Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After six years in power, Mussolini gradually realized his childhood desire to pursue grandeur and openness.  He directed his architects to build the country's modern infrastructure: new railway stations and post offices, courts and universities, factories and sanatoriums, doing their best to represent the path taken by fascism with each step forward.

    Mussolini is also preparing to build a palace of his own, the Authority Building, and use it as the headquarters of the Fascist Party.  This ideal was finally realized in 1931, when the building had an atrium that highlighted the surrounding Party institutions, and the abstract architectural language expressed a sense of intimidation and a boast of the leader's personal conquests.  However, Mussolini, who was immersed in the pleasure of power, did not expect the economic crisis sweeping the world.

    This crisis broke out on Wall Street in the United States at the end of 1930. Stocks plummeted inexplicably. Then, in just a few months, factories went bankrupt, banks collapsed, and a large number of workers lost their jobs. When the people were starving, farmers  But they were busy destroying food and pouring milk into the river.  The United States, which claims to be the most democratic, is helpless in the face of the menacing economic crisis.  Starting in 1931, the crisis quickly spread to Europe and Japan, and then affected the whole world.

    In Moscow, Anna, who was always watching the United States, couldn't help shouting: The opportunity is here!  History has completely changed. In October 1929, Anna had been looking forward to the economic crisis, but she was disappointed. In 1930, Anna waited for a long time. She even thought that because she had changed history, the original events in 1929  ¡ª¡ªThe economic crisis of 1933 disappeared.

    This global economic crisis was serious. Even though Anna had prepared in advance, millions of workers in Russia were still unemployed by 1932. However, Anna was still lucky: 20 million people were unemployed in the United States.  In 1931, the great British economist Keynes went crazy. He discovered that the Russian government had almost plagiarized his theory. His monograph "The General Theory" had not yet been published, but the Russians had turned their theory into reality in advance. By 1933  In 2006, Russia emerged from the crisis.

    Opportunities, the world is in chaos, opportunities are everywhere!  From 1931 to 1933, in just two years, Russia paid off most of its debts by taking advantage of the sharp depreciation of the U.S. dollar, pound, and franc.  At the same time, Anna focused on the excess industrial resources and scientific and technological talents in the United States, searching for think tanks and importing doctors.

    Anna will never worry about complex economic affairs. She leaves them to her bureaucrats.  Anna still prefers exciting military adventures to the boring economy, and soon the Italian leader comes to visit.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????

    The United States has a vast territory and abundant resources, and Britain and France have vast colonies. Even though it was struggling, it still got out of the economic trough in 1934.  But Italy couldn't hold on anymore. It had a small territory and few colonies. It couldn't digest the consequences of the economic crisis internally, so it had to vent it externally.  In 1932, Mussolini founded the world's first international film festival, the Venice International Film Festival, in the water city of Venice.  Its purpose is to exchange experiences, learn from each other, promote the development of the film industry in various countries, promote exchanges and cooperation among film workers, and provide convenience for the development of film trade. Taking this opportunity, Mussolini hopes to further strengthen Russian-Italian relations.

    After receiving Mussolini¡¯s invitation, Anna thought she could move around a bit and go to Venice to see Mussolini, a historical figure, with her own eyes.

    The film festival opened in September, and now it is hot summer. Anna¡¯s attention is attracted by the situation in the Far East.  In June 1932, Japan, which had already occupied North Korea and Taiwan, was stimulated by the economic crisis and finally took the first step to invade Northeast China.  Relying on bases along the Lushun, Dalian and Manchuria Railways, the Japanese army dispatched three divisions to attack Shenyang. Zhang Zuolin's Northeastern Army put up a fierce resistance, but suffered heavy casualties.

    In China in 1932, the warlords were still fighting. Sun Dapao of Guangdong died a few years ago. His successor Chiang Kai-shek followed Mr. Sun's last wish and continued to strengthen the Kuomintang army. He drove away the local warlords of Guangdong and replaced them.  Then he united with the southwestern warlords and confronted the Beijing government.  Compared with the south, the north has been in a melee. The Anhui clique warlords supported by Japan and the Zhili clique warlords supported by Britain and the United States have been fighting on and off for more than ten years for control of the central government. Before 1929, Zhang Zuolin of the Feng clique had been fighting in Russia.  As Japan wavered, he also wanted to play the same trick he played during the Russo-Japanese War in 1904: being a faggot would benefit the fisherman.

    Anna did not give him this opportunity. Since 1919, the Russian Far East Army has held military exercises every year. With the expansion of economic strength, more and more new tanks and armored vehicles have appeared on the vast grasslands. This is the oppression of force;  Then there was the temptation of politics. Anna ordered a special envoy to tell Zhang Zuolin: Russia is already very big and has no interest in the Northeastern territory. What Russia needs is security and Russia needs allies in the Far East.  Zhang Zuolin also put forward his own request out of the traditional Chinese idea of ??"great unification": he hoped that Russia would support the Northeast Army in moving south to compete for control of the Beijing government

    In July, after losing tens of thousands of troops, Zhang Zuolin once again asked Russia for help.  This time Anna agreed. On the one hand, she supported the Northeast Army with supplies, and on the other hand, she ordered the Far Eastern Front Army to deploy five divisions to enter Heilongjiang under the pretext of protecting "the Dongqing Railway and Russian expatriates in China" to "help" Zhang Zuolin maintain order in the rear.  The former Northeastern garrison of Heilongjiang Province was sent to Jilin by the Russian army. Soon, the Japanese army occupied the entire territory of Fengtian, and Zhang Zuolin was defeated and retreated to Jilin. At this point, the originally famous Northeastern King became a small warlord shrinking into a province, and became a clique.  Sink.

    After occupying Fengtian, the Japanese army continued to move northward non-stop to attack Jilin.  This was something Anna could not tolerate. Although Russia was defeated in the Russo-Japanese War in 1905, it did not mean that Russia had completely withdrawn from Manchuria: the Trans-Siberian Railway, which Anna regarded as the "backbone" of Russia, started from Moscow in the west,  Spanning eight time zones and 16 Eurasian rivers, it crosses Heilongjiang and Jilin provinces in northeastern China. With the construction of the Dongqing Railway, there are a large number of Orthodox churches from Shenyang, Changchun, and Harbin to Manzhouli, Suifenhe, and Mudanjiang.  There are hundreds of schools.

    The Secrecy Bureau under Dzerzhinsky also established intelligence departments such as the Russian Royal Oriental Society, the Dongqing Railway Economic Survey, and the Manchurian Flora and Fauna Research Society in major cities in the Northeast to investigate the situation in the Northeast and compile statistics, charts, and  The report prepares Russian business owners for investment in Northeast China.

    Japan¡¯s special higher education courses are by no means free-for-all. Anna believes that the Japanese should know that Heilongjiang and Jilin are Russia¡¯s spheres of influence. Since they are bent on seeking war, Anna has no choice but to give an order to Yegorov in the Far East: ¡°Destroy all Japanese troops who enter Jilin!  "The command.

    "This is an opportunity to test out the latest tanks." Anna thought.
