
Therefore, Gold, the top commander of Kazan's National Defense and Security Bureau, ordered: "According to our previous deployment, storm the Kazan Treasury!"
Subsequently, more than 2,000 elite members of the National Defense and Security Bureau in Kazan, as well as some deceived Russian gangsters and gang members, totaling about 4,000 people, fiercely headed towards the Kazan Treasury.
They drove trucks directly, carrying weapons and explosive devices, and headed towards the treasury in a swagger. The National Defense and Security Bureau had already figured out the specific information of the Kazan treasury, and there were only some differences in details at most.
But these details are no longer important. After all, the National Defense and Security Agency planned to attack by force from the beginning, not to achieve its goal by bribing insiders, which would not be possible.
In this way, at the end of 1917, when Kazan City was attacked by the Berezovka gang, a robbery comparable to a large-scale military conflict also occurred in Kazan City.
The Russian treasury in Kazan was forcibly exploded. According to reports, about one hundred tons of gold and other valuables were missing.
Most people in later generations believed that the Berezovka bandits who captured Kazan robbed this treasure, but no one knows how and where the Berezovka bandits hid this gold.
