Chapter 773 winner of the battle of moscow

The time has come to mid-August after the two thorny issues of Algeria’s indigenization and the abolition of the National Guard are on track.

And Jerome Bonaparte could finally turn his attention from domestic to abroad, that is, at this time, Valevsky brought Jerome Bonaparte the latest situation of the Russian Empire.

“Your Majesty, according to the news from St. Petersburg! The war in Moscow has been decided!” Varevsky reported to Jerome Bonaparte.

“Who exactly won?” Jerome Bonaparte hurriedly asked Wallevsky.

“His Majesty Emperor Alexander II!” Wallevsky replied to Jerome Bonaparte.

“Huh?” Jerome Bonaparte looked at Wallevsky with a puzzled expression.

It stands to reason that Golitsyn’s army was the victor, since the distance from St. Petersburg to Moscow was closer than the distance from Odessa to Moscow.

And there is a railway between Moscow and St. Petersburg as an auxiliary, no matter how you think about it, it should be said that the Golitsyn government won.

Even if the Golitsyn government had not won the final victory, it should not have ended the “Battle of Moscow” so soon.

Then, Jerome Bonaparte asked Wallevsky how exactly Alexander II had won!

Wallevsky told Jerome Bonaparte that a large part of the reason why Alexander II won such an easy victory was due to the fact that the local forces in Moscow took refuge.

Because Moscow was in the interior of the Russian Empire, Moscow’s aristocracy did not suffer from the complete corruption of republicanism like that of St. Petersburg’s.

Although the Moscow nobles also had the urge to establish a republic, this urge was slightly inferior to that of the St. Petersburg nobles who wanted to kill the entire czar’s family.

Therefore, when Duke Golitsyn incorporated the Moscow regional armed forces, the Moscow regional armed forces already showed a negative side.

However, because the Moscow aristocratic officers at that time were still on the side of the progressive forces, they were not purged by Duke Golitsyn.

When Alexander II led the army to fight, the armed forces in the Moscow region did not defect immediately, but fought with the army sent by Alexander II with all their might.

With the passage of time, the death rate of progressive noble officers in Moscow also increased, and some officers who were originally at the bottom were quickly promoted.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t get promoted, as soon as you get promoted, there will be a big mess.

Those military commanders who were quickly promoted were members of the oppressed class, but they were ideologically royalist.

After the royalist officers gradually took control of the Moscow army, they began to collude with each other in the eyes of the special commissioner.

The stupid commissioner did not care about the comparison at all. He believed that the army in his hands was still the original revolutionary army.

As a result, the royalist officers used a battalion of troops in early August (the soldiers that the royalists could actually control were less than one-third of the entire Moscow army, and they could use even less), and directly killed the responsible Supervise their commissar before slaughtering the Moscow headquarters.

After the progressive officers reacted, those royalist officers had already rushed into the main city of Moscow to announce in a high-profile manner that they would set things right and return to Emperor Alexander II.

The leaderless progressive officers wanted to lead the army to fight back, but found themselves unable to fully control the army.

After the two sides fought in the streets of Moscow for a long time, the progressive officers had to leave in ashes.

The royalist officers who occupied Moscow looted Moscow for a long time before sending someone to invite the army of Alexander II into the city.

“Fairy Wood”

After listening to Wallevsky’s description, Jerome Bonaparte had an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

After a while, Jerome Bonaparte remembered that the operation of the Moscow royalists was a parody of the royalists in the early days of the French Republic!

It’s just that the control of the army in the French Republic at the beginning was far less than that of the Golitsyn government.

If this had happened on French soil, it would have been impossible for the rebels to win.

“I’m afraid the Golitsyn government is going to be blown up!” Jerome Bonaparte shook his head and said to Wallevsky.

“Your Majesty, the current Golitsyn government has announced that it will establish a National Guard Army fully loyal to the government of St. Petersburg in the big cities occupied by Russia, and as the capital St. Petersburg will establish a 300-battalion National Guard Army for Reinforce all the fronts!” Valevsky replied to Jerome Bonaparte.

“300 battalions!” said Jerome Bonaparte, staring at Wallevsky, “Are you sure it is 300 battalions?”

“Your Majesty, I can be sure!” Wallevsky replied firmly.

