Paris, Palace of Versailles. Augustus Napoleon IV of the Roman Empire is waiting for news from the front. Napoleon IV, who had made a fortune from war for two years, suddenly found that other people's world wars had ended, but the Roman Empire was in a situation of war. The war started in South America first, starting in Brazil, and now the war has spread to Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay. And the war situation turned out to be quite unfavorable to Rome. While Zhu Juan was showing off his talents, he was retreating steadily and suffered many defeats. The Mexican Foreign Legion he brought to Brazil suffered heavy losses, and he had to ask Matilde and Napoleon IV for help. Napoleon IV certainly knew that his half-brother was not very good at fighting; - in fact, he asked Zhu Juan to quickly go to South America to command the counter-rebellion. Matilde did not delay this time. More than ten days ago, he appointed Zhu Juan as the Commander-in-Chief of the Mexican Army and the Commander-in-Chief of the South American Front. He took a capable former enemy headquarters to Natal in the Rio Grande do Norte state on the battleship USS Mexico. , took over command of the entire South American battlefield. However, after taking over the command, Zhu Huan ordered the entire front to shrink, gave up many forward strongholds, and temporarily broke away from contact with the rebels. It seemed that they wanted to reorganize their troops before launching an attack. Don¡¯t know when we can start taking action again? Secondly, the "intervention operations" in the direction of Russia began. This time, the army of the Roman Eastern Empire went into battle in person, dispatching an intervention force of 200,000 people. It has been more than a month since the troops were dispatched. Because it is an interventionist force. Naturally, a legitimate government invitation from Russia is required. Otherwise it would be not interference but invasion. But what made Napoleon IV feel embarrassed was that the Russian legal monarch Empress Alexandra, who escaped from Petersburg, did not go to neighboring Finland. Instead, she went to Archangel first under the protection of her uncle, Grand Duke Alexander. Sk, and then took the sea route to Siberia - doesn't this clearly show that you don't trust Rome and would rather rely on China? Fortunately, after arriving in Arkhangelsk, Grand Duke Alexander sent a message to instruct the ambassador in Rome to request intervention from the Roman Empire. Of course, if he didn't propose it, Rome would still intervene! At the same time, the second capital of the Russian Empire did not fall into the hands of the Volya Volya. Constantinople has been a key development site of the Russian Empire for more than ten years. The surrounding land, including the rural areas of Russian Asia Minor, was allocated to immigrants from Russia, and no rural commune system was implemented. In addition, because Constantinople was close to the Mediterranean Sea, it was easy to receive assistance from Rome, and there was no serious shortage of food supply. Therefore, the Tsar still had a large number of supporters in and around Constantinople. With the cooperation of Grand Duke Nicholas Nikolayevich, the great-uncle of Empress Alexandra, the Roman army easily entered Constantinople. However, Napoleon IV had no intention of giving up at the first sight. Instead, he ordered the Roman intervention force, with the cooperation of the navy, to march straight in and occupy the military fortress Sevasportor on the Crimean Peninsula. "Your Majesty! Good news! Good news!" (Napoleon I's grandson) ran in, his excitement palpable, "Sevasportor has fallen into our hands. The Russian Black Sea Fleet stationed there has sworn allegiance to the Queen! This time The door to Kiev is open! "Oh! Great!" Napoleon IV suddenly rose, and the progress was so smooth. He couldn't help but smile with joy, "How many Russian troops are on our side now?" "The Russian Constantinople Army, Crimean Army, and Black Sea Fleet have all declared their allegiance to the Queen. In addition, Russia The Arctic Fleet, the Russian Western Siberian Army Group, and the Russian Transcaucasian Army also declared their allegiance to the Queen! "Good! Good!" Napoleon IV kept nodding, looking extremely satisfied. After all, Russia is a big country with a population of tens of millions, and it has always had a military tradition. It is almost an impossible task to rely entirely on external forces to support a puppet regime in Russia. But now that there are 1 million Russian troops loyal to Queen Alexandra, this intervention war is very promising. "How many Russian troops have pledged their allegiance to the All-Russian Revolutionary Committee now?" Napoleon IV asked again with concern. ¡°The total number is only a few hundred thousand, together with the Red Guard militias in Petersburg, Moscow (a revolution also occurred three days after the revolution in Petersburg), and Kiev (fell into the hands of the Revolutionary Committee a week after the revolution in Petersburg). , only three hundred thousand." "Okay! Okay!" Napoleon IV shouted. He finally relaxed and said, "It seems that most of the Russian troops