What can you do with 50 million?

This is a proposition, in fact, this proposition is very easy to answer, the cost of a Zhenhai-class is 8.3475 million yuan, the cost of a fixed-wave class armored cruiser is 4.923 million yuan, and the manufacturing cost of a Han-style rifle is only 10.25 yuan. 50 million yuan can buy 6 Zhenhai-class combat ships, 10 fixed-wave class armored cruisers, or nearly 5 million Han-style rifles, and according to the composition of the Northeast Army, 50 million may be used to form 20 infantry brigades.

For example, the Shenyang Arsenal, which is the largest arsenal in Asia, has a total investment of only 21 million yuan in the past 10 years, while the total investment of the Dalian Shahekou Locomotive Factory is only 9 million yuan, and with the Anshan Iron and Steel Company, it is barely only 50 million yuan.

Million!

That's a lot of money!

Fifty million can be used to do many things, but can fifty million defeat a great power? This is obviously impossible, to give the simplest example. The war between the British and the Boers ended in 1902. The war with the small states of southern Africa cost the British £500 million in military spending.

And in the war between the Northeast and Russia. Through a series of means, such as selling public land in advance and levying additional "land rent," Northeast China has prepared as much as 1.5 billion yuan in special war expenses, and even so, it has issued 1 billion yuan of special bonds at home and abroad to supplement war expenses, and if necessary, it will issue bonds again.

In a word, 50 million is a drop in the bucket for a war, and it may affect a campaign. But it is never possible to defeat a country.

But if used in the right place, perhaps, 50 million may even change history.

As early as the outbreak of the war, Akashi, who had already planned an "attempt" against Russia, already had a million-dollar working fund, which bypassed the Intelligence Bureau and also bypassed the General Staff Headquarters, but was allocated by the Governor himself in the name of "confidential expenses." The first amount of funds was as high as 2 million yuan, and as soon as he got the money, Akashi distributed the money to various **** in Russia. This just right "timely provision" has made the opposition in a difficult situation. It was as if it had come back to life, and it was suddenly revived. The action plan, which had been frustrated, was continued.

The Geneva resolution, which launched large-scale demonstrations, is likely to be realized with the support of adequate funding. After the palace assassination was exposed, most of the Russian Revolution and party members were arrested. The opposition and revolutionary forces in the country ordered the members of the party's leadership to divide into two routes and go from east to west to carry out the work of rebuilding the party. Tchaikovsky, Father Garbon, Shosky, and others continued to lurk in Russia, responsible for restoring the organization and encouraging the members of the opposition to regain their morale; Silyaks, Deganokki, Cherkesov and others were responsible for the purchase of weapons in order to start a new wave of revolution in Russia.

After the Russian opposition, the Revolutionary and Command Party expressed this demand, Akashi Motojiro naturally cooperated in all directions -- procuring weapons in various European countries in the name of the government to support the Russian revolution. As for the type of weapons, the requirements of the various opposition parties differ. The Revolutionary Socialist Party and the Polish Socialist Party, because of their predominantly workers, were reluctant to use rifles, preferring to use pistols that were easy to conceal. The opposition in Finland and the Caucasus, with a majority of peasant members, welcomed rifles unusually well.

For their requirements, Akashi naturally met them one by one, he entrusted the military attachés in the consulates to run around to buy rifles, most of those weapons were purchased in the name of the government, but anyone can see that that kind of procurement is simply to hide their ears and eyes, because the weapons they purchase are all kinds, including both old weapons handled by the French, as well as new weapons produced by arsenals, it is not difficult to buy weapons, as long as you have money, you can buy enough weapons, In addition to Akashi Genjiro and other consular officials who did everything possible to buy weapons, the parties themselves were actively looking for and purchasing their favorite weapons, and even the Civil Rights Socialist Party and the Bunde Party, which did not participate in the coalition resolution, were also active everywhere to obtain weapons.

