The February Revolution should be called the March Revolution strictly speaking.

After all, in that era of later generations, the words "February Revolution" had long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, just like —————— "October Revolution".

The reason why the February Revolution in Russia should be called the March Revolution is because it actually took place on March 8 in the Western calendar, but because there was also the Russian calendar at that time, that is, according to the Julian calendar, it was calculated according to the Julian calendar, and according to the Julian calendar, it happened to be February 23, that is, February, so this revolution is also called the February Revolution...

In this era, however, the so-called February Revolution was a veritable February Revolution, because it took place in the month of February, or more precisely, not long after the Germans declared unrestricted submarine warfare...

The reason for this can be explained in just one sentence.

History has changed, time has advanced ...

————————————————————

In the secret base of the Russian Communist Party in St. Petersburg, which is actually a factory, Luo Wenying, who wore a hat to cover his face, was hiding in the corner of the factory at this moment, watching Molotov and other leaders of the Russian Communist Party shouting some very demagogic slogans to the Russian workers...

After living in Russia for such a long time, Luo Wenying, who already knew Russian, had become more fluent in spoken English, and naturally understood what Molotov's slogans were.

Although only standing in the corner. However, Luo Wenying still had to admit in her heart that the slogans of Molotov's people were indeed very demagogic, which could be seen from the Russian workers who had been deceived. At this very moment, the Russian workers with malnourished faces are showing fanatical expressions, as if...

"Like some fanatics...", Luo Wenying's face showed a look of vigilance.

"Luo, what did you just say?" Standing beside Luo Wenying, a Russian asked with some curiosity when he saw what he seemed to say just now.

Because Luo Wenying's voice was very small just now. And he spoke Chinese, so he didn't know what Luo Wenying said at all, and Luo Wenying naturally didn't worry that he would know what Lu Dao said just now. What's more, in the past, Luo Wenying also underwent very strict training, and she knew very well when to say something, when not to say something, and when to show what kind of expression. When not to show any expressions.

So even though the Russian Communist asked the question very suddenly. But Luo Wenying was not surprised, and said to him with a calm smile. "Nothing, I just think Comrade Molotov's speech is very imposing and inspiring, you see, those ordinary workers have already been encouraged by him, with such momentum, this revolution of your party in St. Petersburg will definitely succeed..."

Luo Wenying is always difficult to tell the truth. So some kind words became inevitable.

The costs of the Russian Communist Party are varied, but it is mainly made up of ordinary working class. The one who followed Luo Wenying was that although he was very smart, he had the simplicity of workers in this era, so when he heard Luo Wenying's words, he didn't doubt it at all, but patted Luo Wenying's shoulder with a smile and agreed...

Seeing that he was so easy to fool, Luo Wenying also laughed for a while, and then refocused his attention on Molotov and other high-level leaders of the Russian Communist Party, and his heart was full of vigilance.

As for the reason...

——————————————————————————

As the deputy director of the Special Affairs Bureau, Luo Wenying naturally knows a lot about the situation in China. Unlike history, it was an agricultural country, mainly based on agriculture, although it also had some industry, but it was insignificant compared to the great powers, not to mention that its own population was so large, the number of workers was apportioned, and it disappeared in the blink of an eye...

This is also one of the reasons why a certain party will fail at the beginning of China, after all, they have applied the experience of the Russian Communist Party to mobilize the working class, but the problem is that the number of workers in China is so small that it is not enough to support them, but the number of peasants is too large to count...

Of course, this also shows that each country has its own special national conditions, and it is useless to simply copy them, and it is most in line with China's situation to carry out reforms through reality.

Otherwise, just like a certain hammer and sickle later, there are not many workers but they go to mobilize workers, which is really some...

Later, the situation was completely different, and the target of the mobilization was changed to the peasants, and you must know that there were too many peasants in China to count, and more than 90 percent of the four or five billion people at that time were peasants, and as long as they had their support, they would be fighting for that one percent, and victory would naturally become inevitable...

