Although Li Zihao was also in the limelight, he was not the main character. Most of the reporters were here for the princess. Only the Japanese and Chinese reporters paid more attention to Li Zihao.
"General Li, can I ask you a few questions?”It wasn't strange for the reporters from Huaxia to pay attention to Li Zihao. They had also received the news and rushed over.
The news had already spread, but they didn't know if it was true or not. Whether it was the Red or the White Russians, they all kept silent about the princess's news. They wanted to see if it was true or not. Once the news was confirmed, the situation in Pingsk would probably boil.
A real Russian princess would be a fatal blow to the Russian regime. This meant that foreign interference forces and the White Russian forces had a point of agreement.
It was still the most difficult time for Russia. Although they occupied most of the elite areas, the Russian regime was also surrounded by the White Russia and foreign intervention forces.
For several White Russian governments, if there was an orthodox heir to the Tsar, then they would not compete with each other. These old Russian forces had a common goal of loyalty and would naturally be more united than before.
Princess Tasia's appearance was no longer a secret. The Eastern European reporters began to ask a lot of questions, including the most shocking news of the Tsar's family being silenced. Tasia also told the reporters the inside story.
It was precisely because of the execution of the Tsar's family that Russia was regarded as a scourge internationally. Coupled with the natural class opposition, it was understandable that the governments of various countries ganged up on Russia.
Now that the war was over, they naturally had time to deal with the new Russian regime.
Princess Tasia was the real deal. Since she had passed the test, the reporters knew that the princess had gone through a near-death experience to meet Li Zihao and finally appear here.
At night, the reporters did not leave and continued to stay behind to entertain them.
Many rich people in the city were also invited. Li Zihao's subordinates also changed into formal clothes and danced with those Eastern European girls.
Li Zihao was sitting on the sofa with Princess beside him. Actually, Princess wanted to dance, but Li Zihao didn't invite her.
As for why no one invited the princess, it was because no one dared to go.
A few people had wanted to invite the princess, but they were quickly forced back by a group of military officers with murderous gazes.
What kind of joke is this? Our Commander Li's girl is not someone you Eastern European guys can covet?
"Princess, the news has been released, but I don't know what will be summoned next. Will it be an angel or a demon?”
Li Zihao didn't like White Russia, but he disliked Russia even more because he was also a member of the landlord class in China.
"General, don't worry. Marshal Gorchak will definitely contact us.”
Li Zihao shook the braid of his epaulet. He did not have many men now, and he could not fight against the Russian army. Therefore, he had to cooperate with the White Russians. Tasia was also afraid of being a puppet, so she did not hesitate to win Li Zihao over.
"Princess, don't worry. No matter what, I will always support you.”
"General." The princess held Li Zihao's hand tightly. They looked at each other affectionately. If it wasn't in public, they would have rolled off the bed already.
Even though they couldn't speak the language, Li Zihao's subordinates were still dancing with the foreign horses in their arms. Especially at this special moment, Li Zihao's army was like a guardian angel for the capitalists of Pingsk!
The appearance of the princess was equivalent to setting off a huge wave in the entire Polar Bear. Even Li Zihao's name appeared in front of many people.
Because the princess had admitted her relationship with Li Zihao, many Russian men were very unhappy. Their country actually had a foreign man.
The Red Seventh Division suffered a defeat and was almost completely annihilated. With the appearance of the princess, Ulyanov, as the supreme leader of the Soviet Union, immediately ordered Frunze to be the commander of the 4th Army of the Soviet Red Army. He immediately annihilated Li Zihao's troops and the White Russian army near Pinsk.
Although it was known as a group army, the current Soviets had never been full. Most of them were newly recruited soldiers. In order to fulfill their promises, a large number of old Russian armies were disbanded. These old armies with combat effectiveness had not been mobilized yet.
This was also the reason why the Russian army was fighting so hard.
Frunze's 4th Army only had 70,000 to 80,000 men. Although he had the advantage in terms of numbers, he was a famous Russian general. He valued Li Zihao's Northern Expedition Army and had already sent a large number of people to investigate Pingsk.
Unlike the Russian army, Li Zihao's Beiyang Army was not accessible to ordinary intelligence personnel. Only Chinese people could get in, but it was useless because they were all low-level soldiers. All the officers were loyal to Li Zihao.
It was impossible to outsmart him. Although Pinsk was not as important as Volgograde, it was still a traffic hub. The northeast and the south were occupied by the Russians, and the west was the Soviet war zone. Because of Li Zihao's existence, it could threaten the safety of the neighboring Mihail Region, which was the grain-producing area of the Soviet area. Now, the Soviet area was very short of living materials, and food was the most important.
More importantly, when Li Zihao blocked the Volga River, the Soviets lost the convenient transportation conditions of the waterway. Compared to railway transportation, the cost of river transportation was not only lower, but it could also carry more logistics.
In order to show his presence, Li Zihao also made a statement. That was to say that he had received the permission of Princess Tasia to form a Chinese expeditionary force to protect Russia. Officially, it would stop the protests that the Soviet Union would launch against the Northern Warlords. Now that there was so much foreign interference, those Northern Warlords would definitely support Li Zihao in order to curry favor and fight for the rights to end the war.
Buying firearms was not a long-term solution, but Li Zihao had no other way. Even so, he began to prepare to control a White Russian army. This was not China, and it was difficult for him to replenish the soldiers of China other than relying on the system. However, it was different for the White Russians. They could replenish the soldiers on the spot. Judging from the current situation, with the banner of the princess, as long as he could afford it, it would not be a problem for him to raise an army of tens of thousands. Unfortunately, he did not have the money.
The system had provided him with ten thousand soldiers. Otherwise, it would have been difficult to maintain an elite division with such a high cost just by relying on Pingsk and robbing.
This division had cavalry and artillery, so it would be strange if the expenses were not high.
Princess, I'm so short of money!" When Li Zihao pressed down on the princess, men would often feel empty after it was over.
Tasia gently stroked Li Zihao's back. She knew that money was important. The Russian royal family had hundreds of years of history, so they definitely had savings. Nicholas II told her a shocking secret in order to continue and restore the dynasty.
Before this, the Tsar had given several hundred tons of gold to Gorchak to buy arms, but this did not mean that the Russian royal family had no money. Because the Tsar's family had been silenced, she was the only one who knew this secret.
She also knew that this money was her biggest capital. She was considering whether she should use this money as a dowry to recruit soldiers for Li Zihao. Li Zihao's identity was special. He was not from this ethnic group. It was difficult for him to be recognized by this fierce fighting ethnic group in politics.
On the other hand, she also attached great importance to this man because Li Zihao had saved her and taken away her body and mind.
