Liu Peng squeezed through the crowd to the foyer of the prime minister's palace and showed his diplomat and party ID — an honorable member of the Chinese GCD, of course, with boxes of blank party cards in the embassy's storage room. After the capture of Berlin by the German GCD, every Chinese who remained in Berlin got one! The German Red Army soldiers guarding the gate politely let Comrade Liu Peng in. Inside, the stirring revolutionary atmosphere in Berlin turned into a scene of panic as if a catastrophe was imminent. Boxes and bundles of confiscated supplies were piled up on the marble floor, waiting to be shipped. Men and women, most dressed as workers, with red armbands on their arms, all with nervous and solemn expressions, ran around with rapid steps, busy preparing for retreat or revolution. There were also women and children who were being brought in through another door, presumably the families of the great men of Soviet Germany, who could not stay and die if the reactionaries recaptured Berlin. Liu Peng hurriedly walked through several open doors and walked up the spiraling stone staircase to the door of the former German Chancellor's office, which was now Ernst. Where Thälmann led the German Revolution. The door was guarded by the most loyal German working class. Liu Peng took out his pistol and handed it to them, and then showed his ID and explained the reason for asking to see them. A sweet-looking German girl pushed the door in to report the news, and a German young man was responsible for searching Liu Peng's body. The girl forgot to close the office door, and there was a quarrel inside.

"Tälman! Are you crazy? "This is the voice of a middle-aged woman, and Liu Peng guesses that it should be the Empress Dowager Stasova who is reprimanding Emperor Ernst." We don't have the strength to defend Berlin! Your Red Army is not yet a real army. They can't beat the stormtroopers of the Nazi Party and the Wehrmacht! ”

"And the Soviet Red Army! And the proletarians of the whole world! Thälmann's voice was a little low, completely devoid of the bearing of the speech he had just given on the balcony.

"News came from the French GCD that the French government was ready to carry out a general mobilization after learning that the Red Army was going to march into East Prussia! The UK is also expected to follow in a few days! ”

"Can't we unite to defeat them?"

"Can't!" Stasova said coldly: "The Political Bureau (United Communist Party) has decided that a major war with the Western countries must be avoided - the news that the march to East Prussia will be announced tomorrow morning is a rumor, the war will end on the German-Polish border, and the Red Army will not enter Germany." ”

"But, Comrade Stasova, what are we going to do......"

"Abandon Berlin, move to East Prussia and seize there, and establish a consolidated Soviet Germany."

"Two ...... Two Germanys? ”

At this moment, the voice of the German girl's report interrupted the conversation between Thälmann and Stasova. Then I heard Thälmann say, "All right. Let him in. ”

Liu Peng walked into the spacious office full of German GCDs and GC international consultants. Most of the people were sad, and it was clear that the revolutionary form was not as good as it was advertised - in fact, until now, the only city that was really controlled by the German GCD was Berlin! The armed uprisings that took place elsewhere in Germany had either failed or were failing. Now wait for the Wehrmacht and the stormtroopers of the Nazi Party to enter Berlin and dare them to leave, unless the Soviet Union is willing to help the Polish people to establish proletarian power before they come to the war for the German people.

"Welcome, comrade of the Chinese GCD." Ernst. Thälmann said in a tired voice. "What's the matter?"

"Mr. President, the Ambassador of our Government to Germany, Mr. Bernard Chiang, is on his way to Berlin, and he has been entrusted by Mr. Hitler, the leader of the German Nazi Party, to deliver a letter to you and the German Soviet Government."

"Hmph. Is it persuasion? You go and tell your ambassador that it's better not to come to Berlin. The German GCD will live and die with Berlin! ”

"Okay. I know. Liu Peng didn't mean to persuade anymore, but turned around and prepared to leave. He had just heard some very valuable news, and he wanted to go back and report to Nanjing.

"Wait a minute." Stasova hurriedly made a gesture at Liu Peng, signaling him not to leave yet. She said to Thälmann: "You should meet the Chinese ambassador. ”

Thälmann knew that this was an order from Comrade Stasova, and also an order from GC International! He turned to Liu Peng, his face full of displeasure. "Comrade Liu, please tell Mr. Chinese Ambassador that we welcome him to Berlin. As Adolf. Hitler's envoys! ”

……

When Liu Peng's secret telegram to Nanjing was sent to Chang Ruiqing's desk. He is kindly receiving a big beauty of GC International - Natalie. Comrade Lesinskaya. The beauty looked very pleasant, because her Polish homeland was being trampled by the iron hooves of the Soviet Red Army! That's a cause for celebration. And the purpose of her visit to Chang Ruiqing today is also related to this matter, GC International instructed her to put forward a request to the Chinese GCD leaders for China's recognition of Soviet Poland. At present, Mao Zd, chairman of the Chinese G, is still visiting Wèn in Moscow, and among the Chinese and G leaders who stayed in Nanjing, Natalie likes to deal with Chang Ruiqing the most, so she went to the Tangshan official residence to ask for a meeting.

