    "Are you waiting for that gangster to come over?"

    "Your Majesty, I think we need to cease war with China first."

    "Um?"

    "We can easily destroy Ulyanov's 20,000 men. What I'm worried about now is that if Ulyanov spreads his troops around and engages in guerrilla warfare, we will be pinned down.  Most of the troops. If the Chinese come over then, then we"

    "What? Don't you know how to recruit troops? Do you want me to give up the Far East?"

    "Your Majesty, the army's budget is insufficient, and even if we recruit soldiers, we don't have enough weapons."

    "What? What do people in the arsenal do for food? Oh! I should send these moths to the gallows!"

    "Your Majesty, Ulyanov mainly relies on China for his supplies. We should cease war with China first and cut off his supplies, and then we can kill him. As for China, we can always find a reason to declare war. We can wait until Ukraine is hanged.  After Ulyanov, we will declare war on China. Otherwise, as long as the Chinese continue to provide supplies to Ulyanov, we will continue to consume financial resources on him. The people are already aware of the previous defeats.  After seeing the fact that the empire was defeated in the Far East, those rebellious parties seem to be showing signs of causing rebellion"

    At this time, the chief guard of the Winter Palace ran in anxiously and said to Nicholas II: "Your Majesty, it's not good. Tens of thousands of people gathered outside the Winter Palace. They were carrying your portrait, holding church flags, and singing  I'm singing a prayer song. I don't know if I want to vent my dissatisfaction to you, and there are more and more people!"

    "Oh! These people must have listened to the words of the rebels and came here to cause trouble! Quick. Go and order the guards to keep an eye on them. If these people want to rush in, shoot! Kuropatkin, you call the army over immediately! Disperse these people.  , and at the same time ordered the arrest of the rebels mixed in the crowd!" Nicholas II said.

    Kuropatkin went to send a telegram and came back and said to Nicholas II: "Your Majesty, do you want to armistice with China first? I think the Chinese will be very happy."

    "Negotiating peace with the Chinese? Oh! We lost more than 200,000 people in the Far East! Not only did we lose the land in the Far East! We also lost more than 200 million francs! You want me to just let it go?"

    "Bah bang bang bang!" Nicholas II wanted to continue, but was interrupted by a burst of gunfire.

    "Oh, it must be those gangsters who want to rush in! Damn it! Xiao Qing's gangsters should have been killed long ago!"

    "Ceasefire! Ceasefire!" Slavi, the chief guard of the Winter Palace, shouted.  I didn't know that the damn one fired a shot just now, causing everyone to shoot at the people.  But his voice seemed too small at this time, and the sound of gunshots and cries mixed together in the square.  No one could hear clearly what Slavi said about seeking death.

    Trotsky shouted in the crowd: "Look! This is the tyranny of the Tsar! We are just here to petition! But this tyrant wants us to shoot! We must resist! We need freedom of speech and press, workers  Freedom of association! We want everyone to be equal under the law! We want to stop the war with China! We want to prohibit capitalist exploitation! We want an eight-hour working day and the land belongs to farmers!"

    Because Lenin gained the support of China in the Far East, the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party developed rapidly.  A few days ago, a strike began at Putilov Factory, the largest factory in Petersburg.  The strike was triggered by the dismissal of four workers at the factory.  Half a year ago, the police department had established its own organization "Russian Factory Workers Congress" among the workers through the spy Father Gabon.  Two days after workers went on strike.  Father Gabon proposed a plan to petition the emperor at the meeting of his organization: let all workers gather on this day, hold church flags and portraits of the Tsar, and peacefully march to the Winter Palace to submit a petition stating their sufferings to the Tsar.  Book.  He told the workers: "The Tsar will definitely come out to meet the people, listen to and meet the people's demands."

    The petition was discussed at workers¡¯ meetings and some modifications were made.  People from the Social Democratic Labor Party also spoke at these rallies, although they did not identify themselves.  Due to their influence, the petition was added to the petition regarding freedom of speech and press, freedom of workers' association, convening a constituent assembly to change the Russian state system, equality under the law, separation of church and state, cessation of war, implementation of an eight-hour work day,  Land belongs to farmers and other requirements.

