Wang Huaigang had read the intelligence and analysis of the bourgeois-democratic revolution in Russia in 1905 within the Investigation Bureau, and behind that revolution there were a large number of Japanese shadows, and the Cloth School was funded by the Japanese to be able to launch an unsuccessful revolution. But this was enough for the Japanese, and this turmoil turned Nicholas II's energy more inland, and if China had not joined halfway, the Russians would have signed a defeated treaty with Japan!

Now that the Japanese had withdrawn from Russia and been taken over by the Chinese state, the Bureau of Investigation secretly contacted the armed forces of Yanov, who had been in exile in Western Europe, and promised to finance him in order to overthrow the rotten Tsarist dynasty.

Both sides have the same interests, each takes what it needs, and then hits it off. Armed forces Yanov led some of his subordinates to Huaguo, and used Shenyang as a base to remotely command the comrades in the country.

Wang Huaigang took out a document and said solemnly to the armed Yanov: "I agree that there are huge common interests between us, and I also hope to see the friendship between the Slavic nation and the Chinese nation, but there are some things that have to be made clear. Since 1906, we have sheltered at least 150 people, provided you with safe hiding places, comfortable living conditions, and even provided you with high-power radio stations. ”

"In addition, we have provided financial assistance of 150,000 Chinese dollars to your organization in Russia, and secretly provided you with 3,000 guns and 1 million rounds of ammunition through the port of Manchuria, as well as countless other grenades and explosives. The Bureau of Investigation's presence in Russia has been of great help to your organization, and on at least thirty occasions has allowed your organization's personnel to escape the pursuit of the Russian secret police. ”

"I don't say this to show off, and I don't want to get your gratitude, we just hope that both sides can abide by their duties and do what they have to do, instead of secretly stabbing Huaguo who selflessly helps you."

Feeling the seriousness of the matter, Yanov stood up and said sincerely: "I don't know where we have caused the dissatisfaction of your country, please tell Stationmaster Wang frankly, if it is true, I will definitely stop this matter!" ”

Torosky, who was next to him, walked up to the force Yanov with some embarrassment, whispered a few words in his ear, and then saw the force Yanov furious: "You are betraying the organization!" ”

Lord Steel hurriedly came over and waved his hand at the armed force Yanov, meaning that there are internal contradictions that can be dealt with afterwards, and do not expose the family scandal in front of the Chinese people.

"No!" Forceful Yanov waved his hand: "If there is anything, let's make it clear in front of Stationmaster Wang, Comrade Torosky, please tell everyone, why are you hiding this matter from me, do you know how much damage it will cause to our cause?" Do you know the cooperation between the sabotage group and China this time? Why did they send people to contact Chen Zhongpu and others in Huaguo to incite Huaguo workers to make trouble without authorization? ”

Torosky frowned and explained: "We only provided some books and works to the Chinese organization led by Chen Zhongpu, and there was not much communication between the two sides, and I also knew that this would undermine the overall situation of cooperation between the two sides, and of course it would not be so short-sighted." ”

"Is that so? So the problems that arise among the workers in China are all caused by their organizations and have nothing to do with us? ”

"I'm afraid so!"

Forceful Yanov calmed down his anger and said to Wang Huaigang with a smile: "I'm very sorry, Stationmaster Wang, although our personnel have made a little inappropriate move, it turns out that those incidents should be the actions of the Huaguo organization itself, and they have little to do with us. ”

Wang Huaigang's face was expressionless, but his heart was turbulent, as a former criminal police captain, he had not yet felt the inside story of international exchanges, and at this time he deeply admired the cheekiness of the armed forces Yanov.

"If this is the case, we can rest assured, since you have nothing to do with them, then our government will launch a powerful clean-up operation to remove these moths that destroy the country's economic construction!"

After Wang Huaigang and the others left, the force of Yanov and the others showed helpless expressions, and the steel lord even smashed his fist on the wall in annoyance: "In this way, our efforts to create a branch in China will come to naught, compared to this, the conditions for the movement in China are better than in Russia, and their workers have accumulated a lot of dissatisfaction, and the number is extremely large, once it is organized, it is an unstoppable force." ”

Forceful Yanov was also helpless: "I didn't expect Huaguo's reaction to be so fast and big, the overall situation is important, and Huaguo's affairs can only be put aside first, it's a pity that Chen Zhongpu and other outstanding comrades are gone." ”

"It is necessary to speed up the revolutionary process, to completely overthrow the feudal rule of Tsarist Russia, and to establish a thorough workers' regime. Only in this way can we get rid of the control of China, strengthen our own country, and then spread the red revolution to the whole world and realize our revolutionary ideals! Torosky's words were echoed by several people, who left the hotel and went to the secret stronghold of the Cloth Pai in Shenyang, where there were more than 30 comrades and, crucially, a high-power radio station. It was from there that the armed forces of Yanov and others remotely commanded the revolutionary struggle in the country.

