142 Finland (Part 1)
Li Xiaofeng does not understand what the tutor means, but understanding and being willing to do this are completely different. Of course, it is not that a certain immortal has a moral obsession with cleanliness. When someone travels back to this era, he has completely abandoned moral integrity and other things. For him, as long as it is a thing that is beneficial to himself and the interest group he lives in, he can do it without any means.
What really made someone resist this is that he didn't want to leave Russia at this critical moment, even if he just went to Sweden, which was very close, he was not happy! November and December 1917 were quite critical time points, and everything that happened in Russia in the past two months almost determined the political direction of the country in the next half century.
It can be said that these two months have been the best time for ambitionists to make money and earn political capital. If you miss this time, someone will regret it. However, the orders of the mentor are irresistible. At least someone can't bargain now. Even if he is reluctant, he can only set off obediently.
However, a fairy did not board the train or steamship to Sweden, but went directly to Vyborg City, Finland. Don’t misunderstand, this is not someone’s preparation to slacke in work, but this guy feels that since going abroad is inevitable, he can only do bad things into good things. Taking this opportunity to go out to Finland to handle the affairs of several companies, it can also lay the foundation for future development.
"That's why you came reluctantly?" Anna rolled her eyes to a certain immortal and said angrily: "You men are all this guy. After eating, they wiped their mouths, put on their pants and left. If your mentor hadn't forced you to go abroad, you might have forgotten me completely!"
Li Xiaofeng was speechless. Although Anna looked angry and had a unique charm, he was really not that kind of person. He always cared about his own women. This era is not like later generations. Everyone has a mobile phone, a phone call, etc., which can easily tell the pain of longing for love.
In this era, a certain immortal could not bear to write letters or send telegrams. During this period, he was so busy that he had no time to masturbate, so how could he care about anything else?
"I'm busy! I'll be fine after this year!" said a certain immortal.
"Hmph!" Anna gave someone a blank look again, "I know you are busy, but please write a letter or send a telegram in the future. Otherwise, I can only think that you are ready to acquiesce to me!"
Even though he knew that Anna was just complaining verbally, a certain immortal felt a little sad. In the past month, he devoted himself to the great cause of revolution, and ignored the women who had something to do with him, and it was a bit too much. So he decided to say a few soft words and coax the other person. However, before he could speak, Anna skipped this directly.
"But what you came is just right. Some of Finland's problems must be solved by you. If you drag on it, it will not be possible for both the Northern Industry and Umbrella to start production in January next year!"
When talking about serious things, Anna has a unique charm of strong women in later generations. This is also the most attractive thing to a certain immortal. Perhaps for all men, there is a plot of ecstasy or ecstasy, which can conquer a mature woman and make them feel particularly accomplished!
Among some people's women, only Anna has such charm. Her unique growth experience determines that this woman is quite strong. Compared with Princess Anne and Angelina, who are like flowers in the greenhouse, she is more likely to arouse men's desire to conquer.
So, someone was distracted and had plans to be frustrated. "Speaking serious things!" Anna blushed and patted someone's An Lushan's claws. "The Vyborg City Trade Union and the Vyborg City Engineer Representative Soviet have been asking for trouble for us, creating quite a lot of obstacles to my work..."
It may be strange if there are comrades. Vyborg City is still in Finland now, as a newly independent country. How come Finland has a Soviet representative of engineers?
In fact, this is not surprising at all. As a former vassal of the Tsarist Russian Empire, although Finland and Russia have great differences in ethnic and linguistic terms, and are even relatively independent in politics, it has a little bit of the meaning of the Russian Special Administrative Region.
However, even if there are differences in this or that, Finland is still deeply influenced by Russia, especially Finland's per capita quality is higher than Russia. When Marxism is widely spread throughout the world, Finland is also deeply affected.
Especially after the Russian Bolsheviks seized power after the October Revolution, the Finnish Bolsheviks were also ready to move. It must be noted that the revolutionary foundation of Finland may be a little better than that of Russia. Under the influence of role models, the Finnish Bolsheviks were also extremely active this month.
Moreover, Vyborg City is a relatively large industrial city, and the power of the working class is quite strong. Under the leadership of the Finnish Bolsheviks, they planned to copy the Russian model in Finland.
Of course, it is obvious whether the Russian Bolsheviks are exerting influence. After all, according to Trotsky's theory of continuous revolution, the Russian revolution is just a leverage, and its function is to leverage the rule of the bourgeoisie all over the world and carry forward the proletarian revolution.
Therefore, starting from November 1917, the stars of the proletarian revolution appeared in Finland. The workers demanded the implementation of an eight-hour working system and the farmers demanded the equal share of the land across the country, which caused a stir.
