469: Lenin
In a small house on the streets of Berlin, Germany, Lenin hurriedly entered the house from the street outside, looked inside the house, and slowly took off the hat on his head. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Germany can be said to be Lenin's stronghold, but it is not Lenin's only stronghold, ostensibly Berlin is the most active area of Lenin's activity, because it is the hometown of Marx and Engels, and it is the ideas of these two people that Lenin adopted. But the Germans were not friendly to Lenin either.
Even so, Lenin could not abandon Berlin, because of political necessity, but secretly, Lenin placed his main place of activity in Lithuania, which was closer to the Russian mainland, and in Finland in the west.
However, Lenin's recent life has not been easy, although Tsarist Russia has recently encountered a cold wave, whether it is military, economic, or political stability, Tsarist Russia has suffered serious challenges, which also makes Lenin feel that his opportunity has come again.
But because of the blockade and encirclement of European countries, Lenin was so disappointed that he could not get any support at all, and sought the support of Germany? This is not reliable at all, and Lenin will not even doubt that Germany will directly hand him over to Tsarist Russia?
The great opportunity is just around the corner, but Lenin has never been able to concentrate on overthrowing the Tsarist regime, and what he lacks most is funds and weapons and equipment, what faith can overcome everything, although Lenin shouted so to the outside world, but in fact he knows better than anyone that faith can indeed be transformed into combat effectiveness, but faith cannot directly make a rabble without combat effectiveness instantly become an army.
Faith will not become weapons and equipment, and it will become heavy food. Lenin was confident that he would not give the Bolsheviks a penny of military spending, but he could not do without money in his hands, and he could not let the troops eat on their faith, right? There's always a lot of money for the event, right?
When Lenin was at his wit's end, he was approached by a foreign friend of his, who offered to help him and wanted to meet Lenin.
"Mr. Nakata, I'm sorry, but the security outside has been too tight lately, so I have to be careful." As soon as Lenin entered the room, he hurriedly apologized.
"I can understand, Mr. Lenin, that we all need to be cautious in the near future." Nakata Junei smiled slightly, expressing understanding.
"Mr. Nakata, you sent me a message saying that you were willing to support the Bolsheviks' actions in Russia, is this true?" Lenin was also not subtle, and directly stated the theme of the meeting.
Lenin's prudence is far beyond everyone's expectations, although the influence of Tsarist Russia in Europe is not very good, but after all, it still has some influence, once it is targeted by the Tsarist people, Lenin is really finished, and this kind of caution allows Lenin to retreat after the failure of the first uprising.
Therefore, the meeting could not be too long, and Lenin had to seize all the time to discuss more important matters, rather than wasting precious time on booing and asking for warmth.
"Yes, the Empire of Japan is ready to fund you a million pounds for your activities, as well as five thousand Mauser 98A rifles, twenty Makqin heavy machine guns, 100,000 rifle bullets, and 60,000 machine gun bullets." Nakata nodded slowly.
"Oh?" Lenin suddenly rejoiced in his heart, a million pounds of money for the event, as well as 5,000 Mauser 98A rifles and twenty heavy machine guns, equipped with ammunition, although not much, but for Lenin, this was enough to call it innumerable ammunition.
But it was just a moment of joy, and Lenin calmed down, why did the Japanese fund themselves so generously? What is their purpose?
Lenin didn't think that the Japanese would be the kind of good people who like to help others, the greed of the Japanese is very clear to the whole world, and there are many countries in the world that hate the Japanese, and more importantly, there have been some contradictions between Japan and Russia, but because of the strong rise of the Chinese Empire, the two countries have not been able to communicate on land, so so far, no war broke out between the two sides.
The Mauser 98A rifle, if it had been placed in the past, Lenin would not have known what this rifle really looked like? Is it the latest rifle developed by the Mauser Arsenal.
But with the deepening of the Sino-Russian war, Lenin knew more and more about the front line, so he knew that the Mauser 98A rifle was not designed and produced by the Mauser Arsenal, but the latest model of the Chinese Empire itself based on the Mauser 1898 rifle, which was more suitable for East Asian races, and the coordination between the rifle and the body was redesigned, and if Lenin was supported, then there was no doubt that the choice of Mauser 1898 was the best choice.
