Chapter 620: The Heart of Rescue
"What, what else do you want to do with Nicky's family?" William's pupils shrank, and he said with astonishment.
Now that the Bolsheviks were in power, the abdicated Nicholas was most likely to be executed as Louis XVI had done with their deep feud with the Tsar. Although he was our rival in the previous war, he was also my father's cousin, and we had a close relationship with each other in peacetime. At present, the war based on national interests is over, and Nikolai, as the loser, can no longer pose a threat to us. For the sake of kinship, we may be able to provide him with appropriate shelter and allow him to come to Germany for the rest of his life. Qingying met William's gaze and said softly.
Hearing Qingying's words, William's eyes showed a hint of complexity, as if he was nostalgic and regretful; After a while, he let out a long breath and said, "I am glad that you have the heart to save Nicky. However, the extradition of the family to Germany for refuge had many constraints. ”
"It is true that the war has ended with a German victory, and Nicky, who has been relegated to the common people, has no longer had any more enmity with the Hohenzollerns; However, the German people did not have the slightest sympathy for him, the abdicated Tsar. In this war against Russia in the East, 200,000 young German soldiers fell forever on the battlefield they fought on, and millions of people suffered the unforgettable pain of losing their loved ones. There is an indelible anger and hatred towards the Russians, especially for Nikki himself, who has joined forces with Britain and France in declaring war on us. William looked at the young man in front of him and said slowly. If you take the Nicky family to Germany and treat them well. So how will the German people see me Hohenzollern? They would have thought that the Imperial Family had betrayed the warriors who had fought for Germany. Their lives are worse than a dead grass that can be thrown into a fireplace to burn and heat! You don't want the benevolent image that we have built up through social security to collapse because of this incident, do you? ”
"Other than that, I don't want to see Nicky's queen either. Although this woman was the daughter of the Grand Duke of Hesse in the German Empire, she completely abandoned her homeland after marrying Nikki; As far as I know, she was disgusted with me as a distant cousin, and repeatedly made hostile remarks to Nicky about me and Germany. Nicky would eventually choose to ally himself with Britain and France, and this woman definitely played a role in that! Why, then, should I give her shelter? William added with some indignation.
Qingying pondered for a moment. Then he said: "If my father fears that the people will be angry at us for accepting the Tsar's actions, then we might as well place him in foreign lands that we can control." In this way, the Hohenzollerns would not be criminals who ignored the sacrifices of their own soldiers and shook hands with their enemies. In fact, the reason why I wanted to rescue them was not all due to the kinship between the two sides: getting some forces in Russia to work for us was the central priority of extradition of Uncle Nikolai's family. ”
"Although the Romanov dynasty fell, it ruled Russia for more than 300 years; It is impossible for this powerful force, with such a strong heritage, to completely disappear from the Russian scene in just a few months. At present, among the forces of resistance against the Bolsheviks in Russia, in addition to the middle class and rightists who yearn for democratic constitutionalism, there are definitely not a few people who have royalist thoughts in their hearts; If we can put the Tsar's family under control. They will undoubtedly be put to good use by Germany, and even reap their gratitude and loyalty. Qingying's mind turned. "Even if Uncle Nikolai has announced his abdication, he still has Grand Duke Mikhail, the heir to the throne in the official edict, and his young son Alexei, who can be the banner of the Russian royalists." ”
"Will Nicky be sent to another country where he can control him...... William muttered, his mind beginning to carefully discern the pros and cons of this option. It would have been much less of a hassle to provide shelter to the Tsar without the direct intervention of the Hohenzollerns: at present, however, it is difficult to find a force willing to receive the Nikolai family and be subject to the will of Berlin. The Viennese court resented the Tsar even more than the German people, with whom they had forged an irresolubling tie over the Balkan question 40 years earlier; Not to mention the Turks, who shouted Allahu Akbar, who had a millennial feud with Orthodox Russia. Romania also had a gap with Russia, and its ability to rudder and stab Russians in the back during the war made it difficult for it to be an ideal place for Nikolai.