In fact, the most difficult problem is the delivery of weapons everywhere. Once the revolutionary party inside Russia has mastered weapons, it will become a "rebel force" with strong fighting spirit, and their rebellion will affect the entire situation of the war; therefore, it is natural that the intelligence personnel of the Russian Government should pay special attention to and pay close attention to the movement of weapons, and thus must also do everything possible to strengthen reconnaissance and sabotage and transport work. It is indeed a risky task to evade the close surveillance of Russian intelligence officers and transport large quantities of dangerous goods to the locations of members of the anti-government party who are conducting clandestine activities in Russia.

Despite this, with the help and cooperation of the opposition within Russia, Akashi managed to complete the task of sending weapons to Russia. As early as mid-June, Akashi successfully transported guns by rail from Hare in Switzerland to the Kornied Chamber of Commerce in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, one of the Beiyang Trading Company's agents in Europe. Thirty-six thousand rifles were inspected, packed in special boxes, loaded into wagons, and shipped out when people were not looking. This was followed by the issue of maritime transport. For transportation needs, the Corned Chamber of Commerce bought a new cargo ship of 1,000 tons to transport supplies from place to place. The ship was bought by Wei Yanagida, the manager of the London branch of the Beiyang Trading Company, and was owned by an anarchist in the name of the London wine merchant Deggin, and was borrowed by the American anarchist Mentel.

"Tranon" sailed in camouflage, flying the British flag. It sailed out of Newcastle Port in the United Kingdom at the end of July. After arriving at the English Channel. Change course and stop at the port of Vraardingen in the Netherlands. After the entire crew was replaced by members of the Russian rebels, they continued south along the English Channel, secretly anchoring off the coast of Golzi, an isolated island in the strait.

At the same time, the weapons were first secretly transported to the British branch of the Beiyang Trading Company, which was then responsible for loading them into the holds of large cargo ships, pretending to be transported to Bangkok, Siam, and arriving off the coast of Kerji at the same time. An ingenious rendezvous was achieved.

The flip operation, which was carried out at sea, was carried out day and night for three days. At that time, the weather changed abruptly, and the work was extremely difficult. Three days later, the "Tranon," carrying 36,000 rifles, 10 million rounds of ammunition, 30,000 pistols, and 30 tons of explosives, was piloted by members of the Russian opposition party and hoisted the British flag all the way north.

Akashi, who was so excited to learn that he had succeeded in delivering the weapons to Russia, could no longer suppress his joy, which he expresses in the following lyrical poem.

"Why should the fame be sent to the prince, and the ambition will be turned into a thousand miles.

The history of success or failure is written by the sky, and the white sail is in a storm. ”

Just as Genjiro Akashi had originally predicted. The anti-government factions that had been given weapons turned into a fight, and they launched riots in various parts of the Baltic Sea, and the success of the Baltic Sea led Akashi Genjiro to once again plan a larger arms smuggling.

Because transportation in the Caucasus was particularly difficult, Silliacs waited until the "Tranon" had successfully sailed north before rushing back to Switzerland to make painstaking arrangements for other matters. In early July, 65,000 rifles and 12 million rounds of ammunition arrived on the Mediterranean island of Malta. Subsequently, unloaded in Odessa and Batumi on the Black Sea, it was handed over to members of the local opposition for use in setting off a revolution in the region.

At the beginning of August, after repeated requests from Akashi Genjiro, the General Staff finally agreed to hand over the captured Russian weapons to Akashi to be used to support the Russian "revolutionary cause", perhaps with less than 100,000 Russian troops in the Primorsky area, but there was a backlog of hundreds of thousands of weapons from the Russo-Japanese War and a large amount of ammunition in the warehouses, and after obtaining the consent of the General Staff, the captured weapons were immediately loaded onto ships and shipped to Europe.

“…… It then sailed straight to Tornio, on the border of Finland and Sweden, and then headed south to unload the weapons in various places. ”

In the train compartment, Akashi Genjiro once again planned the route of the "Terlanon" with Shen Honglie beside him, and now the "Terlanon", which has a major mission, sails in the north in the sea area where there are no charts and no ships entering and exiting. According to the plan, weapons and ammunition were first unloaded near the cities of Tornio and Jacobs to support the local revolution.

