I'm playing whack-a-mole in Siberia

Chapter 702: Demolition of the Church

At this time in 1919, the term "terrorism" did not yet exist.

The first terrorist incident recognized by the world occurred on November 1940, 11, when the Hebrew terrorist organization Haganah blew up the Patria passenger ship carrying 25 people in Haifa Port, killing 3000 people.

At that time, people thought it was an accidental incident.

Unexpectedly, this was the beginning of the Hebrew people's terrorist establishment of a nation.

The Hebrews launched terrorist attacks in order to put the Arabs living in Palestine under threat at all times, squeeze the Arabs' living space, force the Arabs to leave Palestine, and give this "promised land" to the Hebrews.

The resistance forces in various countries can at most be called terrorist organizations.

The Hebrews call it state terrorism.

The Arabs were in disarray and unable to fight against the Hebrews supported by the United States, and they were defeated one after another.

If the Hebrews thought they could force Russia to make concessions in this way, they were wrong.

The militants who hijacked the ferry were not very professional. They thought that if they installed a bomb on the ship, the Russian government would be cautious.

The militants had no sense of self-protection. When the signal flag shooter entered the shooting position, one militant was even being interviewed by a reporter, attacking the Russian government for placing the Hebrew autonomous region in Yakutia.

The on-site commander determined the location of the four militants through a telescope. To ensure that they were killed immediately, he assigned two precision shooters to each militant.

"The Hebrews made great contributions to Russia, but they were not treated fairly. Grand Duke Yuriev also had Hebrew ancestry, but he betrayed the Hebrews and arranged for them to live in a very cold place that is not suitable for human survival at all—"

The militants interviewed spoke out wildly.

"You are talking nonsense. Grand Duke Yuriev is 100% a pure Russian."

The reporter who interviewed the militants was very angry and asked, "Why didn't you say that the Tsar was also a Hebrew?"

"I'm not talking nonsense. Grand Duke Yuriev has Hebrew ancestry on his mother's side, so Grand Duke Yuriev is also--"

Before the militant could finish his words, two bullets whizzed towards him. The reporter could even hear the whistling sound of the bullets piercing the air past his ears, and then he was sprayed all over the face with red and white gunpowder.

Then the reporter heard gunshots.

It turns out that the speed at which the bullet flies through the air is really faster than the speed at which sound travels.

Every signal flag soldier is an accurate shooter, and they have been tested in war. Any one of them can be a shooting instructor in the military academy.

All four militants were killed in the first opportunity, the hostages were safe and sound, and the hijacking incident was successfully resolved.

George isn't done here.

Although Russia established a self-governing Hebrew state, it did not force all Hebrews to settle in the autonomous state. In Hebrew communities in places such as Warsaw, there are still a large number of Hebrew churches for Hebrews to conduct religious activities.

After the ferry hijacking, George ordered the demolition of all Hebrew churches in Russia.

Witt has been with George for so long that he is quite familiar with his habits.

So Witte suggested that George issue the order in the name of Kerensky.

Kerensky is dead?

It doesn’t matter, this is Kerensky’s will.

"No, just publish it under my name."

George finally spared poor Kerensky.

If it was something else, it wouldn't matter if Kerensky took the blame.

This time, George wants to make his attitude clear to all Russians.

Grand Duke Yuriev never compromised when dealing with Russia's enemies.

George has the confidence to not compromise.

Why didn't George go to Paris for the peace conference?
Deep down, George looked down on Lloyd George and Clemenceau.

Not to mention Wilson.

If Wilson could stick to the "Fourteen Points", George would still look up to him.

As the President of the United States, he came to Paris with a high-profile attitude as the savior of Europe, but was manipulated by two old men, Lloyd George and Clemenceau.

Wilson also dreams of running in next year's election.

He will soon realize that idealists are simply not suited to living in this era.

Wilson also advocated the establishment of the League of Nations.

However, the US Congress did not approve the United States to join the League of Nations.

It is a wonder that the initiators were not able to join.

If Britain and France are stripped of their overseas colonies, they will become third-rate countries like the former maritime hegemon Spain.

George could develop Russia into a superpower spanning Asia and Europe without the need for overseas colonies.

Wilson, who had once dominated the world war but was about to be marginalized, had not yet realized the danger that was approaching.

After George ordered the demolition of all Hebrew churches in Russia, Wilson was interviewed in Paris and expressed disappointment with Russia's actions.

Wilson thought he had been very polite and was just "disappointed" but not slandering or attacking anyone.

Alexander doesn't think so.

"Disappointed? As a Scotsman living in the United States, what qualifications does he have to point fingers at Russia's internal affairs? I heard that the Scots in the UK are quite disappointed that he does not support Scottish independence. I wonder how the president will explain this."

