On March 28, after eight days of separation from Comrade Lenin, Hersmann met the great teacher again on the platform of the Zurich railway station.

"Otto, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"I'm also very happy, Comrade Lenin!"

Hersmann and Lenin embraced.

Embracing Lenin is certainly not as pleasant as embracing Loy, but it is a superficial thing that must be done. In the future, our Hersmann will have to embrace many big names, such as Stalin, Trotsky, Mussolini, Franco, and of course, Adolf, who will be called the devil and the number one villain of mankind in the 20th century. Hitler!

"Nadezhda, are you feeling better? Can you stand the fatigue of the journey? After hugging Lenin, Hersmann hugged Lenin's wife again - and Lenin did the same to Chloe.

"I'm fine," Krupskaya replied with a smile, suffering from severe hyperthyroidism, and her recuperation in Switzerland was very good for her health, and she is now almost recovering. "Being able to leave the dreary place of Switzerland refreshed Ilyich and I, and I think revolutionary work is the best recuperation."

Lenin and his wife did not like Switzerland very much, mainly because they (including the **** in Switzerland) put such things as fishing and drying clothes above discussing the **** organization - Comrade Lenin once wanted to help the Swiss working people make a revolution, but the **** comrades in Switzerland were not very interested in the revolution, and they always fished and dried clothes and did not discuss the rebellion with Lenin......

"Feradimir. Ilyich, the train is ready," Chloe said to Lenin in a cheerful tone at this time, "and there are our comrades in the German railway department (referring to the **** of the German Socialist Party), and they have arranged for us a special special train from Zurich to Sasniz, and the train is full of our people!" ”

Chloe. Feng. Heinsberg pointed to a special train with a locomotive and six cars behind him, on which Chloe and Hersmann had come from Berlin. They were accompanied only by the train driver, the cook in the dining car, and twenty plainclothes Germans armed with Mauser 1912 military pistols (what the Chinese call box guns).

"That's great, thank you so much to the German comrades." Lenin, of course, knew that both Hersmann and Chloe worked for Wilhelm II, but he still pretended to be confused...... Of course, the German side did not want to openly support the Bolsheviks. Because this thing is a bit bad for the rules of imperialist warfare.

"It's not too early, let's get in the car first, please follow me." Chloe, seeing that many Russian revolutionaries were already arriving, warmly invited Lenin to board the train. Hersman then invited Krupskaya into the same carriage.

This carriage is the sixth and final carriage after the locomotive, and in front of it is the dining car. The interior of the carriage was very clean, and the floor was covered with a fluffy carpet. There were six soldiers in civilian clothes in the carriage, and when they saw Hersman get on the train, they all stood upright. The six soldiers occupied six rows of seats near the dining car—thirty-six seats in all, and all but six were for the six soldiers, and on the other thirty seats were two leather suitcases sealed with seals, apparently guarding them.

"That's 1,200,000 gold marks (all 20 gold marks, 1,200,000 gold marks is 60,000 coins)!" Chloe told Lenin in Russian, "A little bit of our German socialists." ”

This lie is too false, and if it is 12,000 gold marks, the German Socialists may still have a way to raise it. But one and two hundred thousand gold marks could only be taken out by Wilhelm II without difficulty.

"Thank you so much! Thank you so much! Comrade Lenin continued to feign confusion and excitedly shook the hands of Chloe and Hersmann, "We Russian Bolsheviks will never, ever forget, the help of the Germans. ”

He used the Germans, not the German comrades, as if to imply something.

Hersman and Chloe glanced at each other, and Hersman said in Russian: "This is only the first amount, and there will be more money and weapons later." As long as it is beneficial to the Russian Revolution, we are willing to provide it. Then he took out a pamphlet from a black handbag and handed it to Lenin, "This is a pamphlet on the new world order written by His Majesty the Emperor himself, so please read it too." ”

Wilhelm II not only gave the Golden Mark, but also wrote a thin book himself, printing dozens of copies for the people in Thor's group (i.e., Hersmann) to distribute to the revolutionaries returning to Petrograd from Switzerland in order to guide them in the revolution (this has nothing to do with Hersmann, it is entirely the whims of the emperor himself).

