Chapter 237: Great Changes in Tsarist Russia

The enlargement of the Central Powers brought pressure on the Entente countries to decrease sharply, and the people in the Entente member states were worried, especially Britain and France, a large territory was occupied, and a day and night prevention of bombing by the German air force.

"Immediately mobilize India's garrisons to Afghanistan and Iran to support, damn Tsarist Russia, it should have prevented the war between Tsarist Russia and China in the first place, otherwise it would not be so passive now!"

Prime Minister Asquith declared war on Britain because of the Ottoman Empire's entry into the Central Powers, and troops stationed in India had to rush to both places to support.

Because of Russia's shameless withdrawal from the Entente, the whole of the Middle East and Central Asia were exposed to the Ottoman army, and Britain had limited forces here and had to mobilize troops from India to go there. Asquith was very reluctant to dispatch India's garrison, Huaxia was very coveted by India, and India's strength was very bad for them.

"No, France must also send troops from Indochina to Afghanistan, hoping that China will remain neutral and not attack our colonies in Asia."

After receiving Britain's request, President Raymond of France hesitated and agreed, and decided to send half of the troops in Indochina, that is, 50,000 French troops and 30,000 Indochinese servants.

According to the plan of the Chinese government, 300,000 troops will be stationed on the western border all year round until the end of the war.

In the South Seas, the Republic of South China took over the Dutch fleet stationed here and launched an offensive against all parts of the East Indies with its fleet and cargo ships.

"The United States and the Netherlands have reached an agreement to lend their fleet stationed in Luzon to the Netherlands, and they also said in a high-sounding manner that they have accepted the employment of the Netherlands, should we ask the young master for support?"

"I don't know if the country will fight against the United States for our sake, but now the strength of our navy is not as good as the United States!"

South China President Zheng Guoxiong stood up and said: "The young master will definitely support us, I believe that soon the country will make a decision on this matter, and now the young master in Asia has the final say, and it is not the turn of the rice countryman to point fingers!" ”

Zheng Guoxiong thought that since this was a plan that Qin Yu had planned for many years, he would not leave them alone, and now even without the help of the Huaxia fleet, he was confident that he would defeat the Dutch army, but he would pay a huge price, after all, he had several submarines from Huaxia to support them.

On 6 April, the Chinese Foreign Minister issued a stern rebuke to the United States on the matter of the United States lending its fleet to the Netherlands, warning the United States not to undermine the friendship between the two countries, and as long as the Republic of South China makes a request to Huaxia, the Chinese Empire will fully intervene in the war between South China and the Netherlands, because this is very much in line with the policy on the Chinese introduced by China not long ago.

Immediately after that, the Huaxia Military Department announced a list of their military transactions with Nanhua, which included 10 Huaxia submarines in active service and five Fire Dragon bombers, saying that if Nanhua needed it, the Huaxia Navy would be happy to make extra money and lend the Huaxia Indian Ocean Fleet to Nanhua for a fee.

Huaxia's move made Wilson explode directly, and now he is really afraid that a war between the two countries will break out because of South China, which is not in line with the interests and plans of the United States, so he hesitates to lend the fleet to the Netherlands.

Wilson couldn't believe that Huaxia was at odds with the United States for the sake of a small South China Republic, you must know that a large part of the construction of Huaxia was done by the merchants of the United States, and Huaxia was not afraid of withdrawing its investment?

"Hey, the Chinese Empire is getting more and more arrogant, and they dare to warn us, if it weren't for the outbreak of the European War, I would have made them look good, I knew that I shouldn't have supported their war against Tsarist Russia and Fusang in the first place, and now Huaxia Yan zhòng threatens the interests of Millican, it's really hateful!"

There are also quite a few complaints about Wilson's loan of the fleet to the Netherlands, who does not know the relationship between the Republic of South China and China, and it is not a wise choice to fight with China at this stage, the people of the United States have always believed that Europe is their center of gravity, and they are born in Europe and have a special feeling for Europe, that is, to overwhelm European countries.

"After the decision of the Congress, refusing to lend the fleet to the Netherlands, they generally believed that our move would cause China to join the war, and even if China did not join the war, they would support the Republic of South China in the same way, and the fleet of Luzon was no match for the Chinese fleet, and they did not want the fleet to perish because of this!" The presidential secretary said to Wilson with the congressional report.

Wilson said with a pale face: "Mouse eyes, Huaxia will definitely become one of the strongest opponents for us to dominate the world, now we should take advantage of the fact that Huaxia's economy has not yet gone up to stop their expansion as much as possible, we will eventually have a battle with Huaxia, this is completely indulging Huaxia enhancement!" ”

In his opinion, those guys in Congress underestimated the threat of Huaxia to the United States, and if the United States wants to gain a foothold in the Pacific, it must pass the Huaxia Navy, and he can already see the future scene of the two navies fighting in the Pacific. He also knew that this was a very helpless thing, no one could have predicted that Huaxia would be able to defeat Tsarist Russia and Fusang, and it would become stronger and stronger, and all kinds of advanced new weapons would emerge one after another.

Economic shortcomings are the biggest weakness of China today, and many countries know it, but no one dares to provoke this madman who is even crazier than Nicholas II, and even the two camps are courting China.

