Chapter 118, the parties plotted

Since the 18th century, the Russian Empire has appeared in the eyes of the world as an image of fighting the revolution and saving the monarchy.

Even during the time of Alexander III, there was a story that "the tsar was resting and making the world wait."

"Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi!"

The Russian Empire, once the defender of the monarchy and regarded as the savior of the European countries, has now been crushed by the revolutionary party, and now it is actually asking the international community for help!

"Are you sure it's April Fool's Day?" A lot of people think.

Apparently not!

……

London

Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin seems to feel that he has not woken up, and the tsarist government can't control the situation in the country?

You know, the British Empire supported the Russian Civil War, and it also supported the new tsarist government, and they would not support any proletarian government!

As a result, isn't it a great irony that the final victor was actually the Soviet-Egyptian government that had no support?

Soon, he discovered that this opportunity, the united Russian Empire, had so great potential for development that no country in the world could compare with them.

But a divided Russian Empire, not so terrible. After the partition, Russia is still a big country, but it does not have the strength to threaten the British Empire!

At the same time, the nascent Soviet and Egyptian regimes, the Nicholas Jr., and the tsarist government will lose their qualifications to dominate the world.

As for the fact that the little Niko regime is now ruined, and the tsarist government is almost abolished, and the Soviet-Egyptian government is making a big problem, isn't there still Bulgaria?

Just find something to do for the Bulgarians, let them know what trouble is, and save the Bulgarian government from adding to the British Empire everywhere!

Stanley Baldwin thought to himself.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, we should immediately intervene in the Russian civil war, and we must not allow the revolution to expand!" Chancellor of the Exchequer Chamberlain said in a dignified manner

As the spokesman for the interests of the bourgeoisie, the London government must stand up and suppress the proletarian revolution, even if it does not directly send troops to suppress it, it must make a gesture to come out, this is political correctness!

"Of course, now that the Russians have appealed to the League of Nations for help, the government of Nicholas II has reached the point of exhaustion, and we must convene a meeting of the League of Nations as soon as possible to end the Russian civil war!" Stanley Baldwin thought for a moment and said

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I am afraid that the resolution of the League of Nations may not be able to stop this war, and the revolutionaries now have the upper hand, and they will not easily give up the unification of the country!" Foreign Secretary Attlee said with a frown

"It doesn't matter, this time we just need to be responsible for waving the flag and shouting, de jure it is enough to divide the Russian Empire into three, isn't there still Bulgaria as a problem with sending troops?

The Royal-Russian Alliance has been established for so long, and now it's time for the Bulgarians to help! Stanley Baldwin said with a sneer

As long as Bulgaria sends troops to the Russian Empire, then it will inevitably be stained with Russian blood, as long as this blood is allowed to flow deeper, will it be possible for Bulgaria and Russia to maintain such a close relationship in the future?

Besides, the British Empire will completely split the Russian Empire this time, and the strength of the Soviet and Egyptian regimes is not weak, unless Bulgaria can pour its strength into the country, it is impossible for them to help Nicholas II unify the country!

In the future, a revolutionary government hostile to Bulgaria would appear in Siberia, which would greatly reduce the pressure on the British Empire in Asia.

Paris

President Gaston Dumerg is ready to celebrate that the Russian Empire is finally collapsing and that the hegemony of the French Republic on the European continent will become more secure.

"Mr. President, this is an opportunity, if done well, not only to disintegrate the Russian Empire, but also to drag the Bulgarians into the water!" The Foreign Secretary proposed

"That's right, it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for France!

If Bulgaria doesn't want a red regime to appear above them, now they have to help Nicholas II stabilize the situation, at least half of the country!

However, on this issue, it is not good for us to come forward directly and let the British do it, we should support them secretly, so as not to affect the relations with the two countries.

After all, we and Bulgaria are still allies, and our covenant will not expire until 1937, and there are still ten years to go. President Gaston Dumerg said with a smile

As long as the Russian Empire is not united, even if a wave is written, it will pass.

After a dozen or twenty years, once the balance of power is lost, the Russian civil war will break out again, and the Bulgarians will have to continue to wipe their butts for the tsarist government.

The quagmire of the Russian Empire will hold back most of the Bulgarian government's energies and leave them no time to participate in European affairs.

……

What was the real state of affairs in the Russian Empire, no one could know better than Bulgaria, and it was precisely because of this that Ferdinand felt a headache.

The government of Nicholas II is now almost embattled, and this defeat has exploded the contradictions that had been suppressed in the past.

Not to mention falling apart, but internal and external troubles are indeed the current situation of the tsarist government.

There are rebels outside, the government of Nicholas Jr. is starting a counteroffensive, and the government of the Soviet Union is waiting for the water to retreat, and it is about to sweep Liuhe.

Internally, the Poles are fighting for independence, the Finns want independence, the Baltic region is not restless, and there are millions of war refugees waiting for Nicholas II to help.

Internationally, everyone was looking forward to the disintegration of the Russian Empire, and Britain and France wished that the tsarist government would be more miserable, so that the Russian civil war could involve more energy in Bulgaria.

From Ferdinand's point of view, the best choice for the Tsarist government now is to immediately stop the war, recuperate, and win back the hearts of the people!

At the price of peace, the tsarist government was bound to give up large swathes of territory.

For example: abandon the regions east of the Ura Mountains and turn Russia into a purely European state. Another example: to make Russian Poland, Finland and other regions independent.

