Chapter 361: The Tsar Restoration
Early this morning, Huo Jinsi, director of the National Intelligence Bureau, rushed to report: "Mr. Wen, the Tsar's family has safely arrived in Yekaterinburg, which is under the control of the White Army, and our personnel have not lost a single one, and they have all been evacuated safely...... In addition, due to the aggravation of Prince Alexei's condition, there is no local condition for treatment, and he has now been sent to Urumqi overnight for treatment. â
"Great, so I can rest assured. Oh, send a few good of our doctors to Urumqi ......" Wen Deji smiled, then rolled his eyes, and smiled even more happily: "Remember, Prince Alexei must be the focus, and he must be treated comprehensively, and the medicine he needs will be ...... by Dr. Ji Huiye or Director Yue Youmu of the Biological Institute" He especially accentuated his tone when he said "comprehensive treatment".
Of course, Huo Jinsi understood what the boss meant, and hurriedly agreed: "Understood, Mr. Wen." I immediately went to ask the experts from the Biology Institute to go to Urumqi for treatment...... Oh, and the queen and the two eldest princesses who accompanied Prince Alexei to the Urumqi hospital also have to undergo comprehensive treatment......"
"Of course, whenever there is an opportunity, for the health of the Tsar's family, a comprehensive treatment will be carried out. His Majesty Nikolai also sent an easter egg to my son, so let's return the favor......" Wen Deji smiled harmlessly.
Then he turned to Gu Xiaofei next to him and said: "Xiaofei, inform the General Political Department that all those who participated in the operation will be rewarded in accordance with the relevant regulations, and they will be promoted if they should be promoted, and they will be rewarded if they should be rewarded." The nature of the dragon's tooth is special, so their people should not be publicly rewarded...... Oh, and that little guy named Ye Muyi, try to give him a chance to create a zĂ o, and be sure to let him pursue Princess Maria. Those rivals in love with him must be suppressed, and if necessary, let them surprise them......"
â...... Mr. Wen, you!" "The words in front are fine, but the words in the back make Gu Xiaofei embarrassed. She rolled her eyes: "I actually used the power of the state to help people pick up girls...... It's so troublesome, why don't you take that one yourself?"
"Because this also involves national interests, but it's not just Ye Muyi's own business. Wen Deji smiled: "As for me, my appetite is so good, it's enough to have a few of you......"
"Hmph......" Gu Xiaofei's little face turned red all of a sudden, and she quickly changed the topic and said, "I heard that the D-7 chip can't completely control the target." Besides, judging from the current situation, in the future, the Tsar family may only be a mascot that unites the various white forces, and they will not be able to make decisions about major policies. â
"This kind of chip is only an external chip, and it is not a complete replacement for the brain, of course, it is impossible to completely control the target thought, the human body is very complex, and it is not a machine. I have not thought of completely controlling their thoughts, it is enough to have a certain influence on their thoughts, so that they will be more pro-China and more obedient to us. As for whether the Tsar family will be able to hold real power in the future, it doesn't really matter, at least their words can influence the following decisions. â
Wen Desi couldn't help but YY in his heart: "Hey, it's a pity that the requirements for storage conditions of biochips are too high, not only do they need pure special culture fluids, but they also need to supply oxygen at any time." Otherwise, it can be disguised as a healing injection or something sold all over the world, and at that time, the whole world will be the leading party...... "Of course, he also knows that this is impossible, the storage conditions of this kind of thing are quite high, and it is impossible to disguise it as an ordinary injection.
Besides, this thing has to be injected in the back of the cervical spine, and if the target is not completely controlled in your own hands, even ordinary people will not be able to let you play like this, let alone those powerful people. Even if they need treatment, they must have their own cronies watching, and opportunities like Alexei's now are extremely hard to find.
........................................................................
For the anxious Provisional Government, the arrival of the Tsar's family was undoubtedly a strong stimulant.
