Chapter 786 There is a successor
Little Nicholas, who was born in 1856, is nearly seventy years old. He is the only remaining veteran of four dynasties in Russian politics and is known as the strongest talker in the League of Nations. His stroke is undoubtedly a great loss to the League of Nations.
Without Little Nicholas, the League of Nations would have lost a lot of fun. We will never see Little Nicholas furiously criticizing the representatives of Britain and France again.
George immediately took little Nicholas back to Alexandria, and formed a medical team for little Nicholas. He strictly ordered little Nicholas to stop drinking, actively cooperate with treatment, and strive for a speedy recovery.
"If you ask me to stop drinking, you might as well kill me!"
Nicholas Jr.'s highest record in Geneva was to drink 250 bottles of champagne in one day. This was a record set at a certain banquet, and it was not the work of Nicholas Jr. alone.
"More than 500,000 people in Russia have strokes every year, and 400,000 people die from strokes. Don't you want to contribute to the treatment of strokes?"
George's angle is tricky.
Russians love to drink. Ordinary people do not have such superior medical conditions as Little Nikolai. Stroke and even death are normal. An ordinary Russian consumes an average of 20 liters of vodka every year, and there is no upper limit to the amount of alcohol he can drink.
Regarding drinking, there is a jingle that goes, "One person has a ton of wine, whoever drinks it first will leave first."
There are some drunkards in Russia. One liter of wine a day is just like having fun. If you calculate it this way, it will last about three years.
"So many?"
Little Nikolai was surprised that there were so many like-minded people in Russia.
George spread his hands, there were indeed so many.
"George, I'm 70 years old. Even if I actively cooperate with treatment, I don't have a few more years to live. Can't you just let me spend the last days of my life happily?"
Little Nicholas is miserable. What he pursues is the quality of life. Instead of living in grievance, it is better to live happily day by day.
"No!"
George is decisive and every Russian must do their best for the development of Russia.
"As the Grand Duke of Russia, you have received a salary for 70 years from the day you were born. This is your obligation."
"Can I pay you back the money?"
Little Nicholas and Anastasia had no children, and money meant nothing to little Nicholas.
"Do you think this is a round sum of money?"
George has a black face. He is such an old man and has no consciousness at all.
Bobov had a consciousness. He knew that the British came with bad intentions, so he immediately evacuated all non-combatants in Port George to the Grand Duchy of Yuriev and the Pilbara region deep inland.
The railway between Port George and the Pilbara has been completed, and the iron ore accumulated in Port George has been transported to the Grand Duchy of Yuriev. If the British army launches an attack on Port George, they will be attacked head-on by 4,000 Cossacks.
These 4,000 Cossacks are veterans of the World War. Their commander is Colonel Daniel King, who has experienced both the World War and the Russian Civil War.
The buildings in Port George are full of Russian style, with extensive use of reinforced concrete. Each building is square and can be used as a fortress.
After Theo declared independence, Colonel Daniel King returned to his familiar military uniform and was promoted to the rank of major general as commander of the defense of Port George.
Although the number of soldiers commanded by Daniel King was small, their training and equipment had obvious advantages over the British army. Not only did Daniel King hoard a large amount of weapons and ammunition in the Pilbara, but Port George also had a secret weapon - a submarine force.
Two months ago, Port George secretly purchased six submarines from the Grand Duchy of Yuriev.
Coincidentally, Daniel King has sailors who have retired from the Russian Navy, so these six submarines have now formed combat effectiveness and can pose a threat to the British Navy.
"If the British army attacks, we will have to abandon Port George and retreat to the interior."
Daniel King is fully aware of the difficulties.
During the World War, the Russian army in the Balkans relied on sufficient strategic depth and sufficient logistics to always take the strategic initiative and not give the enemy any chance.
Theo's strategic depth is sufficient. Once the British army blocks Port George, Port George will be isolated and helpless.
Daniel King was fully prepared and had stockpiled 1.5 million artillery shells and 150 million rounds of ammunition in the Pilbara. The Pilbara also had an air force consisting of 20 fighter jets and 4 transport aircraft. The British army had no intention of blockading Port George. easy.
"You are the defense commander, you have the final say."
Bobov took the initiative to give up power, retreated to the second line, and devoted himself to supporting work.
"You should go to Coconut City as soon as possible."
Daniel King hopes that Bobov will leave as soon as possible and Coconut City will be safer.
Although he is well prepared, he is not afraid of anything but the unexpected. Bobov holds many secrets of Yuriev Mining Company. If they fall into the hands of the British, it may trigger a conflict or even a war between Britain and Russia.
"No, I will not leave. If necessary, I will fight until the last moment like you."
Bobov lifted up his coat and showed Danielkin the Tokarev pistol he was carrying.
