The endless sea of ​​people was surging, and bright red flags swayed in the wind. Young and old people rushed into the Irish palace with hammers and sickles, demolished all the buildings, leaving only broken bricks and tiles. Looking around, there were only a few entourages with depressed faces beside them, and the queen was missing. Could it be that she was arrested for trial by the people?

I was shocked and woke up immediately. It turned out to be just a nightmare. This snowy night seemed particularly peaceful, as if I was in a space isolated from the world, and Charlotte's slight breathing was clearly audible.

My neck was itchy, and I stretched out my hand and it was covered in cold sweat.

Xia Shu didn't think that having such a nightmare is a bad omen. The development of human society has always been accompanied by the progress and changes of ideology. Regardless of the future, in the 20th century of the old time and space, socialism and capitalist systems coexisted in parallel. None of them showed absolute advantages, but each had its own characteristics and had their own advantages and disadvantages. Instead of worrying anxiously that the Irish people were influenced by the trend of revolution in the proletariat to overthrow the current regime, it would be better to spend more time developing the economy, improving social security, and improving the law, which are closely related to ordinary people, and improving the satisfaction and happiness of the people. As long as they can live and work in peace and contentment, how many people will risk their families to die and pursue the so-called revolutionary ideals? How many people will respond under the call of the revolution?

His mood was at ease, but after being awakened by the dream, Xia Shu couldn't fall asleep for a long time. He didn't want to disturb Charlotte, who was sleeping, so he lay quietly on his back. After that, Charlotte turned over and drilled into Xia Shu's arms. The warm and soft touch made him feel a little happy. He took a step back and said that as long as he could stay with his sweetheart, no matter how storm or thunder and lightning were thunder and lightning, it was not a problem!

As the consciousness gradually blurred, a roar came faintly in his ears, as if it was a rolling thunder in the sky, or an illusion of auditory senses. Xia Shu couldn't help but shudder and fully awakened. It was the end of 1918. In the history of the old time and space, the Bolsheviks had already seized the Russian regime, and showed amazing vitality in the harsh environment where the great powers blocked and interfered, and the White Army was waiting for an opportunity to counterattack. The Russia I saw at this time was still flying the Tsarist flag. Is it because history had changed directionally, or just the time and order of the events?

Before hearing the turbulent situation in Russia, Xia Shu had a strong premonition in her heart that the era of the Soviet Union is coming after all, and the bipolar pattern of competition between the allies and the United States and Britain will also become a more complex three-level pattern with the strong rise of the Soviet Union...

Apart from the faint sound, the surroundings were still quiet, and time passed by minute by minute. I don’t know how long it took, some indistinguishable noises came to my ears, from less to more, from less to dense, and then gradually I could hear people talking, someone running, and the sound of motorcycles and cars passing by.

The sleeping Kronstad awakened in a very unpleasant way.

Charlotte, leaning in Xia Shu's arms, was finally awakened by the sound outside. She asked in a daze: "Is something happened?"

Xia Shu gently stroked her hair and kissed her cheek: "Maybe there was a special situation in St. Petersburg and it had nothing to do with us, so don't worry."

Charlotte moved gently, pressed his entire back against Natsu, and then said nothing. Just when Natsu thought she had fallen asleep again, she suddenly said softly: "Joheng, we will leave here after dawn and leave Russia, right?"

"Yes, only extreme bad weather may change our itinerary." Natsuki replied softly.

Charlotte obviously no longer has any sleepiness. She continued to maintain this tempting posture that was originally unprovocative but now without any provocation, and whispered: "Among the people I know, few of them like Russia. They say that most Russians are rude, especially after drinking, they are simply barbarians living in civilized eras. Recently, I read in newspapers that the Russian workers' strikes were very terrifying, and the Russian royal family and government were helpless. Will this happen in Ireland one day?"

Natsuki did not explain the inner nature of the workers' movement from a philosophical and ideological perspective, nor did he have the ability to thoroughly analyze it, so he chose a simple way to tell his queen that in his lifetime, he would never let such a situation appear in Ireland.

"Ireland will become a paradise that people yearn for." Xia Shu promised confidently.

Xia Shu did not question or refute, but listened quietly with Xia Shu to various sounds coming from outside. After about an hour, light footsteps suddenly came from the corridor, from far to near, and finally stopped outside the door.

The knock on the door completely broke the quiet atmosphere of the snowy night.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, it's me, Robin Holland, there is an emergency to report to you." The voice of an accompanying official came from outside the door, which sounded a little anxious, but there was no panic tremolo.

