The Russian bourgeoisie established a provisional government, while the Russian Revolutionary Party led the workers and soldiers in establishing their own leading body: the Council of Representatives. The bourgeoisie does not have any power in the Council of Representatives. The armament was also in the hands of the Congress of Workers' and Soldiers' Representatives. The Council of Delegates held the actual power, but there was a Provisional Government above them, the Bourgeois Provisional Government, so that when Tsar Nicholas II abdicated, there was a situation in Russia in which the two regimes of the Bourgeois Provisional Government and the Soldiers' Congress stood side by side.

In the congress of deputies, members of the Socialist-Revolutionaries were in the majority, a petty-bourgeois party, since the traditional prestige of the Socialist-Revolutionaries among the peasants was higher. They believed that Russia was still in the stage of the bourgeois-democratic revolution and that it was still necessary to carry out agrarian and democratic reforms in cooperation with the bourgeois Provisional Government. Thus they supported the Provisional Government. The Socialist-Revolutionaries came from the upper strata of the petty bourgeoisie, and they tended to follow the bourgeois Provisional Government. The workers and soldiers did not trust the Provisional Government, but trusted their leaders, whose authority rested on the support of the leaders of the Council of Representatives. Therefore, this phenomenon is also called dual regime, and the majority led by Vladimi is only a small part, and he himself has not yet returned to China.

On March 20, Wang Yaqiao reported to Xiao Zhenlei the news in Russia, "President, the current situation in Russia is very chaotic, and due to the bad impact of Stolypin's authoritarian privatization reform on Russian society, the October Party, the Progressive Party and other organizations that once supported the liberal liberal economy have obviously lost ground under the wave of the Russian Revolution. The Constitutional Democratic Party, the liberal left, became the only liberal party with a certain political appeal because it led the constitutional democratic movement before the revolution. In contrast, the two major leftist parties, the Social Revolutionaries and the Social Democratic Party, had a higher level of support in Russia at this time. As the war and the problem heat up. The various forces quickly divided and combined. The Social Democratic Party gradually split into a minority and a majority. The Social Revolutionaries were accordingly divided into mainstream and left. The mainstream and minority of the Socialist-Revolutionary Party agreed to continue the war until victory; The minority Left Social Revolutionaries agreed with the majority. It demanded an armistice and a peace treaty as soon as possible. All in all, Russia is particularly chaotic right now. This party, that party, this name all confused me.

In addition, there is a very serious matter, with the success of the revolution in St. Petersburg, after the Tsar announced his abdication, the revolution began in all cities of Russia, including the cities of our army in the east of the Ural Mountains, some Russian revolutionary parties incited workers and peasants to storm the local seat of the Tsarist government, and they also demanded the withdrawal of our troops from Tsarist Russia, and some even attacked our soldiers! For this case. None of our officers and soldiers of the army stationed there knew how to deal with it, after all, the attitude of the Russian Provisional Government towards the war was still unclear, so our officers and men did not dare to shoot when the attitude of the Russian Provisional Government was unclear."

Xiao Zhenlei waved his hand after hearing this, and Wang Yaqiao withdrew.

Obviously, the situation in Russia is very serious now, and those revolutionary parties are not only seizing power in various places, but also driving the Chinese troops stationed there out of Russia. His goal was to annex all of Siberia.

After smoking a cigarette, Xiao Zhenlei picked up the phone and said to his secretary Xiao Gao: "Convene a meeting between the president's staff group and Jiang Fangzhen, chief of the General Staff." In addition, General Cai Yi and General Cai Guodong were also notified to come over, and the meeting was scheduled to be held in an hour! ”

"Yes, President!"

An hour later, Xiao Zhenlei came to Conference Room No. 3. The members of the staff group, Jiang Fangzhen, Cai Guodong and Cai Ye have all arrived.

After Xiao Zhenlei came, everyone stood up, he walked to the main seat and sat down and pressed his hand down. Motioned for everyone to sit down. At this time, Jiang Fangzhen handed over a document and said: "President, this is the latest situation reported by our army troops stationed in the area east of the Ural Mountains in Russia. Since the Russian Revolutionary Party overthrew the Tsarist regime, revolutionary parties are now seizing local power all over Russia. The areas east of the Ural Mountains, where our troops are stationed, are also included, and those Russian revolutionary parties not only rob the institutions of power in Tsarist Russia, but also attack our garrisons, and if this situation is allowed to continue, the situation will be very unfavorable to our army. ”

