Dominate the Country

There were only twenty-seven of the thirty-man guard left. The bodies of the three guard members who had betrayed the Romanov family were dumped in the small flower hall next to the living room.

Now, Nicholas II has changed into civilian clothes, and sitting next to him is his only son, Alexey Nikolayevich Romanov. As for his wife and four daughters, they are changing clothes in the bedroom upstairs.

When Nicholas II and his family left the Winter Palace, the rebels allowed them to take away all their clothes and accessories. The luxurious and expensive clothes of the Tsar royal family and the clothes of civilians can be seen at a glance. Can a haute couture dress starting with a five-digit number be compared with a skirt bought for tens of dollars from a street stall?

Alexandra Feodorovna's bra was embellished with pearls. Such clothes were obviously not suitable for today's action.

Alexander Mikhailovich came to visit Nicholas II in a normal manner and at the same time informed Nicholas II. This Grand Duke of the Tsarist Empire, Nicholas II's cousin and brother-in-law - yes, Nicholas's sister Xenia Alexandrovna married this senior citizen twenty years ago. My cousin's body is not very good.

The Mikhailovich branch of the Romanov family came from the youngest son of Nicholas I. Nicholas I was not the father of Nicholas II, but his great-grandfather. The two tsars were also sandwiched between them. By Alexander II and Alexander III.

Alexander Mikhailovich was the grandson of Nicholas I's youngest son.

Even though he didn't seem to be in very good health, he gave birth to six sons and one daughter with his niece and wife. It is considered quite productive among Western royal families.

Obviously, this sick man also had a share in this action.

Following Alexander Mikhailovich came in several of his entourages, carrying boxes that were said to be gifts, but actually contained guns and ammunition. Ever since Kolchak began to bribe the security forces of the Summer Palace, some guns and ammunition have been transferred there one after another. Now this is the last batch.

The twenty-seven guardsmen and the few followers brought by Alexander Mikhailovich are now fully armed. They must not only guard against the arrival of the security forces in the chaos, but also fight them out when necessary, and cooperate inside and outside. .

Although these people are not many in number, they are all diehard loyalists of the Romanov family. The Tsar has been raising his troops for thousands of days, but it is now time to use them.

Alexander Mikhailovich wanted to leave the summer palace as soon as possible, and Nicholas II also wanted to leave here immediately, but they had to be patient now, because the people who responded to them had not yet sent a signal, so they could only fight in all directions. Waiting tremblingly amid the sounds of gunshots and explosions.

At the same time, there were also several servants in the living room who were trembling. These people were loyal servants of the Tsarist family and still followed Nicholas II's family in the previous difficult and dangerous environment. But now that the responders can take away the Tsar's family, can they still take them away?

If the Provisional Government turned around and found that the Tsar and his family had been taken away, leaving only their servants, would they still be well off?

Everyone can taste the danger, but they dare not say a word.

Pray that the Tsar will take them with him when he leaves?

This is not realistic.

The sound of footsteps coming downstairs was heard, and Alexandra Feodorovna and her four daughters finally changed their clothes. Behind them, a row of tearful maids and nuns watched them leave silently.

There was no way, there were no less than twenty servants following the Tsar, and they were not soldiers. On the contrary, they are slaves in name, but in fact they all live a pampered life. It is unrealistic to take them away together, it is really unrealistic.

The people in the living room were suddenly pushed away, and a strong man walked in. He respectfully saluted Nicholas II and his wife and said a few words.

"Your Majesty, General Denikin who is assisting us outside has sent a signal. Now, it is time for us to leave."

Alexander Mikhailovich hurriedly walked out of the door and followed the strong man's fingers, only to see three oriental-style Kongming lanterns floating in the sky, already flying in the air.

Nicholas II was really a mediocre person. When he was about to die, he actually became timid. However, his wife and children were full of excitement now.

