The curtains were covered and the clocks were swaying. In a room in the Kremlin of Moscow, Ulyanov, the leader of the Bolshevik, was lying on the sickbed, closing his eyes and breathing. He was wrapped in thick white bandages on his chest, and the edges were still covered with dark red blood. His pale face and the sheets that were tightly clutched as palms all showed how painful and hurt his body was suffering.

On July 30, 1914, after Ulyanov gave a united speech to the workers at the Mikherson factory on the outskirts of Moscow, a hand holding a Browning pistol reached out from the crowd less than three steps away. Ulyanov, caught off guard, was shot twice immediately, one of which hit him in the left chest and passed through the neck. This severe trauma immediately made him unconscious. The female gunman who committed the murderer

Kaplan was captured on the spot. Ironically, this person was a member of the Social Revolutionary Party. During the Russian Revolution in 1905, he fought side by side with the Bolsheviks in order to overthrow the Tsar. However, it was precisely because the Bolsheviks had brutally tore up the promise of the Constitutional Assembly that Kaplan felt that he had been greatly deceived. Under the interweaving anger, he angrily conducted a just judgment on the "revolutionary traitor" Ulyanov!

As a destructionist of the hostile class and a heinous criminal who assassinated the leader, Kaplan was undoubtedly sentenced to a firing shot by the Bolsheviks three days later and executed immediately. Because Kaplan himself suffered from severe myopia, the two shots that were originally determined to be attacked did not completely hit the key points, and Ulyanov's injuries began to improve after a few days. However, this matter did not come to an end.

As the situation of domestic conflicts and confrontation in Russia became increasingly intensified, Ulyanov had long wanted to use military and political means to implement tough strategies and eliminate all forces that dared to be enemies of the Bolsheviks; this time his assassination undoubtedly provided him with a great opportunity to launch a campaign. After his injury was first cured, Ulyanov issued his new order: to retaliate against his assassination by "promoting large-scale terror" and to resist the actions of resistance in various places controlled by the Bolsheviks. The anti-counterfeiting committee (Chika) led by Derrensky immediately acted quickly like a group of evil dogs; they had a sensitive sense of smell and ubiquitous surveillance, and once they found their prey, their sharp minions and cruel nature allowed them to execute the stubborn enemy without hesitation.

In just a few days, there were gallows in the territory under the control of the Bolsheviks: in the suburbs of Moscow where Ulyanov was assassinated, more than 200 people were identified as "hostile counter-revolutionaries" and shot. Thousands of others were detained. In some areas that resisted the Bolsheviks' grain collection, the Chekas even arrested rich peasants, merchants, and landlords; while hanging them in public, they also announced the names of these people to the public.

All their property and food were seized. The official Bolshevik newspaper published an article saying that it would "use large-scale terror to suppress the counter-revolutionary Hydra - anyone who dared to spread slight rumors against Soviet rule would be immediately arrested and sent to concentration camps." Chika was granted the order to immediately execute the counter-revolutionary enemy without trial, which made Russia under the Bolshevik rule even more terrifying haze.

"Tu tuk." A slight knock on the door sounded, which was particularly clear in the quiet room. Ulyanov, who was recuperating, frowned slightly, and then spit out a syllable for incoming. After a while, a sound of footsteps echoed in his ears. Ulyanov struggled to open his eyes, and saw that in the soft and dim light filtered by the curtains, Trotsky and Kamenev had slowly walked to his bed.

"I'm so sorry. Comrade Ulyanov, we did not intend to disturb your rest. But now important things have indeed happened and you need to decide." Trotsky spoke softly, his eyes under the lenses always had such a peaceful and quiet expression. "I just received a report that the demon monk Gregory Rasputin, who disappeared during the February Revolution, has now fallen into our hands. Felix Yusupov, the former Prince of the Romanov Dynasty, designed to capture Rasputin and surrender to us with the demon monk; his only request was to return the property that originally belonged to the Yusupov family."

After hearing Trotsky's words, Ulyanov, who was already tired, suddenly shook his body, and then his eyes were shining brightly. He struggled to sit up from his sickbed, and he could not hide his surprise and excitement in his words: "Great. This villain with great sin has lost his trace since the revolution. We all thought he had fled abroad first. Unexpectedly, he was still in Russia and fell into the hands of the people! He committed an unforgivable sin against Russia, and most of the tyranny of the Tsar during his reign was committed by him. We must conduct a nationwide public trial on him and then execute him to demonstrate justice! In this way, the reputation and status of our Bolsheviks in the minds of the people can be further improved, which is undoubtedly an extremely beneficial thing for the upcoming period of suppressing the rebellion."

