"Of course, the German Bolsheviks could not come to power" Hindenburg stretched out his right hand and touched his white beard, "The upheaval that took place in Petrograd in January has made the last glimmer of possibility disappear, but the revolution is still possible, right?"
Hindenburg's face became serious, he looked at Hersmann, who was sitting opposite him, and said word by word: "Major, please answer this question truthfully." ” "Most likely," Hersman nodded heavily, "and the revolution will bring unimaginable disasters to our empire, just as the February Revolution brought to the Russian Empire."
Hindenburg was silent.
Colonel Karlhaushofer asked: "Ludwig, you mean that the army will disintegrate" "Maybe not that serious," Hirschman sighed, "but it would still render us incapacitated in the face of the Entente, so that the enemy would force us to accept the most humiliating peace, just like we did with Russia, and even more harshly" Hindenburg suddenly opened the drawer of his desk, took out a hand-copied document, and placed it in front of Hersmann: "Look at this. ” Hersman took the document, which was written in English, and had fourteen lines in it: 1.
Put an end to secret diplomacy and sign open contracts; 2. to ensure absolute freedom of navigation at sea; 3.
Eliminate all economic barriers and establish equal conditions for trade; 4.
Reduction of armaments; 5.
In dealing with colonial issues impartially, the interests of the colonial people should be taken into account as well as the legitimate demands of the colonial Government; 6 to withdraw foreign troops from Russia, to guarantee Russia's independence in determining its political development and state policy, and to welcome it into the society of a free country under the system of its choice; 7 German troops withdrew from Belgium and restored their sovereignty; 8 German troops withdrew from France, Alsace and Lorraine were returned to France; 9.
Adjust the Italian borders according to the distribution of ethnic groups; 10.
To allow the autonomy of the peoples within the territory of Austria-Hungary; 11The territories of Romania, Serbia and Menegro were restored; 12 Recognize that the Turkish part within the Ottoman Empire has solid sovereignty, but that the other peoples ruled by Turkey have the opportunity to develop undisturbed on the basis of "autonomy", and that the Dardanelles Strait is forever open as a free navigation lane under international guarantees; 13.
Re-establish an independent Poland with access to the sea, and guarantee its political and economic independence and territorial integrity by international treaties; 14To establish international joint bodies in accordance with the Special Covenant aimed at guaranteeing the political independence and territorial integrity of States, large and small, to each other; These were President Woodrow Wilson's fourteen-point peace conditions, which should have been announced on January 8, 1918.
At that time, Hersman was still busy writing a report to the country about the upheaval in January, and did not pay much attention to it.
"This is a political inducement" Hersman came to the conclusion without even thinking about it, because later generations have already made a public opinion.
"This is a conspiracy of the Americans to break our fighting spirit and that of Austria-Hungary.
As soon as it succeeds, the camouflage will be torn off and the harshest treaties will be imposed on us.
Just by looking at the current Anglo-French-American intervention forces marching into Russia in a big way, you can see that Woodrow Johnson is lying.
He's a complete liar."
Hersmann did not wrongfully accuse the American president, and the sixth of the Fourteen Points of Peace was violated by the Americans themselves before the ink was dry: At the time of the withdrawal of German troops, American, British, French, and Japanese troops invaded Russia and began to support the Bolshevik enemy.
"Hehe, it seems that you also know the Americans very well."
Field Marshal Hindenburg glanced at Haushofer.
"Your opinion of the United States is very much to my liking, and the cowboys and nouveau riche of the New World are simply unreliable.
However, in the near future we may have to deal with them.
Major Hersman, do you have any suggestions?"
"The United States is a semicolon for the United Kingdom" "Ha, ha, ha, that's how you see things."
Field Marshal Hindenburg laughed, "The reason is that they all speak English" "No," said Hersmann solemnly, "they are all dominated by capital, which is the biggest difference between Britain and the United States and our German Empire, and I am talking about the dominant position, capital in Britain and the United States is like a German army, with a state.
Moreover, capital does not have to be attached to a fixed country, and the army has a distinct nationality.
