Lenin is a traitor!

Lenin was a German spy!

Similar claims have been in the air since the collapse of the Soviet Union, as if this great mentor was the culprit behind the transformation of the Russian Empire from an invincible polar bear to a sick cat. And in his previous life, Hersman also believed this - he was a veteran fan, and of course he would not think that the Great Mentor was a good person. And the Thor project that Hirschman is now involved in seems to confirm this argument.

Lenin was indeed in collusion with Germany and was ready to betray Russian interests!

But to Hersmann's complete surprise, correcting his view of Lenin and the Bolsheviks' traitorous quest for glory, it was a meeting at the railway station where Lenin met with the leader of the Russian Socialist-Revolutionary Party, the deputy chairman of the Provisional Council of the Workers' and Servicemen's Soviet in Petrograd, and at the same time the Minister of Justice of the Provisional Government of Duke Lvov, named Alexander. Vdolovich. Kerensky's people. On April 7, 1917, nine days before Lenin's return to Petrograd, Lenin and Hersmann's train arrived at the Finnish railway station in Petrograd. Here they "coincidentally" met, once Lenin's classmate and friend, now rival and future nemesis Kerensky.

Since the trip was arranged by the German Grand General Staff, which was known for its efficiency and rigour, the trip from Switzerland to Petrograd went smoothly and without a single problem, either on land or at sea. The only thing that worried Ettel and Chloe was that as soon as Lenin arrived in Helsinki, he sent a telegram to his supporters in Petrograd, announcing in a loud voice: Lenin is back!

Ettel and Chloe may have seen Lenin in their hearts as a Russian traitor who collaborated with Germany and betrayed the interests of the Russian nation - and Lenin would have had a hard time explaining to the masses in Petrograd how he had returned to Petrograd from Switzerland through German territory. All of them agreed that Lenin should go quietly into the city, avoid high-profile activities, and wait until the limelight had passed.

If Lenin had been too high-profile, they feared that there would be soldiers of the Russian Provisional Government waiting to arrest Lenin and his entourage at the Petrograd railway station...... Including the German spies such as Hersmann, Ettel and Chloe, as well as dozens of boxes of unexplained gold marks, are simply the best evidence to prove that Lenin was a Russian traitor and a German spy!

As a result, when the train carrying Lenin, German agents (Hersmann and others were now not diplomats, but spies) and Kim Mark drove into the Petrograd Primorsky railway station, there were literally dozens of people wearing yellow-green military uniforms and carrying Mosin. Russian soldiers with Nagant rifles.

However, they did not come to arrest Lenin, but Kerensky, the Minister of Justice of the Provisional Government, came to meet Lenin at the train station.

"Vladimir. Ilyich, it's great that you're back, those Germans didn't embarrass you, did they? ”

"How can you be embarrassed? They are now desperate to negotiate with us so that the war on the Western Front can be ended as soon as possible! Alexander. Vdolovich, how are you? It must be a good feeling to be the Minister of Justice, right? ”

On the platform of a Finnish railway station, Hersmann was the first to get a close-up look at the acting talents of great statesmen.

Lenin and his political rival, Kerensky, seemed to be a pair of good friends who had been separated for many years, hugging, kissing, and greeting each other affectionately on the platform, and neither of them showed the slightest hostility.

And the Kerensky, who was ridiculed by Lenin as even more stupid than the Tsar, actually had a rather intelligent face - this was a very scholarly man, with a slender face, good features, and very bright eyes, and he could definitely be regarded as a beautiful man. Although he is the Minister of Justice, he is wearing a yellow-green Russian ** uniform without military rank, with his tall figure, he looks very vigorous, as if he is a victorious general.

Both Hersman and Chloe had changed into cheap and rough clothes, and neither had taken care of their appearance for days. With a scruffy face and a pair of flat glasses, Hersman looked like a Russian intellectual who had been in exile for many years. Chloe's hair is messy and greasy, her clothes are very loose, which makes her look fat, and she also puts on an ugly makeup in the car, which makes her look older and more haggard than she really is, and it looks like she has suffered a lot abroad with her husband.

Both of them were now secretaries of Comrade Lenin and had a new name. Hersman is known as Peter. Andreevich. Antonov. Chloe continues to play his wife, under the pseudonym Anna. Petrovna, who was also a nurse, took care of Lenin's sick wife.

Because of his status as a secretary, Hersmann was able to follow Lenin and listen to Lenin's conversation with Kerensky throughout the whole process.

"Now is the opportunity for a truce, and we must seize this opportunity!" Lenin took Kerensky's hand and slowly paced up the platform.

Outside the station, there seemed to be a lot of people who came to welcome Lenin, who were blocked by the soldiers brought by Kerensky and could not enter, but there were still bursts of cheers that reached the station: Lenin! Lenin! Lenin......

