The Rise Of Australasia

Chapter 504: Chapter 397: Saving Russia Plan_2



After the outbreak of World War I, Klin Francisco Kamanfski immediately realized that it was an opportunity for all revolutionary classes in Russia and the best time to overthrow Russian feudalism and monarchism. Explore more stories at m-vl_em,pyr

As a result, a large number of worker strikes were planned and executed, further destabilizing the already crisis-stricken Russian government.

"Which political parties and their main members participated in the general strike?" Tiger nodded, continuing to ask.

"The Democratic Party, the Labour Party, the Menshevik Party, the National Party. All the well-known parties participated in the planning of this general strike." After betraying his own conscience, Gwengel Jelowski surprisingly found that answering questions was not so difficult anymore, even the answers almost slipped out.

"Very good, I am satisfied with your answers, Mr. Gwengel Jelowski. Now it is time to decide how to deal with you, my dear party leader." After asking all the questions, Tiger looked at Gwengel Jelowski with a meaningful expression.

"You can deal with me any way you want, but can you spare my family? My family is innocent, and they have not participated in any reactionary activities, they are still loyal to His Majesty the Tsar." Gwengel Jelowski is not afraid of death, but the safety of his family is what he fears.

"We are not bad people, Mr. Gwengel Jelowski." Tiger said with a smile, "If you are willing to cooperate with us, then I assure you, both you and your family will be safe."

Gwengel Jelowski sighed, knowing that he had reached the deciding point for the safety of himself and his family, and said: "You tell me, sir. As long as you can guarantee the safety of my family, I am willing to cooperate with you and the government's actions."

Until now, Gwengel Jelowski still believes that Tiger and his team are the Tsarist Government's forces, aiming to eliminate the rebellion within Russia.

As the party leader of the largest reactionary party in Russia, Gwengel Jelowski had anticipated his end but never expected the Russian Government to find his hidden residence.

It should be noted that Gwengel Jelowski had bribed countless officials in Saint Petersburg of Russia. Who leaked the information?

"Nothing happened tonight, but from now on you need to inform us in advance of all strikes and other demonstrations, understood?" Tiger said with a smile.

Eliminating one Gwengel Jelowski would only bring forth another Gwengel Jelowski.

He was like a puppet of Klin Francisco Kamanfski in Russia, which could be easily supported.

Instead of doing so, it is better to infiltrate the upper echelons of the Russian reactionary party through Gwengel Jelowski, learn about all the actions planned by the Russian reactionary party, and inform Russia in advance to prepare.

Hearing that he could be let off so easily, Gwengel Jelowski widened his eyes in disbelief.

"That's all we ask, Mr. Gwengel Jelowski. I hope you are smart enough not to challenge the capabilities of our intelligence department. If any demonstration is missed, then please explain it to God." Just before leaving, Tiger threatened again with a hint of ulterior motive.

The operation far exceeded these reasons. In addition to Gwengel Jelowski, the Royal Security Intelligence Agency visited most of the main members of the Russian reactionary party and offered their cordial and friendly condolences.

For those who were more willing to cooperate, such as Gwengel Jelowski, they were released after a simple interrogation.

As for those who were less cooperative, intelligence personnel had no choice but to send them to meet God and express their loyalty to Him.

After a night of action, hundreds of intelligence personnel in Russia were dispatched and achieved quite impressive results.

Those who were forced to cooperate with the Royal Security Intelligence Agency at the upper echelons of the opposition parties could also monitor each other.

If there was any inconsistency in intelligence, it would prove that someone was lying, and that it was time for the intelligence department to take action again.

In addition to taking action in Russia, after reporting to the upper echelons, Monte Kornosov also requested the Royal Security Intelligence Agency branch in France to cooperate and go to Switzerland to express condolences to Klin Francisco Kamanfski, who was hiding behind all the demonstrations in Russia.

On February 28, 1915, the newly-appointed Chief of St. Petersburg Police Department was surprised to find a document on his desk.

The document clearly outlined a planned large-scale strike and protest in St. Petersburg and nearby cities in three days, as well as all the political parties involved in the protest.

The document also listed several high-ranking members of the participating parties and detailed information about their families.

The Chief of St. Petersburg Police Department did not dare to take any chances. Since the last workers' protest in St. Petersburg, Nicholas II had given a strict order not to let any worker strikes and protests happen in St. Petersburg again.

This meant that if this large-scale workers' strike were allowed to happen, the Chief of the Police Department would lose his position, and even a large number of officials might be implicated.

In order to ensure that the security of St. Petersburg did not have any problems, the Chief of Police Department urgently sent the document to Nicholas II's hands.

Nicholas II was furious at such a large-scale workers' strike and ordered all the police departments in St. Petersburg and nearby cities to make preparations in advance, severely punish the ringleaders, and try to appease the participants as much as possible.

In order to minimize the number of people in future large-scale strikes as much as possible, Nicholas II also ordered the distribution of a batch of free supplies to the workers in St. Petersburg and nearby cities, alleviating the dissatisfaction of the workers with practical benefits.

Of course, these supplies were deducted from the war materials provided by Britain, France, and Australia. After all, they were all used to increase Russia's fighting capacity. Since they were not their own, they were not worried about using them.

As predicted in the document, on March 3, 1915, a large-scale workers' strike broke out in St. Petersburg.

According to statistics, the number of striking workers reached 35,000 and even affected some small towns around St. Petersburg.

If it had not been for the early anticipation of the police departments and Russia's security system, this large-scale strike might have spread to many surrounding cities, with far greater impacts than it had now.

After the Russian government urgently issued supplies to appease the workers, at least half of the workers stopped participating in the strike, and the rest just followed the crowd and left immediately after being advised by the police.

The St. Petersburg Police Department effectively executed Nicholas II's orders, severely punishing the planners and trying to appease the participants as much as possible.

On March 3 alone, the St. Petersburg Police Department arrested thousands of strike "planners" and shot more than a dozen people on the spot.

Due to the large number of people involved, nearly two thousand people were imprisoned, and dozens of people were shot on the spot. This large-scale strike on March 3 was also called "Red Wednesday" by the reactionary party.

After the failure of the strike, some high-ranking members of the reactionary party, led by Gwengel Jelowski, began to advocate recuperation and wait for opportunities in secret.

With the failure of this carefully planned strike by many parties, the proposal to hide and wait for opportunities was accepted by most, and the overt crisis in Russia was temporarily resolved.

Arthur in Australasia, who received the results of the handling of the Russian strike, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At least before the end of World War I, he did not want to see Russia fall too quickly.

Russia attracted a large number of German troops on the Eastern Front for the Britain-France-Australia alliance. Australasia only needed to provide some weapons and equipment and strategic supplies and could watch the fight from the sidelines, laughing at the development of the European War.

If Russia, a major military force, were lost, not only would Britain and France face even greater losses, but Australasia would also be asked by Britain and France to send more main combat units. This would not be a good thing for Australasia.
