Part 6 Chapter 28 The key is still at sea

Something beyond Chen Congyun's expectations happened. The Mensheviks relied on the changing historical process with the public opinion tools they had in their hands to restore the scene of real history again. At the Soviet Congress, although Lenin and Trosky resolutely resisted the Bolshevik Party and the bourgeois representatives, most Soviet representatives voted for the bourgeoisie represented by the Mensheviks, as they did in history.

Such a result made Chen Congyun somewhat dumbfounded after receiving the news. After sitting alone in the study room for a whole afternoon, Chen Congyun seemed to have figured out a truth. History will not undergo a fundamental change at least before the end of World War I. The only thing that really changes is Chinese history, the entire world history pattern, and many essential things will not change much.

After thinking clearly, Chen Congyun immediately made a bold assumption that under the premise that the Chinese army sent troops to Novosibirsk, will the Mensheviks continue to uphold the agreement between the Tsarist Russian government and the Allies? This historical event should not happen again. Without this historical event, the October Revolution in Russia would not appear in the future, or in advance. The most important point is that if the Mensheviks did not continue to fight like in history, they are still very weak, and they are the minority Bolshevik Party. If there is no foreign aid on the road to seizing power, it will be very difficult.

This assumption immediately made Chen Congyun feel alert and immediately drafted a telegram for Lenin. In the telegram, Chen Congyun said, "The Russian Revolution has reached a critical turning point. The Mensheviks who stole the regime will likely drop the troops loyal to them from the front line, and then declare that the Bolsheviks and the Soviet regime are illegal."

Chen Congyun did not say what to do directly, but neither Lenin nor Trosky were simple characters, and they responded quickly. The Soviet regime will actively prepare for armed self-defense, hoping to receive assistance from the Chinese government.

Chen Congyun's concern soon became a sign that the Mensheviks did not even wait for the frontline troops to return and could not wait to announce that the Bolshevik Party was the main factor in the uncertainty of Russia. The Provisional Government used its own public opinion tools to start attacking the Bolshevik Party, calling them "thugs".

This change was immediately used by Lenin and Trosky and widely publicized among the workers. The Provisional Government was about to follow the old path of Tsarist Russia and was about to raise the butcher knife to suppress the revolution.

In early March, the Provisional Government declared the Bolsheviks an illegal party, announced the abolition of the Soviet regime, and established a joint Provisional Government headed by Kerensky. A bloody suppression began, and the first place to raise the butcher knife was Petrograd. Kerensky colluded with the Russian Supreme Commander-in-Chief Kornilov and sent trusted troops to surround Petrograd.

History did not repeat itself at this moment. Lenin and the Bolshevik Party, who were prepared, took the lead in launching an armed uprising in Petrograd.

The uprising began at 3 a.m. on March 3, and within one day, the provisional government cleared its power in Petrograd, and announced the establishment of the Bolshevik regime in Petrograd. Immediately afterward, the Soviet regime announced the unilateral termination of cooperation with the Allies and called on the frontline soldiers not to work hard for the interests of imperialism. Then, the armed workers successfully defeated the Russian army that came to suppress the revolution, and the Soviet regime basically stood firm.

Kerensky fled to Moscow overnight and declared in the name of the Provisional Government that the Soviet regime in Petrograd was illegal, and gathered a large number of Russian troops retreating from the front to prepare for a new round of attack on Petrograd.

At this time, the Chinese government responded positively to the armistice announcement issued by the Soviet regime. Chen Congyun personally attended the press conference and announced that the Chinese government recognized the Russian Soviet regime as the only legal regime and would send troops to Russia to help the Soviet regime eliminate the provisional government that attempted to continue to tie itself to the Allied chariot.

With the Chinese government's leadership, Germany, Austro-Hungarian Empire, Bulgaria and Turkey successively recognized the legitimacy of the Soviet regime. Naturally, the Allies refused to recognize the Soviet regime. The US government remained silent on this. On March 20, in order to eliminate the Soviet government before the winter passed, in order to eliminate the Soviet government before the Chinese army sent large-scale troops, the Provisional Government gathered hundreds of thousands of troops back from the front and launched an attack on Petrograd. At the same time, a large-scale civil war broke out in front of Russia!

On the third day after coming to the army, Chen Liyao's identity changed completely. He hung a bar and a star on his shoulder, becoming a second lieutenant in the First Division of the Garrison, and stayed in the division headquarters.

