"For 20 years, Russia has been hit by natural disasters and wars, but fortunately the Romanov gods have blessed it and survived. However, since the beginning of the war, the land of the country has been ravaged by the enemy; At this time, civil strife broke out again, the future of the war became more and more dangerous, and the fortunes of the dynasty became more and more lonely. The business dropped out of Tu, and the people were exposed in the wilderness. Lonely appearance of the general trend, internal review of public opinion, when knowing the likes and dislikes of the people, far more than the honor of a surname. Therefore, I am willing to obey the resolution of the Duma, absolve the emperor, and dismiss the commander-in-chief, so as to comfort the hearts of all the people who are tired of chaos and hope for governance, and encourage unity to build the vision of Russia. ”

"Crown Prince Alexey? Romanov, who was not yet ten years old and was ill, was determined to save the country, but he had no vision to govern the world. Brother-in-law Mikhail? The Romanovs, benevolent and shrewd, worthy of being the king of the empire. Jingu ceded the throne to Grand Duke Mikhail, negotiated with the military and the people on a good strategy to calm the situation, and the peace of Haiyu in the general period. The fortunes of Russia, the glory of the army, and the happiness of the people are now determined by the hands of all; Be alone, behold the Holy Spirit and pray for the things to come. ”

On February 10, 1914, Nicholas II's abdication announcement swept the world like a hurricane in a very short time; Everyone was stunned when they heard the news, and they completely forgot about the camp they were in. The Russian Empire, once the most terrifying war plane on the European continent and regarded by all the world as a behemoth, has undergone such earth-shattering and drastic changes: although the world had seen the power of the Russian Revolution in 1905, it is unbelievable that the Tsar was now forced to abdicate under the insurrection of revolutionaries!

In Germany, delighted people gather in beer halls and cafés. There was a lively discussion about the future of the war: unlike the many news of victories on the battlefield that had preceded it. This time hung over Germany's head for decades, the sword of Damoris, which had been fought on two fronts. Finally, in essence, there is a surprise prospect that will shake away. If the newly elected Russian government decides to withdraw from the war, then a real victory will follow! The German government was also in a state of relentless observation of the unrest in Russia: the German leadership, including Wilhelm himself, was outraged by the pro-French policies pursued by Nikolai's rule. Now that he had left the political core of Russia, it was undoubtedly a good thing for Germany.

In contrast to the optimism of the Allies, Britain and France were as if they had been hit hard in the head. In their plans, Russia was undoubtedly a vital force against the German-Austrian alliance; With the collapse of the French Army before the war by the "desperate attack" that was enshrined as an artifact, and the Royal Navy, which had dominated the sea for more than 300 years, fell overnight, the British and French were destroyed in their respective trump cards. Russia was seen as the only savior of the Entente bloc's victory. When the news of the unrest in the Russian capital came, they also counted on the Tsar to quickly calm the situation in the country and resume the war against Germany and Austria; However, today, they found that they had lost their normalcy!

At the urging of the flaming telegrams from London and Bordeaux, the British and French ambassadors to Russia began to travel around the city of St. Petersburg: they constantly visited the various factions that might hold great power in the new Russian government, wrote each other a lot of empty promises that could not be realized until after the war, and tried their best to persuade the new government to fulfill its obligations to the Entente, and never to abandon Britain and France and make peace with Germany and Austria alone. However, at this time, Russia was not as calm as they imagined because of the Tsar's abdication edict; On the contrary, because of Nikolai's abdication, he fell into an unprecedented state of chaos and stalemate.

For the Duma, headed by the Constitutional Democratic Party and the Social Revolutionaries. The revolution has succeeded. They were able to rise up in the revolt of the workers and soldiers at the bottom, and in one fell swoop took the power of the state from the Tsar, which they had worked so hard for decades. They intended to emulate the British and Austro-Hungarian constitutional monarchies. Share the cake of state power with the king. The Bolsheviks, on the other hand, strongly opposed this. In their eyes, the bourgeoisie also oppressed the reactionary elements, including the workers and the masses at the bottom, before the revolution: they did much to exploit the surplus value of the workers and hoard goods and raise prices in times of crisis. However, it was these parasites, who also rode on the heads of the working people, who became involved in the revolution after it was launched, and became the biggest profiteers from the overthrow of the current government!

