The sun never sets

"Wait!" someone shouted, "Wait a minute!"

Hmm? Sukhokin turned around and saw the instructor coming over. "What's going on? Captain Sukhokin, what are you going to do by assembling the troops?"

Felix, who was standing behind Sukhokin, became nervous and put his hand on the holster involuntarily. Sukhokin said calmly: "I received an order to deploy defenses on Red Square outside the Kremlin."

"Oh, is that so? Where are the orders?"

"There were no written orders, just verbal commands."

The instructor frowned. "Command? At this time? Captain, I didn't receive such an order. According to regulations, the order should be given to both of us at the same time. Where is the messenger?"

Sukhokin took two steps to the side, pointed at Felix behind him, and said, "This is the messenger."

The instructor took one look at Felix and immediately realized something was wrong. Using a second lieutenant as a messenger? It's not that there weren't officers sent to deliver the message, but it must have been a very important matter. If it was an important matter, how could there be no written documents?

A notice was just issued in the military, saying that regularization should be strengthened.

Before he could figure it out, Sukhokin had already pulled out his pistol and fired several shots at the instructor. Felix's body shook a few times when the gunshots rang out, "You...why did you shoot?"

Sukhokin looked at his best friend and asked, "What else can we do if we don't shoot him? Tie him up?"

"I mean, isn't it exposing ourselves if we fire the gun?"

"Once it's exposed, it's exposed. Only when there's chaos will there be a chance!"

Seeing the captain beat the instructor to death, the assembled soldiers were immediately in an uproar. Although a lot of things had happened in the past year, and there had been countless internal fighting in the army, seeing the military commander beat the instructor to death still made the soldiers agitated.

"Silence! Listen to me!"

Captain Sukhokin fired several shots into the sky. "According to the orders of Empress Olga, we went to the Kremlin to deploy defenses. This man was a spy who prevented us from carrying out the orders of His Majesty the Tsar, so he was shot dead!"

"Do you understand?"

"understood."

"Oh, that's it!"

Sukhokin yelled, "Everyone, put on your bayonets!"

"Two columns, follow me!"

The sound of gunfire pierced the cold night sky of Moscow.

Tensions were high everywhere. The soldiers on the street pulled the bolts of their guns and looked around nervously. The citizens closed their doors tightly in fear and blocked the front door with cabinets, tables or other things. Women trembled in bed holding their children, while men picked up weapons, guns, kitchen knives, or other things, ready to fight with the intruders.

Some of them lay down, ready to let anyone do whatever they wanted if they broke in.

When there is no way to resist, all you can do is lie down.

Captain Sukhokin led his troops towards the Kremlin. Some people ran away on the way, and not everyone could be fooled. But he didn't care. Past experience told him that as long as someone took action, other places would also be in chaos.

Once the fire is lit, the rest will be easy.

They were not far from the Kremlin. After jogging on the ice and snow for less than a quarter of an hour, the soldiers saw the Kremlin covered with ice and snow, and the steel chariots standing ready on the Red Square.

Chapter 657: The Masses

Sukhokin and Felix had already seen the Kremlin and the tanks roaring on Red Square, but before they could get close to the Kremlin, they were stopped by soldiers on the street.

"stop!"

There was the clanking sound of a rifle bolt being pulled, and the officer shouted, "Which unit are you from?"

Felix became more and more nervous, his mouth was dry, and he turned to look at Sukhokin, "What should I do?"

Sukhokin gestured with his hand behind him, then took two steps forward and said loudly: "We are ordered to assist in the defense of the Kremlin!"

"Really? How do I...fire! They are the enemy!"

"Snapped!"

"Bang!" "Bang!"

"Da da da da da!"

Sukhokin stepped forward to speak, drew his gun and started shooting, but the officer on the opposite side was very experienced in combat, and when he saw his shoulder move slightly he knew something was wrong, and reacted the moment Sukhokin drew his gun and gave the order to fire.

