Indeed, the mentor did not have many ways to let the Germans stop obediently, because first of all, the Bolsheviks took the initiative. This time, in a sense, the Germans were passive counterattacks. Secondly, as time entered 1919, a series of profound changes began to quietly take place in international relations.

As mentioned before, the Allied Group was quite sad when they entered 1919. They were still hoping for victory before, and they really felt that decent peace talks were quite ideal.

However, this kind of ideal peace talks is better than a fantasy. How can the Allies, which have been gritting their teeth and persevering until now, allow them to let go of the German and Austrian group so easily? With the support of the United States, although their lives are still not easy, they can always support them. And they are sure that as long as they grit their teeth and persevere to the end, victory is just around the corner.

We can clearly embrace victory, why should we give the Deao Group a chance to breathe, and why should we leave them a breath?

Therefore, the Allies had no interest in peace talks with the Allies, and they just wanted to put on the noose of the German and Austrian group and strangle these two disasters in one breath.

It is precisely because the Allies are not interested in peace talks that the German and Austrian group is even more panicked. They cannot negotiate peace talks and cannot end the war with a decent amount. For both countries, it is destruction! Who would like to watch the destruction come?

Inevitably, the German-Australia Group must save itself and make efforts. How to work hard? On the one hand, of course, it is to do the work of persuading and releasing goodwill from various channels. On the other hand, it is naturally to find a way to divert the attention of the Allies. If the attention of these wealthy wolf, tiger and leopards can be diverted from their own country, and if they can find a more dangerous opponent for them, can the opposition and confrontation between us be eased?

Even the Germans had this idea, if we could find a common enemy between both sides, could we transform from opposition to cooperation?

Of course, to achieve all this, the Germans must first find the enemy that suits their imagination.

Is there any?

Yes! And it is very obvious. The communist virus has hovered over Europe, Russia has fallen, and with the deepening of the Russian revolution, this virus is raging wildly, and there is a risk of sweeping the whole world!

The Germans are naive to think that although our two groups are fighting, our class attributes are the same. We are both capitalist and imperialist hooligans. As the saying goes, they are like-minded. We are not fighting to death for the sake of that little national interest. But now a group of barefoot little red guys are going to make a fuss and make us a whole pot. This kind of crisis is more terrible than the victory of any of our sides!

The Germans cried and shouted, telling the terrible communism to the Allies, and shaped communism into a flood. It seemed that if communism was not eliminated, the Allies would also give them food if they won. If communism was not eliminated, they would also be swallowed up by those devils if they won.

In short, the Germans used all means and methods to exaggerate the horror of communism, and they were determined to turn the guns of the Allies to the East.

And this time, Klestinsky happened to give them an excellent excuse. The Germans had sufficient reasons to attack and were even very happy - the Russians were indeed stupid again.

On the day when the Bolsheviks in Estonia broke out, they exaggerated a terrifying atmosphere in the newspapers, accusing communism and the Bolsheviks of becoming a major concern. The devil who claimed that communism would not be satisfied. They first devoured Russia. Next, they had to devour the three Baltic countries, redeem Poland, and even Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Their ultimate goal was to devour the entire world.

However, it is not very meaningful to just create a terrifying atmosphere and chattering nonsense on your mouth. The Germans must make practical actions and explain the problem with practical actions.

What practical action? Naturally, it is to act as the pioneer in the eradication of the communist devil and the executioner of the Allies to punish Russia!

Therefore, the Germans were so impatient to dispatch troops and show off their military power on the border between Estonia and Russia so brutal. All of this was actually done for the Group of Allies!

After knowing this internal factor, comrades should know how difficult and complicated the matter is this time. It is quite difficult to end with a decent ending. Who has made the nature of the matter change?

Li Xiaofeng received an order from his mentor to clean up the mess in Vyborg. At that time, he was preparing a final strike against Finland. With the arrival of winter, the Finns' days were getting harder and harder, with no food, no fuel for heating, and there were shells that kept falling from their heads. Who could withstand such ghost days?

For the first time, Basilkivi felt that the Prime Minister's position was not easy to sit at all. There were endless problems to deal with every day, and thousands of mouths were open to him and asked for food and drink. The most important thing was that neither the Allies' expeditionary force nor Mannaheim could bring him good news.

"The Allies' expeditionary forces have existed only on paper and have actually been destroyed." Basilkivi wrote in his diary, "The Russians and the cold winter completely destroyed them, and the last American soldier who formed the army also put down his weapons and raised his hands to surrender in Parikala. Our own army is not much better than them. The battle on the periphery of Helsinki has basically ended. Although Mannaheim has tried his best, he cannot stop the Russians from rushing into Helsinki... Sitting in front of the window of the Prime Minister's Office, I could vaguely hear guns and cannons. Later, I and the other members of the cabinet must leave Helsinki and move to Turku..."

