Chapter 31 Borrowing a Fulcrum

Mr. Sadaoyi knew that London was very nervous right now, and it should be said that the whole world was very nervous. The Western countries are basically capitalist and the capitalist system protects the interests of the bourgeoisie, and they certainly do not have the consciousness to protect the interests of the workers in this era, and this is the main reason why Trotsky was able to respond quickly.

When Sadaoyi and Mulmer met just now, the Germans surprisingly did not give the British a look. At the beginning of the Russian upheaval, the Germans were still thinking of choosing between Trotsky and Kurensky, but now they no longer have to choose, and it is better to cooperate with Trotsky than to negotiate the agreement with Nicholas II.

Of course, Murmer would not have foolishly told Sadaoyi that he had already spoken to Yang Xiaolin, and Mr. Sadaoyi asked whether it was possible for Germany to put aside its prejudices and, however hostile we may be, to stop the flood caused by Trotsky.

Britain and Germany are also negotiating on this matter, and the general policy is to be discussed by the European side, and what they want to discuss here is whether they can adopt a unified opinion on the attitude towards China. If you want to settle Russia's affairs, you can't bypass the threshold of China, and the British know this very well.

They may have been willing to accept China's neutrality, because as long as the Chinese ministry was on the side of Germany, Britain and France felt that they could still control Russian affairs. In a way, they even want China to be neutral.

But this is no longer the case, as far as the current political crisis in Russia is concerned, and it is not just a struggle between two bandit groups, but a new ideology has suddenly emerged, challenging their present constitution. The British Empire, as the current leader of the Western world, has the obligation to prevent Russia from turning into a sea of red, and even more importantly, to prevent this red tide from spreading to Europe.

The British Empire now has this ability, he has not yet experienced the devastation of the First World War, and if he is willing to go all out, the Russian comrades will surely lose. There is not the slightest suspense at this point, just like if he really sent troops to fight in China, the only suspense for Yang Xiaolin was how long he would last.

But the British were reluctant to do this, and they now needed to conserve their physical strength and energy against the Germans. On the issue of China, Britain has found two thugs, Japan and Russia, and now it is Russia that has the problem, and the most ideal thug is China.

The beast's army was very strong, and the British wanted to see if the reorganized Chinese troops were fighting the same as before. China has been cutting its army, and at first various countries did believe it, but after half a year, some things have already felt as if something was wrong. The British side couldn't say what was wrong, so the British thought it might be a good idea to let China fight another war.

The problem now is that Yang Xiaolin is a very assertive person, and if he wants him to act for the British, this price may be a little difficult to negotiate. He won't say yes. And if the price is too high, the British are not willing. Now that China's economy is developing rapidly, if she is given a little more windfall, this giant of the East may soon really stand up.

Napoleon once said. Let China sleep, and don't wake up this lion. Fifty years ago, the British did not take this to heart, but now they really feel that Napoleon seems to be right.

Sa Daoyi said to Bowo: "Bowo. The Germans are willing to go with us to meet that guy, and this time we're going to work with Mulmer, and I bet you that guy is thinking about Russia now, too. Guess what reply he will give us? ”

Bowworth shook his head: "I can't guess." Honestly, I don't want to guess what he was thinking, because it's very difficult. ”

Sa Daoyi smiled slightly: "Let's talk about it, it's just the two of us here." How about me and the bet? One hundred pounds. ”

Bao Wo was really interested, and immediately sat up straight: "I think, he will do it for us, because China is the closest country to Russia, and if Russia turns red, China will be difficult to escape the turmoil!" Don't look at the fact that there are no problems here now, it's because this beast has blocked the news! Once the news comes, China will be more troublesome than we are. ”

Thinking about it, China's ideology is still a bit turbulent and ambiguous, and Bowworth is right, if this kind of red is allowed to spread to China, Yang Xiaolin will definitely be more troublesome than Britain. That's probably why that guy moves so fast.

"Makes sense! But he will definitely not negotiate terms with us, what will he want? ”

Sadaoyi said as he took out a few pounds from his pocket and put them on the table, and Bowo smiled and took out a few from the table: "I have won Sadaoyi, I bet you, that beast will definitely ask Russia to return all the land ceded from China, and even more!" ”

Sa Daoyi did not approve of this: "Bowo, you are definitely going to lose. I can assure you that Yang Xiaolin must now be considering the attitude of a country on the Russian question, not Britain nor Germany, but Japan. ”

Sa Daoyi said that he put the money of two people in a drawer and put it away: "If you win, take it all, but I don't think you have a chance." ”

Mr. Sadaoyi is not wrong at all, the crisis in Russia is a very good opportunity for China, and Yang Xiaolin will certainly not say that he will let go of this opportunity. Britain and France can ignore Japan's current role, because in the eyes of many, the Japanese Army seems to be unable to hold its head up in front of China.

