In the course of the two parliamentarians' lobbying for the Tsar's abdication, hundreds of people, all of them, gathered on the platform between the Tsar and the parliamentarians, reading leaflets and shouting "Ula", and an officer of the guard ordered the group to disperse, but was stopped by the attendant military attaché.

"His Majesty the Tsar orders not to provoke and drive away anyone!"

Towards 11 o'clock in the evening, the shouts of the people on the platform were louder, and they were getting closer and closer to the train, and in another carriage, with the shouts of the people, the Tsar's abdication edict was being drafted, and Guchkov took advantage of the intermittent shouting to the back of the living room carriage and announced loudly to the emotional people.

"Gentlemen, please be quiet! Father of Nations......

He paused deliberately, then continued.

"The Tsar fully agreed to our requests, and even more than we expected!"

On the platform, there was silence at first, followed by cheers.

"Ulla...... Ula ......"

Cheers echoed in the train station, and it seemed that at this moment, a new era had begun, and the road to a bright future for Russia was unfolded.

At eleven fifteen, Nikolai returned to the carriage, he was no more agitated than when he went out, he still looked calm, he looked at the people in the carriage, handed over two printed papers, and then said calmly.

"This is an edict, please take a look!"

When the Tsar entered, several men stood up, and by this time they were all standing solemnly, Shulygin stood beside Guchkov, leaning over the desk, and the two of them quickly read the edict and whispered.

"During the great war with foreign enemies...... The beginning of the popular unrest will affect the fact that Russia is engaged in this stubborn war that is at stake in the fate of the country...... At this critical juncture, we see solidarity as a conscience and an obligation to alleviate the suffering of our people...... I agreed with the State Duma that it would be beneficial for me to step down from the throne of the Russian Empire...... I hope not to be separated from my beloved son...... Will pass the throne to my younger brother...... Calling on all the loyal sons of the Motherland...... leading the country to victory, glory and a happy life......"

Germany desperately wants to enslave Russia! For the sake of Russia's victory and future, the tsar was more than willing to leave the throne.

Rusky saw that this was far from the edict brought from the base camp, could it be that the tsar really rewrote the abdication edict so quickly and so smoothly?

Guchkov had no objection to the edict, and Shulykin followed more precisely the spirit of the Constitution, which had sent them, proposing to specify that Grand Duke Mikhail must swear allegiance to the legislature.

His suggestion made Nikolai frown, but he didn't have any objections, so he added it.

"At the same time, an oath must be taken, and the oath must not be broken!"

In response to this sentence of Tsar Ga, Shuligin pouted: Is there any other unbreakable oath that does not say "to the whole people"? But he didn't argue. Finally, he proposed.

"It's better to mark it after the morning... This time! ”

Because they were not present at this time, but the Tsar had already decided to abdicate, so that people would not accuse the Tsar of abdicating by the parliamentarians in the future.

For Guchkov, on the contrary, his role was diminished precisely by such a mark, but he also did not say anything, so in the afternoon ... It was marked.

In the end, Nikolai officially signed the abdication edict, using a very ordinary pencil. When the Tsar signed the edict of abdication, Guchkov thought to himself, shouldn't he risk the original of the edict in such a chaotic time, and print another copy and leave him with Rusky. …,

So they had them take it and print it.

At this point, the three of them, the former tsar and the two representatives of the new government, will face each other in silence for 20 minutes.

However, you can't throw everything away as something alien, the procedure can't be destroyed, and the throne - give it to the younger brother, which is good, but who will the cabinet hand it to? And to whom will the Supreme High Command be handed over?

The two parliamentarians agreed: it is not bad to issue instructions, the succession of power should be strengthened, and the time indicated should be one hour earlier in order for the abdication edict to take effect.

To whom is the cabinet going to be?

Nikolai did not want to give it to Rodenko, who had betrayed him, and it was better to flash it to Krivoshein. After he made this suggestion, the two parliamentarians suggested.

"Give it to the Duke of Lviv!"

"Okay!"

Nikolai did not object.

"What about the High Command?"

"Of course it's Nikolaisha, who else can it be handed over?"

So the order to the Privy Council was written, and all this only strengthened the confidence of the two men, and the document was sent for printing, and silence began again.

Later, later...... The most difficult thing is to talk about yourself, without the throne, this is an unprecedented situation, where should I go?

Nikolai, who had become a civilian, had not yet found his right tone to speak. Now, there is still the question of who obeys whom? It's not good to do it yourself, but you can ask others if it's a little low-voiced...... So he shrugged and said.

"If I go to Huangcun now, I won't encounter any obstacles!"

Guchkov looked up, his forehead was like an obstacle, and he had expected it to be possible in the daytime, but ...... He seemed to see the majestic and ferocious figure of his greatest female enemy behind the Tsar.

Does it fulfill his wishes? No, then he will write an edict and go back.

Guchkov didn't say anything about it, but he could see that his whole body was tense, and his face was red, but he didn't say anything, so he was silent for a while. Then he said.

"There is unrest in the city of Luga, and there is no guarantee of safe passage there!"

His answer only caused Nikolai to stumble violently, as if he had been hit hard, and he went limp.

Can't go to Tsarskoy? But all he was thinking about was this matter, so he was in a hurry to complete all the formalities as soon as possible, but in the end, it still didn't work!

Is it based on the stability of the whole situation? Well, maybe that's right, in the interests of Russia?

He comforted himself in his heart.

But when he went to Tsarsko, he just wanted to stay for a while until the children recovered to health, and then he would go with them...... It is better to go to Livadia, where the climate is good.

But where is it now? Going to base camp?

Go to the base camp, as it should be, there are also things to explain there.

Maybe you can call your mother from Kiev to Mogilev and say goodbye to her.

What if you have to leave Russia now?

