Mediterranean Hegemony Road

By December, the Russian Empire was already a country of ice and snow. This winter, the people of St. Petersburg were extremely sad. The lack of coal, food, and daily necessities all boiled down to "lack of money."

Due to the hoarding of capitalists and ordinary people lacking sufficient heating supplies, everyone has to crowd together to heat each other.

Often in a small house with an area of ​​less than ten square meters, more than a dozen people will be crowded. The coal price is too expensive and it is too luxurious for heating. Ordinary people even use cooking for several families. In order to save costs as much as possible.

This is only December, and the temperature is not too low now, and we can barely cope with the past by this method. If it is the coldest January, it is not known how many people will be alive and frozen to death this winter.

It is not only coal that is increasing, but also other daily necessities. Industrial products are also increasing. The price of food has tripled, the price of food has increased by 2.8 times, and the price of meat products has increased. Five times at most.

Of course, there is an inflation factor, but the core reason is that unscrupulous capitalists are hoarding in order to earn high profits.

As for the life and death of ordinary people, obviously they will not be taken to heart. Anyway, the Russian Empire lacks everything, but it will not lack people.

Therefore, everything is rising now, but wages are not rising.

Not only St. Petersburg, but also other cities in the Russian Empire, there have also been price increases of varying magnitudes. Capitalists are indeed a kind of creature. At the same time that prices have skyrocketed, the wages of ordinary people throughout the Russian Empire have not risen at all.

Krisky is an ordinary mechanical engineer. He works in a machinery factory in St. Petersburg and holds a salary that is twice that of ordinary workers. It stands to reason that his life should be very good.

Unfortunately, the good days only existed before the outbreak of the war. With the outbreak of the World War, domestic prices in Russia have risen sharply, and Kriski's good days have ended.

Although he is an engineer, and his technical ability is very top-notch, his position in the factory is not very good, and he is almost the same as ordinary workers. He has to work on the production line as well as the unfinished work. The salary was deducted for no reason. Only when there is a problem with the machinery, the factory management will think of him as an engineer.

He came to the factory early this morning as usual, and heard everyone talking about it. He figured it out. Because of the need for war, they needed to work an extra hour each day.

There is no doubt that this time is overtime without pay. Anyone who dares to refuse, or as usual, will be taught by the factory management or the thugs, and then sent to prison. The crime is the crime of intentionally undermining the production of war materials.

Like most ordinary workers, Crickets was furious but did not dare to speak. He had to bear to support his family.

Even though they have been working up to 14 hours now, unscrupulous capitalists still dare to ask them to add another hour to work.

Ironically, Russia actually implements an eight-hour work system, and now they have "voluntarily and overtime" seven hours.

Such overtime intensity exists not only in the Russian Empire, but also in almost every country participating in the war, but everyone does not do as much as the Russians, and basically pays an overtime wage.

If history doesn't change, the Russian working class will soon have another "big strike"

Do n’t get me wrong, this is not organized by the working class. They simply do not have this ability, and even the Bolshevik party far away does not have such powerful energy now.

It is the capitalists who want to usurp the rights of the state, but do not want to go naked. So they often organized "strikes" based on Russian characteristics, asking the Tsarist government to reopen the Duma Parliament.

That is: slogans go to the streets during the day and go back to the factory to work overtime at night to complete work tasks.

However, this time is obviously different. The Russian officers and men who came back from the front to receive their praise have already arrived in St. Petersburg. Nicholas II's heart was very disgusted with the capitalist's demands.

Now that he has a power that is completely at his disposal and has nothing to do with the capitalists, if he does n’t do anything, is he still a qualified “tsar”?

On December 18th, Nicholas II held a military conference in the Gatchina Palace from St. Petersburg. The topics of the conference were very simple. They summarized the reasons for the defeat of the Russian army in 1916, looked for the reasons for the failure of the war, and investigated the responsible persons.

If it is left in the East, perhaps many people are wondering if the emperor did this, and there will be no deeper meaning in it.

After all, if it is normal, why did Nicholas II hold this meeting inside the military fortress outside St. Petersburg?

Whether it is accounting after the fall or honoring the heroes, St. Petersburg has more places than here

Of course, Russia is still Russia of the Tsar, and the way of the Tsar is also a Russian tradition.

It ’s not just that the meeting place is in the Gatchina Palace, what ’s weird to think about him, Alexander III directly moved his family to the Gatchina Palace, and became a hermit.

In order to facilitate the office, the senior Russian government had to follow the move, and the move was more than ten years. Compared with this, Nicholas II's approach was not a big deal.

At this moment, high-level Russian military officials gathered in the Gatchina Palace. This time, it was rare that no government officials participated. Nicholas II presided over the meeting as the highest commander of the Russian army.

"Seeing you here today, I feel sad, history will always remember 1916, the year our great Russian Empire set two world records

In the first half of the year, I achieved the biggest victory in human history. Although this record was only saved for half a year, it was also worth celebrating. In the second half, we created the biggest defeat in human history.

From the big victory to the big defeat, it took us only nine months, countless Russian children have given their lives for this, do you think my mood can be happy?

Now that things have happened, today I am going to ask why, and to justify these Russian children who have given their lives

Now, I swear here in the name of God. I Alexandrovich must find the culprit of the defeat of the Russian army and let them pay for their debts. "

After speaking, Nicholas II glanced at the crowd, and saw that many people were frightened, and some people were suddenly relieved.

Obviously, this is not aimed at them. This time the Russian army was defeated. They may have made mistakes in command, but it definitely cannot constitute the main reason for the defeat of this battle.

After a pause, Nicholas II asked coldly again: "Do you have any brothers, subordinates, and comrades-in-arms who are determined to repay you for your justice?"

