The establishment of Soviet Russia and the repulsion of the intervening army and the White Army are only the first step in the long march of 10,000 miles―――――― well, it seems that there is no such thing as a long march in this era, and it is basically impossible to have a long march.

In the past, Lenin and others were all about how to build up Soviet Russia and crush the intervention armies of the great powers and the white armies that represented the 'old forces'.

Especially in the most difficult time of Soviet Russia, even Lenin and others lost some confidence. If it weren't for that, they wouldn't have been able to take the capital from Petrograd to Moscow. After all, it was close to the sea, so it was vulnerable to attacks from the sea, and the White Russian army under the command of Yudenich on the road was not far from Petrograd.

But now, having almost solved the problem of the intervening army, Lenin and his men had to face the difficult problem of how to build Soviet Russia. As Luo Wenying said, building a country is not an easy task, Yan Shao was also able to waste it at will because he had sufficient funds, but Soviet Russia was different.

Putting aside whether the Soviet Union had so much money for the time being, a particularly critical issue is that the British and American powers were very hostile to Soviet Russia, and even if they had funds, I am afraid that there would be no place to spend them...

As a result, I am afraid that there will be no place for the needs of Soviet Russia, especially some equipment needed for the development of industry, and there is no way to buy it...

At this time, if there is such a country that is willing to stand up and help Soviet Russia, the help to Soviet Russia will definitely be huge. And this was one of the reasons why Lenin was willing to send Stalin to Baghdad.

The purpose is also very simple, that is, to see what the Chinese really mean. If Chinese really intended to provide some help to Soviet Russia......... You might as well agree, even if the Chinese will take this opportunity to put forward some harsher conditions...

"Just as we signed a treaty with the Germans at the beginning, and it is the same now, as long as we can get help from the Chinese, when we become strong in the future, we can naturally take back from the Chinese what they stole from us..."

That being said, but in reality, it can't be done. In fact, Lenin himself had no bottom in his heart. After all, today's China is no longer the sick and weak country it used to be, and its strong national strength may not be as strong as that of old powers like Britain and the United States, but it is compared with the nascent Soviet Russia. But it's too much stronger.

Especially after occupying Siberia, Central Asia, and the Middle East, China's territory is probably not too far apart from that of Britain, coupled with its huge population and thriving industrial capacity. Trying to take something back from it. It's a very difficult thing to do...

However, Lenin still sent Stalin, after all, the most important thing at present is to solve the problem at hand.

At present, it can be said that almost all the top leaders of Soviet Russia have their own important work, such as Trotsky, who is still at war with Yudenich and the British in Petrograd, and everyone else has their own tasks, and at this time it is only as a top level. However, Stalin, whose status was not as good as Lenin and others, was the most suitable candidate―――――― Lenin also considered the question of the candidate many times.

If the status is too low, it will definitely not work. After all, the meaning revealed by the Chinese this time was that Yan Shao himself hoped that they could go to Baghdad. If you send someone too low-level over, if the Chinese feel that they are looking down on them, then things are some...

But the status is too high, now have their own work to do, at this time the status is very high, but not particularly high Stalin, it has become the most suitable candidate―――――― in Yan Shao's time and space in Soviet Russia, the future Stalin in Soviet Russia may be a supreme role, but in such an era, Stalin's status today is not very high.

――――――――――――――――――――――

"It's just that I don't know what those Chinese will ask for..." Sitting in the carriage, Stalin frowned. Although Stalin at this time was still very young compared to later, the signature mustache on his lips had already come out.

In addition, he is a high-level member of Soviet Russia, unlike when Lenin and the others were still hiding in Tibet, and now their photos can be said to be posted all over the world, and it is precisely because of such a reason that the regiment commander just now will recognize him...

"Excuse me, how long will it take to get to Baghdad...", after bowing his head and muttering for a moment, Stalin looked up at the man in black in the passenger seat.

"I don't know about this," the man in black smiled and shook his head, "Iraqi Province is a province that my country has just occupied, and because of this, the situation here is not very stable, especially the roads and other facilities, which were already very dilapidated when they originally belonged to Turkey, and now they are even more dilapidated, and those roads and bridges are often damaged. If we're lucky, it's fine, but if we're unlucky, it's going to take a long time to get to Baghdad..."

After saying that, the man in black glanced at Stalin again, and then comforted. "But don't worry, the general situation in our country has been almost controlled, this convoy itself is also very strong, and the entire province is full of our armed forces, and it will definitely not let you have any personal safety problems..."

