Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Forest of Compiègne

The Third Reich actually had three sources, one in the center of Berlin. Cal. Liebknecht and Philip. Together, Schedemann proclaimed the end of the Second German Reich. Now that a constitutional monarchy is impossible, it is impossible to make the Junker aristocracy, who controlled the German army, a force for the stability of the German state. The newly formed republic, in fact, is a country that does not have an army, and not a single Junker officer will be loyal to it. From now on, the German Army became an independent kingdom, but the Army itself did not have the power to rule the country. So they are waiting for Adolf. Hitler was a politician who was able to unite the middle and lower classes of the German people.

The railway station of Rédaux, in the forest of Compiègne, 60 kilometers north of Paris, was the second source of the Third Reich.

As for the last origin of the Third Reich, of course, it was the Palace of Versailles in Paris.

It was November 11, 1918, and the unprecedented victory was in the hands of Philip Murphy. In front of Fuxi. The German Empire collapsed, there was no more, Berlin was occupied by revolutionaries. They elected the Soviets and the Council of People's Commissars on the 10th. The socialist parties had come to power, and the millions of German troops at the front had lost their allegiance.

"How similar it is to Russia in March 1917!" At 5 o'clock in the morning, after breakfast, the commander-in-chief of the Allied forces, Fuxi, who was waiting for the German delegation to come and surrender, stood in his command train and said to his chief of staff, Admiral Wei Gang: "If we refuse their surrender, then that Council of People's Commissars in Berlin will collapse in a few weeks!" ”

Some dry skinny diminutive Maxim. Wei Gang looked at Marshal Fuxi, who was already old, had personally experienced the Franco-Prussian War, and was determined to take revenge, and said in a somewhat hoarse voice: "If the Council of People's Commissars in Berlin falls, I am afraid that they will be replaced by the Spartacists...... They were real Bolsheviks, just like the Russian Bolsheviks! ”

"So what?" Philip. Fuxi touched his white beard, "We can defeat them!" The Bolsheviks in Germany, the Bolsheviks in Hungary, and the Bolsheviks in Russia! Now is the time when these three countries are at their weakest, do you understand? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! ”

The coalition forces also have millions of fighters armed to the teeth, and they also provide weapons and supplies to the big guy of the United States. And the Bolsheviks in Germany, Hungary and Russia were so weak. If they fight for another year or two, they can all be crushed, so that France can dominate Europe, and peace will be truly guaranteed.

But the politicians of Britain and the United States feared a new world war - a great war between capitalism and the Bolsheviks!

"It is also possible that the war will continue for several more years, with millions of soldiers killed and wounded...... General Wei Gang reminded in a whisper. In fact, France is already on the edge of the precipice! ”

If it weren't for the timely action of the Americans, it would have been France that would have collapsed now! If the United States and Britain are willing to continue to accompany them, let their millions of soldiers fight hard for a few more years. Then there was no soil for the Third Reich - or a world revolution, and the red flag was planted all over the world; Or Germany and Soviet Russia were completely crushed in the early 20s. It is a pity that Britain and the United States have no interest in the choice between French hegemony in Europe and world revolution.

"But with such a light sparing of Germany, we will not get peace at all, but a truce of twenty years!" Marshal Fuxi once again reiterated his opinion. "Twenty years from now, we will regret our short-sightedness today."

In his opinion, the Armistice at Compiègne Forest was too lenient for Germany. It has reached the point of inexcusability - the agreement does not even provide for the complete disarmament of the German army! Germany was simply asked to hand over 5,000 artillery pieces, 25,000 machine guns, 3,000 mortars, 1,700 aircraft, 5,000 locomotives, 150,000 wagons and 5,000 trucks, as well as most of the ships of the German Navy. This meant that Germany still had the armed forces to maintain the unity of the country and the basic integrity of its territory after the armistice. Germany will not fall apart on its own, it will still be a unified country, with a population of at least 60 million, a territory larger than France, and still significantly more industrial power than France. As soon as Germany is relieved, they will come for revenge!

