Chapter 1559 For Whom the Bell Tolls 2

Although the Russians were in civil strife, and Germany did take advantage of the civil strife to push forward fiercely, but, as an old Chinese saying goes, brothers stay outside the wall to resist their insults. It's okay if you take some advantage, but if you want to continue to advance, the pressure will be great. For example, even before the cannons of the October Revolution were fired, the Russians did not forget to deploy defenses in the Gulf of Finland. When the cannons were fired, the Germans did not Attack on St. Petersburg. The middle route is also far away from Moscow. If Germany oppresses too much, it is not impossible for the newly established Russian government to reach an agreement with the Allied Powers and continue the war. (In fact, after the establishment of the bourgeois government, it was indeed prepared to continue fighting)

Therefore, Ruprecht looked at his own capacity, and then looked at the situation on the Western Front and at home. It would be good if he could ensure that the previous plan was implemented. Moreover, the domestic situation was still the top priority, and the showdown between the Kingdom of Bavaria and Prussia was In the next few months, it depends on the winter of 1913 whether I will leap over the dragon's gate or use my great victory as a wedding dress for others! What's more, there are hundreds of foreign British and French allied forces on the Western Front!

Therefore, various internal and external troubles left the prince with neither the ability nor the idea to push the battle line deeper. If only one country, the German Empire and the Red Soviet Union, can rise in Europe in the future, then Ruprecht can only push this The showdown remains in World War II 20 years later!

Ruprecht could realize the defeat of Russia, and Nicholas II, who was far away in St. Petersburg, also felt the death breath of the empire's demise! This time, in the newly convened imperial meeting, he handed over the leader of the Constitutional Party, Prince Georgi Yevgenyevich Lvov, for the first time.

"We suffered a heavy defeat in Ukraine. We lost the Russian bread basket and one of the largest coal mines. It was also difficult to transport supplies from the Transcaucasus and the Volga basin. I have to say that the Germans did better than Even better than Napoleon, we will face the worst winter in history." Nicholas II paused and continued.

"So, I hope, Prince Lvov, the successor of the Rurik dynasty, I hope that you and your colleagues can use your influence in the Russian Duma to help the government stabilize public opinion. Your request, a constitutional monarch, If you ask the parliament to limit the monarch's rights, I can agree to it. Help the empire and help me get through this most difficult period!"

At this moment, Nicholas II no longer had the arrogance and arrogance of the past. He could only plead with the constitutionalists closest to him in the Duma, not the revolutionaries or the Bolsheviks, to be his last allies. Even as an emperor who was extremely greedy for power, he finally realized that Russia was on the verge of collapse, and the barriers of the army and nobles that he could rely on might collapse in a few months!

"However, even if we can temporarily meet the demands of those members of the Duma through political reforms, we are short of food and coal. We will not be able to survive this winter after all. In the Russian winter, if the government cannot guarantee the most basic food and coal If coal is supplied, no one will support this government.

And you know, there's not enough food around St. Petersburg. "Lvov no longer discussed the establishment of a constitution at this time, because he knew that this was not a problem and the Russian Emperor would agree to everything. But the more serious problem now is how the Russian government will face the people and the army who have no food in the winter. , in this case, they will really kill people!

What's more, in the whole of Russia, the constitutionalists are only one of the factions. There are also factions such as the Left Socialist Revolutionary Party, the Bolsheviks, and the Mensheviks, which are not easy to get along with! Some of their factions even control a sizable army and other armed forces. If coupled with the support of the people, Russia may lose control in just one night! After losing control, Lvov did not think that those truly violent revolutionaries would treat him and the Russian Emperor differently!

"I and my colleagues will try to stabilize some people, and the supply of the army, government and city residents must be guaranteed. Otherwise, it will be fatal if they get into chaos. The size of our port in Murmansk in the north It must be expanded to receive more supplies through the current Arctic route. Of course, this can only delay the collapse. The most important thing is that we must let the people see new hope! And this hope can only be given to us by Britain and France! The Black Sea transportation line must be opened! We must make the British and French realize that the Turkish battlefield is no less important than the Western Front, otherwise, they will prepare themselves to face the full attack of the Germans!" Now, even Li Wo Fudu realizes that the one who can really save Russia is no longer himself, but his allies!

"Control over the army must be tightened. Now, there is already some unstable mood in the army. There has been a certain scale of disobedience among our troops fighting the Germans on the Gulf of Finland front, but we cannot suppress it through strong means. We need to mobilize troops from other places to avoid uncontrollable situations, such as troops from the Don River, Transcaucasus, and the Urals," Grand Duke Nikolayev added.

He now feels that the army is somewhat unstable, so he needs to mobilize more troops to the north to suppress the unstable factors within the army.

"That will make us lose a large area." Infantry General Korninov objected.

"Since the end of the Polish Pocket Battle, what restricted the Germans' advancement has never been our troops, but the size of their wheels. And this time, the Germans have proved that a Russian city that crosses in front of them can, as long as they are willing, It can be captured." Nikolayev interrupted Korninov.

At this moment, while Nicholas II and his ministers were discussing how to survive this terrifying winter, some descendants on the front line had begun to take frequent actions for themselves and for the future of their subordinates. Especially those who had just withdrawn from the front line Coombs Vacetis was taking his Latvian colleagues to retreat to the rear to prepare for a period of rest. At the temporary station, he met with a representative from the Bolsheviks.

"The collapse of the Nomanov dynasty has become a foregone conclusion, and a new country is about to be established on the corpse of the Tsar. However, we also need to face other enemies, including but not limited to the Socialist Revolutionaries, royalists, constitutionalists, and capitalists. Class parties and anarchists. All but the Bolsheviks will be our enemies," the representative said.

"So?" Vacetis asked.

"Accept orders from superiors and fire on any enemy without hesitation!" the representative said.

"No problem! We are waiting for this moment to come." Vatzedis nodded and said. (This guy is also a big shot, the first commander-in-chief of the Red Army, and his army is also the only army that the Red Army directly inherited from the old army!)
