Chapter 657 What a drama
The Interim Executive Committee can not only remove George from his post, but also try him in absentia and sentence him to death.
The question is who to send to enforce it.
George is not Nicholas who has betrayed everyone.
George not only has millions of soldiers under his command, but also has the help of Bulgaria, Romania, Greece and other allies, and can also draw more colonial servants from East Asia.
The most important thing is that George's fiefdom of Amur is its own system and does not need to rely on St. Petersburg at all.
On the contrary, St. Petersburg's dependence on Amur industrial products is increasing.
George did not care about being "dismissed". What he hated now was not clowns like Kerensky, but the Grand Duke headed by Mikhail.
The fortress can only be breached from the inside. This is absolutely correct. The Russian Empire did not die at the hands of traitors or Nicholas, but was ruined by these greedy and shameless princes.
It’s just that Mikhail didn’t dare to succeed.
The most disgusting thing is that Mikhail kept a small tail for six months, which made George want to fight, but he couldn't find a suitable reason.
Pavel was equally disgusting. He was the first Grand Duke to defect, not only causing the morale of the Guards to collapse, but also giving legitimacy to the Provisional Government and the Provisional Executive Committee.
After Nicholas signed his abdication, Nicholas Jr. powered on and swore allegiance to the motherland and the new national system.
Subsequently, Grand Duke Alexander Mikhailovich and Grand Duke Boris Vladimirovich also wired their allegiance to the provisional government.
The dramatic thing is that after they turned on the power, they received an arrest warrant from the Provisional Executive Committee.
Alexander and Boris were arrested.
Little Nicholas fled to Constantinople in a hurry and asked George what he should do.
“Aren’t you loyal to the provisional government? Then go back to St. Petersburg and accept the punishment——”
George’s view of little Nicholas has changed.
Although little Nicholas is stubborn, little Nicholas is countless times stronger than Mikhail just because he refuses to become the regent.
It was through this that George confirmed that the chaos in St. Petersburg had nothing to do with little Nicholas.
Many rumors about the Empress and Rasputin in St. Petersburg first spread from the small circle of the royal family, because only members of the Romanov family can freely enter and leave the palace, and outsiders have no idea what is going on in the palace. Condition.
To put it bluntly, ordinary soldiers did not know that Rasputin existed, and they had no chance to interact with him.
"My allegiance is to the Provisional Government, not to the Provisional Executive Committee."
Little Nicholas is very sad, Anastasia is trapped in St. Petersburg, although she has not been arrested yet, But it has been placed under residential surveillance.
The situation changed so fast that little Nicholas was not prepared at all. All his properties were in St. Petersburg.
While issuing arrest warrants for members of the Romanov family, the Provisional Executive Committee also announced the confiscation of all property of the Romanov family.
"So did the provisional government you were loyal to protect you?"
George sneered, Grand Dukes like Little Nicholas were too naive and did not understand the cruelty of the power struggle.
Grand Dukes like Little Nicholas possess innate power and wealth. They can decide the fate of countless people with just their words.
So they have no idea how much those people who are dominated and fooled by them hate them.
Little Nicholas thought that by issuing a message, he could continue to retain power and wealth like the British nobles.
The initial political demand of the Provisional Executive Committee was for Nicholas to abdicate.
The political demand now has become to overthrow the empire.
It is ridiculous that the Russian Empire, known as the "European Gendarmerie" because of its suppression of Europe in 1848, was eventually overthrown by the people.
It’s hard to say who the “people” here are.
Of the 84 members of the Provisional Executive Committee, 63 are Hebrews.
"George, I know your relationship with Nicky. Nicky has been arrested, why don't you do something?"
Little Nicholas knows that with his George's Feelings were not enough for George to make up his mind.
George looked at his watch and asked little Nicholas to go to the lounge and wait for a while.
There is a lounge in George's office that is used for naps. Sometimes George works too late and lives directly in the office.
As soon as little Nicholas entered the lounge, Christie called and Colonel House arrived.
This is the second time Colonel House has come to Constantinople. The last time was to attend the wedding of Polis.
House was born into a wealthy banker family. His father, Thomas, was an agent of the European Rothschild family during the American Civil War.
House published an anonymous novel called "Philip Drew: The Manager" in 1912. In the novel, House showed amazing insights. He described in the book The future world is surprisingly similar to the future United States.
House served as an adviser to several Texas governors from 1894 to 1904, during which time he was awarded the honorary rank of colonel. He had no military experience.
House is also a Hebrew.
