Tiflis Province, Turkey.

Until 1914, it was part of the Russian Empire, and after the outbreak of the Great War, the Turks joined the Central Powers in September, and the German-Turkish forces then launched an offensive in the Caucasus and captured the Russian provinces of Tiflis and Kutaisi, which were made up of the former Georgian principalities, and which were still occupied by the Turks despite a series of internal upheavals in Russia and its accession to the Central Powers.

In 1926, the province of Tiflis was not famous because of its mineral resources, nor because of a certain person born here, but because of the special policies of Germany and Turkey towards the Russian Revolutionary Party, the Russian Revolutionary Party, which had been severely attacked in Russia, was able to be protected by the Turkish military and police here, and most of the funds and weapons provided by Germany and Turkey were also handed over to the Revolutionary Party, so this province and the neighboring province of Kutaisi had already become one of the bases of overseas activities of the Russian Revolutionary Party.

In early April, the Caucasus temperature gradually warmed up, and the spring season in Gori, on the banks of the Kura River, was still visible in some corners, but the city founded by one of Georgia's greatest kings, David IV, had largely recovered its former appearance, and the 50,000-strong industrial town was not prosperous, and the aborigines and Turkish immigrants got along well.

One of the reasons why the Russian Revolutionary Party has set its headquarters in Turkey is the convenient transportation and safe location is one of the reasons, and for personal reasons, it is also the place where the current leader of the Revolutionary Party, Joseph Brown, is located. Vissarionovic. Stalin's hometown.

On this day, a number of important people gathered in a small wooden hut on the banks of the Kura River, dozens of armed men with pistols were vigilantly guarded within a radius of 100 meters, and farther away, Turkish military police on tall horses unceremoniously drove away nearby passers-by.

The interior of the cabin was clearly not opulent in decoration, but the floor was almost immaculately clean, and the rectangular wooden tables were lined with wooden chairs. Sunlight pours in directly through the east window, leaving no dark corner of the room.

Sitting at the end of the long table was a middle-aged man in his forties, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, a strong physique, a dignified and keen gaze, thick hair combed backwards, mixed with a little white silk, and two handfuls of Russian beard on his upper lip, he was Stalin, the general leader of the Russian Revolutionary Party and the revolutionary armed forces. Since Lenin's death, the entire Russian Revolution has had him at its core. However, under the iron-fisted policy of the Russian empress, the revolutionary situation in Russia in recent years is still not optimistic, and in all the battles with the so-called "empress guard" commanded by the empress's trusted generals, the revolutionary armed forces have not taken any advantage, and even the guerrilla warfare they are best at has lost its former power - it is said that the empress gathered a group of officers to form a special anti-guerrilla warfare research group, and trained many local personnel in the field of anti-guerrilla warfare for the Tsarist army.

Sitting on Stalin's right hand hand was his main assistant Sergei. Mironovic. Kirov, a loyal revolutionary and excellent military commander, is flanked on the left by Nikolai Murphy, a political theorist and economic expert from the party. Bukharin, who for a long time was in charge of the party's finances for Stalin. Others hold important positions within the party or at the local level. Of course, not all the strongmen in the revolutionary party gathered here, because the revolution went underground. The surviving commissioners of Lenin's era were scattered in various places, such as Zinoviev leading the local revolutionary armed forces in Ukraine, Trotsky in northeastern Russia, and Kamenev, Rykov and others.

Sitting directly across from Stalin was a special envoy from Germany, and next to him were the heads of the Turkish joints.

"I just want to know what we can gain and what we will lose if we actively cooperate with the German attack."

Stalin's tone was slightly cold. The German in front of him brought the news that Germany was preparing to attack Tsarist Russia under the Empress, and most of the members of the Xinming Party present thought that this would be a great opportunity for the re-emergence of the Russian Xinming power, but the meaning of Stalin's words was very intriguing: the ultimate goal of Germany was to defeat the Empress or to occupy Russia? Is the role of the revolutionary party a traitor to the state or a savior? All of this has a great deal to do with Germany's strategy.

