Section 360 The Russian Civil War
Of course, the impact of the general rise in wages was very great, the prices in the cities increased, agricultural products began to increase, and the profits of the capitalists inevitably decreased, and the era of windfall profits slowly came to an end. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
This influence will not be able to show for a while, at least Yang Chao has not seen it, he has already arrived in Russia.
The airship landed in Tyumen, where it was because it was still in the hands of the Chinese Defense Forces.
Yang Chao didn't want to go to the Tsar's territory alone, but he knew that now the Tsar's subordinates had a group of wise people, but they attributed Russia's suffering to Yang Chao, and they saw it very accurately, and felt that the reason why Russia was so miserable was because Yang Chao was an enemy of Russia again and again.
This group of people is especially composed of middle- and lower-level officers and young people from civilian backgrounds, who dares to guarantee that where Yang Chao went to the Tsar, there will be one or two crazy among these people.
In addition, there are pervasive Bushvik spies, needless to say, among the Tsar's current subordinates, there must be Vladimir's spies, these people are not dead, in order to make the Tsar and Yang Chao have a bad relationship, it is not impossible for them to risk their lives.
In order to cause unnecessary trouble, Yang Chao fortunately stayed in Tyumen.
Olga immediately went to see her father and sister, and brought a large number of gifts to her relatives, including tobacco for the Tsar, new clothes for her sister, gold and silver jewelry, etc.
The Chinese National Defense Forces here in Tyumen already have a group army, and China's military system adopts a three-three system, with one army under three divisions, one group army under three armies and nine divisions, plus troops directly under all levels, the number of which is generally 100,000.
The commander of the group army was Wang Changping, who was also Yang Chao's confidant and the first group of people to follow Yang Chao.
At present, the first batch of more than 60 people who followed Yang Chao basically served at the group army level, and the ability of these people may not be enough. But it doesn't matter, Yang Chao has set up a qualified staff department to help them staff officers, and their role is only to issue orders, and it doesn't matter if this order is from their minds.
And Yang Chao relied on these people to firmly control the current army of 6 million, even if Yang Chao is not the president, these people will still listen to him.
Wang Changping still regarded Yang Chao as an old chief and a nobleman who promoted him.
"The situation in Russia is very bad. The famine that began last year was severe. Soviet Russia sent a million-strong army to the Ural Mountains to be heavily fortified, but there were still refugees sneaking here. More than 2,000 people have come over this month, all hungry and skinny, and they don't look like people. ”
Wang Changping, who was born as a peasant, genuinely sympathized with the refugees who risked their lives to cross the blockade line of Soviet Russia.
"Everywhere there were peasant rebellions. Soviet Russia has now recruited more than 5 million people to suppress it everywhere. I heard that many of their troops were sent to suppress the peasants, but instead they rebelled with the peasants. Now the whole of Russia is at war. ”
Wang Changping continued.
Although Vladimir sent a large number of military commissars to the army, none of whom had a document to arrest and shoot the military commander, but it was still the old officers of the tsar who controlled the army, because only these people had military experience, and Vladimir controlled these officers only by the families of the officers.
But when some people see the suffering of the peasants, they who are also from peasants can even give up their families in pain, or some tyrants can ignore their relatives, or low-level officers directly rise up to rebel, anyway, all kinds of rebellions emerge in endlessly.
In this case: "So the tsar wants to take the opportunity to fight back?" ”
The reason why Yang Chao wanted to come to Siberia in person, in addition to accompanying his daughter-in-law back to her parents' home, was to understand the situation.
Wang Changping shook his head: "As far as I know, it is mainly the officers under the tsar who want to fight back, and this place in Siberia is not for people, and the bricks can be frozen in winter." So a large number of Russian officers and soldiers wanted to go back there. Kornilov, these senior generals, their families heard that they were all shot by Soviet Russia, it was a sea of blood feud, and they wanted to fight back from top to bottom. The Tsar didn't want to go to war anymore. I heard that the tsar is now in no business, and locks himself in his room all day, unable to sleep all day long. ”
The Tsar's spirit of being tortured by responsibility and pressure was somewhat abnormal, although the Russians kept it secret, Yang Chao still heard some rumors, but did not confirm it, Wang Changping's news was obtained from the mouths of some high-ranking Russian officers, and it was still credible.
"Do you think the Tsar can fight back?"
Yang Chao asked, wanting to hear Wang Changping's opinion.
Wang Changping said: "I can still do it. I've heard that life can't go on over there. ”
Then Wang Changping lowered his voice and looked gloomy: "I heard that they have started to eat people." The meat that was sold, tsk-"
Wang Changping said, frowning, meat markets in Moscow and other cities have long been closed, and the reason is self-evident.
