Chapter 654: Kolchak's Choice (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
On September 2, 4616 (18), Princess Anastasia, under the protection of the Empire, held a grand press conference in Yanjing, the capital of the Empire. In front of the news media from all over the world and foreign envoys in China, she told how the Tsar's family was killed by the Russian government. Accusing the Russian government of brutality, hoping that the world can help her achieve justice.
"The executioners, they broke into our room and pronounced a verdict against us without any trial, sentencing the Emperor of the Russian Empire, my father, Nicholas II, to death. Not only that, but my mother, Empress Alexandra, my three sisters and the Russian crown prince, were shot by them. I, on the other hand, was crushed under my three sisters to avoid being shot by them. Moreover, the executioners then re-fired four shots at His Royal Highness Crown Prince Alexei until he was confirmed dead. My God! You must know that Alexei is only fourteen years old, and because of hemophilia, his health has always been poor. However, they brutally killed him. ”
At this point, Princess Anastasia couldn't stop crying.
The envoys of various countries in China and the reporters of the news media stationed in China sitting below were also shocked. Although, after the announcement of the Russian government, they had already guessed that the Tsar's family might have been poisoned by the Russian government. However, they still did not expect that everything would be so cruel and bloody.
"Oh God! Those guys deserve hell. They dare to shoot the emperor of a country without trial. Sir Juordian, a British company in China, looked angry.
"Yes! Not only did they kill His Majesty the Tsar and his wife, but they also didn't spare their children, which is simply madness! The U.S. Minister to China also said.
Other envoys to China also condemned this practice of the Soviet and Russian governments.
The reporters of the news media in the audience worked hard to write. The truth about the killing of the Tsar's family finally leaked out. No doubt. This will be the front page headline of the major newspapers in various countries tomorrow. We will send the news to China by telegram as soon as possible.
"Your Royal Highness, the British Empire will condemn this brutality of the Russian government. If Her Royal Highness wishes to reside in the UK, we will guarantee Her safety. Sir Jurdian said at once.
Subsequently, the U.S. minister to China and the French minister to China both issued invitations. As everyone knows, Princess Anastasia was the only daughter of Nicholas II. If she's there. It will undoubtedly appeal to those who support the tsar. In this way, we will take the lead in the layout of Russia in the future. Isn't it for this that China preemptively rescued the Russian princess?
Tang Shaoyi, the Imperial Foreign Minister, saw that these ministers in China dared to rob people in front of him, and his face suddenly became ugly.
However, Princess Anastasia was not bluffed by the guys' words. She has accepted the conditions of the Chinese Empire, and if she reneges on her promise, she will inevitably offend the Chinese Empire. In addition, Britain and other Western powers did not convince her. After the abdication of Nicholas II. He asked them for help, hoping to go into exile in Britain and other Western countries. However, one by one, these countries refused. Princess Anastasia, naturally, will not fall for these guys easily.
"Thank you, everyone. However, I am very happy living in China and do not want to go to other countries for the time being. Princess Anastasia flatly refused.
Princess Anastasia's performance made Tang Shaoyi, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Empire, very satisfied.
"Damn. The damned Chinese must have made some secret agreement with this princess. Sir Jurdian and the others all thought secretly. However, there is nothing they can do about it. Since Princess Anastasia volunteered to stay in China. Then they naturally have nothing to do about it. You can't really tear your face with the Chinese Empire, right? You know, the world war is not over yet. Although the Entente had gained the absolute upper hand, Germany was like a hundred-legged insect that died but did not stiffen, and no one dared to guarantee that there would be no accidents. Therefore, before the war is completely over, Britain, France, the United States and other countries do not want to tear their faces with China. Alliances must be maintained.
Since Princess Anastasia was reluctant to leave China, the envoys immediately became disinterested. Although, the alliance still said that they supported Princess Anastasia and condemned the atrocities of the Soviet government. But anyone can hear it. It's just a scene. It's just lip service. If you really want them to contribute or pay for it, I'm afraid it's unlikely.
Princess Anastasia's press conference in China caused an uproar around the world. The brutal murder of the Tsar's family was reported in the news media of almost every country. This suddenly made the Soviet Russian government condemned from all over the world, and made Soviet Russia completely become a flood beast in the eyes of the world.
