"We cannot let the Chinese take away the wealth, we must take back the wealth. Otherwise, we will not have enough funds to develop Russia. In the future, we will still have no chance to turn around!" Zhukovsky said solemnly. In the plan they formulated, the wealth of the royal family is very important, which is related to whether Russia can quickly establish a strong industry after the war, and even directly related to Russia's future.

"However, there are as many as 70,000 Chinese people outside St. Petersburg. And we have no soldiers in our hands!" Duke Gorchakov frowned. After the Prussian army entered St. Petersburg, the 200,000 Russian troops here surrendered to the Prussian army. They handed over their weapons and were temporarily taken care of by the Prussian army. The entire St. Petersburg was already controlled by the Prussians.

"We ask the Prussians to find a solution. They are absolutely unwilling to watch this wealth fall into the control of the Chinese." said Earl Nesserrodi, Foreign Minister.

"Looking for the Prussians? Will they agree? After all, the 70,000 Chinese cavalry is not easy to mess with. In addition, even if the Prussians help us regain the wealth, they will definitely divide a large part of it!" said the Duke of Gorchakov.

"If the Prussians do not take action, all the wealth will be taken away by the Chinese. At that time, we will not get any. If the Prussians cooperate with us, we may still be able to leave some wealth. In addition, without the help of the Prussians, we cannot re-arm the captured soldiers!" Duke Rukovsky also said.

Everyone looked at Tsar Alexander II and waited for him to make the final decision. As Russian ministers, they could only analyze various possibilities. As for what suggestions to adopt, this is what Tsar Alexander II is doing.

"Okay! Tell the Prussians and let them help us! Those wealth belong to Russia. The Chinese should not take it away!" Alexander II said gritting his teeth. He was very angry and depressed in his heart now. The Chinese were like robbers. Not only did they destroy their country, but they also had to snatch all the wealth accumulated by the royal family, which was absolutely unacceptable.

"Yes, your majesty!" the ministers all replied. Next, they immediately began to divide the work and cooperate. The Foreign Minister Earl Nesserrodi and the Russian Commander-in-Chief of the Army Duke Gorchakov went to the command of the Prussian Army to seek help from the Prussian Army. Marshal Wittgenstein, the chief of the Russian General Staff, formulated a plan to regain wealth. Now there is not much time left for the Russians, and they must cherish every minute.

In the command of the Prussian Army, Lieutenant General Lalk von Sosta was listening to the report of the staff officer. The Chinese cavalry were launching a fierce attack on the imperial village, which was greatly beyond the lieutenant general's expectations. When the guns and cannons just sounded, they thought that the Chinese cavalry were going to tear up the treaty and launch an attack on St. Petersburg? In this case, it would undoubtedly be a severe test for the Prussian Army.

Although the Prussian army stationed in St. Petersburg had more than 50,000 people. However, it is undoubtedly a problem to deal with the attack of the 70,000 Chinese army. Fortunately, those Chinese army are all cavalry, and cavalry are the worst at siege. As long as you no longer fight with Chinese cavalry in the field and defend St. Petersburg to the death, the Prussian army also has a great chance of winning. No matter how bad it is, you can persist until the arrival of reinforcements.

"General. Russian Foreign Minister Earl Nesserrodi and Russian Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Army Duke Gorchakov asked for a meeting!" A staff officer reported to Lieutenant General Lark von Sosta.

"Russians? What are they doing?" Lieutenant General Lalk von Sosta frowned. He looked down on these Russians as Prussian nobles. He actually let the Prussian army occupy a large area of ​​their territory without taking a shot, which was simply embarrassing. However, this was undoubtedly very beneficial to the Kingdom of Prussia. Therefore, Lieutenant General Lalk von Sosta hesitated for a while and met with Earl Nesserrodi and Duke Gorchakov.

"Two. What is your purpose this time?" Lieutenant General Lalk von Sosta asked straight to the point without much greeting.

"General, we are here for the battle that is taking place in the imperial village." said Count Nesserrodi.

"Oh? Do you know why the Chinese attacked there?" Lieutenant General Lalk von Sosta asked in surprise. He had been wondering why the Chinese attacked the imperial village more than 20 kilometers away from St. Petersburg, instead of directly attacking St. Petersburg. After all, it was just a place where the Tsar occasionally went to live in small places, far from St. Petersburg, which had a huge effect.