Soon after, the United States euphemistically told the Netherlands that it would not lend the fleet to the Netherlands on the grounds that it would cause a war between China and the United States, and the Dutch government had no choice but to send personnel to the East Indies to negotiate with the Republic of South China. In fact, at this time, the Netherlands really wanted to cry without tears, and no one in the two camps was willing to accept them, and even Germany frequently flowed out of the remarks of occupying the Netherlands to win over China, which made them almost scared.

…………

The Tsar was actively encircling and suppressing the Red Army, and the Tsarist Russian government army, which was supported by some German materials, won several major battles one after another, encircling the Red Army's forces to the death.

After the defeat of the Red Army in several battles, its sphere of influence changed from affecting most of Tsarist Russia to radiating from Moscow as the center, and the western, northern, southern and eastern parts of the country were occupied by government troops, leaving only parts of the northeast and east unoccupied.

At this time, the Red Army was similar to the Yellow Turban Army at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty in China, both of which spread to all parts of the country at the beginning and were menacing, but they were soon cleaned up by the government army.

"Comrades, our party has reached a critical juncture, if we cannot break through the encirclement of the government troops, sooner or later we will be eaten to the bottom, Germany has abandoned us, we must evacuate Moscow!" Zinoviev built yì tract.

The situation in Moscow is also not optimistic, it is difficult to hold it if it does not retreat, the Red Army has already emptied Moscow some time ago, and they are preparing to withdraw to the east and northeast.

"I am also in favor of withdrawing to the eastern region, and then using the eastern region as a base to establish a state, only by establishing a country can we fight the evil government army more powerfully!"

"Going to the east may be able to support Huaxia, and now that war is also breaking out in Central Asia, I believe Huaxia will be willing to help us!"

The pro-Chinese rhetoric was approved by the vast majority of the Red Party's top brass, and the resolution was quickly passed, but the complete withdrawal from Moscow became a huge problem.

At this time, because of policy mistakes, Liening both China and Germany gave up their support for the Red Party, and also wrongly led the Red Party's war, and the Red Army failed one after another, and he was questioned in the Red Party, and the pro-China faction took the opportunity to empty him.

The pro-China faction within the Red Party, also known as the rightists, advocated learning from the reforms in China; in their view, many of the reforms in China had a red shadow, and they also advocated that the military and the government should not be separated, and that the Red Party should firmly control the government and the army, implement a planned economy, and solve the current shortage of materials and food in the areas controlled by the Red Party.

"Hehe, how can we safely withdraw from Moscow now, do we leave the people of Moscow alone?" It was very unpleasant for Liening to be elevated, so he took the opportunity to fight back!

Zinoviev stared at Lie Ning tightly and said, "Who is most responsible for today's situation?" This is not Paris, it will not be another Paris Commune! I propose to adjust the current positions in the party, and we need a new leader to lead us out of the predicament! ”

It was also time for the pro-Chinese faction and Liening to meet the poor dagger, and they were desperate to gain control of the Red Party, so that they could gain the support of Huaxia.

"You...... If you can solve the problem of safe evacuation of Moscow, I will automatically give way, it is I who led the current predicament, my mind is not mature, I am willing to give up this position! Lie Ning, who was overhead, also knew his own situation, rather than being driven down by others, it was better to take the opportunity to give himself a step, so that the pro-China faction would have to weigh it himself, maybe he would have a chance to rise.

As soon as Lie Ning's words came out, the top leaders of the Red Party present were silent, and the people in Lie Ning's faction were very angry and wanted to slap the table, but they were stopped by Lie Ning's eyes.

Zinoviev looked at Lie Ning thoughtfully, "I agree!" ”

"Approve ......"

The pro-China faction raised their hands in agreement, the neutral guys also agreed, and after Liening's hand, the vast majority of the Red Party leaders agreed, and in their opinion, it was even more difficult to evacuate Moscow safely than to ascend to the sky!

The next day, Zinoviev secretly went to the Eighth Army of the government army with several men, and it is not known what he said to the commander of the Eighth Army, Admiral Brusilov, who secretly investigated dissidents that night, and a large number of officers who were loyal to the Tsar were arrested, and only Kornilov escaped by going to the headquarters to transport supplies.

Soon the Red Army in Moscow began to retreat, and the government forces surrounding it launched a fierce offensive against Moscow. Suddenly, the Eighth Army, northwest of Moscow, telegraphed the whole country to break away from the government and join the Red Army, and then launched an attack on the former friendly forces, and the government forces west of Moscow could not encircle and suppress the Red Army in Moscow in time.

The Red Army in Moscow defended the government army in the south as if it had expected it for a long time, and the government army in the south was not the main force, and was easily stopped by the Red Army, and the Red Party retreated to the eastern part of the country in a grand manner.

On April 8, the Red Party moved its headquarters to Ufa, where the Second Congress of the Red Party was held, at which Liening voluntarily resigned as chairman of the Red Party, and Zinoviev was elected chairman of the Red Party, becoming the second leader of the Red Party government.

On the same day, the Russian government army recaptured Moscow, and Brusilov joined the Red army with the remnants of the army, successfully resisting the government army in the middle of Nizhny Novgorod and Kazan.

On April 10, the Red Party officially electrified the establishment of a Soviet Republic in Ufa, with Ufa as the capital.
