After attending the ceremony of Field Marshal Hindenburg's retirement and the farewell reception, Hersmann returned by car to the military intelligence station in the Charlottenburg district. Captain Stockhausen was already waiting outside Hersmann's office. He was sent to the side of Empress Olga as a military lieutenant after Captain Shipper took over the Miuta forces.

"Carl, why are you here?" Hersman beckoned to the first subordinate to follow him, "Come in and sit down." ”

Cal. Stockhausen entered the office and placed an envelope sealed with wax on Hersmann's desk.

"Lieutenant Colonel, this is a personal letter from Her Majesty the Empress." "She plans to leave Tallinn for a visit to London in the near future." ”

"Oh, I know that." As he spoke, Hersman began to open the envelope. Recently, the Russian Red Army seemed to have massed in Pskov, but it was slow to launch a decisive attack on Estonia. Tallinn was stepping up preparations for war, and Empress Olga was ready to go to London to ask for help in person - after Germany signed the Treaty of Versailles, the Entente attitude towards Empress Olga of Russia was also much warmer, and it seemed that she was ready to recognize her status.

Taking out the stationery inside the envelope, Hersman read it at a glance, his brows suddenly twisted, and Stockhausen, who was standing opposite him, couldn't help but ask: "Lieutenant Colonel, what does Her Majesty's letter say?" ”

"The British asked her to leave Tallinn for the Crimea!" Hersman put down Olga's letter, "After this visit to London, I went directly to the Black Sea on the British warship, and did not return to Tallinn." She wanted my opinion and wanted me to go to Tallinn. ”

At the invitation of the Empress of Russia, Hersmann and Chloe traveled together by train through West Prussia, East Prussia and Lithuania to the Baltics. West Prussia and neighboring Posen were to be ceded to Poland, and many of the Germans who lived there were unwilling to let the Poles dictate their destiny and chose to relocate. Some of them chose to head east to the Courland State in search of their future, so the train to Riga became so crowded after passing through West Prussia that even the aisles outside the boxes were crowded with German refugees. They looked a little depressed, but they were still in good order and very quiet.

A number of propagandists claiming to be the Kurland German National Party, which is chaired by Baron Pierburg, were handing out leaflets. Hersmann and Chloe also got two copies, leaflets, with black lead letters printed on them: Courland is our homeland, and every German can distribute land for free!

Although the Entente had temporarily spared the Autonomous State of Courland, which was now the Autonomous State of Courland in the Russian Empire, and the Entente could not think of any reason to ban it, and that doing so would be tantamount to helping Lenin, the Courland leadership, headed by Baron Pierburg and Admiral Goltz, did not let their guard down. They are taking every opportunity to expand the German community in the Courland Autonomous State.

In the intervening days of the Paris Peace Conference, Baron Pierburg went to Warsaw several times to negotiate with Pilsudski and obtained permission from the other side to allow the Courland German National Party to operate on Polish soil for a period of time, in order to mobilize Germans from Posen, West Prussia, and Galicia (formerly Austria) to settle in Courland.

According to Stasi's report, in just six months from the end of 1918 to the end of June 1919, the number of Germans in the Courland Autonomous State increased by about 350,000, bringing the total population to more than 1.35 million. It is estimated that by the end of 1919, the Courland Autonomous State would have 1.7 million Germans!

If Lenin finally fulfilled his promise not to annex Estonia, but to let the Germans get there. Then after the end of the civil war in Soviet Russia, there is a high probability that the Germans on the lands of the entire Baltic Republic will exceed 2 million, thus becoming an overwhelming majority in numbers.

And twenty years from now, the entire Baltic population of Germany will probably exceed 3 million!

……

"Ludwig, they want me to be the Queen of the Cossacks!"

In a small dining room in the Tombea Palace, Hersmann and Chloe sat at a table covered with a white tablecloth and accompanied the Empress of Russia to dinner. The meals were plentiful with soup, sturgeon, veal, cheese and fruit. These things are packed in porcelain plates with Phnom Penh and delivered by some light-footed waiters. The Empress had no interest in the dishes and just gulped down her drinks.

