Nine hundred and ninety-nine. The position of the Grand Duke
With the fall of Grand Duke Belstoka, there was a huge vacuum of power in Russia.
Many people are eyeing this position, and these people know very well that they will not be able to compete with Milosevic and Khmelitsky on their own.
The two men were supported by the commander of the Moscow garrison, Duyoshenko, the tycoon Migrosky, and reportedly by other occult forces.
Moreover, they were also the sons-in-law of the former Grand Duke Gregory. From the traditional concept of the Russians, they are still qualified to succeed to this position.
And Milosevic and Khmelitsky have long regarded the position of Grand Duke as their own. The only question is which of the two of them can compete with each other.
At this time, Baron Alexon's support became a vital force......
The baron's attitude seemed to be somewhat ambiguous, he did not clearly state his attitude, but only told them that he would make the right choice at the right time to do their best.
This kind of ambiguous answer is often the most difficult to guess......
If you think about it more carefully, it is very strange that a German must be consulted for a very strange thing, an internal matter in Russia. But at this point, Milosevic and Khmelitsky no longer had the time to think about it......
When the baron's attitude was uncertain, the two Gregorian sons-in-law quickly began to act.
They know how to earn trust points for themselves. What do Russians hate the most? It was the former Grand Duke of Belstoka Gregory and his corrupt accomplices who had to thoroughly investigate their crimes. in order to be able to gain the support of the majority of Russians.
The most murderous people are sometimes the people around them, and in this regard, Milosevic and Khmelitsky are vividly displayed.
They first set up a special tribunal quickly. A wanted warrant was issued for the fugitive, and then, at their instigation, Gregory was sentenced to death in absentia on 26 counts of "treason, embezzlement, abuse of power."
But is this the end? No, this is just the beginning......
The Special Investigative Committee announced that all of Gregory's property on the territory of Russia had been seized. Without exception, his accomplices were tried and wanted. With the exception of Gregory's relatives, who were loyal to Baron Alexon, the rest of his relatives were arrested.
These were all relatives of Milosevic and Khmelitsky, but in order to leave a good impression on the Russian people. They don't care about it anymore.
The arrested relatives were subjected to harsh trials and even torture. The end result is the people who are arrested. pleaded guilty to a false charge. A large number of "co-defendants" were confessed.
A purge on a scale no less than that of the former Soviet Union began...... More and more people have been arrested. Many people have been sentenced or even shot for various crimes when the evidence is simply insufficient.
Milosevic and Khmelitsky took advantage of this opportunity to not only eliminate a large number of enemies, but also greatly enrich their own pockets. You must know that a large part of the property confiscated by those "criminals" fell into their pockets.
As Wang Weiyi said before, they are actually no different from Gregory......
Not only that, but as power grew, Milosevic and Khmelitsky became more and more emboldened, and they actually turned their brains to the former Grand Duchess Solkina.
In their opinion. Although Gregory was ruthlessly stripped of everything by the baron, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse. Gregory must have some secret possessions. And the only one who knows the whereabouts of these properties is probably Sorkina.
They still have some scruples about Solkina, because it is Baron Alexon who is behind her, but as the greed becomes more and more intense, they begin to hallucinate that the baron still needs them, and the baron has women around him, and he will not give them face because of a woman.
People are always like this, and greedy desires can always drown out normal reason......
The irascible Milosevic was the first to hold back, and he finally couldn't help but "visit" Solkina.
At first, he was still able to restrain himself, and only vaguely asked if Gregory had any property hidden and not reported, hoping that Solkina would report it truthfully, and that he would have an explanation with the Special Investigation Committee, otherwise if it was found out, even Solkina would be in big trouble.
But Solkina answered very simply no, all the property has been lost in the United States.
Milosevic's face changed, and he looked at Solkina's house: "You still live in such a spacious house, live such a luxurious life, do you know what all this is for?" Because I'm trying to protect you. But if you don't want to tell me the truth, I don't know what terrible things can happen to you. Maybe tomorrow the Special Investigation Member's direct squad will burst into your house and expel you or even arrest you! ”
"Really?" At this moment, a voice sounded behind Milosevic, and when he heard this voice, his complexion changed greatly, and he hurriedly stood up and turned around: "Your Excellency, why are you here?" ”
"yes, how did I get here." Wang Weiyi smiled: "This is Moscow, and I am your enemy, I think you may be able to arrest me?" ”
"Ah, no, Mr. Baron, you are so good at joking, how dare I do such crazy things?" Milosevic said with a dry smile.