"Go to base camp!"

Does that sound like a question? Notice? Ask for permission? Or maybe they're asking for something that is really inexplicable.

Guchkov kept staring at the Tsar, it should have been Nikolai, this time, he did not hide the slightest look in his eyes, he saw that the Tsar was already frightened.

Base camp, isn't that the center of the army? On the side is Alekseev but there is no Alex, then he can't make any decisions, he can't do anything!

After thinking about it, Guchkov nodded.

"You can go!"

In this regard, General Rusky was a little puzzled, and he was also opposed in his heart, how could he let the abdicated Supreme Commander go to the base camp? But he did not say anything against Guchkov.

This was the second edict that had been delivered, and the two councillors had asked Frederis to sign two of the Tsar's signatures, and Nikolai nodded in agreement. …,

Fredericks sat down with difficulty, took out his fountain pen with running water, looked at the edict of abdication that he never wanted to see, and drew for a long time, never bothering to write his name.

"Alright then!"

Nikolai asked the two parliamentarians to write a receipt certifying that they had taken the abdication.

"If you are with a wolf, you have to be ......"

At this time, the wall of the living room is fifteen minutes away until midnight.

The Tsar's train was able to leave here for Mogilev, who spent three days and nights wandering around meaninglessly, losing his crown and returning to where he should not have been.

The two trains stopped for another hour, during which Nikolai drank night tea with his attendants, but they did not talk about abdication.

Facing the attendants, Nikolai said in a very normal tone.

"They've been holding me for a long time!"

At 0:40 midnight, the command of the Northern Front reported to the base camp that the tsar's edict of abdication had finally been signed.

Okay, after all, it's still signed, and it's not so extremely nervous anymore.

The rule of the tsar ended, Nicholas II did not exist, but instead of Alexei II, Mikhail II was produced.

The Northern Front would soon pass the text, the Tsar's rule was over, and a stable situation was coming, but life was often a mixture of great moments and insignificant moments, and just as the edict was received and the situation stabilized, troubles that could not be escaped from the base camp came one after another, and the commander of the military movement reported that more than fifty men of lower rank, armed with pistols and sabers, had come down from the train and demanded the disarming of the station guards, The commander of the military movement asked them whose order they had made this request, and they said that they had been ordered by an officer, and that the officer had stayed in the carriage, and that the commander had sent a gendarme to verify it, and that some of the "delegation" had immediately attacked him and fired his gun, but fortunately a platoon of dragoons appeared at the station, and the soldiers who had come had fled and there were no officers in the carriage at all.

Those people would then regroup and run to Vitebsk, or a new so-called "delegation" would emerge, or ten such delegations, and the historic Tsarist Edict from the Hughes-style telegraph should once again send a telegram to the irresponsible Rodencke, but with respectful wording, and all the military command, even the Supreme Command, would be under his head......

When making this decision, Alekseev reminded in a mildly worded manner.

"In the area of war and in the area of combat units, the railway guards cannot be disarmed in any way, and the most severe measures must be taken against the soldiers and bandits and those who claim to be delegations......"

At this time, Alekseev was already angry at the chaos in front of him, and there was even more accusation between the lines.

"So that the combat units do not suffer from deep moral turpitude like the Petrograd garrison!"

Luo Jiangke's work was still so unreassuring, he also disturbed the commanders-in-chief of the front army for three nights, and asked them to answer the telephone, so the accurate military telegrams sent to him were one after another, talking about worrying events, but he acted as if he had not received these telegrams at all.

However, for Alekseev, who has experienced the intense work of the staff officers of the headquarters, he has the ability to think about many things at the same time and deal with them without omission, including the most trivial and unexpected things.

Almost immediately after receiving a telegram from Pskov, and confirming it to the Tsar's edict, he ordered that it should be forwarded immediately and simultaneously by telegraph to all fronts, and then to all field armies, to all heads of military districts, and immediately distributed to all troops, and now all of Russia was waiting for him. …,

As for the rest, it was time to consider the question of the army's renewed oath of allegiance, and then he sent a telegram to Rodchenko and Lviv on this issue.

At the same time, Alekseev thought that while busy with the affairs of Pskov and Petrograd, people had forgotten one thing - how to inform their allies about the abdication of the tsar! This could not wait, and the abdicated tsar himself was in the best position to do so, and it was advisable for the new government in Petrograd to prepare such a proclamation.

While the special train had not yet left Pskov, it was customary to report the news from the Imperial Army to the Tsar through Voyeikov, the head of the Imperial Court of the General of the Guard, after all, General Grojian and other military commanders of the Imperial Army were imprisoned in the municipal offices, and if the Tsar went there, should he be vigilant.

Just when Alekseev was thinking so in his heart, at this time, Pskov's side reported. Nikolai? Grand Duke Nikolaevich was appointed Supreme Commander-in-Chief.

"Great!"

As soon as he heard the news, Alekseev screamed, which was expected, and now he should send a telegram to the Tsar, but how to call himself? Is it called "lowly duty"? Nowadays, there is no such word, and we need to find a new word, just say "the most faithful to you".

"Hmm...... You remember."

After finally finishing the draft, Alekseev said to the secretary.

"Most faithfully to your Alekseev petition instructions, when will Your Majesty be able to come to the base camp? Before he arrived, would General Alekseev be allowed to act as commander-in-chief? Is there a need for new regulations? Well, for now, it seems to be ...... It seems like everything is ...... for the time being."

Alekseev narrowed his sharp eyes and took a closer look at the telegram.

From the moment the Tsar went to the station, only three days and nights had passed, and it was also in the middle of the night.

It took only three days and nights for the boulder that stood in the way of Russia's advance to be removed, completely removed...... (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe to the mobile network (.), reward, your support is my biggest motivation. )……，
