"October 7, morning. Nevsky Prospect is quiet and peaceful. The officials of St. Petersburg seemed to be at ease, and they sent a telegram to the tsar in the Tsars.

"The city is calming down."

But they apparently overlooked the fact that armed workers who had been trapped in the industrial zone appeared in the city, and although they did not enter the city center, armed workers appeared in all directions of the city, and a new body of power, the St. Petersburg Soviet, had begun to replace the city government as the organ of power of St. Peterburg, and of course no one recognized its legitimacy except for the workers and a part of the citizens, but even so, the city was at least briefly calm.

But the calm didn't last long, and in the morning, workers walked out of their homes and gradually gathered in the city center. The St. Petersburg garrison headquarters has been deployed, and the city of St. Petersburg is full of patrols, infantry sentry lines, and cavalry. The suspension bridge to the city center has been pulled up. But demonstrators from the industrial zone still poured into the city center by boat across the Neva River.

According to the direct order received from the St. Petersburg garrison command, the police and soldiers began to shoot at the crowd on the river and on the street after firing signal flares, while the capital gendarmerie horse squad slashed the demonstrators with sabers, brutally suppressed, and successfully dispersed the march, and in the face of the frenzied suppression, the crowd scattered and fled.

After the repression, the whole of St. Petersburg fell with panicked faces. However, despite the brutal and ruthless repression, the masses recovered from their panic under the organization of the revolutionaries. In the midst of the chaos, it is often observed by anyone that the rioting masses show extreme disrespect to the army, throwing stones and ice at the army when they want them to disperse.

When the army shoots into the sky as a warning. Instead of fleeing, the crowd replied with laughter. Only when live ammunition is fired at the center of the crowd can the crowd disperse, although most of the demonstrators will hide in the courtyards of nearby houses. As soon as the shooting stopped, they went out into the street again.

The whole city. A game of cat and mouse was played between the army and the population, and a limited number of police officers and non-commissioned officers, Cossacks. It was clearly impossible to maintain order throughout St. Petersburg, and demonstrations began in the center of the city, but then broke out throughout the city during the repression.

Faced with the chaos already taking place in the city, some officials demanded that a reliable army be sent back to the capital from the front, but they later changed their minds and advised the War Secretary not to shoot and to use fire hoses to spray cold water to disperse the crowd. However, their opinion is firm and unanimous: to solve the problem by force.

Finally, the demands of a handful of officials clearly could not shake the decision of the St. Petersburg garrison command: to settle by force!

On Nevsky Street, hundreds of thousands of workers, holding high red flags, waving slogans and drinking revolutionary songs, walked forward, and as the procession moved forward, a large number of people often poured out of the nearby lanes to join the march.

"Comrades women go ahead!"

In the procession, the revolutionaries constantly appealed to the women, who were well acquainted with the psychology of the soldiers, who might be able to shoot at ordinary workers, but who could hardly shoot at women, especially beautiful women, who, after being "guided by certain men", had already mastered the art of rioting and marching.

"Gun loaded! Shoot at the enemy! ”

In the face of the demonstrators who crowded the streets, the officers with command knives shouted orders, but the soldiers hesitated in the face of the female workers in the textile mills, they did not want to kill these women, especially many of them were beautiful.

"Shoot!"

In their hesitation, the officer, seeing the workers approaching closer, once again commanded loudly.

"Don't shoot your brothers and sisters!"

The workers and women confronting the soldiers shouted loudly,

"You are also like us, before joining the army, you were also workers, they want to send you to the battlefield to die, come with us! Don't be cannon fodder for the capitalists, don't listen to the lies of the capitalists......"

The marchers marched toward the soldiers' barricade line while they made their propaganda efforts, while the women in the front row looked into the eyes of the soldiers, their faces full of unyielding expressions, and the soldiers with guns unconfidently avoided their gaze in the face of these women, and when the women approached the soldiers, the soldiers did not express hatred, but remained silent with a slight apology.

Armed repression is bankrupt in front of these beautiful women!

While the armed repression on Nevsky Street was bankrupt, most of the revolutionaries entered the St. Petersburg garrison barracks with the workers, and at two o'clock in the afternoon a few workers came to the barracks of the Pavlovsky regiment, which was sympathetic to the workers, and the soldiers here were all newly drafted, many of them had been workers before, and they approached the soldiers who had worked with them in a factory before joining the army, mobilized the soldiers they knew, and then led by those soldiers to give speeches in the barracks:

"Tell your comrades, even the brothers of the Pavlov regiment shot at us, we saw soldiers in uniforms like yours on Nevsky Street, the whole street was red with blood, and those soldiers shot not only workers, but also women, children, ......"

In the speeches of those revolutionaries, there seemed to be a massacre in St. Petersburg, and the soldiers who had been in St. Petersburg were stunned by the tragedy that the speaker said, and the regimental teaching team transferred by the government shot at the people, and also shot women, children, and maybe even their relatives, the danger of their relatives, and the rumors of a massacre only made the soldiers who stayed in the camp fall into a state of righteous indignation, but at this time the officers could barely maintain order in the troops.

Some soldiers whose families lived in St. Petersburg, because they feared for the safety of their families, left the barracks with guns without permission, and on Nevsky Street, these soldiers encountered the mounted police, and after firing the bullets they carried, they withdrew to the camp and were surrounded and disarmed, but this spontaneous action, in the mouth of the revolutionaries, became "soldiers rebelling against tyranny", and under the influence of deliberate propaganda, the soldiers of other garrisons in St. Petersburg were shaken.

It was also at this time that the sound of artillery came from the Kronstadt fortress, and the workers' Red Guards began to revolt against the enemy in the city......

