"Long live the Liberal Socialist Republic!"

Philip. Shchedeman's ears rang with cheers that shook the ground! After Liebknecht raised the red flag and delivered an impassionate speech to thousands of workers and soldiers on the balcony of the official residence of the royal city, finally proclaiming the birth of the "Free Socialist Republic". The cheers filled the entire street and the square in front of the Wangcheng Residence.

Finished! It's all over! Philip. Schedeman's mood suddenly fell to the bottom. The last hope of maintaining the monarchy has been dashed! It also meant that cooperation between the Social Democrats and the Juncker officer corps would never be pleasant, and the latter would at any time abandon or even overthrow the Social Democrats with a coup d'état.

Without the cooperation of Juncker and the Social Democrats, Germany's democratic system would never have been consolidated. If the Entente violated the Fourteen Points of Peace again, they forced Germany to cede too much land and pay too much reparations. Then Germany will be overwhelmed by uncontrollable anger......

Scheidmann was appointed by Albert to negotiate with Liebknecht on behalf of the Social Democrats at the Intramural residence, where the SPD and the Independent SPD were now entrenched in the Reichstag, while the Spartacists occupied the Intramural residence. Albert hoped that the other side would support the monarchy, because it was the only way to maintain democracy and stability in Germany.

But now, there is no need to meet again! Because the FRE was unacceptable, and the initiative of the revolution could not fall into the hands of the Spartacists.

Scheedman turned around and ran towards the Capitol, not like a half-old man in his fifties, and the distance of 800 meters was almost completed in one go. In front of the Reichstag, there were also many people and soldiers who participated in the uprising, all of whom supported the Social Democrats and the Independent Social Democrats, the German Bolshevik Party, which had not yet been formed, and the two Social Democrats had a large social base. Even if they were slow to react to the Berlin uprising, they still had a big base. But from today onwards, their base will begin to slowly dissolve......

Hersmann, Schleicher, Schulenburg, and several other colonel-level officers gathered in a small conference room on the second floor of the Reichstag, where Albert and Ahaz were also present. All the people were shocked by the cheers coming from outside - not a republic, but a socialist republic!

Socialist republic? Are they really cheering for the socialist republic? A sneer appeared on the corner of Hersmann's mouth: they were actually cheering for the Third German Reich! Cheering for another world war! It's just that they don't know it......

At this time, Scheadman ran in like a gust of wind, and without saying hello to Albert, he rushed straight to the balcony. The crowd in the square below knew Scheadman, and the originally noisy scene suddenly fell silent. Everyone craned their necks, ready to listen to Schedeman's shout.

"Long live the Free German Republic!" Scheadman shouted.

"Long live the Free German Republic! Long live the Republic! The crowd immediately followed suit.

"Oh God! What is he shouting! Albert jumped up suddenly, ran to the balcony in three or two steps, and dragged Scheedman in. The president of the German Social Democratic Party turned pale, his hands trembled, and he slammed his fist on the table and roared: "Is this true? Are you really chanting republican? You don't have the right to do that! ”

"It's a must! Otherwise Germany will become another Russia! Scheadman was justifying his actions, "We must take the leadership of the revolution, it is a must!" It cannot fall into the hands of the Bolsheviks......"

"But you ruined Germany! Destroyed the German state of constitutional monarchy, for which our Social Democrats fought and wanted to build! ”

Albert yelled, "You know, it's the only way in Germany...... We can't do without an emperor! ”

He pointed to the three officers in the room: "They! They only listen to the emperor! ”

Junker officers may not only listen to the emperor, but most of them will support the emperor. Now that the Social Democrats and the Spartacists have destroyed the Emperor, they are Junker's opponents.

Three Junker officers, you look at me, I look at you, and no one speaks. To be silent is to acknowledge...... They are all royalists! Whoever dares to say that he is not, then don't mix up with the Rongke circle.

This Junkers is a big circle, Hersmann, Schlenburg and Schleicher are all insiders, and they are the kind that mix well. If their luck is not too bad, with their current status, they will be able to become the chief of the general staff and the first quartermaster in the future. So the butt can't be crooked, otherwise someone will be kicked out of the Junker circle, but there will be no future at all.