“Tsk tsk tsk…” Jerome Bonaparte couldn’t help shaking his head, “300 battalions, at least 150,000 people! I remember that the population of St. Petersburg has not exceeded one million!”

“Yes! Your Majesty!” Wallevsky nodded and replied to Jerome Bonaparte.

Of all European cities by 1855, the only cities with a population exceeding one million were Paris and London.

“Even if I count the population of St. Petersburg at 900,000 (actually, the population of St. Petersburg in 1890 exceeded the 1 million mark), 150,000 National Guard troops! Equivalent to one-sixth of the entire population of Moscow!” Jerome Bonaparte spread his hands and replied to Wallevsky: “Is Duke Golitsyn trying to drain the entire population of St. Petersburg?”

Jerome Bonaparte paused and asked Wallevsky: “Walesky, do you think there is a possibility that Golitsyn has been Robespierre now!”

“Your Majesty, what is Robespierre?” Wallevsky asked curiously.

“Just to see everyone think they will betray themselves, and then gradually fall into madness!” Jerome Bonaparte explained.

“Your Majesty, I heard that Duke Golitsyn has become more and more like to be alone since some time ago, and often he doesn’t know what to do in a mysterious way!” Warefsky told Jerome Bona. Ba replied.

Jerome Bonaparte’s expression immediately became solemn. He remembered the terrifying King Daxi in his previous life, who also gradually rose up after entering Sichuan, and then began to slaughter Sichuan wildly!

“We have to do something!” Jerome Bonaparte whispered, he didn’t want to see Wallevsky fall into the situation of King Daxi so quickly.

The civil war in the Russian Empire is at least similar to the time of the Soviet-Russian civil war. If Alexander II ended the battle too soon, it is easy to turn his eyes to the west.

“Walevsky, what do you think we can do?” Jerome Bonaparte turned his attention to Wallevsky and asked.

After thinking for a moment, Wallevsky replied to Jerome Bonaparte, “Your Majesty, I think we should provide Duke Golitsyn with some support!”

“But Golitsyn has no extra money!” Jerome Bonaparte replied to Wallevsky, spreading his hands, “We have completely emptied the only gold left in the treasury of the Russian Empire. !”

“Your Majesty, there are still a lot of cultural relics in Russia!” Valevsky replied violently to Jerome Bonaparte.

After listening to Wallevsky’s words, Jerome Bonaparte patted his head and responded to Wallevsky: “Look at my memory, Russia still has a lot of valuable things!”

“Your Majesty, are we going to trade with them directly or say…” Valevsky asked Jerome Bonaparte again.

“Of course it is through middlemen! I think the Kingdom of Sweden is a good choice!” Jerome Bonaparte replied decisively.

He planned to use Sweden as a middleman to deliver some of the artillery to Golitsyn.

Jerome Bonaparte did not believe that Golitsyn, who had artillery, could fail again.

“I see!” Wallevsky nodded in response.

“By the way, I remember that there are still former Hungarian officers living in France!” Jerome Bonaparte said to Wallevsky again.

“Yes!” Wallevsky replied to Jerome Bonaparte with a nod.

“You sent someone to negotiate with them quietly, and ask them to go to support Golitsyn as well! It’s just in the name of volunteers to support Golitsyn, and the Empire has no knowledge of it!” Jerome Bonaparte asked Wallevs again. Key gave the order.

“Understood!” Varewsky replied.

…

After explaining the support for the Golitsyn government, Jerome Bonaparte and Wallevsky exchanged views on other issues.

Wallevsky told Jerome Bonaparte that he had been notified by the British ambassador that Queen Victoria and Prince Albert would visit and communicate with the French Empire in late August.

To put it bluntly, the Victorias came here to play.

“It’s finally here! I thought they weren’t ready to come!” Jerome Bonaparte responded sullenly, “You tell Victoria and Albert on my behalf, just say me and Queen Augusta Welcome to them!”

“Yes, Your Majesty!” Wallevsky nodded and replied to Jerome Bonaparte.

“By the way, when is Maximilian’s coronation scheduled?” Jerome Bonaparte asked Wallevsky.

“Your Majesty, as far as I know, the coronation of Grand Duke Maximilian in Galicia in Galicia will take place at the end of September, and the coronation in Warsaw is planned for October, you only need to go to Warsaw in October. It’s gone!”
