Holy Roman Empire

The prince's appointment as the governor of the colony should have been a big news, but the recent hot spot is really a bit fierce, and this news was directly overwritten.

On May 18, 1896, Nicholas II held a grand tour in Heden Square outside Moscow.As usual, the Tsar will give gifts to the masses.

It was supposed to be a celebration with the people, but Nicholas II was miserably cheated.I don't know who left the news, and the celebrations have been rioted before the start of the country.

People from all over the country flocked to Hedeng Square.More than half a million people gathered at the event site less than nine square kilometers.

What's more pitted is that the ground of the square is not hardened, it is still uneven, there are many potholes and ditches, and the bureaucrats in charge of holding the festival did not take any safety measures.

The event just started, the scene was messed up.Driven by the caring people, the people behind continued to crowd forward, causing thousands of deaths and tens of thousands of injuries on the spot.

A celebration event, being played abruptly became an epic disaster.

The more tragic is still to come. The bureaucrats concealed the loss. Nicholas II, who was kept in the dark, did not take any emergency measures, and a celebration banquet was still held that night.

After the news spread, the firepower of European public opinion was all concentrated on Nicholas II. "Cruel", "barbaric", "tyrant"...all the crimes were all tied to Nicholas II.

When Nicholas II reacted, everything was settled.The official responsible for planning the celebration committed suicide in fear of crime, and the relevant personnel were missing.

The clue was broken, and the black hand behind the scenes was not found, only a few unknowing pawns were caught.Needless to say, this scapegoat Nicholas II is betrayed.

Even if the compensation was done afterwards, the bad effects have already been caused.It is not that simple to eliminate the impact.

Nicholas II was gloriously becoming the number one "tyrant" in the world in Europe. The media was busy reporting the "Heden disaster", and the public's attention was attracted to him.

Apart from politicians paying attention to small news such as the prince as governor, ordinary people have no interest at all.

After being robbed of a hot search, the pre-prepared plans were of no use, but Franz was not dissatisfied.

In a sense, all European monarchs should award Nicholas II medals.

Without comparison, there is no harm.With the negative example of the Tsar, European people suddenly realized that their monarch was really good.

Even in Spain, where the situation is volatile, the domestic situation has improved.In just one night, the Spanish people discovered that putting a milk doll on the king's throne was actually good.

At least the destructive power is small, and at most a few bottles are thrown away.Although Spain is not rich, it is still affordable for a small amount of money.

People in Europe are happy, but Nicholas II is on the verge of rampaging.

In order to give the people an explanation, the prime minister has already taken the blame and resigned.But this is far from enough. If the black hand behind the scenes is not caught, the matter will not end.

"waste!"

"Everything is waste!"

"One by one..."

...

Facing the tsar's curse, everyone bowed their heads.There is no way, Nicholas II is indeed right.

Just under everyone's noses, such a big scandal happened, and you don't even know who did it. What is "trash"?

Of course, the ministers are rubbish, and the tsar who was played with applause is obviously not much better.

Regardless of whether it was calculated or not, Nicholas II couldn't take off the hat of "incompetence".

It can be said that in the years to come, if he does not do something serious to prove his ability, then the historical conclusion must be indispensable: "Incompetent Tsar".

Seeing that the atmosphere was wrong, Sergey Witt, who had just been appointed as Prime Minister, bit his head and persuaded: "Your Majesty, this is the end of the matter. The most urgent task is to deal with the aftermath as soon as possible.

Compensation alone is not enough, we have to take more measures.Restore your reputation as soon as possible, so as not to be taken advantage of by careerists."

Since the outbreak of the "Horden disaster", Nicholas II's reputation has fallen to the bottom.Had it not been for the good work of the previous czars and the rich legacy left behind, now the ruling foundation of the czarist government would be shaken.

However, it is precisely because the previous tenures did so well that Nicholas II, who was brought out for comparison, was tragic.

Great-grandfather, although Nicholas I had no achievements in internal affairs, he couldn't stand him.Defeated the British and French Ottoman forces, regained Constantinople, the Holy Land of the Orthodox Church, and realized the dream of the Russians for hundreds of years.

With this feat alone, Nicholas I became the greatest tsar of the Russian Empire.The Russian people now call Nicholas I, who are all Emperor Nicholas.

The grandfather, Alexander II, was also very arrogant.Although there was a big defeat at the beginning of his succession, they tried their best and tried their best, and later retaliated with the profit.

Military achievements are not considered complete, but Alexander II's political achievements are outstanding!The serfdom reform was completed and the declining Russian Empire was pulled back from the cliff.

By the time of his father Alexander III, it was finally a lot more normal, and it was no longer like the previous two, and it was completely impossible to catch up.

Political performance can only be regarded as quite satisfactory. It has not made any major contributions, and has not caused any trouble, and on the whole it has maintained the stable development of the country.

His military performance was barely considered excellent. He teamed up with Austria to destroy the Ottoman Empire, bullied the natives of Central Asia, and fought a battle with the British.

Generally speaking, he is still a good czar of the Russian Empire.In the historical evaluation of the Russian Empire, it is definitely not low.

In contrast, Nicholas II was a tragedy.Since he succeeded to the throne, he hasn't done any major things, and a scapegoat first fell from the sky, directly smashing his eyes and dizzy.

Now there is nothing to think about, and Nicholas II can't do anything until his reputation is restored.

