Volume 11 Thunderbolt Volume 55: Russia Surrenders
.
Well. Let's do it this way, my conditions are very simple. If you want to end the war, you must join us, otherwise we will not be interested in wasting talk with a majesty." Zhao Gang said his conditions. As a monarch who has a lot of trouble, Zhao Gang did not want to waste too much time in such things.
"This, dear Emperor, I don't think I can agree to your request. If other things are easy to discuss, and I want to remove the Russian royal family that has been passed down for thousands of years, I think this is completely impossible. This cannot be used as a condition for negotiation."
"Is that right? Then there is nothing else. Go back and report to Nicholas, just say, " Zhao Gang paused and said to the Russian ambassador of plenipotence: "An emperor must have the integrity of an emperor. I admire his courage to sacrifice, and this path exists until his death. My door to friendship is always open for him."
After ending the meaningless courtesy, Zhao Gang fell into deep thought. Russia is at its peak at the moment, and the culprit is unable to retain the throne. Therefore, from a certain perspective, only after the Tsar agrees to join the Chinese Empire and become a self-dominated in a sense, the benefits will be greater than the investment. Zhao Gang is confident of getting other conditions such as cedes land and compensation in the new Russian government, and the conditions will be more favorable than what the Tsar can offer. The Tsar rejected this suggestion actually means that his death is not far away. Compared with China's political struggle, the bloody level of the Russian political struggle is still greater. After the Tsar falls, he will lose his political discourse power and will be smashed to pieces by the political vortex.
At this time, the Russian political arena was as expected by Zhao Gang. Earth-shaking changes were taking place. After the outbreak of World War II, the Tsarist government quickly participated in the imperialist war. The October Party, the Cadets Democratic Party and other bourgeois parties stood on nationalist and chauvinist positions and voted unanimously to support the Tsarist government's war policy in the State Duma. These people forgot the pain of World War I and began to look forward to a better future together. As the poorest country in Europe, even if it was defeated, it would not return to its original state. If it was defeated, it could immediately become the richest country in Europe. Stimulated by this idea, all classes in Russia praised the war. Usually this situation only occurs in the nest of robbers, not in a rational country.
The representative of the Cadet Democratic Party said: "Only war can completely resolve our restricted national development for centuries and obtain an outlet to the free ocean." However, the successive failures of the Russian army on the battlefield once again exposed the extreme decay and reactionary nature of the autocratic system, and at the same time caused serious social, economic and political crises in Russia, especially the "upper-level rule crisis", and the contradiction between the bourgeoisie and the Tsarist government gradually intensified. Compared with the First World War, the requirements for personnel and equipment in World War II were unprecedentedly strict. Although the United States and Britain generously donated, the Russians' combat effectiveness still seemed too weak compared to their opponents. In this comprehensive competition between golden guns and national strength, the Russians began to show a little bit of decline.
The bourgeoisie repeatedly impeached the Tsarist government and demanded the establishment of the so-called "responsible cabinet". At the beginning of the year, a "government trusted by the people" was established. Some bourgeois representatives and liberal aristocrats began to plot to launch a court coup. Nicholas II was deposed and a new Tsar was established.
However, somewhere, under the escort of the Germans' special train, a loud name "Vladimir" entered Moscow. When the news came, Zhao Gang was shocked. No one knew this "Vladimir" better than him. The Germans wanted to use this person as a puppet. In fact, the Germans did a good job in controlling all the Russian regimes. Before the Germans were defeated, Vladimir always bowed to the Germans and asked for it.
Before this, the Russian bourgeoisie attacked the Tsarist government in the State Duma. Under their agitation, the Petersburg Committee had already issued a call to all citizens that "the victory time of open struggle has arrived, and the autocratic government of the Tsarism has completely overturned" and "everyone rises up and everyone goes to the streets." In 1917, 225, hundreds of thousands of citizens of Petrograd launched a general strike, and soon the general strike turned into an armed uprising.
The outbreak of the February Revolution represents the complete separation of bourgeoisie and the Tsarist government. The 227th government refused to reform and led to chaos in the domestic situation. The interim committee "has the responsibility to assume the mission of restoring the state and social order." Luo Jiangko called the Tsar in the name of the chairman of the interim committee: "All institutions of the former Tsarist government no longer work, and its functions are replaced by the interim committee."
Milyukov persuaded senior officers, "Everyone should obey the orders of the State Duma Provisional Committee." The words and deeds of the bourgeoisie accelerated the collapse of the state machine ruled by the Tsarist rule, the military police organization. On the 31st and 2nd alone, 3,500 officers announced that they "unanimously recognize the power of the State Duma Provisional Committee" and left the camp of the diehards.
Under the impact of the wave of democracy for all people, Tsar Nicholas II was forced to 32 people. He wrote in his diary in frustration: "I handed over the signed abdication declaration to them... At one point late at night, I left Pskov with a heavy heart. The surroundings were betrayal, timid and deception." The autocratic system that had ruled Russia for more than 300 years finally collapsed.
After Nicholas II abdicated, the British king refused to accept his family's refuge in the UK, so the Tsar family was placed in the Western Regions Protectorate of Siberia by Kerensky's provisional government. I wonder if Nicholas II regretted rejecting Zhao Gang at this moment.
