yes yes of course

mussels were informed first now utterly

age we didn't think it was suitable all

our agents are instructed to report to

us first before proceeding any further

now that will be quite an order this

authorizes me to collect all the

intelligence reports which might throw

some light upon the assassination of the

Grand Duke Sergei I understand that some

of these are in the possession of this

office of the secret police

that is the signature of mr. laputan I'm

sorry sir but I still have to clear this

direct with the palace mr. La Push in

his head of the police force since the

murder of the Grand Duke sir that is a

matter of conjecture

hello who is it

rats Kowski some time to track you down

you know out safe you're very difficult

fellow to get a hold of observe that

food put through my boundary i'll just

splendid chap your

sakowski i see you've read the news the

grand duke passed away i understand they

had to retrieve certain organs from the

chimney tops my very favourite dish

because of this lipu Chin's head he's on

the block he had it coming done

who the Grand Duke or the Chief of

Police both of them is there any

speculation about who replaces repulsion

there is who's in the running me you

have been summoned scraping the bottom

of the barrel on

were you responsible for the murder of

the Grand Duke me I just got back from

Paris I live in a Moscow in my life what

about the murder of Labor that was no

great loss I'm gonna give you a lecture

my dear fellow

the fact is you cannot go around any

more blowing up members of the imperial

government at least not without the odd

eyebrow being raised we're coming out of

the Dark Ages civilization is nearly

upon us you won't get the job you have

too many enemies if I do you're going to

have to make up your mind just whose

side you're on

in January 1905 hundreds of the Tsar's

loyal subjects had been shot down in

front of his palaces and Petersburg the

massacre of Bloody Sunday as the tragedy

was called shocked the civilized world

and led to a national outcry for reform

the Tsar Nicholas the second was about

to accede to this when three weeks later

his uncle the Grand Duke Sergei was

assassinated in Moscow at this point he

began to change his mind

the job dismissed his police chief

laputan and on the advice of his closest

generals summoned to his court at

Tsarskoe Selo a man called wretch coughs

key the former minister Vita out of

favor because of his opposition to the

Japanese war was quick to hear of the

visit and anxious to voice his

apprehension the post for which wretch

coughs ki was being considered was in

normal times a minor one but the man who

occupied it in this period of

confrontation had it in his power to

direct the policies of the regime either

towards reform or towards repression it

was this that Vita feared it was Fred

Karski who exposed the anarchists in

Paris

it was Rhett coughs Kevin who discovered

the plot to blow up Liege Cathedral and

do you know why because ret cos his old

men planted the bombs there in the first

place

and later when he was removed on your

orders his creatures on earth took over

they have no love for him I assure you

nevertheless they carry on his

techniques they have saturated the

revolutionary movement with their own

men and when a bomb goes off one does

not know whether it is the work of a

seventh or some enthusiastic policeman

seeking promotion are you suggesting

that fun flavor my Minister of the

Interior was killed by one of his own

men I have heard the rumors to that

effect and are you suggesting that my

uncle the Grand Duke Serge was killed by

a man in the pay of my own secret police

it is two years since you saw fit to

resign from my cabinet I have brought

you here merely to sound out the

possibility of peace with Japan within

minutes you are lecturing me on matters

which do not concern you

in Vitter's view rat cove ski was the

candidate of the right and not only that

he was the most dangerous exponent of

counter terrorist tactics ever to emerge

from the labyrinths of the russian and

secret police named Theodore a

profession retired

would I have got this far without one

the commander of the palace guard was

general hissa an aristocrat with

definite views on the political

situation it was he and his colleague

general trip off who had arranged for a

Tchaikovsky is interview as you may read

scoffs created the country's headed for

revolution we have another which cannot

be trusted police force which hesitates

to use force we have the palace guard

after a hard life and to the Czar will

not give us one yes general

then we may have to take things into our

own hands I mean it may be necessary to

remove the Tsar

I put the Grand Duke Nikolai

Nikolayevich in this place you see that

is why we need men in power whom we can

trust stretch Koski like yourself

always at your command my dear general

yeah

mr. Theodore Rex coughs King mr.

