Chapter 656: The Time Has Come
In fact, although the actions of the Japanese army in Siberia caused unforgivable damage to the Russians, but from another aspect, it was equivalent to a great favor to the Chinese army, and the remaining Tsarist Russians in Siberia can be said to hate the Japanese army to the core, and it can be said that they do not share the sky, which is of great benefit to the Japanese army attacking Siberia in the future, and after the Chinese army conquers all of Siberia, it is also of great benefit to the rule of Siberia, because basically some of the thorns among the Russians have been almost killed. The remaining Russians who did not die were the kind of people who were obedient, and after the Chinese army conquered Siberia in the future, these remaining Russians would definitely be grateful to the Chinese army that rescued them, and it would be much simpler to form a rule in the actual sense.
In order to fight against Japan, the Chinese army not only built an air force airfield on the island of Kyushu that it had attacked and occupied, but also built a large military airfield in Busan, North Korea.
In addition, the Fourth Army also built four military airfields in border cities near Siberia, such as Kulen and **, and the Air Force deployed warplanes to provide air support to the army and aerial bombardment of Japanese troops in Siberia.
Just when China was waiting for another great change in Russia, there was an undercurrent surging in Russia again.
With the defeat of the war against Germany organized by the Russian Provisional Government, the military base of the Cadet Party, the ruling party of the Provisional Government, collapsed, leaving only the police and cadets of the military academy in the capital to be dispatched. It lost its prestige by pro-tsarist forces such as the October Party, the remnants of the Progressive Party and the Loyalist Officers, which collapsed as a result of the February Revolution, and the Social Democratic Party, the Social Revolutionaries, and the Soldiers' Council, which participated in the February Revolution. Falling into decline.
In September, the Russian Provisional Government tried to salvage the defeat. Appointment of the Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Army, the royalist officer Ravl? Kornilov was the first to attack, commanding a Cossack army to attack Petrograd. Under the pretext of eliminating traitors and defending Russia and the Tsar, the Cadet Party, the Social Democratic Labor Party and the Social Revolutionary Party participated in the February Revolution. The Cadets had no troops to send and turned to the workers' armed forces for help. Coordinated by members of the left wing of the Social Democratic Labour Party, the workers' armed forces and soldiers sympathetic to the revolution defeated Kornilov's army.
When Kornilov's army collapsed, the majority of the Russian Revolutionary Party, which was closely linked to the workers' armed forces, returned to the forefront, and the Cadet order was ineffective. In an effort to salvage the decline, the Cadets planned to use the remaining forces of the Provisional Government to arrest the majority leadership in Petrograd. Then negotiate with the grassroots. Vladimi convened two meetings to decide on the uprising, Stalin, Sverdlov, Dzerzhinsky and others formed a revolutionary military council, and in October, workers and soldiers occupied the Donbass region and Kiev.
On the night of November 6, more than 200,000 revolutionary soldiers and insurrectionary workers quickly occupied strategic points in Petrograd. At 1 a.m. on the 7th, the rebel forces occupied the General Post Office. At 2 o'clock captured the Baltic and Nikolaevsky railway stations. The lighting circuits in the Government building were then turned off, and the Telephone Office cut off most of the telephones of the Interim Government and the Command. At about 6 o'clock, armed workers, soldiers and sailors had occupied the palace bridge. With the exception of the area of the Palace Square and Isaakievska Square, almost all other areas were in the hands of the insurgents. The Prime Minister of the Provisional Government, Kerensky, fled in a car from the US Embassy. At 10 o'clock, the Revolutionary Military Council circulated the "Letter to the Citizens of Russia" drafted by Lenin. It was declared that the Provisional Government had been overthrown and that power had been transferred to the Council of Soldiers' and Workers' Deputies. However, the Provisional Government remained stubborn, and more than 2,000 officers and cadets continued to entrench themselves in the Winter Palace. At 5~6 p.m. on November 7, 1917, more than 20,000 revolutionary soldiers, armed workers, and 9 military vehicles surrounded the Winter Palace.
At that time, the guards of the Winter Palace had only one women's battalion and one cadet battalion. Under the onslaught of the crowd, they quickly surrendered. The head of the defense of the Winter Palace, Parichinsky, himself opened the gates of the Winter Palace and took them to the place where the ministers of the Provisional Government were meeting.
In the early hours of 8 November, all members of the Provisional Government (with the exception of Kerensky, who had escaped) were arrested. The Hermitage was finally conquered. The armed uprising in Petrograd was victorious, and the bourgeois Provisional Government was overthrown. The Council of Workers' and Soldiers' Representatives adopted the "Letter to the Workers, Soldiers and Peasants of the World", declaring that all political power everywhere would be transferred to the Council of Workers' and Soldiers' Representatives. The Peace Decree and the Land Decree were adopted the following day. At the same time, it is to reflect the characteristics of sappers. The Cadets were outlawed in the new Constituent Assembly elections and the constituencies were divided into rear and front districts.