And all of this requires them to plan the route in advance, Shen Honglie, who graduated from the Naval Academy, is now studying in the Navy in the United Kingdom, and he was recruited to cooperate with Akashi's plan, because those crew members do not have much experience, so most of their routes are from Shen Honglie's hands.

"This time, the army agreed to send 200,000 weapons, and my personal plan is 120,000 in the Baltics, 80,000 in the Black Sea, plus 30,000 rifles purchased in Europe, 70% of which will be used to support the revolutionary ...... of the Russian Socialists."

According to the agreement reached with Ulyanov, in the coming months he will give his full support to the revolution, hundreds of thousands of weapons and tens of millions of dollars, and the country has agreed to give full support to his actions and to support the revolution in Russia.

"I'm afraid it's very difficult to transport so many weapons!"

Shen Honglie couldn't help but sigh, and at the same time took a pencil and marked it on the chart.

"Now that the Russians agree and know that we are strongly supporting the opposition at home, they have sent the auxiliary cruiser "Asia" in the Baltic Sea converted into a fast mail ship, and their fleet is cruising in the Black Sea. ”

"No matter how difficult it is, it can be done, after all, ......"

After a slight pause, thinking of the Governor's expectations, Akashi immediately said excitedly.

"The success of our actions now will depend on the future of the whole of Asia......"

No!

It's not just Asia!

Standing in the Governor's Palace, looking at the rain outside the window, and thinking of all the information about the internal turmoil in Russia, Tang Haoran whispered silently.

"It will also affect the future of the whole world!"

Yes!

The history of the world is also very likely to be changed, after all, after all, the person who is fully supported now is a famous guy in another time and space, in another time and space, Akashi Genjiro only used one million yuan to set off a wave of revolution in Russia, and now, he has spent 15 million yuan, and his achievements are far more than in another time and space - riots and uprisings are consuming Russia's strength.

"The anti-government and revolutionary parties everywhere acted flexibly and unexpectedly quickly and surprisingly quickly to achieve their first goal. The people of all Russia have made up their minds to continue the riots until the Emperor submits to the people and has the desire to fully satisfy the demands of the people. With the recent weakening of the Government's repressive activities, it has become clear that it will be difficult to stop the civil unrest and continue the war. …… In many places, including Russia proper, Poland, the Caucasus and Finland, riots, sabotage of railways, cutting of power lines, looting of arsenals, detention of public officials and destruction of administrative institutions have taken place. Judging from the remarkable results achieved, it can be expected that the unfinished part of the original plan will be completely completed. ”

Thinking of the report of the Intelligence Bureau, Tang Haoran's brows raised slightly, now this strategic battle behind enemy lines is changing the balance of power between China and Russia, and Russia, which seems to be powerful, has actually fallen into a new predicament, for Tang Haoran, all he needs is to add another handful of oil and exert more strength.

At this moment, Akashi and the intelligence bureau's network of work had spread throughout the European part of Russia. One can imagine the power of this network of armed insurrections in Russia. If sufficient funds and weapons are provided to the national organizations that control a country, whether it is railways, communications, or finance, it is as if the national organizations had occupied that country by armed force.

Then such a strategic work is remembered precisely for such a function: Russia will completely get rid of the rule of the Romanov dynasty without waiting for the attack of the Northeast Army. In fact, in another time and space, when Germany was faced with a two-front war, the Germans dismantled the Russian Empire by releasing that person and supporting that person.

Now, Akashi also chose that person, and there is no doubt that Tang Haoran chose to support him, to support his support for that person - 35 million!

This is a special fund approved by Tang Haoran himself, and 80% of this fund will be used to support that person's revolutionary cause, is it possible to succeed?

Staring at the rain outside the window, Tang Haoran thought of another question - if the revolution succeeded, what would he release?