    People from the Social Democratic Labor Party knew that this petition might be shot by the Winter Palace guards, and warned workers at the rally that they might be shot.  But at this time, a large part of the workers still believed that the Tsar would help them and therefore did not agree with the warnings of the Social Democratic Labor Party personnel.

    morning.  The workers spontaneously went to the Winter Palace, many bringing their whole families with them.  Social Democratic Labor Party members were also mixed in with the crowd, and unlike the unarmed workers, they all had guns in their hands.  Because Lenin will transfer the funds received from Qin Ge in general.Used by the Social Democratic Labor Party of the United States, they secretly purchased a batch of revolvers and some Mauser rifles from Germany.  The SDLP members feared that this petition might be shot at.  So they all brought ****.  But a Mauser military gun went off, and the bullet hit the gunman's thigh, and the man immediately screamed in pain.  There were only a few hundred guards in the Winter Palace, and at this time facing a crowd of more than 100,000 people, they naturally felt nervous, so they heard a gunshot.  Thinking that many people in the crowd had guns, they started shooting into the crowd.

    Nicholas II looked at the out-of-control scene from upstairs and said to Kuropatkin: "How long will it take for the army to arrive?"

    Kuropatkin felt very nervous when he saw more than 100,000 people shouting and running in the square. He said: "It should be here soon! I asked them to come immediately in the telegram."

    The army soon felt it. When they heard gunshots on the road, the leader gave the order to run forward.  When I arrived at the square, I saw the palace guards firing at the crowd to suppress them, and without saying a word, ordered the civilians to open fire.

    The military¡¯s suppression soon took effect, and people began to disperse, leaving almost two thousand corpses and more than three thousand wounded on the Winter Palace Square.

    Seeing the crowd disperse, Nicholas II said: "Finally everyone is gone!"

    The workers retreated from the square to the street, all with red eyes.  They were angry.  To think that the Tsar actually shot them.  The originally tall image of the Tsar in their hearts became fragmented.

    Trotsky shouted in the street: "This is the Tsar! Tyranny! Cruel! He actually ordered to shoot at us who were unarmed! The Tsar is the culprit of this cruel atrocity, and we should fight against him! Fight for what we deserve  s right!"

    "This guy is right! We can only fight for our rights through struggle." A worker agreed.

    "The Tsar beat us, so we will beat him too!"

    "Yes! We have to beat him too! We can't just let it go!" a worker shouted, while his wife was helping her bandage the injured arm.

    "We have to beat him up too! We can't just let it go today!"

    "We have to fight! We have to fight for the rights we deserve!"

    The slogan of ¡°struggle¡± quickly spread among the workers.  In the evening, workers began to build barricades in residential areas in order to prevent the Tsarist platoon troops from coming in for raids.

    News of Nicholas II¡¯s bloody atrocities in the Palace Square quickly spread throughout the country.  The entire Russian working class and the people of the country were filled with indignation.  In just two or three days, workers in every city went on strike to protest against the Tsar's atrocities.  and made political demands.  The workers are now marching on the streets shouting the slogan "Down with the communist system."  Half a month later, the number of strikers reached a huge number of 440,000.  More workers went on strike in one month than in the entire previous decade.  The Russian Social Democratic Labor Party developed greatly, and the leaders of the Labor Party began to organize workers to go on strike.  The workers began to shift from economic strikes and support strikes to political strikes.

    Nicholas II ordered an armed suppression of these stupid civilians. Once the demonstrators disobeyed the advice and dispersed, the military and police would shoot and suppress them.  This behavior of the government completely angered the workers.  They further strengthened their belief that "only through struggle can we win our rights."

    ??Poland was partitioned by Tsarist Russia, Prussia, and Austria a hundred years ago, and then the three countries partitioned Poland twice. The Kingdom of Poland, which had existed for more than 800 years, was established in 1795.  Although Poland was subjugated, the Polish people have never forgotten their identity as Poles. As time went by, some Poles were influenced by communist ideas and established the Social Democratic Party in Poland.  The Poles have some contact with the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party. After all, everyone is a communist.

