Chapter 131 The Longzhong Strategy, The Duke's Rhapsody
Dmitry was full of ambitious fantasies.
Anna restored the monarchy and ascended the throne as Empress.
With the support of Wall Street financial groups, Silicon Valley tech giants, and traditional oil tycoons, one can acquire a piece of land, build a modern town, and quietly recruit soldiers and horses, thus becoming a powerful aristocrat.
Hahahaha~
With the pandemic raging, the Russian economy is facing increasing difficulties, and there may be huge changes in the future.
We must ally with the Europeans to the west, appease the Indians to the south, forge an alliance with the United States, improve our governance, form a cabinet, make preparations early, actively garner support from all sides, accumulate wealth, cultivate talent, conduct effective propaganda, and prepare for the opportune moment.
They are just waiting for changes to occur within Russia.
Then the troops were sent to Eastern Europe.
First capture Königsberg (Karingrad/Russian exclave), then land in St. Petersburg, with your forces poised to strike the capital!
What common people would dare not offer food and drink?
Is it to welcome Tsarina Anna the Great?
If this is the case, then hegemony can be achieved!
The royal family can prosper!
Dmitry launched into a debate on the spot, or rather, a farm debate, offering advice and suggestions to Anna.
[Recruitment Strategies]
[Publicity Strategy]
[Diplomatic Strategies]
[Strategies for National Prosperity]
...
The meticulousness of the plan is truly admirable!
Their breadth of vision is truly awe-inspiring!
Anna was completely terrified.
Jiang Feng's lips twitched slightly.
Seriously? Sir, we were just joking, you actually want to restore the monarchy?! Do you have to be so serious?
As expected, Florida doesn't tolerate idlers!
(￣?￣)
Dmitry agreed to pass the leadership to Anna, and he did not refuse the million-dollar reward offered by Jiang Feng.
Perfect for bribing the royal family!
They agreed to hold the succession ceremony three days later.
Mr. Dmitry immediately took his leave.
After leaving the farm, he immediately contacted his fellow royals, inviting them to the abdication ceremony and to discuss the restoration of the monarchy.
The vast majority of people are very supportive!
why?
Anna has the backing of Wall Street conglomerates, Silicon Valley tech companies, and energy giants. This is a legitimate restoration; they also want to take over, but they lack support.
╮(╯_╰)╭
Normally, the struggle for the title of heir is for personal gain, and now supporting Anna is also for personal gain.
They can profit from Anna's restoration.
The title of "noble" has become even more valuable!
An elusive and intangible identity.
It's possible that it might actually come true!
Moreover, the vast majority of them did not have titles, and Dmitri promised that after Anna the Great's successful restoration, he would reward them with titles based on their contributions.
Piaget
子爵
Baron
If the merit is great enough, one may even be granted the title of Duke, and be rewarded with land, money, privileges, and official positions!
This is not a fictitious official position, but a real one; even if the territory is small, it is still at the town level.
Moreover, it has the support of capital.
They must be very wealthy!
Even if you just become an official, your future will be limitless.
Awesome!
These survivors of the Romanov family had ambitions running rampant in their blood, brimming with drive!
High morale
Ambitious
However, some people objected, such as Maria, the daughter of the former Duke of Holstein-Gotop (who was also the daughter of Dmitri's father's cousin).
Aunt Maria did not inherit the title, but she called herself Grand Duchess and heir to the Russian imperial family.
Of course, none of their own kind recognized them!
She strongly opposed Anna becoming empress.
He threw a tantrum, demanding that Dmitry contact the financial groups, capital, and corporations behind Anna to support him.
Make her the Tsar!
Because he was the rightful heir, while Anna was a commoner with no title, so how could she become empress?
Other compatriots assumed she was ill!
They kicked her out of the Royal League.
She was not scheduled to participate in the succession ceremony.
Anyone with a modicum of intelligence, or rather, anyone who isn't stupid, knows that the only way to benefit is to support Anna.