It should be noted that although there was a so-called golden decade or something, in fact, the industries that were inherited from Beiyang in the past, especially the military industry, were basically corrupted by the ——————, which can be regarded as a great contribution to making China an agricultural country completely...

But this time was very different from historical China, and even from China in previous years. Since Yan Shao set up an industry in Anhui, at least Anhui has become a relatively rare industrial province in China, and later after the Kuomintang completely defeated Beiyang and unified the whole country, Yan Shao's industrial plan was successfully extended to the whole country.

Only the [Seventh Five-Year Project], as well as the 300 million silver dollars that Yan Shao lent to ordinary businessmen through Yushi Bank, coupled with the fact that he later recovered the tariffs, so that domestic merchants could compete with foreigners in a relatively fair situation when doing business, and the removal of centijin greatly reduced the cost of products for domestic merchants, etc., it can be said that the domestic industry has entered a period of rapid development...

——————————————————————————

It is for these reasons that it is different from history. During this period, the number of factories in the country was very large, especially after the end of the First World War, and Europe needed a lot of supplies. Although a large part of these materials were taken away by the United States and other countries, with the [Seventh Five-Year Plan] and some factories built under the 300 million silver dollars, China also got a piece of the pie from the orders of the Entente countries.

Especially in the later period, since China had become a belligerent country and was also a member of the Entente, in order to take care of its own people, the Entente gave a considerable part of the share of orders to China.

Naturally, the United States is extremely dissatisfied with this. But there is nothing that can be done, after all, the United States is only a neutral country, and it is also a profiteer country that makes a lot of war profits between the two. China, on the other hand, was a country that fought alongside Britain and France on the Western Front, and both...

Perhaps in the eyes of some Europeans, the United States is more important than China. But now the United States is clearly on the sidelines. However, China is an iron ally that has already sent a lot of troops, and it is self-evident who should be taken care of, even if the Americans want to protest, there is no suitable reason, after all, they are not China's allies.

And under the stimulus of this large order, many industries in China are growing by leaps and bounds...

A large number of factories began to be launched by those who succeeded, and although the war may not have been over for long at this time, there was a general factory fever in the country.

It is also in this case. The number of workers in the country has also increased, although it is still not as large as the number of peasants. But at least it's no longer as insignificant as it used to be—————————— one thing to note is that in fact China at that time was not only exporting goods to Europe, but also to the United States, of course, this is not referring to cars, yes, cars are indeed China's main exports to the United States, but in addition to cars, China also exported some other things, for example...

At present, in China, the cotton textile industry is getting bigger and bigger.

In fact, the original scale of the cotton textile industry in the United States is also very large, just because the wage level of workers in the United States was very high at that time—————— you know, more than two dollars a day, so it is natural that the United States is obviously not competitive in the cotton textile industry, although with tariffs, to ensure that the cotton textile market in the United States will not be affected by cheaper British and German goods, but it is difficult to expand the market overseas, after all, there are too few Canadians in the north, even if the export is useless, Inevitably, Mexico and other countries are good, but also...

On the other side of the ocean, European countries such as Britain and France, as well as countries such as China and Japan, have their own cotton textile industries, especially China at that time, which is the dumping ground for cotton textile products between Britain and Japan, and the United States is really unable to get involved—————— from the perspective of the United States, whether it is Britain and France in Europe or China and Japan in Asia, it seems to be the other side of the ocean?

And then...

When the war broke out, the benefits of cotton textiles were good, but they were obviously far from the necessities of war, so many factories in the United States were converted to the production of military industrial products, and the domestic cotton textile market was completely handed over to China and Japan, which were cheaper...

Obviously, the Americans themselves are very clear about the production of military products and the production of cotton textiles, which is more profitable, and now that they have found that cotton textile products do not make money from military products, they naturally abandon this very decisively and go to the military industry...

As for China and Japan...

At the beginning, in fact, the two countries are comparable in this regard, after all, Japan is also a country that started by relying on the textile industry, the number of spindles is not small, although the number of spindles in China has been more than that of Japan, but most of them are concentrated in the cotton textile mills of Yushi Group, although there are some other factories, but the number is obviously not as good as Japan's cotton textile mills.

