#563 - Agreement with the Tsar

It is said that although this generation's Tsar was a monarch of a fallen country, according to the normal course of historical development, Russia would no longer be an empire for many years after him.

He was tough externally and even tougher internally, basically not caring about the deaths of his own people and soldiers, constantly imposing heavy taxes and levies...

It can be said that he possessed almost every quality that a monarch of a fallen country should have.

But this does not mean that he was a fool.

At least when Liang Yue met with him and made it clear that he wanted to rescue him from his predicament, this Tsar remained very calm and did not lose the wisdom of a king.

Even when Liang Yue initially said he wanted to take his family away from Yekaterinburg, he subconsciously chose to refuse.

Even after taking him away, his attitude remained stiff. From beginning to end, the Tsar's distrust of him was palpable, yet he did not bother to hide it...

If Liang Yue hadn't had some ability and eloquence, using the current situation and the deduction of the future development of the Russian domestic situation to point out the advantages and disadvantages,

and using the lives and survival of his family as a bet,

this Tsar would probably rather believe that his own people and the next ruling regime would treat him kindly, even supporting him to regain the throne and establish a constitutional monarchy in Russia, than listen to Liang Yue's nagging.

However, this is also reasonable.

After all, Liang Yue is a foreigner, and a Chinese one who has suffered the most from their country's invasion and persecution~

However, in the end, Liang Yue's skills were superior.

Even knowing that Liang Yue's side harbored ulterior motives, aiming to obtain Outer Northeast and even more land in northern Asia, he still couldn't resist the temptation of safely escaping his predicament.

Furthermore, to ensure the safety of his family, Liang Yue successfully signed a symbolic land transfer agreement with him.

The agreement stipulated that from this day forward, all territories seized and obtained by the Tsarist Russian Empire from the Chinese regime in the past three hundred years would be returned, and all areas east of the Ob River would be permanently withdrawn from.

After that, both parties did not forget to solemnly sign the agreement and affix their royal seals, symbolizing the Tsar's authority...

At first glance, this agreement is naturally somewhat childish, so fake that it is suffocating, even if used to coax children.

After all, in this era, territory has never been obtained through negotiations, but through battles on the battlefield.

Given the ruling crisis currently facing the Tsar and the chaotic situation within Russia, they are already unable to attend to the east. At least until they completely eliminate the red regime and regain their own country, he can't care about the interests of the Far East.

The signing of this agreement is completely like taking off one's pants to fart, defining a boundary for himself and Liang Yue that has no binding force whatsoever.

Perhaps in necessary situations, it can be taken out as a fig leaf to cover shame and make excuses.

But when the time is right, both parties have the ability to tear up this agreement at any time.

Even one of the Tsar's daughters expressed incomprehension at the time and asked him on the spot why he would sign such an agreement with no binding clauses.

Liang Yue's reply was that he simply wanted to find a reasonable and legal excuse for his next actions on a whim.

Furthermore, from then on, whatever the Chinese do in the Far East and Siberia will be internationally recognized, even if this recognition only remains on the surface.

Until the substantive ownership of that land falls into the hands of another invader again.

But no matter what, Liang Yue has now obtained the proper title.

This marks that the past treaties between China and Tsarist Russia that resulted in the loss of land have legally lost their effect.

What remains is the question of how future generations will defend this land!

......

"Di di di ~ Di di di ~"

In the afternoon, just as Liang Yue and others were making a final check of the reality within the small town in front of them, and then driving a group of fishermen who had just returned from fishing at sea into the train station,

just as they were preparing to rush to the next annihilation target, a familiar communication connection sound came again.

This time, without the need for the intelligent brain Xiao Wu to remind him, Liang Yue connected to the video connection with a thought.

In the next moment, a light screen suddenly popped up, appearing in front of him. The person on the other side of the video was still Yuan Datou...

"What's the matter?"

Looking at the figure of the person opposite, Liang Yue was a little surprised.

To contact him twice in one day like this, it was obvious that something had happened in the country again. Otherwise, with Yuan Shikai's ability, he wouldn't need to report everything to him.

"Just now, the Russian Tsar has officially telegraphed the world, stating that their territory in the Far East will be temporarily managed by our China.

Mixed with solemnity and anticipation, there was also a trace of inexplicable fear?

That was an emotional color of the current situation having completely escaped his control, unable to foresee the consequences.

It was as if, at this time, a delicious cake, large enough in size, was placed in front of him. Once he ate it, he would inevitably pay many unknown costs.

Temptation and crisis coexist~

It can only be said that he still doesn't know how far Liang Yue can go, wanting to open his mouth wide and bite down, but also worried that he doesn't have enough strength and chips to cope with the coming price.

"Oh? Is that what he said? But the agreement I signed with him before is like this..."

After listening to Yuan Datou's words, Liang Yue smiled slightly, and then took out the agreement he had signed with the Tsar before, explaining the contents of the agreement to him.

"...Strictly speaking, the content of the Russian Tsar's telegram is not very different from this agreement. How to get rid of the identity of being the other party's nanny,

and maximize the realization of the content of this agreement is the direction we should be working towards now."

"Simple, prepare for war, keep the enemy forever outside the territory stipulated in the agreement, and when necessary, take the initiative to attack and eliminate the threat directly in the bud."

"Um...but with our country's strength, it is temporarily not allowed~"

While considering, a person suddenly broke into the video call on the other side.

Wearing a military uniform, looking not very old, after appearing, he first saluted Yuan Datou, and then handed over a piece of paper.

Yuan Shikai took the paper at this time, looked at it for a few moments, and then said to Liang Yue with a solemn face.

"Several other rebel forces within Russia have now also issued a joint telegram to the world, the content of which is~ refusing to recognize the Tsar's decision and not giving up every inch of land, including Vladivostok.

At the same time, they also require the Russian officers and soldiers on the border to be on high alert, do their job properly, not to leave their posts without authorization, and immediately enter a state of combat readiness to eliminate every invader.

In addition, they also said that they will send a large army within a week to retake control of the Far East."

"Hmm~ that's more like it. It seems we have to prove our strength to the world first, and teach these armed elements a lesson for the Tsar, so that they can sit down and listen to us talk in peace."