Theodore Rex

coughs

but I am quite convinced these chips do

not exist and I am quite convinced they

do Willie why don't you go to Paris and

verify the details does seem to me a bit

odd that you're willing to buy four

battleships sight unseen from a South

American Republic mr. Theodore

atrocities if you want to crush the

jacks we shall need these ships sir

these ships do not exist except in the

imagination of the man who's trying to

sell them

we have no ships the Pacific squadron

has been destroyed

the Black Sea squadron is buffered up

and the Baltics module if you never gets

anchor cuts off if you'll feel so

skeptical why don't you send someone

from the Treasury to Paris along with

the Admiral here I certainly shall uh

very well but I would just like to

advise Minister Kirk on Sofia that his

negative attitude may setback our

victory in the Pacific by at least a

year that will be all

your majesty

sit down mister let's go skin

I have been considering the appointment

of a new head of security in the San

Petersburg area and your name has been

brought to my notice it is not of course

unfamiliar to me

I thought the post was must a Blee

filled by mr. Putin mr. de Putin has

tendered his resignation as chief of

security or is responsible for the

safety of the Grand Duke my uncle's

death is a great shock to me you were

never close but that does not diminish

my grief

now I must first ask you if you are

offered the post are you in a position

to accept it in whatever capacity your

Majesty so desires they serve I will

serve the reports that I have received

of my uncle's death place the

responsibility on the battle

organization of the social revolution

risen this is led by a man called

Anthony that is so there is a rumor

instant Petersburg that ad Seth isn't a

pair for secret police such as the

political climate of today that room is

likely easily gained way to momentum

they contribute to the forces around a

key they destroy the very fabric of

society to be true but my uncle's

murderer is in the pay of my own

Intelligence Service

so I have been out of the force for some

time what I want to know is did you at

any time in the past recruit access for

any of his accomplices so you are

talking about the murderers of your

uncle

mr. bitter my esteemed minister has

characterized your contribution to the

Secret Service as follows the pioneer of

provocation tactics if the French

invented the term as wrong provocateur

it is rakshasas who refined it mr.

Vitter is no friend of mine and I'm

reluctant to accept such a compliment

even from him he points out with you

where I dismissed from your position as

head of the Foreign Service five years

ago on the basis of this report it was

signed I believe by mr. laputan if I

remember correctly in whom through

bitter experience I now have no

competence however it was proved that

you used opposition as head of K section

to obtain information which led you to

making several fortunes on the stock

exchange

sir since I left your service I've made

several more is that also to be held

against me your efficiency in that

direction the subject of scandal does

not concern me that is however one

aspect of the report which does the

Philippe affair as head of K section you

made secret inquires concerning a

relationship of my wife and a certain

holy man father Philippe this was done

without my knowledge

you majesty the matter was becoming a

subject of scandal your Inquirer's did

not make it anything less so my wife is

a deeply religious woman a dossier on

every person who attaches themselves to

her Court was hardly likely to please

her I would like to remind you I'm sure

mr. Gorsky your first consideration was

for myself but you fail to realize that

I and the procurator of the Holy Synod

were already dissuading her from her

spiritual infatuation with Philippe when

your report came in father Philippe was

a charlatan father Philippe prayed to

God to give her a son God gave her a son

your majesty the petite barrage is at

one o'clock I must respectfully point

out to your highness that etiquette

demands that you wear a naval uniform

for this occasion you may attend mid

later mr. Raj Ghat scheme

what do you think new acquisitions in

jorday here it is a present from the

Kaiser I think if you don't get the

message it represents our Imperial

Majesty beating back the Yellow Peril

single-handed how do you like it it's a

trifle unsubtle unlike you a Tchaikovsky

tell me mr. bata do you think there'll

be peace this year if that is not we

shall have a revolution his Imperial

Majesty Tsar of all the Russia's Arjun

I see little here return the COTS off

dear friend well trip off Hisle

Petersburg safe enough now if your

majesty to return not only that I

guarantee you enjoy us welcome the

people miss their little father tell me

trip off have you managed to fight wash

this shabby episode it and their

ringleader the saintly father Kapaun

where is he led the country I think he

realized is that he bears a

responsibility for what happened that

day I bear the responsibility for 500 of

my people are dead

chopped down in front of my palace the

responsibility blame is gap Holmes he

led the March without permission

nevertheless one cannot but regard the

episode it just closed the incident sir

the city is back to normal I'm sorry if

you've been there in the first place

trip off the incident never if that

damned fool the Putin had done his job

the Putin is being replaced by whom I

have not as yet made up my mind but mr.

