Dominate the Country

In a daze, Georgy seemed to hear the shouts of his relatives, and he tried to open his eyes.

Georgy, who was born in a poor family, is a filial son. His father was a veteran of the Tsarist Russia. He participated in the Second World War and fought the Chinese on the front line for nearly two years. He was promoted to corporal and won two Georgy Cross medals, one for capturing a Japanese officer and the other for being seriously injured. That serious injury kept him in the military hospital for a full six months. Then the war ended, and he fortunately returned to his hometown of Kaluga Province to work as a shoemaker, married Georgy's mother, and gave birth to Georgy and his sister.

Life in Kaluga Province was difficult. The family of four had only one house, and the house was so small that it could hardly accommodate a family of four living at the same time. But it is better to be squeezed to death than to freeze to death. When he was a child, Georgy studied in a church elementary school. After graduating from elementary school, his father took him to St. Petersburg to learn a craft. He first worked as an apprentice in his uncle Pilikin's fur workshop. His father also stayed in St. Petersburg, and later his mother and sister also came to St. Petersburg. The family immigrated to St. Petersburg, and his sister also married in St. Petersburg when he grew up.

George is a very hard-working person. He insists on self-study even when the work is very tiring. He does his homework at night under the dim light in the toilet. Last year, he took the full course examination of the city middle school and obtained qualified results.

Knowledge allows George to understand more about the outside world and gain more channels to get news from the outside world. His horizons have become broader, and he has a stronger spirit of exploration, exploration of Russian society, exploration of European society, exploration of the Eastern Empire, and exploration of red ideas...

Soon after the Tsar's rule was overthrown this year, George became a member of the workers' picket team and joined the Socialist Workers' Party.

George, who had been in a coma for half a day, opened his eyes. He saw his father and mother at first sight. The anxious expressions of the two made George feel sorry for some reason. I am already grown up, already 17 or 18 years old, but I still worry my parents.

"Lord, thank you for your kindness and great mercy. Georgy, Georgy, my child..."

The surprised cry of his mother came into his ears, which made Georgy's brain more clear. He slowly recalled what happened before, and he also remembered what happened to the wound on his forehead.

The wound on his forehead was caused by someone hitting him with the butt of a rifle.

As a workers' picket team, they have been paying close attention to the demonstrators in front of the Winter Palace in recent days. When they heard the gunshots in front of the Winter Palace, their team leader and team members became impulsive. The captain picked up his gun and rushed to the Winter Palace to seek justice for the demonstrators.

As a result, the government troops on the street were unwilling to let them go and ordered them to withdraw on their own, otherwise they would bear the consequences. Moreover, the soldiers of the government army were waiting behind the cordon with rifles in their hands, posing as if they would shoot if they rushed.

Seeing this, the captain did not dare to order a charge. If this triggered a formal exchange of fire between the two sides, he would not be able to bear the responsibility.

But the captain did not want to show his cowardice. Although he did not dare to charge, he did not want to retreat. The two sides pointed their guns at each other, but no one dared to shoot. Instead, they pushed and shoved on both sides of the cordon. Just as everyone was competing for strength, two gunshots were heard unexpectedly, and an officer of the government army fell down with his chest covered. At this time, the situation was out of control. People on both sides subconsciously wanted to distance themselves and pull the trigger. It was at that time that Georgi was hit on the head by the butt of a gun from the government soldier on the opposite side. Because he was brave enough to rush to the front line, he was surrounded by the government army, and he knew nothing about what happened afterwards.

But now it seems that at least he was not imprisoned.

Seeing her son wake up, Georgi's mother burst into tears of joy, but his father knew what his son really cared about. Wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes, she said, "Not many people died, just some were injured. And the two groups didn't fight, this is strange. You know, when the president went to the gate to comfort the injured after the shooting in the Winter Palace, he was shot in the abdomen by a gunman in the dark..."

After the bloody incident broke out, the workers' pickets were of course indignant, and the government army was also furious. But at this time, the president was shot in the dark, or when he appeared at the gate of the Winter Palace and shouted that the guards did not shoot, he was shot in the dark, and he almost died on the spot, and he is still being rescued. This news is like a bucket of ice water from the Arctic, which suddenly woke up the brains of both groups.

