The Austro-Hungarian Empire was about to fall, and even the Germans of the empire were going to "national self-determination". And the Hungarians have understood that their beloved Hungarian homeland is about to face a cruel fate. Woodrow. Johnson's "Fourteen Points of Peace Terms" was by no means intended to liberate Hungary, but to dismember it. It was absolutely impossible for Hungary to achieve the goals of the revolution of 1848. The independent and united Greater Hungary for which Kossuth fought could never have emerged. What the Entente was ready to impose on the Hungarians was a much smaller state, about 25 to 30 percent of the territory of Greater Hungary. In addition, millions, if not tens of millions, of Hungarians will become a foreign "minority". This is unacceptable to any patriotic Hungarian.

So after the "minorities" in the territory of Austria-Hungary began one by one to declare autonomy or independence. By October 30, 1918, on the third day of the Czech Revolution. Budapest, the capital of Hungary, has also become a sea of revolution! Hungarians with autumn roses on their chests poured into the streets like a tidal wave, and then there was the mutiny of the Hungarian Defence Forces. That night, the demonstrations and mutinies turned into armed uprisings! The next day, Budapest fell into the hands of the insurgents.

Although the leader of the Hungarian Social Democratic Party, Mihai . Caroli also tried to maintain a united Austro-Hungarian Commonwealth - not stupidity, but true love! Any German officer who has studied Austria-Hungary a little knows that the Hungarians love Austria-Hungary more than the Germans. Because the Germans still had Greater Germany (German-Austrian merger), and the Hungarians could only have a Greater Hungary by allied themselves with the Germans. Of course, there are also some Hungarians who have realized that they can no longer rely on Germany, but will have to fight on their own.

On November 1, the Hungarian revolutionary socialists (the predecessor of the Hungarian Bolshevik Party) organized a mass mass meeting and announced the unanimous demands of the working people of the country: the immediate establishment of a republic and the severance of all ties with the dynasty! At the same time, many Soviets of Engineer and Soldier Deputies have sprung up all over Hungary - of course, they are also unoffended ancestors, and they are sure to make Hungary as chaotic as Russia. And this was an opportunity that came a little too early for the Hungarian Bolsheviks, who had not yet been formally formed!

And just as the Austro-Hungarian Empire was about to come to an end, the revolutionary storm was about to sweep through all of Central Europe. A train that looked like it was about to break up arrived at the railway station in Riga, which seemed to be a place insulated from the revolution. Inside the train station, it is in good order. The platform was bustling with workers loading and unloading goods, passengers getting on and off the train, and people who came to pick them up.

Chloe, Hersman's fiancée, was waiting on the platform with a dozen or so Stacy agents in civilian clothes. Seeing that the train was stopped, he craned his neck and looked around. Suddenly, she seemed to see the traveler she was waiting for and shouted.

"Lady Colontai, Lady Colontai! I'm here! ”

It turned out that she was going to greet Mrs. Koluntai, a secret envoy of Soviet Russia who had come all the way from Moscow. After Hersmann telegraphed Hindenburg's agreement to send arms to Budapest and to Moscow with the news that he wanted to keep in touch with the Bolsheviks. Lenin immediately put Madame Kollentai and the representatives of the Hungarian Bolsheviks on the fastest train and secretly went to Riga, the capital of the United Principalities of the Baltic - in this era of drastic change, all possibilities existed, so that Comrade Lenin would not rule out any options, including secretly maintaining relations with the Germans in the face of a superficial tear.

"Comrade Koluntai, someone is calling you." Getting off the train with Korentai was Vasily, a Chinese carrying a large leather suitcase. Yellow, who has pointed ears and is a tall man, spotted Chloe. "It's Ms. Heinsberg, she's coming to pick us up at the train station."

and Vasily. Huang disembarked from the train and was a young white man in his early twenties, tall and stocky, with a large face, piercing eyes, and a hooked nose that made him look a little treacherous. He followed Vasily. Yellow finger looked in the direction, then frowned.

"There are a lot of plainclothes agents there!"

"Najib, that's the Stasi Warrior." Mrs. Kollontai turned her head and said in Hungarian to the man with the hooked nose. "These people are the Checas of the Baltics!"

"Not yet a secret police in the service of the Bolo bourgeoisie and landlords?" The Hungarian named Nagy shrugged, "How are they different from the secret police of the Austro-Hungarian emperor?" ”

"Of course it's different!" "If you are caught by Karl I's secret police, you will be treated like ******, you will be served in a good prison, you will be fed better than outside, you will not have to work, and there will be many famous lawyers running for you, and you will be released in a short time." If you fall into the hands of Stasi, you will be mercilessly beaten for three days and three nights without sleep, and then you will either betray the revolution or be shot! ”

"Oh my God, Comrade Colontai, what you said is true?"

