When Grand Duke Nicholas saw Yang Chao, Yang Chao had just received the news, and he was also a little restless at this time. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After the two exchanged information, Yang Chao calmed down in a panic.

"Kolchak has defected! This bastard, as expected, can't be trusted. ”

Grand Duke Nikolai gritted his teeth and repeated this sentence.

Yang Chao paced repeatedly: "Don't worry, the situation may not be as imagined." The worst thing is not that Kolchak mutinied, the worst thing is that Kolchak was the commander of the border guards guarding Yekaterinburg, and he returned to the city of Iraq with his troops, so wouldn't Yekaterinburg be defenseless. ”

After Yang Chao finished speaking, Grand Duke Nikolai realized that the situation was indeed not what he imagined, and the situation was much more serious than he imagined.

Kolchak had a strong prestige in the army, because he once brought the Russian navy to the Far East completely, and then by mistake, he was ostracized by the army and failed to follow the tsar back to Europe, but he kept 100,000 naval soldiers, which made him a well-deserved military giant when the Russian Empire was rebuilt.

However, after Grand Duke Nikolai came to power, he could not trust Kolchak, who was not from the core aristocratic circle, so Kolchak only served as the supreme commander for a short time, and was soon demoted to the commander of the border guards, far from the center of power in Irkutsk, and confronted the Soviet Russian army on the border.

Kolchak's ancestors were Turks, hence the Turkish surname Kolchak, who was captured by Russia in the Russo-Turkish War, and then joined Russia, claiming to be a Cossack from the Don Valley and fighting for the Tsar. Kolchak's family really made their fortune when Kolchak's father fought in the Crimean War, was captured by the French, became a naval artillery engineer after his release, and finally retired with the rank of major general.

Therefore, Kolchak is just the son of an ordinary rear admiral, not to mention the core Russian nobles, not even ordinary boyar nobles. At best, a Cossack who stood out was difficult to gain the approval of the Russian aristocracy without the efforts of several generations.

So it was impossible for him to gain the trust of such a true nobleman as Grand Duke Nicholas.

After sending Kolchak to the border, Grand Duke Nikolai set about reorganizing the Russian armed forces. An army of 300,000 was formed successively, and no new commander-in-chief was appointed, but Grand Duke Nikolai recognized himself as commander-in-chief, divided into three army groups, each with 100,000 men. Kolchak was just a commander of an army group.

Kolchak has always been far away from the center of power in Iraq, conscientiously guarding against a possible invasion of Soviet Russia, and no one expected him to defect.

"It's useless for you to be in a hurry. I have asked Wang Changping to send troops back to Yishi, try not to clash with the Kolchak army, but must rescue His Majesty Olga. You can rest assured of this, I believe in the defense of the Baikal Palace, and I also believe in Wang Changping's contingencies, he will definitely be able to bring His Majesty out safe and sound. ”

Wang Changping was the commander-in-chief of the Tyumen garrison, with three group armies under his command and a total strength of 300,000 troops. Many members of the National Assembly believe that placing such a large number of troops in Siberia is a complete waste of military spending, and some people have long proposed to reduce the size of the garrison, but for various reasons, it has never been approved.

Wang Changping guarded the town, did his job very well, and did not clash with the locals, but the consumption of the army, which made the local farms and pastures quite profitable, and the Siberian girls who lacked men also welcomed these strong soldiers from China. Therefore, the Siberian garrison is an enviable position among Chinese soldiers.

As the commander-in-chief of the garrison, Wang Changping has one-third of China's million-strong military force, so his ability is naturally not to say. Otherwise, it would be impossible to climb to this high position, Yang Chao believes that he knows the seriousness of the situation, and also knows that he has the ability and military strength to intervene in this level of incident.

But deep down I was still nervous, because there was really no reason to talk about such a thing as a mutiny. Who knows if a mentally stressed soldier will rashly shoot and fire at the palace.

"Hey, your ability to govern!"

Yang Chao, who rarely criticized Grand Duke Nicholas, finally couldn't help but complain about his governance.

Grand Duke Nicholas was quite ashamed, he was not unaware that his ruling was problematic, but the previous great prosperity covered up all the contradictions, and as a result, it suddenly exploded, and this huge energy was able to directly destroy their fragile regime.

"You didn't go further at the best time, just like you didn't fatten the fat of the war horse in the autumn, and in the winter, you can only watch your beloved war horse freeze to death."

At a time of financial affluence, Nikolai did not set about solving the problem of social injustice, but blindly suppressed the rebellion, blindly took coercive measures against the reasonable and unreasonable demands of the workers, and took a contemptuous attitude towards the aspirations of the middle class to elevate their status, forcing almost all strata except the aristocracy to his opposite.

"What do you tell me to do? His Majesty Nicholas II was kind enough to the merchants and factory owners, but in the end it was they who imprisoned His Majesty Nicholas II. His Majesty even adopted a policy of softness towards Vladimir's people, but what was the result, it was these people who personally ordered His Majesty's family to be shot. Am I wrong? You tell me, what would you do if it were you? ”

Grand Duke Nikolai's emotions are a little out of control, he has been under too much pressure during this time, he came to China for help in a strong and humiliated manner, he has seen how many Chinese's arrogant faces and ridiculed attitudes, he is fed up, it is not he who violently hurts Chinese merchants, it is not he who smashes Chinese shops, why should he bear this humiliation.

Yang Chao looked at him and didn't know how to explain it, and told him to adopt a gentle attitude, to be gentle when it was time to be gentle, and to use both rigidity and softness in the way of governing the country? In addition to boasting about their own management level, boasting about the wisdom of the traditional Chinese philosophy of notification, what role can it play.

The Russians are a rough people, and the culture is mixed with too many genes from the era of Mongolian Genghis Khan, and it is too difficult for them to adopt the Chinese way of benevolence and kingship. They have tried to adopt the representative system of the West, but they lack patience for peace negotiations among the various strata, and as a result, they are not ready to meet the people.

So Yang Chao didn't speak, but lit a cigar for him.

"What are you going to do in the future? After taking over His Majesty Olica, he established a government-in-exile in China? Or go back to Russia? ”

After taking a few puffs of his cigar, Grand Duke Nicholas also calmed down, after all, he is an old man who has been up and down in politics for half his life, and his psychology is not so fragile.

He quickly showed the perseverance of the Russians and said: "Your Majesty must stay safely in China, I must go back to Russia to fight, and Your Majesty's safety will be entrusted to you." ”

Nikolai said in a heavy voice, not showing any words of gratitude, but speaking in a calm tone, as if he were saying something that should have been the way it should be.

As the husband of the Tsaress of Olica, Yang Chao was supposed to take care of her, and as a Russian Grand Duke, Nikolai was supposed to fight. (To be continued.) )