And this also made Comrade Ulyanov in Moscow very angry, not only smashed two pieces of Chinese porcelain, but also drenched the blood of the dogs scolded by Dzerzhinsky and others. At the same time, Ulyanov also instructed Comrade Yue Fei, who was serving as a special envoy in China, to express their protest to the Chinese side.
After receiving Comrade Ulyanov's instructions, Yue Fei immediately went to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Empire and urgently met with Chinese Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi.
As soon as they met, Yue Fei immediately expressed his protest.
"Your Excellency Foreign Secretary, what the Chinese Empire has done is to tear up the commitments between our two countries. The trust that has been built up between our two countries will be destroyed in a flash. The Chinese Empire had to give Soviet Russia an account on this matter. Yue Fei roared menacingly.
"Your Excellency, I don't think there's anything wrong with the Empire. We just saved a girl who almost died at the hands of an executioner. Tang Shaoyi said expressionlessly.
"Your Excellency, this will destroy the friendship between the Chinese Empire and Soviet Russia." Yue Fei said viciously. Why can't he hear that the Chinese Empire clearly wants to support Princess Anastasia and make trouble for Soviet Russia!
"It seems that there is no friendship between us and Soviet Russia. However, if the Russian government intends to break its promise and go to war against us, then we will have to be forced to fight back. Tang Shaoyi said unceremoniously.
Suddenly, Yue Fei was silent. They have paid a great price to stabilize China, and if China continues to attack, then their previous efforts may be in vain.
The protest of the Russian government against the Chinese Empire could only end in the end. Of course, the Russian government also issued a statement claiming that all this was an imperialist conspiracy, that Princess Anastasia, who appeared in China, was simply an impostor, and that the Tsar's family had long been killed by the White Army. Ulyanov is good for all Russians to unite against imperialism.
Of course, except for those who supported the Soviet government, no one believed Ulyanov's nonsense at all.
As for several leaders of the White Army, it seems that they also chose to ignore the existence of Princess Anastasia. The leaders of the White Army, such as Denikin and Yudenich, received a letter from Princess Anastasia, but threw it aside. Both of them received support from Britain, France, the United States and other countries. Without the support of Britain, France, the United States and other countries, they may have been defeated by the Soviet and Russian armies long ago.
As for Kolchak, whose territory is in Western Siberia, there is some hesitation.
Kolchak, who is now one of the main leaders of the White Army, can even be called the head of the White Army with the highest status.
Kolchak was born in the Russian Navy, and when World War I broke out, Kolchak, who served as chief of fleet operations in the Baltic Fleet, was extremely excited. However, the Empire's cumbersome war machine soon failed, and many of Russia's generals behaved mediocrely. However, Kolchak was a commanding man, and he was promoted to rear admiral shortly after he gave the German marines a head-on blow under Riga. Kolchak was good at minelaying, and his ships often went deep into enemy waters to lay mines, and he once sank dozens of German ships. In the year 4614 (16) of the Yellow Emperor, Kolchak was promoted to vice admiral and became commander of the Black Sea Fleet. He also made great achievements in the Black Sea, sinking a number of German warships in Constantinople and firmly holding the control of the Black Sea in the hands of the Russian army.
After the February Revolution broke out in Russia, the Tsar was forced to abdicate; Kolchak was the first admiral to swear allegiance to the Provisional Government. "I am not in the service of one form or another, but of the motherland, which I see above all else," he said. ”
In the year 4616 (18) of the Yellow Emperor, a cabinet was established in Ufa, in the Urals, that is, the Russian Provisional Government, and later, the cabinet was moved to Chelyabinsk in Western Siberia (the original history was Omsk, but now Omsk has been captured by the top army), and Kolchak was appointed military minister. What he saw in Chelyabinsk was displeasing to him. The members of the ruling cabinet of ministers are bogged down in endless debates about the future form of government in Russia. The army is a rabble of untrained stragglers. The officers suggested that all power should be handed over to Kolchak.
On the one hand, Kolchak feared an attack by the Chinese army, and on the other hand, he was unwilling to give allegiance to Princess Anastasia, who was under Chinese control. So, he was caught in a dilemma.
However, after a short period of thought, Kolchak decided to ignore Princess Anastasia's solicitation. In his opinion, he is loyal to Russia, and not to China behind Princess Anastasia. (To be continued.) )
