    When I hurried to the Presidential Palace after receiving the call, the conference room was already packed with people.  Not only Tang Shaoyi and Sa Zhenbing came, but people like Xu Xiujun, Cai Gongshi and Yang Du also rushed to the presidential palace as soon as they got the news. If Zhan Tianyou hadn't personally gone to the Mongolian plateau to supervise the construction of the railway, he would probably have come, because  The Baoku Railway built under his supervision is now the top priority. In order to open up this line, the Republic of China government even had to stop several other railway projects to fully cooperate.

    The moment Yang Qiu walked into the conference room, all eyes were focused on his tall, thin and tall figure.

    No matter when he decides to take the final step, everyone must admit that he is the pillar of support at this moment!  It was he who laid the foundation for national unification, fought the Sino-Japanese War, and personally promoted the Agreement to Join the Alliance. He also used technology, politics, and troop dispatch to exchange for the transition from lack of industry to the current climate, and even made up most of the national finance and taxation  Growth is also closely related to his strategic planning.

    So when Lu Zhengxiang sent back the news that another revolution broke out in Russia, that the Poor Party seized power with armed force and publicly announced that it would withdraw from the war, everyone except a few people panicked.  Non-core personnel like Cai Yuanpei and Zhang Jizhi are even more panicked.  Because no matter how stupid anyone is, they all know that if Russia really withdraws from the war, I am afraid that the pressure on France will increase several times. When the millions of German and Austrian troops turn to the west, they will not be able to deal with just a few hundred thousand expeditionary troops.  .  As for the US military, everyone is even more worried, because judging from the news sent back by Yue Peng and Wang Zhengting, they are not so much volunteers as millions of American cowboys with an adventurous spirit, not to mention that there are geopolitics involved.  And one hundred thousand Eastern Front soldiers!

    Wang Anlan grabbed the telegram. After Li Yuanhong became president, the former deacon of the Hubei New Army 21 Compound Association became more and more stable as the presidential secretary. However, he was so tall that he actually rivaled Li Yuanhong.  I saw him walking quickly to Yang Qiu's side.  Handed over the telegram: "Vice President. This is an urgent telegram from Lu Zhengxiang."

    Unlike everyone who was nervous, Yang Qiu looked calm and serious on the surface, but deep down he was so excited that he wanted to shout twice.  I have finally waited for this day!  Why did you work so hard to send troops to the Western Front?  Isn¡¯t it just to make a name for itself and let the Western world weigh its weight?  Whether it is distant Africa or several German colonial islands in the Pacific, they are not within the reach of the Republic of China at present.  Even if Britain and France were given to him, would he still be able to control it?  So he set his sights on the north from the beginning!

    Sakhalin - Vladivostok - Khabarovsk - Chita - Lake Baiga - Irkutsk - Lake Balkhashland!  These Yanhuang lands that have been lost for a long time and even forgotten by most Chinese people are the targets!  He quickly exchanged glances with Song Ziqing. The Sunrise Plan was planned and drafted by the two of them together, so they both tacitly raised the corners of their mouths and suddenly returned to seriousness and calmness.

    "Ziqing. How is the reserve division supporting the Second Expeditionary Force?"

    He didn¡¯t ask about the situation, but he was concerned about the 15 reserve divisions that were originally going to be deployed on the Eastern Front, which made Cai Yuanpei and others feel that something was wrong.  It is impossible to send troops to the Eastern Front at this time. Do you want to interfere with the Russian regime with arms?  This is no small matter!  It had only been five years since the Republic of China was unified. It was enough to interfere in a small neighboring country, but it was absolutely impossible to interfere in Russia, which spanned more than 10,000 kilometers!  As it stands now, in order to support the five divisions entering Russia, huge investments have been made in domestic logistics, and half of the supplies shipped each time are consumed on the road.  If we go to 15 more divisions, won't all the wealth accumulated in Europe in the past few years be filled into this bottomless pit?

