Eight hundred and twenty-four.(1/3)
A big storm has arrived.
The earth in Russia is trembling, and the smell of blood is already spreading in the air. You must face it directly, and in the era of great storms, you have no way to hide.
Gregory was ready to take a gamble.
At least he felt that he still had some capital, such as he still had so many subordinates who were willing to follow him, such as he had so many soldiers.
Of course, he also has the 8th Armored Army.
He didn't feel that he would fail now. He vowed that no matter what effort he had to make, he must take back what he had lost.
So, the craziest scene, and the last scene, was staged in Moscow.

On May 21, 1966, the Russian capital Moscow had the most powerful wave of protests ever.
Almost two-thirds of the Moscow people took to the streets and shouted the slogans that they called Gregory and the Russian government.
This is the first time that the marching people use the word "tick".
.
.
.
.
.
The Moscow police seemed to not want to do anything at all. They followed the parade and forgot the order of suppression assigned by the Grand Duke. Like the police, there were also soldiers. They also let the things that happened in front of them.
.

.

Everyone has seen clearly the situation in front of Moscow.
.
.
.
.
.
The fierce wave of protests and the large parades have brought all the journalists in Moscow to the streets without exception. They must witness all this and record them in person.
A great storm is unfolding in Moscow and throughout Russia.

Grigoli was the last one to know about this, and it is hard to describe his anger in words. He had already issued an order to suppress it, but why did those damn guys not take action?
He called Khmelitsky's police chief's office. It took him a long time before Khmelitsky came to answer the phone. Grigoli's anger could no longer bear it. He shouted at the phone for a long time before he asked in anger: "Why not suppress it immediately? Why?"
"His Grand Duke, you should come and see it in person..." Khmelitsky's voice was unexpectedly calm: "Hundreds of thousands of Russians are protesting on the streets, but how much power is there in my hands? I can even tell you without any concealment that some police officers have also joined the protesters' ranks. The situation is now completely out of control...."
Not long ago, Khmelitsky had promised to calm the protests in Moscow, but now he changed his tone in the blink of an eye.
.

Gregory became even more angry: "If you can't control the situation, then what else do I need you? Mr. Hmelitsky, Marquis of Pereyas, you have two choices now. The first is to end all this in three hours. I will not hesitate to put the prison in Moscow all over. The second is to resign yourself. Now, Mr. Hmelitsky, Marquis of Pereyas, tell me your answer!"
Khmelitzky's answer was very calm: "I cannot do your first request, which is simply impossible. As for you to resign? Your Excellency the Grand Duke, I refuse to resign. As the chief of the police in Moscow, I have an obligation and a responsibility to ensure the safety of Moscow under such circumstances...."
Gregory was stunned there, and in his memory it was the first time Khmelitsky spoke to himself like this.
.
.
.
.
.
"You will be arrested!" Gregory's words were full of threats: "Khmelitsky, I will relieve you of all positions and even your marquis in the name of Russia's Supreme Regent and Grand Duke. I will send your successor within an hour."
"I still refuse to hand over my power..." On the other end of the phone, Gregory could even feel Khmelitsky's smile: "My power is given by the Russian government, given by His Majesty the Tsar, not you, the Grand Duke of Beerstoka. I promise that if you are ready to force someone to take over my power, you will be arrested by me. Good luck, the Grand Duke of Beerstoka."
After saying that, the phone was hung up.
.
.

Gregory was so angry that he almost vomited blood. Is this the Khmelitsky he was familiar with? How dare he say such words to him?
Turning around, he saw his guard captain Similov: "Similov, you have followed me for many years. Now I have decided to promote you, go to Khmelitsky, and take your guard with you. From now on, you will be the police chief in Moscow."
I thought Similov would be grateful for his decision, but I didn't expect Similov said: "His Grand Duke, now I'm going there to die. Khmelitsky controls all the police in Moscow, and he will really arrest me."
Grigoli's face suddenly became gloomy: "Why, are you scared too?"
"No, I have never considered my life and death..." Similov replied loudly: "But in this situation, I would rather choose to protect you."
Gregory listened in a daze, then sighed: "Well, I admit that my decision was a little hasty, you are still loyal. So, what about Milosevic? Do you think Milosevic will be the same as Khmelitsky?"
Before Similov could answer, the Minister of Finance Andreas had already hurriedly walked in: "His Grand Duke, something big happened. The Minister of Security Milosevic, together with 127 officials, jointly issued a telegram across the country to support the Russian people's request. They requested you to step down immediately and form a special investigation committee to investigate corruption and other issues within the government...."
"What?" Gregory couldn't believe his ears: "Milosevic asked me to step down?"
"It's not just him, but 127 officials." Andreas said with a wry smile: "In addition to them, there are more than 200 civilians including Fritoyev, who also ask you to step down immediately and be reviewed by the Special Investigation Committee."
"Bastard, bastard!" Gregory roared loudly: "What do they want to do? Milosevic, this ungrateful guy! Fritoyev, a guy who always likes to go against me! Shoot them and shoot them immediately!"
Before he could finish his voice, the phone on his desk rang. Gregory answered the phone angrily, and the voice of Tsar Boris came from the other end:
"His Excellency, I have noticed what is happening in Moscow, and I think you are no longer able to control the situation... As your friend, I will give you a suggestion, and you should accept the requests of those people..."
This ungrateful puppet! Grigoli cursed in his heart, but at this time he still needed the support of the Tsar. He suppressed his anger and said, "Your Majesty, I think you have been blinded by those ignorant and ignorant guys. The situation is still in my control. You don't have to worry at all. I will not resign. It's not that I am greedy for this position, but that Russia now needs me. Please rest assured that I will solve these troubles soon..."
"I don't think you have the ability to solve it..." The Tsar's voice was never so cold: "I'll give you three hours. If you still refuse to resign before 7 o'clock tonight, then I can only take the necessary actions."
Grigoli was a little confused. Is this the tsar he recognized? What was he saying there! Damn, did he forget who gave him his current position? Did he forget that without himself, he wouldn't he have nothing?
"Let our people control the Tsar right away!" Gregory looked as if he was so blushed: "He might do something that would upset us."
Until now, he still thought he had a way to control the Tsar, but he soon knew that he had made another mistake.
