Li Xiaofeng's mood was really bad. He was full of bad news and lost links everywhere. Groups of self-righteous guys acted randomly according to their intentions, and his anger was almost full. If Victoria was not Angelina's cousin, he would definitely beat this woman up.
Now, he could only resist his anger and try to use peaceful means to warn the other party: "When will the Northern Industrial Company start production, and when will you obtain a new batch of food!"
Victoria was stunned. She didn't expect someone's reaction to be so intense. She exclaimed: "You can't do this!"
Unscrew the door, Li Xiaofeng left without looking back, leaving only one sentence: "I can!"
Well, now it's Victoria's turn to go crazy. The food business of the past two months has made her profits full of money. She will suddenly lose this big investment. She will be very uncomfortable, or very uncomfortable. But what's even more uncomfortable is that she knows that even if she uses all her strength, she will not be able to put the Northern Industrial Company into production within one month.
In the past two months, her work has been focused entirely on Umbrella Company, and all the preparations are centered around Umbrella Company. If everything goes well, Umbrella can be put into production within two months.
And now, because of someone's random things, her preparations were completely in vain, which she could never stand. Between the food business and Umbrella, she really didn't know which one to choose.
However, Li Xiaofeng quickly made a choice for her. Someone directly put the construction of Umbrera Company indefinitely and announced that he would never invest a penny for Umbrera before the Northern Industry entered production.
Of course, Qian Shenma is secondary. With the financial resources of the Eugen family, even if there is no immortal, the factory can be started. More importantly, someone still has the formula for the future pillar products of Umbrella Company. Without this, even if the factory is built, it will not be able to produce an egg.
Whether it is Victoria or Henry, they can only choose to compromise. Although they have no business acumen in their view, it is impossible for anyone to control their lifelines to be able to give in!
The only thing that supports Li Xiaofeng's decision was his pseudo-woman brother. He has been so depressed that the past two months have been very depressed. After hearing that the northern industry has re-established the first priority, the pseudo-woman jumped up in excitement and shouted long live Andre.
Although the problem has been solved, it can be imagined that the mood of a certain immortal is quite similar. It is just like his uncle came. This guy even secretly guessed whether he had lost his character after traveling through time, otherwise he would be so unsuccessful? After solving Kornilov, the future of the revolution was bright, but why did he get to my place? He could even drink water in his arms and get stuck in the gap between his teeth?
I can only say that this guy is too presumptuous. Although the future of the revolution is bright, the road is still extremely tortuous. Especially now, the cannon of Goddess of Dawn is only a month away, which is the darkest moment before dawn.
He is not the only one who is not going well. None of the heroes who are active in Russian politics now feel that they are going well.
For example, although Kerensky, as the Prime Minister, staggered to keep his position in the rebellion of Kornilov, he had no choice but to do with the mess of Russia. Compared with 1916, Russia's total industrial output decreased by 36.4% in 1917. After the outbreak of the February Revolution, 568 enterprises collapsed across the country, which directly caused hundreds of thousands of workers to be unemployed. At the same time, as the war situation continued to deteriorate, military expenditures became a bottomless pit, and 58 million rubles were consumed every day.
In order to fill this huge pit, Kerensky could only borrow money from allies, with a national debt of up to 60 billion rubles. Of which 16 billion was foreign debt. On the other hand, he also used the ultimate method of printing money. The sharp inflation turned the ruble into garbage that was hard even if it was scraped.
All of this he did was to persevere, or to drink poison to quench thirst. As the economic situation became worse and worse, as basic daily necessities, such as food, sugar and cloth became increasingly short of Russians.
John Reed wrote in his "Ten Days That Shocked the World": "Food is less than a week, and the daily bread quota is reduced from the initial pound and a half to one pound, and then to three quarters, half pound, one quarter pound, and not a slice of bread in the last week!"
Due to the extreme lack of food, some cities in Moscow Prefecture began to use oil residue instead of bread. In fact, this is pretty good, at least the oil residue still has a bit of oily smell. Costroma directly replaced the food with the worst bran that was fed to pigs before... and scurvy broke out due to famine in the states of Novgorod, Karuga and Ryazan.
Compared with ordinary people who are hungry and cold, capitalists and noble men are not restricted by the bread rationing system. White bread, fructose, coffee, and vodka can be supplied openly. These damn ghouls resold all good things to the black market and make a fortune in the country. In contrast, ordinary workers receive only 57.4% of the monthly salary in 1913.
In the article "The Great Disaster is Coming, Where is the Way?", Lenin pointed out: "War caused such a major crisis, which made the people's material and spiritual power reach such a tense level, and caused all modern social organizations to be hit so seriously. Therefore, we must make a choice: either directly perish, or entrust our destiny to the most revolutionary class, so as to transition to a higher mode of production at the fastest and most rapid pace."
The tutor was not just talking empty words and shouting slogans. He was a thorough practical man, at least in the rebellion movement, a world-class expert. Under the leadership of the tutor, the number of members of the tutor was increased to 1.5 million from July 1917, and in October it expanded to more than three million, with half of the members concentrated in Petrograd and Moscow.
