Regardless of whether you can find out who is behind the scenes, life is always going to be passed. After dealing with a few scapegoats, the "He Deng Massacre" on the face of it was over.

Social beatings can not only make people mature, it can also make people become paranoid. This is the case of Nicholas II now. The "Heden Massacre" has not been found out for a long time, and he has lost trust in the government bureaucracy.

Originally this was nothing, there were too many emperors who did not trust the bureaucracy. In a sense, distrust of bureaucratic integrity is also a necessary factor for the success of a monarch.

The trouble is that Nicholas II was unable to restrain his emotions and exposed his true inner thoughts before he found enough substitutes.

At this point, Nicholas II was similar to Chongzhen. When you trust a person, you trust it unconditionally; once you find yourself cheated, you will go to the other extreme.

Facts have proved that the bureaucracy is not easy to mess with either. Confronting the czar directly, no one wants to be this early bird. But in other places, it is not easy to find the czar, everyone is still familiar with the road.

In the following days, news from various regions demanding autonomy, opening up parliaments, and deregulating elections... appeared like snowflakes on the desk of Nicholas II.

...

Paris, Headquarters of the Russian Army in France.

Admiral Ojinnets frowned and hung up, urging for supplies again. Recently, he has been driven crazy by logistics.

As the person directly responsible for the looting of the place by the Russian army and causing the situation in France to get out of control, Admiral Oginets is now in the stage of serving a crime.

In order to make up for the mistakes as soon as possible, Admiral Ojinnets performed extraordinarily hard when suppressing the French rebels.

"Power generation urges the country, when will our supplies arrive?"

This is also the tradition of the Russian Empire. Regardless of whether the frontline is fighting or not, it cannot affect the bureaucrats to make money anyway.

In order to get as many floating foam materials as possible, the Russian Logistics Department has always had the principle of "a point is saved, and a day can be delayed". In this regard, bureaucrats have shown unparalleled talent.

"Your Excellency Commander, in the past week, we have sent seven reminders to the Logistics Department and the War Department.

Except for a call back from the Ministry of War to wait, the rest of the telegrams were like stone sinking in the ocean, and now there was no news.

Combined with the previous news, I am afraid that something happened again in the country, we do not know. Before we clarify the specific situation, it is really inappropriate for us to get involved. "

The attendant reminded.

Under normal circumstances, the materials are urged, no matter when they can be delivered, the logistics department will call back.

I think it's so negative now that I don't even reply to a single telegram. There are only two explanations: either it is the negligence of the operator, or something has happened within the government.

Admiral Ojinnets nodded, and said helplessly: "Let's send a call again, and use a harsher tone.

Tell them that if the materials are delayed in arriving, causing the failure of the frontline military operation, they are responsible for it.

In addition, inform officers above the division level to come to the meeting at night. "

The country is caught in political turmoil and there are problems with the front-line material supply. This is completely unwarranted disaster.

If you are a strong general, you can still quarrel with the domestic bureaucrats. If you can't solve the problem, you should report to the czar.

It is a pity that Admiral Ojinnets, who was born as a little nobleman, is obviously not strong enough to offend the bureaucrats of the Logistics Department.

However, logistical problems had to be resolved. Fortunately, the Vienna government sponsored enough potatoes, otherwise Admiral Odinets didn't even have time to think about countermeasures.

Even if the Russian army occupied the "prosperous" Paris area, they thought they would have nothing to worry about. If it was true before, it is a pity that everything is different now.

Unlike Germany in the original time and space, after the end of the European War, the Anti-French Alliance did not ask the French government for industrial and commercial products to repay debts, and naturally it would not help them restore industrial production.

Although the Bourbon dynasty has made efforts to resume production after it entered the power, France, whose domestic market has collapsed, obviously does not have the basis for industrial development.

There is no doubt that in Europe in the 19th century, apart from the large number of employed people in industry and agriculture, there was no third choice.

If the employment problem cannot be solved, the economy will naturally not get better. The once affluent Paris area is now a large slum.

