Chapter 1297: Survive the Light
After all, the leader of the Russian Labor Party regime is very capable, especially in terms of the overall situation. For the safety of the new regime, he can offer chips that will make the Allies excited.
Although this was considered an act of "treason" by the former Russian government, from a realistic perspective, Russia's current leadership is not seeking change in Russia alone, but a change that will sweep the entire world.
This has to do with the early thinking of the world's labor parties and their attitude towards the state. The labor parties' struggles were mainly based on class-based hostility, and the state was a tool of class rule. So now the ideal of the Russian Labor Party is ultimately to eliminate the "state" as an organizational form.
Therefore, at this stage, the Russian Labor Party is not just "Russian", but an international party with the world pattern as its dimension.
From this perspective, the Russian Labor Party had no psychological burden in ceding large tracts of territory in order to withdraw from World War I. After all, what they wanted was to preserve the "spark" of world change and avoid the mistakes of Paris before.
Of course, this is the mainstream perception of the Russian Labor Party at present, which is idealistic. Some of them are definitely still holding narrow perceptions such as "nationalism" and "statism".
On the contrary, the latter is not what feudal monarchs like Ernst fear. After all, East Africa is essentially this kind of country. The big government and extreme "Rhine" nationalism promoted in East Africa are of this type.
In short, Ernst believed that the Allies would inevitably negotiate peace with the Russian Labor Party, which would make it even less likely for other countries to interfere in Russia's internal affairs.
For example, the failure of the Paris Labor Party last time can be attributed to the fact that they did not have such a good opportunity as Russia. Facing the joint encirclement of Prussia and their own country, they were eventually strangled.
After hearing what Ernst said, Ambassador Baranov became depressed.
At this time, it was simply a daydream to expect the Allies to help Russia quell the rebellion. After all, as former enemies, the Allies hated the previous Tsarist government and the Russian Provisional Government.
Although the Allies also hated the Russian Labor Party, they hated the Tsarist government and the Provisional Government who insisted on the war even more.
Throughout the Eastern Front, Russia deployed nearly 10 million troops, causing heavy casualties to the Allies. If it weren't for Russia, Germany and Austria would have already dealt with Britain and France.
Baranov naturally knew the truth behind this, but he still said sincerely: "Your Majesty, the situation in Russia is now very critical. I still hope that your country can do its utmost to eliminate the rebellious party in Russia."
“As I have said before, the Labour Party is not just a threat to Russia, but a threat to the whole world. If they succeed, it is very likely to set off a countercurrent around the world, and eventually threaten East Africa.”
Faced with this world-changing force that can confiscate property and behead people, all reactionary forces in the world are afraid, but Ernst is an exception.
If it weren't for his experience in his previous life, Ernst might have been afraid of the Russian Labor Party. However, it was precisely because of his knowledge in his previous life that Ernst did not believe that the Russian Labor Party could succeed. Such a regime would sooner or later fail to withstand the test of human nature and become corrupt, unless a capable and ruthless person like Vladimir or Joseph appeared.
Of course, although the prospects of the Russian Labor Party are not promising, East Africa must also be on guard, especially to resist the impact of its powerful ideological output before it becomes corrupt.
So Ernst said: "Ambassador Baranov, you can rest assured that we in East Africa will never agree with the Labor Party's ideas. Next, our government will contact the United States and other countries to jointly deal with the threat of the Russian Labor Party."
"Of course, we in East Africa can only do our best. As I said before, East Africa is out of reach of Russia, and Britain and Germany probably won't trust us too much."
"So whether you can finally take back the national power depends on your own people uniting together. Now you should put aside your prejudices and jointly deal with the Russian Labor Party, your mortal enemy."
What Ernst was referring to were naturally the three reactionary forces of Russia's aristocracy, bureaucracy and capitalists. If they could unite, they might be able to put out the flames of Russia.
At this time, Russia still had a large number of areas controlled by these reactionary forces. They had money, troops, and territory. The only thing they lacked was leadership to integrate these resources.
Ernst's statement naturally aroused the gratitude of Ambassador Baranov. After all, at this time, Baranov and other Russian political forces still held the mentality that they had the upper hand.
They didn't know how powerful the opponent they would face next would be. After all, the Russian Labor Party could unite the majority of people in Russia, while the Baranov side had fewer people and were cunning. Ernst was not optimistic about their performance next.
Of course, Ernst would never say such words that were not conducive to the unity of imperialism in front of Baranov.
Not to mention the current corrupt situation in Russia, even countries like East Africa, which currently have relatively stable societies, would probably find it difficult to face the ideological invasion of the Labor Party. Moreover, Ernst was actually unwilling to destroy the Russian Labor Party to a certain extent.
Although he was a typical feudal monarch, Ernst was well aware of the truth that "If there is no law at home and the people are discordant, and if there is no enemy abroad and there are external threats, the country will always perish."
The Russian Labor Party regime can play the role of "enemy foreign invasion" very well, thereby forcing the development of East Africa.
In fact, throughout history, the most difficult problem to solve in reforms is the problem of the group of people in the middle of the pyramid. They form a powerful collective that cannot be moved from above or lifted from below. The reforms of Alexander II are a typical example.
Unless someone puts a knife to their necks, they will suddenly have a "conscience" only when they feel the threat of death, but that is only when the knife is at their necks.
With the Russian Labor Party as a weapon, Ernst will be able to adjust his East African policies in the future, just like the United States did during the Cold War.
Of course, the degree must be controlled well, otherwise the knife would first chop off Ernst's head.
Therefore, Ernst had already begun to think about how to use the Russian Labor Party while being wary of its infiltration into East Africa. This could be considered a way of keeping the "enemy" to protect himself.
After all, Ernst, this feudal remnant, still has a little pitiful "conscience". After all, if East Africa wants to stabilize its regime, it can only continue to develop, and development cannot remain unchanged. Even an imperialist country like East Africa must learn to keep pace with the times.
With the experience of his previous life, Ernst naturally knew how to deal with the Russian Labor Party regime. After all, the United States had already provided a model in his previous life. So after sorting out his thoughts, Ernst still believed that the Russian Labor Party was not scary.
As long as East Africa can survive the scorching sun of the early days of the Russian Labor Party regime, it will always be able to wait for its dusk and finally usher in its darkness and survive the light. At that time, the Russian Labor Party will naturally pose no threat. Of course, at that time Ernst would rather call it a red imperialist country.
Ernst said: "Before that, Ambassador Baranov, you'd better get in touch with other countries. After all, East Africa wants to help Russia, but other countries may not see it that way."
"And Crown Prince Alexei, the three of you should continue to stay in East Africa for the time being! It won't be too late to return home after the dust finally settles in Russia."
This could be considered a kind reminder from Ernst. After all, Alexei, Maria and Anastasia were registered with the Russian Labor Party. If they returned to Russia at this time, they would only end up dead.
The third sister, Princess Maria, naturally did not know what Ernst was thinking. What she was most worried about at the moment was the safety of her parents and sisters. As for the safety of the Russian Empire, it was what she had to consider from beginning to end.
She said with a slightly choked voice: "Your Majesty, what about my father and his family? Please help my father and his family escape from Russia."
Facing the helpless Russian princess, Ernst could only comfort her: "Of course there is no problem. We will send people to rescue Nicholas II and his men as much as possible. Of course, the final result will be determined by God."
