393 Chain Reaction

Königsberg, which in a few decades will be re-ordered as Kaliningrad, but according to the current trend, the good old man may not be able to get this naming right.

In the middle of the night on February 8, 1919, under the personal command of Li Xiaofeng, the Jews fired the first shot against the Germans in this city!

"Our first goal is to capture the city's key bridges!" Li Xiaofeng pointed on the map and said, "Every bridge on the Pregail River must be effectively controlled!" In particular, the four bridges on the island of Neff are a top priority! ”

The Jews carefully memorized every word that a certain immortal said, because what someone said would determine the fate of the uprising, and it would also determine the fate of the Jews.

"Now I start to check the table, 23:30. The uprising will start at 2 o'clock sharp. Li Xiaofeng finished everything he was about to say in one breath, then clapped his hands and encouraged: "As long as we execute according to the plan, starting tomorrow morning, Königsberg will belong to us!" ”

Indeed, the Germans never imagined that a great uprising of the German minority would break out in Königsberg. In East Prussia they have been in business for hundreds of years and have absolute control over the land.

And with the collapse and collapse of Tsarist Russia, the ambitious polar bear was forced to retreat thousands of kilometers to the east. This strategic depth made the Germans feel more and more that East Prussia could rest easy. And with the tightening of the Western Front, a large number of troops were drawn in the direction of Verdun. Therefore, this port city did not have too many garrisons, and it was less than 3,000 people at full duty.

What the Germans did not expect, however, was that from 1914. A large number of Jews began to pour into Königsberg. It became the second largest ethnic group after the Germans. And tonight it is these Jews, whom the Germans do not pay much attention to, that will make them suffer a great hardship.

More than 6,000 Jewish soldiers entered Königsberg from Russia or Poland. Entering Königsberg as refugees did not cause much alarm among the Germans. Even though the percentage of these Jewish refugees was too male, and each of them seemed to have a military temperament.

"They don't have weapons, the only metal item on their bodies is a coin except for the belt buckle, it's not worth being nervous!" This is the conclusion reached by the local police chief after a detailed search of the "refugees".

It should be said that this conclusion is not wrong, and when the Jewish "refugees" entered Königsberg, they were indeed unarmed and unoffensive. Because their weapons and equipment will enter Königsberg from another route. Li Xiaofeng is the best at doing this kind of work.

So in the corners invisible to the Germans, the Jewish "refugees" began to arm themselves with unimaginable speed. On the eve of the uprising, 6,000 well-trained and experienced Jewish warriors were ready to fight, and they were assisted by nearly 20,000 young Jews in the area, about half of whom were armed.

That is, in Königsberg, the balance of forces between friend and foe had long since quietly changed, and while the Germans were feeling good about themselves, the Jews had already bared their fangs!

Two o'clock. Three green flares rose into the sky. Forthwith. Hordes of Jewish refugees began to attack their intended goal!

The shopkeeper's bridge and the blacksmith's bridge were the first to be attacked, and in fact the word attack is not quite accurate. Because the two bridges were unguarded, the German soldiers who died in their sleep were taken prisoners in their sleep.

The only troublesome thing was the "high bridge" over the Old Pregel, where Captain Wolfgang, a German officer, was more conscientious and responsible, and immediately discovered the actions of the Jews. On the one hand, he tried to report to his superiors, and on the other hand, he ordered his soldiers to resist to the death.

“ALARM! ALARM! Captain Wolfgang snarled into the microphone.

However, his superior, Major Heisenberg, did not believe it at all, and instead reprimanded: "Lucas, are you sleeping? Where did the enemy come from! This is Königsberg, and the nearest polar bear is also a thousand kilometers away! ”

"Not the Russians! It's Jews! Captain Wolfgang was in a hurry, and he roared again: "A large number of Jews are rushing over with rifles!" ”

"Jews?" Major Heisenberg sneered and said sarcastically: "Lucas, it seems that you didn't wake up, but drank too much!" Where did the Jews get their rifles? Man, I solemnly warn you, lying about the military is punishable by shooting! ”

Captain Wolfgang was so angry that he jumped to his feet on the other end of the phone and said, "I'm not lying!" Listen for yourself! ”

As he spoke, he picked up the phone, dragged it out of the room, pointed the receiver in the direction of the bridge, and the fierce gunfire poured into Major Heisenberg's ears.

"I'll rub!"

Major Heisenberg was startled, and after thinking for five seconds, he resolutely ordered: "Lucas, hold on!" You have to resist! I'll send reinforcements right away......"

A busy beep signaled that Captain Wolfgang had lost the call, and that the Jewish fighters who had attacked the Königsberg telephone office had finally cut the phone line. The Germans, who were called for the heavens and the earth, soon found that the chain of command was completely paralyzed, and all the garrisons had to fight on their own, and they were absolutely inferior in numbers, and they were soon divided and surrounded by the Jews.

