CHAPTER XX: The Covenant
Opposite Chentian sat two men in their mid-30s, one of whom was uninjured of the two Russians he had rescued in Vienna last time. The other, thin and small, resembles the legendary Comrade Lenin, except that now he has a lot of hair and does not want the "Mediterranean" type that he used to see in the portrait. Chen Tian thought that this was probably because he used his brain too much or his head too much, and overuse his brain was extremely smart, and the reason for using his head was similar to Zidane's.
Chen Tian was thinking about whether he would become thin because of overuse of his brain or his head, when the man spoke:
"Hello! Your Royal Highness! He stood up and bowed and said in German: "I am Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, that is, Lenin as you say!" ”
"Oh! Fortunately, I will be glad to meet you! I have admired the daimyo for a long time! Chen Tian really wanted to rush up and ask him to sign it, but it didn't seem to be like this in these years, so I couldn't help but shake his hand, and the great man's hand was really ...... It's so warm!
"Huh! I didn't expect His Royal Highness to know my name, what an honor! Lenin smiled and sat back in his seat, "The comrade Urlev you spoke to in Vienna has already conveyed it to me!" It's just that I want to know how you know about me, and why are you interested in me because I am still only a minor player in our party, and I have worked with Comrade Ullev at all? ”
"Uh...... This ...... "Chen Tian didn't know what to say for a while, and if he said it well, he could dispel Lenin's doubts, and it would be easier to talk about things, but if he couldn't say it well......
"Huh! Comrade Lenin, I am more interested in your experience and more optimistic about your influence! Chen Tian glanced at Lenin as he spoke, he didn't have much expression on his face, but he held it very seriously.
"Well, you were exiled to Siberia by the Russian Tsar, came to Western Europe after the exile, and now you publish newspapers in Germany. Is that right? ”
"Yes, Your Excellency! It's just that our newspaper has just started to be launched, and it's being distributed in a relatively secret way, you know so quickly! What a admiration! Lenin looked up at Chentian, a flash of horror in his eyes, but soon regained his composure.
"Yes, your experience has tempered your revolutionary will, and your choice to publish a newspaper will also greatly increase your influence within your party, so I am very optimistic about you!" Chen Tian's knowledge of Lenin's early revolutionary experience is limited to this, and if he asks any more, I am afraid that he will have to wear a state.
Lie thought quietly for a while and said, "Okay! Your Royal Highness! How would you like to work with us? ”
"Well, let's talk slowly!" Chen Tian turned to the interpreter and said, "Interpreter, you take this Comrade Urlev to have a good rest, and I want to talk to Comrade Lenin alone!" ”
In his opinion, that Urlev was just a high-ranking assassin at best, and the less he knew about these things, the better.
Lenin nodded at the Urlev and let him go out with the interpreter.
"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 on! Lenin nodded.
"I can provide you with funds, weapons, and even ......" Chen Tian stared into his eyes, "Your military and political support when you founded the country!" ”
Lenin's eyes lit up, but he quickly hid his joy.
"So in exchange, what do we need to offer you?" Lenin smiled.
The question hit the nail on the head, and sure enough, there is the judgment that a leader should have.
"We need a friendly country in the east of Germany, so that if war breaks out, we will not face a two-front war." Chen Tian stood up, walked to the large map on the wall, and pointed to the location of East Prussia, "If a war breaks out between Germany and Russia, my East Prussia will bear the brunt!" ”
Lenin fell into deep thought. Chen Tian continued:
"If you succeed in overthrowing the Tsar, we can conclude a treaty of mutual assistance and alliance, you provide us with resources, and we can provide the relevant technology, industrial or military technology!"
"But now Russia is strong!" Lenin walked up to Chentian, looked at the map and said, "And it's huge!" Maybe it will take us many years to overthrow this empire! Can you wait that long? ”
"The rotten branches of this rotten wood are huge, but they are rotten inside! All it takes is a thunderstorm and it will fall! Chen Tian turned his head to look at Lenin, "15 years! I believe that within 15 years this empire will collapse! ”
Lenin looked astonished, and although he thought that the hope of overthrowing Tsarist Russia had been greatly increased if there was German help, he thought it might take decades.
