On September 13, 1919, the World League publicly announced its intervention in the Russian Civil War, and sent 850,000 troops to form a World Alliance to declare war on Soviet Russia.

After this news was announced, it immediately swept the whole world like a prairie fire, and became a hot topic of discussion among people all over the world, including Russia.

If you ask the Russians about their own attitude, the current situation in which the Russian Civil War has developed is well understood by the supporters of Tsarist Russia and Soviet Russia.

Soviet Russia, founded as a workers' party, still won the favor of the overwhelming majority of the Russian workers, and it was the Russian working class that supported them the most.

Tsarist Russia, which absorbed the bourgeoisie, supported the old tsarist government and the common people, after all, they were not willing to add more changes to their chaotic life, as long as they could have a full meal, they were still obedient to the government.

It is worth mentioning that, in addition to the largest number of working and peasant classes in Russia, the remaining aristocracy and capitalist class were also mostly willing to support Tsarist Russia.

Of course, this does not represent how advanced the system of Tsarist Russia was, or how high the prestige of Tsar Nicholas II was.

It is simply that the bourgeoisie and the aristocracy prefer to see the Tsar continue to rule the countries in comparison with the Soviet power established by the workers' union, at least in the chaotic Russian society, where they are still the superior class who exploit the plebeian class.

Under the influence of the major classes, Russia was then defeated on the part of Eastern Europe, after all, some of the more developed regions of Eastern Europe were dominated by workers, which was also the advantage of Soviet Russia.

The situation in Russia has changed from a north-south melee to an east-west war, with Soviet Russia slowly taking control of most of Eastern Europe, and Tsarist Russia's power shifting to northern Europe and Asia.

Truth be told, the enormous influence of Soviet Russia over the working class was the real reason for the British Empire's determination to intervene in the Russian Civil War by force.

Regardless of the industrial country, there are a large number of workers. Most of the industrial countries are predominantly capitalist and have some conflicts with the interests of the workers.

As soon as the ideology of Soviet Russia expanded outward, it was impossible to imagine that the whole of Europe would face revolution, which almost all European countries did not want to see.

Even a republic like France, which, to put it bluntly, is a capitalist country, can still be affected by the Soviet consciousness.

After the official decision to intervene in the Russian Civil War by force, the major countries of the World Alliance did not hesitate, and each of them was preparing troops and fleets to quickly extinguish Soviet Russia, the great villain of Europe.

Not to mention the army, the world alliance has an overwhelming advantage in the navy.

The British Empire used its own fleet, plus the French Mediterranean Fleet and the Italian Fleet, to blockade the Baltic and Black Seas respectively, blocking all Russian access to the sea.

The fleets of Denmark, Belgium, the Netherlands, Romania, and Greece are like patrol fleets, responsible for patrolling the seas and preventing the Russian fleet from sneaking out.

In order to show their support for Tsarist Russia, the World League jointly provided Nicholas II with a batch of free weapons and equipment to ensure that Tsarist Russia could hold out before the arrival of the World Alliance's intervening coalition forces.

Before the coalition of other world alliances arrived, Tsarist Russia would not be able to hold on, so it would be a lot of fun.

The good news is that Russia has gone through many chaotic periods, and the warships of the Navy are not only in disrepair, but also have an even more chaotic internal rule, and it is simply impossible to cause any interference with the world alliance on the seas.

And the armies of Tsarist Russia and Soviet Russia, which are currently in dire straits, are far inferior in real combat effectiveness to other European countries.

This is no joke, the civil war between the two sides may seem severe, but in reality the armies of both sides have fatal flaws of one kind or another.

Although Tsarist Russia's armies were supported by military equipment from Australasia and the World League, these armies consisted of veterans of the First World War who had long since become tired of the war.

They had experienced the First World War, the bourgeois rebellion, the uprising in Soviet Russia, and the seizure of power by the Tsars, and their inner fatigue could no longer be suppressed.

In other words, they have been at war for longer than anyone else, and they have been waging war since the outbreak of World War I.

Under such circumstances, the combat effectiveness of the army of Tsarist Russia was already significantly reduced. Moreover, this army was once subject to the rule of the bourgeois provisional government, which also made Nicholas II not trust these armies, but equipped most of his weapons and equipment into his absolute henchmen.

Needless to say, the absolute crushing of the navy side, and on the army side, the ratio of the number of Tsarist Russian troops to the number of Soviet Russian troops reached 1 million to 1.2 million.

