"We've won!"

"We repelled the Germans!"

"Long live the emperor, long live the navy!"

On the battleship "Sevastopol", the royal family and nobles rushed to celebrate, and the door of the tsar's bedroom and the command room of the battleship were crowded with dignitaries and dignitaries who came to celebrate.

"General, you are truly remarkable! is so heroic at a young age, His Majesty the Emperor will definitely entrust him with important tasks in the future! Commodore Kolchak, the temporary commander of the fleet, surrounded him by a group of bejeweled ladies and almost knocked him unconscious with compliments, compliments, winks, and the strong smell of perfume. Especially the middle-aged noblewoman, who was a little exaggerated, whose screams seemed to be sharpest when the destroyer exploded, and the speed of her fainting was so fast that even the planes could not catch up, and after breaking away from contact with the German fleet, she jumped up with lightning speed, and now, it was her frieze that threw the most charming, so that the brigadier suddenly lost his appetite for lunch.

"Everybody's got a prize! In fact, the commanders of the ships were very calm and brave, especially the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country in battle, and their spirit was even more admirable! Kolchak couldn't stand the atmosphere and tried his best to push it off, but the ladies had no intention of leaving.

"Beautiful and distinguished ladies, we are about to enter the port of Pokhara, which is too small and has no great view. If you don't want to miss the beautiful view of the harbor, I suggest you go to the bow deck or the side of the ship, which is a great place to enjoy the scenery, and your presence there will definitely amaze the officers and generals who greet us in the port! ”

The crowd around finally dispersed, and there was still a strong fragrance in the air. Kolchak suddenly felt a figure next to him, and when he turned his head, he was really startled, and what appeared in front of him was a face as white as a piece of paper.

"Ah...... Your Highness, it's you! How did you get out! Your body ......"

"Ahem! Cough! Nothing, General, congratulations on being able to repel the German fleet! "Grand Duke Nikolai looked much weaker than yesterday, and he didn't even have the strength to straighten his waist, and his body seemed to shrink, which is why Kolchak was able to see his face when he turned around.

"Your Royal Highness, I'm really ashamed! The German fleet did not retreat, they were still cruising not far behind us! We didn't inflict heavy losses on them in the battle just now, but fortunately, His Majesty the Emperor and the members of the royal family are safe! "In the face of the commander-in-chief of the Russian army, Kolchak did not dare to hide it at all.

"Hmmm! Although the battle just now sounded fierce, not a few shells hit the battleships on both sides, right? Grand Duke Nikolai said in a low voice as he walked to the chair next to him. It wasn't until he sat down that the words sounded clearer.

"Yes, His Highness! We hit only one German battleship, the specific losses of the opposing side are ominous, and it is estimated that there will not be much damage; Our "**** Hoff" was hit by two German shells, and several more near-misses also caused some damage to it, and more than two dozen sailors on it were wounded and killed. In order to prevent the torpedoes dropped by German aircraft from hitting the battleship, the destroyers "Andrey" and "Cabo" were killed, and all the officers and men on the two ships were killed! Kolchak replied while looking at the pale face of the Grand Duke worriedly, and the Grand Duke's state even made people feel a little panicked, lest he would cough up blood and die in the next second.

"I don't know much about naval warfare, but it's a pity that none of our marshals are here! Thankfully, we arrived safely at port, but I'm still worried that Pokhara's batteries are barely able to hold off the German fleet, but not the German planes! After entering the port, I will accompany His Majesty the Emperor to the palace in Helsinki, and this fleet will be entrusted to you! Be sure to protect them, this may be the last naval power of the Empire! Hopefully, in the near future, we will be able to return to St. Petersburg on this ship! The Grand Duke's words were interrupted by coughing, and now even the cough sounded weak.

"Yes! Your Highness, I see! That German fleet consisted of only a few old battleships, and after you and Your Majesty disembarked, I would leave the harbor with the fleet and repel them completely! Kolchak felt that if he hadn't been for the comfort of the emperor and others, he could have won the artillery battle.

