Chapter 1316 Dialogue

After the British evacuated, Hemmert led his men to inspect Diego Garcia Island, thus gaining a preliminary understanding of the island.

"The island is long and narrow as a whole, and the narrowest place is only a few hundred meters, so if you want to use it to build a military base, it obviously takes more effort."

"Based on the layout of the island, we can judge that the location where the British built the port is the most essential part of the island."

"Although it is not large in scale, it is an excellent shelter, and the available land is relatively scattered."

Although Diego Garcia Island has a land area of ​​more than 20 square kilometers, it is a circular island reef. The land exposed above the water is like a ribbon, so it looks particularly long and narrow. In the past life, the US military air force base built an aircraft runway with the help of this unique terrain.

In the following days, Hemmert led the team to make a preliminary transformation of the island, mainly to remove some traces left by the British military base.

When the British withdrew, they took almost nothing with them, including the food and ammunition in the warehouse, which were neatly stacked in the warehouse. However, the number of these supplies was not large, after all, the number of British troops stationed here was only about 30 people.

East Africa's mobilization of troops to take over Diego Garcia Island this time seemed a bit wasteful, so Hemmert and his party did not stay here for too long. After leaving 30 navy soldiers, Hemmert returned to the mainland with the fleet.

The construction of Diego Garcia Island in the future will naturally be sent by local professionals. First of all, hydrological data of the entire Chagos Archipelago will be collected. There are many islands and reefs here, and some reefs are not easy to be observed on the sea, which may pose a threat to the navigation of ships that are not familiar with the local conditions.

Therefore, although East Africa has taken over the Chagos Archipelago, there is a lot of work to be done. The port obviously needs to be expanded on a large scale, and the warehouses and barracks on the island also need to be expanded.

Unlike the British who do not pay much attention to Diego Garcia Island, East Africa will build it into one of the core military bases in the Indian Ocean.

June 5, 1918.

In Rhine City, Ernst summoned Crown Prince Alexei and his party. After all, they had agreed to Britain's request to take action against Russia, so the East African government obviously had to take some action.

Ernst said to Crown Prince Alexei: "Little Alexei, I have a very regretful news to tell you. After our long-term exploration, we still haven't found any trace of your father and others."

Ernst did not lie to Alexei and others about this. The East African National Defense Security Bureau really tried to find the trace of Nicholas II, but unfortunately, facing the Russian Labor Party, most of the previous methods of the National Defense Security Bureau were ineffective.

In the era of the Tsarist government, the National Defense Security Bureau could still be popular in Russia through bribery, personal networks and other means, but the Russian Labor Party did not pay attention to this.

When it came to the whereabouts of Nicholas II, the number one "criminal", the Russian Labor Party was obviously more rigorous and did not reveal any flaws.

If you think about it, you can know that Nicholas II's appeal is strong. If his position was leaked, he would probably have been rescued by the Russian royalists long ago.

Of course, if the National Security Agency is willing to take risks and spend a lot of energy to find Nicholas II, it is still possible. After all, the Labor Party is not a monolithic entity, especially the most grassroots members of the Labor Party, and many idiots have mixed in. Such speculators are everywhere.

However, if you want to find the trace of Nicholas II through such people, you must take huge risks, obtain a lot of data, mobilize a large number of professionals, and conduct analysis.

But unfortunately, the East African National Security Agency is currently in a "great retreat" in Russia. It is already short of manpower, and it is even more impossible to spend a lot of energy to find Nicholas II.

"Your parents and two sisters, according to what we know, are likely to be detained by the Labor Party somewhere in eastern Russia, which makes it more difficult to find their traces."

"After all, the area covered in eastern Russia is too large and the population is small. If the Russian Labor Party wants to hide a few people in the east, it is really difficult to be found."

Faced with Ernst's words, Crown Prince Alexei and others are obviously more convinced.

Crown Prince Alexei said gratefully: "Thank you, Your Majesty, and your people for your efforts to find my father. If they can find my father and family in the future, I believe they will also thank you for your help."

After this life experience, Alexei has obviously matured a lot.

Ernst asked: "Have anyone from Russia contacted you recently?"

In fact, Alexei and his party are always under surveillance in East Africa. Of course, this kind of surveillance is obviously not easy to be noticed, so Ernst asked this question to avoid suspicion.

Alexei said honestly: "In addition to Uncle Baranov, some Russians who came to East Africa have met us, but most of them are people in the original government."

This is a normal thing. In the case of Nicholas II's disappearance, the Russian nobles must look for Alexei as a leader.

And the news that Alexei is in East Africa is basically well-known. After all, Alexei's visit to East Africa was an open event in Russia.

However, the Russians at that time obviously would not have thought of the sudden change in the domestic situation in Russia, which resulted in Alexei becoming the lifeline of the Russian nobles and old government officials.

Ernst asked: "Do you have any plans to reorganize the Russian government?"

The government mentioned here naturally refers to the government-in-exile, and it is quite common to organize a government-in-exile in Europe.

Regarding this point, Alexey was somewhat moved, not because he was greedy for power, or because he hoped to restore the Russian tsarist regime.

Instead, he wanted to concentrate the available power to rescue his relatives first, and then consider other things.

Therefore, Alexei asked: "Your Majesty, is your government willing to help those of us who are living in East Africa?"

Ernst said: "Of course, we support you in organizing a new Russian government and call on other forces in Russia to counterattack the Russian Labor Party."

"So far since the Russian Labor Party seized power, the Russian revolution has not only not been quelled, but has intensified. According to the information we have obtained, the Russian Labor Party has now almost stabilized Russia's situation in the core of Europe."

"If they are allowed to develop, Russia may really fall into a place of no return. Although the forces in Russia seem to be strong, since your father was imprisoned, they have been like headless flies, causing harm to the Russian Labor Party. Not the slightest threat.”

"So at this time, if you want to avoid being defeated by the Russian Labor Party, someone must stand up and unite the Russians. Only Nicholas II can do this, but he is missing, so he can play his role There is no better choice than you.”

After listening to Ernst's analysis, Alexei felt very heavy. It can be said that the activities of the Russian Labor Party in Russia are like wildfire. The seemingly powerful reactionary force cannot stand the test at all. Otherwise, Russia will It is impossible for the situation to "deteriorate" to such an extent.

After thinking for a moment, Alexei said to Ernst: "Please help us restore order in Russia."

Ernst nodded and said: "This is natural. What Russia lacks most now is leaders, and there are many Russian nobles living in East Africa. We can help you recruit them. You select some credible people to form a new Russia." government."

"At the same time, we must consider which city the government will be temporarily set up in. Regardless of the cities on the east and west coasts of our country, each has its own advantages and disadvantages, which can help you get in touch with the country and direct the people loyal to the tsar in Russia to fight against the Labor Party."
