Beiyang 1917

From July 1918, 7 to July 17 at 7:19 midnight, in three days, Soviet Russia withdrew all Soviet Red Army, Red Guards, workers' pickets, local Soviet government officials and their families from the south of Saratov , all the northbound trains were full, and ordinary people who leaned towards the Bolsheviks could not get on the trains. .Free e-book download

Most people can only drag their families and drive their carriages to the north. All the roads are full and slow like snails. The advance detachment of the Volga Federal Autonomous Government has been in the Soviet Union since July 7th. Accompanied or under surveillance by liaison officers from fu, they entered the major cities and towns in Saratov Voronieri Kursk and the south.

The advance detachment of the Volga Federation is composed of armored and cavalry units of the coalition forces. In order to seize time, Sun Liangcheng's First Armored Division stationed in Samara undertook the main task of dispatching troops, assisted by the First Ural Cavalry Division and the Japanese Fourth Cavalry Regiment However, the task of this advance detachment is not to fight, but to supervise the northward withdrawal of Soviet Russia, and to hand over and maintain local law and order.

At the same time, it is also the guard of honor for the commissioner representatives of the Volga Federal Autonomous Government. Although the Pepeliayev Autonomous Government is far short of manpower, most of the commissioner representatives are drawn from the Russian troops in the coalition forces come.

The advance detachment stationed in Saratov-Voroneri Kursk is basically regiment-level, a Chinese armored battalion, a Russian cavalry battalion, a Japanese cavalry squadron, and a logistics battalion equipped with Dodge trucks.

The criss-crossing and well-developed Russian railway network on the left bank of Volga, coupled with the highest priority for railway use, enabled the advance detachment of the Volga Federal Autonomous Government to enter the major cities that needed to be accepted in the shortest possible time. As for small and medium-sized cities and villages, it took less than ten days After half a month of tossing, I couldn't move in.

Of course, to spread the word to the people on this land that the time has come to change the day, there is a faster way. The planes of the coalition air force dropped countless leaflets over the 94 square kilometers of cities and villages, The leaflet uses three languages: Russian, Chinese, and Japanese.

This leaflet tells all the people on this land that according to the formal peace treaty reached with the Soviet Russian government, this place already belongs to the newly established Volga Federation, and all the people on this land who are willing to join the Volga Federation will have their Personal safety and private property are protected by the Volga Federal Government.

The leaflet specifically emphasized that all the land, houses, factories, and mines on this land that were previously confiscated by the Soviets will be returned to the original property owners by the Volga Federal Government. At the same time, Saratov on the left bank of the Volga Like other states in the Volga Federation, Voronezh, Kursk and Tsaritsyn regions will implement the "[-] Rent Reduction Regulations" and the "Volga Federation Land Management Measures" at the same time.

The leaflet also stated that since the war in Europe has not yet ended, the administration of the Volga Federation will implement the wartime management method of integrating military and government in the short term. The federal government encourages famous and capable locals to take the initiative to join the federal government. Register and apply to become a civil servant to help federal governments at all levels serve the federal people better.

In addition to announcing that the federal government will return the land and property confiscated by the Soviets to the original owners, the Volga Federation’s policy of exempting all land taxes within three years and the decree that the government monopolizes grain have surprised the Russian people who have changed their new owners. Also hi, not having to hand over food to the government is obviously an unprecedented good governance.

But many people are also wondering, if the farmers' grain can only be purchased by the federal government in the future, will the government lower the purchase price too low, which is equivalent to the original Soviet surplus grain collection system?And if urban residents want to buy grain from Zheng Fu's grain store, will the retail price be raised too high to overwhelm the urban residents who eat commodity grain?

The way for the Volga Federation government to dispel the doubts of the common people is the tried-and-tested food stamp policy east of the Ural Mountains. Farmers hand over grain to the purchase point of the government. In addition to exchanging the purchase price for grain sales, they can also choose to exchange for real-name grain stamps , indicating the type, grade, and quantity of the grain to be sold.

With this real-name food voucher, farmers can avoid the uncertainty brought about by food price fluctuations in the future. Then you can use this food coupon to exchange 100 kilograms of wheat from Zheng Fu’s grain depot at any time. This is actually a grain bank established by Zheng Fu. Farmers deposit their grain in it. Although there is no interest, it can guarantee that the grain will not be lost. .

