    St. Petersburg, the morning light is bright.

    Before the sun rose, three Austin armored vehicles were waiting at the entrance of the Winter Palace.

    In the carriage, Qin Jian wiped his pistol very seriously.  This is a German-made Mauser pistol. I chose this kind of gun, which is very rare in Russia, just because the domestic Hanyang factory also copied this kind of gun.  Unknowingly, he has been lurking in this country for four years. Time has made many memories blurry. He only knows that his current name is Mir Ivan, a Tatar who lived in Heilongjiang and accidentally joined the Poor Party. His identity is  He is the political commissar of the Red Guards.

    So after returning from Ukraine, he became a loyal soldier of the Poor Party, and like all the members of the Poor Party, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to the constitutional election initiated by them.  But when a month's work finally came to an end, when the eyes of all Russia and even the world were focused on today, he realized that he was actually looking forward to today.

    Of course he didn¡¯t know that Yang Qiu was also looking forward to this day.  Just last night, tens of thousands of soldiers had quickly taken over half of Siberia in the guise of the second batch of the Eastern Front Expeditionary Force to aid Russia. They once again used their "foresight" vision to deploy a decisive move against the north, and were waiting for this moment today.  arrival.  In fact even the telegraph room had no idea what was going on there.  Because there is only one railway to Siberia, and all wired telegraph lines are erected along the railway line. As long as the two ends are cut off, the vast world in the middle will become deaf and blind. However, the radio that can be independent of terrain anytime and anywhere is because of the Tsar.  Despite the lack of attention of the times, only the navy and a few departments have it.  In this era of inefficient radio waves, the probability of a telegram from Vladivostok being received in St. Petersburg on the far side of the world is less than winning a lottery.

    After polishing each bullet until it was discernible, he stuffed them into the magazine with force. When ten 7.63 bullets overlapped tightly and closed the bolt, Lenin, Stalin and others had already appeared on the steps.  .  With sharp eyes, he noticed that the eyes of several people were red and bloodshot, and their faces were so gloomy that they could almost drip water.  After they got into the car, Qin Jian waved to the escort to set off.  Then he sat in the passenger seat.

    This is an armored vehicle specially equipped for Politburo members such as Lenin and Stalin. It can accommodate six seats after removing excess parts.  At this moment, in addition to Stalin and Lenin, Trotsky and Zinoviev also got into the carriage.  This was extremely unusual, considering they had to be divided into three cars!  What was it that made them gather together to discuss it even before they were on their way?

    Qin Jian immediately pricked up his ears.

    Trotsky and everyone else did not notice Qin Jian in the passenger seat, but even if they knew, they had no scruples, because now it is the life and death moment of the poor party!  So he straightened up and looked at Lenin with deep and sharp eyes.  The greatest hero of the October Revolution was very dissatisfied with Lenin's previous policies.  In his opinion, the constitutional election was a complete mistake, and the situation of the general elections in various places has confirmed his idea. He said: "Comrade Kamenev has received definite information. Today they will launch an attack in the Duma to force us to step down.  Then reach a new agreement with Britain and France! So I think decisive measures should be taken immediately. Stop announcing the election results!  Now that the United States has entered the war, millions of US troops are rushing to the Western Front, the strength of Britain, France and Germany  Changes have occurred, and I think we should immediately unilaterally cease the war, restore the military, and continue to delay without war or peace.¡±

    "I agree with Comrade Trotsky. Power must not be handed over to those imperialist lackeys! They will lead Russia into the abyss." Although Zinoviev was criticized by Lenin for leaking the plan for the October Revolution, in this life-and-death situation,  It's time to get back from Ukraine.  But he did not agree with Trotsky's principle of no peace and no war, saying: "But I do not agree with maintaining the attitude of no war, no peace. Because our opponents will also adopt this strategy, we should maintain the party's independence,  An armistice agreement should be reached with the Germans immediately. The people have suffered a lot, and it is time to end it! As long as we can reach an armistice agreement with Germany, we can immediately disband and rehabilitate the army, and rely on the power of soldiers to influence and change rural areas."

    "No! You can't take the initiative to pray for Germany. That will make the Germans think that we are asking for help from them." Trotsky objected.

