“Your Excellency, do we really want to do this? Once revealed, the consequences will be dire. Lieutenant General Brushilov reminded.

After all, Nicholas II was the tsar of the Russian Empire anyway. Grand Duke Mikhail directly sent someone to assassinate him, this is simply a big rebellion!

What’s more, the tsar had a very great influence in the minds of ordinary people in the Russian Empire.

Even if it succeeds, once it leaks out. Then, Grand Duke Mikhail in the Tsarist Russian Empire will inevitably be like a rat crossing the street, everyone will shout and beat.

“Your Excellency Chief of Staff, we have no other choice. After the death of my father, Nikolai began to suppress us. In the first three months of this year, only half of our military spending was paid, and the rest was owed. On the side of the Black Sea Fleet, even more so. The Admiralty has shelved our shipbuilding application plan. If it goes on like this, Nikolai will be aggressive. At that time, I am afraid that our generals and officers will be directly removed, and even our army will be taken over. Our efforts over the years have been in vain. I absolutely can’t accept this happening! Grand Duke Mikhail looked resolute.

“Your Excellency, if we fail, then we must be ready for all-out war!” Lieutenant General Brushilov said.

“Even if we start a full-scale war, we have a good chance of winning. Our army, though only half the size of the army controlled by Nikolai. However, neither firepower nor the combat effectiveness of the soldiers can be compared to the waste of the army. Our only disadvantage is that it cannot be sustained, and we must fight quickly. Otherwise, our financial resources will not survive. “Grand Duke Mikhail also has a clear understanding of his own strength.

In Volgograd, there is an arsenal that he carefully built, which is the largest in the entire Russian Empire. The equipment used also came from the Germanic Empire.

This is also why the troops of the Caucasus Military District, after being rearmed, have a very different caliber of weapons from the Imperial Army of Tsarist Russia.

Especially in artillery, the field guns equipped by the Tsarist Imperial Army were 76.2 mm, and the howitzers were 122 mm and 152 mm. However, the Caucasian army is armed with 75 mm field guns, 105 mm and 155 mm howitzers.

Whether it is to expand the army or to change the troops’ clothes on a large scale, this is very expensive.

Even Alexander III subsidized Grand Duke Mikhail a lot, and even left a rich legacy to Grand Duke Mikhail after his death. However, the money is spending less and less, and now there is very little left.

In the entire Caucasus, the only pillar industry is probably the oil exploitation of the Baku oil field.

But at present, the amount of oil used in the world is not large, and relying on the little oil export in the Baku oil field is simply unable to support the huge army of the entire Caucasus Military District.

Therefore, Grand Duke Mikhail was eager to settle Nicholas II as soon as possible and seize the throne. At that time, it will be possible to use the financial resources of the entire Russian Empire to support a powerful army in preparation for future wars.

Although the Russian Empire was also very poor, the poor did not have enough to eat, and the poor people could not even wear pants, there were many people.

However, there were also quite a few rich people in the Tsarist Empire. Capitalists, bankers, big landowners, big bureaucrats, one by one, they are rich and oily.

After taking the throne and seizing the supreme power of the Tsarist Empire, there were means to take money out of these guys.

If nothing else, there are thousands of tons of gold in the secret vault of the royal family of the Tsarist Empire alone! This is an extremely large fortune!

I have to admit that the successive tsars of the Tsarist Russian Empire, although the level of governance is not very good, but they are definitely a good hand in accumulating wealth!

So many generations of tsars came down and amassed an extremely large fortune.

But unfortunately, after the collapse of the Russian Empire, all this wealth fell into the hands of the Cloth Party.

In other words, Grand Duke Mikhail became tsar, and he would definitely not let this wealth lie in the dark treasury.

This money had to be spent and turned into the industrial and military strength of the Russian Empire to enhance the overall strength of the Russian Empire and allow the Russian Empire to win future wars, rather than collapse.

Grand Duke Mikhail had many ideas for the next development of the Russian Empire. However, if these ideas are to be realized, there is a prerequisite, that is, he replaced Nicholas II as the tsar of the Russian Empire and became the ruler of the country. Otherwise, everything is empty words.

And that’s why. Therefore, Grand Duke Mikhail made up his mind that he must get rid of Nicholas II.

In this way, he could seize the throne at a minimum cost and become the tsar of the Russian Empire.

“Don’t worry, we’re ready. This time, the plan will definitely succeed! Grand Duke Mikhail said.

“Yes, Your Excellency!” Seeing this, Lieutenant General Brushilov had to say nothing more.

“Your Excellency, we have received reliable information that in three days, His Majesty the Tsar will return to Petersburg from the imperial village, and we plan to do it on the way. Everything is ready, Your Majesty the Tsar this time, there is no doubt that he will die! “Major General Vasily looked extremely confident.
