Iron Cross Fire

While the Allies were waiting for reinforcements, a rare peace appeared in the Caucasus, with almost no gunfire.

However, that was only the situation in the east. Other places were still fighting fiercely, and both sides exchanged opinions desperately.

The Russian army had no advantage in the battle. No matter where, it could not play its numerical advantage, and the number of ammunition was also in danger.

It was only better in the east, but the local army moved slower than a turtle and could not occupy the north of the Caucasus for a long time.

A few days ago, the Tsar was very angry and extremely sad when he learned that the British and French forces withdrew from Gallipoli, thinking that the war was hopeless.

But the war had to go on. The awakened Russian army quickly made overall deployment, reduced the garrison in the Caucasus, relied on the mountains to take a defensive position, and deployed the main force in Poland to take the offensive.

The Russians found that Austria-Hungary was really easy to fight. The diverse ethnic groups made their communication full of obstacles, and the failed command made their actions difficult.

Therefore, Russia hopes to strike a fatal blow and drive Austria-Hungary back through a fierce attack to relieve the pressure from all places.

But this is not an ordinary difficulty. No matter how weak Austria-Hungary is, it is still a great power. Even if there are many internal contradictions, it is not so easy to fight.

In addition, the heavy blockade of Russia by the Allies has made its domestic resources extremely scarce. Bank closures, factory strikes, and business closures are common. These are all burdens tied to Russia's legs, making it extremely difficult for it to take every step towards the outside world.

Fortunately, the Austro-Hungarian army is as weak as ever, and the Caucasus has not been counterattacked by Kuster, otherwise the whole of Russia will fall into serious turmoil.

As for why Kuster did not launch an attack, in addition to waiting for reinforcements, he also wanted Russia to think that the Caucasus would not launch an attack, and launch a large-scale attack after the troops were transferred away.

But this is just an excuse for him to fool others. The German emperor asked him to attack again and again, but he was fooled by this.

In fact, he wanted to attack the Russian Communist Party. In the past few days, he had been communicating with Russian subordinates, trying to disrupt the actions of the Russian Communist Party and tell the Russian high-level officials about their actions.

The Germans, as information transfer stations, thought it was nothing, anti-communism! This is a good general of imperialism.

Some people who believed in Marx saw through Kuster's intentions and began to constantly remind comrades far away in Eastern Europe that their actions were exposed. At the same time, they attacked Kuster's reputation underground and handed over his offensive direction directly to the Russian military.

However, they might have good intentions but bad intentions. Since Kuster distributed the Caucasus, he never told his superiors his true intentions, let alone what he was going to do.

The Russian high-level officials were helpless when they saw the pile of documents. They were busy enough, and now they had to deal with so many things, which was almost exhausting.

Russian officials were busy and exhausted, but in the end, only a few Communists were caught, and the Caucasus never won a victory.

Some people who were tortured to the brink of collapse behaved in a ridiculous way. They actually thought they could pry out information from the mouths of the Communists. As a result, all the Russian Communists did not reveal a word until they died.

Kuster's move of driving the tiger to devour the wolf was very vicious. He took advantage of the Tsarist Russia's hatred of the Communists and the unity of the Communist Party. On the surface, he wanted to go to war with two forces at the same time, but in fact, he let them fight each other, which greatly hit the efficiency of Russian administration and the status of the Russian Communist Party.

And he just chatted with people casually and released some false information to make the Russian political arena turbulent, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

But this was not enough. Kuster did everything he could to prevent the Russian Communist Party from coming to power, and even promoted anarchism in Russia, which was more extreme than extreme, and it was correct and advanced.

Combined with the logical rhetoric of anarchism and the efforts of Makhno (one of the leaders of Russian anarchism), many people successfully joined.

[Anarchism logically believes that people are born with rights, rights create classes, and classes breed contradictions. Since it is impossible to eradicate rights, the only way to resolve the contradiction is to eradicate classes (don't eradicate humans, that would be even crazier than the Ans). This set of rhetoric seems self-consistent, but actual actions are another matter. 】

As anarchism expands, more violent incidents occur. The increasingly inefficient Russian government gradually cannot cope with it, and Makhno, who was originally sentenced to life imprisonment, was exiled overseas.

Kuster personally sent someone to call Makhno to him, hoping that he could lead the future of Russia.

The most prestigious generals of the Allies came to support him, making Makhno think he was the liberator of Russia.

At the same time, the entire meeting was conducted in secret, which made Makhno mistakenly think that it was Kuster's shortcoming, and he could use this to threaten him later.

But in fact, this was just an illusion Kuster gave him. Even if he was looking for trouble, Kuster would bite it to death, and Makhno would not be able to find a handle anyway.

Why did Kuster go to great lengths to suppress the Communist Party? I'm afraid he himself didn't know.

Somehow, he, who was born into a capitalist family, seemed to always be full of awe for Marxism, an innate disgust.

But it must be said that the firm belief of those Communists is daunting, which makes many people who admire them join in.

Once the valve that hinders the Communist Party is opened, the blood flow will quickly spread to the whole world, unstoppable.

The self-proclaimed guardians of the bourgeoisie will definitely not tolerate this happening, and will do their best to stop it, which is why communism has always been at a disadvantage.

Poor people can read Capital, but capitalists can read it even better. Capitalists have plenty of time to read, while poor people are busy with their lives all day and don't read at all.

So most of the leaders of communism are the middle class who are dissatisfied with the current social situation, as well as the poor who are strong-willed. Of course, there are a few capitalists with conscience who abandon their money and join the ranks of revolution.

These people unite and, after a long period of development, will sooner or later form an extremely powerful force.

In the end, more and more people are inspired by them to gain ideas and humanity, and establish a force that can compete with capitalism.

However, the development of capitalism was hundreds of years earlier, and the wealth plundered during this period was extremely huge. The newly established Communist Party was no match at all.

But out of the great ideal of liberating the world, they did not forget to fight for the interests of the general public even when they were in danger of being stabbed in the back by the bourgeoisie at any time, and finally the 8-hour work system was born, which the workers dared not even think about before.

Kuster respected their ideals, but was also afraid that they would take away their rights, so he had to hit these people hard.

But he always felt that someone would destroy it all. This person was not an outsider, but a person related to him by blood. To put it bluntly... it was his son.
