"General Korninov, today will be the last chance. You have two options: bury a decaying government and create a new one, or bury the decaying dynasty. There was not much time left, the German High Seas Fleet had already reached the sea off Tallinn, and in the south, the German Army from Riga was fighting Kolchak's troops, and from the west, under the attack of the German Navy and Army, it was only a matter of time before Tallinn fell. It is only a matter of time before the crown of the Normanov dynasty falls, and for the sake of our country, and for ourselves and our families, we should do something before the Germans come in and make those nobles scapegoats! Let's build a new nation. Prince Lvov said.

"And then go around the command knives of the Germans? And at the same time send a lot of reparations and land to gain the understanding of the Germans? This is treason! Korninov stared at the man in front of him like a ferocious lion, as if he would tear him to pieces at any moment.

"Russia has been teased and used by the British for almost a hundred years...... They used us to fend off Napoleon, but then together with Napoleon's nephews, they blocked our expansion on the Black Sea coast. We wanted a real ice-free port in the Far East, and the British, together with the Chinese, wiped out our entire navy and lost us a large part of our territory. Finally throw us a push of the pound and give orders to the great Russian nation and let us encircle the interests of the British Empire with our own blood! We independently fended off the armies of the German, Austrian, and Turkish countries on the Eastern Front, while they had nothing to do on the Western Front! They took us as a consumable, a consumable that could bring down Germany! It's just that this time we were unlucky, the Germans were not Napoleon, we did not drag down the enemy, but we have already consumed too much strength! King Li Wufu said fairly..........

"Russia's most glorious time was in the mid-19th century. We are the gendarmes of Europe. Great Russia does not have to look at anyone's face to act. And during the subsequent period of the Three Emperors Alliance, Russia received tangible security guarantees. Three great nations together cannot be shaken by any force! If this treaty can continue, we will not lose Vladivostok, at least in the Far East. Until now. Russia has already lost too many opportunities and benefits because of Nikolai's wrong decision, and our task is to change that. Of course, a certain amount of loss must be bearable. But at least it's better than continuing to fight, if it really comes to the moment when it falls apart. I am afraid that Germany and China will divide Russia from both the east and the west. We end up with nothing left. Prince Lvov looked at the uncertain Korninov and said.

"That is, now that we have joined Germany, we still have something left, right?" Korninov's eyes were full of mockery. "It's brutal though. But it is true that we cannot beat the Germans and Austrians combined. Even if the whole country is mobilized, it will not work. The army is already war-weary. It can't be replenished in the later stage. It's ridiculous that Denikin still wants to rely on the meager supplies of China to resist a country, it's ridiculous! Huaxia wants to weaken both Russia and Germany through this war, and then reap the benefits of a collapsed Russia! Kornikov muttered to himself..........

"What are the demands of the Germans? What do we have to lose? What will you get? A few minutes later, Kornikov, who had vented, asked. Tsarist Russia is already crumbling, and he is naturally reluctant to bury the Normanov dynasty after seeing the situation clearly, but some things are better explained first.

"The Baltic side will be subject to the Line of Actual Control between the two sides. Russian Poland and Ukraine will be partitioned or become independent. There are also Ardahan, Dales, Batumi regions. Finland will also become independent. Then there are some reparations and supplies. Detailed discussions are ongoing. Prince Lvov said. …。

"What a generous attitude!" The anger and mockery in Kornikov's words were unabashedly expressed. "And what do we get?"

"Guarantees of our support and the security of the country. The rest of our territory will no longer be taken by anyone, including Huaxia in the east! Compared with Germany, which had to deal with the Entente, I always thought that China, which had been dormant for more than ten years, was even more terrifying! Prince Li Wov said solemnly.

"The Tsar's elite has been transferred to the front, and the remaining miscellaneous fish have little combat effectiveness, as long as we can control Petrograd in a short time. After opening the arsenal, we can also arm a large number of troops. The Germans will help us to wipe out the Normanov lackeys once and for all. But there are a few things we need to do before that. Seeing that the other party had almost accepted his opinion, Prince Lvuff began to discuss with the other party the specific steps of the action..........

"Protect the two Izmail-class battleships in the shipyard that are being outfitted...... There are also related accessories and facilities. And the shipbuilders, we have to make the whole shipyard still functioning after the incident. By the way, there are enough guards left behind in case they are destroyed by some hostile elements. Prince Lvov deliberately emphasized.