Whether it is Northern Industry or Umbrella, they are private enterprises, and foreign enterprises. For the Finnish people who are soaring in revolution, it is normal to target these two enterprises.
However, it was not particularly difficult for a certain immortal to solve this problem. He had basically reached an agreement with the mentor on the issues of Northern Industry and Umbrella. In order to get the urgently needed food, the mentor could only turn a blind eye to these two companies. It was not particularly difficult to have the authority of the mentor there, and it was not particularly difficult to persuade the Finnish Bolsheviks to cause less trouble.
"I will contact the local Bolshevik Party Committee," a fairy's claw had already reached the base of Anna's thighs. He said half-heartedly: "They will not cause trouble with you soon!"
While "enjoying" the pleasure brought by a certain immortal, Anna said hatefully: "I know you can solve their problems, but it is not only the Soviets and guilds that are causing trouble with us, but the greater trouble comes from the Finnish Provisional Government!"
The newly independent Finland established a provisional government like Russia, as a bourgeois regime. It is hard for Li Xiaofeng to imagine how they would come to cause trouble.
"Hmph!" Anna snorted angrily, "Those guys said that we have too close relations with Russia. Now they are determined to please the Germans, and they can't wait to find us!"
This answer made Li Xiaofeng speechless again, probably a common problem for all oppressed nations in the world. They simply think that the enemy of the enemy is friends. Do the Finns like Russian rule? That is absolutely not yours, so a large part of their hatred for Russian polar bears was transferred to their love for the Germans.
For example, in this world war, a large number of Finns defected to Germany and went to the front line to fight the Russian devils. Even in Finland's domestic politics, there was a pro-Germany sentiment. Before they had gained independence, many politicians clamored to use the power of the Germans to win national independence and regard the Germans as saviors.
It should be said that this idea is quite naive. In essence, there is no difference between the Germans and the Russians, and it cannot be a living Lei Feng who rescues the oppressed nation. The reason why the Germans have been speaking good things for Finland's independence politically is not that they want to see a nation be liberated, but that they simply want to cause trouble with the Russians - after all, Finland is too close to Russia. If the Finns can drag the Russians back, they will greatly reduce their pressure.
The thing is that simple, but there are always such a group of fools in this world. After Finland's independence, it should be said that the hatred between the Russians and Finland has been greatly reduced, but there are always some Finnish people who think that the Russians are not trustworthy (this is not completely unreasonable). They always feel that if Finland wants to truly win independence, they must give the polar bears a bit of color. Therefore, these idiots have the intention of joining the Allies to go to war against Russia.
Under this trend of thinking, the Finnish political arena has a strong anti-Russian sentiment. Both the northern industry and Umbrella have Russian backgrounds, so it is normal for such a company to be unwelcome to the Finnish political elite.
"You ask me to help solve this problem?"
A day later, a fairy who appeared in Helsinki found Mannaheim and had not seen him for a month or two, but the old man's change was quite large. Although he looked a lot thinner, the gloomy look on his face in the past was much less. It seemed that national independence gave the old man a shot of stimulant.
"For you, this problem is not difficult to solve! It's just a matter of one sentence!" Li Xiaofeng said with a smile.
Mannahim glared at someone angrily. He knew very well that someone’s request was not as simple as a single sentence. Nowadays, the emotions of pro-Germany and anti-Russia in Finnish politics are a wave, and no one dares to fight this wave explicitly, because this is a catharsis of the Finnish national sentiment for more than a hundred years.
Moreover, the Northern Industry and Umbrella are not just about the anti-Russian sentiment, but also involve deeper issues, namely the fear of the Bourgeois in Finland's Bourgeois ruling parties against the Bolsheviks and the diplomatic pressure exerted by Britain, France and the United States.
It is these three factors that determine that Finnish rulers cannot like Northern Industry and Umbrella, and must take good care of this company.
"I have to say that the politicians in your country are too short-sighted!" Li Xiaofeng said with a shaking head, "Everyone is short-sighted!"
Mannaheim didn't like to hear these words. He blew his beard and stared at him and said, "Yes, only you Bolsheviks are smart and capable, and have a lofty vision. But as far as I see, if you are so smart, why is the situation in Russia still a mess?"
Li Xiaofeng smiled and said disrespectfully: "It is not our Bolsheviks who are responsible for the current bad situation in Russia, but the former Tsarist government and the interim government of the bourgeoisie. It is their counter-intentional actions that have brought Russia into the abyss. You cannot ask a regime that has been in power for less than a month to reverse all this in a short time, so that time can prove everything, right?"
Although Mannahem did not agree with someone, he had to admit that time could prove everything right. However, he still mocked: "But I think your time will be very limited. You have failed in the election of the Constitutional Assembly, aren't you?"
