This tragedy, known as the St. Petersburg Massacre, resulted in the deaths of more than 200 people, including more than 20 soldiers and policemen who suppressed the strike, and more than 2,000 people injured. During the subsequent investigation into the masterminds behind the scenes, Russia
The government arrested more than a thousand people, and nearly two hundred of them were hanged on the gallows by the angry Stolypin.
He knew very well that he must take an iron-fist approach to this kind of matter, and he could not show any mercy or give these unruly people any unrealistic illusions, especially those who were behind the scenes. The only suitable destination for them was the gallows.
Not only was there a massive manhunt for rebels in St. Petersburg, but the Prime Minister also set off a bloody storm throughout Russia. In the next half month, more than 5,000 suspects were arrested across Russia.
It was Comrade Vladimir's comrades, including some other dissidents who usually behaved excessively, who also became the target of His Excellency the Prime Minister. Although the domestic situation was stabilized in a very short period of time, Stolypin became the target of all Russians.
A thorn in the side of the righteous.
At this time, the war situation returned to a stalemate on both the Eastern and Western fronts. Obviously, this was not possible. We had to make persistent efforts to defeat the Allies and end the war. Before Britain and France were unable to make any new breakthroughs, Nicholas
He must once again play the role of the savior of Europe. To put it simply, he must mobilize more troops, but this will require more supplies, but the loan his wife got from China has been spent, and Yang Feng will definitely not
Giving him a new loan in such a short period of time, after all, no matter how deep the relationship between Yang Feng and his wife is, there is a limit.
Therefore, Nicholas can only find a way in his own country. Or to put it simply, he can only continue to squeeze the people in the country, and this will undoubtedly further deepen the resentment against him in the hearts of the Russian people because of the St. Petersburg massacre. This resentment is in the hearts of the Russian people.
It can easily turn into hatred with the help of others.
Nicholas was not aware of this at all. In his opinion, his subjects should live frugally and survive the difficulties together with his empire at this time. As long as the war is won, he will give them everything they want.
But unfortunately he was wrong, and a storm was brewing that was about to engulf his regime.
"Look, this is the cheapest way to destroy an empire. We just gave them a few million dollars, and this money was earned from the Russians. Even if we add what William gave them,
The total investment of the two companies is only more than 10 million yuan, but it has put the largest empire in the world facing the most terrifying danger." Emperor Yang said with a smile while looking at the information in his hand.
It is true that he has not given Vladimir much money in these years. The total sum is only more than 4 million yuan. But this money has become a lever to stir up the Russian revolution.
"It seems that there are many people in our country who are promoting their stuff." Attendant Yuan said worriedly.
"Kill, don't kill openly, let the intelligence department use some covert means, or bribe some gangsters and gangsters to do it, turn their death into the simplest criminal case, and domestic newspapers should strengthen their review
, it is strictly prohibited to publish these things, even if you want to criticize these things, you must prohibit them. Let them disappear silently." Emperor Yang said without hesitation.
In fact, in China, he didn't worry about this at all. The reason was very simple. Without a foundation, people were just playing because they were so poor that they couldn't afford to eat. At this time, let alone having enough to eat, China even had the kind of wasteful behavior among the people in later generations.
It seems that even many old-school congressmen are lamenting that the younger generation are losers.
While they were talking, an attendant hurriedly walked in and handed a telegram to the Chief Attendant. Attendant Yuan was dumbfounded when he saw it.
"What's wrong?" Emperor Yang asked.
"Your Majesty, President Bryan of the United States is dead." Attendant Yuan said with a wry smile.
After all, Brian, the great and noble President, did not escape the persistent assassination attempts by his enemies. He was killed by a bomb buried in the road while riding in a car for inspection half an hour ago. He died very completely and tragically.
, so much so that it took his entourage more than an hour to piece together the remains of His Excellency the President. As for the murderer who pressed the detonator, he was just fifteen years old this year. No matter which country's law it is, it is impossible to accept it.
The trial was conducted, and the murderer was a fool. He only knew that two strangers gave him a bag of candies and asked him to press down the things in his hands when the President's car passed by a certain location.
The fool performed his duties meticulously with the loyalty and rigor typical of people like them, and then sent the President of the United States to see God. Considering the greatness and nobility of this President, he will definitely go to heaven.
No one will doubt it.
It's a pity that he went to heaven, but his country began to go to hell.
