Volume 41 Chapter 41: Under the Wheel
"What to do? What else can I do?!" Yang Rui was helpless. Such a key figure was captured by himself and accidentally killed by himself. If this happens, who else will launch a rebellion in the future to wash away the Bolsheviks? Thinking of launching a rebellion, he put down the cigarette in his hand and asked, "What's the situation in Petersburg?"
"The situation in Petersburg is still very chaotic. The officers have just reacted from the Tsar abdication and July incidents, and they are generally dissatisfied with the weakness and incompetence of the Provisional Government; the British also believe that the people there need to be whips to be obedient, while the French and the United States have always wanted to help the Provisional Government stabilize the political situation, and have provided more and more loans and various experts, but these are of no help.
In addition, Petersburg has entered winter, and the operation of the railway system has not improved. The Russian Division's judgment is that workers need bread, soldiers need a truce, and farmers need the government to recognize the land they have already obtained. These requirements cannot be met for a day, and Russia's political situation cannot be stabilized for a day, and the revolution is natural." Zhang Shi said that the Russian Division of the Intelligence Bureau's judgment on the domestic situation in Russia was not as pessimistic as Yang Rui.
"Who is the current commander-in-chief of Russia?" Yang Rui asked again.
"It was Mikhayel Alexeyev, an old Russian noble general. Although he could not fight and had many opinions about the Provisional Government, he had no good impression of the Bolsheviks at all." Zhang Shi said.
Mikhayel Alexeyev was the predecessor of Kornilov's appointment as commander-in-chief of the Russian army by the Provisional Government, but Yang Rui had no impression of this. He only saw that Zhang Shi always had his own meaning wrong, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Do you think I want to find a general who supports the Bolsheviks to launch a coup and then help them seize power?"
After Yang Rui said that, Zhang Shi nodded. His face probably said: Isn't it rare? Seeing his expression funny, Yang Rui said, "You are wrong. As the saying goes, the opposite is the movement of Tao. If you want to achieve what you want, you must start from the opposite side. What we are looking for is a Russian general who is hostile to the Bolsheviks and is also not patient with the Provisional Government, or even a general who supports the restoration of the Tsar. Only such right-wing people can stand up and turn left. Think about it, if this general wants to overthrow the Provisional Government and restore the Tsar, who can Kerensky of the Provisional Government ask for help?"
"If this is the case, he can only find the Red Guards in the current situation. It is rare to say..." Zhang Shi's Silu turned around by Yang Rui's area.
"Yes, that's the truth. When looking at the Three Kingdoms, the ten regular attendants at the end of the Han Dynasty were in chaos. In order to eliminate eunuchs, He Jin planned to transfer Dong Zhuo from other places to the capital to help suppress the eunuchs. But what's the result?" Yang Rui was no longer panicked at this time and had already made up his mind. "... As a result, the front door drove away wolves and the back door welcomed tigers. The current situation in Russia is also the same. The provisional government is extremely weak and does not have much power to support him. But if there is a noble general who is hostile to democracy and the provisional government who wants to restore the aristocratic government to lead troops into the capital, it will inevitably cause Petersburg Kerensky's panic. He panicked so much that he suddenly believed the slander and believed that the Red Guards could destroy the Belarusian general, then the result would be...
The strategy can be explained in this way. If you analyze it scientifically, you will find that this is a typical example of treating the head and treating the foot pain. Any problem will have its necessary background. It is not a whole to look at the problem but is isolated. If you use a self-right method to solve the problem, the problem will only become bigger and bigger."
Yang Rui said that he had learned about the country in recent years, and lit the cigarette just now very easily, then took a deep breath and said, "Who are the generals who are hostile to the Bolsheviks and are dissatisfied with the Provisional Government?"
"Almost all!" Zhang Shi replied quickly. "Most of the generals on the front, whether they were nobles or not, were hostile to the Bolsheviks. Seeing the performance of the Provisional Government over the past few months, they were not satisfied with the Provisional Government, although it has been reorganized again and again."
"Who dares to overthrow the Provisional Government, and not have enough power or skills, and is more than capable of success or failure?" Yang Rui asked again.
Zhang Shi quickly replied: "Sir, almost all of them!"
Zhang Shi answered both of them, and Yang Rui felt more and more confident in his heart and asked, "Then why haven't they taken action?"
"This..." Zhang Shiliu smiled and said, "The key is that the current commander-in-chief Mikhayer Alexekyev disagreed. Some generals wanted to lead troops to Petersburg after the July incident and abolish the democratic system and purge the social revolutionaries, but they all gave up under his persuasion."
"Then find a way to get him to agree," said Yang Rui. "If he can't agree, then either kill this person or provoke the generals who dare to overthrow the Provisional Government to cause trouble. It is always a saying that the Provisional Government will feel the threat, and at the same time think that the Red Guards are their only savior."
"I understand, sir." Zhang Shi replied. He finally used his talent and suggested, "Sir, I think the best way is to destroy the military transport on the front line, so that the situation on the front line can be worse, and the generals will be even more dissatisfied with the provisional government. If the soldiers make a big fuss, the situation will not be stopped by Alexeikyev."
"Very good!" Yang Rui praised. "What are you going to do?"
