The sun never sets.

Letting Brusilov deal with the Orthodox Church was to let him take the blame. Now that Brusilov has been assassinated, it is just the right time to carry out a wave of cleansing within Russia. Lin Yongchang is not going to kill as many people as Comrade Gangtie did, which would make everyone feel insecure. That method is too brutal. Chairman Lin's method is milder, and he will kill fewer people.

Russia is now in a state of disrepair and needs manpower in every industry. Instead of killing people, it would be better to set up labor camps and let those people work.

Cleaning is a long-term thing, done every now and then. Don't always think of it as a one-time thing, because people who need cleaning are like leeks, they will grow back one after another.

After thinking about it, Lin Yongchang called the Ural region again. Two hours later, Lieutenant General Kondrachenko called back, "Sorry, I went to the train station and missed your call."

There were no mobile phones in this era. Although there were telephones, it was still a hassle to find people. If you carry a radio with you, you can always be in touch with the outside world. However, portable radios still have big problems. They are too heavy and break down easily. The radio cannot be turned on during the move.

"Let the Ural region be on high alert and focus on checking for suspicious individuals!"

"Brusilov was assassinated. The murderer is likely related to the military! Pay attention to the movements of the army and other armed forces. If any unit leaves the stationed area without orders, disarm them first!"

At the scene where Brusilov was assassinated, traces of mortar shells were found. It was more of an ambush than an assassination. The murderer had heavy firepower and knew where Brusilov was traveling. If something like this happened, it would not be over unless hundreds of people were shot.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yongchang had some other thoughts in his mind. Is Kondrachenko trustworthy? He is also a member of the Russian aristocracy, so it is hard to guarantee that he has not participated in the "rebel" affairs.

In the system interface of [The Sun Never Sets in the Celestial Empire], there are rebel forces accumulating in Moscow, Kiev, St. Petersburg, and the Ural Mountains. The progress of the noble rebels in Moscow has reached 47%. As long as it exceeds 50%, they may launch a rebellion at any time. In addition to the noble rebels, there are also Orthodox rebels, nationalist rebels, and various other rebels.

There are no aristocratic rebel forces in the Ural region, but there are Orthodox rebels. Although the progress is only 12%, it also shows that there are indeed people in the Ural who want to rebel.

It's possible that the various rebel groups were connected to each other, and it makes sense that the nobles and the clergy would join forces to overthrow the rule of the evil Chinese, doesn't it?

The [The Sun Never Sets in the Celestial Empire] system can only display the dissatisfaction of each class. Lin Yongchang can know that there are many people in the aristocratic class who want to rebel, and there are also many

As for those who don’t want to have breakfast, or who wants to make big news or who is willing to say goodbye to the past and welcome the new era, I don’t know.

Is Kondrachenko trustworthy? Maybe. Lin Yongchang decided to give him limited trust, so after calling Kondrachenko, he called the generals of the garrisons in various places.

Even if Kondrachenko is unreliable, at most he can cut off the railway line, and then he will be caught in the crossfire of the People's Army, which will not cause much damage. The real thorny problem is in Moscow, where the progress of the noble rebels is about to exceed 50%. Should we strike first or learn from Duke Zhuang of Zheng to defeat Duan Yuyan?

"克杜４" is a story from the Spring and Autumn Period of China. The gist of it is about setting a trap for others to fall into, staging a fishing expedition, etc.

The benefits of striking first are clear. Waiting for the nobles to strike first and then dealing with them can gain some political benefits. Of course, no matter which one you choose, there will be some disadvantages when you gain benefits.

Lin Yongchang spent a few seconds thinking, and then made up his mind. He picked up the microphone again, dialed a few times, and then said: "Connect to the city defense headquarters, and find Lieutenant General Rokossovsky."

Soon, the call was connected to Rokossovsky.

"I am Rokossovsky, Prime Minister, please give me your instructions."

"Tell your men to seal off all the city gates immediately."

"Block the city gates?" Rokossovsky was obviously surprised, but he quickly calmed down. "There are only 4,000 people available in the city. I'm afraid we are not strong enough. It would be better to transfer a division from the military camp outside the city. That way we can be more confident."

Rokossovsky was a Pole who was taken from the fields by his noble grandfather to serve as a soldier more than ten years ago. Ten years later, he became the commander of Moscow's city defense. He knew very well why he became the commander and what he should do, so he did not ask why, but only made suggestions.

"Well, the 135th Division will enter the city to assist in the defense."

"Do we need to impose martial law in the entire city?"

"Of course, pull out the barbed wire and sandbags!"

Lin Yongchang has made up his mind. Screw the sting operation. Now that Brusilov is in trouble, what are you waiting for? Just do it!

