Chapter 2 Union with Russia and the Soviet Union
In the bright sunshine in southern Germany, trains spewed in smoke galloped on the railway to Zurich. On both sides of the railway, except for the barren farms and pastures where cattle and sheep are invisible, there are large and dense forests.
The train was not crowded, and most of the cars had passengers in less than half of the seats, mostly women, children or older men. Our Captain Hessman, now also rides on this train, but instead of sitting in the ordinary car, she entered a spacious private room. There were several other people with him, one of whom was the Army Lieutenant named Carl Stockhausen. He had golden hair, quite burly and tall body, and was very young, as if he was under 20 years old.
He was the assistant assigned by Captain Kesseling to Hessman, and was drawn from the guards of the General Staff. With him, three large soldiers were also here. Their mission was not to protect Hessman, but to act as porters. Now there are no light military radio stations, they are all big and bulky guys. Hessman alone can't handle it no matter what.
In addition to these four "coolies", there are two personnel sent by the Imperial Foreign Ministry on William Street - contact with Comrade Lenin. In the past, the German Embassy in Switzerland was always in charge. This time, the contact with Lenin was also jointly controlled by the General Staff and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Therefore, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also sent a small official who was struggling with Hessmann, the first-class secretary of the Embassy in Switzerland, Oscar von Etel. This is a fat man in his thirties, with big eyes, thick eyebrows, a big red rosacea nose, wearing thick glasses, a loud voice, and a big appetite for eating. It is really a bad thing for him to be a diplomat in Switzerland, who has a very rich food supply.
Hessman guessed that this fat man must have a good background and had taken some way to get the position of diplomat in Switzerland. Otherwise, at his age, he should go to the front line to squat.
Along with Etel, a young lady with a beautiful oval face, a tall nose bridge seemed to be carved, with wavy blonde hair, a pair of very beautiful ice-blue eyes, and a white complexion like cream. She looked like a very outstanding beauty.
The only drawback is that her figure seems to be a little fat, perhaps not fat but attractive plump... because she always wears a wide gray tweed dress, which makes Hessmann unable to judge.
This lady was also a diplomat and was a member of the German Embassy in Switzerland - this was unimaginable before the war, but now too many men have been pulled out, leaving enough positions for the women.
A beauty who was asked for an errand at the German Embassy in Switzerland was named Chloe von Heinsberg, and she also holds the title of baroness, inherited from her father who died on the battlefield (one of her fiancés also died on the front line, which is so sad).
In addition, according to Etel, Miss Heinsberg is also a female college student. She graduated from the History Department of the University of Munich. And by coincidence, her teacher Carl Haushofer, in the History Department of the University of Munich, was also the tactical instructor of Hessman at the Grosleysfeld Officer School.
"Oh my God, are you also a student of Colonel Haushofer?" Hessman looked at the female diplomat of the German Empire in amazement and said in a serious tone. "He is a very strict teacher. Our students of that class are often punished by him, either running around the playground or doing dozens of push-ups. I think he is also very strict at the University of Munich?"
Miss Heinsberg was amused by Hessman and giggled: "Captain, university is not as good as military academy, it is a very free place. In my impression, the Doctor is a very kind and gentlemanly man, and he is a good teacher."
But after the failure of World War II, this good teacher would commit suicide! Hessman couldn't help but have a gloomy thought... In his impression, Colonel Haushofer and his Jewish wife (German Honors) committed suicide by taking poison a year after the defeat in Germany.
By the way, there are many Jews who fight for Germany and even sacrifice their lives with honored Germans! So in Hermann's view, the Jews are not the enemies of Germany. The real enemy of Germany is the great chaebols of Wall Street and London, and they do not allow Germany to rise... Although a considerable number of these chaebols are Jews, the number of Jews in the international chaebols is definitely not as large as that of Jews who fought for the Nazis.
"And the doctor is also very talented. The European history he explained is very interesting and not dull at all." Miss Heinsberg continued to praise her teacher, but her eyes were fixed on Hessman with a melancholy face. "Captain, what are you worried about?"
"No, no," Hessman shook his head and smiled a little. "I thought of the colonel's ********* point, and I think he also told it at the University of Munich?"
In Hessman's memory, this Houshofer was also a famous German *********ologist. Rudolph Hess was his student, and Hitler was deeply influenced by it. After the Nazi Party came to power, he also became the president of the German Academy of Sciences.
Hessmann later heard of his ideal in *************, which was the German-Soviet alliance, and the two land-powered countries jointly opposed the British-American maritime power. In this regard, he was better than Hitler and Stalin. If the two dictators could listen to him, the outcome of the Third Reich and the Red Empire would not be so miserable. Among these two dictators, Hitler's ********* view was obviously more confused - because Hitler pursued the view of pro-British and anti-Russia...