The workers' union actively supported the Bolsheviks' propositions and launched revolutionary struggles against the provisional government again and again:
In August, Moscow leather workers went on strike, which then developed into a city-wide strike;
On September 1, hardware workers and miners in Ural City held a political strike, demanding that the second plenary meeting of the Soviet Union of All-Russian engineers be convened immediately, and demanding that the Mensheviks and social revolution be expelled from the Soviet Union;
On September 24, Russian railway workers launched a national general strike, demanding an increase in wages, an eight-hour working system, and an improvement in the food supply system.
The strike lasted for three days, and the railway traffic throughout Russia was completely paralyzed, forcing the Provisional Government to meet the workers' demands.
This is not the end. Starting from September, every industry in Russia began to strike one after another. Even some areas, furious workers took over the industrial and mining enterprises and spontaneously supervised production and distribution.
The miners in Donbas arrested the mine owner and took over the mine directly. The provisional government could only send Karekin's Cossacks and the workers who were rebelling from Romania to suppress the uprising. But what is more funny is that all this was useless. Karekin's army turned against him directly, so he had to ask Kerensky for help.
Not only workers, but farmers also began to oppose the Provisional Government, starting from May. Farmers from all over Russia began to seize landlords’ land and farms, of which 152 occurred in the country in May, 440 in August and 958 in September.
More and more peasant representatives Soviets passed resolutions against the provisional government, declaring that the current government could not implement the will of the people at all, and would never trust the irresponsible regime to the people in the future, and demanded that the Soviets representing workers, peasants and soldiers immediately seize the state power.
As for the Russian soldiers' movement, it was even more magnificent, and the Bolsheviks in the army developed extremely rapidly, making it difficult for the Provisional Government to mobilize the army to suppress the uprising of workers and peasants. The commander of the Southwest Front, Baluyev, wrote in his diary on October 8: "Local regimes are completely unable to fight against illegal acts."
Before that, on September 10, 23 infantry regiments on the Northern Front held a representative meeting, which did not recognize the so-called "ruling cabinet" and demanded that all rights be taken to the Soviets. On September 19, the Baltic Fleet in Kronstadt made a resolution - not to recognize the legitimacy of the provisional government and refuse to implement all their orders.
Nearly around Petrograd and Moscow, one million troops fully accepted the Bolsheviks' claims, and nearly half of the four million garrison troops near Petrograd and Moscow supported the Bolsheviks.
For Lenin and the Bolsheviks, the whole month of September was brilliant, and they made rapid progress on all fronts. They crushed the Provisional Government with the momentum of Mount Tai. However, this does not mean that the tutor was smooth sailing. In fact, the closer he got to victory, the more difficult he was.
First of all, the Mensheviks, who were unwilling to be lonely, and the right-wingers of the Social Revolutionary Party directed and performed a farce. In the name of the Central Executive Committee of the Soviet Union, Celetiel held a so-called All-Russian Democratic Conference, attempting to use this conference to exchange for the All-Russian Soviet Congress that was originally scheduled to be held in September.
In terms of the allocation of representative quotas, Celetielli and Qiheze made every effort to put people who were loyal to themselves into the meeting. The most representative and universal representatives of grassroots Soviets, workers' guilds and factory committee representatives only received a considerable number of quotas.
The mentor was angry at the time about the small measures of the Mensheviks and the Social Revolutionary Party: "...There is no revolutionary representative representing the majority of the people in the democratic conference, and there are no poor peasant representatives who are full of righteous indignation. It is simply a meeting of a few bourgeois reactionaries! We must firmly resist this pseudo-democratic conference!"
In response to this, Kamenev, who was unwilling to be lonely, jumped out: "This is a slander! We should respect the authority of the Central Executive Committee of the Soviet Union. Has our party re-yelled the slogan that all rights belong to the Soviet Union? Why did we ignore the authority of the Soviet Union at this critical moment? I think it is inappropriate to do things like this. We should calm down and listen to the call of democratic representatives. Comrades, we can no longer work behind closed doors! We should recognize the reality!"
"The reality is that the so-called democratic conference is simply illegal!" Trotsky immediately stood up to refute Shitou, "According to regulations, the All-Russian Soviet Congress should be held, where the Central Executive Committee of the Soviet Union will be re-elected... The current Central Executive Committee has become a lackey of the reactionary faction, and no resolution of their decision is authoritative or legal!"
"This is the downright reactionary remark!" Kamenev exclaimed, "The current Soviet Central Executive Committee has the right to convene any meeting! This is their basic right!!"
It has to be said that the trick Aksherirod was really vicious. Procedurally speaking, it was completely legal to hold a democratic meeting, but in fact, the Central Executive Committee, who was controlled by the Mensheviks and the right-wingers of the Social Revolutionary Party, had lost the hearts of the people, and it was only a matter of time before they collapsed. And when they were about to fall, they first made such a disgusting trick. It was really boring.
