In Europe, no country doubted that Soviet Russia would become the final winner of the civil war. Throughout 1919, the Bolshevik Red Army continued to defeat the White Army and laid the victory through a series of great victories.

The two main players of the White Army, Denikin and Kolchak, were unable to meet and were defeated separately. Denikin had to retreat into Crimea, while Kolchak had to set out from Lake Baikal, and Vladivostok began a miserable walking migration.

When He Rui made a call to "prevent humanitarian crisis", European countries, which were hit by the huge social impact of the new Bolshevik regime, expressed their support without exception and began to slam the inhumaneness of the Bolshevik government in newspapers.

The European left-wing groups who supported the Bolshevik government began to curse He Rui in newspapers, as if He Rui was a relative of the Tsar.

European right-wing elements had no interest in He Rui, but at this time they started a war of verbal war with the left wing in the name of He Rui. For a moment, there were many praises to He Rui's views, as if He Rui's humanitarian spirit was saint.

Comrade Yue Fei, Chairman of the Russian Soviet Foreign Committee, was very unwilling to see such a public opinion situation, but he was too lazy to see those meaningless wars of words. Yue Fei talked with Comrade Lenin several times on this matter, and he found that Comrade Lenin's view of He Rui was becoming more and more positive, and he was really unacceptable.

Comrade Lenin has always been a minority in the Bolshevik center, but it is still the case now. Seeing Comrade Stalin leave the office with a determined look, the Yuefei member who "accidentally" reposted Comrade Lenin's view of He Rui felt much more relaxed.

The incredible success achieved by Comrade Lenin leading the revolution and the prestige brought by the Yuefei Committee were completely obedient. However, there were still people in the Bolshevik Center who dared to give straightforward opinions on Comrade Lenin. For example, Comrade Stalin and Comrade Trotsky.

Compared with Comrade Lenin, Comrade Stalin and Comrade Trotsky both have "extremely powerful" thick hair. However, Comrade Trotsky's hair is as elegant as a lion, and Comrade Stalin's hair is always meticulous and maintains a good hairstyle.

But no one in the Bolshevik Party paid attention to these things. Just by facing Comrade Stalin, you can feel the steely willpower of Comrade Stalin. Some people's willpower far exceeds the power they possess in their own body, and Comrade Stalin is undoubtedly the representative of such people.

There were not many people who were not affected by Comrade Stalin, and Comrade Lenin was undoubtedly one. When Comrade Lenin focused on his sharp eyes and met Comrade Stalin, even Comrade Stalin lowered his eyes, "Comrade Lenin, do you want to make concessions to the Chinese warlords?"

Lenin immediately understood who Stalin was referring to, "Comrade Stalin, my judgment was that He Rui was worried that a large number of White Guards would flee into the Northeast, so he pulled all countries into the water as much as possible. What is your judgment?"

Comrade Stalin raised his gaze and looked back at Comrade Lenin's sharp gaze, "Comrade Lenin, He Rui wants to use those White Guards, this is He Rui's conspiracy."

Lenin looked back at Comrade Stalin's resolute gaze and asked straightforwardly: "Since you think this is He Rui's conspiracy, then what is He Rui's purpose?"

Stalin replied decisively: "He Rui hopes to obtain territory in the Far East."

Lenin calmly continued to ask: "Then Comrade Stalin, who do you think is suitable for going to the Far East and how many troops do you need?"

Stalin was temporarily silent. The civil war was about to end, and Stalin had time to fully consider the direction in which Russia should go in the future. National defense security is undoubtedly the most important issue for Russia at present. If China still maintains a weak status, it will be the most beneficial to Russia. However, all the current intelligence shows that fierce changes are taking place in Northeast China.

During the fierce European war, Northeast warlord He Rui was rapidly advancing industrialization, implementing land reform, and building his own military industry. The exact figures obtained from the White Army's captives, Northeast China has provided the White Army with 600,000 rifles and tens of millions of bullets in the past year.

When the Red Army resolved the remnants of the White Guards in the Far East, they had to face a Northeastern Chinese army with millions of rifles. Although Comrade Stalin believed that this army lacked combat effectiveness, this number was enough to put the Bolshevik government under tremendous pressure. If He Rui's troops had the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army, the Bolshevik government would probably have to throw it into the entire Far East.

