Shen Wanqing sighed, and said: "We have established an 'Anti-Tsar Alliance' in Russia. The participants are mainly students and young workers. The number of participants is not small. I can't figure out why the situation in Moscow has become like this."

Lin Yuan thought for a while and said: "We have no good solution now, we can only wait and see what happens, you go back first, and let me know as soon as there is news."

Shen Wanqing nodded, turned around and walked out. Lin Yuan picked up the phone on the table and instructed the 60th Airborne Division to enter a first-level war readiness state. In this case, only the 60th Airborne Division can respond quickly, and the Since the 32nd Air Cavalry Division is mainly equipped with helicopters, its maneuvering speed is far behind that of the 60th Airborne Division.

After Lin Yuan gave the order, a servant came in and said, "Marshal Lin, the Tsar has news."

Lin Yuan hurriedly asked, "What's the news?"

The attendant said: "We have just received news from St. Petersburg that the Tsar has withdrawn from Moscow and is living in the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg."

In this era, the capital of Tsarist Russia was St. Petersburg, but Moscow was still the political, economic and cultural center of Russia, and the Tsar lived in the Kremlin.

Lin Yuan hurriedly asked: "Is there any other news?"

The attendant said: "The tsar declared the mass incident in Moscow to be a rebellion against the country, and has mobilized the elite troops stationed in St. Petersburg-the Guards to Moscow to suppress it."

Lin Yuan asked: "Does the Imperial Guard still serve the Tsar?"

The attendant said: "From the information we have, it is like this. The commander of the Janissaries is extremely loyal to the Tsar. He has pledged his death allegiance to the Tsar on many occasions. The commander of the Janissaries is named 'Nikolayevich' , the uncle of Tsar Nicholas II."

Lin Yuan was relieved, and thought to himself: "It's good that Russia still has a government, but I'm afraid it will fall into anarchy, and then it will not end."

Lin Yuan instructed Shen Wanqing to hide the "anti-tsarist coalition" in Moscow and refrain from too many activities to avoid being massacred by the Russian army.

Lin Yuan wanted the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to issue a telegram, expressing China's position in the telegram, but Lin Yuan was a little uncertain about how to write this statement, because he couldn't figure out what the nature of the turmoil in Moscow was. After all, this turmoil was not led by my own people. If it was led by my own people, then there must be a clear political purpose, and it would be good if I clearly expressed my support.

But this turmoil is very likely to be initiated by the people spontaneously. After all, the tsar’s nationwide conscription of troops and grain has hurt the hearts of the people and caused the tsar to lose the support of the people. Indispensable.There is an old saying in China: "Poor people live in treacherous schemes, but rich people grow their conscience." Russian people live in poverty, and there must be many bad people.

Those bad guys smashed, smashed and looted everywhere, and the kind-hearted people couldn't stand it. If they express their support clearly, they will undoubtedly lose the support and trust of the people, and they will also give hostile countries the excuse that "China supports the rioters, smashing and looting", Lin Lin After thinking about it for a long time, he decided not to make a statement yet, and wait until the situation in Moscow is stable, and then let the "anti-tsarist alliance" under his control carry out a campaign with clear political goals to overthrow the tsarist rule.

At that time, I can still let the 7th Division and the 60th Division enter Russia, and take over the Russian regime as a matter of course. Lin Yuan's wishful thinking was well planned, but the situation changed again. , Russian Tsar Nicholas II officially announced his abdication!

Beijing time is five hours earlier than St. Petersburg time, so Beijing time is exactly six o'clock in the morning. When the attendant delivered the news to Lin Yuan, Lin Yuan was having breakfast. He was so shocked by the news that he dropped his chopsticks. on the table.

Seeing this, Shen Wanqing hurriedly asked, "What happened?"

Lin Yuan said: "The Russian Tsar has abdicated!"

Shen Wanqing smiled and said, "This is a good thing."

Lin Yuan shook his head silently, and said, "This is a huge bad thing."

Shen Wanqing was taken aback, and asked, "What a terrible thing? Why do you say that?"

Lin Yuan sighed and said, "There will be a power vacuum when the Tsar abdicates. Who will fill such a big vacuum? Also, why did the Tsar abdicate?"

Shen Wanqing thought for a while and said, "Maybe Princess Ililovna made sense of the czar."

Lin Yuan shook his head and said: "Impossible, Nicholas II is a politician with strong wrists, how could he be persuaded by a little girl, I asked Princess Ililovna to persuade the Tsar, but I didn't want to make her sad That's all."

Shen Wanqing put down her chopsticks and said, "Then I'll contact the St. Petersburg Intelligence Station to find out what happened."

Lin Yuan looked at Shen Wanqing's half-eaten steamed stuffed bun, and said, "Go after the meal, it's not too late."

Shen Wanqing smiled coquettishly and said, "You can eat for me." Then she walked out.

After Lin Yuan had breakfast, he came to the office. At this moment, Shen Wanqing hurried in and said to Lin Yuan, "I figured out the situation."

Lin Yuan hurriedly asked: "What's going on? Tell me quickly."

Shen Wanqing said: "According to reports from our intelligence station, the Tsar's abdication was the idea of ​​the Imperial Guard Commander Nikolaevich."

Lin Yuan frowned, and said, "Isn't he the czar's uncle? He also said that he would swear allegiance to the czar. Why did he let the czar abdicate?"

Shen Wanqing shook her head and said, "We still don't know about this."

Lin Yuan asked: "How did the people at the intelligence station know about this?"

Shen Wanqing said: "We have an intelligence agent who is an attendant of the Russian Tsar, not a close servant, but a small official in charge of security around the palace. He happened to be on duty last night. He saw Nikolaevich leading the troops After breaking into the Tsar’s residence, Nikolaevich also disarmed all the original Tsar’s guards—the Winter Palace guards, and replaced all the guards with members of the Praetorian Guard!”

"After that, at one o'clock in the morning on February 2, the tsar announced his abdication, so the abdication must have something to do with Nikolaevich. Do you think Nikolaevich wants to be the tsar himself?"

Lin Yuan thought for a while and said, "Probably not. Now the tsar has become the target of public criticism. No one is so stupid as to become the tsar himself."

Shen Wanqing asked: "Then what does this Nikolaevich want to do? Could it be that he, like us, wants to liberate the suffering people in Russia?"

Lin Yuan frowned, and didn't speak for a while, then suddenly heaved a long sigh and said, "It seems that the situation in Russia is even more troublesome!"