However, as far as China is concerned, how to deal with Russia's affairs must take into account Japan's attitude. Or, to put it more clearly, just as Japan had to appease China before fighting a war in Indonesia, even if the Chinese navy was almost weak at that time, they had to consider China's attitude. If China wants to meddle in Russia's affairs now, it will definitely reach an agreement with the Japanese first!

Japan and Russia also have territorial disputes, north of the Heilongjiang River, China, Japan, and Russia used to be staggered, but now suddenly a Russia has fallen, and it stands to reason that Japan and China will immediately send troops to carve up Lao Maozi's Far Eastern territory. This is also an international practice, the world of the robbers is like this, the Far Eastern Army is gone, Russia is divided, there is really no reason to let them go.

At present, there is a force in Japan, both military and civilian, advocating that their army should take immediate action to expand the territory of the Japanese Empire. This force does not seem to be afraid of provoking China, and it has a strong market in Japan. What is more remarkable is that this is not simply isolated nationalist sentiment, but the great power ambition underpinned by nationalist sentiment in the context of rising power.

"Little Japan now has Indonesia. Their territory included the four islands of Japan, Taiwan, Korea, and Indonesia. In terms of territory and population, they are already ranked second in Asia, second only to us, China. At this time, their ambitions are difficult to control, and I have heard that there is an argument in their country that they want to fight with China again. ”

Yang Xiaolin was discussing the current situation with several senior staff members in the headquarters, although Huang Bao reported that the Japanese side did not seem to have any intention of taking any action in Russia, and even the Japanese ambassador Abe Shotaro told Yang Xiaolin that no matter what China does, the Japanese side will absolutely not interfere. In the same vein, he hopes that China will take this position on the issue of the South Seas.

What Shotaro Abe said is quite nice. The Japanese troops in Vladivostok were indeed very restrained, and if Yang Xiaolin had met the Japanese on the first day, he might have really believed it.

Yang Du immediately said next to him: "The turbulent situation in Russia will bring about a break in the status quo. A break in the status quo often means something about the balance. If you want to say that Japan will stay out of the matter, I don't believe it at all, the more low-key they are, the sharper they may be when they make a move. I think they might be waiting for an opportunity. ”

Yang Xiaolin grinned: "What if I don't make a move?" ”

Yang Du immediately stretched out two fingers: "First, they believe that you will definitely make a move." Because China's naval construction has not yet seen any results, we can only develop on land, and Russia is our only choice. Second, if we really get to the bottom and don't do anything. Japan may take on this task. ”

Comrade Trotsky was a little too violent, and he offended so many people at once, even if he wanted to help him now. Yang Du would be right if China had made it clear that it was unwilling to intervene in the Russian struggle. The Japanese quickly took over the job.

Because they're looking for an opportunity right now, an opportunity to show that they're the most powerful country in Asia.

Just recently, although the Japanese government maintained a low military profile in Asia, this low profile was the same as the purpose of Yang Xiaolin's disarmament. In order to let others stop seeing themselves as a threat, give themselves a breather, and digest the fruits of victory at the same time.

Yang Xiaolin took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and lit it: "From an emotional point of view. I really don't like Japanese people! Especially the way they look now, obviously their eyes are fixed on Russia's body, and they say to Lao Tzu that they will never interfere, and I don't know if Abe Shoutaro met me on the first day or thought I knew him on the first day? ”

"But in the current situation, we need Japan. Therefore, we must always be in contact with the Japanese side. Seven words, don't talk, don't fight, don't cooperate. ”

Politics is such a game, sometimes you take a step back and you don't necessarily have the sea and the sky, and then you don't necessarily have the willows and flowers. If Yang Xiaolin wants to create a balance in Russia, the first thing he needs to do is not to move forward or backward.

He must first break the balance created by the British, which is not good for China, but China cannot act on its own. Therefore, he needs to mobilize the leading forces of a third party to leverage the situation and let the situation out of the control of the British.

This lever is definitely not easy to operate, it cannot be light or heavy, it cannot be sooner or later. When the Japanese feel that if they don't make a move, this piece will be out of their share, leave them a chance to make a move. It's too late, and Japan feels that it's no fun to make a move, and they won't come. It's too early, so that Japan feels that the Chinese threaten them, and maybe they won't act easily.

To use a fulcrum to pry a Russia requires a strong self-confidence. If you don't play well, some people may laugh at you, and dare to play with self-confidence in front of the Western powers, as if it is a manifestation of arrogance. There is a good saying that self-confidence is the passport of the successful, and arrogance is the epitaph of the loser. Yang Xiaolin didn't know whether he was confident or arrogant, let time give an answer. (To be continued......)