But after a long time, those domestic businessmen found that cotton textiles were very profitable, and they all ran to it, with Yan Shao's loan at that time, many factories rose in China, and for a while, China actually ran into the industrialized countries...

Although in a certain way, the proportion of workers in China is still not comparable to that of peasants, but considering the level of industrialization of many countries in this era, Yan Shao can also say that China is a quasi-industrialized country...

Then, Luo Wenying's worries came...

——————————————————————————

Industrialized countries are good, but the problem is that the number of workers has skyrocketed.

Ordinary farmers are experiencing a plague of locusts. When there is a drought or a flood, they usually run out to find something to eat. If the situation is more troublesome, for example, some corrupt officials and corrupt officials have forced the people to have no way out, and they will give the food for disaster relief or something, and those farmers may even expose the rod...

This is true of the peasants, let alone the workers?

However, the situation of the workers is better than that of the peasants, who will starve to death if they do not have a harvest. But if the workers are —————— without wages, they will starve to death.

At present, this is the case in domestic industry and commerce, and the number of factories is certainly large. But the level has become somewhat...

Not to mention the capitalists, who are still relatively primitive capitalists, and it is obviously impossible for them to take care of the interests of the workers. The rest of the results can be imagined...

At present, the wages of workers in the country have stabilized to the point of one to two corners. Something like the Rain Stone Group can probably be higher. But this is mainly in the coastal and some of the more favorable provinces. In the remote provinces, many workers are paid less than a dime, only about eight cents, although this money is enough for the workers to support their families (the composite standard of gold and silver, the currency does not have to worry about depreciation, and the domestic supply of materials is sufficient, and there is no need to worry about rising prices), but in this era, except for the Yushi Group and a few factories. The vast majority of capitalists use a 10-hour workday, and some black-hearted ones even increase the time to 12 hours...

In addition, wage deductions have become almost commonplace. Some of the emperors are far away, the central government is still out of control, and the local governments do not want to take care of some places, and some capitalists even set up private torture halls to punish workers working in their own factories, all kinds of outrageous behaviors...

Therefore, although there are indeed more workers in the country at present, but due to these reasons, there are more chaos in the country, and many factory workers often run out to march, fortunately, although Yan Shao himself is a big capitalist, but he treats the workers well, so even if the workers are treated unfairly, they will not complain about Yan Shao, but lament that they have not been able to enter the enterprise opened by Yan Shao—————— which cannot but sigh Yan Shao's vision, Although Yushi Group did not have many employees when it was first founded, many managers also considered Yan Shao's efforts to treat workers well as a waste of money. After all, the businessmen at that time didn't treat the workers as people, how to make money, as for the workers, they were just a tool for them to make money, even if it was broken, it was a big deal to replace it with a new one...

However, perhaps when the Yushi Group was small, there was nothing wrong with the workers, after all, the scale was small, and the number of workers was relatively small, even if it was mistreated or even abused.

But when the scale of the Yushi Group grows...

Not to mention those overseas employees, such as Ford, Chevrolet, Rolls-Royce and other branches of the Yushi Group, or Coca-Cola and Gillette...

If the workers in the factories and companies in China alone, such as steel, textiles, shipbuilding, automobiles, and so on, are all taken together, there are already hundreds of thousands to millions, and if you count the families around them, it may even reach millions to tens of millions...

And because of the size of the Yushi Group, these people are also distributed all over the country...

What was the total population of China at this time? What's more, Yan Shao's identity is special, not only the president of China, but also the boss of the Yushi Group, hundreds of millions of people, if Yan Shao treats ordinary workers like ordinary capitalists...

They will inevitably be as hostile as ordinary capitalists...

has been complained about by millions of people, and even Yan Shao's position may be a little unstable.

Moreover, one of the reasons for Ford's success in the first place was to increase the level of wages and benefits, so that workers had to concentrate on their work in order not to lose their jobs, which in turn improved the efficiency and level of the entire company...

