Chapter 534: If You Don't Die, You Won't Die
More than 200 people were killed, including more than 20 soldiers and policemen who suppressed the strike, and more than 2,000 were injured.
He knows very well that he must adopt an iron fist for this kind of thing, and he cannot be soft-hearted, and he cannot give these people any unrealistic illusions, especially those chaotic parties who are manipulating behind the scenes, and only the gallows is their only suitable destination.
In the following half a month, more than 5,000 suspects were arrested in various parts of Russia, and not only Comrade Vladimir's comrades-in-arms, but also some other dissidents who were usually too radical have also become the targets of His Excellency the Prime Minister.
At this time, whether it is the Eastern Front or the Western Front, the war situation has returned to a stalemate, it is obvious that this will not work, we must make persistent efforts to defeat the Entente to end the war, before Britain and France are no longer able to make a new breakthrough, Nikolai must once again play the role of the savior of Europe, simply put, he must mobilize more troops, but then he needs more supplies, but his wife's loan from China has been spent, and Yang Feng will definitely not give him a new loan in such a short time, After all, no matter how deep Yang Feng's relationship with his wife is, there is a limit.
Therefore, Nikolai can only find a way in his own country, or to put it simply, he can only continue to oppress the common people at home, and this will undoubtedly further deepen the resentment against him in the hearts of the Russian people because of the St. Petersburg tragedy, and this resentment can easily turn into hatred with the help of others.
Nikolai did not realize this, and in his opinion, his subjects should be thrifty with his empire at this time, as long as the war was won. He'll give them the one they want.
But alas, he was wrong, and a storm was brewing about to sweep his regime.
"Look, this is the cheapest way to destroy an empire, we just gave them a few million Chinese dollars, this money is still earned from the Russians, even if you add William to them, the total investment of the two is only more than 10 million Chinese dollars, but it puts the world's largest empire in the face of the most terrible danger." Emperor Yang looked at the information in his hand and said with a smile.
It is true that he has not given much money to Vladimir over the years, and the sum of the front and back is only more than 4 million Chinese dollars, but this money has become a lever to pry Russia's life.
"There seem to be a lot of people in our country who are promoting their things." Attendant Yuan said worriedly.
"Kill. Don't kill them openly, let the intelligence services use some covert means, or bribe some local pi mang, hei gang members to do it, turn their deaths into the simplest criminal cases, and the domestic newspapers should strengthen their censorship, strictly prohibit the publication of these things, even if they want to criticize these things, and let them disappear silently. Emperor Yang said without hesitation.
In China, actually. He didn't worry about these at all, the reason was very simple, there was no foundation, and he was too poor to eat. At this time, China had no food, and even had the signs of national waste in later generations, and even many old-school parliamentarians were lamenting that the younger generation was a loser.
While they were talking, an attendant hurriedly walked in. Handing a telegram to His Excellency the Chief Attendant, Chief Yuan was dumbfounded when he saw it.
"What's wrong?" Emperor Yang asked.
"Your Majesty, U.S. President Brian is dead." Attendant Yuan said with a wry smile.
His Excellency Brian, the great and noble president, did not escape the persistent assassination of his enemies. Half an hour earlier, while inspecting in a car, he was killed by a bomb planted in the road, and his death was so complete and tragic that it took his entourage more than an hour to piece together the body of His Excellency the President. As for the murderer who pressed the detonator, he was just fifteen years old this year, and it was impossible to stand trial under the laws of any country, and the murderer was a fool, and he only knew that two strangers had given him a bag of candy and asked him to press down on something in his hand when His Excellency the President's car passed by a certain location.
No one can doubt that the fools, with the loyalty and rigor peculiar to their kind, scrupulously fulfilled their duties, and then sent His Excellency the President of the United States to God, who, given the greatness and nobility of this president, would surely go to heaven.
It's a pity that he went to heaven, but his country began to go to hell.
"Oh, they're dying on their own!" Emperor Yang couldn't help but let out a long lament when he learned that his old friend had been killed.
