At this moment, Shi Lei told Stalin about Russia that Stalin was eager to get the news about Russia, but the news was so sudden, it was beyond his expectations. He originally thought that there was still some time, maybe not three or five years, at least one or two years. According to the information he obtained, the current situation between the Allies and the Allies is far from over, but now it has suddenly come.

The news given by Shi Lei is quite comprehensive, not only including the general situation in Russia, but also the news of Lenin's return to China. If there were a lot of revolutions in Russia and the news of melee everywhere and could not control Stalin, the news of Lenin's return made Stalin unable to sit still. Among the Bolsheviks, Lenin was the leader, the spiritual mentor, and the supreme leader of the entire Bolsheviks. He had returned to China. If Stalin did not go back, he would either be independent or rebel.

The former is difficult. Although Stalin was also a good revolutionary, Stalin was still far from being at the height of the founding of the sect. That is to say, he had only one side. Although he had huge power and rebellious power, Stalin knew that it was not the time. All propaganda was spread based on Bolshevism and Leninism. There were even several senior Bolsheviks who managed the army and the city, and he took at most half of the power by himself.

If you unite, you will benefit from both sides. Stalin knew all this clearly. Even if the power you control now is different from the huge Russia, let alone separate. Why should you have a little bit of strength if you cannot achieve the success of the revolution?

Of course, it was impossible for Stalin not to regret it. If he had mastered this information earlier and bought it earlier, the situation would have been much better than it is now, and at least he would not have been so busy.

Shi Lei's orders were quite harsh. If he made a decision within a week, he would either leave or stay. Whether he left or stayed, the control of these Russian cities would no longer be in their hands. He needed to follow China's requirements and could not have an independent status. It would be difficult to make money with the help of Russian labor, unless he could get prisoners from the occupied Russian territory in the future, whether it was Russian prisoners or other countries.

Of course, this was recorded by Stalin. In the future, if they want to gain Russian regime, the funds, weapons, ammunition, and even population they carry may not be enough. However, among the three, money is the most important. They maintain some connection with China, exchange gold, jewelry, and other things for funds, and even capture some people to send them over. Instead of killing them to vent their anger, they should let them transform their labor and contribute to the revolution.

In a week, there was not much that could be done. In fact, when Shi Lei proposed the ultimatum, Stalin had already made a decision. Leaving was certain, and how many people could be taken away and how much property he could be taken away was the height he was in the future. For this reason, Stalin used his last efforts to try to bring more people. However, Stalin did not expect that the comfortable life would make many people lose the fighting spirit to continue fighting. Not only would most of the people rather be disbanded and incorporated into other cities in China, or even change their living habits and learn unfamiliar Chinese, they were unwilling to devote themselves to the revolutionary process and contribute to the new Russia. Fortunately, there was no problem with the most elite 300,000, otherwise Stalin would not dare to say whether he could persevere.

In the end, Stalin eventually took away 1.4 million people, including 800,000 troops and 600,000 people. This was the limit. These were either Bolshevik Party members or activists who joined the party. Of course, there were some who were concerned about Russia, and their goals were not pure.

No matter whether it is pure or not, as long as you are willing to leave, at least on the road to opposing Russia, they have no intention of directly entering Russia's European region from the Urals, which is almost Russia's last base. According to China's suggestions, they will enter Russia from Central Asia, and after occupying that area of ​​Central Asia, they will enter Russia from the side. China also promises to build a railway from China's Xinjiang to Central Asia to ensure supply supplies. As long as there is enough capital, they can buy anything from China, including weapons and equipment.

In order to go back, Stalin's preparations were still in depth. He only created an army of 800,000, of which only 500,000 were elite troops, and the remaining 300,000 were auxiliary troops. However, both regular troops and auxiliary troops were equipped with weapons. For this reason, the funds stored by the Bolsheviks began to spend the money flowing out.