However, the Grand Duke shook his hand, "Don't! The Germans were accustomed to having a certain number of submarines in their fleet, and presumably the same was true of the German fleet! The Germans will lead you into a submarine ambush! The British Navy has suffered such losses, and these are the information I got from the British! ”

"But German planes ......"

"Lightning nets! Placing mine nets near battleships would have been able to stop torpedoes dropped by German aircraft, and as for the bombs of German aircraft, our British allies have taught us from experience that those bombs were far less powerful than torpedoes! The Grand Duke seemed to have come out of it in order to tell Kolchak these things, which made the brigadier general suddenly feel inexplicably moved.

"Your Royal Highness, you can summon me to your room without dragging the sick body out......"

"No, I'm not as serious as you think, it's better to come out and take a walk!" After sitting for a while, Grand Duke Nikolai looked a little recovered, "We're entering the port!" ”

The whistle on the battleship answered the Grand Duke's question for Kolchak, as the emperor's ship, the "Sevastopol" was the first to enter the channel, the sailors were already lined up on both sides of the ship, and the royal nobles waved to the naval officers and sailors in the harbor on the deck and bridge, and for the sake of safety, the tsar and empress did not appear outside, and even the crown prince and princess stayed in the cabin at this time.

"General, don't mind helping me up!" The Grand Duke stretched out his right hand, and he quickly felt Kolchak's broad and powerful palm.

Accompanied by the Commodore General, the Grand Duke came to the front of the command room, where flags were fluttering on the pier, and although it was not a crowd, there were still a large number of naval officers and men waiting in line.

"Your Highness, General, a signal has been sent from the port, the Governor and his entourage have been attacked by the Revolutionary Party on the road, those Revolutionary Parties have been repulsed, and the Governor and others will arrive soon!" An officer walked in and reported to the two.

"What an astonishment! I hope the revolutionary party here is not as fierce as it is at home! The Grand Duke said softly, but the dizziness that followed made him have no time to think about it, "Forget it, I'd better go back and rest for a while!" After docking, let the guards go ashore first, and then ask His Majesty the Emperor to board the dock. General, your mission is complete! ”

"Yes, His Royal Highness!"

Looking at the back of the Grand Duke, Kolchak felt a little desolate, and he quickly turned his gaze back to the dock. There, about 2,000 officers and men of the Navy lined up in a neat line, most of them with rifles on their backs and looked very vigilant, and behind them, a long line of cars and trucks was quietly parked on the docks.

Kolchak breathed a sigh of relief at the thought that the important escort mission had been successfully completed, and he walked slowly to the bridge, which was filled with the strong smell of perfume, and he did not smell anything unusual in the air.

Amid the cheerful music, the huge battleship slowly approached the dock, and as soon as the gangway was lowered, the Guards soldiers jumped ashore and lined up along the red carpet on the pier in two lines, which led to a car in the middle of the convoy.

After a while, Tsar Nicholas II walked out of the cabin with Empress Alexander in his arms, followed by 10-year-old Crown Prince Alexei, 18-year-old Princess Olga, 17-year-old Princess Tatiana and 14-year-old Princess Anastasia. The sailors on board saluted the distinguished passengers and watched them slowly walk to the ship's side aisle.

When the emperor and his entourage walked onto the side of the ship, the eyes of the naval officers and men on the dock flashed, but the people on the ship did not notice the slightest abnormality.

Something always seems to be wrong!

Kolchak always felt that there seemed to be something hidden behind this dock, but he could never say why. On the docks, the military band kept playing exciting and cheerful music, but the scene always made him feel cold, not because of a lack of popularity, but because of the monotonous desertion - the dock was basically full of naval officers and sailors.

Archduke Nicholas had a similar feeling as the Tsar's family walked down the ship's sidewalk, and the pier seemed to be enveloped by a strange atmosphere.

Unbeknownst to them, the governor of Helsinki and the government officials who had come to greet him were being held in a warehouse not far from the docks, with dozens of black guns pointed at them.

On the batteries on both sides of the harbor, the cannons were aimed at the warships that were entering the channel.

