"Hey! Nikolai, what kind of party was the Bolsheviks? The German engineer sitting next to him whispered to the man next to him.

Nikolai was a manager at the Leningrad State Railway Company of the Soviet Union, where he assisted German engineers in the Soviet-German railway cooperation project.

"Bolsheviks? It's certainly great. Nikolai didn't lift his head.

"Really? I have heard that your father died at their hands. In Germany, we don't use the word 'great' to call our father-killer, Igor. The German said casually.

Nikolai clenched his fists sharply when he heard this, but then let go again, and asked in a low voice; "How do you know? What do you want? ”

Nikolai never told anyone around him about his background, and no one even knew that his original name was Igor, because in the Soviet Union, the identity of the 'son of a capitalist' was shameful and would bring disaster.

Nikolai, no, Igor's family has been in business since the 18th century, and their family owns several department stores in Moscow, which brought a lot of wealth to Iger's family. But in the hands of Igor's grandfather, the family began to decline, but in Moscow they still gained fame.

Igor's father was an aspiring man, and he devoted his life to the revitalization of the family, so he named his son Igor, a name that means blessed by the god of wealth in Russian.

But the god of wealth apparently did not bless his family just because his name was Igor. With his father's efforts, the family business finally improved, but what he didn't expect was that Russia was unlucky enough to encounter a world war, and under the order of the tsar, the entire empire began to enter a wartime system, and everyone had to donate money and materials to the country, and the Igor family was no exception.

In 1917, the third year of the war, the boiling grievances were finally vented. In the capital, Petrograd, 300,000 people began a general strike. After being brutally suppressed by the government. The strike turned into an armed uprising.

With the support of tens of thousands of soldiers, the people quickly captured the Winter Palace and government ministries of the tsar's lair.

The uprising in the capital was completely victorious, and the Tsar, seeing that the tide was turning, was forced to abdicate in favor of his brother Mikhail on March 15. The next day. Mikhail also announced his abdication, and the Romanov dynasty, which had ruled Russia for 304 years, was crushed by the February Revolution, and the bourgeois-democratic revolution in Russia was victorious.

Igor's father, who was far away in Moscow, wept unhappily when he heard that the oppressive Tsarist government had collapsed and that the bourgeois revolution had triumphed, because it meant that his family was finally revived.

But he did not expect that, along with the bourgeois Provisional Government, there was another regime - the Soviets of Workers' and Peasants' and Soldiers' Deputies led by the Bolsheviks.

In October, the Bolshevik armed forces led by Lenin launched a general assault on the Winter Palace of the bourgeois Provisional Government, which was overthrown.

The flames of revolution burned across Russia, and Moscow bore the brunt of it. A large number of capitalists were overthrown, and all the wealth of the Igor family was confiscated and state-owned. His father was killed red-handed by the Reds in the middle of the stop.

This hit Igor so hard that he changed his name to Nikolai, left Moscow, and went to Leningrad, which had not yet been renamed at the time, and found a job at the state railway company.

Since he grew up in a merchant family, he more or less understands the operation and management of the company, which is a rare management talent in a state-owned company with a large number of workers. So Igor was appointed manager, and this is where this is happening.

"No, no, no, you don't need to know how I know this. Forget it, it's better to work, Germanic people don't talk to spineless people. The German engineer gave Igor a contemptuous look.

"In our Soviet Union, no one will forget the revenge of killing our father! I'm not a spineless person, Russian men are bloody! Nikolai's grievances over the years were fully exploded, and he yelled at the engineer.

The German engineer looked at him in feigned surprise, laughed in his heart that his agitation had worked, and then said; "Oh, so you're still a bit of a man's blood. Then let me ask you again, are you dissatisfied with the current situation? ”

"Of course, I swear I'm going to avenge my father." Nikolai trembled with anger, and then walked to the door of the office with a steel pipe in his hand, he was going to seek revenge on the Bolsheviks.

The engineer was really taken aback this time, this fighting nation is worthy of its name, and it will be done when it is said. He hurriedly hugged Nikolai and persuaded; "Hey, hey! Man, calm down, calm down. Put down the steel pipe. Think about it, what can you do by rushing out like this? You can only kill one or two, and maybe you won't be able to kill even one or two. Can this be considered revenge? ”

You gradually calmed down when you heard this, and said; "What do you mean, what should I do?"

When the engineer heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said; "You're scheming. In this way, when my work here is done, I will ask your superiors for cooperation, so that our two countries can send talents to each other to study, and you will take the opportunity to return to Germany with me, where you can let go and do something, and after learning some knowledge, you can return to the Soviet Union and organize a group of people like you, and you can fight against tyranny together, which can be effective. ”

Nikolai bowed his head and pondered for a while, then said; "Great idea, thank you, brother." Then he asked suspiciously, "Why are you so good to me?" ”

The engineer pretends to be sophisticated; "Because I, like you, am full of resentment with the USSR."

The engineer was one of the five specially trained men who had been brought in, while the other four were trying to persuade others who were dissatisfied with the Soviet Union to stand up and resist.

These people will be taken to Germany under various names, where they will be thoroughly brainwashed, and then return to the Soviet Union to spread the idea of resistance to more people.

In later generations, this method of pulling people and brainwashing has a disgusting name - pyramid scheme.

Of course, this is just a borrowing of the method of pyramid schemes, and it is not as inhumane as later generations.

The Engineer continued, "You can't expose the spirit of rebellion right now, because you don't have enough strength, and rash exposure will only make your revenge fail." ”

"Eun, I understand." Nikolai had never seen such a professional rebel and was now convinced of the engineer, and would believe whatever he said.

The engineer nodded with a teachable expression, and continued; "Okay, then let's continue to work and finish the design of the railway, so that they can let their guard down against you."

The office fell silent again, as if nothing had happened.

In the late autumn of 1923, the espionage organization to which the Gestapo belonged officially developed in other countries.
