“Come, let His Excellency the Chief of Staff come immediately!” ordered Grand Duke Mikhail.
“Yes, Your Excellency!” Secretary Yakov suppressed the excitement in his heart and hurriedly went to inform.
As a confidant of Grand Duke Mikhail, he knew clearly about the plan to assassinate Nicholas II. Now, the plan has succeeded. This meant that Grand Duke Mikhail would soon be able to inherit the throne and become the tsar of the Russian Empire. This made Yakov very excited. After all, his identity can also rise with it.
The chief of staff of the Caucasus Military District, Lieutenant General Brushlov, soon came to the office of Grand Duke Mikhail.
He also learned that Nicholas II had been killed, although he felt somewhat guilty. But at this point, there is no other option.
He was a general promoted by Grand Duke Mikhail, and then naturally hoped that Grand Duke Mikhail could be a good tsar, a tsar who could lead the Russian Empire to a stronger tsar.
“Your Excellency Chief of Staff, order our army to secretly enter a state of combat readiness. As soon as the order is given, it can be dispatched immediately!” ordered Grand Duke Mikhail.
His Majesty the Tsar has passed away, and according to the law of succession to the throne, you are the first in line to the throne!”
Major General Vasily, too.
In their plan, after bombing Nicholas II, everything should fall into place.
Grand Duke Mikhail shook his head: “I also hope to smoothly inherit the throne and become a tsar.” However, we have to prepare for the worst. The people in Petersburg may not be happy to see me inherit the throne. So, when necessary, we have to show strong force. Only in this way can we ensure that we achieve our goals!”
“Yes, Your Excellency!” replied both Lieutenant General Bruchlov and Major General Vasily.
Tsar Nicholas II was assassinated and killed on the spot.
This caused an uproar in Petersburg.
Even if Nicholas II’s guards blocked the scene on the spot, but it was a highway, people came and went, how could it be possible to completely block the news?
It can be said that the news of the assassination of Nicholas II swept away to the Russian Empire, Europe and the world like a shock bomb.
The high-ranking officials of the Tsarist Empire were also shocked when they learned the news. These ministers seem completely unable to accept this fact.
Soon, though, they will have to face this reality.
And, it’s time to clean up the mess.
The bodies of the assassinated Tsar Nicholas II and his wife were placed in the church, where a grand funeral would be held at a later date.
However, before that, they had to deliberate on the next new tsar of the Russian Empire.
As the saying goes, a country cannot be left without masters for a day!
This is especially true of such a world-class power as the Russian Empire.
Vyacheslav Privi, Prime Minister of the Russian Empire, summoned a group of senior cabinet and military officials to discuss the matter.
Including the Administration of Orthodox Affairs Pobedonosschev, Minister of the Interior Piastolepin, Minister of Finance Sergevit, Minister of Foreign Affairs Izvolsky, Minister of War Sukhomlinov, Minister of the Navy Alexander and Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Army Archduke Nikolai were all present.
These people can be described as high-ranking and directly represent the highest level of the Tsarist Russian Empire.
The Orthodox Church is the state religion of the Russian Empire, so the head of the Orthodox Church, Pobedonoschav, does not have much real power. However, it wielded great influence in the cabinet and even in the entire Russian Empire.
As the commander-in-chief of the Russian army, Grand Duke Nicholas had great influence in the Tsarist Imperial Army. At the same time, he was the uncle of Nicholas II and Grand Duke Mikhail. Even, his succession to the throne was second only to Grand Duke Mikhail.
“Gentlemen, our esteemed Tsar Majesty was shamefully assassinated. We must not spare the murderer and the mastermind behind it, we must hang him!” Prime Minister Previ said, gritting his teeth.
The other cabinet ministers also looked like they were gritting their teeth.
“At the scene of the explosion, we found the remnants of the pamphlets of the Cloth Party, and we can determine that the murderer is a Cloth Party person. Of course, there is a high probability that the mastermind behind it is the top level of the Bu Party. After His Majesty succeeded to the throne, he intensified the blow to the Cloth Party, and those guys held a grudge and assassinated His Majesty. I propose that the Bu Party be arrested nationwide. This time, we must not forgive them anymore, we must deal with them severely!” suggested Home Secretary Stolypin.
“Whether it was done by the Bu Party or someone deliberately planted the Bu Party, it is still difficult to say. Wait until it is clear!” Archduke Nikolai suddenly began.
The other ministers, looking at Grand Duke Nikolai, suddenly had a hint of strangeness in their eyes.
These ministers are old and refined guys. Grand Duke Nikolai’s statement is impossible for them not to start associations.
