"The German Bolsheviks, of course, could not come to power!" Hindenburg stretched out his right hand and touched his white beard, "The upheaval in Petrograd in January has made the last trace of possibility disappear, but a revolution is still possible!" Is that right? ”

Hindenburg's face became serious, he looked at Hersmann, who was sitting opposite him, and said word by word: "Major, please answer this question truthfully." ”

"Quite possibly!" Hersman nodded heavily, "And the revolution will bring unimaginable disasters to our empire...... Like the catastrophe that the February Revolution brought to the Russian Empire! ”

Hindenburg was silent. Cal. Colonel Haushofer asked, "Ludwig, do you mean that the army will disintegrate?" ”

"Maybe not that serious," Hirschman sighed, "but it would still render us incapacitated in the face of the Entente, so that the enemy would force us to accept the most humiliating peace...... Just like we do with Russia, even more harshly! ”

Hindenburg suddenly opened the drawer of his desk, took out a hand-copied document, and placed it in front of Hersmann: "Look at this. ”

Hersman took the document, which was written in English, and had fourteen lines in it:

1. Put an end to secret diplomacy and sign open contracts;

2. To ensure absolute freedom of navigation at sea;

3. Eliminate all economic barriers and establish equal conditions for trade;

4. Disarmament;

5. In dealing with colonial issues impartially, the interests of the colonial people should be taken into account as well as the legitimate demands of the colonial Government;

6. The withdrawal of the foreign army from Russia, and the guarantee of Russia's independence in determining its political development and state policy, and welcoming it into the society of a free country under the system of its own choice;

7 German troops withdrew from Belgium and restored their sovereignty;

8 German troops withdrew from France, Alsace and Lorraine were returned to France;

9. Adjust the Italian borders according to the distribution of ethnic groups;

10. To allow the autonomy of the peoples within the territory of Austria-Hungary;

11The territories of Romania, Serbia and Menegro were restored;

12 Recognize that the Turkish part within the Ottoman Empire has solid sovereignty, but that the other peoples ruled by Turkey have the opportunity to develop undisturbed on the basis of "autonomy", and that the Dardanelles Strait is forever open as a free navigation lane under international guarantees;

13. Re-establish an independent Poland with access to the sea, and guarantee its political and economic independence and territorial integrity by international treaties;

14To establish international joint bodies in accordance with the Special Covenant aimed at guaranteeing the political independence and territorial integrity of States, large and small, to each other;

This is Woodrow. President Johnson's "Fourteen Points for Peace" was supposed to have been announced on January 8, 1918. At that time, Hersman was still busy writing a report to the country about the upheaval in January, and did not pay much attention to it.

"It's a political inducement!" Hersman came to the conclusion without even thinking about it, because later generations had already made a public opinion. "This is a conspiracy of the Americans to break our fighting spirit and that of Austria-Hungary. As soon as it succeeds, the camouflage will be torn off and the harshest treaties will be imposed on us. Just by looking at the present Anglo-French-American intervention forces marching into Russia in a big way, you know that Woodrow. Johnson is lying. He's a complete liar! ”

Hersmann did not wrongfully accuse the American president, and the sixth clause of the Fourteen Points Conditions of Peace was violated by the Americans themselves before the ink was dry: while the Germans were withdrawing, American, British, French, and Japanese troops invaded Russia and began to support the Bolshevik enemy.

"Hehe, it seems that you also know the Americans very well." Field Marshal Hindenburg glanced at Haushofer. "Your opinion of the United States is very much to my liking! These cowboys and nouveau riche in the New World are simply unreliable. However, in the near future we may have to deal with them. Major Hersman, do you have any suggestions? ”

"The United States is a British semicolon!"

"Ha, ha, ha! That's how you see things. Field Marshal Hindenburg laughed, "Why? They all speak English? ”

"No," said Hersman solemnly, "they are all dominated by capital!" This is the biggest difference between Britain and the United States and our German Empire...... I'm talking about dominance! Capital in Britain and the United States is like the German army, owning the state. Moreover, capital does not have to be attached to a fixed country, and the army has a distinct nationality. Therefore, capital can flow freely between two countries dominated by capital, and by manipulating these two countries to dominate the world, greater profits can be obtained. For the capitalists who manipulated Anglo-American politics, the two countries were one. ”

"This is Lenin's point of view?" Cal. Colonel Haushofer interjected.

