367 Scratching
With rich and powerful American imperialism, there is no need to worry that the so-called special medicine cannot be sold at a price. If you don’t rob, who will be the first tyrant today? Anyway, since late August, Victoria has been in pain and happiness. What is happy is to make a lot of money, and what is painful is that the production capacity cannot keep up with the situation. The orders of the Allies and Allies are enough for Umbrella to make a year of great leap forward.
The profit is too much beyond imagination, just like drug trafficking. In fact, it is just drug trafficking. People on earth know what methamphetamine is, with low cost and amazing profits. Moreover, this thing is addictive. Even if the war is over, Umbrella can cultivate a large loyal user group.
Anyway, Li Xiaofeng doesn’t have to worry about the profitability of Umbrella within ten years. After selling out the “anti-viral special drugs”, he can sell “BCG vaccine” or “streptomycin”. If he really doesn’t, he can make a fortune even if he doesn’t.
The huge profits greatly stimulated the confidence of shareholders. Umbrella's R&D department has received unprecedented attention. The top laboratories and top treatment in Europe have attracted the attention of countless experts and scholars for a while.
It’s good to have money. A fairy with a lot of money can finally do things that she wanted to do but could not do before. Of course, it’s not a life-long trash. A fairy thinks he is not a rich man, and his money will be used on the blade.
Nokia, which has always been a stagnant pool, has also ushered in a turning point. High-paying technicians and first-class equipment bought at high prices have allowed this electronics company that could only lay cables to complete a gorgeous turn. Since 1919, radios, radios, and advanced telephone switches have been continuously removed from the production line. Products are popular in Europe and the United States and are essential products in home life.
In the late 1920s, taking advantage of the global economic crisis, Nokia once again completed technology acquisitions and industrial upgrading. In the early 1930s, it produced the first radar, the first radio direction finding machine, and the first radio jammer, which fully prepared for the upcoming World War II.
Northern Industry also completed its industrial upgrading that year. After obtaining a large amount of capital injection, this little-sized gun manufacturer began to be dissatisfied with only producing light weapons. The company focused its attention on artillery. After acquiring a small Finnish seamless steel pipe factory, Northern Industry began to develop the world's first real rocket launcher. This extremely fierce weapon will soon make its debut in the Russian Civil War and the First Russian-Polish War. It will shock the world!
In early October, when a fairy turned the situation in Western Europe and returned to Vyborg with a full wallet, the October Revolution was about to pass a year. During this year, he truly gained a firm foothold in the Bolsheviks. What needs to be done next is to take steady steps.
The situation in Vyborg was not much different from that before a certain immortal left. After several temptations, Earl Gerz found that the defense line of the volunteers was extremely strong. With the military power at hand, he could not break through the opponent's defense line. Moreover, as the new virus rages in Western Europe, the General Staff and the Cabinet repeatedly warned him not to provoke in the direction of Vyborg.
International politics is so realistic and profit-oriented. No problem is wrong in the face of national interests. The Germans really dare not offend someone, not only because someone is very powerful, but also because he has a pharmaceutical company that can greatly influence the situation. Only fools and lunatics will offend such an existence for the sake of the small Finland.
Therefore, the Finnish Provisional Government has been quite unsatisfied in the past two months. German allies have become increasingly disdainful of them, and the domestic economic situation is a mess. The small Finland is really unable to maintain a huge army of more than 100,000 people, and the military expenditures every day make Swinhuwude feel painful.
"The war must be ended as soon as possible, otherwise the government will have to go bankrupt!"
However, no one in the Provisional Government Cabinet spoke of Swanhuwud's assertion. Everyone knew that the war must be ended, but how to end the war?
No one dared to speak about this issue. Because the situation is obvious, it is absolutely impossible to use the power of the Finnish White Army to kill the Russian devils and take down Vyborg. The Germans' attitude is very ambiguous, and they can tell at first that they secretly communicate with the Russians. In this case, it is impossible to end the war with force.
It seems that they can only negotiate to resolve the problem, but Swinhuwud strongly disliked Kusining and refused to talk to the Finnish Social Democratic Party. In this way, it is neither to advance nor retreat. How can the war end?
"Negotiation. Now we can only negotiate!"
However, Swan Huwud seemed to have finally turned around and no longer resisted the negotiations, which shows how much pressure he was under. However, this guy agreed to the negotiations, which did not mean that things were easy to handle. In fact, things were as difficult as ever, because Swan Huwud set a prerequisite for the negotiations-Cusining and the top leaders of the Social Democratic Party must accept the trial of the Finnish Provisional Supreme Court.
How could Kuxining and the Social Democratic Party agree to this point? Even Li Xiaofeng cannot agree to it. In his opinion, there is only one person who is capable and qualified to make conditions at the negotiating table now - that is, he, the immortal.
Which is Swindow and Wude? Your German master dares not talk to me like this. How can you be the big shot here?
"In principle, we do not refuse to use negotiations to resolve problems," he put forward his own opinions at the joint meeting of the Russian Volunteer Army and the Finnish Red Guards: "But the premise of negotiations must be carried out on a fair and reciprocal basis. The so-called peace negotiation proposal of the pseudo-government of the Finnish White Bandits Army must be firmly rejected... If they really want peace and want to end the war, they must show sincerity!"
