"General Korninov, today will be the last opportunity. You have two options: bury a decaying government and create a new one, or bury the decaying dynasty. There was not much time left, the German High Seas Fleet had already reached the sea off Tallinn, and in the south, the German Army from Riga was fighting Kolchak's troops, and from the west, under the attack of the German Navy and Army, it was only a matter of time before Tallinn fell. It is only a matter of time before the crown of the Normanov dynasty falls, and for the sake of our country, and for ourselves and our families, we should do something before the Germans come in and make those nobles scapegoats! Let's build a new nation. Prince Lvov said.

"And then go around the command knives of the Germans? And at the same time send a lot of reparations and land to gain the understanding of the Germans? This is treason! Korninov stared at the man in front of him like a ferocious lion, as if he would tear him to pieces at any moment.

"Russia has been teased and used by the British for almost a hundred years, who used us to fend off Napoleon, but then together with Napoleon's nephew, they blocked our expansion on the Black Sea coast. We wanted a real ice-free port in the Far East, and the British, together with the Chinese, wiped out our entire navy and lost us a large part of our territory. After the most throws us a push of the pound, give orders to the great Russian nation, let us encircle the interests of the British Empire with our own blood! We independently fended off the armies of the German, Austrian, and Turkish countries on the Eastern Front, while they had nothing to do on the Western Front! They put us on consumables at the beginning. A consumable that can bring down Germany! Only this time we were unlucky, the Germans were not Napoleon, we did not drag down the enemy. But too much power has been consumed! Li Wufu said fairly.

"Russia's most glorious time was in the mid-19th century, when we were the gendarmes of Europe. Great Russia does not have to look at anyone's face to act. And during the subsequent period of the Three Emperors Alliance, Russia received tangible security guarantees. Three great nations together cannot be shaken by any force! If this treaty can continue, we will not lose Vladivostok, at least in the Far East. By now, Russia has lost too many opportunities and benefits because of Nikolai's wrong decision, and our task is to change this situation. Of course, a certain amount of loss must be bearable. But at least it's better than continuing to fight. If the moment really comes to collapse, I am afraid that Germany and China will divide Russia from the east and west. We have nothing left after the worst. Prince Lvov looked at the uncertain Korninov and said.

"That is, now to Germany. We've got some left, right? Korninov's eyes were full of mockery. It was cruel, but it was a reality, and we couldn't beat the Germans and Austrians. Even if the whole country is mobilized, it will not work. The army is already war-weary. It can't be replenished in the later stage. It's ridiculous that Denikin still wants to rely on the meager supplies of China to resist a country, it's ridiculous! Huaxia wanted to weaken both Russia and Germany through this war. And then reap the benefits from the collapse of Russia! Kornikov muttered incessantly.

"What are the demands of the Germans? What do we have to lose? What will you get? A few minutes later. Kornikov, who vented a call, asked. Tsarist Russia is already crumbling, and he is naturally reluctant to bury the Normanov dynasty after seeing the situation clearly, but some things are better explained first.

"The Baltic side will be based on the Line of Actual Control between the two sides, and Russian Poland and Ukraine will be divided or independent. There are also Ardahan, Dales, Batumi regions. Finland will also become independent. Then there are some reparations and supplies. Detailed discussions are ongoing. Prince Lvov said.

"What a generous attitude!" The anger and mockery in Kornikov's words were unabashedly expressed. "And what do we get?"

"Guarantees of our support and the security of the country. The rest of our territory will no longer be taken by anyone, including Huaxia in the east! Compared with Germany, which had to deal with the Entente, I always thought that China, which had been dormant for more than ten years, was even more terrifying! Prince Li Wov said solemnly.

"The Tsar's elite has been transferred to the front, and the remaining miscellaneous fish have little combat effectiveness, as long as we can control Petrograd in a short time. After opening the arsenal, we can also arm a large number of troops. The Germans will help us to wipe out the Normanov lackeys once and for all. But there are a few things we need to do before that. Seeing that the other party had almost accepted his own opinion, Prince Levov began to discuss with the other party the specific steps of action.

"Protect the two Izmail-class battleships in the shipyard that are being outfitted. There are also related accessories and facilities. And the shipbuilders, we have to make the whole shipyard still functioning after the incident. By the way, there are enough guards left behind in case they are destroyed by some hostile elements. Prince Lvov deliberately emphasized.

