Struggle in Russia

Li Xiao doesn't mean to be angry at all, not only because he can understand the thoughts of people like Vishniak, but more importantly, he has self-knowledge. The ability is average, and the willpower is also average. Even if he is familiar with the history books and knows the direction of history, this does not mean that he will be able to deal with all kinds of dissatisfaction after time travel. If he is so awesome, why bother to time travel? Wouldn't it be nice if the original space-time flexed its muscles and became a blockbuster?

Anyway, he doesn't have the kind of thinking that he thinks he's awesome. The most indispensable thing in this world is all kinds of geniuses. Even in the backward time and space, these geniuses have amazing performances. Why does he look down on others as a nobody? People are smarter than you, harder than you, and more perseverant than you, so you can be proud of the world just because you came from time travel? I really think the goddess of luck is your own mother!

Li Xiao's positioning of himself is very accurate, he eats as much as he likes, leaves professional matters to professional people, and he must do everything by himself. , unite all the talents that can be united, and use the historical vision of the traverser to be a leader.

So Li Xiao naturally doesn't expect Vishniakna to bow to him with just a few words. Go all out or follow you? You don't say to show some brilliant achievements, the blueprint planning prospect must be seen, right?

Naturally, Li Xiao can't produce high-quality performance now. After all, his status as a grand duke is too embarrassing, and it would be a failure if he took it out, so he can only talk about the long-term plan:

"If you want to do something, you must first have someone. No one is talking about everything! So our first thing now is to unite a group of people who are willing to work with us. This is the most important thing at the moment, and there is no one!"

Boris couldn't hear it clearly, and thought it made sense, but with his IQ, he just felt it made sense, but he couldn't tell how it made sense. But Vishniak is different, his IQ is still online, he lazily interrupted: "I said, the centrists of the 748 regiment will not be able to help you for the time being, Grand Duke, can you say something useful Yes, this is nonsense, okay?"

"This is not nonsense!" Li Xiao corrected seriously, "And what I just said about uniting people doesn't just refer to frustrated parties like you. I don't need any help."

Vishniak finally became interested and asked, "Then who are you referring to?"

However, Li Xiao made a fool of himself and asked, "Which group has the most people in the 748 regiment?"

Vishniak said in amazement: "My God, you're not talking about those scum, are you?"

Li Xiao snapped his fingers and imitated his previous tone: "Bingo! Those are the guys!"

Vishniak burst out laughing, and sneered: "Your Excellency, are you really stupid or just pretending to be stupid? Didn't someone tell you what those scumbags look like? Unite them? What's the use of uniting a group of useless rabble? Waste Food?"

Boris thought for a while and agreed: "The group of guys are really bad. They don't stand or sit. They look more like beggars than soldiers. It's useless!"

Li Xiao sighed in his heart, this is the pain of the traveler, the vision beyond the times can easily be regarded as a lunatic and a fool. Even elites like Vishniak are still limited by the times and cannot see the power of the masses. They always feel that the masses at the bottom are uneducated, low-quality, do not understand various advanced doctrines, have no revolutionary beliefs and pursuits, and can only be driven passively without any effect.

And Li Xiao has seen the greatness of the power of the masses. Take the Russian Revolution as an example. The Decembrists, Narodnaya Volya Party, and Socialist Revolutionaries have struggled for decades and failed to do well.

Why did the Bolsheviks change their minds when they raised their arms? The key reason is to fully mobilize the masses and unite the most powerful forces of Russian society around themselves. What else can't be done?

If we can broadly mobilize unity and educate the masses well, then the power will be inexhaustible. The so-called elites like Vishniak have not realized this at all. They only think that there are problems in the Russian society, and they know that they need to change, but they are at a loss as to how to change it. They were so naive as to completely pin their hopes on the tsar, thinking that they could rely on the tsar to carry out a top-down reform.

But previous history has proved that this path is unworkable. The progressive nobles in Russia during the Alexander I period had already realized that there were problems in the country and knew that reforms were needed. Even Alexander I himself had this awareness.

So the reform was put on the agenda, and the famous Earl Speranski became the leader of the reform, and introduced a series of reform measures, such as the establishment of the serf system reform committee, such as the promulgation of "Introduction to National Law in 1809", "National Code of 1809" Draft, ready to take the Western path of constitutional monarchy and separation of powers.

The results of it? Under various obstructions from the anti-conservatives, this reform basically failed, and even Count Speranski himself, who was in power for a while, was rushed to Siberia to repair the earth.

Later, Alexander II also had to reform, and it was also a top-down reform. What happened? give up halfway! In the late stage of this majesty, he directly turned around and turned around, making all the achievements of a reform that was not considered thorough in the first place come to naught.

Therefore, it is simply impossible to carry out top-down reforms in Russia and only rely on a few progressive elites to do things well. Because the power of those few elites is too weak, compared with the huge conservative forces, they are not worth mentioning at all. They can still do one or two things when they are endorsed by the Tsar. stop.

To truly change Russia, the only way is to fully mobilize and mobilize the broad masses, use the power of the masses to destroy those decadent and backward opposition groups, and completely drive them out of the stage of history. Only in this way can success be achieved!

Li Xiao is very clear-headed, he will not follow the old path of those "predecessors" who failed, and he does not want to do useless work and waste time and energy on Alexander II. Therefore, he attaches great importance to the power of the masses, and believes that the historical experience of those "predecessors" who succeeded later can be absorbed and used, so letting go and mobilizing the masses is the only feasible way to break the situation in his poor and white situation. Do it!

Of course, the problem now is that he has to convince people like Vishniak, after all, he alone cannot mobilize a few people.
