(This weekend, it's harder than going to work.) Ay! The problem is very strict, but the solution of the problem is even more urgent.

Due to the limited capacity of the state-level warehouses directly under the Soviet Union, most of the grain collected and stored by the state was stored in local warehouses other than the warehouses directly under the state. Only about 30 percent of the state's grain reserves are directly managed by state-level grain reserves, and the remaining 70 percent or so of the grain reserves are managed by local grain depots. After all, it is a big expense to collect it every year and send it down, and Lao Maozi now even has to cut military spending, so you can imagine how poor their finances are. The Poltava grain depot is one of the managed grain depots.

A quarter is 25%, but in fact, only 18%-20% is "evaporating" invisibly, but because the fighting in the Far East has transported a batch, and this incident occurred in the grain-producing areas, all localities are afraid that Moscow will be furious and collectively choose to cover up, delaying the best processing time, so the incident has escalated.

"Now we don't dare to sell flour at will." Said the staff of the Poltava flour mill.

In the past, when the market spot market was better, the situation of "difficult to get out of the warehouse" was only for the grain depot to collect some kickbacks, which was also a rule in the old Tsarist era, but since the civil war in Soviet Russia, this situation has rarely happened. However, this large-scale and long-term situation of "difficulty in leaving the warehouse" made some people smell a trace of unusual smell.

Due to the impact of the "difficulty in leaving the warehouse", the difference between the white market price of wheat and the black market price in the grain wholesale market in the Ukrainian region is as high as double the price per ton of wheat. Compared with the steady rise in wheat prices in the domestic market of the whole Soviet Union, the turnover rate of the black market of wheat in Soviet Russia is getting higher and higher, and the price is also getting higher and higher.

The white market price is low, but you can't get the goods; The black market price is high, but being able to get spot still makes many people rush to it.

After investigating the statistics of the Soviet Russian Grain Wholesale Market in early January 1922, the Ministry of Internal Affairs found that the turnover rate of wheat transactions in the Soviet Russian domestic grain wholesale market was the lowest 0.2%, and the highest was not more than 10%.

The problem of wheat shipments began to be reflected in bread and other items that could be intuitive to the citizens as time went by, and in the face of rising prices of bread and other foodstuffs day by day, the environment in Soviet Russia, which had just stabilized, fluctuated.

The paper couldn't hold the fire, and finally the gossip spread that the grain depot had been emptied. The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Soviet Russia immediately pulled out a few "culprits" and swept them away, "the responsibility for the difficulty of leaving the warehouse lies with these "moths", most of our grain depots are able to implement policies, obey management, and standardize operations, but a thorough investigation is being carried out in a short period of time, digging deep into these "pests", I guarantee that after a period of time, the problem can definitely be solved. A senior head of the grain industry held a press conference and made a statement to the outside world. With the intervention of the top level of the government, the surging public sentiment has temporarily stabilized. However, this is only a palliative rather than a cure, and the food problem has not yet been resolved.

"The Ministry of Internal Affairs can introduce measures to increase revenue to solve the problem of insufficient grain depots. Otherwise, according to the actual situation that has occurred at present, the implementation effect is obviously not ideal. An insider-informed economic professional told Moscow.

Moscow was very fast, and the next day it announced that it was preparing to promulgate the "Grain Law" to improve the "grain circulation management measures" that had previously been at the domestic legal level, and to solve the legal problems such as difficulties in leaving the warehouse. At the same time, a group of management officials of the grain depot were found again, and it was still a "pop", okay! There is no proof of death, who do you still ask?

Well? Still have comments? Then these muttering people must be foreign spies, White Russians who are plotting a conspiracy.

To deal with the White Russians was to send them to Siberia for hard labor. As a result, the surging public sentiment was "very good" soothed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Soviet Russia.

Of course, a quarter of the country's grain reserves have also become an unsolved case on the surface! Even those who are very few in the know will not be able to find trouble, and after a long time, this turmoil will be forgotten.

As for the army guarding the grain depot, there was also a personnel transfer, and more than 10,000 military and political cadres in the army were replaced, which was also ordered by Moscow. The army didn't even look at the food, what's the use of keeping you! With this excuse, which is not an excuse, Moscow has just implemented a program of cutting the army. The property originally intended to appease these soldiers with considerable military merits was gone, and they were all used to fill the food gap.

But the gap is still very large, what should I do? So the rich peasants of the Cossacks everywhere were washed again. As for whether these Cossack kulaks have an opinion, that is, it is not within the scope of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs is considering who is behind this incident, and it is impossible for such a large amount of food to disappear without a trace. Soon, the thoughtful personnel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs found clues, and a lot of grain suddenly appeared among the people in Turkey, and then its whereabouts were unknown, although the quantity was still not able to reach one-tenth of the grain lost by Soviet Russia, but the sudden emergence of so much grain was too coincidental in time.

It has always been the program of action of the Ministry of the Interior to kill mistakes rather than let them go. But they didn't expect that the Turks secretly formed a new army with 19 infantry divisions, 5 cavalry divisions, and 200,000 people for the sake of a big counteroffensive, and this army even evaded the ears and eyes of the British, the world's largest power at that time, not to mention the Soviet Russians!