    Zinoviev argued: "But the soldiers have no intention of continuing to fight. We have also promised them that we will give them a truce and bread. If we cannot reach a contract immediately, how can we convince them to continue to support us?"

    The words of the two people made Lenin regretful, as if a terrible poisonous snake had wormed its way into his heart.  Because he was too optimistic about the strength of the combination of all-Russian engineers and soldiers.  Ignoring the majority of peasants and landlords (after Tolypin, Russian peasants were considered to be the property-owning class), the plan to justly come to power through elections and completely block the mouths of Britain, France and other countries was completely shattered!  What's even more wrong is that he also publicly announced in front of the All-Russian Workers' and Soldiers' Council and the Winter PalaceHe announced that he would accept the "people's choice" and solemnly promised in front of ambassadors and reporters from various countries that he would withdraw from the government after losing the election!  Seeing that the ideal of proletarian governance is right in front of us, our hands and feet are tied up by the big stone that we have thrown down!  what can we do about it?  Declaring non-recognition due to vote-buying and unfair voting?  joke!  This was a self-organized election, and the Socialist Party had no involvement from the beginning to the end.  So after his eyes wandered around the crowd for a few times, they slowly landed on Stalin, who was silent.

    "Comrade Stalin, what do you think?"

    This sentence focused everyone¡¯s attention on Stalin, who had rarely spoken since last night.  In fact, it's not that Stalin didn't want to say it, but he knew that he was not as good as Trotsky in terms of eloquence and not as good as Zinoviev in terms of talent. Besides, he didn't like this roundabout political method, so he never expressed his stance.  But now he had to answer Lenin's question. After organizing some words in his head, he said: "Comrade Lenin, I think we worry too much! There is absolutely no need for us to run against those imperialists, landlords and bourgeoisie. Trust us."  Comrade Lossky and Comrade Zinoviev have made it very clear that I think the ballot box should be changed by force immediately!"

    ¡°Changing the ballot box by force?!¡±

    Lenin¡¯s eyes flashed, and he asked: ¡°But I have¡±

    "There is no need to be trustworthy with those imperialists!" Since coming to St. Petersburg, Stalin felt that he had stepped into a swamp and could not use all his strength. Only at this moment did he finally find the grace of the Caucasus. He said rudely: "We already have  With 20,000 Red Guards, the troops of Frunze and other comrades will be back soon. The soldiers are now on our side, so I think it is time for some people to shut up! The Caucasus Cavalry Division should be released immediately  Open a line of defense. Let Germany contain the Chinese Communist Party, so that we can ensure that we have sufficient time to defend the regime with arms, and completely shut up those capitalists and landlords. As long as we can reach an agreement with Germany, we can seek their help and dismantle imperialism.  Minions.¡±

    Stalin breathed a sigh of relief after speaking his thoughts in one breath. He had not been so happy for a long time.  But Trotsky quickly frowned, although he also recommended taking decisive action and not dwelling on the election.  But he strongly disagreed with his plan to exchange the armistice agreement for German support.

    But the most shocked person was Qin Jian. Although he had learned from various channels that the Poor Party was likely to fail in the election, Stalin's words still made him feel a chill running straight to his forehead.  Change the ballot box by force!  We must also implement the plan to release the defense line!  We also need to declare a unilateral ceasefire!  Do they think promises and political credibility are child's play?  What is the difference between this and Yuan Shikai back then?  Are 80,000 comrades ready?

    The more he thought about it, the more afraid he became.  Stalin's voice also came from behind: "Comrade Mir, you immediately mobilize the Red Guards and take them to Duma Square." Qin Jian did not dare to delay, nodded, opened the door and ran towards the Red Guards station.

    Just when Lenin and his party rushed to Duma.  Lu Zhengxiang is also making final preparations.  Everyone has been waiting for today for a full month. The eyes of both warring parties around the world are on St. Petersburg.  Therefore, as the ambassador of the Entente and backed by a hundred thousand troops in Russia, he got up early to prepare carefully. Mrs. Pede also ironed her husband's dress early to prepare for attending the meeting to announce the results of the Russian Duma election.

