Escort Tsar Nicholas II, Empress Alexandra. The coffins of Feodorovna, Crown Prince Alexei and the three Grand Duchesses, Tatyana, Maria and Anastasia, went to Tallinn, which should have been quite solemn. And after the November Revolution, Berlin was too chaotic to have grand conditions. Fortunately, Riga was quite stable, so Hersman asked the Courland Autonomous State and the Defence Forces to help. A rather large funeral procession was sent, led personally by the Prime Minister of the State of Courland, Baron Pierburg, and the Chief of Staff of the Defence Forces, Lieutenant Colonel Fletcher. On the morning of November 30, 1919, thousands of elite officers and soldiers of the "Iron Division" were also dispatched to Tallinn, the new capital of the United Duchy of the Baltics.

The train dragged white smoke and let out a panting roar, slowly driving into the platform, and suddenly steadied in the smoke. The tune of the national anthem of the Russian Empire, "God Save the Tsar", suddenly sounded. Amid the melodious national anthem, soldiers dressed in yellow-green Courland Defense Force uniforms walked down the train in groups of four, carrying coffins covered with the flag of the Russian Empire.

Hersman then looked out of a window onto the platform. He saw many men in military uniforms and black mourning clothes standing there, and farther away were heavily armed Russian soldiers, whom Hersman already knew, selected from among the White Russian youths who had arrived from all over the country, known as the "Tombean Guard". Commanded by Duke Yusupov, a relative of the Grand Duke Olga, the number exceeded 5000.

The Grand Duchess herself now wears a military uniform, which is reserved for European aristocratic women. The upper body is a blue military dress with ribbons and medals, a fur hat with feathers on the head, and a long skirt on the bottom. Beside her stood an elderly woman, holding a handkerchief in her hand and wiping her eyes from time to time.

"The affairs of the Grand Duchess around the Empress Dowager Maria. Feodorovna. Chloe leaned into Hirsman's ear and whispered. She arrived from Copenhagen accompanied by Prince Frederick of Denmark. ”

The Russian Empress Dowager was the mother of Nicholas II, a Danish princess who had planned to marry Alexander II's eldest son, Grand Duke Nicholas (crown prince). As a result, Grand Duke Nicholas fell from his horse and was seriously injured, and then he fell ill with tuberculosis and died (if he hadn't whimpered, he would have been called Nicholas II). Before his death, Grand Duke Nicholas entrusted his fiancée to his younger brother, Alexander III. Let the younger brother marry the Danish princess, and then create the hapless Nicholas II......

This hard-working woman lost two sons, a grandson and three granddaughters in the storm of the Russian Revolution. But luck is better than in history, at least she still has Olga, the granddaughter who is likely to become the empress.

Tsar Nicholas II's two younger sisters, Grand Duchess Xenia and Grand Duchess Olga, also brought their respective husbands, one of whom was a member of the Romanov family of Alexander III, and Alexander, who looked very much like Tsar Nicholas II. Grand Duke Mikhailovich.

In addition, several Romanov Grand Dukes and Grand Duchesses who had escaped by the Romanov Dynasty had arrived in Tallinn and were now surrounded by Olga in military uniform, who was clearly the co-head of the Romanov family.

"Does Olga qualify to be the Empress?" Hersman asked in a low voice.

"It was somewhat difficult to follow the Law of Succession to the Throne promulgated by Paul I in 1797." Chloe said. She was a noble-born countess who knew all the inheritance laws of various European countries.

"This Inheritance Act is a semi-Saxon law." Chloe explained. "Strictly speaking, the grandchildren and great-grandchildren of Nicholas I and Alexander II should be more qualified than Olga."

The Saxon law is that the woman has no right to inherit, and the semi-Saxon law is that in the case of the severance of the paternal line, the daughter can inherit. Now the descendants of Alexander III and Nicholas II are cut off - Nicholas II actually had a nephew, the son of Grand Duke Mikhail. However, he was born of "noble marriage" and has no inheritance rights.

Chloe added, "But Olga now has a principality, and the other Romanov Grand Dukes have nothing. ”

A group of royal descendants in exile are all masters who sit on empty feet, how can they compete with Olga who has soldiers and territory for the right to inherit the throne? Moreover, several White Russian generals immediately expressed their support for Olga - it is estimated that several of them were also afraid of any more succession wars.

"The Romanov family has all recognized it, and Britain and France should have nothing to say!" Hersman stood up, straightened his yellow-green colonel's uniform, and the expression on his face became extremely solemn. After a pause, he said, "It's time for us to get out of the car, I really don't know how to comfort her......"

……

"My Majesty, I didn't expect this to be the case, it's a pity......"

On the platform, Hersman kissed Olga's fingertip again, and he was the only one to kiss the Grand Duke.

"I still have to thank you, Ludwig, that if I hadn't left Russia, I would have been shot." Olga's face was very pale, and her lips trembled slightly as she spoke. "Now I'm alive, I've escaped two killings! This must be God's will...... God doesn't want the Russian Empire to perish, he wants me to take on this responsibility! ”

It seems like that's what happened! Hersmann thought about it, and the first time Olga was rescued was entirely because Chloe spoke about the tragic situation of the Tsar's family to the German queen and princess. Then the Kaiser, on a whim, asked him to go to Lenin and ask for someone. And this time, the reason why Olga did not die was because there was a plan in the "Courland Plan" that he had drawn up to make her the monarch of Polo.

And now, Olga is not only the monarch of the Baltics, but also the empress of Russia!

The Grand Duchess had already turned around and started walking outside the Tallinn railway station. Hersman hurriedly followed, and asked in a low voice as he walked, "Your Majesty, do you plan to inherit the throne?" ”

"Yes," replied the Grand Duchess. "This is the unanimous opinion of the family members...... It is also the common opinion of the generals. ”

Hersman nodded, the current tsar is not a good job, and he can't do it without territory and army. Olga is really the only person who is the right person!

"What about Great Britain, the United States, and France?" Hersman asked, "Did they support you?" ”

"Them?" Olga shook her head, "I didn't say anything, but what reason do they have against it?" ”

Will there be a reason to object? Hersman couldn't think of it. Now that the empress has not yet ascended the throne, several White Russian generals who do not buy each other can not wait to express their allegiance. This shows that the appeal of the Romanov dynasty to the White Guard generals was very strong, just as the Kaiser had the same appeal to the Junckers.

"Admiral Yudenich told me that there were 100,000 elite soldiers in Courland, and one could withstand at least three Red Armymen." The Grand Duchess suddenly stopped and looked at Hersman earnestly. "The admiral is sure that he will gather 100,000 White Guard soldiers before the arrival of next spring...... The Northern Russian government in Murmansk also had at least 100,000 men, plus Anglo-American-French troops stationed there. It is quite certain that the three sides will attack Petrograd together. If I succeed next spring, I will be crowned in Petrograd. Then you will be the general and prince of Russia. In addition, I will speak for Germany at the peace conference with Germany, and I will support the restoration of Wilhelm II! ”
