Bulgarian Empire

On July 23, 1917, German troops, led by Marshal August von Mackensen, broke through the Russian interception, crossed Lithuania and headed straight for St. Petersburg.

Although the Hindenburg government was very dissatisfied with Marshal August von Mackensen, this task was given to him. Now is the time of war, and everything is aimed at winning the war. Even if you want to retaliate, you have to wait until autumn to settle the score, right?

On the same day, the Russian Army Command in Lithuania happened to be attacked by the Germans, resulting in nine deaths and eleven injuries, including Lieutenant General Modolf Nicholas, commander of the First Army, who also died on the spot!

Due to the paralysis of the high-level command system, the chaos of the Russian First Army continued until three days later, when the front army appointed a new army commander and arrived before returning to normal. At this time, the best time for pursuit has been missed!

Ferdinand, who received the news, just sighed slightly. He knew that St. Petersburg was over. Although there were still hundreds of kilometers from Lithuania to St. Petersburg, the Russians in this area did not deploy any troops at all.

The funniest thing is that the Russian army on the front line did not immediately pursue the German army because of internal chaos, and it was delayed for three days!

This is simply watching St. Petersburg fall. Otherwise, as long as they follow closely behind the Germans, even if Germany hits St. Petersburg, it will be the fate of being flanked back and forth.

Of course, the behind-the-scenes man who caused the chaos in the Russian army has also surfaced this time. They can no longer do it if they want to dive. Now the officers in the Russian army who support Nicholas II are also fighting with the officers who oppose him. , the two sides are deadlocked.

One is bad, the Russian civil war is about to break out from the army first, but in the end the tsarist officers gained the upper hand, but they were eager to rescue St. Petersburg, so they didn't have time to cleanse the opposition!

After receiving the information, Nicholas II immediately attacked the opposition nobles angrily. Unfortunately, the building was already empty. When these people left, they did a big thing, which was to burn down the grain warehouse in St. Petersburg.

Although the tsarist government organized fire fighting in time, the losses were still heavy, especially the explosions in several flour warehouses, which eventually caused hundreds of casualties and destroyed hundreds of thousands of tons of grain.

The tsarist government's hope of defending St. Petersburg is gone. Of course, this also means that even if the Germans occupy St. Petersburg, they can't wait for a long time. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone!

...

Faced with this tactic, the tsarist government was also dumbfounded. This is simply killing them!

And St. Petersburg, can they give up? Obviously not, once you give up the light spittle stars, you can drown them!

Can St. Petersburg be held? Without the destruction of these people, it would definitely be able to hold on. This is the capital of the Russian Empire. As long as they hold on for a while, reinforcements from all directions will arrive. By then, it will not be a big problem to encircle and wipe out the German army?

But all this is impossible now. Although the Russian Empire still has a lot of grain, the grain in the warehouses in Siberia and the Caspian Sea is almost rotten. Unfortunately, some railways have been damaged, and these grains cannot be shipped in the short term. Come St. Petersburg!

It has to be said that the enemy's calculations are very accurate. As long as the tsarist government abandons St. Petersburg, Nicholas II's prestige will be fatally hit. coming!

...

Great turmoil is about to break out in Russia, what are the Allies doing?

The reality is very cruel. At least Ferdinand should show some face. Even if he didn't support Nicholas II's brother-in-law this time, he didn't make trouble for him, did he?

The performance of Britain and France is very chilling. They have directly hooked up with the Russian bourgeoisie and used the embassy to provide them with convenience. Even if a new government is established, their interests will not be lost at all. !

Of course, the anti-government forces in Russia are not monolithic.

The aristocracy wanted revolution only to kill Nicholas II, and they would certainly not kill themselves, so they are still the so-called "constitutional monarchists"!

The bourgeois revolution is going to be more ruthless. They hope to defeat the monarchy and establish a bourgeois republic, just like the United States and France, so the aristocracy is also their obstacle!

There is also the Bolshevik Party. There is no doubt that their revolutionary stance is the firmest and most thorough. Both nobles and capitalists are their enemies!

Once the Tsar falls, the future Russian Empire is very likely to stage the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. If the forces supporting Nicholas II are added, it may even evolve into the Romance of the Four Kingdoms!

...

Time flies by, and it has entered August in a flash, and the world war is still anxious.

Ferdinand's life has not been very easy recently, because of the Russian affairs, Princess Xenia's temper has been unstable recently, and even the little ones are living carefully, for fear of causing displeasure to the mother.

This made Ferdinand secretly rejoicing. Fortunately, he did not make a move this time, otherwise the Russian civil war had not yet broken out, and maybe a civil war would break out in his palace first!

Little Ferdinand asked, "Are we really not going to interfere with Father's Russian affairs?"

Ferdinand smiled slightly and said, "Do you think it is better to be a neighbor with a powerful Russian Empire from the standpoint of Bulgaria, or a neighbor with a fragmented Russia?"

Little Ferdinand said without hesitation: "Of course, a divided Russia is more in our interests! Father, I understand what to do, but what should mother do?"

Ferdinand patted his shoulder with his hand, and said confidently: "That's why I didn't do anything. These things are done by Britain and France. We just acquiesced in their actions. Your mother should also be reasonable. You can't blame me for this!"

