Vol 4 Chapter 152: Fall of St. Petersburg

7On July 23, 1917, the German army broke through the Russians' interception, led by Marshal August von Mackensen through Lithuania and headed straight for St. Petersburg.
Although the Hindenburg government was very dissatisfied with Marshal August von Mackensen, the task was still given to him. Now is the time of war, everything is for the purpose of winning the war. Even if you want to fight revenge, you have to wait for the fall to calculate it, right?
The Russian army command in Lithuania happened to have been attacked by the Germans that day, resulting in nine dead and eleven injuries, including the commander of the First Army Lieutenant General Mordolf Nicholas also died on the spot!
Due to the paralysis of the high-level command system, the chaos of the Russian First Army continued until three days later. The front army appointed a new commander of the Group Army and returned to normal. At this time, the best pursuit time has been missed!
After receiving the news, Ferdinand just sighed slightly. He knew that St Petersburg was over. Although there were still hundreds of kilometers from Lithuania to St Petersburg, the Russians did not deploy any army at all.
The most funny thing is that the frontline Russian army did not immediately pursue the German army because of internal chaos, and it was delayed for three days!
This is simply watching the fall of St. Petersburg, otherwise as long as they are closely behind the Germans' ass, even if Germany hits St. Petersburg, it is a fate to be pinched back and forth, and the whole army will be overwhelmed.
Of course, the black hands behind the chaos of the Russian army also surfaced this time. They could no longer want to dive. Now the officers in the Russian army who supported Nicholas II also fought with those who opposed him. The two sides are deadlocked.
Fortunately, the Russian civil war is about to erupt from the army first, but in the end the Tsarist officers took the upper hand, but they were anxious to rescue St. Petersburg, and there was no time to clean the opposition!
After receiving the information, Nicholas II immediately furiously attacked the opposition aristocracy, but unfortunately, people went to the building empty. When they left, they also did a major thing, which was to burn the food warehouse in St. Petersburg.
Even though the Tsarist government organized the fire fighting in time, the damage was still severe, especially the explosion of several warehouses storing flour, which eventually caused hundreds of casualties and destroyed hundreds of thousands of tons of food.
The hope of the Tsarist government to stay in St. Petersburg is gone, of course, it also means that even if the Germans occupied St. Petersburg, they could not expect it for a long time. It is a double bird!
Uh ...
In the face of this trick, the Tsarist government was dumbfounded. This is just killing them!
And can they give up in St. Petersburg? Obviously not, once you give up the light spit stars, they can drown them!
Can Saint Petersburg hold on? If there is no destruction by these people, it can certainly be kept. This is the capital of the Russian Empire. As long as they persist for a while, reinforcements from all directions will arrive. At that time, it will not be a problem to siege the German army?
But now all this is impossible. Although there is still a large amount of food in the Russian Empire, the food in the warehouses in Siberia and the Caspian Sea is almost ready to rot. Unfortunately, some railways have been damaged. In the short term, these foods cannot be transported. Come in St. Petersburg!
I have to say that the enemy's calculation is very accurate. As long as the Tsarist government gave up St. Petersburg, the prestige of Nicholas II will be fatally hit, and it will no longer be able to suppress the bulls and snakes of the country, and their chance will be coming!
Uh ...
Russia is about to unrest. What are the Allies doing?
The reality is very cruel, Ferdinand is good at making a point, even if he did n’t support Nicholas II's sister-in-law this time, did n’t he make a mess?
The performance of Britain and France is very chilling. People directly associate with the Russian bourgeoisie and use the embassy to facilitate them. Even if the new government is established, their interests will not be slightly lost. !!
Of course, the Russian anti-government forces are not monolithic. The aristocratic class wants revolution only to kill the life of Nicholas II and will certainly not kill them together, so they are still the so-called "constitutional monarchs"!
The bourgeois revolution is going to be fierce. They hope to reach the imperial system and establish a bourgeois republic, just like the United States and France, so the noble class is also an obstacle to them!
There is also the Bolshevik Party. There is no doubt that their revolutionary stance is the most firm and thorough. Both nobles and capitalists are their enemies!
Once the Czar falls, the future Russian Empire will most likely stage a Romance of the Three Kingdoms. If coupled with the forces supporting Nicholas II, it may even evolve into a Romance of the Four Kingdoms!
Uh ...
Time passed quickly, and as soon as August entered, the world war was still anxious.
Jeff Ferdinand's recent days have not been very good, because the Russian matter has been unstable in recent days, Princess Xenia, even with a few little guys are living carefully, for fear of causing the mother's unhappiness.
This made Ferdinand secretly rejoice, but fortunately, he did not take action this time, otherwise the Russian civil war has not yet erupted, and maybe his own palace will have a civil war first!
Phoebe Ferdinand asked: "Are we really not going to get involved in my father's Russia?"
Ferdinand smiled and said, "Do you think it is better to be a neighbor with a strong Russian empire, or is it better to be a neighbor with a torn apart Russia?"
Phoebe Ferdinand said without hesitation: "Of course, this fragmented Russia is more in our interest! Father I know what to do, but how should the mother explain it?"
