By December, the Russian Empire was already a country of ice and snow, and the people of St. Petersburg were particularly sad this winter, lacking coal, food, and daily necessities, and in the final analysis, they were still "short of money"!

Due to the hoarding of the capitalists, the common people lacked sufficient heating materials, so everyone had to huddle together to keep each other warm.

Often a small house with an area of less than 10 square meters, there are more than a dozen people, there is no way that the current price of coal is too expensive, it is too luxurious to use for heating, and ordinary people even cook now several families to save money as much as possible.

It's only December, and the temperature is not too low yet, so you can barely cope with it by doing so. If it were January when the weather was at its coldest, I don't know how many people would freeze to death this winter!

It is not only coal that has risen in price, but also other daily necessities, and the price of industrial products has also increased by as much as five times, the price of grain has increased by three times, the price of broken promises has increased by 2.8 times, and the price of meat products has increased by as much as five times.

Of course, there is an inflationary factor in this, but the core reason is that unscrupulous capitalists are hoarding in order to make high profits.

As for the life and death of ordinary people, it is obvious that they will not take it to heart, anyway, the Russian Empire lacks everything, that is, there will be no shortage of people!

Therefore, now everything is going up, but wages are not rising!

Not only St. Petersburg, but also other cities of the Russian Empire saw prices rise of varying degrees. Capitalists are all living creatures, and at the same time as prices are skyrocketing, the wages of ordinary people in the entire Russian Empire have not risen at all!

Krisky, an ordinary mechanical engineer who worked in a machine factory in St. Petersburg and was paid twice as much as the average worker, should have had a good life.

Unfortunately, the good days only existed before the outbreak of the war, and with the outbreak of the world war, the prices in Russia rose sharply, and Chryski's good days came to an end.

Although he is an engineer and his technical ability is also very top-notch, his status in the factory is not very good, and ordinary workers are almost the same, the same to work on the production line, the same overtime shifts, the same will be deducted wages for no reason, only if there is a problem with the machinery, the factory management will think of him as an engineer!

Early that morning, as usual, he came to the factory, and when he heard everyone talking, he roughly understood that because of the needs of the war, they needed to work an extra hour every day.

Undoubtedly, this time it was unpaid overtime again. Anyone who dares to refuse, as usual, will be taught a lesson by the factory managers or thugs, and then sent to prison for the crime of deliberately sabotaging the production of war materials!

Klickis, like most ordinary workers, dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, and he had to endure it in order to support his family!

Even though they are now working up to 14 hours, the unscrupulous capitalists still dare to ask them to work an extra hour.

It is ironic that Russia actually implements an eight-hour work day, and they now have seven hours of "voluntary and unpaid overtime"!

This kind of overtime intensity existed not only in the Russian Empire, but also in almost every participating country, but everyone did not do as much as the Russians, and basically paid an overtime wage.

If history had not changed, the Russian working class would soon have another "general strike"!

Don't get me wrong, this is not a spontaneous organization of the working class, they simply do not possess this ability, and even the Bolshevik Party, which is far abroad, does not have such a strong energy now!

Rather, the capitalists want to usurp the rights of the state and do not want to go into battle shirtless. So they often organized "general strikes" with unique Russian characteristics, demanding that the tsarist government reopen the Duma!

That is: marching on the streets during the day and shouting slogans, and going back to the factory at night to work overtime and complete work tasks.

However, this time it was obvious that something was different, the Russian officers and soldiers who had rushed back from the front to receive the commendation had arrived in St. Petersburg one after another, and Nicholas II was already very disgusted by the threats of the capitalists.

Now that he finally has a force completely at his disposal and has nothing to do with the capitalists, if he doesn't do something, is he still a qualified "tsar"?

On December 18, Nicholas II convened a military conference at the Gatchina Palace in St. Petersburg, and the topic of the meeting was very simple, to summarize the reasons for the defeat of the Russian army in 1916, to find out the reasons for the defeat of the war, and to hold those responsible accountable!

