But even a decisive battle is not that easy. Although the armed forces of the Duma in St. Petersburg will not be overwhelmed by the workers' pickets of the Socialist Party, they have no real advantage. How many of the latter are there? Prime Minister Kalemykin is not Very clear. Top novel,
The refugee camps outside the city are completely restricted areas for the police, and even government spies have a hard time sneaking in. Moreover, there are also workers in the factories who can join the fight at any time as long as they take up arms, including some women and Children may become armed personnel. If necessary, it is not impossible for the Socialist Party to summon 100,000 armed personnel.
And all the Duma can control is a total of 50,000 mercenaries. Czechs, Serbs, and Caucasians are all a large mixed group. These guys have either betrayed their country or have no country at all. They can only survive by selling their lives to others. There is no doubt about their loyalty, as long as they have money. However, the public anger about this team is also huge, because they have no discipline at all, and the police dare not control them, so there is no such thing as violent violence. n It is very common for women to not pay for restaurants. Even people in St. Petersburg who don’t like the Socialist Workers Party are disgusted with them. In other words, if there is a real fight, these people will not get the help of the people.
In short, the decisive battle is a very uncertain thing.
But if the loan is not obtained, the Duma will undoubtedly lose if it continues for a long time. The reason is very simple, because at this time, the nearly four million Russian troops originally on the front lines have begun to be disbanded. Russia is only allowed to retain 300,000 army troops. This means that 90% of the existing army must be laid off. These people who have been laid off need resettlement expenses. How will the Duma use them to resettle them? If it cannot come up with enough resettlement expenses, these disbanded Russian troops will I am afraid that they will all turn to the Socialist Party without hesitation. There is no doubt about this. Just look at the mutinies in various places.
If that happens, there will be no hope for the Duma.
"My attitude towards the Russian Socialist Party? In fact, I don't know much about them. You also know that I have never liked these messy things. I am a very simple person who respects my ancestors, believes in God and loves the people. Although I am also a scientist, but I also hate those who have no faith.
What you want to ask is nothing more than my opinion on the current situation in Russia. I can assure you and the members of the Duma that I will not allow the flag of any monarch in the world to fall. The Russian Imperial Government of a constitutional monarchy is As a member of the United Nations, we are like brothers with China. Any attempt to subvert the only legitimate Russian government will be intolerable to China and all members of the United Nations. If necessary, we will issue an invitation to your government. Under the premise, China will provide all help including military support." Yang Feng said to Grand Duke Mikhail who came to him for consultation on this issue.
The meaning is very clear. If the Socialist Workers Party dares to launch a rebellion, China is willing to send troops to intervene as long as Russia sends an invitation.
With his guarantee, the capitalists in the Russian Duma were relieved. Although a civil war would cause further damage to Russia, as long as the cancer of the Socialist Party could be eradicated, the price would be worth it. As for the death of ordinary people, There is no need to think about it. Who made them like the Socialist Party so much? It would not be a big deal to clean Russia thoroughly with blood. Otherwise, once the Socialist Party takes power, the aristocrats, capitalists, and landlords will only die. .
In this way, the Russian Duma finally made up its mind, and put Count Witte, the finance minister of the Kalemykin government, in charge personally, and began substantive negotiations on loans with the People's Bank of China in Beijing. Unlike countries such as Britain and France, Russia's loan amount
More than that. Since he has betrayed his country, he simply sold it more thoroughly. Russia borrowed 20 billion yuan from the People's Bank of China at a time. This money was not only used to repay the first indemnity, but also the demobilization and resettlement expenses of the Russian army, rubles
The banknote issuance deposit for returning to the gold standard and the cost of maintaining Russia's financial operations. In short, this huge sum of money is used to fully restore order in Russia.
"You said William resumed his help to Vladimir?" While the negotiations between the two parties were in progress, Emperor Yang also received some interesting news.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Lin Zhongying said: "As far as I know, the Socialist Workers' Party has previously received an aid of 20 million Chinese dollars. This money is what they can use to maintain the life of the workers' pickets and win over people's hearts during this period.
They mainly rely on it, and the Germans are very likely to provide them with arms support."
He has cooperated with the Socialist Party for so many years, so naturally he would not fail to bury a few nails in the Socialist Party. It is not difficult to obtain some inside information.
"It seems that our secret war with the Germans has begun." Yang Feng said with a smile, but William's approach is understandable. No matter from which point of view, it is necessary for him to support a pro-German puppet in Russia.
