    The Germans have a hard time, but the one in Europe that has the worst life is Russia.  Although on the surface, Russia and the United States are similar in that they both have huge territories, and in some ways they may even be better, because most of Russia's territory has not been developed at all.  But the problem is that those lands in Russia are all alpine wastelands, which are completely different from the western United States.  In the United States, as long as the central government approves and the states do not object, people who have no food can just find a piece of wasteland and plant it, and there is a good chance of supporting themselves.  But those wastelands in Russia are a different matter. It is impossible for poor people who have no food to grow enough food to feed themselves in that vast wasteland.  Because the environment in that vast wasteland is too harsh.  Although in terms of latitude, the latitude of Siberia is not higher than that of Alaska, the difference in natural environment is very large.  Although Alaska is desolate and cold, the temperature in winter is only between 30 and 40 degrees below zero.  But {}{}novel {][} things are different in the vast Siberia. It is the cold center of the northern hemisphere. In winter, the temperature here is even far lower than the North Pole.  In human records, the second lowest measured temperature ever occurred in the forests of Siberia, and this temperature was as low as more than 60 degrees below zero.  Temperature is only one aspect. Another big issue is transportation.  Alaska has several large and small ports, including ice-free ports like Anchorage. Even the most inland areas are only a few hundred kilometers away from these ports, so it is relatively easy to lay railways.  As for Siberia, there are thousands of kilometers of uninhabited forests.  All transportation requires land, and land is naturally the most difficult mode of transportation.  Therefore, let alone the early 20th century, even in the 21st century, Siberia is still almost a primitive wilderness comparable to Antarctica.  With Siberia standing in the way, and being defeated by the emerging Japan further in the Far East, the path of expanding to the warm lands of the Far East to alleviate the crisis is no longer feasible.  Although it stands to reason that Russia's industry accounts for a smaller proportion of its economy than Germany's, it stands to reason that they should be hit less hard by the crisis.  However, also because industry is underdeveloped and there are more remnants of the feudal system, Russia's ability to organize society and resist natural and social disasters is far inferior to Germany. In Germany, the German government still has the power to suppress strikes in various places.  Riots, riots, etc. are still capable of dividing those Social Democrats.  But the Russian government does not have such ability, so the throne under the Tsar's butt is more unstable than the one under the Kaiser's butt.  At this time, for Russia, the only way to solve the problem is to attack Turkey.  ¡­ ¡°Khalid, Ilhan, and the rest of you, get your guys and come with me.¡± Ilredi Hassan shouted to several Turkish soldiers.  Iredi claimed that he had received news that something seemed amiss in an Armenian village, and that those Armenians might be doing smuggling business.  According to Turkey's local police chief Ilredi, this is definitely good news.  Of course, checking for smuggling means confiscating the smuggled items, and any police station will intercept a part of the confiscated items in addition to turning them over.  And this part will of course be divided privately.  Therefore, Director Iredi has always been the most enthusiastic about this kind of work, much more enthusiastic than catching thieves.  It¡¯s not just Chief Ilreddy who is like this, but all the police officers in the entire department are like this.  Especially going to the villages where pagans live to check for smuggling is definitely a good dealah, it should be said that it is a good opportunity to serve the motherland.  As a country that has actually been reduced to a semi-colony, there was a Manchu Empire spanning Asia, Europe and Africa. Of course, it was also a dumping market for the products of European countries to a large extent. Therefore, who doesn¡¯t have some foreign goods at home?  Not to mention, at least, there are definitely British cotton cloth and American kerosene for lighting lamps.  Therefore, when the Turkish police go out to catch smuggling, they are almost sure to catch them, because as long as they search these things from the homes of those infidels, they can directly use these things as evidence of participation in smuggling, and then further use the other properties of these infidels as evidence.  The "illegal gains" were confiscated, and then the infidels were arrested as smugglers and then waited for their families to collect money to take them back.  Therefore, catching smugglers is indeed a good activity that can particularly arouse the interest of the police, especially stimulate their morale, and especially can stimulate their patriotic enthusiasm.  A dozen policemen quickly grabbed their weapons, and then, under the personal leadership of Chief Iredi, they headed overnight toward the Armenian village where smuggling crimes were said to have occurred.  Generally speaking, as the director, Ilredi does not need to personally lead the team on all matters, but important matters such as catching smuggling are exceptions, because Ilredi is worried that ifIf he doesn't keep an eye on it personally, the policemen under him will be careless and irresponsible, so that the stolen goods found will be greatly reduced. Of course, the amount distributed to him will naturally be reduced.  Therefore, for such an important matter, he must take the lead and lead the team himself.  In order to prevent the Armenians from transferring stolen goods in advance, Iredi would always lead people to attack Armenian villages at dawn. This is because the Armenians are very cunning. If they go during the day, the Armenians will find them from a long way away.  