It's not just Zoya's family who have had a very difficult time in Petrograd, there are many people who are just as difficult as her, or more difficult than her. If you really want Li Xiaofeng to see one and save the other, he can't be busy when he is tired.

What's more, even if he did not hesitate to risk himself and save people with his life, there were still unscrupulous capitalists on the other side who pushed the workers into the fire pit with a lot of money. For example, Breschinsky, president of the All-Russian Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the big boss of Moscow, did just that, and in the face of the Russian workers, who were tormented by hyperinflation and high-intensity labor, he declared in cold blood: "In order to establish a strong regime and to stifle the poor ghosts who are making trouble, Russia needs 'the clutches of hunger and the poverty of the people.'" ”

At Breschinsky's call, the Russian capitalists rejected all demands of the workers, forcefully closed down the striking factories and workshops, and swept hundreds of thousands of workers directly out of the country. Trying to stifle the workers' revolt economically, in their opinion, the ** passion of the poor ghosts will soon fade in a situation where they have no food, drink or clothing.

At the beginning of August, at the strong request of Britain, France, the United States, and Italy, and in order to give a legal cloak to the anti-** conspiracy, Kornilov, Rodchenko, Kerensky, and Tseletiri discussed convening a "state council." The venue was chosen in Moscow, and Moscow was chosen primarily to avoid interference, which, in their opinion, was located far from Petrograd and was a completely "silent" place.

On 8 August, in order to prepare for the "State Council," a "meeting of social activists" was held in Moscow composed of reactionary generals, big capitalists, and members of the Cadet Party.

"Fat Luo, what are you going to do?" Denikin was very puzzled, obviously they had already discussed before, and the State Council would be convened directly on August 12, but before that, what kind of social activist meeting did Luo Jiangke hold first, what are you trying to do fat man?

"Luo Fatzi is unwilling to admit defeat, trying to be stupid and struggling!" Shu Lijin sneered, "He is preparing to integrate the most powerful forces, and he is ready to fight to the death at the State Council!" ”

Kornilov agrees with Shulikin, in fact, since late July, he has noticed a series of small movements of the fat man, but at that time he was busy reorganizing the army and had no time to deal with him, and now the fat man kicked his nose in the face, which made Kornilov a little unbearable.

Denikin suggested: "Should you warn him, at this critical moment, I don't want one or two people to drag everyone back!" ”

Kornilov did not express his position directly, but turned his head to look at Shulikin, he wanted to hear the opinion of this dog-headed military advisor first, after all, playing political intrigues, this one is a lot stronger than Denikin.

"It's not impossible to give a proper warning," Shu Lijin said slowly, that style is really like a dog-headed military master, he shook his head and said: "Luo Fatzi is doing this is a temptation, he can't play many cards now, so he wants to probe our bottom." ”

Speaking of this, he changed his words and said contemptuously: "Actually, we don't need to warn him at all, in the face of absolute strength, all small means are not enough, we just crush him directly at the State Council!" ”

This suggestion made Kornilov think about it, in all fairness, he still thought it was better to read Rodenko, but he felt that Rodenko's ability was limited and not enough to lead Russia into the future, so he didn't want to completely tear his face with this fat man, and at this time give the fat man a warning, maybe he will stop.

And Shu Lijin actually asked him to do nothing, and directly crushed Luo Fatzi at the State Council, to be honest, he really felt a little out of line. But the problem is that Shulykin's opinion is not unreasonable, the reason why Russia is chaotic is because there is no strong iron-blooded government, and for him, who is determined to build a strong regime, he must be punished with the most severe punishment in the face of the enemy's provocation, so as to establish his prestige.

Was Luo Jiangke's behavior provocative? It can be said that it is not, it can be said that Luo Fatzi can say that he held a meeting of social activists, in fact, it is to stand for the State Council, and it should be regarded as a test of the waters, this kind of fearless spirit of single-mindedness for the public, how can you misunderstand it?

But can Kornilov really accept this in his heart? Now, both at home and abroad, calls for him to come forward to restore order and preside over the situation are one after another. Byuknian preached that he was the best person to restore discipline to the army. Later, he praised him bluntly: "All my good feelings are on Kornilov's side!" ”

At this time, Luo Jiangke suddenly jumped up and down to grab the camera, everyone knows that something is wrong, you are a dead fat man, right?

After thinking about it for a long time, Kornilov decided to accept Shulikin's suggestion, he believed that in order to be a strong leader, he must refuse to compromise, and if he compromised for the first time, there would be a second and third time, and he resolutely could not open this opening. For the sake of Russia's future, it is a very inevitable choice to shoot Luo Jiangko, a rising bird!

Poor Rodchenko, at this moment he did not know that he had become the first target of Kornilov, and that it was not his idea to convene a meeting of the "social activists" of the gods, but Guchkov's foolishness. Lao Gu poured him ** soup a lot, and warned him that he must beware of Kornilov, and he must integrate the most powerful strength to fight for the ship.

