Chapter 152: Now, we need to wait
or 3G -
"In 1473, Ivan III, Grand Duke of Moscow, married the Byzantine princess Sophia? Palaiorog, 26 years later, the double-headed eagle coat of arms of the Byzantine Empire was officially used for the Russian state seal, and Russia's self-positioning as the "Third Rome" was laid, and from that day on, "West" and "East" became the two contradictory souls in Russia's national strategy, and directly affected the relationship between Russia and Europe. This country is the true inheritor of European civilization and deserves to share the same fate and life and death with Europe. Free Fiction Network
Since Peter the Great, the Romanvians have been the goal of the Romanvs to get the great ship of Russia into the shipping lanes of the European powers, and in 1814 Russia under Alexander I came close to this goal, but the illusion was shattered by the crushing defeat of the Crimean War, and Alexan II was forced to start a new process of reform that would bring Russia into deeper ties with Europe.
In 1861, after Alexan II ordered the emancipation of serfs, Russia began to falter towards capitalism, the industrial bourgeoisie developed slowly but irreversibly, and the peasants also left the land in the countryside and became dispossessed proletarians. Baku and other important industrial centers, which gave rise to more than 150 monopolies. The Russian bourgeoisie, nourished by French finance capital, demanded a larger domestic market, support for political expansion and access to the aristocratic chambers. The "European" intellectuals despised these nouveau riche with their pretentious condescension, but they also reverently acknowledged that their demands would help build a better society.
"Russians of our generation and future will know how to be a real Russian".
Then, not everyone wants to see these sights. To the right of the western head of the eagle on both sides, the eastern head belonging to the Tsar, the Eastern Church and the 1.3 billion Russian peasants stood outside the Europeanized cáo stream, and Article 1 of the Fundamental Law of the Russian Empire, promulgated in 1892, states that "the All-Russian Emperor is a monarch with unlimited power, and God has given him supreme power: the people must obey him on the basis of conscience and reverence." ”
The monarch of the "Third Rome" closed the modern state system with such a declaration, and in the face of the turbulent revolution and the intricacies of interests, the tsar would make some concessions, but as soon as the wind calmed down, he reverted to the old ways. This is not so much a deception as a trap - from Alexander III to Nicholas II, the monarchs of the Romanfu dynasty did not find the "node" to connect the ancient and fragile tsarist system with the modern state, and they involuntarily became "actors" and other figures. Sometimes he pretends to be the parent of the people who is generous, and sometimes he claims to be the backing of the enterprising reform, hoping to pass the test safely.
It is a pity that history did not give them a chance to pass the test, 1905. Russia followed the lead of the Qing Empire a decade earlier, when it was defeated by a small country across the sea, followed by a violent revolution not seen since the founding of the Romanfu dynasty. "The national pride of the big and small bourgeoisie is insulted, and the pride of the army is jīang. The grief over the loss of hundreds of thousands of young lives in a senseless military adventure, the financial bankruptcy and the protracted economic crisis that war inevitably causes. Fear of a terrible revolution...... Cause everyone to rise up against the system. ”…,
From January to October 1905, there were more than 2,700 uprisings in Russia. Factory strikes, railroad stoppages, the burning of countless landlords' estates in the countryside, national uprisings in Finland, Bōland, the Caucasus, and the first Soviets in St. Petersburg, Moscow, and other cities, the accusations were directed from the bureaucracy around the tsar to Nicholas II and the tsarism itself.
The defeat of 1905 was a turning point, and from that moment on, the two heads of the double-headed eagle took a strange twist, and when the emperor and Stolypin once again put on the cloak of "innovation" and began a "new Alexander II reform" that destroyed the traditional communes, introduced the agrarian schy, and exacerbated the divide between the rich and the poor, the people finally remembered the seeds sown by the once neglected populists of the 1860s, which the political dervishes had declared that "Russia should follow the path of modernization of the East". The most powerful force lies in this Russian trinity, the "morality of the people of the land", these religious leaders who declared themselves to lead the Russian people out of Egypt and across the Red Sea, and finally established an earthly heaven in Russia after crossing the ruins of dictatorship, exploitation, and inequality that had been burned by the fires of change.
The Narodniks' successors in jīng, the liberals of the Cadet Party, the Socialist-Revolutionaries who advocated the peasant revolution, and the Bolsheviks and Mensheviks, rushed to play the role of revolutionary prophets and play the dangerous game of creating a new "god" - the people. Even Nicholas II, the cowardly and humble "little daddy", declared in 1914 that he would fight for the "Russian land"!