Since the defeat of France, except for the short-term increase in the population of the Paris area during the outbreak of the refugee wave, the rest of the time has been in continuous loss.

After the strike of the Carlos government, this situation has been exacerbated. Almost every day, thousands of people can be seen dragging their families away from this desperate land.

The locals couldn't survive and were forced to run away. It is simply a dream to raise hundreds of thousands of Russian military supplies on the spot.

"Okay, Your Excellency Commander."

After speaking, the attendant turned around and was about to leave. Admiral Oginets suddenly shouted, "Wait a minute."

"There is no need for reminders. Most of the major changes have taken place in the country, and I am afraid that we will not be able to take care of us for a while.

Directly send electricity to the Allied Command to explain in detail the difficulties we are facing and request material assistance. "

Frankly speaking, as long as there are other options, Admiral Oginets will not take this step.

Although the headquarters of the Allied Forces is nominally the superior of the Russian army stationed in France, this organization degenerated into an exchange and liaison organization as early as the end of the anti-French war.

Although it still has nominal jurisdiction, it is only a political need. In fact, the actions of the Russian army have long been free from the constraints of the Allied Command.

In this name, the Russian army can indeed ask the Allied Command for help. Out of the need to suppress France, the Vienna government will certainly not sit idly by.

But there is no free lunch in this world. Once the Allied Command’s money and food are taken, it will be impossible for the French-Russian army to maintain its current independent status.

If it only involves the independent military command of the hundreds of thousands of Russian troops on the front line, then the clanking poor czarist government is probably already sold to the Vienna government.

What a big deal, being a mercenary is not without precedent in history. As long as the price is in place, the tsarist government will not mind.

The problem is that once the Allied Command intervenes, the problem becomes more complicated. Now that the Allied Command has obtained the command of the Russian army, should the command of the garrison of other countries also be transferred?

Needless to say, without the thorny leader of the Russian Empire, it would be impossible for other members of the anti-French alliance to reject Vienna's will.

Although Admiral Ojinnets is not a professional politician, since he can climb to his current position, he will certainly not be a political novice.

With his personal political sense, he knew that once the Allied Command was in control of real power, the consequences would be very serious.

It is true that Russia and Austria are allies, but it does not mean that the Russian Empire is also an ally of the Holy Roman Empire.

In the eyes of ordinary people, it is the Vienna government that is in charge anyway. The difference is not big, but Admiral Ojinnets knows that there is an essential difference.

Although the former Austrian Empire was powerful, the power gap with the Russian Empire was not too great. The two countries can naturally become good allies.

However, it is different now. Although deep down in his heart he did not want to admit it, Admiral Ojinnets also knew that the power gap between Russia and Shenluo had been completely widened.

Is the difference "twice", "three times", or more?

No one can give an answer to this question. In short, the Russian Empire is indeed behind.

As an old-school empire, Russia naturally does not want to become the younger brother of Shinra. As far as Admiral Ojinnets knows, in order to get rid of the economic control of Shinra, the tsarist government secretly did not make little effort.

At the moment, I am sending over the command of the Russian army in France, which is definitely a political failure. In the future, I will be wearing small shoes.

Knowing that, Admiral Ojinnets still has no more choices. The domestic bureaucrats are dragging their feet. If they don't find a backer, how can they fight the battle behind?

You must know that he is guilty of meritorious service now, and it is okay to win on the battlefield; if he loses, the military court will definitely make it.

Admiral Ojinnets's domestic foundation is not strong enough. The Marshal Ivanov who promoted him has already seen God, and there is no help in the senior management. It is absolutely cool to go to the military court.

For Oginets personally, it is obviously more secure to move closer to the Allied Command. With the status of the Russian Empire in the alliance, coupled with this political squad, he can at least get the position of deputy commander of the Allied Forces.

With this layer of amulet, he is the highest-level officer of the Russian Empire in the Allied Headquarters. As long as the Tsarist government wants to maintain its right to speak in the Allied Forces, it can only fake it.

