Chapter 445: Preparing for the Worst (Part II)
However, the Japanese are Japanese after all, Li Hui doesn't believe that they can have much loyalty to China, and now they are honest and obedient because they work in China with high income and good treatment, but if the Three Kingdoms War turns into a world war, forcing China to carry out a general mobilization, let them also tighten their belts to live, what kind of performance these guys will have at that time, Li Hui is really not at ease, so he sings against the world and listens to the majesty and domineering, but now it is obvious that the conditions are not yet available.

However, as the so-called "preparedness", Li Hui still has to make the worst plan, and does not hesitate to sacrifice a period of basic education development to accelerate the training of domestic workers, especially skilled workers, and there is the consideration of ending the dependence on Japanese talents as soon as possible, Li Hui has never thought of annexing the whole world, which is simply impossible, but he hopes that the whole world will depend on China, and China will not be affected by any foreign country, so as to ensure China's dominant position in the world. However, it is necessary to avoid its East Asian neighbors who turn against the water and surrender to the enemy, and Li Hui is particularly attentive.
In addition to such reactive measures to deal with adverse situations, Li Hui is also prepared to find something for the Western powers to do so that they do not have time to focus on China, which is a more proactive strategy. Li Hui specially invited the revolutionary mentor and many of his disciples to China, not only to drag the Tsarist government back and force it to compromise and sue for peace, but also to let the terrible red giant bear be born ahead of schedule, to act as a good MT for China, and to pull away the hatred of the Western powers......
However, the Mentor was so shrewd that he had long understood Li Hui's purpose, and even though it was clear that they needed China's help more now, they still dared to make all kinds of demands. Of course, a mentor is a mentor, and the scale is well grasped, and while striving for the maximum benefits for the Bolsheviks, it will not completely annoy Li Hui and cause them to break up.
Li Hui also felt the gap between himself and the real great man, if there was no golden thigh of the system, he who has now fully grown up may not be inferior to a figure like Zeng Guofan Li Hongzhang, but compared with the world's great politicians who can be called once in a century, the gap is still quite large. However, now that China is on the strong side, the success of the Russian Revolution is only the icing on the cake for China, and China's help is a relief for the Bolsheviks, who have finally completely become independent from the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party after his arrival in China, and are still very weak......
And Li Hui's various whimsical ideas brought by his status as a traverser were enough to make Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov's eyes shine, and the most exciting thing for him was Li Hui's idea of letting the Bolsheviks carry out political propaganda and ideological transformation of Russian prisoners of war. Once this plan succeeded, the Bolsheviks would soon have a strong Red Army that would rival the Tsarist army, and if Li Hui armed this Red Army and sent it back to Russia at the right time, the Bolsheviks' ideal of turning all Russia into reality would become a reality.
Although the influence of the Bolsheviks in Russia is still far less than that of the Mensheviks, and the personal prestige of the mentor is not as good as that of his predecessor Plekhanov, the mentor understands the truth that "power comes out of the barrel of a gun", and as long as the Bolsheviks have a strong Red Army in their hands, the Mensheviks, who do not have the courage to carry out violent revolution, are unable to compete with them......
However, this work was not carried out particularly smoothly, because there was a vicious war between China and Russia, and with the continuous defeat of the Russian army, China had "occupied" a large area of "Russian territory", and in the eyes of the Russians who held nationalist views, the Bolsheviks who cooperated with the "aggressors" and conspired to subvert the legitimate government of Russia were undoubtedly out-and-out traitors, and under their covert guidance, many Russian prisoners of war blamed their suffering on the betrayal of the "Russian traitors", which greatly increased the difficulty of the Bolshevik work.
No, just after New Year's Day in 1908, the mentor came to Li Hui again for this matter, hoping that the Chinese prisoner of war administration could better cooperate, "Dear Li, according to our previous analysis, if the Russian Revolution wants to succeed, it needs at least 100,000 Bolshevik military cadres, but the narrow nationalist ideology has greatly hindered our work, and it has been so long that less than 10,000 party members have developed among the prisoners of war, this speed is too slow, I hope you can order the prisoner of war camp to take some measures to cooperate with our party." so that the Russian people can be liberated more quickly and our common goals can be achieved. ”
"I remember that the rehabilitation of prisoners of war only officially began in October, right? It's only a quarter, and relying on the more than 1,000 cloth parties who came to China to develop thousands of downlines among the prisoners of war, this speed is obviously very fast, right? Li Hui was speechless, but it was a good thing that the mentor was anxious, if he wasn't anxious, Li Hui would be anxious.
I saw Li Hui laughing, stepped forward and grabbed the hand of the mentor and said, "Comrade Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, don't be in such a hurry, we have an old saying in China, called 'If you want to hurry, you can't reach it', of course we can take some measures, such as treating those reactionaries harshly and giving preferential treatment to those prisoners of war who join your party, so as to induce Russian prisoners of war to join your party." But is it really good that the Bolsheviks will appear to have grown stronger on the surface, but there will be a large number of speculators in them, and that will be very good? ”
The revolutionary mentor was clearly prepared for this, and immediately replied, "It doesn't matter, this problem can be solved through internal purge, and it is more important to buy time." ”
Li Hui sighed slightly after hearing this, it seems that the Russian Revolution will still return to the historical line, but the mentor's idea is indeed feasible, during the October Revolution in history, even the Bolsheviks abroad were only 30,000 or 40,000, but they still succeeded, relying on rapid expansion and harsh suppression.
Although the process was not humane, the process of the revolution was greatly accelerated, and in just a few years, the revolution was successful, and then in just a dozen years, the nascent Soviet Union became the world's second largest industrial country, a near-miraculous achievement that cannot be found in the history of the world. If it had developed steadily, the Soviet Union would not have been able to achieve so much in the same amount of time in any case, and it might even have led to the defeat of the revolution because of the delayed opportunity.