"No, the Bolsheviks were more confused on this issue, and in their opinion we Germany and Anglo-American, both were dominated by monopoly corporations. Mr. Krupp and Mr. Benz and some other rich man can get His Excellency the Marshal out of office with a few phone calls. ”

Historically, the Bolsheviks also believed that a few phone calls from the German capitalists would have brought Hitler out of power......

"It's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard."

Hindenburg burst out laughing, he was a laughing old man, and only on more formal occasions would he put on a straight face and look dignified. "But Americans' democratic elections are really a money game to a large extent, where capital can really dominate the country."

"But there are still contradictions between Britain and the United States!" Cal. Colonel Haushofer reminded, "Sometimes it's big!" ”

"Wouldn't it be good to have some contradictions when it is beneficial to the capitalists and does not prevent them from ruling the world?" Hersman laughed, "The arms race and proxy wars will bring big profits...... Isn't that great? ”

"Well, it seems to make some sense." Field Marshal Hindenburg pondered for a moment, "If our empire also becomes a state dominated by capital, does it mean that there will be lasting peace?" ”

Hersmann was taken aback, he did not expect Hindenburg to ask such a question. He guessed that Field Marshal Hindenburg must have sensed that something was wrong.

He stood up abruptly and said loudly, "To be controlled means to be transformed...... Transform according to the needs of capital! If capital needs Germany to be a great power, then she will be strong. If such capital were to tear Germany apart, she would have to disintegrate. If capital wants Germany to become a colony, then she will be enslaved. Germany can no longer control its own destiny! We will become slaves to others! ”

Hindenburg and Karl. Colonel Haushofer exchanged glances with each other, and Colonel Haushofer said, "What if...... I mean, what should we do if Germany really becomes a country dominated by capital in the near future? ”

What he refers to by "being dominated by capital" is actually becoming a defeated country!

"Fight!" Hersman shouted, "We must fight to the end!" As long as we breathe away, we German soldiers must not forget the mission we shoulder! We must fight to the end, fight to the end, even after defeat. We must do whatever it takes and by all means to make the German Fatherland revived! ”

This is a statement to Hindenburg......

"Oh, that's a good point." Hindenburg said as he pulled another document out of the drawer. "But I believe that Germany will never be dominated by the enemy! We can't allow that to happen, and we know what to prevent at this stage," he patted the papers on the table. "This is an order to reorganize the Thor group into the Eastern Division of the Military Intelligence Bureau!"

The Military Intelligence Directorate is an intelligence agency under the Grand General Staff, run by Colonel ******. Nikolai, and has about 150 intelligence officers. They were mainly engaged in military espionage, and they have achieved great results in the past few years, but they are not worth mentioning compared to Hersmann's achievements in Russia (the Kaiser, Hindenburg, and Ludendorff all attribute Lenin to power Hersmann).

In less than a year, he not only "pushed" the Russian Revolution, but also sent back a large number of reports telling the top of the German Empire how the Russians had slipped into the abyss. It seems that after these reports, the top brass of the German Empire naturally had to take some precautions when the situation at home was unstable and the same threat of revolution.

Hindenburg said: "The Eastern Division of Military Intelligence has only three priorities: 1. to continue to cooperate with the Russian Bolsheviks, to support them in winning the civil war and to obtain sufficient food and coal from Russia, 2) to prevent revolution from happening in Germany, and 3) to develop a plan for dealing with the most difficult times for the Reich. ”

He pointed to Haushofer beside him. "Colonel Haushofer will be the chief of the Eastern Division, and Lieutenant Colonel Schleicher will be the deputy chief." Then he looked at Hersman again, "You are the leader of the Russian group, and as for the Russian-German company, it will also be transferred to the direct jurisdiction of the Eastern Division." ”
