Chapter 664 Liquidation
Thieves who rebel will certainly deserve to die.
There are not many innocent people in the empire.
George actually couldn't figure it out. There was obviously a better way to deal with it, so why did he have to try it by himself?
As a grand duke, what kind of woman can’t get his hands on? Kirill’s wife is the ex-wife of the queen’s brother. She needs to have a certain appearance, a status, and a full emotional value. Why should she be violated? maid?
To kill after violating, only a pervert would do such a thing.
George had no tolerance for this kind of behavior.
The liaison officers from various Balkan countries were also surprised by George's vigorous and resolute actions.
Little Felix was not surprised, he had learned enough lessons through Rasputin.
"Kirill is a fool. Regardless of this incident or not, he will die of stupidity sooner or later."
At the private banquet of Prince Stowe of Montenegro, little Felix spoke eloquently.
The Yusupov family is a major financial backer in Constantinople and Adrianople. The cumulative investment in the two places has reached 150 million rubles. Therefore, little Felix has become the most popular person at the banquets of princes from various countries. Welcome guests.
It should be noted that after Nicholas abdicated, Constantinople used gold rubles, and the paper rubles issued by St. Petersburg were no longer in circulation.
Constantinople is preparing to issue its own ruble.
“The Grand Duke is too cruel to do this——”
Prince Alfred of England was the son of Grand Duchess Maria Alexandrovna, George's only sister.
"If this happened in the UK, how would you, the UK, handle it?"
Little Felix is a small supporter of George and does not allow anyone to slander George.
“Such a thing would never happen in England.”
Alfred did not accept the offer.
"Yes, the British usually die at the hands of lunatics and tramps, or in accidents. Who would kill with their own hands-"
Auguste returned to Adrianople to continue being his archbishop, The liaison officer of the Kingdom of Bulgaria was replaced by Polis's cousin Joseph, Mikhail's youngest son.
Joseph pointed the finger at the hypocrisy of the British.
This kind of thing will not happen in the UK, not because the British aristocrats abide by the law, but because the British aristocrats' criminal methods are more subtle and not as unscrupulous as the Russian aristocrats.
Before the Glorious Revolution, the British aristocracy was no better than the Russian aristocracy.
"The Grand Duke should end the chaos in St. Petersburg as soon as possible."
Brent Bauer does not care about the life and death of the Russian nobles. There are no nobles in France anymore.
This is also wrong. The French aristocracy has not disappeared, but has continued to influence France in a more hidden way.
Just like the Yusupov family, even if they lose their title of duke, no one can ignore the wealth of the Yusupov family.
Smart people will actively adjust to the development of the times during social changes.
A fool like Kirill can only become a sacrifice of the times.
"The Grand Duke knows what to do and doesn't need anyone to tell him what to do."
Little Felix was in a bad mood.
Just now, St. Petersburg and the Germans signed the "Brest-Litovsk Agreement."
The signing of the Brest-Litovsk Treaty was full of twists and turns. Because the conditions proposed by the Germans were too harsh, it caused huge controversy in St. Petersburg. Those in favor hoped to buy time for Russia through the Brest-Litovsk Treaty.
The opposition is worried that the content of the contract will arouse the anger of the Russians.
The Second Provisional Government voted on the contract and the result was that it did not agree to sign it.
Hindenburg did not give the Second Provisional Government any breathing space and ordered the German troops on the front line to launch an attack.
The Second Provisional Government has begun to decommission troops in batches. There are no more soldiers on the front line. The German army marched straight in without encountering any resistance.
The Second Provisional Government was forced to return to the negotiating table.
When negotiations resumed, the conditions proposed by the Germans became even more stringent.
This time the Second Provisional Government did not resist and signed the contract directly.
The "Brest-Litovsk Treaty" consists of 14 main articles, 5 annexes and 7 supplementary treaties. Its main contents are: the signing parties declare an armistice, the Russian army disbands its troops, and the warships disarm.
Russia gives up its jurisdiction and sovereignty over Poland, Lithuania, Courland, Livland and Estland, recognizes the independence of Ukraine and Finland, and immediately separates itself from Finland, Ukraine and the Åland Islands, Ardahan, Karl Withdraw troops from Sri Lanka and Batumi areas.
Russia paid 6 billion marks in compensation to Germany.
According to the contract, Russia will lose 3.23 million square kilometers of territory.
The news reached St. Petersburg, and George immediately announced the specific contents of the "Brest-Litovsk Agreement" to the public.
Because selling Alaska to the United States was called "a humiliation of power and humiliation" by Asia 2, the amount of Alaska sold was only 1.7 million square kilometers.
The Second Provisional Government ceded 3.23 million square kilometers at once, an unprecedented amount of space.
The total area of Germany before the outbreak of the war was only 590,000 square kilometers.
The Second Provisional Government probably also knew that the contents of the Brest-Litovsk Treaty were too harsh, so it did not dare to announce the specific contents of the contract to the public.