Of course, when farmers hand in grain for sale, 102 kilograms of wheat can be exchanged for 100 kilograms of food coupons. The extra 2% paid is storage loss and storage fees. Said, absolutely acceptable.

As for the landlords and rich people, due to the existence of the class struggle between the Soviets and the Bolsheviks, most of the landlords and rich peasants in Soviet Russia were completely wiped out, and a small number were exiled to remote areas after being deprived and confiscated everything. Hard labor in concentration camps and labor camps in the extreme north of the belt.

In late July 1918, most of the peasants who survived to see the arrival of the Volga Federation government and army were middle peasants and poor peasants below the rich peasants. Like the three-year exemption from land tax, it has become an unprecedented good governance imposed by the government.

Coupled with the deterrent force of the advance detachment of the coalition armed to the teeth behind the government of the Volga Federation, the security situation in Saratov and other places quickly stabilized, and the mood of the common people was also cautious with great expectations. Half-ripe, if in autumn all the harvested grains belong to the farmers themselves, the farmers will be so happy and terrified that they don't know whether to be happy or worried.

Those Soviet government officials and political commissar instructors at all levels, including those Bolshevik activists, waved their fists and threatened their fellow villagers when they hurriedly retreated northward, "Wait, the rabbits of the Volga Federation have long tails! No, you just plant the land obediently, and wait for us to come back and kill you all! Just wait and see!" Threats like this and so on.

For these Russian farmers who have become citizens of the Volga Federation, they have absolute confidence in farming. The lower reaches of the Volga River have always been the food base of the whole of Russia. The land is fertile and rainy. There will not be a large-scale food shortage. As long as the land is not left uncultivated, is it possible that no food can be grown under such unique natural conditions?

Of course, when farmers sell grain, if they choose to receive money, the beautiful Chinese banknotes, Zhongyuan, are the first choice. Since the new ruble of the Volga Federation government has not yet been issued, or may not be issued at all, the Zhongyuan from China has become The hardest currency in circulation in 1918.

For the new citizens of the Volga Federation, if the government issues federal rubles by itself, the common people will not believe it and accept it for a while. Who knows how long your Volga Federation government can exist? If the Allied forces retreat in the future Well, your newly established Volga Federation might have been destroyed by Soviet Russia from the north, or eaten by the Don River White Guards from the south.

It is better to use the Chinese yuan. On the one hand, the Sino-Japanese alliance has become a very important force and influence in the Allies. It is obviously out of reach to cross the ocean to the United States, but it is only a journey of more than 1000 kilometers along the Trans-Siberian Railway to the east of the Ural Mountains to escape.

For citizens and workers in large and medium-sized cities such as Saratov, Voronezh, Kursk, and Tsaritsyn who stayed passively or actively, the solution to the food problem also depends on the food coupons issued by the federal government. For federal civil servants, citizens, and remaining workers, half of their salaries are paid in cash and half in food stamps, and the amount of food on the food stamps is no less than the food stamps obtained by an adult healthy worker through a day's work , enough to feed a family of two elderly people, a wife and two children.

An adult worker can support a family of six. This is the bright future that Wang Geng painted for the working class on this land in West Siberia and the Volga Federation, just like the "8 Rent Reduction Regulations" and "Land Management Measures" If it was his weapon to compete with the Soviets for the support of the peasants, then the wages and food security for a worker to feed a family of 6 through [-] hours of work a day were used by Wang Geng to compete with the Soviets and the Bolsheviks for the working class powerful weapon.

In Wang Geng’s view, giving the people a living is giving the government a living. If capitalists want to keep their 100 yuan of property, they have to be willing to let the workers own 10 or 20 yuan of property, instead of being unable to survive with one or two yuan, zheng Fu gives the common people a little more living space, and the common people will support Zheng Fu and contribute to the country more and longer.

Since the major developed countries and advanced countries in this world are property owners, protecting the sanctity of private property is the most important principle. On this basis, let’s talk about the rational distribution of social resources so that most people can live first. Go on and find a way to live better. For the Russian people who experienced a huge food shortage in 1918, the rise of the Sino-Japanese Alliance, the birth of West Siberia and the Volga Federation, made people seem to see a little light in their suffering.
