Chapter 21: The enemy of the enemy
What is power? Akado felt the wonder of power on the platform in Moscow, because there was no so-called "idle people" on the platform. The place has been completely cleared by the Soviet military, and even other passengers on the train were required to leave the train within ten minutes.
Therefore, there is no possibility of leaking the secrets at such a grand welcome ceremony. Akado thinks that if the investigation is made, it is estimated that the girls who put flowers are from poor peasants and have been innocent for three generations.
When several people got into the car sent by the Soviet military to greet them, Geer was still beside Akado and muttered: "God! I feel like a national leader. The ceremony of their welcome to us was so warm. I began to like it here!"
"They are so enthusiastic that they must ask you. If you agree to their request and help them sell the interests of Germany, you can even ask them to award you a medal!" Akado said with a smile: "Of course, if you stand on Germany, it will be difficult for you to enjoy the enthusiastic smile like today."
"Really? What should we do? Let's get out of here quickly, right?" Ger was frightened by Akado and said in a little panic.
"Sir Akado, you should not scare our Lieutenant Ger, he is still a child!" Brooke laughed.
"I can't believe that they sent a child with a large caliber pistol to protect a lieutenant colonel. God, this is not funny at all." Akado said deliberately and seriously, and then laughed.
"Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, you are so humorous." As the car swayed, the Soviet officer driving turned his head and said with a smile: "You have an important mission, but you don't look nervous at all. I admire a soldier like you very much."
"Do you know German?" Akado asked awkwardly. It was obvious that the Soviet officer who was driving spoke German-and very standard.
"Of course! Sir, all the people on the platform just now, even the students who presented flowers, were selected German people. Comrade Stalin told me to treat friends from Germany enthusiastically and thoughtfully." The Soviet officer said politely: "Lieutenant Colonel Akado Rudolph! Hello! My name is Polovsky, and I am also a lieutenant colonel. I also know English and French. You can call me Polov."
Why do so many people know more than two foreign languages? Akado felt a little blushing. His English level was not high in his previous life. After working hard, he barely passed Level 6. He could only take it out to deal with a foreigner's direction. If he had a long-term conversation with a foreigner, he could only rely on gestures.
All academic masters are aliens! After complaining viciously in his heart, Akado smiled politely: "Hello, Lieutenant Colonel Polov, you can also call me Lieutenant Colonel Akado!"
In the winter of 1921, the Soviet Union did not have any decent hotels to entertain Akado and his subordinates. In Moscow, the capital of the Soviet Union, there were seven famous landmark buildings, which were high-rise towers built in the Stalin period in the 1950s, including the main building of Moscow University, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ukrainian Hotel, the Ministry of Transportation Building, the Leningrad Hotel, the "Kozhi Building" on the Uprising Square and the "Artist Building" on the Boiler Square - so, there are no decent buildings in the locations of these buildings now.
So Akado was brought to the most luxurious and classic building in the Soviet Union at that time: the Kremlin. In the era when the Iron Curtain came, this was the source of sin that scared the United States and the most mysterious red core in the world. However, before these intimidating names were born, it was the strategic goal that the German Wehrmacht prepared to attack.
Therefore, as a time traveler who was preparing to change his fate to the Third Reich against the will of heaven, Akado had no awe of awe here. He followed Lieutenant Colonel Polov to climb the steps, looking gentle and somewhat strategic.
The banquet was not as grand as imagined. After all, the military band and the students who presented flowers could do it with the next order. However, it costs money to make a delicious meal and drink in winter with a bottle of red wine from the past.
Moreover, this arrangement made Akado and others more comfortable. After all, except Akado, Brooke and Geer didn't like that scary scene.
"I think Lieutenant Colonel Polov must have heard of the German character. We are old-fashioned, stubborn, serious and serious." Akado said to Polov while eating.
Polov nodded: "Of course, but Lieutenant Colonel Acardo, you gave me more of an American."
Akado despised Polov in his heart, because Polov felt that the Germans' old-fashioned and stubbornness combined with the Chinese's intelligence and wisdom became an American. He spread his hands and said, "But I am still a German, I want the negotiations to start as soon as possible! Because we don't have much time left!"
"Yes! I think we all lack time now!" Polov nodded and said, "I will report to Comrade Stalin immediately."