If it is left in the East, many people may be wondering whether the emperor will have any deeper meaning in it.

After all, if this is a normal situation, why did Nicholas II hold this meeting in a military fortress outside St. Petersburg?

Whether it's settling accounts after autumn or honoring heroes, St. Petersburg has more than the right place to go!

Of course, now Russia is still Tsarist Russia, and tsarist willfulness is also a Russian tradition.

Isn't it just that the meeting place is in the Gatchina Palace, what's so strange? Think about him, Alexander III also directly moved his family to the Gatchina Palace and became a hermit!

For the convenience of the office, the top level of the Russian government also had to move over, and it was more than ten years to move! Compared to this, Nicholas II's approach is not a big deal!

At this moment, in the palace of Gatchina, high-ranking Russian military officers gathered, this time without the participation of government officials, Nicholas II presided over the meeting in his capacity as the supreme commander of the Russian army.

"It is with a sad heart to see you here today, history will always remember 1916, the year in which our great Russian Empire set two world records!

In the first half of the year, I achieved the largest victory in human history, although this record was broken after only half a year, which is also worth celebrating; In the second half of the year, we created the largest defeat in the history of mankind!

From the great victory to the great defeat, it took us only nine months, and countless Russian sons and daughters paid for it, do you think my mood can be happy?

Now that the incident has happened, today I will ask the reason for this, and seek justice for these Russian sons and daughters who have given their lives!

Now I swear in the name of God that I, Alexandrovich, must find out the culprit of this defeat of the Russian army and make them pay for it with blood! ”

After speaking, Nicholas II glanced at everyone, and many people were frightened, and some people were suddenly relieved.

Obviously, this is not aimed at them, this time the Russian army was defeated, they may have made a mistake in command, but it definitely does not constitute the main reason for the failure of this campaign!

After a pause, Nicholas II asked coldly: "What about you?" Do you have the determination to seek justice for your dead brothers, subordinates, and comrades-in-arms? ”

"Yes!"

Although the answers were uneven, the voices were very sonorous, and it was clear that the Russian army was not completely rotten.

Nicholas II seemed pleased with the reaction of the crowd, smiled and said: "Then show me with determination!" ”

Obviously, Nicholas II is forcing everyone to side with him, and smart people have already guessed some of his intentions, but at this time, does anyone dare to withdraw?

"I, Gashinia, in the name of God, swear that I will find out the culprit of the defeat of our army, and seek justice for the dead Russian brothers and sisters, and if I break this oath, I will fall to hell forever!"

There is no doubt that this is a pre-arranged trust by Nicholas II, knowing that everyone has chosen to pretend to be stupid because of their tacit understanding, anyway, this time it is not to find their bad luck, and many people still have the joy of the rest of their lives on their faces in a flash!

"I, Oxland, swear in the name of God that I will find out the culprit of the defeat of our army, and seek justice for the dead Russian brothers and sisters, and if I break this oath, I will fall to hell forever!"

……

With the first person taking the lead, the people behind swore to God whether they wanted it or not, and the goal that Nicholas II wanted was achieved.

In this era, everyone's faith is still very pious, and if you make an oath in front of God in front of everyone, if you dare to repent, don't want to continue to mingle.

By the time the last man had made his vow, more than an hour had passed, but Nicholas II did not have the slightest impatience.

"Very well, everyone is a good soldier of the Russian Empire, and I am sure that you will not do things like some people!

Now let's summarize the reasons for our defeat in this campaign!

Only by finding the reason can we find the mastermind behind the scenes; As long as the mastermind behind the scenes is discovered, these blood-sucking moths attached to the Russian Empire can be removed, and the current tragedy will happen again in the future! ”

Admiral Brusilov preemptively said: "Your Majesty, it's strategic material!"

After the start of the war, the ammunition that we brought from the rear, our weapons could not be used at all.

In many cases, soldiers have to re-polish their bullets before they can fit them into magazines, and even if they do, less than half of them can be fired.

