Chapter 707 is on the verge of breaking out
Having dual nationality certainly gives you an extra talisman, but losing another nationality is not so bad that you can’t survive.
It is indeed very dangerous for some people with dirty butts.
The "demon wind" in Constantinople continues to blow.
After the Paris Peace Conference, Nicholas Jr. did not return to Constantinople immediately. Instead, he and his wife Anastasia went to the Kingdom of Montenegro to visit relatives.
At the Paris Peace Conference, the Kingdom of Montenegro finally got the access to the sea that it had been longing for. Nicholas I was very happy and received Nicholas Jr. as a standard for receiving a tsar.
The news of Russia's cancellation of dual nationality reached Cetinje, and little Nicholas and Anastasia had differences of opinion.
Anastasia is a Montenegrin princess. If she gives up her Montenegrin nationality and only retains her Russian nationality, Anastasia will lose her status as a princess.
“Why did George do this?”
Anastasia was very angry. Russia canceled dual nationality, and the royal family members were the ones most affected.
Members of the royal family have privileges. Even if they lose the privileges of the Russian Empire, they still have the privileges of the Kingdom of Montenegro.
If nothing else, if Anastasia travels to the UK as the Princess of Montenegro, the British government will receive Anastasia in the same way as a member of the royal family.
“No matter what George does, there must be a reason why he has no choice.”
Little Nicholas’s protection of George is also all-round.
After returning to Constantinople, little Nicholas may go to George's house to have a quarrel with George because of the cancellation of dual citizenship.
But as soon as he leaves George's house, little Nicholas's position must be consistent with Russia's.
Not even couples.
This is the concept that Nicholas Sr. has instilled in Nicholas Jr. since he was a child.
"Well, I want to see if George will let Sasha retain Russian citizenship."
Anastasia hopes that George will match his words and deeds.
Montenegro Nicholas shook his head speechlessly.
My daughter is indeed a bit short-minded.
Before Polis went to Bulgaria to become king, he was not a Bulgarian either.
If the Grand Duchy of Yuriev needs a king, just invite Alexander or Alexandra directly.
George himself may not ascend the throne, but he cannot stop his son from becoming the king, or his daughter from becoming the queen.
"I am ready to imitate the United Kingdom and implement a constitutional monarchy in the Kingdom of Montenegro."
Nicolas of Montenegro complies with public opinion.
That’s right, decentralizing power to parliament is the best way to transfer conflicts.
Whatever happens in the UK, the British always scold the Prime Minister, but nothing happens to the King.
Only when conflicts are irreconcilable, the king will punish the prime minister to thank the world, and then change the prime minister to continue to be the scapegoat, attracting firepower from the front.
The British nobles looked at it and thought, "If you, the king, can do this, so can we."
So in Britain, in addition to the House of Lords, which was composed of aristocrats, there was also a House of Commons, which was mainly composed of the bourgeoisie.
Let’s not talk about whether the parliament is efficient or not.
By doing this, at least the hereditary privileges of the king and nobles were preserved.
Montenegro Nikolai is already one step too late.
The Kingdom of Bulgaria has implemented a constitutional monarchy since last year.
So the Kingdom of Bulgaria’s annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as Croatia and Slovenia is not Polis’s responsibility at all, but Prime Minister Stamboliski’s too greedy.
Polisi took advantage of the constitutional monarchy to its extreme.
After the Kingdom of Bulgaria annexed the above-mentioned areas, it announced a series of assimilation policies. Among them, the strongest resistance from the local people was that they could only convert to Orthodox Christianity.
A large part of the reason why the situation in the Balkans is complicated is that each ethnic group has its own language and different living habits.
During the rule of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, there were no strict requirements for the beliefs of the various places under its jurisdiction. You believed whatever you believed.
The Austro-Hungarian Empire cannot be controlled either. The dual system determines the bulk status of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
The Kingdom of Bulgaria confirms that Orthodox Christianity is the only religion. Those who cannot accept it can leave. Leave the Kingdom of Bulgaria. There is not even a barbed wire fence on the border, so you can come and go freely.
If you don’t want to leave and don’t want to change your beliefs, then go to prison to reflect.
Stamboliski is arresting people in the front, and Polis and Queen Elizabeth are comforting them in the back. Today Polis is giving out sweets to the children, and tomorrow Elizabeth is going to visit the lonely elderly people with two barrels of oil and a bag of noodles. , the day after tomorrow I saw that the local people’s life was too difficult, so I simply exempted this year’s tax.
Who doesn't like such a king?
Stamboliski didn’t like it.
There is nothing Kostamboliski can do.
That’s the thing. Stamboliski doesn’t want to be prime minister, and there are people queuing up behind him.
Being a king is comfortable, the benefits belong to the king, and the blame belongs to the prime minister.
If you want to overthrow Polis's rule and become king yourself, you have to ask the 100,000 well-equipped and well-paid Guards, Polis's father-in-law, the King of Romania, and Russia's Grand Duke Yuriev if they agree.
“The right choice!”
Little Nicholas encouraged his father-in-law to have the courage to try.