This night, Russia is destined to no longer be peaceful......"

1905 Russia Shook the World

Everyone who cares about the political situation is paying attention to the changes in Russia, and almost every diplomat and journalist who remains in St. Petersburg has noticed the upheaval that took place in the city and in Russia as a whole after the 7th - a revolution is sweeping through the city, the country.

William, an American journalist, walked out of the door for the first time after the gunfire had died down, and as he walked out of the hotel door, he saw workers and citizens wearing red armbands or scarves everywhere in the streets, carrying Mosin or Viedan rifles, and even many with shotguns.

In the streets, you can see barricades, but more often than not, armed people, people of different colors and weapons, looking extremely excited, as if for them the revolution has succeeded.

On both sides of the street, red flags seem to remind people that the revolution has succeeded. And among these revolutionaries, in addition to the citizen workers, there were many soldiers. In the hotel, William received the news that the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in several barracks outside the city had now fallen to the revolution, and that the National Soviet in St. Petersburg was forming an army - an army belonging to every citizen, not to the tsar's.

"Citizen, please show your pass!"

At the street corner, William was blocked by the Workers' Guard.

"I am a correspondent for the American New York Times, and this is my pass, a ...... issued by the St. Petersburg Soviet"

The reason why he was able to get the pass in the first place was entirely due to the relatively "deep" friendship between William and several revolutionaries, who in fact were a journalist to the outside world, but to the top of the Russian Social Revolutionaries he was a "friend", a friend who could provide them with financial support.

In addition to his identity as a journalist, William also has a secret identity, he is also an intelligence officer of the Northeast Intelligence Bureau - eleven years ago, he was just a wandering child on the coast, secretly adopted by the Intelligence Bureau and brought back to the Northeast, where he received an American-style education, of course, the teachers in that school were also hired from the United States, two years ago, with a fake identity and a college diploma, he went to the United States, and entered the New York Times as a reporter, and then he has been hiding in the United States for a long time, Almost never directly involved in any intelligence work. In the past many years, hundreds of "idle chess players" like him with Western faces have been trained by the Northeast intelligence agencies, and they have all been sent to Europe, the United States and Western countries to lurk for a long time.

After the outbreak of the war between China and Russia, the Intelligence Bureau did not use spies lurking in Russia, but sent spies from the United States, Germany, Italy, France and other countries to Russia, this is to protect the latent forces in Russia, of course, it is also based on long-term planning, after all, those agents lurking in Russia, some of them have infiltrated the revolutionary party and Russian government agencies, although their positions are not high, or even just ordinary people, but in the future, who knows what will happen?

After passing through the check, William soon went to the Maria Palace, where the All-Russian Soviet was located, and on the list of visitors, William signed his name, and then he was ushered into the palace, and after a short wait, he met the person he was going to meet on his trip - Ulyanov, leader of the Socialist-Revolutionary Party and chairman of the All-Russian Soviet.

"William, my friend, I will tell you one thing, just two hours ago we had seized Moscow, our comrades there had already established Soviet power, well, more importantly, on the outskirts of Moscow there were two hundred thousand recruits, who, under our propaganda, had become glorious Red Army soldiers, and now we have more than half a million troops in the country, and three hundred thousand workers' Red Guards!"

No wonder he was so excited when he spoke, Ulyanov was so excited, just a few days ago he was a revolutionary operating in the underground, but now he is the leader of all Russia, and despite his physical afflictions such as syphilis, this does not prevent him from directing the revolution.

After the massacre in St. Petersburg, workers from all over Russia went on strike in support of their brothers in St. Petersburg, and in just a few days, millions of workers across the country took part in it, and the Socialist-Revolutionaries everywhere seized the opportunity to incite them to revolt, and the uprising in St. Petersburg was not isolated.

“…… The general strike spread throughout the country, with about 1.5 million industrial workers and 750,000 railway workers participating, and workers in Petersburg, Moscow and other cities formed Soviets to lead strikes and armed uprisings. In the countryside, the commotion in the countryside is larger in scope and scale than in the cities, and lasts longer. The peasants, who were so poor that they had no way out, cut down the landlords' trees, stole their livestock, and cut the landlords' pastures, and in some places the revolutionary peasants destroyed and looted the landlords' estates, setting them on fire, and destroying thousands of estates of the landlord class. And in view of the present form, the All-Russian Soviet is ready to pass the Peasants' Act, giving every peasant land ......"

Talking excitedly about the all-Russian Soviet government, Ulyanov analyzed the influence of these policies on which strata they would turn towards revolution, and that under the influence of each policy, eventually the workers, the burghers and the peasants, and of course the soldiers who did not want to be cannon fodder, would turn to the uprising, to the Soviets.

"Now that the revolution in Russia has reached its most critical moment, my friend, we can win it at any time, and of course, this is what you hope for......"

Looking at William in front of him, the spokesman of the Chinese government in Russia, Ulyanov's tone seemed a little hurried, because he knew very well that in the seemingly blazing revolutionary wave, the All-Russian Soviet was also in danger.

"In the past, without your help, we could not carry out this revolution, but now, when the revolution is about to succeed, my friend, we need your help even more, and now, the difficulty we are facing is no longer when to bring down the Tsar, now the Tsar has been defeated by us, as long as we want, we can attack Tsarskoye at any time, there is news that the Tsar is likely to leave Tsarskoye and go into exile, and at this time, we need more help, my friend......"

Staring at each other, Ulyanov said in an extremely serious tone.

"Of course, please believe that once we take power, we will definitely fulfill our previous agreement! I believe that this is undoubtedly more in line with China's interests than the huge military spending! (To be continued.) )
