Make France Great Again
Chapter 698 The conspiracy under St. Petersburg
The day after Prince Dolgorukov was imprisoned, Nikolai Orlov, the interim director of the Third Hall in civilian clothes, set out from the Winter Palace to a room a few kilometers away from the Winter Palace to talk to him. Meeting with Prince Litzen.
When Nikolai Orlov knocked on the door of the meeting place, the person who opened the door was a person whom Nikolai Orlov did not know.
"I'm sorry, I seem to have made a mistake!" Nikolai Orlov quickly pulled his hat down, covering the upper half of his face, and then responded. He didn't want anyone to recognize him.
"No!" The person in charge of opening the door smiled and emphasized to Nikolai Orlov: "Viscount Orlov, you are not wrong! Please come in!"
After saying that, he immediately made way for Nikolai Orlov.
Looking inside through the path he got out of the way, he happened to see Prince Golitsyn in the room.
At this time, Duke Golitsyn also discovered Nikolai Orlov, and he nodded to Nikolai Orlov.
Nikolai Orlov was immediately relieved when he saw Duke Golitsyn in the room, and he also quickly entered the room.
The door closed again as Nikolai Orlov entered. Nikolai Orlov entered the room and moved quickly towards Duke Golitsyn. Duke Golitsyn, who was sitting on the sofa, also did the same. He stood up and walked towards Nikolai Orlov. The two soon stood face to face, and their hands were held tightly together in the next second.
Then, Prince Golitsyn opened his mouth to introduce the people in the room to Nikolai Orlov.
After a round of introductions, Nikolai Orlov finally understood that these people in front of him were the commanders of regiments and brigades stationed around St. Petersburg.
The person who had just opened the door to Nikolai Orlov was a brigade commander stationed in Gatchina, southwest of Petersburg. His name was Varisi Andreevich, who was born into a family of a minor noble.
"Hello everyone!" Nikolai Orlov said politely to everyone present.
The regiment and brigade commanders present also responded politely to Nikolai Orlov.
After the two parties had a basic understanding of each other, Duke Golitsyn began to get down to business. He told these comrades deployed around the capital that he would hold a coup in the near future to completely overthrow the rule of Nicholas I. .
Once he captured St. Petersburg, he would immediately announce to them the march to Petersburg in the name of the new tsar.
At that time, everyone present only needs to march to Petersburg after hearing the news.
"Mr. Golitsyn, I think you don't have to do this! Anyway, now that you have served as the governor of Petersburg, you can use the name of the emperor to carry out reforms! Why use the radical method of overthrowing the old tsar and establishing a new tsar? ! Crown Prince Alexander is no different from Grand Duke Nicholas (the third son of Nicholas I)!" One of the officers in the room questioned Duke Golitsyn.
"Using the name of the emperor?" Duke Golitsyn sighed and said: "How can it be so easy! We all know what kind of person Emperor Nicholas is! Don't look at him trusting me now. Once After he reacted, he would immediately use an excuse to suppress me.
As for letting nature take its course and supporting the Tsar, this is even more unacceptable! If Crown Prince Alexander serves as the new tsar, then Crown Prince Alexander's rights come from his inherent legitimacy, and our help to him can only be regarded as the icing on the cake.
But Grand Duke Nicholas is different. After he inherits the throne, his legitimacy will inevitably be questioned by all parties!
Especially when Crown Prince Alexander and Grand Duke Constantine are not dead yet, this means that he must rely on our help to maintain his throne.
In this way, he will be restricted by us! "
Then, Duke Golitsyn promised the soldiers present that after Grand Duke Nicholas became the emperor of the Russian Empire, he would become the regent of the entire country, and everyone present could also replace their commanders and become generals of the Russian Empire (actually Above are the small princes).
Duke Golitsyn's words made Viscount Nikolai Orlov, who still had a trace of idealism in his heart, find it difficult to accept.
It was obviously a revolution that changed the world, but in the words of Duke Golitsyn, it turned into a spoils-sharing meeting.
Nikolai Orlov really didn't know whether they were a group of revolutionaries with ideals or corrupt elements who had become degenerate and rebellious.
The colonels and brigadiers in the room, after hearing Duke Golitsyn's promise, immediately changed their previous objections and began to call Duke Golitsyn the "Lord Protector of Russia" and "the conscience of the Russian Empire". Kind of flattery.
"Everyone, we are not doing this for others, but for ourselves! For the future of the Russian Empire!" Duke Golitsyn said to the soldiers present with righteousness.
The soldiers also showed serious expressions and told Duke Golitsyn that they were willing to follow Duke Golitsyn for the future of the Russian Empire.
