"Ludwig, Kuhn, Chloe, you're all together." Lenin sat in an easy chair and beckoned to Hersman and Bella, who were visiting the Kremlin. "The doctor told me to recuperate, so I had to sit honestly. Sit down, sit, sit. ”

"Vladimir. Ilyich, does your injury matter? Listen to Chloe, you have been shot three times, it is very dangerous! ”

Hersmann shook hands with Lenin, then sat down on a green couch with Chloe sitting beside him. Kuhn. Bella sat on another couch.

Lenin lazily waved his hand: "It is not as serious as the legend, but it is necessary to publicize it more seriously, so as to arouse the fighting spirit of the broad masses of the proletariat." Ludwig, you know what? The Eastern Front has reached a critical juncture in the fighting, and it is in need of a fighting spirit so that we can quickly defeat the reactionary Provisional Government. ”

A big arrest is also needed to clean the interior! Lenin's assassination is clearly the best excuse! However, this is not a bad thing for Hersman, not to mention whether the Great Purge of Soviet Russia will cause harm to Russia. The mere repercussions of this "negative material" in Germany would have given Hersmann's Stacy more support.

"Ludwig, you're on the way with Kuhn. Comrade Bella talked about it? Lenin, in a moderate tone, steered the conversation to the collapsing Austro-Hungarian and Hungarian revolutions.

"We've talked about it." Hersmann glanced at the Hungarian revolutionary, "We all agree that Austria-Hungary cannot be sustained, and Woodrow. The "Fourteen Points for Peace" proposed by Johnson, the old fox, would also exacerbate the collapse of the empire. In addition, we agreed that the Entente would not agree that Hungary would become a second Soviet Russia. Moreover, after the collapse of Austria-Hungary, Hungary would be rather isolated. ”

Romania and Serbia were both members of the Entente, and they were victorious, and of course there would be no revolution.

And the forces of the Czech Socialist Party Left Yi are small and negligible. Moreover, the Czech prisoners of war in Russia all participated in the "Czech Legion" and fought against the Bolsheviks, so you can imagine how the Czech people were in the heart.

The Polish **** was powerful, and the Polish Legion, with the support of Germany, already had more than 100,000 men, which was enough to suppress the Polish Socialist Party Zuoyi.

As for the situation in Austria, which was similar to that of the Czech Republic, the Left Yi radicals were too weak, and Austria was a German country, and in the event of a Soviet revolution, it would certainly be subject to armed intervention by Germany. Moreover, Hersmann believed that the goal pursued by the Austrian Germans, who had lost their empire, would be to merge with Germany and realize their dream of a great power with a Greater Germany.

"The revolution is bound to happen in Hungary," said Kuhn. Béla took up the topic and said with great certainty, "Because it is impossible for the Entente to allow Hungary to continue to exist as a great power." The Hungarian nation can only be confronted by the most radical means! ”

He paused and strengthened his tone: "And the Hungarian resistance is also extremely advantageous for the consolidation of the Russian Soviet government. For the emergence of Soviet power in Hungary meant that the socialist revolution had spread beyond the borders of Russia and into Central Europe and the Balkans. ”

"This is something that the Entente cannot allow!" Hersmann also said, "Britain, France, and the United States will certainly make the extinguishing of the Hungarian Revolution a top priority." In this way, the pressure on Soviet Russia would be greatly reduced. ”

If things get bigger, it's also good for Germany and the United Principalities of the Baltics! In the event of a socialist revolution in Hungary, it would become a target for attracting the firepower of the Entente. Moreover, if the Entente could not extinguish the Hungarian Revolution in a short time, their oppression of Germany could only be lessened, lest the revolution spread to Germany.

"The Hungarian Revolution was also good for Germany!" Lenin hit the nail on the head when he looked at Hersmann. "I suppose Germany will support the Hungarian revolutionaries in their war with the Entente, right?"

