Chapter 456 I will come!

Chapter 456 I will come!

Chapter 456 I will be back!
London was reduced to ruins by German bombing, and the Ruhr area of ​​Germany was reduced to ruins by the bombing of the British airship fleet.

Two of Zhang Siwen's think tanks became refugees and were taken to Hailing by Zhang Siwen and accommodated in the Xiaoxiangya Expert Building.

Economists are also scientists, right? These two are definitely qualified to live in the expert building. Zhang Siwen is not abusing his power for personal gain for his in-laws.

"My dear relatives, don't you two plan to teach at Hailing University? If you want to get a position in the Privy Council, there will be no problem at all."

The in-laws waved their hands and said, "It's good for us to be your think tank and give you advice. It's good for you to live a leisurely life. Don't let anyone know that the two of us are in Hailing."

After long-term communication with the two think tanks, Zhang Siwen and Zeng Xiaoyi have unknowingly learned German and no longer need to ask their in-laws to speak English.

"The villains in this world are too powerful. The reformist forces we organized before have all been disbanded."

"After discussing it with my brother, we felt that something like the Fenian Society, which was carried out in the name of Irish independence, would actually be conducive to the progress of reform."

"Look, the reforms we made in Cuba eliminated the Spanish colonists. In France, we eliminated our opponents in the name of revenge for Louis XVI."

"In Japan, it was done in the name of Tokugawa Yoshinobu's elimination of shogunate traitors. In Bulgaria, it was the invading Ottoman manor owners who were eliminated. In Ireland, it was the British landlords who were expelled."

"This is all done quietly in the name of national liberation, so as not to attract the attention of the villains."

"This time when Potowski entered Russia, he also wanted to kill those rebellious landlords and old nobles in the name of revenge for the two tsars and one grand duke of the Romanov family. After all, Alexander II was the liberator of serfs, right?"

"So, we must keep a low profile when we come here. The Xiaoxiang Cliff Peach Forest has beautiful scenery. We plan to stay healthy here. Maybe we can live many more years. We must not let the outside world pay attention to us."

"When we have grown up quietly, it won't be too late for us to go out."

Zhang Siwen understood, chatted about family matters for a while, and then took Zeng Xiaoyi away.

When I walked away and looked back, I saw that the villa was hidden among more than 200 expert buildings and was not eye-catching at all.

After the bombings of London and the Ruhr, these two experts disappeared from the public eye.

Shao Quanzhong now has three intelligence agencies under his command: the Intelligence Department of Le Xiucai and Jiang Chunlin, the Daxia Statistics and Investigation Bureau of Chen Siqi, and the Privy Council Statistics and Investigation Bureau controlled by Zeng Xiaoyi.

The three intelligence agencies have eyes and ears all over the world. Even Shao Quanzhong's harem has Chen Siqi's men responsible for investigating, and of course they are directly responsible to Shao Quanzhong himself.

The only blind spot in the investigation is Shao Quanzhong’s life and death brother Zhang Siwen.

Shao Quanzhong himself has always kept his distance from the scientists in the Xiaoxiangya Villa District and they have absolutely no way of talking to each other.

Therefore, Shao Quanzhong, who was supervising the development of diesel engines, had no idea about the meeting that took place at Xiaoxiang Cliff not far away, and he would not know about it for a long time...

…………

St. Petersburg, Winter Palace, just like Chen Siqi did back then, Marshal Milyutin, who was forced to be elected as the leader of the rebellion, was distressed in his office.

He was a moderate liberal who had been responsible for the modernization of the Russian army.

To be honest, if a solid republican government were to be established, he would be happy to serve as its head, and he has the prestige and ability to do so.

The problem is that these bandits are not very capable. They are all bad guys who were recruited by financial capitalists with money.

You failed to capture and kill the Tsar and his family, allowing them to flee to Crimea.

Now that Nicholas II has ascended the throne, no matter how young he is, he has the legitimacy, right?

I have become an illegitimate court. Not only do the common people not recognize me, but even the Russian army that has fled back from the front lines does not recognize me. Without soldiers and common people, what is the point of my ruling?
I have several divisions of the Guards guarding St. Petersburg, and the 14-Nation Alliance with more than 300,000 troops is attacking us. Isn't it going to be a disaster soon?

"Report, the Privy Council of Daxia has replied. They have no objection to inheriting the international treaties signed by the Qing Dynasty, but claim that the previously signed Qing-Lu non-aggression treaty has not been broken."

"Their attacks on Siberia, the Caucasus, and southern Ukraine were in response to the request of the Legitimacy Tsar Nicholas II of Russia to help their allies quell the rebellion and to declare that they would no longer engage in equal dialogue with our pseudo-government."

Well, Russia's Far East and Siberia troops had long been transferred to the Western Front. Even if the remaining militia were willing to obey the republican government's orders, they would not be able to defeat the regular army of Daxia.

