"Hey, Dena, what are you looking at? So seriously? Have you forgotten that we have something important to do today? Liebknecht smiled at Dena, then unfettered picked up a teacup from the table, poured himself a glass of water, raised his head, and drank it with a rumbling.

"Uh-huh......," Dena replied casually, but apparently she didn't hear what Liebknecht was saying. Because her eyes were still fixed on the booklet, and she even used a pencil to draw something on the scratch paper on the table from time to time.

"Hi, Miss Dena!" Liebknecht had to raise his voice.

"Ah, what's the matter?" Dena finally noticed Liebknecht.

"Dena, our friend, Vladimir is going back to Russia. Have you forgotten? Now that there is a revolution in Russia, he is going back, and we have to go and talk to him. Liebknecht replied with a smile.

"Ah, thank you, if you don't say it, I almost forgot about it." Dena put down the pamphlet in her hand and stood up.

"What kind of book is this, so that you are hooked?" Liebknecht, apparently curious, approached to see the contents of the book.

"Ah, this is an epoch-making book that has profoundly changed my worldview." Dena replied with a grin, "I don't quite believe his point of view yet, but there are a lot of things that can be very inspiring. Why, you also want to look into it? ”

"You're so good at it, of course I'm going to see it." Liebknecht replied, "I still believe in your vision, and you think it is so good, it must be worth seeing." ”

"Well, I'll show you. Don't blame me if your head explodes. Dena smiled and handed the pamphlet to Liebknecht.

"On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies?" Looking at the pamphlet in his hand, Liebknecht's eyes widened, "What is this about?" ”

"The physical movement is a perfect solution to the problem of aether. And it shatters the fixed view of time and space since Kepler, and is a book that destroys the worldview of man, well, I mean that part of the understanding of the natural world. Dena said.

"I'll leave it to you." Liebknecht was very self-aware and returned the pamphlet to Dena, "If you seem to have a headache with this thing, then I don't want to take it seriously." I think I'm better suited to watch Verne's stuff. Alright, it's time for us to go. ”

……

Because of the series of crushing defeats in the Russo-Japanese War and the reckless conquest to maintain the war, various discontents in Russia have also become more and more serious. By the end of 1904, strikes of all kinds had begun to occur. In January 1905, the workers of St. Petersburg launched a general strike, but at that time the Russians still had many illusions about the Tsar.

Generally speaking, the monarchs of absolute monarchies will always find ways to deify themselves and use all means, political and religious, to deceive the people into believing that the king is incomparably wise and incomparably good, and that he is simply the embodiment of the all-powerful and all-good God on earth. The emperor of China is the Son of Heaven who is carried by heaven, the Tsar of Russia is the guardian of Orthodox Christianity, the pharaoh of ancient Egypt is the son of the gods, and Tian Huang of Ni is directly the gods.

But in this way, there is immediately a question, that is, since the emperor is as wise as a god and kind as Cheng Xin, why are there so many unreasonable and bullying things in the world? So a famous nonsense used to deceive the common people appeared, this sentence is the capital of those who have watched "Water Margin", that is, Song Zhisi's brother often says: "Today's saints are holy and bright, but they are just deceived by some traitors." ”

Of course, this kind of nonsense is not worth a damn, because logically speaking, this is different, and the so-called holy wisdom means that people cannot be deceived. If a few traitors can be blinded, then there is still a hairy Shengming. However, the point of brainwashing is to make you forget the logic and believe in these nonsense. Even in many cases, brainwashing can be carried out under the banner of anti-brainwashing. But no matter how they play, just like a physical hypothesis without mathematical support cannot be called a hypothesis, but can only be called a fantasy, anyone who does not rely on logic to persuade people, but tries to rely on conscience, morality, and the like is brainwashing and hooliganism.

However, this kind of hooligan has been playing for thousands of years, and it is not without reason, the reason is that this trick really works. For example, in Russia, for hundreds of years, most of the Russian people, although they were deeply oppressed, sincerely believed that His Majesty the Tsar was a good person, and even called him our father. It's all to blame for the bureaucracy below for being too bad.

With this understanding, when the people could no longer live, their first thought was not the revolution, but to petition the Tsar, and they naively believed that His Majesty the Tsar, who was incomparably kind, did not know their situation, because he was deceived by traitors, and once the people let him see the truth, he would immediately stand firmly on the side of the people, deal with those bad people harshly, and return the Russian people to a clear blue sky.

