Chapter 1755: A New Intelligence Agency

At this time, within the borders of Poland.

Naleishi has led the new Tsarist Russia army and arrived at the front line.

Boerniefu greeted him personally; to him, Naleishi was his mentor and his superior.

A large part of the reason he holds his current position is due to Naleishi.

"Oh, my dear Lord Naleishi, you have finally arrived."

Boerniefu and Naleishi embraced warmly, yet the expression on Boerniefu's face when Naleishi looked at him was not very good.

To Naleishi, although Boerniefu had won a few battles and gained a large swath of Polish land, he had lost to the Longyan.

And he had been utterly defeated.

Now, the Longyan have gained a significant advantage in Poland.

Currently, the entire Tsarist Russia force, in the war against the Longyan army, has morale so low it is beyond saving, and he needs to come and save the situation himself.

Just considering these matters, Naleishi is already deeply disappointed in Boerniefu.

Naleishi looked at Boerniefu with a dark face and reproached him: "You, you have disappointed me!"

Upon hearing this, a look of helplessness and dejection appeared on Boerniefu's face.

Naleishi glared at him, shoved past him, and walked toward the military camp, with Boerniefu following closely behind.

Boerniefu knew the reason for Naleishi's anger toward him.

Under his leadership, the Tsarist Russia territory in Poland has been eroded more and more by the Longyan army and the Ottoman Empire.

It is already difficult to maintain.

Originally, they were in Poland to stop the Longyan from supporting Prussia, and although they achieved great success initially.

But after one battle with the Longyan army, Tsarist Russia could no longer control the downward trend.

The current Tsarist Russia troops have completely lost the fighting spirit they should have.

All of this happened under his, Boerniefu's, leadership.

Naleishi entered the command room and saw the map hanging on the wall; their Tsarist Russia territory in Poland has shrunk significantly.

The Longyan army now occupies most of the ports in Poland.

The situation has changed greatly; looking at the map, they have lost many important passes.

There is no longer any Method to continue holding the Polish territory.

Naleishi sighed upon seeing this mess, while Boerniefu stood to the side without saying a word.

Naleishi said in a deep voice: "You have disappointed me too much, but this is not because you failed."

Boerniefu lowered his head even further.

Naleishi turned around to stare at him and scolded: "You disappoint me because you don't even have the courage to accept failure!"

"Just because you lost one battle against the Longyan, your confidence has been shaken?"

"Just like that, your conviction has been destroyed!"

"Boerniefu, you are an excellent soldier I cultivated with my own hands, and a qualified general."

"The Longyan have an old saying: victory and defeat are common occurrences for a soldier. I hope you can truly understand the meaning of this sentence and not continue to disappoint me."

A gleam returned to Boerniefu's eyes; he raised his head to look at Naleishi's stern face and regained his confidence: "I understand, General!"

Seeing Boerniefu reignite his fighting spirit, Naleishi nodded with satisfaction.

"That's more like it."

"This time I brought thirty thousand men; they have a deep-seated hatred for the Longyan. Use them well, and they can produce miraculous results on the battlefield."

Boerniefu's face lit up, and he asked urgently: "General, when will we launch an operation against the Longyan army?"

Mentioning this, Naleishi's expression sank.

"Wait for orders from above."

Boerniefu was stunned. What did waiting for orders from above mean? Since the new troops had already arrived, they should take action as soon as possible; how could they delay?

This will

wear down the soldiers' patience and fighting spirit.

"What do you mean? Are we not taking action now?"

Naleishi sighed: "No, this order was issued personally by Her Majesty the Empress, and I have no authority to disobey."

"For what reason did Her Majesty the Empress issue such an order?"

"Our Empress has never interfered much in the battlefield; why would she do such a thing now?" Boerniefu asked, puzzled.

Naleishi sighed: "I don't know either. This matter is very suspicious. Not only has my movement been restricted, but even the actions of the Dolgorukov Family have been restricted by Elizabeth I."

"This is the greatest display of power since Elizabeth I ascended the throne; she issued such an order without even convening the parliament."

Boerniefu became suspicious and frowned: "I heard that the Empress has been in poor health recently, and now she issues such an order. The current situation is unstable; it is truly worrying."

Naleishi did not say anything more.

Boerniefu said again: "If that is the case, should we make some preparations to prevent the situation from changing suddenly?"

Naleishi thought for a moment and said: "Indeed, we need to do some. If there is any change in Tsarist Russia, our buffer with the Dolgorukov Family will be completely gone, and it is inevitable that something will happen."

"But for now, we must focus our energy on the current battlefield. I do not want the Longyan army to intervene while Tsarist Russia is having internal strife."

Boerniefu looked at the map: "Since the Empress will not let us take military action, then we shall launch other actions. The top priority now is to grasp the movements of the Longyan army."

"Only then can we formulate a plan to deal with the Longyan army."

Boerniefu nodded; he had already sent out scouts earlier to observe the movements of the Longyan army.

But the effect was minimal. After the Longyan army occupied the ports, their troop strength increased rapidly, and it has become very difficult to scout them.

The Tsarist Russia troops have no way to infiltrate the Longyan army.

This has led to them having little information and being very passive.

This is also their greatest weakness when confronting the Longyan army.

Tsarist Russia possesses the most powerful troops in the world, and their Cossack Cavalry is still the best in the world, but now they have been caught off guard by the Longyan army using an information gap.

"Let us establish a new Information Department; we need to grasp more information to ensure the safety of the army."

Naleishi said in a deep voice.

"Although Her Majesty the Empress has restricted our direct operations against the Longyan army, we can take advantage of this opportunity during this period to prepare for the establishment of a new information agency."

"It is very difficult for us to infiltrate the Longyan army, but their ally, the Ottoman Empire, has quite a few of our eyes and ears."

"Perhaps we will have unexpected gains."

The Ottoman Empire and Tsarist Russia were originally mortal enemies, and both sides learned from Longyan to establish information departments to infiltrate each other.

Even after Tsarist Russia was defeated, their competition with the Ottoman Empire did not end.

Tsarist Russia still has a large number of spies in the Ottoman Empire, but ever since Tsarist Russia was defeated in the struggle for hegemony against the Longyan people and Menshikov fell from power, these intelligence personnel have rarely made contact.
