Chapter 52: Nicholas II

Nikola II Alexandrovich, born in St. Petersburg on May 18, 1868,

He is the eldest son of Alexander III and Queen Mary (Danish Princess Dagmar). The last Russian emperor, reigned from 1894 to 1917.

The time when Nicholas II ascended the throne was a time of change. Since the end of the 19th century, Russia, centered on heavy industry, has perfected its industrial system, a capitalist economy, and an insurmountable contradiction between the decaying and backward Russian political system.

The gap between the rich and the poor in Russia has widened, a large number of farmers have gone bankrupt, and social conflicts have intensified. Facing these situations, he continued to suppress internal expansion and expand externally from the perspective of maintaining the rule.

Nicholas served as chairman of the Siberian Railway and Construction Committee during the Crown Prince period. In 1891, when he went to Vladivostok to preside over the Siberian railway construction ceremony, he was invited by the Japanese royal family to visit Japan by the way and was attacked in Otsu. It was historically called the "Otsu incident".

的 In Japan after the Meiji Restoration, capitalism developed rapidly, and national strength also increased. By the end of the 19th century, it had become an Asian power.

At that time, Japan was bent on becoming an Asian supremacy and among the world powers. However, the Japanese government was panicking again in the face of Russia's aggressive expansion in the Far East.

Hagi is also full of strong Russian-Russian sentiments, and organizations such as the Black Dragon Society have appeared in the people. Therefore, before Nikola went to Japan, anti-Russian organizations have begun planning the assassination of the Crown Prince of Russia.

During Nicola's visit to Japan, sightseeing in the streets of Tokyo, a Japanese warrior rushed to him and slashed at Nicola with a saber.

Fortunately, Nicholas's followers responded quickly and pushed him away to avoid making ghosts under the knife. However, he was cut off a scalp and the Crown Prince was immediately taken to the hospital.

Although he escaped, Nicholas II always had a noticeable scar on his head and suffered from severe migraine. This is a memorial left by his trip to the Far East.

After returning from the Far East, Nicholas said: This trip affected me and made me interested in the Far East.

Although the Japanese official quickly arrested the killer and apologized to Nicholas, he paid a high price and the matter was settled.

Obviously, this thing is not so easy to complete. Nicola's mind is not so broad. Just arresting an assassin cannot satisfy him.

After the Sino-Japanese War of 1894, the conflicts between Japan and Russia in the Far East became more and more open.

In 1895, he joined forces with Germany and France to interfere in Japan's return of the big apple to the Liaodong Peninsula. Hidden dangers for the Russo-Japanese War.

In 1900, after the outbreak of the Boxer Movement, Nicholas sent troops to join the Eight-Power Allied Forces, invaded Beijing, China, and occupied Northeast China.

During the expansion activities in the Far East, fierce clashes with Japan in North Korea and Manchuria led to the Russo-Japanese War of 1904.

The unprepared fur bears caused Japanese raids at the beginning of the war and suffered heavy losses. Although they were slowed down with strong national strength, the poor traffic in the Far East and the inability of logistics to support their counterattacks have been deadlocked .

Nicolas may be vengeful, with his head drawn and sending the Russian Navy to the Far East. There was a suicide campaign that killed the world's second navy at the time. The "Russian-Russian War" Russia suffered a fiasco defeat, and Japan defeated fiercely.

革命 In 1905, after Lushun was conquered by Japan, a revolution broke out in St. Petersburg, which was called "Bloody Sunday" in history. Temporarily overwhelmed by Stolypin's reforms, but plunged into more complex Balkan issues, continuing to drain the empire.

Since Crown Prince Alexei suffered from hemophilia, Nicholas II spent most of her time in the Tsar village and the Black Sea in St. Petersburg, staying with her family.

As the queen favored the "evil monk" Rasputin, causing dissatisfaction with the young aristocracy and the army, Nicholas II gradually lost the support of the military, bureaucrats and capitalists.

In 1914, Russia had just restored its vitality, and Nicholas II led Russia to join the First World War. Due to the unfavourable situation, lack of supplies, and capitalists' hoarding, they gradually lost public support.

In 1917, Germany provided assistance to the CPSU. Lenin passed through German territory from Switzerland and returned to Finland via Finland to launch a revolution so that Russia could withdraw from the war.

3In March 1917, citizens of St. Petersburg launched demonstrations against hunger, and the February Revolution broke out.

3 On March 15, 1917, Nicholas abdicated and was passed on to his younger brother, Archduke Mikhail Alexandrovich, but was rejected by his younger brother, and the Romanov dynasty perished.

After Nicolas II abdicated, the British government refused to accept his family to seek refuge in Britain. After the October Revolution broke out, the Nicholas II family was destroyed by the Bolshevik army.

Of course, this is all a matter of parallel time and space. Now Nicholas is proud of the spring breeze. The Crown Prince, one of the most powerful empires in the world right now, is full of spirit.

Twenty-three days later, in the port of Burgas, Nikola and his party left the warship and stepped into Bulgaria.

哦 "Oh, Bishop Scrimment is here. I have n’t had time to congratulate you on the opening of the Sorb Railway. I'm sorry!" Nicholas said with a smile

Mayor Clement said with excitement, "Your Highness, you are very polite! Compared with the great Russian Empire, this achievement we have achieved is not worth mentioning!"

Nicholas smiled ~ www.readwn.com ~ didn't say anything, apparently he also thought it was. In 1891, Russia's total railway mileage reached 30,723 kilometers.

What about Bulgaria? Even if Ferdinand, the traverser, now has a total railway mileage of just over 1,000 kilometers.

As for industrial development, the difference between the two sides is farther. Russia has a complete industrial system, while Bulgaria's industry is still blank in many ways.

It seemed that Nicholas was not in a hurry. When he arrived at Burgas port, he did not rush to Sofia, but began to enjoy the mountains and rivers.

After receiving a telegram from Scrimment, Jeff Ferdinand knew that Nicholas was not so uncomfortable as later generations. Any emperor who can exercise real power should not be underestimated.

"Swim in mountains and rivers" is mostly observing the strength of Bulgaria, and then deciding what attitude to treat Bulgaria. Except for the political noobs like Scrimment, you can basically see the purpose of Nicholas.

Nicolas used Yangmou directly, even if Ferdinand knew it, he couldn't do anything. Taking a sip of tea fiercely, Ferdinand did not like this situation beyond his control.

I have been going on for more than a month. Nicholas walked and stopped along the way, playing around. It may be boring, or it may be time to see it. In May, finally arrived in Sofia.
