Under the bright sunshine of southern Germany, a smoke-spewing train spits on the railway to Zurich. On both sides of the railway, apart from deserted farms and pastures with no cattle or sheep in sight, there are large areas of dense forest.

The trains were not crowded, and less than half of the seats in most carriages were filled with passengers, mostly women and children or elderly men. Our Captain Hirschman is now on this train, but instead of sitting in a regular car, he is seated in a spacious box. He was joined by several other people, one of whom was named Carl. Second Lieutenant of the Army in Stockhausen. He had blonde hair, a rather burly and tall build, and was very young, as if he was not yet 20 years old.

He was Captain Kesselring's assistant to Hersmann, drawn from the guards of the Great General Staff, and with him three large soldiers. Their job was not to protect Hersmann, but to act as porters - there were no lightweight military radios these days, they were all big, bulky guys. Hersman alone could not carry it in any case.

In addition to these four "coolies", there were also two personnel from the Reich Foreign Office on Wilhelmstraße in the spacious box - liaison with Comrade Lenin, which had been the responsibility of the German Embassy in Switzerland in the past. And this contact with Lenin was also in the hands of the General Staff and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

So the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also sent a petty official who was shoulder to shoulder with Hersmann, Oscar, the first secretary of the embassy in Switzerland. Feng. Ettel. He was a fat man in his thirties, with big eyes, thick eyebrows, a large, red rosacea nose, thick glasses, a very loud voice, and a great appetite for food—a great taste of being a diplomat in Switzerland, where food was plentiful.

Hersmann guessed that the big fat man must have had a good background, and what path did he take to get this position as a diplomat in Switzerland. Otherwise, at his age, he would have gone to the front line to squat in the pit.

Along with Etel was a young lady, with a well-rounded oval face, a high nose that seemed to be carved out, wavy blonde hair, a pair of very beautiful ice-blue eyes, and a very white complexion like cream, and a pretty outstanding beauty.

The fly in the ointment is that her figure seems to be a little fat, maybe not fat but seductive plumpness...... Because she always wore a wide gray tweed dress, Hersman couldn't judge.

The lady was also a diplomat, an attaché at the German embassy in Switzerland - something that would have been unthinkable before the war, but now too many men have been pulled out to make enough places available for women.

The beautiful woman who got a job at the German embassy in Switzerland was named Chloe. Feng. Heinsberg, who also holds the title of a baroness, inherited it from her father who died in battle (one of her fiancés also died on the front line, which is so sad).

In addition, according to Etter, Miss Heinsberg is a female student who graduated from the history department of the University of Munich. And very coincidentally, her teacher at the history department of the University of Munich, Karl. Haushofer was also a tactics instructor at the Groslichfeld Military Academy.

"Oh my God, you're also a student of Colonel Haushofer?" Hersmann looked at the female diplomat of the German Empire in amazement, and said in a serious tone, "He was a rather strict teacher, and the students of our class were often punished by him, either running around the big playground or doing dozens of push-ups." I guess he's pretty strict at the University of Munich, right? ”

Miss Heinsberg was amused by Hersmann and giggled: "Captain, the university is not like a military school, it is a rather free place. I had the impression that the Doctor was a very kind and gentlemanly man, and that he was a good teacher. ”

But after the defeat in the Second World War, this good teacher would have committed suicide! Hersmann couldn't help but have a gloomy thought in his head...... He was under the impression that Colonel Haushofer and his Jewish wife (honorable German) committed suicide by poisoning a year after the defeat of Germany.

By the way, there were many Jews who fought for Germany and even gave their lives as honorable Germans! So in Herman's view, the Jews were not the enemies of Germany, the real enemies of Germany were the big plutocrats of Wall Street and London, who did not allow Germany to rise...... Although a significant number of these plutocrats were Jews, the number of international plutocrats was certainly not as large as that of the Jews who fought for the Nazis.

"And the Ph.D. is also very talented, and the history of Europe that he explains is very interesting and not dull at all." Miss Heinsberg continued to praise her teacher, but her eyes were fixed on a melancholy Hersmann. "Captain, what are you worried about?"

"No, no," Hersman shook his head, smiling slightly. "I think of the ******** point of view of the Colonel, I think he also spoke about it at the University of Munich?"

In Hersmann's memory, this Haushofer was also a famous German ******** scientist, Rudolf. Hess was his student, and Hitler was also deeply influenced by him, and after the Nazi Party came to power, he also became president of the German Academy of Sciences.

And his ******** ideal, Hersmann, which he had heard of in later generations, was the German-Soviet alliance, in which the two land powers jointly opposed the Anglo-American sea power. In this respect, he was more clever than Hitler and Stalin, and if those two dictators had listened to him, the fate of the Third Reich and the Red Reich would not have been so bleak. Of the two dictators, Hitler's ******** views were clearly more confusing because Hitler pursued a pro-British and Russophobic view......

