In the end, the old Chamberlain took a fancy to the Republic of Poland, which had not yet been recognized by the great powers at this time, Poland itself was the largest granary of Tsarist Russia, and ensuring its independence would make Germany lose its biggest prey, and at the same time, Poland's position happened to be stuck between Germany and Ukraine, even if the coalition forces defeated Ukraine, they could also send Ukraine to Poland along the water, as long as Germany could not get these two granaries, the increase in strength was limited, and the old Chamberlain thought that he could still control it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 In addition, even if the German government is dissatisfied and slackens its work, as long as it joins the anti-Soviet coalition, because East Prussia is very close to the East European Plain and the German army is strong, Soviet Russia will definitely still regard Germany as its greatest enemy......

The British government immediately recognized the legitimacy of the Republic of Poland and called on the powers of the "free world" to unite to eradicate the "tyranny" of the Bolsheviks.

Even the United States on the other side of the Atlantic and several hardcore pro-British and pro-American countries also symbolically sent some troops, thus increasing the total number of participating countries in the anti-Soviet coalition to 28. However, Russia's feud with the Ottoman Empire did not join, because at this time it was still competing with Italy for the future Libya, and Britain chose to stand on the side of Italy, which made it very dissatisfied, but this does not mean that the Turks will not send troops, after all, the territory is directly adjacent, once Soviet Russia is in danger, they will definitely not give up the opportunity to fall into the ground.

Before the establishment of the anti-Soviet alliance, the elder Chamberlain had already issued a new order to the combined Anglo-French fleet to change its destination to Poland, on the one hand, to send hundreds of thousands of Anglo-French troops ashore to strengthen Poland's defenses, and on the other hand, to help the Republic of Poland consolidate power and train its army. If the Polish army was still as vulnerable as before (not only was the southern route beaten by Budyonny, but the northern route army was also defeated by the Red Army, but most of them fled back in disarray, and the losses were not so great. Then old Chamberlain's plan will become a laughing stock.

In order to gain time, the elder Chamberlain also pretended to tell the Russian Soviet government that as long as the Soviet government continued to fulfill the treaties signed between the Tsarist government and the Western powers, and continued to repay the debts owed by the Tsarist government and enterprises, then the West could also consider recognizing its legitimacy.

However, the mentor's cunning is only above the old Chamberlain, who now also needs time to consolidate power, especially to repair the railway and other transportation facilities that were seriously damaged in the civil war, and most of the Red Army also needs time to strengthen training and political education, so he did not immediately refuse, and even privately met with the British ambassador who still remained in St. Petersburg and said that Russia is now poor and the people are poor, and he hopes that the British government can take the lead in forgiving part of the debt, or postpone the repayment period, but the Soviet Russian Red Army "restores the old frontier" The action did not stop at all......

By the beginning of July 1909, the Russian Red Army had "liberated" the Baltic tri-ethnic areas, Bessarabia (all of present-day Moldova and part of Ukraine), the South Caucasus, Finland and Poland, and restored almost all the territory of the European part of Imperial Russia.

The situation in Finland is particularly worth mentioning, although the population is not large, but the important geographical location of Finland still attracted the attention of the old Chamberlain, but Finland is located in the cold zone, and is the world-famous "country of a thousand lakes", the territory is full of lakes and marshes and forests, it is not easy to conquer, plus the Finns finally declared independence after the liberation of St. Petersburg, the time gap is too short, the old Chamberlain was not able to send enough reinforcements at the first time. Unexpectedly, the commander and political commissar of the First Front of Soviet Russia, Frunze, actually took the risk of sending tens of thousands of elite soldiers to attack Helsinki under the escort of the Baltic Fleet that had just revolted......

As for the "father of the nation" in Finnish history, Carl Gustav Emil Mannerheim, after being captured as a Russian officer in the Three Kingdoms War, he was purged from the Chinese prisoner of war camps because of his obvious hostility to communism......

For a small country like Finland, with or without a wise leader, the trajectory of the country can often be very different. What's more, in this time and space, the strength of Soviet Russia is more than ten times stronger than that of the same period in history? Not counting the tens of thousands of elite soldiers who attacked Helsinki, the main force that crossed the Karelian Isthmus head-on alone exceeded 200,000, compared with the historical Bolsheviks who were unable to even get the White Army at home, and Finland could only rely mainly on the local Red Guards, the strength was too strong, even if Mannerheim did not die, I am afraid that it would still be powerless.

Frunze's First Front did not continue its offensive against neighboring Sweden after occupying Finland, not because the mentor did not want to liberate all of Northern Europe and promote his own ideal of a "world revolution", but because he had to make such a rational decision out of practical considerations. The three Nordic countries are all vast and sparsely populated, and the limited population is concentrated in the coastal zone, and the land is full of forests, lakes and swamps, not to mention the infrastructure, and the infrastructure is also very bad. As for transporting troops by sea, the strength of the Soviet-Russian Baltic Fleet is only a fraction of that of the British Royal Navy, and the combined Anglo-French fleet is not far from Poland.

Besides, at this time, the mentor was still fooling the British to buy time, and naturally he could not commit a bad act that seriously violated the diplomatic norms of the Western world, so Sweden, which had never been Russian territory, should not be attacked until Soviet Russia was strong enough to completely ignore international law like China.

Even Poland, which had been Russian territory for many years, ordered Budyonny's cavalry front to suspend its offensive after the British government publicly assured it of independence, but even then this hypocritical peace did not last long......
