When I arrived at the presidential palace in a hurry after receiving the call, the conference room was already packed. Not only Tang Shaoyi and Sa Zhenbing are here, but even Xu Xiujun, Cai Gongshi and Yang Du have also rushed to the presidential palace as soon as they got the news, if it weren't for Zhan Tianyou personally going to the Mongolian Plateau to supervise the construction of the railway, it is estimated that he will also come, because the Baoku railway he supervised is the top priority today, in order to open up this line, the Republic of China government even had to stop several other railway projects to fully cooperate.

The moment Yang Qiu walked into the conference room, all eyes were focused on his tall, thin and tall figure.

Whenever he decides to take the last step, everyone must admit that he is the pillar at this moment! He laid the foundation for the reunification of the whole country, fought the Sino-Japanese War, and personally promoted the Entente for Accession to the United Nations, and he used technology, politics, and military dispatch to get back the lack of industry to the current beginning, and even most of the country's fiscal and tax growth was closely related to his strategy.

Therefore, when Lu Zhengxiang sent back the news that the revolution had broken out again in Russia, and that the poor party had seized power by armed forces and was openly about withdrawing from the war, everyone except a few people panicked. Non-core personnel like Cai Yuanpei and Zhang Jizhi are even more panicked. Because no matter how stupid people are, if Russia really withdraws from the war, I am afraid that the pressure on France will increase several times, and when the time comes, the millions of German and Austrian troops will turn to the Western Front, which is not something that a few hundred thousand expeditionary forces can deal with. As for the U.S. military, everyone is even more worried, because judging from the news sent back by Yue Peng and Wang Zhengting one after another, it is not so much that they are volunteers but millions of adventurous American cowboys, not to mention that it also involves geopolitics and 100,000 soldiers of the Eastern Front!

Wang Anlan grabbed the telegram, the former deacon of the 21st mixed form of the Hubei New Army After Li Yuanhong sat firmly on the president, the position of the presidential secretary became more and more stable, but he didn't know that he was close to Zhu Zhechi, and he actually had a fight with Li Yuanhong. I saw him walk quickly to Yang Qiu's side and hand over the telegram: "Vice President, this is an urgent telegram sent back by Lu Zhengxiang." ”

Unlike everyone who was nervous, Yang Qiu was calm and serious on the surface, but he really wanted to shout twice excitedly. It's finally time for this day! What did you work so hard to send troops to the Western Front? Isn't it just to make a name for yourself and let the Western world weigh its own weight! Whether it's distant Africa or a few small German-colonized islands in the Pacific. It's not something that the current Republic of China can touch, even if Britain and France give it to themselves, they can control it? So he set his sights on the north from the beginning!

Sakhalin - Vladivostok - Boli - Chita - Lake Berga - Irkutsk - Balkhash Territory! These long-lost and even forgotten places by the vast majority of Chinese people are the target! He quickly exchanged glances with Song Ziqing, the sunrise plan was planned and drafted by the two of them together, so they tacitly slightly hooked the corners of their mouths, and in an instant, they returned to seriousness and calmness.

"Ziqing. What happened to the reserve division supporting the 2nd Expeditionary Force? ”

He didn't ask about the situation at first, but he cared about the 15 reserve divisions that were originally going to be put into the Eastern Front, which made Cai Yuanpei and others faintly feel that something was wrong. At this time, it is impossible to surrender troops to the Eastern Front, do you want to intervene in the Russian regime by force? This is no small feat! It has only been five years since the reunification of the Republic of China, and it is almost impossible to interfere in a neighboring small country, but it is absolutely impossible to interfere with Russia, which spans more than 10,000 kilometers! For now, it is fighting to support the five divisions that entered Russia. There has been a huge investment in domestic logistics, and half of the materials transported each time will be consumed on the road, and if we go to 15 more divisions, won't the family funds saved by using Europe in the past few years have to be filled into this bottomless pit?

