Vol 4 Chapter 110: , Mingxiu plank road, secretly Chencang

Time passed quickly, and the winter that the Russians waited for was finally here, but the result was not what the Tsarist government wanted
After the winter came, not only did the allies ’army not attack, but instead pulled back hundreds of miles, building a line of defense waiting for the Russian army to attack.
There is no doubt that the winter counterattack planned by the Russians has become a phantom. In the face of the allied army waiting to be faced with, they now have no strength to counterattack.
Due to the war, military transportation has seized a large number of train skins. According to the statistics of the Russian government, Russia can currently use only two-thirds of the transportation capacity of civilian transportation.
The prerequisite is that the immediate cessation of all unnecessary transportation of military supplies and the rush to transport civilian supplies cannot meet the needs of the people.
Taking St. Petersburg as an example, this means the winter of 1916, and if coal transportation from Donetsk to St. Petersburg is reduced by one-third, it means that at least 80% of households will lack heating coal to survive this winter.
What do you say this ratio is not right? This is again you do n’t understand, do n’t forget that in addition to meeting people ’s daily needs, private transportation must also meet the needs of industrial production.
And industrial production is an industry of nobles and capitalists. Can ordinary people compete with them for coal?
Obviously, even if the citizens of St. Petersburg freeze to death in front of their eyes, it is impossible to let them give up their interests
So it is the ordinary people who are really unlucky. The lives of the Russian people are already hovering on the line of life and death. Although domestic production can continue, it is also on the verge of danger.
And this decline in production is irreversible, because in this case, the Russian government cannot provide enough funds and there is not enough time to repair infrastructure
For their own benefit, capitalists are desperately expanding production capacity. The so-called expansion of production capacity is obtained by squeezing other non-war areas, and in doing so, there is a limit. The Russians will be finished.
Now the Russians should stop talking about counter-offensive allies. They even have problems in maintaining the normal operation of the country. There are only two ways before the Tsarist government, either to protect production or to protect people's livelihood.
It is very simple to guarantee production. The tsarist government can do nothing. The capitalists can do a good job themselves. The ordinary people have no ability to compete with them.
However, the consequences are very serious. This is how the Tsarist government did in history, and then ushered in the February Revolution; so did the new bourgeois government, which ushered in the October Revolution.
It is troublesome to protect people's livelihood. The government must restrict industrial production, thereby reducing the consumption of raw materials, and the transportation capacity that consumes less will naturally decrease.
Then use this part of the transportation capacity saved to transport people's daily necessities, such as food, coal, daily necessities and so on.
If it is in a centralized country like Bulgaria, the problem is simple, as long as the government issues a ban on overtime in winter construction.
With less time to start the factory, the consumption will naturally fall, and the saved transportation capacity can be used to meet the basic needs of the people.
Unfortunately, this is Russia. Even if the Tsar gave this order, it would have no effect. Nicholas II could not personally monitor the implementation of the capitalists.
Some factories even work 15 to 6 hours a day, and it is useless to stop them from working overtime. In this case, to protect people's livelihood, they must operate on capitalists.
History has once again reached an inflection point, and the time has come to determine Russia's fate.
Due to the problems of the Duma Parliament, Nicholas II was deeply disgusted by the capitalists who supported them. Previously, the large number of poor-quality weapons produced by the capitalists offended the Russian military. To the opposite of ordinary people.
It can be said that the long-awaited time of Nicholas II has arrived. As long as he gently pushes the Russian bourgeoisie, it will be destroyed.
The voice of the special agent said with a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, this is the information we have collected. The domestic capitalists have participated in hoarding the list of strange capitalists. More than 80% of the capitalists in the country have participated in it, and a small number of nobles have also participated in it."
After receiving the Mindan, Nicholas II rubbed his forehead. Although he had long guessed that the number of people involved this time was very wide, he still did not expect that so many people would participate.
After hesitating, Nicholas II still decided to reduce the scope of the attack. Zou said with a brow, "screen again, and select the plot badly."
"Yes," the chief agent replied.
After a moment of silence, Nicholas II asked again, "How many members of Congress are involved and which nobles are involved?"
The secret agent thought for a while and said, "Parliamentarians who have passed through nine levels have directly or indirectly participated in this. The big aristocracy involved is difficult to define. They have not directly participated in it, but those who are related to them have participated. A lot "
Nicholas II nodded. These were all his expectations. Most of the members of Congress were puppets supported by capitalists and nobles. It was not a surprise that they joined together.
As for the big aristocracy, who doesn't have a bunch of vests that damages the reputation of the family, of course, can not end in person.
"I see, you go down"
It is not so simple to get started with this group of people. At least the police in St. Petersburg, Nicholas II did not dare to move. Once the wind leaks, the capitalists' counterattack is also very terrible.
He had to keep secrets even from the government. Most of these politicians had inextricable links with the capitalists. Suddenly, Nicholas II had no one to use.
The loyalist loyalty in hand is guaranteed, provided that they are not used to deal with the aristocracy, and most of their officers are of noble origin, so this time cannot be used.