    Song Ziqing is one of the very few people here who knows the entire Sunrise Plan, so he doesn't care about the surprised looks.  He stood up and walked to the map: "I had ordered the Northeast Theater District to be on alert before I came. Currently, 5 of the 15 reserve divisions are cooperating with the Ministry of Railways to build the Baoku Railway day and night. Chen Huan and his 2 light divisions are preparing to take 30 trains to the Urals  , was originally supposed to arrive at Manzhouli Station 4 days later. Xu Shuzheng's two divisions arrived in Kulun in August. The remaining six divisions are on standby in Harbin and Changchun. The training of each division has been completed and can be put into operation at any time. In addition, yesterday's telegram stated that Songpo has arrived from Marseille  I¡¯ll start my journey back to China and I¡¯ll arrive in Shanghai around the beginning of the month.¡±

    Yang Qiu quickly walked to the map.  He knew the purpose of Chen Huan's trip best. His mission was to continue to increase troops as a disguise. After the first batch of trains arrived in Irkutsk, he would immediately take action with Chita and Uland's troops!  It was impossible for the three places with sparse and unsuspecting troops to block the sneak attack of the two divisions, not to mention Xu Shuzheng's two divisions who could support them.  After winning the three places, two divisions will move north to control Omsk, Tomsk and other places. This will basically ensure the Siberian Railway and guard against the Russian troops coming from Vladivostok and Khabarovsk.  As for the threat from the Poor Party guerrillas, the threat is not very great, because the Northern Dragon's Tooth Operation in the past few years has basically destroyed their power in the Far East, and the Security Bureau has already penetrated them.  However, the Mongolian rebels operating in that area are somewhat powerful, and it would be a headache if they got mixed up with the poor party guerrillas.  But with 4 divisions stationed, and 2 to 3 more divisions can be added in the future, they willEven a moment can't change the world!  Originally, he was worried about who would lead the Sunrise Project, but Cai E's return relieved his urgent need.

    Thinking of this, he immediately looked at Li Yuanhong. After all, he was the legitimate president.  The latter was very satisfied with Yang Qiu's attitude of looking at himself first, but he knew his own affairs, and he could still make the final decision in charge of the officials below him. This kind of matter involving external competition was definitely not his strength, and he couldn't control it at all, so  Hehe smiled: "Chen Hua, just say it, Shaochuan and I can still handle some things."

    After getting this sentence, Yang Qiu immediately looked around at everyone and said: "This armed coup in Russia is not a trivial matter. I believe that the British and French sides are in chaos. We also need to send people to France immediately to negotiate the follow-up. As for the candidates"

    Seeing him looking at her, Tang Shaoyi understood what he was thinking and interrupted: "The north is restless and needs Chen Hua to take charge. You might as well let me go to France."

    Yang Qiu nodded. The Sunrise Project was planned by him, so he had to stay in the country to take charge. Wu Tingfang was basically in a semi-retired state after returning from Russia, so Tang Shaoyi was the best choice.  He glanced at Yang Du and said, "Xizi and Gu Weijun, let's go together." Yang Du was very happy to hear this. He had been assisting in handling the internal party affairs of the National Society before, and his status was somewhat similar to that of a staff member. It was not embarrassing, but this time  Tang Shaoyi's visit meant that he had entered the core political circle of the Republic of China, so he nodded quickly to express that he would live up to his trust.

    After deciding that Tang Shaoyi would go to Europe to bargain, Yang Qiu continued: "Immediately send a telegram to the Northeast Theater. Ask Zhang Zuolin to lead two divisions to move to Fujinkou. Jiang Zuobin goes to Hailar. Tell Cai Jimin to strengthen the alert intensity along the Yalu and Tumen Rivers.  Then send someone to find Zhang Zongchang and keep an eye on the Japanese troops stationed in Korea. Report any changes immediately! The Ministry of Foreign Affairs must mobilize all the troops and contact Britain, France and the United States to inform them of the tense situation on the Eastern Front. The safety of our troops must be ensured! Telegram to Shi Xiaolou and  Li Liejun. From now on, their job is to ensure the safety of the troops. As long as this is met, all necessary measures can be taken! Then send a telegram to Lu Zhengxiang, and be sure to fully cooperate with Britain, France and the United States in active diplomacy. In addition, let him use all means to contact local overseas Chinese to send a message to Ural  Transfer and be ready to sever diplomatic relations and withdraw the embassy at any time.¡±

