Struggle in Russia

If you are not crazy, you will not survive. For the young Russian elites who are in despair and madness, since the Tsar does not give them a way to go, they can only deprive the Tsar of their way of life. As the saying goes, they have to die together. I have to drag you back together.

No way, whoever makes a rabbit bite people when it is in a hurry? Since Nicholas I unprecedentedly strengthened his domestic control and adopted an unprecedented high-pressure policy, it was destined that there would be an unprecedented struggle between imperial power and human rights.

When the power in the hands of the descendants of Nicholas I is still strong, or when the conservative class in Russia can still control the situation, they may still be able to suppress it. It was nothing more than a series of assassinations against the Tsar, and even if it succeeded, it would not change the overall situation.

But as Russia's national power weakens, or it does not progress so fast compared with other powers, the long-standing social conflicts will explode in an instant. The failure of the Russo-Japanese War in 1905 almost detonated this huge bomb, but in the end it was barely supported by Nicholas II, but more than ten years later, when the unprecedentedly fierce World War I exhausted the last breath of the Russian conservative class After getting angry, when that bomb finally went off, it was devastating.

Looking at the ending of Nicholas II's family or the direct line of the Romanov family, it was a horrible sight. It seems that this family is quite miserable, but isn't this tragedy caused by generations of tsars in their family?

To put it bluntly, this family is completely unworthy of sympathy, and it is not surprising that the entire family or even the nine clans were wiped out.

People are watching, or it is not that they do not report that the time has not arrived, but when the time comes, it will be called brilliant!

Think about it, even noble elites like Dmitry Milyutin were almost driven crazy by this family. Can the more radical elites behind them not eat their flesh raw!

Of course, Count Rostovtsev did not destroy the Romanov family, let alone eat its flesh or crush it to ashes. In the end, Count Rostovtsev was just a conservative reformist, and he never thought of sending the king and queen to the guillotine like the French Revolution.

What Count Rostovtsev wanted to do was to weaken the power of the tsar and formulate a constitution for Russia that was basically acceptable to everyone. He was still following the old path of constitutional monarchy.

So it is impossible for him to encourage young people to kill the king and the family. He just wants to tell Dmitry that if you want to reform, you must see the conservatism of the Romanov family, and you cannot pin all your hopes on a particularly enlightened family. For the monarch, it is doomed to despair.

It is impossible for Nicholas I to be enlightened, just like his grandmother Catherine the Great, the famous empress was also relying on an iron fist to tame Russia, and like his son Alexander, if he hadn't been driven to a dead end, wouldn't he? subject to change.

"Our majesties are all bastards!" Count Rostovtsev said with a sneer,

"You tell them in a kind and gentle manner that if you don't change, you will have great consequences. They will never listen or believe it. They only believe in the power in their hands and just want to keep all the power. Hold it tightly in your hand. Whoever wants to weaken their power is their life and death enemy!"

Speaking of this, Count Rostovtsev sneered: "But they never thought that the power in their hands was not innate, and they never thought whether their abilities were worthy of these powers. They're all misers of power, that's all!"

"If they are allowed to do it, then the future of Russia will be a dead end! As loyal patriots, as a thorough Russian, we cannot just watch them lead Russia to a dead end!"

"But I have no intention of killing kings and lords. I am not a mountain party, and I don't want to be Napoleon II! What I want is the Russian "Bill of Rights"!"

Speaking of this, Count Rostovtsev suddenly waved his arms passionately, and said eloquently: "Back then, the mere British Isles embarked on the road of rapid development and growth through the constitutional law... Everything that British islanders can do There is no reason why our Russia, which has a vast land and abundant resources, cannot do it!"

"I believe that as long as we limit the tsar's power and reform politics, our development speed will far exceed any era! Only those old and stubborn people limit us! Remove their obstacles, and there will be a bright road ahead of us!"

At this time, not only Count Rostovtsev, but even the decadent Dmitri fell into intoxication. They seemed to see the future of Russia, an extremely powerful Russia that surpassed everything! And this is exactly what the Russian elites of all ages have been looking forward to!

After a long time, Dmitry sighed leisurely, and said to Count Rostovtsev: "Count, you are the most outstanding demagogue I have ever seen! I must admit, you have me fascinated!"

Count Rostovtsev smiled and said: "My friend, I am not a demagogue. I can't confuse those old-fashioned and stubborn people, because they don't have Russia in their hearts at all, and they don't care about Russia's future at all. It’s just that those pots and pans at home will never put Russia’s interests first!”

Speaking of this, he snorted contemptuously again: "Even including our Majesty and our crown prince, Russia is not the first in their hearts. They just want to maintain their family's privileges for generations, and they can sell them for power." Everything, including the sale of the soul and the sale of Russia!"

Dmitry listened quietly, and Count Rostovtsev changed his usual reticence and began to speak impassionedly: "So since 1825, I know that I must never expect to cooperate with them, because they will never We will not cooperate, we have to pick up a whip and whip their asses hard like Peter the Great and Catherine the Great, forcing them to follow our path! Only in this way can our dreams and hopes be realized! "

"So what are you going to do?" Dmitry asked.

"It's very simple!" Earl Rostovtsev's eyes radiated scorching light, "Our strength is still too weak, and the cage made by His Majesty is too strong. It cannot be broken through only by our strength. That cage! So we must use external forces!"

Dmitry asked curiously: "External power? How to use it?"

Count Rostovtsev was very satisfied with Dmitry's keenness. If it were his stupid brother, he would definitely ask who is the external force? It is obvious that Dmitry knows what external power is, and what he is puzzled or more interested in is how to use it!