Therefore, capital can flow freely between two countries dominated by capital, and by manipulating these two countries to dominate the world, greater profits can be obtained.
For the capitalists who manipulated Anglo-American politics, the two countries were one. ” "This is Lenin's point of view," Colonel Karhaus Hofer interjected.
"No, the Bolsheviks were more confused on this issue, and in their opinion we Germany and Anglo-American, both were dominated by monopoly corporations.
Mr.
Krupp and Mr.
Benz and some other rich man can get His Excellency the Marshal out of office with a few phone calls. ” Historically, the Bolsheviks also believed that a few phone calls from German capitalists would bring Hitler out of power "It's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard."
Hindenburg burst out laughing, he was a laughing old man, and only on more formal occasions would he put on a straight face and look dignified.
"But Americans' democratic elections are really a money game to a large extent, where capital can really dominate the country."
"But there are still contradictions between Britain and the United States," reminds Colonel Karlhaushofer, "and sometimes it's big" "Wouldn't it be nice to have some contradictions when it's good for the capitalists and don't prevent them from ruling the world," Hirschman laughed, "Isn't it nice that an arms race and proxy wars will bring a lot of profits?"
"Well, it seems to make some sense."
Field Marshal Hindenburg pondered for a moment, "If our empire also becomes a state dominated by capital, does it mean that there will be lasting peace?"
Hersmann was taken aback, he did not expect Hindenburg to ask such a question.
He guessed that Field Marshal Hindenburg must have sensed that something was wrong.
He stood up abruptly and said loudly: "To be controlled means to be transformed, and to be transformed according to the needs of capital, and if capital needs Germany to become a great power, then she will be strong."
If such capital were to tear Germany apart, she would have to disintegrate.
If capital wants Germany to become a colony, then she will be enslaved.
Germany can no longer control its own destiny, and we will become slaves to others" Hindenburg and Colonel Karlhaushofer exchanged glances, and Colonel Haushofer said: "What should we do if I say that Germany really becomes a country dominated by capital in the near future?"
What he meant by "being dominated by capital" was actually becoming a defeated country "Fight," shouted Hersmann, "we must fight to the end, and we German soldiers must not forget our mission, and we must fight to the end, even after defeat."
We will do whatever it takes, by all means, so that the German Fatherland can be revived in the future."

This is a statement to Hindenburg "Oh, that's a good point."
Hindenburg said as he pulled another document out of the drawer.
"But I believe that Germany will never be allowed to happen by the enemy, and we know what to prevent at this stage," he said, patting the papers on the table.
"This is an order to reorganize the Thor group into the Eastern Division of the Military Intelligence Directorate" The Military Intelligence Directorate is an intelligence agency under the Great General Staff, which is run by Colonel Var T.
Nikolai and has about 150 intelligence officers.
They were mainly engaged in military espionage, and they had also achieved great achievements in the past few years, but they were not worth mentioning compared to Hersmann's achievements in Russia, which the Kaiser, Hindenburg, and Ludendorff all considered Lenin to come to power.
In less than a year, he not only "pushed" the Russian Revolution, but also sent back a large number of reports telling the top of the German Empire how the Russians had slipped into the abyss.
It seems that after these reports, the top brass of the German Empire naturally had to take some precautions when the situation at home was unstable and the same threat of revolution.
Hindenburg said: "The Eastern Division of Military Intelligence has only three priorities: 1. to continue to cooperate with the Russian Bolsheviks, to support them in winning the civil war, and to obtain sufficient food and coal from Russia; 2.
Prevent the revolution from happening in Germany; 3.
Develop a plan for the most difficult time for the Empire. ” He pointed to Haushofer beside him.
"Colonel Haushofer will be the chief of the Eastern Division, and Lieutenant Colonel Schleicher will be the deputy chief."
Then he looked at Hersman again, "You are the leader of the Russian group, and as for the Russian-German company, it will also be transferred to the direct jurisdiction of the Eastern Division." ” At the end of the article, Rollo asked for collections and recommendations as usual t1706231537:
