Chapter 911: Russian Nationalism


"Ula Ula Ulla" At midnight on June 14, 1943, the cheers of the mountains and tsunami came from the southern part of the city of Leningrad, where Her Majesty the Empress was now in Petrograd From the afternoon of the 14th, the cheers of "Ula Ulaula" sounded around the Narva gate, and then spread like a plague to the railway station of Warsaw, the railway station of the Baltic, the Alexander Nevsky Monastery, and in less than 10 hours, the flag symbolizing the Russian Empire was raised on one landmark building after another in the southern part of the city of Leningrad.

Then it was drowned in a loud cheer.

Such a scene is familiar to many "old Petrograders" who lived through the February Revolution of 1917.

They cheered then as they do now, but then they were cheering for the fall of the weak and incompetent Nicholas II.

And now they fell at the feet of the daughter of Nicholas II, wholeheartedly embracing her as the master of Petrograd and all of Russia.

This is probably Russia, the loser is always spurned here, and the winner has the welcome.

From the moment she passed through the gates of Narva, Empress Olga was undoubtedly the victor, at least until the Red Army killed or drove her away, and no one could deny that she entered Petrograd as a victor.

Now that the Empress of Russia has become the victor, the fatherly leader of Moscow is a loser, and a loser who wants to take away everyone's beloved Leningrad hukou So the citizens of the southern part of Leningrad and many groups of Leningraders and Siberian prisoners began to fall to Empress Olga as the victor after the Empress's flag fluttered at the Narva Gate.

Even many of the troops that had come to Leningrad from other places collapsed or defected in this atmosphere.

Many of the buildings that were originally well defended fell easily into the hands of the White Russian army.

Strictly speaking, what is happening in Leningrad now is not an urban storm, but a revolution in reverse.

"God grant the Empress to be strong and exalted, thy reign brings glory, ours is glorious thy reign which is feared by the enemy, and reigns over Orthodoxy.

God bless the Queen."

The national anthem of the Russian Empire, God Bless the Empress, was also resounded in many places south of Leningrad at this time, and soon overshadowed the cheers of "Ula Ula" and the sound of gunfire one after another, which was first played by dozens of loudspeakers, and then attracted many people who cheered for the Empress.

Standing on the walls of the Peter and Paul Fortress, the secretary of the Leningrad city w Kuznetsov, looking at the place where the cheers and songs came, gritted his teeth and repeated the same words in a trembling voice: "Too reactionary, too reactionary they don't deserve to be Leningraders, they don't deserve to be Soviets" The sound of leather boots hitting the granite floor reached Kuznetsov's ears, and then the hoarse voice of General Vlasov: "Comrade commissar, no, there are too many mutinous troops.

The Leningrad troops were not reliable, either defected in formation, or fled in large numbers, and their actions affected a part of the troops that had come from other places" "Don't say it" Kuznetsov interrupted General Vlasov, he didn't want to listen to these useless words, "how many troops can be used now" "In addition to the internal guards, there are only about 15 severely crippled infantry divisions, and at most only 120,150,000 men are available."

This is not to say that hundreds of thousands of Leningrad Front, except for these 12.15 million, are traitors.

Rather, these are the forces that the Leningrad Front Command can now use to defend the core city.

The remaining 300,000 or 400,000 people either defected or were eliminated or surrounded by the enemy, and because many troops defected, a large number of holes appeared in the Soviet defense line, and the Soviet army's defensive deployment was also known to the opponent.

As a result, the advance of the German and White Russians was very smooth, not only attacking the city of Leningrad in one fell swoop, but also encircling and dividing a large number of Soviet troops.

"With this force we can't hold that much territory," Mr.

Vlasov said, "and now we have to shrink further." ” "And shrink" Kuznetsov nodded subconsciously as soon as he heard the "shrink", "Comrade General, this is Leningrad, the second capital of the Motherland, can we give up half or two-thirds of Leningrad" "Then what else can we do" Vlasov shook his head bitterly, "we can't hold it, we can't hold it, now shrink, we can still keep the Central District and the Kirov Islands."

Otherwise, we would not have been able to hold even the last revolutionary stronghold in Leningrad. ” The Central District is the district where the Hermitage is located, and the Kirov Archipelago is the collective name for a series of large and small islands at the mouth of the Neva River, most of which are part of the most central urban area of Leningrad.