What Yang Feng wants to do is to encircle Germany. Of course, the Germans cannot fail to see it. Now Germany is surrounded by Yang Feng's puppets or semi-puppets. Russia is the only one that has not completely fallen into Yang Feng's hands.
This must be fought for.
But judging from the current performance of the Russian government, it is obvious that it is running all out to rush into the arms of Yang Feng. After all, Yang Feng is richer than him, so he can only support the Socialist Party, not to mention that it is impossible to arrest Russia in this way.
In their own hands, at least it can cause further damage to this country. For Germany, this amount of money is very worthwhile.
"The revolutionary is a good thing!" Emperor Yang couldn't help but sigh, but he would definitely not interfere with William. This kind of thing is also very good for him. The stronger the Socialist Party is, the longer the civil war in Russia will be.
The longer it lasts, the greater the damage will be to the country, the weaker Russia will be after the war, and the easier it will be for China to control it.
In this way, the two conspirators, one from the east and the other from the west, gradually pushed Russia into the abyss of civil war.
In the conference hall of the Empire State Building and the headquarters of the People's Bank of China in Beijing, in front of the cameras of reporters from various countries, the Minister of Finance of the Russian Empire, Count Witte, formally signed a loan agreement totaling 20 billion yuan. With the signing of this loan agreement, Russia
The entire economic lifeline is completely in the hands of the People's Bank of China, and under normal circumstances, they will never have a chance to turn around.
However, even with such an agreement, they actually didn't get much in the end, because there were 10 billion Chinese dollars in it that needed to be used as compensation and the People's Bank of China was responsible for transferring them to the accounts of other victorious countries in this bank.
At present, the People's Bank of China is acting as an agent for the reparations business of the Allied Powers, and part of it needs to be left directly in China to purchase various supplies that Russia urgently needs. In the end, the cash that can be handed over to Count Witte is actually only one-third at most.
The huge sum of money will be shipped to St. Petersburg and Moscow in batches within a month, mainly because the People's Bank of China's money printing press is too busy.
Of course, these are just small details.
"My compatriots, look at what this shameless government has done. They are so traitorous to the country that they are crazy. Twenty-one, a whole twenty-one, each one is a noose around our necks, each one is a noose.
The locusts that the Chinese used to suck our blood dry. From now on, there will be no Russia. There will be no Russia. We have become slaves of the Chinese and will be their slaves for generations. Those shameless capitalists and landlords use this method.
A criminal agreement betrayed Russia in exchange for their glory and wealth, and in exchange for the bones rewarded by their masters, and we, the Russian people, will forever linger in the filthy quagmire.
We will not agree, and the free Russian people will never agree. We don’t want an emperor, we don’t want capitalists, and we don’t want foreign invaders. Russia belongs to us, to the Russian people. Take up our weapons, overthrow this government that has humiliated the country, and hang us.
The Tsar who betrayed the country, shoot the Prime Minister who betrayed the people!"
In a square in the area controlled by the St. Petersburg Socialist Party, with the signing ceremony broadcast live next to it, Comrade Vladimir stood on a high platform, holding a Chinese-made loudspeaker in his hand, just like a big sale in a market.
The hawker roared at the top of his lungs, his voice trembling with excitement. After many years, he finally waited for this day.
In front of him, countless patriotic Russian people were listening to the mortgage terms broadcast on the radio with grief and indignation, and some members of the Socialist Party were in the crowd explaining what these terms meant to their compatriots who did not understand these things.
For example, for the tobacco and alcohol monopoly, no matter whether you smoke or drink, you can only buy it from the state-owned tobacco and alcohol supply company, and this company is used as a loan mortgage to the People's Bank of China. In the future, the People's Bank of China can sell it for as much as it wants, even if they sell it.
If the price of vodka is increased tenfold, you don't have a choice. If anyone dares to make wine privately and sell it, the police will throw him directly into jail.
Needless to say, this article alone can make the patriotic people in Russia furious. They wish they could kill Count Werther who signed the document right now. Of course they will not know that according to the agreement between Yang Feng and Grand Duke Mikhail, this
This clause only needs to be maintained for a maximum of two years, after which the People's Bank of China will cancel this clause.
And in the future, he will encourage the Russian people to develop tobacco and alcohol, and even encourage Chinese businessmen to invest in Russia to build such factories. This is the most useless industry. He never likes to support this kind of industry at home, so that
The Russians are undoubtedly the most suitable to be China's tobacco and alcohol supply base. Do you want to know more exciting developments in "The Rise of the Erdao Dealer"? Open WeChat now, click on the "+" sign in the upper right corner, and select Add a friend to add a public account
