Fengxian Jiangshan

The senior officials of Fengjun had made up their minds long ago, and they must take back the Middle East Road. Now that the opportunity was in front of everyone, everyone was a little nervous. After all, Fengjun was a local power in a weak country, while Russia was a huge empire. At the same time, Russia is still a member of the Allied Powers. Even if Russia changes, the big powers still hope that Russia can continue to fight and hold back the German army, and they will not sit back and watch China take back the Middle East Road.

More importantly, there is an ambitious Japan next to it, which is even more troublesome. After the Fengjun takes action, how will the Japanese react, and how should the Fengjun respond? It is best to plan the overall situation before taking action. Otherwise, acting rashly will only provoke the joint intervention of the big powers. In the end, not only will the Fengjun not be able to take back the railway, but it will also fall into crisis.

Zhang Zuolin scanned the audience, and then his eyes fell on Zhang Tinglan: "Zhuoyan, knowing yourself and the enemy, you can win every battle. You are most familiar with the situation in Tsarist Russia. Please introduce the situation to everyone, and then we will discuss the specific action plan. "

Zhang Tinglan nodded, sorted out her thoughts a bit, and then said: "The situation in Tsarist Russia is actually similar to the situation in the Qing Dynasty in the year of 1914. Russia has been at war with the Allies headed by Germany since [-], and its national power has been seriously damaged. Millions of Russians died. On the funeral battlefield, domestic conflicts erupted in an all-round way, which triggered the uprising to overthrow the tsar.

During the Revolution of [-], there were three major forces in China, one was the Revolutionary Party, the other was the Constitutional Party, and the other was the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.The current situation in Russia is also the same. There are still a large number of nobles and military generals who support the tsar in the country, forming a conservative force.

The second force is represented by the Socialist Revolutionary Party and minority parties, whose main supporters are capitalists, farmers, and intellectuals.Journalists, etc., they have similar views with the constitutional party, hoping to limit the power of the tsar through reforms and establish a real constitutional monarchy.

The last force is the majority party, which is somewhat similar to the Chinese Revolutionary Party, but there are considerable differences between the two. Sun Wen and his party have high-mindedness and low power, and they cannot come up with many ideas to win over the hearts of the people.The majority party in Russia has a complete theoretical system, which was born out of Ma Zi's theory of capital.They advocated the violent overthrow of the tsarist rule, and then the elimination of the bourgeoisie and the realization of public ownership of the means of production.

Regardless of whether this theory is reasonable or not, one thing is certain, their radical claims.Ushering in the support of the people at the bottom of Russia, let those almost desperate people see hope.And they are well organized.The mobilization ability is extremely strong, and they acted as the main force in the operation to overthrow the tsar. "

Zhang Tinglan briefly introduced the forces of the three parties. Everyone present was listening attentively. Lao Zhang frowned and straightened his mind.Then he said: "Zhuoyan, according to your statement, the majority party is the strongest, which means that they may win the final victory?"

"That's right. At present, there are two regimes in Russia. One is the Provisional Government, and the other is the Congress of Workers and Soldiers controlled by the majority party. Who is the true heir to the empire."

"Zhuoyan, just now you said that the majority party advocates the elimination of the bourgeoisie. Isn't that tantamount to opposing all rich people? Won't those powerful people rise up to resist?" Sun Liechen also raised his own question.

"It is true. They will definitely face strong opposition. Not only domestic forces, but also all the powers will unite against the majority party. That is why the powers will choose to recognize the provisional government after the fall of the Tsar. As for the majority party, then It is regarded as a scourge. However, I am not optimistic about the provisional government. Most of them are beneficiaries of the tsarist system, so these people will still continue the tsarist’s domestic and foreign policies, and it is precisely this revolution that proves that the tsar’s policies have changed. It's a dead end, and they can't go on."

Since modern times, Chinese people have always looked up to Western society. Some people bow down blindly, while others put themselves in a dark room and ignore them. No matter what kind of people they are, they are gone. If you have a peaceful mind, you will not be able to figure out the international situation.

Now that Zhang Tinglan has explained the power of Russia clearly, everyone feels that they have benefited a lot. Zhang Zuolin thought for a while, and then said: "Zhuoyan, now that the situation in Russia is clarified, how should we deal with it next, you also come up with it." A charter!"

"Marshal, I dare say that the power of the majority party in Russia will expand rapidly, and the powers will definitely use tough measures to deal with the majority party for the purpose of maintaining their own rule. If we want to get back the Middle East Road, we should mainly see It is the abacus of the great powers. As long as they think that Fengjun's control of the Middle East Road is good for them, or at least it will not harm their interests, the great powers will not join forces to exert pressure. On the contrary, they will hope to use the power of Fengjun to come The old forces in Russia, together against the majority party."

Zhang Tinglan promoted the military supplies trade between Fengtian and Russia more than a year ago. After more than a year of development, Fengtian has provided Russia with a large amount of military supplies. It can be said that Fengtian is already an important logistics source for the Russian army. With this status, Feng Jun also has a certain right to speak.

This is also Zhang Tinglan's willingness to give it a go, because if he wants to restrain the development of the majority party, he needs to rely on the power of Fengjun.

"So far, Russia is still in a confrontation between the two governments, and the great powers have not yet made a final decision. Therefore, we can use this time gap to play the slogan of protecting the Middle East Road and preventing materials from falling into the hands of the majority party. Gain control, and then take Horvath off the ground and take all the rights of way!"

