On June 3, 1943, on the same day that Admiral Halsey, commander of the U.S. Third Fleet, led three huge task forces out of the Caribbean Sea and into the Atlantic, the Russian Empress Olga was invited by French President Petain to live in the extravagant presidential palace, the Elysee Palace. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Empress Olga arrived in France at the end of an official visit to Germany, and of course in the official capacity of Empress of Russia - following Germany, the French Republic now recognizes Olga's status with considerable enthusiasm.

The elderly President Pétain and Prime Minister Darlan went to Paris to meet the Empress at the Saint-Laza train station, and then drove to the Élysée Palace in the middle of the Parisian people.

And in the talks that followed the welcome banquet in the Élysée Palace, Petain and Darlan made it clear that they supported the restoration of the Romanov dynasty in Russia!

Unlike the German hierarchy, which was controversial over the restoration of the Russian Empire, the French had been very enthusiastic in supporting Empress Olga's restoration since they followed Germany into the war against the Soviet Union.

This stance is not only because of "traditional friendship" but also because of the idea of "uniting with Russia and rejecting reunification."

Because in today's European Community, the German Reich has an overwhelming advantage!

If the people of the German Monarchy, such as Poles, Ukrainians, Lithuanians, Slovaks, and Slovenes, were counted as Germans, the current population of the German Empire far exceeded that of Britain and France combined. Germany's total industrial production is now more than that of all other countries in the European Community combined, and if Ukraine is digested in the future, the "second Rhine zone", its industrial strength (referring to production capacity) will be comparable to that of the United States on the other side of the Atlantic!

In addition, Germany currently firmly controls the oil seas of the Middle East, and will definitely be able to control the European oil tanks in the future.

As a result, in the foreseeable future, Germany will crush the rest of the European Community in terms of population, industry and energy. The prospect of Germany's complete domination of the European Community, or even the integration of the European Community into a single country, is promising.

However, "old France" such as Petain and Darlan will not forget the glory and glory of France in the past, and naturally will not be willing to realize the unity of France and Germany.

And to resist the prospect of European unity, it is obviously not enough to rely on France's own strength, Britain is as unreliable as ever, Italy is even less worth mentioning in the eyes of the French, and only Russia, a clumsy big man, can rely on it.

Not to mention the rejection of reunification by force, that is, to resist peaceful reunification, the Russian Empire can also come in handy. Because as long as the USSR becomes Russia, and the tsar of the Russian Empire is surnamed Hohenzollern, Germany's dream of European integration cannot but be played with Russia.

That's more than 100 million Russians! When the time comes, the French will have no opinion, will the Germans be willing to peacefully reunite with them?

Therefore, in order to allow more than 100 million rough and barbaric Russians to join the big family of Europe, the French are very willing to give some blood money.

"Your Majesty, based on the traditional friendship between our two countries in the past, the French government is now ready to do everything to help Russia get back on the right track."

At the very beginning of the talks, French Prime Minister Darlan made his position clear to the Russian Empress and the Chief Minister who accompanied her on her visit to France, Duke Wrangel.

"Thank you very much for the friendship of the French people," replied the Empress in fluent French, without relying on an interpreter, "and with your commitment, I am sure that my trip to France will be very fruitful...... In fact, now is the critical moment for the Russian Empire to get back on track, and we need French support that will make France and Russia best friends in the future. ”

Marshal Petain nodded and asked, "I also look forward to France and Russia becoming best friends, and now we are willing to help." So...... Your Majesty, what do you want now? ”

France has now emerged from the catastrophe of 1940, benefiting from the business opportunities brought about by European integration and the world war, and France's industrial production and fiscal revenues have recovered to the levels of 1939. Therefore, there are now enough financial and material resources (except for oil) to assist in the restoration of Belarus.

"That's great." Duke Wrangel, the Empress's chief minister, took up the question at this time, and he also said in French: "Mr. President, Mr. Prime Minister, then you are welcome...... Now we do need something to regain Petrograd. ”

"Whatever you need, just say it." Prime Minister Darlang interjected, guessing that the Russians must need troops the most.

Now the 1st Mechanized Corps of the French Army is now ready and has moved to Poland (originally planned for the reconquest of Warsaw), ready to go to the Leningrad battlefield.

In addition, a new heavy artillery group was formed. The cluster has more than 300 brand-new 194mm cannons, half of which are self-propelled guns, which can be used in street battles in the city of Leningrad.

