Ch-3

While Anastasia secured the future of her nation the world was celebrating the peace in Europe, but while most celebrated in the high mountains of the Himalayas a woman far older than she looked was confused and intrigued.

She had been the leader of the sorcerers for a millennia at this point and knew that humanity was constantly just on the brink of extinction from the likes of Dormammu or aliens that could conquer the world in a mater of moments.

But she had a plan, a very convoluted plan the stretched over 200 years in the making, which had gone completely up in smoke when one girl survived.

Now she didn't encourage the murder the Russian royal family she simply didn't stop it like she had for millions of crimes all over the world as she wasn't a God.

But that girl was changing things and each day she survived the chances of the human race going extinct lowered and lowered each passing day, along with the time line she knew and she couldn't be any more excited.

POV Russian Loyalists Soldier

The noise of gunfire surrounded him, as Nikolai and his squad moved among the Dense streets Bratsk.

He and his squad had been testing the new gun that the Tzarina hirself had personally designed.

His immediate thought was he and his men were going to sent on a suicide mission, but he had been surprised when he first shot the gun.

The amount of lead it could put down range before a Soviet could rechamber a round was amazing, after putting it though it's paces he had volunteered to lead the charge to take the city of Bratsk.

That is where we find Nikolai as he and his squad cleared the governors manor, Nikolai motion to the other side of the door for Dmitriy to open.

Nik raised his hand and and raised three fingers and slowly lowered them...one...two...three…..and Dmitry cracked the door slightly and Nik tossed a grenade into room.

He headed a yell of "Grenade!!!"and with a loud bang and he kicked the door down and opens fire into the room.

A group of 5 Soviets had been using a machine gun to fire into the street halting the advance, three were dead from the new Pineapple Grenade, The last two were quickly dispatched by liberal uses of heavy fire from his new gun.

Nikolai's squad would clear the rest of the building and his Major had come to speak with them.

Major Stepanov-"Good work men, I'll be expecting your reports on the Alexei gun soon but for now get some rest we still have a city to take."

After the war Nikolai would go on to receive multiple metals to bravery and courage in his defense of Imperial Russia, in addition he would receive a large section of land once owned by a noble and would raise two children a mountain of a boy and a daughter.

He would also go on to teach at the new imperial war college as his, taking of the governors manor would eventually become a textbook example of how to conduct urban warfare and taking a entrenched position.

His son would also follow in his foot steps during the Second World War much to his dismay but his son would become famous and known as Колосс or the Colossus.

September 8th 1918

With the rushed training of the loyalist troops and the lack of equipment even with the deployment of the Sten Gun the loyalist simply lack manpower, and equipment to sustain a massive front that we had.

The Soviet were in mostly the same book, they were relying on scavenged equipment from the war and having to quells riots in cities all over Western Russia, so we pushed for the Yenisei river to secure a natural defense barrier.

As any father we will be stretched extremely thin as the the Soviet had cleared out most of the loyalist in the Ukraine, so defensive positions are being built along the river to stop any advance from the Soviets.

This will also allow the factories to resupply the men as ammo and other necessities are running low in the heavy combat regions, with the factories ever so slowly catching up with the demand and with the first ships from the allied nations dropping off there old equipment we have begun diversifying our equipment.

With the half tracks acting as IFV, tanks, and any other role a light armored vehicle could fill to keep the logistics streamlined as possible. As the problem with reviving so much international equipment from all the Allie's they use a variety of different measurements which meant the parts had to be worked to get them to work together.

This was even worse for large pieces of equipment like trucks as the engines were almost completely incompatible, but it boot strapped out logistics division as most of our division were spread over 2,500 miles.

Some in large cites while other are in harsh cold woodland, so logistics I hell right now which is why I invested my new perk into that field.

With it and my efficiency perk have cut a lot of the fat off the logistics division in addition to our resources need for factories and food have also been eased and rations have actually increased in size over the last couple of weeks.

But sadly it hasn't been smooth sailing over the past couple of weeks, as I have had to delve more and more into politics. On the national and international level, on the national level I have with the ministers that didn't flee the country or are "secretly" working for the Soviet we have begun writing the constitution and laws of the nation.

The problem is they think they deserve even more power after the fall of the previous government which had been both too liberal and to authoritarian at the same time.

The old noble had too much power while the coming people were not educated enough to actually be good participants in the government, and now with the revolution education out here in the East has gotten even worse over the past year and a half.

So the government will need to be borderline autocratic in its laws till the situation is stable enough to allow a more active role by the citizen. Elections on a small scale shall still happen like mayors and sheriffs but on the scale of provincial and federal governments they will be placed by me.

Thankfully the common people didn't mind the change, as with all the nobles fleeing the Soviets the serf status has been completely destroyed and the nobles lands distributed to the common people while some is being held for military bases or rewards for the men fight on the front.

Laws have also been expanded regarding the equality of the sexed which had already been art of the Russian mind set with great female leaders being semi common in history. While still restricting by modern views they are considered our right radical by the times.

Besides myself now being a woman, I need women taking more active roles in the work force. As with so many men on the front I need them working in my factories and working the farms too feed there husbands and brothers.

Laws were also made a lot clearer and easy to understand by the average man, no longer will you need 100 different books that cross court cases and the "feeling" of the laws.

Instead a series of books have been printed and freely borrowed at every governmental building when we can produce enough to do so.

While on the international stage I hav what to play the girl who grew up to fast and taken the reins of her nation, with the help of my extended royal families in Europe I have had decent success in getting promises of recognition and helping barter peace between myself and the Soviets.

The current plan is to let them try and push pay the river defense and use their losses from that to enter a better stance in peace, we also new that the peace will not last between us as the Soviets have an entirely different political stance.

The problems I'm having are with the Japanese and the Americans, while they were the first to arrive and help stabilize the government they both had there reasons.

The Japanese after being snubbed in the peace conference wanted Manchuria and have made it quite clear to me that they want it. Promises of complete military, industrial and financial aid In exchange for giving them the land and some in there favor trade agreements.

I of course told them to go fuck themselves in the most polite way possible, and the Qing "republic" had been happy about that after saying the treatment of Korean people in Japanese controlled Korea.

Which I was able to work into a deal for them to send some men to help build the much needed infrastructure like roads and rail lines in our lands in exchange technical expertise training to occur in there own lands.

The American were an entire different problem, unlike the original time line non of America solders have been seeing direct combat along the front which has slowed the public out cry for the men to return home but it has been slowly building over the past month as the Americans also wanted to return home.

Some had already begun slowly returning home, they will also be leaving with a better of look on the Easter Russian government, which I hope to encourage trade in the future. A couple of the soldiers had family in California who will be sending trade ships our way soon even.

As for how the new government is paying for all of the assets that were not gifted this was done via seizing of assets from nobles who have been trying to flee the country, any stopping getting on ships are to have any gold and other precious metals taken and then allowed to leave.

This has also given us a small precious metals stockpile too back our currency with, as the Soviets seized the large stockpile my father had moved when the rebellion started.

Now we simply waited as only time will tell if our plan works.
