Chapter 52: Nicholas II

　　 Nicholas II Alexandrovich was born in St. Petersburg on May 18, 1868,
　　 is the eldest son of Alexander III and Queen Maria (Danish Princess Dagmar). The last emperor of Russia, reigned from 1894 to 1917.
　　 The era when Nicholas II was enthroned was a period of turbulent change. Since the end of the 19th century, Russia, centered on heavy industry, has improved its industrial system and created insurmountable contradictions between the capitalist economy and the rotten and backward Russian political system.
　　 The gap between the rich and the poor in Russia has widened, a large number of farmers have gone bankrupt, and social conflicts have intensified. Faced with these situations, he continued to suppress internally and expand externally from the perspective of maintaining rule.
　　 During the time of the crown prince, Nicholas served as the chairman of the construction committee of the Siberian Railway. In 1891, when he went to Vladivostok to preside over the groundbreaking ceremony of the Siberian Railway, he was invited by the Japanese imperial family to visit Japan on the way and was attacked in Ojin, which was called the "Otsu Incident" in history.
　　 After the Meiji Restoration, Japan's capitalism developed rapidly and its national strength also increased. By the end of the 19th century, it had become an Asian power.
　　 At that time, Japan wanted to become an Asian hegemon and rank among the world's powers. However, facing the aggressive posture of Russia's expansion in the Far East, the Japanese government was panicked.
　　 There is also strong anti-Russian sentiment among Japanese citizens, and organizations such as the Black Dragon Society have appeared among the people. Therefore, before Nikolai's departure, anti-Russian organizations had begun planning to assassinate the Russian crown prince.
　　 During his visit to Japan, Nicholas was sightseeing in the streets of Tokyo. A Japanese samurai rushed to him, waved his saber and slashed at Nicholas.
　　 Fortunately, Nicholas's entourage responded quickly and pushed him away to avoid being a ghost under the knife. However, a piece of his scalp was cut off by the knife and the crown prince was immediately sent to the hospital.
　　Although he escaped a disaster, Nicholas II has always left an obvious scar on his head and suffers from severe migraine. This is a memorial left by his trip to the Far East.
　　 Returning from the Far East, Nicholas said: This trip influenced me and made me interested in the Far East.
　　 Although Japanese officials quickly arrested the murderer and apologized to Nikolai, they also paid a high price, and things were settled.
　　 Obviously, this matter is not so easy to finish. Nicholas's heart is not so broad. Just catching an assassin cannot satisfy him.
　　 After the Sino-Japanese War of 1894, the conflicts between Japan and Russia in the Far East became increasingly public.
　　 In 1895, he joined forces with Germany and France to interfere with Japan in returning the Big Apple to the Liaodong Peninsula. Hidden dangers were laid for the Russo-Japanese War.
　　 After the Boxer Movement broke out in 1900, Nicholas sent troops to join the Eight-Power Allied Forces, invaded Beijing, China, and occupied Northeast China.
　　 During the expansion activities in the Far East, there were fierce conflicts with Japan in Korea and Manchuria, which triggered the Russo-Japanese War in 1904.
The unprepared Teddy Bear caused a Japanese raid at the beginning of the war and suffered heavy losses. Although it was relieved by its strong national strength, the poor transportation in the Far East and the lack of logistics to support their counterattack have been in a stalemate. .
　　 Nikolai may be eager for revenge, his head was twitched, and he sent the Russian navy to the Far East. There was a suicide movement that ruined the second navy in the world at that time. In the "Japanese-Russian War" Russia was defeated horribly, and Japan was defeated horribly.
　　 After Lushun was conquered by Japan in 1905, a revolution broke out in St. Petersburg, known as the "Bloody Sunday" incident. Due to Stolypin's reforms, he temporarily survived the difficulties, but he fell into more complicated Balkan issues, and continued to consume the vitality of the empire.
　　 Because Crown Prince Alexei was suffering from hemophilia, Nicholas II spent most of his time in the Tsar's Village and the Black Sea in St. Petersburg, staying with his family.
　　 Because the queen favored the "evil monk" Rasputin, which caused dissatisfaction among the young nobles and the army, Nicholas II gradually lost the support of the military, bureaucrats and capitalists.
　　 In 1914, Russia had just regained strength. Nicholas II led Russia to join the First World War. Due to the unfavorable war situation, the lack of materials, and the accumulation of capitalists, the support of the people was gradually lost.
　　 In 1917, Germany provided assistance to the CPSU. Lenin passed through German territory from Switzerland and returned to China via Finland, allowing it to launch a revolution so that Russia would withdraw from the war.
　　 In March 1917, the citizens of St. Petersburg launched an anti-hunger demonstration, and the February Revolution broke out.
　　 On March 15, 1917, Nicholas abdicated and passed the throne to his younger brother, Grand Duke Mikhail Alexandrovich, but was rejected by his younger brother, and the Romanov dynasty fell.
　　 After Nicholas II abdicated, the British government refused to accept his family's refuge in Britain. After the October Revolution broke out, the family of Nicholas II was destroyed by the Bolshevik army.
　　 Of course this is all parallel to time and space, and now Nicholas is proud of it. As the crown prince, one of the most powerful empires in the world, he is full of spirits.
　　 Three days later, in Burgas Port, Nicholas and his party left the warship and entered Bulgaria.
　　 "Oh, you are here, Bishop Schliment. I haven't had time to congratulate you on the opening of the Sorbian Railway. I'm so sorry!" Nikolai said with a smile
　　Skliment said excitedly: "His Royal Highness, you are too polite! Compared with the great Russian Empire, our achievements are not worth mentioning!"
　　 Nikolai smiled, UU reading www.uukanshu.com didn't say anything, obviously he thought it was too. In 1891, the total mileage of Russia's railways had reached 30,723 kilometers.
　　 And Bulgaria? Even if it was opened by Ferdinand, the traveler, the total mileage of the current railway is only a thousand kilometers.
　　 As for industrial development, the two sides are even farther apart. Russia has a complete industrial system, while Bulgaria's industry is still blank in many respects.
　　 Nikolai didn't seem to be in a hurry. When he arrived at Burgas Port, he did not rush to Sofia, but began to travel around the mountains.
　　 Ferdinand received the telegram from Schliment, knowing that Nicholas was not so unbearable for you to be judged by later generations. Any emperor who can control real power should not be underestimated.
　　 "Traveling in the mountains and playing in the water" is mostly about observing the strength of Bulgaria, and then deciding what attitude to treat Bulgaria. Except for political novices like Schliment, you can basically see Nicholas's purpose.
　　 Nicholas directly used Yangmou, even if Ferdinand knew it, he couldn't do anything. After taking a sip of tea, Ferdinand didn't like this situation beyond his control.
　　 has been going on for more than a month, Nikolai stopped and went all the way, playing around, maybe it was bored, or maybe it was time to see it. In May, I finally arrived in Sofia.
