The special train sent by Kaiser Wilhelm II to transport oil arrived at the East Prussia border station on the night of March 11th and began track-changing operations.
Regardless of whether it is the last time and space or this time and space, the orbit construction of various countries is in a state of chaos at this moment. The international orbit standard gauge of the last time and space was only formulated in the 1930s. Before that, there were
There are more than thirty kinds of track gauge standards.
In this time and space, due to the existence of force-guiding technology, a fantasy technology that operates entirely in a manual workshop style and has considerable influence, the international standardization process is slightly slower than in the previous time and space, and the gauge of train tracks is more chaotic.
Due to technical limitations, the rail-changing operation took about ten hours. During these ten hours, the train carrying fuel, which was closely related to the life of Tsarist Russia, could only lie quietly on the border, unable to move.
This is the perfect time to launch an attack on a train.
Witnesses that night claimed that the violent explosion shook most of East Prussia, and the fire caused by oil illuminated the Junker Manor within a radius of dozens of kilometers. The billowing smoke was clearly visible even in the night.

Alexandra Rasputin stood on the deck of the airship, looking back and forth at the girls lining up on the deck.
Behind her, mechanics were adding fuel to the internal combustion engine components of the new armor. The technicians were very careful in their movements, for fear of wasting even a drop of fuel. At this time, the fuel stock of the Tsarist Russian Army was already below the red line. Even this kind of
I cannot afford this level of waste.
Rasputin was silent for a long time and finally spoke: "Today, only I will take off."
Her words caused a lot of discussion among the Shenji girls. The girls looked at each other, wondering why the chief knight said such words at this juncture.
"We can still fight," one of the representatives said. "Even if there is no fuel, we can still fight the Bolsheviks with traditional equipment until the last moment! We would rather die of exhaustion with glory on the battlefield than become Bolsheviks."
They are puppets! We will never forgive them for what they did to the girls of the Third Paladin Regiment!"
Alexandra shook her head. She took a deep breath and said to her remaining subordinates: "Death with honor is certainly a good choice, but it is meaningless. It is just a waste of your own life. We as
Shen Ji, who had an extremely rare bloodline given by God, died meaninglessly in this wasteland. This is undoubtedly a waste.
"As for me, I don't have long left in my life. I know this better than anyone else, and many of you still have more than a few decades of good life waiting for you. If I don't live long,
, can be exchanged for your survival. It has irreplaceable meaning."
There was a brief silence in response to Rasputin, and then a girl asked: "Your Excellency Chief Knight, even if we survive, where can we go? Russia is dying, and the double-headed eagle is about to fall. Even if they surrender to the Bolsheviks, can they
Do you trust us completely? Many of the goddesses fighting us this time are sisters who were captured in Vladivostok. Everyone can see that the Bolsheviks are using them as cannon fodder!"
These words directly hit the biggest worry in the hearts of all the gods present. No, in fact, this is the biggest worry in the hearts of everyone present - so even the busy mechanical technicians slowed down their work and pricked up their ears.
Listen carefully.
"Don't worry, go back to Petersburg and ask you to find Natasha Petrovich Stolypin, Stolypin's daughter." The expression on Alexandra's face was mysterious and familiar to her.
Everyone knows that this shows that she is once again exerting her talent in "prophecy". "She and her father will give you a clear way. The voice of God told me. The messenger from the jackal has given him
It brings the last hope of preserving Russian orthodoxy."
After saying that, Alexandra turned around and ordered to the chief technician: "Stop refueling other internal combustion engines. The remaining precious fuel will be left to Petersburg. After I took off, the air fleet immediately turned around and moved the First Paladin Regiment.
The remaining knights are brought back to His Majesty the Tsar."
As soon as Alexandra finished speaking, a goddess stood up from the queue behind her.
"I can be considered immortal," she said. "In two years, I will retire. Let me burn one last time."
Then eight more goddesses stood up and frankly stated that their lives were not long and they were willing to die with Alexandra.
The other goddesses who still had a long life were silent, and a solemn and solemn atmosphere enveloped the deck of the airship.

When receiving the report of the retreat of the Paladin airships, Admiral Alexei Brusinov, who served as the supreme commander of the campaign, was studying the map with his staff.
The staff officers' faces turned green when they heard the news, but Brusinov looked indifferent. He slowly walked to the window of the headquarters and looked up at the fleet of flying ships in the sky that were gradually receding.
, with his hands behind his back, he remained silent for a long time like a statue.
"General!" Brusinov's chief of staff couldn't hold it in any longer. "The Shenji troops retreated without the permission of the front army's headquarters. This is a serious act of desertion. We should immediately dispatch the airships affiliated with the headquarters.
Recover them! And organize a temporary military court to deal with this matter seriously!"
The army-level headquarters of the group army will be equipped with small airships for senior officers to travel and to deliver emergency orders. This is a common practice among the armies of major powers.
Brusinov shook his head and rejected the chief of staff's suggestion.
"What's the point? We have no fuel. After losing the new armor, even if the Shenji girls lift off with old-fashioned weapons, they can only last for half a day at most." Brusinov turned around and glanced at his staff officers one by one.
Say in a voice that does not contain sadness or joy, "We have failed, the Russian Empire is dead, and everything we do next is just a meaningless struggle. So, if any of you want to leave, I will not stop you."
"
Alexei Brusinov was the only commander under Tsar Nicholas II to achieve a real victory in the last time and space. In 1916, he launched Tsarist Russia's only successful offensive campaign in World War I.
, forcing the German Chief of General Staff Falkenhayn to mobilize troops from the Verdun front to the Eastern Front to support the crumbling Austro-Hungarian army, creating an opportunity for Pétain to mobilize troops to strengthen the defense of Verdun.
In this time and space, it seems that this talented commander has no chance to display his talents. The scene is so exciting. (To be continued...)