There is a worse situation, that is, He Rui supports the Kolchak army, and the new Soviet regime will face huge dangers. According to the practice of European powers, He Rui wants to build a Belarus Republic in the Far East to fight against the Soviet regime.

Before Comrade Stalin could speak, Comrade Lenin said: "I personally judge that He Rui would ask for a re-demarcation, but would not support Kolchak. This is the conclusion I have drawn from He Rui's latest diplomatic activities."

Stalin heard Comrade Lenin’s judgment on He Rui from Yuefei, and couldn’t help asking: “Because He Rui accused us of not doing well enough? Comrade Lenin, this Chinese warlord has never fought a war. I think his understanding of war is one-sided.”

Lenin smiled. His inspiring and upset laughter made Comrade Stalin's mood relieve a lot. After all, at the most critical period of the revolution, Comrade Lenin brought such laughter... Of course, he also scolded the Bolsheviks with ups and downs, which led the Bolsheviks to the road to victory.

Comrade Lenin explained: "Comrade Stalin, He Rui regards the Kolchak government as a refugee, not the Russian Provisional Government in his article. His views on the Tsar family are just a group of captured sinners. I think the attitude He Rui wants to express is very serious, and you can regard this as a temptation. I think this is a kind of temptation."

Comrade Stalin was not so optimistic about He Rui's judgment, but he did not continue to talk. This conversation had determined that the differences between him and Comrade Lenin were only on He Rui's basic position. This was enough. So Commissioner Stalin replied to his view, "Comrade Lenin, we don't have enough trains to drive in winter. I have suggestions on the regulations of the personnel in the department responsible for industrial production..."

The upper class of the country naturally has upper class work, and the personnel responsible for the frontline work also have their own responsibilities. Commander Tukhachevski was an old opponent of Kolchak, who defeated the elite troops of Kolchak approaching Moscow in the spring battle of 1919.

At this time in Omsk, Tukhachevsky frowned and discussed with the Red Army cadres the possibility of pursuing.

Even though every senior Red Army officer was full of determination to completely annihilate the White Guards, it was already snowing in Omsk, and no train was found east of Omsk, and only the empty Siberian railway tracks led to the east where Kolchak escaped.

It won't take long to go, the rails will be temporarily covered by thick snow. Even if a train arrives, it will be very difficult to pass. As for winters like walking or horses, no Russian knows that it is impossible.

Tukhachevsky slapped the pencil on the spread map and said unwillingly: "Can't be pursued!"

All the Red Army commanders attended the meeting did not express their objections or even spoke. Everyone either sat down in disappointment, took out the wrinkled cigarette box, and took out the cigarette roll. For a moment, the command center was very depressed. Tukhachevsky couldn't bear the atmosphere, pushed open the door and walked out.

No one kept up, and everyone knew that if he was too close to Tukhachevsky, perhaps this commander with a bad temper would be cursing.

Finally, a commander said hatefully: "I hope these white bandits will all freeze to death in the snow and ice!"

Almost all the Red Army commanders in the house had the same idea.

Since so many people hope that Kolchak will die, there will be many people hoping that Kolchak will be safe and sound. With He Rui’s understanding of Europe and the United States, Kolchak is a dead dog. Given the valueless dead dog, it is the usual style of Europe and the United States. So when the British Ambassador to China Jurden ran from the capital to Shenyang, he asked, "If Your Excellency the Chairman transports supplies to Kolchak, what kind of help is needed?" He Rui felt very surprised. The anxious expressions of the British were indeed not like something that the British could do.

He Rui did not believe in the sincerity of the British, so he answered bluntly: "Transporting materials requires military protection."

Jurden reposted London's opinion, "Britain is very grateful for your actions to send troops to Kolchak."

He Rui did not answer immediately. Juerdian's so-called "understanding" refers to the fact that if He Rui occupied Russian territory, Britain would never have any substantial opposition now.

This is the diplomacy of imperialist countries. They will never give up the opportunity to demonstrate their justice and morality. If He Rui seizes Russia's land, Britain will condemn it and express Britain's expectations and efforts for peace. However, Britain will not send troops, and even instigate He Rui to send troops as he is now.

He Rui didn't want to be instigated by the UK at all, so after thinking for a while, He Rui said decisively: "This kind of aid may require millions or even ten million pounds."