House is much smarter than the people on the Provisional Executive Committee. He came to Constantinople this time to represent Britain and France, hoping that George could continue to lead the Balkan Alliance against the Allies.
House expressed his regret for Nicholas's abdication.
George kept smiling without any disturbance in his heart.
Those who were trained in the United States and sent back to Russia were overwhelmingly Hebrews. More than half of the Hebrews on the Provisional Executive Committee had received training in the United States.
So who overthrew the Russian Empire?
"Marshal——"
House's name for George has changed. The last time he came to Constantinople, House also called George "the distinguished Grand Duke Yuriev" ".
"Marshal, if Russia continues to fight, it will inherit the gains of the Russian Empire in the war."
House drew the cake for George, regardless of whether George wanted to eat it.
"What does Russia's profits have to do with you Americans?"
George was curious. The United States has not yet participated in the war and is not qualified to talk about profits.
“The unrestricted submarine war launched by Berlin has seriously violated the free trade advocated by the United States of America. Washington is considering joining this just war to end the chaos in Europe.”
George disliked the sense of ownership shown by House.
What House means is that the United States is the savior of Europe.
You have to hurry up. Most restaurants in Paris refuse to serve Americans because of their rudeness. All they have to do is hang a sign on the door saying "Americans and dogs are not allowed" - —
This is not right either. Americans can enter anywhere dogs can enter.
Ekaterina took her dog to dine in Paris and was never refused.
"That's great!"
George seemed very happy and warmly welcomed the United States to join.
George knew that Americans were here to pick up bargains.
The claim that unrestricted submarine warfare affects free trade is nonsense. The real reason is that Germany has run out of foreign exchange and the United States has become unprofitable.
Britain and France are different from Germany. As time goes by, the industrial capabilities of Britain and France are rapidly improving, and they can gradually meet their own needs.
Germany was in blockade and lacked industrial raw materials and could only import them from the United States through Denmark.
Even the so-called "free trade" of the United States is nonsense.
When the international situation is favorable to the United States, the United States vigorously promotes free trade.
When the international situation is unfavorable, the United States increases tariffs and repeatedly jumps between the two.
The two-party system in the United States has given the United States ample reasons for its repeated jumps. Only then do people really understand how to play.
After seeing House off, George asked Christie to "invite" little Nicholas out.
Little Nicholas had fallen asleep on the couch by the window. There were a few empty bottles scattered on the carpet at hand.
This man is useless.
George’s biggest problem now is how to prevent the Balkan theater from being affected by St. Petersburg.
After Nicholas abdicated, within just one week, all Russian troops on the northern front established soldier committees, and the power of officers was severely dispersed.
The taste of power is so tempting, who can resist the temptation of power, especially those who have never had power.
But they don’t know that power is also dangerous.
The defense line of the Balkan Army has been connected with the Russian Army on the Northern Front. Vasily and Andrei were worried that the troops would be affected by the Russian Army on the Northern Front.
George sent a telegram to Vasily, asking the troops of the Kingdom of Romania to take charge of the defense line close to the Russian army on the northern front and physically isolate it.
Thanks to backward technology, the soldiers did not even have radios, so physical isolation was possible.
As for whether the Romanian army was affected by the Russian army on the northern front, that was Ferdinand's question.
Ferdinand did not abdicate. He issued an official document directly. Anyone who dares to shake the morale of the army will be shot to death without trial!
Ruzsky did not wait for Alexeyev to come, bid farewell to George, and prepared to return to the Northern Army.
George reminded Ruziski that if he returned to the Northern Army Group, he might be liquidated by the Hebrews.
Constantinople newspapers have begun to carry out lengthy reports on the evil deeds of the Hebrews. Now the people of Constantinople know that the reason why the empire is in chaos is all because of the Hebrews. caused by man.
"Marshal, as long as the empire needs me, I will be loyal to the empire."
Ruzyski's starting point is Russia.
"Is the current empire still an empire?"
George smiled bitterly. Although the Constitutional Convention had not yet voted, George knew that the empire was gone.
The Russian Empire finally died——
Ruziski didn't say anything, and he didn't expect it to happen like this.
Ruzsky forced Nicholas to abdicate, with the purpose of letting Nicholas pass the throne to Alexei, and then find a grand duke to be the regent to reduce the queen's influence on the empire.
It would be no problem for Nikolai to pass the throne to Mikhail. As long as Mikhail can toughen up, the empire can continue to fight.
I never expected that Mikhail, who had been jumping up and down some time ago to create a "tough" persona, would not dare to become the tsar because of fear. This completely broke people's last illusions about the Romanov family.
