"No longer allies?" Yan Shao's words made Song Jiaoren feel a little stunned, and at the same time made him feel a little ridiculous and even whimsical. After all, before the Provisional Government itself announced its withdrawal from the Entente, even if the original Romanov dynasty had fallen and Tsarist Russia had become history, the current Russia had always been a real member of the Entente, how could it be that it was no longer an ally.

Unless...

"Do you mean that you want to push for the expulsion of Russia from the Entente camp within the Entente?" After thinking about it for a long time, Song Jiaoren said.

However, listening to Song Jiaoren's words, Yan Shao couldn't help but laugh.

Facing Yan Shao's laughter, Song Jiaoren blushed slightly, but he still looked at Yan Shao, wanting to hear what his explanation was.

Looking at Song Jiaoren, Yan Shao shook his head. "Of course not, in fact, Britain and the United States and other countries are unlikely to kick Russia out of the Entente, after all, they still need Russia to contain Germany on the Eastern Front, although it is unlikely that Russia can achieve this task well, but at least it is no problem to contain hundreds of thousands of German troops. Hundreds of thousands, for the whole war may not be a lot, but it is definitely not a small number, how could Britain and France take the initiative to kick Russia out, can ......... What if it was Russia itself that withdrew from the Entente? ”

Hearing Yan Shao say this, Song Jiaoren seemed to be a little abrupt, indeed, this is not without such a possibility, in fact, Russia just had another change not long ago. Because of the opposition to the continuation of the European war, the original provisional government has fallen, and now it is in power for the second time.

Of course. Even in the second provisional government, the Russian Communist Party was still a very small minority party in this government. At the same time, seeing that Song Jiaoren seemed to understand a little. Yan Shao hurriedly explained his plan.

When Song Jiaoren heard that Yan Shao planned to fund the Russian Communist Party and help it replace the existing bourgeois government, Song Jiaoren, who finally understood Yan Shao's intentions, was dumbfounded, because he could never have imagined that Yan Shao would actually support the Russian Communist Party, and he had already begun to do so...

"You!" Pointing at Yan Shao, Song Jiaoren was a little speechless for a while, and looked at Song Jiaoren's appearance. Yan Shao said with a smile. "How? I've got a good plan, isn't it..."

"But......... Support the Russian Communist Party, you are risking the world's condemnation! And I always have to inform the Congress of such a big thing, but ......"

"I know. So what. Yan Shao said with some disapproval. The Japanese also supported the Russian Communist Party back then, but it didn't matter, but this time I just supported it a little harder, as for the Diet......... What can they build yì? And wouldn't notifying them be the same as notifying everyone? How could that happen? ”

"And you think about it. As long as the Russian Communist Party is supported to come to power. Then the British and American powers will certainly be very hostile to this government, and even Germany will probably do the same, and perhaps these countries will send troops to Russia together in an attempt to destroy this Bolshevik regime, and then it will seem natural and even very legitimate for us to send troops to the Far East..."

After being silent, Song Jiaoren had to admit that Yan Shao was right, because he knew very well that those powers were very jealous of organizations like the Russian Communist Party. In fact, even Song Jiaoren. Although I am not disgusted with communism or anything, I will not appreciate it either. After all, what he advocates is the cabinet system, and even the current system is a little unpleasant, let alone communist?

However, after being silent for a while, Song Jiaoren opened his mouth to ask Yan Shao another question.

"So......... President, what are you sending troops to the Northwest for? Also, is this expansion of more than a million people really for the purpose of sending to Europe? After just a moment of silence, Song Jiaoren very cleverly asked another question.

Hearing Song Jiaoren's words, Yan Shao smiled with great appreciation. "Do you want to increase troops to the northwest, it's the same as increasing troops to the northeast, but to increase troops to the northeast in order to recover the Outer Khing'an Mountains in the future, as for the northwest, I want to see if there is anything cheap to take advantage of at that time, after all, when the Russian Communist Party comes to power, we will have a very legitimate reason to use troops against Russia, such a good opportunity, wouldn't it be a pity not to take advantage of it..."

"Are you preparing more than a million people to take advantage?" I didn't know that Yan Shao's so-called advantage was actually planning to plot against the whole of Siberia and a considerable part of Central Asia, Song Jiaoren couldn't help but speak.