are still neutral. It seems that the situation is favorable to us." It is also very common for the army to remain neutral or defect when the revolution breaks out in European revolutions of this era. If all armies obeyed orders and obeyed orders, there would be no revolution in Europe.??. But if a revolution wants to win in the end, it usually needs the support of a majority of the army, otherwise it will only be annihilated. For example, the French Revolution of 1848 gained the support of the army, thus successfully overthrowing the Orleans Dynasty and establishing a new order. The American Revolution not long ago also gained the support of most of the US military, so the British were completely defeated. In the British Revolution, most of the British army chose neutrality. Therefore, the British Revolutionary Committee only controlled a few large cities and was unable to gain national governance. The last group of socialists had to introduce Prince William of Germany, the grandson of Queen Victoria. When he became king, he established a socialist United Kingdom. This won the support of most of the British team. The All-Russian Revolutionary Committee in Russia is now facing the same difficulties as the British revolutionaries. It is unable to obtain the support of most of the Russian army. Their revolution has not yet succeeded! : "I also received news that the All-Russian Revolutionary Committee is considering convening a Duma meeting and may formulate a constitution for a constitutional monarchy." "Haha, it seems that they also want to imitate the British. If everything goes well, this intervention is very likely not to happen. Win the battle Give Marshal Leboeuf an order not to march towards Kiev for the time being. "Marshal Leboeuf is the commander-in-chief of the Roman intervention army and is currently in Constantinople. "Your Majesty still plans to keep the Russian Revolutionary Committee?" Valevsky asked softly. "Keep it for now. If they are pushed too hard, they will soon pass a new constitution to welcome back Queen Alexandra! Moreover, it is already autumn, and it will snow soon. The Russian winter is very cold. I don¡¯t want to repeat the mistakes of Napoleon I.¡± Napoleon IV did have the idea of ????taking advantage of the Russian Revolutionary Committee¡¯s unstable footing to quickly march into Petersburg, but he knew that ending the Russian Revolution now would not be beneficial to the Roman Empire. Queen Alexandra is still a toddler less than 2 years old. She is still far from the age of marriage, and may not even grow up to be an adult. Therefore, Napoleon IV must receive more guarantees and benefits in order to end this intervention. ¡°¡®At least we need to get a letter of guarantee from Grand Duke Alexander and the new Russian government It would be best to bring Empress Alexandra to Paris to raise her. ¡¯ Napoleon IV thought silently. ¡ ¡°The People¡¯s Popular Party doesn¡¯t want to overthrow the Tsar anymore?¡± Zhu Jishi couldn¡¯t help being surprised after receiving the news from Russia from Jiang Zhaocong. For the news in Petersburg, he was better informed than Napoleon IV. Now the British Provisional Government (former Revolutionary Committee) maintains close contact with the All-Russian Revolutionary Committee, and Jiang Zhaocong also led an observation delegation of the Chinese Socialist Party directly to Petersburg and stayed in the recently evacuated Ming Dynasty Embassy. The retreating Chinese embassy personnel also left the radio station in place, so Jiang Zhaocong could use long-wave radio to keep in touch with the country at any time. "This shouldn't be the way Nechayev behaves." Zhu Jishi was a little confused. Zhu Jishi knew that there had always been two factions within the International Workers' Association: the Socialist Party and the Public Opinion Party. The former is relatively moderate, and the Polish Socialist Party, the German Socialist Party, and now the British Socialist Party all belong to this group. The latter acted in extreme ways and held high the banner of violent revolution and revolution to the end. How could he easily compromise with the supporters of the tsar? : "Perhaps he was intimidated by Napoleon IV's armed intervention?" "That shouldn't be the case, right? Now the German Empire supports the All-Russian Revolutionary Committee, and William I and Bismarck don't want to see a Napoleon become the Russian Czar in the future. ! And it is already November, and winter is about to begin in Russia. It is impossible for the Roman intervention forces to attack Petersburg in one go. " "There are still many socialists and socialist revolutionaries in the All-Russian Revolutionary Committee, and they may not support public opinion. The extreme line of the party, maybe they are at work,¡± Maria tried to explain. "How can a group of socialists defeat the People's Democratic Party?" Zhu Jishi knows the line of the Socialist Party very well. The Socialist Party is basically a democrat, while the People's People's Party is an unscrupulous terrorist. "There must be a ghost here!" "This is true, or is it a delaying tactic by the People's Democratic Party?" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