In addition to sending troops to block the city gates, Lin Yongchang also sent troops to guard the Kremlin. The Russians have always been simple and rough in their actions. If they find that something is wrong, someone might want to fight back.

He doesn't want to capsize in the gutter, so it's better to be more literary.

At dusk, the troops of the Security Command suddenly took over the gates and other important places of Moscow. When it was dark, the troops outside the city also entered the city, and then set up barbed wire and machine guns on the streets of the city.

The workers' pickets received orders to cooperate with the army to guard factories and warehouses. After dark, the city was filled with dense footsteps like a rainstorm. Commands were given one after another, and occasionally there were the sounds of military dogs barking.

Tanks and assault guns were also driven out. They were all the 1st Armored Division that had been stranded on the way. After they were repaired, they stayed in Moscow and formed a tank company. It was called a tank company, but the number of tanks and assault guns was very small, only enough for half a tank company.

But no matter what, a tank is a tank, and a steel vehicle weighing 20 to 30 tons looks murderous. This large-scale battle scared many people, and when the tracks rolled through the long street, those who peeked through the windows were all terrified.

Chapter 655 Nothing

"Oh no!"

Purishkevich rushed into the room and shouted, "The troops outside the city have entered the city, and martial law has begun in the city!"

The men in the room were shocked when they heard this. "What's going on? Has the truth been exposed?"

"The news must have leaked!"

"Then what should we do?"

"What should we do?" Felix Yusupov jumped up and shouted, "Fight them!"

"How can we fight? The army has set up machine guns in the street. We can't rush through."

"Burn all the lists and documents immediately!"

Felix Yusupov shouted: "If it's burned, everything will be fine? The enemy has already started, we can't just sit there and wait for death."

The men looked at Felix, then turned to look at the young man sitting on the sofa. "Grand Duke Dmitri, what do you say?"

Dmitry Pavlovich Romanov is the core figure of this small group. He once launched an assassination attempt on Nicholas II's favorites, but he has no other good solution now.

Assassination is very simple, just find two gunmen, carry a pistol and go up. But now the army has entered the city, what use are the assassins?

Young Grand Duke Dmitri was panicking, but he pretended to be calm and said, "We didn't do anything, did we? Can we still be convicted for something we didn't do?"

"Bang, bang, bang, bang," someone else ran up. He pushed open the door and said breathlessly, "Oh no! The military police are arresting people!"

"Arrests?"

"What's going on?"

The men were shocked and angry. “Is the Prime Minister going to arrest us all?”

Felix took the opportunity to shout: "Gentlemen, we can't hesitate any longer!"

"No, we don't do anything!"

Grand Duke Dmitri realized at this time, "If the police come to my house

Come on, let’s not resist and give Prime Minister Lin an excuse to take action.”

"That's how it should be!"

"We listen to the Grand Duke!"

Felix Yusupov's face flushed. "Are you just going to watch the police take us away? You will regret it in the future!"

"But what else can we do besides New Year's Eve?"

"So many people are dissatisfied with the Prime Minister. As long as we raise our arms and call for action, many people will definitely stand up. Even in the army, we are not without companions, and they will stand on our side!"

"Felix, this happened too suddenly, and we haven't discussed it yet. Acting rashly will only deplete our strength."

"You...you...huh!"

"Bang!" Felix Yusupov slammed the door and left angrily.

The rest of the people looked at each other, their faces all showing some embarrassment. "Grand Duke, is it inappropriate for Felix to run out like this?"

The city was under martial law, and if he ran out onto the street like this, he would be caught by the military police. If Felix was caught and revealed something, wouldn't everyone here be doomed?

"It doesn't matter." Grand Duke Dmitri said with a frown, "Even if Felix is caught, he will only be detained for one night. I will go back and ask His Majesty for his release tomorrow."

Purishkevich blinked his eyes and said, "Grand Duke, why don't you go to the Kremlin and petition Her Majesty the Empress right now?"

"Now?"

"Yes, after such a big incident, as a member of the Romanov royal family, it is reasonable for you to go to the Kremlin to protect His Majesty the Tsar, isn't it?"

Is it reasonable? Dmitri was a little skeptical. He frowned and thought about it, but still refused. "No, the diplomatic situation is unclear now. We should wait and see and not act rashly."

Kremlin

The mobilization of the army made the whole of Moscow panic, and the same was true here. The Provisional Government and the Soviet Government would kill people, and even if you were not on the blacklist, in the chaotic times, you might lose your life at any time.

People holding guns can easily develop endless courage and do things and kill people they would not have dared to do before.

Moscow, like St. Petersburg, had three or four major riots last year, and countless minor ones. Every time there was a major riot, some rogues and poor people in the city would take advantage of the situation to loot, which is common in some countries and eras.

