The beautiful Elysee Palace is located at the eastern end of the Champs-Elysees. Although it is located in the downtown area, this stone building that adheres to European classics still maintains a kind of tranquility and solemnity. When the war was fierce, the German army was tens of kilometers away. It should have become deserted after the government led to Bordeaux. However, during the Battle of the Paris Meat Grinder, in order to guard Paris with the soldiers, President Poon Gale resumed his office here. During the day, the tricolor flag on the roof flew in the wind, and at night, the lights of the Presidential Palace illuminated the hearts of all French people.

On the night of November 4, the President was here to listen to the emergency report of Commander-in-Chief Beta. This news made him extremely happy. The Chinese who had just joined the battle miraculously broke through the German defense line, advanced sixteen kilometers and recovered his hometown of Baldic. What a great victory. In the first half of the year, hundreds of thousands of soldiers were sacrificed without any results. After only causing mutinies on the front line and dissatisfaction with the people, France, no, all the Allied Powers need such a victory to boost morale.

Seeing the president's plump and slightly bald forehead begin to shine under the lights, Commander-in-Chief Betton was in a difficult speech. Although he achieved such an incredible victory, the Chinese Expeditionary Force Command had no solution to this. They did not have enough reserves to gather in the rear of the front. Therefore, as long as a large number of German troops arrived at Baldic tomorrow, this brilliant victory would be a flash in the pan and the front would return to the quagmire peace that was before.

Thinking of this, Betton said: "Mr. President, according to the telegram from the Chinese Command, they were not prepared for this victory. No one expected that the Germans' defense would be so weak and negligent. There should have been a division of troops in Baledik, but in fact there was only one brigade there, and the front line of defense. Because the Chinese were not prepared for artillery fire, they caught the Germans off guard. Everyone was stunned by the result..."

"This is God bless us! My Marshal. We need more than just being stunned. We need a complete victory to recover Saint-Dizier and Baldic." President Calais stood up and waved his fists. For him, the German hardliner, in this depressed and coal-deficient early winter, there is no better news than this.

"But the Chinese are ready to give up this city..." Betton directly expressed the Chinese's plans.

"No! They can't do this!" said Poongalai. "Tell them that Baldic is my hometown, and I'm going to them to guard it until the final victory!"

"Mr. President, I'm sorry." The tiger Prime Minister Crymenceau, who had been smoking next to him, suddenly said. Commander-in-Chief Betton told him the news first, and he pulled Betton to the Elysee Palace to meet the president. "This time the Chinese were just lucky enough to pick up the first prize lottery, so they were panicked and at a loss, but now everything is still time. As long as the Chinese are determined to fight the Germans here, I think they will win the final victory. However, the expeditionary forces obviously do not have this determination at the moment. They seem to have a fear of the Germans. In fact, based on the current situation, the Chinese army is not much worse than the Germans, and much stronger than the Americans. We should ask the Chinese..."

"Mr. Prime Minister, don't forget that the Chinese Expeditionary Force has independent command of the battle. And this battle has not been discussed with us, so we have no way..." The debate on whether the Expeditionary Force should continue the war began an hour ago. Betton believed that although the Chinese did not want to, they did not have the conditions to stick to Baldic, and they won a small-scale battle, which proved the combat effectiveness of the China Team*, so this is a good thing;

But Prime Minister Crimson clearly opposed this view. The unrest and war-weariness brought about by the Neville offensive in the first half of the year remained. After the devastating blow in the Mediterranean month before, the Bola military port was recovering. Some flexible small submarines could still nimblely cross the Otranto blockade at night and sneak into the Mediterranean to cause chaos. Transportation was affected again, especially now in winter. Coal is generally short of coal in the country, and the price of a ton of coal has risen to thirty dollars, which is a sky-high price! Imagine that war-weary people have no fuel and no enough food in the cold winter... and there is no more valuable than a complete victory.

Before he finished speaking, Betan was interrupted by Crimson. He said: "Mr. President, it is said that the Chinese people are most worried about their own official position, so they are very afraid of their superiors. Moreover, they are inferior and care about the evaluation of foreigners. If the ambassador to China proposes to the Chinese emperor or the Chinese Prime Minister to hold on to the Chinese expeditionary force and praise the Chinese team, I think under domestic pressure, the Chinese team will have to mobilize their troops to defend the Baldic."

