Chapter 482: The Great Reversal (I)

Of course, there are artillery and mortars on the side of the coalition forces, but on such a long front, it is really difficult to cover everything, and once the Soviet Russian Red Army completes the breakthrough in the local area, the horror of the "crowd tactics" will immediately appear, just like a flood overflowing, even those positions that can still hold on and not lose have unconsciously become isolated islands, and they are surrounded and annihilated by the strong Soviet Russian Red Army without any suspense.

In just one week, most of the more than 600,000 troops on the southern route were annihilated, but Brusilov did not have the intention of taking even the slightest good thing, under his order, the Russian army on the southern front with high morale unceremoniously counterattacked and invaded the territory of Austria-Hungary and Romania, and the hastily organized resistance of the two armies was like an egg hitting a stone, and was smashed by the sea of people all over the mountains......

A month later, the total number of killed and captured troops on the Southern Front had exceeded 1 million, Brusilov's army had penetrated more than 200 kilometers into the territory of Austria-Hungary, and Romania, which was small and weak, was even more devastated. The panicked flight of the Romanian king allowed the Romanian revolution to quickly triumph, and the political power was quickly erected, and with the cooperation of the Russian Red Army, the revolution has never been so easy......

The capitalist powers of the West united to intervene in the Russian Revolution, and when the situation was so good, they suddenly took a sharp turn and suffered losses, and now a second Soviet state was born, and the whole Western world was terrified. At this time, left-wing organizations in various countries that were marching and striking to put pressure on their own governments suddenly became the target of public criticism, and were soon brutally suppressed by the state violent apparatus.

In just a few months, many prominent leftists and workers who participated in the movement were arrested and even killed, and in many countries there were even various measures similar to the "McCarthyism" of the United States after World War II......

In the final analysis, most of the Western European powers were advanced countries that had completed industrialization, and their bourgeois power was already very strong, far from being comparable to that of Tsarist Russia at the beginning (Note 1), and they did not experience the despair of not being able to survive, and the enthusiasm of the workers to participate in the revolution was certainly far less than that of their counterparts in Tsarist Russia, and there was no highly organized communist party and a wise and decisive leader to lead it (in fact, at this time, most of the countries in Western Europe did not even have communist parties, but only mixed social democratic parties, and their combat effectiveness was not zero). But certainly not even a fraction of the Russian Bolsheviks. It is simply impossible to replicate Russia's successful experience.

In fact, the teacher may not be unaware of this truth, but in order to preserve the only victorious victory of the proletarian revolution in Soviet Russia, he had to let those foreign comrades make sacrifices to help contain it. Moreover, although the White Terror caused unprecedented losses to the left-wing movements in Western countries, it also objectively played the effect of survival of the fittest, and those erroneous and unrealistic lines would inevitably push the political parties to a dead end in such a cruel environment, while those correct lines would stubbornly survive like a big wave and prepare ideologically for a real revolutionary upsurge in the future.

And if we proceed from the interests of the Bolsheviks in Soviet Russia, it will be even more beneficial than disadvantageous, because Russia's economy and culture have always lagged far behind the Western European countries, the status of the Bolsheviks in the European communist movement is actually not high, even after the first victory of the revolution, few left-wing organizations in European countries are willing to accept the leadership of the Bolsheviks, but now after such a wave of white terror, the strength of the left-wing organizations in various countries has been greatly weakened, and they have all realized the correctness of the Russian road in the face of cruel reality. The mentor's position as the leader of the world proletarian revolution has also been established, and after that, he will no longer make requests as a comrade, but can directly use the banner of the international communist movement to make a call, and even directly use a big hat to oppress others......

If it were not for the cooperation of the Bucharest uprising, no matter how successful Brusilov's offensive was, it would never have been possible to completely solve Romania, not to mention that the supply line stretched after penetrating deep into the enemy's territory was enough to turn the superiority of the Red Army on the southern front into a huge burden.

The reason why the Romanian revolution was successful was that Romania, like the three major ethnic groups of Soviet Russia, were Slavs, and their linguistic and cultural ties were relatively close, so the conflict was not as great as that of Western European countries, but the more important reason was that the offensive of the Soviet Russian Red Army dealt a heavy blow to the prestige and ruling base of the Romanian royal government, thus changing the balance of forces in its country. And this also made the mentor sure that even if the objective conditions of a country itself are not sufficient, as long as there is a strong enough external force to promote it, the proletarian revolution can still succeed......

It is also worth mentioning that it was not only Romania that broke out in the armed revolution, but also in Serbia and Montenegro, which had just been annexed by Austria-Hungary, and became an independent state from Austria-Hungary......

Note 1: The total amount of industry in Tsarist Russia is not low, but most of them are foreign-funded enterprises, that is to say, the bourgeoisie of Tsarist Russia has not yet fully grown, its working class has taken the lead in growing, and its strength has surpassed that of the weak Russian bourgeoisie, which is the main internal reason why the Russian Revolution in history will quickly transform from a bourgeois revolution to a proletarian revolution, and those advanced countries that were the first to complete industrialization are different, although the working class is stronger than Russia, But their bourgeois power far exceeded that of the Russian bourgeoisie, and the bourgeoisie was also an advanced class adapted to socialized mass production (relatively speaking), far from being comparable to the backward classes such as the aristocracy/landlords.