"The Doctor advocates German-Russian coordination," Miss Heinsberg exchanged glances with Ettel the Big Fat Man. Heinsberg smiled and asked, "Captain, I suppose you must disagree with such an opinion, do you?" ”

"Quite the opposite," Hersman shrugged, then was silent for a moment, as if to weigh the words. "Actually, I agree with His Excellency Bismarck's assertion that Russia is of particular importance to Germany, and that the reason why this great war will be protracted is that we are at war with France and Russia at the same time...... If we had been able to divert the forces of the Eastern Front to the Western Front in the first place, I am afraid that a glorious peace would have arrived long ago. ”

Hersman kept his eyes fixed on Etter's face as he spoke. Because he knew that in German political and diplomatic circles there had always been faithful followers of Bismarck's line. For example, Gustav, who later became Chancellor of the Weimar Republic. Stresemann, and Schulenburg, who served as ambassador to the Soviet Union.

Etel was silent, just looked at Heinsberg. Heinsberg raised his voice and said, "Captain, isn't there now an opportunity to achieve Russian-German coordination?" ”

"You mean Lenin?" Hersmann looked at the bright and touching Heinsberg, and he guessed that she was a beautiful microphone, and that the female attachés in embassies abroad had no future to speak of, so they were not afraid to say the wrong thing. All the sensitive topics today were provoked by her, and it seems that she is touching her bottom on the orders of Etter.

And that Etel is a secretary at a young age, and he must have a bright future in the future, and there must be some big man behind him, perhaps it is Foreign Minister Qulman himself! It appears that contacts with Lenin have always been under the direct control of William Street (referring to the Foreign Office).

"Captain, do you know who this Lenin is?" Ettel picked up the topic and asked with a smile.

"Yes!" "He was the leader of the Bolshevik wing of the Russian Socialist Party and had been in exile in Switzerland since the defeat of the revolution of 1905. ”

Etel nodded: "But it is not the Bolsheviks who now control the Provisional Government of Russia, but Lenin's political enemies, the Cadets, the Progressive Party, and the October Party. ”

Etel spoke word for word, paying attention to Hersman's expression as he spoke. Ten years earlier he had been instructed to make contact with Lenin under the name of "Mr. Green, a German Socialist" and had provided him with substantial support. And on December 28 last year, Ettel also single-handedly arranged for Lenin and the German ambassador to Switzerland, von. Count Romberg's meeting, where the possibility of Lenin's return to Russia via Germany was discussed...... It can be said that Comrade Lenin was the key to the success or failure of Mr. Eitel's career.

But today's Germany is not ten years ago, the military is inflated, and they have to intervene in everything. Lenin's "big cake" is no exception.

But Ettel didn't care about the military's involvement, he was worried that the military would mess things up. That's why he tried to get to the bottom of Hersmann on the way to Switzerland, hoping that the other party would accept his views and allow him to continue to play a leading role in "helping" Lenin.

"If the Russian Provisional Government is unwilling to negotiate peace with us, then Lenin and his Bolsheviks are the only hope for the Reich to restore peace on the Eastern Front, and their ability to cause trouble should not be underestimated." Etel said slowly, "Captain, you have been on the Eastern Front for a long time, you should know if we have the ability to defeat them completely?" ”

"It's true, we don't have the ability to completely defeat Russia, at least not on the battlefield." Hersmann admitted this very frankly, but in fact he did not care at all about the coveting of Lenin's big cake by the German diplomat in front of him, because the other party had no idea how big the cake was.

In fact, in Germany today, no one except Hersmann knows how big Lenin's cake is, let alone how to make the most of it!

"To defeat Russia, the occupation of Warsaw, Riga, Brest and Vilno is not enough, and even the capture of Minsk and Kiev is not enough to force a complete defeat for Russia, it is necessary to capture Moscow and Petersburg. But we certainly don't have such power. ”

Etel nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Then, we can only try to solve the Eastern Front by political means, the revolution that took place last month has plunged Russia into chaos." If we can support Lenin to further mess up Russia. Then peace on the Eastern Front can be expected, and then we will be able to stand undefeated. Just like during the Seven Years' War! ”

The Seven Years' War took place between 1754 and 1763, almost as an Anglo-Prussian alliance against the entire European continent. Although Prussia had a military genius like Frederick the Great, it was still defeated by three powerful enemies, France, Austria and Russia, and even lost Berlin. But just as Prussia was dying, the Russian Empress Elizabeth fell ill and died, and her heir was Peter III, the brainchild of Frederick the Great, who returned all the territory occupied by Russia to Prussia, and then allied with Prussia to save Prussia's life.