Nicholas II asked in return: "How to recover? We have explained to the diplomacy and told the people that this is an enemy's conspiracy. Isn't it enough?"

There is no way, anger will burn a person's IQ, and will often make people act irrationally.

Nicholas II, who had not been relieved from his anger, asked for granted, the language did not pass through the brain at all.

Sergey Witt frowned and explained helplessly: "Your Majesty, the people lack sufficient discernment ability. Since the enemy hiding in the dark has planned such a big conspiracy, he will certainly not give up.

If we do not do the relevant work well, we will be given the opportunity to take advantage of the enemy.Explaining is obviously not enough. You also need to show the people-friendly side to prove..."

It can be seen that Sergey Witt is also really bitter now.

If the enemy is unwilling to give up, it is a good thing to take the opportunity to come out and do things.The tsarist government has already taken action, as long as the enemy moves, it will leave clues.

I was afraid that the enemy would go silent, and continue to hide in the dark corner waiting for new opportunities.Let them find it impossible to find out, it would be a big trouble.

...

Nicholas II was having a headache to restore his reputation, and European monarchs were also terrified.

If Nicholas II hadn't stepped on the thunder first, and a similar scene happened to him, the consequences would be unimaginable.

In the Vienna Palace, Franz was also secretly grateful.Fortunately, I was low-key enough and didn't mess up the celebrations. Otherwise, I was given such a wave by the enemy at the beginning of his succession.

Of course, only at the beginning of succession.The stalwart image managed by Franz has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.Even if a little dirty water is spilled, no one will believe it.

Moreover, there is no room for a similar scene to happen in Shinra.Every time the Vienna government organizes celebrations, the armed police forces are all over the streets. If they want to fight against the wind and do things, it is estimated that people will go in before they can take action.

After all, Shinra has been cultivating the public's sense of order from the stage of compulsory education.

There is no guarantee that there will be no crowded stampede, but when there are military police to maintain order, it will never happen.

Everyone is observing the order, and if some people do not obey the order, it will be very obvious, and it will be easy to be caught.

I think three times in my life, no matter how you learn, you still have to learn.

In the Vienna Palace, Franz watched Frederick while tapping the armchair of his armchair and asked: "What do you think about the encounter with Nicholas II this time?"

I have to admit that time flies quickly.In a blink of an eye, the Russian Empire changed three czars, and Nicholas II was already the fourth.

This is really not what Franz can survive. In fact, the first three tsars of the Russian Empire were older than Franz, and accidents often occurred. It is normal to see God earlier.

You know, the tsar is also a high-risk occupation.As far as Franz knew, neither Nicholas I, Alexander II, nor Alexander III were assassinated.

On average, the assassinations of these czars exceeded three digits.People who are not strong at all can't do it.

I don’t know if the czar’s royal family has been cursed. Anyway, from the beginning of Nicholas I to the present, every czar has played a role in the assassination. The unlucky ones like Alexander II even met God directly in the assassination. .

After thinking about it a little, Frederick slowly said: "It's been calculated so badly, and I don't even know who the enemy is.

It seems that the tsarist government is really decayed. The once imposing Russian empire no longer exists. Now it is like an old man whose body is declining day by day.

If nothing happens, we will not need to worry about the Eastern Route for a long time to come."

In addition to the strong contempt, there was also a hint of joy in the tone. Obviously, in Frederick's opinion, the decline of the Russian Empire is a good thing.

Franz smiled slightly, and did not directly comment: "It is normal for the tsarist government to fail to find out. It is estimated that the black hands behind the scenes do not know that the matter will be so big.

Judging from the information on the surface, these people released the news at first, just want to create chaos, disrupt the celebration, and give Nicholas II a chance.

No one thought that there would be a large-scale stampede on the scene.Things are beyond control, and of course I have to hide desperately at this time.

Perhaps the black hand behind the scenes is in the top tsarist government.Let them check themselves, naturally there will be no results.

If Nicholas II is decisive enough to directly purify Moscow's bureaucrats, aristocrats, and capitalists, there will be windfalls.

No one else can know, but they can't hide it from these local snakes.Without the cooperation of these guys, it would not be an easy task to gather 500,000 people to the scene.

If you transposed, you were Nicholas II, what would you do now?"

After being silent for a while, Frederick replied fiercely: "Use this as an excuse to mobilize the army into the Moscow area, and select restless guys to kill the chickens and the monkeys, shocking people's hearts and building prestige.

If it goes well, use this as an entry point to open a crack in the door to reform and continue to push Alexander II's failure to complete social reform."

Great cleaning, non-existent.This is not a question of courage. The key is that Nicholas II, who has just succeeded to the throne, does not have that prestige.

It is true that the army listens to the czar's orders, but no one knows whether it will be compromised when executing the orders.

Moscow is the largest city in the Russian Empire second only to St. Petersburg. The local powers also have great influence in the tsarist government.

It is no problem to pick a few active ones out to kill the chickens and the monkeys. It is impossible to clean them thoroughly.

As a czar, you can have nothing but prestige.If you can’t get the respect of everyone, let everyone be afraid.

Compared with the authority of the monarch, it is not so important to track down the people behind the scenes.Because it is the same whether it is checked or not, politics never needs evidence, just suspicion is enough.

Any enemy of the Tsarist government, whoever does not deal with the Tsar, can be a suspect, and it will be settled later.

Even if you get the wrong target, it doesn't matter. Anyway, it's your own enemy that is suppressed, and there is no such thing as accidental injury.
