St. Petersburg, Tsarist Russia, where the Tsar's palace was originally located, is now the headquarters of the Soviets.
St. Petersburg under Soviet control and Tsarist Russia changed dramatically. The streets are full of busy workers, and all kinds of material resources are constantly being sent to the front line. The successive victories of the Soviet Red Army on the battlefield gave all revolutionaries confidence in the future. But if you look closely, the workers under the Soviets have a vegetable-colored face, and because they are very excited, they hide the hardships of life.
The current Soviet government is headed by Lenin, who, after launching the "second revolution" and overthrowing the bourgeois government, began to implement a "wartime economy" system, pooling all the assets of the people through administrative orders, and giving priority to supplying the Red Army fighting at the front. Workers and peasants, on the other hand, received a fixed subsistence quota according to the population. It has to be said that although Lenin's methods were somewhat cruel, they ensured that the nascent Soviet Red Army maintained a strong fighting capacity and a high will to fight, and at the same time, under the encouragement of the ideas of Red Communism, the Soviets did a good job of covering up the contradictions between the Soviet government and the common people.
After Tsar Nicholas II fled from St. Petersburg, he began to concentrate his efforts on encircling the revolutionary regime in St. Petersburg. In addition to the uninterrupted encirclement and suppression by force, it also includes a tight economic blockade. After the failure of the second large-scale encirclement and suppression of the Russian government army, Nicholas II shouted the slogan: "No inflow of goods outside the red regime". All commercial channels were forcibly closed. This policy has yielded good results in a short period of time. The Russian government army took advantage of it during the second encirclement and suppression.
But this situation did not last long, and a large number of advanced weapons appeared in the Soviet Red Army, which should have been tightly sealed, not including heavy machine guns of considerable scale. It was this batch of weapons and equipment that suddenly appeared on the battlefield that caused the unsuspecting tsarist government army to be defeated and lost, and finally the second encirclement and suppression, which concentrated a large amount of manpower and material resources, ended without a hitch.
The tsar was furious and ordered a thorough investigation. Tsar's Minister of Internal Affairs Vyacheslav. Previ was at the request of the tsar at all costs to find out. A thorough investigation of the various avenues around the Red Regime was carried out.
This check really found out a big problem. The commander of an army group of the tsarist government forces went so far as to collude with the Red regime to secretly send into the St. Petersburg region a batch of weapons and ammunition that the Red Soviets had obtained from abroad. With more than a million Tsarist government troops blockading the Soviets layer by layer, a small army commander can complete the smuggling of this large amount of arms and materials with his hands and eyes, and there are probably even more unknown secrets in this.
Moscow.
The Tsar's face was not very good, and yesterday the news of the defeat came from the front, and the Tsar could not understand why the Red Army, which was besieged by only more than 200,000 men with millions of troops, failed every time. The commanders of the Tsarist army had changed several times, and those who had once been famous in the face of the Red Army, which was only one-fifth in number, was constantly having problems.
The current Tsar felt a deep crisis, and for the first time the Tsar was extremely disappointed with his government. Although the tsar is not usually very diligent in government affairs, and many times he behaves very stupidly, but the tsar can sit firmly on the throne of the tsar in the cruel tsarist Russia, not only the legacy of his ancestors. And after being a tsar for so many years, he Nicholas II is not an idiot, and he can still feel some basic crises. Especially after the February Revolution in St. Petersburg, the tsar escaped death, and his personality also changed a lot. He sensed that there was a crisis in his Government and that it was further expanding. ..., "Your Majesty the Tsar, the Minister of the Interior begs to see!" The attendant said respectfully.
"Let him in!" The Tsar's voice was somewhat hoarse. It sounds a little weak.
A big fat man with a sturdy physique walked in.
"Your Majesty, the task you have assigned is already eyebrow-raising!" Vyacheslav. Previ said with a low brow. The tsar was a notoriously tyrant, and during this time he was in a bad mood, and he killed a lot of people, especially when the war on the front line was not going well, and the tsar's temper became more and more irritable. Vyacheslav. Previ was not afraid that the tsar would kill him. After all, there are not many ministers available around the current tsar. And he is one of the few close ministers around the tsar, no matter how stupid the tsar is, he will not kill him in this situation, and his life safety is still guaranteed. It's just that if you anger the tsar, a rebuke is inevitable. No one wants to be trained for nothing, so he is always cautious and conscientious in cashing out.