Zhu Erdian was not scared by the price offered by He Rui. Even if he couldn't look at the problem from He Rui's standpoint, Zhu Erdian believed that saving the life of Belarus by 5-8 pounds is not expensive. Especially after so many people were repaired in Vladivostok for half a year, they would likely become a combat-ready army.

On the contrary, He Rui's attitude made Zhu Erdian notice some subtext, "Your Excellency doesn't want to send troops into Russia?"

"Have you seen the records of my press conference?" He Rui asked back.

Zhu Erdian was very surprised. The Beiyang senior executives in the capital of China did not dare to do anything to Tsarist Russia because these Beiyang leaders were very weak. He Rui was not such a person. If He Rui did not enter Russia, the reason must be because He Rui was not prepared to do so after planning. It must be said that this is a very cautious choice and a good choice.

In addition, He Rui also clearly expressed his concerns about Japan's possible sabotage of peace at the press conference, which is a very serious political judgment.

Thinking of this, Zhu Erdian asked: "Your Excellency, when will you be able to provide support as soon as possible?"

"The funds are in place, the action begins!" He Rui replied cheerfully. He discussed with the British that both sides are willing to carry out, and it is best to say things without any ambiguity. Money has its own logic for the British.

Juerdian ended his meeting with He Rui. As soon as he returned to the consulate, consulate staff came to report, "Mr. Morixun is here."

Juerdian quickly greeted Morixun. When the two met, they saw Morixun's serious expression. Juerdian felt that something was afraid that something had happened. Morixun said bluntly: "The Northeast government is preparing to purchase a batch of British equipment and technology. I have been appointed as the leader of the negotiation team. I came to inform His Excellency Juerdian."

Zhu Erdian was stunned for a moment, and then he was a little happy. He Rui always did things so in line with the taste of a civilized world. If millions or even tens of millions of pounds were paid to the Northeast Bank, it would arouse clear opposition from the UK.

After the European War, the domestic economy of Britain suffered great damage and it was indeed necessary to drive the economy. However, He Rui went to the UK to purchase a batch of equipment and technology, and eventually British companies and merchants asked for payment from British banks, which solved too many troubles. It could even become a political achievement of the British cabinet.

So Juerdian hurriedly ordered the consulate to prepare the meal and invited Morixun to stay for dinner. Morixun did not refuse. During the waiting time before the meal, Morixun chatted with Juerdian, but didn't speak much. Juerdian learned that Morixun was going to lead a delegation to the UK, and couldn't help but miss it, "Mr. Morixun, after you arrive in London, there will definitely be a large number of companies that will invite you to the best restaurant in London for dinner. There is a restaurant on Downing Street. I haven't been to many years, and I don't know if it's still there."

Hearing this, Morrixun couldn't help it, "Your Excellency, Your Excellency He Rui appointed me as the head of the delegation, not because I am a British person. But because Your Excellency He Rui believes in my abilities and personal trust in me. So I will repay this trust."

Juerdian didn't expect Morixun to see this, and was a little stunned for a moment. But after a moment, Juerdian smiled and said, "Mr. Morixun, many Chinese believe that every British man is an imperialist, a massacre, and an opium dealer. Indeed, we have done what they said, but the strength of Britain is precisely because of the support of honest and trustworthy British people like you. I have some friends in the British political circle. I will write you an introduction letter later. Please take these introduction letters to them. I believe it will be helpful to you."

Faced with such kindness, Morrixun quickly replied: "Thank you, sir. If you have any letters or other things, please tell me."

Juerdian thought for a while, "I'm about to step down from this position and accumulated some information during my inauguration. I want to donate this information to the University of Edinburgh to establish an archive. I remember Mr. Morrison was a graduate of the University of Edinburgh. Please help me for this matter."

When mentioned to his alma mater, the serious expression on Morrison's face disappeared and he replied happily: "Please allow me to serve you in this matter."

Morrixun was preparing for the trip, and Northeast Investment and Merchants was also preparing because the director of the Northeast Investment and Merchants Bureau wanted to lead the team to the UK to introduce technical equipment. The young Wang Donglu was really surprised and happy to learn that he had also been arranged on the delegation list.

