There is no real friendship between the two and the country, and it is all about Lixi and Aoyong's interests.

In the same way that diplomatic relations between China and the United Kingdom depend on national interests, so Russia's diplomatic relations with the United Kingdom depend on national interests. Knowing this, it is understandable why the British and French governments would recognize the status of the new Russian government in exchange for the new Russian government's diplomatic action to continue the war against Germany.

And this. In fact, after the outbreak of the "Wushen Revolution" in China, the British and French governments also made similar threats on the issue of whether to grant diplomatic recognition to the newly established republican government, but the two governments at that time valued privileges in China rather than international war.

This is the norm of international diplomatic action, everything is to achieve the maximization of their own national interests, and diplomats are the people who carry out this action, although there are no knives, guns and clubs in their hands, but there is a sovereign state and a strong government standing behind them, holding swords, guns and sticks, without the support of sovereign countries and strong governments, this kind of diplomatic action cannot be implemented, the so-called "weak country without diplomacy" is what it says, the truth.

But Russia is not the China of the past. After all, Russia is a great power, with a vast territory and a national strength that cannot be underestimated, and although the revolution against the tsarist system has now exploded, no one dares to despise this dormant polar bear, so even the British government and the French government are very cautious in their policy toward Russia, and they did not directly threaten to support the restoration of the tsar, but only sent two diplomats to "inquire" about the Russian provisional government's policy toward Germany.

In his view, the British and French governments were not unfounded in their fears that the new Russian government might withdraw from the war against Germany, but that it was actually determined by the current balance of forces in Russian politics.

After the outbreak of the Russian Revolution against tsarism. All strata of Russian society and all political forces participated in the revolution to varying degrees. After the revolutionaries took full control of Petrograd, two parallel political entities appeared in the city: the "Duma Committee", whose main members were from the middle class and the upper strata, and the "Soviets of Workers' and Soldiers' Deputies", whose main members were from the revolutionary soldiers and the lower strata of society. and some of the intellectuals who advocated social and revolutionary revolution, the two parallel political entities did not agree on their political views, and even diverged greatly, and the formation of the provisional government was in fact the result of the latter's pressure on the former, and also the result of mutual compromise between the two.

At present, some people in the Duma committee advocate continuing the war against Germany, while some people in the Soviets advocate an immediate withdrawal from the war, and the two factions are arguing very fiercely, and it is not clear which side will have the upper hand, so neither the British Government nor the French Government immediately gave the Provisional Government diplomatic formal recognition, and in fact, the ambassadors of the two countries to Russia are now in the capacity of Chargé d'Affaires ad temporary, and Shi Zhaoji is the same.

If the Tsar had accepted the advice of the Provisional Government and immediately announced his abdication, the current situation in Russia would not have been so complicated, but His Majesty the Tsar had heeded the advice of Rasputin, a favorite and prophet of his side, refused to surrender the throne, and was gathering generals and high-ranking officers loyal to the Tsar to prepare to retake Petrograd and regain power by force.

In line with the position of the British and French governments, the German government, after seeing the Tsar's refusal to abdicate. It was also immediately ordered that the German troops on the front line temporarily stop attacking the Russian positions, as for what the German government was thinking. At present, we can only speculate, and most people, including Shi Zhaoji, believe that the German government's move is to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and when the Russian royalists and republicans are inseparable, the German army will choose the right time to attack. Easily settle the war on the Eastern Front.

In this situation. The British and French governments, of course, were anxious about what the consequences of the Russian Revolution would be. They don't care at the moment, they only care about whether the Russian ** team will continue to share the military pressure on the Entente on the Eastern Front, if the Russian republicans can't guarantee to continue the war against Germany, then the British government and the French government will have to consider supporting the tsar to regain power, although the two governments are also very clear that the current tsar has completely lost the trust of the people, even if it can barely regain power, it is very questionable how much combat power the Russian army can have, but since the United States has not yet declared war on Germany, then. Britain and France could only stabilize the situation on the Eastern Front before anything else.

This was the background of the British ambassador to Russia and the French ambassador to Russia rushing to the Winter Palace to meet with the brains of the Russian Provisional Government, but the two of them, like Shi Zhaoji, sat on the cold bench in the conference room for a long time, and no one came to receive them, and no one even came to replace them when the coffee was cold.

The chaos and panic caused by the revolution can be seen from this, and Shi Zhaoji also has a deep understanding of this, and seeing this scene, he can't help but secretly rejoice that the "Wushen Revolution" did not last too long. Speaking of which, Yuan Shikai does have credit for the "determination of the republic", although he may not be out of public intentions.

The three ambassadors sat on the sand in the conference room, and occasionally talked a few words, all about the situation in Russia, but as for the situation in the Far East, they did not mention it at all, and perhaps, the British and French governments did not have the time to care about the Far East at all.

