"Lenin!"

Hersman called out the name and his eyes widened sharply at the signature oversized forehead of the revolutionary mentor sitting on a bench.

Lenin had a blue blanket over his lap, a gray scarf over his shoulders, a thin wooden board and an open paddle book on his knees, and a pen in his hand, writing something with his head down. Blowing from the snow-covered peaks of the Alps lifted Lenin's notebook. He was about to finish his day's writing and go to the restaurant to have dinner with his wife, Krupskaya, and his confidante, Armand, when he heard someone shouting his alias. He looked up and looked in the direction from which the voice had come from, only to see his old friend Max. Green, along with Green's beautiful sister Eva, and another young man he didn't know walked briskly. The shout seemed to be made by the young man.

"Hello, Comrade Lenin!" Hersmann stepped forward quickly and excitedly extended his right hand to Lenin - not only because he had seen the legendary mentor, but also because he saw in him the hope of the Third Reich.

Lenin was stunned, the young man obviously knew him, but he did not remember seeing him. However, out of politeness, the revolutionary mentor still stood up and reached out to shake the other party.

"This gentleman, do you know me? Have we ever met? ”

"Yes, of course I did, on Red Square in Moscow!" Hersmann's eyes widened and he looked at Lenin with interest. This Lenin was much younger and more energetic than he had seen on his last trip to Moscow.

"Moscow...... Red? Lenin struggled to recall, and could not recall that he had ever seen the gentleman in front of him on Red Square in Moscow.

"I don't think you saw me at that time, I just looked at you from afar." Hersman explained with a smile. He didn't lie to his mentor, he did see Lenin on Red Square in Moscow - at Lenin's tomb! And Lenin at that time just lay quietly and did not move.

"Oh, I see." Lenin thought to himself that he had not been to Moscow for more than ten years, and if the young man in front of him had seen him in Moscow, he would have been a child by then, right?

"Then you are ......" Lenin asked with a smile as he became interested in the youth in front of him.

"I'm Otto. Braun, a German Socialist. "Hersman lied in all seriousness.

"Oh." Lenin glanced at the "Grimm brothers and sisters" who were walking quickly, and said in his heart: This young man who came with them should also be a representative of the German government, right? Don't know who's behind it? If only the General Staff of the Germans. The situation in Russia was changing rapidly, and most of his own and Bolshevik comrades were in exile abroad. Without the help of the Germans, there would be no way to return to the country, let alone make a revolution.

"Feradimir. Ilyich, I'm glad to see you. ”

"Me too, Oscar, it's great that you're here in Akiyowiez."

"Feradimir. Ilyich, I'm married, it's my husband Otto. Braun, who was my classmate at the University of Munich, was a Socialist. ”

"Eva, that's great, congratulations."

Heinsberg and Ettel had by this time gone up to Lenin, and the three of them deceived each other - although Lenin had already seen through the "Grimm brothers and sisters", he still pretended to know nothing - and then they embraced, which showed that they knew each other very well.

"You're here just in time, it's Armand preparing dinner today, and there is delicious French food." Lenin took the hand of the "brothers and sisters of Grimm" and walked towards the house.

It was a three-storey building, built of the most common wood in the Alps. It's not luxurious, but it's clean inside. Lenin rented two rooms with his two women, and he sometimes spent the night with Krupskaya, but more often with the Frenchwoman Armand.

The mentor's wife and confidante were well acquainted with the "Grimm siblings" and welcomed them very well, especially Heinsberg, who brought some delicious food every time he arrived, either corned beef or beef tongue and lamb shoulder. For the Akiyoshiweize Sanatorium, which only serves dairy products, these delicacies are very rare.

In addition, Heinsberg would have prepared some very special "gifts" for Lenin - an up-to-date list of the major libraries in Zurich or Bern.

Libraries in Switzerland are so attentive that you don't have to come to your home at all, you can borrow any book by sending a postcard with the address of the application to the library. This was very helpful for Lenin's research work.

Hersmann, Etter, and their mentor sat down at a small desk, while Armand, a beautiful Frenchwoman, brought them a fragrant cup of Russian coffee—egg yolk, milk, chocolate, vodka, sugar, cream, and coffee. Heinsberg and Kruskaya were busy preparing dinner in the kitchen.

Hersman took a sip from a cup of coffee, and frowned slightly when he found that there was liquor in it. Lenin, who had been observing Hersmann, saw this subtle change in expression and said with a smile: "Comrade Braun, are you not used to drinking Russian coffee?" He spoke Russian.

"It's a little unaccustomed to vodka in it?" Hersman also replied in Russian, saying that he did not speak Russian in his previous life, but was able to speak after being reborn as Hirschman. "But I still like it, because in Germany there is neither coffee nor milk anymore, and I haven't tasted both for a long time."

This lie is very unclever, and looking at Hersman's figure and complexion, you can see that he definitely does not lack the moisture of milk.

But Lenin didn't care about this, he just sighed: "Germany just doesn't have coffee, there is a lack of milk, and maybe there is not much meat." But in Russia, even black bread is running out! He took a sip from his coffee cup, "But the Russian Provisional Government, like the Tsar, only thinks about war!" ”

"Because they are as stupid as the tsar," Hersman lightly hammered down the table with his fist, "and they simply do not realize who the real enemy of Russia is?" ”

"That's right! They don't realize it! Ettel echoed. Lenin, on the other hand, looked at Hersmann while drinking his coffee.

Hersmann accentuated his tone: "In fact, both Germany and Russia are objects of containment by the British Empire, and both are enemies opposed by the international capitalist bloc that controls the British Empire!" Even France, our old rival of the Germans, suffered the same hardships of the British. When Napoleon's empire was at its peak, Britain organized anti-French alliances again and again. When Russia was strong, the British united with France and Turkey to wage war (the Crimean War). When Prussia-led Germany rose to revival, Britain co-opted France and Russia...... In fact, Britain's policy is to allow us European powers to kill each other in order to maintain the rules of the game for the international capitalist bloc to dominate the world! ”

"Oh?" Lenin did not agree with Hersmann's arguments, and his tone was sarcastic. "I think you must think that Britain has something to do with this...... Is the plot of the international capitalist bloc about to be crushed by the German Reich? ”

Hersmann looked at Lenin, "Why do you have such a judgment?" ”

"Isn't the situation clear?" Lenin shrugged, "The main reason for the revolution in February was not against the tsar, but against the war!" If the Provisional Government is able to make peace with Germany in accordance with the will of the people, then it will be able to stabilize. In this way, Germany and Austria-Hungary will be able to transfer a large number of troops from the Eastern Front to the Western Front, and they will be enough to destroy France! ”

Hersman shook his head: "But what if the interim government is unwilling to negotiate peace?" ”

"Yes, they don't!" Lenin sneered, and although he was in Switzerland, he still had access to important information in Russia. "They will continue to fight, regardless of the fact that the Russian army is disintegrating! The fools (i.e., the Cadets, the Progressives, the Mensheviks, and the Socialist-Revolutionaries) were so naïve that they would be able to win in place of the Tsar. But the harsh reality will teach them a lesson, it will also educate the Russian people, and then there will be a second revolution! It would be the Bolsheviks who would be in power at that time, and the Bolsheviks were genuinely willing to achieve peace. Wouldn't it be possible for Germany and Austria-Hungary to divert the armies of the Eastern Front to the Western Front? ”

Hersman's face sank, he leaned back in his hard chair and sighed: "But the United States, like Britain, is also manipulated by the international capitalist bloc!" Once there is a possibility that Britain will lose its hegemony in the world, the United States will certainly adopt a policy of even more hostility to Germany under the manipulation of the international capitalist bloc! ”

"International capitalist bloc?" Lenin groaned and asked, "Comrade Braun, do you mean that capitalism in the world is one?" The present war, however, has shown that there are different groups of international capitalism...... Basically every capitalist country is controlled by the capitalists in their own country, and it is only when the capitalist countries compete for the markets and raw materials of the colonies that a great war breaks out between them. ”

Hersmann shook his head and retorted: "Comrade Lenin, I think you should note that capital can flow across borders, they can flow from one country to another. A consortium originating from two countries can also merge into a consortium through capital operation, or hold each other so that the two consortiums have common interests. Through this cross-border capital flow and operation, a group of super-large conglomerates that can dominate many countries or even the entire world will eventually emerge. ”

"I think it's just your conjecture," Lenin said, "or at some point in the future when there will really be big conglomerates that can dominate several countries." But now it is clear that there is no such big consortium. Otherwise this world war would not have broken out, would it? ”

"It just shows that the big multinational corporations don't control all the countries yet," says Hirschmann, "and that some countries are not dominated by capital, but by statist ********, such as the German Empire!" Therefore, the multinational consortium that controlled Britain and the United States did everything possible to contain Germany, which eventually caused this war.
