"Comrade People's Commissar, if you want to continue to receive weapons, ammunition and food support from the Chinese Federation, you must attack north."
As soon as Liao Zhongkai, the special envoy of the Chinese Federation, finished speaking, Vladimir Ulyanovna frowned. She looked at the Chinese who had just been promoted from Lin Youde's personal envoy to the federal special envoy and did not answer.
The Federal Assembly has just passed a resolution supporting the newly established Soviet regime. This means that Ulyanovna no longer has to worry about Tsarist Russia sending a naval fleet to attack her headquarters in the Maritime Territory, and the Soviet regime's road communication lines with China are also guaranteed.
No more relying on Lin Youde's shipping.
More importantly, Ulyanovna saw the hope of using the contradictions within the federation to get rid of Lin Youde's influence.
But she did not expect that the Federation did not send another special envoy to Vladivostok, but directly gave Liao Zhongkai an appointment. So the personal envoy of the Minister of the Navy, the supervisor sent by the big boss behind the scenes,
In this way, he became a federal envoy.
Ulyanovna didn't know that Lin Youde obtained the right to prospect for Western Australia from the Queen of England, and found high-quality and easy-to-exploit open-pit iron ore veins without much effort, which directly shocked the domestic railway enthusiasts.
The wealthy businessmen who fought bitterly for the right to road and the right to mine iron ore and coal suddenly realized that the current federation could also expand and go abroad to eat meat - just like the great powers did.
Even an old bureaucrat like Yuan Shikai understood what Lin Youde was planning to do by supporting the Bolsheviks.
Because of this, the Federal Parliament passed a resolution supporting the Soviet regime in Vladivostok at an alarming speed. Behind this resolution, Lin Youde and other forces in the Federation reached a consensus and "shared interests" in Siberia. Because of this
, Liao Zhongkai was promoted to federal special envoy.
Although Ulyanovna had accumulated considerable experience in domestic struggles, her experience failed to help her see through the intrigues within the ancient Eastern country.
After a long silence, the First Secretary of the Soviet Union said: "We have just repelled the attack of the White Army. The troops are exhausted and the logistics supplies have not fully kept up..."
"Don't worry about that. The next supply fleet will arrive in Vladivostok tomorrow, and the overland supplies have also departed. As long as you make an attack plan, the supplies will arrive naturally."
Ulyanovna curled her lips. At this time, Second Secretary Lena Trotsky, who had been standing behind her, spoke: "Why do we have to attack Chita? That is the hub station of the eastern section of the Siberian Railway.
There are a large number of White troops stationed and well supplied. With the strength of our army, we rashly attack..."
"Miss Trotsky," Liao Zhongkai interrupted the second secretary, "we not only want you to attack Chita, but we also want you to take Buryatia, Irkutsk and Amur. Chita is just the beginning.
In addition, occupying Chita and controlling the eastern section of the Siberian Railway will also be very beneficial to your Bolshevik revolutionary movement, as you can expand the Red Zone along the railway line."
Liao Zhongkai's words made sense, but Ulyanovna gritted her teeth in her heart. With the current strength of the Soviet Union, everyone knew that attacking eastward was nothing more than a dream. There were many Cossacks in the army, and Cossacks were
The militarized rich peasant class is fundamentally different from the proletarian workers, so there is constant friction between the Red Army, which was adapted from the old army, and the Red Guards, whose backbone is mainly industrial workers and poor peasants.
If the war continues, there is no guarantee that something will happen.
More importantly, the revolution and subsequent counter-encirclement and suppression campaigns put the entire coastal border area's industry and agriculture at a semi-standstill, relying entirely on food and consumer goods shipped from China. As a result, prices have reached a certain level, and Tsarist Russia's
The ruble is no longer valuable, and most shops now welcome Nanyang tickets....
Ulyanovna did not understand the internal intrigues of the Chinese, but her basic economic literacy was still good. She understood that if this continued, the economic system of the Soviet territory would be controlled by the Chinese.
inside.
In any case, the war could no longer continue, and the Soviets needed some time to breathe. Ulyanovna, who knew this very well, made a decision similar to Lenin's in the previous time and space.
"Mr. Special Envoy, we are now unable to carry out the Western Expedition. We need time to recover. After a while, after our situation improves, the Red Army will definitely capture Chita and go back to save the Russian people in dire straits."
"Winter will come in a while. How are you going to fight in the cold Siberian winter?"
Ulyanovna smiled.
"For us, Chita is a warm place."
Liao Zhongkai thought for a while and shrugged: "Okay, I will report it to the country like this, but I can't guarantee that the federal parliament can accept this statement, unless..."
Ulyanovna frowned slightly. Even she, a Russian, could tell that there was something wrong in the envoy's words.
"Unless what?"
"Unless Lord Lin speaks for you within the federation."
Ulyanovna heard someone beside her mutter: "I knew it."
"Mr. Special Envoy, if your Navy Minister has any requests, just tell him directly." Ulyanovna said impatiently.
In order to get assistance from the Chinese, she has agreed to give them the right to freely do business, invest in factories, and explore and mine minerals within the Soviet territory. She knows very well that the Chinese people's ability to do business is not inferior to that of the Jews. With the Soviet charter
, the coastal border area will soon become the world of Chinese businessmen.
In Ulyanovna's view, she had already given enough benefits to the Chinese and to that Lin Youde, but at this time, that guy came to blackmail him shamelessly!
Unfortunately, the Soviets are now a bit dependent on others. Without China's support, they cannot last even a month and will soon collapse on their own. The Tsar can put down this rebellion without spending a single soldier.
Facing Ulyanovna's helplessness mixed with anger, Liao Zhongkai was completely unmoved.
"During the uprising, the Soviets used poison gas to capture a group of goddesses loyal to Tsarist Russia?"
"Yes, but under the influence of the Bolsheviks, they all became loyal to the red regime."
As soon as Ulyanovna finished speaking, Liao Zhongkai laughed: "Not all of them? As far as I know, only 24 people have been won by you."
Ulyanovna's face was obviously shaken.
How many Russian goddesses have been transformed has always been the top secret of the Soviet Union. Moreover, Ulyanovna has always been very confident in the ability of her Social Democratic Labor Party to work secretly. Her confidence is not without reason. If it were not for her proficiency in keeping secrets
, counter-reconnaissance and other things, it is difficult for the Bolsheviks to survive and grow in the current dangerous domestic environment in Russia.
But now, this confidence has been completely shattered by the seemingly casual words of the Chinese special envoy.
"You..." Ulyanovna paused and collected her emotions, "What do you want to do?"
"We would like to borrow them and collect some data for scientific research. We guarantee that they will not be harmed physically and mentally, and will send them back to Vladivostok after the collection is completed."
The first secretary was silent.
Liao Zhongkai didn't say anything, just waited quietly.
Finally, Ulyanovna compromised: "Okay, please transport them away secretly, and then transport them back secretly."
