Bulgarian Empire

Chapter 117, The Real Tsar

By December, the Russian Empire has become a country of ice and snow. This winter, the people of St. Petersburg are extremely sad. There is a lack of coal, food, and daily necessities. It boils down to "lack of money"!

Due to the hoarding of capitalists, ordinary people lack sufficient heating materials, and everyone has to huddle together in neighbors to warm each other.

Often a dozen or so people will be crowded into a small house with an area of ​​less than ten square meters. There is no way that the current price of coal is too expensive, and it is too extravagant to use it for heating. Ordinary people even cook with several families. To save money as much as possible.

This is only December, and the current temperature is not too low, and it can barely cope with this method. If it comes to the coldest January, how many people will be frozen to death in this winter!

It is not only coal that has increased in price, but other daily necessities and industrial products have also increased in price. The price of food has increased by three times, the price of broken promises has increased by 2.8 times, and the price of meat products has increased even more. Five times at most.

There is certainly an inflationary factor in this, but the core reason is that unscrupulous capitalists are hoarding in order to earn high profits.

As for the life and death of ordinary people, they obviously don't take it seriously. Anyway, the Russian Empire lacks everything, but it will not lack people!

Therefore, everything is increasing in price now, except wages are not increasing!

Not only St. Petersburg, but other cities in the Russian Empire also experienced price increases of varying magnitudes. Capitalists are indeed a kind of creature. While prices are skyrocketing, the wages of ordinary people in the entire Russian Empire have no tendency to rise at all!

Chrisky is an ordinary mechanical engineer, working in a machinery factory in St. Petersburg, with a salary that is twice as high as that of ordinary workers. It stands to reason that his life should be very good.

It's a pity that the good days only existed before the outbreak of the war. With the outbreak of the world war, the price of goods in Russia rose sharply, and the good days of Krisky were over.

Although he is an engineer with top-notch technical abilities, his status in the factory is not very good. He is similar to ordinary workers. He has to work on the production line, has endless shifts, and knows The wages were deducted for no reason, and only when there was a problem with the machinery, the factory management would think of him as an engineer!

He came to the factory early this morning as usual, and he heard everyone talking about it. He roughly understood that because of the needs of the war, they needed to work an extra hour a day.

There is no doubt that this time it is unpaid overtime again. Anyone who dares to refuse, as usual, will be taught a lesson by the factory managers or thugs, and then sent to prison for the crime of deliberately sabotaging the production of war materials!

Crikis, like most ordinary workers, dared to be angry but did not dare to speak out. He had to endure it in order to support his family!

Even though their current working hours are as high as 14 hours, unscrupulous capitalists still dare to ask them to add another hour to work.

It is ironic that Russia actually implements an eight-hour working system, and they now have seven hours of "voluntary unpaid overtime"!

This kind of overtime intensity exists not only in the Russian Empire, but also in almost every country participating in the war. It's just that everyone's work is not as excessive as the Russians, and basically they all pay an overtime wage.

If history has not changed, the Russian working class will soon have another "general strike"!

Don't get me wrong, this is not self-organized by the working class, they simply don't have this ability, even the Bolshevik party far away abroad does not have such a strong energy now!

It's the capitalists who want to usurp the rights of the state without going shirtless. So they often organized "general strikes" with Russian characteristics, demanding that the tsarist government reopen the Duma!

Namely: go to the streets to march and shout slogans during the day, and go back to the factory to work overtime at night,

Complete work tasks.

But this time it was obviously different. The Russian officers and soldiers who came back from the front line to accept the commendation had already arrived in St. Petersburg one after another. Nicholas II was already very disgusted with the threat of capitalists.

Now he finally has a force that is completely under his control and has nothing to do with the capitalists. If he doesn't do anything, is he still a qualified "tsar"?

On December 18, Nicholas II held a military meeting in Gatchina Palace, a distance from St. Petersburg. The topic of the meeting was very simple. Summarize the reasons for the defeat of the Russian army in 1916, find out the reasons for the failure of the war, and investigate the relevant responsible persons!