For this part, China generously gave them enough support, and did not temporarily raise prices due to the needs of Stalin and others, or even just a very low price. This has to be said that Stalin didn't know that most of the equipment sold to them were seized from Russia, and some were seized from Japan. Stalin was probably equipped with 300,000 Russian equipment and 200,000 Japanese equipment, which was twice as much as possible, and artillery fired machine guns and other things.

The most important thing is that when he left, he gave Stalin 100 180mm artillery and 8 base ammunition. This is a killer weapon. In the past, the 180mm artillery was a strategic support firepower of the Russian army. It was the most powerful and powerful of all artillery. In the previous equipment purchases, China never spitted, and it was only given after it was opened here.

However, according to the quality of the Bolshevik army, even the 180 artillery can be mastered quickly. After all, more than two years have been enough to train hundreds of elite gunners, which is obtained through a lot of training. As long as you are a little familiar with and master the rules of the 180 artillery, you can already play a role. With these artillery, even if you meet the most elite Russian troops, Stalin is sure to win the battle at the same scale.

In addition to arms, the more important thing is that the Bolsheviks and China agreed on the price of future arms purchases, which basically had the same standards as Germany, and could be exchanged with gold, minerals, and other valuable things. If the Bolsheviks could provide enough manpower, they specifically refer to the input of China and settled according to the same standards as Germany. A person's annual salary is 50 US dollars, which is extremely high for most workers in this era.

The Bolsheviks and Stalin had not yet obtained power. To put it bluntly, it was just a local separatist force that could receive the same treatment as Germany, and even a little support. This was already the greatest support for Stalin. At least he was not worried that the army would become a rootless water and a tree without fate in the future.

The Bolsheviks had too little foreign support, and more than 500,000 troops were not small. If Russia had spread its power, they were really not opponents. Ammunition supply was enough for 2-3 large-scale battles. If a high-intensity battle was fought for a year, problems would arise.

Previously, some senior officials believed that it would be not easy to get through the Urals to enter the heartland of Russia faster and help the revolution. Both sides took the Urals as the boundary. Both China and Russia prepared a large number of trenches, which could not be compared with Bordeaux, but was the largest in Russia. The Bolsheviks did not have enough strength to break through the Urals defense line.

Of course, China did not let him go anywhere. China has investigated the surrounding situation clearly. They did not enter from Mongolia, but crossed Xinjiang through the pass of the Tianshan Mountains, and entered Central Asia. China adhered to the previous border line and only took over the land occupied by Russia. The rest will not be crossed. Perhaps in the future, it will move forward a little, not too much. China already owns too much land, and this part of the land is enough for China to develop, and other places, especially barren places like Central Asia.

If there are excellent minerals, you may be able to go further. However, in Yang Yuanzhao's impression, near China's borders, there are no large-scale, super world-class mineral deposits like Mongolia's gold and copper mines. Central Asia has many resources, especially oil, with a considerable wealth of reserves. However, to a certain extent, after taking over the Middle East and Southeast Asia, and even in the future, the wealth of Central Asia is really the same as the troubles that may arise. Basically, it is unlikely to attract China, and this area is cheaper than the Bolsheviks.

In the eyes of other senior management, this is more far away and may take more time. Stalin goes from here, so that's fine. Stalin is very familiar with Central Asia. He almost naturally thinks of Azerbaijan, which is his hometown, but now Azerbaijan is in the hands of Germany. Although walking from Central Asia will bypass the former Russian heavy army camps, launch a revolution, collect wealth and strengthen itself, and when their strength has advanced to a certain extent, they will go further. The economy determines the superstructure, which is established after they come to China.

Not only did the Bolsheviks receive more complete military training in China, Stalin even joined the Northwest Military Academy and listened for at least one year. His knowledge was completely different from before. In the method mentioned by the instructors of the military academy, the method of using the countryside to surround the city and finally achieve victory, from the initial doubts to the subsequent recognition, he went through a considerable mental journey. For him, Russia's vast land was just right for him. Although, at this moment, what is more important to him is in Moscow, where the surging revolution is in full swing, he must be prepared to fail and lay a deeper foundation for the future Russia.