"No, it won't." Hersmann shook his head and said, "Because by the time the socialist revolution took place in Hungary, Germany had probably already been defeated. Vladimir. Ilyich, do you think that a defeated Germany still has the strength to support the revolution in Hungary? ”

"You should send weapons to Budapest in advance for storage," Lenin said immediately, "and it can be done!" ”

"But not unconditionally!" Hersman looked at his mentor with a look of helplessness and expectation. "The socialist revolution in Hungary was no less a great threat to Germany."

Lenin asked: "What conditions?" ”

Hersman stretched out two fingers of his right hand: "Two conditions: one, to Karl. Liebknecht and Rosa. Luxembourg wrote to persuade them not to start a socialist revolution in Germany...... In fact, it doesn't do them any good to do that! ”

This condition was given to him by telegram from the Great General Staff before Hirschmann left Riga. In Hersman's view, however, such a letter was of little value. Lenin probably saw it that way, too, and he just nodded noncommittally.

"Second, agree with Olga. Grand Duchess Nikolaevna became the monarch of the United Duchy of the Baltic after the armistice. and signed the Non-Aggression Pact with the United Principalities of the Baltics. ”

"It can't be!" Lenin immediately shouted, and he shook his head with a look full of anger. "Olga. Grand Duchess Nikolaevna was a member of the Romanov dynasty, she was the daughter of the tsar! ”

"That's why we need her to be the monarch of the United Duchy of the Baltics!" "She has legitimacy, and she will make the Entente think that the Baltic United Duchies are the sworn enemies of Soviet Russia!" ”

"Isn't it?" Lenin asked rhetorically in a cold tone. "The United Principality of the Baltic has formed a secret police organization called 'Stasi', and if our comrades fall into the hands of this organization, it will be a dead end!"

You can also betray the revolution! Hersman retorted inwardly. And Stasi is only a sketch now, and there aren't too many spies active, so not many people are caught. At present, the main repressive force of the United Principalities of the Baltic States is actually the Baltic Guards, who execute far more revolutionaries than those who died at the hands of Stasi.

Hersman shrugged his shoulders and said in a helpless tone: "Vladimir. Ilyich, you are the leader of Soviet Russia, and I am only a general manager...... You should know that the behavior of your Bolsheviks scares us. In Germany, in the Baltic Duchy, there were many who were afraid of the Bolsheviks! ”

Lenin looked at Hersman coldly.

Hersman continued: "This kind of killing out of fear should not affect our cooperation for the common good. ”

"But the appointment of the Tsar's daughter as the monarch of the United Duchy of the Baltic seriously harms our interests!"

"Just a puppet with no real power!"

"But there will be people who will take advantage of her, and to those hostile to Soviet Russia, she is a banner, a symbol of the reactionary Romanov dynasty!"

"Will she be worth more than the Hungarian Soviet Republic?" Hersman glanced at Kuhn. Beira.

Kuhn. "Comrade Lenin, the Hungarian revolution is of great significance to the European revolution and the world revolution, far more than a female archduchess!" ”

There is no doubt that as long as the red flag of the Hungarian Soviet Republic does not fall, the Entente will not be able to go all out against Soviet Russia. Moreover, the flame of revolution may spread from Hungary to the Czech Republic, Austria, Romania, Serbia and other countries......

Lenin looked at Hersmann in silence, and there was a dead silence in the room, and I don't know how long it took to hear Lenin exhale softly.

"Well, Olga can become the monarch of the United Duchy of the Baltics, but not now...... Wait at least another three months. We need time to adjust (intensify repression). The condition is that you store at least 200,000 rifles, 3,000 machine guns and 500 cannons, as well as 10 million rifle bullets and 100,000 shells in warehouses in Budapest before the end of the war. Moreover, the United Principalities of the Baltic were supposed to expel Yudenich and his henchmen. ”

"Yes, but we need your written assurance. In addition, you will have to write letters to Liebknecht and Luxembourg. ”

"Okay, okay, it's a deal!" Lenin looked at Hersmann and said in an extremely serious tone, "Ludwig, I know very well that you want to use the sign of Ogari to fool the Entente. But you guys should not forget that the Baltic is very close to Russia and far from Britain and France! ”