let's go ski has indicated his

willingness to serve you know my opinion

I think that is a very bad idea such an

appointment will be seen as a move to

the right at a time when I understood

your Majesty to be conceding overdue

reforms on individual deputies I have

conceded the reform and at the same time

staffing your security forces with

hardliners there's a contradiction there

somewhere the country is too unstable

for reform however given two or three

years of firm government things may be

different you mean a police state

because that is what is implied when you

introduce men like your friend even the

palace will not be safe from inquiries

that's it isn't it fetch Koski when it

comes to meddling in other people's

affairs nothing is sacred

if you say so mr. Vita you're the expert

quickly gentlemen not by your lift ease

forward two pitches down toilets on the

right shortage on the left sir

but I wanted the other way round top

whether the citations on the tables

gentlemen we will reposition with speed

and precision tallest on the left is on

the right

but they have to be rearranged

I'll get someone to do it and see if his

Majesty is ready it

I didn't know that Chile had a Naevia

according to a bat sir they have four

battleships and what is more they are

for sale yes for 25 million who don't

trust Adler that's how I'm sending into

Paris with 25 million my god you'll

never see it again I resent that sir as

an officer in the Imperial Navy on

behalf of the Admiral I must protest

most strongly I was merely jesting

general when I said I didn't trust him

and his judgment not his integrity the

Admiral needs the ships the way he is

losing the Baltic Fleet piecemeal no

wonder why don't you give the money

directly to Japan cut out the middleman

leaders for a man who took no interest

in the war I'll accompany you you

resented the oxygen my views the war or

the matter of record I am against a

gentleman that remark was uncalled for

mr. Vitter we're very proud of our Navy

your majesty

we're here to honor the brave sir I see

general

in the face of overwhelming odds to

defend his comrades without thought to

his own safety the medal for outstanding

gallantry tell me in your own Seco

constant innovation

I was concerned only for my brothers

and turn the event of its most

outstanding bravery aboard his ship

which caught fire regardless of his own

personal safety did put out many fires

and thereby saved many lives you were at

Port Arthur there were thousands more

why choose me little father because he

lives to tell the tale my friend and

it's a failed you know life failed you

and your comrades which your majesty we

would die for you

River

do you think I'm becoming soft rutkowski

only yesterday I sent two proclamations

establishing assembly and the right to

petition I would say this was a tactical

move sir

you misunderstand my position and so

does the good job did you hear him tell

me it was now safe for the Tsar to

return to some Petersburg as if it were

ever not so I am here at Sequoia soon

though because I like it not because 900

men tried to cross the palace square in

some Petersburg to present me with their

grievances it is not me it is not safe

in st. Petersburg but my people

what happened that Sunday was a series

of errors in judgment made by men in

whom I had if I comfort us the result is

that I have been caricature across the

pages of the world presses a tyrant I

love my people

and they love me witness that

demonstration in the hall just now there

is a misunderstanding between us a gap

which is fed by firebrands and

intellectuals Jews and Mason's and and

men who have made it their mission to

destroy the people's love for me yet I'm

I'm cursed by administrators who is so

ambitious they cannot see a major

catastrophe within ten feet of their

noses this is what the Grand Duke

Vladimir announces to the press when the

courses of the dead still not the snow

we prevented the assemblage that's time

the country was returned to the

professionals tell me is there a reality

to this talk of revolution yes sir there

is so when you tap a barometer and it

points to rain that doesn't necessarily

mean we shall all be drowned in the

flood

I have made arrangements for you to have

tea with her Majesty it's her wish that

she talked to you or before I am make up

my mind I understand sir

Kairat scoffs key that'll be widget

yeah

well I'm to have tea with her Majesty he

won't make a decision I think it would

be a good idea if we had a word with the

ANA barababa no she's the closest to Her

Majesty granted but we will have to pay

a high price for her cooperation is

unnecessary you are too confident

general as governor's from Petersburg is

it still necessary you get your way by

carrying favors and ladies of the

Imperial bedchamber now listen to me

wretch Akatsuki

I put you up for this job who else was

there Russia's Facebook revolution

within three months is likely to be upon

us well your mother must be sacked

you're likely to be promoted Minister of

