Chapter 1655: Into the City
Among this group of people, in addition to more than 300 armed men, the remaining more than 100 people, when choosing, Stalin deliberately selected, this part of the personnel is either from Moscow, or is very familiar with the surrounding areas of Moscow, they know the surrounding roads, and soon, they settled the personnel in a small village around St. Petersburg, which is relatively remote, and there are only two roads to enter, if these two roads are guarded, even if the army gathers, it may not be able to enter in a short time.

After settling the personnel, the rest sent personnel into St. Petersburg, they don't know, their move, among the big nobles and royalists, what a big wave, 200 people, 5 elite squads, this in the entire St. Petersburg around, is only 30, suddenly less than one-sixth of the strength, or completely lost traces, this is always suspicious, who is the shot, these squads also suddenly got up, and did not notify others, What are they going to do, so that the atmosphere is even more obvious, could it be that the State Duma found out.
The strength that these great nobles can use is limited, that is, thousands of private soldiers, which have survived for many years, and you must know that along with the workers' and peasants' Soviets, there are also some revolutionary ideas spreading, and those who are really willing to be loyal to these nobles are almost minimal, and therefore, the loss of 200 people is enough to break the bones.
Because of this, on the premise of not understanding the situation, they did not dare to move more, and even let part of the grain convoy enter St. Petersburg, although it cannot be said that the problem of St. Petersburg has been completely solved, but it is much better than the previous despair, with the arrival of new food, the despair of food shortage, not as crazy as before, and the social situation began to ease.
However, the chaos has already been created, and it is not so easy to recover, but these people from Kazakhstan have been given the opportunity to take advantage of the chaos and enter St. Petersburg.
There are almost three groups of 18 people who entered St. Petersburg, at least 9 of them are natives of St. Petersburg, the impression of St. Petersburg, still in the impression that Russia is also a European power, and the influence of the tsar itself in Europe is also huge, for the sake of face, St. Petersburg will also be built well, not to mention, St. Petersburg is a historical royal capital, a large number of palaces and aristocratic areas, so that these have become the places that Russians in China yearn for.
It's a pity that the current St. Petersburg can no longer see the original heritage, the streets, the barricades have not been completely removed, especially the previous food shortage, between the regions, in order to protect the grain, directly put out the weapons that have been sealed for a long time, and the confrontation of 100 people, or even more than 1,000 people, emerges in endlessly, until now, even if there is a new grain process, this confrontation still has not stopped.
Because the situation in St. Petersburg was very chaotic, the leader who led the team into St. Petersburg did not dare to act separately, he knew that the large army was relatively safe, so he was relieved to arrange the next things.
The first thing they had to do when they entered Moscow was to quickly get into a suitable place, settle down, set up a base camp for their personnel, and establish contact with the Kazakh side.
The chaos in St. Petersburg has been going on for more than a month, and the chaos and food shortage have directly made most of St. Petersburg residents a little worried.
It cost less than estimated, and there are more houses purchased, 7 residences together, forming a large area, they are also smart, these places are spread over 5 roads, as long as the interior is opened, you can have at least 5 exits, plus other purchased houses, as long as the tunnels are connected, there are more exits, which is also in line with the previous instructor's teaching, in a city, just a single house, it is not safe enough at all, there must be enough exits, flexible enough.
After settling down at home, everyone gathered in the base camp and telegraphed people outside, and by the evening of the same day, five groups of 30 people entered, and only then did they begin to send personnel to inquire about the situation.
The situation in St. Petersburg is almost obvious, plus these people sent out are originally St. Petersburg people, and they have some relatives and friends in the local area, and soon, one by one, the news is compiled.
In charge of handling this information was Bitchweaver, who was not ranked in the Bolshevik army, but he was the first to lean towards Stalin, and his rank was not high, but in fact, he was quite important among Stalin's men.
