Yegorov had a very fulfilling life this month. He left the political department of the Red Army General Command, which made him feel relieved. It is really not a good job to be responsible for identifying old officers. To put it bluntly, it is thankless to say that.

Why do I say that? I have said before that Yegorov himself is an old officer. He asked him, the old officer, to identify his former colleagues, to be awkward. And it is very difficult to say that the future future of these identified officers can be said to be completely determined. A word of life and death is determined. Although this kind of power sounds very cool and awesome, it is very practical to operate Yalishan!

What is terrible is not only the identification work itself, but also the possibility of this work being found. Although Yegorov was working diligently, he could not make a promise by slapping his chest and saying that there was no problem with the old officer he identified!

No one can guarantee this! Because human nature is too complicated, it is not ruled out that counter-revolutionaries who are good at disguising and hidden deeply can get in. It is impossible to guarantee whether the old military officers who are not counter-revolutionaries at this time will become counter-revolutionaries in the future.

Human nature is fickle. Can you see through the direction of a person ten or eight years later? No one can have such ability to have a sharp eye. Even if it is replaced by a certain immortal, it will be useless. What's more, Yegorov, who has no magical skills?

Moreover, how to define the counter-revolutionary thing, there is really no standard to operate. In many cases, in the Soviet era, whether a counter-revolutionary was not determined by specific behavior, but by political needs and the intentions of superiors.

This situation even makes Yalishanda, the person who is responsible for the identification work. If the person who passes the identification becomes a counter-revolutionary inexplicably, who should I ask for reason? If it is not done well, I will hold the responsibility for the "identification error".

Although Yegorov was a soldier, he did not know anything about politics. At least he had been scrambled to the Social Revolutionary Party. What was going on? He still knew something. So when a fairy invited him to join, the reason why he agreed was that he would escape from the General Political Department of the Red Army.

Now, he is very satisfied with this decision. Although the border police force does not sound like a regular force at first, and the number of people is not too large, it has caused him to unload his heavy burden. He can pay full attention to military issues, rather than worrying about whether politics is correct.

This simple and relaxed working atmosphere made him very comfortable, or he was a little happy. Until a certain immortal suddenly found him.

"What? Do you want the troops to prepare for combat within one month?" Yegorov asked in disbelief.

"That's right." Li Xiaofeng nodded heavily, which shows that he is indeed very serious.

"This is impossible!"

Yegorov suddenly raised his voice. In his opinion, a certain immortal was just joking. The border police force had just been formed. Even the basic military training of the group was not over. At this time, go to the battlefield? Isn't this a joke, what is it?

Li Xiaofeng sighed and said, "I know the training work is not over yet, but the situation in Finland is not good, and there is not much time left for us. We must prepare early!"

Yegorov frowned. He was a senior member of the Red Army after all. Although he quit his job as the General Political Department of the Red Army, there were still many old relationships among the Red Army. According to what he learned, the situation in Finland does not seem to be as bad as someone said. Is there any insider information?

"No insider news!"

Li Xiaofeng naturally shook his head and denied that his insider information came from the advantages of the time traveler. He knew that Kuxining was not good enough and would sooner or later be beaten by Mannaheim.

"I don't like Kusining and his Red Guards. He and his troops are not opponents of Mannaheim, especially after the Germans openly support the Finnish Provisional Government, Kusining is likely to suffer a loss!"

Yegorov thought about it. As a professional soldier, he did not believe in subjective judgments, and he was more willing to measure the outcome of the battle through deduction.

He asked, "How many people are there in Mannaheim's troops?"

Li Xiaofeng thought for a while and replied: "Nearly 100,000 people."

"Where is the Red Guards in Kusining?"

"It's about the same number. It may be a little bit higher than Mannahem."

Yegorov glanced at a certain immortal and to be honest, the situation seemed to be 55 in his opinion. Anyway, everyone's troops were all chaotic people gathered together in a hurry. No one dared to say that anyone had higher combat power.

In fact, Li Xiaofeng also knew what Yegorov wanted to say, and he sighed: "I admit that both sides may be similar in terms of military strength, and even Kuxin has a certain advantage. However, Mannaheim is a regular professional and has a battlefield command ability. He is too much ahead of Kuxin. And..."

Speaking of this, Li Xiaofeng paused a little, lowered his voice and said, "You can see from his training of the Red Eagle Corps that Mannahem also has a set in training soldiers, not to mention that he has the help of the Swedish Volunteers and German Military Advisors, and what about Kusining? What does he have?"

Yegorov was stunned. If this was the case, Kusining did not have any advantage. The officers were too important, otherwise the Bolsheviks would not have to apply for the old policy of appointing officers.

Yegorov touched his chin and said slowly: "If you say so, Mannaheim is indeed more advantageous, but this advantage is not decisive. According to my estimate, the scene should be in a stalemate, but why do you think Kusining will lose?"

Li Xiaofeng sighed again and said quietly: "Because there is still the German Expeditionary Force, if the German Expeditionary Force arrives in Finland, the situation will be completely different?"