"Oh, they are seeking their own death!" Emperor Yang couldn't help but let out a long lament after learning that his old friend was unfortunately killed.
Anyone who has any sense can probably guess who killed Brian. Those big capitalists have been looking forward to his death for more than a day, and they have not only taken action once, even the previous few times Brian was assassinated.
The masterminds of the case have been exposed by all-pervasive newspaper reporters. The main suspect is the old Morgan, who is still sitting on Wall Street with the support of the Bank of England. Although it is different from the past, President Bryan, who has the overall situation in mind, personally
Suppressing the investigation of those assassinations, and then as Britain was mired in the European war, there was no time to take care of the United States, and it was worried about angering Yang Feng, so it also suppressed it secretly, so that the capitalists temporarily stopped their activities, but it is obvious that
The changes in the war situation in Europe have made these people unable to sit still.
You must know that judging from the current situation, the victory of the Allied Powers has basically been determined. The next step is just when will Russia increase its troops to break the balance again. Anyway, the war potential of the Allied Powers has been exhausted. All armies are not full, and none of them are full.
The replenishment of reserve recruits is like water without a source. In the face of the ever-increasing Russian army, failure can be said to be a foregone conclusion.
If the United States does not join the war, it will not even be able to drink the last sip of soup. Although the Caribbean Alliance is still blockading the United States due to the Alabama issue at this time, this problem can be easily solved. The worst is to lose Alabama. They
Don't you want independence? Then withdraw the US troops stationed in Afghanistan and allow them to establish independence. Anyway, there is not much value there, it is just some cotton plantations. This can be regarded as giving Emperor Yang a step down, since Emperor Yang also
Now that he is ready to invest in the Allied Powers, he will definitely not be able to blockade the United States anymore. After all, his reason for blocking the United States no longer exists.
But this is what Brian is firmly opposed to. This President is one of the most staunch anti-war activists. In fact, in the First World War in history, he was the main opponent of the American participants in the war, and he even resigned for it.
As Secretary of State in the Wilson government, you must know that the benefits of the United States' participation in the war at that time were much greater than at this time, but even then he was still opposed, let alone now, not to mention that the United States is now steadily moving towards his ideals. If it participates in the war
Then the strength of the capitalists will definitely come back, which he absolutely cannot accept.
With Brian in office, it is absolutely impossible for Alabama to become independent. This is his main weapon to use Yang Feng's hand to attack the consortium. Without this weapon, it will be difficult for him to manipulate those big capitalists as he pleases.
But without the Caribbean Alliance, it would be impossible for Alabama to lift the blockade it had maintained against the United States for more than three years. Without the Caribbean Alliance, it would be impossible for the United States to join the war in Europe.
Therefore, to the capitalists, President Bryan must die.
As long as he dies, Vice President Wilson will take over. Although they are both Democrats, there are essential differences between Wilson, who was born in the traditional Democratic Party, and Bryan, who was originally from the People's Party and later merged into the Democratic Party. Although the two have the same views on the interests of labor,
In terms of fighting against conglomerates, Wilson was not as sparing as Brian. Moreover, Wilson, who was a university president, liked the pastoral era but was not so enthusiastic about it.
"Okay, everyone who should jump out has jumped out. Since they want to join the war, let them join the war." Emperor Yang sneered and said, he didn't care about hunting rabbits, this is the United States itself seeking death.
"Then how should we react?" Waiter Yuan asked hurriedly. At this time, everyone knew that Brian was Emperor Yang's man to a certain extent. It depends on the owner to beat the dog. Now let's kill his little brother.
Now, the American capitalists are waiting with trepidation for Yang Feng's reaction. Although they guess that Emperor Yang will not be angry when he is about to make a bet on the Allies, the United States is still under his shadow.
Speaking of which, those American capitalists who dared to play this trick were not without psychological burden, but they simply could not resist the temptation of huge benefits brought by participating in the war.
"Reaction? What can we respond to? This is an internal affair of Americans. Outsiders like us are not allowed to interfere. I will issue a statement to express my shock and condolences, and then send someone to visit Brian's widow in my name."
, and at the same time, I believe that the U.S. government has the ability to investigate the truth of the incident, bring the real murderer to justice, and let President Brian's soul rest in peace." Emperor Yang said seriously.
Chief Yuan immediately understood what Emperor Yang meant, which was to tell the American capitalists that Emperor Yang welcomed them to join the war. (To be continued)
