Chapter 1299: Kazan Treasury Robbery

This is naturally not the conscience of the Russian Provisional Government. After all, the Russian aristocrats and capitalists themselves are one family, and the division is not very clear. The more places you go, the more so. Not only will they not kill them all, but they will buy them off in order to stabilize the situation.

Therefore, many local forces in Russia, such as Kazan, currently choose to wait and see about the Labor Party regime. Moreover, there are rumors circulating in St. Petersburg, and it is difficult to tell whether the news is true or false. It is difficult for even the top Russians to know the true situation in Russia today.

And Berezovka, the bandit leader, could actually know the situation thousands of miles away and within Russia. This seemed to Chubalov to be a bit of a magical power.

Of course, Chubalov didn't feel strange when he thought that Berezovka could obtain the army's weapons from regular channels.

Instead, he said excitedly: "What the general means is that the domestic situation is in chaos now. No matter what we do, the central government has no energy to deal with us!"

Berezovka nodded and said: "Not only that, the current situation can be said that whoever has the gun in his hand can gain the right to rule a large area. As long as we can capture Kazan, you will be appointed as a high-ranking official in the future." It’s not impossible to do it.”

"Has the situation... deteriorated to this extent?" Chubalov asked with some uncertainty.

Berezovka said with certainty: "This is natural. The chaos in St. Petersburg today is different from the past. They are a team organized by workers and soldiers in St. Petersburg. The entire Russian government has regarded them as mortal enemies."

"After we capture Kazan City, as long as we win over the powerful people in the city, we may be able to dominate in the future."

Berezovka tried his best to deceive his subordinates. As for the Russian Labor Party in St. Petersburg, it was obviously not as weak as he said.

After all, if they dare to seize power in St. Petersburg, they are naturally well prepared, especially in the face of the encirclement and suppression by domestic reactionary forces.

The strength of the Labor Party is reflected in its grassroots organizations. Through these grassroots organizations, their influence cannot be limited to St. Petersburg.

In the military, they have been very successful in infiltrating local areas. They only need to raise their arms and many areas with St. Petersburg as the core can immediately change their flags, especially cities where the Labor Party is active.

In fact, there must be Labor Party organizations in large Russian cities like Kazan, but they have not had time to mobilize workers and soldiers. After all, it is far away from the core of Russia, and even changes will take time to spread.

Berezovka planned to use this time gap to seize control of Kazan.

Berezovka did not care about the thoughts of his subordinates. He ordered Chubalov: "Pass my order and march to Kazan."

Most members of Berezovka's army are composed of local bandits, and all of them are cavalry. This is also a characteristic of most "horse bandits" in Russia.

More than 10,000 cavalry marched toward Kazan in a mighty manner, leaving large horseshoe marks on the snow. The snow was turned into a pool of black water by the horses' hooves and soil.

Under this situation, the garrison in Kazan did not know the coming disaster. After all, under the ice and snow, who would have thought that such a large group of "bandits" would gather outside the city of Kazan.

Even though the march was difficult due to snow, the Berezovka gang arrived in Kazan before noon.

At this time, the defense of Kazan City was extremely weak, and because they could not imagine that bandits would dare to attack Kazan City, they even thought that the army led by Berezovka was Siberian reinforcements from the east to support the front line.

This is not without precedent. When the battlefield on the Eastern Front was at its fiercest, the tsarist government often mobilized troops from the east. Even Siberia was no exception, and Kazan was originally a transportation hub city.

Therefore, there are many Russian troops supporting the front line circulating here in Kazan. Coupled with the typical Cossack army attire of Berezovka and his party, it is even more difficult to distinguish the authenticity from the fake.

By the time the defense forces reacted, it was already too late. After a short and rapid battle, the Berezovka gang easily took control of the east side of Kazan City.

However, Kazan is a big city after all, and there are still thousands of troops stationed in the city. In addition, they occupy advantageous terrain, so it is not easy for Berezovka and his party to capture Kazan.