"That's right." Yan Shao said very directly. "After all, the domestic troops are either sent to Europe, or they must stay in the country to take care of the family, whether it is to recover the Outer Khing'an Mountains or take advantage of them, there must be some troops, and ......... Don't you think that such a large country with only a few hundred thousand troops is a bit insufficient? In my opinion, at least 1.5 million troops are needed, and the country's financial development has been good in recent years, because with the support of Britain and the United States, we are not under great pressure in this war, and we can afford such a large force..."

"But haven't you thought about the reaction of the British and American powers? If it's just the Outer Khing'an Mountains, it's nothing, but if you send troops from the northwest..."

"What's the matter, we have contributed a lot to this war, and there is every reason to get our own interests, not to mention that when we send troops, even if Britain and the United States have some opinions, can they still stop us, and in the end, we can only acquiesce, and the most important thing is ......... We are doing it to the proletarian government of the Russian Communist Party, and I am afraid that Britain and the United States are most happy to see it, not to mention that, as I said earlier, they are worried that we will take action against their colonies in the south. ”

"This..."

was dumbfounded for a while, and in his heart, Song Jiaoren couldn't help but admit that what Yan Shao said was right...

At the same time, Yan Shao was the way to pursue the victory. "And you have to think about it, if you miss this opportunity, we may not be able to wait for the next opportunity, Wai Xing'an Mountains, that's almost 600,000 square kilometers of land! If you don't seize this opportunity, wait until the situation in Russia stabilizes. It's not so easy for us to get this land back, and even if we do, the losses we have to pay by then will not be comparable to what we have now. What you can get now for 10,000 people is unlikely to be available in the future even if you sacrifice 100,000 people..."

Under Yan Shao's persuasion, Song Jiaoren's attitude was obviously relaxed.

The political families of this era are different from later generations, if the political families of this era say that they are not shaken for fame and fortune at all, it is impossible, but it is similar to 'throwing pen from Rong', many of them will choose politics in this era, and many of them are to make the country strong. Of course, the reconquest of lost territory is also a part of the country's strength, so Song Jiaoren is not opposed to such a thing as recovering the Outer Khingan Mountains. Just against rash action...

However, Yan Shao's words moved Song Jiaoren.

Indeed, if you don't grasp this opportunity, you will want to recover the Outer Khing'an Mountains in the future. The price to be paid is probably not comparable to today's. Case. It's better to have a strong man break his wrist, even if he pays some losses, he must take this opportunity to recover the lost ground.

Moreover, even Song Jiaoren himself did not think that the great powers would turn against China for a little advantage in the Outer Khing'an Mountains and the northwest region.

Of course, this is also because Yan Shao was very smart and did not mention his real plan to Song Jiaoren, otherwise Song Jiaoren would never have agreed. After all, all he agreed with was to regain lost territory and take advantage of something, and he would never agree to such a risky thing as the direct occupation of all of Siberia. After all, Song Jiaoren has always been a very steady person, and it is impossible for him to agree to such a risky behavior...

And see Song Jiaoren's attitude. Yan Shao was also a little happy, because it meant that at least the opposition in the cabinet had disappeared. His actions will also be less hindered.

However, he also knew that the next action must be secret, and all of them must be packaged in the existing plan, and the real plan hidden below must not be known, otherwise...

The opposition will definitely surge...

After finally convincing Song Jiaoren after a lot of lip and tongue, Yan Shao talked to him about some recent domestic corruption. I have to say that because of the expansion of the National Socialist Party at the beginning, many low-level and indiscriminate figures have also been brought into the National Socialist Party, and in addition, the National Socialist Party itself is the largest political party in the country, and the good and the bad are uneven, and the final result is that the most people arrested by the Ministry of Integrity every year are the National Socialist Party.

Fortunately, with such an excellent woodpecker as Song Jiaoren, Yan Shao does not have to worry about the Kuomintang becoming the same as the Kuomintang in history. So in private, Yan Shao gave Song Jiaoren a fierce encouragement, and at the same time gave great support.

With Yan Shao's support, Song Jiaoren was naturally very happy.

And although he was a little dissatisfied with the existing system of the national government, Song Jiaoren still admired Yan Shao very much in this regard. For Song Jiaoren, if the cabinet system cannot be implemented, then...

Catch all the corrupt officials in the world, this choice seems to be very good?

――――――――――――――――――――――――

Just when Yan Shao was still happy about the success of persuading Song Jiaoren, in St. Petersburg, Russia, Luo Wenying, who had already received the order, also began to take action.