……

Albert and Scheidman had been arguing for a long time, but nothing had changed. On 10 November, Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany, after asking about the attitudes of 28 generals (only one of whom said it could be suppressed), left Belgium in disgrace and fled to the Netherlands to seek refuge. The Second German Reich, once glorious, officially came to an end.

On the same day, the "Congress of Soviets of Workers and Soldiers in Berlin" was held at the Berlin Busch Circus. As a result of the Trojan horses planted beforehand, the soldiers and workers who supported the Social Democrats were in the majority of the deputies. Although aware of this, Liebknecht made a speech at the meeting, pointing out that the counter-revolutionaries had infiltrated the congress and calling on everyone to be more vigilant. But his speech had the opposite effect - Lenin would not have said the same thing, because it was an attack on the Soviets, an attempt to put himself in opposition to the Soviet deputies - in a later vote. The Social Democrats and the Independent Social Democrats achieved an overwhelming majority.

The 24-member "Berlin Soviet Executive Committee" consisted of 6 members each from the SPD and the Independent SPD, and 12 deputies from the Soldiers' Soviets (all Trojans) under their control. The Spartacists were wiped out, and not a single member of the executive committee was found. Practically excluded from the Soviets. The six members of the Council of People's Commissars, all members of the Social Democratic Party and the Independent Social Democratic Party, were Albert (who became chancellor), Scheadmann, Landsburg, Ahaz, Dietmann and Barthes. Again, there was not a single Spartacist.

In this way, the Spartacists, who led the November Revolution, became completely oppositional. Faced with this unexpected situation, Liebknecht followed Lenin's example in April 1917 and put forward three demands: (1) Germany must become a socialist republic; (2) that all power must be transferred to the Soviets; (3) It is necessary to be clear about the members of the bourgeoisie in the government.

"Humph!" Schleicher threw a copy of the newly published Red Flag on his desk and gritted his teeth and said, "These Bolsheviks want to kill us all!" These traitors to Germany. Do you say, Ludwig? ”

In one of the offices of the General Staff, all eyes were on Hersmann.

This is the office of the Sheriff's Office, but the officers gathered here are from various departments of the General Staff. Most of them were lieutenant colonels, majors, and there was one colonel, Colonel Val T. Nikolai of the Military Intelligence Directorate, and a general named von Leeder.

Hersman knew he had to take a clear stand. "Yes! That's what this Liebknecht intended. ”

"That's what Lenin was advocating, right?" Major General Lieder grumbled, "This ungrateful villain, without us, he simply could not have come to power!" ”

"It's our own problem!" Hersman said in a firm tone, "It was we who brought Liebknecht and Rosa. Luxembourg was released from prison, not Lenin! We can shoot them! Franz. Merlin, Clara. Zetkin they should also be shot, it is completely possible, we did it in Polo! ”

"Is it okay now?" Major General Riedel asked.

"It's never too late to do something like this!" Hersman said, "There is no need to think about relations with Soviet Russia...... Cooperation is cooperation, and repression is repression, these are two different things. Lenin wouldn't have cared for Liebknecht's life! ”

"So it was decided," said Schleicher, who was only a lieutenant colonel, but became the head of the crowd. "The Spartacist League (which has just been reorganized, and is now an Alliance) must be suppressed. But now we need to get the army in our hands. We're going to organize the Freikorps in Berlin...... The military academy, the Guards, and the troops stationed in Tsosen and Potsdam were to be brought under control. ”

Then he said to Hersmann in a commanding tone: "Ludwig, you can't go back to Riga yet, Colonel Nikolai is going to the headquarters of Spa...... You are in charge of the intelligence work and report directly to me. ”

At this moment, someone suddenly broke in as if flying. It was one of Hersman's agents, dressed in an old military uniform in the gray of the wilderness, gasping for air, apparently galloping all the way over. Only to hear him shout loudly in German with a Russian accent: "Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, the Tsar, the Tsar's family is dead!" ”