"Say! Who did it. I'm going to screw his head! The Tsar stood up with a snort, his rough face being a murderous intent that could not be concealed. The Tsar's heart was full of depression, and for the third time he went all out to encircle and suppress, the Tsarist Army started well, the million-strong army moved quickly, and the Red Army was limited to ammunition problems and retreated one after another. The living space of the Red Army was constantly compressed, and some of the outlying positions were captured. The tide of the war was extremely favorable for the Russian government forces. But at this time, an elite Soviet force of 50,000 people suddenly entered the battlefield, all of which were equipped with the most advanced German Type 98 rifles in the world, as well as a large number of heavy machine guns and mortars. The most important thing is that this unit has sufficient ammunition, and it is not in any way as the rest of the Red Army, which has to charge or move after a few shots. It was precisely because they did not expect that the Red Army suddenly went berserk, and the government troops were directly stunned.
Plus the commander-in-chief of this Soviet army, Alexander. Ilyich. Yegorov was a fierce general who emerged from the Red Army's constant counter-encirclement and suppression. He led the new force of the Soviets to fight directly at the junction between the front and the center of the government army. The government army was directly cut into two sections, and even more violently attacked, so that the front army of nearly 200,000 government troops was dispersed, resulting in the complete failure of the tsarist government's confident encirclement and suppression.
"It was the commander of the Fourth Army, Plastis. Ricky. It had been bought off by the Red Soviets, and it was through his defense zone that the rebels entered the St. Petersburg region. "Vyacheslav. Previ said in a deep voice.
"Commander of the Fourth Army?" The Tsar's face changed dramatically. Although the group armies of Tsarist Russia vary in size, they generally control about 100,000 people. Only ten group armies participated in the encirclement and suppression of the Red Army. Unexpectedly, one of them was bought by the Red Soviets.
"Yes. I have thoroughly grasped the evidence. ”
"Plastis. Ricky is a Red Revolutionary? The tsar's face sank like water, and this matter actually involved the generals of the group army, and the tsar's face became even more ugly, and his fear of the red regime deepened.
Vyacheslav. Previ shook his head.
"Probably not, Plastis. Ricky must have just been bribed for a bribe of rubles. Moreover, this matter also involves other people. ”
"Who?" The Tsar's heart sank completely.
"Rasputin!" Vyacheslav. Previ said with a slight hesitation.
"What? How could it be him? The Tsar's face was full of disbelief. If we talk about the current tsarist government, who the tsar trusts the most, it is not the generals who are fighting on the front line, nor the attendants around him, but the Rasputin who rescued him from the revolutionary party in St. Petersburg. Rasputin was only a favored courtier, and because he was loved by the queen, he rose to prominence. Although the tsar liked him and gave him a lot of power, he was also aware of his abilities, and after coming to Moscow, Rasputin received a lot of rewards. Moreover, he was made an earl by the Tsar, becoming the hottest new nobleman in the Tsarist government during this time. For his savior, the tsar regarded him as a confidant and trusted him. Hearing Rasputin's betrayal, the Tsar's first reaction was not to believe it. But looking at Vyachslav . Previ, he really couldn't find a reason to oppose it. ..., "We've found out. The Soviet agents used 500,000 rubles to buy a customs clearance pass from Rasputin, and through Rasputin, they bought Prastis. Ricky has opened up a secret trade route. Over the past two years, countless supplies have entered the St. Petersburg region. ”
"Damn it!" The Tsar clenched his fists fiercely. For Vyachitslav. He may not have fully believed Plevy's words. But that didn't diminish the anger in his heart. Rasputin's greed for money, he knew. But doing business at the head of the revolutionary party, the tsar could not stand it. The current tsar was driven mad by the revolutionaries. In addition to wanting the revolutionaries in his jurisdiction to raise their butcher's knives, he was also unrelenting to the officials of the tsarist government who associated with the revolutionary party. Later, the slaughter was ended under the persuasion of the Russian prime minister, but the bloody horror also enveloped the hearts of all Tsarist officials. No one dared to make Soviet contacts public. The tsar was satisfied, and triumphant about his means.
But now the person he trusted the most was taboo in this regard, and the tsar was a little embarrassed for a while. Killing Tsar Rasputin is not a good deal. If Nicholas II was not only fanatical about power, but also about fame. Rasputin saved him and saved the Romanov dynasty This everyone knows that if the tsar kills him now, it is inevitable that he will be suspected of ingratitude. But if it is true, then it would be a great shame for the tsarist government not to kill Rasputin.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Oh no. Oh no! An attendant rushed in in embarrassment. I couldn't care about the Tsar's ugly face anymore.
"What's wrong?" The Tsar's face grew gloomy. The people around him became more and more ignorant of the rules, and the tsar was thinking in his heart whether he needed to replace another batch of people.
"The rebels launched a large-scale counterattack, and my 500,000 troops were surrounded by the rebels and were in danger."
"What? Where did the rebels have so many troops? "In the tsar's cognition, the rebel army should be only two or three hundred thousand, how can it be possible to surround five hundred thousand, this is obviously a bit absurd.