So by mistake, the Russians decided that Kemal of Turkey was behind this time, and the purpose must have been to hoard grain.

Although the goals of Soviet Russia and Turkey were the same to deal with the Entente led by Britain, what Soviet Russia wanted was not only to drive away the interests of the Entente in Turkey, but to go further, and Istanbul and other places were also in the planning of Soviet Russia.

It is obviously not the style of the Russians to knock out their teeth and swallow the blood, so the Russians also played the cards in their hands.

One of the triumvirate of the Ottoman Empire of the First World War, the leader of the Young Turks, Enverpasha.

Kemal, who is now in full swing in Turkey, was previously his subordinate, but when the two organized a defensive battle outside Cyrenaica, the relationship was very unpleasant and tense.

In October 1918, the Ottoman Empire was defeated, and Enver Pasha went into exile in Germany. In 1919 he was sentenced to death in absentia by an Ottoman court, and in the same year he went into exile in Soviet Russia under the introduction of the German Communist Party. He was politically active, attempting to control the Anatolian National Resistance and compete with Kemal for leadership of the movement. At the most critical juncture of the motherland, the Battle of Sakaria, when the enemy army reached 50 kilometers outside Ankara, and the loya jirga discussed the relocation, many wanted him to return to replace Kemal's leadership. But after Kemal gained a foothold in the Battle of Sakaria, his influence and role were declining.

The Russians were actually interested in this prestigious and powerful Ottoman high-ranking official, but the Russians did not want to create opportunities for the British. But now that the grain depot was out of the matter, the Russians decided not to tolerate it anymore and sent people to escort it into Turkey and Kemal to seize power and establish a pro-Soviet Turkish government.

As for whether Turkey will fall to Britain, Soviet Russia is confident. The reason is that before the outbreak of World War I in 1914, the Ottoman Empire Mehmed V repeatedly pleaded for a permanent alliance with the British, but each time the British arrogantly refused. After the outbreak of the war, Turkey initially wanted to wait and see the shape of the country, but Britain and Russia signed a secret treaty, agreeing to the Russian occupation of Istanbul after the war, pushing Turkey to the side of the Germans.

Moreover, on the eve of Britain's declaration of war on Germany in 1914, Churchill, then British Secretary of the Admiralty, "requisitioned" two dreadnoughts belonging to Turkey for no reason, and did not mention compensation at all. Because in Churchill's eyes, the entire Ottoman Empire was not as important as these two warships.

But these two battleships were the most advanced dreadnoughts that Turkey ordered from Britain for $30 million in 1913, and in order to raise this huge amount, Turkey even took out the royal family's diamond crown as collateral.

The news of the confiscation of the two warships by Britain was a blow to the Turkish government, and Turkey hated the arrogant Britain and sided with Germany. In November, Anglo-Turkish war was declared, as a result of which the British fleet's access to the Black Sea was blocked. In 1915, Churchill launched the Battle of Gallipoli, which opened the Black Sea Strait, but he did not expect that the Turks, whom he had been ignoring, would resist desperately, and the whole battle turned into a massacre of British soldiers, for which the two sides formed a blood feud, and Churchill was disgraced and resigned.

But the tactics of the Russians, Turkey has long been on guard, not only the Russians have just made a move, but the Turks have also started their plan.

Kemal thought, don't you Soviet Russia just don't want us to have peace in Turkey, you just want us Turks to fight among themselves? Then I will also let you taste the bitter fruit of infighting.

Otherwise, they found Farrel Tucker's men again to help contact the cruise ship and send a group of people to Soviet Russia.

Who will give the Russians a headache?

Here we will introduce a baron, but although he has the same title as the three barons of Siberia, he is a dignified lieutenant general of the Russian infantry, and there is no comparison with the three nobodies.

Wrangel was a member of an old German baronial family. He was a top student of the Russian General Staff Academy, participated in the Russo-Japanese War and World War I, and served as a cavalry commander. Russia fled to Crimea after the Civil War.

In August 1918, he participated in the "Volunteer Army" formed by Denikin, and successively served as the commander of the cavalry division, the commander of the army, the commander of the White Guards in the Caucasus, and the commander of the "Volunteer Army". Due to a power struggle with Denikin, he was expelled from the country.

In April 1920, Denikin's White Guards were on the verge of collapse and, with the support of the Entente, succeeded Denikin as commander-in-chief of the Crimean "Russian army". In order to buy hearts and minds, Wrangel allowed his troops to openly rob and rape, allowing soldiers to "divide equally" the proceeds of robbery. He also often brought his captives to their companions for execution, and then made those who had seen the murder choose between joining the White Guards and being executed, a very old-fashioned and bloody practice. On November 28, 1920, Soviet Russian troops launched a general offensive on the Crimean Peninsula, the "old nest" of Wrangel's White Guards. In just a week, Wrangel's troops were forced to the Bay of Feodosia on the shores of the Black Sea. Escorted by the Allied fleet, Wrangel led 145,000 White Guards and their families to flee Turkey en masse by boat. This was the end of the civil war in Soviet Russia. Although they arrived in Turkey, Wrangel ordered all White Russians to keep their weapons and be ready to counterattack Soviet Russia at any time.

So for Soviet Russia, Wrangel was the most dangerous enemy abroad.
