Chapter 9: Upheaval is Imminent (Revision)
It was also May 1917, when China's severe ice was coming from the south and saw the possibility of some kind of resolution, but Russia was preparing to stage an even greater bloody storm.
With the victory of the February Revolution, the workers' and peasants' movement weakened for the time being. This reflects the fragility and weakness of the revolution in the workers' and peasants' movement without the leadership of a strong and effective political party.
The First World War was still going on, and Russian soldiers on the front line were engaged in hopeless and bloody battles against the more well-equipped German units.
The leader of the Russian Duma (parliamentary) committee at that time, Pavel. A more moderate revolutionary like Milyukov, after overthrowing the Tsar, had to think about the future of Russia as a whole.
They wanted to end the war as soon as possible, and the First World War had already cost Russia too many resources and lives.
If you give up the war at this time, then everything you have paid in the early stage may be in vain. Even if the war in Europe is victorious, Russia will lose all the benefits that can be distributed after the victory in the war.
The State Duma, which had begun to come to power, also understood that the Russian people, who had a lower level of cultural knowledge, were likely to focus more on their immediate interests than on the things that should be the focus of the government in their hearts.
Therefore, the government of the bourgeoisie and the Mensheviks (the right wing of the Bolshevik Party) had no intention of immediately stopping this war, which the Bolshevik Party regarded as a bourgeois war, in which the Russians continued to shed their blood and sacrifice at the front.
In order to support the war, the country is still constantly conscripting and expropriating. The common people are almost on the verge of despair, and the Russian economy is on the verge of collapse.
On April 17, 1917, Lenin led the central organs of the Bolsheviks back to Russia under the protection of the German army. Subsequently, at the Bolshevik Conference in the Tavlida Palace, he made "On the Tasks of the Proletariat in this Revolution", which is known as the "April Theses".
It reads as follows:
1. To point out that the bourgeois-democratic revolution in Russia has been completed and that it should be transitioned to the socialist revolution and that it is the dictatorship of the proletariat and the poor people;
2. It proposes that the new form of state power should be a Soviet republic and not a bourgeois parliamentary republic;
3. Pointing out that the war waged by the bourgeois Provisional Government is still an imperialist war of aggression and predation, and that the bourgeois Provisional Government must be overthrown in order to stop the war;
4. Put forward the slogans "give no support to the bourgeois Provisional Government" and "All power to the Soviets".
5. Provision for the economic aspect, the confiscation of landlords' land and the nationalization of all land; Nationalization of banks by merging all banks into one national bank. There were Soviets of Workers' and Soldiers' Deputies exercising supervision over social production and distribution.
When this thousand-word outline becomes the initial action, it is as simple as one sentence.
"The war must be stopped immediately, ended immediately, there is no need for us Russians to shed any more blood for the war of the Western bourgeoisie!"
This was only a simple sentence, but it aroused renewed hope among the broad masses of workers and peasants. The soldiers at the front broke up in droves under such a call and ran back to Russia in a mess. Along the way, they are like a swarm of locusts, and they will not hesitate to use more force if they can get it or through violent means.
These actions have made the chaotic country even more chaotic, and the restless people more uneasy, so the conditions are ripe for revolution.
But before the Bolsheviks under Lenin's leadership were about to start another revolution, they had to decide another matter, and it was a matter of whether they could get more aid.
After discussing the adoption of the April Theses, the Central Committee of the Bolshevik Party, led by Lenin, was faced with a number of practical decisions.
"The Chinese have suggested that they need to have a large airfield where their airships can dock and work without interference, so that they can bring us much-needed weapons and ammunition."
According to our comrades at the front, their weapons are very useful. Especially the submachine guns they sold to the Germans. During the February Revolution, many comrades fell under the dense rain of bullets formed by this weapon!
So I hope you can pay attention to this ......"
But in the face of these interests, the Russian Bolsheviks were not without misgivings.
"Their personnel here must have some light guard weapons, and they will not accept our protection and management, I think this is a matter of detriment to the sovereignty of the country, or we should refuse their assistance!"
As the discussion progressed, the dissatisfaction became more and more evident in the eyes of the leaders. He knew that the questions raised by those who had come out to oppose seemed to be able to tell some about the problem. And in the final analysis, it is actually a problem of the distribution of weapons and equipment in these quite large quantities.
