I'm playing whack-a-mole in Siberia

Chapter 494 Shameless

The Russian assassins are now crazy. No matter who they are or what they have done, as long as they work for the tsar, they are all on the assassins' assassination list.

Suzy Kim is the head of the secret police, damn it!

Sergei deserves to die for his high-pressure rule in Moscow!
Stolypin distributed the tsar's land to civilians and worked hard to increase farmers' income. Why should he be killed?
Many questions had no answers. Stolypin himself did not dwell on this issue. He turned the rope on the gallows into a "Stolypin tie". Anyone who was an enemy of the empire would die!

George would not dwell on these issues. There are no gallows in the Far East, only medical laboratories and isolated mines.

The vast majority of unemployed workers are forced to take to the streets because of desperation. Their purpose of taking to the streets is not to rebel, but to survive, nothing more.

Unemployed workers were Stolypin's responsibility, while George was only responsible for military reform.

In George's view, except for the Guards and necessary local garrisons, the rest of the army should be reduced to about 60 people.

"George, are you crazy? This is absolutely not okay!"

Little Nicholas was frightened, your attack was too cruel.

The riot in Poland was not large in scale and was quickly extinguished. As soon as little Nicholas returned to St. Petersburg, he was called by George to the Peter and Paul Fortress for a meeting.

"In addition to the regular army, we also have 120 million reserves, which is enough."

George hopes that St. Petersburg, like Amur, will adopt the route of elite soldiers.

"No, no, absolutely not. Not only cannot the total force be reduced, but it must also be increased. Otherwise, the security of the empire cannot be guaranteed."

Nicholas Jr. objected. The environment in St. Petersburg was worse than that in Amur.

There was a major disarmament after the Amur war. In addition to the local garrisons, only two divisions, the Fu Division and the Ha Division, were retained. The reduction was very thorough.

After Japan was completely defeated, Amur's external environment in the Far East was fundamentally improved. The only potential threat was the Qing Empire.

Qing Empire——

The domestic situation of the Qing Empire was more serious than that of the Russian Empire. It was too overwhelmed to take care of itself and had no ability to pose a threat to Amur.

Once there are changes in the Far East, George can also mobilize troops from Goryeo and East India, so even if Amur's mobile force only has two divisions, there will be absolutely no problem in terms of security.

St. Petersburg is surrounded by wolves. Its mortal enemy, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, has 50 troops. The Ottoman Empire is about the same. Germany has about 77 standing troops.

Although for now, the relationship between Russia and Germany is not bad, George knows very well that as time goes by, the relationship between the Russian Empire and Germany will deteriorate completely sooner or later.

In George's plan, not all of the 60 people were Guards. Excluding local garrisons, the total strength of the Guards was only 30.

For the Russian Empire, 30 people is indeed a bit small.

But if these 30 people are all the elite troops in George's plan, then it will be enough for the Russian Empire.

The Ottoman Empire was too far away from St. Petersburg to pose a limited threat.

Although Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire were close, there was France on the opposite side, so it was impossible to concentrate forces to attack the Russian Empire.

In the early days of the outbreak of the World War, William II placed his main attack targets in the direction of France and was on the defensive in the direction of the Russian Empire and did not actively attack.

William II's strategy was the same as Mustache's, which was to defeat France first and then turn around to deal with Russia.

Therefore, even if a world war breaks out, the Russian Empire will still have time to mobilize.

Unfortunately, after the outbreak of the World War, Nicholas and Nicholas Jr., who was appointed commander-in-chief of the Russian army, were enthusiastic and took the initiative to attack the German-Austrian forces. As a result, they were beaten to a bloody head and suffered heavy losses. Although the Russian army performed outstandingly under the command of Brushinov during the World War, the Russian Empire was ultimately destroyed due to internal conflicts.

George didn't want to persuade one by one, so he went to the Winter Palace with little Nicholas and Alexei.

At the Winter Palace, George elaborated on his strategic vision for the first time.

The German-Austrian Alliance was dominated by Germany. Once a world war broke out, William II would definitely attack Britain and France first, and finally deal with his big cousin in St. Petersburg.

Therefore, the Russian Empire can hold on and wait until both the German-Austrian Alliance and the British and French Allied Forces are defeated, and then the Russian Empire will come to the end to clean up the mess.

"George, you are so shameless——"

After listening to George's introduction, little Nicholas's eyes changed when he looked at George.

George gave little Nicholas a cold look in return.

Shameless?
In the Russo-Japanese War, France, as an ally of the Russian Empire, didn't care if it didn't help. Instead, it went crazy and bought Japanese government bonds. Are the French shameless?

With France's shamelessness at the forefront, why would the Russian Empire sacrifice its life for the French?

To take a step back, from a national standpoint, there is no such thing as shameless or shameless. The British armed Japan to pursue and intercept the Russian Empire. Is this treating the Russian Empire as a relative?
The anti-British treaty signed by Nicholas and Wilhelm II during the Russo-Japanese War has fully demonstrated the relationship between the Russian Empire and Britain.

Wherever there are relatives, they are all interests.

"There is a question. If Britain and France are defeated, will we be able to defeat the German and Austrian forces alone?"

Alexei doubted the combat effectiveness of the Russian army.

Before the Russo-Japanese War, Alexey's group was crazy. Kuropatkin went to Japan to visit, and finally concluded that the Japanese army was far inferior to the Russian army because the Japanese army did not have religious blessings.

After arriving in the Far East, Kuropatkin was most proud of building 15 military chapels for the Russian troops in Kwantung.

"The German-Austrian forces may be able to defeat the French army, but they will never be able to cross the English Channel."

George knew the British too well. France, like the Russian Empire, was used as a weapon by the British.

If the British and French forces cannot hold it, the British will definitely turn around and run away, and they will never fight to the death between France and Germany.

Although the Royal Navy's battleships cannot reach land, they are more than enough to block the English Channel.

George did not believe that when Britain retreated to its homeland, the German and Austrian forces dared to ignore the British threat and attack the Russian Empire with all their strength.

If that extreme situation really happens, George is not afraid.

With the war potential of the Russian Empire, as long as it is not bulldozed, the Russian Empire will be able to fight back without mercy, and no one will be able to do it.

"George, this is the worst case scenario. We and Germany are not at the point where we have to go to war."

Nikolai was still naive.

There really wasn't much of a problem between Germany and the Russian Empire.

But there must be a war between the Russian Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

By then, no matter how good the relationship between William II and his cousin in St. Petersburg is, he will be tied to the Austro-Hungarian Empire's chariot.
