Chapter 541, Revolutionary Exercises
"Hey, Dena, what are you looking at? So serious? Have you forgotten that we have important things today, right?" Liebknesi smiled at Dena, then picked up a teacup from the table without any restraint, poured himself a glass of water, raised his head, and rumbling down.
"Well..." Dena responded casually, but obviously she didn't hear anything Liebknesi was saying. Because her eyes were still staring at the booklet, and even used a pencil to draw something on the draft paper on the table from time to time.
"Hi, Miss Dena!" Liebknecy had to raise his voice.
"Ah, is there anything?" Dena finally noticed Liebknecy.   - Xiao-sayed - "Dena, our friend, Vladimir is about to go back to Russia. Have you forgotten? The revolution has broken out in Russia now, and he is going back, so we have to talk to him." Liebknecy replied with a smile.
"Ah, thank you, if you don't say it, I almost forgot it." Dena put down the booklet in her hand and stood up.
"What kind of book is this? This makes you fascinated?" Liebknecy obviously became curious and walked over to see the content of the book.
"Ah, this is an epoch-making book that has profoundly changed my worldview." Dena replied with a smile, "Although I haven't dared to fully believe his views, many places can indeed give people great inspiration. Why, do you want to study it?"
"I will certainly see you because you said so well." Liebknesi replied, "I still believe in your vision. You think it's so good, so it must be worth seeing."
"Well, let me show you. Don't blame me if my head explodes." Dena smiled and handed the booklet to Liebknecy.
"On the Electrodynamics of Moving Body"?" Looking at the booklet in hand, Liebknecy opened his eyes wide, "What is this talking about?"
"The physical movement perfectly solves the ether problem. It also shatters the fixed view of time and space since Kepler, and is a worldview that can destroy people. Well, I mean the book that knows the part of the natural world." Dena said.
"Then it's better to leave it to you." Liebkneci returned the booklet to Dena with a self-awareness. "If you seem to have a headache about this thing, then I don't think it's better to see Verne's stuff. Well, we're time to set off."

Due to the series of crushing defeats in the Russo-Japanese War and the levy of levies in order to maintain the war, various dissatisfactions in Russia became increasingly severe. By the end of 1904, various strikes began to appear. In January 1905, workers in Petersburg launched a general strike, but at that time, the Russians had many fantasies about the Tsar.
Generally speaking, the monarchs of autocratic countries will always find ways to deify themselves, use all means, political and religious to deceive the people, and make them believe that the king is extremely wise and kind, and is simply the incarnation of the almighty and all-god God on earth. The Chinese emperor is the emperor who is born in heaven, the Russian Tsar is the guardian of the Orthodox Church, the ancient Egyptian pharaoh was the son of the gods, and Nikang Tian Huang was directly the gods.
But in this way, there was an immediate problem, that is, since the emperor was as wise as gods and as kind as Cheng Xin, why are there so many unreasonable things in the world and bullying people? So a famous lies specifically used to deceive the people appeared. This sentence has to be read by the city of "Water Margin", which is what Brother Song Aisi often said: "Today's saints and wisest saints are just blinded by some treacherous slander."
Of course, this kind of nonsense is not worth laughing at, because logically speaking, this is different. The so-called saint is that people cannot deceive. If you can deceive just a few treacherous people, then there is also a saint. However, the meaning of brainwashing is to make you forget the logic and believe in these messy things. In many cases, brainwashing can even be carried out under the banner of anti-brainwashing. However, no matter how they play, just like physical hypotheses without mathematical support cannot be called hypotheses, but can only be called fantasies. Anyone who does not rely on logic to convince people, but tries to rely on conscience and morality is brainwashing, and is a hooligan.
However, this kind of hooligan has been playing for thousands of years, and there is no reason. The reason is that this trick is really effective. For example, in Russia, for hundreds of years, most of the Russian people, although they have been deeply oppressed, really believe that His Majesty the Tsar is a good man, and even calls him our father. It is all because of the bad bureaucrats below.