In the early morning of November 9, the Congress of Workers and Soldiers concluded successfully. It proclaimed the formation of the Russian government. The newly formed government of Soviet Russia sent a telegram to the whole world and recommended that all belligerents immediately enter into negotiations and conclude a peace treaty without cession of land and without reparations. But no state heeded, and when the war came to this point, a country had to pay for the war, even the newly established Soviet Russian government.
At noon on the same day, the Huaguo Presidential Office received the news that Xiao Zhenlei held an emergency meeting.
The atmosphere in the conference room was extremely serious, these participants had already heard the news, and they were all talking in a low voice before Xiao Zhenlei came, and some people bluntly said that the time had come to launch an attack on the Japanese army in Siberia, after all, Hua Guo had been waiting for this moment for more than two years.
Xiao Zhenlei walked into the conference room with a serious face, all the officials attending the meeting stood up, Xiao Zhenlei sat on the first place and pressed his hand, and said after everyone sat down: "I think you have heard that the Russian Revolutionary Party launched an uprising in the middle of the night three days ago, and broke through the Winter Palace in the early hours of yesterday morning, and captured almost all the high-level members of the Russian Provisional Government.
Just two hours earlier, the Russian authorities had telegraphed to the world that it had been established, and that it had advised all belligerents to cease the war and then negotiate a contract without cession of land and no reparations. I believe that no belligerent country would agree to an armistice, except for the newly formed Soviet Russian authorities.
Why? At this point in the war, it is basically impossible to resolve it peacefully, unless one side falls, after all, such a long war, using astronomical wealth and materials, killing and wounding hundreds of millions of people in the world, and none of them ended like this? This is impossible, even if we agree, Britain, France and Germany and Austria will not agree, there must be a victory, there must be a country to pay for this war!
Therefore, let's not talk about the truce, now let's talk about the current situation in detail, at present, Soviet Russia has just been established, and it still only controls Petrograd and a few other cities, the first thing we have to do now is to order the troops in the Ural Mountains and the Siberian area controlled by our army to the east of it to immediately strengthen the defense forces in the area controlled by the Russian army, from now on, any Russian army and Russian officials who want to enter the defense area of our army will be prohibited from passing, and the intelligence services must also act urgently. To prevent Soviet Russian spies from entering the Siberian region where our army is deployed to carry out rebellion and sabotage activities, it is necessary to mobilize the local residents of Siberia to assist in the defense, and once the whereabouts of the Soviet Russian personnel are discovered, they will be arrested immediately!
Second, the Western Theater of Operations temporarily stopped all military operations against the German-Austrian army, do not attract the attention of Germany and Austria to our side, the Western Theater must strictly guard against the Russian army in the north, after all, it is no longer the Russian Provisional Regime in power, but Soviet Russia, the attitude of the Russian army on the southwest defense line is unclear, we cannot help but guard against them, immediately give Cai Guodong an order, let them closely monitor the movements of the Russian army, as long as the Russian army has signs and intentions to attack the areas occupied by our army, immediately strike first! ”
In fact, the probability of the Soviet Russian authorities launching a war against the Chinese army is very small, and it is almost impossible to exist, after all, Tsarist Russia was dragged down by this war, and if it were not for the concentrated stimulation of various social contradictions in Russia by this war, the leaders of the Soviet and Russian authorities might not have had a chance. Therefore, the top echelons of the Soviet and Russian authorities understood that the most important thing now was to end the war, seize power in the Provisional Government in various places, and win the support of the soldiers and officers at the front.
Although Xiao Zhenlei can also see that the probability of Soviet Russia launching a war against the outside world is almost non-existent, he can't help but guard against it, disrespectful Fra basically personally signed the document for the return of Siberia and Kazakhstan, he will not know how powerful this document is, so Vladimi may cover up his bad deeds and brazenly start a war to regain those lands, if he wants to start a war, it is also very likely that he will wait for China to occupy Siberia before starting, but Vladimi may not start a war, Both of these conditions exist.
Xiao Zhenlei took a puff of cigarette and continued: "Third, the Eastern Theater is immediately preparing to carry out a full-scale attack on Japan, and start a war against the Japanese troops on the Japanese island of Honshu, Shikoku Island and Siberia at the same time. ”
Jiang Fangzhen asked: "President, what is the deadline for this persuasion and ultimatum?" ”
Xiao Zhenlei thought for a while and instructed: "Of course, the less time the better, after all, the longer we stay, the more time the Soviet Russian side will have to seize the power of the Russian Provisional Government, and the more firmly the Soviet Russia's control over Russia, the greater the threat to our strategy of seizing Siberia in advance, I most hope that we can defeat Japan before Soviet Russia fully grasps the control area west of the Ural Mountains, and after Japan surrenders, we can receive Siberia, so we will have more time to deal with the possible reversal of the Soviet Russian authorities!"
