Chapter 1316 Dialogue
After the British evacuated, Hemmert took people to inspect Diego Garcia Island and got a preliminary understanding of it.
“This island is spread out in a long and narrow way, and the narrowest part is only about a few hundred meters, so if you want to use this place to build a military base, you obviously need to put more thought into it.”
"Based on the layout of the island, we can judge that the location where the British built the port is the most essential part of the island."
"Although it is not large in scale, it is an excellent haven. The available land is relatively scattered. ”
Although Diego Garcia covers an area of more than 20 square kilometers, it is an atoll and the land above the water is like a ribbon, so it appears to be extremely long and narrow. In previous generations, the US Air Force base used this unique terrain to construct airstrips.
In the following days, Hemmert led his team to carry out preliminary renovations on the island, mainly to remove some traces left by the British military base.
When the British withdrew, they took few things with them, including the food and ammunition in the warehouse, which were neatly stacked in the warehouse. However, the quantity of these materials was not very large. After all, the British troops were stationed here before. There were only about thirty people.
However, East Africa's massive effort to take over Diego Garcia this time seemed a bit wasteful, so Hemmert and his party did not stay here for too long. After leaving thirty naval personnel behind, Hemmert led The fleet returned to the homeland.
The next construction of Diego Garcia Island will naturally be carried out by local professionals. First, hydrological data must be collected on the entire Chagos Islands. There are many islands and reefs here, and some reefs are in the It is not easily observed at sea, which may pose a threat to ships unfamiliar with local conditions.
Therefore, although East Africa has taken over the Chagos Islands, it still has a lot of work to do. The port obviously needs to be expanded on a large scale, and the warehouses and barracks on the island also need to be expanded.
Unlike the United Kingdom, which does not pay much attention to Diego Garcia, East Africa will build it into one of the core military bases in the Indian Ocean.
……
June 5, 1918.
In the Rhine City, Ernst summoned Crown Prince Alexei and his entourage. After all, he had agreed to the British request to take action against Russia, so the East African government obviously still had to take some action.
Ernst said to Crown Prince Alexei: "Little Alexei, I have some very sorry news to tell you. After our long-term exploration, there is still no trace of your father and his companions."
At this point, Ernst did not lie to Alexey and others. The East African Defense and Security Bureau really tried to find traces of Nicholas II. But unfortunately, in the face of the Russian Labor Party, the Defense and Security Bureau's previous methods Most have failed.
During the era of the Tsarist government, the Defense Security Service could also become popular in Russia through bribery, favor networks, etc., but the Russian Labor Party did not pay attention to this method.
When it comes to the whereabouts of Nicholas II, the number one "criminal", the Russian Labor Party is obviously more rigorous and has not revealed any flaws.
If you think about it, you will know that Nicholas II's appeal is powerful. If his position was leaked, he would have been rescued by the Russian royalists.
Of course, if the National Defense and Security Bureau is willing to take risks and spend a lot of energy to find Nicholas II, it is still possible. After all, the Labor Party is not monolithic, especially the most grassroots members of the Labor Party. There are many gangsters mixed in. This kind of Opportunists are everywhere.
However, if you want to finally find the traces of Nicholas II through this kind of person, you must take huge risks, obtain a large amount of data, and mobilize a large number of professionals for analysis.
Unfortunately, the East African Defense and Security Agency is currently in the midst of a "big retreat" from Russia. It is already short of manpower, and it is impossible to spend a lot of energy looking for Nicholas II.
“Your parents and two sisters are, according to what we know, most likely imprisoned by the Labor Party somewhere in eastern Russia, which makes it even more difficult to find their traces.”< br>
“After all, the area covered by eastern Russia is too large and the population is still small. If the Russian Labor Party wants to hide a few people in the east, it will be really difficult to be discovered.”
Faced with Ernst's rhetoric, it was obvious that Crown Prince Alexei and others were quite convinced. Crown Prince Alexei expressed gratitude: "Thank you Your Majesty and your people for their efforts in finding my father. If my father and family can be found in the future, I believe they will also thank you for your help."
< br>
After this life experience, Alexei has obviously matured a lot.
Ernst asked: "Have anyone from Russia come into contact with you recently?"
In fact, Alexei and his party are under surveillance in East Africa at all times. Of course, this kind of surveillance is obviously not easy to detect, so Ernst asked this to avoid suspicion.
Alexei said honestly: "In addition to Uncle Baranov, there are also some Russians who came to East Africa and met us, but most of them were people from the original government."
This It is a normal thing. With Nicholas II missing, the Russian nobles must only look for Alexei as their leader.
The news that Alexei is in East Africa is basically a well-known thing. After all, when Alexei and his team visited East Africa, it was a public event in Russia.
However, the Russians at that time obviously did not expect the sudden change in Russia's domestic situation. As a result, Alexei has now become a life-saving straw for Russian aristocrats and members of the old government.
Ernst asked: "Do you have any plans to reorganize the Russian government?"
The government mentioned here naturally refers to the government-in-exile, and it is quite common to organize a government-in-exile in Europe.
For this point, Alexei was a little moved. It was not that he was greedy for power, or that he hoped to restore the Tsarist Russian regime.
Rather, I want to concentrate all available power to rescue my relatives first, and then consider other things.
So, Alexei asked: "Your Majesty, is your government willing to help us people living in East Africa?"
Ernst said: "Of course, we support you Organize a new Russian government and call on other forces in Russia to counterattack the Russian Labor Party.”
"So far since the Russian Labor Party seized power, the Russian revolution has not only not been quelled, but has intensified. According to the information we have obtained, the Russian Labor Party has now almost stabilized Russia's situation in the core areas of Europe."
"If Let them develop Go, then Russia may really be reduced to a place of no return, and although the forces in Russia seem to be strong, since your father was imprisoned, they are like headless flies, posing no threat to the Russian Labor Party. "< br>
“So this time At this time, if you want to avoid being defeated by the Russian Labor Party, someone must stand up and unite the Russians, and this person is only Nicholas II who can do it, but he is missing, so there is no candidate who can play his role. There is no better choice than you.”
After listening to Ernst’s analysis, Alexei felt very heavy. It can be said that the activities of the Russian Labor Party in Russia are like wildfires. The seemingly powerful reactionary force cannot stand the test at all. Otherwise, It is impossible for the situation in Russia to "deteriorate" to such an extent.
After thinking for a moment, Alexei said to Ernst: "Please help us restore order in Russia."
Ernst nodded and said: "This is natural. What Russia lacks most now is leaders, and there are many Russian nobles living in East Africa. We can help you call them over. You select some credible people to form a new Russia." government.”
“At the same time, we must consider the government The temporary establishment in any city, regardless of the cities on the east and west coasts of our country, has its own advantages and disadvantages, which can help you get in touch with the country, so as to direct the people loyal to the tsar in Russia to fight against the Labor Party.
