Romanian Eagle

When the chickens were flying around in Romania because of the flu, Christo and his party finally arrived at the next point, Tsaritsyn, by boat.

However, instead of docking at Tsaritsyn, they docked next to a riverside town called Yoras upstream.

The boat ride for several days in a row made the whole group a little tired physically and mentally. This is not because everyone is tired from the boat ride, but it is not peaceful along the way. During the few days of sailing, they encountered several waves of small groups of armed forces, including the Soviet-Russian Red Army, the White Army, and other armed forces.

For this reason, they also exchanged fire with two of them across the river, but because they have ships and strong firepower, these armed forces have nothing to do with it.

After some small twists and turns, they finally arrived at their first destination. Christo took everyone to the shore, and the reception staff here had prepared food and shelter for them.

Christo took a sip of the steaming mushroom soup and sighed, "I never thought the mushroom stewed fish soup tasted so good."

Johnny, who was standing aside to meet their chief executive, disguised as a local businessman codenamed Elk, said, "The main reason is that the deputy director hasn't had a good meal for many days, so whatever you eat is delicious."

Faced with Johnny, who was well-dressed and wore a wig more like a poet than a businessman, Christo said with a smile, "Your flattery is getting worse, so it's just right to pretend to be a businessman."

In the face of Christo's teasing, Johnny answered without shame: "Isn't that the boss you know and make good use of?"

After Christo took another sip of fish soup to warm his stomach, he asked the questions he cared about. Although he had already learned about it through the telegram, it was better to ask in person for more specific information.

"How is the situation here now?"

In the face of the deputy director's inquiry, Johnny also answered seriously: "At present, Tsarizin has fallen into the hands of a temporary government army led by Denikin. According to the information, he has obtained a lot of weapons and equipment, relying on the convenience here. The traffic of the army is calling for the training of the army, and it seems that it wants to cooperate with the main force of the provisional government army in Gozark."

Christo certainly knew the man who had served as Kornilov's chief of staff and was currently succeeding him as commander of the Don and Caucasus interim government forces. And he also knew where the weapons and ammunition came from, and Romania also contributed a lot.

However, this time, the gold delivery had to be concealed from the General Denikin. He didn't want to sacrifice the Russian general with strong patriotic sentiments for nothing.

"So are there any other armed forces around here?"

"some,

About thirty kilometers north of us there was a small force, led by about six hundred men, a former Russian major named Rodsky. Forty kilometers to the southwest, there was another force, organized by a local Cossack leader named Fisk. There were more than 400 of them. In addition, on the Don River, 25 kilometers north of the next contact point, Virikes, there is also a Cossack army, led by about 500 people, a former cavalry officer named Sallef. As for the dozen or so people who can't pose a threat to the team, I won't say anything. "

Christo knew what Johnny meant. These dozen or so people were basically wandering soldiers or robbers. These people basically did not pose a threat to transportation, and it was difficult to count them. Maybe if you investigate today, he will go to another place tomorrow.

"Looks like this is our most dangerous journey."

Christo said to himself in his mouth, and then he asked: "So how many vehicles and people can you use now?"

"I have prepared eight trucks here, five of which are heavy trucks with a load of five tons, and there are thirty-four people on hand after deducting the drivers."

Having said this, Johnny complained: "I originally prepared thirteen cars, but a lot of them were robbed by the armed gangs entrenched nearby. In order to prevent accidents, I didn't dare to make extra efforts."

"You did the right thing."

After praising him, Christo pointed to the boat parked by the river and said: "We brought seven vehicles from Kazan, but they were all old-fashioned one-ton trucks."

Speaking of which, Christo couldn't help complaining: "Don't these Russians know the benefits of five-ton trucks at all? We dare not use a large number of five-ton trucks in order to ensure safety."

When Christo complained, he wronged the previous Russian government, and they bought a lot of five-ton trucks. However, due to the damage of the war and the vast territory, the five-ton truck became a rare vehicle everywhere. In fact, even one ton of old-fashioned Dongfeng trucks are currently mostly recruited into the armies of both sides.

Hearing his boss's complaints, as a subordinate, of course he needs to come up with a solution, and Johnny is of course a qualified subordinate. "Boss, I'm afraid there won't be enough vehicles, so I've prepared hundreds of horses and another twenty carriages."

In the face of Johnny's words, Christo said directly: "There is no need to consider the carriage. This thing can't keep up with the speed of the truck. Instead, it will make the transportation target larger and take greater risks in terms of safety."

Christo thought about it and turned to call his entourage: "Let Captain Vasily come over."

"Okay, boss."

After a few minutes, the sturdy Vasily appeared in front of him: "Boss, what's the matter."

Looking at the burly man in front of him, Christo asked directly, "Your man, is there any problem with riding a horse?"

Vasily, who thought it was a big event, replied directly: "There is no problem at all, my people can ride horses."

"Well, arrange for your people to rest today. Tomorrow, you will be responsible for escorting the goods to a small town called Virikes by the Don River. I will send Shirka and your entourage to meet the receptionists over there, and Johnny will send someone as a guide, and he'll scout the neighborhood for you."

Christo's words made Vasili give a small smile to Johnny standing beside him, which was also responded by the disguised businessman.

Then he looked at the map spread out in front of him, and Johnny was responsible for repeating the situation around him.

After listening to the explanation, Vasily's forehead wrinkled, and he said: "The armed forces on this road are not weak, and we need to be fully armed to protect them."

Christo knew the Vasiliian definition of being fully armed. As the person in charge of the entire action plan, he also attaches great importance to escorting the escorts. The situation in Russia is deteriorating by the fact that there are three armed gangs entrenched on the road from Eulas to Fisk in just over 100 kilometers.

The equipment of Vasily and others is also very sophisticated. Installed with quadruple telescopic sights, there are more than a dozen Mosingganer rifles specially designed to facilitate their actions. In addition, in order to allow them to suppress firepower, they were equipped with 13 machine guns, three of which were Maxim heavy machine guns, and the rest were Madsen light machine guns used by one person.

In addition, the company's newly developed 81mm caliber portable mortar is also equipped with two. This kind of mortar, which weighs only 61 kilograms, is very suitable for the operations of a capable force like them behind enemy lines. They only need two people or a horse to run around with them.

So facing the armed forces of hundreds of people, Vasily felt that it was best to be fully equipped for the sake of safety.

"Okay, then, let's go get ready and leave tomorrow."

After seeing Christo agree to his request, Vasili gave him a military salute and left.

Looking at Vasili who left, Christo turned his head and said to Johnny. "Now let's talk about the nearby terrain and traffic conditions. Is there anything I need to pay attention to?"

"Okay boss,..."
