Chapter Ninety-Nine: Guerrilla Expert

"Without food, the situation will continue to be volatile. The rations are getting less and less every day, and the things on the black market are so expensive, I look at them too expensive, how can ordinary workers afford them? This is where the strength of the Bolsheviks comes from...... Let me say that Lenin's best friend was President Woodrow of the United States. Wilson! ”

After hearing Hersmann's words, Field Marshal Hindenburg frowned and said: "Ludwig, you said this Woodrow. Could Wilson really be a Bolshevik? The United States has their people too, does it? ”

"Yes, a man named Friedrich. A German immigrant from Zolga, he was a student and comrade-in-arms of Marx and Engels, and a former German Social Democrat. In the last century, he founded the Socialist Labor Party of the United States and also organized trade unions along the Marxist line. But it didn't get a lot of support. ”

"Woodrow. Wilson may be this Zorg's protégé! Hindenburg stroked his beard, "Then our support for the Hungarian Bolsheviks won't play into his hands, right?" ”

"In fact, he was also supporting the Hungarian Bolsheviks."

"By what means?"

"As far as I know, it's blockades, deception and threats." Hersman said, "First of all, the Hungarians were starved by blockade in order to expand the mass base of the Bolshevik Party." According to the intelligence station in Budapest, the influence of the Bolshevik Party in Hungary was growing rapidly, and not only the workers supported them, but also many supporters in the army.

Then Kulidge, the head of the special delegation of the US government, used aid as a bait to intensify the conflict between the Hungarian government and the Bolshevik Party, driving the Bolsheviks out of the coalition government and turning them into a repressed opposition. In late January, armed clashes took place in Budapest and in various parts of the country, between government forces and Bolshevik supporters. ”

"Who's in the ascendancy at the moment?"

"Ostensibly the coalition government had the upper hand, but the mass base of the Bolshevik Party was constantly expanding. And they have a great advantage - in the wild! ”

Hindenburg nodded, he would later become president of the Weimar Republic, a scheming politician, of course. Listening to Hersmann's report, he knew that the Hungarian Bolsheviks would soon come to power.

"Now it's up to the Entente to give the Hungarian government an ultimatum, an ultimatum that the Hungarian government cannot bear." Hindenburg said that "Karoli (the president of the Republic of Hungary) will either step down himself or be overthrown." ”

"Yes, marshal, he has no other way out."

"However, the Hungarian Bolsheviks will not have a good time after they come to power, right?"

"It's up to us!" "Weapons and ammunition had already arrived in Budapest a few months ago...... They themselves have a lot of weapons, and now they are short officers. ”

Weapons alone cannot win a battle, but also well-trained soldiers and officers who can command correctly. Austria-Hungary also fought a world war for several years, and Hungary had more than 3.5 million people in the army, so there were well-trained soldiers. Officers, the number of people is definitely enough, but it is difficult to say whether they can command correctly.

In Hersmann's view, it was clear which Hungary was stronger or weaker in the face of the Entente. Most of the people who rely on fighting to the death alone will not be able to win, so there must be a way to defeat the strong with the weak. The people's war is just a concept, and Hersman himself does not know how to conduct it. But in the German army in 1919, there were such talents.

"Our hero, Major General Forbeck, and his warriors will soon be back in Berlin." Hindenburg said, "When the time comes, I will go with you to see him, and I believe that he will be willing to continue the struggle for the German Fatherland." But...... Lieutenant Colonel Hersman, you must keep him safe! ”

"Yes, Marshal." Hersman said, "Major General Forbeck didn't have to personally lead the troops into battle, he only had to serve as a military adviser." And we can also open a special operations school in Budapest to train special operations personnel, and a major general can serve as the director of this officer school. ”

Now Hersman has a 300-man Miuta special forces in his hands, but this force is only called "special forces", and it is not really like the special forces of later generations. Because Hersman himself and the officers under him are fighting traditional wars and do not know how to play special operations.

In addition, Hersman's "special operations" are not limited to the elite troops composed of elite soldiers and officers who can perform various special missions. Guerrilla warfare (including counter-guerrilla warfare) is also an important category of special operations -- and in the view of Hersman, who was born in a professional class and really understands military affairs, although the requirements for soldiers in guerrilla warfare are not very high, it is a university to start, organize, and suppress guerrilla warfare!

"That's right!" Field Marshal Hindenburg's brows furrowed, and he sighed, "You have to open a school like this...... Not only did Hungary need officers who could fight like Major General Forbeck, but we in Germany seemed to need such talents. ”

The matter is not as serious as Hindenburg thought, and Germany does not yet need to defend it with guerrilla warfare. However, there are still many countries in the world, especially colonial and semi-colonial countries, that need some unconventional methods of warfare. Therefore, this military school, named "Special Technical School", will become famous in the future!

……

On February 21, 1919, the Hungarian government, unable to resist the temptation of empty promises from Kulizhi, the head of the US special delegation, sent troops to suppress the unemployed workers who supported the Bolshevik Party. Beira.

But this was not a victory for the Hungarian government, for the Hungarian Bolshevik Party had far more influence in the army than the German Bolshevik Party - there was no strong Junker officer corps in Hungary that could cooperate with the reactionary government. So the Hungarian government did not dare to kill the leader of the Bolsheviks, but only imprisoned him. Moreover, the activities of the Hungarian Bolshevik Party, far from being curtailed by this, intensified and became more active.

Moreover, the Hungarian government faced strong nationalist forces. Unless they could get a more decent peace from the Entente, Hungarian nationalism would be combined with Bolshevism. But more decent peace, the Hungarians could not have been removed from the "bounce king" Woodrow. Wilson got the ......

Right here in Kuhn. Béla was imprisoned at the same time that the conflict in Hungary (between the Bolshevik Party and the legitimate government) intensified. Berlin was on the off shelf for several days - a large number of troops were "triumphant" from the front! They appeared in huge columns, with clear banners and weapons intact, and appeared on the streets of major German cities with high morale. As if they were the winners of the war, and not the losers!

I don't know if I'm really confused or if I have the idea of cheating one day at a time. Since February, the Ebert government has been hiding the fact that Germany has "surrendered unconditionally"!

The Government held one welcoming ceremony after another for the officers and soldiers returning from the front line. At all the ceremonies, officials representing the German government declared that "the war was not defeated" and that "the soldiers were not losers, but voluntarily gave up the struggle for the sake of the country and a decent peace" -- and it was around this time that the idea that "the war was not defeated" was deeply rooted in the hearts of the German people.

In addition, the Albert administration's perception of the Paris Peace Conference seems to have been wrong. They naively, or pretended to be naïve, believed that the peace conference would be conducted on the basis of the Fourteen Points of Peace. The price that Germany will pay is only Alsace and Lorraine......
