Moscow, the Kremlin, which has become the seat of the Russian government. Revolutionary mentor Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov worked here. After the victory of the Bolsheviks in the revolution, countless Bolsheviks rejoiced, and many began to enjoy the fruits of the victory.

However, because they signed the Treaty of Brest with Germany, the Entente regarded Soviet Russia as a traitor and decided to start intervening in Soviet Russia. This put the nascent Soviet Russia in a crisis. If you are not careful, I am afraid that you may be wiped out by the intervention forces of the Entente and the White Army.

In the office of Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, several Bolsheviks and the top leaders of the Soviet government gathered here. Everyone looked serious and smoked cigarettes one by one, making the whole office full of smoke, as if there was a fire.

The nascent Russian government, although it gained the right to rule Russia. However, the rebels everywhere, coupled with the intervention of the Entente, made Soviet Russia face a great dilemma, and if it was not careful, it could be destroyed. At this time, Soviet Russia can be said to be facing internal and external troubles.

"Comrades, let's talk about it, what should we do now?" This was stated by Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov. He managed to sit in the position of the supreme leader of the Bolshevik Party and Soviet Russia, and of course he was not willing to give it up. In order for the revolution to be victorious, he was willing to betray even the interests of Russia.

"Comrade President, the siege of the rebels, the attack of the foreign intervention forces, has brought our revolution to the point of life and death. We have to fight back. Only by defeating them once and for all can our revolution be truly victorious. Trotsky said. Trotsky also had a great influence in the Bolshevik Party and in the Soviet government. And even to some extent, it is possible to stand up to Ulyanov. You know, at the time of armistice negotiations with Germany. Ulyanov's proposal was rejected several times. Had it not been for Trotsky's compromise, the armistice would not have been signed until now. At that time, Ulyanov, in the Bolshevik Party, was far from having such a high status as it is now. Even now, Trotsky and others still have a great influence.

"Comrade President. The enemy is outstanding. Those white troops are also counted, although they are strong, they are just a rabble. With our revolutionary army, we will certainly be able to defeat them. However, the intervention armies of the great powers are different. Many of them were elite troops who had experienced the brutal First World War, and they were more powerful than our revolutionary army. Bukharin said.

"The great powers are in the midst of a world war and cannot draw too many troops to interfere in our revolution. With the combat strength of our revolutionary army, we will definitely be able to win in the end. "Stalin expressed his opinion.

Ulyanov nodded: "Everyone. The three great powers of Britain, France, and the United States together only sent more than 10,000 troops and less than 20,000 troops. It can be seen that what they attach most importance to is the First World War, not to interfere with us. This is undoubtedly an opportunity for us. We must defeat the White Army and the Intervening Army before the end of the World War, and truly gain the dominance of Russia. In this way, we will be able to confront the Western powers. ”

"Comrade President. Let's not forget that Japan promised to send 200,000 troops to intervene in us. And the Chinese Empire in the East. But seven or eight hundred thousand troops were sent to invade us. Now our territories in Central Asia and Siberia are being largely lost. Trotsky said.

Everyone couldn't help but be silent, it is true that the Western powers did not send many troops to participate in the war to intervene in Russia because of the world war. However, the Chinese Empire dispatched 780,000 troops to attack on a large scale! Large lands of Central Asia and Siberia. It has fallen into the hands of the Chinese Empire. Many places were prepared by the Bolsheviks to launch an uprising and then occupy. By now, the uprising had long been suppressed, and the Bolsheviks had suffered heavy casualties. This is for the whole of Soviet Russia. It was undoubtedly a heavy blow.

In addition, if the 200,000 elite troops that the Japanese Empire promised to send arrived in Europe to participate in the war, Soviet Russia would probably have to send 450,000 troops to be able to confront it. At present, the total number of troops that the Russian government can control is only a few hundred thousand.

"To expand the army, we must expand the army on a large scale. With St. Petersburg and Moscow as the center, recruit the broad masses of workers and peasants into the revolutionary army to defend our revolution and our country. Trotsky said.

"We can't afford to raise so many troops with our current financial resources. Even if we can recruit enough soldiers, we don't have the weapons to arm them! Bukharin said.