The expression on little Ferdinand's face is really pretty, what do you mean we didn't do anything? Without our cooperation, could Britain and France's actions have gone so smoothly?

However, he still decisively chose to play dumb. Anyway, Britain and France are the first birds now, and Bulgaria should continue to be the ostrich. Otherwise, if something goes wrong with the unlucky uncle’s family in St. Petersburg, this account should not be credited to them by his mother. On father and son?

After thinking of this terrible consequence, Little Ferdinand decided that no matter what he did in the future, he would not show up if he didn't get ahead, so as not to increase his hatred!

A maid said softly, "Your Majesty, please see Mr. Sim."

Ferdinand didn't mean to let little Ferdinand avoid him. He was already the crown prince, and he was not too young. There were many things he could touch.

"Let him in!"

Intelligence leader Sim saluted the two separately, and then said: "Your Majesty, news has just come from Russia that the Germans have conquered St. Petersburg, and the Tsarist government has already evacuated before the city was broken. Judging by the route, there is a high possibility that they will go to Moscow!"

"Moscow" Ferdinand figured, could it be that Nicholas II's brain was flooded, didn't he know that there is already a stronghold of capitalists over there? If you plunge into it with all your brains, do you really think that capitalists are soft persimmons?

However, after considering the special situation of the Russian Empire, he had to admit that the Tsarist government had no choice now. After losing St. Petersburg, there were not many cities that could be the capital of the Russian Empire, and they didn't think capitalists would dare to rebel now!

Of course, the accompanying army of more than 10,000 people is their real confidence. After all, the thugs under the capitalists are not the opponents of the regular army.

In theory, more than 10,000 people are enough to suppress everything. At least in Moscow, there is no armed force that can compete with them!

After contemplating for a while, Ferdinand said: "Order our people to pay close attention to the situation in Moscow, especially the actions of the Bolshevik Party!"

"Yes!" Sim replied

"Little Ferdinand, guess what will happen to the Russian Empire next?" Ferdinand asked

Little Ferdinand thought for a while and said: "Due to the loss of St. Petersburg, the tsarist government has lost a lot of prestige. Next, the major forces in the Russian Empire will jointly attack the tsarist government. My uncle is very likely to lose his hands this time." rights, and there is even the possibility of losing the throne and being succeeded by Alexei or Uncle Hayir Alexandrovich!"

Ferdinand shook his head and said: "Well, the analysis is good, but all you said is based on the premise that the royalists have the upper hand, but now in Moscow the bourgeoisie has the upper hand!

As enemies, would they let Nicholas II go so easily? "

Little Ferdinand said in shock, "Father, don't they dare to kill the king?"

Ferdinand quickly stopped him and said, "Kid, keep your voice down, in case your mother finds out, there will be good fruit for you later!

The capitalists of the Russian Empire naturally did not dare to kill the king, at least they would not take risks while the frontline army loyal to the tsar was still there, but not necessarily others! "

Ferdinand meant something, but he didn't say it directly, and let little Ferdinand think about it by himself.

Looking at the little Ferdinand who was puzzled, he added: "Remember, don't let your mother know about our conversation today, otherwise she will ask you to find a way to save your uncle's family, and you can do it yourself. solve!"

Little Ferdinand was shocked and said: "Ah, father! You don't care? If your mother finds out, she will definitely demolish your palace!"

Ferdinand said without changing his face: "I don't care! The palace and everything are extraneous things. If she likes to tear it down, let him tear it down. At worst, I can build a new one. It's just that you will be miserable. She will be in your house every day." Ear bombardment until you give in!"

After a pause, Ferdinand added very unscrupulously: "This is only limited to your uncle's family. If there is no accident, maybe she will consider cutting off the mother-child relationship with you!"

Little Ferdinand was almost killed by lightning, and he looked at Ferdinand resentfully, didn't he just want to keep it a secret, as for cheating his son like this?

Sim at the side was already in a cold sweat, and he was fantasizing: It seems that he has heard what he shouldn't have heard, so he won't be silenced, right?

But soon Ferdinand rescued him, jokingly said: "Little Ferdinand, you are too timid. I made a joke for you and made you tremble. It is really embarrassing. Your mother has Is it that scary?

Oh, Sim, you can go down, you haven't heard anything today, understand? "

Sim immediately replied: "Yes, Your Majesty"

He ran away after he finished speaking, and now he dare not stay any longer, let's forget about participating in the royal family's housework!

Not to be outdone, Ferdinand said, "Who is scared, but my mother is really scary recently. You can use the excuse of handling official business to hide, and we will be miserable. If there is any mistake, we will be punished!"

Ferdinand thought for a while and said: "You should understand her, older women are like this, maybe you can consider inviting Empress Dowager Maria Feodorovna over, so that her temper may be restrained! "

Little Ferdinand fell into deep thought, as if he was thinking about whether it would be effective.

Ferdinand interrupted his contemplation, and said cautiously: "Don't think about it, little Ferdinand. Now you should go and tell your mother the good news. Your uncle and his family have evacuated from St. Petersburg safely. She should be at ease." Now, your life will be much easier this way!"

Little Ferdinand said with a wry smile, "Yes, Father!"

Obviously he doesn't think that St. Petersburg has fallen, what good news is this, maybe after hearing this news, Xenia will be even more angry!