The Tokarev pistol was developed by Tokarev, the designer of the Tula Arsenal, on the basis of the M1911 pistol designed by John Browning. It uses 9mm bullets produced by the Amur Arsenal and was adopted by the Russian military. As a standard pistol.
Almost everyone in Port George has a Tokarev pistol and it is widely used.
While Port George is preparing for the war, The Pass, the capital of Western Australia, is deeply divided. Some pro-British MPs believe that they should compromise with Canberra and remain in the Australian Federation. Western Australia Governor Andrew Gordon is resolute. He has had enough of the arrogance of the British and the selfishness of Canberra, and is determined to resolutely safeguard the interests of Western Australia through independence.
"If you don't agree, please leave. Don't forget that you are MPs elected by Westerners. You should safeguard the interests of Westerners and the interests of Westerners, not serve London and Canberra."
Gordon denounced those members who were not firm in their stance at the plenary session of the West Coast Parliament and could not pin their hopes for West West's independence on the generosity of the British.
In order to fight for independent status, the Irish fought against the British for three years despite internal and external troubles. They did not give in even though the president and commander-in-chief were killed in the battle. They finally succeeded in winning independent status and gained the respect of the world.
If Theo's independence comes to an end because of Canberra's veto, Theo will become the laughingstock of the world.
"The Royal Navy has left India and is marching towards Parth. Can we withstand the Royal Navy's attack?"
Country Party MP Stanley Victor is a standard opportunist who doesn't want to pay any price.
"We should withdraw the troops from Kalgoorlie and transfer the troops from Port George to strengthen the defense capabilities of The Pass."
Speaker Brian Howard was worried and hoped to force the British army to retreat with a stand-alone attitude.
"Gentlemen, give up all illusions and prepare to fight!"
Andrew Gordon served as interim president of the Republic of West following the referendum in West, which would have held its first general election in March next year without the intervention of the Royal Navy.
"You cannot kidnap all Theosians on your chariots based on your personal desires."
Stanley Victor was furious. All his wealth was in Pas and he did not want to be destroyed in the war.
"No! Independence is the collective will of all Siouxians, and we as Siouxians voted for it——"
Andrew Gordon was making an impassioned speech when Stanley Victor suddenly pulled out his pistol.
"Fuck you!"
Stanley Victor hadn't loaded the gun yet.
A police officer on the scene drew his gun faster and fired the gun at Stanley Victor.
Boom!
Stanley Victor fell in a pool of blood, and the entire venue was in chaos.
Andrew Gordon was quickly left from the parliament hall surrounded by several entourage and security personnel.
The sound of gunfire was like a signal, and hundreds of armed men suddenly appeared and attacked the Parliament building.
"STOP!"
The policeman on duty in front of the Parliament Building was caught off guard and shot down.
The group stormed into the Capitol and killed everyone on sight.
Andrew Gordon boarded the armored car in the underground parking lot, looking confused.
"This is a shameless attack from London and Canberra, war has broken out!"
Gordon's security chief, Joseph, is a retired Romanian military officer with rich experience.
"Send telegrams to Russia and Washington, and to Paris and Berlin, we need their support."
Gordon's voice was shaking, not from fear but from excitement.
On December 6, the new Russian Ambassador to the League of Nations, Grand Duke Andrei Alexandrovich, publicly expressed his support for the Republic of West Asia at the League of Nations plenary session.
Andrei was the eldest son of Grand Duke Alexander Mikhailovich and Grand Duchess Xenia Alexandrovna, sister of Nicholas II, and Grand Duchess Alexander Mikhail Nikolayev The fourth son of Grand Duke Qi.
Alexander is Xenia's cousin.
"This is an internal matter of the Commonwealth and Russia has no right to interfere."
The new British ambassador to the League of Nations, Austin Chamberlain, has a poker face and is the brother of former ambassador to the League of Nations, Neville Chamberlain.
The position of ambassador to the League of Nations was considered to be the hottest post in Britain, and no one was interested in it. Austin Chamberlain was the British Foreign Secretary and had unshirkable responsibilities.
Austin Chamberlain thought that Britain's environment in the League of Nations would improve after Nicholas Jr. left office.
Unexpectedly, Russia's second ambassador to the League of Nations was another Grand Duke, and this Grand Duke's attitude towards Britain was as bad as Nicholas Jr.'s.
Nicholas II, who was rejected by Britain, was Andrei's uncle.
Youdao was his mother's uncle. If Britain had accepted Nicholas II's exile, Nicholas II's family would not have disappeared.
"How many disgusting things have you done to make people angry, first in South Africa, then in Ireland, and now there is a war in Australia. Why can't you listen to the voice of the Australians?"
Andre was sarcastic and sarcastic. The hatred of country and family was superimposed. The League of Nations was another occasion to publicly insult Britain. Andre would not miss any opportunity.
