Chapter 45: Belated Friendship?

Footsteps rang out in the train carriage where Hersman and Chloe were, followed by the sweet and cheerful voice of Grand Duke Olga: "Oh, you haven't slept yet, it's great." ”

"What's going on?" Hersmann stood up and looked at the smiling Grand Duchess, who looked a little fat in Chloe's blue dress - for some reason, the Tsar's family did not carry luggage, so there were no clothes to change. Fortunately, Chloe brought some clothes and changed them for the Tsar's empress and daughters. However, she was a plump woman, and her upper circumference was very impressive, and it was too loose for Olga to wear her clothes.

"Lieutenant Colonel, my father wants to see you, and he has something to ask." The Grand Duchess replied with a smile, and since she had been a prisoner of Hersman, she had been in a very happy and relaxed mood. She knew that the German army major in front of her was definitely not the one who arrested her family and went to Germany to shoot her.

"Chloe, go get a pot of coffee," Hersman said to Chloe with a smile, "I think I'm going to talk to His Majesty the Tsar all night." ”

The Tsar must have a lot of questions to ask, he has been a prisoner for a long time, I'm afraid I don't know if the world war is over, right? In addition, Nicholas II probably will not feel at ease as a duke in Germany, and will definitely try to carry out restoration. And if Wilhelm II can free his hands, I am afraid that he will also support White Russia......

With a belly full of calculations, Hersmann followed Archduchess Olga into the carriage where the Tsar was. This is a relatively clean ordinary passenger car, the windows are welded with steel bars, and the doors used to get on and off the bus are locked. There was only Tsar Nicholas II alone, and he sat in a chair with no expression on his rather upright face, as if it were a stone statue.

"Your Majesty!" Hersmann walked up to the Tsar and bowed.

The Tsar did not react, and there was silence in the carriage, except for the clatter and clatter of wheels against the rails.

"Father, Major Hersman is here." Olga spoke. At this time, the Tsar seemed to wake up from a daydream, and smiled awkwardly at Hersmann: "Major, please take a seat." …… I think you saved me and my family from the Bolsheviks, didn't you? ”

"Yes," Hersmann sat down in front of the Tsar. "This is also an order from His Majesty the Emperor."

"So...... How's the war going? Entente ...... Is it already defeated? ”

"No, in fact the situation of the war was somewhat unfavorable to the Allies." Hersman replied truthfully.

"What?" The tsar seemed to be taken aback. As the monarch of the "most powerful" Russian Empire among the Entente powers, he himself became a prisoner of the Kaiser, and it is incredible that the Entente could have the upper hand without Russia!

"After all, the United States is in the war!" Hersman shrugged, "And the war has been going on for many years, and the Allies are already a little tired...... However, now that peace has been achieved on the Eastern Front, we can concentrate our efforts on the Western Front. ”

"Peace?" The tsar frowned, "With whom?" ”

"The Soviet government, the Soviet government led by the Bolsheviks!"

"The Soviet government led by the Bolsheviks?" The tsar was stunned, "They are still ruling in Petrograd?" I've heard of a Constituent Assembly election...... The Bolsheviks were chosen? ”

"No, they didn't make the ...... The Social Revolutionaries and the Mensheviks were supported by the majority of the Russians. ”

"Then why was there a Soviet government led by the Bolsheviks?" The tsar looked at Hersmann in bewilderment. He had heard about the Constituent Assembly elections when he was under house arrest in Tobolsk, but he did not know the results. Now he was a little confused to learn from Hersman that it was the Socialist-Revolutionaries and the Mensheviks who had won, but that there was still a Soviet government.

"Because the Bolsheviks dispersed the Constituent Assembly......"

"What!? How dare they do that? The tsar stood up abruptly, "The people of Petrograd are just watching?" The Socialist-Revolutionaries and the Mensheviks should have a lot of supporters, right? ”

Hersman said with a smirk: "The Bolsheviks had an army, they suppressed the supporters of the Social Revolutionaries and the Mensheviks with bullets!" ”

"Suppression!" The Tsar's eyes widened. "The crackdown has gone down?"

He has done this before, but the results are always unsatisfactory.

