Section 290 The army of three million
It's a miracle indeed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Because the commander of the Russian army is called Kornilov, he is one of the few strong-willed and strong officers in the Russian army.
He had fought in the East for a long time, and his performance in the European theater was also remarkable.
Originally, there was a figure of similar or even stronger level to him, Kontrachenko, but unfortunately after Kontrachenko ordered the Lushun army to surrender to the Japanese army, he shot himself.
After Kontrachenko's death, Kornilov became one of the few officers with organizational skills and command skills on the level of Kontrachenko.
He was ordered to command operations in Siberia, and finally mastered a huge army of 3 million Russian troops, he was different from other Russian troops on the Western Front, he was very tough, strictly forbade the infiltration of the Bushviks into the army, captured Bushvik members in the army, and had only one way to shoot the soldiers who were encouraged to flee!
The Russians are a rough people, and their top brass is used to ruling in a brutal way, because this trick is good.
Under Kornilov's iron fist, the army of Siberia miraculously did not collapse and was always able to attack.
As a result, when the Japanese continued to deploy troops to support Hailanpao, Boli and other places, the Russian army seized the opportunity and finally captured Chita.
Unlike the Chinese army, the Russians still used the European set, using human lives to pile up, a Chita they lost more than 200,000 soldiers, but they succeeded, when the Japanese army guarding Chita was reduced to 100,000, they broke through the Japanese defense.
However, the Russian army was really unable to continue the offensive, there was a shortage of weapons and ammunition, food and supplies, and winter clothing, and they lacked almost all the war supplies, so Kornilov had to stop the offensive, and the top priority was to find food for his army to eat, clothes to wear, and weapons and ammunition to fight.
It was at this time that Stolypin arrived in Beijing and announced the formation of a government-in-exile, and it would be foolish to say that there was no advance contact between the two men.
As soon as Kornilov arrived in Beijing, he immediately announced that the Siberian Russian army would accept the leadership of the Stolypin government, and from this point of view, they had already been in contact, and it was likely that Stolypin asked Kornilov to strive for a victory in a very short and difficult situation.
Kornilov joined the new government and was immediately appointed commander-in-chief of the army, and Kolchak immediately accepted Stolypin's leadership, and he became commander-in-chief of the Russian navy.
Stolypin declared that he would continue to obey the rule of the Tsarist family, saying that the Beijing government-in-exile was the only legitimate government of Russia that had been maintained for hundreds of years, and that it did not recognize the government in Russia, declaring that it was a rebellion.
But the Tsar remained silent, the pain of losing his son made him completely lose his ambition, he hated to die of his own thing, he was completely tired of the war, and let Stolypin toss.
Stolypin persuaded the Tsar to contact various countries in the name of the legitimate Russian government, and soon the British, French, and Americans recognized the legitimacy of Stolypin's government and established diplomatic relations with him.
But what he needed most was support, it was material support, he began to communicate with the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs frequently, but to no avail, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs under the leadership of Lu Zhengxiang intended to wait and see what happened, and did not recognize the Stolypin government, nor did it recognize the Vladimir government, and planned to wait for the Russians to decide the winner and loser, and then choose to see which government to recognize.
Britain, France, and the United States spared no effort to support the Russians, they completely abandoned Vladimir, and made a big statement in the international community that Vladimir was a German spy, of course, they had a certain truth in what they said, and Vladimir did take the funding of the Germans.
But Yang Chao will not believe that Vladimir is a German spy, just like although he hates Brother Pao, who uses Japanese funding to constantly create turmoil in the country, he does not believe that that kind of guy is a spy, Brother Pao and Japan are just using each other, Japan uses him to mess up China, and he uses Japan to increase strength.
Vladimir is the same, he has received funding from Japan, he has received funding from Germany, but he is just using foreign countries to hold power, people like them only have power in their eyes, what morality, demeanor, and all the shining points in human civilization they don't care, but this also makes this kind of people very strong in combat, because in the absence of any moral constraints, they are more ruthless than anyone else, and the Russians commented that Vladimir's policy is to feed the other half by shooting half of the people.
However, Vladimir is more skilled and adventurous than Brother Cannon, and it is not unreasonable for Pukgeb to say that he is crazy.
Murder and robbery are all considered by these people to be a reasonable way to seize power, which is at the same level as Brother Pao's moral level, but the only thing that Brother Pao can't compare to Vladimir is his courage, he is too desperate for his life.
Vladimir has always liked to take matters into his own hands, being captured, exiled, escaping, and doing anything dangerous, while Brother Pao has never been caught by the Qing government, because he rarely appears at home, directing revolutions abroad, and most recently directing the uprising in Guangdong in Vietnam.
