The Rise of the Third Reich

"Your Excellency, Imperial Marshal, how much time do we have to prepare?"

"The time is a bit tight, less than a month away... The specific date is of course confidential and cannot be disclosed."

"One month is enough. Tens of thousands of soldiers have gathered here in Tallinn to form a royal army, but they have little equipment."

"Equipment is not a problem, we will provide it."

"Ludwig, there will be many people participating in my army. The tens of thousands of people in Tallinn are just fire. As long as I appear on Russian soil, countless Russians will follow, so I need a lot of weapons."

"Oh... no problem, that's no problem at all, we have a lot of weapons to provide. As long as someone is willing to join your royal army, I can provide weapons."

"That's great."

The morning after Hersmann arrived in Tallinn, formal negotiations began. There were not many people participating in the negotiations. Those representing Germany were Hersmann and Tipelskich, and those representing the Russian Empire were Empress Olga, Baron Wrangel and Prince Yusupov. Although there are not many people, the issues to be discussed are quite important.

The first thing raised was the question of organizing the Russian reactionary army - Olga had no doubts about raising a reactionary army with a large number of people.

Because her main job for more than 20 years was to promote Russian imperial titles and study the Soviet Union. Not only did she carefully read every issue of "Pravda" and every novel officially published by the Soviet Union, but she also frequently met with people who had defected from the Soviet Union. Reactionaries and German experts who have worked and lived in the Soviet Union for a long time. He knew the inside story of the Soviet Union very well and knew who would support the Bolsheviks and who would oppose them. Of course she also knows who to mobilize to join her army!

Those Soviets with Moscow household registration and Leningrad household registration must be die-hard Bolsheviks (bad elements are generally not allowed to live in big cities). It is a dream to want them to support the Queen.

But in the hearts of the "black N" elements in the Russian rural collective farms, everyone must have a "transformation account"!

The leader of these bad elements who dream of changing the world is undoubtedly the "public enemy of the Soviet people" and the "corrupt and reactionary Empress of the Romanov Dynasty" Olga Nikolayevna Romanova - -Due to the unremitting smear propaganda carried out by the Bolshevik authorities for more than two decades, Empress Olga has always been an important part of the social and cultural life of the Soviet Union!

It is no exaggeration to say that as many people in the Soviet Union know the great leader Stalin as they know the reactionary leader Olga. Therefore, to the Soviet people, the reactionary Queen Olga was a bad person comparable to the revolutionary leader Stalin.

And everyone is very clear about Olga’s reactionary conspiracy (which can also be said to be political ambition) - to reverse the existing social order and hierarchy of the Soviet Union! Let the "black generation" become superiors, and let the "red generation" become rebels and untouchables...

So Olga and her royalists already have a group of natural supporters without even doing any propaganda!

"So...will Germany and the European Community recognize that we are the only legal regime in Russia?" Queen Olga suddenly raised a slightly sensitive question at this time.

There is only one Russia! One Russia and one Soviet Union or two Russias will not work... If Germany officially recognizes Empress Olga as representing Russia, then the door to compromise with the Soviet Union will be closed.

The battle between Sud and Germany may really be a fight to the death.

"Of course," Hersman nodded and said with a smile: "As long as you enter Petrograd to establish a government, we will recognize it as soon as possible."

As long as you enter Petrograd...the threshold is not low! In fact, Hessmann had no intention of occupying Leningrad.

However, Queen Olga did not point it out. She still showed a very satisfied expression and said with a smile: "We will definitely enter Petrograd soon, because there are still many people in Russia who will support me... By the way, I can Recruiting fighters in Soviet-German friendship prisoner-of-war camps?”

"Okay." Hessman nodded and agreed to Olga's request. In fact, even if Olga didn't mention it, Hessman would take the initiative.

Because of the existence of the Soviet Union's 1926 "Criminal Code", these Red Army prisoners of war captured by the Germans, no matter what their status was before they were captured, are now reduced to the "Black N Category".

After returning, you will have to undergo labor reform. After the reform, you will be "hatred" for life, and you will not be able to live in big cities like Moscow and Leningrad. Moreover, your descendants will also be classified as "black N-type family backgrounds"... Join the party, be promoted, and take exams. Universities were basically hopeless and there was no way to advance unless the Bolshevik Party collapsed.

So in history, the Germans recruited many "Russian Liberation Army" from Soviet prisoners of war, and some of them became hardcore Nazis and fought almost to the last moment.