At first, Luo Jiangke was not moved, his own affairs were clear, and after the July incident, he understood that Kornilov was about to rise, and the rise of Lao Ko would inevitably greatly damage his political interests. If he could, Fat Luo would definitely point the finger at Kornilov and suppress this Qiu Ba fiercely.

The problem is that Kornilov is too strong, with the support of Britain, France, the United States, and Italy, and with heavy troops in his hands, to say that Luo Jiangke is looking for abuse to say that he has a hard time with him. That's right, Luo Fatzi really wants to rule Russia, but he doesn't do the stupid thing of an egg hitting a stone.

This fat man with a bad stomach thought in his heart, what can a Qiu Ba like Kornilov understand? Neither the vision of a politician nor the wrist of a politician, he jumped to the front desk without his strength and pointed at his fingers, and soon he would hit his head and bleed. At that time, when he Luo Fat Man ascended to the heights again, he would inevitably respond to a large crowd.

It should be said that Luo Jiangke's calculation still has a certain amount of truth, but it is a little too optimistic and taken for granted. At that time, Guchekov pointed out sharply: "Didn't you think that in case Kornilov was completely in control of the situation, you would still have a chance at that time?" ”

This sentence entered Luo Jiangke's heart, with the support of Britain, France, the United States and Italy, and the military power inside, so if the situation cannot be controlled, then Kornilov is really a pig. Anyway, Luo Jiangke thought that if he could have such a good hand, then everything was under control.

"And what do you think I should do?" Luo Jiangke asked a little worriedly.

Guchkov smiled slightly and said categorically: "You must fight to save yourself, otherwise, you don't have any chance!" ”

So, this led to the previous meeting of "social activists", but what Luo Jiangko didn't expect was that Guchkov was simply an anti-bone boy, just to instigate his contradictions with Kornilov in order to achieve ulterior motives.

"Now that the big thing has not been accomplished, I am afraid it is inappropriate to provoke them to fight among themselves first, right?" Guchkov asked worriedly.

Shu Lijin smiled lightly: "Although the big thing has not been accomplished, it must also be prepared for a rainy day." Now with the support of the four countries, anyone who opposes us is a mantis arm to stop the car. In this case, we have to pick up the pace, nothing in advance! ”

Guchkov did not trust the governments of the four countries: "Can they be trusted?" Will you support the restoration of His Majesty? ”

Shu Lijin put away her smile and said seriously: "I'm afraid I won't be too supportive." For them, it would be nice to wish Russia shed a little more blood. And compared to His Majesty, Kornilov is much more controllable. They are probably more able to accept a military dictator in charge of Russia! ”

"And you're still working with them?" Guchkov was surprised.

"What if you don't cooperate?" Shu Lijin smiled bitterly, "Our strength is too weak, if we want to do this big thing, we must inevitably take advantage of it!" ”

"The question is, whether it's good to borrow or not!"

Shu Lijin said in a tough tone: "Don't talk about it later, the first thing is to reset His Majesty, and put those secondary issues aside!" ”

"This is not a secondary issue, if you let the ambassadors of the four countries know what your calculations are, I am afraid that we will be the first to be sacrificed!" Guchkov said angrily, "You are playing with fire!" ”

Shu Lijin sighed: "There's no way to play with fire, even if it's dancing on the tip of a knife, I admit it!" And judging from the current situation, they are not unaware! ”

Guchkov also sighed: "Hope! The umbrella distracted them so much, and you'll have to pray they haven't found it before our plan is exposed! ”

For this, Shu Lijin is full of confidence: "Don't worry, they will never find it." ”

"Why are you so sure?" Guchkov asked.

Shu Lijin said: "Although that old Jewish ghost is so-so, but his ability to hide is unmatched, we have dealt with him for decades, you should know very well his level of playing hide and seek." The British and French don't even want to find him! ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly smiled: "And I won't allow them to find him!" That umbrella is a gift from God to Russia, and with it, after His Majesty is restored, he will definitely be able to dominate the world! ”

Guchkov sighed, he really wanted to pour a basin of cold water on Shulijin, that damn umbrella is so easy to control, this time eight countries shot together, how many masters died, it barely subdued it, and it was simply delusional to control that umbrella with the power of one country or one person.

Guchekov's opinion on the plague umbrella is surprisingly consistent with Li Xiaofeng's, and they both think that it is a chicken rib for the time being, or a hot chicken rib. He persuaded Shu Lijin to give up several times, but he was already intoxicated by the bright prospects he had sketched and refused to face the reality.

"Forget it, let it go!"

Guchekov has a kind of visceral fatigue, after these months of tossing, he already feels unbearable, for a hope is that this farce will end soon, whether it is success or failure, just give a result immediately.

On 12 August, the State Council opened. Kornilov, Kalykin, and Alekseev, who represented the military forces, Rogenko, Milyukov, and Guchkov who represented the former State Duma, and Tseretieli and Tsykhze, who represented the Central Executive Committee of the Soviet Union, gathered in the Kremlin.

