The Rise of the Third Reich

"Comrade General Secretary, fellow committee members, although the Mediterranean battle will continue for a month or two, the situation is already very obvious. Germany and Italy won the battle. When the British Mediterranean fleet withdrew, the outcome of this battle was already decided. Come out. I think the situation of the entire war is also partially clear!"

Comrade Kuznetsov, People's Commissar of the Red Navy and Commander-in-Chief of the Red Navy, is making a report to the Central Political Bureau of the Bolshevik Party of the Soviet Union. He had just led a Soviet naval observation group back to the Soviet Union aboard the battleship "Paris Commune".

Although he did not see the fleet decisive battle he had hoped for while watching the battle in the Mediterranean, Kuznetsov still felt that the trip was fruitful.

"Is the war situation clear?" Stalin puffed on his pipe, expressionless. "Is Germany going to win?"

"I don't know," Kuznetsov replied, "Comrade General Secretary, the future of the British Empire is now clear... Its crown will fall! But it is still unclear who will get the crown in the end."

Stalin chuckled and asked again: "Comrade Kuznetsov, which country do you think is most qualified to get Britain's lost crown?"

"The Soviet Union!" Kuznetsov replied decisively, "Only when the Soviet Union replaces the United Kingdom as the world's leading force can all mankind be liberated in the 20th century."

The statement of the People's Commissar of the Soviet Navy is actually derived from some internal documents of the Soviet Bolshevik Party in this time and space that only very senior cadres can see - in these internal documents, World War II was characterized as "the possible liberation of mankind" war"!

The Bolshevik Party of the Soviet Union believed that as long as the Soviet Union joined and became the leading force, the nature of the war would undoubtedly be a war of human liberation, and all mankind would be liberated in the 20th century, and the legendary GC doctrine would be realized before the year 2000.

"Oh, that's it." Stalin nodded, and then looked at Molotov, Chairman of the People's Committee. "Vyacheslav Mikhailovich, what do you think?"

Molotov's brows twisted slightly behind his gold-rimmed glasses, and his mood seemed a little heavy. Hearing Stalin's question, he thought for a moment, and then said: "Comrade General Secretary, what we can be sure of now is that Britain will definitely lose World hegemony, the British navy lost to the naval and air power of Germany and Italy in the Mediterranean. This was a decisive event!"

Molotov's views are representative. Britain not only lost 4 battleships and 1 aircraft carrier in the Mediterranean Campaign, but also lost a very important ocean!

"I think..." Molotov paused, and then slowly said to Stalin word for word, "If we feel that we join Germany and Italy now, the world war will end within a few months. We, Germany and Italy will win."

What he said makes sense!

Although the United States is the most industrially powerful country in the world, it does not have the power to defeat the combination of Germany and the Soviet Union. If the Soviet Union now officially joins the war as an ally of Germany, then Britain can only surrender, and the United States can only continue to play isolationism.

There is no possibility that millions of American soldiers would cross the Atlantic and land in France, and then challenge tens of millions of socialist revolutionary fighters armed to the teeth.

Stalin took a few puffs of his cigar, nodded and said: "As long as I announce in Red Square tomorrow that we will fight with Germany, the war will be won. It's that simple... But is this a world revolution?"

Hearing Stalin's words, the members of the political bureau of the Bolshevik Party of the Soviet Union present were shocked - now it is announced that there is no risk in fighting Britain together with Germany. Although there will not be much oil and water, it is better to be safe. This is a "world revolution" that can be won even if you lie down. It is hard to say whether all mankind will enter the GC in 2000, but the comrades here who have already started to experience the superiority of the GC system will definitely not become Revolutionary martyrs...

But if the Soviet Union is unwilling to follow Germany in the world revolution, but wants to join the United Kingdom and the United States, then if it wins, the United States and the Soviet Union will fight against each other, but if it fails... everyone will become a revolutionary martyr!

"This is not a world revolution!" Khrushchev, the first secretary of Ukraine, was the first to express his position. He shook his bald head and said, "Because Germany is not actually a socialist country. This country has an emperor, aristocrats, and Capitalists! Although the working people in Germany have a relatively secure life, this is reform capitalism at best, not socialism.”

Stalin nodded with satisfaction, this Khrushchev is not bad, he is a good comrade.

"Comrade Stalin," Molotov saw Stalin's expression and quickly followed up, gritting his teeth and said, "Germany is pseudo-socialism. This is something more harmful than capitalism. If pseudo-socialists steal it, leadership of the world revolution, then mankind will never have the chance to realize GCism.”

Seeing that Molotov also expressed his position, who among the political bureau members present did not understand Stalin's thoughts? If you follow Germany to fight a world war, of course you can win it lying down, but what happens after you win?