Probably Natalie's stunning beauty played a role, and Chang Ruiqing, who had resolutely disagreed with the recognition of Soviet Germany, actually readily agreed to let China establish diplomatic relations with Soviet Poland.

"Let's have a drink and celebrate." Chang Ruiqing picked up a tall glass bottle and poured wine into two thick carved glasses—all of which were domestic. At present, the progress of China's heavy industry construction is slow, but the development of private or foreign-invested light industry is unusually fast. He handed a wine glass to Natalie, and the beauty stretched out her jade hand and gently touched Chang Ruiqing's big hand, and then took the wine glass with a smile and took a sip. Just wanted to speak. Zeng Qi sent in Liu Peng's telegram from the Military Intelligence Bureau.

"Oh, it's a German thing. Our German friends looked like they were about to fail. Chang Ruiqing glanced at the telegram and showed a regretful expression. This is precisely why we cannot recognize Soviet Germany. ”

Natalie didn't speak, just winked at Chang Ruiqing and let off a little electricity. But it didn't work. Chang Ruiqing is lustful. But as his status gets higher and higher, he no longer dares to accept the love of women, and only women who have been secretly examined by the Military Intelligence Bureau and the Central Security Bureau are likely to become his new favorites - such as a Japanese spy Xiao Lori disguised as Miss Sun San!

"Comrade Lesinskaya, let me tell you one more thing." Chang Ruiqing said to her with a polite look. "Now that the world is on the brink of a world war, the message I received from the British and French ambassadors was this: as soon as the Soviet Red Army set foot on German soil, it would mean total war! I don't want to see a big war between the Soviet Union and Britain, France and Germany, and I don't think the Soviet Union can win, so I want you to tell Moscow and ask them to take it as they see it. ”

"Okay, I see." Natalie didn't tell lies like the other GC international executives. She never thought that she had the kind of eloquence to convince someone like Chang Ruiqing, she just wanted to get into Chang Ruiqing's bed and let the other party enjoy her body to the fullest - what to do after that had to wait for instructions from above.

"Well, that's it." Chang Ruiqing didn't look at this stunner more, waved his hand and motioned for her to leave. After she walked away accompanied by her secretary, Chang Ruiqing waved his hand at Zeng Qi again and motioned for him to sit down. "Mu Han, what do you think of Liu Peng's report, did they deliberately let him hear it?"

"Deliberately?" Zeng Qi was stunned for a moment. Chang Ruiqing continued his train of thought and said: "It should be Stasova who figured out what message Liu Peng conveyed to us. No, it's figuring out what signals we send to the West. Now the spirits of both the West and the USSR are tense. The West will not give a damn about the three Baltic states, which have been ruled by Russia for hundreds of years...... Poland is probably reluctantly acceptable, but Germany is different. If the Red Army had gone in, there would really have been a world war...... Maybe the USSR was ready to hit the brakes at the last minute of the outbreak of a world war? Perhaps Trotsky never intended to take Germany, but only Poland, the three Baltic states, and East Prussia. ”

"There's a possibility." Zeng Qi said. "It seems that this time Lenin and Trotsky will make a lot of money!"

"But they also made a strict mistake." Chang Ruiqing shook his head.

"What do you mean?"

"East Prussia!" Chang Ruiqing gently turned the glass in his hand. "That would be a big mistake! As long as there was a Soviet Germany in East Prussia, the West would completely loosen the chains that bound Germany - because there was an inextricable knot between Germany and the Soviet Union. They can only obediently act as a bulwark against GCISM. ”

Zeng Qi's eyes rolled. "That's a good thing for us! The Soviet Union and Germany have become mortal enemies, and they can only focus on the west, and we will not be able to develop with peace of mind? ”

"It's safe to develop, not only us, but also Hitler!"

……

"Mr. Sir, Mr. Ambassador. Our representative in Berlin, Germany, has just received reliable information. The German GCD was really ready to evacuate, and they withdrew the territory of Tongguò Poland to East Prussia, where Soviet power was established. ”

An hour after Natalie left Chang Ruiqing's residence, Sir Eston, the British ambassador to China, and the French ambassador to China, Fu Leyou, were already sitting in a living room entirely decorated in Chinese style in the Tangshan residence. Holding a steaming cup of tea, I was listening to Chang Ruiqing.

Now relations between the USSR and the West are already in tension. If it weren't for the strong combat effectiveness shown by the Soviet Red Army and the Polish Belt and Road Party, Britain and France would probably have declared war on the Soviet Union! And now, frightened Britain and France, although they did not dare to declare war, had also cut off all official and unofficial contacts with the Soviet Union. So China has become a bridge between them and the Soviet Union to transmit information to each other, and the two ambassadors who were supposed to play the role of the emperor of the Beiyang government in history are now like two schoolchildren who listen carefully. After Chang Ruiqing finished speaking, it took a long time before they glanced at each other, and the British ambassador Eston asked questions.

"Mr. Chairman, are you saying that the Russians are going to occupy East Prussia?"

"No, not the occupation by the Russians, but the Soviet government of the Germans themselves, which may claim to represent the whole German people."