    After large-scale strikes broke out in Russia, workers in Poland also held strikes in response to Petersburg, Moscow and other places.  Incidents of clashes between striking workers and demonstrators and the tsarist army increased day by day.  On May 1, the largest strike in the world broke out across Russia.  All factories in Russia stopped working on this day.  All the workers raised their hands and marched.

    Workers¡¯ political strikes shook the country.  Under the leadership of the Social Democratic Labor Party, the peasants began to rebel against the landlords, destroying their farms, sugar mills and wineries, and burning their buildings and courtyards.  In many places, farmers seized land from landlords and cut down their trees in large numbers.  Demand that the landlords¡¯ land be transferred to the people.  The peasants took the landlord's grain and other food and distributed it to the hungry people.  The landowners were so frightened that they had to flee to the city.  The tsarist government sent soldiers and Cossacks to suppress the peasant uprising.

    Lenin was also advancing vigorously at this time, attacking all the way from Novosibirsk to Tyumen. At this time, he had controlled Omuk, Petropavl, Kurgan and other areas. Many people joined along the way, and the team had expanded to  More than 50,000 people.  Insufficient material resourcesThe broken ones were transported from the Siberian Railway.  Learning that a general strike had broken out in the country, Lenin felt that it was really possible to overthrow the tsar's rule.  At this time, Qin Ge had put down the rebellion in Xinjiang, and now had heavy troops on the border, ready to invade Russia at any time.

    On May 8, workers in Warsaw, Lodz and other Polish cities launched armed uprisings. They seized the weapons of the military and police and began to fight against the Tsarist army.  Unfortunately, there were no supplies, and the struggle lasted less than six days before the uprising failed.

    The armed struggles in Warsaw and Lodz reminded workers on strike and demonstration that they must carry out armed struggle!  You can't be beaten passively!  The Social Democratic Labor Party led workers to sneak attack on the army, seize weapons, and begin armed resistance in response to Lenin's armed uprising.

    Nicholas II blamed Lenin for all the workers' uprisings. Without this rebel party, how could the workers have rebelled?  Nicholas II mobilized heavy troops and was bound to kill Lenin.

    Nicholas II mobilized more than 300,000 troops from Kostanai, Chelyabinsk and Yekaterinaburg to attack Tyumen and Kurgan.  The enemy was strong and we were weak, so Lenin took the initiative to abandon Tyumen and Kurgan.  After running for eight hundred miles, the "strategic shift" came to Omux.  As a rebel, you absolutely cannot retreat, you can only "strategically shift".  After Lenin retreated to Omux, he asked Qin Ge to follow the military observers to send a telegram asking for help.  In order to hide the small telegraph machine, Qin Ge had his cars modified and more than 100 kilograms of radios were installed on several cars for Lenin to use.

    For Nicholas II.  Qin Ge was also very annoyed. There was obviously civil strife in the country, but he still didn't intend to make peace.  Qin Ge thinks this is because he has not been able to make Nicholas II feel pressured.

    Near the cavalry camp of Bargosh Lake.

    Zhang Zuolin is playing with the new equipment in his hand-the shell gun.  By analyzing the army battles in the past two years, Qin Ge found that cavalry still played a great role, because at this time, the surrounding countries' armies did not have many heavy machine guns.  Cars need to burn oil, which is inconvenient without horses. In addition, tens of thousands of war horses were obtained from Mongolia, so Qin Ge also established a large cavalry force.  It is very inconvenient for cavalry to use rifles. Cavalry battles mostly occur at close range, and the range of rifles is meaningless. Therefore, Qin Ge urgently needs a gun suitable for cavalry.  Finally the shell gun was chosen.  The appearance of the shell gun is very similar to the Mauser military gun. There doesn't seem to be much difference between the two, but the one in Zhang Zuolin's hand was designed and manufactured by Qin Ge by modifying a small part of the box gun.  The reason why Qin Ge uses the shape of a Mauser box cannon.  This is because the designed bullet is too long, and considering ergonomics, the grip cannot be made too large.

