Postscript 3 Nicholas II
In a drowsy state, Georgi seemed to hear the cries of his loved ones, and he struggled to open his eyes.
Born into a poor family, Georgi was a dutiful son. His father was a Tsarist Russian veteran who fought in World War II and fought against the Chinese on the front for nearly two years, was promoted to corporal and received two Georgi Crosses, one for capturing a Japanese officer and one for being seriously wounded. That serious injury left him in a military hospital for half a year, and then when the war ended, he was fortunate enough to return to his native province of Kaluga to work as a shoemaker, marry Georgi's mother, and give birth to Georgi and his sister.
Life was difficult in Kaluga province, with a family of four living in only one house, and the house was too small to accommodate a family of four at the same time. But squeezing to death is better than freezing to death. As a child, Georgi attended a parochial elementary school. After graduating from primary school, his father took him to St. Petersburg to learn a trade. He was apprenticed in the fur workshop of his uncle Pilikhin, his father stayed in St. Petersburg, and later his mother and sister also came to St. Petersburg. The family migrated to St. Petersburg, and when he grew up, his sister married in St. Petersburg.
Georgi was a very hard worker, and he was tired from his work, so he insisted on self-study, and at night he approached the dim electric light in the toilet to do his homework. Last year, he took the examination for all the courses of the municipal secondary school and passed the examination.
Knowledge allowed Georgi to learn more about the outside world and gain more access to outside information. His horizons became broader, and he had a stronger spirit of exploration, an exploration of Russian society, an exploration of European society, an exploration of the Eastern Empire, and an exploration of the Red Thought......
Shortly after the overthrow of the Tsar's rule this year, Georgi became a member of a workers' picket and joined the Social Workers' Party.
Georgi, who had been unconscious for a long time, opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was his father and mother, and the anxious expressions of the two made Georgi feel sorry somehow. I am already old, seventeen or eighteen years old, but I still let my parents worry about it.
"Lord, thank you for your kindness and great mercy. Georgi, Georgi, my child......"
The cries of surprise from his mother came from his ears, which made Georgi's brain clearer. What happened before was slowly recalled, and he also remembered what the wound on his forehead was.
The wound on the forehead was smashed, with the butt of a rifle.
As a workers' picket, they have been paying close attention to the demonstrators in front of the Winter Palace in the past few days, and when they heard the sound of gunfire in front of the Winter Palace, they were all impulsive, and the captain was about to rush to the Winter Palace with a gun to seek justice for the demonstrators.
As a result, the government troops on the street were unwilling to let them go, and ordered them to withdraw on their own or face the consequences, and the government soldiers were still standing by behind the cordon with rifles, and put on a posture of shooting if they rushed strongly.
Seeing this posture, the captain didn't dare to give the order to rush, if this caused a formal exchange of fire between the two sides, the responsibility was not something he could afford.
But the captain was not willing to show his cowardice, although he did not dare to rush, but he was also unwilling to retreat. The guns on both sides were facing each other, but no one dared to shoot, but they pushed on both sides of the cordon. Just as everyone was competing for strength, two gunshots rang out, and a government officer fell down clutching his chest. At this moment, the situation is out of control, and people on both sides are subconsciously about to distance themselves and pull the trigger. It was at that time that Georgi was smashed on the head with the butt of a gun by a government soldier on the opposite side, because he was brave enough to rush to the front line, and the whole person was wrapped in the middle of the government army, and he didn't know anything about what happened after that.
Only now, at least he wasn't in jail.
Georgi's mother was overjoyed when she saw her son wake up, but his father knew what his son really cared about. Wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, he said, "There are not a few people who died, but some people were injured." And the two groups didn't fight, so there's something strange about it. Did you know that the president was in front of the gate to comfort the wounded after the shooting in the Winter Palace when he was shot in the abdomen by a gunman in the shadows......"
When the bloodshed broke out, the workers' pickets were, of course, indignant, and the government troops furious. But at this time, the president was shot black, or he was shot when he appeared at the gate of the Winter Palace and shouted that the guards did not shoot, and he almost died on the spot, and he is still being rescued. This news is like a bucket of ice water from the North Pole, which woke up the brains of both groups of people at once.