"Comrade Wang Donglu, your foreign language is American English, right?" The head of the Personnel Section of the Investment and Merchants Bureau raised a question during the conversation.

"I also know some British accents." Wang Donglu replied quickly, afraid that this small problem would be eliminated.

The Human Resources Department Chief smiled and said, "Then let me tell you."

"mayihelpyou,sir." Wang Donglu tried his best to show his abilities in British-style English.

However, Wang Donglu knew that his American-style English was really different from the so-called British accent. The head of the Personnel Section couldn't help but smile. The Investment and Merchants Agency received so many British people, and the British accents could still be distinguished from American accents.

However, the Human Resources Department Chief did not pick on this matter. After all, both the British accent and the American accent are English, and the important thing is to understand English. After ending this question, the Human Resources Department Chief asked: "Comrade Wang Donglu, which university did you apply for when you went to study in the United States?"

Wang Donglu suppressed his joy and answered calmly: "Massachusetts Institute of Technology majoring in mechanical engineering."

"Which group do you want to join in this time?"

"It's better to be a mechanical group. I want to build machinery for China."

The Personnel Section Chief hesitated for a moment, "The organization wants you to participate in the group inspecting British aircraft manufacturing companies. Do you have any problems?"

After the talks, Wang Donglu felt his heart beating faster and his whole body seemed to be about to fly. Wang Donglu himself knew that the plane was very interested in this kind of machinery that could fly in the sky. However, the United States still has no specialized aircraft manufacturing major, so Wang Donglu thought that he could participate as much in this field of science as possible after he arrived in the United States. Of course, he had never told anyone other than his mother about this matter. Unexpectedly, he was so lucky that he was assigned to a group that could be introduced into the plane.

Walking in the corridor of the China Merchants Building, Wang Donglu felt his feet weak, knowing that it was because he was too excited. Wang Donglu stopped and patted his face, and told himself in his heart, "Don't be excited, don't be excited!"

After barely recovering some calmness, Wang Donglu thought for a while before he remembered that he had been called out of the mailroom and had not finished his work. He quickly accelerated his pace to return to the mailroom, received the documents and a cart, and carried a backpack with a sign-in board on his back, and began to deliver documents on each floor.

At this time, the Military Commission was also holding a meeting, and senior officers such as Xu Chengfeng gathered together. After discussing with Xu Chengfeng and others, Cheng Ruofan had completely overturned the plan to build permanent fortifications. At this time, he felt that he had finally had the opportunity to discuss this matter in person with He Rui. After seeing He Rui enter the door, Zheng Silang followed behind in military uniform and armbands of military representatives, and felt very happy for a moment.

Cheng Ruofan and Zheng Silang were a little acquainted with each other, and felt that Zheng Silang was finally coming back.

Everyone sat down and He Rui said, "There are two things in this meeting. One is to send troops to Russia to send humanitarian supplies to Kolchak. I want to emphasize to the comrades that when I was at my age, I was also full of nationalist sentiment. Recovering lost ground was just a second-hand idea. At that time, my main idea was to conquer the world, including but not limited to killing all the citizens of the great powers of various countries. Regarding this troop to Russia, I want to emphasize that we should not consider issues with nationalist ideas and emotions. However, it does not mean that I criticize everyone for having nationalist sentiment. Next, everyone can start discussing."

The content of He Rui's opening remark surprised the comrades so much that they could not speak. Xu Chengfeng was quite calm, and even so, he did not expect to march into Russia so soon. For a moment, nouns such as the Treaty of Aihui had already come to his mind.

After barely suppressing the impulse, Xu Chengfeng tried his best to sort out He Rui's words just now and probably understood two key points. The first one is naturally to march into Russia, and the second one is not to have the idea of ​​occupying Russian territory just because of it.

Just as he understood this, Cheng Ruofan asked: "Chairman, why can't he recover the lost territory at this time?"

Cheng Ruofan's words represent the first thought that emerged from Xu Chengfeng. Even though he knew that he was so excited and was not serious, Xu Chengfeng could only barely suppress the impulse. He heard He Rui answer: "Ruofan, politics is a very serious matter. If we want to recover lost territory, we must formulate a policy to recover lost territory, and then implement it after serious deduction. This attitude of beating rabbits is extremely unserious when it comes to politics. This is my reason."