Because of the river to rely on and the large number of tall buildings to use as a stronghold, the Central District is actually an island, and there are many artificial rivers that can be used for defense, and the Kirov Islands are the most difficult areas of Leningrad to capture.

In the defense plan of the Leningrad Front, the Central District and the Kirov Islands were the last revolutionary strongholds.

If there are no more accidents, but unfortunately the Fourth Battle of Leningrad has been fought so far, it is theoretically possible to defend until the Neva River freezes in the winter of 43, and once the Neva River freezes, the German tanks and the French 194 "demolition guns" will be able to enter the Central District and the Kirov Islands area through the ice "Mr.

President, I have good news for you, the Russian Empress has returned to her faithful Petrograd and has been warmly welcomed by the people of Petrograd, God bless the Empress song echoes over the city" On the morning of June 15, U.S. time, Donovan, director of the U.S.

Strategic Intelligence Agency, reported to Roosevelt in a pleasant and relaxed tone the good news of the empress's return to Petrograd.

This is, of course, good news, at least for the United States, because once the Russian empress returns to Petrograd, then the door to Soviet-German negotiations will be completely closed.

The Soviet Union and Germany could only fight to the end endlessly.

"Leningrad has all fallen" Roosevelt did not appear too happy, but asked lightly.

"Nope."

Donovan replied with a smile, "According to reliable sources, although there have been a large number of mutinies, there are still more than 100,000 troops loyal to the Bolshevik Party in Leningrad, who have been shrinking since noon yesterday Leningrad time, and are now firmly in control of the most central part of Leningrad. ” Roosevelt nodded, "This is really good news that makes people unhappy."

He glanced at Hopkins, who was sitting in the Oval Office, "Harry, what do you think?"

"It's very worrying."

Harry Hopkins said, "This may well be a harbinger of the collapse of the Soviet Union, and what the Russians are fighting now about the GC belief or their homeland" "That's really a problem," Roosevelt frowned, "how is Stalin now, is his power still secure?"

"For the time being, it is relatively stable," Mr.

Donovan said, "and they have done a collective review of their political situation and have promised reforms with the main goal of improving the lives of the people after the war." ” "Reform if you lose the war," Hopkins said lightly, "this is the Russian tradition, but the question is whether Stalin's enemies will give him time to reform?"

"Will it be?"

Roosevelt asked rhetorically.

"I don't think so."

Hopkins said, "The current situation in Leningrad has actually closed the door to Soviet-German peace talks."

Even peace talks could not take place, and how could Stalin get a respite, so his promise of reform was actually very difficult to fulfill. ” "So how is he going to support it," Roosevelt asked.

"Russian nationalism," Harry Hopkins pondered, "I think that after the complete failure of Stalin's peace efforts, the Soviet Union will return to the banner of Russian nationalism for survival, and Stalin and the Bolshevik Party must represent the interests of the Russian nation and oppose Empress Olga, who betrayed the rights and interests of the Russian nation." ” Roosevelt nodded, the White Russian government headed by Empress Olga was just an irresponsible government in exile before entering Petrograd.

Accusing a government-in-exile of "betraying the country" is not in line with the European way of thinking, and how can it be said that others have betrayed the country?

And the various promises made during the exile seemed to Europeans to have no legal basis and were pure rhetoric.

Only when the government-in-exile returns to power and fulfills those promises in Europe, which are generally bounced, are real traitors.

Before entering Petrograd, Olga said that she would not say anything, but once she came to power in Petrograd, she would be the real Empress of Russia.

Then the cession of Belarus and Ukraine is now her trouble.

If Olga had agreed to the cession, she would have been immediately saddled with the name of a Russian traitor, and Stalin and the Bolsheviks would have immediately raised the banner of Russian nationalism.

And if Olga does not agree to betray the country, then she and her White Russia are a big problem for the Germans.

"I don't think she's stupid enough to offend Germany," Roosevelt sighed softly, "and you can see from how she's done over the years, she's not stupid." ” "But there is no shortage of fools in Russia," Hopkins smiled, "and we could have made a statement in favor of preserving the territorial integrity of Russia or the Soviet Union and achieving a just peace without land cession and without reparations." ” t1706231537:
