Tower of Babel

After taking over the city of St. Petersburg, Mao Xiong immediately telegraphed the whole country through wired and wireless telegraphs. On the grounds that the government continued to participate in the war regardless of the life and death of the people in February, he announced the dissolution of the government. The Military Revolutionary Committee temporarily took over St. Petersburg and established a provisional caretaker government. New elections will be held in February. Stabilized all the forces that were about to move.

After the battle in St. Petersburg came to an end, Mao Xiong held a phased summary meeting. Zhang Cheng was invited to participate in this meeting. Leaders from all parties rushed to the Winter Palace from all directions. Zhang Cheng walked into the golden palace with high spirits. Admire the splendor of the Russian court. Just treat it all as touristy. After entering the auditorium, I spent the entire process either wandering around or watching short videos. It wasn't until Trotsky spoke that Zhang Cheng came back to his senses, because Trotskyists were very famous, and it was still fresh in people's minds when studying party history.

"Davaris! Now that we have seized power and have sufficient weapons and food, we should immediately recruit troops to carry the revolution to the end and defeat the Germans! There is no need to make major concessions in order to withdraw from the war. We should get the war dividends and face the post-war world as a winner.···"

Trotsky has said it very euphemistically, which means that we cannot compromise and surrender to the Germans. People can change, and Zhang Cheng's aid soon caused some people to change their stance. No one wanted to lose the war, and no one was willing to sign an unequal treaty that would humiliate the country. The Allies' promises were very generous, and in the past, their strength simply did not allow it. With weapons and food, the Russians have never been cowards. It is definitely not the Russian character to swallow one's anger.

After Trotsky finished his speech, there was a warm round of applause immediately. Vladimir took the microphone, cleared his throat and said:

I don't agree with Trotsky's views. No one thinks that the Germans can win this war. It is precisely because the Mensheviks saw this that they insisted on the war. I just don’t want to give up the dividends of the war, but comrades, don’t be so naive! So what if we defeated the Germans? In this world, strength always speaks.

Russia has collapsed and has collapsed into pieces. Now many places and armed forces are only nominally Russian. Our top priority is to pick up the old mountains and rivers again. Time does not wait! Instead of sending your last strength to serve as cannon fodder for others. Even if we persist until the end, we will become beggars. Do you think the Entente will fulfill its promise? Strength is the guarantee for fulfilling promises. No one will pity the weak?

What's even scarier is France. At first Napoleon almost unified Europe, but in the end it fell into the hands of us Russians. A century of national destiny was destroyed in one moment. What kind of hatred is this? If France gets a chance, how can it let Russia go? It is very dangerous for any country to be on the verge of collapse!

Davaris, now that we have received assistance from the Northern Galaxy Alliance, the supplies are abundant! But we also have tubes inserted all over our body. Why should we shed our lives and blood for the struggle for hegemony between imperialists? We, the Bolsheviks, are a proletarian party and are naturally the opposite of capitalism. Don’t forget that even after the 20,000 remnant soldiers of the Paris Commune surrendered, they were all executed. This is class antagonism. They have never treated us as human beings. As long as the war is over and they have free hands, they will hang us!

Only compromising with the Germans can buy us more time. We should seize the time to accumulate strength and be prepared to resist armed intervention by foreign powers. As for the unequal treaties, with the defeat of the Germans, they will become a piece of waste paper. This is my opinion.

Joseph said:"But what if it is self-defeating? If you lose your country

, you will become a criminal in history." Vladimir stood up and said:"Comrades, territory has never been a legitimate reason since ancient times. The rise and fall of a country, the change of territory, No nation's territory remains unchanged forever. Everything depends on strength. People must know how to be flexible. Those territories are not ours now. We are generosity to others. What is there to feel bad about? We have to eat our food one bite at a time. , things must be done step by step. Everything must be down-to-earth, and we must not aim too high before the great cause is accomplished. When we have strength, it is not ours, but also ours. When the time comes, we will also liberate the whole world! General Luo Qiyan, what do you think? ?"

Zhang Cheng put down his mobile phone and smiled and said:"I have no objection. Vladimir's decision is my decision. What I can do for you right now is to provide arms and food. I will provide it within a month. Two thousand tanks, five thousand trucks, 2,500 all-terrain vehicles and 5,500 snowmobiles. 100 million tons of food, 6 billion rounds of bullets. If you can achieve local stability, I can immediately Assistance with machinery and equipment to help you resume production and construction."

100 million tons of grain! Enough to feed the whole of Russia for a year! As soon as he finished speaking, people were talking about it. Some said,"Now we don't have to collect food!" Others said,"This time! We don't have to worry about food for making vodka!"

Malenkov said loudly:"If there are really 100 million tons of grain, I suggest exempting next year's grain tax, so that farmers will support us more."

Vladimir said:"No! You are wrong, the tax burden is a symbol of rule, food must be fought for, if we don't fight for food, the enemy can More food has been collected. Now there are so many rebels across the country. As long as there is food, they will exist for a long time. Food collection is not only a tax burden but also a weapon. Of course, now that there is sufficient supply of materials, we can use some that have little military significance. To replace the food in the hands of farmers, such as porcelain, glass, and cloth. Now that we have aid, we don’t have to worry about agricultural production for the time being! We not only need to requisition food, but also people. Without people, the rebels will have no soldiers.. There are only so many people and food. If we take more, the enemy will take less. Comrades, strike first to gain strength, but to strike later will suffer disaster!"

Vladimir was so scheming that he led the revolution to seize every opportunity, and no one was dissatisfied. In this regard, although the Soviet system he established laid certain hidden dangers for the disintegration of later generations, it is unfair to blame him entirely, because the theory at that time was the theory of world revolution, and the Soviets were an open system, not a closed system. In theory, after the victory of the revolution, China and Eastern Europe could join this system and unite to form a stronger Soviet Union. But later generations often deviate from the assumptions of their predecessors. Is it all the fault of their predecessors if they do something bad? Don’t successors have any responsibility?

Zhang Cheng agreed with Vladimir's point of view and nodded. Now it’s time to seize the time and clean up the mess. Instead of being cannon fodder for others. The meeting also discussed the matter of moving the capital. During the time of Peter the Great, the capital was moved from Moscow to the seaside city of St. Petersburg. But now Russia does not have a strong navy at all, and it is impossible to build a warship and a navy in a short time. The time of a starship is about the same. It would be too costly to directly assist the warship. Buying a second-hand one, staffing, logistics and maintenance are not something that can be solved in a short time. Once imperialism intervenes from the sea, the situation will be very bad! It was imperative to move the capital back to Moscow.
