However, it is not so easy to fight a decisive battle, and although the armed forces in the St. Petersburg Duma will not be overwhelmed by the workers' pickets of the Social Workers' Party, they have no real advantage, and Prime Minister Karemykin is not very clear about the number of the latter.

The refugee camps outside the city are completely off-limits to the police, and it is difficult for even government agents to get in, and there are also the workers in the factories, who can join the fight at any time if they take up arms, and even some women and children may become armed men, and it is not impossible for the Social Workers Party to gather 100,000 armed men if needed.

And the Duma can only control the 50,000 mercenaries in total, the Czechs, Serbs, and Caucasians are a hodgepodge in short, these guys either betrayed their country, or there is no country at all, and they can only survive by selling their lives to others, loyalty is undoubted, as long as there is money, but the anger of the people in this team is also great, because they have no discipline at all, and the police dare not care, so it is very common to force women, go to restaurants and do not give money, etc., Even those who do not like the Social Workers in St. Petersburg are disgusted with them, that is, if they really fight, these people will not receive help from the people.

In short, the decisive battle is a very uncertain thing.

But if you can't get a loan, if you drag it out any longer, the Duma will definitely lose, and the reason is very simple, because at this time, nearly 4 million Russian troops who were originally on the front lines have begun to be dismantled, and Russia is only allowed to retain 300,000 land forces, which means that 90 percent of the existing army has to be reduced. If we can't come up with enough resettlement costs, these retrenched Russian troops will probably fall to the Social Workers without hesitation, and there is no doubt about this, just look at the mutinies in various places.

At that point, there will be no hope for the Duma.

"My attitude towards the Russian Social Workers? I don't actually know much about them. You also know that I have always disliked this nonsense, I am a very simple person, I fear my ancestors, I believe in God, I love the people, although I am also a scientist, but I also hate those who have no faith.

All you want to ask is my opinion on the current situation in Russia, and I can assure you and the deputies of the Duma that I will not allow the flag of any monarch in this world to fall, and the constitutional monarchy of the Russian Empire is a member of the United Nations. As if China were brothers, any attempt to subvert the only legitimate Russian Government would not be tolerated by China and all members of the United Nations, and if necessary, China would provide assistance, including military support, at the invitation of your Government. Yang Feng said to Grand Duke Mikhail, who asked him to consult this issue.

The implication is clear: if the Social Workers dare to launch a rebellion, then China is willing to intervene as long as Russia invites it.

With his assurances. The capitalists in the Russian Duma were reassured that although a civil war would cause further damage to Russia, it would be worth the price as long as the cancer of the Social Workers Party could be eradicated. As for how many ordinary people die, there is no need to think about it, who made them like the Social Workers so much, it is not a big deal to thoroughly cleanse Russia with blood, if not so. Once the Social Workers Party came to power, then the aristocracy, the capitalists. The landlords had only one way to die.

In this way, the Russian Duma finally made up its mind, and Count Witte, the finance minister of the Karemykin government, was personally in charge and began substantive negotiations with the People's Bank of China in Beijing on loans; unlike Britain and France, Russia had a relatively large number of loans, and since it was a traitor, it simply sold them thoroughly, and Russia borrowed 20 billion Chinese dollars from the People's Bank at a time. This money was not only used to return the first indemnity, but also to the cost of the demobilization and resettlement of the Russian army, the deposit for the return of the ruble to the gold standard, the cost of maintaining Russia's financial operations, in short, to use this huge amount of money to fully restore order in Russia.

"You say that William has helped Vladimir?" Just as the negotiations between the two sides were in progress, Emperor Yang also got a very interesting news.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" "As far as the minister knows, the Social Workers had received a sum of 20 million Chinese dollars, which was the main support for them to maintain the workers' pickets and to win the hearts and minds of the people during this time, and it is likely that the Germans were also providing them with arms support," Lin said. ”

He has cooperated with the Social Workers Party for so many years, and naturally he will not fail to bury a few nails in the Social Workers Party, and it is not difficult to get some inside information.