Wang Weiyi sneered: "Yes, never do crazy things that you don't want to do...... I just noticed what you said, 'You are still living in such a spacious house, living such a luxurious life, do you know what you are doing all this for?' Because I'm trying to protect you. But if you don't want to be honest with me. I don't know what terrible things are going to happen to the road.'" It's strange that you gave all this to the Grand Duchess? Mr. Milosevic, tell me. Who gave all this? ”
"It's you, Mr. Baron." Milosevic's arrogance was completely knocked out.
"Yes, it's me." Wang Weiyi did not deny it at all: "I gave all these things to the Grand Duchess, and all these things of yours are also given by me." Mr. Milosevic, I remember telling you that I can give you everything and I can deprive you of everything. It's exactly the same as Gregory......"
Milosevic couldn't help but shudder...... The fact that Gregory was bloody is right in front of you......
"I'm sorry, Mr. Baron, I shouldn't have come here so presumptuously......" Milosevic knew that he had left a very bad impression on the Baron. He hurriedly tried to redeem himself: "Grand Duchess, I am also very sorry, please forgive me for my faux pas no matter what......"
"In terms of seniority, the Grand Duchess should be your mother......" Wang Weiyi's tone was a little sarcastic: "No child dares to speak to his mother like this...... Mr. Milosevic. I can forgive you this time. But I don't want to see a next time. There is one more thing, on which Mr. Khmelitsky has handled it better than you. He just met me, reaffirmed his loyalty to me, and told me you might be here. Milosevic, I didn't believe it before, but now everything I see ...... You've really disappointed me......"
Damn Khmelitsky...... Milosevic couldn't help but curse in his heart......
It seems that Khmelitsky is trying his best to curry favor with the baron, but today he has arrived. But it was Khmelitsky who instigated it behind his back, and as a result. He became a weapon to be used by him.
Milosevic vowed not to make him feel better......
"Instead of focusing on this, let's think about how to deal with the upcoming defense of Moscow." Wang Weiyi suddenly said inexplicably: "I think that the powerful German army and the combined army of Ukraine will arrive soon." ”
Milosevic was confused. According to normal thinking, when Gregory was eliminated, the German and Ukrainian troops should have stopped attacking, and this was just a matter of giving the order of His Excellency the Baron. But now listening to the baron's words, the German-Ukrainian army has no intention of stopping the offensive at all.
He snorted, "Baron, Moscow cannot stop the attack of the German army...... I thought, I thought, maybe you could give your men an order to stop attacking......"
"Yes, I can give such an order, but why should I do it?" Wang Weiyi smiled faintly: "This gift, I am going to give it to the new Russian Grand Duke, which will allow him to quickly accumulate his prestige, but before the new Grand Duke is not produced, I guarantee that the German-Ukrainian coalition will not stop attacking even a step." ”
Milosevic was stunned for a moment, and soon understood what the baron meant.
At this time, hope rose again in his heart, judging from the baron's attitude, he still trusted himself, otherwise, he would never have told himself such important information.
He quickly decided: "Monsieur Baron, I know what to do. I think it's time for me to get down to business, and once again I'm sorry for what happened today, and I promise it will never happen again! ”
After saying that, he hurried out of the city......
"Dear baron, this is a wolf!" Sorkina said with fear: "He is as greedy and fierce as Gregory. Ruthless, you can't trust him at all, sooner or later he will become another ...... of the Grand Duke of Belstoka"
"I know that no one knows him and Khmelitsky better than I do......" Wang Weiyi smiled without any worry: "But the wolf also wants its benefits, right?" If Milosevic is a ferocious wolf, then Khmelitsky is a fox. Solkina, do you say that the wolf can bite the fox to death, or the fox can bite the wolf? ”
Solkina was also a wise woman, and she immediately understood what the baron meant, and tilted her head and thought for a while: "I think." The last victor must be the fox. ”
But Wang Weiyi shook his head.
"Is it a wolf?" Solkina was a little strange: "But the fox's cunning is not comparable to that of a wolf......"
"None of them are going to be victors." Wang Weiyi's smile became brighter: "The final winner can only be the hunter." No matter how good a beast is, it's no match for a hunter, is it? ”
"Yes, no beast is a match for a hunter...... "Sorkina laughed.
