Chapter 242: Radical Democracy

The second more

The sudden assassination made everyone present panic.

The guards, who were still thinking they were at ease, were deeply shocked by the explosion.

The guards hurriedly stopped the carriage from advancing, and the force of the explosion caused the horses to break free of their reins, leaving the overturned carriage and driving away. The guards quickly approached the Tsar's carriage, trying to rescue the new Tsar who was still in his cage.

Then the second, and third bombs fell in front of the Tsar's carriage, and before the guards who had just rushed up could dodge, they felt the scorching burning gas rushing towards their faces, and they were directly overturned by the blast of air. The guards who landed in front of the bomb were directly torn apart by the powerful impact.

The scene was a bloody scene, and the citizens of the vicinity scattered screaming, but the loyal guards belonging to Alexander III were still not afraid of any attack, and firmly approached in the direction of the trapped carriage.

Alexander II, who was still hiding in the carriage at this time, did not suffer much damage, and the impact of the carriage overturning knocked his head into his seat, and the whole person was dizzy, but he could faintly hear the screams and shouts of the crowd in his ears, mixed with various gunshots and explosions, hitting his eardrums.

"I can't die...... I can't...... Die. ”

There was only one thought in the mind of Alexander III, and he did not dare to climb out of the carriage, which was thickly defended. Ordinary bomb throwing can't hurt yourself at all.

At this time, many images flashed through Alexander III's mind. The emotions in my heart are also very complex, there is remorse, there is disappointment, and more is anger. Anger at the radicals, and anger at the betrayers of the Russian court. His father had made a lot of concessions, so why were these populists still unwilling to let the Tsar go, and did they have to wait until the Tsar was killed in the audience before they were satisfied?

"I'm going to kill...... of them. ”

"Kill them all......"

Alexander III had only one thought in his mind at this time, to kill all those bastards!

Fourth, fifth, the bomb fell at the feet of Alexander III, but God eventually favored the Orthodox Orthodox, and the bomb did not explode in front of the carriage, and when the fuse burned out, it went silent.

The mute fire of these two bombs successfully saved the life of Alexander III.

The men who were lying in ambush on both sides of the road rushed out and opened fire on the convoy, but once the bombs were gone, the Tsar's convoy showed the temperament of a bear, and charged forward with their pistols drawn. Knock those guys who are hiding in the corners of the streets and alleys and put cold guns to the ground!

Those who had not received formal military training were vulnerable to the elite of the Guards.

The man hiding in the pavilion realized that something was wrong, and at this moment a young man named Alexander Ulyanov rushed in, the youngest of whom was acting as a sentry for the wind, and when he saw soldiers approaching the place, he hurriedly told the people in the room to evacuate from here.

Although some are unwilling, they have no choice, they can only wait for the next opportunity to do it again.

When people went to the empty room, they left only a few footprints of leather shoes.

At this time, all that remained on the street was a fragmented corpse. The guards hurriedly rushed forward, intending to rescue the Tsar who was trapped in the carriage, but the Tsar had fallen into a coma by this time, and the guards lifted him up and rushed him to the nearest St. Petersburg hospital.

After hearing that the Tsar had been attacked, Prime Minister Gochakov rushed to the hospital. This is the last thing he wants to see, the previous tsar has just been assassinated and attacked, and the new tsar has been bombed, which is simply a nightmare for the Russian royal family.

Gochakov was derelict in this matter, he originally thought that after the whole city was strengthened, this kind of thing would not happen, but he didn't expect an accident to come unexpectedly.

At this time, Maria Fiodorovna was standing outside the ward, looking at the envoy who had arrived in a hurry with a gloomy face. When he saw Gochakov's figure, the gloom on his face became a little heavier.

"This is my rereliction of duty."

When Gochakov saw Empress Maria's face, he immediately apologized and said, "If I hadn't asked His Majesty the Tsar to go to the Winter Palace, such a thing would not have happened." It was my mistakes that made us where we are. But we are already making arrests, and those who kill the monarch will not escape the law. ”

Mary pursed her lips, she had no words. Then he directly raised his slap and slapped it hard in Gochakov's face.

Syllable.

There was a crisp sound in the hospital, and the other ministers and counts looked at the angry Maria and the innocent-looking Gochakov with embarrassed expressions.

However, Gochakov did not show any irritation, he just whispered, "Queen Maria, anger is of no avail. The priority was to catch the bastards who tried to assassinate the Tsar. And they were all hanged in front of the whole country. This is what deters the thugs who are eager to try. ”

When Gochakov was most flustered, he still kept a cool head and made the most rational judgment.

He doesn't care whose son the other party is, whose father it is, and anyone who dares to offend the monarch should eventually die under the sanction of justice.

"The assassins have not yet escaped from St. Petersburg, and now that we have issued a city-wide martial law order, they will soon be brought to justice and judged justly. Queen, are you satisfied with this verdict? ”

Gochakov cautiously tested the other party's attitude, and although he knew that his position was in jeopardy, he still tried to make amends and redeem himself.

"It's none of my business what you do, I'm not interested in listening to it, and I'm not interested in paying attention."

Queen Mary's pale face was not covered with blood. She tried her best to restrain the anger in her heart, and in the assassination just now, she almost lost her husband, and everything.

"But the next time you dare to put my husband in danger, I will not spare you ministers. Gochakov, you'd better remember this phrase too. Alexander II is dead, and no one will be able to save your life. The Russian Empire could not afford to lose two tsars in a short time! Got it? ”

Mary turned her head again and said to the others, "If anyone doesn't understand, I'll cut him first!" ”

Gochakov lowered his head, he knew that Empress Maria was not joking, and he knew very well what would happen to the entire royal family if they lost two tsarist successors in a row.

At this moment, a sound broke the silence of the corridor, and the people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs hurried into the hospital, walked through the corridor and walked in front of Gochakov, who waved his hands breathlessly, as if he had something to say to Prime Minister Gochakov.

Maria realized that she was not fit to listen to the ministers' deliberations, and walked away dissatisfied. Before leaving, she glared at Gochakov fiercely.

A woman's resentment as a wife is self-evident, and it is contained in a deep gaze. Gochakov subconsciously avoided the empress's gaze and focused his attention on the foreign ministry personnel who came.

"What's wrong?"

Just reprimanded by the empress, Gochakov was in a bad mood, and his tone was a little impatient. "What happened?" What's wrong with the French delegation? ”

"No, no, Prime Minister Gochakov, the French Foreign Minister has arrived, but now something is wrong. They are not willing to accept our ad hoc arrangements. ”

"What does it mean to be reluctant to accept temporary arrangements?"

Gochakov's mind is messed up enough, and now the French are going to add to the chaos.

"When he heard about the assassination of Alexander III, he questioned that he wanted to meet you, that is, he wanted to meet you now." ”

"Now? At this time? ”

Gochakov did not understand why the other party had to pick at this moment. Don't you see that the Winter Palace is all in chaos?

Go on the scamp? Still is......

Many thoughts flashed through Gochakov's mind, but they were all rejected by the other party one by one.

And what the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said next made Gochakov frown.

The meeting had to be taken over while the Tsar was unconscious.

"Yes, now, the other side is still saying that there is something important to discuss with Prime Minister Gochakov, and it is also related to the safety of the tsar. He said the French government was an expert in dealing with similar incidents and that they were able to solve the problem of frequent assassinations once and for all. ”