    Qin Ge named the gun the shell gun because the name shell gun has special significance in China. There are only a few guns that appear most in anti-war films.  The shell gun, made in Hanyang, the 38 Daigai, the Czech light machine gun, and the crooked handle, and the shell gun is often the special weapon of the protagonist.  Qin Ge developed a powerful bullet for the shell gun, a 7x28mm pointed bullet with a warhead weight of 5 grams and a muzzle velocity of 480 meters per second.  Because the bullet was too long, Qin Ge chose the shape of a box gun.  The shell gun is very accurate.  The barrel length is 15 centimeters, the total length of the gun is 295 millimeters, and it is equipped with a twenty-round magazine, which can be fired single or continuously. It can be regarded as the world's first fully automatic gun.  .  At this time, the Mauser box gun only had a semi-automatic version, and it was not fed by a magazine. The bullets needed to be fired one round from the ejection port or loaded with a ten-round bridge clip. This went against the ease of loading of semi-automatic guns.  This is one of the reasons why this gun has not become the military weapon of any country.  This improved version designed by Qin Ge has the advantages and disadvantages of the Mauser box gun, with high accuracy and fast firing rate, but at the same time the gun body is too long and the muzzle jumps sharply when firing.  However, when used to equip cavalry, these shortcomings are irrelevant. The cavalry does not care that the gun body is too long to be carried. As for the problem of the muzzle jumping too much, it has also been solved. Just turn the gun body sideways and shoot.  Well, it can also be used as a submachine gun for shooting in close combat.

    The sight range of the shell gun is two hundred meters, which does not have the crazy data of one thousand meters of the Mauser box gun.  What the cavalry really likes is the continuous fire function of the shell gun. This function is tantamount to cheating in a cavalry duel.  The cavalry basically uses sabers or bayonets in close combat duels, but with the continuous fire function, it can kill many enemies by strafing from a distance of tens of meters.

    After several days of practice, Zhang Zuolin has mastered the shell gun. He is absolutely sure that this is the most suitable gun for cavalry. The range of 200 meters is very sufficient, and the accuracy of this gun within 200 meters can be compared with  Compared with a rifle, he could kill a chicken at a distance of 150 meters within two shots on a running horse!  When Zhang Zuolin was not free, he would take out his gun and enjoy it.

    "Division Commander! The General Staff sent a telegram asking us to attack Karaganda!" A soldier came running over on horseback.

    At this time, most of Kazakhstan¡¯s territory wasUnder Russian control, Qin Ge decided to attack Kazakhstan and force Nicholas II to sue for peace. Now that the country's territory is basically intact, Qin Ge hopes to enter a peaceful period as soon as possible to accelerate development.

    "What? Are you saying that the General Staff wants us to attack the Russian territory?" Zhang Zuolin said happily.

    "Yes! Mr. Wang Wu, Mr. Ma and Mongolia's Zalim are waiting for you to have a meeting!"

    "Okay, I'll go back now!" Zhang Zuolin mounted his horse and started running towards the camp. Suddenly he saw a pheasant by the lake. He took out his gun and fired a shot. The pheasant's head was smashed.  Zhang Zuolin shouted to the running soldiers: "Haha! Catch the pheasant for me!"

    "Come on!" Zhang Zuolin stopped outside the main tent, got off his horse, and handed the horse to a soldier to take away.

    After entering the tent, the other three division commanders were already studying the offensive route on the map. Zhang Zuolin said: "How is it? How can we attack it after studying it?"

    "Hey! Your kid is back!" Wang Wudao.

    "Fifth Master! I called you Master! If you don't call me this way, I am still a division commander in charge of more than 10,000 troops. How can I be called a brat?!"

    "You kid! You haven't even married a wife yet! What are you if you're not a kid?" Wang Wudao said.

    "Wife?" Speaking of his wife, Zhang Zuolin thought of the Zhao family in the same village. Before he joined Song Qing, he had already arranged an in-law marriage.  He was only twenty-three at this time and had already become a division commander. If Zhao was not married when the war was over and he returned, he would marry Zhao.

    "Hahahaha!" Several people laughed.

    "Don't blame me. Have you studied the offensive route?" Zhang Zuolin said.

    "There is nothing to study. When Lao Maozi attacked Ili, he built a road. We can just follow the road." Ma Kun said.  .  .  )