If you count the coalition forces of the World Alliance, which amounted to 850,000 troops, Tsarist Russia already took the lead in terms of the number of land forces.

In fact, Soviet Russia, after experiencing a fairly tight blockade by the World Union, was actually relatively weak.

If it weren't for the capture of some of the weapons and equipment through the victory over Tsarist Russia, I am afraid that it would not have been possible to even have a single weapon in hand.

Even under such circumstances, the weapons of a small number of soldiers in Soviet Russia were old and retired, and the real combat effectiveness they could exert on the battlefield was questionable.

On September 19, 1919, planes from the World League were stationed in northeastern Europe, which was under the control of Tsarist Russia, and the next day a major bombing of Moscow was carried out.

This news immediately boiled Tsarist Russia, because the civil war to this day, St. Petersburg, the capital of Tsarist Russia, was still strong, but Moscow in Soviet Russia was already in danger.

Many workers brainwashed by Soviet Russia took to the streets to protest against the World League's disregard for human life, and the bombing of Moscow had already resulted in hundreds of casualties.

But it was clear that no one but Soviet Russia cared about the march of these workers.

The bombing of Moscow continues, and at the same time, a large number of leaflets persuading it to surrender are being dropped, disrupting order inside and outside Moscow.

In this leaflet, the League of the Worlds openly declared that Soviet Russia had stolen the fruits of the victory of Tsarist Russia, and that Tsarist Russia was the victor of the First World War and the legitimacy of Russia as a whole.

The League of the Worlds advised the Russian people under Soviet Russia to abandon their wrongs and return to the arms of Tsarist Russia as soon as possible, in order to avoid the dangers of war.

At the same time, the World League also made a commitment to provide a batch of supplies to Tsarist Russia to ensure that the people of Tsarist Russia would not suffer any food crisis.

This was still attractive to Soviet Russia, which had a centralized system of rationing.

Soviet Russia did not have many supplies, and the World Union had completely cut off Soviet Russia's foreign trade routes, making it even more difficult to obtain supplies from abroad.

Before the 850,000 allied forces of the World League are fully assembled, the World League will bomb Moscow and large cities controlled by Soviet Russia to disrupt the order of Soviet Russia and extinguish Soviet Russia's hopes of victory in the war.

You must know that although the First World War has long ended, the research and development of aircraft in European countries has not stopped.

This intervention war is also an opportunity to test the quality of aircraft of various countries, and many countries have developed second-generation military aircraft, which has made considerable progress compared with the domestic aircraft at the beginning.

For example, Britain's aircraft manufacturing goal is to catch up with the performance of the first generation of Australasian military aircraft in a short period of time, and on this basis, to achieve surpassing as soon as possible, the British Empire has absolute superiority in both sea and air.

To this end, the British Empire spent a lot of manpower and material resources, which also set up a separate aircraft research laboratory to study the corresponding engines and designs for the aircraft.

Soviet Russia, Moscow.

At the meeting of the five-member presidium, which represented the supreme power of Soviet Russia, the faces of the five people at this time were not very good, and their expressions were very solemn.

"Comrade Lev Davydovich Bronstein, what are the chances of our army in the face of a menacing enemy?" The man sitting at the top asked with a blank face.

"With our sea completely blocked, our chances of winning are probably less than 30 percent." The man named Lev Davidovich Bronstein shook his head with a slightly wry smile and replied helplessly.

This figure is the result of an overestimate, after all, the menacing World Alliance coalition forces have the most advanced weaponry, and their army can barely even achieve a gun per person, and some guns are even older than everyone in the room, and can only be used as a burning stick.

"Still too low, Comrade Lev Davydovich Bronstein. As the chairman of the Revolutionary Military Council, I ask you to fulfill your duty and supervise every move of the army so that the country can survive this disaster. The man continued.

"Yes!" Lev Davidovich Bronstein nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Comrade Alexei Ivanovich Rykov, how long will our food supplies last?" After giving instructions to Lev Davidovich Bronstein, the man turned his gaze to Alexei Ivanovich Rykov, chairman of the Council of Soviet People's Commissars, and asked.

The post of Chairman of the Council of People's Representatives of the Soviet Union is the highest office of the Soviet government, equivalent to the positions of prime minister and prime minister of other countries.

However, the position of the head of the government was not the highest in the peculiar political environment of the Soviets, and was even weaker than that of the head and the chairman of the Revolutionary Military Council.

"It is conservatively estimated that our food should last for more than a year. If next year's grain harvest is good, there should be no food crisis in the short term. "As the head of the government, Alexei Ivanovich Rykov was well aware of his tasks and hastened to answer the questions after hearing them.

