Chapter 683: Dynamics of Tsarist Russia
In the face of Rasputin's aggressive attitude, the girl only shook her head and sighed: "You are hopeless, it seems that starting a war is your next move." ”
"No, it's not a war, it's a national strategy, it's a national policy. War is only an extension of politics, and there will be no war now, at least until the right time. ”
"The right time."
The girl sneered a few times and said, "...... You are waiting for you to get rid of the last forces in this country that stand in your way, such as Miloslavsky, who leads the great treasury, or the forces of the old imperial courtiers, and the bishops within the Orthodox Church who oppose your appointment as the Patriarch, as long as these people are disposed of by you, and no one will be able to hinder your actions in the whole territory of Russia. ”
"It seems that His Highness has a deep misunderstanding of me, but for His Highness's words, my only defense Rasputin is the sentence just now - you think too much!"
Rasputin said unhurriedly: "Your Highness, you are still too young, and when you hear some rumors outside, you will doubt my Rasputin's fierce loyalty, alas, what a pity, at this point, although His Royal Highness Alexei is young, he is much more sensible at this point." ”
Hearing her brother's name, the Tsaress's gaze darkened a little.
"You, where did you hide my brother?"
"Hehe, His Highness Alexei is in a safe place, please rest assured, under the protection of my manpower, he will not be harmed in any way."
The girl bit her lip, this man really had the face to say it, obviously for that child, the biggest threat was his own existence.
“…… Honestly, Rasputin, I'm grateful that you saved me. At a time when my brother and I were at our most embarrassed and dangerous, I was glad to be able to show you up again. ”
Thinking of the days and nights of panic and fear that she escaped from the Tsar's Villa, the girl's heart throbbed, and she and her young brother Alexei lived in the streets for a very difficult time.
Fortunately, she and her brother Alex were rescued by Rasputin. Thus getting out of the predicament, she returned to the palace in St. Petersburg, and Anastasia also received the huge support of Rasputin, and in one fell swoop, she eliminated the resistance of the great nobles and became the female tsar of the Tsarist Russian Empire.
"But step by step, you are leading the country to the brink of destruction."
Gratitude is a matter of time, but as the last descendant of the Romanov dynasty, the girl can feel that this man brings not hope, but disillusionment.
"Wrong. I, Rasputin, am loyal to the Empire, and the only thing I want is for the Romanov dynasty to be strong, after all, it is the only hope for Russia. ”
The man said flatly: "Your Highness, why do you keep being hostile to me, I have never wanted to hurt you and His Highness Alexei, I just want to protect you from other forces, don't forget who has been trying to kidnap that young Highness." ”
Originally. In the eyes of many ministers and nobles in the court, the best goal to become a tsar is naturally the young prince Alex. If it is a little prince, he can become a powerful minister in the court, a plaything in the hands of the big nobles, and become their manipulative puppet.
However, Rasputin uncharacteristically supported the fourth Grand Duchess Anastasia to ascend to the throne of Tsar.
In the process, I don't know how much bloodshed, but Rasputin relied on an indescribable amazing skill. Resolve the crisis step by step, and finally bulldoze all obstacles and send Anastasia to the position of tsar.
Speaking from the heart, Anastasia is still grateful to this man, and he works tirelessly. He also does not seem to be attached to power and status, and according to his merits, he could have gained a prominent position, but in addition to obtaining the status of the Patriarch in the field of religion, he did not seek a position of official and semi-official, and he is now a nominal advisor to the Tsar.
This is not a substantive position, not even the slightest bit of power, but Rasputin does not have the slightest superfluous statement.
However, if he really has no attachment to power, but he firmly controls the Tsar's personal guards, he does not know what method he used to make the Tsar's personal guards swear allegiance to him, you must know that those dragoon troops are not the same.
This time, the dragoon unit adopted the Habsburg dragoon type inherited from Austria-Hungary, which was the earliest batch of dragoon prototypes, although it was somewhat backward in technology, but its performance was more comprehensive.
To put it simply, the Dragoon type of the Habsburg Dynasty is known as a comprehensive multi-functional type, in a word, it is comprehensive, and it is difficult to describe it as relatively backward.
The earliest generation of dragoons was not developed to face the real sword with dignity and head-on.
After all, the researchers were not sure at the time, and this new type of sword was originally designed to threaten ground forces, or conventional forces.
It was considered as a substitute for a real sword, so the first generation of fighting was relatively simple in terms of performance.
However, when countries began to focus on the study of digital warfare, they began to greedily consider the tactical requirements of each, such as specialization in different battlefield situations, which would be divided into interception models, fighter models and combat models, corresponding to different battle situations.
However, when Tsarist Russia purchased the first model of the Habsburg dragoons and began to develop new models, the Russians considered the problem in a very simple way, not just a copycat, but from the most standard and basic body of knowledge and technology, which could be applied everywhere.
So, by Colonel-General Brusilov and Captain Sergei. Ivanovich. The M1891, developed by the Mosin and Nagant brothers, was launched, and in the following years several different dragoon models were developed for the Russian army on land and sea.
In the face of the current battlefield, the old M1891 is obviously lagging behind the British Commonwealth in terms of the ever-changing development of swords, and as soon as Rasputin came to power, he paid close attention to the army, he dispersed the lords of the General Staff and the Development Bureau, and privately recruited a group of designers to begin to improve and design new types of swords, as well as weapons and equipment of various branches of the military, and strive to equip various units in the shortest possible time.
The most Anastasia dossier has seen these days is the budget that Rasputin wants her to spend money on, and all kinds of new weapons. This gave her a bad premonition deep in her heart.
"Since His Highness is not interested, then forget it."
Without speculating for more than half a sentence, Rasputin saw that he could not convince the female tsar, and did not say much, he put the budget in his hand on the table beside him, bowed slightly, and withdrew from the ornate dormitory. (To be continued......)