"How can His Royal Highness judge that within 15 years Tsarist Russia will fall?"
"First, the conflict of interests between Russia and Japan in Asia is becoming increasingly obvious, and Russia is bound to have a major war with Japan within five years. Whoever wins or loses will lose Russia's strength and even lose most of its interests in Asia.
Second, within 10 years the revolutionary forces in Russia will become stronger and stronger, and there will continue to break out in revolutionary uprisings of greater or lesser sizes, and even if they can survive it, it will already be very weak.
Finally, and most importantly, in 15 years or so, a great war will break out in the world, and we in Germany and Russia will be involved! After speaking, Chen Tian smiled at Lenin, "As long as the Tsar's army is heavily damaged, you can take the opportunity to seize power!" ”
At this time, Lenin felt that there was already a cold behind him, although what the German prince in front of him said was a speculation about the future, but it was very much in line with the current situation, even if the time was not entirely correct, the trend was obvious.
"Alright! Your Royal Highness! Please allow me to go back and think about it, and I will get back to you in three days! ”
"Okay! I'm here for you! Chen Tian smiled, he felt that in three days the future leader of Russia would definitely return here, and if he couldn't even see this, it would be in vain.
"Your Excellency, I have a message for you!" Chentian 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 Royal Highness! I'll remember that! ”
Three days later, Lenin returned to Chentian's office with a tired but joyful expression.
After that, he reached a series of agreements with Chentian, including:
1. Germany provides Lenin and the Russian Revolutionary Party with 1 million marks a year;
2. According to the needs of Lenin and the Russian Revolutionary Party, Germany must provide them with as much ammunition as possible, including all kinds of infantry weapons and artillery;
3. In the event of the outbreak of war between Germany and Russia, the Russian Revolutionary Party shall provide Germany with as much information as possible about the Russian army, but Germany shall do its best to ensure the safety of the lives and property of Russian civilians.
4. When Lenin led the Russian Revolutionary Party in the revolutionary war, Germany was required to provide effective political support and, if necessary, military support to the Revolutionary Party;
5. If the Russian Revolution led by Lenin succeeds and a new regime is formed, Germany forms an alliance of mutual assistance with their new regime, with economic and technical support from Germany, and the new Russian regime provides Germany with all kinds of resources.
6. This Agreement shall enter into force immediately and shall be entered into force by Lenin and Gigi. Prince William is responsible for liaison and coordination between the two sides. The agreement is valid for 50 years.
"Happy working together!"
Two large pairs of hands clasped tightly together......
On July 30, 1903, the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party held a congress in Brussels, at which the Bolsheviks with Lenin at the core were formed, which means majority. The emergence of the Bolsheviks and their ideology marked the formation of Leninism.
The Russo-Japanese War broke out in February 1904, and on September 5 of the following year, Russia was forced to sign the Japan-Russia Peace Treaty with Japan at Portsmouth, also known as the Portsmouth Peace Treaty, declaring Russia's complete defeat in the Russo-Japanese War, which lasted 20 months. The domestic contradictions in Russia were acute, and the war accelerated the advent of a new revolutionary crisis, which brought the tsarist **** system to the grave
In November 1905, after the outbreak of the bourgeois-democratic revolution in Russia, Lenin returned to his homeland to directly lead the revolution and put forward the tactics of the proletarian party in the democratic revolution. In December, the armed uprising in Moscow failed, and Lenin began a second exile that lasted more than a decade. During this period, he wrote a series of works, such as "Materialism and Empirical Criticism" and "Marxism and Revisionism", which enabled Marxism to develop in an all-round way. After the outbreak of the First World War, Lenin put forward the slogan "Turning the imperialist war into a civil war", expounding the theory that socialism can win first in one or several countries.
