In order to show his concern for the front line, Tsar Nicholas II used his private hospital to treat injured soldiers who retreated from the front line. Most of them were officers and only a small number of ordinary soldiers.

Compared with the wailing everywhere in the frontline field hospitals, this royal private hospital located in the safest place in Tsarist Russia seemed much more orderly. Injured soldiers were lying on the beds, and doctors and nurses in white coats were coming and going.

As one of the nurses, Queen Alexandra personally went into battle and took her eldest daughter and second daughter to work together with the nurses. Although the three of them did not have any superb medical skills, they were absolutely professional in nursing.

The reporter followed the queen and the princess, taking photos one by one with an old Kodak camera. The royal family's visit and care for the injured soldiers on the front line will be the front page headline of today's Russian newspaper. Inspire the soldiers who are still fighting on the front lines.

As the Orthodox Patriarch, Roy was also one of the reporters chasing him. He walked among the patients and prayed for every soldier. Compared with the visit of the Queen and the Princess, these soldiers looked at Roy instead. More respect and piety.

Tsarist Russia is a big country that believes in the Cross. Almost everyone believes in the religion, and war is the best environment for faith to preach. Almost every soldier on the front line will pray with a cross before the battle, and there are even front-line priests who pray for it. They pray.

In a sense, these injured soldiers who returned to the country were blessed by the Lord. For these soldiers who did not know whether they would survive to tomorrow, they were more willing to dedicate their faith, even if they knew it was useless. It has to have a psychological effect.

Although the countries fighting on the front line almost all believe in Christianity, only they themselves know who God will favor in the war.

An officer closed his eyes, held Roy's hand devoutly, and prayed. There were even tears in the corners of his eyes. The photographer on the side quickly fiddled with the old camera to take a picture of this scene. Roy visited many soldiers in a row and expressed condolences. After meeting many people, I finally had free time

"Your Majesty, you have worked hard. Please go and take a rest first. Anna is over there. She is still getting angry because she has no time to talk to you since she came here... I don't know when she will grow up."

While taking a break, the Queen in a white coat came to Roy and chatted with him about her daughter.

"She will grow up soon, and so will you, Your Majesty, so don't be too tired."

Roy comforted Alexandra softly.

"Hey, I hope that as you said, Anna can grow up quickly... These soldiers are fighting on the front line. As a queen, this is the only thing I can do. To be honest, I really don’t want a war to happen, especially My country was on both sides of the war, which put me in a dilemma."

Her Majesty the Queen shook her head and sighed. Seeing these many soldiers who came down from the front line with serious injuries or even needing amputation, you can see the cruelty of the war ahead. The entire World War I was due to the upgrading of weapons, but the tactics did not keep up. With these advanced weapons, the entire war during World War I was completely like a meat grinder, a victory achieved with human blood and flesh. There was no time to wipe away the sweat, Her Majesty the Queen chatted with Roy for a few words, and then got busy again In the middle, her eldest daughter and her second daughter smiled shyly at Roy, and followed their mother to continue taking care of the wounded.

Only when there was no one else around did Roy find Anastasia in the hospital. , because Her Royal Highness cannot be a nurse like her mother and sister, she is playing chess with some officers as a condolence for herself as a princess. Her Royal

Highness, who is playing chess with a certain officer, noticed the door of the ward Roy, her face suddenly became anxious. The officer was also very discerning. He excused himself as tired and wanted to rest, and ended the chess game. Her Royal Highness bowed and apologized very solemnly, and then trotted off. When they came to Roy's side, his cold little face also showed a smile.

The two of them didn't say anything, and just walked in the hospital corridor until they came to the garden outside. Anastasia was like a cheerful bird. The lark chirped:"……Godfather, I thought soldiers were all rude, impolite and barbaric, but now I realize I was wrong, many of them are very knowledgeable and polite like gentlemen."

Roy just smiled and said nothing when he heard this. He would not tell Her Royal Highness that most of those who can come to the Tsar's Private Hospital for treatment are middle-level or grass-roots officers. They are all well-educated, and those who There is still a big difference between illiterate soldiers, but these people do not represent all frontline soldiers.

Although these officers will also go to the battlefield, the environment will be relatively safer. At least they will not have to charge into battle unless they arrive. On the brink

"Godfather, Godfather! Look there's a camera there!"

Anastasia's eyes suddenly lit up. She saw a camera placed in the garden, and someone was adjusting it next to it. It looked like the person was a photographer from a certain newspaper. Her

Royal Highness immediately lifted her skirt. I ran over and started talking to the photographer. The photographer stepped aside very respectfully and handed the Kodak camera in the old wooden box to the princess to operate.

"Don't let anyone ruin it, Anna.……"

Roy walked towards this side unhurriedly, reminding the lively princess

"No, Godfather! I often played with these when I was at the summer palace, but he was very professional. Even if he did break it, I would compensate him!"

Her Royal Highness the Princess said nonchalantly. As the Grand Duchess of Tsarist Russia, she did have such willful power. The photographer would hand her an expensive camera of this era to play with, knowing that it would not matter even if it was broken. The royal family It's not like she can't afford a camera.

As Anastasia said, she handled the camera very professionally. After a while, she finished adjusting it, pointed the lens on the wooden box at Roy, and said softly:"……Godfather, don't move, just stand there!"

Roy heard the words and stood still. He knew that the little goblin in front of him wanted to take pictures of him.

"Godfather, move forward, move forward!"

Listening to Her Royal Highness's command, Roy moved forward according to her wishes. Until he was too close to the camera, Anastasia pressed a button on the camera and walked quickly. In front of the camera, I hugged his arm

"click————"

A dazzling light flashed, and an old black-and-white photo was left in the Kodak camera.

Roy stood there and smiled gently. His body was slightly tilted because of the sudden rush of Her Royal Highness. Her right arm was held tightly by the girl, and the two of them were almost completely touching each other without any gaps.

Her Royal Highness's hair was a little messy as she ran so fast, but her charming, always cold face showed a cheerful smile as bright and blooming as a rose, and her slender body was as delicate as a flower, ready to come out. Youthful, lively and hilariously quirky.

Her behavior can be regarded as a selfie, and perhaps this photo can also be regarded as the 'oldest selfie'.

In the church, Roy rubbed the colorless black and white photo in his hand, and there was a lot of people outside.

He turned his head and looked out the window. People were excited, shouting slogans, and many people even held weapons in their hands. It turned out that it was already February of the new year... In January

1917, St. Petersburg People took to the streets to mourn the bloody suppression ten years ago. Nicholas II was furious and ordered Khabarov to"stop the riots in Kyoto." The entire Tsarist Russian regime immediately fell into turmoil, and internal and external troubles intensified. , and even the nobles of Tsarist Russia believed that Queen Alexandra was a German spy and asked the Tsar to put her under house arrest.

There were many scandals inside and outside the court. The outside people and the petty bourgeoisie united together, and the internal nobles were also ready to move, demanding that Nicholas II be deposed and a tsar be established.

In February, the Russian army was inspired to change its flag. Tsar Nicholas II completely lost the support of the military, nobles and capitalists, and was unable to survive alone.

And an army poured into the summer palace in a mighty manner and imprisoned the tsar's family.