With this understanding, when the people cannot continue to live, the first thing they think of is not revolution, but petitioning the Tsar. They naively believe that the extremely kind Tsar did not know their situation because he was blinded by the treacherous and tsar. Once the people let him see the truth, he would immediately stand firmly on the side of the people, deal with the bad people severely, and give the Russian people a clear and clear sky.
The kind of understanding comes with what kind of action you have. Since you have such naive ideas, you naturally have naive actions. In January 1905, more than 30,000 workers in Petersburg, regardless of the dissuasion of the Bolsheviks, followed an Orthodox priest with a heart-blooded and cleared IQ, holding up the cross, the statue of Jesus, and the portrait of the Tsar, and petitioned the Tsar. His Majesty's guard shot, and the leading priest was killed on the spot. The crowd retreated in panic, and the guard chased after him, killing thousands of "rebels".
The Tsar made such a decision because he knew very well that there were many people who were dissatisfied with reality. As long as he made even a little concession, more people would jump out and make his own demands. Therefore, he believed that the best way at present was to adopt high-pressure policies and suppress those who took the lead. Maybe they could scare those people and make them honest.
I have to say that Tsar Nicholas II made a mistake. He thought the people were very scared, and he didn't know that from ancient times to the present, the best way to deal with the people was never threatening but deception. When a king could only be maintained by deterrence and suppression, the appearance of Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and Spartacus was inevitable.
After the bloody suppression, the stupidest common people also understood that the Tsar was not their father, they had been deceived. Therefore, the Bolsheviks, who were originally not very trusted by the workers, immediately gained the trust of the workers, and the revolutionary theory they promoted was immediately supported by the workers. In the world, there is never a lack of individuals who are so stupid that they cannot figure out their own interests, and they have to count money for others when they are sold, but there is no class in this world that cannot figure out their own interests. So the revolution broke out quickly. From Petersburg to Yekaterin Arbor, from Moscow to Kiev, there are flames of revolution everywhere.
However, whether it is the Bolsheviks or the Mensheviks, they were not prepared to lead the revolution. Their numbers were too small and their organizations were too small. Most of the revolutions were spontaneous, unorganized and uncooperative. Because before, when the lies of the Tsar were the father of the Russian people could still deceive the masses, both the Bolsheviks and the Mensheviks would be regarded as ambitious by the simple people, and their organizations were naturally difficult to develop, and their personnel were always limited. In addition, the tsar's government has been hit hard, and many of their leaders could only go into exile abroad. Therefore, at this time, Russia did not have a political force that could truly organize the bottom class who was eager for revolution. Lenin was preparing to return to Russia at this time.
...
"I'm glad you're here to say goodbye to me," Lenin said to Dena and Liebknesi. "What do you think about the current situation in Russia?"
"Comrade Lenin, Comrade Dena has some ideas about the current situation in Russia," said Liebknesi.
"I want to ask, Comrade Lenin, what purpose do you want to achieve when you go back to Russia this time?" Dena asked bluntly.
"The revolution has already happened. The situation in Russia shows that the people are extremely eager for revolution and need revolution. Therefore, after returning to Russia, my task is of course to work more for revolution and to overthrow the tsarist autocracy." Lenin replied.
"Then Comrade Lenin, do you think the time is ripe for overthrow of the Tsar now?" Dena continued to ask.
"So Comrade Dena, what do you think?" Lenin did not answer, but asked Dena's opinion instead.
"I think the time to overthrow the Tsar is not yet ripe." Dena did not refuse, but directly talked about her own point of view. "Comrade Lenin, last time you told us that the number of Bolsheviks in Russia is still limited, and their connections with workers are still limited. The lack of enough experienced grassroots is the biggest weakness of the Bolsheviks, which makes it difficult for you to truly organize the workers effectively. Comrade Lenin, you are also very clear about the difference between organized power and unorganized power. Although there are uprisings everywhere now, they can hardly cooperate with each other. The Bolsheviks are also limited and they cannot organize them. But the organization of the Tsar is indeed no problem. So in the current situation, the Tsar can completely defeat the revolutions in various places. If the Bolsheviks want to overthrow the Tsar at this time, they may encounter great difficulties, suffer huge losses, and are still difficult to succeed."
"So Comrade Dena, what do you think we should do the most?" Lenin asked.
