In October 1902, the sky over St. Petersburg was gray, gloomy and cold. In St. Petersburg, Moscow and elsewhere, there was some confusion about the Soviets' newly announced plan to "postpone the constitutional elections," but in any case there was excitement about it, because for the first time, people in Russia saw the hope of "constitutionalism." Although this hope may seem a little distant - when the war at home ends and the country returns to stability.

What is a war in the country? Naturally, when the so-called "white bandits" stopped resisting, under the propaganda of some newspapers, some people believed that in the face of the strength of the Red Guards, the stubborn white bandits would stop resisting, and the Russian people would also be free, throwing themselves into a "constitutional election" that had never been seen before, and a new era would begin in Russia.

"We will devote all our strength to the liberation of Finland and the liberation of the Finnish people from the cruel rule of the Tsar!"

Ulyanov addressed the workers, at least, the leaders of the Soviets believed that it would not be difficult to do this, and they were confident in it, just as in less than a month they had to send a train with a group of workers-soldiers on board to liberate a city.

In just a few days, they "liberated" almost all of Russia - the victory of the revolution was decided in Petrograd, Moscow and other large cities, provinces, and the front accepted the events in St. Petersburg more and more calmly and peacefully, and of course there were some areas of recalcitrant loyalty to the Tsar or areas controlled by independents, such as Poland, Ukraine, etc., but these were not a problem now.

The conference room in the Tavlida Palace was brightly lit, and Trotsky, who was about to enter the Finnish campaign, stood there confidently greeting the People's Commissar of Defense Skryansky and others. The only one with a stiff face was Ulyanov, who was the chairman of the Soviets.

As soon as Trotsky was seen at the meeting, Ulyanov said:

"You've come just in time. Do you understand the danger of the situation on the Finnish side? ”

Trotsky nodded.

"Have you ever wondered how many shells you will need in the battles that may break out on the Karelian Isthmus and Lake Ladoga? What kind of artillery support is needed there? What can we expect from artillery? ”

After a moment's thought, Trotsky replied:

"I think it all depends on how the situation develops. Where and what troops were used? Also, how long is this campaign planned? ”

After a moment of contemplation, Ulyanov spoke.

"Ten to twelve days."

"If everything can be resolved in two to three months, I will be satisfied."

All the people around Trotsky laughed.

"Trotsky agreed,"

Uriyang said coldly.

"I command you to base all your estimates on the assumption that the entire campaign will be over in twelve days."

Then he looked up at the crowd and said.

"Now, whether Finland can be liberated or not is directly related to the future of the Soviets, do you think that we are now in power? No, now the biggest reactionary spiritual leaders are in Finland, they are plotting to extinguish the flames of revolution in Russia, and now, the Germans, the Austrians, they are all trying to interfere in our revolution, and if we cannot liberate Finland before they do it, then what awaits us will inevitably be defeat! ”

Ulyanov's words made everyone's brows frown, indeed, the situation was not as optimistic as they imagined, after the Tsar fled to Finland, the Finnish parliament expressed its support for it, as always, those damned Finns, even refused the "gift" that the Soviets would allow him to be independent after handing over the Tsar's party, but stood firmly behind the Tsar, stubbornly supporting the Tsar.

What is even more worrisome is the statement of Germany and Austria-Hungary that the two imperialist powers, under the contact of Witte, have decided to interfere in the revolution in Russia, and now, almost every hour, the revolutionaries are competing with the two imperialist powers!

We must get ahead of them and solve the Finnish problem! More precisely, it is the problem of the tsar, who is now a banner, a banner of reaction!

"Now, is there any response from the Chinese to our request?"

Again, after the conference on military deployment, Ulyanov looked at Litvinov beside him, and the whole Soviet was as young as them, and these young members of the committee rejected other "cowardly" revolutionaries.

The revolution needs help from the outside world, and it is precisely because of this that the revolution will succeed, and for Ulyanov, now help from China is more important than ever, the intervention of Germany and Austria-Hungary is likely to lead to the defeat of the Russian revolution, and for Ulyanov, for victory, he can cooperate with the devil, as for the Chinese, at least they are only distant relatives of the devil, as for the real devil, in Ulyanov's opinion, I am afraid that the tsar should be the best.

It is precisely for this reason that, after gaining China's support, in order to gain further support, he has already privately agreed to a demand - recognition of China's occupation of Russian territory.

"There was no formal response to our request, perhaps because they felt that our offer did not satisfy their demands, and that, according to our first negotiations with their consul in Sweden, they declared that since they had occupied those areas, there could be no more concessions, so it was meaningless whether we recognized their occupation or not!"

As a foreign affairs commissar, Litvinov was not a qualified diplomat for a large extent, at least for now, he was too young, and one of the most fundamental reasons why he became the People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs was because he had directly participated in meetings with Akashi and others, directly participated in cooperation with the Chinese, and of course, more importantly, he supported Ulyanov.

"Too few chips, huh?"

His brows furrowed slightly, and after a moment of thought, Ulyanov looked at Litvinov and said.

"Comrade Livinov, we can offer more favorable terms, of course, we need to know what they want, but I want you to know one thing clearly, that is, our regime has reached the most dangerous moment, therefore, we must do whatever it takes to get the support of the Chinese, and the support I am talking about is not just financial, if we can, perhaps, we can make an alliance with the Chinese and let the Chinese block the Germans and Austrians for us......"