St. Petersburg in the summer of 1909 was a little less chilly than other seasons, and the city was enlivened by the increasing number of cars on the streets, the crowds of people coming and going in the buildings, and the smoke from the chimneys of the factories on the outskirts of the city.

After the end of the Russo-Japanese War in 1906, the Russians barely managed to achieve a victorious ending with the help of China, although the losses were large, but they were enough to make Nicholas II breathe a sigh of relief. Later, Nicholas II made another wrong move, he sent people to participate in the war of the anti-Chinese alliance, and all the nearly 100,000 soldiers assembled in the Far East were lost in China, including the northeast region, which was vital to Tsarist Russia.

With the loss of the coveted Far Eastern access to the sea, the loss of rights and interests in Manchuria, the loss of the right of way of the Eastern Railway, the cessation of infiltration into Mongolia, and the expansion of Tsarist Russia in the Far East seemed to have returned to decades ago overnight.

The situation at home was even worse, with war expenditures, economic weakness, agricultural failures, huge foreign debts, extreme corruption, and so on, tormenting Nicholas II's nerves, and revolutionary activities tended to be irrepressible. The reign of the Romanov dynasty was shaky, and everyone thought that the dynasty was at the end of its rope and was just waiting for time to fall.

Unexpectedly, the turnaround soon appeared, the price of oil rose rapidly, and the Baku oil field on the coast of the Caspian Sea became the largest oil production base in the European region. The Russian government, together with the British and French consortiums, has increased investment in the Baku oil field, expanded the scale of the oil field, and built more and more complete supporting facilities.

A large amount of crude oil is continuously transported to Europe through railways, nourishing the industries of developed European countries such as Germany, France, and the United Kingdom. In 1907, nearly half of Europe's crude oil came from the Baku oil fields, and the rest was filled by Romanian oil fields and American oil. With this windfall income, Tsarist Russia not only had the ability to repay Europe's foreign debts, but also had a large surplus to improve the domestic economic environment, and to promote domestic reforms.

When the Tyumen oil fields invested in the exploration and development of China began to produce oil in October 1907, Russia's finances quickly became full. After obtaining permission from the Russian government, the Huaguo geological exploration team entered the western Siberian region for exploration, and soon found an oil-producing area, but the initial exploration report did not attract the attention of the Russian government, because it indicated that the recoverable reserves here were only 10 million tons, and it was not suitable for large-scale mining when considering the input cost and the permafrost and weather of Western Siberia.

As a result, the Huaguo Petroleum Group submitted an application to the Tsarist government for exploitation, which was approved, and the oil group owned 90 percent of the shares in the Tyumen oil fields, and the remaining 10 percent belonged to the Tsarist government. It was only as the Tyumen oil fields began to produce oil, and the Russian oil officials began to regret that the reserves and production of the Tyumen oil fields exceeded the original exploration report by several times.

After the Chinese side was forced to agree, Russia and the British Petroleum Company invested a large amount of money to offset the huge shares of China. With the participation of international forces, coupled with the fact that it was completely in Russia, the Huaguo oil group had no choice but to compromise, and the final division of shares was 60 percent owned by China, 30 percent owned by the Russian government, and 10 percent owned by BP.

Most of the crude oil from the Tyumen oil fields was transported to China through the Trans-Siberian Railway, especially after the construction of the Northeast Railway network to Manchuria, and the integration of the Trans-Siberian Railway in Russia, the efficiency of oil transportation was greatly increased. In the face of massive wealth, the Russians completely ignored the railway merger, which was a matter of national defense and security. Railways with the same regulations make it very easy to merge rails and greatly increase the efficiency of transportation between the two countries.

The Trans-Siberian Railway was profitable for the first time after its completion, and the railway was given more economic roles than the full political and military needs it had before. The non-stop oil transportation day and night allowed the railway department to eat enough oil and water, and larger commodities were also transported from China to the European part of Tsarist Russia, from mechanical products such as automobiles, to primary industrial products such as cotton cloth and synthetic rubber, and then to grain such as corn and wheat.
