The Rise of the Third Reich

Historical truth is sometimes more interesting than fiction—Hessman is now swimming in historical truth. He was not involved in the formulation of the "Free Corps Plan". There were probably similar plans in history.

Otherwise, how could the fruits of victory of Germany's vigorous November Revolution fall into the hands of the Social Democrats, the Juncker Corps and the bourgeoisie?

To this question, Hirschmann has now found the answer. The fruits of victory of the German revolution turned out to be hacked by hackers. Before the climax of the revolution arrived, the forces opposed to the revolution had prepared Trojan horse viruses and planted them in the revolutionary ranks. Hersman had most of the day to train more than two hundred Trojan viruses named "Soldier Council Chairman." They will be divided into fifty-one squads, and then join the "scabs" sent by Albert to control the fifty-one barracks in Berlin. The officers in the barracks have received orders to fully cooperate with these "social democratic" agitators.

In addition, the wily Schleicher had also assembled one hundred and two carriages full of butter, cheese, bacon, sausages, eggs, beer and cigarettes in advance... While eating, drinking and reasoning, the effect should not be bad, right? ?

As for how to make sense and what kind of sense to make, that is Hessman's business. Although time was a bit tight, it was not difficult for Hessmann, who had participated in the Russian Revolution.

Because Comrade Lenin had already told Hessman the key to propaganda, and also asked Hessman to practice it in the Russian Revolution, and basically mastered the key to propaganda and agitation - firstly, to pretend to be "one of our own"; secondly, he had to practice it in the Russian Revolution. You have to pick out the words that the audience likes to hear; finally, if you repeat a lie three times, it becomes the truth!

Hersman divided the more than 200 people assigned to him by Schleicher into fifty-one groups, with an average of four to five people per group, and then learned about the situation. These people are all non-commissioned officers, all have squatted in trenches on the front line, all have been wounded, and all have received medals - Schleicher is indeed capable, and you can tell by looking at the people he selected. The most prestigious "old squad leader" in the class.

At this time when the soldier does not believe in the officer, an "old squad leader" who has shed blood and fought for his life on the front line is definitely more effective than the worker propagandist sent by Liebknecht and others.

Because they are the soldiers' "own people"! When your own people deceive your own people, the best results will be achieved!

"Comrades!" Hessmann began to speak in a Bolshevik tone, "You are all heroes who have smelled smoke and poison gas on the front line, suffered bullets from the Allied Powers, and received medals from the motherland! For the soldiers in Berlin, Regardless of whether they have been on the battlefield or not, they will have a natural respect for you. This is your advantage! So you must repeatedly emphasize that you have been on the battlefield, received medals, and were honorably wounded!"

"As for what to tell the soldiers, it is actually very simple: first, the Social Democratic Party cares about them and is the only one they can trust; second, peace! Achieve peace immediately; third, realize socialist democracy, and those who are over 20 years old Each man and woman has one vote; fourth, demobilize as soon as possible and go home to live and work in peace and contentment.

These are the four things you must tell your soldiers over and over again. There is no need to talk about other messy principles. These four points should be repeated over and over again until everyone believes them. You must remember that even lies can become truth as long as they are told repeatedly. What's more, what you want to tell the soldiers is the truth!

If you meet someone from the Spartacists debating with you, don’t tell them what socialism or capitalism is. You can’t explain it to them. You only need to say two points: First, the civil war in Soviet Russia has begun in January this year, and it seems to be going on for a long time; second, the Bolsheviks used force to disperse the people elected by the Soviet people with one vote. Constituent Assembly - This was the cause of the Civil War in Soviet Russia. Don't argue with them about other things, just say these two points. No matter what your opponents say, as long as you insist on saying these two points, you will definitely win support. "

Soviet Russia, which had fought a civil war for ten months, was the best negative teaching material for the war-weary German soldiers! Russian soldiers wanted peace but could not get it, and were forced to kill each other. This is definitely not the ending the German soldiers wanted! Moreover, Germany still has a tradition of democratic consultation in history, and it also pays more attention to the spirit of contract. In the eyes of a considerable number of Germans, the January upheaval was the betrayal of the Russian Bolshevik Party! The Spartacists showed their pro-Russian stance everywhere and took the Russian Bolsheviks as their teachers, which also meant that they could not be trusted.

So as long as Hessmann's "Trojan Horse Viruses" stick to this point and criticize them to the end, they are competing with the Bolsheviks - no matter how good the Social Democratic Party is, whether it is a traitor or a scab, it can always bring peace. It can bring about one-person-one-vote democracy. The Bolsheviks had neither peace nor democracy, only civil war and Cheka. As long as everyone understands this, these "Trojan viruses" can be elected as chairman of the Soldiers Committee.

After the victory of the Berlin Revolution, these Chairman of the Soldiers' Committee can go to the Berlin Congress of Soviets of Workers' and Soldiers' Deputies to vote for Soviet Executive Committee members and People's Commissar members.

For example, after the February Revolution in Russia, the provisional government and the Soviets coexisted without governing each other. This situation was impossible after the November Revolution in Germany.

Because as early as October, before Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg were released from prison, the leaders of the German Social Democratic Party, Albert and Scheidemann, and the leader of the Independent Social Democratic Party, Haazi, had already formulated a plan. A plan to dismantle the revolution from within.

They decided that if revolution became inevitable, they would join in and become the leading force in it. Then by taking control of the Congress of Workers' and Soldiers' Soviets, both the Executive Committee and the Council of People's Commissars were firmly under control, completely excluding the Spartacists.

At the same time, they also joined forces with the Juncker Corps and the German bourgeoisie to reach a series of agreements to jointly stifle the revolution. It can be said that Germany was already in an extremely disadvantageous situation as soon as the November Revolution began.

However, since the Junker officers and the bourgeoisie have participated, the revolutionary overthrow of the Hohenzollern dynasty is the last option.

On the morning of November 9, the revolutionary storm raged in Berlin, and most of the neighborhoods were controlled by strikers and mutinous soldiers led by the Spartacists. The only areas that the German government can control include the official residence in the Imperial City of Berlin, the Reichstag, the Chancellery, the General Staff, and the Admiralty.

However, the leadership of the Spartacists was only superficial. It was instigated by people's dissatisfaction with the imperial authorities and the passionate speeches of revolutionaries, and did not really take root at the grassroots level. This is because the Spartacists were A small faction, even weaker than the Bolsheviks before the February Revolution. Moreover, before World War I, Germany had always been the country with the fastest economic growth in Europe and good social welfare. The working people have to some extent shared the dividends of Germany's economic growth, and there is no great dissatisfaction.

In addition, Germany is basically a nation-state, and there are not so many "non-German" revolutionary activists who can fight for the Spartacists. Therefore, it was far more difficult for the Spartacists to rapidly expand their power than it was for the Russian Bolsheviks.

However, on the morning of November 9, the Spartacist faction, which had little strength in its own right, still led the revolution and seemed to be on the verge of victory.

This is because their enemies have not yet made the final choice between sneaking into the revolutionary ranks and suppressing the revolution.

In the Reichstag, politicians from the Social Democratic Party and the Independent Socialist Party, representatives of the Federation of Entrepreneurs, members of the Industrial Promotion Committee, and representatives of the German military were all anxiously waiting for news from Spa, Belgium—the Emperor had arrived there. , are trying to mobilize troops from the front to suppress the revolution.
