The Rise Of Australasia

"Comrades, take action. In the face of the greatest crisis our country has ever faced, we must unite and lead our great nation through this disaster. Comrade Lev Davidovich Bronstein, I hope you can report to me on the situation of the military every day and be prepared to deal with the enemy forces of the World Alliance at any time."

At that time, the Soviet government was still efficient. As the Presidium meeting ended, the whole Soviet Russia was mobilized to face what they considered to be the greatest crisis.

Meanwhile, in Saint Petersburg, the Tsarist Russia conference seemed much more relaxed.

Tsar Nicholas II, who had not made a public appearance for a long time, not only attended the meeting in a high-profile manner but also showed a smile on his face once again.

Nicholas II, who had regained power, still held the nominal position of Russian Commander-in-Chief.

Of course, this time Nicholas II had learned his lesson. Although he was the Russian Commander-in-Chief in name, he handed over the command of the army to his confidants and stayed behind in his palace, taking charge of the politics and logistics he was good at.

Thanks to the previous purge of the logistics department by the bourgeoisie government, the logistics department and even the entire Tsarist government were efficient.

Though they could not compare to the newly established Soviet Russia government, they were much better than the previous Tsarist government.

"When will the aid promised by the World Alliance arrive?" Nicholas II looked at his newly promoted Minister of Logistics and asked. Stay updated with empire Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"The first batch of aid should arrive in half a month, and the latest batch of aid should not exceed three months." The Minister of Logistics quickly stood up and respectfully answered after hearing Nicholas II’s question.

After the baptism of the bourgeoisie revolution, Nicholas II’s control over the present Tsarist government had deepened a lot.

Facing this highly efficient government, Nicholas II was quite satisfied.

"How are our material reserves currently? Can they withstand the upcoming war?" Nicholas II nodded in satisfaction and continued to ask.

"The grain reserve is a big issue, but after losing some of our territories in Eastern Europe, the grain crisis has been somewhat alleviated. Our current grain reserves should last until next summer, and with the aid from the World Alliance, we should have no problem holding out until the next harvest." The Minister of Logistics continued to answer.

"How is our backup plan coming along? Are our escape routes still safe?" Immediately after, Nicholas II looked at his confidant, the head of the Saint Petersburg Tsar’s secret police, Vladislav Kuznetsov, and asked sternly.

"Your Majesty, we are constantly securing the route from Saint Petersburg to Siberia. I assure you, at any time, we can safely retreat to Siberia." Vladislav Kuznetsov also answered solemnly.

Since the last time the rebel forces easily seized Saint Petersburg and the Winter Palace, Nicholas II realized that Saint Petersburg was not so safe.

Although he was caught off guard last time, this time he had to face the more dangerous Soviet Russia, a rebel force that had already gained momentum.

In order to ensure his own safety and the safety of his family, as well as prevent the rule of the Romanov family from ending in his hands, Nicholas II devised a plan to ensure that he could escape from Saint Petersburg to the east and head to Siberia at any time.

The reason for choosing Siberia was that it was vast and had a large number of farmers, which was the foundation of the Tsar’s rule.

Secondly, further to the east was Russia’s port city of Vladivostok, which could still communicate with other countries of the World Alliance, so as not to be completely surrounded by Soviet Russia and become a trapped turtle.

It is important to know that Vladivostok is much closer to Australasia than Saint Petersburg is to Australasia.

At that time, it would be much easier to get support from Australasia, and maintaining his rule would not be difficult.

At worst, they could fight a longer war of attrition with Soviet Russia. After all, Tsarist Russia had the support of most countries, while Soviet Russia faced blockades from all nations.

Upon hearing that his escape route had no issues, Nicholas II finally breathed a sigh of relief and eliminated any concerns for his rear.
