Australian Storm 1876 - Chapter 1094

Chapter 1094 Princess’s Request

Since the birth of the Russian workers’ regime, it has encountered armed attacks by the White Army at home and abroad and foreign intervening forces. The revolt of the White Army has spread to a very wide range, and there are countless armed forces, covering almost the entire territory of Russia.

Almost from the day the new government was announced, countless rebellions broke out all over the country. The British, French, Western, Italian, Japanese and other Allied countries took the opportunity to intervene in armed intervention in order to stifle the new workers’ regime and support the Russian counter-revolutionary forces to launch armed rebellions.

From March 6, 2018, the British, French, and Italian intervention troops landed in Murmansk successively, trying to unite the local Tsarist Russian and White Army to overthrow the newly born workers’ regime by force.

The Ocean Empire, together with the Japanese, British, Ryukyu and Vietnamese intervention troops, landed in Vladivostok (Vladivostok) to expand the scope of military occupation.

In addition, the Allied armies invaded Russian Central Asia and the South Caucasus. In early April, Germany and the Ottoman Empire violated the Treaty of Brest and sent troops to occupy the South Caucasus.

After the last train full of weapons arrived on March 21, the Trans-Siberian Railway completely interrupted the supply of supplies to the Second Army in Kyiv.

The required materials can only be transferred from Romania to the ports of Crimea by sea.

British Prime Minister Herbert Asquith personally wrote a letter to Prime Minister Zhang Li of the Ocean Empire, expounding on the great danger that the emergence of a workers’ regime in Russia would bring to Europe. , leading to reddening across Europe.

Therefore, he hopes to mobilize the 2nd Army as the main force of the Allied Powers to attack Moscow, and Britain, France and other countries will give full reinforcements. At this moment of crisis, the Ocean Empire needs to take on the heavy responsibility of leading the world.

Although there are a lot of good things to say, but it is useless.

Prime Minister Zhang Li was euphemistic, but he firmly rejected the suggestion. The role of the 2nd Army was to prevent the spread of German forces to Eastern Europe and stick to the Kyiv area like a nail, rather than being the main force for attacking Moscow.

No one is stupid, it’s obvious.

Europe’s troubles are the Europeans’ business, and when the British and French have solved this big trouble, it’s time to turn around and look for the troubles of the Ocean Empire.

It is okay to let the Ocean Empire mix with the intervention armies of various countries to make soy sauce. Anyway, the work is not enough. The Ocean Empire Intervention Army dispatched to Murmansk has only one mobile brigade, with a total of more than 5,500 people.

In order to adapt to the poor road conditions and the lack of fuel in the Russian interior, this mobile brigade is not equipped with a tank, but a combination of infantry, half-tracked armored vehicles, armored transport trucks, and has an air force consisting of 6 reconnaissance aircraft. .

The Ocean Empire’s attitude towards Russia’s internal affairs is to interfere and not interfere. Because of its early involvement in Vladivostok, it not only transported back the previous 560 tons of gold, but also collected about 270 tons of gold and a large amount of jewelry through weapons transactions with the White Army from all over the world. Antique utensils, the harvest is quite rich.

Taziana and Maria, the two Grand Duchess, arrived in Siberia at the end of October 2017 under the pressure of the empire and temporarily stayed in Vladivostok.

They were very worried about Tsar Nicholas II and his wife and their youngest brother, Crown Prince Alexei, so they refused to go to the Ocean Empire.

In a gorgeous manor in Vladivostok

The two beautiful Russian girls in luxurious clothes were sitting together with an uneasy expression. They were the second daughter of the Tsar, Grand Duchess Taziana, and the third daughter, Grand Duchess Maria. They asked pitifully; “Dear Governor, I Hasn’t heard from your father at all?”

“Her Royal Highness Princess Taziana, the truth is as you expected, the situation is terrible, the new workers’ government has diverted the whereabouts of the tsar’s family, and we can’t know where it went now? Chaos from Moscow to Yekaterinburg , there are at least no less than 100 armed forces in the middle, and no useful information can be obtained.” The Siberian governor, Count Kontsevsky, replied with a dejected expression.

“Oh… God, it’s terrible.” The third princess, Maria, exclaimed. She is only a 19-year-old royal girl. She has long been out of proportion when encountering such a big event, and she doesn’t know what to do.

Bean-sized crystal tears overflowed from her beautiful blue eyes, and soon covered her white face, her red lips trembling and sobbing, she was terrified.

The second princess Taziana performed a little better. Although there were no tears, her eyes were red. She forcedly asked calmly: “Mr. Governor, Mr. General, we have British and Ocean Empire allies, as well as France and Italy to support us, all countries The armed forces are also gathering, can you ask them to mobilize their strength to rescue the emperor?”

Governor Kontsevsky looked back at Lieutenant General Vladimir with a sad expression. He saw a look of near despair in his eyes, and sighed in his heart.

