Anatoly raised his eyes and looked at Yefim in surprise, not knowing why he said that. In his view, stationing in Podolsk is simply a doomsday situation, where there is no hope at all.
Yefim looked around and signaled to Anatole that this was not the place to talk.
Anatoly understood what he meant, then nodded and led Yefim to his office.
"Your Excellency, before this, I would like to ask you, did you voluntarily station in Podolsk?" Yefim said lightly.
Anatoly was taken aback for a moment, and then his face was full of anger. "It wasn't that old fellow Kutuzov who used military orders to suppress me. Everyone knew that there was a quarrel between me and him, and that's why he sent me here, obviously trying to kill me by the hands of the French. "
Yefim nodded, and then said: "I sympathize with you very much. Similarly, the fate of both of us is similar. We are both abandoned by Kutuzov and even the country."
Anatoly sighed helplessly, the situation is better than people! Kutuzov is now in charge of the country's military power, and even if he wants to eliminate dissidents, others have nothing to do.
"In this case, why didn't we choose to fight back? Since Kutuzov treated us like this and His Majesty Nicholas didn't care about us, then there is no need for us to work hard for them." Yefim gritted his teeth and said.
"What? Do you want to...?" Anatoly said with some horror.
"That's right. Since Kutuzov and Nicholas have treated us unkindly, we have no choice but to be unjust. Staying in Podolsk is a dead end, even if it is not killed by the French, Podolsk is occupied by the French army After that, Kutuzov will not let us go, and he will definitely send us to a military court in a justifiable manner. Instead of doing this, we might as well give it a go." Yefim said firmly.
Anatoly felt that his brain was not enough. Although he was also ruthless to Kutuzov and Nikolai, he never thought of betraying Russia. For a while, it was difficult for him to make a decision.
"General, you have to know that we are saving Russia by doing that." Seeing that Anatoly was still hesitating, Yefim couldn't help but continued to persuade him.
"Why?" asked Anatole. He really couldn't figure out why Yefim would say that he betrayed Russia, even stabbing him in the back was still saving Russia.
"General, think about it carefully. Since Nicholas came to power and Kutuzov took control of the military, our country has never won a war. A large number of Russian young and middle-aged men died on the battlefield. If this continues, Russia will definitely It will fall into a place of eternal doom. Only by ending this war as soon as possible can Russia have a chance to recuperate. Nikolai, Kutuzov and others are no longer suitable to lead Russia, so we must drive them out so that we can Save Russia. In order to achieve this goal, we have to choose to cooperate with the French, because their goal is the same as ours. Nikolai and Kutuzov have posed a threat to France, which is also what caused the war between France and Russia There are constant reasons. As long as we can eliminate this threat, then Russia will be able to achieve peace." Yefim persuaded.
Anatoly felt that what Yefim said was reasonable, but he still couldn't make up his mind, because he was a man of reputation, and he was afraid of being accused of being a traitor to the nation, which is why he knew that Kutuzov was determined to kill him Death, but still led the army to fight against the French in Podolsk.
As if understanding what Anatoly was thinking, Yefim said: "General, you must know that we are doing this to save Russia, and the people will definitely understand our painstaking efforts, and we will be national heroes by then."
Anatoly rolled his eyes, and the honor of 'national hero' was undoubtedly very attractive to him. After a long time, Anatoly finally nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you. Go ahead and do it, I fully support you."
Yefim was overjoyed. He knew that his plan had been more than half successful, and then asked, "General, what about your generals? Will they listen to you?"
"Don't worry about that, they are all my subordinates who have been fighting with me for many years, and they will definitely not betray me." Anatoly said with certainty.
Anatoly nodded, and then called the guards to fetch those generals in the name of holding an emergency combat meeting.
"Do you think the French will agree to our proposal?" Anatoly asked with some uncertainty.
"I will. I heard that Leonid was immediately appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Russian Liberation Army after he defected to the French. I think we are at least no worse than him. Besides, we are revolting now, which can be regarded as a You have done the French a great favor, I believe they will not treat us badly. You just wait to be the commander-in-chief." Yefim laughed loudly.