"Oh, that's right." The French ambassador seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and seemed to take the division of Germany as good news. "Will China recognize this Soviet Germany?"

"No, it won't." Chang Ruiqing's answer was very crisp.

"Well, we'll relay the news to London and Paris."

Chang Ruiqing nodded. Laughing: "It seems acceptable for Germany to lose East Prussia, isn't it?" ”

"And Poland, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia! Now the prestige of Western countries is about to plummet. Eston said bitterly.

"That's better than fighting a world war." Chang Ruiqing probed.

"It's better than fighting a world war, at least in the eyes of those who oppose the war." The British ambassador said hatefully.

In other words, the imperialist camp is really fragile now, and Britain has just made heavy concessions on the Irish question. As a chain reaction to Ireland's de facto independence, India's Gandhi A-3 has recently gone on a hunger strike again. The non-violent non-cooperation movement also gained momentum, and even British Burma was affected, and an independence activist named Bhamo imitated Gandhi's methods against the British. The French also had a lot of trouble there, and French Indochina now also has a "Gandhi" named Nguyen Ai Nguyen. He also called on the Annanites to use non-violent means to oppose the French colonial authorities! Moreover, the troubles of Britain and France are still limited to the colonies, and the GCDs in their country have also made a lot of trouble during this time, organizing the masses to protest in the streets every day, leading the workers to launch strikes, and now the streets of Britain and France are almost a sea of red flags! Let the capitalists of these two imperialist countries tremble one by one, for fear that one day these GCD people will invite the great Soviet Red Army to their own country, just like the Polish G.

But it's one thing to be afraid, it's another thing to muster the courage to fight. The parliaments of England and France were at loggerheads over whether to go to war with the Soviet Union in defense of Poland. In the end, the anti-war forces always have a slight upper hand. What is now Poland and the three Baltic states is like Czechoslovakia in another time and space. Become an outcast!

As for Germany, although the newspapers of Britain and France are now shouting every day that they will defend it, when the Soviet Red Army continues to march into Germany, only God knows whether these two countries will have the determination to go to war with the Soviet Union. Now the Soviets themselves have chosen to retreat, which is really a bit of a manifestation of God.

……

Lenin and Trotsky, while giving the German GCD an armed workers' uprising, also gave a directive to exterminate all White Russians, aristocrats, capitalists, old officers, Junker landlords and a reactionary big intellectual on the lands of Soviet Germany! The elimination of these people was very advantageous for the rapid consolidation of power in Soviet Germany. When Thälman and Raddick received this instruction, they also patted their chests and promised to complete the task.

But now, Soviet power in Germany looks unlikely to be consolidated. Hundreds of thousands of Nazi People's SAs and the Wehrmacht were pouring into Berlin from the east and south. The Red Army, on the other hand, was less than 150,000 men. And an out-and-out rabble! It was impossible to defend Berlin on their own, and the only way out was to retreat to East Prussia. This is also the instruction of GC International, and the German G has also decided to implement it.

So now there is a conundrum in front of the German GCD. Since the Soviet power could not be preserved, should the instructions for the elimination of this and that be carried out be carried out?

Ernst. Thälmann handed over the handwritten letter from Hitler that Jiang Baili had just handed over to him to the German GCD high-level and GC international advisers who had come to the meeting for reading. After everyone had finished reading it, he exhaled lightly and said in a low voice, "What should I do?" In the end, do you want to kill or not? ”

"Kill! Of course you have to kill! Raddic slapped the table and stood up. These are the enemies of the German revolution and the world revolution! It must be killed! Only then will it be possible for us to win the victory of the German revolution in the future! ”

"Would you like to ask Moscow again?" Thälmann looked hesitant. There are so many people to kill! And most of them are not guilty of crimes punishable by the death penalty - unlike in Russia. In the history of Germany, there were many small countries, and each small country would have a large number of nobles, so the number of German nobles was far greater than that of the Russian nobles, and most of them had no power at all and only an empty title! The number of old officers was also very large. The number of German troops in World War I was around 10 million, and there were hundreds of thousands of officers, to say the least! Of course, the most heinous ones like Hindenburg and Ludendorff should be killed, but should those petty officers who are only ensigns and lieutenants also be killed? As for the great German intellectuals...... Marx and Engels were once one of them! I'm afraid that such indiscriminate killing of innocent people will arouse public anger, right? What is GC International talking about?

Stasova could see what Thalmann was thinking, but she also knew what the outcome of asking Moscow would be...... He thought for a moment and said: "Comrade Thälmann, the destruction of the class enemy is precisely the necessary means of the class struggle in Germany at the present time. The more we eliminate now, the less resistance we will encounter in the future to liberate Germany. But now that the enemy is approaching Berlin, it is most important to organize the comrades to retreat into Polish territory...... All work is to revolve around a strategic retreat, including the elimination of the class enemy. Comrade Thälmann, you can do it as you please, but the White Russians in Berlin must be eliminated! There is no room for bargaining at this point! ”