"Most of the wealth accumulated by the Russian royal family in the past dynasties was stored in the treasure house of the imperial village. The Chinese did not know where they learned this news, so they launched an attack on the imperial village! Now, we must stop them!" Duke Gorchakov said directly. He had no concealment. These Prussians were not fools. If they wanted to use the power of the Prussians to attack the Chinese cavalry and regain the wealth, they could not hide it at all. Otherwise, they would probably backfire!

"What? The wealth of the Russian royal family is stored in the royal village? How is that possible?" Lieutenant General Lark von Sosta first looked shocked, and then his expression turned into deep jealousy. They arrived in St. Petersburg before the Chinese cavalry. If they also knew the news, then it would not be the Chinese who attacked the imperial village, but them.

The Prussian Kingdom also coveted the wealth of the Russian royal family. Although the Prussian royal family was historically studied, it was impossible to compare with the Russian royal family in terms of wealth. During this war, the Prussian Kingdom had consumed a lot of national strength. Whether it was King William I or Prime Minister Otto von Bismarck, they were trying their best to supplement the strength of the Prussian Kingdom. If the wealth of the Russian royal family could be seized, it would undoubtedly be very useful in restoring the strength of the Prussian Kingdom.

"Yes, general. Now, we need the help of the Kingdom of Prussia. We cannot watch those Chinese take away those wealth!" Nesserrodie's face was full of hatred.

However, Lieutenant General Lalk von Sosta did not reply immediately. The previous war between the Chinese Empire and the Prussian Kingdom in Stupino in southern Moscow had attracted the attention of the Prussian Kingdom. The General Staff even issued an order, and the generals on the front line had to restrain their troops and could not have conflicts with the Chinese Empire. They could not give the Chinese Empire reasons and excuses to go to war.

If Lieutenant General Lalk von Sosta leads his army to attack the Chinese cavalry outside St. Petersburg, it will definitely lead to the outbreak of war between the Chinese Empire and the Prussian Kingdom. At that time, he will likely become a sinner of the Prussian Kingdom. As a senior general of the Prussian Army, even if he is unwilling to admit it, he also knows that if the war begins now, the Prussian Kingdom will have no chance of winning.

"Two, I need to report this news to the country!" Lieutenant General Lalk von Sosta said. He obviously could not make a decision on such a major event.

"But general, this will waste too much time. Our troops in the imperial village cannot hold on for much time." Duke Gorchakov was a little anxious.

In response, Lieutenant General Lalk von Sosta said he was powerless. Although he was a Prussian lieutenant general, if the war broke out, the responsibility would not be borne by his little shoulders.

"General, why not do this? First, let our army be armed and we will fight with the Chinese! You will make a choice after the domestic order is issued!" said Count Nesserrodi.

Lieutenant General Lalk von Sosta pondered for a few seconds, and finally nodded.

"Thank you, General. As long as you regain those wealth, Russia will never forget the Prussian Kingdom!" Earl Nesserrodied hurriedly said.

Although the Prussian Army did not directly intervene in the war, it was rare to allow them to re-arm the Russian army and then attack the Chinese army. After all, there were as many as 200,000 Russian troops in the prisoner-of-war camps. Their weapons and equipment were also sealed, and as long as they were distributed, they could fight immediately.

Of course, it will take a lot of time to arm the 200,000 Russian troops. By then, the imperial village had already been captured by the Chinese army.

Countless Russian soldiers walked out of the prisoner-of-war camp, picked up their weapons again, and then drove to the outskirts of St. Petersburg, preparing to attack the Chinese cavalry. The order they received was that the Chinese tried to take away the wealth of the royal family and completely killed the opportunity for Russia to rise again. As Russian soldiers, they should fight to the end for Russia's future.

However, it took time for these Russian troops to re-arm and go to the front line. During this period, the 11th Imperial Cavalry Brigade had already captured the imperial village.

"Boom boom boom!"

Dense mortar shells fell into the Russian position, and several Russian heavy machine gunners were killed on the spot. The imperial cavalry took the opportunity to attack the Russian position and began to clear out the Russian army inside.

After heavy casualties, the imperial cavalry finally captured the entire imperial village. The Tsar's treasure house was also found.

When the gate of the treasure house was opened, everyone was stunned. There was a glimmer of golden light inside, especially the gold ingots cast and placed neatly, piled up like a hill, attracting everyone's attention.