"It seems that our secret war with the Germans has begun." Yang Feng said with a smile, but William's approach is understandable, no matter from what point of view, supporting a pro-German puppet in Russia is what he must do, Yang Feng's encirclement of Germany with the minds of the Germans will certainly not be invisible, and now Germany is surrounded by Yang Feng's puppets or semi-puppets, and Russia is the only one that has not completely fallen into the hands of Yang Feng, and this must be fought for.

But the current appearance of the Russian government is obviously going all out to rush towards Yang Feng's arms, in the end, Yang Feng is richer than him, then he can only support the Social Workers, not to mention that even if it is impossible to capture Russia in his own hands, at least it can cause further damage to the country, for Germany, this money is very worthwhile.

"The Killer is a good thing!" Emperor Yang couldn't help but sigh, but he definitely would not interfere with William, this kind of thing is also very good for him, the stronger the SWD, the longer the civil war in Russia will drag on, the greater the damage will be to the country, the weaker Russia will be after the war, and the more convenient it will be for China to control.

In this way, the two conspirators, one east and one west, very tacitly pushed Russia into the abyss of civil war.

In Beijing, in the conference hall of the headquarters of the People's Bank of China, in front of the cameras of journalists from various countries, Count Witte, Minister of Finance of the Russian Empire, formally signed a loan agreement totaling 20 billion Chinese dollars.

However, even if it is such an agreement, they can actually get not much in the end, because there are 10 billion Chinese dollars that need to be used as indemnity by the People's Bank of China to help them transfer to the accounts of other victorious countries in this bank, and at present, the People's Bank of China acts as an agent for the reparations business of the Entente countries, and there is also a part that needs to be directly left in China to buy all kinds of materials urgently needed by Russia, and the cash that can finally be handed over to Count Witte is actually only one-third at most, This huge amount of money will be delivered to St. Petersburg and Moscow in batches over the course of a month, mainly because the printing press of the People's Bank of China is too busy.

Of course, it's all small details.

"Fellow citizens, look at what this shameless government has done? They sold the country like crazy, twenty-one, a whole twenty-one, each of which was a noose around our necks, each of which was a locust used by the Chinese to suck our blood dry, and from now on there was no Russia, there was no Russia, we became slaves of the Chinese, and we were their slaves for generations, and those shameless capitalists and landlords sold Russia with such a criminal agreement, in exchange for their glory and wealth, in exchange for the bones rewarded by their masters, and we, the Russian people, will forever survive in the filthy mire.

We don't agree, the free Russian people definitely don't agree, we don't want the emperor, we don't want capitalists, we don't want foreign invaders, Russia is ours, it is the Russian people, take up our arms, overthrow this government that has lost power and humiliated the country, hang the tsar who betrayed the country, and shoot the prime minister who betrayed the people! ”

In a square in the district controlled by the St. Petersburg Social Workers' Party, with the signing ceremony broadcast live next to it, Comrade Vladimir stood on a high platform, holding a Chinese-made megaphone in his hand, roaring hoarsely like a vendor in a bazaar, his excited voice trembling a little.

In front of him, countless Russian patriots were listening with grief and indignation to the mortgage clauses on the radio, and some members of the Social Labour Party were in the crowd explaining to their compatriots who did not understand these things what they meant. For example, the monopoly of tobacco and alcohol, whether you smoke or drink in the future, you can only buy it from the state-run tobacco and alcohol supply company, and this company is mortgaged to the People's Bank of China as a loan, and the People's Bank can sell as much as the People's Bank wants, even if they raise the price of vodka by ten times, you have no right to choose, if anyone dares to sell wine without permission, then the police will throw him directly into prison.

Needless to say, this article alone can make those Russian patriotic people angry, and they can't go and kill Count Witte who signed now, of course, they won't know that according to the agreement between Yang Feng and Grand Duke Mikhail, this article only needs to be maintained for two years at most, and the People's Bank will cancel this clause after two years.

Moreover, in the future, he will encourage the Russian people to develop in tobacco and alcohol, and even encourage Chinese businessmen to invest in the construction of such factories in Russia, which is the most useless industry, and he has never liked to support this kind of industry in China, so it is undoubtedly the most suitable for the Russians to be the supply base of tobacco and alcohol in China.