Ferdinand patted his shoulder with his hand, and said with confidence: "That ’s why I did n’t do anything. All these things are done by Britain and France. We just defaulted on their approach. Your mother should also make sense. Can't this blame me! "
The expression on Phoebe Ferdinand's face is so beautiful, what do we do nothing? Without our cooperation, could the British and French actions be so smooth?
However, he still chose to play silly decisively. Anyway, now that both Britain and France are the first birds, Bulgaria will continue to be an ostrich. Otherwise, if there is something wrong with the unlucky family in St. Petersburg, this account should not be remembered by the mother. Father and son?
After thinking of this terrible consequence, Ferdinand Little decided that no matter what he would do in the future, he would n’t be able to do so without saving his hatred!
A servant girl said softly, "Your Majesty, Mr. Sim asks."
Ferdinand did not mean to avoid Ferdinand, he was already the crown prince, and he was not too young. Many things were accessible to him.
"Let him in!"
The intelligence chief Sim gave a salute to the two, and then said, "Sir, the Russian side has just heard the news that the Germans have captured St. Petersburg, the Tsarist government had evacuated before the city broke, and our people based on their evacuations Judging by the route, there is a great possibility that they will go to Moscow! "
"Moscow" Ferdinand figured that Nicholas II's brain was flooded. I wonder if it is already the capitalist's base there? With a brain in it, do you really think that capitalists are soft persimmons?
However, after considering the special circumstances of the Russian Empire, he had to admit that the Tsarist government has no choice now. After losing St. Petersburg, there are not many cities that can become the capital of the Russian Empire. Moreover, they do not think that capitalists dare to rebel now!
Of course, the 10,000-strong army that accompanied them is their real confidence. After all, the capitalists are not the opponents of the regular army.
In theory, more than 10,000 people are enough to suppress everything, at least there is no armed force in Moscow that can compete with them!
After a moment of contemplation, Ferdinand said, "The people who ordered us to pay close attention to the situation in Moscow, especially the actions of the Bolshevik party!"
"Yes!" Sim answered in reply.
"Ferdinand Little, guess what, what will happen to the Russian Empire next?" Ferdinand asked
Ferdinand Jr. thought about it and said, "Because of the loss of St. Petersburg, the tsarist government's prestige is greatly lost, and then the major forces in the Russian Empire will jointly attack the tsarist government. My puppet is likely to lose his hand this time. May even lose the throne, and then be succeeded by Alexei or Hayiel Alexandrovich! "
Ferdinand shook his head and said, "Well, the analysis is good, but what you said is based on the premise of the royalists, but now Moscow is the bourgeoisie!
As enemies, would they pass Nicholas II so easily? "
Phoebe Ferdinand said in amazement: "Father, can they dare not succeed?"
Ferdinand quickly stopped: "Your boy whispered a little, just in case your mother knows, there is your good fruit behind!
The capitalists of the Russian Empire naturally did not dare to defeat the monarchs. At least the frontline loyal forces of the Tsar were still there, and they would not take risks, but others were not necessarily! "
Ferdinand meant something, but he didn't say it directly and asked Ferdinand Jr. to think about the problem himself.
Looking at the puzzled Ferdinand, he added: "Remember, our conversation today cannot let your mother know, otherwise she will let you find a way to save your uncle's family, and you will go alone. solve!"
Phoebe Ferdinand said in shock: "Ah, father isn't it! You don't care? If you let your mother know, she will tear down your palace!"
Fidi South said without changing the color: "I don't care! The palace is everything outside her body, she likes to dismantle it and let him dismantle it, and big deal, I will build a new one, but you will be miserable, she will be in yours every day Bomb in your ear until you yield! "
I paused, and Ferdinand added a very unscrupulous sentence: "This is still limited to your uncle's family. If there is no accident, if there is an accident, maybe she will consider breaking the mother-child relationship with you!"
Fei Xiaonan was half dead by Lei. He looked at Ferdinand resentfully, didn't he just want to keep it secret?
Sim, who was standing aside, was already a cold sweat, and was furiously thinking: It seems that he has heard what he should not listen to, will he not be killed?
But soon Ferdinand rescued him, jokingly said, "You are too timid, Ferdinand, I was frightened to make a joke for you. It's a shame. Your mother has So terrible?
Uh ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Sim you can go down, today you didn't hear anything, understand? "
Simm immediately answered, "Yes, Your Majesty"
I won't run away after talking, now he dare not stay any longer, let's get involved in the housework of the royal family!
Phoebe Ferdinand reluctantly said, "Who is scared, but my mother has been really terrible lately. You can use excuses to do business and hide, and a few of us will be miserable. We will be trained if we have a little difference!"
Ferdinand thought for a moment and said, "You should understand her. Older women are like this. Maybe you can consider queen Maria Feodorovna, so her temper may converge!" "
Phoebe Ferdinand was lost in contemplation, and seemed to be figuring out whether this would work.
Ferdinand interrupted his contemplation, and said cautiously, "Don't think about Ferdinand, now you should go and tell your mother the good news. You and your family have evacuated from St. Petersburg safely. She should be able to rest assured. Now, your life will be much better! "
Phoebe Ferdinand smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, father!"
Obviously he doesn't think the fall of St. Petersburg, what good news is it, maybe after hearing this news, Senia will be even more angry!
