Chapter 123 Difficult to choose

"There are still three months left!"

Put down the telegram from the ambassador to Russia and press the cigarette butt in the ashtray. Chen Moran's eyebrows are still locked. Rasputin's death is just an event in history.

But this incident marked another thing - the fall of the Russian Empire. As Rasputin predicted, three months later, with the outbreak of the "February Revolution" and the subsequent abdication of Nicholas II, the Russian Empire disappeared from human history. After another half a year, an unprecedented in human history. Some regimes appeared in Russia and influenced the development of world history in the following 70 years.

With his fingers tapping on the table, Chen Moran stood up silently, and then stood by the window, looking at the garden outside the window. His expression became extremely serious. He opened the window and came to his face with a cold wind, only to clear his mind. The mind that had been sleepy because of the heating instantly returned to Qingming.

"The end of one empire means the rise of another empire!"

With this silent words on his lips, Chen Moran knew very well that in history, the collapse of the Russian Empire meant the rise of the Soviet-Russian Empire. From the October Revolution to the later Soviet era, it was an unprecedentedly powerful period in Russian history. Soviet Russia and the later Soviet Union entered the ranks of the world's advanced countries more than a decade later. It has had a great impact on the international stage, and the values and ideology of the Soviet Union are said to be the natural enemies of China.

Unlike other countries, China will have to directly face the influence from Soviet Russia, thousands of kilometers of land bordering and pressure from the north. In the future, China needs to face it, especially the revolutionary output from Soviet Russia. The revolutionary output of Soviet Russia has never been for "liberating all mankind", but for the Soviet Union. Russia's own interests, for its expansion and the existence of its country.

If China can't eliminate Soviet Russia in its bud, then in the next few decades, China will have to bear heavy national defense pressure, always be alert to the strong enemy from the north, be alert to the invasion of the strong enemy on land, the heavy national defense burden and the ensuing "domestic revolution" will hit China hard. It is impossible for a country to become a major power in the world in the first half of the 20th century, and eventually become a power on a par with the United States.

"Stop him!"

Although the decision has already been made in my heart, it is still a difficult decision for Chen Moran to make.

In the next few years, millions or more troops will be put into the Russian battlefield, suppressing the Russian revolution, and rebuilding the Russian empire will make China bear heavy military expenses at the cost of millions of casualties. Perhaps through the marriage of his son, the two empires can be combined. Two for one, but... what about the future?

For the fear of the future, to be precise, it is the disconfidence of the Han nation and the Russian nation, which makes Chen Moran's heart hesitate, but he never dares to show this kind of heart in front of outsiders, because a few months later, after that revolution, he must convince everyone with his will. Convince everyone that it is extremely necessary and in line with China's interests to send troops to Russia!

But is a nation of 500 million people, can it really rule another nation with more than 100 million people? Moreover, the skin colors and customs of the two ethnic groups are different. At this time, Chen Moran's mind appeared again, and the conversation with Guan Mingtang this morning.

"Your Majesty, if you have to consider that if Russia's resistance breaks out, you will face a 30-year guerrilla war."

After the words paused, Guan Mingtang looked at His Majesty and put forward his views.

"In Europe, there has always been a yellow disaster theory. However, once China and Russia merge into one empire, then in the future, in Europe, the yellow disaster theory will be more popular and will be recognized by all countries. Out of hostility to us, countries are likely to support Russia's domestic opposition forces by providing them with Launch a guerrilla war against us by means of weapons, funds, etc. At that time, the whole Russia will become a battlefield against us.

Gerrilla warfare!

Guan Mingtang's words reminded Chen Moran of the Vietnam War and the Afghan War. The former fought against the United States with the support of the whole "Red World" and dragged the United States into the quagmire of war, while the latter dragged the Soviet Union into the quagmire of guerrilla warfare with the support of the United States, which burdened the Soviet economy of war.

"There is no doubt."

After a long silence, Chen Moran just said.

"The British, the French, the Germans, and even Americans in the future may launch a guerrilla war against us in Russia, but this guerrilla war will not be endless, and for us, there seems to be other options. You know, there is no country in the whole world. Like Russia, most of the people are oppressed. The Russian nation accounts for only 43% of the total population, less than half; the rest belongs to other races and have no rights. Of Russia's total population of 170 million, about 100 million people are oppressed and have no rights..."

