Russia, Petersburg, the official residence of the Minister of Finance, Sergei Witt.
The entire residence was magnificent and decorated with many gold ornaments. From this, it could be seen that the financial resources of the finance minister were not ordinary.
Even the commander-in-chief of the Russian army, Grand Duke Nikola, could not help but feel jealous. He cursed Sergei Viktor in his heart. He did not know how much money he had earned.
"Your Excellency, there are still people in the cabinet who support Grand Duke Michael. For example, Pobedonoshchev, Izvorsky, and others. They would definitely report this to Grand Duke Michael.”Sergei Viktor couldn't help but worry.
"I wish they would tell me.”Archduke Nicholas looked indifferent.
"If that's the case, there will be a big problem. Grand Duke Michael would definitely not accept such an outcome! He might even lead the army to attack. He had hundreds of thousands of troops under him.”Sergei Viktor's heart tightened, and he couldn't hide the panic on his face.
"If he has the guts, that would be for the best. I will lead the army and defeat him directly. It's just a little kid in his teens. Could it be that he can really pose a threat to us? He had only been the commander of the Caucasus Military Region and the Black Sea Fleet for a few years. It was not worth mentioning at all!”Grand Duke Nicholas did not take Grand Duke Michael seriously at all.
Grand Duke Nikola had been a soldier all his life. He commanded the army of the Russian Empire to fight everywhere, so he naturally did not take Grand Duke Michael seriously.
Sergei Viktor nodded. He also believed this.
If Grand Duke Michael dared to raise the flag of rebellion, he would definitely not be a match for Grand Duke Nicholas.
"Your Excellency, it seems that we won't have any problems this time!”Sergei Viktor said.
"Of course! No one can shake your position as the Chancellor of the Exchanges. Perhaps, there was still a chance to improve.”Grand Duke Nicholas said.
Sergei Witt was no fool. He knew that Grand Duke Nicholas coveted the throne of the Tsar. However, he didn't answer right away. He still needed to think about it.
Archduke Nicholas knew this too, so he did not force him.
Volgograd, Governor's Mansion.
Grand Duke Michael summoned Lieutenant General Brushilov, Chief of Staff of the Caucasus Military Region, and Major General Vasily, Director of the Intelligence Bureau.
"As we expected, those people in Petersburg really want to steal my throne. They planned to let a baby who was only half a year old become the female tsar to satisfy their ambition of hiding behind the scenes and controlling the highest power of the country.”Grand Duke Michael said through gritted teeth.
Even though he had already expected this possibility. However, after learning that those guys were really so bold, he was still very angry.
"Your Excellency, we must make our voices heard. We cannot let their scheme succeed!”Major General Vasily immediately said.
"Your Excellency, the army is ready. Give the order!”Lieutenant General Brushilov said.
Although Lieutenant General Brushilov was very unwilling to see a civil war break out in the Russian Empire.
However, he was also very clear that the arrow was already on the bow and had no choice but to shoot.
Their fates had long been tied to Grand Duke Michael.
If Grand Duke Michael failed, they would not have a good ending either.
Moreover, Lieutenant General Brushilov and the others also thought highly of Grand Duke Michael.
Although Grand Duke Michael was still young, they had seen what he had done over the past few years.
At the very least, Grand Duke Michael was definitely more suitable to become the Tsar of the Russian Empire than the little baby in Petersburg.
"Very good. Since they want to force us to this point, there's nothing we can do. He ordered the troops to get ready. According to the plan, march to Petersburg!”Grand Duke Michael ordered.
The staff of the Caucasus Military Region had already made plans for such situations. In addition, the troops were also prepared for battle and could move out at any time.
According to the plan, after Grand Duke Michael gave the order, the army of the Caucasus military region would be expanded to 20 infantry divisions. At the same time, of the 20 infantry divisions that were the main force, only 5 divisions were left to guard against the Turks. The remaining 15 divisions, 10 cavalry regiments, and heavy artillery regiments would all go north.
The remaining five infantry divisions, a few mountain infantry brigades, and twenty additional infantry divisions were enough to deal with the threat of the Turks.
The main force would go north along the Volga River. After arriving at Kazan, they would march west towards Mosk. After taking down Mosk, they would march on Petersburg.
Of course, according to Michael's estimation, Petersburg would not just watch them take down Mosk. It was very likely that both sides would have a decisive battle in Mosk.
As long as they could win this battle. Then, everything was settled.
