I'm playing whack-a-mole in Siberia

Chapter 182 The Grand Duke of Bulgaria
  Stefan Stambolov has been very anxious these days. He knows that the former Russian Army Minister Milyutin and the legendary brutal and brutal Yurievsky Super Duke George went to the multi-regiment stationed on the outskirts of Sofia. , but I don’t know what exactly happened.

A few days ago, Stefan sent his cronies to deliver a batch of supplies to multiple regiments in the name of delivering supplies.

The supply convoy was intercepted as soon as it arrived at a checkpoint two kilometers away from the multi-regiment station. The supplies were left behind and all the manpower was sent back without any useful information.

You can't say there isn't one.

At least Stefan now knows that the soldiers at the checkpoint are all officers and soldiers of the Oak Regiment from the St. Petersburg Guards, and he did not see any officers and soldiers from multiple regiments. This is enough to show that Super Duke Yurievsky and his Oak Regiment have already After taking control of the situation, the officers of many regiments who were bribed by Stefan at a huge cost were in danger.

"Sir, Mr. Petkov has arrived." The butler hurriedly reported, Dimitr Petkov, and Stefan are both leaders of the Liberal Party.

Another leader of the Liberal Party, Vasily Radoslavov, went to Germany some time ago and is on his way back to Sofia.

"The situation is terrible. We are now basically certain that Gigert has been arrested and will be sent back to St. Petersburg. Archduke Karl and Baron Joseph are under house arrest. Now the multi-regiment garrison has been blocked by the Oak Regiment from St. Petersburg, and no one can enter or leave. Marshal Milyutin is frequently meeting with conservative liberals. A lieutenant colonel of the Oak Regiment led the troops to take over the defense of the palace. The situation of the Grand Duke is also not good." Petkov was in great panic, and Sofia seemed to have changed overnight. sky.

"What is General Stoichkov doing?" Stefan forced himself to calm down. The more critical the moment, the more important it was to stabilize the morale of the army.

Stoichkov is an officer of the Bulgarian Guards. He originally agreed with Stefan that if an unexpected incident occurred, Stoichkov's troops could ensure the stability of Sofia.

Stoichkov's troops were trained with the help of the Russian military, and most of the officers had served in the Russian army. However, in recent years, Stefan and Stoichkov have used various methods to Those officers gradually pulled themselves into their own camp. Even if some of them were emotionally inclined to the Russian Empire, they did not dare to show it.

"General Stoichkov went to many regiments yesterday and has not come out until today." Petkov's words gave Stefan a feeling that a catastrophe was about to happen.

"Don't worry, Vienna and Constantinople will not allow Russia to control the Kingdom of Bulgaria. Sofia is still under our control." Even he didn't believe what Stefan said.

At this time, there was a faint sound of gunfire in the distance, and the noise became louder and louder.

"Ivan, what's going on outside?" Stefan was furious.

Ivan, the butler, stumbled over and said in a panic: "Sir, it's bad, the Russians have entered the city -"

Stefan was stunned for a moment.

"Quick, we have to leave Sofia." Petkov picked up his hat and hurried out the door.

After George received Milyutin's support, a series of orders were immediately issued.

Milyutin does have a list here, which is as detailed as family members, home addresses, work positions, and kinship relationships.

With Maslov's assistance, George easily obtained Sofia's city defense map and terrain map, and then George sent troops into Sofia to impose military control on Sofia.

"Arrest people according to the list, don't miss anyone!" George searched according to the map, and no one was missing.

"Yes, Duke! Make sure to complete the mission!" Maslov personally took charge of arresting people.

George takes Demeter to the palace.

"So, we are rebels now?" Demeter still didn't know his position.

"No, we are the angels of justice!" George's ability to tell lies with open eyes won the charm of the Romanov family.

After Alexander became the Grand Duke of the Kingdom of Bulgaria, he built a new palace as his own palace on the outskirts of Sofia. This palace has not yet been built, so Grand Duke Alexander still lives in the palace of the former Ottoman Sultan.

The guards responsible for guarding the palace had long been replaced by soldiers from the Oak Regiment led by Vasily, and George and Demit had no hindrance.

When George arrived at the palace, Grand Prince Alexander was taking a lunch break. He was woken up from his bed by the guards and was still wearing pajamas when he was brought to George.

"Joseph, long time no see." The last time George and Grand Duke Alexander met was at the celebration surrounding Ya San's coronation. At that time, the relationship between the Russian Empire and the Kingdom of Bulgaria was still very good.

Unexpectedly, in just three years, everything has changed.

"George, what do you want to do?" Alexander still didn't know what happened.

