Hersman seems to have been misled by later history textbooks, or by the Chinese's perception of the Russian Revolution. In fact, Britain, France, the United States, and other countries did not support the restoration of the Romanov dynasty in Russia - although the Tsar's entire family was executed by the Bolsheviks in history, there were still people in the Romanov family who fled, and it was not difficult to find someone to be the new Tsar. And the White Guards at that time were based on royalists, and a tsar was exactly what they needed.

But Britain, France, and the United States never considered finding a Grand Duke from the Romanov family to be the Russian Tsar. Perhaps in their eyes, there is no essential difference between Tsarist Russia, Soviet Russia and the German Empire, and they are all objects that need to be guarded against and contained.

This is probably the main reason for the final failure of the Entente's intervention in the Russian Revolution!

"Edward, Stephen, hello."

At 10 Downing Street, inside the British Prime Minister's office, an important guest was visiting. One of the two guests who visited was the special envoy of the President of the United States, Edward Edward. Mandal. Colonel House - this is a little old man in his sixties, somewhat thin, bald, with a mustache. Although he had the rank of colonel, he did not actually serve in the army, which was an "honorary rank". He was a big figure in the British and American banker circles. Howson was an agent of the Rothschilds during the American Civil War.

And the other visitor was the French Foreign Minister Stephen Brown. Bi Xun -- this is a fat man, when the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China, he was the French minister to China, and he struggled all his life for the interests of expanding the French Empire, and was the best partner of the "tiger" Clemenceau.

"Have you read Lieutenant Colonel Alexander's report?" British Prime Minister Lloyd's. George got straight to the point, "The Grand Duchess is obviously not a good partner to work with. ”

The Duke of Levouf and Kerensky, who were good collaborators, were in Paris, but Olga ignored them, and the generals of the White Guards ignored their presence.

"The main force supporting her is still the Germans!" According to the French Foreign Minister, "in the Baltic she has an army of 150,000 to 200,000, of which 100,000 are Germans...... This is a violation of the Compiègne Forest Agreement and the Fourteen Points for Peace. ”

Lloyd's. George nodded, frowned, and said: "There are almost the same number of White Guards in the Don River and the North Caucasus who support her, most of them are Cossacks, of course they support the Tsar!" There are also supporters in Siberia, and Admiral Kolchak, who has just staged a coup d'état, has made it clear that he supports Olga. Semyonov in the Far East held the same view...... Now it seems that only the Provisional Government of North Russia in Murmansk did not show allegiance to her. So, what do we do now? ”

The White generals in the Provisional Government of North Russia actually supported Olga, but they did not dare to express their position under pressure from the Anglo-American-French forces.

"Can't admit her at the moment, that's for sure!" The French Foreign Minister said, "And pressure should continue to be put on her to force her to expel the German troops in the Baltic!" ”

Obviously, Hersmann's grasp of the French diplomatic line was very wrong - the Franco-Russian alliance was not the first choice of the French authorities at this time. Because in the wishful thinking of the French, Germany should be weakened and even dismembered to the maximum after the war, and it was no longer a threat to France.

And the French do not intend to analyze the hegemony of the European continent with Russia, they have a more ideal partner in Eastern Europe - Poland! It is more reassuring to raise the Poles to "calm the dew" than to maintain a feared Great Russian Empire to deter a crippled Germany.

As for the attitude of the British towards Russia, it was about the same as the French. The attitude of the British towards the European continent is very clear, that is, there can be no hegemon. And the countries that are likely to become the hegemon of the European continent are France, Germany (including HRE or something), and Russia for hundreds of years. If these three countries were to be ranked on a threat scale, before the World War they would have been Germany first, Russia second, and France third, because France had the least population, territory, and resources among the three countries.

And after the defeat of Germany, it was possible for the Russian Empire to leap to the first place in Europe! Therefore, the current situation of civil war in Russia is actually quite in line with the interests of the British Empire.

"Mr. Minister," asked Colonel House of the United States, who seemed to be ignorant of the calculations of England and France, "shall we send troops to the Baltics?" ”

"No, it can't be like that." Lloyd's. George hurriedly waved his hand, "This is tantamount to supporting the Bolsheviks, this is not good!" ”

The French foreign minister also explained: "We just don't recognize it...... It's just not admitted. ”

Olga is the legitimate Empress of Russia after all! Just not admitting that it is already tantamount to helping the Russian Bolsheviks, and then sending troops to deal with her, then the capitalists and aristocrats who are afraid of the Bolsheviks in Britain and France should not jump?

Besides, if the White Guards, who supported Olga, had fallen, Russia would have been unified by the Bolsheviks. A united Russia, after all, is not divided, and it is reassuring.

"Then we want to recognize Soviet Russia?" The American colonel, who was a little confused, asked again.

"I don't admit it either!" Lloyd's. George and Bixun spoke in unison.

"Let the Provisional Government of North Russia represent Russia?" The colonel asked again.

"No, neither can they." said the British Prime Minister.

"Is it necessary to set up a government in exile in Paris?" Colonel House actually meant who was coming to the peace conference on behalf of Russia.

The Russians have fought so hard for so many years that they have broken themselves. It's not easy to win now, so you should get a little dirty, right? In this way, it will be easy to talk when you need the help of the Russians in the future.

"No, it's not." Foreign Minister Bi Xun and Lloyd. George exchanged glances. The British Prime Minister said: "Actually, there will be no government representing Russia at the moment...... At least for now, no one can represent Russia. ”

"No one can represent Russia?" Colonel House was stunned, this was also unexpected. "And what about the peace meeting?"

"There will be no representatives of Russia," said the British Prime Minister, "that Britain, the United States, France will rule the world together!" ”

……

"They don't recognize me, and they don't recognize the Russian Empire...... It's so sad. ”

The white winter sun on the walls of Tombea did not melt the snow, but it brought a little warmth. Hersman was walking through the snow with a battered future empress.

"My Majesty, they will support you eventually." Hersmann's voice was soft, but very firm. "When the peace conference is over, they will think of Russia after they have carved up the world."

"After dividing up the world, then to carve up Russia?" The words of the Grand Duchess were full of mockery.

Maybe! Hersmann thought to himself: Isn't the independence of the Baltic states, Finland and Russian Poland a weakening of Russia? Historically, the Entente's goal was Ukraine, but it didn't succeed. If the Poles or Petliura had succeeded, I am afraid that there would not have been that red empire so strong that it made the entire Western world tremble.

"How long will the peace conference last?" The Grand Duchess asked again at this time.

"The plan is to start on January 18th, and it is estimated that it will take a few months to finish, right?" "Delegates from all over the world have to go to Paris, and it takes a lot of time to get there. ”

"Representatives of the whole world?" The female archduchess snorted coldly, "It just doesn't include the Russian representatives!" They can hold meetings for months, but I can't wait that long, the White Guards need a tsar, and I can do it. This is my responsibility and what my father, mother, brother and sister look forward to in Heaven. I will take this responsibility on their behalf and lead Russia to rejuvenation! ”