That's not right. This is someone deliberately stirring up trouble, and someone is stirring up trouble.
Georgi, of course, will be fine.
And in the previous firefight, only five people in the picket team were killed, which in the eyes of Georg Guitar Daddy, can it be considered a problem? The old man is a person who has seen big scenes, and he doesn't care about the casualties at all.
The current era can be described as an era of change for Russia, and the whole society is in a frenzy. The current scene is a small wave under a red tide.
"Georgy Konstantinovich Zhukov, right? Please don't be nervous, we just need to know something from you. β
Two St. Petersburg policemen showed up at the door of Georgi's ward.
β¦β¦
Nikolai Alexandrovich Romanov, that is, His Majesty the former Tsar Nicholas II of Russia. Ever since his reign was overthrown, his family had been confined to the summer palace. It is located in the forest on the southern shore of the Gulf of Finland, about 30 kilometers from the city of St. Petersburg, covering almost a thousand hectares.
The life of Nicholas II's family was not treated in the slightest way, and even the tsar's guard was allowed to continue to exist. Although the captain of the garrison here was very wary of Nicholas II's family, although the guard was a severely shrunken version of the guard with only thirty men left, although this guard did not even have a long spear, only three pistols, and each pistol contained only five bullets. But that made the Tsar's family feel a little safe.
Moreover, in order to win the cooperation of Nicholas II, the Provisional Government also allowed Nicholas II to communicate with the outside world, receive visits from outsiders, listen to the radio and see all the newspapers of St. Petersburg. This gave Nicholas II a channel to hand over the situation outside.
It is precisely because Nicholas II was able to have so much contact with the outside world that there are scenes in St. Petersburg today.
The director of all this was not Nicholas II, all Nicholas II did was sign his name on a secret document, and everything else was done by someone else.
Nikolai just had to wait quietly.
Even for the sake of secrecy, only he knew about it, and even his dear cousin and wife were kept in the dark by him.
The real leader of this operation was Admiral Alexander Vasilyevich Kolchak, and the commander-in-chief of the operation was Anton Ivanovich Denikin, the commander of the Eighth Army of the Russian Infantry. And as for the director behind it, it is the Chinese Empire in the East.
Listening to the gunshots and explosions coming from all directions, Kolchak's heart was almost in his throat. Now that the rescue operation has begun, what does China say about that sentence?
"Open the bow and there is no turning back"!
Even if there was a wall in front of him, he could only rush forward with his eyes closed.
Today's Russia is in a mess, and Britain, France, Germany and other countries are all blood-sucking leeches, entrenched in Russia's body. Russia can no longer sink, and taking another path may not be the way out.
Although the plan is very detailed, if His Majesty the Tsar does not appear in front of him, there is no guarantee that things will go as planned.
Denikin had already led people into the summer palace, which covered an area of thousands of miles and had too many passages to penetrate. The strength of a regiment of the Provisional Government could not seal off the entire summer palace, not to mention that they had also instigated some of the officers in the guard force in advance.
Denikin was not a die-hard loyalist of Nicholas II, on the contrary, he was full of complaints about the tsar in the previous years, so in the provisional government, Denikin was still a relatively trusted general. Much better than the fate of the admiral Kolchak. Although the tsar was forced to abdicate, Kolchak was the first admiral to swear allegiance to the Provisional Government. He also said: "I am not in the service of this or that form of government, but in the service of the Motherland, which I regard above all else." "But Kolchak just didn't have the confidence of the Provisional Government.
His status is too high, the commander of the Black Sea Fleet.
Kolchak was removed from the post of commander of the Black Sea Fleet and appointed chief of staff of the Admiralty, a fictitious post with no real power, but this was not the fundamental reason why Kolchak stood on the opposite side of the Provisional Government.
The fundamental reason for Kolchak's complete disillusionment with the Provisional Government was the constant sinking of Russia these days. Four months have passed since the coup d'Γ©tat, and what has the Provisional Government done?
So many corrupt and incompetent aristocrats have been beaten, but aren't the new ones corrupt and incompetent?
