Stolypin's train slowly entered the Kiev station in the morning light.
As the last prime minister of the old Russian Empire in time and space, Stolypin has clearly felt the aura of decline emanating from this huge country. He entered the cabinet with the ambition to turn the tide, but in the past year or so
, his confidence became weaker and weaker.
The reform plan proposed by Stolypin was exactly the same as that of the previous time and space. It was an economic reform while suppressing the resistance of the lower class people with an iron fist. However, the effect obtained was very different from that of the previous time and space. In the previous time and space, his reforms were successful.
Tsarist Russia, which had been rotten to the core, lingered until the February Revolution, and in this time and space, the situation was becoming increasingly desperate.
"Damn Chinese." Stolypin cursed his yellow-skinned neighbors more than once.
The two wars between China and Russia seriously injured the bones of Tsarist Russia, especially the large losses of Shenji, which directly boosted the confidence of the lower class people to resist tyranny, and the red regime in the Far East became the old Tsarist Russian government.
A serious problem in my heart, just the wave of refugees who could not bear the severe oppression at home and moved their families to Red Russia in Siberia, was enough for the Tsarist Russian government to drink - those who had the confidence to cross the Siberian wilderness were young and middle-aged people.
Once these people leave, who will take care of the farm and who will run the machinery in the factory?
In addition to the refugees who chose to escape, more Russian poor people chose to stay in their hometowns, sharpening their claws and waiting for the opportunity to overturn the mountains above their heads. The reputation of Intrachonnell was widely known among the workers in the city and the serfs in the countryside.
According to legend, unlike in the past, these red elements now have a base and can easily escape eastward even if they are wanted. Their activities are even more unscrupulous.
Even the army is gradually showing signs of becoming red. Even the Cossack armed forces cannot be completely trusted. In this situation, the only thing that can be relied on is the power of the goddess. However, the Russian goddess has been in the two Sino-Russian wars.
lost heavily.
The biggest disadvantage of the goddess is that it is extremely difficult to replenish the goddess. Even if the underage goddess is allowed to enter active service in advance and become a military force, there must be a sufficient number of underage goddess. However, Tsarist Russia’s training agency for the goddess has just the right
The number of goddesses in the age group of 15 to 17 years old is pitifully small, and there is basically no high-level bloodline. As long as it lasts a few years, Tsarist Russia's goddess camp will add a batch of fresh blood, and the situation will be better by then.
Much, but...
Stolypin vaguely felt that the current Tsarist Russia could not survive that time.
Stolypin could only hope that the economic reform would quickly achieve the desired results, but at this time, another obstacle stood in front of Stolypin.
The Tsarist Russian government has no money.
In the first of the two Sino-Russian wars, Tsarist Russia confidently launched an attack. Not only did it fail to obtain the expected benefits, it also lost the Pacific Fleet and a large amount of Chinese territory that had been acquired, and also lost a large sum of money;
Although there was no compensation for the Second War, the Chinese agreed to their request and granted them most-favored-nation status, which greatly reduced the tax revenue generated by Chinese goods entering Russia.
The new type of Shenji armor that emerged in the second Sino-Russian War made Tsarist Russia's finances even worse.
It is impossible not to equip this kind of armor, which will completely turn the power of Tsarist Russia into a display. Equipping this armor will require a large amount of funds.
Economic reform is something that is almost impossible to achieve without money.
Coupled with the funds needed to suppress rebellions in various places, Stolypin struggled after taking office.
At this time, various intelligence shows that the Red Russian regime in the east has regained its strength, and they are actively sending more cadres to Belarus. These cadres are full of passion and firmly believe that they are fighting for the great cause of the nation. At the same time,
They have rich experience and are extremely good at carrying out secret struggles and mobilizing the workers and peasants. Stolypin knew that they were the kindling, and White Russia had long become an extremely huge hay mat...
What's even more frightening is that Stolypin predicts that it will take about three years for Red Russia to plant red flags throughout Russia. In other words, a large number of goddesses who will come of age in three years will become defenders of the Red Russian regime.
Although there are many options to avoid this happening, such as turning all these goddesses into dynasty burial objects when the Romanov dynasty is about to fall, or letting these goddesses go into exile. But all these options, Stowe
Lei Ping would never allow it.
Stolypin was a staunch patriot, and he would never allow the most precious blood of the Russian nation to fall into the hands of others.
No matter who is in power in the future, the Shenji girls should live well on Russian soil. This is Stolypin's bottom line. It is precisely to protect this bottom line that he is still working tirelessly and doing his best to think
To save the Romanov dynasty in the sunset. Even if this dynasty cannot be saved, Stolypin must try his best to build a new regime that is in line with the traditions of the Russians, rather than letting the one jointly supported by the Germans and Chinese
Red Russia controls both sides of the great Volga River.
To this end, Stolypin did not hesitate to borrow the power of other countries.
He came to Kiev just to meet with the secret envoy of the British Empire.
The train slowly stopped on the platform. There was no one else on the huge platform except for the Cossacks in blue. Stolypin got off the train and looked up at the sky covered with fine snow.
"Dad," the second person to get off the bus was Stolypin's daughter Natasha Petovich Stolypin. Because Stolypin was assassinated many times during the year, the tsar granted a special permission to be a goddess.
Natasha left the barracks and served as her father's personal guard. "In any case, only the army came to greet..."
"The Ukrainians are probably more interested in killing me than the Socialist Revolutionaries and Bolsheviks," Stolypin interrupted his daughter, "so we must reduce the number of people on the platform as much as possible so that those fanatics can do nothing."
"But, won't you go visit the dignitaries in Kiev in the future? If it's an assassination, they can definitely do it at that time, right?"
"I won't visit them. I only see the British here." Stolypin said in an unquestionable tone. Seeing what his daughter wanted to say, he forcibly changed the subject, "Speaking of which, I remember
You grew up in a monastery in Kiev."
"Yes," Natasha nodded. Russia is similar to the Qing Dynasty. Regardless of their origins, goddesses must be adopted by state agencies until they reach adulthood. "I received complete training as a goddess in Kiev. I left the monastery the year before last and joined the
First Order of Cossack Paladins, becoming an Orthodox Knight."
"Well," Stolypin cast an expectant look at his daughter, "so I'll leave it to you at the monastery."
Another purpose of Stolypin's coming to Kiev is to win over the Orthodox priests of the monastery, as well as the young girls who are still studying in the monastery to become qualified priests. In the Russian civil war that is very likely to break out in the future, these children must
It will become the key to the battle between the red and white armies.
"In this regard..." Natasha hesitated, playing with her big braids with a complicated expression.
Stolypin keenly noticed the abnormality in his daughter's expression.
"What's wrong?"
Natasha hesitated for a while, and finally sighed: "Actually, I'm not sure I can convince the girl with the best blood in the monastery..."
"Just do your best." Stolypin stretched out his hand. He originally wanted to touch his daughter's head, but in the end he just patted her shoulder. "We can only do our best now."
With that said, Stolypin turned around and walked towards the exit of the station, accompanied by his daughter and other entourage.
Above him, the sky was hazy, and lightning flashed through the dark clouds from time to time.