In contrast to the well-organized Red Army, the White Army consisted of a loose coalition of various factions, including royalists, militarists, liberal democrats, moderate socialists, and so on. Their personnel were very mixed, with the exception of some troops who opposed the Bolsheviks, many of them local unemployed peasants and rabble.
These factions with their own evil intentions were very divided among themselves, and if it were not for the common enemy of the "Red Army", they would have been beaten into dogs' brains themselves. Now, despite the Provisional Government, strictly speaking, the White Army does not have a unified leader, even Kolchak, the supreme consul recognized by all sides. For example, Lao Gao, although he is the nominal supreme leader, in addition to being able to command some of his own hardcore troops, the white armies of other factions are all obedient to his orders. Therefore, they obviously have an advantage in the balance of forces, but they have been pressed and beaten by the Red Army, fighting as much as they want, and being abused by various positions and methods.
Strictly speaking, the White Army did not lack money or manpower, but a leader with enough authority to unite them, even if it was a spiritual leader. And at the moment these people in the White Army, including Kolchak, do not have the qualifications to become the co-leaders of this faction, or they do not have enough time to build themselves up enough to match the prestige of the position of head of the Russian state, or "leader of the White Army".
The arrival of the Tsar was completely different, they finally had a leader who was enough to convince all the forces. Therefore, when the Tsar's family arrived in Yekaterinburg, they were warmly welcomed by all forces, and many people shed tears of excitement. These people are not acting, but sincerely, at this time, who is still in the mood to act.
Although many of the tearful crowd were members of the Loyalist faction who had been strongly opposed to the Tsar, they all sincerely welcomed the return of His Majesty the Tsar. Well, whether the Russians are cheap, or whether happiness is comparative, or for some other reason, anyway, these guys, who were cheering for the Tsar's ouster a year ago, began to miss their "little father" deeply after they suffered from the Cloth Party.
In fact, this is also because the people of the Buzzaville Party have overestimated their influence and appeal, they have overestimated the love and identification of the Russians with the so-called communism, and the implementation of many policies has been too impatient and too intense, especially after the military suppression of the Constituent Assembly and the signing of the traitorous treaty, which made them the public enemies of all factions. This series of actions has pushed almost all allies and supporters against themselves. Now, in Russia, apart from the party itself, the attitude of the remaining people, including the party's former allies, supporters, and sympathizers, has taken a 180-degree turn. They would rather choose the Tsar than the Cloth Party, otherwise they would not have risen up and fought with the Cloth Party.
To tell the truth, the Cloth Party knows far more about the role of the Ni Er family than the Provisional Government. Ulyanov and others keenly saw that the current situation was very different from before, and that the Tsar before the October Revolution was the most hateful person, and in the popular comments he had almost become a rat crossing the street, and no one would support them except those hardcore royalists.
But since the October Revolution, the situation has been very different, and the hatred of the party has become the party, and the subsequent events such as "sabotage of the constitution" and "traitorous treaty" have trampled the prestige of the party to the valley, and the hatred of the party is much higher than that of the tsar. Now the tsar has become the hope of the anti-cloth forces, which means that the evaluation of the cloth party and the tsar among the people has completely collapsed, which cannot be compared with a very dramatic thing.
Ulyanov and others had already realized that the Tsar's family was the key to the restoration of imperial power by the Russian White Army, and once they combined with the White Army, things would become very tricky and even fatal. The White Army is now like a scumbag, but it's not that he's really a scumbag, it's just that there is a lack of a leader who can convince the people, and their power can't be used together. But with the tsar it was different, in turbulent times when the new order had not yet been established, representatives of the old order could easily become spiritual symbols of the people, especially with self-interest.
The Tsar is undoubtedly the best representative of the old Russian order, and the Romanov dynasty's rule for hundreds of years has made the family's legitimacy in Russia deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. "Orthodoxy" is intangible and insubstantial, and may be insignificant in the eyes of some people, but this kind of thing is the crystallization of order and tradition, which usually looks useless, but at certain times, it will emit a strong cohesion.
