Berlin, April 30.

A month has passed since the last victory in the Berlin uprising, and Albert's Provisional Government has not been satisfied with its performance in this month. The remaining ships of the High Seas Fleet were packed and sent to Scapa Bay, the Army was ordered to lay down its arms, and a large number of wagons of war materials were sent to France.

Of course, the main thing is that the people do not feel that their lives have changed for the better, not to mention that they are not as good as they were before the war, but even compared to 1918. The blackmail of the Allied hooligans made life even more difficult.

"Tell Comrade Sù Blacksmith, meet tomorrow at six o'clock at Brandenburgplatz!"

Like last time, Hoffman left in a hurry, so he didn't notice that something was wrong with Fried's expression, and he didn't notice that there were outsiders in Fried's house.

"You've all heard that, now you can release Rosa!" The big man said in an almost pleading tone to the three uninvited guests.

Waldemar. Pabst glanced at the thin girl who was tied up, the corners of his mouth curled, and he sneered, "Fried, this is not enough. Say, where is Luxembourg and Liebne Tibet? ”

Fried replied with a sad face, "I'm just an ordinary worker, how do I know where they're hiding!" ”

"You're very dishonest!" Pabst walked up to the skinny Rosa with a grim smile and said gloomily: "Give you one last chance, or don't blame me for being unkind!" ”

Fried was hesitant and entangled, he was reluctant to betray Luxembourg and Liebknecht, but he also did not want to lose his daughter.

"Do it!" Pabst gave an order to the two accomplices, and at once the two fierce men pressed towards little Rosa. Obvious. They don't do anything good.

"Ahh Father. Save me! Little Rosa let out a scream.

Pabst impatiently ordered: "Shut her mouth, don't alarm the surrounding reds!" ”

Immediately the screams stopped abruptly, and there was nothing Fred could do about the atrocities of the three beasts, and he cried profusely without shedding tears, and after some struggle, he could only give in to the devil.

"Please, let Rosa go! I say! ”

Pabst smiled smugly. He walked up to the big man, kicked him, and urged impatiently: "Then hurry up, our patience has a limit!" ”

Fried choked up and said, "I really don't know the whereabouts of Luxembourg and Liebknecht, you have to go to Kobs if you want to know!" ”

"Who is Cobbs and where does he live?" Pabst snorted coldly.

"Puppet Theatre ......"

Fried had never hated himself so much, he never thought that he would be a traitor, that he would betray his dear comrades, he felt guilty of sin, but when he saw Rosa, who was trembling. He also told himself that he was a father. You have to protect your children.

"Great, how good it would be for you to cooperate like this earlier!" Pabst sneered, "I really don't cry when I don't see the coffin!" ”

As he spoke, he said to his accomplice Nunu, "Do things beautifully!" ”

Fried looked up in amazement and looked at Pabst in horror, whining in his throat, "What are you going to do?" Haven't I told you everything? ”

Pabst smirked, "Yes, because of that, you're useless. Useless waste does not deserve to remain in the world! ”

Fried's eyes widened in horror, he tried to resist, but he was outnumbered, and with a flash of his sword, his blood splattered all over the white walls.

A few minutes later, Pabst swaggered out of Fried's den with four of his men, no one could tell that they were bloody executioners.

"It's all settled?"

"Yes, Mr. Canaris. It's all solved! Pabst boasted a little smug to the people in the car.

"Where's the intelligence?" Canaris asked again.

"Puppet theater, Cobus."

Canaris nodded and said coldly, "Go get him, I want to know where Luxembourg and Liebknecht are hiding before dawn." ”

Looking at the car slowly moving away, Pabst was a little unhappy, he didn't understand why he had to find out the hiding place of Luxembourg and Liebknecht tonight, there was no need for this. According to their plan, tomorrow there will be a huge march, and as the leaders of the march, they will inevitably come to the fore to lead the revolution, are you afraid that you will not find them?

Pabst felt like a miserable man, doing some inexplicable and meaningless dirty work, but who let him join the Freikorps! In this legion called Freedom and Iron-Blooded, the last thing you want is to ask questions, all you want is to obey.

"Let's go, get back to work!"

Pabst tightened his collar and hurried away into the corner with a few of his men, who had a lot of bloody work to do in the night.

At the same time, Luxemburg and Liebknecht were nervously planning the final details of the uprising, and the Germans were naturally fond of picking at the details, eager to figure out all the trivial things, and only launch the uprising with 100% certainty.

And this kind of work is really too boring and too painful for their Russian comrades, such as Yue Fei and Radek. I think that when the October Revolution was in place, Lenin and Trotsky did not do so much of the trivial preparations. As long as people participate in activities, there will be accidents, and the revolution will naturally be no exception, but not all accidents need attention, and it is not enough to grasp the general direction?

