I hate the Communist Party chapter 184
Chapter 63—Typhoon in a Teacup
If you ask who is the ruler of the Russian Empire, which can be said to be the largest country in the world, boasting territories from the Far East to Central Asia to Europe-except for colonies, anybody will answer this way. .
[Of course, isn’t it char?]
If he had bad feelings toward the Russian Empire, it would have been called Chief Scythian, not the Tsar, but it could be said that no one on this planet who denies the fact that Nikolay II is the ruler of the Russian Empire now.
Although a parliament called Duma was finally created in the Russian Empire through the tsar’s decree not long ago, it was difficult to see the current state Duma as an organization that exercised independent legislative power outside the administration represented by the Tsar.
This is because, as Nikolai told officials when he made the Duma, the current Russian parliament felt stronger than an independent body to fill the insufficient administrative power.
Therefore, the present, after various reforms were implemented, has not changed much from the past as to who is the subject of state administration.
Of course, this applies to politics such as taking a big direction, such as which direction the state will take in the center, but many things have changed due to reforms represented by the dismantling of Gemstbo and Mir.
If we changed the question a little bit earlier and asked what would have the greatest influence on the course of action of the Russian Empire, excluding the Tsar, the answer was also fixed.
‘Ministers’ Meeting’ This organization, which was created as part of the massive political reform of the Russian Empire, implemented by Alexander I in 1801, is a governing body that shared the powerful political power that only the Tsar had until then. there was.
Thanks to Alexander I’s reforms, the Russian Empire was able to get away from the administrative system that had been backwards compared to other European countries before, and have a modern governmental framework, and the state management system, which was no different than the old-fashioned state, began to be established. .
Thanks to the reforms at this time, the ‘Senat’, that is, the people belonging to the Senate, did not take the lead in the administration of state affairs because of their nobility, while no other ability was verified.
Senat was able to turn into an honorary position of some sort, which for decades prevented the Russian Empire from being crushed by its own size, without proper action due to incompetent upper classes.
As such, it was not an exaggeration to say that the attendees of the ministerial meetings gathered here are in a position of one person in the Russian Empire, except for the Tsar, in which no one exists.
As most of the people in the Ministerial Conference boasted brilliant careers, they themselves were filled with pride and confidence in their position. These feelings used to appear in the attitude they usually show.
But today something was different.
Originally, the atmosphere would have been enough to exchange small talks or jokes with each other while waiting for the Tsar to come, but there was something today.
It was because there were people in the conference room with people who made them uncomfortable like a thorn in a person’s neck.
The atmosphere of this powerful gathering place was somewhat stiff and seemed to be afraid of something like the Russian youth waiting for the enlistment lottery.
“Is it really okay to do this?”
Since it was a meeting room where there was an ominous silence, whispers that would not normally be heard spread out into the room like hammering against the wall.
It was in an instant that people’s eyes were drawn to the place where the words were heard.
It was as quick as a shark smelling blood.
The young man’s face turned white to say that he was a middle-aged man in a black uniform who received an emotional gaze about who dared to open his mouth in this atmosphere.
In fact, it was natural for the ministers to show such an nervous reaction to him.
This is because he was one of the thorns in the neck that I mentioned earlier.
Originally, the uniforms of the Russian Empire were of a dark color, and their suits were mostly of low saturation such as black and dark brown.
Therefore, it could be said that it was not easy to see when an unknown person saw it, but from the eyes of those who always attended the meeting, it was possible to see that uninvited visitors in black uniforms were present at this place.
In fact, as much as the ministers showed displeasure, the naval officials here also expressed different feelings.
They feared as much as the ministers felt bad for the fact that they would splatter fire on them for no reason or that they were doing this disrespectful thing.
During the reforms related to internal affairs, they could understand.
There was no additional budget distribution to the army as well as themselves.
When there were multiple turmoils in the Far East, they could stand even when only the army received all the spotlight.
On the surface, only the army could have been active, but they also contributed to the war situation, such as cutting off supply ships through the Far East fleet calling in Vladivostok, and the Tsar also awarded medals to the personnel performing the operations in honor of their hard work.
It was unsatisfactory that the public’s attention was only directed to the army, but it was tolerable.
It didn’t matter if the tsar remembers and cares about them even if the others didn’t notice it.
However, since then, the Navy has been allocated a budget that is fortunate to maintain the status quo, while the Army has been unable to stand as much as receiving additional budgets for new weapons projects and doctrine every day.
This caused a great sense of crisis for those belonging to the navy.