Why should capitalist forces support you?
You think you can just weigh 250 pounds?
Because you're old?
Why did Anna gain that boss's support? It's because she's beautiful! Rumor has it that her relationship with that mysterious, incredibly wealthy young tycoon is far from simple!
They had absolutely no aversion to it.
That's just how the royal family is~
Back in the day, Catherine the Great's private life wasn't exactly clean; in fact, it could be described as quite chaotic.
But does it matter?
Not important at all!
That's just how royalty is. They're driven by profit, or even just by pleasure. You know what I mean about those empresses.
(→_→)
Therefore, these people didn't care at all. As long as Anna could successfully restore the monarchy, what did it matter if she was a lover?
It doesn't affect her future greatness at all!
It's a minor issue.
(￣へ￣)
Jiang Feng and the others also made serious arrangements and preparations for the succession ceremony, but they were just bored and had nothing to do lately.
Just looking for fun~
On the surface, Jiang Feng was preparing for Anna's restoration, but secretly he ordered Huang Weiming to send someone to Russia!
They must be absolutely reliable individuals with clean backgrounds and no criminal records, traveling to the southern end of Lake Baikal in Siberia under the guise of a self-driving tour.
It's called tourism, but it's actually a treasure hunt!
Responsible for detecting the location of gold.
The list of the treasure-hunting team sent to Russia was personally reviewed by Jiang Feng (actually the system), and there were no problems!
However, for safety reasons and to avoid any unforeseen accidents, Jiang Feng also asked Situ Wan'er to send a few people to Russia, with the same request, under the guise of [investment inspection].
The two sides do not make contact.
They don't even know what the other party wants to do!
It's just a safety net.
If anyone on the treasure hunting team tries to leak information or has any ulterior motives, they will be immediately thrown into the swamp.
Jiang Feng ordered the newly purchased second-hand 10,000-ton cargo ship (which had not yet been registered with the treasure-hunting company) to sail to Russia ahead of schedule.
Halfway
Sadako Kobayashi sent someone to load a batch of new metal detectors sent by the United States onto this cargo ship.
The cargo ship was passing through Russia when it smuggled goods ashore!
Each step.
They do not come into contact with each other.
Highly secretive.
And the timing was perfect—
The ship arrived in the Sea of Japan, and the detector was delivered.
A self-driving (treasure hunt) group entered the Russian coast, and the ship happened to be sailing into Russia, where they smuggled goods ashore.
They obtained the equipment and headed to Lake Baikal, where the elite team from the Hongmen had already quietly arrived ahead of time.
These metal detectors are very advanced; they are not ordinary disc-shaped probes (like those used in mine sweepers).
One type is a long probe, like a steel pipe, that can be plunged into a swamp, about two meters long!
Built-in battery
wireless transmission
The treasure hunting team disguised these detectors as flagpoles and planted flags. What's there to suspect?
(→_→)
Another type of detector is embedded directly under the car, disguised as a crash protection plate, but it is actually a high-powered detector.
Explore every place you go!
In the name of [Challenge the Swamp].
Large-scale exploration of frozen swamps.
For safety reasons, Jiang Feng did not plan to search for the treasure himself. He would wait until he found the gold before leading a group to dig it up.
quickly
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and hundreds of members of the Romanov family came from all over the world.
Dmitry arranged all the airfare.
There are hundreds of surviving descendants of the Tsarist Russian royal family in countries such as Britain, France, Russia, the United States, Switzerland, Denmark, and the Netherlands.
Some people couldn't get plane tickets.
Or the procedures haven't been completed.
there is no time.
COVID-19 lockdown.
Unable to attend in person, I can only watch remotely!
Buffett, Musk, and Ryan invited many friends from the industry to attend the succession ceremony.
For example, there are acquaintances such as American Express Vice President Allen Gallo and Old Parker, many of whom are top celebrities.
Stand with Anna!
State your position —
I believe Anna was a duke in the Russian royal family!