And then they, these despicable, cowardly, cowardly pagans, would go and hide in the mountains so that he couldn't catch anyone.  Therefore, it is best to wait until dawn for this kind of thing.  It was still late at night when Iredi and a dozen policemen arrived near the Armenian village called Little Mining Village on horseback.  Iredi did not immediately lead people to rush into the village, because it was night, and if those Armenians were running around, they would not be able to catch those Armenians in the dark night.  So Ilredi and the others stopped to rest in a small forest outside the village while waiting for dawn. ?¡­ ?When it was dawn, Iredi took a nap and was then woken up by his police officers.  "Chief, it's daybreak!" "Ah, it's daylight at last?" Iredi looked at the eager eyes of the policemen, from which he also felt the policemen's loyalty to their cause and their tenacity when facing the infidels.  Brave spirit.  "Okay, let's go!" Iredi ordered, then got on his horse and rushed toward the village with more than a dozen policemen on horseback.  At this time, it was just dawn, and the people in the village had just gotten up. There was no time to react, and Ilredi rushed in with his people.  Ilredi knew a little bit about the situation in the village beforehand, as far as the location of the richest family in the village, so he led his people directly to that family.  Khalid, the policeman under his command, kicked open the door of the house. When Ilredi looked inside, he realized that he had really come to the right place, because there were actually several horses tied up in the yard.  There really is a caravan staying here.  "Allahu Akbar!" Iredi shouted, "Arrest all the people inside! Confiscate all the smuggled items!" His police officers also shouted: "Allahu Akbar!" and swarmed in.  .  Ilhan took the lead and rushed into the yard, rushed to the door of the family's room, kicked open the door, and was about to go in to catch the smuggler, but he only heard a few bangs and bangs, and at the same time he felt that he  His chest felt as if he had been hit hard and continuously by a big hammer. There was a dull pain, his vision went dark, and he immediately knew nothing.  The other Turkish policemen who were shouting "Allahu Akbar" cheerfully next to them were stunned for a moment. After all, they were just policemen in a small area. They had never seen a gangster who actually shot and resisted arrest, so there was no reaction at the first moment.  come over.  However, they didn't react immediately. At this time, it meant that they would never react, because a window in the room facing the courtyard was suddenly pushed open, and a black hole protruded from it.  The muzzle of the gun, and then a series of gunshots.  Several police officers who had not yet reacted were immediately knocked to the ground.  Then from another window, a string of bullets was also shot out.  Seeing that the situation was not good, Khalid turned around and ran towards the courtyard gate. He was already very close to the courtyard gate, but now he rushed out of the courtyard gate in a single step, and then hid behind the courtyard wall in a flash.  "Ah, I scared the baby to death." Khalid gasped and was about to get on his horse and flee the village immediately, but suddenly he felt a sharp pain on his vest, and then all the strength in his body disappeared. He opened his mouth and thought  He wanted to scream, but he couldn't. Only blood kept pouring out of his mouth. He tried his best to stand against the courtyard wall, but he had no strength at all. He could only slide along the courtyard wall and fall to the ground. A machine gun bullet  It penetrated the thin courtyard wall and hit him just in time.  In the first blast from the light machine gun, Ilredi was hit in both legs and fell to the ground like a log.  Then he watched the dozen or so police officers he brought being knocked to the ground one after another. Until this moment, he didn't even think about what was going on. Wasn't it just for extortion? How could this happen?  , as for this?  And how could those pagans have such strong firepower?  By this time, the infidels who had fired had all come out of the room. They all had machine guns, submachine guns, rifles, and pistols in their hands, six or seven in total.  "Are they all dead?" one of the men carrying a light machine gun asked.  "Saruman, there is still one person who is not dead. Do you want to send him to meet their Allah?" A guy with a rifle walked up to Iredi and fired a black hole with the rifle.He pointed his mouth at Ilredi's chest and asked.  "Gandalf, don't be too busy. Let's ask what's going on." The man named Saruman replied.  This is a group of guys who engage in arms smuggling. With the support of the Free World Foundation, there are many such smuggling teams now smuggling arms to Armenians.  When the police rushed in at first, they thought they had been exposed, and were even worried that they were surrounded by Turkish military police. Who knew that when they started fighting, it would turn out like this And then Illey  After Di told the whole story with fear at Gandalf's gun, they realized that all of this was a coincidence. In fact, Ilredi had no idea that there was an arms dealer here.  smuggling team.  If he knew, he wouldn't have been able to rush in so stupidly.  "It seems to be a coincidence." Saruman thought, but heard Gandalf ask again: "Saruman, what should I do with this guy?" "This guy is useless." Saruman did not hesitate.  He said, "Kill him, and then we will move immediately." He saw Gandalf pulling the bolt of the gun, so he frowned and said, "Don't waste bullets." "Okay, no problem." Gandalf responded loudly,  At the same time, he quickly ejected the bullet, then turned the rifle in his hand upside down, with the butt facing forward. He raised the rifle in his hand high, like a big stick, and then pointed it fiercely at Yi  Erredi's head was smashed