Listening to the words of the man in black, Stalin smiled and said nothing more.

It's just that in his heart, Stalin couldn't help but say disdainfully. "Imperialism..."

Obviously, no matter what kind of person Stalin will be in the future, at least at this time, China will be an imperialist country for Stalin.

In fact, after the European war, China has indeed become the latest member of the great powers in the eyes of other countries. After all, in this war, China has done very well, and even gained the territory of the Middle East and the former eastern part of Russia, and has become one of the largest countries in the world by territorial area―――――― although it seems to be the same...

Anyway, when other countries see China. There was already an instinctive hint of fear and awe. As for the United Kingdom, the United States and other countries, they have instinctively regarded China as their own kind.

As for China itself, the attitude is obviously a bit more complicated.

After all, at the time of the Xinhai Revolution. Imperialism has always been the object of China's condemnation, even before its participation in the European War, and the reason why China was bullied before the Xinhai Revolution was because of imperialist relations, and it was impossible for the Chinese people to have any good feelings towards imperialism, and they were probably even more disgusted. If this were not the case, Yan Shao wanted to send troops to Europe. Nor is there likely to be such a big opposition at home. Who would have thought that it would not be long before China suddenly became the imperialist in the world's mouth, which made the Chinese people a little unable to turn around...

Merely...

After feeling the benefits of China's international status improvement. Listening to the newspapers of the media of other countries, commenting there, guarding against 'imperialism' China, slowly. These people suddenly felt. Being an imperialist country or something, it seems like a really good thing...

――――――――――――――――――――

I don't know how long it took for Stalin's convoy to finally arrive in Baghdad―――――― seriously, the traffic in Iraq is still good, at least there are not so many mountains and mountains, not to mention that during this period of time, the expeditionary force has not done nothing in Iraq, and a lot of roads have been built. Although they are cultivating there here, what about that side. There will be some rebel groups to bomb it, so that when the other expeditionary forces are relatively idle, the sappers will become the busiest group...

On the other hand, when Stalin and his entourage arrived in Baghdad, Yan Shao had already returned from a place near Baghdad, where there was a high probability of oil based on exploration.

After learning that Stalin, a special guest, might take a long time to arrive, Yan Shao left Elaline and his wife in Baghdad, and he took a group of people to Baghdad to see the places where oil was said to be there.

For the Middle East, Yan Shao can be said to attach great importance to the abnormal, after all, Yan Shao knows very well how important this land is.

In a way, Yan Shao would rather lose all of Central Asia than any of the three regions, Iraq, Kuwait, and the eastern Persian Gulf coast, even the smallest Kuwait.

There is enough oil buried under this land for China to use until the 21st century. Similarly, no matter how indisputable China is in the future, as long as they can keep these two provinces in the Middle East, then they have the hope of making a comeback, at least they have the possibility of surviving―――――― although Yan Shao feels that if it really gets mixed up that day, maybe China's fate is not much worse than that of Soviet Russia.

When Yan Shao went to the 'oil field' near Baghdad to watch, the people of the exploration team explained him in detail, including a series of questions about oil seedlings, and explained to him the results of the exploration team's investigation and speculation...

Yan Shao didn't know anything about oil, after all, he had worked in Mexico for a while, and his starting capital came from oil. Even one of the world's most oil-producing wells was once owned by him.

However, in the face of the explanation of the exploration team, Yan Shao still made an enthusiastic gesture.

This is indeed the case, after all, the one in Mexico is considered to be for someone else, and Yan Shao has only collected 30% of the profit at most, and sooner or later it will be returned to the Rockefeller family, or even to the Mexicans.

But what about Iraq, although the oil resources here seem to be national after the energy is stated. But in Yan Shao's view, this country is no different from him, in other words, the country's energy is equivalent to his...

Looking at the things in his own home, how could he not be happy...

However, in a good place, there is always a day to finish reading, not to mention that Yan Shao does not plan to go to Kuwait or the East Persian Gulf by the way, so in the end, considering that he still has a guest to receive, returning to Baghdad seems to be the best choice...

――――――――――――――――――――

After a period of travel, Stalin and others finally arrived in Baghdad.

However, they did not enter Baghdad in a proper way, after all, Iraq was also taken over by the Socialist government from the British. In large cities such as Baghdad, there are still some British people active, and Stalin's characteristics are so obvious. If the Kuomintang is seen to be entangled with Soviet Russia, it will affect many things, if not too much of a crisis for the Kuomintang.