It wasn't until almost noon that the Duke of Brain Leverf, who was in the Provisional Government, arrived in the conference room. The second diplomat in Russia gave a talk to him, and Qian Shi Zhaoji was only responsible for the diplomatic memorandum on the Russian concession incident, so he quickly ended the talks with the Duke of Lvov, and after taking his leave, he hurriedly left the Winter Palace with his assistants, got into a carriage, and rushed back to the Chinese embassy in Petrograd.

By this time, the sky had cleared, but the temperature was still very low, and the window glass of the carriage was soon covered with a layer of fog.

Strinky raised his hand, wiped the fog from the glass, and looked out the window, where he could see a number of Russian workers and soldiers marching along the way, and judging by the armbands they wore on their arms, they all had different opinions.

Shi Zhaoji sat back, closed his eyes, and he remembered the one he was hanging before he was ordered to go to Russia, and Shuai Tang accepted it. The special task, which was given to him by the president himself, was to order Shi Zhaoji to use all channels and means. Keep track of those messages about the "international radicals". Even rumors on the streets can't be spared.

Shi Zhaoji understood what the president was talking about as an "international radical." What does it mean, he has also carefully studied their theories, and has been shocked by their theories, he has seriously analyzed, he thinks. Once these theories are put into practice, they will at least bring about drastic changes in the world, regardless of whether they are brilliant or not.

In accordance with the president's instructions, Shi Juji carefully collected all the information about the "international radicals." And a report was compiled every month, sent back to the presidential palace by diplomatic mail, and submitted to the president for review, and it seemed that the president was very satisfied with his work. He has been commended for his diligence many times, and has revealed the intention of transferring him back to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to cultivate him. However, so far, Shi Juji has not received any order to transfer him back to China. It seems that he will have to stay in Petrograd until the chaos caused by the revolution ends, or the situation in Russia stabilizes.

Through the slogans of those marches and marches, Shi Zhaoji believes that most of them are the "international radicals" and that now, they are most concerned about two issues, the first is the problem of food for the people in the city, and the second is the land problem of the people in the countryside. These two problems are also the problems that currently plague the Russian Provisional Government, and if they are not solved well, Shi Juji has no doubt that Petrograd will break out again.

"This era is really a complicated era, and everyone wants to perform on stage. No one will give up their place in the show, and it is no wonder that there are wars everywhere, and there are disturbances everywhere. It's still calm in the country. This European war has indeed brought a lot of benefits to our country. I just don't know. Will the center be kept all the time?

Shi Juji pondered in his heart, and was calculating whether China would join the Entente bloc to fight against Germany, and the benefits would be greater, or whether he would always keep his hand, and suddenly patted his knee.

"Sir. You see, it was the German bombers. The assistant raised his hand and pointed out the window.

Shi Anji looked out the car window, and sure enough, he saw several heavy bombers skimming the northern sky thousands of meters away from west to east, and the roar of the motive was already faintly audible.

Since two years ago, the Luftwaffe has used a small number of bombers to carry out a major bombing campaign in Petrograd, and although the casualties caused are not large, they are a heavy blow to the morale of the Russians. In order to deal with the bombers of the Luftwaffe, the Russian arsenal also rushed to manufacture fighters and anti-aircraft guns, relying on these anti-aircraft weapons to defend the skies of Petrograd, and caused some losses to the Luftwaffe. As well as the accompanying fighter planes, the skies of Petrograd erupted in several tragic air offensive and defensive battles, and Russian musicians even composed "Eagle over Petrograd" as a hymn to the Russian Air Force.

However, since the Petrograd Revolution, the Luftwaffe has not dropped bombs on the city again. Instead, they switched to leaflets, inciting Russian civilians to "completely exterminate the aristocracy." "And the number of bomber sorties was significantly reduced, as if to reduce the hostility of the Russian Air Force.

"Sir. Is it a place to hide? The assistant asked.

Shi Jinki shook his head, looked at the bombers, and said, "Maybe I'm here to drop leaflets."

Look and talk again, if you don't drop bombs. Let's hurry back to the embassy. ”

Shi Zhaoji was right, those Luftwaffe bombers were indeed here to drop leaflets, running through the city from west to east. Then retreated from northern airspace and disappeared into the distance before the Russian Air Force fighters who had taken off to meet them arrived.

The carriage walked very fast, and returned to the Chinese embassy in Russia before one o'clock in the afternoon, and when Shi Zhaoji got out of the carriage, he appeared, and the streets near the embassy were littered with leaflets, all dropped by German bombers.

Shi Zhaoji picked up a leaflet with Russian written on it, but the content was a little different from the previous day, on which the Germans were desperately propagating the arrival of the Tsarist army on the outskirts of Petrograd, inciting the revolutionary soldiers in Petrograd to eliminate the constitutional elements in the Provisional Government in order to "defend the republic."

The German Empire, with its constitutional monarchy, was calling on the Russian people to defend the republican government. This was somewhat ironic, Shi Zhaoji smiled, threw the flyer, and clapped his hands. Then walked into the embassy.

"Everything is a benefit, a national interest."
