Chapter 355: The Demise of the Soviets
In the face of the sudden coup d'état, General Makarenko was very receptive, very honestly obeyed the seizure, ate very regularly without making noise, and did not threaten with any hunger strike.
The generals in Kyiv already knew the conditions given by Admiral Gnuss, and such conditions naturally did not reach their satisfaction, but what if they were not satisfied now? Once people announce the conditions of surrender in the army, they can't refuse even if they want to, after all, the soldiers don't care about the rich and noble status of the officers.
Propaganda in the military naturally has disadvantages, that is, things will be in trouble, and Kyiv will inevitably go through a catastrophe before it can reach the hands of the Eastern European Alliance, which Admiral Gnus does not want to see, so he gave the Kyiv generals time to think about it, so that they can think about it.
It is really difficult for people to accept the matter of hard labor, especially those who do not have much skill themselves, they are very worried about their life after the completion of labor, after all, many times surrender can also get a relatively good treatment, even far beyond his original status.
Of course, now they don't even think about these things, the time given by Admiral Gnus is approaching little by little, and there has begun to be a commotion in the army, just because with the time the surrender treatment given by the Eastern European Alliance has begun to spread in the army, but it has not yet reached the point where it cannot be controlled.
This was already the sixty-eighth meeting in these two days, and the content of the meeting was almost the same, that is, to surrender or not to surrender, at this time a colonel finally couldn't help himself, and directly stood up and said to the temporary commander of the admiral: "We don't have time, Comrade Brezhnev. ”
First Makarenko and now finally it was his turn, and he knew very well if he didn't open his mouth again. Then Makarenko's treatment is his own treatment. Even...... Because of the problem of influence in the military. His treatment will not be as good as Makarenko, after all, Makarenko is the person who the Eastern European Alliance Admiral Gnars will meet in person.
Can't help but pat his forehead, at this time Brezhnev has other ways to retreat? He could only nod helplessly and compromise, and with his nod, several senior generals couldn't help but feel a little depressed, while some young generals breathed a sigh of relief, and it was naturally best not to do anything.
Receiving a satisfactory answer, the representative of the young generals, a major general who was no more than 30 years old, respectfully saluted Brezhnev, who had made the decision. Then he straightened out his straight military uniform, strode outside, and looked at his back, no one knew whether it was heaven or hell ahead.
In mid-February 1939, Kiev, which had been in a stalemate for three weeks, finally chose to surrender, and hundreds of thousands of troops lined up in long lines to hand in their weapons to be reviewed and interrogated by the Eastern European Union Army.
The blood of the Eastern European Union Army cannot be shed in vain, and the only solution for these Soviet combat heroes who have accumulated meritorious service with their blood is to shoot them. Cruel? But for the souls of the Eastern European Coalition who died under their guns. It's not cruel, it's all because you're on the wrong side.
The soldiers and officers who were not executed were also detained one by one. They were about to be transported by train to wherever they needed to work, and the work of the POWs was not too tiring but not easy, after all, they needed to atone for their actions.
The day after the surrender of Kyiv, General Geners met with General Makarenko, and no one knows exactly what the two talked about, but one thing that surprised most people was that General Makarenko chose to surrender and accept the rank of Major General of the Eastern European Union while also becoming a staff officer of the Army General Staff.
No one knew what kind of method Admiral Gnus used to persuade this stubborn veteran, even Ernst was full of doubts, but Admiral Gnuss's mouth was very tight, and Ernst could only choose to give up after asking many times to no avail.
It was hard to imagine that Moscow would be taken sooner than expected, because while the Eastern European Union Army was still on the way, Moscow had already completed a coup d'état, and the second leader, who had terrified the senior officials of the Soviet government, had been imprisoned.
The second leader was imprisoned, and most of the rest were officials who advocated surrender, and there is no doubt that the flag of Moscow had been replaced by the flag of the Russian Empire that day, but they probably had not paid attention to the Russian Empire for some time, and they did not know that the Russian Empire had been replaced with a new flag, even if it was not much different from the previous one.
The sudden demise of the Soviets surprised the countries of the whole world, and the heads of state began to discuss the matter with each other, and at the same time had a new opinion on the military strength of the Eastern European Union, but the Soviet perished so quickly that the countries did not even fully understand the military strength of the Eastern European Union.
The entire Russian Empire also had an army of nearly 2 million, and the population was more than 60 million.
It would have been better not to take the Soviets, but now that the Soviets have been taken suddenly, there are suddenly some different opinions within the Eastern European Union, and the opinions are fundamentally revolving around the Russian Empire.
It stands to reason that the Russian Empire should be merged with the Soviets at this moment, but in this way the Russian Empire will become the most powerful state in the Eastern European Union, especially in terms of population, which will give the Standing Council a bias, especially the very important point, that is, the emperor of the Russian Empire is not Ernst but Maria.
There is nothing wrong with the saying that husband and wife are one, and it is also true that Ernst has a huge influence in the Russian Empire and can even be said to have direct control over the Russian Empire, but there is one thing, the emperor of the Russian Empire is not Ernst, which is a crucial thing.
During this period, Nicholas II's family was significantly more vigilant, and the security personnel on these guards were not loyal servants of the Nicholas II family for generations, but guards of the Czech Royal Guard, and the meaning of this was very obvious.
Now Ernst is also very entangled in how to do it, on the one hand, the family, on the other hand, the wife, any decision may affect one of them. Ernst was really hesitant and didn't know what to do.
The advice given by the Standing Council is: Let Siberia secede from the Russian Empire and become a Siberian resource zone directly under the Eastern European Union. It's worth saying. Not to mention that the other directors and the Prime Minister of the Russian Empire actually voted in favor, in fact, it is normal to think about it, and in the face of loyalty to the Habsburgs, the interests of any country can be ignored.