…

In Kazan City.

"The fight is about to begin. It's probably the Pelicans who have taken action. How are you prepared for the Nightingales?" said an ordinary-looking middle-aged man from a stronghold in Kazan City.

"Pelican" is the code name, which is Berezovka. Obviously Berezovka is also a fake name, and his true identity is actually an agent of the Defense Security Service.

The man known as Nightingale said: "Everything is ready, sir."

"According to our intelligence, since the war began, a lot of Russian precious metals, currencies, etc. have flowed into Kazan through various channels."

"According to inside information, this huge amount of funds may be used for transactions between Russia, Japan, and the United States. We do not know the specific value, but the security measures of the Kazan treasury are extremely tight."

"There are roughly a thousand people guarding the treasury, but except for a group of 300 Russian security personnel with live ammunition, most of them are not afraid."

Following Nightingale's words, I finally learned the plans of the East African Defense and Security Agency in Kazan. This operation can be said to be audacious.

That is to rob the Russian treasury in Kazan, and the so-called "Kazan Army" led by Berezovka is naturally a gang supported by the East African National Defense Security Agency.

Attacking and seizing Kazan is fake, looting the Russian treasury in Kazan is real, and as for why the National Defense Security Agency knows that there is a Russian treasury here.

This is also easy to explain. After all, the East African National Defense Security Agency is currently the largest, most staffed, and most professional intelligence agency in the world.

There are tens of thousands of East African National Defense Security Agency personnel in Russia alone, which shows the severity of East Africa's infiltration into Russia in recent years.

Faced with such a large intelligence agency infiltrating into the country, the Russian side was completely unaware, after all, the war attracted their attention.

Therefore, the actions of the East African National Defense Security Agency in Russia in recent years can be said to be very smooth. Except for the Labor Party, most Russian government organizations, agencies, and important enterprises have personnel from the East African National Defense Security Agency.

This enables the National Defense Security Agency to obtain a lot of useful information, including the flow of funds within many Russian companies or the government. The Kazan treasury was touched by the East African National Defense Security Agency in this way. Since the Tsarist era, the National Defense Security Agency has noticed the abnormality of Kazan, and a large amount of foreign currency and precious metals have flowed into Kazan.

However, the National Defense Security Agency chose to stay put before, but has been accumulating relevant intelligence, just to wait for this day, when Russia has completely collapsed and the world is in chaos.

Of course, the East African National Defense Security Agency is naturally aware of the strength of the Russian government's armed forces in Kazan, so they support the "Kazan Army" and use war to cover up.

Now that the Berezovka army has fought with the Kazan defenders, the attention of the whole city has been attracted, and ordinary people have hidden in their homes and dare not go out.

This provides conditions for the East African National Defense Security Agency personnel in Kazan.

Therefore, Gold, the highest commander of the Kazan National Defense Security Bureau, ordered: "According to our previous deployment, storm the Kazan treasury!"

Afterwards, more than 2,000 elite members of the National Defense Security Bureau in Kazan, as well as some deceived Russian gangsters, totaling about 4,000 people, rushed to the Kazan treasury with great momentum.

They drove trucks directly, carrying weapons and explosive devices, and swaggered towards the treasury. The National Defense Security Bureau had already figured out the specific information of the Kazan treasury, with only some differences in details at most.

But these details are no longer important. After all, the National Defense Security Bureau planned to storm from the beginning, rather than to achieve its goals by bribing internal personnel, which was actually impossible.

In this way, at the end of 1917, while the city of Kazan was attacked by the Berezovka gang, a robbery comparable to a large-scale military conflict also occurred in Kazan.

The Russian treasury in Kazan was forcibly blown up. According to reports, about 100 tons of gold and other valuables disappeared.

Most people in later generations believed that the Berezovka gang that captured Kazan stole the treasure, but no one knew where the Berezovka gang hid the gold.
