I'm playing whack-a-mole in Siberia

Chapter 325 Not in vain

No matter how much trouble there is outside, George will not bring his work home.

George did not return to Yekaterin Palace, but went to Huachun on the outskirts.

Birch Village originally had no village, only a birch forest. After Nicholas occupied George's Oak Park, he gave George the Birch Village, which was much larger than the Oak Park.

The main house in Birch Village was built by Nicholas with reference to the Oak Park. It is in the standard Russian Empire pastoral style. The building materials used are not wood, but mainly marble.

George did not have high requirements for living standards, but since Ekaterina and Anne were also there, he could no longer make do with it.

George's sister Olga was also there.

In June, Olga will marry Vasily.

Vasily's father, General Suvorov, died the winter before last. Vasily has inherited the title of Duke. As the top nobleman of the Russian Empire, Vasily's wedding may not attract as much attention as Nicholas, but for the Russian military It's also a big deal.

Although the Suvorov family does not have a strong presence in St. Petersburg, it has great influence within the military.

Although they all tasted similar, Annie suddenly fell in love with stinky tofu.

George ridiculed that the land was given by Catherine.

After Vasily went to the Vladivostok city government to complete the formalities, he gave him some symbolic money, which was equivalent to about one-tenth of the land value.

Vasily himself also had a lot of salary and job income.

When Nicholas ascends the throne in two years, he will definitely issue a general amnesty, and Vasily will naturally become a general by then.

Annie used to like eating durian, but now she can't even smell it.

Since the house was built, Olga has moved like a squirrel, taking things away from Yuriev Palace every now and then.

Canned herring makes me want to vomit when I hear it.

Vasily is ready to move his family to Vladivostok——

But it doesn't matter. Olga has shares in a cosmetics company. Although she can't be said to be rich, she is still a decent little rich woman. Her annual dividends are much greater than the salary of Vasily, Duke Suvorov.

It was then obvious who Ekaterina was kissing.

If Olga wants to touch the collection of Yuriev Palace, Anna will not be able to pass the test.

"Did you buy that?"

See clearly, it's getting it back.

So when he saw Anne, George only felt peaceful and happy.

Vasily indeed paid for the house, and the bulk of it was subsidized by Ekaterina.

Anyway, whatever scolding he received from George can be taken back from Olga later.

George had a headache.

Vasily's only surviving relative is a sister, who married a Frenchman a few years ago.

"Then where do you want Olga to live in the future?"

Vasily didn't take it seriously and kidnapped his sisters. It was normal for him to be scolded a few times.

Vasily felt confident.

Olga moved the curtains and other things, but Ekaterina didn't care.

Therefore, the papers in Yuriev Palace are all numbered.

Vasily was now a colonel, and the next step would be a general.

"The mighty military god doesn't even have a home in St. Petersburg?"

Pregnancy still had some impact on Anne.

In Russia, Vasily had no friends.

"I bought a piece of land next to Yuriev Mountain and the house has been built."

George is not sure about the financial strength of the Suvorov family.

"Pooh!"

"I sold the Suvorov Palace -"

George has too many secrets.

Although George accepted Vasily as his brother-in-law, he always disliked Vasily and would scold Vasily every chance he got.

In fact, there is nothing to raise a family about.

Not scolding him back.

Vasily has now returned to St. Petersburg and is shamelessly living in Huachun.

After scolding Vasily, George felt refreshed.

Therefore, the marriage of Suvorov and Romanov has attracted a lot of attention within the Russian military.

George was succinct and clear.

"I paid for it! I also paid for the building of the house!"

As a staunch supporter of salted tofu puffs, Anne used to eat salty ones with George.

Now George eats sweets with Anne.

There is no wife in the wife cake. It used to be just a little joke between George and Anne.

Now in Huacun, wife cake is called Vladivostok bread.

"Just do it!" was George's mantra now.

Ekaterina, who has been doted on by Ya Er for 20 years, now looks more and more like an old man on the subway looking at his mobile phone.

"Will you always be so kind to me?"

Anne enjoyed George's favor.

"Of course, you're my sweetheart-"

George can blurt out any disgusting words now.

"Liar! Katya said you men are all big pigs."

Anne was deeply poisoned by Catherine.

"Katya was tricked into entering the palace by the Tsar when she was a teenager. This is her life experience."

George attributed someone's ignorance to the tyranny of the Tsar.

"But this is the happiness that belongs to Katya——"

Ekaterina is now Anne's idol.

George did not worry about who was happier, Anne or Katya. On November 11, the wedding of Nicholas and Alex was held on time at the Winter Palace.

Royal weddings are all about process, and no mistakes can be made in any aspect. The newlyweds Nicola and Alex are just wedding props. At 12:45, a 21-gun salute was fired from Petropavlovsk Castle, and Nikolai and Alex headed to Kazan Church surrounded by a guard of honor.

