Chapter 398 Plan to Save Russia
Saturday, February 27, 1915, St. Petersburg, Russian Branch of the Royal Australasian Security Service.
"Are you all ready? Gentlemen." Monte Konosov looked at the people around him seriously and asked.
"The action team is ready and can execute orders at any time." The middle-aged man with a serious and cold face looked at him and answered first.
"The intelligence team doesn't have any problems and can start planning at any time." The younger man replied.
"Tiger, remember to tell your subordinates that you must kill with one blow and leave no clues or handles." Monte Konosov looked at the middle-aged man called Tiger and gave a solemn order.
"I understand, boss." Tiger nodded solemnly.
"Eagle, contact Tiger at any time, provide corresponding intelligence, and try to prevent the St. Petersburg police from arriving too quickly." Monte Konosov looked at the other man again and ordered.
"Okay, let's start taking action! His Majesty is waiting for your good news." After completing the instructions, Monte Konosov waved his hand and motioned for the two of them to start taking action.
St. Petersburg, an unknown house somewhere on the outskirts.
Boom, boom, boom!
There was a non-hurried knock on the door. Gwenge Jelowski stood up in surprise and said angrily as he walked towards the door: "Didn't you tell me not to come to me privately if you have nothing important to do? ?Which damn guy is disturbing people's dreams in the middle of the night?"
Crunch~
When he opened the door, he realized that the person knocking on the door was someone he didn't know at all. Just as Gwenge Jelowski was about to close the door, a strong arm grasped the door frame.
"Is this Mr. Gwenge Gerowski?" the man in black outside the door asked politely.
"Who are you?" Gwenge Jelowski asked while looking at the drawer of the desk not far away, where the pistol he carried during the day was placed.
"Please don't try to struggle, Mr. Gwenge Jerowski." The man stopped asking and ordered his men to control Gwenge Jerowski while he walked into the house.
"The disguise is really good, Mr. Gwenge Gerovsky. Without prior investigation, who would believe that this is the residence of the leader of the largest reactionary party in Russia?" The man was sitting in the only room in the room. On the sofa, he took off his hat, and it was the tiger from before.
"I don't understand what you're talking about? I'm just an ordinary employee of the machinery factory." Although he had been exposed, Gwenge Gerowski still tried to struggle and quibble.
"Stop trying to make excuses, Mr. Gwenge Jerowski. If there is no sufficient investigation, we will not find you, right? Sit down and chat, my dear Mr. Party Leader." Tiger gestured The men tied Gwenge Jelowski to a chair on the side, and the other men walked upstairs.
"Please, all the affairs of the party have nothing to do with my family. Please let my family go." Seeing that his family upstairs was about to suffer, Gwenge Gerowski took off all disguises and begged.
"Don't worry, Mr. Gwenge Jerowski. I believe you are a smart man. As long as you cooperate absolutely, we will not harm your family. But if we find that what you said is half-false , I promise to send all of you to see God." Seeing Gwenge Jelowski begin to cooperate, Tiger nodded with satisfaction, while not forgetting to threaten.
"Tell me about your plan, Mr. Gwenge Gerovsky. I heard that you plan to organize a general strike in cities near the St. Petersburg River to oppose the war. I wonder who is the planner of this general strike? We Can I have the honor to meet him?" Tiger asked with a smile.
The current impact of this war on Russia is still huge. The living standards of Russian civilians have plummeted due to this war, and even food and clothing are a problem.
This also resulted in a large proportion of Russian civilians who opposed the war. The major political parties also seized this opportunity to vigorously promote anti-war doctrine.
The opposition party where Gwenge Gerovsky belonged seized this opportunity and became the largest reactionary party in Tsarist Russia, with hundreds of thousands of party members.
If Russia were not very afraid of such a political party and had suppressed it many times, I am afraid that the number of members of Gwenge Gerovsky's opposition party would definitely exceed one million.
"This matter." Gwenge Jerowski was silent for a while, and then said: "It was planned by Mr. Colin Francisco Kamansky who was far away in Switzerland."
Tiger nodded, Not surprised by this answer.
According to the investigation of the Royal Security Intelligence Service, although Gwenge Gerovsky is the leader of the opposition party, he is trusted and admired by the entire Russian opposition party, even most of the democratic and liberal political parties in Russia, as well as by most of the workers and civilians in Russia. The person behind it is actually Colin Francisco Kamansky who lives in Switzerland.
After the failure of planning a revolution during the Russo-Japanese War, Colin Francisco Kamansky chose to flee to Switzerland in order to escape capture by the Russian government, but he was always concerned about the situation in Russia.
After the outbreak of World War I, Colin Francisco Kamansky immediately realized that this was an opportunity for all revolutionary classes in Russia and the best time to overthrow Russian feudalism and monarchy.
Therefore, a large number of workers' strikes were planned and executed, which also made the Russian government, which was already in crisis, even more shaken.
"Who are all the political parties participating in the general strike and their main personnel?" Tiger nodded and continued to ask.
"The Democratic Party, the Labor Party, the Menshevik Party, the National Party. All parties that can be named are involved in the plan for this general strike." After betraying his conscience, Gwenge Gerovsky was surprised to find out , answering the questions is no longer so difficult, and the answers almost come out of the mouth.
"Very good, I'm very satisfied with your answer, Mr. Gwenge Gerovsky. Now it's your turn to deal with you, my dear Mr. Party Leader." After asking all the questions, Tiger looked at Gwenge Jelowski said with a hint of meaning.
"You can do whatever you want, but can you let my family go? My family is innocent. They did not participate in any reactionary behavior. They are still loyal to His Majesty the Tsar." Gwenge Gerovsky also He is not afraid of death, but what he fears is the safety of his family.