Even so, the newly born Russia still inherited the essence of the Russian Empire, with a territory of more than 4 million square kilometers and a population of more than 50 million.

With such a rich family background, he has been farming for 20 years, and he is still the gendarme who makes Europe tremble.

It's okay to think so, but if you do, it's probably going to be difficult.

Not everyone has the courage to do this, and Nicholas II may not be able to wait another twenty years.

If he had been patient enough, the Russian Empire would not have been defeated in the Russo-Japanese War, and the Russian Empire would not have suffered heavy losses in the World War.

Without this series of disadvantages, it is not impossible that the tsarist government would still rule the Russian Empire, and even the Slavic Empire would have been established.

……

"Your Majesty, the international situation is now very unfavorable for us, and once Russia is divided, we will be tied to the ship of Nicholas II!" Metev said with a frown

"Well, that's the price! Since the establishment of the Conservative Alliance, Bulgaria has gained a relaxed international environment.

Thanks to this, we have also grown from small to large, from weak to strong, and built a large empire across Europe, Asia and Africa, how can we pay any price?

Moreover, the calculations of Britain and France may not succeed, and the revolutionaries are not fools, and the whole world cannot tolerate them to unify the whole country now.

Launching a war of unification at this time is a complete way to die, and if they retreat in Siberia, we can't help them.

Once you cross the Ura Mountains and enter the European plains, how long do you think their flesh and blood can be held off in front of planes, tanks, and artillery? Ferdinand analyzed unconcernedly

Whether the revolutionary party will fight or not, he is not worried at all, now there are not many young people in the entire Russian Empire, and even if Stalin wants to use the tactics of crowds, he is not qualified?

The flag of the tsarist government is still very useful, with this flag, it is not a war between Bulgaria and the Russian Empire, but a Russian civil war!

To help the Dutch, Ferdinand could send mercenaries, but couldn't he help the Russians?

Under the banner of mercenaries, using Ukrainian land as military salaries, Ferdinand still doesn't believe that he can't defeat Comrade Stalin even if he has exhausted all the Ukrainian land?

At least the current steel ~ iron comrades, there is no army of more than 12 million that can be used, and there are only more than 2 million troops to support the death, even if it is the number of fighters, Ferdinand has the advantage?

"Your Majesty, I don't worry in the slightest about military issues! The key is a political issue, and the ability of the Nicholas II government to govern is really difficult to reassure? Metev said with a wry smile

This is the biggest problem, and it stands to reason that the suppression of rebellion should be carried out in parallel with politics and military.

It's a pity that after so many years, almost all of what everyone sees is military means, and the government of Nicholas II has hardly used political means to lure people to surrender!

Otherwise, the Russian civil war would not have been fought now, and at the beginning of the war, as long as Nicholas II announced: pardon the defective nobles and capitalists, it is estimated that there is no need to fight, and the regime of Nicholas Jr. will be collapsed.

Will the rest of the Moscow government be able to hold on? Perhaps the bourgeoisie, which was the first to come to power at that time, surrendered directly to him.

These are almost all the conventions on the European continent, and if you lose, you admit defeat, and the winner is not killed.

Before modern times, there were very few civil wars that lasted for more than a decade, and often the first battle was won and lost, and in the end everyone compromised with each other.

Of course, the aristocratic wars of the Middle Ages don't count, and people have nothing to do for a day! For a rabbit, a pheasant, a cage of honey, you can do a fight!

"Don't worry, be optimistic. The political means of the tsarist government, although a little bit worse; The rule of officials has also been a little bit decayed, but it is still very good in other aspects.

For example, they have a lot of experience in governing and don't like to toss around, as long as they do nothing, I believe that the Russian Empire will soon return to normalcy! Ferdinand thought for a moment and said

Metyev directly chose to shut up and "rule by doing nothing"? This does not mean that as long as the tsarist government does not care about anything, it just needs to maintain order?

If the standard is so low, it is estimated that anyone can be competent, and it is indeed not easy to have problems.

Ferdinand didn't want to ask for such a low amount, there was really no way, the bureaucrats of the tsarist government had been corrupted, if they didn't do things, it would be fine, as soon as they did things, something would happen!

This is the law that Ferdinand summed up, and now that there is a threat from the revolutionary party, these officials will be more restrained no matter what.

Coupled with the fact that Nicholas II purged the Russian bureaucracy again, the current group of people cannot be said to be the most capable, at least they are the most incorruptible in the Russian Empire for a hundred years.

Compared with their predecessors, at least they did not dare to oppress the people unscrupulously. Even the nascent Russian capitalists, perhaps the Bulgarians, who had done too much business, were somewhat affected and had much stronger discipline than their predecessors.

At least they didn't dare to do the kind of thing that secretly exchanged military rations and produced disposable weapons and equipment.

"Your Majesty, in the absence of external forces, if the tsarist government had only stabilized the situation at home, they might have been able to do the job.

But with the revolutionary party on their side, it is difficult for them to even want stability. Konstantin said very worriedly

"Well, this is indeed the biggest problem of the Russian Empire right now, and an unsolvable puzzle!

All we can do now is to conclude a treaty through the League of Nations and see if we can bind the revolutionaries.

If it doesn't work, then you can only fight first, and if they are hurt, they will obediently obey the rules! Ferdinand thought for a moment and said

It's easy to fight, but the key is that it's not easy to grasp. The blow is light, and there is no deterrent effect; If you hit it hard, you won't beat the revolutionary party to death, so it's still a fart?