, but Zhao Gang regretted it a little. He had known that his opponent was Vla, who should have paid attention to it. Behind this person was the Germans who were not bad and kind, and because of the differences in races, it was difficult for Zhao Gang to find a person who could compete with Vladimir. As for the admiral, Zhao Gang was not optimistic about him.
As Zhao Gang expected, after signing the Treaty of Brest with Germany, the Russians' resistance became stronger and even counterattacks began in some areas. Zhao Gang could already see the tricks between Germany and Russia. The intelligence reflected through certain channels also proved that at least 500,000 German troops joined the Russian army, of course, not as a front-line combat force, but as a logistics, artillery, aircraft and other troops, and the Germans did not want to anger China. Of course, he did not know that this approach had touched Zhao Gang's rebellion.
However, it is not the time to deal with the Germans. Before everything is finally achieved, they start to turn against each other. They only get the Allies. Zhao Gang had to endure this anger. Of course, this anger will be doubled. Zhao Gang has always been a villain to take revenge. He seized the day and made a simple arrangement. The Germans found that the pressure on the Chinese army on Britain and France was greatly reduced. The increased pressure naturally fell on Germany.
After being abandoned by everyone, the Provisional Government of Duke Liwoff detained Nicholas II in the imperial village near St. Petergrad and was preparing to send him and his family to England, but due to Petrograd's opposition, they decided to send them to Siberia... It is said that it was because of the request of the Chinese Emperor Zhao Gangdi. The Russians were also happy to meet the requirements of the Chinese Emperor.
On a sultry and slutty night in 1917, the Tsar family who moved to Siberia, escorted by soldiers to the river port pier in Tywuman. A coincidence of history was so unexpected that Alexander Kerensky left a very good impression on the Governor’s residence, which was the capital of Siberia and was located on the hillside of the east Ural.
In order to save the fate of the Romanov family, he decided to transfer Nicholas II and spend the winter there, and then wait for the opportunity to send them to Japan. But he did not expect that this city, 300 kilometers away from the railway, had to take a steamboat in summer and could only enter and exit on a frozen muddy road in winter. He transported Nicholas II and his family's train through mountains and ridges and galloped towards Siberia.
At the junction of Europe and Asia, Nikolai told his son: "Alexei, now you have really arrived in Siberia. He murmured: "Chinese Siberia." They got off at Diwuman and learned that they had to continue to go to the Western Regions Protectorate by motorboat.
Three months ago, the Nikolai family lived in the splendid palace. Once upon a time, the crown of the Romanov family fell to the ground. In the end, there were only two people who followed the last tsar, one was Prince Torgoruki, a classmate from his childhood, and the other was the loyal Tadischev. Following the queen were her newspaper waiter and Ekadrina Schneider, who taught Princess Alex in Hessen in Harrogat. After she got married, she had been taking care of the queen's rheumatism. Now, the former tsar couple are sitting on the "Rus" and being sent to the place where they were imprisoned.
"I was wondering, would we like this place?" As the ship sailed to the Western Regions Protectorate, the former prince Alexey pouted doubtfully. This was indeed a strange place, and perhaps terrible for a child, because the ancient city was located on a high cliff at the confluence of the Torbor and the Ildi River. After being trapped on the Russ for 8 years, the Tsar family was finally allowed to move to the Governor's residence. The residence was well arranged, and there was no guard in the house. However, almost shortly after they arrived, the house and the surroundings were no one.
The land was surrounded by a row of not too high fences. They could see the outside world from their rooms, but could not enter and exit. In order to exercise, Nicholas II kept sawing firewood. The daughters were busy doing needlework, and the queen sometimes recited some literary works in a moving voice. The news was blocked. Everything that happened outside was only known from the soldiers who were guarding them. In order to pass the time, the whole family sometimes also talked about every important figure in the past and even the family: their merits and demerits, wives and children...
In any case, Zhao Gang changed his mind at the last moment and freed the Tsar from his terrible fate. It seemed that he did not pursue the crime of starting a war. However, in the long years later, rumors such as charging protection fees were also spread, but the parties involved denied it.
It has to be said that Zhao Gang still fulfilled his original idea and turned His Majesty the Russian Tsar into his own subject, but he did not get the territory of His Majesty the bare-headed Majesty. Of course, if you consider the many territories occupied from the war, Zhao Gang should actually be satisfied. After all, even the largest empire in history, the Mongol Empire, can reach the territory that is not as big as the Chinese Empire today.
At the end of March 1917, China and Russia signed a peace treaty with great conditions. All the east of the Ural Mountains belonged to China, so Russia became a pure European country. As for the compensation, His Majesty Zhao Gang made a very kind decision to only compensate 1,500 gold rubles with an annual interest of 4%. In this way, as long as the Russians pay 40 gold rubles for all their annual fiscal revenue, they can still leave 60% of the economy. Zhao Gang is a good person, as long as each Russian pays 40 gold rubles for each year, if His Majesty Zhao Gang was not respected, he would not be able to sign such a relaxed peace treaty.
After solving Russia, Zhao Gang's attention can finally turn to India. On the snow-capped Himalayas, the most elite troops of China and Britain are fighting endlessly.
