    At this time, Nicholas already knew the main reason for Stolypin's hasty entry into the palace. The reason for this situation was largely due to Russia's procrastinating bureaucracy, especially the situation in the entire country.  This situation becomes more serious when you are discouraged.  When he learned that a large number of arms were hidden in the refugee camp, Nicholas immediately realized that the rebellious officials were going to attack him. Although he scorned their ridiculous behavior, he immediately mobilized a close team stationed in St. Petersburg.  The guards ordered them to surround the refugee camp and conduct a search, and authorized them to shoot on the spot any rebels who dared to resist.  "Anyone who dares to block the movement of the Guards is a rebel. Such people will be shot on the spot without trial. I was too merciful in the past. It was my kindness that made them think they could challenge my authority at will. For  These traitors do not need to be exiled, bullets or the gallows are their best destination," His Majesty the Tsar said to General Wrangel, the commander of his Guards Division.  Unfortunately, it was too late for him to realize it at this time. Just as Wrangel and his men rushed to the refugee camp, or slum, they happened to run into the warriors rushing out of it. It was already dark by this time.  Neither side could see each other clearly at first, and it was only when the distance narrowed to less than a hundred meters that they were shocked to find that everyone had firearms in their hands.  "The Tsar's lackeys!" One of the warriors yelled first, and all of a sudden both sides woke up. They all fell to the ground almost at the same moment and then opened fire with the submachine guns in their hands.  The sailors on the cruiser Aurora had loaded their cannonballs and aimed them at the Winter Palace, and were now waiting for the signal to take action. When they heard the sound of gunfire from the direction of the refugee camp, the sailor in the lead yelled without hesitation:  "Fire!" The eight 240 main guns completed the first salvo in a very short time. It is only two kilometers away from the Winter Palace at most. The sailors are also veterans who have experienced the battlefield. At such a distance,  What else could go wrong when attacking a building twice the size of the USS Nimitz? Five of the eight nearly 200 kilogram shells hit the Winter Palace.  Fortunately, Nikolai was facing away from the Aurora at this time.  At this time, he was distractedly watching Her Majesty the Queen educating several princesses. Crown Prince Alexei went to the Swedish Young Medical Center. Originally, the experts hoped that the Queen could go there and take care of her in person, but Her Majesty the Queen believed that she should not do it during the war.  He left his country, so he sent his eldest daughter Olga there to accompany his younger brother. At this time, the princess, or Her Highness the Grand Duchess according to her current title, was already fourteen years old.  The sudden huge explosion shocked the whole family.  "Where are the cannonballs?" Nicholas shouted angrily at the guards who rushed over as the Winter Palace trembled violently.  "Your Majesty, this is the Aurora!" The second round of shells fell as soon as the guard finished speaking.  "It's a rebellion. We can't stay here anymore. Go to the fortress immediately!" Queen Alexandra said very calmly.  By this time her husband also woke up.  While furiously cursing those rebellious ministers and traitors, he quickly left the Winter Palace under the protection of the guards and fled by car through the Holy Trinity Bridge to the Peter and Paul Fortress on the north bank of the Neva River. As for how to deploy troops to suppress the rebellion, that was up to him.  The matter was over, but the Aurora had to be dealt with first. Under his personal command, the coastal defense guns of the Peter and Paul Fortress immediately aimed at the Aurora. This giant fortress, the brainchild of the Romanov family, became  The artillery battle between the two sides in his base camp where he stubbornly resisted made the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait unlucky.  At this time, the Guards led by Wrangel suffered a disastrous defeat. The Aurora bombarded the Winter Palace, completely opening up the hatred of the residents of the city against the Tsar.  After experiencing the last tragedy, the people had already regarded Nicholas as an enemy. Coupled with the confirmation of the defeat, they also added contempt and resentment towards the tsarist government.  Now that I see someone taking the lead, why not hurry up and take action together.  Not to mention the Socialist Party, other political forces also saw the opportunity they dreamed of. You must know that at this time, the Socialist Party was not the only party in St. Petersburg. There were many political parties in the State Duma.  In the past, there was Storey's pressure on his head, but now he had an opportunity. For a while, the whole of St. Petersburg was ignited by the fire of the uprising.  And what makes Wrangel even more unlucky is that.  A large number of sailors from the Kronstadt military port also joined the rebellion. Although they could not drive out the battleships due to the freeze, it was only 20 kilometers from there to the refugee camp in the north of St. Petersburg through the ice. Twenty-eight of those high-speed battleships  The Zero main gun was able to bombard his hastily arranged defense line. Seeing this situation, Wrangel simply led his people to Kamene Island to protect Nikolai.  