After Germany wins the war, it will definitely accelerate the integration of Europe. Not only will many countries on the European continent become part of the European Community led by Germany, but even the defeated Britain will be integrated by Germany. After all, the blood of the people of Britain and Germany is very close, and the mother of the current German Emperor William is the eldest princess of England, and his grandmother is Queen Victoria. Among all Queen Victoria's grandchildren, Emperor William is the eldest brother and inherits his grandmother's legacy. It seems that becoming a British monarch is not impossible...

In addition, the Middle East, where many oil fields have been discovered, will definitely become Germany's sphere of influence. These major countries in the Middle East, including Turkey, Iran and Iraq, are relatively pro-German, and Turkey among them is very anti-Russian. So if Germany wants to enter the Middle East next, all kinds of reactionaries and leading parties will come together to welcome it.

Needless to say, the resource-rich African continent has always been the territory of "Old Europe". Before World War I, Britain, France, Germany, Belgium, Portugal, Italy, and Spain divided the continent among themselves.

With the industrialization of Europe, the oil in the Middle East, and the various natural resources in Africa, the big brother of socialism in the future will definitely be Germany. And for a great country like the Soviet Union and a great leader like Stalin, could he be willing to be a socialist second brother like a doormat?

After understanding Stalin's thoughts, comrades began to express their opinions one after another.

"Germany is obviously not a true socialist country, and it is impossible for Germany to lead the people of the world to liberation."

"The Soviet Union must lead the world revolution. This is a necessary condition for the realization of communism around the world."

"On the issue of world revolutionary leadership, we must never make concessions..."

Most of the members of the political bureau have finished expressing their opinions, but there is one comrade who has not spoken. He is the People's Commissar of Defense Voroshilov.

Stalin just looked at him expressionlessly, puffing on his pipe. He didn't know how long it took before he heard Voroshilov slowly speak: "Of course Germany is not a true socialist country. But from the Battle of the Western Front and the Judging from the situation in the Mediterranean campaign, Germany has a strong army and air force.”

Others can be irresponsible and sing high-pitched words, but as the People's Commissar of National Defense, Voroshilov did not dare to speak nonsense. This is a war with Germany! Previously, the Soviet Union had some difficulty in regaining Western Belarus, right-bank Ukraine, and the Karelia region (formerly part of Finland). Now it has to fight the arrogant German army. Isn't this seeking death?

"Comrade Stalin," Voroshilov said very seriously, "with the current strength of the Red Army, it is very difficult to defeat Germany. And once the workers' and peasants' Red Army fails in the military struggle against Germany, our revolutionary cause will suffer Heavy damage."

Upon hearing Voroshilov's statement, the political bureau members present, including Khrushchev, breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, but their expressions did not change at all.

"So..." Stalin smoked his pipe and frowned slightly - he was not blaming Voroshilov, because Voroshilov was telling the truth. In fact, he also knew that he could not defeat Germany. The reason why he questioned whether Germany was a socialist country at the political bureau meeting was just to find out the attitude of the political bureau members towards the Soviet Union and Germany. After all, the friendship between the Soviet Union and Germany was initiated by Comrade Lenin...

"So under what circumstances can the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army achieve a decisive victory?" Stalin asked slowly.

"The United States joins the war!" Voroshilov said, "The United States is currently preparing for war, and joining the war should be a matter of time. If the United States can join the war first, then we may be able to join the war when the United States and Germany are both losing."

"The United States will enter the war first!" Stalin suddenly glanced at Molotov, "Tell Comrade Litvinov that this is a prerequisite for the Soviet Union to participate in the war against Germany!"

Molotov said: "I will send a telegram to Comrade Litvinov as soon as I return."

"You still have to go to Germany," Stalin then told Molotov. "The Soviet Union wants to take back the four territories that originally belonged to the Russian Empire: Baltica, Lithuania, Poland and Finland. In addition, Iran, Afghanistan and India The Soviet Red Army is responsible for the liberation. This is the condition for the Soviet Union and Germany to fight together!”

Stalin also put forward conditions for the Soviet Union to join the war on Germany's side, but some of the conditions were quite harsh! He wanted back the territories that the Russian Empire lost due to World War I - now the Baltic States, the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, the Kingdom of Poland and the Republic of Finland!

This is of course unacceptable to Germany, because Estonia and Latvia have long been the Baltic states of the German Empire. Lithuania and Poland are members of Germany's co-monarchy union, and Finland is a member of the European Community.

"Okay, I understand what you mean." Molotov nodded. He knew that Stalin did not expect Germany to accept such conditions. He just wanted to conduct "war negotiations" with Germany to ensure that the Soviet Union could Join the war as an ally of Germany immediately when you want to join.
