The Rise of the Third Reich

Soviet Germany should have existed, but few people knew about it in later generations, but Hirschmann, a senior German fan, did know a little bit about it. In theory, Germany was once a Soviet state. Because during the German November Revolution, Soviets of Workers’ and Soldiers’ Deputies appeared in most parts of Germany! Representing all of Germany was an organization called the "Berlin Congress of Workers' and Soldiers' Soviets". This congress elected the 24-member "Executive Committee of the Berlin Soviet" and approved the 6 members of the "Committee of People's Plenipotentiaries" proposed by Albert.

There was the Congress of Soviets of Workers' and Soldiers' Deputies and the Executive Committee, and the central government representing Germany was also called the "Commissariat of People's Commissars". Who dares to say that Germany is not a Soviet country? However, the proletarian revolution in Germany did not succeed in the end. The reason was not only that the reactionary forces in Germany - people like Hersmann and Chloe - were relatively strong, but also because Germany did not have Duke Lvov and Krens. Basically, only Albert and Scheidemann returned Aziz, the three traitors, traitors, and scabs who had sneaked into the revolutionary ranks.

"Major General, who's here now?" Schleicher shook hands with Karl Haushofer and then asked in a low voice.

Karl Haushofer said: "Now it is the First Munitions Director who is negotiating with them, and then it is our turn, followed by representatives of the business owners' association and farmers' association, and finally representatives of the church."

The "them" in Karl Haushofer's words, of course, refers to representatives of German "socialists" such as Albert, Scheidemann, and Haazi.

"Ludwig, come with me." Schleicher waved to Hessmann and led the way.

"Lieutenant Colonel, we don't wait until they finish the negotiation?" Hersman quickly followed.

"No wait, we are going to the meeting," Schleicher looked back at Hersman and smiled, "Ludwig, everyone who came to the meeting today knows that you have seen big scenes... so They want to ask for your opinion, and maybe they will arrange a good seat for you. By the way, you should not return to Riga for the time being. If possible, we will transfer more people from Riga."

Hessman nodded. He can be considered an "old revolutionary". He also participated in the October Revolution in Petrograd! If there is anyone in the entire German Communist Party who knows the Bolsheviks best, it is undoubtedly him.

Schleicher brought Hessmann into a room that smelled of cigarettes and coffee. It was a conference room with a long conference table. Both sides of the long table were full of people, and one side was full of people in military uniforms, including the current Prime Minister, Prince of Baden, Admiral Groener, First Director of Munitions, Lieutenant Colonel Schulenburg, Marshal Hindenburg's adjutant, and Chief of Naval Staff. General Reinhard Scheer, Director of Military Intelligence Colonel Val T. Nikolai. On the other side were people wearing suits and ties, and Hessmann also knew them—some in person, some through Stasi files—they were the leaders of the Social Democratic Party, Albert, Scheidemann, and Lang. Zburg, the leaders of the Independent Social Democratic Party, Haazi, Dittmann and Barth.

"Let me introduce you to you," Colonel Val T. Nicholas, the director of military intelligence, stood up, walked to Hersmann, pointed at him and said, "He is Lieutenant Colonel Ludwig von Hersmann. A friend of Lenin and a participant in the Russian October Revolution, he also received the Order of Merit (Blue Max). He knows better than anyone about the issues of the Russian Revolution.”

"Lieutenant Colonel, what will happen to us if Russia's Lenin comes to power?" The first person to ask the question was Hugo Haazi, who cared more about the working class's wages and holidays than rebellion.

"The prince and the two generals will be shot soon, and the leader of the Social Democratic Party will be arrested or expelled soon, depending on the reputation and revolutionary situation and the rescue of overseas socialists. But judging from the current situation, once Germany is Under Bolshevik rule, it is unlikely that the Social Democrats will be expelled, because there are no strong overseas socialist parties. As for whether they will be shot after being arrested, it depends on their performance. If they surrender earlier, they may be forgiven... …The leaders of the USPD will be arrested or under house arrest within a few months, and if they are willing to cooperate, they can survive until the victory of the Bolshevik revolution. As for myself, Lieutenant Colonel Schleicher, Lieutenant Colonel Schulenburg and Nikolai. Colonel, you can choose to become a Bolshevik military expert or be shot. Of course, it is not just you who will suffer, but your family and even your children. If any of us is shot, the family will be sent to a concentration camp, just like the British. Same as the Boers, even worse, no one will come out alive."

"This sounds like a slander," the Prince of Baden, who believed in freedom and democracy, frowned and stared at Hersmann with suspicion. "Lieutenant Colonel, can you swear that what you said is true?"

Hessmann glanced at the aloof prince with contempt, "Your Highness, you are Duke Lvov of Germany. His kindness has killed many Russians!" Then he turned his eyes to Albert, "Now I just I hope there is no Kerensky in Germany!”

Albert took over the topic and said: "What he said is true! We know some things in this regard, and we have channels... To Russia, we are overseas socialists."

He smacked his lips and frowned, "Fortunately, I'm not Kerensky... Ludwig, do you remember our agreement before?"

"Remember." Herschmann knew that Albert wanted to deal with Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg by himself. He looked at Admiral Groener, who nodded heavily. Hersman said: "It can be implemented anytime!"

Albert raised his eyebrows slightly, "Not now, we can't add fuel to the fire now. The people are still hoping for a painless peace, and there is no ceasefire on the front line. We cannot intensify the conflict... But we must always keep abreast of their movements. "

"Understood."

Albert wanted Hersmann to send people to Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg. In fact, there was no need for Albert to issue an order. Hersmann had already instructed the Berlin intelligence station controlled by Rosenberg to infiltrate - this was a piece of cake for Rosenberg, a doctoral student at Moscow State University. He himself was a "political scientist" who knew Marx's theory well and had experienced the Russian Revolution. He knew how to let his agents get close to the Bolsheviks.

Albert nodded with satisfaction and gave General Groener a wink, who said: "Lieutenant Colonel Hersman, there is an agreement for you to sign."

Signing the agreement... This is a special phenomenon in the political life of Germany and Western Europe, Northern Europe and North America. People there respect the so-called spirit of contract very much. Things written in black and white are generally more guaranteed, and the effect of oaths is similar.

Now Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg are trying their best to incite the people in Berlin to rebel, while Albert, Scheidemann, and Haazi, who respect the spirit of the contract, are busy fighting with the German Junkers officer corps , capitalists and churches signed various political agreements. There is also an agreement belonging to Hirschmann!

The agreement was handwritten, and the handwriting was Schleicher's. The format was similar to a sales contract, in triplicate, but there was no "Party A" and "Party B." The content is very simple, that is, the Stasi organization must ensure that it obeys the dual leadership of the military and the future government to protect Germany's stability and national interests. The future German government will support the Stasi in conducting intelligence activities in Germany that are in line with German national interests. In addition, there is also a "lifetime confidentiality clause" attached.

Hersman readily signed the agreement. Schleicher handed the agreement signed by Hersmann to Albert and Groner, who then signed it one by one, and finally gave one copy to Hersmann for safekeeping.