"The Socialist-Revolutionaries and the Mensheviks have not yet been completely suppressed," Hersman said with a smile and in a serious and serious tone, "Your Majesty, in fact your homeland is now in a civil war!" It was a civil war of great proportions, with the Bolshevik Red Army on one side; On one side were the White Army, loyal to the Provisional Government...... And the Red Army controlled the most densely populated and economically developed centers of Russia. The White Army occupied Siberia, the Far East, part of the Urals, and the middle and lower reaches of the Don River.

In addition, the Ukrainian region is currently under a high degree of autonomy under the German 'guarantee', while Finland has officially become independent, and Poland, Courland, Estonia, Livland, and Livornia have all been placed under German protection under the Brest Treaty signed between Russia and Germany! ”

"Oh God! How did Russia become like this? The Tsar cried out in pain. How can they, the anarchists, treat Russia like this! They...... Are you going to ruin my Russia? ”

"Your Majesty, Russia is no longer yours now!"

"Nope! I'm going to get it back! The tsar shouted, "Since they don't cherish Russia, then I'm going to do it again!" I'm going to take Russia back! ”

Take back Russia? Hersmann raised his eyebrows, thinking, take it from Lenin?

"William!" The Tsar called out the name of the German emperor and shouted, "He rescued me from the Bolsheviks not because of a discovery of conscience, but because he wanted to use me against the Bolsheviks." Revolution in Europe is a contagion that must be nipped in the bud...... I can join forces with William! You can join forces with anyone! ”

Joining forces to extinguish the Bolsheviks...... The German Emperor probably really had this idea! Hersman smiled bitterly in his heart: But His Majesty the Emperor is weak, and it won't be long before the two of you will become brothers......

……

"Long live the Emperor! Long live Germany! ”

Cheers rang out on Berlin's train station square, there had been no such cheers for a long time! Hersmann remembers the last time he heard people cheering for the German Kaiser in Berlin at the outbreak of war – and for war, of course!

However, as the war gradually reached a stalemate, the casualties on the front line increased, and the supply in the rear became increasingly tight, and the voices of complaint and opposition overwhelmed the voices of support for the war. It is as if as long as there is complaint and opposition, there will be a peace of "no land and no reparations".

And today, the Tsar, overthrown by the Russians who fantasized about "no land and no reparations", became a "prisoner of war" of the German Empire and was escorted to Berlin! This undoubtedly gave a shot of stimulant to the Germans, who were mired in the quagmire of war!

The newspapers with the largest circulation in Berlin today all wrote on their front pages in bold black letters: The Tsar has been caught, can the King of England still run?

It's very relieving! But it's just a relief.

"Long live the Emperor! Victory belongs to Germany! ”

When the Russian Tsar and his family, dressed in a crisp military uniform, with a ribbon on his shoulders and a blue Order of the Max on his neck, and the Tsar, wearing a yellow-green military coat, looked very down-and-out as he walked out of the waiting hall and stood on the granite steps, the square seemed to be boiling.

It turned out that the German Emperor was getting out of a luxurious carriage dragged by eight white horses, dressed in full military uniform, with a helmet with a golden tip and eagle emblem, and a scepter in his hand. What a winner's gesture!

The Tsar looked at the dense crowd in the square and the Kaiser walking around surrounded by a large number of people in military uniform, his face was blue and white, but finally he took a few sharp breaths of the air of Berlin that he hated, and then squeezed out a few smiles and strode towards the German emperor.

Then we Major Hersmann saw such an incredible scene: Tsar Nicholas II and the German Emperor Wilhelm II embraced each other affectionately, followed by cordial greetings and conversations.

The Kaiser said in a concerned tone: "Nikolai, it is really good to see you! You know, I'm worried when I hear you're in the hands of the anarchists? ”

The Tsar asked with a smirk: "Wilhelm, but I have heard that those anarchists are from Germany, and they were not sent to Russia by you, right?" ”

"How is that possible? I have always been pro-Russian. Nikolai, we are still relatives! ”

The tsar smiled and said: "Yes, we are relatives, and I am also pro-German." Actually, I'm a German! My last name is Romanov. Holstein. Gotop. ”

"Yes, we are compatriots! Germany and Russia should be like brothers! The Kaiser waved his right hand vigorously. We might as well make a statement at the train station, declaring that Russia and Germany are fraternal countries, that we will be friendly forever and that there will be no more wars! ”

The Russian tsar shook the Kaiser's hand hard, "Yes! This is long overdue! We will always be brothers, always friendly! For mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
