Ultimate Weapon of Magic and Science

The "calmness" achieved with the gun barrel is only temporary after all. Even the hardliners like Stolypin know that as long as the army is loyal to the tsar and government, it is impossible for the rioting population to double in size to evolve into a real one. revolution. But if the situation cannot be improved, sooner or later the army’s loyalty will be shaken. Once the support of the army is lost, the country can only crash into the abyss of destruction.

To avoid destruction, there are only two options.

First, the tsar made concessions to the people, carried out constitutional reforms, and showed good to the people;

Second, the Principality made compromises with the empire, accepted the quotation of the empire, and received assistance from the empire to overcome the immediate crisis.

Either way, Stolypin and the government of the Principality will not feel relaxed and happy.

The first option may make the reformists and the left-wing parties feel a little bit happy, but nobles, conservatives, and the right will not accept it. More importantly, Tsar Nicholas II will never accept it. At the coronation ceremony, the tsar vowed to rule the country as "the supreme tsar and tyranny of the whole Rose and the monarchy." His all-time deeds faithfully followed this oath. Nicholas II always rejected the constitutional demands of the bourgeois liberals, and imposed the same severe policy of repression on the radical revolution and the moderate reformers. Such an answer will be given to a request for him to share some of his powers without thinking about the answer.

The second option makes everyone unhappy. Everyone knows the ambition and strength of the empire, and everyone knows the emperor’s ambitions and wrists. Once the assistance of the empire is introduced, it is like putting a giant dangerous species into the house, and then it is difficult to send it out of the house. Too.

No one likes to choose between two bad options. For His Majesty the Czar, who is convinced that "concessions will only be earned in exchange", concessions are unacceptable both internally and externally. But since there are no other options, the two evils have to be chosen better.

If you must choose a concession, the tsar, noble, priest, and big bourgeoisie will only choose the latter. In addition to psychologically difficult to accept the master-slave reversal, even the temporary peer-to-peer relationship makes it difficult for nobles to bear, but also related to interest issues. That is, transferring interests and power to the lower class will help the country's stability and long-term development in the long run, but its rebate process and cycle are long and filled with too many unpredictable variables. And cooperation with the Empire can bring you huge profits that you can see right now. Therefore, even if you do not consider emotional issues, in the face of pros and cons, what kind of responses many purely beneficial animals will make is completely predictable.

"The Empire welcomes the wise decisions of His Majesty and the Principality Government. His Majesty asked me to ask His Excellency the Minister of Finance to convey greetings and gratitude to His Majesty. I believe that the two orthodox monarchies will be able to maintain international order and monarchy in the future. To achieve more cooperation."

After the Count Schulenburg finished, he took several sealed envelopes from his briefcase.

"We have already prepared the issues such as personnel training, the arrival of consultants, and the time when the work will be carried out. The relevant agreement can be launched immediately after it is signed. However, to stabilize the situation, China will provide emergency assistance to a batch of anti-riot equipment. ."

"Can you tell me what kind of equipment it is?"

Stolypin frowned, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who had long been accustomed to repressing, vaguely smelled a **** smell.

"Several chemical gases used to deal with riots."

Schulenburg has a calm look and a relaxed tone, as if it were a professional consultant at the front desk receiving customers.

"According to the use, we can roughly divide it into three categories, one is the sleeping gas with anesthesia and sleeping effect; the other is the evacuation gas that causes tearing, vomiting, skin allergic reactions, and loss of coordination ability; the last one This kind of gas can completely solve all the mob before the crowd reacts."

Stolypin stood up violently, violently knocking over the chair, the wide and huge desk shivered, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer glared at the bloodshot eyes, glaring at the calm empire ambassador.

The so-called "chemical gases used to deal with riots" provided by the Empire are actually chemical weapons.

The first is deep anesthesia gas, which can quickly anesthetize people and lose their ability to move. The most famous example of this type of gas is the narcotic gas used in the incident at the Theatre of the Cultural Palace Building of the Moscow Bearing Factory in another world on October 27, 2002. Its apparent excess power caused the death of at least 129 hostages.

The second type is disabling gas. Its main representative product is the Bitz (BZ) developed in the United States in 1962. This poison gas mainly produces poisoning effects through inhalation of the respiratory tract. Symptoms of poisoning are: dilated pupils, headache, auditory hallucinations, slow thinking, and sluggish reaction.

Although the above two gases carry the risk of being fatal if they are not careful, it can still be regarded as a kind of equipment for "dispelling" and "relieving violence". The third kind of gas-"used for a complete solution"-is a chemical weapon purely aimed at killing: nerve poison gas.

The empire supplies the VX nerve gas known as the "king of poisonous gas". This type of poisonous gas can be transmitted by air and water. In addition to inhalation, human skin can be poisoned by contact with it. Symptoms are disorders of the central nervous system, stopping breathing, and eventually death.

