Lenin's warning seemed to me to be a bit of a fuss to Radek and Viet Fei, both of whom were quite optimistic about the prospects of the German revolution. The Berlin uprising had already proved the strength of the German working class, which brought down the Hohenzollern dynasty with a single wave of their hand.

What does this mean? This shows that Trotsky's prophecy is quite accurate. The core of the world revolution is indeed in Germany, as long as the German working class fully explodes with all its strength. What is the destruction of a Hohenzollern dynasty? I'm afraid that the destruction of the capitalist world is all at hand!

In the eyes of Radek and Yue Fei, the current Lenin is Kamenev and Zinoviev in April 1917, who underestimated the strength of the working class, did not understand the actual situation in Germany, and went to the right and conservative road.

Since Lenin was able to forcefully promote the line of armed revolution back then, he was stunned to criticize the pie face and stones as worthless. Now we should also stick to the right line and resist your negative influence.

With this in mind, Radek and Yue Fei did not take to heart the warning to Lenin, for they did not understand at all that Lenin was not going to oppose the line of armed struggle of the German revolution, but to let them learn the lessons of the February Revolution and the October Revolution, and that the situation in Germany was more complicated and hostile than that of Tsarist Russia, and that the slightest mistake could lead to a complete loss.

Ignoring the warnings of the central authorities, and indulging in a momentary victory, whether it was Radek, Yue Fei or Liebknecht, they were a little impulsive and presumptuous. Under their leadership, the KPD soon made a line of struggle to carry out the revolution in depth and seize power by force.

"It's still the same as in history."

Li Xiaofeng looked out the window at the street orators loudly propagating the revolutionary theories of the KPD. A sigh was heard. Although he had made up his mind not to meddle in German affairs. Let the Trotskyists play their part. But when I watched them go to their death, I couldn't help but hesitate.

After thinking about it for a night, Li Xiaofeng finally decided to stand by and watch, sometimes the revolution is too smooth and it is not a good thing, starting with the Russian Revolution, with the gradual victory of the Bolsheviks, impulsive and aggressive ideas have become the main theme within the Bolsheviks.

This kind of situation can also be seen in the line and policy of Trotsky. It is clear that Lenin is the boss, and his people have an advantage in the Central Committee. Moreover, he expressed some misgivings about the theory of permanent revolution and the world revolution, but the Central Committee still followed Trotsky's line.

What does this mean? Obviously! The Bolshevik Central Committee had been carried away by the victory and the great shape of the world revolution, and thought that to make a revolution was to mobilize the masses into the streets, and to scare away the enemy by shouting two casual shouts.

In the long run, this kind of aggressive thinking is very dangerous, and one or two successes do not mean that there will always be successes later, and the chain reaction of the revolution that Trotsky hoped for was a two-way street, that the Communist Party and the working class could set off a wave of revolution through a chain reaction, and that their enemies could also set off a counter-revolutionary chain reaction if they succeeded in stifling a revolution. And their strength is stronger, and the chain reaction may be even more violent.

All in all. The chain reaction on which Trotsky hoped was quite fragile, and his followers had no idea how to deal with defeat. IN FACT, HIS OWN ASSERTION ABOUT THIS IS SOMEWHAT IRRESPONSIBLE, ACCORDING TO HIM, THE CHAIN REACTION FAILS, AND THE WORLD REVOLUTION IS OVER.

What is this? At best, it's a ruin, or at worst, it's opportunism, it's gambling! What's the difference between this and the devil's gambling in World War II? From this point of view, Trotsky really did not look like a proper politician. A qualified politician must make preparations with both hands, what to do if he succeeds, and what to do after failure, all aspects must be considered clearly.

Trotsky did not think much of it, and although he acknowledged that the revolution would have its highs and lows, he did not mention the question of how to get out of it. He talks more about the orgasm, what should be done in the climax.

In the final analysis, this one is one sentence from beginning to end: "If we want to make a revolution and constantly launch a revolution in a country that has not completed the democratic revolution, we are fanning the flames and making a fuss!" If you don't make a fuss, it will deviate from Lao Ma's theory, and that will be revisionism! ”

According to his method, Russia has succeeded in making trouble, and there is no need to be busy consolidating itself, the most important thing is to encourage other backward neighbors to make trouble together, and they must continue to make trouble, and only by making trouble can they survive.

You ask him what if he fails? His reply was, "Keep making trouble!" ”

This Nima is not gambling? Not a cheater? As long as the world is not full of red flags, it is unacceptable to stop and consolidate construction, and it is a heresy that deviates from the theory of the old horse.

It is no wonder that some people in later generations said that this product was an anarchist under the banner of Lao Ma Theory, anyway, in Li Xiaofeng's opinion, it was quite similar. According to his noisy method, the world will not stop. It is true that Lao Ma has made similar assertions, but theories cannot be eaten! The proletariat who stands up to make a fuss is a Humanbeing, people have joys, sorrows, sorrows, and physiological needs, and the starting point of people's revolution is to live a good life, not to make a fuss for the sake of making a fuss.