At the moment, Olga, the reactionary empress of the Romanov dynasty who is well-known in the Soviet Union, has much greater appeal than a figure of Vlasov's level. At least every Soviet person knows this name. He is the number one reactionary and the undisputed leader of the small reactionaries in the prison camp!

Moreover, Queen Olga represents the old Russian Empire. Surely taking refuge in Olga is not considered a betrayal of Russia, right?

"Ludwig, I have never been married, and I have no legitimate children." Queen Olga changed the topic and suddenly brought up a personal issue, "Therefore, I am going to designate Grand Duchess Kira Kirillovna as the Russian Grand Duchess. Heir to the throne."

Grand Duchess Kira Kirillovna is a descendant of Grand Duke Vladimir Alexandrovich, the fourth son of Tsar Alexander II, and is the same generation as Empress Olga. Her father, Grand Duke Kirill Vladimirovich, is the heir to Empress Olga. It is Olga's turn to kill the Tsar now. However, the Grand Duke is already old and will probably not survive. Olga. So Olga could justifiably step away from him and choose the heir among his children. However, Grand Duchess Kira was not the first heir after Grand Duke Kirill. Grand Duchess Kira was the second daughter. So Olga did some more work to get Archduke Kirill's sons and eldest daughter to give up their inheritance rights, and finally made Archduke Kiril the legal heir.

There was only one reason why she was so deliberate in turning Grand Duchess Kira into the future Empress of Russia. That was because the Grand Duchess hooked up with Crown Prince Louis Ferdinand, the heir to the Hohenzollern dynasty. In other words, this Grand Duchess Kira is the future queen of the German Empire. If she inherits the Russian throne, Russia and Germany will become a co-monarchy alliance.

Queen Olga paused, then continued: "In view of the future close relationship between the Russian Empire and the German Empire... the German Empire does not need to make new demands on the Russian Empire on territorial issues. The future border between the two countries can refer to 1939 The western border of the Soviet Union before September 2011.

This means that the Russian Empire can hand over the right bank of Ukraine (west of the Dnieper River), western Belarus and Karelia. But if Germany wants more, Queen Olga cannot agree.

Otherwise, she would not be a reactionary empress who wants to restore the Russian Empire, but a Russian traitor who wants to betray the interests of the Russian nation.

Hersmann and Tipelskich looked at each other. There was some conflict between the Queen's request and the policy of the German High Command. The German high command wanted to capture the entire Ukraine and, if possible, the oil-producing areas of the Caucasus.

However, Hessmann does not believe that Olga can overthrow the Bolshevik regime with the support of Germany, and Germany has no such plans. Now it is just using Olga and White Russia to attract hatred.

Therefore, Olga's request can be agreed to - she is unlikely to succeed anyway.

Thinking of this, Hessman nodded solemnly and said: "Oliga, we can agree to your request in principle. The formal agreement cannot be signed yet and needs to be approved by the Supreme Command meeting. However, the weapons and ammunition to assist you are very limited. It will be delivered soon, and the activity funds will be paid starting in July. Now, 1 million European marks will be given every month.”

…

"Comrade General Secretary, the German Nazis are likely to support Empress Olga to oppose the Soviet government!"

Hersman's activities in Tallinn could not be hidden from Stalin in Moscow. The day after he left Tallinn, Beria reported the matter to Stalin - Belarus was monitored by the internal affairs department led by him. Among the Belarusian veterans now gathered in Tallinn were informants from the Soviet internal affairs department.

"Support Olga?" Stalin laughed heartily, "The Germans could be so stupid to place their hopes of overthrowing the Soviet regime on an outdated figure like Olga."

Although Olga has always been the number one villain in Soviet official propaganda, Stalin did not take her seriously. He was just continuing the standards of Lenin's era. What really worried him was Trotsky who was in exile in Mexico!

At most, Olga had some appeal among some of the dregs at the bottom of Soviet society, and those people could not threaten the Soviet power at all. Trotsky had high prestige within the Bolshevik Party and the Soviet working class. But Stalin was so wise. How could he dare to provoke a world revolution unless such a time bomb was defused? Trotsky had been assassinated by Soviet agents two years earlier.

However, Stalin would not take Germany's support of Olga seriously. The Soviet Union could do the same thing!

"Comrade Beria," Stalin thought for a moment and then asked, "Have all the misunderstood comrades of the German Bolshevik Party been restored to their honor?"