This statement seems to be fair, taking care of the face of Kusining and the Finnish Social Democratic Party, and not completely closing the door to peace talks, making it impossible for Swan Huwud to take advantage of the issue and barking in the newspapers with hissing.
However, this opinion made Kusining quite dissatisfied with him. He firmly opposed peace talks. As the leader of the Finnish people (that he thinks he is), as the only Social Democratic Party that can represent the Finnish people, its core mission is to rescue the Finnish people from the clutches of the bourgeoisie.
Now, the Bolsheviks, who were comrades and brothers, advocated negotiations with the devils, which was a betrayal of the Finnish people and the revolution, and they were definitely not acceptable! Not only could they not accept it, but they had to criticize severely, and the task of the Russian Volunteer Army must be redefined and clarified - that is, liberate the entire territory of Finland and drive away the bourgeois devils!
Naturally, Kuxining and Li Xiaofeng definitely cannot reach an agreement, and the differences are as obvious as natural barriers. And what is more obvious is that Li Xiaofeng will definitely not be able to go to Kuxining. The relationship between the two sides cannot be described as tension, but it is incompatible with water and fire.
At first, Kuxin tried to convince the commander and deputy commander of the Volunteer Army, but Svechin and Ubolevich were not interested in these political affairs at all. Now they and Triandafilov are enthusiastically studying the future mechanized combat theory. The purebred Qiu Bas stayed away from political disputes.
This road cannot be understood. Kusining thought of Stalin and immediately sent a telegram for help to Steel, hoping that this Tie Ge would help him quickly. Unfortunately, Stalin was far away in Ukraine at the time. As the general political commissar and logistics commander of the Southwest Front, he was busy solving the practical problems of the Southwest Front. He thought about how to find more like-minded talents, how to get more food, and how to completely solve Peterliula and Makhno. For Finland, he was really not interested in Kusining's small matters as big as sesame and mung beans.
Not only was he not interested, he also didn't dare to intervene. As the last time a certain immortal slapped the mentor and Trotsky, he also discovered that the power of a certain immortal was very powerful, so he should not commit crimes casually, otherwise the consequences would be difficult to say.
Moreover, Stalin felt that the little things in Finland were not important at all, and that Russia was the focus of attention. As long as Russia's problems were solved, such small problems as Finland would naturally be solved.
Stalin did not pay attention, which made Kusining crazy. He could only use the last resort to accuse a certain immortal of his arrogant style to the Communist International. He strongly demanded that the Volunteer Army change to another political commissar.
As the chairman of the Central Executive Committee of the Communist International, Zinoviev did not mind giving Li Xiaofeng eye pills, but he, the chairman, could not be completely masters of the country. The real right to speak lies in the hands of the mentor and Trotsky. If the two great gods don’t nod, he, the chairman, can only catch them blindly.
"We should pay attention to the opinions of Comrade Kusining. Finland's problems are not just the problems of the Finnish Social Democratic Party and the Finnish people. Revolutions around the world are a game of chess. As the revolutionary situation is second only to our country, if we can win the victory of the revolution, it will inevitably inspire the confidence of the proletariat around the world and launch a new revolution "gaochao"!"
Trotsky naturally replayed the old tune. As the revolutionary situation gradually improved, he would talk about the theory of continuous revolution twice when he had the opportunity, and Lenin's ears were almost calloused.
The tutor is not opposed to launching a new revolution "gaochao", but he prioritizes domestic issues. Kolchak in the Ural direction is becoming more and more arrogant. With the arrival of winter, his army has begun to move. Seeing a large-scale decisive battle about to break out, Trotsky, can you be more alert? As the chairman of the Military Commission, please pay attention to Kolchak's problems first!
As for Finland's problem, what, Vyborg is in our hands, and it would be OK to keep the food import channels open. As for the liberation of Finland, we don't care about it for the time being.
Xiaos's opinion became clearer. Not only did he support Lenin's priority decision, but he also believed that using negotiations to resolve the conflict in Finland is a good way. He said: "With the premise of ensuring that the legitimate rights and interests of the Finnish Social Democratic Party are not infringed on the contrary, the Finnish problem can be resolved through negotiation... It must be noted that there is a voice abroad that has been slandering us, saying that we have given Finland freedom, but in actual actions, they are still interfering in Finland's internal affairs. Of course, this statement is not worth mentioning, but it must be noted that we have stationed an army in Finland, and the daily consumption and expenditure are huge. We can end the war in a peaceful way, and transfer these troops that can only conquer and fight back to the domestic battlefield to participate in the suppression of the rebellion!"
Xiao Si's proposal was very good for the taste of the mentor, and even Derrensky felt it was very correct. Kolchak gathered an army of more than 300,000 in just one or two months. Although many of them were just filling in the numbers and captured, the huge number had to be taken seriously. If the volunteer army with strong combat effectiveness could be transferred back to the country to suppress the rebellion, it would inevitably increase a lot of chances of victory.
