Chapter 676: The Arbiter of the World
December 1, 1909. ☆ → top ☆ → point ☆ → small ☆ → said,
Standing on the ruins of the Peter and Paul Fortress, Vladimir looked gloomily at the south bank of the Neva River, his former glory and former glory had disappeared with the explosion of cannonballs, and in the smoke of gunpowder, black, yellow and white flags were fluttering, the dynasty that had been trampled under his feet had returned, and the Romanovs had returned.
The gunfire is still fierce, and it is clear that the warriors who fought for their faith are still making their last struggles, but it is no longer meaningful, everything is over, the Russian People's Republic is gone, a glorious era is gone, although it has only existed for less than a year, it will surely shine like the Paris Commune in the long river of history, for future generations to remember, an epic of justice and freedom.
Of course, this doesn't mean much to him, he has no future, he looks helplessly at the gun in his hand, this automatic pistol is still a gift from his Chinese friend, Vladimir can't help but smile bitterly, he is just a pawn of His Majesty the Emperor after all.
"A chess piece, just a chess piece!" He muttered to himself and raised his pistol, but did not notice that an Eagle fighter-bomber with a double-headed eagle logo was emerging from the clouds, and just as he was about to pull the trigger, two large-caliber machine guns on the wings also spewed flames, and the moment the pistol gun rang out, a barrage of bullets also broke his body in half.
After Vladimir's death, the remnants of the Red Russians in St. Petersburg continued to fight for two days, and the gunfire in the war-torn city finally subsided, and at the same time, hundreds of thousands of people, including the Chinese emperor's family and government, parliamentary officials, and representatives of various countries to the United Nations, were greeted at the distant Beijing railway station. The Russian Tsar, the Empress Dowager, and the four eldest princesses, all the cabinets, members of the Congress, and even a group of prisoners boarded the train together to begin their long journey.
A month later, the tsar will resume his enthronement in Moscow, St. Petersburg will not be able to. The Winter Palace has been completely reduced to ruins in the war, and the same is true of the Peter and Paul Fortress, but the Kremlin in Moscow is still intact, only a few shells, which had already begun to be repaired before the Battle of St. Petersburg, and there was no problem with completing it before the enthronement ceremony.
"Gone, all gone, everything passed away with the wind, with them. And my youth! Looking at the departing train, Emperor Yang said in a melancholy tone that was very in line with his identity as a poet.
Ye Guifei next to her snorted coldly.
Now who in Beijing does not know that Emperor Yang and the Grand Duchess of Olga are old friends, it is said that from this little Russian girl, Emperor Yang can always see the shadow of her mother. Now I guess I can't bear his little girlfriend.
Emperor Yang will definitely not go to the enthronement ceremony of the Russian Tsar, in fact, His Majesty the Emperor is no longer ready to travel abroad in the future, after all, he is old and can no longer stand the hardships of the journey. Of course, the main thing is that he knows very well that there are too many people who want him to die now, and if he goes out, these people will easily lose their minds. The 10-year-old crown prince will attend in his place, along with his second daughter. This daughter was born to Catherine, a year older than His Majesty the Tsar, and he and the Russian Empress Dowager had already decided to marry the two, which means that this is the future Her Majesty the Empress of the Russian Empire.
His eldest daughter is the Queen of Australia, this must not be married, and in the end it can only be recruited, and a large number of little princes in Europe are staring at this little girl who is only nine years old this year, in addition to him has a seven-year-old son this year, and His Royal Highness the Prince will wear the crown of the Japanese emperor in the future. As for the two crowns of the Emperor of India and the King of South Africa, which will always be hereditary by the Emperor of China, neither of these countries is part of the Empire of the Commonwealth of China, and if they are given to a child separately, it would be equivalent to making them completely independent, unlike Australia and Japan, which are already within the Commonwealth.
Emperor Yang has not had many children so far, and this problem has made people of insight in China worried, and some people even began to say that he should have a few more concubines, after all, since he ascended the throne, he is still surrounded by those women, all of whom are almost old and yellow, and even the youngest twins are in their early thirties.
Emperor Yang is helpless about this, it is estimated that he will kill the sperm if he crosses too many times!