Yegorov was surprised and asked, "Will the Germans really send expeditionary forces to Finland? Didn't you hear that starting from June, they are going to launch a large-scale offensive on the Western Front? How could they draw troops to other battlefields at this time?"

Li Xiaofeng really wanted to say to Yegorov: "You take it for granted." Historically, after signing the Brest contract, it should be said that the German army could completely avoid fighting on both sides and could completely transfer all the troops on the Eastern Front to the Western Front. But in fact, the Germans were very careful and did not fully believe in the Brest contract. Instead, they still left nearly one million troops on the Eastern Front. They were just to guard against the sudden rebellion of the Bolsheviks. For the Germans, there was no problem at all to draw one or two divisions from the million troops on the Eastern Front to Finland.

Yegorov's face was not very good-looking. He knew very well how much the German regular army of one or two divisions could play in Finland. To be honest, a standard infantry division was enough to defeat Kusining's troops.

He asked gloomy, "That is, if our border police forces were going to fight in Finland, it is very likely that the enemy they really had to face would be the Germans?"

"This possibility is not ruled out."

After obtaining a positive answer from a certain immortal, Yegorov understood why someone wanted to build a border policeman with extremely powerful firepower. It turned out that the root of it was to guard against the Germans. But even though he understood it, Yegorov felt that it might not work.

Why? No matter how good the equipment is, people need to operate it. The firepower of the border police force on paper is strong enough, but these new recruits may not be able to exert their powerful firepower advantages. Compared with the German army that has been familiar with the battle formation for a long time, the gap in this area is too big.

Li Xiaofeng could only comfort the future Soviet marshal, "The Red Eagle Regiment is already stationed in Finland. They will also cooperate with us in fighting the German army. If necessary, I will apply to Comrade Lenin and the Military Commission to use the Finnish garrison. It should be able to tie the German army, right?"

Yegorov thought that this was just better than nothing. Although the Red Eagle Regiment was powerful, it had too few people, and to be honest, this army had not had a lot of combat experience, but had fought a few battles before and after the October Revolution. Fighting a battle was completely different from fighting a battle against the wind!

As for the Finnish garrison, to be honest, Yegorov did not make much hope. He knew that the central government's attitude towards Germany was basically unlikely to cause the Red Army to have a head-on conflict with the German army again!

Seeing that Yegorov's face was not very good, Li Xiaofeng could only comfort and cheer him up, "We still have relative advantages. With the back of the Petrograd Industrial Base, we don't have to worry about supply issues. The Germans fight across the sea, and we have Finland's proletarian support, which is what the people want..."

To be honest, Li Xiaofeng blushed a little because the so-called human heart is nonsense. If this really works, Kuxining would not have lost in history. So he quickly found a better reason: "And our firepower configuration is very strong, as long as..."

Before he finished speaking, Yegorov glanced at his mouth: "Comrade Andre, I must remind you that our equipment advantages only exist on paper. In fact, the troops' clothing replacement speed is slow... Let's put it this way, most of our soldiers have not seen the weapons they will use. Do you think we really have an advantage in this regard?"

Li Xiaofeng stopped talking and said in his heart. He was not satisfied with the speed of changing clothes, but there were not many ways. The production capacity limit of northern industry was there, and the qualified weapons that could be produced each month were limited. Moreover, according to the original plan, the border police forces should have intervened in the Finnish civil war a little later.

But who made the plan unable to keep up with the changes, and who made Kuxining too unsatisfactory?

"It seems that we must meet the Germans."

Li Xiaofeng sighed, and for the sake of the present, he could only maintain the balance between the Finnish Red Army and the White Army as much as possible, so that they could stalemate for a while. The Germans should not join too early to break the balance.

"Mr. Andre, I feel inexplicable about your accusations?" Akimovich said seriously, "Are you representing yourself or your government?"

Akimovich knew that the Bolsheviks turned a blind eye to their interference in Finland's internal affairs, and they were completely focused on resolving domestic problems in Russia. It was precisely because of this reason that they dared to interfere in Finland's internal affairs. Now a fairy came to protest, and the smell here was a bit strange!

Li Xiaofeng said calmly: "It doesn't matter what identity I speak, what matters is whether your country has attracted attention!"

Akimovich's current level of official accent is that he has risen and said without any misunderstanding: "If the name is not right, the words are not right. If you don't make your position, how can your government pay attention to it?"

Li Xiaofeng glanced at him and said coldly: "Then don't pay attention to it, just pretend I didn't say anything... But the ugly thing is to say before, if something unpleasant happened in Finland and that destroys the harmonious diplomatic relations between our two countries, you will be responsible for the consequences!"

"Tsk!"

Akimovich was really afraid of someone's threat of being irritable and uneven. If someone really made trouble in Finland, there was no way to deal with it. Just like someone slapped Turkey in the face before and pulled the Black Sea Fleet out to show off his power. Someone could do this.