Crimson's proposal was unexpected by Betton. In his opinion, Lieutenant General Lin Wenqian, the Chinese commander-in-chief, was wise to deal with it. If you don't fight a battle you are not ready for, this battle proves the combat effectiveness of the China Team. Instead of spending these combative Chinese troops in the meaningless Baldic, it is better to invest it in a major battle organized by the coalition forces, which is the most cost-effective.

When Betton thought about the rebuttal of this year, President Poungalai waved his hand and stopped him. He looked at Crimson: "The government generally does not interfere with the specific command of the army, because we trust the generals. Are you sure that the Chinese are not like this?"

"I'm very sure!" Krimson answered decisively, with a hint of disdain. "The Chinese admire the West very much. As long as we praise it, for example, when building a railway, just say to the Chinese workers: 'Only the Chinese can complete these projects on time'. Even if they dislike the Westerners, they will curse us when they hear this sentence and are sincerely happy when they use tricks. They think that no matter whether this is true or false, at least they have the ability to be praised, which is much better than that of Indians and Annans; and ordinary workers will complete those tasks regardless of their lives after hearing such praise.

It can be said that the Chinese are not practical. They care very much about Western evaluations. At the same time, in order to prove themselves, they can pay unimaginable prices, this time the dispatch of troops to Europe is the most obvious example. To be precise, this is a group of very humble people! As long as the nobles and men praise a few half-true words, they will happily forget all the hatreds before, including those unpaid salaries."

After China declared war on its allies, the French people truly cared about this country far away from the other side of the mainland. However, Crimson's understanding of China was obvious before that. Fifteen years ago, he often paid attention to this ancient nation. In the past few decades, this country changed from being disdainful of foreign countries to completely worshiping everything abroad. This 180-degree turn was unbelievable. Although this country has revolutionized now, Crimson believes that her habit of advocating foreign countries has not completely changed, and he believes that under the praise of foreigners, the Chinese will shed the last drop of blood to prove themselves.

President Poungalai did not understand the situation in China. He heard Crimson's logic and was soon convinced by him. He looked at the prime minister he chose with some excitement and asked, "What should we do in detail?"

"Mr. President. You should send a telegram to the Chinese, hoping that their prime minister can support the expeditionary forces to defend Baledik. At the same time, we should publicize the victory of the Chinese in Baledik, whether in France, China, or the whole world. If the victory of the Chinese in Baledik can be seen in newspapers all over the world, then they will be kidnapped by public opinion and their humble self-esteem, and will shed blood for us until we die in battle." Crimson said.

"Is that all?" The method is very simple, which makes Poon Gale a little unimaginable.

"This is enough," said Crimson. "The Chinese love face more than real profits, and this is the opposite of the British."

"Well, I will draft a telegram myself..." Before President Punegalai could finish his speech, Crimson took out a telegram: "Mr. President, I'm ready."

Unexpectedly, the Prime Minister came prepared. Poon Galai looked at the humble and mushy tone on the telegram and said with a smile: "Do you really want to say that? I don't think it's appropriate."

"It's already very suitable, Mr. President. The readers of this telegram are not the Chinese Prime Minister, but the Chinese emperor and the people." Crimson said. "In addition, the British will help us, and they are happy to see the Chinese stick to Baldic and then stimulate the Americans with this brilliant victory."

Hearing that the matter was also supported by the British, Poon Gale immediately signed the stingy telegram, and the telegram was mobilized to the French Embassy in China; like the French, a telegram from the British wartime cabinet was also sent to the new ambassador to China. Soon, in Beijing local time, that is, on the morning of November 5, reporters from major newspapers in Beijing received an invitation from the new British ambassador Sir Eston about holding a press conference at the embassy at 8:30 in the morning. After that, the ambassadors of the two countries, together with the ambassadors of allies, asked to see Yang Rui in front of the Prime Minister's Office.

When Yang Rui got up, he knew about the war in France, but he did not pay attention to it. He believed that Lin Wenqian would definitely complete the tasks he assigned. Moreover, the Russian calendar was already at the end of October and the revolution had not yet broken out. Only then did he re-examine Russian history and found that after the Bolsheviks launched an unsuccessful revolution in July, Lenin disappeared from the curse of the "German spy". The people believed that the Bolsheviks were German spies, but Yang Rui never believed it. With the close relationship between Russia and Europe, he wanted to win the revolution, even in a chaotic period, the Bolsheviks had to rely on the help of foreign forces.

