Chapter 1528: Chapter 48: Russia’s Plans for a Ceasefire (Part 2)

"Your Majesty Aleksey, the temporary government has been established in East Africa, yet back then he was too young, and the various princes wouldn’t listen to him. If we had the leadership of the Tsar, we wouldn’t be sweeping the streets now."

"You must remember, those clowns forced His Majesty Nicholas II to abdicate, yet they couldn’t deal with the Labor Party themselves. Poor His Majesty Nicholas II, now there’s not even a trace of his remains."

Originally, Hayevich was not a Royalist Party member of Russia. After all, as someone from a small bourgeois family background, in theory, he should stand with the Russian bourgeois temporary government of the time.

Unfortunately, the performance of the Russian temporary government back then was truly embarrassing. This regime, which lasted just a few months, took some of the blame for Nicholas II.

But they definitely couldn’t shake off this blame, as they exerted great effort in pushing for Nicholas II’s abdication. So in Hayevich’s view, the takeover by the Russian Labor Party was entirely due to the so-called democrats, which are the bourgeois in the Labor Party’s eyes.

Although Mikhail and Hayevich didn’t get along previously, he agreed with this thought.

"I support Hayevich on this point. Those bourgeois organizations could achieve nothing significant. Relying on those parasites to overthrow the tyranny of the Labor Party is clearly impossible."

"These guys, every single one of them, are more greedy than the aristocrats. At least the nobility has a sense of honor; they only care about making money, and in the end, the Labor Party benefited entirely."

"Moreover, without these traitors, the Empire wouldn’t have suffered such disastrous military losses. Ukraine, Poland, and other vast territories have completely gone to Germany and Austria-Hungary."

Although, speaking objectively, the Labor Party government sold regions like Poland to the Allies, Mikhail and others believed that the temporary government of the bourgeois that led to the Labor Party’s rise was even more reprehensible. Had they not backstabbed the ’great’ His Majesty Nicholas II, how could it have led to the military collapse on the Russian front and the Labor Party’s ascension?

Indeed, "death cancels all debts." After Nicholas II’s death, he has, to a certain extent, turned into a "tragic hero," at least for some of the anti-Labor Party factions.

Even in the international community, even William II, who despised Nicholas II, shed tears over his demise and expressed sympathy for his cousin.

Stanislavsky: "Speaking of Ukraine and Poland, lately the Labor Party seems to be losing at the front line, which should be good news for us."

"Although the Russian Labor Party tries hard to cover up their failures at the front, compared with the wall-to-wall coverage of war victories in the newspapers a few months ago, the Russian newspapers lately appear quite abnormal."

After all, the Russian Labor Party couldn’t concoct something from nothing. Even though the mainstream Russian newspapers continue to propagate Russia’s various advantages at the front, the reactionary elements clearly smell something different.

Mikhail said, "I’ve noticed this too. Based on the Labor Party’s boastful style, if they truly made any progress, they’d certainly not be reporting with such bland content as they are now."

"However, if the Russian Labor Party does indeed fail on the front line, it would be deeply satisfying. Even if the ultimate result is Germans reaching Moscow, that’s still preferable to the Labor Party controlling Russia."

Compared to Mikhail and Stanislavsky, Hayevich was more extreme.

He said, "I’d rather have Germans rule than see this bunch of plebeians from the Labor Party rule Russia. Of course, the best outcome would be Germany and the Labor Party both being painfully defeated, and then the Empire returning to its former state, with His Majesty Aleksey returning from that desolate East African place to take charge."

From Hayevich’s words, it is evident how bad an influence Crown Prince Aleksey, the former "escapee" living in exile, has on the Russian Labor Party today, and even worse is Aleksey organizing a reactionary exile government in East Africa.

In this way, those dissatisfied with the Labor Party regime inside Russia seem to find their "spiritual leader." Of course, there are people uninterested in welcoming the Tsar back, mainly those "democratic" elements who still hope to establish a parliamentary state like those in the West.

But the Tsar has a more representative influence on Russia; the history of Russia is inseparable from the Tsar’s impact. In Russia, the reactionary forces supporting the Tsar are more numerous.

However, whether democrats or royalists, in the face of the Russian Labor Party, they are powerless to reverse anything. The fantasies of Hayevich and the others can only exist in words.

In fact, they themselves lack the courage to resist the Russian Labor Party. In this situation, hoping for the new Tsar Aleksey to return from his overseas exile and defeat Germany is far less viable than considering the Germans at the gates of Moscow.

"Hayevich, Mikhail, Stanislavsky, what are you three doing? Dawdling, haven’t you seen everyone else working so actively? Don’t think about slacking off; I’ll be watching you!"

While Hayevich and the other two were idly imagining at the end of the group, a Moscow lady shouted at them.

Helplessly, the three could only continue to pretend to wave their shovels, as if they were actively working.

Meanwhile, within the Kremlin, Jose was also having headaches over the war issues.
