Chapter 1653: Chaos in St. Petersburg
When Stalin began to develop the revolution on a large scale in the central regions, and had already achieved phased results, he also sent nearly 100 reliable members of the party to St. Petersburg on a huge mission, accompanied by two high-ranking cadres, all of whom had been tested in many ways and were close to Stalin.

After all, 100 elite party members, they are loyal enough to Stalin, but their status is not high, most of them joined the Bolsheviks after entering China, only a very few joined the party before, but the general status is not high, let alone with the Bolshevik high-level in St. Petersburg, even between the high-level in ordinary areas, there is no contact, I am afraid that the high-level does not even know whether they are Bolsheviks or not.
Of course, these two high-ranking cadres are not the highest-ranking in addition to Stalin, and there are even higher-ranking cadres in Kazakhstan and even in China, but Stalin is not at ease with them. In the case of selfishness, it is the same to treat others, these people, who were only one or two levels behind Stalin before, in China and Kazakhstan, but they could not influence Stalin's ideas, from the original comrades, colleagues, to superiors and subordinates, or the superiors and subordinates who are firmly in their hands, this change in mentality has changed the mentality of these people.
In terms of Stalin's wrists, in Kazakhstan, these people can be controlled, surrounded by revolutionaries loyal to Stalin, plus the layers of tasks are arranged, they have no idea of resisting Stalin, but leaving Stalin's sight, going to St. Petersburg is different, they are all young people, their status in the party is not as good as Stalin's, but higher than this group of people, if they have other ideas, the ones Stalin sent to St. Petersburg are very likely to be overthrown by them, even if there are more than 100 elite and reliable forces, No, it doesn't.
Stalin, of course, did not want to, he painstakingly became the wedding dress of others, although he said that sitting on the huge population of Kazakhstan and the central region, he was tantamount to being invincible, but in terms of future development, he could go a little faster, and these people would not only have to contact the Party Central Committee, but also need to contact this side.
They shouldered a huge responsibility, on the one hand, to the Bolshevik leadership, to send funds and materials, on the other hand, to play a liaison role with this side, although China did not send high-power radios to the Bolsheviks, to them are the smallest, the maximum range of the call is about 400 kilometers, but Stalin spent effort, as long as 10, can establish a contact line of more than 4,000 kilometers, under the premise of no cable telegraph, this is already the best method, In this case, as long as this line is not cut off, it may take a day or two to send the information back to St. Petersburg.
Even under the premise of grasping the general situation, Stalin still longed for accurate news, without news, he could only hold back in Kazakhstan, once there was good news, he could quickly go to St. Petersburg, take control of the situation, and not miss the opportunity and waste time.
From Kazakhstan to St. Petersburg, almost through the east and west of the current Russia, of course, it is impossible for only more than 100 people to pass, among these people to choose, the first is reliable, and then personal ability, the military literacy is not high, in the current revolutionary flames, the whole of Russia is mixed under the premise, more than 100 people from Kazakhstan through Russia, this is a very dangerous thing, not to mention that they carry a large number of arms and dollars, which in the eyes of the robbers, are the best targets for plunder.
The reason why he brought these things, the former was to arm the Bolsheviks, even if Stalin had a different mind, he also hoped that the Bolsheviks would develop a little better in the upper echelons, as long as the Bolsheviks raised the banner, many of his actions could be done, enough to equip 1,500 people with arms, which could help the Bolsheviks have great power in the revolution, but not enough for the Bolsheviks to quickly control the situation.
As for the dollar, money can make the devil grind, this is universal, this part of the money is not much worth 5 million US dollars, this absolute number is a lot, but for the wealth in Stalin's hands, it is very worthless, from China, with the support of the vast number of Russian people, he has raised almost 1 billion US dollars of wealth, although most of it is used in the construction of Kazakhstan, even if it is casually missed, it is also tens of millions of dollars, not to mention after the construction is completed, Kazakhstan's GDP will increase tenfold, or even a hundredfold, compared to before, and the role of money for Stalin has been reduced to a minimum.
