Chapter 25: Journey to the East (1)
As soon as Nicholas II went to bed in the Winter Palace, Kasipovich, the secretary of the chamberlain on duty today, told him very bad news, and Nicholas II was instantly furious and hurriedly summoned Witte into the palace. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "Tell me, what the hell is going on?" What about your thorough investigation? What does your report say? Nicholas II said furiously.
Witte looked at the angry Nicholas II with a burst of refreshment, but he also knew that if he was not satisfied with the answer today, then there would definitely be no good fruit to eat, so Witte said slowly: "Your Majesty, since the assassination of His Excellency Goremykin, the Royal Intelligence Service has launched a detailed investigation, and we have also controlled some people, but Your Majesty said that if we will monitor again, we will only monitor the main messenger behind it, and no further action has been taken. ”
"Then you say so, this matter is all mine, right?" Nicholas II asked.
Witte replied in fear: "The minister did not dare, and the minister immediately ordered the arrest of those suspected elements and gave His Majesty a satisfactory explanation." ”
Nicholas II looked at Witte and said in an unkind tone: "After this matter is dealt with, you will go to various places to inspect it, and I want to let the intelligence bureau do something, not be a decoration there!" ”
"Command!" Witte replied, and then, at the behest of Nicholas II, Witte withdrew from the palace. In the evening of the same day, when Witte returned to the Imperial Intelligence Service, he arranged for a team to arrest Pyotr Dmitrievich Svyatopolk-Mirsky and his company, and tortured all these people in the underground prison of the headquarters of the Intelligence Bureau at No. 2 Khovaya Street for interrogation.
At the time of the bloody storm in Petersburg, Werther was not in Petersburg, but left the center of the storm to inspect the west, and our first stop was Moscow. Although Werther left, but the daily situation was transmitted to his hands through the wireless telegraph of the Royal Intelligence Bureau, watching the living lives die through his own signature, Werther also felt a little unbearable, but as the gravedigger of Tsarist Russia, he can only do this, in order to make the whole society from top to bottom against the Tsar's notice, once the time comes, it is the day of the fall of the Tsarist regime, but before this day comes, I don't know how many people will die because of this.
Inside the Moscow Royal Intelligence Bureau, Witte looked at the head of the bureau, Sergei. Karjanvich. Petromov, with an angry look on his face, only heard Witte say: "Director Petromov, you tell me, where did all the office funds of the Moscow branch go?" 2 million rubles disappeared from the account like this, do you think I, the director, am a fool? ”
It turned out that when Witte arrived in Moscow, he first audited the finances of the sub-bureau, and the tax officer who followed him quickly found a problem in the accounts, about 2 million rubles were missing, in addition to the internal prison of the Moscow sub-bureau There were many small citizens and small capitalists imprisoned, these people either did not have a backstage, or the backstage did not dare to touch the intelligence bureau at all, and these people were imprisoned here not because they were involved in any political party or organization, but simply because the families of these people could use money to redeem their lives, And where the money ends up is unknown.
Petromov looked at the thin-looking young man in front of him in horror, and stammered: "Director, Your Excellency, these... These funds are used in the preparation of the substation......"
Before Petromov could finish speaking, Witt interrupted with a sneer: "Director Petromoff, it seems that you are really using me as a three-year-old child!" In that case, let the torture experts of the General Administration let you speak! Witt shouted, "Romanlov, please go to your squad for a cup of coffee, I think he will know what to say when he gets there!" ”
When Petrov heard this, he immediately became anxious, knelt on the ground and shouted: "Director, Director, I say, I say ......"
"Forget it, Director Petromov, let Captain Romanov listen to your explanation!" Witt interrupted Petrov's words mercilessly, and Romanoff, who had already entered, instructed his men to forcibly drag Petrov out who was already paralyzed on the ground.