Given such a dangerous thing to the Principality, one can imagine what kind of thought the empire had.

"Your Ambassador, does your country want to see St. Petersburg covered in dead bodies?"

"My Excellency, the Chancellor, on behalf of the empire, swore to you and your majesty the tsar that the empire is not happy to see a large-scale humanitarian disaster."

Count Schulenburg raised his right hand, his face divine and solemn.

"But we must also consider the emergency plan in the worst case."

"The worst case..."

"My Excellency, the Minister of Finance, I believe you also know that the reason why the recent series of riots can be suppressed depends on the army loyal to His Majesty the Tsar. As long as the army remains loyal, it can always cope with various situations. Just..."

"..."

Schulenburg didn't say much about it, and the black-faced Stolypin lifted his seat indifferently and sat back again.

The army is loyal to the tsar, and any riots can be suppressed.

But once the army is no longer loyal, it even stands on the side of the rioters...

The seemingly indestructible principality and tsarist system, once lost the support of the army's violent machine, it would fall to the ground in only three days at most. And in just three days, it was not even enough for foreign forces who wanted to extinguish the revolution to figure out the situation, not to mention the formation of an interference army to protect the king of the Principality.

In order to allow time for foreign interference in the worst of these situations, some degree of "special means" is necessary.

"If it can be solved with the first two gases, then naturally it is the best. But if it can't be solved, the mob and the chaotic army open the armory, and in the face of the armed mob chaotic party, there must be a way to quickly suppress. If It is of course the best for the magician to continue to be loyal, but if even the magician is at odds, then only a third gas can be used at this time."

"But if it causes heavy casualties."

Stolypin hesitated and asked:

"It will inevitably further intensify the resentment and anger of the people. What is next? The uprisings throughout the country. The mob will find all the dignitaries and nobles who can be found and cut off their heads. One day they will drag you out of the embassy , Under my window, someone will come and cut your head, and then cut me off."

"And then? Your Excellency."

"Then? You are dead, I am dead, Your Majesty... We all have to die."

"Yeah, we will all die, and one day we will all face death. But we can at least choose a solemn and decent method of death. We are fighting to defend order and the sacred cause, whether on the guillotine Still on the battlefield, it is also glorious to dedicate heroically to the power of the Mother God."

Stolypin's locked brows gradually spread, and his once confused eyes also started to shine.

Seeing the changes in Stolypin, Schulenburg immediately hit the iron while it was hot.

"Your Excellency, there is no retreat in this battle, only battle. Even if you surrender, the royal family and nobles fell into the hands of the mob and were only infamous and executed after being humiliated. And if the battle is in the end, in case of unfortunate defeat, they still carry Is the royal dignity calmly dying? Isn’t this a noble act in the annals of history? Not to mention the possibility of defeat with the assistance of the empire."

"I understand."

Seemingly figured out the joints, Stolypin nodded silently and took all the envelopes.

"I will report to your majesty immediately and sign the contract as soon as possible."

"Looking forward to the wise judgment of His Majesty the Tsar."

After bowing for a while, Schulenburg showed a perfect business smile~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Just as the two big men discussed about the further cooperation, a floating cruiser sailed into St. Petersburg alone. naval port.

As a few Principality battleships that returned through the Battle of Amliza and returned innocuously, this ship and its crew passed the test of blood and fire after many hardships. But what was waiting for the cruiser and the crew was not flowers, cheers, tears and laughter after the reunion. Only members of the Military Investigation Committee who had been impatiently waiting on the pier.

No one in the fleet likes this ship. The superiors dismissed it, believing that it failed to do its due diligence to defend the dignity and honor of the empire; the officers tabooed it, and even refused to accept the order to transfer the ship, because everyone thought that the ship was filled with "failure and revolution".

The sailors and officers on board believed that they had done their utmost to fulfill their duties. More than half of the crew were still loyal to His Majesty the Tsar and the country... but they were just a defeated army bearing the shame of defeat. After experiencing countless difficulties, fighting a great enemy and returning to St. Petersburg after suffering, so they became the most dangerous revolutionaries!

The Principality does not need revolutionaries, and this dangerous existence should be immediately wiped out.

It should be said that the officers’ suspicions are correct.

After a brutal war, after all kinds of battles before and after the Battle of Amliza, after a **** and cruel battle, after knowing the truth of the "bakery commotion" and the "Neva River hacking incident", the sailors and many on the ship The officer has seen everything clearly-everything in this country, everything in this tragedy, everything in this era.

After consciously seeing everything, this ship is about to send the cannon to the principality and the whole world.

The name of this cruiser is-"Aphrodite".