At the end of 1921, Lenin was in poor health and could hardly handle matters, so many decision-making issues were left to Stalin, and Stalin during this period could also be regarded as the actual ruler of the entire Soviet red regime.
"I heard that Mr. Lenin was infected with cold and his condition improved?" Akado deliberately concealed the truth about knowing Lenin's critical illness and asked casually.
"Comrade Lenin is recuperating, and I don't know much about the specific matters. I hope he can recover as soon as possible!" Polov stood up and said, "I'll report now. You have a good rest today. I will give you news tomorrow."
"Then I'll wait for your news." Akado stood up and said politely.
On a calm and cold night, Akado thought about all the past life and remembered the famous song "Night outside Moscow". Only one suburb can hum this song by himself. It's really a bad thing. I don't know who represents the negotiations tomorrow, and whether they are those famous acquaintances in history.
The next morning, Akado, who had breakfast, welcomed the Soviet military representatives who had negotiated this time. What lived up to expectations was a famous historical celebrity who could no longer be famous. Tukhachevsky, a famous Soviet general who was once called the Red Napoleon.
During this period, Tukhachevsky had just stepped down as commander of the Western Front and had just put down the Antonov bandit rebellion in the Tambov area. He was transferred back to the Central Committee to serve as the dean of the Military Academy of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army. It can be said that he was in power and proud.
"Long story! We are here to seek cooperation this time! We firmly believe that the enemy's enemy is a friend. We hope to cooperate with the Soviet authorities. The cooperation content is very extensive. I also believe that the content will make you very interested. Let's talk about your views." Akado said straight to the point. He doesn't want to waste a minute or a second of time now. He does not want to do anything that he says first, which means he loses his momentum.
"What do we have to pay? What will we get?" Tukhachevsky was a very visionary general. He was the current president of the Military Academy of the Workers and Peasants' Red Army, and was already a rank-in-chief of the Soviet regime. Because of his bravery and outstanding military achievements in combat, he was a real power figure in the Soviet army trusted by Lenin and others. During the reorganization of the Soviet army in 1924, he also advocated the development of the famous Soviet tank T-34 in 1931. He began to care about the development of jet engines as early as 1932. He was one of the few terrible strategic generals in the Soviet army known to Akado.
What is even more depressing is that Akado relies on accurate information about the future and the ability to predict the uncertainty to gain his current status. The future marshal of the Soviet army is only 28 years old now, and he can be said to be a real military genius.
This genius didn't talk much. After listening to Akado's words, he said this, and then stared at Akado without looking around, as if waiting for Akado to answer his question.
"Germany can help the Soviet Union build its own heavy industry, including the arms industry and steel industry. We can provide the most advanced machine tools and equipment in the whole of Europe and even the whole world." Akado said this with great confidence, which is much more confident than the one said in the news of a country in eighty years later to reach the advanced level in the world.
"Very good! We really need technical support! If Germany can provide technical assistance that is indeed feasible, then the Soviet Union will provide all the conveniences for German friends in the Soviet Union." Tukhachevsky thought for a while and said, "Tell me what you want."
"We need the Soviet military to provide grounds for the National Defense Forces to train and exercises, and to keep them confidential. We will open factories in the Soviet Union, produce artillery and reconnaissance aircraft. After our cooperation is over, these facilities will all belong to the Soviet Union. During the cooperation, we welcome the Soviet Union to send personnel to these factories to study and work." Akado said with a smile.
"No problem, I will promote this cooperation, including the vodka program that you advocated a few days ago, which will be carefully implemented and protected," said Tukhachevsky.
"In the next three days, I hope the military will allow me to visit the Soviet industrial facilities. I need to know my partners in order to cooperate better." Akado thought for a while and added.
"Yes! I'll arrange for our comrades to accompany you to visit! Although our industrial foundation is weak, there are still some things to show off." Tukhachevsky also thought for a while, then nodded in agreement.
"Happy cooperation! Mr. Tukhachevsky's top general." Akado stood up and stretched out his hand.
Tukhachevsky smiled and stretched out his hand, holding it with Akado: "It's a blessing for the German Wehrmacht to have a talent like you! Maybe you can scare your French opponents in ten years."
