After Lenin returned to St. Petersburg with the Bushrwick Party, Edel paid close attention to the situation in Russia. In fact, European countries are paying attention to the situation in Russia, but none of them thought that Russia would leave the battlefield in an unexpected way.

After the Bushehrvik Party returned to St. Petersburg and repelled the rebellious Third Cavalry Army, General Kornilov was released as the source of the rebellion. As a compromise agreement between the two sides, Kornilov went to calm the mood of the Third Cavalry Army in exchange for his escape from prison.

Anton Ivanovich Denikin, who was mistakenly believed to be a member of the chief of the general staff, was also released along with him. So the unlucky General Denikin had to leave the post of Chief of Staff and become General Kornilov as a real deputy.

After the rebellion problem was resolved, the military power of St. Petersburg was gradually controlled by the Bushehrvik Party. At this time, the senior officials of the Provisional Government who had discovered that things were not quite right, planned to make a fuss about the Soviet regime. Soviet; means "meeting of representatives" or "conference". This is because during the Russian Revolution of 1905, there was a conference of representatives organized by strikers as strike committees, called "Soviets" for short.

Soviet is a transliteration of Russian совет (English: soviet), which means conference of representatives. Originated in the Russian Revolution in 1905, it was a form of direct democracy for workers and soldiers at that time. Its representatives could be elected and replaced at any time, implying the Paris Commune-style form of power.

In the earliest Soviet government, Mensheviks and other left-wing parties played a major role. Among them, Plekhanov was the chairman of the Soviet Union, Kerensky was the vice chairman of the Socialist Revolutionary Party, and the Bushrwick Party played little role in it. But after the interim government was reorganized for the first time, the Mensheviks and the Social Revolutionary Party and others focused their energy on the interim government.

They all hope that by participating in the interim government, they will gradually transform into a left-wing government model. I have to say that they almost succeeded. After the Kornilov rebellion was quelled, the interim government reorganized the government cabinet for the third time on July 29. This time, most of the temporary government formed by the cabinet are members of left-wing political parties, and the "government of all-socialists" that the Bolsheviks once advocated will soon be realized.

At this time, these left-wing parties discovered that Bushehrvik had taken the Soviets into their own hands, and that the force that allowed Bushehrvik to control the Soviets came from the soldiers. In the non-universal Soviets at that time, the soldiers had more than ten times the voting power of the workers (there were only the "Soviets of Workers and Soldiers' Deputies", and the peasants were not counted), and the Mensheviks' dominance in the Soviets was replaced by the Bolsheviks.

At this time, the Bolshevik Party had basically infiltrated the military forces around St. Petersburg. In addition to guarding the Winter Palace and other places where there are still armed forces loyal to the government, the Bolshevik Party has completely controlled the military forces in St. Petersburg. Now only the Bolshevik Party needs to wave its arms gently, and this ripe fruit will fall into its hands. But at this time, there were other voices in the Bolshevik Party.

Zinoviev and Kamenev opposed Lenin's plan for armed seizure of power. The main reason was that they not only verbally opposed it, but also informed the Provisional Government of the time of the armed seizure of power in the Bolsheviks. Lenin, who had been busy for the Bolsheviks to seize the supreme power in Russia, almost vomited blood after hearing the news of the two informants. So he hurried to discuss with Trosky, Dzerzhinsky and others.

At this time, it is impossible to retreat, and everyone only discussed a way to launch it in advance. So on August 19, 1917, the Bolshevik-led revolution began. At this time, the number of troops loyal to the Provisional Government in St. Petersburg was less than 30,000, and the Bolsheviks organized an army of 200,000 (but most of them were workers, even if the workers were deducted were more than twice the provisional government).

Many soldiers in the provisional government army were shaken by the military, which also had a lot to do with the unconditional peace talks propagated by the Bolsheviks. Because the largest anti-war group in Russia at that time was soldiers, the Bolsheviks' slogans touched the hearts of these soldiers. So before the battle, the Bolshevik army had the advantage.

Lenin secretly came to Smolny Palace, the headquarters of the uprising, and personally led the armed uprising. From the night of August 19 to the morning of August 20, 1917, more than 200,000 soldiers and rebel workers quickly occupied various strategic locations in Petrograd.

The insurgent troops occupied the General Post Office at 1 am on the 20th. At 2 o'clock the Baltic railway station and Nikolaevsky railway station were captured. Then the lighting circuit of the government building was shut down, and the telephone exchange cut off most of the telephones of the interim government and headquarters. At about 6 o'clock, the Red Guards, soldiers and sailors had already occupied the Imperial Palace Bridge. Except for the Palace Square and the Isakievska Square area ~lightnovelpub.net~, almost all other areas are in the hands of the insurgents.

The Interim Prime Minister Kerensky ran away in a car in the U.S. Embassy. At 10 o'clock, the Revolutionary Military Committee circulated Lenin's "Report to a Russian Citizen", announcing that the interim government had been overthrown and the power had been transferred to the Soviets.

As for the scene of the attack on the Winter Palace, according to the gossip, there were no armed conflicts near the Winter Palace that night. There was only one women’s camp and one non-commissioned officer’s camp guarding the Winter Palace, and it was soon affected by the crowd Surrender. The defense chief of the Winter Palace, Palczynski, opened the gate of the Winter Palace himself and took them to the place where the interim government ministers were meeting.

The Aurora cruiser is undergoing an overhaul, with no ammunition and no personnel. Bereshev, the political commissar of the temporarily appointed Aurora, only fired a few empty rounds (without warheads) at the Winter Palace. On the night of the uprising, the Petrograd Military Revolutionary Committee issued a "Notice on the Overthrow of the Provisional Government" stating that the uprising "was won without a drop of blood."

This made Edel, who was waiting for a good show, a little wrong, and said that the **** battle of the Winter Palace defeated the Provisional Government, how could it become like this.

However, after putting down the telegram from the Romanian Embassy in St. Petersburg, Edel needed to step up preparations for the army, because according to his estimation, due to time deviations, Russia would withdraw from the war before 1918. This time there is no The severe cold weather dragged it down.
