On September 13, 1919, the World Alliance publicly announced its intervention in the Russian Civil War, sending 850,000 troops and forming the World Allied Forces to declare war on Soviet Russia.
Upon the announcent, the news spread like wildfire, instantaneously sweeping across the entire world and becoming a hot topic among people worldwide, including Russia, the party directly involved.
As for the Russians’ own attitude, the current state of the Russian Civil War has clearly delineated the supporters of Tsarist Russia and Soviet Russia.
Soviet Russia, founded by the Workers’ Party, has won the favor of the vast majority of Russian workers, with the working classes being their strongest supporters.
On the other hand, Tsarist Russia, which has absorbed the bourgeoisie, still enjoys the support of common people, who do not wish to add any more twists to their already chaotic lives. As long as they have enough food to eat, they remain submissive to the governnt.
It is worth ntioning that aside from the vast majority of workers and peasants, most of the nobility and bourgeoisie also prefer to support Tsarist Russia.
Of course, this does not an that the system of Tsarist Russia is more advanced or that the prestige of Tsar Nicholas II is much higher.
It is simply that, in comparison to the Soviet regi established by the Workers’ Alliance, the bourgeoisie and the nobility would rather see the Tsar continue to rule the nations; at least in the chaotic Russian society, they can still exploit the common people as superior beings.
Under the influence of various classes, the situation in Eastern Europe has beco more favorable for Soviet Russia, as the region is ho to a large number of workers, giving Soviet Russia an advantage.
The situation in Russia has shifted from a North-South struggle to an East-West struggle, with Soviet Russia gradually gaining control of half of Eastern Europe while Tsarist Russia’s influence moves towards Northern Europe and Asia.
Frankly, the vast influence of Soviet Russia on the working classes is the real reason why the British Empire is determined to intervene militarily in the Russian Civil War.
In any industrialized country, there are a large number of workers. Most industrialized countries are primarily capitalist in nature, which inherently creates so conflict of interest with the workers.
If the ideology of Soviet Russia expands outward, the whole of Europe could face a revolution, which is sothing almost all European countries do not want to see.
Even republics like France, which are essentially capitalist countries, are still susceptible to the impact of Soviet consensus.
After officially deciding to intervene militarily in the Russian Civil War, the countries of the World Alliance did not hesitate, each preparing their own troops and fleets, ready to swiftly put an end to the Soviet Russia antagonist in Europe.
The World Alliance has an overwhelming advantage in naval power, not to ntion the army.
The British Empire has deployed its native fleet, along with the French diterranean Fleet and the Italian Fleet, to blockade the Baltic Sea and the Black Sea, cutting off all Russian seaports.
Small countries like Denmark, Belgium, the Netherlands, Romania, and Greece have their fleets acting like patrol fleets, responsible for patrolling the seas, preventing Russian fleets from sneaking out.
To express their support for Tsarist Russia, the World Alliance provided Nicholas II with a batch of free weapons and equipnt, ensuring that Tsarist Russia could hold on until the intervention force arrived.
It would be a big joke if Tsarist Russia couldn’t hold on until the arrival of the World Alliance forces.
The good news is that Russian naval forces, after experiencing multiple periods of chaos, are not only yearning for repair but are also terribly disorganized in terms of internal governance, making it impossible for them to cause any disruption to the World Alliance at sea.
As for the currently embattled Tsarist Russian and Soviet Russian forces, their actual combat capabilities are far inferior to those of other European countries.
No jest is made here, as their oversights in the civil war seem serious, but in reality, both armies possess various fatal flaws.
Although Tsarist Russia’s army has the support of military equipnt from Australasia and the World Alliance, they are composed of World War I veterans who have long been weary of war.
After experiencing World War I, the bourgeois rebellion, the Soviet Russia uprising, and the Tsar’s seizure of power, they are overco with deep-seated exhaustion.
In other words, their war involvent period has been longer than anyone else’s, as they have been engaged in war since the outbreak of World War I.
Under such circumstances, the combat effectiveness of Tsarist Russia’s army has significantly decreased. Moreover, Nicholas II does not trust these troops, which had once served under the bourgeois Provisional Governnt, and instead equips most weapons and equipnt to his own loyal forces.
There is no need to elaborate on the absolute crush of the navy, while on land, the number of Tsarist Russian troops and Soviet Russian troops has reached a ratio of one million to 1.2 million.
Considering the World Alliance’s 850,000-strong force, Tsarist Russia has taken the lead in army numbers.
In fact, after facing the thorough blockade of the World Alliance, Soviet Russia’s strength is relatively weak.
If it were not for seizing so weapons and equipnt after defeating Tsarist Russia, they would have struggled even to arm one person.
Even under these circumstances, the weapons used by so of the Soviet Russian soldiers are old and almost retired, and the real combat effectiveness they can exhibit on the battlefield is doubtful.