What's more, they have the card of Nicholas II in their hands. The wars in Central Asia, Mongolia, the Far East, Sakhalin Island and Alaska have already deteriorated. The militia's surrender does not count as surrender, but they are just accepting the Tsar's orders.

"Report, a tank division of Potowski drove straight in without getting off the train. The defenders along the way all expressed their obedience to the new tsar's orders and joined their royalist troops. Now they have arrived in Mo City. Marshal, please make a decision as soon as possible."

Well, in fact, these defenders not only obeyed the orders of the young Tsar, but the generals among them also wanted to speculate on the side of the republican government, and the financial capitalists were also trying to buy them off.

The problem was that the middle-level officers under these generals were all from the volunteer troops under Potowski when he went to war in Bulgaria.

Lucia participated in the European war to expand the army, and these veterans were promoted to mid-level officers. Potowski was their old boss, and they had a common ideal unknown to outsiders.

Those generals were forced by their subordinates to become loyal subjects of the Tsar.

"Report, the soldiers returning from the Western Front are asking for pay. Among them, an army of 200,000 people led by Marshal Kaufman and an army of 52,000 people led by Lieutenant General Chernyaev have declared their allegiance to the Tsar and have joined the Royalist Army." Marshal Milyutin stood up and left, "Guards, arrange for the boats to depart immediately."

"Marshal, what should we do about the soldiers' grievances over pay?"

The marshal waved his hand and said, "Tell them that I have gone into exile in the Netherlands. They can ask whoever they want for money."

The vigorous People's Will Society rebellion became a joke. In just two and a half months, Potowski's tank division entered St. Petersburg, and his loyal troops exceeded 400,000.

On November 1876, 11, the eight-year-old Tsar Nicholas II returned to St. Petersburg escorted by his guards.

What he saw were peasants with tears in their eyes lining the streets to welcome him and shouting "Long live the Tsar".

Alexander II left his love to the people and brought blessings to his descendants.

The assassination could not change the situation in Russia, especially since the Romanov family had many descendants and was very united, and Shao Quanzhong, a special prince who was extremely loyal to Russia, supported them.

…………

Bedloe's Island, New York.

President Johnson cut the ribbon in person, and the Statue of Liberty, which had been in the planning for eleven years, finally broke ground.

Under President Johnson's leadership, the Commonwealth prospered, with 750 trains arriving at Chicago every day, and the Commonwealth had become one of the most economically powerful countries in the world - the other being the Commonwealth's staunch ally, Great Britain.

President Johnson's reputation was unparalleled and he was confident of winning the election.

"Report, the statistics are in, Rutherford Birchard Hayes won the election by a narrow margin."

President Johnson was stunned. This was impossible!

"Report, a large number of voters are angry. They clearly voted for you. There have been incidents of vandalism in many places, and statistics workers in various places have been beaten by angry people."

"However, a large number of hooligans who received unidentified donations appeared on the streets, and many angry citizens were harmed."

Johnson was furious, "Let's go back to the capital."

On the famous lawn, President Johnson held a press conference, "I have just returned from the unveiling of the Statue of Liberty, but I think that the Federation has failed to live up to the envy and expectations of the French people."

"Recent events are disgusting. Is our Union still a country, as President Lincoln said, 'by the people, of the people, for the people'?"

The next day, the news media was quiet, and no newspaper reported President Johnson's speech.

Protests in various places were harmonized and no news was reported.

Johnson protested strongly, and finally the federal government established a joint committee composed of members of the National Assembly and the Chief Justice to adjudicate the statistical dispute.

Johnson, who had no hope for the verdict, got drunk and slumped over the table in the Oval Office.

"Ring ring ring!"

Johnson picked up the phone with drunken eyes. Shao Quanzhong's voice came from the phone, along with Isabel's beautiful instant translation.

"Old Joe, I heard that you were taken down? Don't be sad. You have been the boss for so long, don't you know who is in charge of the Federation?"

"It's a pity that our goal of joining forces to make the people of the Federation and China live a good life has been hindered. There's nothing we can do about it, right?"

"It doesn't matter. You still have three months to work. Work hard in these three months, and then come to Hailing to relax. I have prepared a small courtyard for you in the city. You can stay there as long as you like. We don't care about the Federation anymore."

Johnson shed tears. At this sad moment, Shao did not forget him. How loyal!

Johnson stood up and said, "Hey, I'm still the president. Come on, issue my order to share the 60,000 public patents of the Federal Patent Office with Daxia. Whatever you want, let them impeach me!"

In the last three months, Johnson gave up everything and fought with Congress every day.

On March 1877, 3, two days after taking office, Hayes was declared the winner by a joint committee and was declared the legitimate president.

Johnson left the familiar office where he had worked for eight years, boarded the airship and headed straight for Hailing. Looking back at the palace that was getting smaller and smaller under his feet, Johnson suddenly had a premonition.

"These people are doing evil things. I think one day I will be welcomed back by the people."

"I will return!"

Johnson put his fist to his chest.