But what is worth noting in Basilkivi's diary is not pessimism about the future, but anger at the untrustworthy Allies: "The British and Americans fooled us together. Their promised aid did not enter the Finnish treasury, and everything was a lie, just a trick to deceive us into working hard!"

To be honest, Basilkivi's words are a bit biased. The Finnish government did not receive the aid it deserves, but it was not that the Allies were untrustworthy, but that the poor traffic conditions in Finland in winter caused all of these aids to accumulate near Murmansk.

According to the memories of the British and American Expeditionary Army soldiers who occupied Murmansk at that time, Murmansk was filled with various supplies, thousands of tons of canned food, flour and pickled meat products, truckloads of leather winter clothes, fur shoes, blankets, weapons and ammunition. The Americans directly prepared the arms Nicholas II ordered at that time to give to the Finns.

So what about the final fate of these materials? They were picked up by a certain immortal. After basically annihilated the living forces of the Allied Expeditionary Force, the Red Eagle Regiment did not stop. Instead, they headed north along the road and captured Murmansk on January 20, recapturing the Arctic Ocean port that was illegally occupied by the Allied Group for nearly a year.

This feat not only seized a large amount of materials, but also announced that Russia had regained the sea outlet to the Atlantic Ocean. Even if this sea outlet is only symbolic, it is enough to inspire people!

The mentor who learned the good news personally sent a congratulatory message to Ren Fuchen, the main leader of the Volunteer Army and the leader of the Red Eagle Regiment. He awarded the Red Eagle Regiment two revolutionary honors red flags and a revolutionary honor weapon. This is the first time that a foreigner has won this honor!

However, Li Xiaofeng was not very happy at the time. Although it was gratifying to recover Murmansk, as the Red Eagle Regiment headed north, the Vyborg area could be said to be a vacuum. Except for a few border police forces and Jews who were undergoing training at the Lagado training base, there was no one available in his hands.

This is not a good thing, especially when the mentor ordered him to start solving the Germans' problems, which seemed particularly difficult. He was quite clear about the Germans' current plan of fighting, and it was completely impossible to rely on them to talk to them and resolve disputes. Anyway, Li Xiaofeng was ready to fight a war, and they would not be honest if they didn't beat the Germans!

"We don't have much force available in Petrograd," Ubolevic reminded. "In addition to the two regiments of the First Division of the Guards Infantry, plus part of the Red Seventh Army, this force is not enough to defeat the German devils in Estonia."

"I know!" Li Xiaofeng sighed. He didn't know that the troops were tight, but now there were tense everywhere on all fronts, and there was no extra force to support him. "We can only end the Finnish battle as soon as possible, so that a division can be drawn."

Ubolevich smiled bitterly, as if there was only one way, the problem was. The Finnish battle could end as long as it wanted? The Finns were probably not that easy to talk to!

"Send someone to contact the Finns to see if they can negotiate." Li Xiaofeng made the decision.

Lenin also agreed with his decision, saying in a reply to a certain immortal: "I agree with your idea of ​​resolving the Finnish issue through negotiation. But I must emphasize a few points: First, the negotiation must ensure the true rights and interests of the Finnish Social Democratic Party. Secondly, the leadership of the working class in the Vyborg area must be guaranteed. Finally, while negotiations, we cannot relax our vigilance, and we must be mentally prepared for the unsuccessful negotiations..."

"Then should we stop attacking Helsinki?" Svechin asked.

"The attack cannot be stopped." Li Xiaofeng replied flatly, "We must put enough pressure on the Finnish White Army and let them know who takes the initiative!"

After a little pause, he said decisively: "Even, we should put more pressure on it. Just like the Germans in February last year, we must force the Finns to accept our conditions!"

Ubolevich asked, "That's the Estonian problem?"

Li Xiaofeng thought for a while and replied: "Comrade Lenin gave me the deadline before the opening of the Eighth National Congress. There is still time now. With the strength of the two main regiments of the Red Seventh Army and the First Guard Infantry Division, there is still no problem in defense. Let's first solve the Finnish side, and then solve the Estonian problem!"

It has to be said that Li Xiaofeng is now quite authoritative in the area around Vyborg in the Volunteer Army. It can even be said that on major issues, he, the political commissar, is more authoritative than Commander Svechin.

Not long after Basilkivi moved to Turku, he received a telegram from Mannaheim, "The Russians want to negotiate?"

This news surprised and delighted Basilkivi. He and Mannaheim had analyzed this issue before. They agreed that given the bad situation in Russia, the scale of this battlefield should not continue to expand, and the Russians should not be able to fully annex Finland again, and it is very likely that negotiations will be used to solve the problem in the end.

But what surprised Pasquivi was that the Russians would propose peace talks at this time and speak their hearts. He was surprised. However, as a qualified politician, he quickly contacted the friction in Estonia and believed that Russia-German relations were likely to deteriorate.

