Chapter 642 Tragic Scene

"Although His Majesty William II tried his best to rescue Nicholas II and his family, he failed. He only rescued Princess Anastasia. The rest of the family members were killed by the Soviets."

"We secretly transferred Princess Anastasia to Germany. Because of the world situation at that time, we did not disclose this to the outside world. But now, there is no need to hide it."

Soon it was time for reporters to ask questions freely. What the reporters were most concerned about was whether Princess Anastasia would restore the Romanov dynasty with the help of Germany.

The fake Princess Anastasia gave a clear answer to this question. "Countless people died in the last Bushivik coup. If I want to restore the Romanov dynasty, it will inevitably be another bloody storm. This is not what I want to see, so I will not choose to restore. I just want to live the rest of my life in peace."

"But my family's revenge still needs to be avenged, so I will give all the Romanov dynasty's inheritance to Germany, as a contribution to defeating the evil empire."

As mentioned earlier, the huge inheritance of the Romanov dynasty is stored in Swiss banks.

Although Switzerland is nominally a neutral country, it is obviously biased towards Germany. In the original time and space, Germany and Switzerland signed a "trade" agreement, that is, Germany supplied Switzerland with a certain amount of coal and iron in exchange for Switzerland supplying Germany with the materials it needed in its war. The Swiss government loaned Germany 150 million Swiss francs and controlled its export materials under Germany's control, and did not need a German pass to export. Switzerland provided the required electricity to German military factories to ensure Germany's normal production. Germany exchanged the materials looted in the war for gold at Swiss banks, or exchanged them for other materials.

Now, with Yannick's words, the Swiss bank recognized the identity of Princess Anastasia and determined that she was the only heir of Nicholas II. According to her wishes, all the huge inheritance of the Romanov dynasty was transferred to Germany.

Then a reporter asked Yannick about his views on the alliance between the Soviet Union and the United States.

Yannick smiled and said. "Everyone knows that the Soviet Union and the United States have joined forces to deal with us in Europe. It's really funny to talk about this. I remember that their Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov's lifelong wish was to eliminate capitalism. I'm afraid he never dreamed that only more than ten years after his death, the Soviet Union he founded with his own hands would be in cahoots with the capitalist countries he hated the most, and they even called it a joint fight against us in Germany."

"It is obvious that Stalin has betrayed Comrade Ulyanov's world revolutionary line. For this reason, Stalin can be said to have spared no effort to eradicate dissidents. As we all know, a large number of Soviet elites have been suppressed and persecuted in the past few years. The purge of senior military officials alone is It reached a horrifying level. For example, 4 of the 5 marshals, 13 of the 15 generals, 8 of the 9 admirals, 50 of the 57 army commanders, 154 of the 186 division commanders, all 16 army political commissars, and 25 of the 28 military political commissars were executed in the purge. Tsk, such a terrible purge has never happened even in our capitalist countries. "

"And I doubt that Comrade Ulyanov was also killed by Stalin." Interestingly, this argument came from later Russian historians. Researchers headed by Lev Lury argued that Stalin was seriously suspected of poisoning Ulyanov.

They believed that Ulyanov, who was on his deathbed at the time, was planning to launch a "political purge" and left a "political will."

The so-called "political will" is a collection of five papers including "On Cooperation" and letters such as "Letter to the Congress" dictated by Ulyanov during his illness from December 1922 to March 1923. It comments on six senior cadres including Trotsky, Bukharin, Pyatakov, Zinoviev, Kamenev and Stalin, and only makes suggestions for the organizational treatment of Stalin:

Comrade Stalin has become a leader and has unlimited power. I am not sure whether he can always use this power very carefully... Stalin is too rude. This shortcoming is completely tolerable in our mutual interactions, but it becomes intolerable in the position of leader. Therefore, I suggest that comrades carefully think of a way to transfer Stalin from this position and appoint another person to replace him...

Ulyanov himself did not intend to regard the above articles and letters as a "will", but was prepared to submit them to the 12th Congress of the CPSU to solve the problems he raised at the meeting. But on the eve of the congress, Ulyanov's condition suddenly worsened and he could not speak, so the submission of the materials was delayed. It was not until the eve of the 13th Congress of the CPSU in May 1924 that Krupskaya submitted them to the Central Committee. At that time, Ulyanov had been dead for several months. Since these texts were only conveyed to the heads of the delegations attending the conference instead of all the representatives originally envisioned, the pressure on Stalin was greatly reduced. He was good at political intrigue and defeated his competitors one by one, and finally seized power.

These words seemed like a heavy bomb, and the shock was no less than the Soviet Union and the United States declaring war on Germany. Some reporters couldn't wait to ask. "Your Highness, is there any definite evidence?"

Yannick smiled. "I have all the evidence and witnesses, but they are not in my hands yet. I will be able to get them soon, please wait and see." He laughed in his heart, wondering how Stalin would react to his words? Disdainful, sneer? Or terrified or anxious?

When the press conference ended, the air defense alarm in Moscow had been lifted.

The guards came to report that the building above was hit by a bomb and half collapsed, so they could not go up from here. Everyone had to go back to the ground through the backup passage. The entire Kremlin was in ruins, with collapsed buildings and ruins everywhere, corpses lying on the ground, and the smell of blood was everywhere, just like hell on earth.

The closest to them was the Ivan the Great Bell Tower, which had collapsed halfway. This bell tower was a symbol of power during the Ivan IV period and was also the tallest building in Moscow at that time. The main body of the Ivan the Great Bell Tower was designed and built by Italian architect Friatsin from 1505 to 1508. From 1532 to 1543, Petrov-Mari added an octagonal bell tower to the main body of the bell tower. Napoleon led the French army into the Kremlin and tied his horses here. Later, when he retreated, he buried explosives here to destroy the bell tower, but the bombs did not explode completely, leaving 18 bells. The Ivan the Great Bell Tower was miraculously preserved.

On the right side of the Ivan the Great Bell Tower is the world's heaviest bell, the "Tsar Bell", known as the King of Bells. It is a masterpiece of Russian casting art and a priceless treasure in the Kremlin. At this time, it has been split into two petals.

In addition, the Kremlin Treasury House, the Great Hall, the Georgiev Hall, the Tsarevich Hall, the Church of the Twelve Apostles, the Cathedral of the Assumption, the Cathedral of the Annunciation, and the St. Michael's Church all collapsed to varying degrees. Even Stalin's private office building, Kremlin Building No. 1, had half of it destroyed.