Look at the high-ranking officials in the government now, who are corrupt and bribe-taking, who have many mistresses, and the malpractices of the old Tsarist regime are repeated one by one, fully implementing the "famous words" of Pope Leo X: "Because God has given us this office, let us enjoy it." β
Kolchak couldn't bear it anymore, the Russia he hoped for was not such a Russia, it was not as good as the old tsarist government.
But Kolchak knew very well that the Provisional Government had already united the vast majority of the bourgeois forces, and that as long as the Provisional Government existed, it would be difficult to rely on his own strength. And at this time, the Chinese intelligence system came into contact with him, and then everything fell into place.
There has never been a shortage of reformist forces within the Russian government, and Kolchak is more inclined to the reformers in the former Tsarist government than the very ugly and bad bourgeois forces that are now manifesting themselves. And with the name of Tsar, he was able to unite a lot of royalist forces.
Coupled with the support of China, Kolchak was confident that another Russia would be created in Moscow.
Of course, Nicholas II also needed to show corresponding sincerity, for example, by giving a 'action' fund. The tsar's government was a poor treasury with rats, but the tsar himself was not poor. The Tsar's family had a number of industries all over the world, including in China. In addition, before the turbulent changes at the beginning of the year, Nicholas II, who had already sensed the slightest mistake, sent 150 large boxes of his and his wife's private property to the Bank of England in England, and more than five tons of gold to the banks of China.
Nicholas II authorized Kolchak to use only a small part of the funds, and Kolchak's operations were adequately funded.
This operation was a gamble for both of them.
The tsar used his rights to buy the freedom of his family. The freedom and safety of the family was the most important thing in the eyes of Nicholas II, who was imprisoned for more than a hundred days.
So he signed that secret document, and in the presence of China, Nicholas II promised to "grant" Russian citizens the inviolable rights of the person, freedom of belief, speech, assembly, association; The convening of a legislative State Duma (Council of Deputies, similar to a parliament) shall invalidate any law without the consent of the State Duma. Any usurpation of power that stops the law or stops the application of the law by virtue of the authority of the monarch without the consent of the Duma is an illegal power. Any usurpation of power that abolishes the law or enforces the law without the consent of the Duma by virtue of the authority of the monarch is an illegal power. Any person who, without the consent of the Duma, expropriates money for the sovereign or for the use of the sovereign in excess of the time limit or manner permitted by the Duma, under the prerogative of the Sovereign, shall be unlawful. Wait a minute.
It cannot be said that Nicholas II completely lost his rights, but he was also stripped of most of his rights.
But Nicholas II thought it was worth it.
What he regrets most now is that he didn't leave the palace at the first time of the chaos, like this kind of coup, the safety of their family is completely in the hands of others, which is too unsafe and unsafe.
Louis XVI's predecessor, Nicholas II had to be wary. In particular, Nicholas II once asked his cousin George V of England for political asylum, which was initially agreed by the British side, and it was the government that agreed. But then George V refused Nicholas II's request for refuge, and not only George V, but also Wilhelm II of Germany.
You must know that there are only a few European royal families, and they are all relatives of each other. Nicholas II's Empress Alexandra Feodorovna grew up beside Queen Victoria and was Victoria's granddaughter, but in fact she was a member of the German royal family.
This hurt Nicholas II's feelings greatly, and this time he threw himself into the arms of China as a necessity.
For Nicholas II, it was not just a gamble, but possibly a gamble on life. Britain and Germany, which had rejected Nicholas II's request for asylum, could hardly be Nicholas II's supporters. These two countries, which were the invisible support of the Tsar, are now suddenly turning into opposing forces, and in this case, the position of Nicholas II's family is not so strong.
If this escape had been prevented, it would have been difficult for Nicholas II to imagine what kind of predicament he would face. The reason for Louis XVI's death has a lot to do with his escape. After his failed escape, the Provisional Government could have regarded him as a tool to divert internal contradictions, and put a lot of 'blame' on Louis XVI's head for the 'crimes' left behind in history......
Of course, Kerensky's assassination would certainly have thrown the Provisional Government into disarray. There was a large group of dogs who no longer wanted to look at the flesh and bones......
It is said that the assassination of Kerensky was really not the handiwork of Kolchak, who only wanted to provoke contradictions between the workers' pickets and the Provisional Government, and never thought of assassinating Kerensky.