"Of course it's true!" "This is how our organization in Polo was destroyed by them!" ”

In fact, the destruction of the various Soviets in the United Duchy of the Baltic was the result of the joint efforts of the Wehrmacht and the Stasi, and it was the Wehrmacht that played the main role in this. Compared to the Wehrmacht, the Stassie is a relatively new institution after all, and most of its personnel have either just completed their training or are in the process of being trained. And their training has little to do with spy work - Stasi is still a long way from being truly powerful.

However, in the early days of its existence, Stasi had already shown enough ferocity!

While the two were talking in Hungarian, Chloe had already approached with a couple of Stacy agents.

"Alexandra, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Chloe, so do I."

Colonte and Chloe hugged and kissed each other as if they were best friends. Then Koluntai pointed to the two behind him and said: "This is Vasily, whom you have known since you were in Petrograd. This is Najib. Imre, who is a Hungarian, a representative of Comrade Bella. ”

"Comrade Imre, it's a pleasure to meet you." Chloe stepped forward to shake Najib's hand and greeted him in rusty Hungarian. In fluent German, he replied, "I'm glad too, ma'am." ”

"What about Ludwig, I thought he was going to come to the train station?" Kollontai asked Chloe, "Isn't he just out of Riga?" ”

Chloe said: "He's in Riga, because something big has happened, so he's giving a speech in the square outside the train station, and we'll see him when we go out." ”

In the square outside the station, a rally was taking place at the moment, and people were holding black crosses on a white background - the flag of the United Duchy of the Baltic - and they were still wearing the gray uniforms of the German Army, but they were clearly not German soldiers, there were no badges or ranks on their uniforms, and most of them were old men and teenagers.

Still, they formed a fairly neat formation in the square, as if the army was being reviewed. Outside these neat formations were the masses dressed in the clothes of the common people, mostly Latvians living in Riga, looking at the organized Germans in horror and bewilderment.

The policy of relocating Latvians was carried out somewhat slowly, as a result of the reluctance to resort to overly drastic measures. In the past few months, less than 150,000 Latvians have been properly resettled in northern Lithuania, and they have all been given more land than they had - in the former provinces of Kurland and Livland, Latvians are mostly poorer.

And not a single citizen of the city of Riga was driven away. According to the population statistics of the Courland Autonomous State, there are still more than 400,000 Latvians in the Courland Autonomous State! In addition, there are many hard-to-verify German-Latvian ethnicities that will be recognized as Germans.

On the opposite side of the railway station waiting building, on a makeshift wooden platform, Hersmann, in full military uniform, was addressing 10,000 Polo - the skills he had learned in the Russian Revolution could now finally be used in Polo!

“…… Today, I would like to take this opportunity to address you, because our nation has reached a critical moment of survival.

At 10 o'clock this morning, Austria-Hungary, a great power of the Germans, gave up the struggle, gave up all hope of survival, and surrendered unconditionally to an enemy determined to destroy her! Half a month ago, the emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Karl I, who was bent on ending the war and achieving peace, had already issued a statement accepting the words of US President Woodrow. Johnson's Fourteen Points for Peace Terms. It was the President of the United States who, since January of this year, has been babbling assurances to all of Europe that he wants to bring about a just peace, provided that we, the Germans, accept the Fourteen Points for Peace that he has proposed.

Karl I accepted, and for this ruined the millennial dynasty of the Habsburgs and the great Austro-Hungarian Empire. But what about a just peace? Where is it? Woodrow. What about Johnson's assurances? And where is it?

As it turns out, Woodrow. Johnson and his country have no credibility! Their guarantees are worthless! It is a lie that deceives our German nation! Don't say anything: The Americans had no way to convince Britain and France! Everyone knows that the Americans are the saviors of British and French imperialism, and Britain and France simply cannot afford to lose the United States. A little more than a year ago, we were on the verge of winning the war and achieving true justice, solidarity and lasting prosperity in Europe. If it weren't for the millions of Americans armed to the teeth from across the Atlantic, a great Europe with the German nation at its core would have emerged!

Today's unconditional surrender of Austria-Hungary and the repeated refusal of the United States to negotiate with the German Empire on the basis of the Fourteen Points of Peace only illustrate the fact that the United States is here to destroy Germany and Europe, not to help us......

What should we do to the Baltic German compatriots in the face of such a shameless, murderous enemy bent on destroying us? ”
