Chapter 64 Someone has to go to pull hatred

At this time, a girl named Natalie had already brought a few people suspected of Hungarian revolutionaries to meet Chloe.

"Chloe, who is this person? Can you introduce it to me?" Natalie looked at Hessman with a playful and curious look.

"Ludwig Hessman, my fiancé." Chloe did not say "Feng" who symbolized the status of aristocrats. In the Soviet Union, aristocrats were not very popular.

"Ludwig, she is Natalie Lesinskaya, my friend," said Chloe, "she works in the Bolshevik Foreign Central League."

"Hello, Comrade Lesinskaya." Hessman smiled and stretched out his right hand and shook Natalie.

Natalie smiled charmingly: "Welcome to Russia, are you here to attend the Third International Founding Conference?"

The Third International will be established soon, which happened in March 1919. It is September 1918, and many foreign revolutionaries are coming one after another.

"No, no." Hessman pointed at Chloe with a smile, "We are not Bolsheviks, nor are we members of the Socialist Party or Workers Party. We are just friends of the Russian Bolsheviks. I heard that Comrade Lenin was assassinated, so he rushed from Riga overnight."

"Oh, then are you and Chloe transferring in Pskov, right?"

There is no direct train from Riga to Moscow, but to transfer in Pskov, which is to facilitate the Bolsheviks to control the passage in and out of Russia. Although the road from the Soviet Union to foreign countries has not been blocked, it has become increasingly difficult to walk.

"Yes," Hessman replied, "I hope I can take the train to Moscow immediately."

"That's a coincidence. Now there is a special train to Moscow, which was booked by our Central Bolshevik Alliance." Natalie Lesinskaya said, "This train is great, and there are a lot of empty private rooms on it. I can ask Comrade Bella to take you both."

"That's great, Natalie, thank you so much." Chloe looked very happy. She turned to Hessman and said, "Everything in the Central League is the best in Russia. Now we can comfortably go to Moscow."

Now the supply of various sources in the Soviet and Russian jurisdictions is very tight, and even the rationing of Moscow and Petrograd is so low that it is difficult to fill the stomach. Moreover, the Bolsheviks of this era have no privileges and bureaucracy, and they basically share the joys and sorrows with the people.

The Bolshevik Central Alliance was the only department with special supplies because they were responsible for entertaining foreign revolutionaries. The Russian Bolsheviks treated them very favorably and cared for, and many foreign revolutionaries in Moscow even equipped carriages.

The conversation suddenly stopped, and someone called Natalie Lesskaya's name. Lesskaya asked Hesman and Chloe to wait at the "Special Passage" exit. Then he led a few Hungarians to an office with the "Foreign Central Alliance Reception Office".

"That Natalie is Cheka's person?" After completing the clearance procedures, Hessman whispered to Chloe beside him.

"I don't know, but Chika, the Bolshevik Foreign Central Alliance, the People's Committee of Foreign Affairs or the Military Revolutionary Committee, is actually no different in Russia. They are all organs of the Bolshevik Party, and their staff are all soldiers of the Bolshevik Party."

The Russian Bolsheviks in 1918 were so powerful! Although there were only tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of party members, almost everyone was a party soldier. This is impossible to compare with the Russian White Guards! They did not have a core of leadership at all, and the so-called "White Guards" were just a general term. In fact, there was no unified White Army, nor a leader who could command all of them. Therefore, the conflicts within the White Guards were no smaller than those of their conflicts with the Bolsheviks.

"Oh, you're right." Hessman nodded, and then found two secluded chairs with Chloe at the exit of the "Special Passage" and sat down, waiting for Natalie to get a box to Moscow for them. This must be the arrangement of the foreign central alliance. Chloe informed the Kremlin of Hessman's coming to Moscow in advance, and then had a chance encounter with Natalie. But I don't know what other scenes are going to be on?

"Ludwig, this is the report of Lieutenant Stockhausen." Chloe took out a notebook from his handbag and handed it to Hessman.

Stockhausen is now working as a military adviser to Trotsky in the name of "German military expert". He will write a war situation notice to the headquarters of the Russian and German company every month, and also suggest what kind of weapons the Russian and German company should provide to the Red Army.

Hessman took the notebook and looked through it. There were many things written on it. First, he reported a battle that was being fought near Ufa, which was against the cabinet and the government.

The current Belarusian army is divided into about three parts, the Ufa cabinet controlled the army (provisional government); the Southern Russian armed forces led by Denikin and Kornilov. The former's main force was the Czech Legion, which received a large amount of assistance from the Allies, with a population of more than 100,000. The latter's main force was the Don Cossacks, who were loyal to the Tsar and were supported by the Ukrainian Central Lada, which might want to use them to weaken the Bolshevik forces. The Far East White Guards controlled by Semenov were supported by Japan and the United States.

In addition, in the autonomous state of Estonia and Finland, which belongs to the United Principal of Polo, many Tsarist Russian nobles and officers who opposed the Bolsheviks were gathered. They were headed by Yudenic, the former commander-in-chief of the Russian Caucasus Front, and also supported the Tsar against the Bolsheviks. Moreover, these people also received the support of General Goldz and Finland! However, they have not yet organized an anti-Bolshevik armed force.

These White Guards, including Yudenic's troops who had not yet really raised their armed forces, had a total of hundreds of thousands of people, much less than the Red Army. Apart from Semenov, the other two routes did not have reliable sources of weapons and equipment. Although they occupied most of Russia's territory, those were sparsely populated areas, and the White Guards did not establish reliable local regimes - most of the regimes in those places were controlled by the Social Revolutionary Party and the Mensheviks, and they were considered cooperative relations with the White Guards.

It is impossible for them to defeat the Bolsheviks.

What really worried the Bolsheviks were the two foreign interference armies! The British-French-US coalition forces entrenched in Murmansk and Arkhangsk, as well as the Allied Intervention Army, which landed in Vladivostok in August.

Now Lenin and other Bolshevik leaders are very worried that the interference army that is currently entering Russian territory is just the vanguard! With the defeat of the Allies, the Allies will definitely regard interference in the Russian civil war as their top priority after the war. The countermeasures that the Bolsheviks can take can only use the theory of world revolution to support the socialist party in Eastern and Central Europe to launch the revolution.

At the end of the report, Stockhausen believed that the Russian Bolsheviks are currently supporting revolutionaries from all over the country without any financial resources, and are still preparing for the founding of the Third International Conference, in order to create trouble for the Allies, restrain their energy, and avoid the expansion of interference.

In other words, the Bolsheviks need a first bird to pull hatred and attract the attention of the Allies!

Hessman closed his notebook, thinking that Polo's United Principality would not be the first to be the first bird. Natalie had already brought a middle-aged man in his early forties, with a thick beard and a round dough face from the other end of the special passage.