"Clever people like Lunacharsky, Bazarov, Gorky, etc., know that words can't do bad things, so they plan to borrow the word God, but the people who have nothing to say in this game may believe that there is really a God or there is really no God, and then every word will do bad things", when the war violently suspended all the barely maintained daily order of the empire, Russia began to rush towards an irrepressible, "godless, nobody" avalanche revolution. By then, as has happened countless times in history, it will not be ink that will flow, but rivers of blood! ”
"The End of the Empire" Asia? Solzhenitsyn
"The victory of the revolution came so suddenly."
Far away in the conference room of the camp in Harbin, a joint intelligence meeting was being held. The intelligence officers from the Imperial Intelligence Bureau, the Imperial Investigation Bureau, the Intelligence Bureau of the General Staff Headquarters, and the Intelligence Bureau of the Foreign Ministry reported directly to His Majesty who was inspecting Heilongjiang, and the officials of the Imperial Intelligence Bureau, who were the intelligence leaders, were naturally responsible for the direct reporting.
As Deputy Director of the Imperial Intelligence Service. Wei Zihan naturally took on this responsibility.
"When the old order collapsed, the lag of human consciousness relative to historical change came to the fore: the republican system was a fact, the Octodians and the Cadets were still cautiously discussing the question of regency, and the Bolsheviks, Mensheviks and Socialists were puzzled by the outcome of the whole struggle."
Looking at His Majesty thoughtfully, Wei Zihan said in an extremely playful voice.
"Throughout Petrograd, and even throughout Russia, they are asking the question - have we taken power? Is it to whom is it given? Or do you want to do it yourself? ”
Chen Moran is no stranger to this point, the success of the February Revolution. Whether from the present point of view, or from a historical point of view, it is too fortuitous and incredible. Not even a "revolution" at all. As later generations have concluded, this "revolution" is not so much that people are pushing for the revolution, but rather that they are driven by the feelings of the revolution itself, and they can't help but haunt the wind. …,
This state of revolution is similar to China in another time and space. Well, China in 1911 was very similar, but the same was at best a "revolutionary state". As for the rest, it's completely different. After all, Russia fought an unprecedented victor after a few years of únlàn, civil war, in which the victor replaced everything with bayonets and might. In China, the compromise of the revolution, the unwilling compromise of the north and the south, in exchange for many years of war, which lasted for more than ten years, finally dragged down the country, history ...... It's always so funny.
“…… In the rotunda on the top floor of the Tavlida Palace, Rodencko and his colleagues watched in amazement as bonfires lit up in the streets and ragged people sang and danced against the backdrop of smashed double-headed eagle signs and looted shops. Soldiers from different units lay on the side of the road wrapped in dirty uniforms, while criminal prisoners who were full of evil also escaped from prison with political prisoners and began to make a fuss, some of them hanging their heads and being escorted through the streets by soldiers and workers with rifles, including former Home Secretary Alexander ? Protov, Minister of Court Affairs Nikolai? Stolypin, Minister of War at the time of the Russo-Japanese War, former military governor of Turkestan, Colonel-General Kuropatkin, and the general secretary of the Orthodox Holy Episcopal Synod, in short, were former rulers, as well as a large number of former police officers and spies. Most of the bigwigs were then spared execution, but in this case, they were all so terrified that they did not even dare to stop without permission, and more unknown military and police gendarmes disappeared from the world, and their fate was unknown and no one cared about. ”
Referring to the fate of these military and police gendarmes, these intelligence officers from various ministries could not help but feel a little sorrow in their hearts for their colleagues, and likewise, their plight, as a warning, reminded them that if they did not decisively quell any "revolutionary breath" that took place in the country, then it would not only be the empire that would be swallowed up, but also themselves, each of whom was closely bound to the empire.
On March 14, the Petrograd Soviet Executive Committee, under the chairmanship of the Menshevik representative Sukhanv, passed the famous "Soviet Decree No. 1", which ordered all units of the Russian army, the army to rise up from the company-level units, including the baggage depots, artillery companies, cavalry companies, and garrison organs, and the navy to immediately elect representatives from among the rank-and-file personnel to form soldiers' committees to be responsible for all political activities of their units, all weapons were in the hands of soldiers' councils, the hierarchical differences between officers and soldiers - the ranks were abolished, soldiers who were not in official service could enjoy political and social rights equivalent to those of citizens of the cities, and the orders of officers could only take effect if they did not contradict the decisions of the Soviets, and it was clear that "Decree No. 1" was consistent with the direct democratic nature of the Soviets themselves, and of course its aim was to wrest power from the officer corps. ”
Hierarchy is the basis for the survival and maintenance of order in the army, and without a hierarchical rank system, the army as a violent group would get out of control, and it is precisely because they have witnessed what is happening in Russia that they realize why. As early as the establishment of the Liberation Army, His Majesty blindly emphasized officers, military ranks, and soldiers' absolute obedience to officers. A soldier is just a soldier, and the officer and officer system are the soul of the army.