The resistance of the Königsberg garrison lasted only a few hours, and when the sun rose on a new day, the inhabitants of the city took to the streets to find that the city had changed owners!

"An uprising broke out in Königsberg?"

The German government was stunned, and although the situation in the Reich had been getting worse by the day since January, they expected that it would be another two months before the insurrection broke out at the earliest.

"Find out who and which forces started the riot! Especially to find out what is going on in Königsberg! ”

The Germans quickly began to gather information, began to investigate and research, and when the results were presented before their eyes, they could hardly believe that it was true!

"The Jews revolted?" Everyone asked a rhetorical question in a suspicious tone.

Then they would ask with certainty, "How could the Jews riot!" ”

Yes, for thousands of years, Jews have been dough. can only be manipulated by anyone. Now some say that the little sheep rebelled. Who believes!

But if you don't believe it, you can't. The results of the facts are already in front of us. And the Jews themselves announced it in the newspapers.

"These dog mongrels must be exterminated immediately! Kill them all! ”

The Germans quickly made a decision, knowing full well that if they did not eliminate these traitors to the Reich, if they let the rest of the restless elements in the country follow their bad example, the chain reaction that would ensue would destroy the Miè Empire!

This judgment is very accurate, and the seemingly inconspicuous revolt of sailors in history Kiel tore apart the Second Reich in an instant. Although the Jews are slightly worse, if they do not pay attention to it, the results may not be optimistic.

It wasn't just the Germans who were shocked by the Jewish uprising. The Entente group was equally dumbfounded. In addition to the consternation, the British immediately reacted - to support the Jewish uprising, contact Weizmann, and make sure that the spark is ignited!

When Weizmann learned that the Jews in Königsberg had launched an anti-German uprising, he was also shocked, he really didn't hear the slightest rumor, and he didn't know what was going on!

"Ben, can you tell me what the hell is going on in Königsberg?" Weizmann asked, with a tone of obvious displeasure, "Why have I never heard of an uprising in Germany?" ”

Root. Gurion was calm. Although when he learned the news, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep. Hysterical yelling like a mentally ill person. Now, though, he's calmed down. He was somewhat disdainful of Weizmann's questioning - old friend, you didn't expect it, Pavel did it, and the Russians did keep their promise.

"This qiē is all thanks to old Pavel! He and Andrey. Petrovich advocated the operation together, and already with a preliminary victory! ”

Weizmann's face was not very good, he did not want to hear those two names at all, and after the last quarrel, Pavel broke away from the Zionist organization and set up a so-called Jewish National Liberation Front.

He was quite annoyed by this, and even harshly criticized and condemned Pavel's "selfish" actions on different occasions. And now, while he was still waiting for the British to give him alms, the old guy actually fired the first shot!

Weizmann had a feeling of being slapped in the face, and the unhappiness was certain, so his tone was immediately not very good: "Ben, are you sure that this uprising was led by Pavel?" ”

Root. Gurion nodded heavily, confirming the news, and emphatically mentioned: "Andrei. Mr. Petrovich complied with the agreement with Pavel, and he seized Königsberg with six thousand Jewish fighters trained by the Bolsheviks, and now Königsberg is ours! ”

Weizmann frowned, he was not happy at all, and even began to think that it was not a victory or a mistake!

"It's not worth rejoicing at all!" Weizmann rebelled, "What's the point of an uprising on German soil?" It doesn't belong to us! Ben, I think it's a complete mistake, soon the army of the Germans will go to Königsberg, they will crush our compatriots with iron hooves! Pavel's presumptuous actions will cost our compatriots dearly! ”

Root. Gurion was a little stunned, he didn't know why Weizmann's face changed at the mention of Pavel, just now he could clearly see that Weizmann's first reaction to the news was joy, not criticism. How can it change in the blink of an eye?

Root. Gurion decided to have a good fight with Weizmann: "I'm afraid the Germans won't be able to draw many troops to expect Königsberg." Do you think that the Entente bloc will not put pressure on the front? For them, the more chaos in Germany the better. And Pavel was not vulnerable, according to what he told me, we already had 30,000 fighters in Königsberg, and a steady stream of fighters joining our ranks, and even more optimistically, there will be more anti-German uprisings in the near future, when the Germans will be exhausted! ”

"As for the question of land ownership," Ben. Gurion paused slightly, and then said, "I don't think it's a problem at all. The defeated Germany will inevitably be dismembered, and we, who fired the first shot of the uprising against Germany, will have more or less some benefit! ”

Actually Ben. The Gurion was only half-talking, because Weizmann was not very good at what he was talking about, and he was very picky about the Königsberg uprising. So he didn't make it clear in the second half of the sentence. According to the agreement reached by Pavel and Li Xiaofeng. Including Königsberg. and that the eastern part of Poland would be given all to the Jews, and at the very least, a high autonomous region of the East Polish minority, and ideally an independent state. Then the Jews will gain a precious foothold!