As the victor, Marshal Fuxi's mood was extremely heavy at the moment. After ten hours on the road, Erzberg, the representative of the German government, who had just arrived in the Compiègne Forest, was even more heavy. Because the empire to which he was loyal was gone, the emperor was gone, the government collapsed, and now Berlin was ruled by a Council of People's Commissars elected by some Soviet! Sounds like Soviet Russia......

And the Entente side ...... The promised "Fourteen Points Peace Conditions" looks like waste paper. Just a temporary truce, the Entente demanded that the Germans hand over so many weapons and almost the entire fleet! I am afraid it is conceivable what kind of demands they will make at the peace conference that follows. And by that time, Germany would most likely have been plunged into a terrible civil war!

……

"Truce!"

This was said in a relieved tone, and Schleicher's eyes were red as he walked into the office, but his face was full of excitement.

"Ludwig, Germany is saved!" He sat down in the chair across from Hersman, "not disarming us all...... Just hand over 5,000 cannons and 25,000 machine guns, and we still have a lot of weapons! And the Germans on the Eastern Front did not need to retreat immediately. ”

Germany, which had supported a world war and almost won the final victory, certainly had a lot of weapons stockpiles, and its industrial capacity was clear. Now all you need to do is hand over some old cannons and machine guns, and then go to the storeroom to get the brand new ones.

"Then we can gather an army to come to Berlin!" With his eyes closed, Hersman could guess what was going to happen next.

"Yes, there will be ten divisions, it has already been said." Schleicher said excitedly, "Chancellor Albert will also order all the officials of the former imperial ministries to remain in their original posts." The original hierarchical subordination of the army would be retained, the command of officers would be restored, and the Soviets would be forbidden to intervene in the affairs of the High Command. The situation after the February Revolution in Russia will not be the same. ”

After the February Revolution, the Provisional Government, under pressure from the Petrograd Soviet of Workers' and Soldiers' Deputies, ordered the establishment of a system of soldiers' councils in all Russian troops, with the leadership exercised by the soldiers' councils. It is tantamount to depriving the officers of their powers and letting the army of Tsarist Russia fall apart. And the Soviets, controlled by the German Social Democrats and the Independent Social Democrats, now gave the opposite order, strengthening, rather than weakening, the leadership of the Junkers over the army.

"Liebknecht is finished!" Hersman affirmed, "He didn't have much strength, at least no army." ”

This was the weakness of the Bolshevik Party in Germany, and some workers could not resist the veterans who had come down from the battlefields of the First World War.

"Ludwig, Field Marshal Hindenburg also gave orders by telephone from the headquarters of Spa Spa." Schleicher grinned, "He was so pleased with our performance that he decided to promote me to colonel and take over the Central Department (Personnel Division) of the General Staff while you took over the Military Intelligence Directorate." ”

The order to take over the Military Intelligence was expected by Hersmann, because Germany did not need the Military Intelligence from now on, it needed an internal secret police service. And Stasi is! Colonel Kovar T. Nikolai clearly had no talent for this, and Hersman was the most suitable candidate.

And after the war, the military intelligence will definitely be reduced, it may be a department, it may even be a group. Such a miniature intelligence agency was of no use at all, and the only way to give the Germans a powerful secret service after the war was to secretly integrate the intelligence service or group with the Stasi.

"Well, I will definitely live up to the trust of His Excellency the Marshal." Hersmann looked at Schleicher, "Colonel, does Your Excellency Marshal have any other instructions?" ”

"He wants you to go to Riga immediately...... Escort the coffins of His Majesty the Tsar and his wife and son! Alas, I really didn't expect that the Russian Bolsheviks would be so obsessed with killing the Tsar. Now that Olga is determined to be the Empress, I really don't know how to comfort her. Ludwig, this task is up to you. ”