"This is good news for us!" Basilkivi said happily at the cabinet meeting. "As the Russians have more and more enemies, the front line is getting longer and longer. It is inevitable that they will collapse! In order to avoid collapse, they must make choices. Judging from the current situation, they are ready to make concessions on our issues!"

After a little pause, Bassiekivi said excitedly: "This is a good opportunity. We can take this opportunity to take back Vyborg and drive the Russians back to their hometown!"

I have to say that Bassiekivi is too optimistic. How could a certain immortal spit out the Vyborg he ate? What's more, Vyborg has an important role in a certain immortal.

But Basilkivi did not realize this at that time. He said to himself: "Tell the Russian envoy that our request is very simple, and the Russian army immediately withdrew from Finland's land! Only in this way can peace be restored!"

Li Xiaofeng, who learned the news, sneered: "He hasn't woken up yet?"

He sighed and said, "It seems we must make the Finns sober and let them know who has the right to speak. Strengthen the attack on Helsinki! Capture it!"

In the early morning of January 23, the volunteers suddenly launched a general attack on Helsinki. In just four hours, the Finnish White Army completely defeated and occupied the city.

"Occupy Helsinki is not enough!" Li Xiaofeng said to Svechin with a smile, "You can also draw out some troops to chase Turku, and then scare the Finns!"

Basskivi was indeed frightened. He had just swearingly asserted that the Russians could not stand it anymore. Who would have thought that before he finished speaking, the Russians captured Helsinki and even advanced quickly towards Turku along the railway line. The cities along the way were descending, and if this continued, it would only be a matter of time before Turku fell.

"Where is your army?" In desperation, Basskivi could only send a telegram to Mannaheim with a slap in the face.

It can be seen how disappointed and anxious Basilvi was. However, Mannaheim did not have many ways. It was not easy for the White Army to last for a month without food and clothing, and guns and bullets. His young man was a human, not a machine. You can't expect them to be ten if they were too hungry to stand up and pull the bolt, right?

Therefore, he also slapped Bassiekivi's recharge: "Where are the arms? Where are the food? Where are the winter clothes?"

Fortunately, these two people are rational and have not really turned against each other except for talking. After the two met in Turku, they talked in detail for a whole night. The next day, Basilkivi held an emergency cabinet meeting: "The current situation is extremely critical, and Finland's survival is on the front line. In order to avoid further deterioration of the situation, we can only negotiate with the Russians..."

The Finns were finally beaten back to the negotiating table, but Li Xiaofeng asked Svechin not to be busy with a truce, let the troops continue to pursue, and must advance to Turku!

"We strongly protest your approach, demanding a truce on the one hand, but continuing to use force on the other hand! Is this what you call sincerity?" Bassikivi shouted angrily.

Li Xiaofeng replied indifferently: "We had sincerely suggested that the two sides cease to fight and negotiate, but your side refused ruthlessly. At one time, I doubt that your side was under the guise of negotiation and was slowing down the enemy!"

"This is slander!" Bassiekivi protested again.

Li Xiaofeng just smiled coldly and asked, "So you did not ask for military assistance from the Allies Group and did not urgently purchase arms from Sweden?"

Basilkiwi stopped talking at once. Naturally, a qualified politician would not hang himself on a tree. His abacus was to negotiate on one side and quickly re-arm the army. Now that Li Xiaofeng revealed it at one glance, he was a little embarrassed.

But as a qualified politician, this embarrassment is nothing. Basilkivi immediately denied: "This is nonsense, it is a despicable means to justify your shameless actions!"

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said disdainfully: "Then you just think we are despicable and shameless. A real villain is better than a hypocrite, right?" As he said, he said without doubt: "I will say it clearly. You will not cease until you agree to our conditions! If you don't agree to it for a day, we will attack for one day. Maybe it's easier to destroy you directly, at least you don't need to grind your teeth with the hypocrite!"

As he said that, Li Xiaofeng directly took all the negotiators to leave the negotiating table, and didn't even look at Bassiekiwei. He was so angry that he almost turned his back.

"Is this really good?" Ubolevic and Svechin were a little worried. "Will they force themselves to jump over the wall?"

Li Xiaofeng sneered: "If they could jump over the wall, they would have jumped long ago. Whether they were seeking aid or buying arms, they would not be able to relieve their thirst. Bassiekivi is a smart man, and what he did was more like a bargaining method. And what we had to do was to expose their fantasies mercilessly!"

Li Xiaofeng was right. Purchasing arms and applying for aid cannot solve the current crisis of Basilica. Think about it, even if you buy arms, it will take time to re-arm the army? The combat effectiveness of the mob has been proven to be unable to deal with the volunteer army. No matter how many strong men are, Basilica will only give food.

As for begging for assistance from the Allies, it is even more unrealistic. Murmansk was lost, and the Baltic Sea was under the control of the German Navy, and no assistance could be transported in!

Looking at the frowning Bassieve, Mannahem sighed: "Let's do this, I'll talk to that Comrade Andre myself, we have some friendship..."