Nicholas II glanced at the three sky lanterns with a pale face, and said with concern: "Alexander, how sure are you that we can safely escape into the Chinese embassy? It's really outside..." Everything is ready Already? It's really dangerous out there.

Nicholas II was timid.

After all, he must be extremely safe hiding here today. And after stepping out of here, he is likely to be killed by an inexplicable bullet tonight.

Alexander Mikhailovich was furious, but he still said in a calm tone: "Your Majesty, the arrow is on the string, we have to shoot it! If we hesitate now, we really can't escape! As for the Chinese Embassy, ​​your Majesty, don't worry, keep it safe Foolproof.”

It is difficult to say whether Kolchak's final plot will succeed or fail, and Alexander Mikhailovich has no idea at all. But as long as they escape from here, even if the Moscow government eventually collapses, they can run to China in style. It is better to take refuge in China than to be a prisoner here.

"The descendants of the Romanov family don't know you. Think of Louis XVIII back then..."

Nicholas II was really a bit naive. If Kolchak and his gang were pushed to the edge, it would be easy for them to appoint someone else. Because these people couldn't save Nicholas II, but could they not kill him? As long as they made a few big news casually and finally implicated Nicholas II, even if the Tsar's family behaved honestly, would the Provisional Government still tolerate them?

"His Royal Highness's illness also requires a good medical environment, otherwise..."

The Romanov family was harmed by Queen Victoria's bloodline, and the heir Alexei Nikolayevich Romanov's hemophilia was like a sword of Damocles hanging over his head.

Nicholas II's heart was instantly firm.

"Well! Let's go." Nicholas II took a deep breath. Stride out of the palace.

…

The sudden gunfire in the Summer Palace shocked St. Petersburg, which had received the news. However, just as the phone calls in St. Petersburg were ringing, in a quiet alley, a young Russian man looked at the dark lights in the center of St. Petersburg—the power was out, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

He turned and walked into the house, where a group of Russian men were happily drinking Volga, and the table in the middle was full of rich food. He immediately walked into the inner room and dialed a phone.

"…………, I know. Don't worry, there will be no mistakes." The man listened quietly to the instructions on the phone, then whispered a few words into the microphone, and then hung up the phone. He winked at the other people around him, and a group of people stood up, took up their weapons, and quickly left the yard.

This was one of Kolchak's backup plans. There were not many people in each group, but the members were all military men, equipped with submachine guns, pistols, shotguns and grenades, and they were very lethal when they made a fuss in the city.

The current Chinese Embassy is located in the city of St. Petersburg, but it was originally located near the port of St. Petersburg, and the distance from the Summer Palace is not short. If Nicholas II and his family want to enter the embassy today, it would be difficult.

But between the Summer Palace and the embassy, ​​there are warehouses and cargo stations of many Chinese-owned companies. That is their first hiding place. When Kolchak made a fuss in the eastern part of Russia and St. Petersburg's attention was diverted, the Chinese side had too many opportunities to move the Tsar's family out.

As for nobles like Alexander Mikhailovich, their current identities have not been imprisoned by the Provisional Government. It is not difficult to escape from St. Petersburg during the chaos, or at least hide in a hidden place.

Of course, before hiding Nicholas II, the Chinese side still has to do some things, so that the Russian Provisional Government will believe that the Chinese have sent Nicholas II out of St. Petersburg.

Just an hour or two after St. Petersburg became lively, two Chinese drove a four-wheeled carriage near the port area, entered the port area from the intersection outside the city, and were inspected by government soldiers at the intersection.

Judging from the passport of the coachman on the carriage, this carriage belongs to a Chinese trading company. It is an absolute freight carriage. The cargo list shows that it is carrying rye. Many Chinese in Russia like to eat black bread, and they say that the rougher the texture, especially the bread with granular bran, the more nutritious it is. It's also a ghost.

These temporary government soldiers in the port area often see Chinese vehicles full of rye, and they don't find it strange. However, it was too late today, and the car was covered with canvas, so the cargo on the car could not be seen clearly. Out of caution, the government soldiers still lifted the canvas, poked the bayonet on the gun in the full car of oats, and then waved their hands and let it go.

