Chapter 48: Code Name "Polar Bear" 2/2
During this time, Werther had been in Berlin with Bernstein, Bebel, Zetkin, Liebknecht and other German Marxists, which made Werther more and more famous among Marxists in Western Europe, so much so that some young Marxists even came to Berlin, including the founder of the later famous German Communist Party, Rosa. Luxembourg. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Witte is now painful and happy, the reason is very simple, if this continues, I am afraid that Nicholas II will have to know his true identity, but communicating with these Marxist predecessors makes Witte himself feel very happy, anyway, he does not plan to hide it all the time, now he is in Europe, even if he is discovered, it is not a big deal, but I am afraid that his parents will be implicated, and the thought of this Witte is even more uncomfortable.
On August 28, 1896, Arkhipov arrived in Berlin with a group of ten agents from the Royal Intelligence Service, in addition to the 1,000,000 gold marks that Nicholas II had remitted to the account of Deutsche Bank Witte for the upfront costs of expanding the intelligence network of Germany, Austria and Turkey.
In a manor house on the western outskirts of Berlin, Werther was taking Arkhipov on a tour of the estate, and since it had been decided to build an intelligence point here, it was necessary to have a place to stay, which had to be a little far from the city center, but not too shabby, so that Werther and Arkhipov had been in Berlin for a few days.
On this day, the two came to this manor under Bernstein's introduction, although some of Bernstein's current ideas are different from Werther's ideas, but they will not make the two enemies, on the contrary, Bernstein is very happy that this young man in Russia has a good impression of the Jews, you must know that the most anti-Semitic country is Russia.
"Vasya, how is this manor?" Bernstein accompanied Witte around the estate and said, "This used to be the residence of a friend of a wealthy Jewish merchant, and last year my friend emigrated to the United States, and it was vacant, and he wanted me to help him sell it, but he couldn't find a good buyer, so it was empty." ”
Witt looked at the woods in the distance and returned, "Well, I feel pretty good, but I don't know how much such a big manor costs?" ”
Bernstein smiled and replied, "My friend gave me an offer of 500,000 gold marks, but since it's you, how about 300,000 gold marks?" ”
"Well, it's a good deal." "I agree, Mr. Bernstein," said Werther, "then let's sign a contract, and then I'll have to set it up, it's a good estate." ”
The next day, after the formalities were completed, Witte and Arkhipov came with people to decorate the estate. "Arkhipov, set up a watchtower there, but it should be better disguised, so that outsiders can't see it, and the whole estate can be seen from there." Witt said, pointing to a mountain in the distance.
"Then, there were traps in the woods, and fences outside the woods to separate them...... "Werther kept going around the manor, pointing out where and how to arrange it, while Arkhipov kept writing it down with his pen." Arkhipov, the people brought this time are all ours. ”
Arkhipov stopped recording and replied: "Well, they are all core members of the 'Red Group'. ”
"We set up an intelligence network this time, not for the sake of the tsar, but for ourselves. Once we seize power, this intelligence network will become our eyes for understanding the countries of Europe, so this time we must do a good job. Witt said seriously, "In addition, this can also become our training base abroad, the territory here is large enough, we can let the members of the domestic red team come here to receive training, and then return to China, so the safety of this base must be taken seriously." ”
"Haha, Big Stupid Goose, Big Stupid Goose!" Just as Werther was about to explain, there was a crisp child's laughter in the distance, and Werther looked out to see Vadim hitting the white geese wandering in the lake on the shore of the manor. Seeing this, Witt walked and picked up Vadim and said, "Vadim, don't be naughty. ”
Vadim wrapped his legs around Werther's waist, put his hands around Werther's neck and asked softly, "Brother, the manor here is so big, won't we be Russian?" ”
"Well, we can't go back for the time being." Witt replied.
Vadim asked: "In that case, can I go to Vilnius and bring my friends here?" ”
Witt thought for a moment and then said to Arkhipov behind him: "You arrange for a few people to follow Vadim to Vilnius, and bring all his friends, these children can grow up to become the future backbone of our intelligence agency." ”
Arkhipov nodded, then took Vadim and hugged him and said, "Vadim, is it okay to let Brother Vija accompany you?" Vadim nodded happily, and Witt looked at the two with a smile.
That evening, in a room of the manor, which had been a study, Witte faced ten newcomers to the Red Group whom he had never seen before: "Comrades, today is the first time I have met with you, and some of you must have thought that I was an accomplice of the Tsar. ”
Everyone present laughed, and Werther also smiled and said: "What we have done is the most dangerous work, but it is also the most meaningful work, because it is with us that the organization of Marxism in the whole of Russia can grow well and healthily." The purpose of this visit to Germany is simply to form our Russian intelligence network. Although this intelligence network is for the service of the Tsar at this stage, we are ultimately for our country, so here I hope that every comrade will be strict with himself and keep the organization's secrets. ”
"Yes!" Those present replied.
Witt continued: "Our European intelligence unit is codenamed 'Angels', and this time our operation is codenamed 'Polar Bear'. The aim of the operation was to approach the German upper echelons by a number of means, to establish contact with these people, and to obtain through them the information we needed. During this period, you may transform into all kinds of people - including the children of nobles, businessmen, scholars, journalists, etc., so you should study here during this time, so that you can easily solve all kinds of unexpected crises when you officially enter the work in the future. ”
In the Brunwisk Palace in Germany, Kaiser Wilhelm II was asking one of his courtiers: "I heard that the Social Democrats have recently become active again, and many people have come to Berlin, do you know what happened?" ”
The courtier replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, I have heard that a Russian Marxist has come to Berlin, and some of his ideas are very original, which has attracted the Social Democrats. ”
"Oh, I see." Wilhelm II said, "What is the name of this man?" Russia? Could it be that Ulyanov? ”
The courtier replied: "No, that Ulyanov is now exiled to Siberia by the Tsar, I heard that this person's name is Vasily, but I don't know what his specific surname is." ”
Wilhelm II was silent for a while and said, "Let someone investigate and see what kind of person it is." Now we are negotiating new alliances with Austria-Hungary and the Turkish Empire. Russia, the big bear, is a great threat to us in the east, and if there is a way to make Russia chaotic, it will not necessarily be a bad thing for us. ”
"I understand." The courtier replied.