Song Ziqing was one of the very few people here who knew all about the sunrise plan, so regardless of those surprised eyes, he got up and walked to the map: "Before I came, I had already ordered the Northeast Theater to enter the guard. At present, 5 of the 15 reserve divisions are cooperating with the Ministry of Railways to build the Baoku Railway day and night, and Chen Yan and 2 light divisions are preparing to take 30 trains to the Urals, which were supposed to arrive at Manzhouli Station in four days. Xu Shuzheng's two divisions arrived in Kulen in August. The remaining six divisions are on standby in Harbin and Changchun. The training of all divisions has been completed and is ready to be put into action. In addition, yesterday's telegram said that Songpa had departed from Marseille to return home. I will be able to get to Shanghai at the beginning of the month. ”

Yang Qiu quickly walked to the map. He knew best what the purpose of Chen Eun's trip was, his task was to continue to increase troops as a disguise, and when the first trains arrived in Irkutsk, he would immediately start with the troops of Chita and Uland! It is impossible for the three places, where the garrisons are sparse and unsuspecting, to block the sneak attack of 2 divisions, not to mention that there are 2 divisions of Xu Shuzheng who can support. After taking the three places, there will be two divisions to the north to control Omsk and Tomsk, so that the Trans-Siberian railway can be basically secured, and the Russian army coming from Vladivostok and Boli can also be guarded against. As for the poor partisan threat, the threat is not very great, because the operation of the Dragon's Tooth in the North in the past few years has basically destroyed their power in the Far East, and the Security Service has already infiltrated it. However, the Mongol rebels operating in that area had some strength. If you get mixed up with the poor party guerrillas, it will be a headache. But with 4 divisions stationed, and 2 or 3 divisions can be added in the future, they can't turn the sky for the time being! Originally, he was still worried about who would lead the sunrise plan, but Cai Yi's return was a relief for his urgent need.

Thinking of this, he immediately looked at Li Yuanhong, after all, he was the rightful president. The latter was very satisfied with Yang Qiu's attitude of looking at himself first, but he knew his own affairs, and he could still call the shots by the officials below. This kind of thing involving external competition is definitely not what he is good at, and he can't control it at all, so he smiled: "Although Chenhua says it, Shaochuan and I can still take care of some things." ”

After getting this sentence, Yang Qiu immediately looked around at everyone and said: "This Russian armed coup is not trivial, I believe that the British and French sides have been chaotic, and we also need to immediately send people to France to negotiate the follow-up, as for the candidates." ”

Tang Shaoyi saw him looking at him, understood his thoughts, and interrupted: "The north is not resting and needs Chenhua to be in charge, so you might as well let me go to France." ”

Yang Qiu nodded, the sunrise plan was planned by him, so he had to stay in China, Wu Tingfang was basically in a semi-retired state after returning from Russia, so Tang Shaoyi went was the best choice. He glanced at Yang Du and said, "Huizi and Gu Weijun will go together." Yang Du was very happy to hear this, he had been assisting in handling the internal party affairs of the State Society before, and his identity was somewhat similar to that of a staff member, but this visit with Tang Shaoyi meant that he had entered the core political circle of the Republic of China, so he quickly nodded and said that he would definitely live up to his trust.

After deciding that Tang Shaoyi would go to Europe to bargain, Yang Qiu continued: "Immediately send a telegram to the Northeast Theater, asking Zhang Zuolin to take two divisions to move towards Fujinkou, and Jiang Zuobin to Hailar. Tell Cai Jimin to strengthen the security along the Yalu River and the Tumen River, and then send someone to find Zhang Zongchang. Keep an eye on the Japanese troops stationed in North Korea, and report the slightest change immediately! The Ministry of Foreign Affairs must mobilize all of its forces and contact Britain, France, and the United States to inform them of the tense situation on the Eastern Front, and it is necessary to ensure the safety of our troops! Telegraph Shi Xiaolou and Li Liejun. From now on, their job is to ensure the safety of the troops, and as long as this is met, all necessary measures can be taken! Then send a telegram to Lu Zhengxiang, saying that he must fully cooperate with Britain, France, and the United States to carry out active diplomacy, and ask him to use all means to contact the local overseas Chinese to transfer to the Urals, and be ready to sever diplomatic relations and withdraw the embassy at any time. ”

"Broken Relations?!"

