Tsarist Russia: Please Call Me Your Majesty The Tsar

Fort Peter, Prime Minister's Office.

The top cabinet members of the Tsarist Russian Empire are all gathered here at this moment.

It's just that these high-ranking empires have different expressions.

The director of the Orthodox Affairs Administration, Pobedonoschaev, and the foreign minister, Izvorski, had obvious faint smiles on their faces. As for the Minister of Finance, Sergei Witte, his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.

After all, the former two had made it clear that they would abide by the "Law of Inheritance to the Throne" and supported Grand Duke Mikhail's succession to the throne. Sergei Witte, on the other hand, supported Grand Duke Nicholas and the succession of Grand Duchess Olga Nikolaevna to the throne. This was clearly on the opposite side of Grand Duke Mikhail.

Originally thought that with the influence of Grand Duke Nicholas in the army and his life experience as a soldier, it would be extremely simple to defeat Grand Duke Mikhail.

Unexpectedly, it was Grand Duke Nicholas who was beaten and defeated in the end.

This immediately plunged Sergei Witte into a huge crisis.

As for the other high-level cabinet members, except for Prime Minister Previ who was a little worried, the others didn't care.

Under the instigation of Grand Duke Nicholas, Prime Minister Previ also expressed his support for Grand Duchess Olga Nikolaevna. The other ministers remained neutral.

"Gentlemen, the Battle of Mosk is over. Grand Duke Mikhail has won a decisive victory. The main force of Grand Duke Nicholas has been completely wiped out. Now, Grand Duke Nicholas is fleeing back to Peterburg. On the way. And the troops of Grand Duke Mikhail are also marching towards Fort Peter. So, what should we do now? We must make a choice!" Pobie Donoschaev said excitedly.

It is foreseeable that as a supporter of Grand Duke Mikhail, after Grand Duke Mikhail becomes the new tsar, he will naturally rise. Even, it is not impossible to become the prime minister of the empire.

"Grand Duke Nicholas is only a temporary failure. Is it too early to draw conclusions?" Sergey Witte immediately objected.

"It's already reached this time, and I still don't admit defeat. Is it really necessary for the empire to break out a protracted civil war? In that case, there will be no winners. The one that will be damaged will be the Tsarist Empire!" Minister of Foreign Affairs Izvor Ski suggested.

"Yes! The stability of the empire is more important than anything else. The empire on which the sun never sets is eyeing the empire, and the Germans are also staring at the empire. If a civil war breaks out in the empire, it will be very disadvantageous!"

"Since Grand Duke Mikhail has won the victory, it is only natural for him to inherit the throne!"

Other neutral ministers also expressed their views one after another.

Standing on the side of the winner is the most basic rule of survival.

It is naturally understandable that these neutral ministers would make such a statement.

Even the Minister of War, Sukhomlinov, and the Minister of the Navy, Alexander, echoed this.

They are also considered for the interests of the Tsarist Russian Empire.

Prime Minister Previ hesitated for a moment, and then said: "The Grand Duke Nicholas will return to Fort Peter soon. Or, let's talk about it after he makes a decision. After all, the remaining troops in Fort Peter are loyal to Nikolai. La Grand Duke. Although there are not many, it is not something we can command!"

The other ministers have no opinion on this.

On May 21, Grand Duke Nicholas, Grand Duke Agliani and others fled back to Fort Peter.

Prime Minister Previ and Finance Minister Sergei Witte approached him immediately and asked about his decision.

"Your Excellency, what are you going to do now?" Prime Minister Previ asked.

"Your Excellency the Grand Duke, if you decide to mobilize more troops to deal with Mikhail, the Ministry of Finance will fully support it!" said Minister of Finance Sergei Witte, gritted his teeth.

It takes a lot of money to mobilize the army. Sergey Witte holds the money bag of the Tsarist Russian Empire, so he can naturally help a lot on this issue.

And Sergei Witte undoubtedly hopes that Grand Duke Nicholas will continue to persevere.

Grand Duke Nicholas did not answer immediately, but hesitated.

Although he failed on the battlefield. However, he was still not reconciled.

But he is also very clear that if he mobilizes the army, he will continue to fight Grand Duke Mikhail. Let's not talk about whether Grand Duke Mikhail can be defeated, but once the civil war continues. Even, if the scale continues to expand. This is definitely a heavy blow to the Tsarist Russian Empire.

Although Grand Duke Nicholas wanted to inherit the throne and become the Tsar.

However, he absolutely did not want the Tsarist Russian Empire to fall into crisis, or even fall apart.

In addition, he has an intuitive understanding of the combat effectiveness of Grand Duke Mikhail's army, knowing that even if the army is mobilized, it will not be the opponent of Grand Duke Mikhail in a short time.

If this is the case, then there is no need to continue.

"There is no need to continue the fight. I am willing to bet and admit defeat. I have already considered it. Next, I will take Grand Duchess Olga Nikolaevna to leave the empire and go into exile overseas!" Grand Duke Nicholas said .