Before the Democratic Conference was held, Zeretielli praised Aksherirod's clever plan: "Have you heard that, today the Bolsheviks had a big quarrel, and they were completely helpless about the convening of the Democratic Conference. I heard that Lenin's face was green. It was so satisfying. A big piece of people's heart!"
Akserillod was not as excited as Zeretielli. After all, the Democratic Conference was a small trick. When the Soviet Central Executive Committee was re-elected, the new executive committee would probably refuse to admit this account. Doing so would at most give Kerensky some buffering time. He was more concerned about the preparations for the preparations.
"How is the planning for the preparatory Congress?" he asked.
The so-called preparatory parliament is also called the provisional parliament. After all, Kerensky has declared the death of the Russian Empire. Naturally, the original laws of the Tsarist Russian Empire, especially the constitution, are no longer applicable to the new republic.
The most urgent task is to elect a new parliament, formulate a new constitution, and elect a new legal government. It has to be said that Kerensky and his group have made a good plan. If they can determine the legitimacy of their temporary cabinet through legislative means, they will greatly alleviate the current passivity and even gain great initiative for future political struggles.
Therefore, on the one hand, they let the Central Executive Committee of the Soviet Union hold the Bolsheviks' hands and feet at the democratic meeting. On the other hand, they actively planned this interim parliament that was extremely beneficial to them.
"Provisional Congress?" After hearing Li Xiaofeng's report, Lenin laughed contemptuously, "Kerensky and Zeretiri have only such a life-saving straw!"
Li Xiaofeng was not as relaxed as the tutor. He thought this interim parliament was very difficult. If they were really made, it would be very unfavorable to the Bolsheviks from a legal perspective.
"It's just a relative disadvantage!" Lenin still didn't care much, "This method has no meaning. It never determines the ownership of the regime. It's the army! Kerensky and the others put the cart before the horse!"
The mentor's "reactionary" remarks scared Li Xiaofeng. You said this too bluntly. If you say what the people are thinking, we can still accept it.
"It is not enough to have the hearts of the people alone!" Lenin snorted, "In 1905, the hearts of the people were not on the side of the Tsar. Who won the result? What would you think the February Revolution and the rebellion against Kornilov would be without the support of the vast army?"
Of course, Li Xiaofeng knew what the mentor meant, and the power came from the gun. But now he saw that he was doing something bad and did nothing, wasn’t it too negative? He had to cause some trouble for Kerensky and the others.
"Of course we have to cause trouble for them!"
Lenin smiled and said, "Aren't they going to set up an interim parliament? Let's strongly boycott this interim parliament. After Nicholas II abdicated, hasn't there already been a set decision on the future Russian government? We should respect the wishes of Grand Duke Mikhail Alexandrovic (Nichol II's younger brother) and establish a constitutional congressional council produced by universal suffrage for the people across the country. Hum, what is the interim parliament!"
Li Xiaofeng's eyes lit up. The teacher's move did hit Kerensky's seven inches. After Nicholas II abdicated, Grand Duke Mikhail refused to accept the throne. According to the established policy, Russia's new regime should be elected by the Constitutional Assembly, and the current government is just a temporary transitional government.
But whether it is the first Provisional Government Prime Minister, Duke Lewoff, or Kerensky, now he is the pretext that the country is in a state of war and has no energy to conduct elections, he wants to postpone the Constitutional Assembly until the end of the war.
Of course, the two of them are abacus, and a discerning person can tell at a glance that they don’t want to hand over power. Especially Kerensky, after he came to power, he repeatedly postponed the convening of the Constitutional Assembly, which has caused him a lot of hatred. Now, this guy actually wants to use the provisional Congress to replace it, or partly replace the power of the Constitutional Assembly. It would be strange if he couldn’t kill him by taking this excuse.
However, when it comes to the Constitutional Assembly, Li Xiaofeng suddenly realized that this Constitutional Assembly was indeed held later, but it lasted for 13 hours from its establishment to its demise. The main reason was that the election results were not entirely beneficial to the Bolsheviks.
At that time, the Bolsheviks, which were supported by workers and soldiers across the country, received about nine million votes (more than 35 million voters nationwide), which belonged to the second largest party, and the largest party was the Social Revolutionary Party that received support from Russian peasants (including the left who supported the Bolsheviks and the Ukrainian Social Revolutionary Party, which received more than 17 million votes). As for the Mensheviks, it was embarrassing to say it, and they only received more than 600,000 votes, which was even one-third of the condemned Cadet Party.
The result should be said to be relatively real and objective. The Bolsheviks received support from workers and soldiers, while the Social Revolutionary Party received support from the vast majority of peasants. If it were other European countries, such as Britain, France and Germany, where industries were more developed than agriculture, the Bolsheviks would definitely have the upper hand. Unfortunately, Russia was still an agricultural country at that time, and agriculture was the main productive force of society, so there were many peasants.
Faced with this unfavorable result, the mentor made a quick decision and immediately announced the convening of the Second Soviet National Congress. The Bolsheviks had an overwhelming advantage in the Soviet Union. Then, under the slogan of chanting "All rights belong to the Soviet Union", the Constituent Assembly was immediately dissolved on the spot.
