Chapter 13 Stalin was also confused?
"What nonsense are you all talking about in Pravda?!
Who told you to support the coalition government?!
Who made you unite with the Mensheviks?! β
Lenin's good friend Kerensky beat Lenin and left, and then Lenin's two little brothers came again, and this time it was Lenin's turn to put on a straight face and teach people.
One of the two little brothers who had been taught by Lenin, Hersman recognized it at a glance. He was short and short, with a big mustache, a large, straight nose, and a pair of eyes that revealed an eerie gaze under a pair of thick eyebrows like scimitars. He is Comrade Stalin! The second-generation leadership core of the Soviet Union, the fatherly leader of the socialist camp, a man with a strong will of steel.
Be sure to have good relations with Stalin! Hersman was secretly determined that he wanted to be an old friend of the Soviet people. In less than ten years, Stalin will be able to represent the Soviet people, and to become an old friend of Stalin is to be friends with the entire Soviet people.
Although Stalin will be very good in the future, but now he can only be honestly trained in front of the great teacher, but occasionally he can say a word or two.
"Comrade Lenin, now our strength is not enough, not enough to build a proletariat ****, and it is beneficial for us to support the coalition government."
Iron Stalin defended in a whisper, and from time to time he glanced at a well-mannered man with gold-rimmed glasses - Kamenev, the representative of the Bolsheviks in the Petrograd Soviet, who, together with Stalin, presided over the work of the Bolshevik Central Committee until Lenin's return, and was also responsible for the administration of Pravda. Under his and Stalin's auspices, the Bolsheviks took a position in favor of the Provisional Government and renounced their unconditional opposition to the war. At the same time, they spoke at the Petersburg Committee (the Petersburg Committee of the Bolsheviks) with a demand to postpone the creation of the proletariat ****.
"yes, we don't have enough strength." "There were less than 5,000 Bolsheviks in all Russia, and only 2,300 in Petersburg," Kamenev said. With this strength, it is impossible for us to seize power. β
No way? Hersmann looked at Comrade Lenin with some admiration, it was already April 1917, and in 7 months the Bolsheviks would seize power in Russia! In their original history, they would have been in power until the end of 1991! And in this history that will be changed by itself, they are likely to be in power until the 21st century...... As long as neither the Third Reich nor the American Empire fell, the Red Soviets could rest easy.
"It's not that the strength is not enough, it's that the brain is confused!"
Comrade Lenin was so angry with the two younger brothers that his face turned pale, and he waved his arms vigorously to strengthen his tone: "It is you who are so confused, you are almost comparable to Kerensky!" Don't you understand how the February revolution happened? Don't you know that the Russian ** team has actually collapsed? Soldiers' Soviets were formed in each regiment of the front, the officers lost power, the soldiers did not want to fight at all, and they had a party with the Germans for three days and two heads...... How can such an army sustain the war? I thought only Kerensky was so naΓ―ve, and so are you!
And don't you know that in Petersburg the really decisive force was 150,000 soldiers of the garrison? Do they want to go to the front and fight the Germans? Do they want to build a proletariat ****? They are power! β
A mentor is a mentor! Standing behind Lenin, Hersmann suddenly remembered the slogan shouted by another great man at a meeting on August 7, 1927: "Power comes from the barrel of a gun!"
This seems to be the case in Petersburg today. Most of the Russian army was defeated by the Germans at the front. And the so-called "garrison" defending Petersburg, the capital of Russia, was actually not an elite division (the elite divisions of Russia were all called the Germans, but a reserve army recruited from the workers and peasants of Petersburg, and they did not have time to train and organize properly, to put it bluntly, they were a group of proletarians with guns!
The revolution that overthrew the Tsar in February succeeded in large part because the Tsar wanted to transfer 150,000 garrisons from Petersburg to the front to the trenches......
ββ¦β¦ Freely! Bread! Peace! Land! These four things were what they wanted, and by the February Revolution they were freed to organize the Soviets of the Soldiers, and no longer had to obey orders. But they don't get peace, bread and land! These three things will not be given by the Provisional Government, nor by the Socialist-Revolutionaries and the Mensheviks. And we must repeatedly emphasize to the workers, peasants and soldiers that by following the Bolsheviks, there will be land, bread and peace! Do you understand? As long as we can get the support of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the garrison in Petrograd, we will be able to take power! We will take Russia! β
Stalin and Kamenev looked at each other and were suspicious of the line pointed out by Lenin...... Russia now has millions of troops! Even with the support of hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the garrison in Petersburg, the Bolsheviks could only control one city and not all of Russia?