The Germans, however, did not agree, arguing for a day and a night over a trivial matter, and proposing countless possibilities and solutions. They will only act if all the solutions are perfect. And this is also an important reason why the Second Berlin Uprising was delayed for so long.

Of course, the plan was more detailed, and Yue Fei and Radek would not have much of an opinion, and what they really couldn't stand was the plans of Luxembourg and Liebknecht for the May 1 uprising. According to the plan drawn up by these two masters, the May Day uprising will not be a real armed uprising in the first place. It will be a peaceful demonstration of the proletariat for the establishment of a Soviet for power. Only when the legitimate demands of the proletariat were rejected by the Provisional Government of Albert. to take further action.

And the so-called further action. Whether it is an armed uprising or not has not yet been finalized, according to the opinion of Luxembourg and Liebknecht, it depends! Only when the Albert government showed its most reactionary side could the proletariat resort to violence defend itself.

To be honest, this kind of shit plan made Yue Fei and Radek quite painful, and compared with the Germans' ability to pick out details, their overall planning ability or ability to grasp the general direction is really speechless.

Nima, when is it? You also have to give the initiative to the enemy. From the day the Albert government came to power, they have repeatedly rejected your demands - the establishment of a socialist republic, the guarantee of freedom of speech, assembly, association, amnesty for political prisoners, and the eight-hour day. All in all, this party under the banner of social democracy is not uninterested in socialism and democracy!

What is even more frightening is that, by all indications, Albert has reached some kind of agreement with the Entente that they will tend to suppress the revolution!

In such cases, it is necessary to be proactive. If Lenin and Trotsky had been here, they had already begun to mobilize and arm the working class on a wide scale. The armed struggle began. But these naïve Germans still had illusions that they could still drive out Albert and the Social Democrats in the same way that they did last time when Wilhelm II was bloodlessly ousted.

Yue Fei and Raddick were quite disappointed and nervous about this. Only then did they realize that Lenin's warning seemed to be meaningful, and that the Germans really did not seem ready for revolution!

"What's the use of asking this question at this time and consulting the central government?" Annoyed, Lenin threw the urgent telegrams of Radek and Yue Fei into the trash.

He had warned that the German revolution was more complicated and that the seemingly powerful working class in Germany was simply not ready for revolution. He told the two idiots again and again that they must pay attention to this. But they were fine, and they began to agree, looking like they were dying without worry, but when it came to the end, they said that there was a problem with the preparations.

It's all this time, the preparation is not sufficient, what can I do if there is a problem?

Lenin was so angry that he almost wanted to flip the table, and it took him a while to squeeze out one sentence: "My opinion is that if the comrades in Germany are not ready for armed struggle, do not rush to mobilize the masses into the streets." If possible, is it feasible to postpone May Day action? If this is not possible, is it possible to limit the May Day action to a lower level? ”

When Yue Fei and Radek received a call back from the Politburo, they smiled bitterly. It is not that Lenin's opinion is problematic, it should be said that it is the only way to deal with it. However, these two methods are not useful and cannot be achieved. Because Luxemburg and Liebknecht were full of confidence in tomorrow's march, they were optimistic that if the masses took to the streets again, they would be able to intimidate Albert and take power peacefully.

In the wee hours of the morning, Raddick wrote in his diary: "...... I have never been so anxious, not even on the eve of the October Revolution...... Comrades Luxembourg and Liebknecht were overconfident, and they were unprepared for the ferocity of the enemy...... I doubt that tomorrow's march will turn into a disaster. ”

It was indeed a disaster, when the marching masses poured into Brandenburgplatz, when they chanted all sorts of slogans for the establishment of the Soviets, for the establishment of a socialist republic. In Albert's office, a meeting that killed the revolution was also coming to an end.

"The people incited by the reddeners have taken to the streets," said Albert calmly and forcefully, without the slightest indication that he was about to become the executioner of the proletariat, "and for the sake of the interests of Germany, for the sake of peace and stability, we can only put an end to their atrocities by force!" I authorize the army and police to maintain order and restore peace in a qiē way! ”

"Why hasn't Fred arrived yet?"

Hoffman at the parade looked left and right for a while, but did not find his big comrade. You must know that Fred has been looking forward to this march and the early establishment of a socialist republic under the dictatorship of the proletariat, so there is no reason not to participate!

Comrade Blacksmith's reply to this was: "Maybe Rosa's illness has flared up again, you know, this weather has a high incidence of asthma." ”

Reminds of little Rosa. Hoffman smiled. He hopes to have a daughter as well-behaved as Rosa after he gets married.

"Quite possibly. Comrade Blacksmith. After the victory of the revolution, Rosa's illness should be cured, right? Hoffman asked wistfully.

"Of course!" Comrade Blacksmith patted his chest and said, "Comrade Luxemburg and Comrade Liebknecht will not deceive us, the socialist Germany of the future will be a paradise for the proletariat, and everyone will be well taken care of!" No more worries about work, hunger and sickness! ”

Hoffmann smiled and raised the banner even higher, as if to scare away the bourgeoisie and the Social Democrats, but he could never have imagined. He is particularly active and will become the most conspicuous target!