Lenin, on the other hand, nodded frequently to them, but at the same time spoke to Kerensky in a low voice. He said: "Alexander. Vdorovich, I think the February Revolution has shown that the people have abandoned not only the tsar, but also the war! Moreover, the war has become unsustainable, for both sides. ”

"No," Kerensky shook his head, his voice somewhat high-pitched and seemed very excited, "the situation is in our favor, that's obvious!" You may not know that the United States has declared war on Germany! Just yesterday! ”

"What!" Lenin, as if taken aback, glanced back at Hersmann, who had followed him a month earlier: The United States must enter the war, because the Russian Revolution had made the international capitalist bloc see the possibility of German victory!

"Vladimir. Ilyich, we have won! Russia has won! Kerensky waved his fist excitedly, "There is no doubt that Russia will be the victor and the Germans will be crushed!" ”

It seems that this Kerensky misjudged the situation because the United States declared war on Germany! Hersman's face was calm, and he did not take the declaration of war by the United States to heart at all...... Because he knew for a long time that Germany had lost the war!

"Smashing?" Lenin shook his head, "Too optimistic! We do not have such forces, the army of the tsars is disintegrating, and the army of the revolution has not yet been built. We do not have the strength to sustain the war, and the best thing to do is to take advantage of this opportunity to make peace with the Germans alone......

We can get a fairly favorable treaty. There is no need to pay indemnities, there is no need to cede land, and Poland and Finland may be lost, but those two countries do not strictly belong to Russia, but the tsar is also the monarch of both countries. I guess this is the best outcome for Russia at the moment, and even if we barely maintain the war until Germany is defeated, we won't get anything more. Because Britain and France did not want to see a strong Russia, otherwise there would not have been the Crimean War of 1853-1856. ”

"Vladimir. Ilyich, the Germans and you said so? Kerensky frowned. He clearly knew about Lenin's relationship with the Germans!

"Yes," Lenin did not deny it, nodding, "their representatives must have made the same request to the Provisional Government, right?" I guess it's an opportunity...... If we join forces to overthrow the bourgeoisie in the main battle, and then make peace with Germany, give peace to the soldiers, bread to the workers, and land to the peasants, then we really win, and it's as simple as that. ”

Lenin's tone was very sincere, and the proposals he made seemed to be feasible. If the Bolsheviks and the Socialist-Revolutionaries joined forces, the Cadets in the Provisional Government would not be able to resist. And an immediate peace negotiation will certainly win a more favorable treaty for Russia...... Hersmann knew that although Ludendorff had already made an offensive plan, it was not immediately implemented, and now the German-Austrian army on the Eastern Front had stopped all attacks and was waiting for peace.

Moreover, when he was in Helsinki, Hersmann also learned from a telegram from Berlin that there was an incredible scene on the battlefield on the Eastern Front, and the German and Russian troops on the front line not only fought during this time, but also got together to eat, drink, sing and dance, and call it a party.

Such a party was clearly agreed upon by the German General Staff! It seems that as long as the Provisional Government agreed to peace talks, the Germans would not risk provoking the Russian Provisional Government and completely shattering the dawn of peace on the Eastern Front.

In this way, the two sides will negotiate on the basis of the current military demarcation line, and Russia, if it will lose some land, will not be much. It is certainly not the case that was later the case with the signing of the Brest Treaty.

But then Kerensky's voice became stern, and to Hersmann it sounded as if he were teaching Lenin a lesson...... However, there was not much hostility in the tone, but a bit like a big brother teaching a lesson to a little brother who had gone astray.

"You're too pro-German, I don't know what deal you ever made with the Germans. But Vladimir . Ilyich, you have been abroad for too long, you do not know anything about the situation in Russia, you do not know how strong the Provisional Government and the Russian people are, and we are determined to win a glorious victory, because only one victory can save Russia! And any individual or group that opposes this will end well! ”

At this point, he stopped, and it turned out that he and Lenin had already passed through the railway station hall, and then through the gate was the railway station square, where tens of thousands of Bolshevik supporters had gathered to welcome their leader, Lenin.

Kerensky turned around, shook Lenin's hand, and softened his tone again: "Vladimir. Ilyich, it's all your people outside, restrain them well, and when the war is won, there will be a democratic, free, prosperous and strong Russia, which is what they need and what we are striving for! ”

With that, the powerful and illustrious-looking man nodded at Hirschman, Chloe, and Krupskaya, and left the other passage under the escort of his soldiers.

Lenin turned his head and smiled at Hersmann: "My friend, this Kerensky is now the most powerful man in the Provisional Government and the Soviets...... But he was incorrigibly confused, but it was a pleasure to be his opponent. For mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