As soon as the Russians speak, these two forces will immediately join the battle to retake Petrograd!

"What we need most right now is food," Wrangel said, "including flour, cheese, sugar, meat, and so on." Then there are all kinds of light industrial goods, including cloth, clocks, bicycles, sewing machines, radios, and so on. ”

"What?"

Marshal Petain and Admiral Darlan were a little baffled by Wrangel's words. Is this going to be a war or a business? It's okay to talk about food or something, after all, the soldiers on the front line also have to eat, but what about fabrics, clocks, bicycles, sewing machines, and radios?

"This is a prize for the Petrograders who defected to His Majesty!" Wrangel explained, "It is well known that the countries under the Soviet Union were exceptionally poor in terms of means of subsistence!"

Objects that were not valuable to the people of France and Germany were very precious and rare to the people of the second capital of the Soviet Union. The effect of using these prizes is likely to be even better than cannonballs. ”

The idea of bombarding Leningrad with all sorts of sugar-coated shells was put forward by traitors who had defected to the Empress. In addition to the "three turns and one ring", food and fabrics, Empress Olga also had millions of Petrograd household registers and land certificates urgently printed in German printing houses!

All citizens and defenders of Leningrad who defected to Her Majesty the Empress received a Petrograd household register granted by Her Majesty the Empress, and their houses and jobs in Petrograd were retained.

Defectors who did not have housing and work in Petrograd (mainly Red Army soldiers from outside) were also able to get a small plot of land on the outskirts of Petrograd (to build a house) and an opportunity to work in Petrograd as a non-farmer...... In other words, no matter where you are from, no matter what you do, as long as you defect to the Empress, you will have a Petrograd hukou, a homestead, and a good job in no time!

"Mr. Duke, do you really think that with these things, you can make the Soviet troops in Leningrad surrender?" French Prime Minister Darlan asked rhetorically in a skeptical tone.

Empress Olga smiled and said, "Of course, these things alone are useless, but there are a million troops outside Leningrad, and they will give the people inside the city a taste of despair." At that time, the Russian Empire was their only hope. ”

……

"Comrades, the planes of the Germans are gone."

Captain Kaminsky, who was sitting in an underground sidewalk next to Nevsky Prospect smoking a cigarette and dodging the bombing, heard the shouts of the Trotskyite Vaznetsov.

This is a Muscovite in his thirties, and before the Great Purge he was a minor cadre in the city government. I don't know who I offended, I was given the indicators of Trotskyites, convicted of a terrorist group, sentenced to death, then changed to 25 years of labor reform, spent 7 years in Siberia, and was in a labor camp with Kaminsky. At the end of 42, he was mobilized by Kaminsky to join the Red Army, but he did not restore his reputation, so he was just a soldier - this infantry battalion where Kaminsky was located was really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, and he grabbed a small soldier at will, and before the Great Purge, he was a cadre, and two were even political cadres in the Red Army! Speaking of revolutionary truths, even the deputy political battalion commander Ivanov is not comparable.

"What? Really flew away? Why didn't you hear the bomb explode? Kaminsky swaggered to the exit of the sidewalk with a cigarette in his mouth, poked his head out and looked around, as if he wasn't sure.

"It's not bombs that are dropped, it's reactionary leaflets...... I heard that the Germans were going to give Leningrad to Olga. Romanova was the capital, so she was reluctant to throw bombs, and threw paper bullets. As he spoke, Vaznetsov casually shoved Kaminsky with a leaflet emblazoned with the Tsarist double-headed eagle.

Kaminsky just didn't see it, took the leaflet and looked down, and said with a smile: "Give Petrograd a household registration, give back a homestead, arrange a job, and reward clocks, bicycles, sewing machines, radios...... Who's up with this? ”

As soon as he said this, half a company of soldiers who had been huddled in the underground passage (they had come out to patrol with Kaminsky) poured out, and everyone picked up a leaflet to study the new trends in the class struggle.

"It must be a traitor," Vaznetsov took the question, "a traitor is the most hateful!" But what's the use? Who's going to be fooled? ”

As he spoke, he threw away the reactionary leaflets, and then Kaminsky and dozens of Red Army soldiers below also threw the leaflets...... Oh, and it can't be said that it was thrown away, but it was never picked up, and I never even heard of such a thing as a reactionary leaflet, and of course no one would report it to the political deputy battalion commander Ivanov.

Because of this reactionary thing, I still don't know the best! (To be continued.) )