The leader nodded with satisfaction, and the worry in his heart relaxed slightly.

Regardless of the period, for a country, food reserves are the most important.

The hope of Soviet Russia to defeat the World League and Tsarist Russia depended not only on the fighting power of the front-line army and the degree of popular support for the government, but also on the material reserves, especially the grain reserves, of Soviet Russia.

People are iron, rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry. This applies not only to the general public, but also to government officials and the military.

Fortunately at other times, once a country is in a full-scale crisis, the turmoil brought to the country is huge, which can easily destroy the law and order of a country.

"Comrades, take action. In the face of the greatest crisis for our country, we must unite to get our great nation through this catastrophe. Comrade Lev Davydovich Bronstein, I would like you to report to me every day on the situation of the army and be ready to deal with the enemy forces of the World Alliance. ”

The Soviet government was still efficient, and with the end of the meeting of the five-member Presidium, the whole of Soviet Russia was mobilized to deal with what they considered to be the greatest crisis.

In St. Petersburg, the meeting in Tsarist Russia was much more relaxed.

Tsar Nicholas II, who had not shown up for a long time, not only attended the meeting in a high-profile manner at this time, but also showed a smile on his face again.

Tsar Nicholas II, who regained power, still held the position of titular commander-in-chief of Russia.

Of course, this time Nicholas II also learned wisely, although he was nominally the commander-in-chief of Russia, Nicholas II handed over the command of the army to his henchmen, and he himself sat firmly in the palace, in charge of the politics and logistics that he was better at.

Thanks to the previous bourgeois government's purge of the logistics department, the logistics department and even the entire government of Tsarist Russia were quite efficient.

It was not as good as the newly established Soviet Russian government, but it was much better than the previous tsarist government.

"When will the aid promised to us by the World Alliance arrive?" Nicholas II looked at the logistics minister he had just promoted, and asked.

"The first batch of aid should arrive in half a month, and the latest batch of aid should not exceed three months." When the logistics minister heard Nicholas II's inquiry, he quickly stood up and replied very respectfully.

After the baptism of the bourgeoisie, Nicholas II had a much deeper grip on the current tsarist government.

In the face of this very efficient government, Nicholas II was very satisfied.

"What are our material reserves at the moment? Will you be able to cope with the next big battle? Nicholas II nodded in satisfaction and continued to ask.

"Food reserves are a big problem, but after we lost some of the Eastern European region, the food crisis has been alleviated. At present, our food reserves should be able to hold on until next summer, and with the assistance from the World Union, it should not be a problem to hold on until the next bumper grain harvest. The logistics minister continued.

"How's the backup plan prepared? Is our retreat route still safe? Immediately afterwards, Nicholas II looked at his absolute confidant, Vladislav Kulikov, the head of the Tsar's secret police in St. Petersburg, and asked with a serious face.

"Your Majesty, we are always on the way to ensure the route from St. Petersburg to Siberia. I assure you that at any moment we can safely evacuate to Siberia. Vladislav Kulikov replied with the same serious face.

Since the last time St. Petersburg and the Winter Palace were easily captured by the rebels, Nicholas II clearly understood that St. Petersburg was not so safe.

Despite the negligence of the last time, this time it was a much more dangerous Soviet Russia, an insurrectionary army that had formed a climate.

In order to ensure his own safety and the safety of his family, and to prevent the rule of the Romanovs from dissipating in his own hands, Nicholas II devised a plan to ensure that he could flee east from St. Petersburg to Siberia at any moment.

The Siberian region was chosen because it was much larger and had a large number of peasants, which was the basis of the tsarist rule.

Secondly, further east, there is the Russian port of Vladivostok, which can still be connected with the other countries of the World Alliance, so that it will not be completely surrounded by Soviet Russia and become a state of catching turtles in the middle of a turtle.

You know, Vladivostok is much closer to Australasia than St. Petersburg is to Australasia.

When the time comes, it will be easier to gain support from Australasia, and it will not be difficult to maintain his rule.

The big deal was to fight a longer war of attrition with Soviet Russia, which was backed by the support of most countries anyway, and Soviet Russia faced a blockade from all countries.

After hearing that there were no problems with his retreat route, Nicholas II breathed a sigh of relief and had no worries at all.

I'm on the plane and go home today, and the ninth will begin to restore the two more guaranteed 6,000 words, and the middle of the month will start with 10,000 per day, ask for a monthly pass, ask for support!