At this time, Armand, who was acting as Lenin's secretary, commanded several able-bodied Bolsheviks to carry Lenin's luggage - mainly books and manuscripts, and Lenin had lived for a long time in Switzerland and was mainly engaged in research and writing - on the train.

"Armand stays, everyone else goes to the other carriage." Lenin suddenly whispered an order, and then looked at Hersmann.

"You all go to the dining car, don't come in without an order!" Hersman also ordered the soldiers he had brought with him, and although none of them knew Russian, it was always wrong to be careful.

"My brother will get on the bus later, and he is now arranging for the Bolshevik comrades to get on the bus," Chloe whispered to Lenin, "and we'll wait for him later." ”

"Okay." Lenin nodded, waved at Kruzpukaya, and sat down with her by the window. Hersmann sat across from Lenin and his wife, while Chloe went to the dining car and fiddled with coffee and snacks.

Soon, Ettel became more and more in tune with Carl. Stockhausen together, three steps and two steps into the car. Carl closed the door, then sat down in a seat next to the door. Ettel walked briskly over to Hersman and sat down.

"Alright, everyone is here, the train is about to leave!" Ettel breathed a sigh of relief, relieved. In the past ten days, he has been busy on all fours, arranging for hundreds of Russian revolutionaries and their families to arrive in Zurich, and he is also responsible for the food and lodging of these people. It's not over until today.

However, the next step was not easy, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on William Street had decided to appoint him and Chloe on a business trip to Russia...... Now Petrograd is still the domain of the Provisional Government, and he, a German diplomat, cannot eat there at all.

"Feradimir. Ilyich," Ettel leaned back in his chair, reached out and took a list from Hersman, then looked at it, "sixty suitcases full of gold rubles, a total of sixty thousand gold mark coins...... Would you like to have someone check it out? ”

"No, no." Lenin smiled and stretched out his hand, "I can trust the Germans, you are rigorous and serious enough, this is a great character, worthy of learning from us Russians." ”

Ettel handed the list to Lenin, which was actually a receipt that needed Lenin's signature. Hersmann handed the prepared pen to Lenin and whispered: "Comrade Lenin, rest assured that this receipt will be returned in due time and will not cause unnecessary trouble. ”

Lenin took the pen and signed his name briskly. "What's the trouble? The real trouble is not this, but a world war that has become disgusting to everyone! If it is not done soon, everyone's position will be unstable...... We Russians need to concentrate on infighting, and you need to deal with the difficulties on the Western Front. Isn't it? ”

Lenin handed Hersmann the signed list and gave him a meaningful look. Hersman knew that the other side wanted to test the price of the peace talks...... Obviously, Lenin had no doubts about whether he could come to power!

"I heard that Duke Lvov and Milyukov have invited the leader of the Socialist-Revolutionaries Kerensky to the Provisional Government." Ettel frowned and said the news he had just gotten. "Moreover, the Provisional Government has also stated that it will adopt a revolutionary nationalist doctrine and confine itself to self-defense and not attack in future wars."

"Stupid words!" Before Lenin could speak, Hersmann answered first. "Either they will get out of the war cleanly, or they will fight! What kind of world war is limited to self-defense and not attack? Doing so will only break the morale of the military, and these guys will soon retract their stupidity. ”

Lenin took over the topic with a smile: "The Cadets and the Progressive Party are stupid, they are a bunch of stupid superiors, big names in the Duma, and the war was provoked by them together with the Tsar. As for the Socialist-Revolutionaries and the Mensheviks, they were probably superior in the degree of stupidity, and these people were even more stupid than the tsar himself. Most of them were also of aristocratic and upper-class origins, and because they loved fantasy, love to fight and fight, and were attracted by revolutionary romanticism, they embarked on what they considered to be the revolutionary road. But they are not really revolutionaries, they do not understand theory, they do not know much about international and domestic situations, they still have a head of heroism, and they think they are clever when they are divorced from reality. In their opinion, the reason why the tsar lost the war was stupidity and imbecility, and they could have won it if they had gone up. I know these people all too well, and if the Russian bourgeoisie cooperates with them to form a coalition government, then by July at most this government will become something that everyone rejects. When the time comes, I will be in power! I will start peace negotiations with Germany, conclude a fair and reasonable treaty, and I will try to restore Russian-German relations under Prince Bismarck!
