Chapter 313 Aren’t you willing to guard the border for Nicky?


Chapter 313 Aren’t you willing to guard the border for Nicky?

If it was the Tsar's order, George would have to restrain himself to avoid irritating the Tsar and worsening his condition.

The Queen can just play for a while. She can play sisterly love with her British sister, but she must put the interests of the Russian Empire first.

George didn't take this matter to heart at first, but the next day Alexei and Pavel also came to see George.

After the military parade, Alexey went to Busan to inspect the new base of the Siberian Fleet.

A little bit of trivia: Alexeyev, the commander of the Siberian Fleet, followed Alexey’s path and rose to prominence.

In his early years, Alexeyev was Alexei's adjutant.

Alexei and the Siberian Fleet are still very satisfied with the new base in Busan.

Then what remains is to add new ships to the Siberian fleet.

This job is not easy to do either.

It was originally said that one of the newly built battleships built by Russia last year would be given to the Siberian Fleet.

After the news came out, both the Baltic Fleet and the Black Sea Fleet expressed strong opposition.

Alexeyev was very angry.

You eat meat and don’t even give me a sip of soup from the Siberian Fleet?

Alexei wants to assign the Siberian Fleet to the Amur Military District, largely because he wants to pass the blame. He does not want to quarrel between the three fleets and leave the trouble to George.

George refused to take over, causing the plan to go bankrupt.

Alexey went to Busan to appease Alexeyev.

Unlike Alexey, who is more or less down to business, Pavel has been having fun these days.

Gourmets, to put it mildly, just eat, drink and have fun instead of doing their job.

However, the Russian Empire was particularly tolerant of grand dukes like Pavel who were "not doing their job properly".

The Grand Duke spent his own salary on eating, drinking and having fun, which not only did not harm the interests of the empire, but also stimulated consumption.

I’m afraid of those grand dukes who clearly know their own inadequacies but don’t realize it, and cry and shout that they will dedicate themselves to the empire.

In comparison, Pavel is simply a saint.

In George's case, it is particularly obvious.

Alexey dug a hole for George as soon as he arrived in Vladivostok.

After Pavel came to Vladivostok, he went to the most famous restaurant in Vladivostok and cooked a copy of the food. If he couldn't finish it, he gave it away to others. The restaurant owner went crazy with joy.

Bavel went to the theater and booked the theater directly. After the performance, he was rewarded regardless of whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied. The theater owner and staff were also crazy about it. The more guests like this, the better.

Bavel is very generous when he goes shopping. Ordinary rich people feel sore about health care products, but Bavel just buys them for cars and doesn’t allow discounts. Who are you looking down on!

After eating, drinking and having fun, Pavel went to Mikhail and bought a piece of land next to Peter the Great Bay to build a palace.

See clearly that you are buying, not wanting.

Pavel doesn’t take advantage of his younger brother!

Two people who are completely different from each other come to find George together. There must be something wrong.

"George, you have to be prepared-"

Alexey said seriously.

"Japan?"

George thought Alexei had discovered something new when he went to Busan.

“St. Petersburg——”

Alexey’s expression was slightly gloomy.

Pavel also had a straight face, turning over and over in his hand a newly bought enamel snuff bottle.

“You and Nicky have such a good relationship, you don’t need me to remind you what to do.”

Alexey wanted to remind George that Yuriev and Romanov were family.

"What's wrong with Nicky?"

George's eyes turned red immediately.

"She was in St. Petersburg for the entire last year."

Pavel was not an idiot, he just didn't want to get involved in the mess in St. Petersburg.

Serge is Sergey's nickname.

Sergey’s position is the Governor of Moscow and the Commander of the Military District. He stayed in St. Petersburg for a whole year without returning to Moscow. This situation is usually considered to be treason.

The Tsar's condition began to deteriorate last year.

Not to mention that the Russian Empire has a tradition of queens seizing power. At least the grand dukes of the Romanov family have never relaxed their vigilance towards the queen.

Especially now that the queen has a sister who is a concubine in the UK.

Therefore, what George and his uncles and brothers are most worried about now is not the Tsar's body, but whether the Tsar's position can be handed over smoothly.

If the handover goes smoothly, everything will be normal in St. Petersburg, Pavel can continue to eat, drink and have fun around the world, and George can continue to be his Prince Yuriev.

If not, there will definitely be a bloody storm in St. Petersburg.

“No one can stop Nikki from becoming the czar!”

George must be Nikki’s staunch supporter, and no one can change this.

"You will come back to St. Petersburg with me in a few days. Then you will be responsible for Nikki's safety."

Alexey handed over the most important task to George.

To ensure the smooth transfer of imperial power, first of all, Nicholas must not have any accidents.

“No problem!”

George is duty-bound.

Every year when George returned to St. Petersburg, he would find several new faces around Nicholas, including several attendants arranged by the queen.

This is understandable. What mother doesn’t love her son?

But at the critical moment, there can be no outsiders around Nikolai——

The outsiders here refer to everyone outside the Romanov family.

