Chapter 895: No Eternal Enemy (Fourth Update)
"Ludwig, it's a pleasure to meet you. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
At a large airport near Tsosen, the Russian Empress Olga had just stepped off the plane when she hugged the Imperial Marshal Hersmann, who had come to greet her, and then kissed him.
After kissing Hersman, the empress kissed Hesman's wife, Chloe. This kind of kissing ceremony is more popular in Europe, and kissing back and forth does not mean that there is any love between men and women, but that the relationship is relatively good. However, this kind of etiquette is not very popular in Germany, and if you go to France, sometimes two bearded men will kiss each other like this, then it is a heavy taste.
After kissing Chloe, it was the German crown prince and the crown princess, who also kissed the face very affectionately. This order certainly does not seem to be a standard process, and no matter how powerful Hersman is, it is impossible to rank before the crown prince and the crown princess in public. However, as long as the Russian Empress Olga saw Hersmann appear, she would be the first to go up and hug and kiss Hersman. The high-sounding reason is that Hersman is her savior, but in fact it is an attitude of Empress Olga - no matter what Hersman takes her, she will always respect Hersman as a "great god", at least on the surface.
After greeting the German crown prince and the crown princess who came to greet her, Her Majesty the Empress took the initiative to get into Hersmann's Mercedes-Benz 770K car, sat side by side with Hersmann in the back seat, and squeezed Chloe into the front passenger seat.
"Ludwig, tell you something." As the car drove away, Olga waved to the welcoming crowd at the airport and said to Hersman, "That U.S. ambassador, John F. Kennedy, asked me to meet." β
"Kennedy asked you out?" Hersman glanced at Olga in a women's military uniform, "Shouldn't this be a secret?" β
"To you...... I don't have a secret. The Empress smiled.
"And what is he looking for you?" Hersman thought to himself, could it be the whim of this American tycoon who wanted to pursue the Russian empress?
"He's going to give me money." Olga replied, "$50 million, supposedly the principal and proceeds of the investments that the Russian royal family had entrusted to American banks before the war." Now you can transfer it to me through a bank in Switzerland, and you can ask for gold and European marks. β
"Is there really this money?" Hersman asked.
"Nothing." The Empress of Russia shook her head repeatedly, "My family will not save money overseas, otherwise I would not have been so poor in those years." β
As she spoke, the Empress glanced at Hersman with great gratitude, "Only you helped me in my most difficult time, and I will never forget it." β
In fact, Hersman did not give Olga any money directly, and the two of them did not see each other for many years. However, he had funded Olga's government-in-exile through the Stasi Agency, and he had not given much to him, since Stasi himself had been strapped for many years.
"Then why did this Kennedy give you so much money?" Hersman thought for a moment, "I guess this money should be from the U.S. government, right?" β
"Of course, it's going to finance my entry into Petrograd," Olga smiled, "Ludwig, if you ask me to refuse the money, I'm not going to see the American ambassador." β
"No, no, you can go see him." Hersman shook his head. "I'm so embarrassed not to take that much money."
He could probably guess what kind of medicine was sold in the gourds of the Americans!
Now that Hersman wanted to "force the Soviet Union down" as soon as possible so as to concentrate his forces on the United States, then Roosevelt naturally had to work in reverse. And the American president must also know that as soon as Olga enters Petrograd, then the "theory of integrating Russia" will become Germany's national policy!
When the time comes, Germany and the USSR will have a good fight!
So the US ambassador to Switzerland, John F. Kennedy, came to send money to the Russian Empress...... It's better to have money than not to have it, maybe Olga can take Leningrad with sugar-coated shells?
But Hersmann could not stand in the way of Olga's fortune now - after all, the Soviets had not agreed to Germany's terms, and the war between the two sides seemed to have to continue.
Besides, maybe the immortal Olga is really blessed?
"You might be able to order more," Hersman said with a smile at the thought. "Americans have money, and there must be room for price increases."
Olga nodded and said with a smile: "I think so too, 50 million is too little, I have to ask him for 100 million." Other than that...... French President Petain and Roman Emperor Vittorio. Emanuele III extended an invitation to me. β
The change in Germany's attitude towards Empress Olga was a bellwether, and France and Rome (Italy) of course immediately followed.
Moreover, France and the Russian Empire were traditional friendships, and after the Franco-Prussian War, it was France's national policy to unite Russia against Germany!
Although the Russian Empire eventually became cannon fodder for the French, it still benefited greatly from Franco-Russian friendship before World War I, and the industrialization of Tsarist Russia largely depended on French capital and technology.