the Interior and when that happens do

you really think that crew tactics you

employ as governor of some Petersburg

can be extended across the country

forget we're not dealing with a few

anarchists with the groups of peasants

and workers who are beginning to realize

their strength lies in unity the march

on the Winter Palace fast so it might

have been is the beginning of something

new and if we lose the war against Japan

and the army turns upon its officers

your problem general multi-play I tell

you your best chance lies with the

intelligence forces was used them to

divert the course of history and turn

the revolutionary movement in upon

itself it's committees must be

controlled by police agents Anarchy must

not be stamped up but actively

encouraged just as a forest fire can be

brought under control by the judicious

use of counter fires so the excesses of

the movement must be exposed to the

people by the continual use of

provocation tactics this is a dangerous

game

and he needs a cool head to see that it

doesn't get out of hand as they did in

Moscow last week when the grand duke

sergei was murdered now if you're

bringing me in to do this it'll be on my

terms not those of anna by rubaba

or any other tact in the royal household

furthermore the post you're offering me

isn't good enough he doesn't give me

control of Moscow or the foreign section

or the uniformed police to be effective

other posts must evolve from it Special

Commissioner to the police department

would be one the vice director of the

foreign section another and in return I

will advise the Tsar that you general be

made a system Minister of the Interior

you will advise the son but that rat

scoffs key will place me under you until

the time comes when you take over the

ministry itself you're fabricating a

future for all of us when the present is

not yet assured you have to be two steps

ahead in this game suppose suppose you

do get the appointment suppose I do my

dear trip off and I don't accept it

where does that leave you

I am a grave and serious your head let's

eat anything for one bending through

aggressiveness and grant

I Spit one speech wisely I'm here to

congratulate Your Majesty upon the birth

of your son yes I forgot you were

dismissed before he was born on your

instructions

Lattin me that I have such power

influence

I have never understood mr. Rex coughs

key your motifs for the investigation of

my friend for the Filipe at the time I

was too angry to ask who I considered

your investigation to be a direct

affront to my person at the time your

majesty I was trying to protect your

majesty

I was overzealous in my duty and was

quite rightly reprimanded father

Philippe seemed to me to be a charlatan

and an impostor and the reports that

have subsequently come in seem to have

confirmed my original opinion he is no

longer in your favour I believe you do

not understand when a man bears the

great burden of the Spirit he may

sometimes fall into the most awful

depravity in an effort to escape the

powers given him by God father Philippe

did have many feelings but he also had

great powers I do not know which of

these you feared the most I was a land

man by the combination at least you

speak your mind mr. wretch cough ski

the death of the Grand Duke Sergei was a

bureaucratic blunder news of the

assassination attempt was known to the

son Petersburg okhrana

but they failed to convince the Moscow

office to take it seriously that's where

the events of Bloody Sunday this also

was a an administrative error had I not

been discharged from my post both these

tragedies could have been avoided you

seemed to have turned the tables on me

mr. a Tchaikovsky I anticipated that you

would come here a suppliant to say that

you would learn to lesson i among and i

have you do not give me that impression

I also take it that you have modified

your attitude towards me or why else

would you have countenance my having tea

with you this afternoon so what is at

issue is not the appointment but the

terms

I trust my husband if he says you are

necessary for the safety of the state I

believe him but I do not want you to

interfere in my affairs or what occurred

before will occur again point is taken

you are to be left alone with your holy

people there are boundaries beyond the

can of governments that I now understand

mum there is a spiritual world or do you

not believe in it you do not I do your

majesty

what I am dealing with and what you are

doing but I am dealing with his life I

wanted a son

what could you with all your

manipulations do to provide me with one

you have provided this are with an app

methods were unorthodox but now that you

have given him one I shall do my best to

protect him although you may from time

to time find my way unorthodox - these

are the reports regarding the maturity

in campaign arrangements will have to be

made for state funeral of the Grand Duke

and then there's some correspondence

with the French ambassador relating to

emigrate to the Disney in that day mr.