Romanov saw that Petrov had been dragged out, so he asked, "What are we going to do next, Director?" ”
Witte rubbed his eyes and said: "After Petromov confessed, according to the confession, all those suspected of corruption will be arrested, and in addition to this, I will give a satisfactory explanation to our majesty for the continued arrest of constitutionalists, populists, and liberals." ”
Romanloff looked at the people around him and asked in a low voice: "Shall we make contact with the local Marxists?" ”
"In this regard, you arranged for our people to contact us privately, it is inconvenient for me to come forward now, after all, we don't know the identities of their members, and we can't easily reveal their identities." Witte said slowly, "I came out this time, on the surface to supervise the construction of intelligence sub-bureaus in various places, in fact, the main task is to meet with Comrade Ulyanov, after the operation in Moscow is launched, you stay here to continue to supervise, I will go to Siberia with Arkhipov, it depends on you here, you have to pay attention to safety, the comrades in Moscow do not know our true identity." ”
Romanloff nodded and left the office, while Witte walked to the window and looked at the towering Kremlin not far away. Moscow had just been rebuilt from the fire of 1812, and although it had been restored to its former glory after more than 80 years of construction, traces of the war can still be seen in some parts of the city.
The place where Witte is located is located on the east side of the famous Red Square, which in later life was the site of the Moscow department store, but now it is the most terrifying place for Muscovites, the Moscow branch of the Royal Intelligence Service. Many people later believed that it was called "Red Square" because it was once the central square of the capital of the Red Soviets, but in fact, the Russians have called it "Red Square" since the middle of the 17th century. With a total length of 700 meters, a width of 130 meters, and a total area of more than 90,000 square meters, Red Square has been the commercial center of Moscow since the 17th century, and the important edicts of the Tsar were read here when it was the capital of Russia, and major military parades were held here at the same time. The famous Kremlin is located on the southwest side of Red Square, and the Orthodox Vasily Bularen Church is located in the south, which can be said to have witnessed the rise of the whole of Russia and of course the destruction of the Red Soviet Empire.
Through the window, Witte looked at the west side of the square, near the Kremlin palace wall, where Lenin's tomb was later located, and next to Lenin's tomb were the tombstones of Dzerzhinsky, Stalin, Brezhnev, Andropov, Chernenko, and 12 others. Witte looked at it and couldn't help but think: if the revolution is victorious, can he also have a cemetery here, so as to enjoy the people's memorials, but when he thinks of Stalin, Witte feels that it seems that he has to find an opportunity to get rid of Stalin, who is still a child, otherwise this guy will probably completely overthrow the party founded by Lenin as soon as he comes to power.
Just as Werther was thinking, Romanov came up and said, "Director, Petro has confessed. ”
"Huh? So fast? Werther said in surprise, "I thought this guy could last a while, but I didn't expect this guy to be a coward, what did he say?" ”
Romanov replied: "According to Petrov's confession, this time the suspected embezzlement of funds has been jointly extorted from citizens and capitalists, including Moscow Mayor Petronovich and Moscow Police Chief Andbolevich......" As Romanov reported a personal name one by one, Witt's face became more and more ugly, and finally interrupted: "Romanov, you immediately organize personnel to arrest these people, I don't dare how much power they have in Petersburg and Moscow, since they fall into my hands, they are a dead end." ”
"Yes, Director!" After receiving the order, Romanlov said, "It's just that there are some people here who have a very complicated relationship with the Empress and Her Majesty, and we should take action against these people in the same way?" ”
When Witte heard this, he said coldly: "Romanlov, these people are moths who oppress the people anyway, why should we hesitate?" All the property of these people was confiscated, all the main culprits involved were shot, and all their families were sent to Siberia and the Far East. As for the consequences, Your Majesty, I will explain them. ”
When Romanov received this order, he no longer hesitated, and left the office to start arresting those who had been confessed by Petromov according to Werther's instructions, while Werther in the office continued to look at the sky in Moscow in a daze.
