    Under the instigation of Comrade Vladimir and the Socialist Party, those refugees, defeated troops, workers and even some local people who wanted to take advantage of the situation were already filled with hatred for the Tsar and the Duma by their propaganda during this period.  ng immediately recognized the nature of this reactionary government, and then armed themselves with fanatical slogans, with love for the motherland and hatred for the reactionary government and foreign invaders, towards the south bank of the Neva River controlled by the Duma and the  The Kameney Island controlled by the tsar launched an attack. "These b-citizens should all go to hell, target them, and let them taste the taste of cannons." Nikolai looked across the Small Neva River from the Peter and Paul Fortress on Rabbit Island.  The dense firelight crowding the bridges said viciously.  On the fort next to him, a coastal defense gun was pointed directly at the city on the north bank. Following the orders of His Majesty the Tsar, large-caliber shells flew out from the muzzle, and then exploded in the capital of the Russian Empire.  Huge balls of fire.  The rebels on the opposite side were also not to be outdone. The Socialist Workers Party had been preparing for this war for a long time, and they could not avoid the Peter and Paul Fortress no matter what. The large-caliber coastal defense artillery of this fortress controlled the entire St. Petersburg. They  If you want to attack the main city on the south bank of the Neva River, you must pass the bridges connecting the two banks, and these bridges are completely exposed to the muzzles of the fortress.  Because they control the largest artillery factory in Russia, workers fighting for freedom during this period cast more than a dozen 240 and even 280 mm heavy artillery pieces. In addition, there were several Chinese-made 280 mm howitzers that were being repaired in the arsenal.  Now these have become their weapons to greet His Majesty the Tsar. As soon as the coastal defense guns of the Peter and Paul Fortress opened fire, these giant guns that had been on standby at the artillery positions in the refugee camps immediately began to fight back, and huge shells roared across the sky.  , exploded in the Neva River next to the fortress under Nikolai's dumbfounded gaze.  "Your Majesty, this is very dangerous. Please go down below and take cover immediately." The loyal Wrangel said anxiously from the side.  "No, I am the Tsar, and I want to fight with my guards." Nicholas said with a determined expression.  "Your Majesty, the rebels haven't reached here yet. It's just an artillery battle now. This is the job of the artillery. If they occupy Kamene Island, you will be in charge of the battle at that time." Wrangel said hurriedly.  Nicholas was very satisfied with this reason. He also knew that staying on the fort was purely adding to the chaos. He was not a battle-experienced commander like his uncle.  It would be tragic if a shrapnel killed him, so after showing his soldiers the courage of the Tsar, he followed the advice of his loyal ministers and hid in his hideout under the castle.  The defenders on the Peter and Paul Fortress began an artillery battle with the rebels. If the latter wanted to reach Rabbit Island, they first had to capture Kamene Island. Nicholas's 10,000 Guards were guarding this island.  On the island, they relied on the artillery support of the Peter and Paul Fortress to firmly hold on.  And just as the war started on their side, the rebels also launched an attack on the Duma-controlled area on the south bank of the Neva River. The Socialist Party has now armed more than 100,000 people, vowing to wipe out these reactionaries in one fell swoop.  In addition to the main force attacking several bridges on the Neva River from the front, especially the newly built Holy Trinity Bridge, another rebel army coming from the south for reinforcements was also attacking northward.  The mercenaries under the control of the Duma persisted in fighting even though they were attacked from both sides. They and the Socialist Party had incurred many blood debts during this period.  I also knew very well that if the Socialist Workers' Party seized power, they would probably have to be pushed to the Neva River for target practice. In addition, I also heard that China might send troops to intervene, so I had a strong will to resist.  In this way, the entire St. Petersburg was completely caught in the flames of war.  Artillery shells of various calibers roared in the sky, horrific explosions occurred one after another, and the firelight reflected the night sky red.  The ancient city was reduced to ruins piece by piece under the gunfire. Those unlucky people hid in the basements of their homes one by one, holding their heads and crying, waiting for the judgment of their fate.  At this time, everyone was red-eyed. Who cared about the casualties of ordinary people, especially on both sides of the bridges that were the main fighting areas. Both sides simply dragged the infantry artillery to the shore and fired at them across the Neva River. Those on both sides represented this city.  The beautiful architecture of the city's image suffered a disaster. The statue of Suvorov on the Champ de Mars Square was blown off its head by a cannonball.  The Winter Palace, which had been half destroyed in the last battle, was completely in ruins this time. Its position was really bad. The shells that bombarded the Peter and Paul Fortress fell slightly on its head. In addition, those  The level of the rebel army was almost the same. This poor palace was hit by more artillery shells than the Peter and Paul Fortress. It did not have the same protective capabilities as the latter. A 280 artillery shell could destroy half of it.  Not only the Winter Palace, but also Smolny Palace and Kazan Cathedral were all affected by the war, and the whole of St. Petersburg was in flames.  "At the same time that the two sides in St. Petersburg officially started the war, regardless of whether the Duma??Both Nicholas and the Socialist Workers Party issued a call to the country, calling on the people to rise up and fight against the rebels or reactionary government. Moreover, the Socialist Workers' Party also officially announced the establishment of the Russian People's Republic. As for their program of attacking local tyrants and dividing their land, naturally  It was once again confirmed to the Russian people.  After both sides issued their respective calls, the whole of Russia was completely plunged into a melee. However, the vast majority of Russians supported the Socialist Party. After all, their things were more popular, and the loan agreement just signed by the Russian government also  It really hurt the hearts of the people, especially the Russian soldiers on the front line who had not yet been disbanded. They caused mutinies everywhere. The mutinous soldiers killed their commanders, organized soldier committees to appoint commanders at all levels, and then held up  Flags of the Russian People's Republic poured into St. Petersburg from everywhere.  The same number of Russian troops who were willing to fight for the empire were also organized to fight these rebel soldiers everywhere. In cities and rural areas, the armed forces of trade unions, peasant associations and capitalist landlords who were already in a quasi-war state were also included.  The last disguise was completely torn off, and all the minions were revealed to start a bloody fight.  The whole world was stunned by the chaos in Russia. The new Secretary-General of the United Nations, Wilson, the last president of the United States nominated by the Confederacy, issued a statement expressing serious concern about the turmoil in Russia and calling on all parties to stop armed conflicts and use peaceful means.  Resolve differences.  ¡°Of course, what he said is pure fart to all parties in Russia who have already had their brains blown out. If they still resolve their differences through peaceful means, is that what we call differences?  That¡¯s called irreconcilable opposition!  There is no other way out than a life-and-death struggle.  Russia¡¯s neighboring countries have also expressed concern. The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement, strongly condemning the rebellion of the Socialist Workers¡¯ Party and hoping that the rebels would immediately step back from the brink and surrender to the government. Otherwise, they will be killed for their unjust actions.  Germany issued a statement expressing serious concern and hoping that the Russian government could start a dialogue with the Socialist Workers' Party to find a political solution acceptable to both parties and avoid causing more bloodshed and casualties.  The Ottoman Empire issued a statement strongly condemning the Socialist Party and claimed that as a member of the United Nations, the Ottoman Empire was willing to provide the Russian government with all help it could if the Russian government needed it.  The Kingdom of Austria-Hungary and the Kingdom of Romania expressed serious concerns But the Swedish government's actions are very practical. The Swedish government announced that it would freeze the deposits of the Socialist Party in all Swedish banks. However, this is of no use. Germany has officially taken over Finland. If they are willing  Even the Big Bertha howitzer can be sent to Vladimir by train. Anyway, at this time, the Allied armies in Germany handed over to Germany enough weapons to arm millions of people. They had plenty of surplus combat materials, and the Socialist Party  It also has complete control of the railway from Finland to St. Petersburg.  "Don't worry, everyone. I still say that I will not allow any king's flag to fall. However, the issue of sending troops must be approved by Congress. This may take some time, and I don't think the Socialist Party has the ability to truly threaten  Under the rule of the Tsar and your government, in the final analysis they are just a bunch of mobs. Archduke Nicholas and General Makarov still have a large number of troops loyal to the Tsar and the government. As long as they open the rebel defense lines and march directly to St. Petersburg, they can easily  To put down the rebellion, what they lack now is nothing more than supplies. I can provide this to you without the approval of Congress. It just so happens that you still have a lot of funds in your hands, and our troops are in Chelyabinsk, Istanbul, and Baku.  There is a large amount of supplies stored in other places, you can just pay here and let them disburse it directly," Yang Feng said to Archduke Mikhail and Count Witte who came to ask for help.  These two people had no objection at all. In fact, if they had no other choice, they would not want the military of other countries to interfere. After all, this is Russia's internal affairs, and it would be too shameful for China to send troops to help quell the rebellion.  Point, besides, St. Petersburg is tens of thousands of kilometers away. Even if China sends troops, it will be far away and cannot quench its thirst. Grand Duke Nicholas¡¯s army is in Ufa and Makarov¡¯s army is in Rostov. They are much closer. If  With sufficient supplies of supplies, there is no problem in defeating the rabble of the Socialist Party. If the railways are open, it will probably take a week to reach St. Petersburg from these two places.  ¡°After all, the two of them still don¡¯t understand what the vast ocean of people¡¯s war is. At this time, the poor devils in Russia are as excited as chicken blood. How can they let these reactionary government¡¯s minions run safely to strangle the great republic?  Want to know more exciting news about "The Rise of the Erdao Dealer"?  Open WeChat now, click the "+" sign in the upper right corner, select Add Friends to add a public account, search for "zngwenwng", follow the public account, and never miss any update again!  To be continued.  mm.  00sy.  £ï£í