Her face was also very bad, as for the reason, Hersmann already knew, the Entente began to think about how to dismember Russia after Germany signed the Treaty of Versailles!

A state with all the lands of the Russian Empire before the war, whether Soviet or Belarusian, was not allowed to exist.

Although the Entente never made this position clear, they told Empress Olga with practical actions.

"They did not support me in retaking Petrograd and wanted me to leave here so that the United Principalities of the Baltic could become autonomous...... Govern by the Estonians, Latvians and you Germans yourselves! ”

The empress took another big sip of wine, "They also want me to go to Sevasporol to be queen and rule Left-bank Ukraine, the lower Don and Transcaucasia...... And I also want to recognize the right-bank Ukraine as belonging to Poland, but also to recognize the independence of Poland, and recognize Poland as a federal state with Lithuania and Ukraine! ”

The Empress of Russia has now become the Queen of the Cossacks!

Hersman thought to himself: a United Baltic Principality, a Polish-Lithuanian-Ukrainian Commonwealth, a Cossack kingdom, and perhaps a Far Eastern Republic, and an Arash Republic - in Central Asia, with the Kazakhs as the main body, the territory is very large, including almost all of Russian Central Asia.

If these countries really could survive, the Russian Empire would really collapse, and the end would be even worse than that of defeated Germany. No wonder Her Majesty the Empress was in a very depressed mood.

"Your Majesty, what are you going to do?" Hersman really couldn't come up with any suggestions. The ruthlessness of Britain, France and the United States towards Russia has actually decided the fate of the fall of White Russia, and now God cannot save the queen.

Because the main body of White Russia is the Russian national chauvinists, and the disintegration of the country is by no means what they want. They wanted to restore the Great Russian Empire, not to be some Cossacks......

"What else can I do?" Empress Olga looked at Hersmann, "Ludwig, it seems that I can't be the Empress of Russia anymore!" ”

"You want to be a Cossack queen?"

"I'm afraid I can't be a ......," Olga shook her head slowly, "Russians! How could they be so proud to watch their homeland split into a pile of pieces? My people, they will go to attack Moscow! When I arrive in the Crimea, Admiral Denikin will march to Moscow on my orders! At the same time, Admiral Yudenich will also launch a storming on Petrograd! ”

The Empress looked at Hersman, "Lieutenant Colonel, can you get the Courland Defense Force to cooperate with Admiral Yudenich?" ”

White Russia is fighting for its life! Hessman gasped, Britain, France and the United States had forced Belarus into a hurry this time, and they wanted to use a suicidal attack to fight Soviet Russia...... The historical White Russia probably ended up like this, right?

"Okay, I'll try to ......"

Hersman could not bear it, nor could he refuse the empress to her face. I can only agree to come down first, and then find an excuse to release the pigeons. What he didn't expect, however, was that the excuse was already there when he answered Miuta (Stasi's headquarters). It was brought by Major Halder, deputy chief of staff of the Courland Defense Forces.

"Good news! Great news! ”

The bitter-faced Halder said to Hersmann in the tone of winning the jackpot: "Lieutenant Colonel, the British have expressed their willingness to recognize the Baltic Republic in the future, and also recognize that all Germans in Courland are Baltic citizens and can vote for the president and parliamentarians!" We've got Polo's! We did it! ”

"What?" Hersman was stunned, how could there be such a good thing? Did the British have good intentions or did they have the wrong brains?

"What about the conditions?" Hersman asked, "You don't want us to be governed by the Treaty of Versailles, do you?" ”

"No, no such conditions were proposed." "There are two main conditions: first, the existence of a 'Bolshevist anti-epidemic belt' to prevent the westward spread of the Bolsheviks to the Polish Confederation and Germany, which requires us to have a certain amount of military strength; second, not to support any White Russian adventures, and the Courland Defense Forces cannot leave the land of the Baltic Republic, nor can they provide military assistance to the White Guards in Estonia." ”

This is to ask the Germans in Courland to betray the Russian White Guards!

To illustrate, historically Lloyd's. George's policy towards Soviet Russia, which was later strongly attacked by Churchill and Curzon, culminated in the collapse of the Liberal-Conservative cabinet. George's political life came to an end.
