I'm playing whack-a-mole in Siberia

Chapter 490 Kill them all

Since Georgi's death, George has never been back to St. Petersburg.

This has nothing to do with Nicholas, the main thing is that the Grand Dukes in St. Petersburg are so disgusting.

George's requirements for the princes were not very high. Wouldn't it be better to just take his salary and be an idle prince? Why do you have to go out to work?

Nicholas has also been having a hard time in the past few years. His and Alex's first four children were all girls. They finally had Alexei, but they also suffered from hemophilia. Thinking about it makes people despair.

It was the princes who targeted George in St. Petersburg, never Nicholas.

Now all the grand dukes are dead and retired, and only Nicholas Jr. and Alexey are still holding important positions. These two are certainly not capable of leading the military reform of the Russian Empire. Except for George, no one can undertake this task.

Speaking of which, Nikolai was pretty good to George. The Baltic Fleet was in such a state of ruin, and Nikolai did not ask George for the two full-heavy artillery battleships.

The appointment of George as governor of the Far East entrusted all the affairs of the empire in the Far East to George. This trust is still unparalleled in St. Petersburg.

George did not want to watch the empire fall. If St. Petersburg collapsed, Amur would not be much better.

The Bolsheviks were determined to seize power by force.

George had to do more than just improve.

Milyutin was still calm. Brusinov was so excited that he couldn't sleep since he knew he was going to return to St. Petersburg. For him, this time was also a glorious return home.

The Russian Empire is very ill now, and just improving it cannot fundamentally solve the problem.

At most, you have a certain right to speak and can make your own voice heard, but it cannot play a decisive role.

This is doomed to be in vain. Mensheviks mean "minority" in Russian. If you consider yourself a minority, how can you possibly gain rights through cooperation?

"If it's just about improvements, what's the point of going to St. Petersburg -"

"This is a good opportunity to eliminate long-standing abuses and we should not miss it."

After the 2nd Duma was dissolved, the Social Democratic Labor Party disintegrated and split into the Mensheviks and the Bolsheviks.

Brusinov approved of George's strong drug use.

George originally planned to wait until after the New Year before heading to St. Petersburg.

The Menshilk still fantasized about gaining power in a cooperative manner.

George is a member of the royal family, and he returned to St. Petersburg with the illustrious military exploits of defeating Japan. Although the nickname "Contemporary Military God" is a bit shameful, the Russians just accept it.

"Military reform cannot solve all problems. In my experience, certain improvements can only be made under the existing system. Even so, it is more difficult than you think."

The Mensheviks were better off. Although Nicholas lost his power after taking power, he would not be killed.

In the whole of Russia, only Milyutin is qualified to say this.

This time, George took Milyutin and Brusinov back to St. Petersburg, leaving Yeroshin to cooperate with Mikhail in Amur.

Nicholas couldn't wait and hoped that George could return to St. Petersburg as soon as possible to preside over the military reform work.

George was not in a hurry. Military reform was of great importance and could not be completed in a short time. With Nicholas's character, he might have changed half of it and had some weird new ideas.

In St. Petersburg, Brusinov did not get many opportunities. After arriving in the Far East, he was idle. After George became the commander-in-chief of the Russian army in the Far East, Brusinov finally got a stage to show his abilities.

After the Bolsheviks came to power, they would not let Nikolai go, nor would they let George go.

Now Brusilov finally realized what it means to enjoy the shade with your back against a big tree.

In the past, Brusinov firmly believed that gold would shine.

He indeed gained the Tsar's trust and was transferred from the local military district to the Guards.

But that's all. If you want to go further, you have to become a confidant of a big shot like Alexeyev.

As a foreigner, Brusinov's life in Amur was not pleasant. He could vaguely feel that George's group of arrogant soldiers would reject him in a subtle way, which prevented him from fully integrating into Amur.

Compared with Amur, Brusilov felt that St. Petersburg was more suitable for him.

It was painful and joyful to be around George. Although he could learn a lot, every time he saw George, Brusilov would think of the shadow that George had ravaged during the Rovno exercise. .

This is Brusinov’s first time riding George’s special train.

George's patent was very comfortable and fast. It used two locomotives in tandem as power. The original 14-day journey took only 11 days to reach St. Petersburg.

Nicholas did not come to pick him up. The person who greeted George at the train station was Nicholas Jr., the Secretary of War.

"Thank God you're finally here!"

Little Nicholas was as thin as a bamboo pole, and he was no longer the high-spirited commander of the Guards.

Little Nikolai is over two meters tall. He is not as stubborn as Sergey. He drives the armored car directly onto the platform, and it is also the kind of armored command vehicle used to command operations.

"How are you lately?"

George and little Nicholas got into the same car.

"As you can see, it's not good at all, it sucks!"

Little Nicholas looked haggard and his hair was thinning, probably due to too much stress.

Compared with a few years ago, St. Petersburg has changed a lot. From the train station to the Winter Palace, there are many ruins blocked by wooden boards on both sides of the road. This is all caused by the chaos of the past few years.

Pedestrians on the street are walking in a hurry, and they no longer see the cheerfulness and friendliness they once had. Only acquaintances say hello, as if strangers are secret police.

The soldiers patrolling the streets all appeared in small teams and were fully armed. Some soldiers were also equipped with blast shields, which made George incredible.

This is the capital of the Russian Empire.

Even the situation in the capital has deteriorated to this point, and other regions will only become even worse.

"The year before last, there were riots in Moscow, and nearly 2 people died. Moscow is still under martial law, and St. Petersburg is almost the same."

Little Nikolai's expression was indifferent, looking more and more like Old Nikolai.

George didn't know if he was becoming more and more like Ya Er in the eyes of others.

In fact, it's okay to be like Ya Er, as long as it's not Nikolai.

"What are you going to do?"

Nicholas Jr. wondered how George would implement military reforms.

"Let's take a look first. Do you have any suggestions for me?"

Jumping to hear what little Nicola has to say.

"Kill all those who disobey!"

As soon as little Nicholas opened his mouth, George was startled.

"Or send them to Siberia for mining - how many members of the State Duma who were exiled to Siberia some time ago are still alive?"

George couldn't answer little Nicholas's question, he was in no mood to care about those unlucky congressmen.