Fighting broke out in the streets near Red Square, bullets whizzed through the air, looking for the next victim. Sukhokin threw Felix to the ground and avoided being shot, but the soldiers behind him failed to completely avoid it. In just a dozen seconds of practice, many people were shot and fell to the ground.

Then, the Maxim machine guns joined in the shooting. The flames swept back and forth across the street, making it impossible for Sukhotkin's men to raise their heads.

"Grenade!"

Captain Sukhotin let go of his best friend and hid behind the house to throw grenades. Grenades are good weapons and have a certain effect. It seems that a machine gun has misfired. But Sukhotin was not happy at all. In the few minutes of the exchange of fire, half of the people he brought with him were gone.

Not all of them were killed or injured. More people took advantage of the chaos to leave the team and disappeared into the darkness with their weapons.

"asshole!"

Sukhokin cursed a few times, and then heard a "rumbling" sound coming from the street, and immediately felt something was wrong. He quickly looked over and saw that it was the tanks parked on Red Square coming over.

The tank company did not shut down after arriving at Red Square. If something happened, they could start moving immediately. Although this would consume precious diesel, for the army, consumption is consumption. The army is supposed to consume all kinds of supplies.

"Felix, we're retreating!"

"What? We're already here, how can we evacuate now?"

"They brought the tanks over. I didn't expect that."

Sukhokin looked around and saw that there was only less than a platoon of soldiers left around him. "Let's go! It will be too late if we don't leave now!"

Felix also heard the sound of the tank engine and the sound of the tracks rolling over the snow. No matter how unwilling he was, he had no choice but to run away with Sukhokin.

"boom!"

The right-angled wall suddenly exploded, debris shot out in all directions, and the sound waves shattered the glass on the nearby windows.

The window frame shook twice, and a few snowflakes fell. Lin Yongchang stood by the window, watching the battle on the street in the distance. His vision was beyond the scope of humans, and he could see the fierce battle on the snow in the distance clearly.

A plump and soft body hugged him from behind, and Olga asked worriedly, "Will the war reach the Kremlin?"

"No. I have already sent troops here, don't worry."

"Da da da da da!"

The sound of machine gun fire came from far away, not very crisp, nor very loud, but rather dull. The explosions also seemed so unreal, as if the bloodshed was happening in another world.

But this was just Lin Yongchang's idea. Olga was a little scared. When the explosion sounded, her body shook violently and her heartbeat quickened.

"Did we do something wrong? Why would someone start a rebellion?"

“It has nothing to do with right or wrong.”

Lin Yongchang held the Queen's hand and said, "In this era, no matter which camp you choose, no matter what position you take, there will always be bloodshed."

"Can't we reconcile?"

"No."

Olga stopped talking and just leaned her head against him. Lin Yongchang took her hand and asked her to watch the situation outside the Kremlin with him. After a brief exchange of fire on the streets near Red Square, Moss

Gunfire was also heard in other parts of the city.

"Watch carefully, this kind of scene is not common."

"Louis XVI must have seen similar situations, Charles I saw it, and now it's our turn to watch."

Charles I was the King of England and Louis XVI was the King of France. That was a long time ago. The common point is that they were both sent to the guillotine by their own people.

Olga I knew about the history of Europe. Her heart beat faster. "Don't scare me!"

"I'm not trying to scare you. If we don't do a good job, we might get beheaded someday. Our heads will be hung on the city wall, next to the little heads of Alexander and his sister."

Olga couldn't help but turn her head and said in a pleading tone: "You won't let that happen, right?"

"Well, I won't let that happen. So, I'll just have to kill thousands of people, including some Romanovs."

"Do we have to do this? Do we have to kill people?"

"Must kill."

"If that's the case," Olga bit her lip and said, "then kill them all. Don't leave any of them alive."

Lin Yongchang tightened his grip and said, "I want to wipe them out completely, but it is difficult, almost impossible. Because they are right next to us."