The end of the Russian civil war did not restore peace to the world, on the contrary, there were even more and more wars, the Dutch and Indonesians who returned to Indonesia in Asia were fighting, the awakened in Africa were also setting off a wave of rebellion that spread to almost the entire continent, and even the situation in Europe was becoming more and more unstable, especially the resistance movements in the German occupation areas one after another, and the world continued to move forward in stumbling.
Soon the first untenable country appeared, after two years of war, although the Dutch received a lot of new weapons from China because of the friendship between the queen and Emperor Yang, but they were never able to regain control of Indonesia, and the heavy financial burden, more and more casualties among soldiers, also made them complain at home, and even seriously dragged down the recovery of the Dutch economy, after more than 50,000 casualties, the Dutch government finally decided to abandon the colony.
After some negotiations, the Kingdom of the Netherlands sold Indonesia to China at a price of one billion Chinese dollars, but the direct payment to them was only 100 million Chinese yuan, and the rest was paid by the Chinese government to the People's Bank of China in the form of helping them repay the loan, and the Kingdom of the Netherlands still had a full 3 billion loans in the People's Bank to be gradually repaid.
After the purchase of Indonesia, the Chinese government's acceptance of the land was still resisted by the Indonesians, but after so many years of war, the Indonesians were exhausted, and the population was less than five million, they could not fight against a superpower, after half a year of guerrilla warfare, the remnants of the Indonesian resistance laid down their arms, and the land was finally divided into four provinces and merged into the Chinese Empire.
Immediately followed by the Netherlands is Greece, their strength is already weak, simply unable to cope with the increasingly fierce wave of resistance in the Somaliland colony, and this colony not only did not bring them benefits, but became a heavy burden, the Greek government initially wanted to sell Somaliland to China, but the Chinese government refused on the grounds that the Beijing Declaration promised not to seek African land other than South Africa, and Greece, which had no choice but to sit down and negotiate with the, Eventually, Somaliland abruptly ended their colonial era by recognizing the Greek king as head of state.
This was praised by Emperor Yang, who saw the Greek government as setting a good example for re-establishing order in Africa, and rewarded the Greek and Somaliland governments with a low-interest loan, but the Somaliland rebellion also brought hope to the of the other colonies, and for the next twenty years, the rebellion in the land did not subside, and the vast majority of them were eventually granted, including those in the German colonies.
Because Germany was really unable to control Africa at this time, especially with the recovery of the strength of European countries, their resistance activities in the occupied areas of Europe became more and more serious, and the northern France supported by France, Belgium supported by Britain, Finland supported by Russia, and Eastern European countries all broke out from time to time various riots and attacks, which made the German government anxious.
The colonial wars and the resistance movement in the occupied areas of Europe seriously dragged down the German economy, and the sluggish economy caused dissatisfaction among the people at home.
The African countries that won the Du position eventually became the arena of the world's wrestling, and since then they have fallen into endless turmoil.
Thirty years after the end of the World War, war finally broke out again in Europe, this time due to the succession to the French throne, Charles XI died of illness in the second year of his accession to the throne, and was succeeded by his son Jacques I, who died of illness after reigning for more than 20 years, and remained unmarried without an heir. The Spanish Emperor Alfonso XIII demanded the French throne, the Duke of Orleans under the support of Germany also believed that he should inherit the throne, and when the mediation of Emperor Young himself failed, Spain and Germany declared war, Italy and Great Britain declared their support for Spain, Austria-Hungary declared neutrality, and then the Russian Tsar declared his support for Spain.
Because of the inaction and even troublemaking of those soldiers from North France, Belgium and Eastern Europe on the battlefield, the war ended in the defeat of Germany, although the losses on both sides were not large because of the small scale, but the resistance elements saw the weakness of Germany, followed by large-scale uprisings in North France and Belgium, and the local councils of Finland declared their independence from Germany, and then the North French Insurgent Army supported by the United West French Empire, the Belgian Insurrection Army supported by the British, and the Finnish Insurrection Army supported by Russia fought a guerrilla war with Germany for five years.
After Wilhelm's death, he was succeeded by his second son Friedrich, who wisely chose peace talks, and finally gave the three places to be established, and the north France immediately returned to France, but Germany did not back down from the Eastern European countries that were also about to move, and His Majesty the Chinese Emperor, who had not appeared for a long time, once again played the role of the world's arbiter, in exchange for Germany giving these places more autonomy in exchange for these places to reconcile with the German government.
At this time, China was already as high as the United States after the end of the Cold War.