Ignoring this point, the noise can be carried out for a while, and it can be vigorous for a while, but it is completely unsustainable, and no one can stand this kind of day when there is only destruction and no construction. Anyway, normal people would not choose this way of life.

Li Xiaofeng just wants to see if Lao Tuo has the ability to get out of the revolutionary low-tide, as a revolutionary mentor and a great theorist, you old man can't just dig a pit without filling it, right?

Let the defeat of the German Revolution be the litmus test for Trotsky. Find out if you're a mentor or a gambler!

"Closely monitor the movements of Comrades Luxembourg and Liebknecht and keep an eye on their security." Li Xiaofeng paused and then asked, "Is there any feedback from Karl?" ”

Bulganin replied: "Comrade Karl said that if the plan was carried out, the victory of the Berlin uprising led to a certain negative effect. ”

Li Xiaofeng nodded, it can be imagined. When Wilhelm II and Maximilian stepped down one after another. When Ludendorff resigned. When the news of Hindenburg's laissez-faire revolution reached the High Seas Fleet, the elite of the German Navy would have been confused.

Speaking of conversation, Li Xiaofeng also tried to delay the Berlin uprising at one point, but Luxembourg and Liebknecht were not moved at all. Because fundamentally, the Social Democrats, led by Albert, wished that an uprising would break out, otherwise how would they come to power? Therefore, the action of a certain immortal to delay the uprising will fail, and in the face of the wheel of history, the immortal who does not use immortal power can only be crushed.

Fortunately, this passive and unfavorable situation is unfavorable. Li Xiaofeng also predicted that if he was not mistaken, Albert would solve the problem for him.

"We must not recognize the legitimacy of this provisional government!" Karpovich confronted the officers who questioned the action and said: "They used illegal and violent means to force His Majesty and the Prime Minister to step down!" If this behavior is legal, is it possible for anyone to gain power in the same way? Don't you know what virtues the Social Democrats are, they are no different from the Cadets and Social Revolutionaries who came to power in Russia during the riots of March 1917! We have all seen what has become of Russia through their efforts, the order that God has given us has been subverted, and the righteous people have been persecuted and killed, and they can only be left to tears in their faces...... Mr. We must not succumb to this puppet regime, we must not trust them! ”

The officers began to whisper. The operation was about to be carried out, but who would have thought that Wilhelm II and his cabinet would collapse in an instant, and now they were instantly confused and did not know where to go, and many people were inclined to accept the command of the Socialist coalition government.

But now when they heard Karpovich say it, they began to think that this Socialist coalition government was really like the one that had been in Russia after the February Revolution, and that it seemed that it was not appropriate to obey their orders!

"So what do you let us do? If we do not obey either the Soviets nor the Provisional Government, where do we go? Mesnier asked.

"We should organize our forces!" Karpovich agitated, "You are all loyal soldiers of the Empire, and only you will not betray the Empire!" We must unite and solve problems independently! ”

Messnier asked again, "How to solve the problem?" ”

Karpovich said: "We must first become an independent force, we must get rid of the accusations of those traitors!" ”

"And then? Continuing this war? Mesnier asked with a sneer.

Karpovich glanced at him and replied, "I didn't say that, I just feel that power should be restored, and even if you want to surrender to the Entente, it must be done under his leadership." I don't believe in the politicians who hold the parliament, what they are best at is to sell, if they lead the peace talks, Germany's interests will not be guaranteed at all! ”

Someone else said: "But we are the navy, and we can't get rid of them!" ”

Messnir immediately chimed in: "That's right, even if we have to fight, we won't be able to go ashore, let alone affect Berlin......"

Seeing that the shape was about to lose control, Karpovich secretly muttered in his heart: "Comrade Andrei, where is the turning point you are talking about, in a while, it will be all over!" ”

Albert seemed to hear Karpovic's plea, and he generously sent a turning point.

"Gentlemen, be still!" Feng. Ruyt suddenly walked out and said in a loud voice, "I just got shocking news! ”

The officers' attention was immediately drawn to him, and no one noticed Karpovich's obvious relief.

"General Hippel has informed me of a shocking news! Albert is ready to surrender to the Entente! ”

Many officers immediately showed a look of disdain, what kind of inside information is this, fools know what Albert guys want to do. However, Domanik did not finish speaking, he said solemnly: "And the conditions for the Entente group to accept the armistice are that we will withdraw our troops from France, Luxembourg, and Belgium within 14 days, cede Alsace and Lorraine and a qiē colony, abolish the universal compulsory military system, and the west bank of the Rhine will be occupied by the Entente for 15 years, and no troops will be garrisoned within 50 kilometers of the east bank!" Hand over all the Air Force aircraft, and the Navy's capital ships and cruisers will be escorted to Scapa Bay! ”

As soon as these conditions were announced, all the officers were in an uproar. Even those who were most opposed to continuing the fight did not find these conditions completely unacceptable, if they were accepted. Germany will never turn over, and the country will not be a country!

