In another time and space, after the uprising of the Bolsheviks, they were besieged by the foreign powers?
After the collapse of the Russian Empire, the major powers supported the generals of the Russian Empire, providing them with funds and weapons to wage war against the Bolsheviks.
They could even send intervention troops into the Russian Empire.
Of course, this was not only to deal with the Bolsheviks, but also to seize territory.
If the war between Grand Duke Michael and Grand Duke Nikola didn't end so quickly, it would have entered a stalemate. In that case, those powers would definitely take the opportunity to intervene and seize the territory of the Russian Empire.
It could be said that the current Russian Empire was filled with enemies!
Even if the Russian Empire had an ally like Gaul. However, Gaul was too far away from the Russian Empire. At the same time, the combat strength of the Gauls was not much to begin with, so they could not be counted on.
Nicholas II, who had been killed, once said," The only allies of the Russian Empire are the army and the navy."
From this, one could undoubtedly see what kind of environment the Russian Empire was facing.
They could only rely on themselves.
Fortunately, the battle between Grand Duke Michael and Grand Duke Nicholas was quickly decided.
Moreover, after the defeat, Grand Duke Nicholas did not continue to mobilize his army and persevere. Otherwise, there might be even more variables in this war.
Now, the Russian Empire had regained its stability. Grand Duke Michael also inherited the throne and received the support of the entire Russian Empire. The other powers naturally had no choice but to give up on the Russian Empire.
After all, the Russian Empire was still a powerful country. The vast territory and population of the Russian Empire alone were enough to make other countries shrink back.
On June 25th, Michael held the first joint meeting of the Imperial Cabinet and the military in the conference room of the Ke Palace.
Not only did the cabinet ministers attend this meeting, but the higher-ups of the military also attended this meeting.
Mihail needed to set a big tone for the future development of the Russian Empire. As well as the appointment and removal of personnel in the cabinet and the military.
As the saying went, every emperor had his own courtiers. Now that he was the tsar, he naturally had to promote his confidant to take power. This way, his throne would be more stable.
Otherwise, even if he was the Tsar. However, if the people under him were not on the same side as him. Then, wouldn't he be made a figurehead very soon?
"Everyone, in order to violate the Law of Succession to the Throne and prevent me from inheriting the throne, Grand Duke Nicholas did not hesitate to spread rumors and encourage the army to rebel. Now, he had already failed and fled the empire. However, the empire could not forgive him. I hereby announce that Grand Duke Nicholas will be stripped of all honorary titles. All his assets in the country were confiscated.
The followers who fled overseas with Grand Duke Nicholas would be dealt with as well!”
Grand Duke Michael announced.
No one dared to question this question.
The principle of the winner taking all was recognized everywhere.
"Your Majesty, I have been the Prime Minister for many years. I request to resign from the position of Prime Minister. I hope Your Majesty will allow it!”Prime Minister Pahlavi submitted a resignation request.
Michael didn't try to persuade him to stay. He already knew that Prime Minister Pravi supported Grand Duke Nikolay.
Naturally, he would not keep such a prime minister.
"Since the Prime Minister wants to resign and retire at home, I'm not unreasonable. Since that's the case, then you should go and recuperate!”Mihail said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" answered Privi.
Although he had already made up his mind, now that he had resigned from the post of Prime Minister, his heart could not help but feel empty. After all, this was a position that was second only to one person in the Russian Empire!
The other ministers all looked at Mihail.
Prime Minister Primeval Minister Primeval Pravi resigned. Then, the position of Prime Minister would be vacant. These ministers naturally wanted to become the new prime minister.
In particular, the director of the Orthodox Affairs Administration, Pobedonoshchev, had long coveted this position.
However, Michael did not immediately announce a new prime minister candidate. Instead, he issued an arrest order.
"Men, arrest Sergei Witt and put him in jail. No visitation. All his assets and bank accounts were seized!”
"Ah!"
Sergei Viktor's face turned ashen in disbelief.
The other cabinet ministers could not help but feel their hearts tighten.
They finally understood that although Michael was young, he was undoubtedly much more ruthless than Nicholas II.
"Your Majesty, didn't you declare at the coronation ceremony that you would let bygones be bygones?”Sergei Viktor was furious.
"Humph! You embezzled so much of the empire's property, how can I let you off just like that?”Mihail snorted.
Besides, he did this not only to kill Sergei Witt, but also to intimidate the other cabinet ministers.