Alexander was very aggressive. One of Wilson's "Fourteen Points" was national self-determination.

When Wilson first proposed the "Fourteen Points", the Scots were jubilant, believing that they could gain autonomy and even independence based on national self-determination.

Wilson is a man with no stance at all and a complete double standard. He proposed the so-called national self-determination purely for the sake of sensationalism, only because of the strong opposition from the British government, which even publicly stated that it did not support the Scottish people's pursuit of independence.

They do not even support the political demands of their own people, but are disappointed with Russia's demolition of churches.

Big brother, where are you from?

Although Alexander's words were sharp, his counterattack was restrained and he didn't say anything too harsh.

As the director of the Russian Religious Affairs Bureau, Nikolay the Younger is on full fire.

"The state religion of Russia is Orthodoxy. All religions other than Orthodoxy are illegal in Russia!"

When these words were spoken, even the Vatican was alarmed.

Many people don't notice the role of the Vatican in the world wars.

In fact, the reason why the Allied Powers and the Central Powers have always maintained a certain degree of contact is largely due to the Vatican.

Erzberg, who signed the armistice agreement on behalf of Germany, is a member of the Catholic Center Party.

After the European Reformation, although the power of the Holy See declined, it still had great influence in various countries.

Although Russia's state religion is Eastern Orthodoxy, Catholicism has not disappeared in Russia and still exists.

Now that Nicholas the Younger has publicly declared that all religions except Orthodoxy are illegal in Russia, this immediately attracted the attention of churches in various countries.

Unlike the Chinese who worship their ancestors, religion has a deep-rooted and unshakable position in the minds of Westerners.

Alexander had to clean up the mess for little Nicholas and took the initiative to explain to the media that little Nicholas had no intention of offending anyone, but was completely disappointed and furious with the Hebrews.

Although this explanation was far-fetched, churches in various countries still accepted it and forgave little Nicholas for his careless words.

What if I don't accept it?

Although Grand Duke Yuriev was not the Tsar, he angered the Tsar and was at most exiled to Siberia.

If you anger Grand Duke Yuriev, you will be chopped to death with an axe even if you escape to South America.

Little Nicholas may not have meant what he said, but Clemenceau and Lloyd George took it to heart.

During the Paris Peace Conference, the situation in Britain and France continued to deteriorate and did not improve.

The traditional skill of European countries is to use the Hebrews as scapegoats if social conflicts reach an irreconcilable level.

On June 6, the British and French media suddenly changed their tone and attributed the plight of Britain and France to the evil deeds of the Hebrews.

This is not made up out of thin air.

The trigger for the outbreak of World War I was the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand and his wife. The deeper reason was that the interests of European countries were irreconcilable and a new round of interest distribution was needed.

Continuing to dig deeper on this basis is caused by the growing productivity and unfair market structure.

To put it bluntly, Germany wanted Britain and France to open their colonial markets, but Britain and France disagreed.

The ruling classes of various countries have little to do with the Hebrews.

The improvement of productivity is not only related to the Hebrews, but also has a great impact on them.

Organizing industrial production requires capital, and the Hebrews were engaged in usury using capital.

Therefore, the British and French media portrayed the Hebrews as the masterminds behind the world war, insisting that it was the Hebrews' greed that led to the outbreak of the world war.

Although this reason is a bit far-fetched, the public does not have the ability to distinguish.

The British and French, who had long been dissatisfied with the status quo and were burning with anger but had nowhere to vent, finally found a way to vent their anger.

So Britain and France also started a new round of oil discharge.

Compared with the indiscriminate oil discharge by Britain and France, Russia was still very tolerant towards the Hebrews.

Hebrews living in Russia can continue to work and live in Russia as long as they give up Hebrewism and convert to Orthodoxy.

If you don't want to convert to Orthodoxy, then go to Yakutia or leave Russia.

When George first decided to demolish the church, Witte was worried that a new round of civil war would break out in Russia.

What Witt didn't expect was that even his wife took the initiative to convert to Orthodoxy and gave up her Hebrew identity.

Witt was amazed.

Can something as important as faith be changed so easily?

It was agreed that I would rather die than live without freedom.

"Compared to faith, survival is more important."

Mrs. Witte was unperturbed.

Even Clemenceau knew how to launch a public opinion offensive to achieve his goals, and George would not ignore the role of public opinion.

While Russia was demolishing churches, Russian media were also building up momentum. The Constantinople Daily published a bunch of data, one of which was a comparison of the Russian military.

The total number of Hebrews who joined the Russian army and fought for Russia during the World War was only 1.5, accounting for a pitiful one thousandth of the total.

In terms of proportion, the proportion of Hebrews joining the army is even far lower than that of Germans.