Then the only thing that can be used is the Russian army. Due to the war, the Russian army expanded a large number of troops, and the influence of the nobility on the army has been greatly reduced.
Besides, this time it is not mainly aimed at the domestic nobility. As for the small number of people involved, their influence is limited.
Even actions directed at capitalists will be supported by many conservative aristocrats. Without other benefits, the rise of the capitalists has affected the interests of the noble class. Except for the nobles who have been successfully transformed, most conservative nobles are still very hostile to the capitalists.
In mid-January, prices in St. Petersburg have started to soar. Compared with the pre-war period, the prices of daily necessities have skyrocketed by 300%. There is also an inflation factor, and the wages of the working class are not even a cent. rise
Nicholas II had to convene a government meeting to discuss a solution
He said in a very angry tone: "Everyone in the country is very clear about the situation, so who told me what to do now, once you cannot guarantee the supply of urban living supplies, you know the consequences
So now, no matter what method you use, first let me find a way to guarantee the supply of living materials in St. Petersburg, and at the same time lower the price to me. Understand. "
Having said that, Nicholas II surrendered his vision and asked him to come up with a plan.
Obviously, he overestimated the politician's discipline and knew that the problem was not easy to deal with. Instead, he pretended not to see his suggestion and thought about it.
Angry Nicholas II gritted his teeth and asked with a sneer, "Similarly, what good way do you have to solve the trouble we are facing now?"
The arrested person knew he could not escape, and hesitated and said again and again: "Your Majesty, this problem is difficult to handle. We can only communicate with the capitalists and let them reduce some of their production capacity to meet the basic needs of the people. "
After thinking about it, Nicholas II said with a smile: "Then this matter will be entrusted to you, and we must communicate with the capitalists as much as possible to protect the basic life of the people in St. Petersburg."
"Yes" phase replied
He was still very surprised in his heart. He just lifted it so high and fell down. Anyway, now this level has passed. As for whether we can solve the problem, I will talk about it later.
It seemed to solve the problem. Nicholas II was in a much better mood, and he said, "The winter has come, and the allied forces have retreated. They are unlikely to fight again in the winter.
I decided to convene a military expansion conference to bring the main frontline generals to St. Petersburg. Let ’s discuss together what we have achieved on the battlefield this year and the military deployment next year.

Here comes, everyone knows it's time to settle accounts after the fall. How could it not be held accountable for such a defeat on the front line?
The front is because the German-Austrian coalition is still attacking, and both sides are busy fighting. In that case, naturally, they cannot be held accountable.
Now that the battle on the front line has stopped, the results will be different, and everyone can sit down and take accountability slowly. The resignation, the commendation, and the military court should be sent to the military court.
The contradiction between the Russian government and the military has always existed, but it is not very intense, and it is usually suppressed.
Now that Nicholas II is in trouble for the military, the government naturally has no opinion. Many of them are ready to make it difficult for the military.
The 6th Minister of the Army replied: "Yes"
He knew that this time the trouble was big. This year, the Russian army lost more than 4 million, and the casualties were more than 5 million. How can it not be held accountable?
Moreover, Nicholas II had long seen him as unpleasant, and even if he took this opportunity to get him off, it was normal.
After a moment of silence, Zou Nicholas II brow and said: "The war of 1916, we can divide it into two parts, the previous winter offensive, everyone played well. Www.EbookFREE.me ~ Original plan The table conference is still going to be held. The heroes emerging in this battle will summon them all to St. Petersburg, and I will personally meet them to give them awards.
As for the summer war that followed, it was a mess, and I also brought the casks back to me and sent them to the military court for public trial in St. Petersburg. Let everyone see the difference between heroes and bales "
Everyone took a moment's notice, and immediately came to understand that there was no doubt that the commendation of the General Assembly was that Nicholas II was buying the army. The accounting for the fall after the autumn is undoubtedly Liwei.
The Minister of the 6th Army said, "Your Majesty, will there be too many people in this way, and ordinary soldiers will not use it?"
Nicholas II was shocked and thought that his plan had been exposed, but he could only be surprised by the performance of the crowd. So he sneered and asked, "How many people can there be?"
The Minister of the Sixth Army changed greatly, and he knew that he had said something wrong again. Since the Czar wanted to do this, let him do it. Why not find it easy?
He replied stupidly: "Oh, there aren't many about 20,000 or 30,000 people. The specific numbers will not be known until the statistics of the various units have been collected."
Nicholas II glared at him, then slowly said, "Well, just do it."
The meaning is already obvious, count your kid as a friend, this time let you go.
Everyone knew the current affairs and chose to shut up. The tsar's willfulness is not once or twice. As long as it is not a matter of principle, let him go.
You can't stop the Tsar from buying the army, this is a political mistake.
They didn't realize that the danger was about to come, or somebody guessed that it was one or two, and they chose to shut up. Anyway, they are not themselves, so why take the risk to say it?