There are actually two timings to attack the Middle East Road, one is after the February Revolution, and the other is after the majority party came to power. It is actually a matter worth thinking about when to attack.Zhang Tinglan initially thought that after the October Revolution, perhaps the pressure from the great powers would be less, but then Zhang Tinglan overturned her idea.

Because after the October Revolution, the big powers have already determined the plan of intervention, and the Middle East Road is an important stronghold of Russia in the Far East, and Horvath is a staunch royalist party. The big powers will definitely support him to oppose the majority party, which is exactly the case in history. , With the support of the great powers, the remnants of Belarus have been occupying the Middle East Road.Therefore, after the October Revolution, Feng Jun's attack on Horvath will definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of the great powers.

Moreover, the Japanese who are sharpening their knives may also take action in advance, under the banner of armed intervention in Russia, support Horwath's remnant forces, and push Japan's power deep into the Middle East Road. Once this situation occurs, Fengjun is tantamount to offending All the great powers were wiped out, and the situation was unprecedentedly bad.

After repeated weighing, Zhang Tinglan believes that the action must be as fast as possible.While the big powers have not finalized their policies towards Russia, the sooner they get the right of way, the more trouble they can avoid.After all, the provisional government still has the upper hand in Russia, and Horvath's value has not been magnified. The Fengjun is now intervening in the Middle East Road.There are only two enemies to face, one is Horvath.One is the interim government.

And the provisional government is still powerless.In fact, the only thing Fengjun had to face was Horvath, and the pressure was the least.

"We don't have to directly claim to take back the Middle East Road. We just want to protect the safety of the railway. We don't know how to control the flow of materials and avoid funding the majority party. We also want to prevent the majority party forces from invading China. I think this excuse is completely feasible. As for Hall Watt, if he is smart, we will cooperate too much. We can use his card in the future. If he dares to resist, we will kill him and put the blame on the Russian mutiny. Anyway, Russia is in chaos now. It's a pot of porridge!"

Zhang Tinglan has always been very cautious in doing things. Originally, he proposed to regain the Middle East Road. This goal is a bit ambitious for the current Fengjun. Controlling Horvath reduced the difficulty many times at once, and everyone also had the confidence to succeed.

Zhang Zuolin weighed it over and over again, and found that Zhang Tinglan's idea was very reliable, so he said: "I support Zhuoyan's plan, but the army has not moved, and public opinion goes first. I think we must first reflect the situation to Beiyang, mobilize public opinion, and publicize the situation. The chaos in Russia is harmful to us. In addition, Zhuo Yan, you can contact Horvath to see if he is willing to cooperate with us.

Zhang Zuolin's words undoubtedly finalized the final action plan, and Zhang Tinglan also agreed very much. Naturally, there would be a dedicated person responsible for how to mobilize public opinion. Zhang Tinglan's main goal fell on Horvath.

Just when Zhang Tinglan was about to visit Horvath, this guy actually delivered it to his door. This time Horvath was very rare, and he didn’t feel drunk at all. As soon as we met, he said to Zhang Tinglan: "Zhang, I need money, a lot of money , you must help me!"

Zhang Tinglan secretly laughed inwardly. Horvath was too unaware of the situation. He had obtained huge benefits in the smuggling trade, and he had also made considerable profits because of the cooperation with the gold mine. It was time to spit out the money.

"Old friend, what do you need funds for?" Zhang Tinglan asked calmly.

"Of course it is to deal with those damned rebels. They actually want to overthrow the great Tsar Majesty. This is an unforgivable sin. As a loyal subject of His Majesty, I must kill all those rebels and let His Majesty regain power. !"

"Let's be realistic!" Zhang Tinglan said with a sneer: "If you are really loyal to the Tsar, you shouldn't cooperate with me. You must know that the smuggling trade has also caused serious damage to Russia. If Russia can have today, you are also a criminal."

Zhang Tinglan's words were not the same as in the past, and Horvat's face changed. He barely suppressed his emotions, and then said: "Zhang, I can tell you boldly that His Majesty has a large number of supporters, and his power is unparalleled. Rebels don't last long, and you offer me some loans now that will pay you back multiple times later."

"Old friend, to be honest, I'm afraid I know the situation in Russia better than you. Your Majesty the Tsar has abdicated, and he has completely lost popular support. It will be useless to do anything else. If you are smart now, you should think about what to do." To protect your interests, how can you prevent your subordinates from rebelling, otherwise you will be completely overthrown like the Tsar!"

"Zhang, are you going to ask me for a loan?" Horvath also felt Zhang Tinglan's indifference, and his complexion was also very bad.

"That's right, I won't lend you a dime!"

"Then you give me all my deposits in Fengtian Bank, including the gold, which are all my personal things and my wealth. You will never put them in the hands of an unfriendly person!"

"Big Beard, I want to remind you, how much of the so-called wealth that belongs to you was scavenged from the Chinese, and how much blood and sweat of the Chinese people are in it. Do you deserve it?"

Now Horvath's eyeballs were completely rounded, and flames spewed out of his eyes, and he said loudly: "Don't think that if something goes wrong with the great Russia, you can trample Russia under your feet, let me tell you, this It's wishful thinking, it's daydreaming!"

"Horvat, you don't have to scare me. I also give you a suggestion. From now on, accept Fengjun's assistance in defending the Middle East Road. We will work together to prevent the invasion of the majority party forces. If you dare not agree, Fengjun will take decisive action." The measures and all consequences will be borne by you!"