This change made Chen Liyao a little uncomfortable. Although he had excellent grades, when looking at the envious eyes of the students around him and the rank of sergeant on his shoulders, Chen Liyao felt that there was something tricky about it. Chen Liyao had no choice but to doubt how could he be the only captain? Moreover, all the other students were out of the army, so he stayed in the division headquarters.

The tricks in this are naturally to fall on the two guys Yang Zhi and Shen Yiyang. Yang Zhi had just obtained 56 new non-commissioned officers. While enjoying the massage service of Japanese concubines at home, while thinking about how to use these new non-commissioned officers, Chen Yiyang rushed in from outside without even knocking on the door.

"I said Chen Yiyang, fortunately I didn't do anything, otherwise I would have been scared by you and impotence? What happened so urgently?" Yang Zhi was not angry either, but just smiled and waved his hand to let the Japanese concubine go out.

The blue veins on Chen Yiyang's brows were exposed. Looking at Yang Zhi's comfortable look, he raised his foot and kicked him, "You fool, why did you make such a big trouble for us? Don't you know that we are probably the first troops to go to the front line?"

The agile Yang Zhi slammed down from the recliner. After avoiding Chen Yiyang's attack, he smiled confusedly: "Brother Jiangong, please make your words clear, why bother to touch me? I can tell you that you are no match for the other three."

Chen Yiyang sneered in a sneer: "You still laugh? Do you know? Among the new batch of non-commissioned officers, is the prince?"

Yang Zhi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "How is it possible? How could the prince be out of the army?" As he said that, Yang Zhi's face tightened, he leaned forward and asked nervously, "Don't scare me, I have to take it seriously."

Chen Yiyang threw the list in his hand into Yang Zhi's face and said, "Look at it yourself, the fourth name in the third line, Chen Liyao!"

After seeing the list, Yang Zhi sat on the floor. After quickly standing up from the floor, Yang Zhi's face suddenly turned red and said, "The spicy one next door, Liu San is so unauthentic. I have invited him to drink not so many times. Why didn't I tell me this important news when I was in the military district yesterday?"

"Come on, Liu San is just a little adviser in the military region. Can he know this? If I hadn't been more careful and took the list and looked at it, I felt that it wouldn't be so coincidental, and a person with the same name and surname came out and asked the instructor who accompanied the team privately, I wouldn't believe it." Chen Yiyang muttered unhappily, with a headache on his face.

"My mother, I'm so troublesome now. The instructor with the team is from the Military Control Commission, right?" Yang Zhi thought of this and Chen Yiyang nodded silently.

"Okay, don't get angry. I'm also inadvertent. Who knew that the prince had quietly arrived at the army? The military commander of the dog days did not say hello in advance. The instructor is here to protect the prince, right?,, next door to the spicy one, Zhao Xinglong is good at being a human being." Yang Zhi sighed helplessly, and then handed Chen Yiyang a cigarette to the frown Chen Yiyang and said, "My man, you have many ideas, tell me what should we do?"

"What should I do? According to the current situation, we will have to fall forward in less than half a month. The rumor I just heard from an old classmate in the military region, we and the First Independent Cavalry Division are the vanguards who are pressing against Moscow. You kid have brought the prince back and really went to the battlefield. We know the prince, but the old man doesn't know the bullets. If something happens, you can't afford it, and you are also ashamed of the president's trust."

Yang Zhi didn't look rough, he actually had a lot of thoughts. He turned his eyes forward and smiled, "How about you think this is OK,..."

Chen Liyao came to the army to go to the battlefield. Since entering the military academy, Chen Liyao has always used his father as an example to motivate himself to study hard. The deeds of his father as a scholar on the Vietnam battlefield back then were the scene that Chen Liyao yearned for the most. Now he is actually left as a staff officer in the division headquarters, so Chen Liyao naturally cannot agree.

Chen Liyao decided to ask the division leader to go out of the army. When he came to the division commander's office, he was turned away and stopped by the guards. Chen Liyao immediately understood that this matter was inseparable from the division commander, and probably one of them was the chief of staff and political commissar Chen Yiyang. So Chen Liyao ran to the division chief of staff office, but was turned away again and stopped by the guards again.

It is obvious that these two guys decided to hide first, and when the fait accompli is right, they will probably not change much when they see Chen Liyao again.