Therefore, Stalin's convoy, after arriving on the outskirts of Baghdad first, took some relatively unremarkable cars and came to Yan Shao's residence in Baghdad through the side door.

Then, Stalin was in the living room of this temporary residence. I saw Yan Shao, who had been waiting for a long time.

"You are Mr. Stalin, you really have admired the name for a long time..."Looking at the beard that appeared in front of him, Yan Shao's face showed a smile.

He didn't talk nonsense. After all, in his time, to be honest, it was really difficult to say which of Stalin or Lenin was more famous in China. Lenin founded Soviet Russia. But. After all, Stalin also led the victory of World War II, not to mention the Great Purge in front of it, and a series of events later, for China, Stalin's influence on China is undoubtedly much more far-reaching than Lenin...

It is precisely because of this that Yan Shao has been famous for Stalin for a long time. However, at the beginning, Yan Shao didn't mean to see Stalin at all, after all, this person was really a little scary, but now, the sitting position is different. Naturally, the eyes of people are different, although the later generations of Stalin are powerful. But for the current Yan Shao, it's nothing...

On the other hand, he did not know this, and looking at Yan Shao, who was standing in front of him with a warm smile on his face, Stalin was also slightly infected.

"Where, I've really been known to you for a long time..."

Stalin did not tell a lie, but rather, he gritted his teeth for a long time.

After all, Yan Shao can be said to have taken away the figures of Siberia and Central Asia from them. Although these two regions were still in the hands of the remnants of Tsarist Russia at that time, for Stalin and others, those that were originally inherited by them were now snatched away by the Chinese, and they naturally gritted their teeth with hatred.

However, while hating, Stalin also had a trace of curiosity about Yan Shao.

After all, Yan Shao's experience is really legendary, much like the protagonist in some novels of this era, a person who can create a miracle. In a short period of time, it has turned a country that was extremely sick and weak into a very powerful country, and its comprehensive national strength is not much better than that of Britain and the United States―――――― of course, let's not talk about the navy here...

And such a person who created a miracle is naturally very susceptible to the curiosity of Stalin and others.

Therefore, when looking at Yan Shao, Stalin also had such a trace of emotion in his eyes...

"I'm sorry..." After motioning for Stalin to sit down, Yan Shao looked at Stalin with an apologetic smile on his face. Originally, I was supposed to arrange a place for you to live first, so that you could rest first, and then we talked about business, but at the moment my time is very tight, after all, I have been in Europe for a long time, and I have not returned to China for more than half a year, although nothing has happened in China yet, but as the head of a country, my duty is not easy after all, I have left my country for so long..."

Speaking of this, Yan Shao looked at Stalin. "By the way, I heard that you had some accidents on the way to Baghdad, and you weren't injured, right?"

It turned out that on the way to Baghdad, Stalin and his team encountered an Iraqi resistance group, which ambushed the convoy.

In fact, these resistance groups are doing a terrible job now. After the Communist government implemented a policy of exile and exiled all Iraqis who supported the Resistance on Sakhalin Island, there were not many people in Iraq who dared to support the Resistance, and even if there were, it was secretly, which could be described as a drop in the bucket, and could not support the survival of the Resistance at all.

As a last resort, they had no choice but to use the measures to nourish the war and snatch it from the garrison.

In the past, they often failed, but there were times when they succeeded.

And this time, when they were notified that a convoy was heading in the direction of Baghdad, they realized that business had come to their door...

Merely...

Unlike the fat intestines they imagined, this group of people is an out-and-out ironclad plate.

Especially inside the convoy, there were a considerable number of snipers, who shot nearly a third of the resistance with precision, and with the dense firepower of the others, the armed members of the convoy easily routed the resistance.

And for the combat capability of the Secret Service, Stalin, who was sitting in the car, was also a little dumbfounded. After all, the battle went very quickly, and it didn't take long to get rid of the resistance that rushed down...

At the same time, the man in black sitting in the co-pilot seat told him that they were not suitable for this kind of warfare, but more suitable for urban warfare, the so-called street warfare. After all, the Secret Service itself is a secret service organization, and most of the time it operates within the city...

Of course, they also have field capabilities, but there is still a gap between them and the regular army.

After all, the regular army is originally specialized in this, not to mention that in terms of firepower, the regular army is much stronger than the special service―――――― at least the regular army can have a large number of mortars and light and heavy machine guns, and although the special service bureau has it, it is impossible for ordinary small troops to have this thing.