"That's just your imagination!" Weizmann snorted coldly and criticized: "Pavel is so close to the Bolsheviks, how can the Entente give him a good look?" I think he's still busy in the end! Even because of the excessive proximity to the Russian devil, it has caused our compatriots to suffer together! ”

Root. Gurion couldn't say anything, he could see that Weizmann was still dead. He would never have recognized Pavel's success. A person who pretends to be asleep can never be woken up. It's useless to say more!

Root. Gurion could only state his attitude: "I will soon be traveling to Königsberg, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that we cannot miss!" ”

Weizmann glared at Ben angrily. Gurion glanced at it and didn't say anything, because he was well aware of this. Gurion won't budge anymore.

"The uprising was started with the support of the Russians?"

British Foreign Secretary Balfour was also taken aback when he learned of Weizmann's news. However, it is reminiscent of the previous confrontation between the Russians and the Germans on the Estonian issue. This qiē makes sense.

In his report to the Cabinet, he said: "It is very likely that the uprising was secretly supported by the Russians, and if this is true, then we must take this phenomenon very seriously." The Russians are even more insidious than we think. Not only will they pollute our people with communism, but they will also secretly incite dissident minorities to riot. Particular attention must be paid to Andrei. Petrovich this person. According to the information we have, this qiē operation was personally arranged by him......"

But the Entente group did not care who supported and launched the uprising. What they want to know more is whether the uprising will expand and spread. As long as Germany can collapse, they don't care whether the uprising is spontaneous or instigated by the communist devil.

They quickly decided: "Uprisings in Germany, Austria-Hungary should be welcomed, and even more uprisings should be instigated!" ”

It has to be said that the Entente group acted quickly, and after making up their minds, they immediately found a very suitable candidate - Pilsudski.

A Polish national hero who was extremely russophobic and had no better relations with the Germans (in 1917 he was relieved of his duties and thrown into prison for refusing to pledge allegiance to the German-Austrian group). As a national extremist determined to restore Poland's former glory. He was too much in line with the requirements of the Entente.

Opposing the Russians and falling out with the Germans is a nail that has been wedged into Eastern Europe. With him, he could act as the first line of defense against the barbaric Slavic invasion of Western Europe, and he could also keep an eye on the dishonest Germans with all his might.

In the eyes of the Entente, Poland would be the best jailer in Europe, and in order to survive, he would have to keep a firm grip on the two feuds. So immediately after the Jews fired the first shot, the Entente found Pilsudski and hoped that he would be able to burn the flames even harder!

Would Pilsudski reject the good intentions of the Entente? Definitely not, because of the refusal to pledge allegiance to the German-Austrian bloc, and especially to the so-called national autonomy order issued by the Germans. He was imprisoned in Fort Mag prison as in history. Fortunately, in the second half of 1918, in order to prepare for the final offensive against the Entente bloc, and in order to recruit more soldiers from Poland, the Germans had to re-release and appoint Pilsudski.

Of course, Pilsudski would not be grateful for this so-called extrajudicial favor. He had already judged in his mind that the Germans, like the Russians, were not a good thing. To fight for the independence of Poland, there must be a showdown with the Germans!

Under the guidance of this ideology, Pilsudski secretly approached the Entente bloc, and at one time reached a number of secret agreements. And this time, after the Jews fired the first shot, under the instructions of the Entente, he also immediately began to fight back!

In an instant, the powder keg of Central and Eastern Europe was completely ignited, the Jews were tossing on the Baltic Sea, Pilsudski was on his own feet in the heart of Warsaw, and the rear of the Germans was in chaos.

And this kind of chaos is exactly what Li Xiaofeng wants to see, since the Germans began to target Russia again in order to curry favor with the Entente, he has done a lot of work, whether it is to put pressure on Akimovich or to interrupt the supply of German special drugs, but he has not been able to get the Germans to give in.

At that time, Li Xiaofeng knew that the Germans were already the king's eight hearts. Under these circumstances, there is no longer much interest in continuing to maintain the strategy of the first step and allowing the Germans to continue to live on their hunger.

Since the Germans wanted to turn their faces, Li Xiaofeng didn't mind flipping the table directly. Without Kiel's sailors revolting, he would have led the Jewish revolt with his own hands. As long as the flame is lit, there is no need for him to make a move, and some people will add fuel to the fire. When the time comes, he will have to see how the self-absorbed Germans will cope with this qiē.

Sure enough, as the Poles also turned against the water, the rear of the Germans was completely chaotic. And this confusion was quite beneficial to Russia, and the German army in Estonia was no longer in the mood to show off its might on the border, and was busy marching in the direction of Königsberg. And Pilsudski, who had previously intervened in Ukrainian affairs, could not control Ukraine, and it was too late to deal with the German counterattack.

With the withdrawal of the Germans in Estonia and the easing of the situation in Ukraine, the pressure on the mentor suddenly lightened, but in this relaxed atmosphere, Li Xiaofeng was extremely irritable...... (To be continued......)
