Equipping the Beiyang Army

The Russian Civil War, as it was now being called across the world, was being closely observed by the other major powers. France had initially decided to supply the Red Army in a bid to screw with the German volunteers sent there, as well as to replace the Russian Tsar and its monarchy with a government more suited towards cooperation with the Third French Republic. 

Of course, this immediately backfired after they tried to assassinate Bruno, only for the Red Army to take the blame for it. Marxism had quickly become the enemy of the world, and it was no exception in France where the death of the French Chief of Staff was also blamed on local Marxist organizations, as German Foreign Intelligence had framed local Marxist groups perfectly in this regard.
