In fact, since several years ago, Nicholas II's tough political actions have already aroused the dissatisfaction of most of the Russian aristocracy, the army, and the ministers of the court, who are trying to overthrow the current tsar and allow the young crown prince Alexei to succeed him.

But the situation developed almost unbelievably, not only Nicholas II was poisoned, but other members of his royal family also died in political assassinations, and the terrifying news came one after another, and the sky over St. Petersburg was clouded, and everyone suspected that civil strife would break out in the next moment.

The process of capitalism adopted by Nicholas II led to the disintegration of the serfdom class, which led to the development of the social productive forces, but also shook the rights and interests of the large landowners.

The growth of commercial trade with European goods also led to the emergence of a large number of merchants and a new group of nobles.

For example, the new aristocracy, most of them are capitalists who started as merchants, or old aristocrats who retained their titles of nobility but also engaged in some capital operations, and they were the new force of the Tsarist Russian Empire.

On the other hand, the rise of the industrial field also led to a significant increase in Russia's military power, especially the emergence of new types of swords, which made the swords in the hands of the nobility, that is, the absolute force in the world, obtained by the junior officers of the heavily equipped dragoon corps.

The junior officers, who were mostly ordinary people, were originally just civilians who played a supporting role in the army, and after they obtained the sword, their voice increased day by day. The multiple contradictions of the new type of state structure are buried deep in this huge empire, as if they will completely erupt overnight.

The relationship between the kulaks, the new aristocracy, and the common people's military forces and the old upper echelons of Tsarist Russia became increasingly contradictory, and the interests that had always occupied the upper echelons found themselves facing a serious challenge, and the bitter consequences of all this were clearly due to the reforms of Nicholas II.

Thereupon. The hostility against Nicholas II led to this assassination, which almost brought down the entire Romanov dynasty.

Yes, just a little bit, and if it weren't for the sudden appearance of that mysterious figure, I'm afraid the situation would be completely out of control.

But since the man named "Rasputin" appeared in St. Petersburg. The situation, which had been like a firewood on fire, was suddenly extinguished by an invisible force.

Who is the man named Rasputin sacred?

It is estimated that no one knows, and the only thing that can be assured is that this man single-handedly prevented a military uprising that took place in front of St. Petersburg Square, and thus appeared in front of the world.

He claimed to be an adviser to Nicholas II, and he had an untraceable mystical air in every gesture, and he himself was eloquent, often speaking philosophically, as if inspired by the Holy Spirit, and those who spoke with him said that he was a saint living in the present...... But there are also those who believe that his words have the power to deceive people.

True or not. No one can say for sure, but Rasputin appears to save Princess Anastasia and her younger brother, Crown Prince Alexei, who are in danger.

He single-handedly supported Anastasia to sit in the position of acting tsar, and at the same time took charge of the country, and two months ago successfully ascended to the throne of the Orthodox Patriarch, becoming the highest spiritual leader in the country.

With state power in one hand and religious power in the other, Rasputin is now the person with the most power in this country. Omnipotent, even a few big nobles. Or the royal family of close relatives cannot be compared to him.

She was the current advisor to the Tsar, a powerful woman who commanded the Royal Guard, consisting of the Preobrazhensky Regiment and the Semenovsky Regiment, two dragoons.

"Your Highness, why don't you rest at this time, what are you doing here?"

Anastasia stood on the horseshoe-shaped terrace with a sad face, she was a typical Russian beauty. Sai Xue's complexion, tall and bony figure, wearing a delicate white dress, with blue eyes, and golden and beautiful long hair. She wears a glittering golden crown on her head.

She frowned slightly, looking at the snow and thinking about something, when a figure appeared behind her.

It was Rasputin, dressed in black, he was almost forty years old, with an oriental silhouette on his face, and even his skin was very different from that of the Slavs, but no one ever noticed this, and they would inadvertently ignore these details.

"It's you!"

The beautiful puppet female tsar turned around, glanced at Rasputin, and said coldly: "Just look at the snow scene, is there something about the Patriarch coming to the Winter Palace at this time?" ”

"There are some documents on state affairs that need to be looked at by you."

Rasputin smiled indifferently.

"Come on! I'm just a pawn and a doll in your hand, no matter how beautifully decorated, but I'm just an empty shell, you really need me to take a look at it? ”

"Your Highness has been worried, until His Highness Alexei succeeds to the throne, there is no doubt that you will be the master of this country, and I, Gregory. Rasputin will follow the will of the Emperor and help you control the country. ”

Rasputin said righteously: "Although there is not much turbulence in our country on the surface, in fact, the ice floes on the water are not moving, the underwater dark tide is agitated, and all kinds of crises will appear at any time, and Great Britain has always regarded the country as a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh. ”

"As far as I know, this is not the case, my country has been actively expanding outward, and it is inevitable that we will have bad relations with other countries, and you have changed your old style these days and continued to carry out provocative acts against your neighbors, which has made the trouble more and more serious......

The girl tsar looked at him provocatively: "To be honest, I don't understand what you want, with your current status, power, wealth, and women are all at your fingertips, but your current actions are undoubtedly playing with fire, once it triggers a war with Europe, it will inevitably make national affairs fall into extreme erosion." ”

"Hehehe, what His Highness said is very true, but there are some things that we can avoid by evading, and there is no longer any possibility of reconciliation between our country and the countries of the alliance, and the British Commonwealth has long been rotten, and it has been relying on the exploitation of overseas colonies and the use of economic advantages to crowd out other countries in order to maintain a huge advantage in national strength."

Rasputin analyzed it in detail.

"Our country is located in the center of Europe, and it is not a threat to those European countries, let alone Britain, which lives outside the island, and the other side deliberately provokes this hidden fire in order to divert the target and complicate the situation, so as to solve its own problems."

"The British Commonwealth can only unite the allies and maintain this highly rotten empire like rotten apples only by constantly erecting new enemies, and our country has long been their internal target, and no matter what we choose, even if we show goodwill and get along with them, we will not be able to return the friendship of the other side."

"The present situation no longer requires the kindness of a woman, but a careful consideration of how to steer the future situation to a more favorable side. Staying away from the flames of war is not to escape the war, which will not solve the problem, but it is the right and tough attitude that will deter the enemy, so that he will choose to abandon the wrong way of thinking about being an enemy of our side.