    ¡°Broken off diplomatic relations?!¡±

    Amid everyone¡¯s shock, the political circles in St. Petersburg were also completely thrown into chaos.  Even though they knew that the relationship between the Poor Party and the Russian Provisional Government was tense, diplomats including the British Ambassador Lord Carroll did not expect that they would eventually resort to armed seizure of power.  As a result, the diplomatic convoys flying the flags of the Allied countries began to shuttle back and forth. Naturally, Lu Zhengxiang could not lag behind others at this time.  What's more, compared to the dry British and French, China also has a "big army" in Russia, so it has a much stronger say.

    The joint convoy of the Entente Ambassadors quickly arrived in front of the Winter Palace.  Lu Zhengxiang and the ambassadors soon met the high-spirited Lenin in the living room on the second floor.

    As the ambassador of the most powerful country in the world.  Lord Carroll is undoubtedly the leader of everyone, after his elegant salute.  But he placed the "Russian Re-entry Agreement" reached by Yang Qiu and the Russian Provisional Government on the coffee table, and asked mercilessly in front of reporters: "Your Excellency Vladimir, we do not want to interfere with your internal affairs.  thing, but as allies, we need to determine whether this agreement is still valid!¡±

    The ambassadors of the United States and France beside him were equally serious.  The former has just joined the war, and millions of troops are still being transported to the Western Front. Naturally, they do not want to end up with a complete defeat.  And the latter even wanted to bite Lenin to death!  The Western Front is on the French mainland. If Russia withdraws, millions of German and Austrian troops will continue to pour in.  More seriously!  France has always been Russia's largest recipient of investments and benefits. If the Poor Party finally fails to recognize this agreement and withdraws from the war, tens of billions of francs will be wasted.

    Lenin didn¡¯t know how great the pressure was, because these people in front of him represent the power of half the world!  Especially when there are still 100,000 Chinese expeditionary forces in Ukraine and the Urals, the new regime will be annihilated if there is even the slightest mistake.  But he couldn't show weakness on this issue. People supported him because he promised to end the war and give everyone bread.  Therefore, it must be delayed until it has a firm footing: "I can't decide these. The All-Russian Congress of Workers' and Soldiers' Congress has decided to hold a new election as soon as possible. We must wait until the election is over and the new government will decide this issue."

    He thinks very simply. As long as he wins the election, he can use the excuse that the new government has just been formed to delay it for about half a year. With half a year of hard work, he will be able to gain a firm foothold and not be afraid of any external forces.  But Carroll refused to budge: "So when will there be a general election?"

    ¡°The general election will begin in three days.¡±

    ¡°We demand the right to supervise the election!¡±

    "We will not hide the results."

    ¡°¡­¡­.¡±

    Lords Carroll pressed forward step by step, Lenin also confronted each other, and reporters from the United States and Russia nearby recorded this brief confrontation with pens.  ButThe delicate Lu Zhengxiang could still see the oil oozing from his forehead.  When everyone's discussion about the general election was about to end, he stood up and looked around with solemn eyes: "Your Excellency Lenin, I have only one last question! If you fail after the election, what is your position?"

    The ambassadors raised their heads one after another, and the sensitive reporters pricked up their ears and turned to Lenin. The latter was slightly stunned, and quickly stood up: "Even if we fail in the election, we will obey the people's choice."

    "Very well, please remember your promise."

    As the sound fell, the air in St. Petersburg instantly solidified.  All eyes are on the general election starting in three days.  After being elected, will the Poor Party withdraw from the war as stated in their manifesto, or will they take another path?  Yang Qiu, who has already boarded the train to Fengtian, is waiting!  All Russia is waiting!  Britain and France are waiting!  America is waiting too!  The whole world is staring wide-eyed, waiting for the results of this election that may affect the future of the world!