At the end of last year

The Ocean Empire put pressure on Russia, forcing it to send the second and third princesses of the Tsarist Russian royal family to Siberia. At that time, Tsar Nicholas II could come with him and get out of danger.

Nicholas II is stubborn to stay in the palace of the imperial village, waiting for the opportunity to make a comeback…

Now, the situation in Russia has changed dramatically. The government represented by the bourgeoisie was overthrown by the workers’ regime, a large-scale civil war broke out, and the situation took a turn for the worse.

It’s too late to regret, I can’t even think of it at this time.

The territory of Russia is too vast. It is 9,300 kilometers from Vladivostok to Moscow. It takes 20 days and nights to travel by train. What’s more, the Trans-Siberian Railway has been shut down. I don’t know the specific location information. How to save it?

Vladivostok’s army went to Yekaterinburg, and it took two and a half months to march on the road. This was all going well, but when they encountered a large area of ​​​​swamps formed by melting ice and snow, it was hard to think about it.

After April and May in Siberia, the ice and snow melt, and the wilderness is soaked in water and becomes as soft as a cake. When the army and vehicles walk on it, it will turn into a muddy pond. If you walk a little further, it will disappear silently. Absolutely It was a nightmare experience.

“We have sent a request to the Allies, but the situation in Russia is too chaotic now, and they are helpless. They can only detect the whereabouts of His Majesty step by step as the military offensive advances. This will take time.” Lieutenant General Vladimir can only Use the word “drag” to temporarily stabilize the two princesses.

Russia has garrisoned troops in the cities surrounding the China Eastern Railway in northeastern China. Together with the troops under the Siberian Governor’s Office, the total number is about 300,000 people, which seems to be a lot.

But these armies are not uniformly under the jurisdiction of the Governor of Siberia, and they are scattered and poorly trained and equipped. Some are inclined to the new government, some are inclined to the White Guards, and they are not very useful.

in the Foreign Intervention Army in Vladivostok

The two infantry divisions of the Ocean Empire are the main force, with a total of more than 50,000 people, plus more than 15,000 troops from Fusang, Ryukyu, Yueguo, Lanfang and other Allied countries, of which Fusang alone sent 12,000 troops, and the other three Chinese The country has a total of more than 3,000 people, while the British army has only a few hundred.

Governor Kontsevsky and Lieutenant General Vladimir are both royalists and can command 130,000 Belarusian troops in Siberia. If they can join forces with Admiral Kolchak, who has 400,000 troops in the Far East, they will form a number of troops for the new government. Advantage.

The problem now is that the forces of all parties are not united. The Chinese national forces headed by the Ocean Empire are trying to fish, importing weapons, ammunition and food through Siberia in exchange for real money and hard currency.

The British and the Fusos really wanted to fight, but their troops were too weak.

Lieutenant General Vladimir has always been very vigilant to the Fusang people, and believes that these Japanese pirates continue to increase their troops to Vladivostok, which is a bad attempt on the territory of the Russian Far East.

The forces of the White Army belonging to the royalists in various places are also scattered, forming local warlords one by one, not only fighting against the workers’ regime, but also fighting each other for territory and resources.

In this chaotic situation

It is an impossible task to count on the armed forces and foreign intervention forces in various places to unite and work together.

In this case, the two princesses raised in the boudoir didn’t even know about it.

Taziana and Princess Maria were already weeping like tears. Governor Kontsevsky frowned, feeling that the matter was very difficult, and after thinking it over carefully, he said;

“His Royal Highnesses, the most urgent task at the moment is to put pressure on the workers’ government. Only the British and Western countries have contributed to the change in the situation. King George V of the United Kingdom is your cousin, and the Emperor of the Ocean Empire is your prospective father-in-law. The way to urgently ask for help to solve the urgent need.”

“Lord Governor, is this useful?” Princess Tagiana asked with tears on her face.

“It’s hard to say, it can only be regarded as a solution. After all, the two princesses have not yet married into the royal family of the Ocean Empire. The marriage of the royal family was delayed due to the war. I heard that the 12th prince and the 14th prince are already very dissatisfied. How big are they? The negative impact is difficult to measure.”

“But… what can we do!” Princess Taziana turned around and hugged Princess Maria and cried bitterly.

In the face of major national events, the two weak girls can only drift with their fate and have no ability to resist.

Governor Kontsevsky and Lieutenant General Vladimir looked at each other and were speechless. Today’s Tsarist Russia Empire is falling apart, and it’s a piece of shit. What virtue and ability do they have to turn the tide?

Nicholas II was beaten to pieces by a single-handed king, and he personally buried the huge empire. Under extremely dangerous circumstances, he still fantasized about restoring the Romanov Dynasty and lost the only chance to escape the danger. Who can blame this? ?

Plan for today

Only write articles around the two female archdukes. After all, they are descendants of the Romanov dynasty. In case something unbearable happened to the Nicholas II family.

From a legal point of view, Princess Taziana has become the natural heir of the Tsarist Russian Empire and has unquestioned orthodoxy, which is very important.