Who killed Brian, this estimate can be guessed by anyone with a little brain, those big capitalists are looking forward to his death for a day, and it is not just a one-time action, even the mastermind of the previous assassination of Brian has been picked up by the pervasive newspaper reporters, the main suspect is the old Morgan who is still sitting on Wall Street with the support of the Bank of England, although it is not what it used to be. It's just that President Brian, who took the overall situation into account, personally suppressed the investigation of those assassinations, and then as Britain was mired in the quagmire of war in Europe, there was no time to take care of the United States, and he was worried about angering Yang Feng, so he also secretly suppressed it, so that those capitalists temporarily stopped, but it was obvious that the changes in the European war situation made these people unable to sit still.
You must know that judging from the current situation, the victory of the Entente is basically decided, and the next thing is nothing more than when Russia will be able to break the balance again, anyway, the war potential of the Central Powers has been exhausted, all the group armies are not full, and all of them have no reserve recruits to replenish, just like a source of water in front of the growing Russian army, defeat can be said to be a foregone conclusion.
If the United States does not enter the war, then it will not even be able to drink the last sip of soup, although at this time because of the Alabama issue, the Caribbean Alliance is still blockading the United States, but this problem is easy to solve, it is a big deal to throw Alabama away, don't they want to stand up? Then withdraw the US troops stationed in Afghanistan and allow them to stand up, anyway, there is not much value there, it is nothing more than some cotton plantations, which can be regarded as a step down for Emperor Yang, since Emperor Yang is also ready to invest in the Entente, he will definitely not be able to blockade the United States again, after all, his reason for blockading the United States no longer exists.
And this is Brian's resolute opposition, the president is the most staunch anti-war activist, in fact, in the original history of the First World War, he was the main opponent of the United States to participate in the war, and even resigned as secretary of state in the Wilson administration for this reason, you must know that the United States at that time to enter the war is much more beneficial than at this time, but even then he is still against it, let alone now, not to mention that the United States is now steadily advancing towards his ideals, if he participates in the war, then the strength of the capitalists will definitely come back, This is absolutely unacceptable to him.
With Brian in office, it is absolutely impossible for Alabama to stand up, this is his main weapon to fight against the consortium with Yang Feng's hand, without this weapon, it is difficult for him to take care of those big capitalists so freely, but if Alabama does not become independent, it is impossible for the Caribbean Alliance to lift the blockade that has been maintained against the United States for more than three years, and if the Caribbean Alliance does not lift the blockade, it is impossible for the United States to go to Europe to participate in the war.
So, for the capitalists, President Bryan must die.
As long as he dies, Vice President Wilson will take over, although they are both both Democratic Parties, but there is still an essential difference between Wilson, who was born in the traditional Democratic Party, and Brian, who was later merged into the Democratic Party by the original People's Party, although the two have the same views on the treatment of labor interests, but in terms of cracking down on conglomerates, Wilson is not as sparing no effort as Brian, and Wilson, who was born as a university president, is not so fanatical about the pastoral era.
"Okay, everything that should have jumped out has jumped out, since they want to go to war, let's let them go to war." Emperor Yang sneered and said that he didn't care about picking grass and beating rabbits, but the United States itself was looking for death.
"So how do we react?" Yuan asked hurriedly, at this time, everyone knew that Brian was a person of Emperor Yang from some kind of Cheng dรน, and it was up to the master to beat the dog, and now he had killed his little brother, and the American capitalists were waiting for Yang Feng's reaction with fear, although they guessed that Emperor Yang would not be furious when he was about to bet on the Entente, but the United States was shrouded in his shadow after all.
Speaking of which, those American capitalists dared to play this hand, and it was not without psychological burden, but they really did not resist the huge benefits brought about by participating in the war.
"Reaction? What can we react to, this is the internal affairs of the Americans, and it is not easy for us outsiders to interfere, so we will issue a statement to express our shock and condolences, and then send someone to visit Brian's widow in my name, and at the same time believe that the US government has the ability to investigate the truth of the incident clearly, bring the real murderer to justice, and let President Brian's soul in heaven rest in peace. Emperor Yang said solemnly.
Chief Yuan immediately understood what Emperor Yang meant, that is, to tell the American capitalists that Emperor Yang welcomed them into the war. (To be continued......)