This is not right. Someone is deliberately provoking trouble, and someone is making trouble.

George is naturally fine.

In the previous exchange of fire, only five people in the picket were killed. In the eyes of Georgy's father, can this be considered a big deal? The old man has seen big scenes, and he doesn't care about the casualties at all.

The current era is an era of change for Russia, and the whole society is in turmoil. This scene is just a small wave under the red tide.

"George Konstantinovich Zhukov, right? Please don't be nervous, we just need to know something from you."

Two St. Petersburg policemen appeared at the door of George's ward.

...

Nicholas Alexandrovich Romanov, the former Tsar of Russia, His Majesty Nicholas II. Since his rule was overthrown, his family has been imprisoned in the summer palace. It is located in the forest on the southern shore of the Gulf of Finland, about 30 kilometers away from St. Petersburg, and covers an area of ​​nearly a thousand hectares.

The life of Nicholas II's family was not treated harshly in the slightest, and even the Tsar's guard was allowed to continue to exist. Although the guard captain here is very wary of Nicholas II's family, although the guard is a severely reduced version of the guard with only thirty people left, although this guard does not even have a long gun, only There were only five bullets in each of the three pistols. But that at least allowed the Tsar and his family to feel a little safer.

In addition, in order to win the cooperation of Nicholas II, the provisional government also allowed Nicholas II to communicate with the outside world, accept visits from outsiders, listen to the radio and read all newspapers in St. Petersburg. This gave Nicholas II a channel to report the external situation.

It is precisely because Nicholas II had so many contacts with the outside world that the scenes in St. Petersburg today happened.

The director of all this was not Nicholas II. All Nicholas II did was sign his name on a secret document, and other people were doing everything else.

Nikolai just had to wait.

In order to keep it secret, only he knew about it, and even his dear cousin wife was kept in the dark.

The real leader of this operation was Admiral Alexander Vasilyevich Kolchak, and the overall commander of the operation was Lieutenant General Anton Ivanovich Denikin, the commander of the Eighth Russian Infantry Corps. As for the director behind it, it is the Chinese Empire in the East.

Listening to the gunshots and explosions coming from all directions, Kolchak's heart almost rose to his throat. Now that the rescue operation has begun, what did China say?

"There is no turning back when you shoot a bow"!

Even if there was a wall in front of him, he could only rush forward with his eyes closed.

Today's Russia is in a mess. Countries such as Britain, France, and Germany are like blood-sucking leeches, entrenched in Russia. Russia can no longer sink. Taking another path may not be the way out.

Although the plan is very detailed, if His Majesty the Tsar does not appear in front of him, no one can guarantee that things will go as he wants.

Denikin had already led people into the Summer Palace. The Summer Palace, which occupies thousands of acres, had too many permeable passages. Not even a single regiment of troops from the Provisional Government could seal off the entire Summer Palace airtight, not to mention that they had mobilized some officers in the security force in advance.

Denikin was not a die-hard loyal to Nicholas II. On the contrary, he had been full of complaints against the Tsar in the previous years, so in the provisional government, Denikin was still a relatively trusted general. The admiral's fate was much better than that of Kolchak. Although the Tsar was forced to abdicate, Kolchak was the first admiral to swear allegiance to the Provisional Government. He also said: "I am not serving this or that form of government, but serving the motherland, which I regard as above all else." But Kolchak just could not get the trust of the interim government.

His status is too high, commander of the Black Sea Fleet.

Kolchak was removed from the position of commander of the Black Sea Fleet and was appointed chief of staff of the Navy Ministry, a false position without real power, but this was not the fundamental reason why Kolchak stood on the opposite side of the provisional government.

The fundamental reason that made Kolchak completely disappointed with the interim government was Russia's continuous decline in these days. Four months have passed since the coup. What has the interim government done?

So many corrupt and incompetent nobles have been beaten, but are the new ones not corrupt and incompetent?

Look at the high-ranking officials in the current government departments. They are corrupt, ask for bribes, and have many mistresses. The bad policies of the old Tsarist regime are being repeated one by one, which fully implements the "famous words" of Pope Leo X: "Because God has given us this position, Let's enjoy it."

