Chapter 53: Red Dawn

While the Allies were waiting for reinforcements, there was a rare peace in the Caucasus, with almost no gunfire.

However, that was only the situation in the east, and the fighting was still raging elsewhere, and the two sides exchanged views desperately.

And the Russian army has no advantage at all in the engagement, no matter where it can give full play to its numerical superiority, and the amount of ammunition is also in jeopardy.

It was better in the east, but the local army slowly swallowed up and moved slower than the turtle, and for a long time it was unable to occupy the north of the Caucasus.

A few days ago, the Tsar was very angry and at the same time extremely sad when he heard the news of the withdrawal of the Anglo-French troops from Gallipoli, believing that the war was hopeless.

But the battle will go on, and the Russian army, which has come to its senses, quickly made a general deployment, reduced the garrison in the Caucasus and relied on the mountains to take a defensive position, and deployed the main force in Poland to take an offensive.

The Russians found Austria-Hungary to be really easy to fight, the diversity of nationalities made it difficult for them to communicate, and the failed command made it difficult for them to move.

Therefore, Russia hoped to be able to strike a fatal blow and push Austria-Hungary back with a ferocious attack, so as to relieve the pressure everywhere.

But this is not an ordinary difficulty, Austria-Hungary is also a great power, even if there are many internal contradictions, it is not so easy to fight.

Coupled with the fact that the Allied blockade of Russia had left it extremely starved of domestic resources, with bank closures, factory strikes, and business closures common, these were all drag bottles tied to Russia's legs, making every step it took to the outside world extremely difficult.

Fortunately, the Austro-Hungarian army pulled its hips as always, and the Caucasus was not counterattacked by Kuster, otherwise the whole of Russia would have fallen into serious turmoil.

As for why Kuster did not attack, in addition to waiting for reinforcements, he also wanted Russia to think that the Caucasus would not attack, and wait for the troops to be transferred before launching a large-scale offensive.

But this was only an excuse for him to fool others, and the Kaiser repeatedly asked him to attack, but he was fooled by this.

In fact, he wanted to attack the Russian Communist Party, and in the past few days he has had the leisure to communicate with Russia's downlines, trying to sabotage the actions of the Russian Communist Party, and telling the Russian top brass about their actions.

The Germans, who are a transit point for information, think it's nothing, anti-communist! This is the good general of imperialism.

It was some people who believed in Marx who had insight into Kuster's intentions and began to constantly alert his comrades in Eastern Europe of the defeat of their actions, and at the same time underground, attacking Kuster's prestige and handing over the direction of his offensive directly to the Russian military.

However, they may have done bad things with good intentions, and since the Caucasus was issued, Kuster has never told his superiors his true intentions, let alone what he wants to do.

The Russian high-level officials were very helpless when they saw a lot of extra documents, they were already busy enough, and now they have to deal with so many things, they are simply exhausted.

The Russian officials were so busy that in the end a few Communists were caught, and the Caucasus never won a single battle.

The behavior of some of those who had been tortured to the point of collapse was so ridiculous that they thought they could pry information out of the mouths of the Communists, and as a result, all the Russian Communists did not reveal a word until their deaths.

Kuster's move was very vicious, taking advantage of Tsarist Russia's hatred of the Communists and the unity of the Communist Party, ostensibly to wage war against the two forces at the same time, but in fact they let them eat dogs, which greatly dealt a blow to the administrative efficiency of Russia and the status of the Russian Communist Party.

And he can just chat with people casually and release some false information to make Russian politics turbulent, which can be described as killing multiple birds with one stone.

But this was not enough, and in order to prevent the Russian Communist Party from coming to power, Kuster did everything he could, and even preached in Russia that Anarchism was more extreme than the extreme, which was correct and advanced.

Combined with the logical rhetoric of the anarchy and the efforts of Makhno (one of the leaders of the Russian Anarchy), many people were able to join the effort.

[Anarchism logically holds that people are born with rights, rights produce classes, and classes breed contradictions. Since rights cannot be eradicated, the only way to resolve the contradictions is to eradicate classes (don't eradicate human beings, the Bians are even more crazy). This rhetoric may seem self-consistent, but the actual action is another matter. 】

As anarchism expanded, more violence occurred. The increasingly inefficient Russian government gradually became unable to cope with it, and Makhno, who had been sentenced to life imprisonment, was exiled overseas.

Kuster personally sent someone to call Makhno to him, hoping that he would be able to lead the future of Russia.

The most prestigious generals of the Central Powers came to his aid, leaving Makhno to consider himself the liberator of Russia.

At the same time, the entire meeting was carried out in secret, which led Makhno to mistakenly believe that it was Kuster's shortcoming, which could then be used to threaten him.

But in fact, this is just an illusion that Kuster gave him, even if he has nothing to do, as long as Kuster bites to death, then Makhno will not be able to find a handle anyway.

Why did Custer go to such lengths to suppress the Communist Party? I'm afraid he himself doesn't know.

In the dark, he seems to have always been full of awe of Marxism, a kind of innate aversion to Marxism.

It has to be said that the firm beliefs of those communists are daunting, so that many people who admire them also join in.

Once the valve to hinder the Communist Party is opened, the blood flow will quickly spread to the whole world, and it will be unstoppable.

The self-proclaimed guardians of the bourgeoisie will not tolerate this and will do everything in their power to stop it, which is why communism has always prevailed.

The poor can read Das Kapital, but the capitalists can read it even more. The capitalists have a complete leisure to read, while the poor spend almost all day running around for life and do not read at all.

Therefore, most of the leaders of communism are the middle class who are dissatisfied with the social status quo, as well as the poor who want to be strong, and of course a few capitalists with a conscience who abandon their money and join the ranks of the revolution.

Together, these people, after a long period of development, will sooner or later form an extremely powerful force.

Eventually, more and more people were inspired by them to acquire ideas and humanity, and to build up a force that could compete with capitalism.

However, the development of capitalism preceded it by hundreds of years, and the wealth plundered during this period was enormous, and the newly established Communist Party was no match at all.

However, out of the great ideal of emancipating the world, they did not forget to fight for the interests of the common people at any time in the danger of being stabbed in the back by the bourgeoisie, and finally the eight-hour working day was born, which the workers could not have dared to think of before.

Kuster respects their ideals, but fears that they will take away their rights, so he must deal a blow to them.

But he always felt that someone would destroy all this, and this person was not an outsider, but someone who was related to him by blood. To put it bluntly...... It's his son.