Yan Shao's actions have the same effect as Ford, although Yan Shao did post some money in the early days of the business, but now, this kind of initiative has earned Yan Shao back something that is not comparable to money...

——————————————————————————

But these are just for Yan Shao, as mentioned earlier, Yan Shao treats workers well, and now the basic salary of Yushi Group has risen to three dollars a day, and it is likely to continue to rise, coupled with an unprecedented eight-hour work system, as well as one day off a week, etc., so that Yan Shao is not a hateful boss in the eyes of workers, and has also gained a lot of support...

It's hard to say anything else, but if it is selected that day, at least these millions of people will definitely support Yan Shao...

But the ordinary capitalists, that is, the pure exploiters...

At present, because of the adjustment of the Nationalist government in the middle, and the prestige of Yan Shao is high and he is very trusted, there will be no problems, but if one day a guy like Molotov slips into the country and bewitches the workers in the country who have long been dissatisfied with the capitalists...

"Then I'm afraid the country is going to be lively..."

Everyone has ambitions, and of course Luo Wenying has them, but at the same time as having the ambition to climb up, it is his ideal to build a strong China that supports Luo Wenying when he came out to follow Yan Shao...

And even today, he has never forgotten this ideal, so after seeing a guy like Molotov who may affect or even threaten China, Luo Wenying's heart suddenly became vigilant...

It's just that the Russian Communist Party and China are allies now, but Yan Shao's order is for him to help the Russian Communist Party, so he can't say anything, he can only stand in the corner, and then watch Molotov bewitch ordinary workers there...

On February 18, workers in the stamping shop of the Petrograd Putilov Plant went on strike to demand an increase in piece-rate wages and a recall of dismissed workers. However, this request was soon refused, and in the face of the refusal, the strike soon spread to the entire Putilov plant.

On February 23, the Russian Bureau of the Central Committee of the Russian Communist Party and the Petrograd Committee decided to hold a rally to celebrate International Women's Day and to carry out propaganda and agitation against hunger, war and tsarism. After the meeting, the women workers took to the streets to demonstrate, and the male workers followed, and 90,000 people took part in the strike on this day, which shows how far the working class in China and Russia have historically disparity.

By the next day, the number of people striking in Petrograd had increased to 200,000. Main street set. The police tried to separate the masses, but to no avail. Workers sometimes assemble here, sometimes show up there, and continue their demonstrations.

On February 25, the Petrograd strike turned into a general strike. All kinds of businesses, shops, restaurants, cafes stopped working. In the center of the city was packed with people. At that time, Tsar Nicholas II received a report from the commander of the Petrograd Military District, Khabarov, on the situation in the capital, and immediately decided to return to Petrograd by train to preside over the overall situation.

At first, the government soldiers did support Tsarist Russia, but soon they changed their position, reversed course, and sided with the uprising...

On the other hand, although the Tsar soon decided to return to Petrograd, in fact the real reason for his return was not only that, but mainly because his children, including his only son, Crown Prince Alexei, contracted measles, so the Tsar returned to the Tsar's Villa near the city to accompany the prince and princesses. However, when he arrived at his destination, the generals who greeted him all urged him to abdicate.

Faced with this dilemma, Nicholas II had no choice but to abdicate, but after his abdication, when he nominated his brother Grand Duke Mikhail to inherit the throne, he was rejected by the Grand Duke...

The emperor abdicated, but no one came out to be the emperor, and thus the Russian Empire, which had lasted for hundreds of years, came to an end...

And the impact is far-reaching...

The Russian Empire fell, and although Russia was still fighting Germany on the Eastern Front at this time, neither the Entente nor the United States could ignore the occurrence of Russia's fornication with Germany in this situation.

If this were the case, then Britain, France and other countries would have to face German pressure on the Western Front alone, and the tide of the war would probably change as a result...

At this point, the United States is no longer able to sit firmly in the Diaoyutai as it used to be... (To be continued......)
