The Rise of the Third Reich

"I have read all the documents of the Blue Plan." Hitler lied. He could not understand most of the contents of the Blue Plan at all. He went on to say, "But I didn't find any content related to the Bolsheviks concluding a peace treaty... Reich Marshal, do you have any way to make the Bolsheviks accept a treaty that is extremely unfavorable to the Soviet Union?"

"There is indeed no such thing in the Blue Plan," Hersman nodded, "because the Blue Plan is only a military operation plan, not a political solution. Research related to political solutions has always been the responsibility of the Army Policy Council."

"Army Policy Council?" Hitler snorted, "Will Natalie Lesinskaya, that Polish woman, have a way?"

Hersman shrugged, "The Army Policy Council is under the responsibility of me, not Ms. Lesinskaya. And... Ms. Lesinskaya has a very thorough understanding of Soviet politics, because she herself was once a part of Soviet politics. She, I and other experts on Soviet issues have discussed a political solution, a solution to end the Soviet-German War."

The war has not yet begun, and we should think about how to end it, otherwise we will fall into a big quagmire - especially against an intercontinental country like the Soviet Union. It is completely unrealistic to imagine that a successful surprise attack can solve the problem.

After discussing many ways, Hersman and Natalie came up with a plan that was most likely to succeed.

"The differences between us and the Soviet Union should be the differences in the lines within the socialist camp." Hersman said in a very serious and earnest tone, "National Socialism and the scientific GCism pursued by the Soviet Union are both branches of socialism. Therefore, Germany and the Soviet Union are comrades and brothers in the socialist camp, and there is no fundamental contradiction between the two countries and the two parties."

"No fundamental contradiction?" Hitler stared at Hersman with gray-blue eyes.

"Of course not," Hersman said seriously, "The cooperation over the past twenty years and the 1939 "Liberator's Declaration" all show that we and the Soviet Union are partners on the same front. The common goal of the two countries is to overthrow the rule of the bourgeoisie over mankind and establish a socialist system throughout the world."

This is of course nonsense, but the propaganda machines of Germany and the Soviet Union fooled people like this for a period of time. Before the Battle of the Mediterranean, every victory won by Germany was celebrated in the Soviet Union, claiming it to be a "great victory for socialism and world revolution." However, after the Battle of the Mediterranean, the Soviet Union obviously turned to Britain and the United States, and the tone of domestic propaganda began to change.

"The impact of more than 20 years of cooperation and propaganda cannot be eliminated overnight."

Hersmann said: "According to the Soviet Union's propaganda before 1941, the Soviet Union and Germany are socialist comrades and brothers. The Soviet-German friendship was created by Comrade Lenin and inherited by Comrade Stalin. The two socialist countries of the Soviet Union and Germany united for the common goal of human liberation and jointly went to war against the capitalist enemy.

This world war was still the beginning of the world revolution in Pravda before 1941! And now, we German socialists are still fighting against the capitalist enemies of the United States and Britain, but Stalin wants to unite Britain and the United States to stab the German socialists in the back! What does this show?"

"It shows that we have been deceived by Stalin!" Hitler said bitterly.

"It shows that Stalin is a traitor!" Hersman said, "Stalin betrayed Lenin's line, betrayed the socialist revolution, betrayed the working people of the world, and betrayed the Soviet Bolshevik Party!" "Haha," Hitler was almost amused by Hersman's words, "Will anyone believe such propaganda?" "Yes!" Hersman said, "As long as Stalin's adventure fails, someone will believe it! There will be many loyal members of the Soviet Bolshevik Party who will believe it!" "Bolshevik?" Hitler sneered, "All these people should be shot!" If Hitler's wishes were followed, most of the Soviet Bolshevik members who were arrested would be shot, especially the political commissars in the army. However, he could not issue such an order in this time and space. The Wehrmacht was loyal to the emperor, not him as the prime minister. "If we want to find collaborators in the Soviet Union," Hersman said, "it can only be the Bolshevik Party without the traitor Stalin!

If we want to eliminate the Bolshevik Party, then it is not a matter of fighting to Moscow, but to Vladivostok. If we just want to defeat Stalin who betrayed Lenin's line, then as long as we complete the Blue Plan, the war will be won. Because the defeated Stalin will lose the support of the Bolshevik Party, he will be eliminated by the Bolshevik Party."

"He is a dictator!" Hitler said coldly, "He is the only one in the Bolshevik Party who can eliminate others. , no one has ever eliminated him. "

"Someone will eliminate him, as long as he becomes the public enemy of the entire Bolshevik Party and the Red Army."

