Hersmann and Chloe, who had returned to Berlin from Petrograd, were suddenly shaken. Because when they walked out of the Fred Ray Truss train station, they saw a familiar scene: the train station square was crowded with demonstrators!

"Down with the war, peace at once!"

"Long live Germany, Germany will win!"

"Release all ****** and abolish martial law!"

"Shoot the traitor! Long live the Party of the German Fatherland! ”

On the square, there were two groups of people marching in protest, one was pro-war and the other was anti-war!

Chloe grabbed Hersman's arm tightly and said in surprise: "God, have we traveled back in time to Petrograd in April?" ”

Hersman nodded slowly and whispered, "It's a bit similar, but there are also differences, they are bare-handed, whether they support the war or those who want peace, they don't have weapons. ”

Chloe's voice was still low, "But before the February Revolution, the Russian proletariat was also bare-handed!" ”

At this moment, a man of forty or fifty years of age, armed with a cane and dressed in an old white-washed military uniform, walked up to Hersmann and the others, handed over two leaflets, and shouted: "For the German Fatherland!" ”

Chloe took the leaflet and looked at it, it was printed in bold and blackened lead: Long live the German Fatherland Party! Fight to the end!

"The German Fatherland Party?" Chloe was stunned for a moment, "When was it established?" ”

"Last month." Halder's voice came from behind Hersmann and Chloe, who had just enthusiastically gone to hire a warehouse for Hersmann to store the treasures he had scavenged from Petersburg, and Halder was familiar with this, and the headquarters of the Eastern Front had a special warehouse at the Berlin railway station to store the trophies of the officers returning from the front.

Halder explained: "The Fatherland Party is supported by us, and it was only formed last month to deal with the troublemakers! ”

Hersmann knew that this party was a right-wing party founded by Ludendorff in September 1917 to support the military-led government and continue the war to the end. This party did not exist for long, but it grew rapidly, and by September 1918 it had even surpassed the old German Socialist Party to become the largest party in Germany. In a sense, it is the National Socialist Workers' Party that inherits its mantle.

"Ludwig, Ludwig. Feng. Captain Hersman! ”

At this moment, Hersman suddenly heard someone shouting his name, and he followed the voice to see that it was Kesselring. He was dressed in a military uniform and behind him was a carriage with military markings.

"Haha, Albert, you've become a major!" Hersman walked up briskly, and laughed when he saw that Kesselring had attained the rank of major.

"Congratulations! Albert. ”

"It's all thanks to you! By the way, Ludwig, the order to promote you to major has come down, and you will be given a medal. ”

Hersmann and Kesselring hugged in public, and Kesselring said, "Guess what medal?" ”

"Is it an Iron Cross of the First Degree?"

"How is that possible? I got a first-class iron cross. "You will surely get a better medal!" said Kesselring in an envious tone! Because you are now a legend, and even His Majesty the Emperor knows about your deeds, I think you will become a marshal in the future! ”

"You will too!" Hersman replied with a smile, "I'm a firm believer in that. ”

This prophecy has been proven by history, and Kesselring was indeed a military genius, commanding both the Army and the Air Force.

"Albert, let me introduce you, this is Franz. Captain Halder, military adjutant to Prince Leopold, commander-in-chief of the Eastern Front -- this was Albert. Kesselring, a major of the Great General Staff, my friend. ”

Hersmann introduced Halder to Kesselring. Then they got into the carriage together, and the carriage drove down the streets of Berlin when it reached Wilhelmstrasse. Hersman found the streets in shambles, littered with discarded placards and flyers that had not yet had time to be cleaned up.

"Since April, the situation in the country has begun to be chaotic!" Kesselring stayed in Berlin and witnessed the gradual disintegration of the social order and the imminent tide of revolution. "It's getting worse and worse...... Some people above are worried that if it continues, we will become the same as Russia here! ”

"And Russia? It can't be that bad, right? Chloe interjected.

"Impossible!" Kessellin said, "Your Excellency the Admiral has foreseen this, so the Fatherland Party has been formed, and I believe that the Fatherland Party has the strength to defeat them!" It was impossible for the Bolsheviks in Germany to come to power. ”

Hersman shook his head and said in a gloomy tone: "Actually, the Bolsheviks in Russia were very weak at the beginning! ”

"That's all thanks to you!" Kesselring glanced at Hersmann, then at Chloe, and didn't say anything further.

At this time, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on William Street soon arrived, and Chloe was a member of the Foreign Office. Before getting out of the car, she gave Hersmann a note, and then whispered in her ear: "This is my address in Berlin, just off the Kurtstraße, go there tomorrow at five o'clock in the afternoon, and I will introduce you to an antique dealer." ”

"Thanks, I'll definitely go." Hersman hugged Chloe and said goodbye to her.

As soon as Chloe left, Kesselring's chatterbox opened: "Ludwig, His Excellency the Admiral wants to see you, and he will see you immediately!" ”

A general is in a hurry to see a captain, and it seems that there must be a reason why he must see him.

"Is it for peace negotiations?" Hersman asked.

"No, Your Excellency the Admiral wants to know how you helped the Bolsheviks seize power!" Kesselring glanced at Hersmann, "He doesn't want to see a French- or English-speaking Captain Hersmann come to Germany. ”

……

"Your Excellency, I think you have misunderstood, my role in the coming to power of the Bolsheviks was not decisive."

As soon as Hersman arrived at the Grand General Staff, he didn't even drink saliva, changed into a military uniform and was taken to the office of Admiral Ludendorff. He saw two very fine boxes on the admiral's desk, which he guessed were medals and ranks.

Ludendorff did not hand over these two treasures to Hersmann at once, but asked about the causes and consequences of the rise to power of the Russian Bolsheviks - individually, of course.

"Not decisive? Without you, the August Revolution probably wouldn't have happened, right? ”

"Yes, but the Bolsheviks will still come to power, delayed for a maximum of two months."

"Two months? October revolution? You seem to have a lot of confidence in Lenin. ”

"It's not all because of Lenin." Hersmann paused for a moment, looking at Ludendorff, who sat behind his desk like a statue. "It was actually Lenin's opponents who were so stupid that they had a chance to prevent Lenin and the Bolsheviks from seizing power until the day before the August Revolution."

"How to stop it?" Ludendorff asked.

"Peace!" In a heavy tone, Hersman said, "If the tsar had sued for peace in March, he would still be the master of Russia." If Duke Leewoff had sued for peace in April, he would certainly still be in power by now. If Kerensky had sued for peace in July, or even on August 14, he would have been prime minister of the Russian Provisional Government by now. ”

"Well, now that the Bolsheviks have sued for peace, how long do you think their regime will last?"

By 1991! If history hadn't changed significantly!

But Hersmann could not answer that, and he now had to speak for Lenin, lest Ludendorff would kill Soviet Russia endlessly, so as to delay the war on the Western Front.

"Your Excellency, it's up to us!"

He solemnly said: "The rule of the Bolsheviks is still very fragile, and only Petersburg is really consolidated. If we can't support them effectively, maybe by October we'll have to deal with some stubborn Russian general...... In fact, there has never been a shortage of popular opinion in Russia to fight a war. If the road to peace fails, then there will be no shortage of supporters for war, and then we will be mired in a quagmire. ”