For members of the royal family across Europe, the wedding of any royal member is a collective carnival for the royal family.

Queen Mother Maria and her father, King Christian IX of Denmark, walked in the front, followed by Nicholas and Alex behind them.

The extra-long back of Maria's white silk skirt required four attendants to carry it. A skirt of this style would never have appeared when Ya San was alive.

Alex's veil also requires 4 attendants.

Behind Nikolai and Alex are the Grand Duke and Couple of Hesse, followed by the Grand Duke and Coburg of Coburg, the Prince of Wales and his wife, the Crown Prince and his wife of Romania, and then Nikolai's uncles.

George and Anne appear after Pavel, followed by Little Nicholas and his wife.

After receiving the metropolitan blessing in Kazan Church, Nicholas and Alex returned to the Winter Palace to complete the wedding ceremony.

The Queen Mother left early after the ceremony and returned to Gatchina Palace.

Nikolai and Alex are also going to Kazan Cathedral to pray.

The Romanov family prepared a huge silver swan for Nikolai, the newlyweds. Nikolai was busy answering telegrams all night and did not rest until very late.

Anne returned to Huacun after the wedding ceremony, and Ekaterina did not appear at the wedding scene at all.

"Are you hungry? Are you tired?"

Catherine had to worry about her grandson or granddaughter before she could care about Anne.

As for whether the wedding was grand and who was attending the wedding, Ekaterina didn't care.

"A little hungry——"

If Annie's weight is not controlled, she will soon develop into a Russian aunt.

I almost have a double chin!
Ekaterina was only responsible for feeding, and soon the coffee table next to Anne was covered with Anne’s favorite snacks.

The coffee table is a bit big.

Whatever Annie wants to eat, she only needs to take a look at it, and Nana, who is waiting next to her, will put it to Annie's mouth.

Ekaterina was very satisfied and finally realized the joy of being a mother-in-law.

Although Huacun has a "village" in its name, its standards are similar to those of the Winter Palace. Anne's snacks not only taste good, but also look good. They are made into various small animal images according to Anne's preferences.

Anne asked Nana to put a big tiger on a small plate.

Don't be in a hurry to eat.

Then she asked Nana to pick up a little fox and put it next to her.

Still not in a hurry to eat.

Sit next to him and watch with a smile.

Yekaterina's thinking began to diverge——

Hey, hey, is this the palace empress starting to reorganize the harem——

It’s not much better than an opera!
Nana lowered her eyebrows, feeling restless inside.

Madam, haven’t you seen what’s going on?
Your daughter-in-law is going to rebel!
George didn't care who rebelled.

The fire in his heart grew stronger and stronger.

The Japanese army shifted its target from the Liaodong Peninsula to the Jiaodong Peninsula, and the immigrants in Vladivostok were finally affected by the war.

The immigration route in Vladivostok was first concentrated from the interior of the Qing Empire to the Jiaodong Peninsula, then transferred through Jeju, and finally headed to Vladivostok.

Immigrants or workers board ships at Weihaiwei heading for Jeju.

The base of the Beiyang Navy is also in Weihaiwei.

On the day of Nikolai's wedding, the Japanese navy blocked Weihaiwei and prohibited ships from entering and exiting to prevent the warships of the Beiyang Navy from escaping.

An immigrant ship from Vladivostok was blocked in Weihaiwei and could not leave.

After Nicholas's wedding, George went directly to Prince Komatsunomiya Akihito, who had come to attend Nicholas' wedding.

"I don't care how you fight me, but if the war you start affects Amur's interests, you guys will take care of it yourself!"

George gave full play to the "barbaric" image of Russians to the outside world.

"We did not start the war. We were forced to defend ourselves in order to maintain peace throughout East Asia——"

Zhangren is both responsible and established.

"Using war to defend peace? You Japanese people have such a unique understanding of war and peace!"

George also has his own understanding of war and peace.

This book was written by a Russian.

"We will work hard to protect the interests of all countries in the Qing Empire——"

Akihito is a bit crazy. The interests of the Russian Empire in the Qing Empire need to be protected by you Japanese?

Be funny!

George has no control over other countries.

Russians will protect the interests of the Russian Empire in their own way.

"But what you are doing is destroying the interests of all countries in the Qing Empire!"

George knows how to cooperate.

What happened after the Sino-Japanese War?
The intervention of the Three Kingdoms returned Liao Dynasty, right?

Which three countries come from the Three Kingdoms?

Britain, France, the United States?

No, no, no, it’s Russia, France, and Germany.

France was the new ally of the Russian Empire.

Germany is a relative.

Live together!

Japan's attack on the Jiaodong Peninsula also had a major impact on German interests.

Germany has always regarded the Jiaodong Peninsula as its sphere of influence.

Although the Qing Empire did not admit it, it was just Germany's wishful thinking.

But this did not prevent George from pulling Heinrich and putting pressure on Japan together.

This work is not in vain.