As for the stupid words "the power of the people is infinite", just like "there is resistance wherever there is oppression, there is resistance." They can only deceive the ignorant grass-roots people. In Yang Rui's view, there is always foreign forces behind any revolution and subversion. Revolutions do not occur when the situation of grass-roots people improves, or when the oppressors themselves are weak, such as when foreign wars fail, otherwise how can the grass-roots people get the power to resist the oppressors? The Bolsheviks do not rely on the power of Germany and the chaos within Russia, and the revolution cannot succeed at all. As for the documents signed with the Germans, how can such things be taken seriously? The Bolsheviks mastered the country to launch a proletarian revolution in the entire capitalist world, rather than to sacrifice their lives for capitalists all over the world.

A behemoth was born in the northwest of China that was even more daunting than Tsarist Russia. This is a bad thing and a good thing. The bad thing is that this behemoth was her neighbor, who swallowed his land, and since then the frontiers were troubled; and the good thing is that the fear and hatred of him by the great powers is far greater than that of themselves. After all, China is now just a country with a simple military and heavy industry system. Although it has many national capital factories, capitalism is still very fragile, and many of them have state equity participation. The most important thing is that the lifelong employment system based on the z theory is widely promoted. This management method and management culture derived from China and matured in Japan are more suitable for China today than American concepts. Under this management model, the harmony between employers and employees has eased the labor-capital contradictions, and strikes and revolutions have become almost impossible.

Land reform, public opinion control, abolishment of unequal treaties, and lifelong employment system, these four are important pillars of Yang Rui's confidence in resisting invincible Machinism, but ironically, when he thought he was ready and expected the October Revolution to come soon, it became without a trace. After the failure of the July incident, Comrade Ulyanov, who was slandered as a German spy by the Provisional Government, left Petersburg and hid somewhere in Finland until now. What was wrong? Yang Rui has been pursuing it.

After sending foreigners with an old saying "The king is away and he will not accept the orders of the king." On the 26th day of the September 19th of the lunar calendar, three days after the October Revolution in history, on November 10, the Intelligence Bureau Zhang Shi and Zhang Shi came to Yin'an Temple. He said, "Sir, Kornilov has been tracked down. He was shot dead two years ago for escape from prison."

"Damn it!!" Yang Rui was shocked and not only jumped up from the chair, but also spit out the swear words of later generations. "He...he...how could he be shot dead by our army? And escaped from prison. It is rare that he was captured by our army three years ago and then escaped from prison and shot dead?"

Seeing Yang Rui's incoherence, Zhang Shi was very surprised. He had no idea that history had given Kornilov the important role and historical role that history gave to Kornilov. After the half-hearted July uprising of the Bolsheviks, the entire Russian public opinion condemned the riot, believing that it was because it was "influenced by the totally irresponsible Bolshevik agitation". But just when the bourgeoisie and socialists were glad to eliminate the riot and defend the democratic system, the far-right wingers, commander-in-chief of the Petersburg Military Region, and the commander-in-chief of the Russian army who was promoted after the July riot, felt the weakness of the temporary government and was actually ready to launch a rebellion.

In order to resist the entry of Kornilov into Petersburg by the Caucasian barbarians, the Provisional Government changed its attitude towards the Soviets of the Bolshevik workers. Workers and soldiers received tens of thousands of rifles from the Provisional Government's arsenal, and thousands of Kronstad sailors rushed to Petersburg, and together with the workers' Red Guards, they controlled the main traffic route to Petersburg. This situation turned the Bolshevik October Revolution into a natural way.

It can be said that it was Kornilov's rebellion that whitewasted the already smeared Bolsheviks. At the same time, its core workers' soldiers, the Soviets and Kronstad sailors, obtained weapons and controlled the entire Petersburg, which gave the Bolsheviks a chance to seize power. After the salute on the cruiser Avleir in history, the workers' Red Guards could only say that it was taking over the Hermitage, but not fighting. Without the springboard of the Kornilov rebellion, the October Revolution could only be postponed indefinitely.

"Sir, this person is the commander of the 9th Siberian Division. He was captured during the Sino-Japanese War in the Battle of Tieling. After being captured, he always wanted to escape from prison. He was discovered by Mongolian herders when he escaped through the second time and tried to resist and then was shot dead." Zhang Shi said. "Is this person important?"

"Very important!" Yang Rui heard the news and sat on a chair. The Kalmyks, who were captured during the war and miraculously escaped from the Austro-Hungarian prisoner-of-war camp, died in Mongolia. Is this a butterfly effect?
