In fact, Russia encountered great trouble during the great battle in Darkhan, because the Russian army and navy had lost 1.8 million troops in the war, of which more than 1.1 million were killed, but the pensions of the dead officers and soldiers were not paid to the families of these dead Russian officers and soldiers, which made the anger of the families of the dead Russian officers and soldiers rise to the peak. ∈ ♀ the top novel, X. So with the collusion of well-intentioned people, the European region of Russia began to become lively.

First of all, the families of the fallen Russian officers and soldiers in St. Petersburg, who gathered more than 100,000 people, went to the Hermitage Square to ask Tsar Nicholas II for an explanation, why did my relatives lose their lives for Russia, but the Reich did not even give me the little promised pension?

But I don't know what's going on, without an order, the Russian ** police, who maintained order, actually shot at the families of the Russian officers and soldiers who died in the battle, causing a tragedy in which nearly 500 people were killed and thousands were injured.

Then the whole of Russia fell into chaos, and the uprisings that overthrew the Tsar's rule in Russia and Europe were set off, and most of the people involved in the uprising were the families of the Russian officers and soldiers who died in battle, and the scale was getting bigger and bigger, and even the workers, peasants and some soldiers in Russia also revolted to overthrow the Tsar's ** system, and the chaos intensified after the news of the Russian army's failure to attack the city of Darkhan was transmitted back to Europe, and the whole situation has lost control.

As a military feudal imperialist country, Russia still retains the land tenure system of large landlords and the rule of the tsars, and has become an extremely politically and economically backward country. The tsarist government relied on foreign capital externally, was keen on aggression and expansion, and practiced brutal class oppression, national oppression, and economic exploitation at home.

The class and national contradictions in Russia are unprecedentedly acute. The successive defeats in this war with Lin Daxin have become the cause of this great chaos. Coupled with the encouragement of others, Russia has become a crisis.

Inside the Kremlin in St. Petersburg. Russian Tsar Nicholas II was so angry that he threw a precious ceramic cup on the ground, and with a "bang-" sound, the precious ceramic cup suddenly split apart.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer Witte, the Minister of the Admiralty, and the Chief of the General Staff of the Army, Gorrosky, who were standing under Tsar Nicholas II, quickly bowed their heads, they understood how angry Tsar Nicholas II was now.

"What's going on? Who ordered the military police to be in order at that time? Why is there a rebellion everywhere all at once? Why? Why is that? Don't those people know that our Russian Empire is now at war, and that they will destroy our Russian Empire by doing so! Tsar Nicholas II shouted almost angrily, and his shouts echoed throughout the room.

The three important Russian ministers looked at each other, and it was Gorrosky, the chief of the General Staff of the Russian Army, who spoke first: "Your Majesty the Tsar, the intelligence department of the empire has found out about the shooting by the military police. It was the platoon commander of a military police second lieutenant who maintained order at that time who ordered his subordinates to shoot at the crowd, and then other military police officers did not know the situation, and they also shot one after another, which caused a tragedy, and the second lieutenant of the military police platoon lost his trace afterwards, but the intelligence department suspected that he was a member of the majority party, and the intelligence department found that the rebellions that appeared in various parts of the empire were basically instigated by this majority party. ”

Tsar Nicholas II gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Majority! It's this majority party again! ”

Nicholas II knew that there was such an organization in Russia whose goal was to overthrow his own tsarist rule, and it had been suppressed by the tsarist government. It's been disappearing for a while, but I didn't expect it to suddenly pop out now, and at a critical moment in the Russian war, I stabbed myself and Russia in the back.

Gorrosky continued with a sad face: "Your Majesty the Tsar. The current situation is very unoptimistic, the Siberian theater of operations has once again suffered a crushing defeat, and all the areas east of Lake Baikal have been lost. The total number of troops lost in various battlefields is as high as more than 900,000, that is, plus the six armies we have just sent. The total strength of the Siberian theater of operations does not exceed 670,000, and it is very difficult to hold the current area. There is no need to consider launching a counteroffensive against the Dingbei Army. Moreover, now that there are rebellions all over the country, we can no longer carry out even the second phase of our planned wartime mobilization plan, and we are no longer able to support the Siberian theater of operations. ”

After a pause, Gorrosky continued: "What's worse is that our troops responsible for quelling the rebellion in various places have been defeated by the rebel forces in many areas, some cities have fallen into the hands of the rebel forces, and some of the soldiers of our imperial army have also joined the rebel forces, and now the number of rebel forces has become more and more, and the number of these rebel forces has exceeded 300,000 in less than one and a half months, if we don't immediately extinguish this tide of rebellion, It could get worse and worse. ”

Hearing that the number of rebel forces exceeded 300,000, Tsar Nicholas II gasped and said urgently: "Gorrosky, immediately dispatch troops and do everything possible to exterminate all the rebel forces, and absolutely not let them develop more and more." ”

Gorrosky said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty the Tsar, the situation of our army is also very bad now, the soldiers sympathize with the rebel forces, which makes the combat effectiveness of the troops decline, and the battles to suppress the rebel forces in various places are rarely successful, and our army in Europe is less than 700,000 left, and most of them have to guard against Germany and Austria-Hungary, so that our troops have become a little stretched, if we want to fully suppress the rebel forces, I am now considering whether to transfer some troops from the Siberian theater of operations." ”

Tsar Nicholas II was speechless when he heard this, the reason why the soldiers sympathized with the rebel forces was because most of these rebel fighters were the families of the Russian officers and soldiers who had died in battle, and the troops of the Siberian theater of operations had to be transferred, so what about the area west of the Lena River and Lake Baikal? The troops were transferred back to Europe to quell the chaos, so wouldn't the Northern Army take the opportunity to continue the offensive!