korsky said you saw a majesty we have

made our peace I appoint you chief of

this and Petersburg secret police the

special regard to our own welfare

the articles of appointment will be

drawn up in the morning sir the position

does not carry the power necessary to

discharge the responsibilities in order

to see the

speech

who are these people

trans petitioners under the new liberal

order I think I can do about it another

brush will be here tomorrow

the right of petition here as recognized

by the proclamation of every the 1830s

my son has been unjustly accused by the

Okhrana in Antibes so he'd be sent to

Siberia sir but I have walked 1,000

versts to bear witness to his innocence

you say you come from antic and that

your son has been unjustly imprisoned

country and you've walked 1,000 versed

and in every village that you stopped

and in every house that gave you shelter

you proclaim the innocence of your son

yes sir thereby implying that your holy

father the Tsar as a tyrant

no sir yes sir confine this man to the

Pietenpol prison God take this man away

I hope I've done the right thing

so much Palace security tell me did you

get the job yes you counting old folks

throughout the summer

despite isolated incidents the prospect

of revolution in seemed remote but in

the countryside the plight of the

peasants became more desperate and in

the cities the seeds of revolution

continued to germinate massive

unemployment and appalling living

conditions led to a growing feeling of

hopelessness in September a wave of

strikes with a shot at first they were

purely economic but soon their overtones

became palatable the strikes led to

riots and the riots - insurrection

scarcely believing their good fortune

exiled revolutionaries poured back into

this

there was an armed uprising in Moscow

and in Kronstadt the Navy rebelled

in some petersburg an alternative

government was set up by Trotsky and on

the far side of the city

ratch akatsuki running true to form

created a squad known as the black band

its job assassination I think you got

the wrong one sergeant it's his brother

try again tomorrow no way to the funeral

he's bound to attend it of course and

what are you going to do about XF sir

yes that's f was at the head of the

police chief's death list yet despite

this the two continued their clandestine

meetings where a tchaikovsky acquired

valuable information about the

revolutionary movements yes it's time

trace is whereabouts extra man if

necessary

unknown to add SEF wretch coughs key had

another highly placed Informer father

gap on the land was God's they've taken

it this saintly figure who had led the

march on the Winter Palace had fallen

under watch cops keys influence the

police chief had flattered him appealed

to his conscience

and when that had not worked to his

vanity and greed over 100,000 rubles was

paid into father gap ons account a

record for an informer at that time he

was later hanged by the revolutionaries

as a traitor nicholas exceeded at last

to the pleas of the reformers a

parliament was elected called the duma

and litter was named as the Tsar's chief

minister but the business of law and

order remained with you give with one

hundred take away with the other

countries in the state of chaos fixed

now the burning and shooting order will

be restored sir if you will trust your

Squires your lawyers and your country

doctors this is the class comparing the

people back to their senses but they

must have a say in how the country is

run I've given them a parliament I've

placed you at the head of it more Kota

stuff done and you have placed yourself

on the head of this latin-themed your

reactionary body if ever there was

you ignore the black hundreds when they

burn villages and murder tools and you

employ men like rats coughs kee who uses

its power so ruthlessly that he ferments

a very Anarchy that we're not trying to

prevent rubbish Victor the people want

to know how you stand the Czar stands

above politics so if we continue in this

way it will for an investment will be

cut our industrialization program will

factory shoot it hell is the triple I

want to speak to general we look into

the future if we look at Germany and its

expansionism and the dangers that that

will bring looking to the future mr.

Vitter when my mother still waits two

weeks of the border and I still cannot

raise the regiment to convey her safely

to some Petersburg you have talked about

I in officience a prime minister this

country has always been inefficient you

tell me of the revolt of the peasantry

the peasants are always revolting and

here in our cities the workers comprised

3.5 percent of the population and you

preach to me your representative

democracy what you're talking like a

European mr. Vitter well I am talking

about hello we shall survive mr. Vitter

if only to prove that the one forceful

unity on the continent is two weeks the

fate of Russia appeared to hang in the

balance and to those who defended Moscow

or the barriers of the st. Petersburg

Soviet it appeared as if the very

bastions of autocracy were about to fall

but the generals were only biding their

time until fresh troops could reach the

centres of rebellion and when they did

Moscow was stormed by the crack semyonov

ski regiment will trip offs words still

ringing in their ears do not spare the

cartridges the revolution was put down

with violence and bloodshed

according to Plekhanov the father of

Russian Marxism it had been from its

beginning an active suicidal father

after the fall of Moscow punitive

expeditions were sent into the

countryside and where these were not

available the black hundreds were only

too ready to oblige in the words of a

popular song that saw lost his nerve so

he issued a manifesto

freedom to the dead imprisonment or

exile for the living

amongst those who survived were karinski

Trotsky and Lenin I'm gonna miss you

that'll be back believe me you all

washed up my dear fellow and I'm

throwing the towel on us even your

out-of-date you and the old movement

there's a new type coming up deadly dull

compared with you but in the long run

twice as dangerous it is soon through a

book of economics as a bomb his weapons

are the demonstration and the strike

you're talking about a bunch of

agitators huh over their hard to build a

new Russia not just tear down the old I

have a list of names here when you get

to Paris I want you to promise to keep

an eye on them and in return I might

even see you safe across the border

for our report director you know know as

soon as the country's pacified they'll

find some reason to dismiss me they

always do when the dirty work is

finished no no I shall return I'll wait

for the next turn of the circle after

all that's what revolution means doesn't

it

so who do I contact you'll be informed

now if you'll excuse me there's some

mopping up to be done wretch Kowski was

right it was less than a year since he

had walked into an serfs apartment yet

the revolution was already over within

six months the government had found

reasons to dispense with his services

and when the next turn of the circle

came he was dead nine years of peace

followed and but sir I was able to get

out and meet his beloved people again

he dispensed with his experiments in

democracy dissolved the duma and

dismissed vita but the country was never

to be the same again

some people had learned their lesson

others had not