On the dock, the Navy soldiers in the back row quietly unloaded the rifles on their backs and held them in their hands.

In the harbor, the guns were loaded and the torpedoes were fired, and the muzzles and torpedo tubes were facing the huge battleship docked on the pier.

The whole world seemed to be silent, except for the crisp footsteps of the Tsar's leather boots on the deck.

The whole world seemed to be black and white, and only the figure of the Tsar had a brilliant and deadly color.

Nicholas II was the first to walk down the gangway, and at this moment, countless people began to hold their breath.

For the officers and sailors of the navy on the docks, if the tsar successfully boarded the car and left the place under the escort of the Guards, then all their efforts would be in vain.

Fate is locked on this red carpet!

As a representative of the officers and men of the navy, an officer in the uniform of a rear admiral walked briskly down the red carpet with several other colonels, while the officers and men of the Guards watched these men come to the Tsar, but ......

In an instant, the foreboding of Grand Duke Nikolai and Kolchak was all fulfilled, and many more people were dumbfounded.

The officers walked up to the Tsar and gave a military salute, then drew their pistols and pointed them at the master of the fallen empire.

The Tsar's eyes widened, he couldn't believe what was in front of him. In full view, he, the emperor of the Tsarist Empire, was hijacked by his own naval officers and soldiers.

This is definitely a premeditated rebellion!

The naval officers and men on the dock raised their weapons one after another, and the Tsar's Guards showed no weakness, and both sides raised their guns at a very close distance, but neither side fired a shot, neither the revolutionaries nor the Guards, and no one wanted to see the Tsar die here.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, now, in the name of the revolution, we arrest you!"

The military bands had already scattered and fled, the revolutionaries and the guards were in a cold confrontation, and the whole dock was silent. At this time, the voice sounded so loud that it pierced deep into the hearts of everyone present.

The Guards soldiers were nervous and panicked, but the revolutionaries opposite them did not seem calm. In particular, many of the officers and men of the Navy at the naval base, who had been loyal to the Tsar and the Russian Navy a day before, were not so determined as quasi-revolutionaries who had become halfway home.

This cry shook everyone's hearts and cut off the retreat of those wavering quasi-revolutionaries.

"How dare you ......," roared the Tsar angrily, and the officers had caught him in the middle, and the Guards surrounded them tightly as they protected the Empress and the others as they retreated back to the gangway.

Everyone present trembled again at the shouts of the Tsar, the ladies who had not had time to faint just now fainted with all their might, and the gentlemen standing on the deck stumbled back into the cabin.

The young rear admiral in front of the tsar looked very calm, in fact he was not a rear admiral at all, he was only the head of the revolutionary party in this military port.

"Listen up! The whole port is under our control, you don't have to try to escape from here, the artillery of the battery has blocked the channel, and every warship in the harbor has torpedoed this warship. There is no way for you to escape, and the only way for you to survive is to lay down your arms and accept the judgment of the revolution! ”

The men on the warship panicked, and they found that, as the man had said, the destroyers and torpedo boats in the harbor were slowly moving, and most of the torpedo tubes were already aimed at the area.

"The battleship is ready to move at any time! All naval guns ready! Kolchak quietly gave the order, and his sailors were a little dazed, but they still carried out the order.

Soon, the secondary guns on both sides of the battleship "Sevastopol" were all turned and aimed at the small battleships that had already raised the red flag.

The revolutionaries and the Guards confronted each other like this, there were no gunshots, no shouting, but the atmosphere suffocated everyone.

The revolutionaries slowly moved backwards with the emperor in their arms, and the muzzles of the guards soldiers were almost next to their heads, but their muzzles were also on the head of the tsar, and no one dared to fire the first shot.

For those revolutionaries, the arrest of the Tsar would have been declared a success as long as they returned to the periphery of the navy.

For the officers and men of the Guards, they had to free the tsar before the men retreated to the crowd outside.

At this time, the revolutionaries were only 10 meters away from victory.

Suddenly, several planes flew low over the pier, and the white iron crosses on the wings looked so dazzling and eye-catching!