In the course of the previous revolution, in order to overthrow the current Tsar, the Bolsheviks had to cooperate with the bourgeoisie, who had a significant position in Russia, and acquiesced in the fact that they had picked the peach fruit from the trees they had planted. However, after the tsar's abdication, the contradiction between the two sides that they could not urinate in a pot was completely highlighted. The Bolsheviks were resolutely opposed to an English-style constitutional monarchy, and made the abolition of tsarism their bottom line: what are you kidding, if the result of this revolution is simply a change of tsar, and the bourgeoisie, who are also bloodsampires, take power, then what are we, the workers and ordinary soldiers, who are leading the revolution?

For several days, the chaos in Russia continued to grow, and instead of going to the front to fend off the Allied troops, the workers and soldiers armed with guns marched through the major cities, declaring that they would never accept the command of a new tsar. With the Bolsheviks in control of the army, the Duma class, led by the Constitutional Democrats, was forced to back down and announced that they would form a coalition government with the Bolsheviks and abolish the Tsar's autocratic rule. The Romanov dynasty, which lasted for more than 300 years, collapsed. Seeing that the two sides had finally reached a relative agreement, the British and French ambassadors hurriedly came to the door; From the Constitutional Democrats to the Social Revolutionaries to the Bolsheviks, no one in the potential real power will be spared.

"Mr. Kuzov, those impudent bourgeoisie are having a good time with the English and the French, and they are so excited at the sight of the word Constantinople that they forget what is the present situation in Russia!" Ulyanov, a middle-aged man with a small stature and a stiff hair loss on his head, in the newly renovated headquarters of the Bolshevik Party in St. Petersburg, is telling the man in front of him about the current situation. He looked excited, and his contempt and resentment against these "comrades-in-arms" could no longer be concealed in his words: "Now that your country's army has turned Crimea into an island, what else can we use to win the war and obtain this completely empty post-war guarantee of Britain and France?" For the sake of the ambitions of these crows and vultures, the lives of millions more Russian workers and peasants will be sacrificed, and we Bolsheviks will never agree to it! ”

Kuzov smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Ulyanov, we really didn't choose the wrong person. Only the workers' party you lead can truly appreciate the pain of the Russian people being tortured in the war. And what about the Duma deputies, who from the very beginning were the criminal bloodsuckers who parasitized the Russian workers' and peasants' soldiers; In this war, I don't know how many Russian people's blood and corpses were used to build the evil empire that they enjoyed to their heart's content! What they are prepared to do now is the same policy that they have been pursuing until then to be the enemy of the people. The brave Russian workers and soldiers could not accept and tolerate the outcome of such a war, which was the same as that of the previous tsars, right? ”

Hearing these words, a bright glint suddenly flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes. He stared at the familiar face in front of him who was escorting himself back to St. Petersburg, and said slowly: "Mr. Kuzov, do you mean to let me launch another revolution and wipe out all these bourgeois forces in the armed insurrection?" ”

"Actually, Mr. Ulyanov, this is also the final wish of our Government for you. We must not tolerate a Russian Government hostile to Germany, which can only be an eternal ode to peace on the plains of Eastern Europe. Kuzov continued to maintain the smile on his face, but there was a sharp look in his eyes slowly flowing, "What's more, the overthrow of these elites should also be a matter of great benefit to the Bolshevik Party you lead." The solitary exercise of state power and the sharing of it with each other in never-ending parliamentary squabbles are clearly two very different outcomes. Your party is now supported by the workers and a large number of soldiers at the bottom, and it is time to punish these speculators who have earned nothing in the revolution! If it were to wait until the Cadets had won the support of the military, it would have been difficult for you to get to where you are today. ”

The middle-aged man nodded, and a fiery torrent welled up in his heart. As the person in front of him said, the prestige of the Bolshevik Party, which had now launched the revolution, was unprecedentedly high in the hearts of the Russian people, and a large number of troops had obeyed the orders of the Bolsheviks: to be honest, the middle-aged men were naturally reluctant to share power with the Duma class in such a situation. Before, he had been thinking about how to get along with these bourgeoisie, but now, Kuzov's words made him make up his mind!

"The fate of the vast majority of the Russian people is in their own hands, and they will not tolerate any betrayal. As long as those bourgeoisie dare to declare that they will continue to fight against your country, I, the Bolsheviks, will be the first to let them go! The middle-aged man smiled at the corner of his mouth and said, "During this period, the Bolsheviks will try to minimize their voices in foreign decision-making, so that the bourgeoisie can communicate with the British and French ambassadors without any worries." I promise that their filthy souls will soon be judged by the people. (To be continued......)
