Grand Duke Nikolai did not want to continue fighting and planned to go into exile.
Doing so, of course, is a little unwilling. However, it may be the best option.
If you stay in China, you will worry about your life. It would be safer to leave the Russian Empire.
With the wealth he has accumulated in this life, although not very much. However, it is also enough for him to live the rest of his life comfortably.
The reason why Grand Duchess Olga Nikolaevna was taken away with him was also to ensure her safety. Of course, it is also to have a hole card in the hand.
As soon as Sergey Witte heard about Grand Duke Nikolai’s choice, he was immediately anxious.
“Your Excellency, how can you give up now, with your influence in the army, although this time it failed. However, other armies will inevitably follow your orders. With financial support from the imperial treasury, you will soon be able to raise a strong army!” Sergeevit hurriedly persuaded.
Grand Duke Nikolai shook his head: “I underestimated Mikhail, his army has strong firepower and even stronger combat effectiveness.” Even if I can mobilize an army in a short period of time. But how could a rabble be a rival to Mikhail’s elite troops? ”
Sergey Witte saw that Grand Duke Nikolai had made up his mind, and he did not intend to change it, so he had to stop persuading.
“Your Excellency, Grand Duke, you have made a correct decision, a decision that is beneficial to the Russian Empire!” lamented Prime Minister Previ.
“Your Excellency Prime Minister, no matter what, I am also a member of the Empire and will never do anything to harm the Empire! Mikhail has already won, maybe it will be against you!” reminded Grand Duke Nikolai.
Prime Minister Previ shook his head: “I am not young, although this time I expressed support for Grand Duke Olga Nikolaevna, there is also a little selfishness. However, since Grand Duke Mikhail wants to inherit the throne, he will not be so small-bellied. Big deal, I just resigned as Prime Minister. ”
In fact, Prime Minister Previ was well aware that he would not be able to remain prime minister until Grand Duke Mikhail succeeded to the throne. Instead of this, it is better to voluntarily resign. In this way, you can also protect your reputation.
Sergey Witt wanted to go into exile, but he really couldn’t let go of his family property!
As the Minister of the Exchequer, he is also a famous money-making master. In his life, he has made a lot of money.
His personal wealth amounted to more than a billion rubles.
You know, the annual fiscal revenue of the Russian Empire is only 1.2 billion rubles.
It can be seen how rich Sergey Vet is.
However, most of his wealth is land, mines, real estate, and gold stored in banks. There are not many soft that can really be taken away at any time.
If you leave the Russian Empire now. Then, these riches will undoubtedly not be taken away, and they can only cheapen Grand Duke Mikhail.
Sergey Vita was already a very greedy person for money, and naturally did not want to leave so much money behind.
What’s more, he also had a trace of luck in his heart.
Although he is a little greedy, he is still very outstanding in terms of ability. This is especially true when it comes to financial management.
Perhaps, the Grand Sanhedrin Mikhail will value his talents and forgive him for his previous sins.
In that case, everyone will undoubtedly be happy.
“Your Excellency, I’d better stay in the country!” said Sergewitte.
Unfortunately, he ultimately underestimated Grand Duke Mikhail’s ruthless methods and tolerance of corruption.
Seeing this, Grand Duke Nicholas no longer persuaded.
The next day, Grand Duke Nikolai, Grand Duke Aglenny, left Petersburg by boat with his family and the wealth he could take with him. They were ready to go to the Germanic Empire and then take the route to the Empire that never sets.
The royal family of the Tsarist Empire was related to the Germanic Empire and the Empire that never sets. If they go into exile, there should be no problem.
Grand Duke Mikhail’s cavalry unit, on the night of May 23, arrived in Petersburg.
The defenders of Petersburg, without any resistance, surrendered directly to them.
Soon, the whole of Petersburg fell under the control of the army of Grand Duke Mikhail.
At the same time, all members of the cabinet, including Prime Minister Previ and Finance Minister Sergevita and others, openly expressed their position in rescinding the previous decision and supporting Grand Duke Mikhail to the throne and becoming the new tsar.
In other cases, other officials of the Russian Empire, as well as local governors, as well as military generals, naturally echoed them.
For a while, it was as if the entire Russian Empire was already kneeling to welcome the new Tsar Duke Mikhail.
