Chapter 114: Thälman's Doubts

The studies of this group of Chinese students in Germany are extremely arduous.

During the day, half a day of study, half a day of internship, and at night, Lin Han came to give these students a political lecture and educate them on current affairs, and Lin Han explained world history and Chinese history to them on the basis of the theory of class struggle.

The students believed Lin Han's words and believed that in a few years there would be a full-scale war between China and Japan. With a sense of mission, they work very hard both in their studies and internships.

Throughout the second half of 1933, in addition to continuing to engage in women in Germany, Lin Han's remaining time and energy were either in the laboratory or devoted to the students around him, and there was basically no major change.

After the night of the long knife, Lin Han took time out to go to prison to meet Tälman once.

When he first returned, Lin Han briefly placed his hopes for a red Germany on Thälmann, but was quickly disappointed when he received information about his life from Hannah.

Ernst. Thälmann is the president of Germany, and when Germany falls into the hands of the National Socialist Party, Thälmann bears considerable responsibility.

When Hitler joined the National Socialist Party, the original National Socialist Party was a small organization of less than 100 members. At this time, the KPD was already a large party with more than 100,000 people with great influence in Germany. After the economic crisis that swept the world exploded, it was supposed to be a great opportunity for the KPD to flourish, but whether it was a plane with the help of the time-travelers or a world without the destruction of the time-travelers, the KMT and the CCP lost the German election.

In the 1932 German presidential election, the election slogan of the KPD under Thälmann. In Lin Han's opinion, it is also very stupid. His rival at the time was the incumbent Paul. Feng. Hindenburg and Adolf in the opposition. Hitler, Germany's propaganda slogan was "To vote for Hindenburg is to vote for Hitler, and to vote for Hitler is to vote for war".

The German people in 1932 needed bread and butter, not this "prophecy" of "talking and fighting" with political opponents, even if it was completely correct. But in this era when there is not enough to eat, who cares that choosing Hitler is equivalent to choosing war? In contrast, Hitler's campaign slogan was realistic: let every German household have steak and bread on their table, and the latter is what the Germans of this era really need.

Lin Han was disappointed in Tellermann after studying his ideas and history. But after returning to Germany. It was decided to meet him anyway, and Hannah had other thoughts about Thälmann.

In 1932, with the help of the global anti-CCP** set off by the sensational nuclear contamination incident, Hitler seized Germany**. At the same time, a large number of KPD members were imprisoned and imprisoned in concentration camps. Thälmann is among them. Although Hannah never changed her point of view, she accepted the "Soviet-German alliance" advocated by Lin Han. But he relented slightly, and with the help of the Saphiroth cult, he gave a little preferential treatment to the KPD members in prison. At the same time, there is some collusion and contact in the shadows.

On the night of the Long Knife, after Hindenburg returned to heaven, Hannah incarnated as Hitler and took sole power in Germany, and she had more power after annexing the National Socialist Party, and Lin Han was able to meet Thälmann without scruples.

In Lin Han's view, the biggest reason for the defeat of the KPD in Germany was that its upper echelons were puppets who would only blindly obey the command of the Communist International under the leadership of the Soviet Union, and the Comintern was full of dogmatists who could only copy the successful experience of the Soviet Union, and in 1928, they put forward the theory of the "third stage" that greatly threatened the international communist movement, and it was this theory that played a decisive role in the defeat of the KPD in the struggle against fascism.

The so-called "third stage" theory divides the period from the October Revolution of 1917 to 1928 into three stages. The October Revolution of 1917 to 1923 was the first stage, which was the first stage of the revolution; The period from 1924 to 1927 was the second stage, which was the relatively stable stage of capitalism, that is, the stage of the low tide of revolution; The third phase began in 1928. Molotov claimed that at this stage, all the contradictions of the capitalist world were about to explode, the world revolution was about to take shape, and the capitalist world was about to collapse.