Xia Shu told Charlotte not to panic, she pulled herself out of the bed, went out of the bedroom in her nightgown, and walked through the living room of the suite to open the door.

Standing at the door, in addition to the Irish diplomat who came to inform the situation, there were two vigilant personal guards. Xia Shu let them into the suite, and the diplomat quickly lowered his voice and reported: "The Russian Prime Minister's deputy just came to inform that there was a workers' riot in St. Petersburg, the army was controlling the situation, and Kronstadt had martial law. For the sake of the safety of His Majesty and His Highness, we advised us not to leave our residence before dawn. If His Majesty really thinks it is safer to return to the 'Ku-Churin', we need to wait for him to contact the garrison and confirm the time route, and then set off to the dock."

After listening to the diplomat's speech at a rapid speed, Natsuki asked, "That's all?"

Being calm in the face of changes is the basic quality that diplomats should possess. The person in front of him answered with certainty: "Well, that's all."

Xia Shu nodded and made a decision after a few seconds: "Let's wait for dawn to leave. Everyone is vigilant, but don't leave the house without authorization. In addition, inform the personnel who stayed at the Ku-Quilin to send more posts and be careful."

The diplomatic official of a low-level level completely followed Xia Shu's instructions, and the two personal guards were arranged by Xia Shu to wait outside the door. When encountering this emergency, no one would have the heart to continue sleeping, but Xia Shu still calmly returned to the bed and waited for it to change in the most comfortable, labor-saving and temperature-saving way. More than half an hour later, footsteps sounded again in the corridor, heavy, rapid but not messy. Xia Shu got up early and put on a coat outside the nightgown. Then he heard someone outside the door say in a difficult-to-mouth German: "His Majesty the King of Ireland, sorry to disturb me. I am Vlamicil Zagoyev, entrusted by His Majesty the Russian Emperor."

As soon as he finished speaking, Natsuki opened the door for the Russian Foreign Minister.

There were electric lights in the corridor before, but now only the candles in people's hands remain. In addition to his personal bodyguard and the Russian official, Xia Shu also vaguely saw a middle-aged man wearing Russian uniform with a majestic look on his face, but no fierce and resentful spirit.

Seeing that Xia Shu opened the door so quickly, but did not change her nightgown, a hint of surprise flashed across the Russian Foreign Minister's face.

Xia Shu took the candle from a close guard, then led Zagoyev into the living room of the suite, placed the candle on the coffee table between the sofas, and signaled the other party to sit down and talk.

After sitting down, the Russian Foreign Minister did not immediately get to the point, but instead praised: "Your Majesty's steadfastness is really admirable as rumored outside!"

Character, thinking and experience determine a person's style and demeanor. Which generals who have climbed through the pile of dead people is not as steady as a mountain or as calm as iron?

Seeing that the other party looked at him expressionlessly, Zagoyev did not dare to talk more: "Because of a change in our capital, His Majesty the Emperor has set off with the Chairman of the Imperial Ministers and others to return. The situation is in a hurry and His Majesty failed to say goodbye to you in person, so he specially asked me to come and convey his apology."

"The king should put national affairs first, and I deeply understand it." Xia Shu replied very appropriately.

After some polite thanks, Zagoyev continued: "Because of fear that the separatists lurking in the fleet would take advantage of the chaos to provoke trouble, Your Majesty has ordered the blockade of the Kronstadt military port. No ships except the cruiser His Majesty is allowed to leave. However, in order to prevent accidents, Your Majesty recommends that you wait until dawn before boarding the ship. At that time, our Navy will assign special personnel to guide your cruiser out of Kronstadt."

In this regard, Xia Shu only used a positive word to express his attitude, and then tentatively asked about the situation in St. Petersburg.

The Russian Foreign Minister hesitated for a moment and replied cautiously: "It is said that the cause of the incident was that we arrested several separatists yesterday, and they instigated workers who participated in the strike to attack the arsenal, trying to seize weapons, and then conquered the prison and rescued the separatists who were imprisoned in it."

Zagoyev said "segmentism" at once, which was not appropriate to characterize the current situation in Russia. It was purely a copy of his original copy of the crisis in Ireland. However, the situations he mentioned were surprisingly similar to the revolutionary process described in historical textbooks, which made Nakashu further affirm his premonition: the surging Russian revolution has begun, and the collapse of the Tsarist regime is only a matter of time. In addition to memories, the Romanov dynasty left to future generations has more or less material heritage, such as the royal palaces with a large number of treasures and antiques in St. Petersburg, the naval power that returned to the top six ranks of the world, and the gold that was not much left in the treasury but still amazingly valuable...
