Mikhail. Malkovich. Borodin is one of the many famous people in history who will die in history since Hesmann was reborn on this plane. He would have been in 1949 because of Anna. Louise. Strong was arrested in the espionage case and died in a labor camp in May 1951 – along with Ms. Strong herself. However, she was lucky, survived until Khrushchev came to power, was released in 1955, came to China in 1958, settled in Beijing, and became a progressive American writer and friend of the Chinese. She died in 1970 and was buried in the famous Babaoshan Martyrs Cemetery.

In a beautiful English-style villa on the outskirts of Riga (originally belonging to an English merchant), Hersmann met Borodin. The man with thick eyebrows, big eyes, a huge nose, and a mustache seemed a little angry, and protested and threatened Hersman at the sight of him.

"If you do not abandon a policy hostile to the Russian Soviet Republic," he said. "The Red Army will take drastic measures."

"What drastic measures were taken?" Hersman asked.

"Attack, the Red Army will attack. Estonia and Courland were originally Russian lands. Now that the Brest Treaty has been abrogated, we can take back Estonia and Courland at any time. Unless you abandon your hostile policy towards us, unleash all ******, liberalize freedom of speech, and expel the reactionary forces of Belarus. Borodin, who in the future would also become a reactionary himself, said in a rather stern tone, "This is the last warning to you from the Russian Soviet Republic, and if you do not accept it, then war will break out immediately?" ”

Hersman grinned and turned to look at Halder, who had joined Stacy in charge of military intelligence and was also the deputy chief of staff of the Courland Defense Force.

"Major, our war with the Russian Bolsheviks has not yet broken out?"

"No reports have been received in this regard." Harder said.

"Then we have to explode!" Hersman laughed. "Comrade Borodin, please send a telegram to Comrade Lenin and tell the Red Army to hurry over and have some clashes with us on the border of the Pskov region. If there is nothing to do, it is better to make another statement: to say that Courland and Estonia are an integral part of Russia. ”

"What do you mean, Mr. Hersman?"

Borodin stopped talking about threats - the White Russian army under Yudenich was not a problem at the moment, but the 100,000 German troops in Courland were no joke. Their training and equipment were top-notch, and the officers were active German officers. They really wanted to fight for the tsar, and the Red Army on the Petrograd side could not cope with it.

Although the Red Army now claims to have more than 1 million people, their combat effectiveness is really not very good, otherwise they would not have defeated less than a third of the number until now, and the White Guards are still divided internally, and the White Guards have no choice.

Now is a critical moment in the civil war. The main forces of the Red Army are fighting against Kolchak (who is now the commander of the White Army of the Urals and Siberia with 150,000 troops) and Denikin, and is also preparing a major offensive against Ukraine. There weren't enough troops to attack the United Duchy of Baltic.

And on the Western Front, the enemies of the Red Army were not the only ones in the Polo. Poland's Pilsudski was also hostile to Soviet Russia, openly devoting himself to seizing Ukrainian lands and bloodily suppressing the Bolshevik organization in Lithuania.

"It means we're going to fight you!" "We are at war with you on the orders of Her Majesty Archduchess Olga of Russia, so this is a civil war for our Russians!" Comrade Borodin, do you understand what I mean? ”

Borodin seemed to understand something. "We don't recognize the Brest Treaty, and you don't recognize it, do you?"

"Yes," Hersman nodded. "The government of the Grand Duchess does not recognize the legitimacy of this treaty, and neither will the Entente."

"That is, Courland and Estonia are still part of Russia."

"That's right, de jure says so." Hersman smiled and nodded. This was a legal basis for the Baltic United Principalities to circumvent the Treaty of Versailles. Of course, the Entente did not recognize the Treaty of Brest, nor did the governments of the Russian Bolsheviks and the United Principalities of the Baltics. In this way, the United Principality of the Baltic is part of Russia from the point of view of international law - like Taiwan after 1949! No matter how much the Americans wanted to, they could not send troops to occupy it as part of Japan.

Moreover, there was hope for the restoration of the Russian Empire. On Hersmann's way to meet Borodin, Chloe told him that Denikin, Wrangel, Kolchak, and Semyonov had sent congratulatory messages to the Grand Duchess on her inauguration as monarch of the United Duchy of the Polo, and expressed their loyalty to Her Majesty the Tsar and Her Majesty the Grand Duchess.

Considering that the Russian Civil War is still undecided, it is very likely that the Grand Duchess will become the real Empress of Russia! To humiliate the future Russian empress as the monarch of a defeated country, or even to force her to surrender her principality, would seriously damage future Anglo-American relations with Russia.

From this point of view, it was quite advantageous to keep the United Principalities of the Baltic and the Soviet Government of Russia in a "state of civil war".

"So we're compatriots now?" Borodin couldn't help but laugh and cry.

"Yes, dear compatriots!" Hersman replied in Russian. "I want to ...... The battlefield of our civil war is at the junction of Livonia and Pskov. ”

"Pretending to fight a civil war?" Borodin asked.

"Yes." Hersman smiled and shrugged, "But we can't take care of Tallinn right now...... Yudenich's army will probably actually fight, so you have to be careful. ”

"But what's in it for us?" Borodin asked rhetorically, frowning.

"Benefits...... Uh, that's pretty obvious. "First of all, we won't really fight you, 100,000 regular troops and 100,000 people's stormtroopers will remain neutral in the Russian civil war." ”

Borodin rolled his eyelids, this is not nonsense! What do you Germans have to do with the Russian Civil War? What's the benefit of winning? Really go to be Russian?

"Secondly, we will continue to support the Hungarian Bolsheviks in their struggle. That's right...... Did they build a party? ”

"Not yet."

"Gotta hurry." "I hope that they can come to power as soon as possible and establish a Soviet state," Hersman said. ”

"How can you help them?" Borodin looked at Hersmann with blazing eyes. That's what really matters! As long as the Hungarian red flag did not fall, it would be impossible for the Entente to send a large number of intervention troops to Russia.

"Weapons and ammunition, military advisers, and access to and from Hungary," Hersman said. "And, of course, the victory of the Hungarian revolution!"

"The victory of the Hungarian Revolution? How do you give? ”

Hersman frowned slightly: "Comrade Borodin, you have heard of a man named Paul. Feng. Letovin. Major General in Erbek? ”

"Who is he?"

Hersman said slowly: "He is the commander of the German East African garrison!" For more than four years, he led an army of mostly blacks, armed with old Mauser 1871 rifles and 67 machine guns and 31 light field guns, to fight in German East Africa, British East Africa, and Portuguese Mozambique with no backup. The British army, numbering tens of thousands, had no way to deal with him. And if he and his fighters went to Hungary...... I promise that the war there will continue forever. The Hungarians can fight as long as they want! ”
