Chapter 1298 The 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 the National Defense and Security Administration this round 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 second is to successfully escape from Russia after completing the mission.
Taking advantage of the current turbulent situation in Russia, anyone in East Africa can make their mouth water with just a little bit of it. Even under special circumstances, agents pretend to be "white bandits" in Russia and directly carry out robbing houses. no.
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 are the core technologies in Russia, where do scientific researchers live, the location of bank vaults, etc. A large amount of information is available Cover a wide range of topics.
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. Even the capital St. Petersburg faced the threat of war, but Kazan, deep in the hinterland 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 was 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 such as Britain, France, and Germany, which are small in size and have relatively strong government management capabilities, 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 The formation of "gangs" of a slightly larger scale does not exist in East Africa.
Currently, 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 only took less than a year to rule Kazan. Banditry nearby.
"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 agreed at the front, I would be shot in the back!"
Of course, Chubalov would not dare to say this in front of him. Chubalov did not dare to say a word to Berezovka, let alone Berezovka, even to other people.
Berezovka made the entire gang so impregnable that no one knew if there were any spies from Berezovka around him.
Thinking of this, Chubalov also 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 who had ideas are already in hell.
Qiu Balov flattered the god of death in front of him and said: "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. Little people like us who came from bandits are no match for them. Every once in a while, the local garrison in Kazan will encircle and suppress us.”
“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 had a bad time. They finally sent away the elite of Kazan, but the ruthless 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. They simply let Berezovka Fuka killed at least half of them.
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 or five hundred people who followed Berezov to Kazan initially.
But these hundreds of people in Mosingana even have machine guns and small-caliber artillery, and they have plenty of weapons and ammunition. Except for the local Russian garrison around Kazan, I am afraid there is no such force at all. their opponents.
This is why Chubalov and other Kazan bandits suspected that Berezovka had a background in the Russian army.
Berezovka said in a proud 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."
Qiu Balov knotted Baba's Said: "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, Berezov Fuka's behavior is simply seeking death. The government usually does not eliminate these bandits mainly because it does not want to cause trouble. This does not mean that the government does not have the ability to eliminate them. After all, no one can fight against the state 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 Russian order has collapsed long ago. St. Petersburg has been occupied by the chaos. The Russian government is finished. What's more, they still have to face Threat from Allies, Kazan Distance St. Petersburg and Moscow are too far away. Even if the new government reacts, we will have already grown bigger.”
Berezovka’s shocking information frightened Chubalov and he was at a loss. I dare to believe that Berezovka is telling the truth.
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.
So 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.