What is more interesting is that the reactionary bigwigs had hoped that Moscow would be a quiet city where they could hold meetings in peace. However, on the opening day of the conference, it was met with a strong counterattack from the Bolsheviks, and Stalin, in accordance with Lenin's instructions, drafted a manifesto against the "Moscow Conference", exposed the reactionary nature of the conference, and called on the people of all Russia to boycott the reactionary conference.

The manifesto was widely copied on the streets of Moscow, and 400,000 Moscow workers responded to the manifesto's call for a general strike. Mass demonstrations and strikes broke out simultaneously in Petrograd, Kip, Tsaritsyn (later Stalingrad), Kostroma, Kharkov, Samara (Kuibyshev).

In the midst of the opposition of the workers, the reactionary bigwigs, who were hiding in the Kremlin for meetings, did not seem to be affected in the slightest. In his opening speech, Kerensky openly declared that the workers' revolt would be suppressed with iron and blood, and that the continuation of the war and the establishment of "order" at home and in the army were the core tasks of his government.

Kornilov, for his part, repeatedly stressed the need for a military dictatorship throughout the country, the abolition of the spontaneously elected soldiers' councils in the Soviets and the army, the imposition of the death penalty not only in the front and rear, but also in the factories and in the fields, and the imposition of the strictest labor discipline in the factories and fields, and the militarization of railways and industry.

As soon as Kornilov's plan was thrown, the audience was immediately shocked, and the most shocking of them was the Cadets headed by Rodencko. This group of people were big landowners and big capitalists, and they controlled the entire economic lifeline of Russia. And Kornilov went so far as to demand the militarization of the country's industry, which was almost tantamount to directly robbing them of the industry.

Imagine if Kornilov had forcibly integrated Russia's transportation and industrial resources, he would have become the de facto new Tsar of Russia, even more powerful than the old Tsar. Such a situation was unacceptable not only to Rodenko, but also to Kerensky and Tseretiri and Zihze, who represented the Soviets.

Tseretiri and Tsikhzek expressed strong dissatisfaction and protest over Kornilov's proposal, and at this moment they seemed to have regained a little bit of their morale. However, their resistance was only met with ridicule and ridicule from Kornilov's ally Kalykin: "Didn't you, the socialist ministers, who could not control the situation on July 3, ask us to restore order in Russia?" Now, what we are doing is exactly what you want it to be! ”

That night, Lenin, who heard the news, wrote in his diary: This fact is the best proof that the Mensheviks and the Socialist Party have formed an alliance with the anti-** elements...... Not a single person dared to refute Kalygin at the Moscow conference, because he was telling the truth! Kalykin ridiculed the Mensheviks and the Socialists, and they could only remain silent. The Cossack generals spat on their faces, and they just wiped it, quibbling - this is holy water!

By the time this one-sided meeting was going on on 14 August, Tsikhze, who had attended the meeting on behalf of the Soviets, had lost all his courage and groveled to the enemy and wagged his tail and begged for mercy, and at the congress he read out the manifesto of the Central Executive Committee of the Soviets, saying that the Soviets had never sought political power or monopoly for themselves. It is ready to support all regimes that defend the country and the interests of **!

At the same time as Tsykhze, on behalf of the Central Executive Committee of the Soviets, read out the declaration. On Red Square, a few walls away, hundreds of thousands of workers and peasants were demonstrating strongly against the Soviets' position. Of course, these workers and soldiers could never have imagined that the Tsyhze, who was in the hall, was already viciously attacking them, saying that the Russian workers were too lazy and too unconscious, and demanded a resolute suppression of the evil deeds of "anarchism".

On the day of the closing of the meeting, US President Wilson, who was "shocked" at the good news of the successful conclusion of the conference, sent a congratulatory telegram promising all material and moral assistance to the Russian Government. A supplementary loan of $100 million was immediately provided. According to the government's royal press who attended the meeting, as long as Russia restores order and fights to the end, the generous Uncle Sam will provide a loan of five billion dollars!

On 15 August, upon returning to Petrograd, he immediately signed an urgent order -- in order to defend the motherland, the troops of the Riga front were urgently transferred back to Petrograd to quell the "riots." In accordance with his orders, a large number of soldiers and artillery from the Riga front began to withdraw from the front, and by August 20 he directly ordered the abandonment of Riga, and the Germans opened the gateway to Petrograd without firing a single shot.

While Kornilov was nervously transferring troops, he did not forget to let Shulykin spread rumors that the Bolsheviks would revolt on August 27, the day of the half-anniversary of February! (Teqiang)

"Our enemies are in full swing preparing to suppress **!" At an enlarged meeting of the Central Committee of the Bolsheviks, Lenin said straight to the point, "They are trying to repeat the events of July, and they are ready to completely strangle them!" Comrades, the situation is extremely urgent! ”

Lenin took a deep breath: "On the one hand, we must expose the enemy's conspiracy and exterminate the dog agents who spread rumors in the streets, as well as those who pretend to be workers and soldiers to indiscriminately incite the masses!" On the other hand, it is also necessary to be prepared for military struggle, and I propose that a military committee be formed at once! ”