"I'm here to inform you that you have been deposed. From now on, you will no longer serve as the Grand Duke of the Kingdom of Bulgaria. You can take your family and your private property and leave Sofia -" George was cold and did not want to do this at all. elegant.

What a coup.

Shouldn't it be bloody and bloody?

"What are you talking about? Who gave you the authority to do this? Where is the Tsar? I want to see the Tsar -" Grand Duke Alexander looked crazy and could not accept this reality.

"Okay, the Tsar is waiting for you in St. Petersburg, you can go find him." George was in a strange mood, not excited, let alone stimulating. He was as calm as when he ordered Ye Luoxin to give the troops extra meals tonight, without any disturbance.

"My rights were not given by the Tsar, and the Tsar has no power to remove me. Get out of here. This is my palace." Grand Duke Alexander didn't seem to understand the situation, and he stumbled towards George.

Yankov flew up and kicked Alexander to the ground.

George walked slowly to Alexander and squatted down, looked down at Alexander's resentful eyes, and sighed quietly to Alexander. "Isn't it good to just be your Grand Duke? Why do you want to be independent from the Empire? You are the Grand Duke of Bulgaria. You know the situation of Bulgaria best. Even if it breaks away from the Empire, Bulgaria will become a protectorate of other empires. Is there any difference between this and now?"

George really doesn't understand that if you want to get more power, you can do it smarter and end up like this, why bother, why bother.

"You are Russian, of course you are qualified to say this -"

Alexander put his hands on the ground, stood up unsteadily, looked at George and sneered.

"Bulgaria is surrounded by enemies on three sides. Once the war breaks out, Bulgaria will be attacked from two sides by the Ottoman Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Don't you just hope that Bulgaria will buy you time to prepare for the war, but none of you have ever considered Bulgaria!"

"Don't say it so nicely. Are the things you did just for Bulgaria?"

George was ruthless. Bulgaria's independence came at the cost of recognizing the Austro-Hungarian Empire's annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. This was also a betrayal of Greater Bulgaria.

The Russian Empire was besieged by the powers at the Berlin Conference and had to give in.

Even under such difficult circumstances, the Russian Empire fought for Bosnia and Herzegovina's autonomous status and was not completely annexed by the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Now Alexander actually agreed to the Austro-Hungarian Empire's annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina for his own selfish interests. George didn't know if Stefan regretted it now.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t know, Stefan should be arrested now, and after the situation stabilizes in two days, George can ask in person.

"Although I sacrificed Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria truly gained independent status, which was totally worth it!"

Alexander's words completely exposed his nature of a holy mother bitch.

This man is so pathetic, I need to help him.

This is Our Lady.

This man is so pitiful. Go and help him.

This is the Virgin Bitch.

Anyone who actively sacrifices the interests of others is a virgin bitch.

"If you don't leave, I'll ask you to speak to the judge in person at the National Trial Conference in a few days." George didn't want to talk nonsense to Alexander. A Luther who was destined to fail was not worth wasting too much time.

"Haha, okay, very good, I'm leaving, I'm leaving now, I want the whole world to know how hypocritical the Russians are."

Alexander certainly could not have imagined that his fate would change dramatically because of these words.

George looked at Yangkov, turned around and left without any nostalgia.

Yankov sneered and led a few strong men to follow Alexander and leave.

Don't get me wrong, I really didn't want to hang Alexander, I wanted to fake a scene of committing suicide out of fear of crime.

But to supervise Alexander not to take away anything that does not belong to him when he leaves.

When George left the palace, Archbishop Clement Turnovsky hurriedly arrived in a carriage.

Clemont served as Prime Minister of Bulgaria, but was forced to resign after only four months.

Clemont is leaning towards Russia, but there is a problem with his ability and he is unable to completely control the situation in Bulgaria.

This is not a problem. If he is not capable, George can help him.

"How is the Grand Duke?" Clemont was actually worried about Alexander. Alexander should be happy that not everyone in this country was against him.

It's a pity that Clemont did not gain Alexander's trust.

"The Grand Justice is packing up his personal property and preparing to leave Sofia." George walked forward slowly, Clemont followed closely.

"What are you going to do next?" Clemont is the transitional speaker chosen by Milyutin, and will be the actual controller of Bulgaria during the next period of time.

"If Grand Duke Alexander abdicates, then we will have to find a suitable heir." Clemont looked at George with regret on his face.

In fact, George's identity is quite suitable for him to be the Grand Duke of Bulgaria.

Unfortunately, at the Berlin Conference, the Russian Empire promised not to interfere in the selection of the Grand Duke of Bulgaria, so George was destined to never become the Grand Duke of Bulgaria.
