Chapter 20 The Covenant

There were two men in their 30s sitting opposite Chen Tian, ​​one of whom was not injured among the two Russians he rescued in Vienna last time. The other one was thin and small, looking very similar to the legendary Comrade Lenin, but now he has a lot of hair and doesn't think of the "Mediterranean" type I saw in the portrait before. Chen Tian thought this was probably because he used his brain or used his head too much later. Overuse of his brain was extremely smart, and excessive use of his head was similar to Zidane.

Chen Tian was thinking about whether he would become thinner due to excessive use of his brain or excessive use of his head, the man spoke:

"Hello! His Highness, Your Highness!" He stood up and owed, saying in German: "I am Vladimir Ilych Ulyanov, which is what you call Lenin!"

"Oh! Lucky! I'll be happy! I've long admired my name!" Chen Tian wanted to rush up and ask him to sign an autograph, but he seems not to be popular these days. He can't help but shake hands with him. The great man's hand is indeed very... so warm!

"Haha! I didn't expect that His Highness the Prince actually knew my name. It's such a great honor!" Lenin smiled and sat back in his seat. "The Comrade Urlev you spoke to in Vienna has already conveyed it to me! But I want to know how you knew me, and I am still a small role in our party now. Fortunately, Comrade Urlev has worked with me, why are you interested in me?"

"Uh...this..." Chen Tian didn't know what to say for a moment. If he said it well, he could dispel Lenin's doubts. It would be easier to talk about things. If he couldn't say it well...

"Haha! Comrade Lenin, I am quite interested in your experience and I am more optimistic about your influence!" Chen Tian said and glanced at Lenin. There was no big expression on his face, but he just stood up very seriously.

"This, you were exiled to Siberia by the Russian Tsar. After the exile, you came to Western Europe and now you are publishing newspapers in Germany. Is it right?"

"Yes, Your Excellency Prince! It's just that our newspaper has just begun to be founded and is being released in a relatively secret way. You will know so soon! I'm really admiring!" Lenin raised his head and looked at Chen Tian, ​​with a hint of fear flashing in his eyes, but he soon returned to peace.

"Yes, your experience has tempered your revolutionary will, and your choice to issue newspapers will greatly increase your influence within your party, so I am very optimistic about you!" Chen Tian's understanding of Lenin's early revolutionary experience is limited to this. If he continues to ask, he may be in the country.

Lenin thought quietly for a while and said, "Okay! Your Highness the Prince! How do you want to cooperate with us?"

"Well, let's talk slowly next!" Chen Tian turned to the translator and said, "Translator, take this Comrade Urlev to have a good rest. I want to talk to Comrade Lenin alone!"

In his opinion, Urlev was only a high-level assassin at most, and the less he knew about these things, the better.

Lenin nodded at Urlev and asked him to go out with the translator.

"We have a common goal!" Chen Tian sat down next to him, "It's the Tsar and his empire!"

"Not bad! This is what my comrades and I have been working hard!" Lenin nodded.

"I can provide you with funds, weapons, and even..." Chen Tian stared in his eyes, "Your force and political support when you founded the country!"

Lenin's eyes lit up, but he quickly hid the joy.

"So what do we need to provide to you in exchange?" Lenin smiled.

This question hit the nail on the head, and it was true that a leader should have the judgment.

"Our German East needs a friendly country so that the war breaks out, so that the war will not face two fronts." Chen Tian stood up, walked to the front of the big map of the wall, and pointed to the location of East Prussia. "If our Germany and Russia war broke out, my East Prussia will be the first to be affected!"

Lenin fell into deep thought. Chen Tian continued:

"If you successfully overthrow the Tsarist rule, we can enter into a treaty of mutual assistance and alliances. You provide us with resources, and we can provide relevant technology, industrial or military technology!"

"But Russia is very powerful now!" Lenin walked to Chentian and looked at the map and said, "And it is vast! Maybe it will take us many years to overthrow this empire! Can you wait that long?"

"Although this rotten wood branch is huge, it is already rotten inside! As long as there is a thunderstorm, it will fall!" Chen Tian turned his head to look at Lenin, "15 years! I believe this empire will definitely collapse within 15 years!"

Lenin looked surprised. Although he thought that if Germany helped to overthrow Tsarist Russia, he felt that it might take decades.

"How can His Highness the Prince judge that Tsarist Russia will fall within 15 years?"

"First, the conflict of interest between Russia and Japan in Asia is becoming increasingly obvious. Russia will inevitably have a big war with Japan within five years. No matter who wins or loses, Russia's strength will be greatly reduced, and even lose most of its interests in Asia.

Second, within 10 years, the revolutionary forces in Russia will become stronger and stronger, and revolutionary uprisings will continue to break out, even if it can survive, it will be very weak.

Finally, and most importantly, in about 15 years, a war will break out in the world, and both Germany and Russia will be involved!" Chen Tian smiled at Lenin after saying that, "As long as the Tsar's army is severely damaged, you can take the opportunity to seize power!"

At this time, Lenin felt that the back was already cold. Although what the German prince in front of him said was speculation about the future, they were all very consistent with the current situation. Even if the time was not complete, the trend was obvious.

"Okay! Your Highness the Prince! Please allow me to go back and think about it, I will give you a reply in three days!"

"Okay! I'll be waiting for your grand journey at any time!" Chen Tian smiled. He felt that this future leader of Russia would definitely return here in three days. If he couldn't even see this, he would have a false reputation.

"Your Excellency, I have something to give to you!" Chen Tian sent Lenin to the door,

"In this world, there are no eternal enemies, no eternal friends, only eternal interests! Even if you are communists, we are imperialists!"

Lenin was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said:

"Thank you! Your Highness the Prince! I will remember this sentence!"

Three days later, Lenin came to Chentian's office again with a tired but joyful expression.

Afterwards, he reached a series of agreements with Chen Tian, ​​including:

1. Germany provides 1 million marks of funds to Lenin and the Russian Revolutionary Party every year;

2. According to the needs of Lenin and the Russian Revolutionary Party, Germany must try its best to provide them with sufficient arms, including various infantry weapons and artillery;

3. If a war breaks out between Germany and Russia, the Russian Revolutionary Party should try its best to provide information about the Russian army to Germany, but Germany must try its best to ensure the safety of the lives and property of Russian civilians.

4. When Lenin led the Russian Revolutionary Party to carry out a revolutionary war, Germany must provide effective political support to the Revolutionary Party and provide military support if necessary;

5. If the Russian Revolution led by Lenin succeeds and a new regime is established, Germany will form a mutual assistance alliance with their new regime, and Germany will provide economic and technical support, and the new regime of Russia will provide various resources to Germany.

6. This agreement will come into effect immediately, and Lenin and Prince Gigi William are responsible for the liaison and coordination between the two parties. The agreement will be valid for 50 years.

“Happy cooperation!”

Two pairs of big hands tightly held together...

On July 30, 1903, the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party held a congress in Brussels, and at which the Bolsheviks were formed with Lenin as the core. The Bolsheviks mean the majority. The emergence of the Bolsheviks and their ideological system marked the formation of Leninism.

The Russo-Japanese War broke out in February 1904. On September 5 of the following year, Russia was forced to sign the "Japan-Russia Peace Treaty" with Japan, the "Peace Treaty of Portsmouth", which declared Russia's complete failure in the 20-month Russo-Japanese War. Russia's domestic contradictions were sharp, and the war accelerated the arrival of a new revolutionary crisis, causing the Tsarist autocratic system to reach its grave.
