St. Petersburg, Russia. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

At the end of October, winter in St. Petersburg has already begun. The north wind is howling and the temperature plummets.

Because of the heavy losses suffered in the war, the Russian economy also suffered difficulties. All kinds of supplies are given priority to the army, which inevitably affects the lives of the people. The price of food continued to rise, so did the fuel, and in order to raise huge military expenditures, the tsarist government borrowed heavily and issued paper money indiscriminately, causing the ruble to depreciate. The living conditions of the people of St. Petersburg and Russia as a whole are becoming more and more difficult. Countless Russians were starved and frozen to death because they could not afford food and fuel.

However, Tsar Nicholas II, affectionately known as 'Little Daddy' by the Russian people, simply turned a blind eye to this. In his eyes, there is only the army, only the war. In the opinion of Nicholas II, the suffering of the people was no big deal. Only by winning the present war is the most important thing, and that is what concerns Russia's future.

Tsar Nicholas II, although the talent was mediocre. However, he is very experienced in suppressing popular riots, and often gives cold orders, so that countless Russians shed blood and die in the suppression.

In a nondescript farmhouse on the outskirts of St. Petersburg, a group of people are plotting in a dark and humble room. The most conspicuous of this group is undoubtedly Ulyanov, who is talking loudly and preaching his views to others.

"Comrades, the rule of the tsars has become more and more unpopular. He embroiled our country in an imperialist war. This has brought endless disasters to the country and the people. In the just-concluded Southwest Campaign, the Southwest Front suffered a crushing defeat and was completely annihilated, losing millions of troops. As a result, we have lost more than two million people in this war. Two million families were torn apart as a result. However, as if he didn't see it at all, the tsar was still constantly mobilizing his troops, sending more and more young men to the battlefield to die. The lives of the people in the country have also become miserable because of the impact of the war. The anger in the hearts of the people has accumulated to the peak. As long as we unleash the anger of the people, it will definitely erupt like a volcano. When the time comes, the tyrannical rule of the tsar will surely be overthrown. Ulyanov's face was excited.

"Yes! Comrades, this is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for us. The 1st Guards Army, which was stationed around St. Petersburg, has already been transferred to the front. The entire perimeter of St. Petersburg, the defense is empty. If we take the opportunity to start an uprising, we will surely win! Joseph also said excitedly.

Joseph, as Ulyanov's emissary, contacted the German side. After the decisive victory of the Germans on the Eastern Front, he rushed back to Russia. In his opinion, the time is ripe. If an armed uprising could be launched, the rule of the Tsar would be overthrown in one fell swoop. And isn't this exactly what they have been striving for for many years?

"If you start an armed uprising, will it be too violent? Will the people support us? If it fails, the consequences will be unimaginable. Kamenev, who was sitting next to Ulyanov, frowned.

"It's not going to fail, the anger of the people has been suppressed for too long, and this time, we will definitely succeed. Besides, even if it fails, at most it will escape from Russia. Joseph said nonchalantly.

For them, the leaders of the Russian Cloth Party, they are already very experienced in escaping from Russia.

The other leaders of the Cloth Party also looked at Ulyanov, waiting for him to make a final decision.

In this time and space, because Ulyanov and others received strong support from Germany, their power developed rapidly, and they were undoubtedly the largest faction in the Cloth Party, holding absolute power. Compared to another time and space, the strength and power of Ulyanov and others are much greater. Therefore, they had the strength to have the opportunity to launch an uprising in the first year of the war.

Of course, there was one main factor in this, and that was that Russia suffered an unprecedented defeat in the war. Under such circumstances, the Russian Cloth Party had the opportunity to launch an uprising earlier than in another time and space.

"Joseph, can we still keep our contact with the Germans?" Ulyanov asked.

"Leader, we are always in contact with the German side. They have just provided us with financial support of two million marks, as well as a batch of weapons and equipment for us to start an uprising. Joseph said.

Many of the leaders of the Cloth Party were short of breath when they heard that they had received another sum of money from the Germans. Their lives are already very poor. Otherwise, they would not have joined the party. Thanks to the support of the German side, their living conditions have been greatly improved. Otherwise, their lives will be even worse.

"It doesn't seem good that we are so always receiving help from the Germans! Whatever one may say, they are our enemies. Kamenev frowned.

A flash of displeasure flashed in Ulyanov's eyes, and he thought that Kamenev was questioning whether he should accept German help. But who else in the world will support them besides Germany? Although, Ulyanov also knew that the Germans were not good birds, and they supported Russia because they had bigger intentions. However, the enemy of the so-called enemy is a friend. Being able to overthrow the rule of the Tsar with the help of the Germans was undoubtedly a very good thing for them, and it was also an excellent opportunity. Ulyanov, naturally, will not let go of this opportunity.

"We are just taking advantage of the Germans. When we overthrow the Tsar, we will no longer have to rely on their support. Ulyanov said with a blank face.

Kamenev was a little upset when he saw Ulyanov, so he had to keep silent. The current party has become a hall of words for Ulyanov's people, and there is no so-called democracy at all.

"Now that the time is ripe, let's do it! Whether our revolution in Russia will succeed or not depends on this time! Ulyanov said.

"Yes, Leader. We can succeed. Joseph and the others were all excited, as if they had seen the moment when the revolution had succeeded and they had become the rulers of Russia.