Kolchak couldn't bear it anymore. The Russia he hoped for was not such a Russia. It was worse than the old tsarist government.

But Kolchak knew very well that the Provisional Government had united most of the bourgeois forces. As long as the Provisional Government still existed, it would be difficult to establish another one relying on his personal power. At this time, China's intelligence system came into contact with him, and everything fell into place.

There has never been a lack of reformist forces within the Russian government. Compared with the current bourgeois forces that are showing very ugly and poor performance, Kolchak was more attracted to the reformists in the original Tsarist Russian government. Moreover, with the title of Tsar, he could unite a lot of royalist forces.

Coupled with China's support, Kolchak is confident in building another Russia in Moscow.

Of course, Nicholas II also needs to show corresponding sincerity, such as providing an "action" fund. The Tsar's government was a poor treasury rat, but the Tsar himself was not poor. The Tsar's family has many properties around the world, including in China. In addition, before the turbulent changes at the beginning of the year, Nicholas II, who had already sensed something was wrong, sent 150 large boxes of his and his wife's personal property to the Bank of England in the United Kingdom, and also sent more than five tons of gold to China. 's bank.

Nicholas II only authorized Kolchak to use a small part of the funds, allowing Kolchak to receive ample funding for his actions.

This action was a gamble for both of them.

The Tsar used his own power to redeem the freedom of his family. What does a little money count for? The freedom and safety of his family are the most important in the eyes of Nicholas II, who was imprisoned for more than 100 days.

So he signed the secret document. Under the witness of China, Nicholas II promised to "grant" Russian citizens the inviolable right to the person, the freedom of belief, speech, assembly, and association; to convene the legislative State Duma (a representative meeting, similar to a parliament), and no law would be valid without the consent of the State Duma. Any usurpation of power to stop a law or stop the implementation of a law by the monarch's authority without the consent of the Duma is an illegal power. Any usurpation of power to abolish a law or the implementation of a law by the monarch's authority without the consent of the Duma is an illegal power. Any collection of money for the monarch or for the monarch's use without the consent of the Duma under the pretext of the monarch's privileges, beyond the time limit or method permitted by the Duma, is illegal. And so on.

It cannot be said that Nicholas II completely lost his power, but he was also stripped of most of his power.

But Nicholas II thought it was worth it.

What he regretted most now was that he did not leave the palace at the first moment of the chaos. With a coup like this, the safety of their family was completely in the hands of others. This was too unsafe and too insecure.

Nicholas II had to be vigilant because of the previous experience of Louis XVI. In particular, Nicholas II once asked his cousin, George V of the United Kingdom, for political asylum. Initially, the British side agreed, and the government agreed. But later George V still rejected Nicholas II's asylum request. Not only George V refused, but also William II of Germany.

You have to know that there are only a few royal families in Europe, and they are all relatives. Nicholas II's queen Alexandra Feodorovna grew up with Queen Victoria and was Victoria's granddaughter, but in fact she was a member of the German royal family.

This hurt Nicholas II's feelings greatly, and this time he threw himself into the arms of China was inevitable out of helplessness.

For Nicholas II, this was not only a gamble, but also a gamble of his life. Britain and the Netherlands, which rejected Nicholas II's request for political asylum, are unlikely to become Nicholas II's supporters. These two countries were originally the invisible support of the Tsar, but now they are almost becoming opposition forces. With this incident, the position of Nicholas II's family is not so solid.

If this escape is stopped, Nicholas II can hardly imagine what kind of dilemma he will face. The reason why Louis XVI died is closely related to his escape. After his own escape failed, the Provisional Government can completely regard him as a tool to divert domestic conflicts and put all the "crimes" left by Louis XVI in history on his head...

Of course, Kerensky's assassination will definitely cause chaos in the Provisional Government. There are a large group of dogs who are always looking for meat bones...

It is said that Kerensky's assassination was really not the work of Kolchak. Kolchak just wanted to provoke conflicts between the workers' pickets and the Provisional Government, but never thought of assassinating Kerensky.