Before Asan came to the throne, he had been living in Gatchina, far away from St. Petersburg. Nicholas had little contact with his cousins, and the one he had the most contact with was his uncle George.

George’s brothers are all decades old, so it’s a bit inappropriate to take the initiative to get close to Nicholas, it’s too obvious.

After Yasan's condition worsened, the British princesses went to Crimea many times to accompany Queen Maria because of their deep sisterly love.

It is normal for George, an uncle, to accompany Nicholas.

No wonder George performed so well in the Rovno military exercise. He is a member of the Russian royal family and the best future star of the Russian military. So it is most appropriate to give this job to George.

Compared with the smooth transfer of imperial power, nothing else is important.

There will definitely be no problems with the icebreaker at this time, so the New Year celebrations in Vladivostok have not yet ended, George and Anne boarded the ship and returned to St. Petersburg.

Anne doesn’t really want to go back to St. Petersburg.

But I didn’t ask why. It is important to read more and talk less at any time.

George's brothers were worried to death, but Nicholas knew nothing. He talked about Sani going to Germany to find him every day, and didn't care about the changes in St. Petersburg.

This is also understandable.

For the grand dukes of St. Petersburg, the queen is an outsider, and even the princess is an outsider. Only the tsar, Nikki, and the 14-year-old Prince Mikhail are their own.

For Nicholas, their family is their own.

Strictly speaking, including George, they are all outsiders.

An ideal is an ideal after all.

Reality is so fucked up.

Fortunately, Nicholas is still the same boy, and his relationship with George has not changed at all.

"George, are you going to take Anne back to Sigmaringen to visit relatives?"

Nicola's purpose is obvious.

“No, Anne no longer has any family in Sigmaringen——”

Nicholas felt disappointed.

“But there are still little sisters——”

Nicholas took a turn for the worse.

“So Anne invited her little sisters to come to St. Petersburg as guests.”

Nicholas was ecstatic.

"Ah ha ha ha ha - George, I knew it, I love you to death!"

Anne smiled without saying a word, looking at George with a slightly teasing look.

I promised not to be a light bulb!

George doesn’t want to be either.

But it doesn’t work improperly.

And it’s the kind that can’t even be driven away.

"George, why don't you and Annie go for a walk outside?"

Nicola is a dog, and he turned against others when he had Alex.

George is really leaving.

But we didn’t go too far, so we went out and turned left to find Oroja.

Nikolai is also big-hearted. Olga is still working as a servant by Nikolai's side and has not made any progress in so many years.

George is so kind to his friends, taking the initiative to seek a future for Orojia.

“Why go to Warsaw?”

Ologa is also a fool and does not seek to make progress.

“Don’t you want to guard the border for Nikki?”

George was righteous.

“Of course I do!”

Oluojia was ecstatic. His current military rank is still captain. After arriving in Warsaw, he will be promoted to major immediately.

The military rank is not important yet. The most important thing is that the position George promised Oroga is the deputy director of the Logistics Department of the Warsaw Military Region. There is no need to emphasize how lucrative this position is.

Although George has no control over the Warsaw Military District, this promise is equivalent to an appointment.

This is not the promise of George alone, but the joint promise of all the Grand Dukes of St. Petersburg.

If the commander of the Warsaw Military District dares to interfere with this——

It’s impossible. If he doesn’t even have this sensitivity, he deserves to be a captain for the rest of his life.

Oluojia went to Warsaw happily.

Not only did Nikolay have no idea what was in it, he also prepared a generous small gift for Oroga.

Olga came to Nikolai earlier than George.

Since even Olga has taken the initiative to apply to guard the border for Nicholas, George does not need to arrange what others should do.

Nelson and Anderson were both attendants arranged by the Queen to accompany Nicholas. George was not familiar with them.

Alfred served as Nicholas's captain of the bodyguard as a general attendant, and was a man of the Tsar.

This job will be done by Alfred, and George will be watching from the side.

"Why, aren't you willing?"

Alfred and George had a tacit understanding for a long time. Both of them were smiling, but if you look closely, their eyes were sinister.

Nilson wanted to speak, but was stopped by Anderson's eyes.

"Of course I am willing-"

Anderson is a smart man. If he dares to say no, he will not be able to walk out of Gatchina Palace alive today.

George doesn't know how to kill people.

So Anderson would just choke to death on champagne.

“Shall we say goodbye to His Highness?”

Nelson still wanted to struggle.

Alfred's eyes widened with murderous intent.

"Of course, I'm very happy. You are all emotional people and you should know what to do."

George and Alfred accompanied them to say goodbye to Nicholas.

Within just one week after George returned to St. Petersburg, the only attendant left beside Nicholas was Karl Mannerheim.

Karl Mannerheim was born in a declining Swedish aristocratic family in Askenin, Grand Duchy of Finland in the Russian Empire. He graduated from the Nicholas Cavalry School in St. Petersburg and was transferred to the Petersburg Guards Regiment in 1891. He served as lieutenant and was responsible for the security of Gatchina Palace.
