Jagged Germany: Chapter 363 Interference 300 votes plus updates
"The riots that broke out in Russia are really at the wrong time! Nicholas II and his rule are too fragile, aren't they? They were overthrown so easily. And this has brought us a Big trouble!" said Sir Edward Gray.
"Nicholas II was too confident. He thought he could solve the riot well, so he didn't leave St. Petersburg immediately. Otherwise, as long as he fled St. Petersburg, even if St. Petersburg fell, he would be able to organize The army launched an attack on St. Petersburg to suppress the riots. The situation will not evolve into what it is now." Churchill said.
"How is Nicholas II now? I don't know whether he is dead or alive!" said Lloyd George, the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
"Who knows? According to our embassy, the Winter Palace has been captured by those rebels. Nicholas II's family was there at that time. Therefore, he should not have escaped and fell into the rebels hands!" said Sir Edward Gray.
"Your Excellency, in view of the current situation, we should send people to contact the Russian cloth party. If they are willing to fulfill the treaty and continue to fight against Germany, we can not interfere in the situation in Russia." Churchill suggested.
"Mr. Churchill, do you mean that we want to abandon Nicholas II and cooperate with those rebels?" Prime Minister Asquith couldn't help frowning. For him, this seemed to be a difficult thing for him to accept.
"Your Excellency, Nicholas II committed suicide. We have no way to save him. Maybe he is dead now. For us, winning this war is the most important thing. As for the others , can be ignored for the time being. As long as the Germans can be defeated, it is understandable even to cooperate with those rebels." Churchill emphasized.
Although, Churchill's words made many cabinet members frown. However, they have to admit that Churchill's words are very reasonable. For the British Empire, the most important thing at this stage is to defeat Germany and the Allies and win the World War. As for the others, you can ignore them for the time being. Wait until the world war is won and the British Empire's status as the world hegemony is preserved before thinking about it.
"Your Excellency Churchill, I'm afraid your suggestion will not work at all!" Sir Edward Gray shook his head with a wry smile.
"Why?" Churchill frowned.
"The relationship between the Russian cloth party and Germany is very close. Even, they have always received the full support of Germany. Otherwise, how could the Russian cloth party develop so powerfully in just a few years?" Edward? said Sir Gray.
"What? Is this true?" Churchill was dumbfounded. If this news is true, it is almost impossible for them to persuade the Russian cloth party to continue to implement the treaty and start a war against the German Empire.
"Of course it is true. The embassy has confirmed the news." Sir Edward Gray said with certainty.
"Damn, how could the Germans have thought of this in advance? They actually started planning a few years ago. This is undoubtedly a great crisis for the British Empire!" Churchill sighed.
"Gentlemen, since the Russian Bundesliga is unlikely to choose Germany, what should we do with them?" Prime Minister Asquith asked.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, if this is the case, we must not allow them to develop and grow. Although St. Petersburg has fallen into their hands. Even other major Russian cities have gradually been controlled by them. However, Russia is still There are many people who are loyal to the tsar. We need to support them and let them deal with the cloth party, and it is best to eliminate them. If necessary, we will even send troops to Russia to join the war!" Churchill gritted his teeth.
"Your Excellency Churchill, are you crazy? We can't even resist the pressure of Germany. If we go to provoke the Russian cloth party at this time, isn't that asking for trouble for ourselves?" Sir Edward Gray exclaimed.
"If the Russian cloth party is allowed to develop, it will make them the enemy of the entire capitalist world." Churchill said.
"However, we simply don't have the extra power to interfere with the Russian revolution." Richard Haldane said.
"Yes, this is indeed a problem. However, we can think of other ways. Didn't we order a large number of arms from the United States? Those weapons were still shipped to Russia. However, they were handed over to troops loyal to the Tsar. Let them go and fight the rebels of the cloth party!" Churchill said.
Prime Minister Asquith nodded: "There is no problem!"
Anyway, those weapons and equipment were originally intended to be used to equip the Tsar's troops. Now, it is also used on them. It's just that last time they were asked to deal with the German Empire, and this time they were asked to deal with the Bu Party.
"From the current situation, neither we nor France can send troops to intervene in Russia. At least until Germany is defeated, there is no way to intervene in them. However, we can let other countries go! Japan in the Far East, There is also the United States. They can all interfere in the Russian Revolution. Once the Bubu Party develops and grows, it will also be a threat to them. What's more, haven't those dwarfs in Japan always coveted the territory of the Russian Far East? Let them go To intervene in the Russian revolution, the big deal is to give them a little benefit." Churchill said.
"This is a way. Your Excellency, we can try it!" Sir Edward Gray said.
"Well, let's do it like this!" Prime Minister Asquith nodded and accepted the suggestion.
Subsequently, Britain actively linked up with France, the United States and Japan*. Many capitalist powers regard the Bu Party as a scourge. If they can be wiped out, that would be the best.
Especially Japan*, the most active, they have long coveted the Russian Far East. However, since everyone is a member of the Allied Powers, there is no chance to start. Now, the Russian cloth party uprising and the rule of Nicholas II were overthrown, which undoubtedly gave them a godsend opportunity. Especially with the full support of Britain, France and other countries, of course they will not give up this excellent opportunity. Therefore, the Japanese cabinet quickly made a resolution to send 100,000 people to land in Vladivostok to interfere in the Russian revolution.
The United States will also send some troops to land in Murmansk. Britain and France will also send some troops symbolically to participate in the intervention.
