The Rise of the Third Reich

Footsteps sounded in the train carriage where Hessmann and Chloe were sitting, followed by Grand Duchess Olga's sweet and cheerful voice: "Hey, you're not asleep yet, that's great."

"What's going on?" Hessman stood up and looked at the Grand Duchess with a sweet smile. She put on a blue dress from Chloe and looked a little fat - I don't know why, the Tsarist family I didn’t bring any luggage, so I didn’t have any clothes to change into. Fortunately, Chloe brought some clothes for the Tsar's queen and daughters to change into. But she was a plump woman with a very impressive bust, and her clothes were too loose for Olga to wear.

"Lieutenant Colonel, my father wants to see you. He has something to ask." The Grand Duchess replied with a smile. She was in a very happy and relaxed mood ever since she became Hessmann's prisoner. She knew that the German Army Major in front of her was definitely not the one who captured her family and sent them to Germany to be shot.

"Chloe, go get a pot of coffee," Hessman said to Chloe with a smile, "I think I'm going to talk to His Majesty the Tsar all night."

The Tsar must have many questions to ask. He has been a prisoner for a long time. He probably doesn't even know if the world war is over, right? In addition, Nicholas II probably would not feel comfortable living as an apartment in Germany, and would definitely find ways to restore his country. And if William II can free his hands, I am afraid he will also support Belarus...

Full of calculations, Hessmann followed Grand Duchess Olga into the carriage where the Czar was. This is a relatively clean ordinary passenger car. The windows are all welded shut with steel bars, and the doors used to get in and out of the car have been locked. There was only Tsar Nicholas II inside. He sat blankly on a chair, with no expression on his rather upright face, as if he were a stone statue.

"Your Majesty!" Hessmann walked up to the Tsar and bowed.

There was no reaction from the Tsar. The carriage was quiet except for the sound of wheels hitting the rails.

"Father, Major Herschmann is here." Olga spoke. At this time, the Tsar seemed to wake up from a daydream and smiled awkwardly at Hessmann: "Major, please sit down. ... I think it was you who rescued me and my family from the Bolsheviks. ?"

"Yes," Hersmann sat down in front of the Tsar. "This is also the order of His Majesty the Emperor."

"So...how is the war going? Have the Allies...been defeated?"

"No, in fact the situation of the war is somewhat unfavorable to the Allies." Hersman answered truthfully.

"What?" the Tsar seemed surprised. As the monarch of the "most powerful" Russian Empire among the Allied Powers, he himself became a prisoner of the Kaiser. It is incredible that the Allied Powers could gain the upper hand without Russia!

"After all, the United States has participated in the war!" Hersman shrugged. "And the war has lasted for many years, and the Allies are already a little tired... However, now that peace has been achieved on the Eastern Front, we can concentrate on dealing with the Western Front."

"Peace was achieved?" The Tsar frowned. "With whom?"

"Soviet government, Soviet government led by the Bolsheviks!"

"The Soviet government led by the Bolsheviks?" The Tsar was stunned. "They are still in power in Petrograd? I heard that there was a Constituent Assembly election... The Bolsheviks were elected?"

"No, they were not elected...the Socialist-Revolutionaries and the Mensheviks had the support of the majority of the Russian people."

"Then why is there a Soviet government led by Bolsheviks?" The Tsar looked at Hersman in confusion. He had heard about the Constituent Assembly elections when he was under house arrest in Tobolsk, but he did not know the results. Now he learned from Hessmann that the Socialist Revolutionaries and Mensheviks won, but there was still a Soviet government, which really made him a little confused.

"Because the Bolsheviks dispersed the Constituent Assembly..."

"What!? How dare they do this?" The Tsar suddenly stood up. "The people of Petrograd are looking at this? There should be many supporters of the Socialist Revolutionaries and Mensheviks, right?"

Hessmann said with a half-smile: "The Bolsheviks have an army, and they suppressed the supporters of the Socialist Revolutionaries and Mensheviks with bullets!"

"Suppression!" The Tsar opened his eyes wide. "Is the suppression going on?"

He had done this before, but the results were always unsatisfactory.