But Hersmann knew that Lenin led the Bolsheviks to conquer all of Russia!
"You don't believe me?" Lenin suddenly turned around and said to Hersman, "Comrade Antonov, take Comrade Stalin and Comrade Kamenev into the car and let them see what I have brought back from Germany!" β
Hersmann was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that Comrade Lenin was going to tell Stalin and Kamenev: he did not come back from abroad empty-handed!
"Come with me, two." Hersman nodded to the future great leader of the Soviet Union and Kamenev, who was about to be shot, and then took the two of them into the carriage with the Golden Mark.
Cal. Stockhausen and Ettel were still in the carriage, the former holding a loaded box gun. If the soldiers brought by Kerensky just now dared to touch Lenin, he would have shot immediately!
In addition, on the dining car next to this carriage were another twenty-three plainclothes Germans armed with box guns. If Kerensky had been to use force just now, the Finnish railway station in Petersburg would have been a fire.
"Comrade Green, please open the box!" Hersmann said to Ettel in German.
Ettel was also stunned, looked at the two Russians who had followed Hersmann, and finally took out the key, tore off the seal on one of the boxes, and then opened the box. I saw thousands of gold marks shining brightly, lying quietly inside.
"It's Kim Mark," Hersman said to Stalin and Kamenev, "there are sixty boxes, a total of 1,200,000 Gold Marks!" And this is only the first aid to Comrade Lenin, and soon a second or third will be delivered. β
How much aid Wilhelm II intended to give Lenin, Captain Hersmann did not know. But he had heard of a figure in later life: 50 million gold marks, which was almost equal to nine tons of gold!
Stalin and Kamenev looked at each other, and both showed excited looks: what a play!
As followers of Lenin and loyal Bolsheviks, they didn't care at all whose money Lenin took, what they cared about was whether Lenin had money or not...... If Lenin had returned to Russia empty-handed, the future of the Bolsheviks would have been a bit in suspense.
For both of them knew that the leaders of the Russian revolutionaries of all factions who had been in exile during this time were rushing back, and that most of them did not return empty-handed. Plekhanov, the head of the Mensheviks, was returning home from Italy with the Golden Lira. The anarchist Kropotkin would return home with British pounds, as did Chernov, the leader of the Social Revolutionaries. And the reason why Duke Wolf and Kerensky of the Provisional Government gritted their teeth and wanted to fight the Germans to the end was also because the American dollar was playing its magic!
At this time, the music of the "La Marseillaise" sounded, and the cheers of the people became more enthusiastic. Stalin looked at Hersman: "Comrade Antonov, Lenin is about to start his speech, let's go and listen to it together." β
Hersmann nodded, and together with Etter, followed Stalin and Kamenev briskly towards the station square, and as they passed through the waiting hall, they saw several men with gloomy faces and overcoats leaving angrily. Apparently Lenin had just quarreled with them here - they were the executive members of the Petrograd Soviet, Tsikhze, and Skobelev, who had come with Kerensky.
When Hersmann walked out of the station, the square was dark and crowded with people who had come to welcome Lenin. He saw that Lenin had already boarded an armored truck, raised a hand forward, and shouted: "Comrades! I salute the masses of the proletariat and soldiers of the Russian Revolution for your victorious revolution against the tsarist ****. β¦β¦ But now someone wants to bring you another tsar - capitalism, but the factories should not belong to the capitalists, but to you, and the land should not belong to the landlords, but to the peasants! β¦β¦ Throw away the dirty shirt of social democracy! Down with the regime of the compromisers and capitalists! β¦β¦ The proletariat of the whole world watched with hopeful eyes the courageous steps of the Russian workers. β
Lenin raised his arms and shouted: "Long live the socialist revolution in the whole world!" β
"Long live the revolution! Down with capitalism! Divide the land equally! Increase wages! The crowd in the square also cheered enthusiastically. For mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