Do whatever it takes!

This is the biggest difference between Ulyanov and others, for him, he has never cared about Russia, in fact, there is not a single Russian in this committee, they naturally do not care about the interests of Russia, they only care about the success of the revolution.

"If necessary, we can cede more land to them, in short, we need them to be involved in this war! Help us win! ”

"But, Comrade Ulyanov, you must know that if more land is ceded, it is very likely that it will lead to discontent from the party and from the people!"

Litvinov reminded softly.

"No!"

Shaking his head, Ulyanov said seriously.

"That's just some grievances, as long as we have an army, all the discontent from the reactionaries can be cleared, and as for opposition within the party, believe me, they care more about the success of the revolution than on Russian soil! As for convincing them ......"

After a moment of silence, Ulyanov suddenly showed a smile.

"We must realize that China is also a country with many internal problems, and when they become our allies, our comrades can go to their barracks to spread our ideas and ideas, and then turn them into our comrades, and when the Chinese army becomes our comrades, then, Comrade Livinov, we may plant the banner of revolution in the Far East, the working class has no motherland, you have to remember this! Now there may be Russia, there may be China, but when our revolution succeeds, then there will be only one name for the whole world, and that is the Soviet, and there will be no more distinction between countries! ”

“…… There is no Motherland! ”

In the hall of the Purple Mountain in Nanjing, which served as a temporary palace, Tang Haoran silently spit out a well-known sentence.

"Our Comrade Ulyanov once said that the real party members shed the blood of the Jews!"

This is also a mockery of history, because in some people's mouths, the so-called great cause of Russia was not started by a group of Russians, but by a group of oppressed foreigners, because those foreigners had no state, so they put forward the idea of "no homeland", and it was not the Russians who played the main role in the Russian Revolution, but the Jews.

At this time, the reason for this was very simple - the Soviet regime had made an attractive offer that could hardly be refused. On this basis, China not only received the "meat of the throat" that had already eaten into its mouth, but they also ceded the unoccupied parts of Western Siberia, the steppe satrapy, and the Turkestan satrapy, in other words, they gave up exactly all of Asia in exchange for China's support.

Of course, a more crucial reason is that for the current Russia, whether it is cold Siberia or the inhospitable and desolate Central Asian region, it can be abandoned, no, it should be said that in the eyes of those professional revolutionaries, they can be abandoned, after all, in another time and space, they have given up the richest land in Russia, so that they have lost 90% of the country's coal mining, 73% of iron ore, 54% of industry and 33% of the railway.

Although in another time and space, because of the defeat of Germany, the treaty became a piece of waste paper, and people seemed to use "far-sightedness" to describe the great man, but in fact, even the great man did not expect the defeat of Germany at that time, he only declared that in the future he would use the storm of revolution to sweep Europe, a temporary abandonment, in exchange for the survival of the regime, in the future they would use the revolution to sweep the whole world, that's all, if Germany had not lost, or if the First World War was just an ordinary armistice, those ceded lands would never have been recovered.

"That's why they're willing to sacrifice Russia's interests, because they're not Russians, so they're not thinking about Russia's interests first, they're not thinking about the regime's interests, so I don't think their conditions are deceptive!"

Because he understands history, Tang Haoran will hold an opposing view, this condition is impossible to refuse, but it is precisely because it is too rich that it will arouse vigilance, so that people doubt its authenticity. After all, it is impossible for anyone with the slightest patriotic heart to put forward such conditions and conclude such a treaty, ceding more than half of the country to the enemy who is at war with the motherland, and in exchange for helping them defeat their own country.

"Your Majesty, but such generous conditions will always make people doubt its authenticity!"

"No, you have to take into account the fact that the reason why they are offering this condition, in addition to the extremely dangerous situation they are facing, is more importantly, what is their real plan? In addition to using us to consolidate power, it is more important that, perhaps, they think, that when we have to get involved in this war in order to obtain guarantees for the implementation of the treaty, then our army will inevitably enter Russia, and then they will be able to agitate our soldiers, lobby our army, support their ideas, their revolution, and this will also create another possibility, ideas can be spread, but the idea that everyone is equal and gets according to need is also inflammatory, after all, Everyone wants to get something for nothing! Once this idea spreads, it is very likely that it will lead to the outbreak of revolutionary China, and according to the argument of "no fatherland", it is very likely that China will become an integral part of the world revolution in the future, or an integral part of the world revolutionary empire, in which case there will naturally be no cession! ”

His Majesty's words made Tang Zhaoyi's back break out in a cold sweat, and a revolution broke out in China? Could this be what the Russians are for?

"Your Majesty, does this mean that we should reject their conditions?"

To reject them, you must reject them, because these people harbor evil intentions, and this is just a sugar-coated intestinal poison!

"No!"

Shaking his head, Tang Haoran smiled coldly.

"Why reject them? Not only should we not refuse them, but we should also negotiate with them, we should go and ask for more land, reparations, after all, we have spent so much money and died so many people, it is impossible to just the ice fields of Siberia and the deserts of Central Asia, we need more ......"

"Your Majesty, why do you ...... like this?"

Without waiting for Tang Shaoyi to finish speaking, Tang Haoran sneered.

"Why not? This is a chance to come to your door! Don't forget that there are two Russias now! (To be continued.) )