Everyone who knows the Brest-Litovsk Treaty is asking, is this true? While disclosing the contents of the Brest-Litovsk Agreement, George announced that he would not recognize the legitimacy of the Brest-Litovsk Agreement.
At the same time, he ordered Vasily and Andrei, who were gearing up, to immediately send troops to St. Petersburg.
In the past winter, Vasily and Andrei had made preparations, and the High Army was ready to attack St. Petersburg with blood.
The interim government has not given up communicating with George. The latest condition it has offered is to hand over all areas including Crimea, Constantinople, and all areas east of Yekaterinburg to George's control in exchange for George's recognition of the interim government.
The Provisional Government no longer demands George's loyalty. As long as George does not attack St. Petersburg, the Provisional Government is willing to coexist peacefully with George.
George did not refuse to communicate with the interim government, allowing the interim government to maintain hope for peace.
At the same time, the troops were ordered to prepare for battle.
The strength of the Gaori Army commanded by Vasily and Andrei has increased to 800,000.
George divided the Gaori Army into three parts. The main army group led by Vasily consisted of about 400,000 people.
Andre assisted in the attack with 250,000 troops.
The Gaori Army commanded by Runev has the smallest number, only 150,000, but there are also about 150,000 Russian troops, which are used to pacify the local area.
After the combat order was issued, Vasily was the fastest, and the first batch of combat troops boarded the train in only 12 hours.
Vasily and Andrei had a clear division of labor. Vasily led the main force to march directly to St. Petersburg. Andrei led the Third Balkan Army to cooperate with the 13th Army commanded by Ruzsky to advance towards the Baltic Sea to prevent the German attack.
The forward of Vasily's Second Army was the highly decorated Ryugyong Division.
Shortly after the Ryukyong Division set off, the railway was damaged by the Workers' Guards, and the division commander Vladimir ordered the troops to advance on foot.
The equipment level of the Ryugyong Division is second to none among the Koil Corps. It is not only equipped with heavy artillery, but also armored fighting vehicles.
In addition to railways, roads were also severely damaged, all bridges were blown up, towns were burned, and people were displaced.
Spring has not yet entered Russia in March, and the snow has not yet melted. Without the shelter of houses, people will freeze to death at night.
This is why George is unwilling to fight in the winter.
Due to carrying a large amount of heavy equipment, Ryu Kyung's speed was seriously slowed down. 48 hours after launching the attack, it only advanced 40 kilometers.
Fortunately, George had a backup plan.
After leading the Baltic Fleet back to Kronstadt Naval Base, Peter could command more than 50,000 troops, including 20,000 land troops.
The number of troops Mannerheim can use reaches 150,000, which is already the limit of Finland.
Peter and Mannerheim formulated three attack plans to attack St. Petersburg by sea and land.
The provisional government also knew that after losing the Kronstadt naval base, St. Petersburg was no longer in danger.
Before signing the Brest-Litovsk Treaty, the provisional government decided to move the capital to Moscow.
At the same time as Vasily sent troops, the Kronstadt Naval Base issued an ultimatum to St. Petersburg, requiring St. Petersburg to surrender within 24 hours, otherwise the Baltic Fleet would join the Finnish army and launch an attack on St. Petersburg.
No one expected that after the provisional government moved the capital, the person in charge of St. Petersburg would be former State Duma Chairman Rodzianko.
After Peter issued an ultimatum to St. Petersburg, Rodzianko came to see Peter in a fishing boat.
"General, St. Petersburg is the capital of the empire, you cannot attack St. Petersburg."
Rodzianko hoped that Peter could bypass St. Petersburg and attack Moscow.
“Are you now the former Chairman of the State Duma, or the mayor of St. Petersburg appointed by the Provisional Government?”
Peter and Mannerheim were present at the same time, neither of them had the slightest expression on their faces. smile.
"Anything goes, I just hope that St. Petersburg will not be harmed-"
Rodzianko was ashamed. The Tsar abdicated while he was chairman of the State Duma, which was a serious dereliction of duty on his part.
Constantinople no longer recognizes the provisional government, so the identity of mayor of St. Petersburg is illegal for Peter.
“St. Petersburg is the place where I was born, and I don’t want St. Petersburg to be harmed - but it is you and your incompetent colleagues who have caused the most serious harm to St. Petersburg. You-you-can’t- -Forgive!”
Peter said word for word that all guilty people must be accounted for.
"I know, my sin is unforgivable, I just hope-"
Rodjianko's face was full of bitterness, he did not expect this result.
"If it is hope, then go to the church to pray. This is not a place for you to make a wish."
Mannerheim will not let anyone who has hurt Nicholas go.
Rodzianko only stayed at the Kronstadt Naval Base for less than half an hour and took a small boat back to St. Petersburg.
That night, Rodzianko committed suicide in his residence.
Rodzianko served in the Queen's Guards as head of the Legion of Honor and worked in the Winter Palace. He also became Chairman of the State Duma with the support of Nicholas.
It can be said that everything Rodzianko had was given by the empire, but what he gave Nicholas in return was: to end the empire with his own hands.
This decision also ended his own life.