What kind of understanding there is, what kind of action there is. Since there is such a naïve idea, there is naturally a naïve action. In January 1905, more than 30,000 workers in Petersburg, despite the dissuasion of the Bolsheviks, went to the Winter Palace to petition the Tsar, following a loving and intelligent Orthodox priest, holding up a cross, an icon of Jesus, and a portrait of the Tsar. His Majesty's guards opened fire, and the priest who took the lead was killed on the spot. The crowd retreated in a panic, and the guards chased after them, killing thousands of "rebels".

The Tsar made such a decision because he knew very well that there were many people who were dissatisfied with reality, and as long as he made even a little concession, more people would jump out and put forward their own demands, so he believed that the best way at present was to adopt a high-pressure policy and suppress the provocateurs fiercely, maybe they could scare those fart people and make them honest.

I have to say that Tsar Nicholas II made a mistake, he thought that the fart people were easy to scare, and he didn't know, from ancient times to the present, the best trick to deal with the fart people has never been a threat but a deception. When a king can only be maintained by deterrence and suppression, the emergence of Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, Spartacus or something is inevitable.

After the bloody repression, the stupidest common people also understood that the tsar was not their father, they had only been deceived all along. Thus, the Bolsheviks, who had not been able to enjoy the trust of the workers at all, were immediately trusted by the workers, and the revolutionary theories they propagated were immediately embraced by the workers. In the world, there is never a shortage of individuals who are so stupid that they can't figure out their own interests and have to count the money for others if they are sold, but there will be no class in this world who can't figure out their own interests. And so the revolution broke out quickly. From Petersburg to Yekaterinburg, from Moscow to Kiev, everywhere there was the fire of the revolution.

But neither the Bolsheviks nor the Mensheviks were ready to lead this revolution. Their numbers are still too small, their organization is too small, and most of the revolutions are spontaneous, unorganized and uncoordinated. Because before, when the lie that the Tsar was the father of the Russian people could still deceive the masses, both the Bolsheviks and the Mensheviks would be regarded as careerists by the simple common people, and their organizations would naturally be difficult to develop, and the personnel and everything would have been very limited. Coupled with the constant blows of the tsarist government, many of their leaders had to go into exile, so at this time, there was no political force in Russia that could really organize the revolutionary underclass. It was at this time that Lenin was preparing to return to Russia.

……

"I'm glad you came to say goodbye to me." Lenin said to Dena and Liebknecht, "What do you think of the present situation in Russia? ”

"Comrade Lenin, Comrade Dena has some ideas about the current state of affairs in Russia." Liebknecht said.

"I would like to ask, Comrade Lenin, what are you trying to achieve by going back to Russia this time?" Dena asked bluntly.

"The revolution has taken place, and the situation in Russia shows that the people desperately want and need revolution. So, after returning to Russia, my task was, of course, to work more for the revolution and for the overthrow of the tsarist autocracy. Lenin replied.

"Then Comrade Lenin, do you think the time is ripe for the overthrow of the Tsar?" Dena continued to ask.

"And what do you think, Comrade Dena?" Lenin did not answer, but asked Dena for his opinion.

"I don't think the time is ripe to overthrow the tsar." "Comrade Lenin, as you told us last time, that the number of Bolsheviks in Russia was still very limited, and that their contacts with the workers were still limited. The lack of a sufficiently experienced grassroots is the greatest weakness of the Bolsheviks at present, which makes it very difficult for you to organise the workers really effectively. Comrade Lenin, you are also well aware of the difference between organized and unorganized forces. Despite the fact that there are uprisings everywhere these days, there is little cooperation between them. And the Bolsheviks were limited in their power and could not organize them. But the organization on the Tsar's side was not a problem. Therefore, in the present situation, the tsar can completely defeat the revolution everywhere. If the Bolsheviks wanted to overthrow the Tsar at this time, they would probably encounter great difficulties, suffer huge losses, and it would be difficult for them to succeed. ”

"So Comrade Dena, what do you think we should do best?" Lenin asked.

"Take this opportunity to educate the people, rectify and strengthen the organization." Dena replied, "You can't afford to build a tall building on the beach." Only with an organization with strong combat effectiveness can it bring about the victory of the revolution. Therefore, I think that this revolution, Comrade Lenin, should be regarded more as a revolutionary exercise, through which we can find out the weaknesses of the present and improve them. Get ready for the next real revolution. ”