The riots in the city came and went quickly, without causing much impact. Without coordination and prior preparation, sporadic exchanges of fire could not affect the situation.

Sukhokin thought that the situation would develop like in February and October last year, from a spark to a prairie fire. But he was wrong. The People's Party's control over Moscow far exceeded that of Nicholas II's government and the Provisional Government.

The riot in the city was quickly quelled, and the gendarmes with wolfhounds searched for suspicious elements everywhere in the dark.

Sukhokin and Fix stumbled forward in the darkness. The soldiers following them changed from a platoon to a squad, and then the remaining squad disappeared.

Maybe he got lost in the darkness, or maybe he left on purpose, who knows.

Su Huojin stopped and gasped for a few seconds, "Damn, the road here is also blocked."

Felix said desperately: "There is no way for us to escape!"

"No, we still have a chance!"

"Where are the opportunities? There are soldiers and police everywhere. We have nowhere to go."

Sukhokin took off his uniform and threw away his weapon. "Quick, take off your uniform, quick, we are just citizens who don't know the truth, we don't know anything else."

Chapter 658: Great Search

Sukhokin and Felix took off their uniforms and threw away their weapons, trying to pretend that they were ordinary people who did not know the truth. However, before they could run back to Felix's properties in Moscow, they found that the roads were full of patrolling soldiers.

Felix pressed his back against the cold wall and said nervously, "The roads are blocked, we can't go back!"

"The city defense troops have dogs. We can't hide here."

Su Huojin remained calm, "Follow me!"

He led Felix around the alley a few times, then knocked on a family's door, "Open the door, Chernenko!"

"who?"

A vigilant voice sounded behind the door, "Warning, I have a gun!"

"it's me!"

"I don't know you! Get out of here!"

"Asshole, I'm Su Huojin, open the door!"

"Ah, Captain Sukhokin, why are you here at this hour?"

Sukhokin lowered his voice and said hurriedly: "This is a long story. Open the door quickly and let us in."

"Creaky," the door opened, and a man with a fur hat and a full beard poked his head out and quickly looked at both sides of the street. His eyes fell on the long trail of footprints on the ground, and he paused for a moment, then said, "Come in!"

Sukhokin and Felix entered the room, and a muffled sound behind them separated them from the wind and snow. Chernenko put away the old rifle, lit a candle, and then sat on a chair and complained: "Captain, the city is so chaotic, why are you still running around?"

"I don't want to run around, but there's nothing I can do. If I don't run, I'll get shot."

"What's going on... Just now there were gunshots and fireworks outside, could it be you guys who did it?"

Chernenko's eyes fell on Felix. "This guy is delicate and doesn't look like someone who could do such a thing. It must be you, Captain Sukhokin, who did it!"

Felix's face flushed immediately, and he stared at Chernenko with an indignant look. The latter grinned and said, "Why, are you a rebel too?"

"What treason? We are saving Russia!"

Felix's face turned pale, his eyes widened, and his fists clenched. "We are saving Russia!"

Chernenko sneered, "All the rebels said they wanted to save Russia, but they never really did it. No matter how nice they said it, they still plundered everywhere after they came to power. Captain Sukhokin, you guys stay here first. I'll buy anything you need tomorrow morning. By the way, do you have money with you?"

Felix stared at Chernenko and was about to say something, but was stopped by Sukhokin. The captain took out two ten-yuan RMB notes from his pocket and said, "Is there anything to eat now?

? ”

"There are two cans and some bread," Chernenko glanced at Felix, "do you want some?"

"Bring it here, bring it all. If you have any wine, bring it here too!"

"hey-hey!"

Chernenko chuckled twice and said, "Wait."

After a while, Chernenko brought the bread and a can, pried it open with a knife, poured it into an iron pot, put it on the stove and boiled it for a while, then brought it to the table. He also brought half a bottle of wine, Erguotou, which was very strong and no worse than vodka.