Because of the lack of technology and budget, it seemed that the nightmare of the Russian imperial navy, whose main focus was to include sails rather than iron armored ships using steam, seemed to revive until the 1850s.
However, with such a sense of crisis and anger, after sending a notice that he would attend the ministerial meeting to Bite, who is in fact considered as the Prime Minister of the Russian Empire, he attended this meeting with great momentum, but soon the time to face the Tsar approaches, and fear arises. It was not.
What kind of person is Nikolai II, the current tsar?
From the days of the Crown Prince, he didn’t know what number he used for Alexander III, his predecessor, and Povedonoschev, his mentor, but he blew it away and crushed the reactionary forces arising from the dismantling of Mir to the point of despair.
In addition, the emperor himself said he was denied, but the Andijan rebellion, which could have evolved into a huge revolt in the days of the prince, was crushed by predictions close to prophecy in advance, and blooded in London, the heart of England, a feat that no Russian emperor had ever accomplished. He was also a person who achieved the achievement of entering the army without spilling a drop.
For Nikolai, sending his uncle, Grand Duke Alexandrovich, to Siberia in recent years would have been as easy as drinking a cold borscht (Russian soup) at dinner.
“It seems your Majesty is late today.”
If it weren’t for Lieutenant General Zinobi Rozestvensky, the only unassuming naval officer who regrets that they made the wrong choice, remembering the tsar’s previous move, they would have probably all left the conference hall before the tsar arrived. will be.
Originally, he had to remain in the position of warlord, but it was because of a sudden promotion at the command of the Tsar, or because he was previously unconventional,’Just because he was born as an aristocrat, hiring him as an officer makes it impossible to recruit competent human resources. I don’t know if it’s because of his personality that he said in public.
As you can guess from the background of his father, who was not a nobleman, he was a doctor, Lieutenant General Rozestwensky could be said to be a well-established person who has been up to this position thoroughly with his skills.
Therefore, people’s perception of him in the navy was normally divided into two.
Are you following him intensely? Or do you hate him fiercely?
However, at this point in time, in the minds of the naval personnel in this position, Rosestwensky was the savior of the Russian Imperial Navy.
“As you are a Tsar of the Russian Empire, you have so many things to worry about, so sometimes you are late. This is the first time the Lieutenant General is attending a ministerial meeting, so you may not know.”
It was none other than Stolipin that showed a sharp reaction to him.
This is because the naval personnel who came to him in such a hurry to dying now had a lot of things to do, who had escaped the shadow of Vite, the secretary of the finance, and lived a life like a bureaucrat directly under the emperor were like enemies with additional work.
“Is that so? This is true. Excuse me without knowing anything. It would have been great if some of the many things the administration handles were related to our navy. If that was the case, a general like me would have come in this way and would not have made any mistakes and rude.”
There was also a sharp dagger hiding in the words of Rosestwensky.
There was a hidden meaning that it would make sense not to do a business related to our navy, the two pillars that support the Russian Empire, while making the sound of death for so much work.
In fact, their complaints made sense.
Didn’t Vannovsky, former war minister, also say this?
“There are only two alliances of the Russian Empire, the Army and the Navy.”
There was also a frustrating situation for the Russian imperial navy now, when the consciousness that the navy is a measure of the power of the great powers was prevalent.
Britain is said to have been slowing down for a while due to a problem that broke out inside them, but Germany was missing this time and was building up its naval power at a terrifying pace.
In addition, France was also busy ordering and building new ships as Germany increased its naval power.
France and Russia are now called allies, but in European history, the alliance could also be called’the enemy who will remain after facing the enemy in front of you.’
It could also be said to be worthy of the personality of Rosestwensky, who has a personality enough to be called a “crazy dog” among soldiers.
“lieutenant general. I think it would be nice to be a little careful about speaking. If you just said what you’ve just said, can I assume you are dissatisfied with your Majesty in charge of the administration?”
“… … No, Minister.”
It was none other than Kuropatkin, who is currently serving as the Minister of War, who intervened in the nervous war between Stolipin and Rozestwensky.
“Then I order it with the powers I have as war minister. After this meeting, there will be discipline for your frivolous remarks. To be aware.”
“Okay.”
Kuropatkin’s attitude could be said to be harsh, but conversely, because he came out this way, it was rather to protect Rozestwensky.
This is because, according to the interpretation, it could be said that the soldiers who had to be loyal to the empire and the imperial were openly dissatisfied with the emperor.
A light turmoil passed and it was time for a typhoon.
The music to announce the arrival of the Tsar, the typhoon that is currently sweeping the Russian Empire, was ringing.