This is obvious, Vladimir's steel-like heart, thinking that if he is ruthless to the peasants, he will be able to find food for the workers, but unfortunately, the peasants are frightened, no one dares to grow grain, everyone is afraid that they will become rich peasants and be targeted, so the land that the poor peasants snatched from the rich peasants did not dare to plant, and the rich peasants were indeed eliminated, but the farms that were well cultivated by the rich peasants were also abandoned.
It was originally the breadbasket of Europe, but it has become the largest wasteland in Europe, and it is no wonder that there is no famine.
"I think that as long as the tsar returns to Russia, the common people will definitely respond to every call and will kill all the rebels in Soviet Russia."
Wang Changping still believes in the set preached by Confucianism, and those who win the hearts of the people win the world.
But after all these years, Yang Chao has completely understood some truths, sometimes things are really not what you hear, for example, he has always thought that the combat effectiveness of the modern army is because of national consciousness, because of national enthusiasm and patriotism.
But when he really understood the war, he understood that everything is the reason for state propaganda, and war is the most ruthless and terrifying machine, and only the most ruthless machine will achieve the final victory.
The soldiers may have a patriotic complex when they enter the army, but it is the machine guns of the overseers behind them that keep them in the trenches and always fight.
And it's not that the veterans are more combative, the veterans are braver, but the recruits who have just entered the trenches are in a better mental state, the more veterans, the more their spirits collapse, and the easier it is to become deserters, all of which subvert Yang Chao's thinking.
Maybe it would have been different during World War II, but there was absolutely no humanity in the trench warfare of World War I.
In the face of the threat of death, Yang Chao absolutely did not believe that the Russian people had any consciousness, if they were really conscious, they would not have made their country so chaotic now.
So Yang Chao smiled bitterly: "The tsar can't do anything." ”
Wang Changping was puzzled: "I don't understand my humble position. ”
Yang Chao sighed: "They don't have that group of people to hate." ”
Vladimir is a real revolutionary, he himself has broken all the traditional human morality, he has a daughter, and his daughter also works in his department, but he can always treat his daughter equally, call each other comrades, completely strangers, everyone in Moscow can't eat, his daughter finally couldn't help it, when Vladimir inspected the canteen, stopped him, asked him for 3 rubles, and ate a full meal.
This is the only thing Vladimir does for his daughter. For he believed that human beings would eventually destroy all private characteristics, and that the family was also a product of this decay to be eliminated, and that there was no need for the family in the excesses they were to establish. Children are not raised by families, but by specialized institutions, and just like the standard products produced by industry, children are educated from an early age and become part of a collective, without any concept of private ownership.
Revolutionaries are not without personal interests, personal affairs, personal feelings, personal romances and personal property, and they should not even have names, this group of people is really great.
The most important thing is to be ruthless enough.
For the sake of their ideals, they disregard everything, including the lives of others, even theirs.
In the eyes of later generations of Russians, this was a group of madmen, and Pukgeb hated this very much, believing that the Tsar's relinquishment of power was the most irresponsible behavior, which was to throw power on the ground casually and let a group of madmen pick it up.
"Once the Tsar's army returns to Europe again, a civil war will surely break out!"
Yang Chao said secretly in his heart.
He remembered that the civil war in Russia had killed 8 million people, comparable to the death of the Tsar in World War I, and that the group of ruffians who did not want to fight overthrew the Tsar, only to fight a more brutal war.
In World War I, the tsar finally mobilized 145 million troops, and finally killed 70%, plus the casualties of the civil war, more than 10 million people died, for Russia's 170 million people, only a minority, but most of the deaths were young and middle-aged, which made Russia not recover after decades.
However, due to the change of Yang Chao, the decline of Russia's population may not be able to be stopped by more than 10 million.
For the large number of civilian casualties, Yang Chao found that he actually developed a strong sense of compassion.
"My heart is not as hard as those guys who can't eat at the bottom."
Although Yang Chao was not from a wealthy family, he had never been hungry, so there was naturally more compassion in human nature.
"Send a telegram to the Tsar, in my name. Persuade them that if they re-enter Europe, it will lead to a terrible civil war. There will be countless casualties, tell the Tsar that if he wants to stay in Siberia, we guarantee that Soviet Russia will not invade it. ”
Yang Chao's good intentions of the tsarist government did not hesitate to refuse, they are full of hatred, anger in the situation, it is impossible to be reasonable, they only hope that China can provide them with support, they need arms, food, all the consumption of war.
"Well, if the tsar insists, we are willing to support."
Yang Chao sighed, he knew that Russia's worst civil war was inevitable. (To be continued.) )