If it is placed in the east, perhaps many people are wondering whether there will be any deeper meaning in it when the emperor did this.

After all, if it was a normal situation, why would Nicholas II hold this meeting in a military fortress outside St. Petersburg?

Whether it is to settle accounts after the fall, or to commend heroes, there are more suitable places in St. Petersburg than here!

Of course, Russia is still the Russia of the Tsar, and the waywardness of the Tsar is also a Russian tradition.

Isn't it just that the meeting place is in the Gatchina Palace, what's so strange? Thinking about his father, Alexander III directly moved his family to the Gatchina Palace and became a hermit!

For the convenience of work, the top officials of the Russian government also had to move here, and it took more than ten years to move! Compared with this, what Nicholas II did was no big deal!

At this moment, in the Gatchina palace, high-level Russian military officials gathered together. This time, there were no government officials participating. Nicholas II presided over the meeting as the supreme commander of the Russian army.

"It is with great sadness that I see you all here today, history will forever remember 1916, the year our great Russian Empire set two world records!

In the first half of the year, I achieved the largest victory in human history. Although this record was broken after only half a year, it is worth celebrating; in the second half of the year, we created the largest defeat in human history!

From the big victory to the big defeat, we only took nine months, and countless Russian sons and daughters paid their lives for it. Do you think I can feel happy?

Now that the matter has already happened, today I am going to investigate the reason and seek justice for these Russian sons and daughters who have given their lives!

Now I swear in the name of God, I, Alexandrovich, must find out the culprit for the defeat of the Russian army this time, and let them pay in blood! "

After finishing speaking, Nicholas II glanced at everyone, many people were frightened, and some people suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Obviously, this is not aimed at them. This time the Russian army was defeated. They may have made mistakes in command, but they definitely did not constitute the main reason for the failure of this battle!

After a pause, Nicholas II asked coldly again: "So what about you? Are you determined to seek justice for your dead brothers, subordinates, and comrades-in-arms?"

"Have!"

Although everyone's answers were uneven, their voices were very sonorous and powerful. Obviously, the Russian army has not completely rotted.

Nicholas II seemed very satisfied with everyone's reaction, and said with a smile: "Then show me your determination!"

Obviously, Nicholas II is forcing everyone to stand with him. The smart people have already guessed his purpose, but will anyone dare to withdraw at this time?

"I, Garcinia, hereby swear in the name of God that we must find out the culprit who caused our army's defeat, and seek justice for the dead Russian brothers and sisters. If we violate this oath, we will go to hell forever!"

There is no doubt that this was arranged by Nicholas II in advance. I know that everyone has tacitly chosen to play dumb. Anyway, this time they are not looking for their bad luck. Many people have disasters on their faces. The joy of the rest of life is fleeting!

"I, Oakland, hereby swear in the name of God that we must find out the culprit who caused our army's defeat, and seek justice for the dead Russian brothers and sisters. If we violate this oath, we will go to hell forever!"

...

With the first person taking the lead, the people behind all bit the bullet and swore to God whether they wanted to or not, and Nicholas II's goal was achieved.

In this era, everyone's beliefs are still very pious. If you swear an oath before God in front of everyone, if you dare to go back, don't want to continue to mess around.

By the time the last person took the oath, more than an hour had passed, but Nicholas II did not show any impatience.

"Very well, everyone is an excellent soldier of the Russian Empire, I believe that you will not do things like some people do things like eating inside and outside!

Now everyone summarizes the reasons for our failure in this battle!

Only when the reason is found, can the man behind the scenes be found; only when the man behind the scene is found out, can these blood-sucking moths attached to the Russian Empire be eliminated, and the current tragedy will happen again in the future! "

Admiral Brusilov said first: "Your Majesty, it is a strategic material!

After the war broke out, the ammunition we brought from the rear could not be used by our weapons at all.

In many cases, soldiers have to re-polish the bullets before they can be loaded into the magazine. Even if they are loaded, the bullets that can be fired are still less than half.