Now, Decree No. 1 is like a "gas bomb", with as many as 9 million copies printed and distributed, and it has caused an unprecedented sāolàn on the front lines, where soldiers have been fighting desperately for the past two and a half years under the slogan "For the Tsar and the Fatherland". There is no hope, no food, only a little obedience to the hierarchical order and formal laws that have been formed over time, when the "gas bomb" that completely abolishes all established laws and shackles but fails to give it a new goal and direction is detonated. Far from an idyllic democratic paradise, it was a completely free anarcho-fǔism and, more importantly, a gun in the hands of the soldiers. ”…,
Shaking his head, as an intelligence officer of the Directorate of Military Intelligence. Chen Youguo, who is well aware of the harm caused by the army once it gets out of control, admires the "naivety" of those Russians in his heart, and their order disintegrates the army, but how long does it take to rebuild the army? And at what cost? Apparently. Those people don't think about these issues at all.
"In Helsingfors, the headquarters of the Sea Fleet in Bōro, a few days earlier a telegram had been sent to Commander Nepenin, who had asked the Tsar to abdicate, to refuse to swear allegiance to the Soviets. So he was killed on the spot by the sailors, and the sailors' committee then launched a purge of the "royalists". Eighty-eight officers, warrant officers and enlisted men were shot or stabbed to death at the fleet headquarters, and at the Kronstadt naval base near Petrograd, three admirals and 78 officers were taken by revolutionary sailors to a small hillside and then executed en masse, and the revolutionary island of Kronstadt became a kingdom. ”
Listening to Chen Youguo's narration, Chen Moran didn't say a word, his expression was very calm, for all this, he had already prepared, and even looked forward to all this, this revolution will destroy everything in Russia, only after everything in Russia is destroyed, that plan can be implemented, this kind of únlàn, this kind of massacre, are all what he needs, and they are all in line with China's future interests.
The massacre of the officers was only the first in a series of consequences of Decree No. 1, and after the purge of the officers, the soldiers' council saw the power of the guns, and these Qiuba, who had no intention of continuing the war and had little enthusiasm for the "democracy" that could not fill their bellies, began to loot the estates of the landlords, initially limited to ownerless assets, and soon turned into blatant murder and arson! ”
It is inevitable that there will be a thing, and no one in this room will doubt this, they only report on the development of the situation in Russia, but at the time of the report, these contents are enough to keep each and every one of them vigilant, and it is for this reason that the intelligence agencies have repeatedly issued warnings to be vigilant against the Russian revolution, and they are afraid, and they are also afraid that the Russian revolution will go to China.
It is for this reason that, at the strong request of the Imperial Bureau of Investigation, the Ministry of Railway Transport suspended transportation to Russia, and in the border areas, it strengthened its defenses, and at the same time, the Military Intelligence Bureau began to strengthen its understanding of the dynamics of the soldiers, so as to avoid the influence of China, especially the army, from the "Russian Violence".
"And with the permission of the soldiers' council, the Russian team began to abandon the front line regiment by regiment and flee to the rear, deserters with weapons in hand, troops pouring out from recruitment stations and barracks to be transferred and refugees fleeing from the German-occupied areas, drunk people with guns everywhere, these rabble scolding and scolding "to go back and settle accounts with the landlords", "to take the guys in Petrograd into the trenches with bayonets", corresponding to the slogan of the imperial era "order, conservatism, law" has become swearing, From Petrograd to London, almost all Eurasian observers were shocked by this. They had never seen a great power fall into a state of collapse and statelessness so overnight, after all, it was far beyond their imagination! ”
More than they imagined?
Chen Youguo's words made Chen Moran smile coldly in his heart, now such a state of governmentlessness is beyond their imagination? Soon, in a few months, the upheaval in Russia will probably make them fall through their glasses, and those Russians will see for the first time what "bayonet is right", and at that time, I really don't know, what they will imagine.
"Your Majesty, now even the most advanced Soviet deputies have to admit that the state of governmentlessness cannot be maintained for long, and that there must be a new government in Russia during the critical period of the war, and the question is what kind of government to establish and how to give it authority among the revolutionary people."
When the liaison officer of the Intelligence Bureau of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs made a report, he deliberately glanced at His Majesty, these questions seemed to have nothing to do with China, but in fact, they had a certain relationship with China, after all...... Nasha? Romanf, Grand Duke Mikhail's nv has just gotten engaged to the crown prince!
"Your Majesty, in addition, according to the report of the embassy in Russia, we have lost contact with Grand Duke Mikhail, and just a few hours ago, the Provisional Council of Russia announced that Grand Duke Mikhail had abdicated...... So ......"
"Oh!"
Nodding, Chen Moran replied softly.
"I already know this! Now we need to wait for ...... "......)