The problem of shells was even more serious, many shells went out and fell directly, and there was no explosion at all, and then our soldiers picked him up again, and cut it to see that it was filled with dirt!

I think that inferior weapons and ammunition, and poor logistical supplies, are the main factors that caused the defeat of this war! ”

Lieutenant General Nikolai Nikola Okas immediately added: "All the aircraft that our Air Force can use now are imported! Domestic aircraft are disposable products, and they will be scrapped after one use, and a large number of our excellent pilots did not die on the battlefield, but died on domestic aircraft! ”

……

Come on, now not a fool knows the purpose of Nicholas II, if you don't know the end of the stone, then you are a fool!

After such a big defeat, he must give an explanation to the people. The best back-handed man has appeared, if you don't know how to dump the pot on them and wash away the charges of your defeat, you won't be able to mix up with your current position!

In the spirit of "dead friends, not dead poor people", the Russian military is naturally going to desperately try to find out the capitalists, of course, they are already very dark, everyone just used an exaggerated rhetorical technique!

To sum up: domestic rifles are all burning sticks, domestic cannons are salutes, and domestic airplanes are used to commit suicide......

In addition, the food sent to the front line was moldy, and the soldiers fought while having diarrhea after eating, and the casualties caused by food poisoning were greater than those caused by fighting the enemy......

After a day of discussions, everyone straightened out the logic and unanimously came to the conclusion that the main culprits of the great defeat at the front were the unscrupulous capitalists in the country and the corrupt officials within the government!

The unscrupulous capitalists took advantage of the Allies and colluded with the domestic bureaucracy to send a large number of inferior weapons to the front and harm the Russian army!

But the heroic Russian soldiers, even if they won the enemy with these inferior weapons, the enemy had no choice but to pay a lot of money to buy these capitalists again, so that they poisoned the food of the front-line troops, causing a large number of casualties.

They inflicted more than twice as many casualties on the Russian Imperial Army as the Allies inflicted on the Russian army! Originally, the battle loss ratio between the two sides was 1:1, and the extra casualties were poisoned by the domestic capitalists.

Therefore, as long as these capitalist moths are cleaned up in the country, the great Russian army can immediately defeat the Allies and win the war!

The result that Nicholas II wanted came out, and as soon as the Russian military agreed with him, the Russian capitalists were about to be finished!

"Here is a list of unscrupulous capitalists who have caused millions of Russian soldiers to die on the battlefield, who have caused the displacement of tens of millions of Russians!

Now I authorize you to form a hoe commission at once, and lead the troops to arrest these moths, and if you resist, you will be killed on the spot!

The Caucasian Front is responsible for the eastern part of the city, the Northern Front is responsible for the northern part of the city, the Western Front is responsible for the western part of the city, the Southwestern Front is responsible for the south of the city, and the Navy and Air Force are responsible for the fish that slip through the net!

……”

Nicholas II's way of dealing with it is really very "tsar", simply and rudely!

Persuaded the high-ranking officers, also gave them time to prepare, and immediately issued a military order to let them start acting!

But I have to say that this is also very effective, even if the news leaks in such a short time, the capitalists will not even have time to flee for their lives, where will there be time to organize a counterattack?

The fly in the ointment is that such a thing can only be done once, and if it is done in St. Petersburg, the capitalists scattered in other cities of Russia will get the news, and there is no way to catch them all!

However, Nicholas II was not worried that St. Petersburg, the capital of the Russian Empire, was home to some of Russia's most powerful capitalists, while those in other regions were much weaker.

As long as this nest of capitalists in St. Petersburg is eliminated, the others will not have to worry, even if they want to make trouble, the millions of Russian troops in his hands are not decorations, enough to suppress any civil strife!

"Your Majesty, what if the city guards intercept you?" Admiral Brusilov asked worriedly

Nicholas II said murderously: "We give them an order to let the city guards and police stay in the garrison honestly, and if there are anyone who dares to come out and make trouble, they will directly be exterminated by me as a rebel!" ”

"Yes!" The crowd replied in unison
