The smoke on the cigar of Archduke Nicholas kept going out, and puffs of smoke were inhaled into his lungs, and his mind was rapidly analyzing the pros and cons, which was a difficult decision, which was tantamount to making him give up the throne, but it was not unacceptable, the question was whether the benefits were sufficient. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Britain and France supported him to compete for the tsar's throne, that is, they did not want the Chinese to annex here, or control here, Britain and France also hoped to continue to have influence on Russia through the tsar, although now Soviet Russia occupies the main part of Russia, but Britain and France have other backers, they do not want such a regime to control Russia, the most direct reason is that this regime does not recognize the debts borrowed by the tsarist government, as for worrying about the export of revolution by this regime, it is too far away, and it is not considered yet.

Nicholas gave up the throne, and Olga became the female tsar, naturally there was no surprise, but in this way, it is not in line with the interests of Britain and France, they will definitely not support the tsarist family, this is not what Nikolai is most concerned about, he is most concerned about Russia, to be precise, it is not realistic to talk about the interests of the country now, it is also unrealistic to pull back to Europe, and the most realistic thing is to keep the power of the tsarist family.

And I'm afraid this can't be guaranteed, Olga has become the Tsar, which means that the Tsar family has changed again, and it will become the Yang family in the future.

If even this cannot be guaranteed, why should he cooperate with the Chinese, let the Chinese directly annex Western Siberia, so that the tsarist family will withdraw from the stage of history, and it will appear to be more backbone.

Unless: "Can you renounce your inheritance with the Archduchess of Origa?" Can you guarantee that the next Tsar will remain a member of the Romanov family? ”

Archduke Nicholas's request surprised Yang Chao a little, but it was also reasonable, because keeping the power of the Tsar family was the only thing they could hold in their hands.

The fireworks on Yang Chao's cigars also began to be extinguished, which is also a difficult choice, if he and Olga's children can inherit the authority of the tsar in the future, this place in Western Siberia is equivalent to the Chinese, but now even this point can not be done, does he have to consider directly annexing here, although there will be disputes, there will be contradictions with the Russian nation that can never be bridged, but in the face of interests, contradictions and conflicts are a fart.

The brain is racing.

Soon: "I agree!" ”

Yang Chao made up his mind that it was important to leave a reservation between him and Soviet Russia.

"The heir of the Archduchess Olga will renounce the right to inherit the Tsar's throne! Western Siberia will be a reservation for the tsarist family and all the Russian nobility, and China will not annex here. ”

"And you yourself will be the prime minister of the Russian Empire, and you will be responsible for forming a new government, and even introducing a new constitution, whether you want a constitutional monarchy, or a tsar's poisonous vegetables, I believe that Olga has no opinion."

After Yang Chao finished speaking, he stood up, stretched out his hand, and shook it with Grand Duke Nicholas.

Nikolai was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Yang Chao to agree, and what he didn't expect was that Yang Chao was willing to hand over power to him.

After convincing Nikolai, there were no obstacles, and no matter how hard the British and French tried to send the Russian aristocracy in exile here, they could not get enough votes.

Because Nikolai himself took care of it, he constantly met with various influential noble families, expressed his opinions in private, and told them what to do.

And Britain and France are not very clear about what happened at this time, the Tsar's throne is just a card in their eyes, and it is a card that is not very important, the most important thing for Britain and France is to deal with European issues, the Paris Peace Conference has been held for more than half a year, and it is difficult to reach an agreement on the entanglement of interests of all parties for a while, where is the battlefield that concerns the interests of all countries, and the question of deciding who can share the biggest cake of World War I, not distant Western Siberia, not the heir of a declining empire.

On the contrary, there is a lot of concern in China, not only because ******** and the tsarist regime has a greater impact on China's interests, but also because it is Yang Chao's daughter-in-law who is vying for the tsarist throne.

Yang Chao's prestige in China is still unrivaled, and to this day there are still a group of old masters arguing all day long that Congress should invite Yang Chao back to be the emperor, and now among the Eastern countries, Korea has a king, Japan has an emperor, but China is a nondescript president, what kind of system.

In everyone's opinion, a president standing up is not as face-saving as the emperor, everyone is royal, royal, as soon as the Chinese go out, the president, shame!

And in the eyes of many old-school figures, the current China can almost be called a prosperous era, the national strength is extremely strong, but there is no emperor, what kind of prosperous era is this.

And now they suddenly found out that the daughter-in-law of the emperor's choice may be a female tsar, this is an interesting thing, you can't care if you don't care, the entertainment of this not only makes politicians care, but the general public can also talk about it after dinner, then the newspaper can't let it go, many big newspapers have sent reporters to West Siberia to follow up and report, and all kinds of news continue to spread back to China.