As for the post-autumn settling accounts, at most it is nothing more than sitting on the bench after returning home. There can be no more, or else the tsarist government will slap itself in the face.

...

From the front line, Nicholas II has not received the news yet, and he is busy sorting out internal problems.

In fact, the political struggle suddenly intensified. The "tsar's distrust" was just a fuse, and the deeper reason was "reform."

Since the end of the 19th century, Russia’s industrial system has gradually been improved, the gap between the rich and the poor in the country has further widened, and the domestic contradictions have gradually increased.

Especially after the outbreak of the European economic crisis, the Russian Empire suffered heavy losses in agricultural exports. A large number of farmers went bankrupt and social conflicts were intensified.

Faced with these situations, Alexander III began to reform internally from the perspective of maintaining his rule in his later years.

It is a pity that Alexander III saw God before the results came out, and Nicholas II, who had just succeeded to the throne, was forced to take over the burden of continuing reforms.

No matter how reform is done, it will inevitably harm the interests of some people. Nicholas II's reforms are naturally no exception.

In a sense, Nicholas II's previous calculations were also one of the backlashes brought about by reforms.

...

Putting down the documents in his hand, Nicholas II asked dissatisfiedly: "The local self-government bureau guys, don't you know you are satisfied?"

After Nicholas II came to the throne, the liberals in the county and prefecture management agencies of the local self-government bureau hoped to gain greater autonomy in order to alleviate the conflict between the tsarist system and the people.

Obviously, alleviating contradictions is false, and wanting greater autonomy is the fundamental purpose of these political powers.

Prime Minister Sergey Witte: "Yes, Your Majesty. The representatives of the Autonomous Bureau insist on opening up full autonomy, including parliament, elections, legislation..."

Before Sergey Witt finished speaking, Nicholas II couldn't help but reprimanded: "The people in the local self-government bureau are thinking wildly again. They want to participate in the administration of the state. Why don't they ask God to manage the kingdom right?

I hope everyone knows that the dictatorship of the tsarist government is unshakable, just like my unforgettable father!

Even if we want to learn the advanced European system, it is enough for us to learn Austria. There is no need to think about things all day.

If you want state management and freedom, why don't you open your eyes and see how free France is now? "

Obviously, with positive and negative real examples, Nicholas II was more emboldened to say no to autonomous representatives.

No matter how the liberals throw the pot, France before the defeat is indeed the freest country in Europe. The level of public participation in politics is also the highest, and in many cases the public opinion influences government decision-making.

However, it was precisely because of this freedom that the French chariot was aimed at Central Europe, which eventually detonated the European War and buried the arrogant French Empire.

In contrast, Austria, which is relatively conservative, became the final victor and established the Holy Roman Empire.

Of course, to learn from the Holy Roman Empire, Nicholas II would be absolutely unwilling. Austria and Shinra are completely two concepts.

Although Shinra is relatively conservative, the states, municipalities, and autonomous provinces below all have completely independent autonomy.

The autonomy requested by the representatives of the Self-Government Bureau is actually a replica of the subordinate states of Shinra, except that one monarch is missing.

The states of the Holy Roman Empire are all dominant nations, with the same language, history, politics, and culture. They also have a tradition of state system for nearly a thousand years, and they have sufficient centripetal force.

The Russian empire is not good. The main ethnic group only accounts for 40%. Many ethnic minorities have been brutally oppressed and have no affection for this country.

To play with unlimited autonomy is to engage in division. It is okay if the central government has been strong, if one day it declines, it will soon be backlashed.

From the beginning of Nicholas I, Alexander II and Alexander III did not accept the conditions of autonomy, and it was naturally impossible for Nicholas II to accept it.

persuade?

If it does not exist, some of the people present may have opinions on the czar, but absolutely no opinion on their own country.

...

Foreign Secretary Mikhailovich: "Your Majesty, the United States of America has sent a diplomatic note, hoping to strengthen economic exchanges and cooperation with us.

The Americans proposed to build a railway from Central Asia to the Far East to promote commercial trade between the two countries. "