At this time, although the original Tsarist Russia had been overthrown, the streets of St. Petersburg were no different from the original, and even ......... It could be a little worse and a little more confusing.

This is not surprising, after all, this kind of chaos is not something that can be changed immediately by a change of government, and it will take some time to overdo it. Moreover, even the current government has failed to meet the most basic demands of the Russian people―――――― to stop the war in Europe.

With the blood still bleeding on the front lines, it is difficult to say that there will be changes in the economy and people's livelihoods, or if the situation changes, it would be a strange thing.

But the people of Russia do not understand this, they only know that since there has been a change of government, life should change immediately. That's right, not a year, not half a year, not a month or two months, but immediately, after the change of government, not as it is now.

It's just that the government has only been changed for a short time, so for the time being, the dissatisfaction of the Russian people is only accumulating, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that if this situation continues, sooner or later, chaos like the one in February will happen...

At least, Luo Wenying can see it...

But none of this had anything to do with him. After all, he is a Chinese, not a Russian. It's just that after witnessing this chaos with her own eyes, Luo Wenying has become more and more satisfied with the domestic situation, although the republic in China is still far away. But at least the people's lives are far more stable than here, and in the eyes of Luo Wenying, who has experienced the two periods of the late Qing Dynasty and Xinhai, this is probably more real than anything else.

"It's still not much that has changed..."Walking through the streets of St. Petersburg, looking at the city that still looks very dilapidated, Luo Wenying sighed slightly.

At this moment, there were four people following behind him. It's just that unlike before the February Revolution, he doesn't need to hide his head and tail as he did in the past. Instead, you can walk on the street blatantly and don't need to worry about anyone's embarrassment.

Who called the former Romanov dynasty has been overthrown, and the new government has come to power. But they don't care much at all, to be exact, they don't have the time and experience to care about them foreigners...

So foreigners like Luo Wenying can wander the streets at will. And there is no need to worry about being interrogated and arrested by the Russian police as in the past...

Of course. In view of the chaotic situation in Russia today, and the fact that the Russians are not good people in the first place, it is more or less necessary to worry about whether there will be any 'Liangshan heroes' jumping out to block the road and rob them...

However, Luo Wenying and the others are also strictly trained agents, not to mention that they also have some weapons on their bodies, so strolling on the streets at the moment is also a bit bold.

And most importantly...

They are now guests of the Russian Communist Party, and it is impossible for the Russian Communist Party to allow its guests to have any accidents happen on their own land.

Now. Just on the street, several middle-aged men who were obviously Russian communists met Luo Wenying and a few others. He greeted him with a visibly smile on his face.

"Mr. Luo, we were ordered to take you there..."

To them, Luo Wenying was also polite. "Then I'm sorry for you..."

In fact, Luo Wenying also knew very well that if there were no people in front of them to lead the way, it would not be easy for them to reach their destination. No matter how unprofessional the Russians are, it will take some work to do it, and in this case, it is better to let them go in directly.

Anyway, they had already proven themselves in the past few years, and there was no need to make a debut ceremony that would surprise these Russians.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Under the guidance of those people, Luo Wenying and others soon came to the headquarters of the Russian Communist Party in St. Petersburg.

In front of the gate of the headquarters, Luo Wenying and others saw Molotov with a shell skull...

"Luo, you're finally here..."

Seeing Luo Wenying and the others, Molotov 'enthusiastically' stretched out his arms to greet him, and then hugged Luo Wenying fiercely―――――― but to be honest, the stiff smile on Molotov's face could be seen even by a three-year-old child.

However, the strength of his hug still made Luo Wenying feel his 'enthusiasm'...

After hugging Luo Wenying and the others, Molotov led them inside, speaking as he went. "Comrade Lenin has been waiting to see you since he returned from overseas not long ago, and after hearing about the help of our Chinese friends, he has always wanted to meet you, but because the new government was formed, and there are still many things for him to do, he has not been free, and now he has finally found time, so let me find a way to invite you to come and meet you..."

"Comrade Lenin," Luo Wenying smiled slightly. I have also known Comrade Lenin for a long time, and I have long wanted to meet him, and now I have got what I wanted..."

Hearing Luo Wenying's words, Molotov laughed, and then led them to continue inside.

With Molotov leading the way, there was no one to stop them along the way, and soon they came to an office in the depths of the headquarters, where they met Lenin.