"Have"

Although the answers were mixed, the voices were very stern and powerful. Obviously, the Russian army had not completely rotted.

Nicholas II seemed very satisfied with the crowd's response, and said with a smile, "Show me your determination then."

Obviously Nicholas II is forcing everyone to stand in line with him. The wise men have guessed his purpose, but is anyone still willing to quit at this time?

"I ’ve vowed here in the name of God. We must find the culprit that defeated our army and repay the justice of the dead Russian brothers and sisters. If you violate this vow, you will fall forever."

There is no doubt that this was arranged in advance by Nicholas II. Knowing that everyone knows that they have chosen to play silly, anyway, this time it is not to find their mischief, many people still have robberies on their faces. The joy of the rest of life passed away

"I swear here in the name of God. I must find the culprit who defeated our army and repay the justice of the dead Russian brothers and sisters. If he violates this oath, he will never fall into hell."

With the first person to take the lead, the others behind him swear their words to God, willingly or unwillingly, and Nicholas II achieved his goal.

In this era, everyone's faith is still very religious. If you swore an oath before God in front of everyone, if you dare to repent, don't want to continue mixing.

When the last person vowed, more than an hour had passed, but Nicholas II was not impatient.

"Very well, everyone is a good soldier in the Russian Empire. I believe you will not do what you eat and eat like some people do.

Now everyone summarizes the reasons why our battle failed this time.

Only when the cause is found can the black hand behind the scenes be found; as long as the black hand is removed, the bloodworms attached to the Russian Empire can be removed, and the current tragedy will happen again in the future. "

Admiral Brusilov preemptively said, "Your Majesty, strategic material

After the war started, the ammunition we carried from the rear, our weapons could not be used at all.

Many times, soldiers can only reload bullets after grinding them again. Even if they are loaded, less than half of the bullets can be fired.

The problem of the artillery shells was even more serious. Many of the artillery shells fell directly and did not explode at all. Later, our soldiers picked him up again and saw that the inside was filled with dirt.

I think inferior weapons and ammunition, and poor logistical supplies are the main factors that caused this war to fail. "

Lieutenant General Nicholas Nicholas Okas immediately added: "All the aircraft that our Air Force can use now are all imported domestically produced aircraft that are disposable products. Once used, they are discarded. A large number of our outstanding pilots have no battle The death field, instead, died on a domestic aircraft. "

Come on, not all fools now know the purpose of Nicholas II. If you still do n’t know what happened, then you are a fool.

After such a big defeat, it must be an explanation for the Chinese people. The best back guys have already appeared. If you do n’t know how to throw them away and wash your own charges of defeat, you wo n’t be able to get to where you are now.

In the spirit of "dead friend, immortal poor", the Russian military naturally desperately hacked the capitalists. Of course, they were already very dark. Everyone just used a bit of exaggerated rhetoric.

To sum it up: domestic rifles are burning fire sticks, domestic cannons are salute guns, domestic aircraft are used to kill

There is also: the food sent to the front line is moldy, soldiers eat and diarrhea while fighting, the fatalities caused by food poisoning are greater than the casualties caused by fighting with the enemy

After a day of discussion, everyone followed the logic and came to the conclusion that the main culprit that caused the frontline defeat was the domestic unscrupulous capitalists and the corrupt officials in the government.

The unscrupulous capitalists took advantage of the allies, colluded with the domestic bureaucracy and sent a large number of inferior weapons to the front line, which harmed the Russian army.

But the heroic Russian soldiers, even with these inferior weapons, won the enemy. The enemy had no way but to spend a large price to buy these capitalists again, so that they poisoned the food of the frontline troops, causing a lot of Casualties.

The casualties they caused to the Russian Imperial Army were more than double the Russian casualties caused by the Allies. The original war loss ratio was 1: 1. The extra casualties were poisoned by domestic capitalists.

So as long as the capitalist **** are cleaned up, the great Russian army can immediately defeat the allies and win the war.

The result that Nicholas II wanted came out. Once the Russian military reached an agreement with him, the Russian capitalists were about to die.

"Here is a list ~ www.wuxiahere.com ~ The people above are all unscrupulous capitalists. They caused millions of Russian soldiers to die on the battlefield, and they caused the displacement of tens of millions of Russian people.

Now I authorize you to form an adultery committee immediately and lead the troops to arrest these maggots.

The Caucasus Front is responsible for the east of the city, the North Front is responsible for the north of the city, the West Front is responsible for the west of the city, the Southwest Front is responsible for the south, and the Navy and Air Force are responsible for the missing fish.

"

Nicholas II's treatment was really "tsar", he simply said it rough

Persuaded high-ranking officers and gave them preparation time, immediately issued military orders, and let them start operations

But I have to say that this is also very effective. Even if the news is leaked in such a short period of time, the capitalists have not even had time to escape. Where can they organize a counterattack?

The disadvantage is that this kind of thing can only be done once. If you do it in St. Petersburg, the capitalists in other Russian cities will get the news. There is no way to wipe them out.

However, Nicholas II was not worried. As the capital of the Russian Empire, St. Petersburg gathered Russia's most powerful group of big capitalists, while those in other regions were much weaker.

As long as the capitalist in St. Petersburg is killed, others will not be concerned. Even if they want to make a mess, the millions of Russian troops in his hands are not enough to suppress any civil strife.

"Your Majesty, what if the city guards intercept it?" Admiral Brusilov asked worriedly

Nicholas II said aggressively: "We gave them an order to keep the city guards and the police honestly in the station. If there is anyone who dares to make trouble, he will be killed by me as a rebel."

"Yes" everyone answered in unison
