Chapter 41 Under the Wheels
"How? What else can be done?! "Yang Rui is very helpless, such a key figure was actually captured by himself, and he was accidentally killed by himself, so who else will launch a rebellion to launder the Bolsheviks in the future? Thinking of starting a rebellion, he put down the cigarette in his hand and asked: "What is the situation in Petersburg?" β
"The situation in Petersburg is still chaotic. The officers, who had just reacted from the Tsar's abdication and the events of July, were generally dissatisfied with the weakness and incompetence of the Provisional Government; The British also believed that the people there needed a whip to obey, and the French and the Americans had been trying to help stabilize the Provisional Government, and had provided more and more loans and all sorts of specialists, but to no avail.
In addition, it is already winter in St. Petersburg, and the operation of the railway system is still not improving. The judgment of the Russian Division was that the workers needed bread, the soldiers needed an armistice, and the peasants needed the government to recognize the land they had already received, and that these demands would not be satisfied, and that the political situation in Russia would not be stable for a day, and that the revolution would be natural. Zhang Shi said that the judgment of the Russian Department of the Intelligence Bureau on the situation in Russia was not as pessimistic as Yang Rui.
"Who is the current Russian commander-in-chief?" Yang Rui asked again.
"It's Mikhayel. Alekseev. An old Russian aristocratic general, although he was not good at war and had many opinions about the Provisional Government, he had no good feelings for the Bolsheviks at all. Zhang Shidao.
Mikhael. Alekseev was Kornilov's predecessor appointed as commander-in-chief of the Russian army by the provisional government, but Yang Rui had no impression of this, he saw that Zhang Shi always misunderstood what he meant, and couldn't help laughing: "Do you think I want to find a general who supports the Bolsheviks to launch a coup d'Γ©tat, and then help them seize power?" β
After Yang Rui finished speaking, Zhang Shi nodded, and the meaning on his face probably said: Isn't it rare? Yang Rui was very amused when he saw his expression, and said, "You are wrong." It is the so-called movement of the opposite. Whatever you want to achieve, you have to start from the opposite side. We are looking for a Russian general who is hostile to the Bolsheviks and at the same time impatient with the Provisional Government, or even a general who is in favor of the restoration of the Tsar, and only if such a right-wing person stands up that the situation can turn to the left. You think, if this general wants to overthrow the Provisional Government and restore the Tsar, then who can Kerensky of the Provisional Government turn to? β
"If this is the case, he can only find the Red Guards in the current situation, and it is rare to say ......." Zhang Shi's thinking was taken by Yang Rui, and he suddenly turned a corner.
"Yes, that's the truth. When looking at the Three Kingdoms, in the late Han Dynasty, the ten permanent servants were in chaos, and in order to eliminate the eunuchs, He Jin planned to transfer Dong Zhuo from other places to the capital to help suppress him, but what was the result? Yang Rui was no longer flustered at this time, and he had already made up his mind in his heart. β¦β¦ As a result, the front door drives wolves, and the back door welcomes tigers. The current situation in Russia is also like this, the Provisional Government is extremely weak, and there is not much strength to support him, but if there are aristocratic generals who are hostile to democracy and hostile to the Provisional Government and want to restore at this time to bring troops into Beijing, it will inevitably cause a panic in Kerensky Petersburg......
The strategy can be explained in this way, if the scientific analysis, you will find that this is a headache doctor, foot pain treatment of the typical problem, any problem will have its necessary background, not the whole to look at the problem but isolated, with the right way to solve the problem, the problem will only get bigger and bigger. β
Yang Rui said that he had learned about governing the country in the past few years, and he lit the cigarette just now very easily, and took a hard puff before saying: "Who are the generals who are hostile to the Bolsheviks and dissatisfied with the Provisional Government in Russia now?" β
"Almost all of them!" Zhang Shi replied quickly. "Most of the generals at the front, whether aristocratic or not, were hostile to the Bolsheviks, and they were all dissatisfied with the Provisional Government, despite its repeated reshuffling, seeing how it had behaved in recent months."
"Then who dares to overthrow the provisional government, and the power or skill is not enough, and the success is not enough and the defeat is more than enough?" Yang Rui asked again.
Zhang Shi replied quickly: "Sir, almost all of them!" β
Zhang Shi replied that both were both, and Yang Rui became more and more confident in his heart, and asked, "Then why don't they do it yet?" β
"This ......," Zhang Shi smiled slightly, "the key is the current commander-in-chief, Mihayel. Alesekev did not agree, and some of the generals wanted to go to Petersburg with their troops to abolish democracy and purge the Socialist-Revolutionaries after the events of July, but they all gave up under his persuasion. β
"Then find a way to get him to agree," Yang Rui said, "if you can't get him to agree, then either kill this person, or provoke those generals who dare to overthrow the provisional government to come out and make trouble, always in a word, to make the provisional government feel threatened, and at the same time think that the Red Guards are their only savior." β
"I see, sir." Zhang Shi replied, and at this time he finally used his ingenuity, and suggested, "Sir, I think the best way should be to disrupt the military transportation at the front, which will make the situation at the front even worse, and the generals will be even more dissatisfied with the Provisional Government, and if the soldiers make a big fuss, the situation will not be something that Alesekev can stop." β
"Very good!" Yang Rui said approvingly. "What are you going to do?"
"Sir, I'm going to let the Bolsheviks do it." Thinking of countermeasures, Zhang Shi also relaxed at this time, and the wheel of history turned. (To be continued......)