Amid the horror of the crowd, the political circles of St. Petersburg were completely confused. Even though they knew that relations between the Poor Party and the Russian Provisional Government were strained, none of the diplomats, including the British ambassador, Lord Carroll, could have imagined that they would eventually take the form of an armed seizure of power. And so. The diplomatic convoy flying the flags of the Entente countries began to shuttle back and forth, and Lu Zhengxiang naturally could not lag behind others at this time, not to mention that compared with the dry Britain and France, China still has a "big army" in Russia, so it has a lot more right to speak.

The joint convoy of the Entente ambassadors soon arrived in front of the Winter Palace, and Lu Zhengxiang and the ambassadors soon met the high-spirited Lenin in the living room on the second floor.

As the ambassador of the world's most powerful nation, Lord Carroll was undoubtedly the leader of everyone, and he bowed gracefully. However, he put the "Russian Reaccession Agreement" reached between Yang Qiu and the Russian Provisional Government on the coffee table, and asked mercilessly in front of reporters: "Your Excellency Vladimir, we don't want to interfere in your internal affairs. But as allies, we need to determine if this agreement is still valid! ”

The ambassadors of the United States and France beside him were equally serious. The former had just entered the war, and millions of troops were still being transported to the Western Front, so naturally they did not want to end up with a complete defeat. And the latter hated to bite Lenin to death! The Western Front was on French soil, and if Russia withdrew, millions of German-Austrian troops would pour in. What's more! France has always been the largest investor and beneficiary of Russia, and if the poor party finally does not recognize the Entente and withdraw from the war, tens of billions of francs will be lost.

Lenin did not know how much pressure there was, because these people in front of him represented the power of most of the world! Especially when there are still 100,000 Chinese expeditionary forces in Ukraine and the Urals, the slightest mistake will lead to the destruction of the new regime. But he can't show weakness on this issue. The people supported him because he promised to end the war and give everyone bread. So it is necessary to delay, to put it on until it is firmly established: "I cannot decide on this, the All-Russian Congress of Engineers and Soldiers has already decided to hold new elections as soon as possible, and it is necessary to wait for the end of the elections to be decided by the new government." ”

He thought very simply, as long as he won the general election, he could delay it for about half a year under the pretext that the new government had just been formed. With half a year of hard work, he will be able to gain a firm foothold and not be afraid of any external forces. But Carroll didn't budge: "So when will there be an election?" ”

"The election will start in three days."

"We demand the right to monitor the general election!"

"We don't hide the results."

“。”

Lord Carroll pressed forward step by step, Lenin also competed with each other, and reporters from the United States and Russia next to him recorded this brief confrontation with their pens. But the attentive Lu Zhengxiang could still see the oil oozing from his forehead. Towards the end of the discussion on the general election, he stood up and looked around with a solemn gaze: "Your Excellency Lenin, I have only one last question!" If you lose the election, what is your position? ”

The ambassadors raised their heads one after another, and the sensitive reporters pricked up their ears and turned their eyes to Lenin, who was slightly stunned and quickly stood up as well: "Even if we lose the election, we will obey the people's choice." ”

"Very well, remember your promise."

As the sound fell, the air in St. Petersburg instantly froze. All eyes are on the start of the general election in three days. Will the poor party, if elected, withdraw from the war, as their manifesto suggests, or will it take another path? Yang Qiu, who has already gotten on the train to Fengtian, is waiting! All of Russia is waiting! Britain and France are waiting! The United States is also waiting! The eyes of the whole world are wide as they await the outcome of this election, which may affect the future of the world! …… (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