With the passage of time, the number of Russian nobles gathered in Western Siberia has exceeded 50,000, and the total number of Russian exiled nobles is only 70,000 or 80,000, so it can be said that the vast majority of them are here. The details of the election were finally determined, Britain and France insisted that only male adult men have the right to vote, while Yang Chao insisted that adult female aristocrats also have the right to vote, Britain and France thought that women were more likely to vote for the Archduke of Origa, so they kept arguing until they found out that the candidates they put forward were all on the side of Origa, and found that the vote was meaningless at all, so they relented.

Nikolai's abandonment of competition could not be concealed from Britain and France, because if Nikolai wanted to move, there would always be nobles who were of the same mind as Britain and France, and would report back the situation.

Britain and France did not insist, because they found that Yang Chao's promise that Nikolai would become prime minister meant that the future power would be in the hands of the Russian aristocracy, rather than being directly monopolized by the Chinese, which they were willing to accept.

In fact, if Yang Chao had negotiated directly with Britain and France at the beginning and handed over the prime minister position to Nicholas, Britain and France would have supported Origa to become the female tsar.

Of course not, it is very different, if you talk directly with Britain and France, then it means that Britain and France have direct influence on the tsarist regime, and now it is Yang Chao and Nikolai who decide, which means that it is China and the tsarist aristocracy who decide the fate of the tsarist regime, which is fundamentally different.

Without the help of Britain and France, will Nikolai still accept the manipulation of Britain and France in the future?

Of course, it is impossible for him to accept Yang Chao's manipulation, he will definitely try to control his own destiny, even Zhang Zuolin is not willing to be a puppet of the Japanese honestly, let alone an old nobleman like Grand Duke Nicholas.

How long does Nikolai live?

How much did the Russian aristocracy get?

Western Siberia was bigger, and the Russian nobility, which was less than 100,000 men, was divided.

What Yang Chao wants is just a buffer that can safeguard China's interests, I believe this Nikolai is also very clear, he is a smart man, he will never touch China's core interests, China's core interests in Western Siberia, not enough is some minerals, the most important thing is the oil field of Tyumen, Nikolai will definitely not be stupid to compete with China in this oil field, at least not before World War II, whether he can live until World War II is still a matter of words.

Therefore, the current rule of an uncontrolled Russian aristocracy does not harm China's core interests, and what they reject is only European interference.

In June of the 4th year of the (Chinese) Republic, 7427 Russian calendar, the Tsar's body had just been buried in a chapel in Irkutsk, and the vote to decide the fate of the Tsar's family began. (In order to prevent harmony, the year of the Western Era will be reduced from now on, and the first year of the Republic will be 1916, so everyone will calculate it yourself)

A total of 60,000 male and female Russian aristocrats participated in the voting, they came to Western Siberia from all over the place, some of them were still aristocratic, and some were quite shabby, such as hundreds of aristocratic girls who worked as clothing models in Paris, and aristocratic women who worked as tailors, and fewer men went out to work, and of course the number of men was less, because the aristocratic men escaped less than women, and Vladimir was basically killed if he caught the men, and he might let the women go if he caught them.

So out of those 60,000 people, 40,000 are women.

During this time, Yang Chao communicated with these nobles a lot, and entertained at least a hundred influential aristocratic families, many of which can be traced back to the time of Peter the Great, and even the old nobles who can be traced back to the time of Ivan the Terrible.

These people have a great influence in the entire Russian aristocracy, and if they make sense, it is equivalent to explaining the entire Russian aristocracy, Yang Chao did not put all his eggs in the basket of Grand Duke Nicholas, in case he went crazy and wanted to fight for the position of tsar.

Therefore, under the banner of the two fists, on the one hand, he reached an agreement with the Grand Duke Nicholas, and on the other hand, he continued to win over these down-and-out nobles.

Yang Chao promised them that Olga would continue to defend their interests and would provide them with financial support to help them establish estates in Western Siberia and maintain the dignity of the nobility. It even said that qualified government officials would be recruited from among them, the aristocracy, who were still the ruling class of Russia, as in the past.

To be able to own an industry and live a decent life, these guys who have lost all their property and are already very extravagant, but they didn't expect to be able to return to the old era of holding power, which is like a dream, where would they not agree.

So Olga became the new tsar with a high vote of 50,000, and 10,000 votes went to Grand Duke Nicholas, which was reserved for him just for the sake of good looks.

Oliga became the female tsar, and Yang Chao finally became the tsar's husband, which made the Chinese feel a little strange. (To be continued.) )