"So what about Yusupov's request? Do we need to return his family property that we did not receive?" Kamenev spoke softly, with a hint of heartache in his words. "Before the Tsar was overthrown, the Yusupov family was the richest force besides Romanov: there were 7 palaces in St. Petersburg and Moscow alone, hundreds of mines, factories, plantations, merchants, and even oil fields in the Caspian Sea, with countless treasures and antiques. Due to the family politics of the Tsarist government, these top nobles have amazing wealth comparable to the country. If we fulfill our contract, this will undoubtedly be a significant damage to the finances of the Soviet government."

Ulyanov snorted coldly and said, "So I am not going to fulfill this naive agreement with him. He Felix is ​​just a survivor of the previous dynasty, so what qualifications do he have to negotiate terms with the Soviet government? What's more, all of the property of the Yusupov family was realized by crazy exploitation of the surplus value of the working people. He was originally a shameless and greedy exploiter! Based on his achievements in capturing Rasputin, the benevolent Soviet government will not pursue the sins he had committed before like he did to other class enemies; give him 1,000 rubles as a settlement fee, so that he and his family would immediately disappear on the land of Russia, otherwise all the consequences caused by this would be borne by him."

Kamenev took the order respectfully. He paused and then said, "There is another thing that needs to be decided by Comrade Ulyanov. Just now, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People received a telegram from the Dutch government, which stated that since the Queen of the Netherlands and former Tsar Nikola were related, they hoped that we could extradite the Nikola family to Amsterdam and hand it over to the Dutch government for protection."

Ulyanov frowned, his eyes full of confusion. For Russia, the Netherlands is simply a small Central European country with no intersection with him. This time they actually made extradition requests for the abdicated Tsar, which was a bit abrupt and difficult to distinguish. However, thinking of the current chaotic situation, Ulyanov's eyes gradually became clear and said, "I don't want to know what kind of marriage relationship exists between these imperialist blood-sucking insects. I only know that the bloody Nikola is the butcher of the Russian people, and he will be punished by the Soviet government for justice. This is the basic internal affairs of our country and no force can be interfered with."

Trotsky nodded slightly and said, "Comrade Ulyanov said very well. As the number one person in the reactionary forces, the former Tsar Nikola himself was an extremely sensitive person: there are still many reactionaries in China who are concerned about him, which prompts us to hold their family in our hands. If Nikola can leave the country with a decent appearance, he will inevitably continue to exert his influence overseas and become an excellent banner to call on the Belarusian forces in China. If others don't say it, Denikin, who is now separating the North Caucasus, is a reactionary officer who is absolutely loyal to the Romanov royal family! Therefore, only by holding Nikola in our hands can we suppress those Belarusian forces to the greatest extent; if necessary, even if he is executed, he cannot be extradited abroad."

Ulyanov's eyes flashed and he slowly said, "It must be so. This must be a trick made by the class enemies who are in love with the Tsar and hate the Soviet regime. They want to use the hands of foreign imperialism to rescue Nikola out of our control, and then allow him to continue to influence Russian domestic politics overseas, intending to overthrow the new Soviet regime! I will never let the enemy's treacherous plan succeed. In the past, in order to balance the forces of all parties and peacefully reunify the country, we did not make too many moves against the abdicated butcher Nikola; now those reactionary forces have shown their vicious fangs, so we no longer have to let the former ruling classes led by Nikola continue to use the mercy of revolution."

"Immediately arrest the nobles, senior government officials, and capital giants of the former Tsar period that we control. We must judge their crimes and completely eliminate these blood-sucking insects. The trial of Rasputin and the Tsar couple will be given priority. The latest deadline for execution should not exceed one week, so as not to avoid any unexpected changes." Ulyanov pondered for a moment, and then spoke again.

"What should the children of the Tsar do? They are all underage children." Kamenev said with some embarrassment. Ulyanov slowly lay back on his couch and said, "Comrade Kamenev, do you want those evil seeds to grow up smoothly and then seek revenge from us? While executing the Tsar and his wife, they will be executed one by one. We cannot leave any disaster for ourselves." (To be continued, please search for astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