At least one thing that Lo Wenying did not lie to Molotov was that he really wanted to meet Lenin as a person.

Although he had not met Luo Wenying, after seeing that he had been brought in by Molotov, Lenin quickly recognized his identity and stood up from his seat with a warm smile on his face.

Unlike Molotov, even Luo Wenying could feel Lenin's enthusiasm and his sincere smile. However, it is not surprising if Lenin was about the same as Molotov. There is always a stiff smile on his face, and I am afraid that the Russian Communist Party will not develop to the point where it is today ...

"I have long heard from Comrade Molotov that Chinese friends have helped us, and now we have finally seen it..." Lenin said to Luo Wenying with a smile on his face.

"Where..."Luo Wenying quickly shook her head. On the way here, I said to Comrade Molotov that I had long wanted to meet you, and now I have finally got what I wanted..."

Hearing Luo Wenying say this, Lenin also laughed, and then led him to the seat in front of the desk...

“……… The Russian people will never forget the help given to us by our Chinese friends in this revolution until the revolution is over. We will certainly abolish the unequal treaty between the tsarist government and China in the past, and we will return all the land we once occupied..."Although there was a distance between them, Luo Wenying still felt Lenin's sincerity very lightly.

However, although I was more or less moved in my heart. But Luo Wenying didn't believe much in Lenin's words. It's not that he doesn't believe in Lenin, it's just...

Even if Lenin agreed to return it, what about the rest of the Russians?

Lived in Russia for so many years. Luo Wenying is still very clear about the greed of the Russians. It is even more clear that even if Lenin wanted to. I'm afraid I won't be able to get past the other Russians.

But even so, Luo Wenying's face still showed a touched look.

"If that's the case, that's great..."

Looking at Luo Wenying's appearance, Lenin smiled, and then exchanged pleasantries with him for a while.

It took a while for Lenin to get to the point.

"The Russian people will always remember the help of their Chinese friends, but ......... Although now the Romanov dynasty has fallen. But the Provisional Government is still an anti-people bourgeois government, discarding the Russian people's desire to stop the war. Therefore, in order to be able to stop this war, I hope that my Chinese friends can give some help..."Speaking of this, Lenin looked at Luo Wenying with some eagerness.

Lenin listened a lot to the abilities of these Chinese, even on the way home.

The February Revolution did make a lot of contributions to the Russian Communist Party, but in fact the Russian Communist Party occupies only a small position in Russia today, which is obviously not in line with the contribution of the Russian Communist Party. It's just that at the political level, the power of the Russian Communist Party is still too small after all, so Lenin shifted his attention to these Chinese...

"Please rest assured of this..."Looking at Lenin, Luo Wenying said with a smile. The Chinese people will, as always, support the Russian people and support the Russian Bolsheviks, and in fact not long ago a telegram was sent from China asking us to continue to help the Russian people..."

Hearing Luo Wenying say this, Lenin was overjoyed. "That's great!" Even Molotov on the side showed a happy expression, after all, he knew very well how powerful the Chinese in front of him was.

After talking for a while, Luo Wenying said goodbye and went back to make some preparations.

It was only on the way out of the headquarters of the Russian Communist Party that he saw a bearded middle-aged man.

Although Luo Wenying hadn't seen this person in the past, he didn't know why, he always couldn't help but focus on this man until after leaving...

At the same time, in the office he had just left, Lenin was pleased with the man who had just entered.

"Comrade Stalin, you have finally arrived ..."

"Comrade Lenin, who are those people just now?"

"Oh, that's right..."

Closing the door, Lenin and Stalin whispered.

――――――――――――――――――――

A few days later, Luo Wenying provided at least 100,000 pounds of financial support to the Russian Bolsheviks, and at the same time, a series of scandals were suddenly revealed to many people in the upper echelons of the Provisional Government, and almost in the blink of an eye, the prestige of the Provisional Government plummeted...

Naturally, the Provisional Government did not believe that this was an accident, but in the process of tracing it, it was never able to find anything...

However, the people in the provisional government are not all idiots, and they soon found out that this matter may be related to the Russian Communist Party, after all, in this turmoil, only the Russian Communist Party has not been damaged in the slightest, and the current provisional government quickly planned to deal with the Russian Communist Party, and this is exactly what Luo Wenying hoped...

Because only in this way can the Russian Communist Party's dependence on it be increased, and you must know that the domestic orders given to him are not just to help the Russian Communist Party. (To be continued......)