For example, in today's Russia, for the White Army, the Tsarist family with its "orthodox" status is the flag they need most. This banner of "orthodoxy" will become their spiritual pillar, so that they can unite under this banner and quickly gather the support of many foreign forces and royalist forces. This was a great trouble for the Red Army, which was intent on seizing power in the whole country, and would not only hinder the progress of the Red Army's reunification, but would even be overturned by the White Army.
It is precisely because they saw the importance of the Tsarist family to the White Army that the Cloth Party would kill the Tsar's family, as long as there was no "orthodox" banner of the Tsar, the White Army would be scum. It was not that no one in the White Army saw this, but it was a little late, and by the time they saw this, the Tsar had already fallen into the hands of the Cloth Party and was tightly controlled.
But now it's good, the tsar has finally been fished out by the Chinese. The Provisional Government was not ambiguous, and the next day it publicly announced the safe arrival of the Tsar's family in Yekaterinburg and called on the people of all Russia to rise up against the evil Cloth Party. Upon hearing this news, the anti-party forces on all sides immediately saw hope, especially the military leaders who were in a wait-and-see state during the revolution, and they quickly gathered their forces and went to Yekaterinburg, both to pay homage to the Tsar and to make a political alliance.
The Entente countries, which were already very angry about the party's debt default, also issued a statement of support for the orthodox tsarist government at the first time, and even Kerensky's runaway was sent by the British from the Dutch.
After half a month of bickering and compromising with the White Army forces on all sides, they finally came to fruition. On April 25, 1918, the Russian Provisional Government announced in Yekaterinburg that the Russian Empire had been re-established and the tsarist system had been restored.
Nicholas II had a bad reputation in Europe and the United States because of "Bloody Sunday", and although the Entente wanted Russia to retain the monarchy, they were unwilling to restore him, otherwise they would not be able to account for the people. And for the various forces of the Provisional Government, this is also a problem. After all, most of them were against Ni Er at the time, and it was only after their excitement about seeing "Little Daddy" again subsided that they remembered this embarrassing question, if Ni Er continued to be the Tsar, everyone would look down every day and not look up, how embarrassing it would be. Besides, he has abdicated, and it is not appropriate to have a reset.
For the Great Powers, what they needed was an Orthodox government that could stand against Red Russia, acceptable as long as the Tsar was not Nibi. For the military leaders, the bourgeoisie and socialists in the White Army, it was the same consideration, all they needed was a cohesive orthodox banner, a mascot to sit on the throne, so that Alexei must be much more suitable than his old son. And for the royalists, they have nothing to say about being able to restore the tsarism and keep the crown on the Romanovs.
Therefore, after negotiations from all sides, the position of the tsar could no longer be given to Ni II, so Prince Alexei became an acceptable candidate for all parties.
On April 26, Prince Alexei, who had just returned from treatment at the Xinjiang Provincial People's Hospital in Urumqi, ascended the throne at Iset Castle in Yekaterinburg, officially becoming the eighteenth tsar of the Romanov dynasty, called Alexei II. Because Alexei is only 13 years old now and cannot exercise many of the affairs of the monarch, Princess Olga was elected regent.
As Wen Desi predicted, although the Russian Empire was restored, the imperial power was greatly reduced, and the tsar was only a symbol of the state, the leader of the Orthodox Church, and the identity of the head of state, and the power of the military state was vested in the imperial Duma and the cabinet, whether it was the tsar or the regent princess, it was just a rubber stamp. That is, now this new tsarist Russia has become a real constitutional monarchy.
Subsequently, a new government was also elected, with former Prime Minister of the Provisional Government Kerensky as Prime Minister of the Reich, Kolchak as Minister of Defense and Minister of the Navy, Kornilov as Minister of War, and Denikin as Commander-in-Chief of the Army.
As if to justify the Tsar's restoration, the day after Alexei II ascended the throne, the White Army received good news from Ufa and routed the 50,000 Red Army led by Frunze.