Right now. She felt that it was the greatest luck of her life to meet Baron Alexon, who had helped her escape the nightmare and who was protecting her like a guardian angel.
Whether it's a wolf or a fox, they actually have only one end in the end:
Be a hunter's trophy or be killed by a hunter......
......
And at this time, Milosevic knew what he should do.
He had to admit that he was inferior to Khmelitsky in all respects.
Khmelitsky was a cunning fellow, and even when he was unsuccessful, he made friends with a large number of powerful people. And once he got to where he is today, those old friendships quickly began to take effect.
And what about yourself? I'm always so impatient and impulsive, and I'm always so taken advantage of. It's the same as rushing to Solkina's house this time.
Oh damn Khmelitsky, Milosevic cursed again......
Fortunately, he still has some allies, such as Andreas and Similov.
Andreas was a quick changer. He pledged his life by betraying Gregory. But it was inevitable that they would lose their status and property. And Milosevic felt that this man was still somewhat useful, so he simply took him into his own home.
As for Simirov, after also betraying Gregory, he also lost his post as captain of the guard and had to defect to Milosevic.
Now, both men have become Milosevic's henchmen......
He told them what had happened, and Andreas frowned: "So it seems that Khmelitsky deliberately set a trap. Then just wait for you to jump in on your own, and the situation is already very bad for you. OK. That mysterious friend of yours reminded you in time, otherwise we'd not even know how to die, to put it mildly. ”
An angry look flashed through Milosevic's eyes. But he then forced himself to calm down: "Minister Andreas, what do you think we should do now?" ”
"We're not in a very good place." Andreas groaned: "To be honest, Khmelitsky's strength is stronger than ours, and we are not his opponent if we fight head-on, so we must find another way." ”
Speaking of this, he seemed a little hesitant: "During the period of Nicholas II, Russia produced a great prime minister, Stolypin, who made Russia strong again, Stolypin became prime minister at a time when the Romanov dynasty was about to collapse completely, and what he was committed to was nothing more than to save a system that was about to perish, and the inevitable requirements of history and the strong will of outstanding individuals formed a strong contradictory contrast, and it was this that cast the core of Stolypin's personal tragic fate. In addition to his ability and ability, one of the main reasons why Stolypin was able to rise from a lower administrative position to the status of a supreme minister was his loyalty to the royal family, and during his five and a half years in office, he was assassinated by terrorists no less than dozens of times, and in 1906 alone, his daughter Nadasha was disabled, his only son was injured, and dozens of people were killed and wounded, but he did not change his original intention. In the end, the tsar stepped forward and allowed his family to live in the Kremlin temporarily. In 1911, Stolypin traveled to Kiev despite police warnings about the assassination plan. On September 14th, when Stolypin and the emperor's two daughters, Grand Duchess Olega and Grand Duke Tatyana, watched the Russian composer Nikolai at the Kiev Opera House. Andreevich. Rimsky-Korsakov's opera The Tale of King Satan was shot at by Assassins. Stolypin was shot twice, one in the arm and the other in the chest. The assassin's name is Dmitry. Boglov, a radical left-wing revolutionary, but at the same time he was actually a spy of the Security Service......"
Speaking of this, he glanced at Milosevic: "Stolypin allegedly calmly got up from his chair, took off his gloves and unbuttoned his jacket, revealing his blood-soaked vest. After motioning for the Emperor to withdraw from his box to safety, Stolypin slumped into his chair and shouted: 'I am glad to die for your Majesty!' Nicholas II remained in place, and Stolypin, despite being seriously wounded, still exaggerated the blessing of the cross for the emperor. Early the next morning, Nicholas II knelt in front of Stolypin's hospital bed and repeated 'forgive me'. Stolypin died four days after being shot. Stolypin had finally completed the last part of his life. His last words to the world were: 'Turn on the lights!' 'The electric light is on, but Russia is plunged into a long darkness......"
Milosevic fully understood what the other party meant: "Do you mean to make Khmelitsky the next Stolypin?" ”
"No, he doesn't deserve to be Stolypin, and Russia won't be plunged into darkness if he dies." Andreas said coldly: "Because, there will be a new Grand Duke in Russia!" ”
Milosevic became happy, but then hesitated: "But we need a strong assassin to be able to complete this mission!" (To be continued......)