"If my father was worried that Uncle Nikolai didn't have a proper home, then the Netherlands might be a good choice. Queen Wilhelmina was also a member of the royal marriages of Europe, and was also related to Uncle Nicholas, so it was reasonable to use it to settle their family. As for the attitude of the Amsterdam government, I am sure that they will not refuse this small request from Germany now. Qingying expressed his considerations.
William's expression was solemn, and he stood in place for a long time; After a while, he finally spoke slowly, "Etter, why are you so obsessed with saving the fate of Nicky's family?" Nicky and I have been friends for almost forty years, but due to the limitations of our positions, our cousins have always tested each other, beware of each other, and even dug traps to lure each other in, but we have never had any real family affection. Is it because your significant other is from the Romanov family that you have these considerations? ”
In the face of William's inquiry, Qingying also felt a trace of confusion in her heart. In this matter, he is indeed not as rational as he expressed in his previous planning; And what he thinks more about is to try to make up for the shortcomings of history, and to give the Russian princess who has been with him since she was a teenager a little comfort. His expression darkened unusually and he said, "I am very uncomfortable with the Bolshevik attribute of extreme political oppression. In any case, I would not like to see another monarch executed in such an atmosphere. ”
"In that case, then I'll leave this matter to you." William sighed and said, "The Romanov family can marry you, it is really the best decision they have made in this century. ”
After some conversation, it was the middle of the night in the middle of the moon. The stars shine brightly and the cool breeze is light. Qingying walked briskly, and soon came to the door of the temple where she lived: the light in the room had been extinguished without accident, leaving only a flickering door that had not been locked, waiting for the arrival of the owner here.
The soap fragrance is pervasive, and the water mist is thick; Qingying, who came out of the bathtub, wiped her body with a towel, only to feel that the fatigue of the ten days of travel had been completely eliminated. With a smile on his face, he quietly walked into his bedroom; Fang Fu opened the door a small slit, and a familiar fragrance like cold plum dangui lingered in his nose, making him can't help but let out a sigh of satisfaction.
On the wide bed, a delicate and slender jade body is lying sideways; It was the height of summer, and her owner wore only a few strands of cloth to cover key areas, exposing large swaths of her pale and smooth skin to the air. The moonlight was as bright as water, illuminating the whole room in a cold and bright light. The green silk like a waterfall, the smooth jade skin, and the seductive delicate body were all the situations when Qingying spent a good night with her for the first time.
Qingying quietly stared at this beautiful body in her sleep, her heart full of happiness and gratitude. Although there are differences in nationality and culture, this little princess still gives her every qiē to herself without reservation. Compared with the painstaking pursuit of the person you love, the real happiness may be achieved by Lian Li and Naruto with the person who loves you: Aren't he and Sanya, who is sleeping quietly in front of him, the best example?
Qingying carefully lay down on the bed and pressed the bulging body into her arms from behind: whenever the two of them were alone, Sanya would ask him to hug her to sleep in this way, so that she could feel safe in the back of her solid arms. A soft and smooth feeling filled the whole chest, making Qingying couldn't help but hug this excellent human pillow even tighter. Yet a moment later, he froze in place; Because all the touches of his palms were warm, moist teardrops.
"Sanya, what's wrong with you?" Qingying was greatly alarmed, and couldn't help but suddenly exert force with her hands; The little princess's light jade body turned around on the bed like a doll, and her pretty and beautiful face was directly in front of Qingying's eyes. Only then did he realize that the lover in front of him had lost a lot of weight than before he left; Tears trembled in the aqua-blue starry eyes, and the pillow towel underneath them was soaked with a clear water mark.
"Russia...... Split, those red demons took away the imperial power belonging to the Romanovs, and the relatives fell into their hands; Now all I have is you, and you must not take another step away from me......" Sanya spoke in a choked voice, wrapping her limbs around Qingying's body like an octopus. Qingying, who was a little hurt by this unprecedented force, just took out a right hand and buried Sanya's head in her neck socket, and stroked the tips of her hair and said softly: "Don't worry, I will always be with you in the future." It won't be long before Uncle Nikolai's family will be rescued by us, and you will never be alone. (To be continued......)