"I hope that you will start taking action immediately after returning to the station so that you can be ready to enter Petersburg at any time!" Duke Golitsyn said to the soldiers present.
"Please rest assured, we will definitely take action as soon as possible!" Vasily Andreevich assured Duke Golitsyn.
The surrounding soldiers also assured Duke Golitsyn that they would act quickly after receiving Duke Golitsyn's signal!
"Okay! I hope that next time we meet, we can sit in the Winter Palace and drink wine together!" Duke Golitsyn said boldly to the soldiers present.
The soldiers present also said that Golitsyn's regency, which has strong support from the people, will definitely succeed.
Prince Golitsyn and the soldiers complimented each other for a moment, and then tactfully told the soldiers that they should return to their base as soon as possible.
The soldiers present did not dare to stay longer and quickly left the room.
After all the soldiers left, Nikolai Orlov's face showed confusion and indignation. He loudly asked Duke Golitsyn why he cooperated with these shameless guys?
Faced with Nikolai Orlov's questioning, Duke Golitsyn showed a calm expression on his face. He immediately asked Nikolai Orlov whether he wanted more friends or more enemies.
Nikolai Orlov told Prince Golitsyn without hesitation that of course he hoped to have more friends and fewer enemies. In this case, the resistance to their coup would be much smaller.
However, the friends Nikolai Orlov hopes are a group of people with similar aspirations, not a group of political speculators!
This group of political speculators will only support you when you succeed.
When you fail, they will quickly choose to leave the camp, or even fight back.
And Duke Golitsyn told him that there are too few people with the same aspirations in the world. Most of them are political speculators like the group of soldiers just now. They are indeed a group of people who follow the wind, but It is undeniable that they are also a force that can influence the situation.
The most important person in the revolution is to make more friends and less enemies. Only in this way can the purpose of isolating the enemy be achieved.
To isolate Nicholas I and Crown Prince Alexander, he had to satisfy the wishes of some Russian soldiers so that he could control Petersburg and the Russian troops nearby.
And those generals who have been fattened by Nicholas I will definitely not take a fancy to the three melons and two dates in the hands of Duke Golitsyn. Therefore, the only people Duke Golitsyn can unite are the middle-level cadres of the army.
"Someone told me that if you want to control a division, you must have a good relationship with the regiment commander! If you want to control an army, you must have a good relationship with the brigade commander! The reason why I worked so hard to win them over is that I hope that after the coup , they can support the new regime we established with a neutral attitude!" Duke Golitsyn said earnestly to Viscount Nikolai Orlov.
"But, I think they are always unreliable!" Nikolai Orlov replied to Duke Golitsyn.
"I also know this, so I asked them to lead the army over after the coup is successful!" Duke Golitsyn showed a sly smile on his lips, "As long as they arrive in Petersburg, then they will not even think about leaving!"
Viscount Nikolay Orlov had a surprised expression on his face. He had never thought that such an operation could be done.
Compared with Prince Golitsyn, I am so ignorant!
"What can I do?" Viscount Nikolai Orlov hurriedly asked about his mission.
"Strengthen the control of the Third Hall! I don't expect the Third Hall to be able to help us when the coup begins! I just hope they can maintain a neutral attitude!" Duke Golitsyn told Nikolai O. Erlov responded.
"Don't worry! The vast majority of members in the Third Hall currently have complaints against Tsar Nicholas! Once a coup is carried out, it will be difficult for them to be loyal to Nicholas!" Nikolai Orlov to Duke Golitsyn responded.
"That's good!" Duke Golitsyn nodded with satisfaction.
…
One day later, after Duke Golitsyn received the urgent intelligence from the Crimea Peninsula, he quickly took the telegram to Nicholas I, and in front of Nicholas I
"This liar who has no credibility!" After listening to Jérôme Bonaparte's negotiation at Yalta, Nicholas I felt like he was being played like a monkey.
"Your Majesty, calm down! Calm down!" Duke Golitsyn, who was secretly happy in his heart, said to Nicholas I with a concerned look on his face.
"Now I can't wait to go directly to Crimea and tear that damn liar apart! How do you want me to calm down!" Nicholas I continued to accuse angrily: "Gotzen, you said I would send another guard How about heading to the Crimean Peninsula?"
"Guards Division?" Duke Golitsyn was stunned for a few seconds, and his heart became even more ecstatic. He was originally going to find an excuse to transfer some of the people who were still loyal to the emperor away from Petersburg.
Unexpectedly, Nicholas I directly ordered the Guards Division to leave the Petersburg garrison and go to Crimea. This was simply a pillow for sleep!