Suddenly, Trotsky became anxious: "We cannot be so short-sighted. Although Kolchak showed a certain strength, I think the Ural Front commanded by Brusinov was completely enough to solve them and did not require additional reinforcements! And Finland will be our best window for promoting the revolution. The impact of the victory of the Finnish revolution is far beyond the reach of the eradication of Kolchak!"
The mother said that the mother had the right reason, and no one was willing to give in. Naturally, there would be no conclusion on how to solve the Finnish problem. Things were dragged down. Kusining was quite happy, as long as there was no negotiation!
Of course, he would also use some tricks to disgust a certain immortal in secret.
"The Red Guards will launch a large-scale counterattack in mid-October. Our plan is to recover Raipo and advance to Kovola, laying a solid foundation for the subsequent recovery of Helsinki. I ask the Volunteer Army to cooperate with the Red Guards' operations. The Volunteer Army's mission is..."
Before he finished speaking, he was ruthlessly interrupted by Li Xiaofeng: "The mission of the Volunteer Army is to guard Villeburg, that's all!"
Kusining immediately became angry and said angrily: "What do you mean?!"
Li Xiaofeng snorted: "My meaning is very clear. The Red Guards want to counterattack, there is no problem. You just let go of the counterattack. But the volunteers will not participate in the counterattack. Our mission is only to ensure the safety of Vyborg!"
Kusining slapped the table and shouted: "The mission of the Volunteer Army is to liberate the entire Finland! Naturally, we must participate in the counterattack against the White Army!"
Li Xiaofeng sneered, slapped the table in a tit-for-tat way, and retorted: "The mission of the Volunteer Army is to protect the Russian expatriates in Finland, that's all! I don't care about your plans or your intentions, but it has nothing to do with the Volunteer Army! If you want to counterattack, just go by yourself. Don't pull the Volunteer Army!"
After the meeting, Kusining sent a protest telegram to the Communist International and Trotsky, strongly accusing Li Xiaofeng of disobeying commands and strongly demanding that the leadership of the Volunteer Army be replaced.
"What a joke!" Xiao Si was the first to sneer at this, "Comrade Kusining is completely unreasonable. How can he launch a counterattack under the current situation? Didn't he know that we are preparing to fight Kolchak? In this case, all military resources must be used for the decisive battle of Urals. We cannot be wasted in other directions!"
Trotsky wanted to say many things but could not say were blocked by Xiao Si. Kusining wanted to counterattack, but in fact he had gained his support and approval. Otherwise, Kusining would have the courage to challenge a certain immortal?
Now, Xiao Si shot off the plan to counterattack with the excuse of destroying Kolchak. He really couldn't object, so he could only say: "That would make Comrade Kusining postpone the counterattack operation and wait until the Ural battle is over. It is feasible to invest in the counterattack!"
To put it bluntly, Trotsky wanted to promote his continuous revolutionary line. As long as the central government affirmed that Kusining's counter-offensive action was reasonable, the tone of the Finnish revolution in the future will be set. Unless there is some major change, no one can overturn his continuous revolutionary theory.
Xiao Si naturally knew what Trotsky was planning, which was completely contrary to the plan of a certain immortal for the future of Finland. To be honest, he was more inclined to someone's plan, and Trotsky's theory of continuous revolution was more like a death. So he firmly resisted the counterattack: "I think even if the battle of Urals is over, it should not be counterattacked in Finland too early. We also have the problems of Ukraine, the problems of the Caucasus, and the problems facing the interference of the Allies in the Far East need to be solved. Before these problems are solved, before the domestic situation is fully stable and improved, we should not be too distracted on foreign issues! Only by focusing on one's heart can the victory of the revolution be won!"
"I strongly oppose this statement!" Trotsky became angry. He felt that this was Xiao Si's theory of continuous revolution. "I have made theoretical deductions long ago. The revolution of the proletariat is definitely not able to win in a single country. As long as the proletarian revolution in the world is unified and a huge wave is set off, we can defeat imperialism and capitalism. Otherwise, the revolution will only go to a dead end, which is a dead end!"
"I did not say that the proletariat in the world would not allow the revolutionary struggle, but the revolutionary foundation and revolutionary situation of each country were completely different. One-sided emphasis on exporting revolutions and one-sided demands to instigate revolutions when the situation did not allow them. This is equivalent to sending our precious revolutionary vitality to the enemy's gun... We should carry out the revolutionary struggle step by step and plan and arrange it, instead of rushing forward regardless of objective conditions. That is not a revolution, but nonsense!"
OK! No one can convince anyone. Xiao S and Trotsky almost fought for this. There is no way. The mentor could only quickly smooth out the situation: "We cannot deal with the issue of how to carry out the world revolution for the time being. This is the work of the Communist International. Otherwise, what should we do to establish this new international... Our current task is to handle the domestic revolutionary struggle. As for the direction of the Finnish revolution, if the Finnish comrades decide, we cannot overstep the matter... But I want to emphasize that the responsibility of the Russian Volunteer Army is to protect our expatriates in Finland and protect precious food import channels. This is their core task!"