But until now, Nicholas does not believe that these rebellious parties can truly threaten his rule.The situation is just because the defenses of St. Petersburg are empty, which allows these rebels and traitors to take advantage of it. He has now sent telegrams to commanders on various fronts, asking them to come back immediately to quell the rebellion. As for the war, it has already come to this point.  If you win, you lose!  He still believed in the loyalty of these generals, such as Kuropatkin and his uncle Grand Duke Nicholas. These were all worthy of trust.  But it's a pity that he forgot that the generals' loyalty to him is of no use. The soldiers' unwillingness to defend him is what is really fatal. What's more, even the generals are dissatisfied with him because of the defeat. After all, he is actually already  It was considered a betrayal, but he didn't know it.  But at this time Vladimir also encountered trouble. Although they launched the uprising, when the uprising swept across St. Petersburg, the situation was no longer under their control because there were too many forces joining the uprising.  , I wouldn¡¯t have known it until it was launched, but once it was launched, I realized that there were so many people who opposed Nikolai.  It didn¡¯t take long for the rebel armies of all parties to add up to number as many as 50,000 to 60,000. Among them, only about 10,000 were actually controlled by the Socialist Workers¡¯ Party. This meant that the Socialist Workers¡¯ Party was still unable to seize power. This was really disappointing.  depressed.  And because the Socialist Party is illegal, the various political parties that followed the uprising, such as the Octobrist Party and the Cadet Party, are all public parties of the State Duma, and the leaders of these parties are all prominent in society.  Celebrities need money and connections. The joining of these people has made the Socialist Party increasingly weak. In this case, neither the Socialist Party nor these people are in the mood to attack the Peter and Paul Fortress. Everyone has to  Be wary of each other, everyone understands that once they attack this powerful fortress and suffer heavy losses, they will have no say.  In this way, after some chaos, the sound of gunfire and gunfire in St. Petersburg lasted for less than half a day before it subsided, including the bombardment of the Aurora. Of course, the reason why the heavy cruiser stopped bombarding was mainly because it was attacked by Petersburg.  The coastal defense guns of the Peter and Paul Fortress were destroyed and had sunk in the river. Of its eight 240-guns, only half of them could attack the Peter and Paul Fortress due to their parking position. How could it possibly defeat this world?  A top-notch fortress, but most of the Winter Palace was turned into ruins by it.  In this way, the situation in St. Petersburg quickly evolved into a confrontation between all parties. Nicholas, the loyal Wrangel and a group of noble ministers who were truly loyal to him controlled Kamene Island and the Peter and Paul Fortress, although they were small in number.  , but there is a powerful fortress.  The Socialist Workers Party controls the north bank of the Neva River, with the refugee camps as its core. They have no shortage of weapons and soldiers. They can arm 30,000 to 50,000 people including the workers, but they have no political base. To put it bluntly, there is no outside.  Once the counter-rebel troops from the front line arrive, they will be the first to destroy them.  The Capitalists of the State Duma controlled the main urban area on the south bank of the Neva River. Although these people were not the initiators of the uprising, they were legitimate state institutions. Although they were tamed like little sheep by Stolypin,  The State Duma is still the legal legislative body of Russia. No matter all walks of life or the military generals on the front line, they all recognize this sign. Vladimir is certainly incomparable in this regard.  Now that the uprising has reached this point, the next step depends on the choice of the frontline troops.  The war in St. Petersburg caused the whole world to be in an uproar. No one thought that Nicholas would be so unlucky. Not only was he beaten to a bloody head on the battlefield, but he was also stabbed by one of his own people at home. However, the chaos in St. Petersburg was not the same.  This means that this war has no meaning at all. The Allied negotiators in Stockholm formally proposed a voluntary ceasefire to the Allies, and then started a new round of peace talks again.  "If that's the case, then let's stop fighting, and order the front line to stop attacking. In addition, the bombing of Europe should also stop! Alas, it should have been like this a long time ago. How many people would have been saved if it had been like this. Let's do this, new negotiations  Don't hold it in Sweden. Look at the mess they are talking about. They have been talking for more than a year without any results. These useless guys are responsible for the millions of people killed and injured this year. The new negotiations will be held!  It will be held in Beijing, under my personal supervision, and a result must be reached this time. Also, what is going on in Russia? Who has the final say in their negotiations?  Which side does the representative represent? Is it the Tsarist government or the State Duma or something called the Socialist Party? This issue must be resolved before the negotiation. I am not even sure who to negotiate with!" Emperor Yang said very dissatisfied.  said his old friend Fox Waldzer, the chairman of the Allied Council who came to tell him the news of the Allied bloc's peace proposal.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