At this time, Chen Moran couldn't help quoting Umiyanov's words.

"Meng Sen compared Russia to a dustbin, saying that it was barely maintained by the rusty iron hoop of the Tsar's political axe, and after entering Russia, we can give them a lot of power that they had not had in the past..."

When mentioning his own ideas, Chen Muran's mind involuntarily emerged that the oppression of the Soviet Union in history, the Soviet era, especially in the Stalin era, was more serious than that of any Tsar. Ukrainians, Belarusians, Baltics, Cossacks, Caucasians, and many of their ethnic minorities will not forget the horrors brought about by his ten-year collectivization policy (1928-1938). During this decade, about 10 million people were massacred, filled with troops and starved to death. In 1941, among the three small countries of Ukraine, Belarus and the Baltic States alone, 40 million people longed for liberation.

So in order to disintegrate Russia, a huge thing, all any intruder has to do is to enter Russia as a liberator, terminate its collectivization policy, and restore the people's private property system, so that he can not only win the support of ethnic minorities. And it can also disintegrate Stalin's army, because most of them are composed of collectivized peasants.

This is why Stalin was afraid of the German invasion, and Stalin did not believe that the enemy would be stupid enough to "use only the army to fight", but their enemies were indeed so "stupid", so what about China?

Wait until 1941 to solve the problem of Soviet Russia?

Recalling the conversation with Guan Mingtang in the morning, Chen Moran once again picked up a pencil and drew it on a piece of paper:

"1917, the goal was revolutionized, and the resistance was the weakest, but the internal problems of the goal were relatively smoother, and there was no room for goodwill..."

After writing such a series of analyses, Chen Muran thought for a while and continued to write on the paper.

"1941, due to long-term collectivization and national oppression, there are a large number of dissidents in the country. If you make full use of it, you can enter as a liberator, so that you can get support from the people. In addition to the shortcomings, most of the people are educated, and the concept of the main nation is strong, which is not conducive to goodwill,..."

After writing down a series of unfavorable factors one after another and making a comparison of the two times, Chen Moran unexpectedly found that neither 1917 nor 1941 was the best choice, and the two time periods had their own advantages and disadvantages.

The biggest benefit of the former is that the other party does not have complete resistance and the low national education, so that China can easily occupy the country and influence the vast majority of people to "accept" the new empire through education. The advantage of the latter is that there are a large number of opposition forces in the country, and the seemingly powerful country can be disintegrated from the inside. After all, since the establishment of that empire, there has been an original sin that cannot be washed away.

"Did everything start with Stalin?"

Suddenly, such an idea came to Chen Moran's mind.

"No! It's absolutely impossible, maybe..."

Suddenly, a moment flashed in Chen Moran's mind. What if it was after the success of his revolution? For Umiyanov, who believes in the main force of violence, he knows very well that there are a large number of people who oppose the revolution in "his country", otherwise there will not be a famous "chka", followed by gurac, and the purge of the powerful, intellectuals and rich peasants. Those purges are bloody. It can be said that the kind of purges are in some kind of To some extent, it destroyed the old era of Russia.

"Kill one-tenth of the elites in order to consolidate the republic, then destroy the republic, and then in the name of judgment..."

Thinking of Chen Moran, he laughed. Through the disclosure of later generations to the Soviet Union, he can be said to have a great understanding of the "scientific surname" of red terror. Red terror has always believed in the principle of "it is better to kill three thousand by mistake than let one go", and also believes in the theory of bloodline. He believes that in order to consolidate the regime, it must be fundamentally eliminated. Counter-revolutionary and counter-revolutionary families.

"Maybe you can add fire and oil appropriately in the future!"

Appropriate addition of fire may make it more... Well, when this idea flashed, Chen Moran wrote a time period on the paper, which is the end of the war and the time of the first economic crisis after the war, and a proper war can stimulate the development of the national economy to a large extent. So that China's economy can get rid of the short-term downturn after the war with the support of the war, so as to avoid the post-war crisis in the national economy.

"It seems that this battle can't be fought!"

whispering that Chen Moran got up and walked out of the door. If this war must be carried out, then one thing must be arranged in advance. Otherwise, in the end, China will just make wedding clothes for others!

But when he left the office, he was still thinking about a problem. Is it possible?