"The public enemy of the entire party and the Red Army? How is this possible?"

"He will definitely become the public enemy of the entire Bolshevik Party and the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army!" Hersman said confidently, "As long as he keeps losing battles, he will become a hated existence. In order to consolidate his power, he must launch a larger-scale purge within the party and the army, causing everyone to be in danger. At that time, he will become a public enemy, and if he does not die, the Bolshevik Party and the Red Army will perish. "

Natalie believes that such a situation is very likely to exist. Because Stalin's power base is ultimately the Bolshevik party, government and military cadres who support him. And the premise of this support is that the country's strength is growing stronger and individuals enter GCism in advance.

To put it bluntly, Stalin really has a way to build socialism in the Soviet Union, and both the country and individuals can benefit. Otherwise, Stalin would never be able to hold on to power by relying on the Great Purge.

If Stalin's "betrayal of the revolution" causes the country to lose troops and territory, and the lives of the vast number of revolutionary cadres and revolutionary soldiers are not guaranteed, then it will not be easy for Stalin to hold on to power.

At this time, Germany no longer aims to destroy the Soviet Union and the Bolshevik Party, but only uses Stalin's betrayal of the revolution as an excuse, making Stalin the biggest obstacle for the Bolshevik Party to maintain its power and for party members and cadres to maintain their lives, power and wealth, then the probability of Stalin being eliminated is quite high.

…

"What? Rudolf Hess met with US Ambassador Kennedy in Switzerland?"

It was Molotov who reported the meeting between Hess and Kennedy to Stalin, because it was the Soviet Union's delegation to the League of Nations in Geneva who first reported the matter.

"Yes, our people saw the two of them together in the White Crane Hotel." Molotov replied.

Rudolf Hess's appearance is easy to remember, and he often spoke at the League of Nations Conference in Geneva as Hitler's representative to criticize Britain. As for Kennedy, the rich man, he had been the US ambassador to Britain and Germany, and he had long been a celebrity in the European diplomatic community. As soon as he arrived in Switzerland this time, he immediately attracted the attention of the Soviet Embassy and the League of Nations delegation in Geneva.

In addition, the White Crane Hotel where Kennedy chose to hold a secret meeting with Hess was also a frequent place for diplomats from various countries stationed in Geneva. When the two brothers met, there were several Soviet diplomats drinking coffee there.

"Do you know what they talked about?" Stalin asked while looking down at the report sent by Golikov from Ireland.

Golikov told Stalin that the fighting on the island of Ireland was very fierce. A German airborne division and an armored division had arrived in Dublin and repelled the attack of the British 11th Armored Division and the 3rd Infantry Division. Now the British army retreated to the Boyne River to deploy defenses. At the same time, the British also transferred a large number of troops and aircraft from southern England to reinforce Ireland. The port of Belfast was crowded with ships full of troops and supplies waiting to be unloaded. German planes dropped bombs on Belfast day and night, and there were air battles 24 hours a day starting from May 3.

The air force experts in the "Golikov Observation Group" found that the Germans had deployed several new fighters and bombers over Belfast, and their performance was very superior. One of them was a twin-engine long-range bomber with a combat radius of more than 2,000 kilometers, which was very dangerous-it could start from the Baltic region to bomb the second Baku oil field in the Urals!

Moreover, according to the intelligence Golikov had obtained, this long-range twin-engine bomber was also a high-speed, high-altitude bomber, and its speed and ceiling were likely to exceed those of the MiG-3 fighter.

After learning that Germany had bombers that could threaten the Second Baku oil field and the Ural industrial zone, Stalin became a little hesitant about the war.

At this time, Molotov said to him: "It is still unknown what Hess and Kennedy discussed, but Hess has been responsible for peace talks with Britain and the United States and was Hitler's peace representative. Kennedy was also responsible for the US-Germany peace talks when he was ambassador to Germany. There is news that their secret negotiations were close to success." "Close to success?" Stalin looked up at Molotov, "Since it was a secret negotiation, how did we get the news?" "This is a rumor. Many people in the Geneva diplomatic circle are spreading it." "Humph," Stalin snorted coldly, "This is the news released by Roosevelt!" He suddenly closed Golikov's report, "He is reminding me that if the Soviet Union does not join the war, the United States will make peace with Germany after the fall of the British mainland. In this way, we will have to face the German attack alone!" Molotov was stunned and didn't know what to say for a while. He lowered his head and said nothing. Stalin was silent for a while, and then he murmured in an inaudible voice: "The Soviet Union cannot fight Germany alone. It can't beat it, it can't beat it..."