With Albert's order, thousands of Freikorps and policemen rushed to the crowd in the procession, and the sound of gunfire and shouts lingered in the streets of Berlin for a long time, and for a time there was a river of blood!

Hoffman was the first to be knocked down by a bullet, and the honest worker was directly beaten into honeycomb coal by a machine gun, and his eyes widened as he died, as if he could not believe that the enemy would shoot. The German working class, as naïve as Hoffmann, made up the majority, and they took to the streets with their bare hands, as if they were going to a ball. But all that awaited them were bullets and bayonets. In the face of this qiē, they were unprepared and powerless to resist. It can only be slaughtered by the Freikorps.

"This is a massacre, a massacre of Chiguoguo!"

Liebknecht, who had fled back to his hideout, pounded the table in an open voice, and he could not believe that Albert could be so cruel, and that he had shamefully betrayed the working class by being an ordinary worker who had worked for the welfare of the working class for half his life.

"We want to complain to the whole world about the atrocities of the Albert Provisional Government and the Social Democrats, and we want to call on the proletariat of the whole world to fight against them!"

Liebknecht kept roaring and venting. Luxemburg, on the other hand, was exceptionally calm, of course, the Eagle of the Revolution was not really calm, and she was even more shocked than Liebknecht, because she had been worried about this day since before the outbreak of the revolution, and when this qiē became a reality, she couldn't help but feel deep self-reproach and remorse!

"Now is not the time to get angry or blame yourself!"

When the two great mentors were confused, it was Zetkin who first calmed down, and she first found the direction: "We must act quickly!" The massacre of the enemy was absolutely premeditated, we must organize the workers and soldiers at once, we must fight violence by force! ”

Liebknecht also came back to his senses, and only then did he remember Lenin's warning that Yue Fei and Radek had conveyed earlier, and only then did he realize how accurate Lenin's judgment was. He finally discovered that the Russian comrades did not lack experience in the struggle, but that they were the ones who really lacked experience.

"Comrade Zetkin, you immediately go to the Russian embassy and contact Comrade Yue Fei and Radek, armed struggle is already imperative, and we urgently need their help!"

After that, he said to Luxembourg: "We cannot continue to sit so stupidly, we must resist, we must fight before the working class suffers more serious damage." The facts have become obvious, the Glorious Revolution does not exist! Armed struggle is the way out! ”

Luxemburg looked embarrassed, and after a long time, she nodded slightly, agreeing with Liebknecht's judgment.

It has to be said that Luxemburg and Liebknecht woke up too late, and they were too optimistic, and they did not involve much preparation for armed struggle in their previous plans. When it came to the end of the day, they found that they were unprepared, unorganized, unarmed, and the powerful German working class was in disarray.

In this difficult moment, the only thing they could count on was Yue Fei and Radek, and they could only hope that the Russian comrades would tell them what to do!

However, what Luxembourg and Liebknecht did not expect was that at this time, Yue Fei and Radek were also unable to protect themselves. At the same time that Albert ordered the suppression of the demonstrations, he also issued another order - to break off diplomatic relations with Soviet Russia!

On the morning of 1 May, the German Provisional Government announced the severance of diplomatic relations with Soviet Russia and the immediate arrest and expulsion of Russian diplomats.

"This is a flagrant violation of the Geneva Conventions and the Vienna Conventions, this is ......" Yue Fei also tried to reason with the Germans, but he was greeted by a ruthless old fist, and a few minutes later, the Russian embassy was destroyed by the Freikorps, and Radek and Yue Fei were deeply imprisoned.

Witnessing this, Zetkin was shocked, and she realized how ridiculous her previous optimism was, because the bourgeoisie and imperialists at home and abroad had long been in collusion, and they had already begun to join forces to stifle the revolution.

Zetkin hurried back, she had to inform Liebknecht and Luxembourg of the news immediately, the enemy had premeditated, and today's action had been prepared a long time ago! Must be transferred immediately!

However, when Zetkin rushed back to the station, there were police everywhere, soldiers with live ammunition everywhere, Liebknecht and Luxembourg, with their noses and faces swollen and covered in blood, were escorted into cars by vicious soldiers.

At that moment, Zetkin was struck by lightning. The revolution has failed, and there is no more hope! Faced with a difficult situation, she was determined to stay with her comrades, and she would tell these cruel devils with practical deeds that the Communists would never give in and would never be afraid of sacrifice!

However, as soon as she took a step forward, a tall figure stepped out of the alley next to her, and without saying a word, he grabbed her, "Don't be impulsive, Comrade Zetkin!" Li Xiaofeng said: "Fearless sacrifice is meaningless, and things have not reached the point of no return!" (To be continued......)

PS: Bow and thank you Comrade Juventus!