    Lu Zhengxiang is looking at the latest information sent by the British and French ambassadors last night. Since the Chinese Expeditionary Force is in Ukraine and the Urals at the moment, his status is much higher. At this moment when the entire Entente forces are required to cooperate, Britain and France can control it.  Data sharing.  This is enough to show how much they need China's voice on the Russian matter.  Compared with the information he himself had, the data from Britain and France were much more detailed, which even made people wonder whether they had penetrated into the top leadership of the Poor Party.  But considering that people have been here for hundreds of years, and even the royal family is related, it is not surprising.

    In fact, whether it is British and French information or his investigation, the results are already self-evident.  It was obviously impossible for the Poor Party led by Lenin to obtain half of the seats stipulated in the provisional constitution because they ignored the demands of the vast Russian peasant class.  Since the Tolypin era, Russia's land policy has quietly changed, and a large number of landless people have obtained land.  But this subtle change was apparently ignored by the Poor Party.  Can't blame them.  In fact, they are as completely out of touch with national tradition and reality as the Democratic Party was a few years ago.  It is too idealistic to think that we can copy the experience of foreign countries or decades ago.  You must know that Russia only had 3 million workers in its heyday, and the number of soldiers supporting them was only about 10 million at most.  But even counting only Belarus, Ukraine, the Baltic Sea coast and the rich surrounding areas of St. Petersburg, there are more than 50 million capitalists, industrial and mining factory owners, landlords and farmers who support the left-wing Socialist Party.

    Mrs. Peide has also read this information.  This month has been a torment for her. Although she is already a Chinese daughter-in-law, she understands very wellIf the poor party comes to power and immediately withdraws from the war as they say, the people of their homeland will have to suffer for a longer time.  Now that the dust has finally settled, she was very happy and asked: "Zixin, has the Socialist Party agreed to the conditions?"

    "Agreed!" How could Lu Zhengxiang not know what his wife was thinking, so he comforted: "The Socialist Party has promised to adopt a deterrent posture against Germany. Even if they do not want to fight, as long as they do not disband their troops, Germany will not be able to send a single soldier to the Western Front.  ! Madam, don¡¯t worry, two million US troops have arrived in France, our strength is more than three times greater than Germany¡¯s, and the end is in sight.¡±

    Mrs. Peide finished ironing her clothes. Thinking that her motherland was about to bid farewell to the enemy's invasion, she was so happy that she kissed her husband like a child.  The sudden attack made Lu Zhengxiang laugh. Before he could say a few words of teasing, a knock on the door interrupted the couple's whispers.  After the door opened, the two of them were slightly stunned!  I saw Chen Shijie carrying a thick vest, and the hunter team behind Yang Qiu who had specially photographed to protect the two of them was actually fully armed, looking like a powerful enemy.

    "Shijie, what are you doing"

    "My lord, madam. I will not hide this from you until now. Shijie joined the National Security Agency four years ago." After Chen Shijie revealed his trump card, Lu Zhengxiang and his wife were not too surprised.  Because they had long discovered that there was something different about this Chinese orphan who almost died on the streets of Russia in the past, but they were very puzzled by the current posture of this powerful enemy.  After putting on the uncomfortable vest with steel plates sandwiched between it, he asked, "What happened?"

    After Chen Shijie put on the bulletproof vest for him, he checked it carefully before replying: "Sir, madam. We have received accurate information that the Poor Party has withdrawn troops loyal to them from the front line. So  This is for your safety.¡±

    "What! Did they bring back the frontline troops?" Lu Zhengxiang's face suddenly became extremely ugly. When his eyes turned to Mrs. Peide, she also covered her mouth in surprise, and a haze suddenly enveloped her charming eyes.  How could this be?  How could they do this!  For power.  They were actually prepared to openly betray their promises!  Betrayal of a promise made to the entire world!

    Just like Mrs. Pedder's charming eyes, the briefly clear sky in St. Petersburg was once again shrouded in thick snow clouds, but this did not dampen people's enthusiasm. Tens of thousands of citizens and demobilized soldiers flocked to Duma Square, hoping to see it in person  Witness the moment the election results are announced.  The Duma building was also very lively, and the Socialist MPs even high-fived each other to celebrate their victory.  And those MPs from the poor party who just a few days ago were arrogant and acted like they were the ruling party have become dejected.  As for other small parties, they have also begun to sit down and choose new collaborators.