Why didn't the Japanese choose a three-zero rifle that they could produce themselves? And to spend a lot of money to choose Mauser 98A? What does this mean?
Lenin had a faint feeling that Nakata seemed to be digging a hole for himself, as if as long as he agreed, it would be difficult to jump out again.
"Mr. Nakata, I am very grateful for your country's support and trust in the Bolsheviks, and if we accept this aid, what can we do for your country?" Lenin was still unclear about the purpose of the Japanese, but he could not delay it for a long time, so he decided to make a vague side knock, hoping to get the answer he wanted.
"You only need to do one thing, and this thing is really just a matter of words for you." Nakata Junying responded with a smile: "After the fall of Tsarist Russia, you need to immediately send people to contact the Chinese Empire, coordinate the armistice, and agree to all their conditions, and at the same time, on this basis, reverse the batch of industrial equipment required by the Chinese Empire to develop yourself." ”
"But in this case, Russia will also fall into passivity." Lenin frowned deeply, he understood the wishful thinking of the Japanese.
In the past, European countries were guarding against Russia, and at the same time against Germany, but now Russia is not working, but the Chinese Empire has risen. However, the recent performance of the Germans has been extremely active, so that the great powers have to turn their attention back to Europe, and the energy of East Asia has decreased, so the pressure on the Japanese has naturally increased.
The Japanese did this in the hope of creating a false impression that the Bolsheviks led by Lenin were overthrown by the Tsarist regime with the support of the Chinese Empire, so once Tsarist Russia fell and the Bolsheviks came to power, they would basically have secured this illusion, and if Lenin agreed to all the conditions of the Chinese Empire and asked them for industrial equipment in turn, then it would become a bargain, and the territory of Russia would be traded for industrial equipment.
Whatever the truth of this matter is, in the eyes of other powers, Russia will be on the side of the Chinese after making this step, and China and Russia will become allies, not enemies. In this case, then, it is only natural that the European powers will have to turn their energies back to Asia, and the pressure on the Japanese will also be sharply reduced.
But from the beginning to the end of this matter, the Germans did not exert any strength, but the Germans got the most benefits. Lying down and sleeping can really distract the great powers.
"I'm sorry Mr. Nakata, but I can't agree to this condition." Although Lenin was very concerned about this support, he could not agree to such a condition.
Once the agreement is announced, it will be difficult for the Bolsheviks to continue to survive in Russia, and they will lose three-quarters of their territory in one go. The Japanese paid nothing more than a million pounds and a few thousand rifles, which was a bit too heavy.
"Mr. Lenin, everything on the surface is only temporary, and it does not show the attitude in the heart, the important goal of the Bolsheviks in the short term is to stabilize the country and consolidate their own power, and the Bolsheviks simply do not have enough strength to confront the Chinese Empire. If you don't, it will be very difficult for the Chinese Empire to stop, and in less than a year, they have occupied more than half of Russia's territory, so can you guarantee that they will not occupy Moscow until you have completely stabilized Russia?
According to our Japanese intelligence, the Chinese Empire is secretly expanding its army, and it is expected that the total number of troops will reach 10 million in two years. At that time, on the one hand, they will continue to advance westward from the existing battlefield, and on the other hand, they will attack Kazakhstan from the Xinjiang region.
Although you have lost a lot of territory on the surface, you can get the greatest opportunity for development, grasp this opportunity, concentrate on development for a few years, and then, take the opportunity to join forces with the European powers to besiege the Chinese Empire, and then you can not only get back the territory you lost, but even get more land.
And now the shrinking of the territory is actually a good thing for you, which means that you can complete the preparation of a new country in a shorter time and consolidate your regime.
Think about how the founding emperor of the Chinese Empire rose, and now the Chinese Empire is so powerful that the whole world has to pay attention to them, but who would have thought that just a few years ago, they needed to be sneaky no matter what they did, for fear that others would find out and stop them? Nakata first pointed out the great relationship for Lenin, and finally used the Chinese Empire as an example to establish a positive image for Lenin.
Listening to Nakata's words, Lenin fell into deep contemplation, how could Lenin not study this powerful empire that had only suddenly risen in recent years? It can be said that Lenin has carefully studied all the famous powers in the world, but he admired the Chinese Empire. I fantasize that one day, I can lead the rise of Russia like the emperor of the Chinese Empire.