The Chinese driver hurriedly covered the canvas again, then got on the carriage, shouted, and drove the carriage forward. In a blink of an eye, it disappeared into the night.

At this time, the driver breathed a sigh of relief and took off his hat. A thin layer of sweat had already soaked his forehead. When he was inspected by the government soldiers just now, cold sweat oozed out of his forehead involuntarily.

It was a close call. The Russians did not conduct a proper inspection, otherwise the heavy machine gun hidden in the oat pile would have been exposed.

In that case, not only would he be in danger, but this cover operation would also be half-failed.

Fortunately, fortunately.

How many rifles can a heavy machine gun block? This is the only heavy firepower in the port area. The rest are bombs and pistols, and a few submachine guns.

As for where this heavy machine gun came from? That's also very simple, it was taken from the government army.

The Russian army's equipment is diverse. In addition to the weapons they produce themselves, there are also French artillery and Austro-Hungarian light machine guns, German heavy machine guns, and British warships, etc.

Only Russia's own military industry can't keep up with the trend of the times.

Russia's heavy machine guns were originally water-cooled. The heavy machine guns of China and other countries were all water-cooled at first. But a few years after the end of the last war, air-cooled heavy machine guns appeared. Russia designed air-cooled heavy machine guns on its own and then produced and equipped the troops. Obviously, it was too slow. Their only solution was to buy them and then unify the caliber of ammunition.

This heavy machine gun was taken directly from the Russian arsenal near St. Petersburg, and it only cost 3,000 yuan. It also came with 500 rounds of ammunition. The Chinese informant only spent 5,000 yuan to get a heavy machine gun and 10,000 rounds of ammunition.

When they were ready, gunshots were heard from the west outside the port area.

"Don't stand there, the Russians have already started. Let's catch up. Now, check your weapons."

The purpose of the whole plan was to make the people of the Provisional Government believe that the Chinese had sent Nicholas II and his family to the port area. Then, naturally, the Provisional Government would not make great efforts to search outside the port area.

"Da Da Da... Da Da Da..."

Just when a group of people were beaten by the soldiers of the government army, the heavy machine gun on the cargo carriage finally roared. The trembling muzzle spewed hot flames, and the bullets rushed towards their targets with sharp whistling sounds.

Broken limbs and arms were accompanied by splashes of blood, and wherever the bullets hit, there was a mess of dead and wounded.

"Da da da... Da da da..."

At this moment, on a Chinese ship at the port, the 26-year-old Gu Weijun was listening to the fierce gunfire coming from afar with an intoxicated face, as if he was sitting in the Golden Hall of Vienna and enjoying the performance of the top orchestra in Europe.

What a wonderful sound.

It is simply the best gift from nature to the Russian Embassy for its hard work during these days.

I believe that after this "war", the leaderless Russian Provisional Government will keep a close eye on the port area.

This does not mean that the Russians have no other strength, but they will not spend this strength in the port area. Because there is still the high position of acting president waiting for them.

There is a high possibility that Kerensky will not die, but it is also an undeniable reality that he is seriously injured. The throne of the third acting president of Russia is just hanging there in vain. As long as people in St. Petersburg know that Nicholas II has run away, they will not have too much strength and nowhere to spend it. Although they all knew that Nicholas II's escape would most likely bring them great trouble, they would not face this trouble until it became a reality.

The 26-year-old Gu Weijun experienced this "great rescue" from beginning to end.

From colluding with Kolchak to contacting the Romanov family, Gu Weijun knew everything clearly. As a participant in this matter, as an important participant in this matter, when things went as expected, the joy in his heart was indescribable.

Because Gu Weijun saw the dawn of victory, he didn't dare to say that he had won, but he felt that the goddess of victory had opened her arms to him. So how long will it take for the goddess of victory to open her legs for him?