With the advanced experience of the United Kingdom and the Kingdom of Bulgaria, this is not an attempt, but a doctrine. George was the one who had the courage to try.
After Russia abolished dual nationality, most Russians with dual nationality chose to retain Russian nationality. Only less than 10,000 people gave up their Russian nationality. Including their family members, the total number was less than 100,000.
The wealth owned by these ten thousand people still makes Werther heartbroken.
Guchkov asked George for advice. If George agreed, Guchkov would have a way to keep the money but not the people.
George admitted that he was indeed moved.
These people who have given up their Russian nationality are no longer Russians, and George has no psychological barriers to dealing with them.
But for the sake of Russia's national credibility, George allowed those people to leave Russia with their money.
Although Russia is not a country of immigrants, the demand for high-quality talents will never disappear at any time.
Sooner or later, those so-called dishonest countries in Europe and the United States will reveal their true colors as more feudal than the Russian Empire. By then, Russia, where everyone is equal, will have unparalleled appeal to ordinary people.
George remembered that the United States once slandered Red Russia, saying that during the Cold War, a large number of Russians fled Russia and came to the United States to embrace freedom.
This is indeed true.
But at the same time, many Americans and Europeans defected to Russia, but these Americans kept silent.
In Russia at that time, even ordinary workers could go to the Black Sea to enjoy a vacation after working hard for a year.
In order to counter Russia's attraction to ordinary people, Europe and the United States began to increase social welfare.
In other words, without Russia, ordinary British people would have to devote their youth to their children and grandchildren.
Not long ago, the UK passed a decree limiting the working hours of women and children to 48 hours per week.
Did you see that in 1919, the children of ordinary British people did not go to school and had to work from childhood?
This can explain why the British and French reacted so strongly after Russia implemented nine years of compulsory education.
As time goes by, the British and French will become more and more dissatisfied.
In order to meet the needs of the people, Britain and France will have to become welfare societies.
Russia does not promote welfare, but emphasizes that if you pay, you will get something.
Russians get free houses and land as long as they go to Siberia.
The premise is that you have to go.
The land must be fully utilized.
These houses and land are not allowed to be sold or rented. If they are not fully utilized, the Russian government has the right to take them back.
The reason for emphasizing this point is that some Russians who think they are smart, after going to Siberia to get free houses and land, rent them to those who are really willing to farm at relatively low prices, and then return home by themselves Go to the city and become a rentier class.
So this leads to the personal credit bankruptcy system.
Credit bankruptcy and financial bankruptcy are not the same thing.
In Russia, there is still a chance of recovery from economic bankruptcy. If you cannot repay the money you owe to the bank, you can negotiate to reduce or reduce interest, extend the repayment period, etc. to relieve the financial pressure of the debtor.
If the credit goes bankrupt, not only will the individual no longer be able to get a loan from the bank, but he will also lose opportunities such as joining the military and taking public exams, and even relatives will be affected.
Some people think that bankruptcy of credit does not matter. Why should you pay back the money you borrowed based on your ability?
It doesn't matter, as time goes by, people will naturally understand which one has a greater impact on the individual, financial bankruptcy or credit bankruptcy.
On August 17, Felix received good news. The railway between St. Petersburg and Moscow was finally open to traffic after nearly a year of hard work by engineers and prisoners of war.
After the Provisional Government moved the capital to Moscow, it blew up the railway between Moscow and St. Petersburg.
After Moscow was recovered, George began to repair the railway, employing nearly 200,000 people and investing 15 million rubles.
The railway between Moscow and St. Petersburg is 650 kilometers long. Referring to the cost of the Trans-Siberian Railway, it will cost at least 30 million rubles.
The Trans-Siberian Railway was built at the end of the last century, when the ruble was more valuable than it is today.
Because of the increasingly tense situation in the Ottoman Empire, George did not attend the opening ceremony.
During the Paris Peace Conference, the Ottoman Empire, like the Austro-Hungarian Empire, was completely dismembered.
At its peak, the Austro-Hungarian Empire had a land area of 677,000 square kilometers.
After the Paris Peace Conference, Austria’s area was only 84,000 square kilometers.
At its peak, the Ottoman Empire had a land area of 5.5 million square kilometers and spanned Asia, Africa and Europe. It was one of the most powerful countries in the world at that time and was known as the "Lord of the World."
Before the outbreak of the World War, the Ottoman Empire had a territory of 1.5 million square kilometers.
After the Paris Peace Conference, the Ottoman Empire’s territory was less than 400,000 square kilometers.
The news reached the Ottoman Empire, and the angry Ottomans demanded that Sultan Muhammad VI not accept the results of the Paris Peace Conference.
Muhammad VI felt that this result was acceptable.
Compared with the other three empires that perished, the Ottoman Empire was at least still around.
The Ottoman Empire is currently divided into two factions. The reformist faction headed by Mustafa Kemal demands renegotiations with the Allies.
The conservatives, led by Mohammed VI, hope to accept this result and shift their energy to reconstruction.
The civil war in the Ottoman Empire is about to break out.