After the success of the revolution, Vladimir returned to the chaotic country as soon as possible, subdued more than 700 Bushvik organizations across the country with a strong attitude, organized the workers, soldiers, and peasants Bushviks around him, forced these people to obey his orders unconditionally, and organized a highly centralized power structure.
After the Xinhai Revolution, Brother Pao waited for a long time before returning to China, and after coming back, he was busy becoming president, and he did not set out to build a strong power and military institutions at all, this is the gap.
It's just that in order to get the support of the soldiers, Vladimir kept propagating and opposing the war, making all kinds of promises, saying to the soldiers that he wanted peace, to the workers that he wanted to raise wages, and to the peasants that he wanted to divide the land, which made Britain, France and the United States, which supported the war, very dissatisfied, and it was impossible to support the Vladimir government at all.
Kerensky's aristocracy, in fact, did not want to fight, but they could not watch Russia collapse, they needed dollar assistance, so they declared the continuation of the war, and Vladimir seized the opportunity to launch a revolution to overthrow the aristocracy, arrest and shoot the aristocratic officials.
Vladimir said that the Kerensky government was a traitorous government, a lackey of US imperialism. Kerensky said that Vladimir was a German spy, and the two sides were happy to smear each other.
And what they said made sense, Kerensky felt that he had to rely on the assistance of the Entente, so he wanted to continue the war, because the Americans did not want to see them collapse, they did not want to see the huge money lent to the Russians go down the drain, so the Kerensky government was a lackey of US imperialism.
Vladimir wants an immediate truce, he wants all the soldiers to go home, and he wants to end this dog-eat-dog imperialist war, but the Russian economy can't feed so many people, so Kerensky said that he intends to feed the other half by shooting half of the people, which also makes sense.
So when Kerensky was defeated, Stolypin became the only option for these imperialists, because Stolypin decided to continue the war and would also admit to borrowing the debt of the Americans.
For a time they were very popular in Beijing, and all countries sent people to communicate with them, recognizing them as the legitimate continuation of the tsarist government, the tsarist government in exile.
Britain, France, and the United States not only urgently gave Stolypin a loan of $500 million, allowing them to purchase supplies from China to maintain the supply of the Russian army in Siberia, but the British even persuaded Japan to come to China and sign a treaty of reconciliation with Russia.
This provoked strong opposition from China, which said that if the tsarist government broke its promise, all the treaties signed with China during the tsarist period would be nullified.
Stolypin chose Britain, France, and the United States, so the Japanese delegation came, led by the Japanese crown prince Hirohito, to Beijing for negotiations.
"This negotiation must be stopped!"
Yang Chao rushed to Beijing in person, and was very dissatisfied with Lu Zhengxiang's diplomatic ability, in fact, he can't be blamed, Li Bodhisattva is too indecisive, although his political skills are strong, but he is too peaceful and not suitable for this kind of fusion political situation.
"Tell the Russians that if they come to an agreement with the Japanese without permission, then they will not get a grain of grain, a bullet and a cotton coat from China! China will blockade the Northeast, and no country's goods will be allowed to pass through the Northeast. ”
Yang Chao told Lu Zhengxiang.
"But where's the president?"
Lu Zhengxiang hesitated.
"I'll go tell you!"
Yang Chao has a big package.
He has disturbed history more and more, completely detached from the original trajectory, and at this time he also feels uncontrollable.
The content of the agreement between the Russians and Japan does not need to be known, and the Japanese must have given up the land of Siberia, because they had actually lost what they had at this time, and they were happy to do a favor and return it to Russia through a treaty.
However, the Russians regained the lost territory, and then there was no conflict with Japan, but with China, so this exile force was not under the control of China.
Yang Chao did everything possible to rescue the Tsar, wasn't it just to control this force.
On the one hand, Yang Chao also began to persuade the Tsar, and on the other hand, he began to communicate with Stolypin.
For a time, Stolypin was not only a popular figure in Britain, France, the United States and other countries, but also an important figure in Yang Chao's eyes.
He will support the tsar to fight back to Europe and fight a civil war with Vladimir, but he definitely does not want the tsar to take back the territory of Siberia, where it has long been the meat of Yang Chao's mouth.
Why, it's not because they have an army of three million in their hands.
However, before convincing Stolypin, Yang Chao had to convince Li Yuanhong that China must stand up and support the tsarist government, which was controlled by Stolypin, a tsarist government without the consent of the tsar himself, a tsarist government with the tsarist family as the banner.