Anatoly also nodded, looking a little excited. Now not only do you not have to die, but you can also enjoy the glory and wealth, only a fool would refuse. Now, those so-called "national righteousness" no longer know where they have gone.
After a while, a group of people came to Anatoly's office. These people are all senior generals of the Russian army in Podolsk. Among them, there are several subordinates of Anatoly, one lieutenant general, two major generals and three brigadier generals, as well as several generals brought by Yefim. It's two major generals and two brigadier generals.
Seeing that everyone was present, Yefim directly stated his proposal. With Anatoly's support, he didn't have to worry about anything. In addition, most of these generals were "exiled" here, and they also had more or less resentment towards Kutuzov. I believe that even if they would not agree to his proposal, at least they would not oppose it.
After hearing Yefim's proposal, almost everyone was very surprised, but some people's faces were filled with joy, and they believed that they also valued their own lives more than anything else.
"I don't know what General Anatoly means? Do you agree with General Yefim's proposal?" asked the lieutenant general on Anatoly's side. After all, it is not easy for them to express their opinions casually without clarifying Anatole's meaning.
Anatoly glanced at everyone, then nodded and said: "Yes, this is a proposal after I discussed it with General Yefim. Kutuzov sent us to Podolsk to kill people with a knife, of course we can't Let his plot succeed."
With Anatoly's affirmation, things became much easier, and everyone expressed their willingness to follow Anatoly and Yefim. Yefim was also very happy, he knew that his plan had succeeded. Everyone agreed that this was undoubtedly the best result, otherwise, he would definitely get rid of those who opposed it without hesitation. After all, the news cannot be leaked until there is a reply from France, otherwise the situation will become uncontrollable by then.
Next, at Yefim's suggestion, Anatoly quietly sent someone to contact the French army to express their intentions.
That night, Mike and Otis were both grieving over the battle. But the news they got later made them almost jump for joy.
"It won't take long for us to occupy Podolsk." Mike said excitedly.
"Yeah! I didn't expect them to take the initiative to ask for surrender. But it's good, and it saved us a lot of casualties." Otis was also very happy.
The two of them couldn't make up their minds about such a matter. After all, some of the conditions proposed by the Russian side needed Xiao Jie's approval, so the two immediately sent the news to the Kaluga front commander where Xiao Jie was. department.
Upon receiving this news, Xiao Jie immediately realized that if he could succeed, then the next war would go much smoother. And the conditions put forward by the Russian side are not too much, nothing more than two points, one is that the interests of these people in Podolsk must be guaranteed, and the other is that after the war is over, they must occupy a high position in the new regime.
In order to facilitate the thoroughness of Podolsk~www.mtlnovel.com~ Xiao Jie fully agreed to their conditions. Ordered the formation of the Russian Revolutionary Army, with Anatoly and Yefim serving as the commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief respectively. Other personnel orders of the army are also in their own hands, and the French side will not interfere. At the same time, they also promised to support them in establishing a "democratic and independent" country after overthrowing the rule of Nicholas and Kutuzov.
Of course, it is impossible for Xiao Jie to just sit back and watch the country they built become stronger. That would undoubtedly be setting him up as an opponent. In Xiao Jie's mind, he has already thought about how to deal with Russia after the defeat, that is, France directly occupies a piece of fertile land in Russia, and the rest of the land supports them in establishing a country, establishing two or more countries, and letting them fight by themselves. own people. In this case, the divided Russia will never have a strong day, and naturally it will no longer pose a threat to France.
Xiao Jie's reply made Anatoly and Yefim very happy, because this condition was too generous, not only allowing them to hold the power, but also promised to support them to build a country, which they had never thought of. Therefore, both of them felt that this move was the right one. At the same time, it also began to actively cooperate with the French army, preparing to take Podolsk without any accidents.
In this way, for their own benefit, Nikolao and Kutuzov were once again mercilessly betrayed by their subjects and subordinates.