"The doctor advocates coordination between Germany and Russia," Miss Heinsberg exchanged glances with the fat man Etel. Heinsberg asked with a smile, "Captain, I think you must not agree with this view, right?"
"On the contrary," Hessman shrugged, then remained silent for a moment, as if he was considering the words. "In fact, I agree with His Excellency Bismarck's claim. Russia is particularly important to Germany. The reason why this war lasted was that we went to war with France and Russia at the same time... If we could transfer the forces on the Eastern Front to the Western Front from the beginning, the glorious peace would have come long ago."
When Hessman spoke, his eyes were always staring at Etel's face. He knew that there were always loyal believers of the Bismarck line in Germany's political and diplomatic circles. For example, Gustav Strezeman, who later became the Prime Minister of the Weimar Republic, and Shurenberg, who was the ambassador to the Soviet Union.
Etel remained silent, but looked at Heinsberg. Heinsberg raised his voice and said, "Captain, isn't there a chance to achieve Russian-German coordination now?"
"Are you talking about Lenin?" Hessman looked at the bright and charming Heinsberg. He guessed that she was just a beautiful soundtrack, and the female entourage of the embassy abroad had no future, so she was not afraid of saying the wrong things. She took on all the sensitive topics today, and it seemed that she was touching her bottom by Etel's order.
And that Etel was a secret at a young age and would have a bright future in the future. There must be some big shot behind him, perhaps the Foreign Minister Querman himself! It seems that his contact with Lenin has always been directly controlled by William Street (referring to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs).
"Captain, do you know who this Lenin is?" Etel took the topic and asked with a smile.
"I know!" said Hermann, "He was the leader of the Bolsheviks of the Russian Socialist Party and has been in exile in Switzerland since the failure of the revolution in 1905."
Etel nodded: "But it is not the Bolsheviks who control the Russian Provisional Government now, but Lenin's political enemies, the Cadets, the Progressives and the October Party."
Etel spoke word by word, while also paying attention to Hessman's expression. He was ordered to contact Lenin ten years ago in the name of "Mr. Green, a German Socialist," and provided him with a lot of funding. On December 28 last year, Etel also arranged a meeting between Lenin and the German Ambassador to Switzerland, Earl Von Romberg. At that time, the two sides discussed the possibility of Lenin returning to Russia through Germany... It can be said that Comrade Lenin was the key to the success or failure of Mr. Etel's career.
But Germany is not ten years ago now. The military power is expanding, and they have to make a move on everything. Lenin's "big cake" is naturally no exception.
However, Etel didn't care about the military's intervention. What he was worried about was that the military would ruin the matter. That was why he touched Hessman's bottom on the way to Switzerland, hoping that the other party could accept his views and allow him to continue to play a leading role in "helping" Lenin.
"If the Russian Provisional Government is unwilling to negotiate with us, then Lenin and his Bolsheviks are the only hope for the empire to restore peace on the Eastern Front, and their ability to make trouble cannot be underestimated." Etel said slowly, "Captain, you have been on the Eastern Front battlefield for a long time. You should know whether we have the ability to defeat them completely?"
"That's true. We don't have the ability to completely defeat Russia, at least we can't do it on the battlefield." Hessman admitted this very frankly. In fact, he didn't care at all about the German diplomat in front of him for Lenin's big cake, because the other party didn't know how big the cake was.
In fact, in Germany at present, no one except Hessman knows how big Lenin’s cake is, and he doesn’t know how to make the most of him!
"It is not enough to defeat Russia, occupy Warsaw, Riga, Brest and Verno, and even Minsk and Kiev are not enough to force Russia to fail completely. Moscow and Petersburg must be seized. But we certainly do not have such power."
Etel nodded with satisfaction and smiled: "Then, we can only try to resolve the Eastern Front with political means. The revolution that occurred last month put Russia in chaos. If we can support Lenin to further disrupt Russia, then peace on the Eastern Front is expected, and we will be undefeated by then. Just like during the Seven Years' War!"
The Seven Years' War took place between 1754 and 1763, almost the British-Prussian alliance against the entire European continent. Although Prussia had military geniuses like Fitrey the Great, it was still defeated by the three powerful enemies of France, Austria and Russia, and even Berlin was lost. But when Prussia was about to perish, the Russian Empress Elizabeth died of illness, and her heir was Peter III, the brainless fan of Fitrey the Great. He returned all the territory of Russia occupied Prussia, and then formed an alliance with Prussia, allowing Prussia to save his life.