"We are not evil people, Mr. Gwenge Jerofsky." Tiger said with a smile: "If you are willing to cooperate with us, then I guarantee that your family and you will be safe. "
Gwenge Jelowski sighed, understanding that it was the final moment to decide the safety of herself and her family, and said: "You tell me, sir. As long as the safety of my family can be guaranteed, I am willing to cooperate with you. Cooperate with the government's actions."
To this day, Gwenge Gerovsky still believes that the Tigers and his party are troops of the tsarist government whose purpose is to eliminate the rebellion in Russia.
As the leader of the largest reactionary party in Russia, Gwenge Gerovsky had already anticipated his fate, but he did not expect that the Russian government would be able to find his secret residence. You know, Gwenge Gerovsky bribed countless officials in St. Petersburg, Russia alone. Who leaked the information?
"We will treat tonight as if nothing happened, but you will need to notify us in advance of all strikes and other demonstrations in the future. Do you understand?" Tiger said with a smile.
Get rid of one Gwenge Jelowski, and another Gwenge Jelowski will step up.
He is like Colin Francisco Kamansky's puppet in Russia, who can be promoted at will.
Instead of doing this, it would be better to directly penetrate into the upper echelons of the Russian reactionary party through Gwenge Gerovsky, learn about all the actions planned by the Russian reactionary party, and inform Russia to prepare in advance.
Hearing that the other party could let him go so easily, Gwenge Jelowski's eyes widened in disbelief.
"That's all we ask, Mr. Gwenge Gerowski. I hope you're a wise man and don't challenge the capabilities of our intelligence services. If any demonstration is missed, please explain it to God at that time. ." Before finally leaving, Tiger even threatened once more with a hint of meaning.
The actions went far beyond that. With the exception of Gwenge Gerovsky, the Royal Security Intelligence Service almost visited the residences of most of the main members of the Russian reactionary party and gave cordial and friendly condolences to these reactionary party members.
Some who were more willing to cooperate, like Gwenge Jelowski, were let go after brief questioning.
For those who are not very cooperative, the intelligence officers can only ask them to see God and let them express their loyalty to God.
After a night of operations, hundreds of intelligence personnel in Russia were mobilized and achieved quite good results.
Those senior opposition parties who are forced to cooperate with the Royal Security Intelligence Service can also supervise each other.
If there were any inconsistencies in the intelligence, it would prove that someone was lying, and that would be the next time the intelligence services came out.
In addition to carrying out operations on the Russian side, after Tiger reported to his superiors, Monte Konosov also requested the branch of the Royal Security Intelligence Service in France to cooperate with the operation and go to Switzerland to express condolences and condolences to Klin who was hiding behind all the demonstrations in Russia. ·Francisco Kamanski.
On February 28, 1915, the chief of the St. Petersburg Police Department who had just entered his office was surprised to find a document on his desk.
When the document was opened, it clearly stated that a strike march was planned in St. Petersburg and surrounding cities three days later, as well as all the political parties participating in the march.
It also lists several senior members of participating political parties and detailed information about their families.
The chief of the St. Petersburg Police Department did not dare to be careless. Since the last workers' demonstration broke out in St. Petersburg, Nicholas II issued a death order and did not want to see any workers' strikes or demonstrations in St. Petersburg.
This also means that if the workers' strike is allowed to happen, the police chief will lose his official title and may even implicate a large number of officials.
In order to ensure that there would be no problems with the security of St. Petersburg, the police chief urgently sent this document to Nicholas II.
Nicholas II was very angry about such a workers' strike and ordered all police stations in St. Petersburg and nearby cities to prepare in advance, severely punish the leaders, and try to appease the participants.
In order to minimize the number of future general strikes, Nicholas II also ordered a batch of free materials to be distributed to workers in St. Petersburg and nearby cities, using practical benefits to alleviate the workers' dissatisfaction.
Of course, this batch of supplies was deducted from the war supplies provided by Britain, France and Australia. Anyway, they were all used to increase Russia's combat effectiveness. It's not my own, so I don't feel bad if I use it.
As predicted in that document, a large-scale workers' strike broke out in St. Petersburg on March 3, 1915.
According to statistics, the number of workers on strike is as high as 35,000, and it has also affected some small cities around St. Petersburg.
If the police department and the Russian public security system had not predicted this, I am afraid that this general strike would have spread to many surrounding cities, and the impact would be far greater than it is now.
After the Russian government issued emergency supplies to comfort them, at least half of the workers stopped participating in the strike. The rest only participated in the crowd and left immediately after being advised by the police.
The St. Petersburg Police Department well implemented Nicholas II's order to severely punish the planners and tried to appease the participants.
On March 3 alone, the St. Petersburg Police Department arrested thousands of strike "planners" and killed more than a dozen people on the spot.
Because there were so many people involved, nearly 2,000 people were imprisoned and dozens of people were shot dead on the spot. The general strike on March 3 was also called Red Wednesday within the reactionary party.
After the failure of the general strike, some senior leaders of the reactionary party, headed by Gwenge Jerowski, began to preach the theory of recuperating and waiting for the opportunity in secret.
Coupled with the failure of the general strike carefully planned by many parties, the proposal to temporarily lurk and wait for opportunities was accepted by the majority, and the apparent crisis in Russia was temporarily lifted.
Arthur, who received the results of the Russian general strike in Australasia, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At least until the end of World War I, Arthur did not want to see Russia fall too quickly.
Russia has attracted a large number of German troops to Britain, France and Australia on the Eastern Front. Australasia only needs to provide part of the weapons, equipment and strategic materials, and can sit back and watch the tigers fight, and laugh at the development of the European war.
If Russia, the main combat force, is lost, not only will Britain and France face greater losses, but Australasia will also be asked by Britain and France to send more main combat forces. This is not a good thing for Australasia.