Although the PΓ©tain government did not dare to restore the Franco-Russian alliance now, it seemed natural to support the restoration of the Romanov dynasty in Russia...... And isn't Germany also openly supporting it now? What's wrong with France following up?
Of course, the Russian Empire was really going to be restored, and the benefits for France were enormous!
Not to mention whether the Russian Empire can form a force with France to restrain Germany within the European Community in the future, it would be a great profit to say that the huge loans provided by France to the Tsarist government and the investment of French capitalists in Russia can be recovered to some extent.
And France in this era was developed financially, and banks were much better than factories. Once the Russian Empire is restored, it will be a waste of waste, what a big investment opportunity?
So it is almost inevitable that France will support the restoration of Empress Olga!
Hersmann thought for a moment, then asked, "What will the French give you?" And what do you want from France? β
"Army!" "The army that can be used to liberate Petrograd...... Ludwig, you're not going to object to me borrowing troops from France, are you? β
"Of course not." Hersman shook his head.
Although the war with the Soviet Union went relatively smoothly, the number of casualties was still very staggering, and it had not been a month since the start of this round of large-scale offensive at the end of April, and the total number of killed, missing and seriously wounded reported from the front line had exceeded 100,000!
In this case, Hersmann, of course, will not refuse the addition of more French cannon fodder!
After another pause, he decided to tell Olga the German cards, "As long as the Soviet Union does not give in for a day, you will have full freedom of action." And if, before we reached an agreement with the USSR, you became the master of Petrograd...... Then we will have to fight the USSR to the end. β
β¦β¦
"Duke Molotov? Hehe, this Olga really thinks of herself as an empress, but it's a pity that she is just a plaything in the hands of the Germans. β
By the time Olga arrived in Berlin, Molotov, who had found nothing in Switzerland, had already returned to Moscow...... Oh, and it wasn't for nothing, at least he brought back a handwritten letter from Empress Olga.
The letter was now in the hands of Comrade Stalin, and the fatherly leader, apparently unaware of the seriousness of the problem, was mockingly mocking the Empress in Berlin.
"Comrade General Secretary," Molotov looked worried, reminding Stalin that "in fact many traitors have accepted the title of Empress Olga ......"
Stalin frowned slightly, as if there was such a thing, and most of the White Army now following Olga was the original Red Army, who had been betrayed after being captured.
"It is probable that many more people have received the same letter of surrender," Molotov then took out another envelope and handed it to Stalin respectfully, "Comrade Kollontai asked me to come a little longer...... She received the same letter of surrender. β
Stalin took the envelope, took out the letter and read it, the contents were similar to the letter to Molotov, it was also a vow, the difference was that the empress also recalled the glorious tradition of the Devmont family (Madame Kollontai's real name) (the Duke of Pskov and the prince of Russia), and called on her to stand up at the critical moment that would determine the future and fate of the Russian nation, and strive for a truly better future for all Russians.
"A truly bright future?" Stalin muttered in a low voice, "What kind of future is this?" β
"Integration into Europe," Molotov said, "according to the propaganda of the reactionary Empress Olga puppet government, Russia can turn enemies into friends with Germany and, with the help of Germany and other European countries, develop, join the European Community, and become an important member of Europe......"
"Nonsense!" Stalin sneered, "This is ridiculous...... How could anyone believe that the Germans had come to invade to help the Russians? β
"No one will believe it...... The Soviet people have been educated by the party for many years and will never be fooled. Molotov first echoed Stalin, and then reminded Stalin in an inaudible voice, "But since the October Revolution, there have been many traitors and traitors in our Bolshevik Party, some of whom are high-ranking cadres!" β
It's a fact!
Among the five members of the Political Bureau of the first session of the Bolshevik Party (elected by the 8th Congress of the Party) alone, there were three traitors and traitors such as Trotsky, Kamenev, and Kletinsky!
And among the eight members of the Political Bureau elected at the 11th Party Congress (all 5 of the first 1st were retained, and 3 were added), three more traitors and traitors were added: Bukharin, Rykov and Tomsky. In this political bureau, 6 of the 8 members are bad people, and 1 stroke (Lenin) cannot work! In fact, Stalin alone was a good man, and it was not easy for the Soviet Union to hold out to this day......
And now the situation is even more severe than in 1922 and 23, how can there be no traitors and traitors within the Bolshevik Party?
Thinking of this, Stalin also realized the seriousness of the problem! (To be continued.) )