"Russia doesn't need a navy now, and it won't need it for a long time to come, so why do we have to let these two gold-swallowing beasts build? Was it intended as a floating battery for the defense of St. Petersburg? Kornikov asked with some doubts, these two battleships are really almost finished, and it is really a pity to throw them away, but in extraordinary times, every ruble must be used in the right place. So Kornikov preferred to put them at the shipyard rather than continue to finish.

"We can exchange it for more than 50,000 prisoners of war and a lot of weapons and ammunition! The Germans said that as long as the two warships and the ammunition and supplies attached to them could be safely handed over to the Germans, then they could provide us with some prisoners of war and weapons in advance, and it was a very good deal. The Germans would organize convoys of convoys to arrive in St. Petersburg directly from the Gulf of Finland. Of course, we also need to buy some Russian naval officers and sailors to operate this battleship, as far as I know, some of the officers and men who were originally intended to be assigned to these two giant ships were not transferred to the Tallinn front, they are still in the shipyard, find them, and control them! Prince Lvov said.

"What about Essen? If something happens at the shipyard, Essen will definitely get the news that if he abandons Tallinn and sails back, my troops will not be able to stop the attack of the 14-inch guns. He would have completely destroyed the entire shipyard and everything that could be reached by the guns of the ship. If he is accompanied by the Marines, our situation will be very dangerous if they are on the Emperor's side. Kornikov voiced his concerns.

"Essen? He won't live long, the German High Seas Fleet has already completed the blockade of the Tallinn region from the sea, even if Essen wants to break through now, it will be too late, they will be torn to pieces by the powerful High Seas Fleet, you know, this time the Germans sent a whole 14 super dreadnoughts! All the super dreadnoughts are here, and Essen doesn't even have a chance! Prince Lvov said.

"I'm relieved, in addition, the German Army must be guaranteed to contain Kolchak's troops, his troops are still very combative, what to do with Nicholas II? This is a tricky question. Kornikov was convinced that since the safety of the sea could be guaranteed, the only thing that could make him jealous was Kolchak's troops.

"Don't worry, Kolchak's troops have not received aid from Huaxia for a long time, most of the supplies have been provided to Denikin, and now he is a toothless tiger without fear, and there are those factory owners and bankers standing behind us, who will provide us with a lot of money. We still have prisoners of war and weapons returned by the Germans, and I really can't think of any more force that can stop us from succeeding. ”

"Another thing is that we have to find the government's gold, which Nicholas II almost emptied to pay for the purchase of weapons from Huaxia, but not all of this gold went to Huaxia. The new government needs this gold. Prince Lvov emphasized.

"Damn, even you don't know where the gold is, how can I, a soldier, know the gold?" Although he said so, the importance of this matter still made him have to pay attention to it, after all, during the war, rubles are no different from waste paper, and only real money has real purchasing power and can be recognized. "I'll look for it, and hopefully the gold is still in Russia."

While Princes Lvov and Kornikov were plotting a mutiny, careerists with the same goals in other parts of Russia were buying troops and expanding their wings. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Tsar's rule is about to fall under the domestic and external difficulties. Ordinary civilians are powerless to change this reality, they can only be used as cannon fodder as tools. Some people in the upper echelons and those with the army in their hands are planning to take advantage of this opportunity to seek greater benefits. Even if the strength they had to rely on was Germany, the country that attacked them and ultimately pushed them to a dead end. But they can still make excuses for themselves! For example, to save the country or something.

At this time, the last troops loyal to the Tsar were still on the front line against the German attack. The toughest of these forces are being used to defend Tallinn, but with the German Navy and land forces increasingly breaking down, the Russian forces near the Tallinn Line are about to come to an end. One of the last main fleets of the Tsarist era was forced to make a choice: to rush out of the harbor and be killed, or crouch in the harbor and be killed.

"What? The St. Petersburg shipyard and the naval shipyard have not been destroyed yet? The mine-laying operation in the port is not yet complete? They are treason! Enraged, Essen slammed his pipe on the table, breaking it in two. The purpose of holding Tallinn was to give the rear time to completely destroy these factories, and now, with the Germans gradually opening up the Gulf of Finland and encircling themselves in Tallinn, the opposing fleet is likely to move directly east to St. Petersburg. It's almost too late!