"It seems that you are still very concerned about the political situation in Russia!" Li Xiaofeng said with a smile.
"Of course!" Mannahem said seriously, "Your country's political situation will have a profound impact on Finland's future. I must pay more attention! And this can also prevent me from being deceived by some people, right?"
"It seems that you are not optimistic about our Bolsheviks."
Mannahim admitted directly: "You are right at all. I don't like you!"
Li Xiaofeng shrugged: "Then I can only say that you Finns do not have much political vision, they are indeed short-sighted!"
"You..." Mannaheim was really angry now, but he had just started, and someone rushed to say, "Since you care about the political situation in Russia, you should see. How ridiculous the so-called victory of the Social Revolutionary Party is, they temporarily rely on the political foundation laid among the peasants for decades. But at the same time, you must admit that among the workers and soldiers, we Bolsheviks are what everyone wants. May I ask you, who is more capable of controlling the political situation in Russia now?"
Mannahem stopped talking at once because he also knew the particularity of Russia's political situation. The advantage of the number of peasants was not as good as the actual military power and the Bolsheviks' control over industry. The Bolsheviks had guns and tools to produce guns. Even if the Social Revolutionary Party had the support of peasants, it would not be of great significance.
"Is this what your party calls democracy?" Mannahem couldn't help but complain.
"Democracy?" Li Xiaofeng smiled again, "Do you think we must have no advantage in the Constitutional Assembly? The left of the Social Revolutionary Party has been divided from the right. And they have reached an intention to unite with us. Do you think that with the participation of the left of the Social Revolutionary Party, the balance of power is consistent with the election results?"
Mannahem was shocked. Although he had always been paying attention to Russia's political situation, Helsinki and Petrograd were still far apart, and the subtle changes in Russian politics could not be reported to him in time. So after learning that the Bolsheviks were about to unite with the left side of the Social Revolutionary Party, he was shocked.
"It seems that this news is shocking to you!" Li Xiaofeng said slowly.
Mannaheim couldn't calm down, and he asked anxiously: "Didn't you lie to me?"
"The Central Committee of our party has made a resolution on this, and you will probably see a new coalition government being formed in early December."
Mannahim's face changed. It took him a long time to ask, "What are you telling me about this?"
A fairy smiled and said, "Let's help you see the long term! Didn't I just say it? You lack political vision!"
Mannahem held back this tone and asked angrily: "Those alone do not mean anything. Even if you can consolidate the regime, the Germans will not let you have a good time!"
"We are negotiating with Germany," Li Xiaofeng said, and then stopped Mannheim's intention to interrupt, "I know you want to say that the Germans are not easy to pass! But I want to tell you that our will to withdraw from this war is very firm, and we will do whatever it takes!"
Mannahim gasped again. The news was even more shocking than the previous one. The reason why he felt that Finland did not need to care too much about the Bolsheviks for the time being was nothing more than that there were many domestic problems in Russia and it was also very difficult. The Bolsheviks could not take advantage of their actions to take care of foreign issues for a while. And using this period of time, Finland could completely consolidate its independence and security.
However, if Russia ends the war soon, it will be completely different. If the current anti-Russian wave is followed, it is likely to intensify the conflict with Russia. If a war is triggered, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"It seems that you have realized the seriousness of the problem!" Li Xiaofeng said with a smile, "The atmosphere in your country is too excited, almost hysterical... Some very naive fools actually want to unite Germany to deal with us. You should know how dangerous this should be!"
Mannahem did not speak. He had a clear understanding of the dangers of the Germans. The reason why he turned a blind eye to this during this period was nothing more than that Finland needed a channel for catharsis, and such catharsis would not have any harm for the time being.
"I must warn you that the alliance between Finland and Germany will be self-destructive. If you make this wrong choice because of narrow nationalism, then Finland will pay a heavy price!" Li Xiaofeng had to strengthen his tone when he saw that Mannarheim did not speak.
"I can tell you very clearly that the Germans will definitely lose in this war! If you stand in the same trench with the Germans, after defeat, you will face the liquidation of the entire Allied Group, do you think those jackals, tigers and leopards will be polite to you?"
Mannahim's face became increasingly ugly. He had realized the danger, but he felt that Finland had other choices: "Then we can stand with the winners directly. I believe that the Allies will be very annoyed of your betrayal and will be happy to maintain Finland's independence!"
Li Xiaofeng smiled slightly and pointed and said, "Isn't it naive again? Do you think the Allies will give you freedom? If you want to obtain their protection, you have to tie a dog chain to yourself, then crawl in front of them and present the chain with both hands..."