The problem with the shells was even more serious. Many shells fell directly after being fired, without exploding at all. Later, our soldiers picked him up again, and when they cut it, they were filled with mud!

I think poor-quality weapons and ammunition, and poor logistical supplies are the main factors that caused the failure of this war! "

Lieutenant General Nicola-Nikolaokas immediately added: "The aircraft that our air force can use now are all imported! Domestic aircraft are disposable products, and they are scrapped after one use. Our large number of excellent pilots Instead of dying on the battlefield, he died on a domestically-made plane!"

...

Come on, now everyone who is not a fool knows the purpose of Nicholas II, and if he doesn't know that everything will happen, he is really a fool!

After fighting such a big defeat, they must give an explanation to the people of the country. The best scapegoats have already appeared. If you don't know how to throw the blame to them and clear yourself of the crime of defeat, you won't be in your current position!

In line with the spirit of "dead friends, never dead poor people", the Russian military is naturally trying to smear the capitalists desperately. Of course, they are already very dark, and everyone just used exaggerated rhetorical techniques!

To sum it up: domestic rifles are fire sticks, domestic cannons are salutes, domestic aircraft are used to commit suicide...

Another thing is: the food sent to the front line is moldy, and the soldiers eat it and fight while having diarrhea. The casualties caused by food poisoning are greater than the casualties caused by fighting the enemy...

After a day of discussion, everyone smoothed out the logic and came to the unanimous conclusion: the main culprits that caused the defeat on the front line were the domestic unscrupulous capitalists and the corrupt officials within the government!

The unscrupulous capitalists took the benefits of the Allies and colluded with the domestic bureaucrats to send a large number of inferior weapons to the front line to harm the Russian army!

However, even if the heroic Russian soldiers defeated the enemy with these inferior weapons, the enemy had no choice but to pay a high price to buy these capitalists again and let them poison the food of the frontline troops, causing a large number of Casualties.

The casualties they caused to the Russian Imperial Army were more than twice the casualties caused by the Allies! Originally, the battle damage ratio of the two sides was 1:1, and the extra casualties were all poisoned to death by domestic capitalists.

Therefore, as long as these capitalist moths in the country are cleaned up, the great Russian army can immediately defeat the Allies and win the war!

The result Nicholas II wanted came out. Once the Russian military reached an agreement with him, the Russian capitalists would be finished soon!

"Here is a list of unscrupulous capitalists who caused millions of Russian soldiers to die in battle and displaced tens of millions of Russian people!

Now I authorize you to form an anti-rape committee immediately, lead troops to arrest these moths, and kill them on the spot if they resist!

The Caucasus Front Army is responsible for the east of the city, the Northern Front Army is responsible for the north of the city, the Western Front Army is responsible for the west of the city, the Southwest Front Army is responsible for the south of the city, and the navy and air force are responsible for the fish that slip through the net!

..."

Nicholas II's handling method is really "tsarist", simple and rude, just do it!

After convincing the high-level military officers and giving them time to prepare, a military order was issued immediately to let them start to act!

But I have to say that this is also very effective. Even if the news is leaked in such a short period of time, the capitalists will not even have time to escape. How can there be time to organize a counterattack?

The fly in the ointment is that such a thing can only be done once, and if it is done in St. Petersburg, the capitalists in other Russian cities will get the news, and there is no way to catch them all!

However, Nicholas II was not worried. As the capital of the Russian Empire, St. Petersburg gathered a group of the most powerful big capitalists in Russia, while the capitalists in other regions were much weaker.

As long as this group of capitalists in St. Petersburg is killed, the others are nothing to worry about. Even if they want to cause chaos, the millions of Russian troops in his hands are not just for display, they are enough to suppress any civil strife!

"Your Majesty, what if the City Guard intercepts it?" Admiral Brusilov asked worriedly

Nicholas II said murderously: "We gave them an order to let the city guards and police stay in the garrison obediently. If there are any who dare to come out to make trouble, just give me the rebels and wipe them out!"

"Yes!" Everyone answered in unison.