Maria was naturally aware of the controversy in the Standing Council, but he did not speak and remained silent, but the more she did so, the more difficult it was for Ernst to make a decision.
In recent years, several sisters of the Nikolai family, who had been honest, once again stood up, and they began to summon those old nobles of the Russian Empire in the name of their younger brothers, with only one purpose. That is to be prepared to persuade Ernst to abandon this proposal, and Siberia will always be the territory of the Russian Empire.
Their purpose in doing this is actually very simple, as long as the power of the Russian Empire increases within the Eastern European Union, then they will also have the opportunity to obtain a higher status, or is it that sentence, who made the current emperor of the Russian Empire not Ernst but Maria?
As long as the influence of the Russian Empire in the Eastern European Union gradually increases, then sooner or later the power of the Russian Empire may surpass the power of the Czech Duchy and truly become the first in the Eastern European Union, and their Nikolai family may have the opportunity to surpass the Habsburgs and take the entire Eastern European Union instead.
It's not just a matter of thinking. It is true that Charles is the crown prince of the Russian Empire, but the sisters and their children are princes of this country. Find a way to cut off Charlie's heirs. Then the throne of the Russian Empire should naturally be held by a member of their family's line, not a member of the Habsburgs.
That's a good idea, but will Ernst let them succeed? The answer, of course, is no, in fact Ernst has already discovered the great crisis of the Eastern European Alliance, and he is waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to unify the Eastern European Alliance.
Rather than resolving the matter, several officials from the traditional aristocracy of the Russian Empire firmly rejected the decision of the Standing Council of the Eastern European Union, and even expressed their desire to meet Maria and report the matter to her.
Such a threat is of no use in the slightest, and even Mary did not expect them to do so, which is not a good thing for Mary, who is in the center of the storm, and if she has anything to do with it, it will be a disaster for Mary.
Maria itself did not have a solid foundation in the Eastern European Union, and now the traditional Russian nobility is typical of pouring dirty water on Maria, and it is strange that Maria is willing to accept it.
In fact, no one knows that behind these officials are the figures of Mary's sisters, but who can speak without evidence? The main thing is that Ernst has not yet made a clear statement on this matter, what are they talking about?
Dealing with a few officials from the nobility of the Russian Empire is a trivial matter, what really makes it difficult for them is how to deal with the sisters behind these officials, if they sit idly by, then I believe that the same thing will appear after a while, after all, there are not a few officials from the nobility of the Russian Empire.
Isn't it the case that the officials have a headache for Ernst? Ernst didn't know what to do after going back and forth in the study several times, and the other party's ambition was obvious, but after all, it was just speculation, and there was no real action, even those officials from the Russian Empire who were born in the nobility, they just didn't want Siberia to break away from the Russian Empire, and they didn't say anything else.
In the end, the bedridden Archduke Ferdinand made a good suggestion that Siberia would remain within the Russian Empire, but that the Siberian resource region would be held by Crown Prince Charles, and that any future governor of the Siberian resource region would need to be approved by the Eastern European Union.
The sisters were naturally not satisfied with such a result, but what else could they do? Ernst had already arranged for someone to warn them, and if something was going to happen, who could guarantee that Ernst wouldn't kill the killer?
Charlie was glad that he was the biggest beneficiary of this time, and it was also the highest position he had ever received, the Governor of the Siberian Resource Region of the Russian Empire, a real decision-maker, and even directly became a member of the Council of the Eastern European Union.
Because the quarrel of the rise of the Russian Empire finally had an imperfect result, and at the same time a large number of Soviet prisoners of war were transported to various parts of the Eastern European Union, where they would be rented out at extremely low prices to various enterprises, companies in which they would have to live for the next five years.
There is a good saying that it is easy to fight and defend the country, and it is easy to take the Soviets, but it is very difficult to build a new Russian empire. The capital of the Russian Empire has been relocated to St. Petersburg, and Moscow will be the second capital in the center of the Russian Empire.
Since the Soviet Union was changed into the Russian Empire, it was natural that the relevant railways and education should be replaced, and if nothing else, the railways should at least be connected to the countries of Eastern Europe, and not deliberately blocked as before, so as to hinder the transport of land forces by the Eastern European Union.
In the case of railways alone, the Russian Empire left at least 600,000 prisoners of war, and the construction of the railways was being supervised, and the newly formed cabinet was busy with it.
The newly formed cabinet naturally refers not to the replacement of the prime minister of the Russian Empire, but to the entire replacement of the cabinet, because of the complete relocation to Europe, the relevant cabinet members almost all need to be replaced.
Charlie's interception was partly the reason, and the fact that some cabinet members simply could not leave Siberia was also a very important factor. Unlike other countries, due to the special circumstances of Siberia, most of the members of the former cabinet of ministers of the Russian Empire also served as local administrators.
Now that the Russian Empire has been relocated to Europe en masse, and Siberia is also semi-seceded from the Russian Empire, it is natural that the cabinet needs to be reorganized, and most of the officials in the newly formed cabinet are from the former Russian nobility.
Such a proposal was naturally opened by Ernst, and the specific reason is estimated only to be clear to Maria, which should be regarded as some compensation for Maria over the years! At the same time, if Charles wants to be emperor of the Russian Empire in the future, the influence of these traditional nobles should not be underestimated.
For the future of Charles and the Eastern European Alliance, Ernst can really be regarded as painstaking, but the final result of Ernst's painstaking efforts is estimated that even Ernst can't see through, after all, history has changed. (To be continued.) )