Although the Bolsheviks could find many allies among the soldiers returning from the front, they had no weapons, no equipment, and almost everything.
Although there are not many things such as food and medicine sent by the Chinese, the whole system of German-made weapons, more ammunition and other equipment, especially the arrival of some armored vehicles, will undoubtedly greatly increase the attack capability of the Bolshevik armed forces.
In the minds of the leaders, many people who occupy high positions in the party always like to seize more resources and arms in their own hands, after all, these are some kind of symbols of their position of power after the success of the revolution.
Someone in the leadership coughed lightly, and the meeting room immediately fell silent, and everyone looked at him with their eyes, as if they hoped that he would come to "comment" on everyone, or expect to see his wishes.
"I think we should trust them, because these Chinese belong to a political party, the China Renaissance Party, which has no roots in China." But they already had a strong army, small in number, but they were very capable in terms of the fact that they could fight the Germans and achieve victory.
So I would say that we are going to cooperate more with them, and it would not be wise not to cooperate with them until our revolution has not won enough.
As for their coming to Russia, I think their purpose was twofold: first, to see if the ultimate ownership of our state power could help them in the revolution that they would inevitably carry out in China in the future. Second, they may have stayed there to find out how the capitalist countries of the West would react to our socialist revolution and what actions we would take to prove our strength.
Based on the above two considerations, I think for the time being, we need such allies. No matter what kind of revolution they will have in the future, if they can get along with us amicably. This will be one of the decisive factors for the future development of our country, and I hope that all comrades will have a long-term view when considering issues.
We need to learn more about the Chinese Baath Party, especially the factions within it and the strength of each faction. Whether these forces are armed or economic are things we need to understand.
As for their base for transporting supplies to us, I think it is placed near Lake Ladoga, so that we can receive it without causing dissatisfaction on the other side. But on the periphery, we have to have enough people, mainly to protect the safety of their personnel.
The matter was thus settled, and the next question to be discussed was how we would deal with the interference that the Germans were likely to have.
Note to comrades, that the Germans themselves are not without contradictions. According to some information we have received, the officers and men of their fleet in the port of Kiel have serious misgivings about fighting the Allied fleet, and the internal conflict is becoming more and more intense because of the war.
We all have to make good use of it! And, with the support of these weapons resources, I think we can be ready for action.
I would like to ask the comrades of the Party to pay attention to the intensification of the propaganda offensive, especially among the troops at the front, and to work very hard, and if all is good at all, I think that our revolution will soon have the strength to mobilize! ”

These conclusions determined that Tang Yunyang could deploy an elite special detachment near Lake Ladoga, near St. Petersburg (Leningrad), the capital of Russia at that time. The reason for this is well known to everyone, and I will not mention it here.
Unlike Russia, where the weather is still cold, the Truk Islands are always hot. In the past month, the training of the troops scheduled to participate in the war of Thunder International has never stopped.
The troops of the Air Strike Division need to sit in a "meteorite" once a day and be thrown from the sky by an airship. Marines, on the other hand, have to take their amphibious armored vehicles several times a day to get back to the beach.
As for the navy, because it was operating with the German cruiser, Luckner, a German naval officer, was brought in to command the entire fleet. While they were honing in naval tactics, they also had to learn to listen to the "Chinese" that came from Colonel Luknall, which did not quite fit the Chinese sense.
Of course, the standard combat orders were listened to every day for a month, and they were about used to it. Only those Chinese that are not usually used, and which this Colonel Lucknar will never speak, will speak in the mouth of the translator.
But at this time, the naval officers of Thunder International will be worried, will the translator translate the words that do not reach the meaning?
However, time was running out, and there was no time to prepare them for more operations.
The current situation is that although the Red Baron was trained by the sea Hurricane, the flight team and equipment of more than 200 people were transported to Irian Island by the sea Hurricane. They were able to further learn flying skills during the war while blocking the offensive of the British and Australian armies.
However, the counteroffensive on the ground could not be carried out because of the insufficient number of troops. During the offensive and defensive battles on Irian Island, the consumption of materials was a cause for concern. Because what happens if everything is in place and only supplies are owed.
There is no doubt that at that time, all the sacrifices will be in vain.