"Under the reign of Terror of Diana I, the Russian people were in dire straits for a long time!

As a civilized country, we in Germany cannot sit idly by and watch such barbarism exist in the 21st century! ”

As soon as the German envoy finished speaking, Stalin unceremoniously said:

"Since we are sincerely sitting here to discuss such an important matter, let me ask Mr. Special Envoy to dispense with these high-sounding words!"

The envoy smiled, a little awkwardly.

"Well, since Mr. Stalin wants to hear something more practical. Then I will tell you, in my capacity as the Kaiser's envoy plenipotentiary, that Germany wants to eliminate the threat from the east, and according to the information we have, in the ten years from 1916 to 1926, Diana I, through her shrewd diplomacy, obtained a total of more than $1 billion in loans and supplies from the United States and Japan, especially from Southeast Asia and Japan, which greatly alleviated the famine in Russia, and her iron-blooded rule in Russia, although some panic caused in Russia, as long as there was food, Although the development of industry, agriculture, economy and trade is not obvious, it is an indisputable fact that the situation in Russia tends to be stable, and the empress's army is stronger than the Russian army in any previous period! For this reason, we in Germany have had to station a large number of troops in the Russian-German border area for a long time, which seriously affects the daily life of our people! ”

"The strength of the Empress may be a good thing for Russia!" Stalin's words surprised everyone present, and he continued without changing his face: "But what the people get is not a real happy life!" ”

"And it's a huge obstacle to the revolution in your country, isn't it?" The envoy said sympathetically and regretfully.

Stalin did not answer directly, but said: "The stronger the enemy, the stronger we must be, but this takes time and opportunity!" ”

The envoy said: "His Majesty the Kaiser has said that the ultimate goal of our Germany is to force the Empress to abdicate and then rule Russia by a soft, pro-German regime, after which we will not station a single soldier in Russia!" ”

"His Majesty the Kaiser really has no desires!" Stalin said with a half-smile, "Don't you even look down on the Ukrainian granary and the Baku oil fields?" ”

The envoy was stunned for a moment.

turned to smile and said: "Mr. Stalin is really a smart man!" If Ukraine and Baku were to be brought under German rule, then His Majesty the Kaiser would be more than happy to see Mr. Stalin's regime lead Russia! ”

"Lead Russia?" Stalin's tone became a little strange, "No one here wants to serve in a puppet government!" ”

The corners of the revolutionary party members were full of contempt.

"Mr. Stalin may have misunderstood, we have no intention of establishing a puppet regime, and His Majesty the Kaiser is willing to vouch for this with his personality!" The envoy hurriedly explained.

"Personality? Oh, the personality! Is the personality the time that I was placed under house arrest in Germany for the eldest woman for a year and 4 months? Stalin's bad words made the atmosphere in the cabin tense. At the end of 1914, as Lenin's special envoy, he went to East Prussia to pay a visit to the then Prince of East Prussia and commander of the German 8th Army. Prince William, then the new Tsar Aglini, treacherously launched a sudden and all-out attack. The Russian Revolutionary Party, which had already occupied half of the country, was caught off guard and finally lost the fruits of victory, and Stalin was also detained by the Germans in Germany in the name of "protection", and was not released back to Russia until early 1917. Stalin's stomach was furious when he remembered this experience, although the Germans did not abuse him, but it also made him miss the extremely important battle to defend the revolution, and he always felt that if he was in Russia, the revolutionary armed forces might not have lost so quickly and completely.

"Mr. Stalin, you ......" the envoy stood up with an angry face, as a German. As an envoy of the Kaiser.

He could not accept any attack on the Kaiser's life, even if it was true.

"I'm very sorry, but I didn't mean to slander His Majesty the Kaiser! Water under the bridge. We're working well together now anyway, aren't we? An even more unpredictable expression appeared on Stalin's face, for he had been silent for a long time since his return to Russia, but it took only a few months for him to return to the position of leader of the revolutionary party with the German Mark, and the suspicion of him in the party gradually diminished over time until it disappeared, and the die-hard opponents were either assassinated or arrested by the Russian government.