Xiao Zhenlei took the document and looked at it, this is similar to the situation reported by Wang Yaqiao, it seems that the situation is already very serious, Xiao Zhenlei raised his head and said to everyone: "The purpose of gathering everyone today is how we should deal with the problem of the revolution in Russia, and what kind of attitude should we adopt?" Also, how to ensure the security of our Second Army Corps in the southwestern defense line of Russia, if the Russian Provisional Government or other Russian revolutionary organizations cut off the Far Eastern Railway, then the Second Army Corps would not be able to be resupplied and could probably collapse as a result, and what should we do in case of such a situation? Please share your opinions! ”

Liang Qichao was the first to speak: "President, I think that the attitude of the Russian Provisional Government towards Germany and Austria is still unclear, should we wait for them to announce whether they will continue to fight against Germany and Austria before making a decision?" ”

Yang Du shook his head and said: "President, I think that if according to what Mr. Liang said, it will be too late to wait for the Russian Provisional Government to make a statement, the current situation in Russia is that there are two political organizations, and the real power is in the hands of the soldiers' and workers' congresses, and the Provisional Government is maintained by the support of the leaders of the soldiers' and workers' congresses, so it is not the top of the Provisional Government who really speaks, but the leaders of the soldiers' and workers' congresses, who are the main leaders of the Russian Revolution." According to the report of the Iron and Blood Investigation Bureau, several of our garrison camps stationed in the area east of the Ural Mountains are surrounded by the people of the Russian Revolutionary Party, and if this situation continues, sooner or later the garrison camps will run out of food and cut off the water source! Even if the Russian Provisional Government declared that it would continue to fight against the Allies, I suspect that the Council of Workers' and Soldiers' Representatives, who held real power below it, would not necessarily buy it.

And as far as I know, the ideas spread by these Russian revolutionary parties are too dangerous, and all Western countries regard them as beasts of prey, and I think that our troops stationed there should resolutely suppress them, and they must not be allowed to continue to surround the barracks, but must disperse them, arrest their organizations and leaders, and punish them with capital punishment, and at the same time can cast a long line to catch a big fish, and wipe out all the Russian revolutionary parties in the Far East of the Ural Mountains under the control of our army, No activities of the Russian Revolutionary Party are allowed within the control of our army, and if one is caught and killed, it must not be tolerated! Because these people may well oppose our swallowing of Siberia in the future".

Tang Shaoyi said at this time: "This can't be, but the leader of the Russian Revolutionary Party, Vladimi, personally signed a document to return Siberia to our country and sold the Kazakh steppes to our country, do they dare to go against the will of their leader?" ”

Yang Du said coldly when he heard this: "Very, Mr. Tang, please make it clear that Vladimi is only the leader of the majority faction in the Russian Social Democratic Party, and now he is not in power, and others are still abroad and have not returned, besides, it is uncertain whether he can take power in the future, and he wants to rely on that empty letter to hold Russia hostage, I think it is very suspenseful, rather than pinning our hopes on others to abide by the agreement, it is better for us to actually control Siberia ourselves, and arrest and kill all those Russian revolutionary parties, Let the local Tsarist government officials submit to our country, and if they do not submit, they will all be killed, and support the officials who are willing to submit to our country to take charge, in view of the current situation, let them not hang our national flag for the time being, but they can no longer obey the orders of the Russian provisional government, and can only obey the orders of the generals of our local garrison.

Xiao Zhenlei still agreed with Yang Du's suggestion, he looked at the others and asked, "Do you have any other opinions?" ”

To Xiao Zhenlei's surprise, everyone agreed with Yang Du's opinion, so the matter was decided, Xiao Zhenlei instructed the General Staff to give orders to all the generals stationed in the east of the Ural Mountains in Russia to purge and arrest the Russian Revolutionary Party that organized the local people to make trouble, and ordered Wang Yaqiao's Iron and Blood Investigation Bureau to send intelligence officers and agents to cooperate. It also restrained the local population, and did not allow the local residents to harbor the Russian Revolutionary Party, and anyone who harbored the Russian Revolutionary Party or harbored those Russian Revolutionary Party would be caught and implicated in the whole family.

In addition to this decision, in order to prevent the Russian Revolutionary Party from sabotaging the supply lines of the Second Army Corps at the stage of the Far Eastern Railway, the General Staff also ordered that troops be transferred from garrisons along the route to protect the railway transport lines, and at the same time the Second Army Corps also transferred a part of the forces to protect the road transport lines from the Russian Southwestern Defense Line to Chelyabinsk, after all, it is too easy to destroy the railway transport lines, and one person can dismantle a section of railway tracks with a wrench.