After Chen Liyao was helpless, he thought for a while and thought of a solution. He thought to himself that you can't always hide in the office and don't come out, right?

Yang Zhi and Shen Yiyang sent the guards out to take a closer look and found that Chen Liyao was indeed gone. Then they smiled and joined forces with each other. Yang Zhi even smiled proudly and said, "Hehe, don't be the prince, you have to listen to us when you reach our acre of three-point land."

Chen Yiyang responded bluntly: "Forget it! Don't pretend to be fat. If you have the ability, don't hide."

Yang Zhi smiled and said, "Hehe, that's right, that's right, the prince. Can't afford to offend him?"

Before the two of them were happy, a young officer jumped out from behind the flower bed on the side of the road, stood in the middle of the road, bowed to the two and blocked the way: "Chen Liyao has said hello to Uncle Yang, Uncle Chen."

Yang Zhi and Shen Yiyang, known as the "Erhunha Generals" of the garrison troops, immediately turned into bitter faces.

"What? Do the two uncles don't know me anymore? My mother said that Uncle Chen hugged me when he was a child." Chen Liyao said with a naive look on his face and smiled.

"Haha, Brother Jiangong, you came out of the attendant's room, you will be responsible for the reception. I have something to do, so I'll leave first." Yang Zhi slipped away without any mercy, leaving Chen Yiyang with helpless look on his face, so he had to take Chen Liyao home.

The two of them had a lawsuit for three hours. Chen Yiyang refused to let go, but he refused to agree to Chen Liyao's withdrawal from the army. Finally, when Chen Liyao saw the phone at home, he couldn't help but smile and walked forward and said, "Uncle Chen, please lend your phone to use it."

Chen Yiyang, who had a big head, didn't react a little and nodded subconsciously. Chen Liyao picked up the phone and shook it, and then said to the switchboard: "Hello, please pick up the long distance, the number is 10001."

Thanks to this being the switchboard of the First Garrison Division, I had also switched the phone calls from Chen Yiyang and Yang Zhi to Chen Congyun before, otherwise the switchboard would not have the courage to turn to Beijing.

Chen Congyun was looking at the documents in the study room. When he heard the phone ringing, he picked it up naturally. When he heard a young and familiar voice coming from it, he was stunned at first, and then his eyes became wet.

"Yeah, I understand. You ask Chen Yiyang to answer the phone."

Chen Yiyang, who was on the phone, was completely stupid. He didn't know that Chen Liyao was so good at playing so well. He hung up the phone in Chen Congyun's study, and had no choice but to come and borrow the phone.

"Chen Yiyang, since Yao'er has been sent to the army, don't be special. Otherwise, what's the point of getting out of the army? He is still young and can become a qualified soldier without being baptized on the battlefield? Don't make a quibble, arrange for him to go out of the army."

Chen Congyun, who put down the phone, felt uncomfortable, but Chen Liyao was so old that he took the initiative to make a request for the first time. Although this request was accompanied by the risk of life, Chen Congyun could not refuse.

From the deepest part of my heart, Chen Congyun did not have the mentality of hoping that his children would become successful like ordinary parents. Chen Congyun even hoped that Chen Liyao was a mediocre person and hoped that Chen Liyao could be an ordinary person like most children from ordinary families.

Slowly coming to Zi Yu's yard, Chen Congyun told Zi Yu about talking on the phone with Shen Liyao. Zi Yu seemed calm as usual, without any dissatisfaction or objection.

"Master, do you find it strange? Why don't I object to Yao'er's arrival in the army?"

Chen Congyun nodded and agreed to his agreement. From the perspective of Chen Congyun, he did not object to Chen Liyao's troops. The large component has a meaning to show it to the bottom. Zi Yu is different. She is the mother.

"Because I know that it is useless to object. Yaoer has been using you as an example since she was a child. Maybe you didn't notice that this child deliberately imitated you in private. Especially when he was thinking about problems, his mouth slightly raised upwards looked like you were carved from the same mold."

In the middle of the night, an emergency assembly call rang out. The soldiers who were sleeping on the neatly marching bed in the dormitory quickly rushed out of the warm bed as if they were loaded with springs.

Chen Liyao skillfully put on his backpack and put on the Huaxia Type 1 submachine gun. In just five minutes, Chen Liyao rushed to the playground.

An hour later, the first garrison division was fully equipped and headed to the train station. At dawn, the first army was filled with officers and soldiers and equipment, rolling northward.