After retaking Moscow, the city defense commander Rokossovsky arrested and executed many people, restoring order to the city. But it was mainly due to the hard work of the "Purge Committee" that Moscow became orderly.

In the night, Nicholas II stood by the window, looking at the torches outside the Kremlin and the soldiers setting up roadblocks on the streets, his heart filled with fear. A very terrible idea popped up in his mind, but he immediately felt that it was not that serious.

No, it doesn't need to be like that.

If Lin Yongchang really wanted to take action against people in the Kremlin, there would be no need to make such a big fuss. He could just send out a few soldiers.

Alexandra walked up to Nicholas II and took his arm. "What happened? Why are there so many soldiers outside?"

She had also experienced several turmoil, and the Provisional Government and the Soviet Government had no respect for the royal family. During the time of house arrest, she and her children might lose their lives at any time. After going through so many things, she was able to hide her panic well.

"Nothing." Nicholas II patted his wife's hand. "We just need to go to bed."

"Well...I'll go check on Anastasia and Alexei first."

Anastasia and Alexei are the two youngest children of Nicholas II and Alexandra. Anastasia Nikolaevna is 15 years old and Alexei is only 12 years old.

"Let's go with you."

The two walked through the dark corridor and came to the children's room, where they met Olga I and Princess Irina. Olga happily went up to greet her parents and said before Alexandra posted: "Alexander wanted to sleep with Alexei, so I sent him here. They are both in the room now."

Nicholas II nodded and said nothing. A worried look appeared on Alexandra's face. "Oh, Olga, I see a lot of soldiers on the street outside. Do you know what's going on?"

"It's to capture the insurgents."

"Ah?" Alexandra covered her mouth with her hands. "Someone started a rebellion?"

"Yes. General Brusilov was assassinated."

"What? There is such a thing?"

"But fortunately, General Silov was only shot in the shoulder and is fine now."

Chapter 656: Best Friend

Alexei Alexeevich Brusilov was the most successful and famous Russian general during the World War. It can even be said that Brusilov was the strongest general on the Allied side.

The "Brusilov Offensive" defeated the German-Austrian coalition forces on the Eastern Front, with more than 100 million casualties, 35 casualties for the German army, and less than 50 casualties for the Russian army.

The war was successful, but the Russian army also suffered heavy casualties. Before that, the Russian army had lost 500 million active forces, and the Russian monarchy was already in tatters.

The victory on the battlefield failed to save the rule of Nicholas II. The year after the "Brusilov Offensive", the former tsar was forced to abdicate. But it is undeniable that Brusilov was Russia's first-class tactical master.

Who attacked General Brusilov?

"I don't know," Olga shook her head.

"That's fine..." Alexandra was interrupted by Nicholas II before she finished her words. "Okay, stop talking. The children are all asleep, so don't disturb them. Let's go back and rest."

In the darkness, Felix Yusupov climbed over the obstacles with his nimble hands and found his best friend, Captain Sukhokin. Sukhokin was smoking and when he heard the noise on the wall, he immediately took out his pistol.

"Don't shoot, it's me!"

Hearing Felix's voice, Su Huojin's face lit up with joy, but then he showed worry again, "Why are you here? Do you know........."

"I know, I know everything, but now is not the time to talk about this."

Felix Yusupov jumped down from the wall. "The truth has been revealed. We must act immediately!"

"Attack now? The troops outside the city have already entered the city. If we start now, we will die."

"If you don't take action, you'll be dead!"

Felix Yusupov insisted: "The current situation is all because of that Chinese man. If we kill him, everything will be back on track!"

Seeing Sukhokin's awkward expression, Felix stamped his feet and said, "If you don't do it, I'll do it myself!"

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave. Captain Sukhokin reached out and grabbed Felix, "Well, I'll go with you. If that doesn't work..."

"If that doesn't work, we'll go to Minsk. There are many people who support us on the front line!"

Having made up his mind, Captain Sukhokin no longer hesitated. He found a uniform for Felix and gave him the rank of second lieutenant. "Follow me later."

"it is good."

Captain Sukhokin walked out quickly and shouted to the guards, "Pass the order, let everyone assemble immediately!"

The guards did not hesitate or doubt, and immediately went to carry out their mission. What was there to doubt? Captain Sukhokin was the military commander, and since he had given the order, he just had to execute it.

Whistles and shouts followed. Before the advent of the digital age, the most basic communication was done by shouting. It took about ten minutes for half a battalion of troops to be assembled, and the rest of the troops were on duty in other places. Sukhotin didn't plan to wait any longer. The more people the better was not the key to his success. If everything went well, half a battalion would be enough. If not, even double the number of troops would be useless.

"All of them............."