This judgment of the shape of the world, made out of the need for a change in policy, became the basis of a new strategy whereby the leaders of the Communist International set the strategic tasks that the communists of the world must carry out: first, to carry out a general strike, second, to occupy the streets, and third, to "not form any form of alliance with the reformists". The third task is more harmful than the first two tasks. Because the first two tasks cannot be accomplished by subjective wishes, but the tasks of refusing to unite with reformist organizations can be carried out by subjective wishes alone. This third article was in fact the only thing that was carried out by the countries under the command of the Comintern** until the Comintern began to implement the tactics of the Popular Front.

Trotsky, with the vision and sensitivity of a revolutionary politician, was aware of the threat posed by the rise of the Nazis in Germany to the workers' movement and the fate of humanity, and was soberly aware that the theory of the "third stage" would make this threat a reality. He pointed out that when the reformists are compelled to take a step or a half forward, it is necessary to enter into a phased alliance with them. He stressed that in the struggle against fascism, it is still less possible to cut off the avenue of reaching concrete agreements with the Social Democrats.

For reasons that are well known, Trotsky failed in the political struggle against Stalin in the Soviet Union, and his ideas became a matter of course "heresy." Thus, under the baton of Moscow, Thälmann "entered the third stage with both feet" and in this stage went to the end of himself and the KPD.

To sum up, Thälmann is overly obsessed with elections and parliamentary struggles, and has made the mistake of "right-leaning capitulationism", delusionally believing that he can come to power by relying on votes. He did not learn to think independently in the light of the current situation in Germany, and only obeyed the blind dictates of the Moscow gang like a puppet - how similar to the Moscow faction in China at that time.

At that time, the power struggle within the KPD was also very fierce. One of the many accusations against Thälmann when later generations evaluate this history is that he is good at using his power to defeat his opponents within the party. Instead of defeating the enemy and seizing power on the battlefield of class struggle, to put it simply, it is an outsider in a foreign war and an insider in a civil war.

Thälmann was originally held in a prison on the outskirts of Berlin, where Hitler kept him in solitary confinement, without seeing his relatives or friends, nor with other inmates, and the prison guards were all SS men. But after June, shortly after the Night of the Long Knife. Thälmann was transferred from the Berlin prison. Instead, it was confined to a newly built concentration camp near the city of Kiel.

It was a concentration camp built for the German Communist Party, where 400 German ** soldiers were imprisoned. After being relocated here, Thälmann soon found himself under much lighter control than before. And the living environment has also been greatly improved.

He was first placed in a brightly lit cell with electric lights. The cells are equipped with toilets and toilets. And the lights out at night were delayed until 12 o'clock. Although he is still held in solitary confinement, he can meet and chat with his fellow inmates every day during the day. My daily diet has also improved dramatically compared to before. There was also hot water in the showers, and the guards were much gentler towards him, less brutal than they had been in the Berlin prison. And every morning, the guards brought him several newspapers, which allowed Thälmann to learn about the events that were taking place in Germany and around the world.

"There must be a conspiracy on this!"

Of course, Thälmann did not think that Hitler's attitude towards him had suddenly changed with a great conscience, and he looked coldly at the changes around him, and mentally prepared himself for a greater test. Although Thälmann himself was primarily responsible for the collapse of the KPD in Germany, he was still worthy of the title of "loyal revolutionary" for his own cause. It's just that he is a person with limited abilities who mistakenly sits in a position beyond the limits of his personal ability.

Thälmann watched coldly as his surroundings changed. Thälmann soon became aware that he was in a concentration camp where KPD members were taken out every morning and returned only in the evening. Tong Guò learned that they were teaching a group of international students from China as teachers in prison. In the background, Erman noticed that the members of the KPD who were locked up here were either engineers or technicians, and they were all very skilled technicians at hand. The KPD mechanics and engineers teach the students a variety of techniques, from car repair to machine tool operation, in addition to their daily classes.