"Russia does not need a navy now, and it will not need it for a long time to come. Why do we have to let these two Gold Eaters build? Was it intended as a floating battery for the defense of St. Petersburg? Kornikov asked with some doubts, these two battleships are really almost finished, and it is really a pity to throw them away, but in extraordinary times, every ruble must be used in the right place. So Kornikov preferred to put them at the shipyard rather than continue to finish.

"We can exchange it for more than 50,000 prisoners of war and a lot of weapons and ammunition! The Germans said. As long as the two ships and the ammunition and supplies attached to them can be safely handed over to the Germans, then they can provide us with some prisoners of war and weapons in advance. It's a great deal. The Germans would organize convoys of convoys to arrive in St. Petersburg directly from the Gulf of Finland. Of course, we also need to buy some Russian naval officers and sailors to operate this battleship, and as far as I know, some of the officers and men who were originally intended to be assigned to these two giant ships were not transferred to the Tallinn front. They're still in the shipyard, find them, and control them! Prince Lvov said..........

"What about Essen? If something happens at the shipyard, Essen will definitely get the news that if he abandons Tallinn and sails back, my troops will not be able to stop the attack of the 14-inch guns. He would have completely destroyed the entire shipyard and everything that could be reached by the guns of the ship. If he is accompanied by the Marines, our situation will be very dangerous if they are on the Emperor's side. Kornikov voiced his concerns.

"Essen? He didn't have much to live. The German High Seas Fleet has completed the blockade of the Tallinn area from the sea, and even if Essen wants to break through now, it will be too late, they will be torn to pieces by the powerful High Seas Fleet, you know, this time the Germans sent a full 14 super dreadnoughts! All the super dreadnoughts are here, and Essen doesn't even have a chance! Prince Lvov said.

"I'm relieved, in addition, the German Army must be guaranteed to contain Kolchak's troops, his troops are still very combative, what to do with Nicholas II? This is a tricky question. Kornikov was convinced that since the safety of the sea could be guaranteed, the only thing that could make him jealous in the end was Kolchak's troops.

"Don't worry, Kolchak's troops have not received aid from Huaxia for a long time, most of the supplies have been provided to Denikin, and now he is a toothless tiger without fear, and there are those factory owners and bankers standing behind us, who will provide us with a lot of money. We still have prisoners of war and weapons returned by the Germans, and I really can't think of any other force that can stop us from succeeding. ”…………。

"Another thing is that we have to find the government's gold, which Nicholas II almost emptied to pay for the purchase of weapons from Huaxia, but not all of this gold went to Huaxia. The new government needs this gold. Prince Lvov emphasized.

"Damn, even you don't know where all this gold is, how can I, a soldier, know?" Although he said so, the importance of this matter still made him have to pay attention to it, after all, during the war, rubles are no different from waste paper, and only real money has real purchasing power and can be recognized. "I'll go find it...... Hopefully, the gold is still in Russia. ”

While Princes Lvov and Kornikov were plotting a mutiny, careerists with the same goals in other parts of Russia were buying troops and expanding their wings. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Tsar's rule is about to fall under the domestic and external difficulties. Ordinary civilians are powerless to change this reality, they can only be used as cannon fodder as tools. Some of the upper echelons and those with the army in their hands planned to use the opportunity for greater good. Even if the force they were going to rely on was Germany, the country that attacked them and ultimately pushed them to a dead end. But they can still make excuses for themselves! For example, to save the country or something..........

At this time. The last troops loyal to the Tsar remained on the front line against the German onslaught. The toughest of these forces are being used to defend Tallinn, but with the German Navy and land forces increasingly breaking down, the Russian forces near the Tallinn Line are about to come to an end. The last main fleet of Tsarist Russia was forced to make a choice: to rush out of the harbor and be killed, or crouch in the harbor and be killed.

"What? The St. Petersburg shipyard and the naval shipyard have not been destroyed yet? The mine-laying operation in the port is not yet complete? They are treason! Enraged, Essen slammed his pipe on the table. The force was so great that the pipe broke in two. The purpose of holding Tallinn was to give the rear time to completely destroy these factories, and now, with the Germans gradually opening up the Gulf of Finland and encircling themselves in Tallinn, the opposing fleet is likely to move directly east to St. Petersburg. It's almost too late!