In a carriage on the galloping army, Chen Liyao leaned against it and did not join the conversation between his comrades, but quietly took out a letter with a female fragrance from his arms. This letter came the day before yesterday, and the person who wrote the letter was naturally Tang Jing.

In the letter, Tang Jing did not express any affection or love. She simply said that after Chen Liyao left, Tang Jing saw Zi Yu and finally copied the sentence in the letter, "Qingqing Zijin, my heart is leisurely." It is already very bold in this era to express my longing with the sentences of the Book of Songs. After all, the two have not been married yet, and they have not even settled a marriage.

Chen Liyao, who was busy getting familiar with the new equipment, had not even had time to reply to Tang Jing, but he had already joined the army and came north.

At this moment, the longing filled Shen Liyao's young heart, and the faint fragrance attached to the letter paper was like a girl being by his side. Chen Liyao had a sweet smile on his face, took out a letter paper from his backpack, and put it on his legs to write a few words for the person he missed, but found that he couldn't start writing thousands of words.

The train went north continuously, and the temperature became colder day by day. On the morning of the sixth day, Chen Liyao, who was sleepy on the carriage, was woken up by a rapid whistle. When he opened his eyes, he saw that the train had stopped. The door of the carriage was torn open with a bang, and a gust of cold wind blew in. Chen Liyao couldn't help but chill.

"Get out, get off, get off, get to the place."

Chen Liyao, the second lieutenant commander, stood up quickly and greeted the three subordinates in the same car and said, "All have gotten up, we're here."

"Sir, where is this?" Chen Liyao heard someone beside him asking the captain who was blowing the whistle.

"Haha, you are from the First Garrison Division? Ace Force, this is Novosibirsk!"

Looking at the scene where the white snow in the distance was still unchanged, Chen Liyao couldn't help but feel excited and said to himself: "It's really Novosibirsk, it seems that he is going to the battlefield."

Before Chen Liyao could think too much, the captain was already shouting: "Come in line quickly, there are still many things."

Chen Liyao shook his head hard, turned around and called his subordinates to line up to report the number.

"Zhang Guangming's movements were very fast. In just 10 days, the First Army had already taken Omsk. The troops were not consumed too much. The Russian army, who was unwilling to fight, retreated to Yekaterin Arbor without much resistance, and also destroyed the Siberian Railway."

In the General Staff’s combat room, Chen Congyun sat in the middle of the seat, quietly listening to the aftershock’s report on the situation ahead.

"The First Army's ammunition is not consumed much, and the food supply is mainly waiting to be supplemented. The engineers are repairing the railway from Novosibirsk to Omsk, and it takes at least three days to continue to advance northward. According to intelligence, the Russian Provisional Government has pieced together 30,000 defenders on the line of Yekaterin Arbor and Chelyabinsk, which is simply vulnerable."

When Chen Congyun heard this, he couldn't help but stand up and took over the conversation: "At present, the Russian Provisional Government has focused its main energy on dealing with the Soviet government of Petrograd. We have almost no decent opponents in the Far East. In fact, our main opponent is not the Russian army, but the harsh transportation environment in Russia."

Deputy Chief of Staff Duan Qirui took over the conversation and said, "We have made full consideration of this issue before the war. Ten thousand engineering troops cooperated with the vanguard troops to advance. At the same time, they also used food as wages to recruit a large number of local residents to participate in the construction of the road. There are also fifty thousand engineers, which have been assembled in Novosibirsk. At the same time, 100,000 workers have been prepared to start construction in Kulun. There should be no problem in building a simple road to Yekaterin Arbor within half a year. But then again, the transportation capacity of cars is limited and the consumption is also high. We should put our hope on the sea."

Chen Congyun sighed slightly at this time: "Yes, Russia is too big, and the hope for fundamental solution to the problem is still on the sea."

At the same time, the British Navy responded quickly to the attacks of China's capture of Singapore and submarine forces, and ordered six battleships stationed in Alexandria, four light cruisers, and twenty destroyers to move south quickly to reinforce the Far East fleet, and to ensure India.

At the same time, the German Navy responded. After receiving the request from Moltke, Xiao’s Moltke, William II ordered the German Ocean Fleet to break out of the high seas at all costs, even if it was completely destroyed, and fight the British main fleet to the death to ensure that the Chinese Navy cut off the British access to supplies from India.