"We have to act. Stop the traitor! ”

"Overthrow the Albert Cabinet. Fuck off the traitors! ”

In the midst of the uproar, Messnier suddenly asked, "General, is this information true?" ”

Feng. Ruyter glared at him unhappily and said angrily, "Why should I lie!" As we speak, the new Foreign Secretary is leading a delegation to France, where he will sign the instrument of surrender, full of harsh conditions! ”

As he spoke, he waved his fist viciously: "We have to do something!" Gentlemen. We must act now to put an end to these traitorous crimes! ”

"But our power is limited!" Mesnier said again.

"We have to act even if we have limited strength!" Feng. Ruyt reprimanded loudly, "Aren't they going to disband the army and give our artillery and warships to the enemy?" Then we can't let them get away with it! ”

"That's right! We can't let them get away with it! ”

"General, give the order!"

In the midst of the uproar, the plan to lead the army to flee was unsurprisingly solved, and the only trouble was Mesnir, "Mr. envoy, I would like to know very much, what is the point of our going to Szczecin?" What can you do there? ”

Karpovich also saw it. This Mesnier is definitely a nuisance, if you don't get rid of him. Things can't go as planned.

He sighed and replied, "I have said several times before, that the city of Szczecin is finally loyal to Germany, and that when we go there, safety will be guaranteed first." Do you think Scapa Bay is safer than Skarczecin? ”

In the face of Karpovic's rhetorical question, Mesnir was speechless for a while, and went to Scapa Bay to be a prisoner, and for the officers present, no one would want to be a prisoner.

Karpovich looked at him and snorted again: "Secondly, fools know that Szczecin is very close to Berlin, and we will drive the fleet over, so that we can join the friendly forces there, and then we can go straight to Berlin and punish those damned traitors!" ”

Mesnier said stiffly: "We are the navy, not good at land warfare......"

Karpovich yelled at him: "Now it's not a question of being good at it or not, it's a question of having to save Germany!" Lieutenant Colonel Mesnier, I am quite dissatisfied with your attitude, from the very beginning you have been constantly complaining, constantly asking some inexplicable questions, I quite suspect that you are a fellow party of those traitors! Otherwise, why do you always help them talk! ”

Mesnir was so angry that his face turned red, and he glared and shouted, "Don't talk nonsense! I just don't think these actions make any sense! We should accept reality! ”

Karpovich sneered and said sarcastically: "It turns out that it only makes sense to give the fleet of the empire to the enemies of the empire. Gentlemen, the situation is already obvious. Lieutenant Colonel Mesnier is a damned traitor! ”

Messnir immediately felt that many unfriendly eyes were locked on him, and those former comrades and colleagues now looked at him like enemies, but he still did not intend to give up his opinion, and there was no point in continuing to linger.

"Gentlemen! Listen to me! Messnir yelled, "We should recognize the reality, even if His Majesty continues to reign, there is only one way to surrender, we can only ......"

"Shut up!" Domanik interrupted Messnir with a shout of rage, and he grabbed Messnir by the placket and yelled, "I have a subordinate like you, it's a shame for my military career!" Germany will never give in, will never surrender! We will fight to the end! ”

Messnier still insisted: "That doesn't make any sense......"

"Kill this traitor!"

"Kill him!"

Seeing that Mesnier was in danger of being cut into eight pieces, after hesitating for a moment, Dovon. Ruyt ordered: "Tie him up and gag him!" ”

As soon as he gave the order, the officers rushed up and tied Mesnir into rice dumplings.

"What now? Without the orders of this bastard, we simply could not have started the Bavaria! ”

Karpovich immediately stood up and said: "Anesthetize him, just say that he is sick, Major Schroeder, you, as the deputy captain of the Bavaria, take his place!" ”

A few minutes later, Mesnil was flipped to the ground, and the officers returned to their ships in a majestic manner. An hour later, the order to light a fire and raise anchor was given, and in the face of the doubts of the sailors, Karpovich took out the so-called Soviet order forged by a certain immortal, and after a period of twists and turns, more than 20 warships slowly began to start fires, and left the military port one after another......

When Li Xiaofeng received the news that the main force of the High Seas Fleet was going to sea, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Karpovich did not disappoint him, and finally fooled the fleet out. Of course, this does not mean that the plan has been successful, after all, Szczecin is still under the control of the Germans, and if the fleet goes to Szczecin, there is no point, and Karpovich will soon be exposed.

After thinking about it, he instructed Bulganin beside him: "Try to block the news as much as possible, and wait until the fleet has bypassed Cape Grenen, and then stab the news to the new prime minister, I believe that the prime minister will react immediately." ”

How will Albert react?

Li Xiaofeng estimated that the prime minister should first contact the fleet and try to persuade the officers to return to the ship, which is nothing more than a combination of hard and soft. It is clear that the indignant officers will not accept his blackmail, and if nothing else, the prime minister will take coercive measures...... (To be continued......)