If there is no obstruction from the Siberian Theater, the Dingbei Army can even attack all the way to the European region of Russia, you must know that almost all the Russian troops in the area east of the Ural Mountains have been transferred to the area to which the Siberian Theater belongs, and it can even be said that as long as the Dingbei Army captures Irkutsk, what awaits the Dingbei Army will be a flat river. The Russian army has no longer been able to organize any resistance to the east of the Urals.

If you want to end the war with Lin Daxin, it is not equivalent to declaring this war with Lin Daxin. Has Russia completely failed!

Chancellor of the Exchequer Witte hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, this rebellion is mainly caused by the fact that the families of the Russian officers and soldiers who died in the battle do not receive pensions. In addition, the Siberian theater lost more than 900,000 people at once, most of them were killed in battle, and this part of the pension must also be raised, otherwise the situation of the rebellion may be even more severe. ”

Tsar Nicholas II had a headache after hearing Werther's words, and with the hundreds of thousands of people killed in the Siberian theater of war, the pension may need to be paid to millions of families, which will be a huge amount, and the Russian treasury has run out of money. Do you want to take money out of your own private coffers?

However, Witte then gave a suggestion and said: "Your Majesty the Tsar, most of the funds for the second phase of wartime mobilization and expansion have not been used, can we use this funds as a pension?" ”

Tsar Nicholas II frowned even tighter, and if he did not continue to expand the army in the second phase of wartime mobilization, how could this war with Lin Daxin continue!

At this time, the Admiral Minister of the Navy, Grand Duke Vichi, said: "Your Majesty, now the nobles of the empire hope that the empire can do everything possible to end the war with Lin Daxin and quell the rebellion within the empire. We...... Is it time to think about ending this war? ”

This rebellion has implicated many Russian nobles, not only has their property suffered great losses, but even many nobles have died in the rebellions in various places, and a large number of noble officers have died in the war with Lin Daxin. Or captured, the entire Russian aristocracy has had enough of this war with no victory in sight, and wants to end it. Throw the Russian army into the suppression of the rebels.

The nobles who had lost their loved ones had united to put pressure on Nicholas II, so it was the Grand Duke of Vicky who did not say anything. Nicholas II also knew that there was now a growing voice among the nobility calling for an end to the war.

In fact, none of the three important Russian ministers wanted to end the war like this. It was a few of them who initially supported the war with Lin Daxin, although they were all confidants of Nicholas II, but if the war failed, someone would always stand up and bear the responsibility for the defeat, Nicholas II would definitely not stand up, and if they didn't get it right, someone would have to become the scapegoat for this war.

But now the situation in Russia has to choose to end the war, otherwise the whole of Russia is in danger, Germany knows that the Russian Siberian theater has suffered another crushing defeat, and there are rebellions in Russia, Germany has increased its forces to the border areas of the two countries. Immediately afterwards, Austria-Hungary, Germany's central power, also sent additional troops to the border with Russia.

As a result, Russia's troops in Europe on the border with Germany and Austria-Hungary have not been mobilized, and it is also the reason why Russia's troops are now somewhat stretched.

So the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Witte, the Minister of the Admiralty, the Grand Duke of Vicky, and the Chief of the General Staff of the Army, Gorrosky, had privately agreed that they would persuade Tsar Nicholas II to end the war, which had no hope of victory, and if the war continued, Russia would go step by step towards the abyss.

As for what will happen to the three of them after the war, they have not considered it, and from this point of view, the ethics and national feelings of the three important Russian ministers are still commendable.

After listening to the words of the three ministers, Tsar Nicholas II looked very lonely, he waved his hand and said: "You go down first, I need to be quiet!" ”

Witt, Grand Duke Vechio and Gorrosky looked at each other, all of them looked helpless, and now, Russia, which is suffering from internal and external troubles, has no way to continue the war, they believe that Tsar Nicholas II is like a mirror in his heart, and now it is only Tsar Nicholas II who is unwilling in his heart.

After Witt, Grand Duke Vechich and Gorrosky left, Nicholas II let his attendants leave the room, and he sat quietly in the room by himself for an afternoon, after which Nicholas II sent a telegram to the Russian minister to the Qing Dynasty in Beijing, Merkoshakin, and Nicholas II ordered Merkoshakin to immediately leave for Shenyang to start armistice negotiations with the northeast.

Nicholas II thought about it for an afternoon and finally figured it out, now the situation in Russia has become very critical, it is not possible to survive the crisis if he can stand up, he must immediately end the war with Lin Daxin, and transfer the troops of the Siberian theater to Europe to quell the rebellion, if the Dingbei Army continues to attack, the situation will become even worse.

Nicholas II was ready to lose a large amount of land, but the loss of land in the Far East and Siberia could not shake the foundation of Russia, and Nicholas II believed that when Russia recovered, the lost land would be recovered with interest. (To be continued......) R640