    Lord Carroll and others also arrived at the venue early, but they also obviously got the news that the Poor Party had begun to withdraw troops. Everyone's face was worried, and they began to think about how to stop the failed Poor Party from jumping over the wall.  .

    The arrival of Lenin, Trotsky and others immediately silenced the venue, but their sadistic expressions made many people laugh secretly.  The old speaker of the Socialist Party obviously wanted to add fuel to the fire and knocked the hammer hard: "We have finally waited for this day. The Russian people have made their choice! Now let us listen to the vote counting results  .¡±

    With his voice, the staff began to read out the statistical results. When the figures of 175 seats for the Poor Party and 410 seats for the Socialist Party, which exceeded half, appeared.  The entire Duma building applauded.  The applause also affected the outside, and all the Socialist Party supporters in the square cheered. After 12 years of hard struggle, they finally saw the real constitutional era.  Even the deafening cheers made the ambassadors such as Lu Zhengxiang and Lord Carroll relax a little, thinking that the other party would have some scruples.

    But at this moment, a figure suddenly walked towards the podium!

    Lenin!

    What does he want to do?

    Are you announcing that you will accept the failure, or are you trying to break your promise?  Everyone's breathing became tense.

    Lenin walked slowly, his legs felt like they were filled with lead, but he knew there was no way out at this moment.  Never fail!  He believed that the proletariat must not sit down again after it has stood up.  So he quickly adjusted his breathing.  Standing firmly behind the podium: "Unfortunately, I think this election was conducted according to the law of the former provisional government. And this law is now outdated, so the All-Russian Workers' and Soldiers' Committee believes that the results of this election are invalid!"

    "What!"

    "What!"

    "What!"

    Such a sound erupted from almost every mouth. Even Lu Zhengxiang and others who had already expected that the Poor Party might jump over the wall exclaimed in surprise!  The law is invalid?  Then why didn't you say it before, but waited until the unfavorable results came out to say it was invalid?  !  Isn¡¯t this playing tricks on people?  Anger, instantaneous? This absurd excuse inspired the MPs who just now imagined that all rights belonged to the Duma and that the left-wing Socialist Party formed a government and formed a government, burst into loud boos. Many people even stood up and tried to rush to the podium to catch Lenin to explain clearly.  But the ruthless iron hoof broke all illusions. Large numbers of Red Guard militants appeared in the building. The cold muzzles of the guns made everyone like ducks strangled by the neck and could no longer make any sound.

    The cheers in the square were also replaced by screams and curses. Jacob, armed with a rifle, pointed at the unarmed Socialist Party supporters with his companions.  His hands were shaking because many of the people inside were his colleagues and partners from the previous factory.  But when a stone flew towards him, he still pulled the trigger. From this moment on, the dense gunshots not only did not disappear from Russia, which longed for peace, but continued to ring for many years.

    On December 25, 1917, the day the results of the all-Russian general election came out, the Poor Party declared the election invalid on the ridiculous excuse that the law had expired!

    At the same time, it was announced that the work of the Duma was suspended!

    Announcing the ban on all gatherings!

    Announcing a curfew in St. Petersburg!

    Announcing a 100-day unilateral ceasefire and launching armistice negotiations with Germany!  !

    On January 9, 1905, the Tsar and Trepov shot workers who called for a Constituent Assembly.  After 12 years of hard struggle, when the Constituent Assembly was truly elected by the people, the workers of St. Petersburg were once again shot to death by people who claimed to be representatives of the working class because of the Constituent Assembly!  Citizens were deprived of their right to express their opinions, flags were torn down, and rifles dispersed the dreams for which the best of Russia had fought for nearly a century.

    That day, Russia and even the whole world suffered an unforgettable betrayal!  The American journalist John Reed who was present recorded the entire incident and also recorded the last words left by Lord Carroll on behalf of the Allied countries.

    "We will not tolerate betrayal! Anyone who betrays will be hanged!"

    PS: First of all, I want to apologize. When I was taking a break in the middle of typing last night, I didn¡¯t want to fall asleep on the sofa.  Secondly, Hema didn't write the section "Betrayal" well. It should be said that it was very bad. Last night, I fell asleep because I couldn't write and wanted to re-imagine it, so I decided to finish this small section quickly. After all, this is not the story of the New Republic of China.  Things, let's just rob and make a buck and go home and hug our wives to warm the bed.