In order to protect these arms and wealth, Stalin sent 300 elite soldiers, these soldiers were carefully selected from tens of thousands of soldiers, not as good as China's professionally trained special forces, but compared with ordinary soldiers, one is no problem than three or four, and even 300 people form a military formation, and there is no problem against horse bandits and bandits who are more than 10 times larger.
Of course, it is impossible to resist the regular army, there are really tens of thousands of regular troops, 300 people even if they are superhuman, they can't resist, this group of people themselves is secretly going, even weapons or something, they will be put in the car, pretending to be a chamber of commerce, most of the armed personnel, just as a caravan escort, they were sent to Moscow, not only brought, but also brought enough weapons to arm a large number of people, as well as funds, of the 5 million dollars, 3 million are used to establish a fixed contact point, The remaining 2 million is for the Bolsheviks, although Stalin now has a very high vision, millions of dollars are not a problem, but he knows the days of the Bolsheviks, 2 million dollars is already good, it is really too much, it will kill him.
There was no fanfare, no one was alarmed, especially those in the upper echelons of the party, this part of the people, all of them were Stalin's most trusted elite forces, not only more than 400 people who went directly to St. Petersburg, but also nearly 500 people along the way, compared to St. Petersburg, the contact point on this line is much simpler, just buy a house in the city or village, and settle down, in order to ensure safety, Stalin chose all the locals, some of them left home to flee the famine, and some went to work in other places, Some joined the army, and at this time, the return of these people was the least noticeable.
St. Petersburg, as the capital of Russia, has been the most central region of Russia since hundreds of years ago, the center of politics and culture, and in recent days, Moscow has become a focal point, and at a time when the situation in Russia is so stormy, all kinds of careerists have emerged, they have propagandized, they have campaigned, they have agitated the people, and even some vested interests, capitalists and old aristocrats have joined in, making the situation chaotic.
In the end, by chance, the result of the intensification of contradictions, the revolution from below was born, but this time the revolution was started spontaneously by the workers and the masses, without the power of the parties in it, and even at this time, a large number of revolutionary leaders, including Lenin, did not finally return to Russia, and Germany's actions were still a step slower, although he encountered chaos in Russia, but he did not foresee that it would be so soon.
Prior to this, most of the turmoil was at the bottom, and there were some important cities, but there were few in St. Petersburg, but this time, it was just a simple expulsion, but it triggered the revolutionary masses to rise up, and with the joint efforts of the revolutionary masses and workers, as well as a small number of soldiers, in the end, the Tsar was successfully abdicated, and a phased victory was achieved, and a very strange scene appeared, that is, the coexistence of the workers' and peasants' and soldiers' Soviets and the bourgeoisie formed by the Provisional Government.
These two are completely opposites, but in the Russian revolution, in the end, they coexisted, and in history and now, they coexisted for almost 8 months, before they were overthrown by the October Revolution, if we say that the history was changed, Lenin returned not long after the outbreak of the revolution, and at the same time returned, there were leaders of other parties, at least more than 10 parties, plus the Workers' and Peasants' Soviets, the bourgeois Provisional Government, and all kinds of forces were mixed together, and among them there were commonalities and differences, The return of some parties, which is a battle of ideas, and some of which are bitter in blood, has not only not raised the revolutionary atmosphere, but has had a counterproductive effect, and the chaos is intensifying.
The power of the tsar and the great nobles was gradually preserved in such a situation, and some of the great nobles and military generals began to slowly control part of the forces and prepared to rebound, while at this moment, the bourgeois state Duma and Mensheviks, who dominated the revolution, did not realize that the danger was coming, they were all immersed in victory, and even after receiving some support from Britain and France, they also recognized the Entente as a part of the Entente and were ready to continue to participate in the European war.
At this point, as the high-level capitalists and Mensheviks did not realize it, they did not think that the reason why the revolution broke out was because the people's war-weariness had reached the limit under the high-pressure policy, and Russia's weak environment made it impossible for him to provide all the resources needed for the war, most of which needed to be imported, and after Baku, Russia's money bag, was taken by the German side, the Russian side had no water to breathe, let alone confront the powerful Germany, They thought that the generals in control of the army could do all this, but they did not know that when the order was sent to the front, a large number of soldiers fled, and a series of demonstrations took place in most cities throughout Russia.