Seeing that Stalin had already made a statement, in order to get out of this awkward atmosphere, Nikolai Bukharin spoke:

"His Majesty the Kaiser is really rich! 15 million European marks. It's time to build a Graff-class battleship! ”

Although Bukharin was only 38 years old, he was one of the oldest members of the Russian Revolutionary Party, an important member of the Central Committee of the Revolutionary Party in Lenin's time, and in another world he vigorously opposed the "Treaty of Bretts" signed between Lenin and Germany to cede a large amount of land, and successively served as a member of the Politburo of the Central Committee and a member of the Supreme National Economic Committee, and was secretly executed in 1938 in the Great Purge launched by Stalin. In this world, however, the revolutionary db has united the vast majority of revolutionaries, and despite disagreements on some tactics and political views, Brolin and the 47-year-old Stalin have maintained good relations for a long time.

The envoy knew what the other party meant. "Let everyone laugh! The German government is currently recoordinating the domestic economy, so it is not financially able to give more help for the time being, but weapons, ammunition and military supplies are still very sufficient in Germany, as long as your party agrees to cooperate with the German ** team to fight, guns and ammunition will soon be shipped from Germany! ”

Brolin didn't say anything next, and then asked Kirov, Stalin's most loyal confidant and aide, who was assassinated in 1934 in the other world, and his death became the direct trigger for Stalin's purge.

"Presumably, the Turkish government will also send troops to Russia from this direction!"

The envoy politely told him, "I'm sorry, I don't have the right to say anything about this issue at the moment, the Turkish government has not yet made an announcement!" ”

Immediately afterwards, there was silence in the cabin for nearly two minutes, and Stalin, who had been in a pensive state, spoke very seriously:

"In that case, Mr. Special Envoy, we need a treaty, a treaty signed by His Majesty the Kaiser himself, which states that Germany will be completely withdrawn from Russia after the end of the war and will never be an enemy of the regime established by the Russian Revolutionary Party, in exchange for which Germany can legally occupy Ukraine, Finland and the provinces of Baku, Elizabeth and Bool, and in addition, we need a billion marks of economic aid, which your country can pay in installments over 20 years! If His Majesty the Kaiser accepts these demands, we will convene a Central Committee to discuss and vote, and as long as the vote is passed, we will cooperate with your country in the fight against the Empress Kaiser's army! ”

The envoy thought for a moment, "I must first obtain the opinion of His Majesty the Kaiser, and I am afraid it will take a few days!" ”

"It's okay, we're not in a hurry!" Stalin said very calmly.

The envoy then got up to take his leave, and then hurried to Tbilisi, where he arrived in Istanbul on a Turkish military plane and after several refueling trips, where Germany's longest-range airliner was parked at the airport, the Gotha GV 16-seater, a large bird with one wing and two engines, which could fly from western Turkey to Berlin in one go!

Three days later, the envoy returned to the city of Gori in Tiflis, this time with an affirmative reply from the Kaiser and a handwritten letter, and over the next few days the two sides discussed some details and quickly agreed upon, and the envoy flew back to Berlin again with the draft Treaty of Gori, while the Revolutionary Party under Stalin convened the National Central Committee in Gori, and since the three-member group headed by Stalin had already approved the treaty, the next vote did not seem to be too suspenseful.

On May 1, 1927, International Labor Day, a German envoy arrived in Gori with an original copy of the Treaty of Gori, signed by Stalin on behalf of the Russian Revolutionary Party. For the revolutionary party, although the two sides were only driven by common interests, in the face of another common enemy, it was an opportunity to make up for the failure of the cooperation between the two sides in 1914; For Stalin himself, his time under house arrest in Germany taught him many things, including the delicate relationship between friend and foe, interests, and promises, which made him more distracted when working with the Germans, and perhaps one day in the future the two sides would face off on the battlefield because of their conflicting interests, but at least for the time being, he had to fight for the Russian Revolution at all costs.