"The Socialist Revolutionaries and Mensheviks have not been completely suppressed yet," Hessmann put away his smile and said in a serious and serious tone, "Your Majesty, your motherland has actually fallen into a civil war! This is a massive civil war. In the civil war, one side is the Bolshevik Red Army; the other side is the White Army loyal to the Provisional Government...The Red Army controls the most densely populated and economically developed central area of ​​​​Russia, while the White Army occupied Siberia, the Far East, parts of the Ural region and the Don River. downstream.

In addition, the Ukrainian region currently enjoys a high degree of autonomy under the "guarantee" of Germany, while Finland has officially become independent. Poland, Courland, Estonia, Livland, and Livonia are based on the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk signed between Russia and Germany. , have been placed under German protection! "

"Oh God! How did Russia become like this?" the Tsar cried in pain. "How can they anarchists treat Russia like this! Are they... going to destroy my Russia?"

"Your Majesty, Russia is no longer yours!"

"No! I must take it back!" the Tsar shouted, "Since they don't cherish Russia, then I will rise again! I will take Russia back!"

Take back Russia? Hessman raised his eyebrows and thought, take it from Lenin?

"William!" the Tsar shouted, shouting the name of the German Emperor. "He rescued me from the Bolsheviks absolutely not because of a conscience, but to use me to deal with the Bolsheviks. Revolution is an infectious disease in Europe and must be stifled in Europe. In the bud... I can join forces with William! I can join forces with anyone!"

Join forces to exterminate the Bolsheviks...the German Emperor may really have this idea! Hessmann smiled bitterly in his heart: But His Majesty the Emperor is powerless. Soon, you two will become brothers in distress...

…

"Long live the Emperor! Long live Germany!"

Cheers rang out in the Berlin train station square. There hadn’t been such cheers for a long time! Hersmann remembered that the last time he heard people cheering for the German Emperor in Berlin was when the war broke out - of course, they were also cheering for the war!

However, as the war gradually fell into a stalemate, casualties on the front line became increasingly large, and supplies in the rear became increasingly tight. The voices of complaints and opposition overwhelmed the voices supporting the war. It seems that as long as there are complaints and objections, there will be peace with "no ceding of land and no reparations."

And today, the Tsar, who was overthrown by the Russians who dreamed of "no territory and no reparations," became a "prisoner of war" in the German Empire and was escorted to Berlin! This undoubtedly gave the Germans who were trapped in the quagmire of war a shot of stimulant!

The newspapers with the largest circulation in Berlin all had the following words written in bold black letters on their front pages today: The Tsar has been captured, can the King of England still escape?

What a relief! But it was just a way to relieve his anger.

"Long live the Emperor! Victory belongs to Germany!"

When the Russian Tsar and his family were wearing straight military uniforms, with ribbons hanging on their shoulders and a blue Max Medal on the collar, Hessmann and the Tsar, who was wearing a yellow-green military coat and looked very lonely, were together. When we walked out of the waiting hall and stood on the granite steps, the square seemed to be boiling.

It turned out that the German emperor was getting off a luxurious carriage pulled by eight white horses. He was fully dressed in military uniform, wearing a helmet decorated with a golden tip and an eagle emblem, and a scepter in his hand. What a winner!

The Tsar looked at the dense crowd in the square and the Kaiser who was walking in surrounded by a large number of people in military uniforms. His face turned green and white, but in the end he took a few deep breaths of the Berlin air that he hated, and then squeezed He smiled a little and strode towards the German Emperor.

Then our Major Hessmann saw such an incredible scene: Tsar Nicholas II and German Emperor Wilhelm II lovingly embraced each other, followed by cordial greetings and conversations.

The Kaiser said in a concerned tone: "Nicholas, it's so good to see you! You know, I heard that you fell into the hands of the anarchists. I was worried."

The Tsar asked with a half-smile: "William, but I heard that those anarchists are from Germany. Were they not sent to Russia by you?"

"How is that possible? I have always been pro-Russian. Nikolai, we are still relatives!"

The Tsar smiled and said: "Yes, we are related, and I am also pro-German. In fact, I am a German! My surname is Romanov Holstein Gottorp."

"Yes, we are compatriots! Germany and Russia should be as close as brothers!" The Kaiser waved his right hand vigorously. "We might as well issue a statement at the train station, declaring that Russia and Germany are brotherly countries, and we will remain friendly forever and never fight again!"

The Russian Tsar shook the Kaiser's hand firmly, "Yes! It should have been like this a long time ago! We will always be brothers and always friendly!"