"We, the Bolsheviks, should fully develop our style, and military salaries and the like can be completely exempted, so that we can save a lot of money. As for armament, it is possible to collect weapons left over from the tsarist period. The arsenals under our control must also step up production. Trotsky said.

Because of the years of war, Russia's industry has been devastated. After the signing of the Treaty of Brest, a large number of industrial areas were ceded to Germany, which made Russia's industry even worse, not only lacking resources, but also lacking machinery and equipment and workers, and it was undoubtedly very difficult to develop.

However, there is no other way for the current Soviet Russia, and the Western powers obviously do not allow the existence of Soviet Russia, if they do not fight to the death, then what awaits them is complete annihilation.

"No matter how difficult it is, we have to rise to it. Only by defeating these imperialist countries can we be truly safe. Only by our revolution can we achieve victory. Comrade Trotsky, you will be responsible for the expansion of the army. We must defeat the White Army and the intervention armies of the Great Powers on a frontal battlefield. Ulyanov said.

"Yes, Comrade Chairman." Trotsky nodded.

"However, in order for our revolution to be victorious, we need to make some arrangements. Our greatest enemy now is the White Army, loyal to the Tsar and the bourgeoisie, who want to overthrow our revolution. The enemy from inside is often more ferocious than the enemy from outside. Only by solving the internal enemy can we unite the strength of the whole country to confront the great powers. Ulyanov said.

The rest of the Bolshevik party leaders nodded their heads.

"Secondly, there is the interference of the Western powers in us. Britain, France, the United States and other countries, although they have the intention of interfering with us. However, because of the impact of the world war, they could not send too many troops to attack us. As long as we can defeat the first armies they sent, we win. It is unlikely that they will send other armies against us in the future. Ulyanov continued.

Although Britain, France, the United States and other powers were powerful, as long as these powers did not go all out, they would not pose a mortal threat to Soviet Russia. Even if the world war is over, the countries that have suffered heavy losses in the war will definitely not send troops to attack Soviet Russia on a large scale, at most they will send a small number of troops. The usual tactics of these powers were to support the White Army, and as long as the revolutionary army of Soviet Russia could defeat the White Army, Soviet Russia would win.

"The combined number of troops sent by Britain, France, and the United States is less than 20,000. It's not very difficult to defeat them. Trotsky said.

"In the end, we have to face the Chinese Empire. Although the Chinese Empire is a relatively recent country. However, the country was controlled by a decaying feudal monarchy and was very reactionary. The Chinese are very ignorant, and they completely respect their emperor as a god. Fortunately, the country is too far away from Russia. Even if they pushed westward with all their might, they would at most advance into the Ural Mountains and the Ural River, and did not threaten the Russian hinterland. They won't even advance to these areas yet. Therefore, from the current point of view, the Chinese Empire poses the least threat to us. At most, they recovered some of the territories that had been seized during the Tsarist era. Therefore, we can send special envoys to the Chinese Empire to start secret peace talks with them, so as to buy us enough time for development. Ulyanov said.

"Comrade President, the Chinese are also very greedy. Their armies are aggressively encroaching on our territories in Siberia and Central Asia. If we make peace with them, then we will lose these territories. Trotsky frowned. In order to end the war, they did not hesitate to bow to the Germans and lost a large amount of territory. If you want to grovel to the Chinese, then don't you have to lose a lot of territory? This made Trotsky somewhat unacceptable.

Although, these Bolsheviks were all communists. However, they were first Russians, and then Bolsheviks. Therefore, many of them put Russia's interests first. Therefore, Ulyanov's words made them feel a little uncomfortable.

"Comrades, our compromise with Chinese imperialism is only temporary. After we have defeated the White Army and the Western powers, we will be strong enough to start a war with Chinese imperialism. At that time, we will take back all the territories we have lost, and we will even be able to liberate those Chinese who have been oppressed by feudal rule. Ulyanov hurriedly said.

Such a statement is satisfactory to everyone. The reason for giving in now is to be able to get one step closer in the future.

"Comrades, if you have no objections, let's follow this strategy. The future of the revolution is in our hands. Ulyanov said with confidence. (To be continued.) )