What surprised Thählmann the most was that the news that came from these fellow KD inmates was that this group of Chinese students seemed to have a tendency towards the "Communist Party," and in the process of communicating with them, these Chinese students were full of "class struggle theory" and many people's political views, and many of them were even more Bolsheviks than genuine Bolsheviks, which really frightened this group of KPD members. If they were not in prison, they almost always thought that they were staying not in prisons but in the headquarters of the Soviet Komsomol.

This is not only the KPD members confused, but also Thälmann himself.

"What the hell is Hitler doing?"

This is the thought of almost every KPD member in prison.

It is a well-known secret in Germany that Kiel has a large number of students from China. Thälmann's previous view on this matter was nothing more than a means that Hitler wanted to use in the future to control China. After he was moved to the camp, he could hear the sound of non-standard German passwords and neat footsteps in the distance every morning through the walls, and later learned that it was the group of Chinese students who were getting up early for morning exercises. The location of their accommodation is nearby. Every morning at seven o'clock, the sound of this group of Chinese students running in the morning appears as precise as a clock.

There was no interrogation, no torture, no forced labor, and other inmates had to go out every day to teach Chinese students and teach them skills, but he stayed here and did nothing.

Thälmann had been in this prison for a month, and his body, which had been emaciated by the harsh prison life, began to grow flesh. At the end of the month, when I went through the check-up, I gained four kilograms. To Thälmann's dismay, although he repeatedly asked the prison director and guards to send a message to Hitler on his behalf, asking him to meet him, the prison guards and guards ignored him completely, and as long as he did not escape, they almost ignored him.

This situation lasted for three months, and in this new prison, Thälmann read the newspaper, learned that Xingbao was dead, that Hitler had become president, that he had become president and chancellor, and that he had become a dictator with great power, and that he had inadvertently learned a few words of Chinese -- the Chinese students living nearby would sing some Chinese songs during their morning exercises, and although Thälmann did not know Chinese, he listened to it every day, every month, and after more than three months and more than 100 days of repeated brainwashing, he could now use Chinese with a northeastern accent when he was bored alone, humming two sentences: Forward forward, forward, our team to the sun

By the end of September, the weather in Kiel was starting to turn from hot to cool. One evening, when the wind was blowing, Thälmann suddenly realized in horror that at this time in the past, it was supposed to be the time for the KPD prisoners who had gone out to work to return, but today none of them have returned.

He did not see them come back until it was dark in the evening.

"Could it be that those comrades were all killed by the Nazis?"

Thälmann couldn't help but worry about them.

After dinner, Thälmann was still restless, and at eight o'clock the door of his cell was suddenly opened.

"Ernst. Tellermann, come with us! ”

Guarding the hygienic hard order to.

He was then hooded and taken out, then stuffed into a car, and Thälmann felt the car start, and after less than two minutes of driving, he was dragged out of the car, held hostage for some distance, and finally pushed into a very narrow room, where he was handcuffed and his hood removed.

It was a very small hut, less than a square meter in size, with only room for one person to sit in it, and it looked like a confessional room in a church, with only one examination stool in it. After pushing Thalman in, the guard who brought him locked the door and left.

Thälman, who was locked up in the small black room, looked around carefully, this small black room only had a small window the size of a palm, through the small window, he could see that the location of the small black room was in a large hall, through the limited viewing angle, he could see rows of seats, and a peculiar statue of a double angel standing back to back, the statue was a man and a woman standing back to back.

The statue Tälmann recognized as the "famous" "totem" of the emerging Saphiroth religion in Germany in the past two years, with the female angel being the so-called archangel Gabriel, and the male being the fallen angel Sephiroth who "did not hesitate to become a demon in order to save the world".

"It turns out that this is the church of that cult!"

But soon, Thälmann didn't think so. (To be continued......)

ps: Today's plan is to change 10,000 words, first 4,000 words, because of the rush to catch up, there may be a lot of typos, temporarily do not proofread, and I will correct the mistakes after the update

Another 6,000 words before 12 p.m. If I can't keep up, I'll make up the number of words to 6,000, and I'll change it back when I'm done