This time, after entering St. Petersburg, he was the second group to enter St. Petersburg, and the other, second only to him, was dealt with outside the city, because he had served as Lenin's confidential secretary, and although his status in the party was not particularly high, he knew Lenin and was the best person to establish contact with Lenin.
The task of Beechweaver was quite heavy, not only to establish the whole base camp, but also to establish contact with the Bolsheviks, and this problem of proportion was the most difficult for him to grasp.
Fortunately, Bitchweaver is also a good leader, whether it is in China's Russian City, or in Kazakhstan, he has held positions, and he is relatively long in government affairs, he quickly settled the personnel, part of the funds were put into the base camp, and part of it was spent, and he also made the situation in St. Petersburg clear, the situation in St. Petersburg is quite bad, even the most basic food problems.
A few years in China broadened Beechweaver's horizons, and he knew that even China had established a plan for grain reserves to deal with unfavorable situations and natural disasters, although this reserve seemed quite wasteful, but the purpose of the reserve was to cope with the extreme state, not to mention that every year, once in a hundred years, the money from this reserve could be spent.
At this point, not only did Russia not think of it before, even the Bolsheviks did not realize it, and in this food shortage, there was waste caused by the chaotic situation, and there were also newcomers who contributed to it, especially the attack they encountered after they came to St. Petersburg.
Now it seems that it was not discovered by others, I'm afraid it's just a coincidence, they have such a huge team, and a large number of material convoys, which are considered by the other party to be armed to escort food, in order to create chaos in St. Petersburg, they did not allow any grain to enter St. Petersburg, so they attacked the convoy, but they did not realize that the combat effectiveness of this convoy was far above them, and soon, the sneak attack war not only did not produce any effect, but was destroyed by them.
After it was destroyed, no forces and troops came to investigate, and they pursued them closely, so that many of their arrangements failed, and now it seems that it is not a big force at all, but it is just some interception and killing done by people with intentions, dealing with ordinary armed convoys, which is enough, but compared with the regular army like the Bolshevik Army, it is really not an opponent.
After figuring out this problem, Bitchweaver was completely relieved, it was just a group of businessmen or outdated aristocrats, and it was impossible to have much impact on them, at this moment, in St. Petersburg, the most expensive thing was grain, this time Stalin sent people to bring at least 5 million US dollars, in this era of strong dollars and depreciation of the ruble, this is a large sum, although it is said that because of the food crisis, the price of dollars has been greatly discounted, but they are not without food, they carry food, mainly the rations along the way, and some reserve food, in order to deal with the more complicated situation, relatively speaking, it is not a lot, only about 20 tons, loaded with 12 carriages, far less than 25 carriages of weapons, but I didn't expect that such a casual stroke, but it has become the finishing touch, 20 tons of grain, not ordinary food such as rice and flour, the vast majority of them are individual compressed biscuits, luncheon meat, ham sausages and the like, not to mention luncheon meat and ham sausages such as meat, they are in St. Petersburg, where there is a food shortage, The value is higher, let's say about 13 tons of compressed biscuits, their calories are huge, if you save food, at least 100 tons of food.
After settling down in the base camp, Bitchweaver not only established contact with the outside of the city, but also informed Stalin of the current situation in St. Petersburg and the lack of food on this side.
Kazakhstan can not be regarded as the traditional grain producing area of the whole Russia, but his land is relatively large, the Dead Sea area is relatively wet, and grain can be grown through irrigation, and the amount of grain is good, at least a little stronger than St. Petersburg, and the most important thing is that China has grain, China is the world's largest grain exporter, and under its own scientific planting, China's grain output far exceeds that of the vast majority of countries in the world. Coupled with the power of the combination of traditional grain producing areas such as Southeast Asia and China's agricultural science and technology, China's grain has been separated from the problem of output and gradually moved towards quality.
Bitchweaver, who had lived in China and was still a high-ranking Bolshevik officer, knew quite well that at the current price of grain in St. Petersburg, even buying Chinese grain with foreign exchange was enough to make a lot of money, not to mention that at a special moment, grain could play a role they could not imagine.