"What do you want our government to do?" Akimovich's tone slowed down. "Please make sure that our government is helping and supporting them at the request of the legal government of Finland. According to the agreement reached by your government and the Finnish government, your country has no right to interfere with the will of the Finnish government!"

Li Xiaofeng glanced at him. Whoever can't beat this official accent will also: "The Chinese government is very concerned about the situation in Finland and is very worried about the chaos there... The current situation shows that the actions of the Finnish Provisional Government have seriously threatened the life freedom and security of our expatriates... An increasingly severe humanitarian crisis broke out in Finland, starting from a humanitarian standpoint. Our country must pay attention to the situation in Finland and will never allow the Finnish Provisional Government to continue to harm the people and persecute Russian citizens!"

Akimovich looked at Li Xiaofeng in amazement. It was not difficult to see from his expression that he was shocked by the nonsense of a certain immortal. At this moment, he might complain in his heart - Damn. Is this OK?!

Why not? Speak the opposite, and speak the opposite, isn’t it the usual face of politicians and international gangsters? For example, when the US dismembered Yugoslavia, it was yelling that human rights were higher than sovereignty, to prevent humanitarian crises, and to make Kosovo referendum independent. When Ukraine civil strife and Crimea was about to throw itself into the arms of the bear, the words turned on and became sovereignty inviolable, and shouted that international law was trampled on.

To be honest, I’m really shameless. When Kosovo voted in the referendum, where did international law and sovereignty go? For international hooligans, who is important to human rights and sovereignty depends entirely on their own national interests.

Now Li Xiaofeng is just learning to use it. Didn’t you Germans say that you were invited by the legal government of Finland and legal interference? Who would not wear such hypocritical cloak? I would care about Finland’s affairs, just to safeguard humanitarianism and the interests of Russian expatriates. No way?!

Akimovich naturally couldn't say no, but he still had to emphasize: "I have never heard of these situations you said, I think you were misled..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Xiaofeng interrupted without saying a word: "This is not misleading, nor can anyone mislead me. I can tell you now that I pay close attention to the humanitarian crisis in Finland and do not rule out the possibility of further radical responses!"

Akimovich was sitting on wax. If someone just bit this, he really couldn't do anything about it. Who made someone too awesome? He smiled bitterly: "What do you want to express? Our government has decided to send an expeditionary force to maintain peace at the invitation of the Finnish Provisional Government, which cannot be changed!"

Li Xiaofeng laughed: "Since that's the case, I can also notify you that because of the high concern about the humanitarian crisis that broke out in Finland, the Russian people have spontaneously organized volunteer troops and will go to Finland to prevent the humanitarian crisis from continuing to spread!"

Akimovich tsk, someone's shameless method of playing cards was so uneasy that he was overwhelmed by. Volunteer Army? What kind of shit is this?

"This does not help resolve the chaos in Finland!" Akimovic stressed.

"Then you can solve the chaos in Finland by sending an expeditionary force?" Li Xiaofeng laughed.

Akimovic could only emphasize again: "We are at the invitation of the legal government of Finland..."

Li Xiaofeng sneered: "We are also invited by the Finnish people and Russian expatriates who have suffered inhuman torture and abuse, and to calm the chaos in the spirit of humanitarianism!"

Akimovich was forced to no avail, so he had to ask with a wry smile: "Let's open the skylight and speak loudly. Mr. Andre, what do you have to ask?"

Li Xiaofeng glanced at him and said, "My demand is to ensure the end of the humanitarian crisis in Finland and the legitimate interests of the Russian expatriates. Your country's military actions must not exceed 28 degrees east longitude, otherwise our country will take decisive measures to safeguard the interests of the Finnish people and the Russian expatriates!"

"28 degrees east longitude?"

This request not only surprised Akimovich, but also German ambassador Mirbach also found it strange. However, when he spread out the map and found the area through which the line was crossed, the ambassador understood someone's purpose.

East of 28 degrees east longitude is basically the border between Finland and Russia, which leaves a certain depth to the city of Vyborg. Considering the interests of someone and the Bolsheviks in the city of Vyborg, what this requirement is almost clear at a glance.

"Russia just wants to ensure their interests in Finland and has no intention of intervening in Finland's internal affairs on a large scale!" Mirbach said easily.

"You mean, can we agree?" Akimovich asked cautiously.

Mirbach said calmly: "Can we agree not to do so? But I don't think the Prime Minister will object."

Akimovic asked again: "Why? Isn't it more beneficial for us to take over the entire Finland?"

Mirbach smiled and said, "You don't need to provoke the Russians too much for the time being. If you get angry, they must intervene in Finland's problem regardless of it. Instead, it will be even more troublesome... Hehe, why not stabilize them first."

"But……"

"Nothing," Mirbach waved his hand and smiled, "After agreeing to this condition, we can still take over the entire territory of Finland. Don't forget that the Russians' request is that our expeditionary forces cannot cross 28 degrees east longitude, but they do not stipulate that Mannahem's army cannot cross the line, and we can completely exploit this loophole!"
Chapter completed!
