Chapter 672 From Reactionary to Revolutionary Leader

"Ding-ling-ling..."

A crisp alarm clock ring woke up Ernst Thälmann who was dreaming. A white, slender woman's arm was pressing on his skinny chest. He pushed the arm aside suddenly, and the owner of the arm screamed.

"Ernst, what's wrong with you?"

This was a very coquettish woman's voice, probably belonging to a blonde, blue-eyed, long-legged and sexy Russian beauty...

But at this time, Ernst Thälmann ignored any beauty. He just ran out of the bedroom quickly and suddenly pulled open the velvet curtains of the living room window, and the dazzling sunlight shone in. Thälmann squinted his eyes and looked at the scene outside the window. The red tower of the Kremlin was not far away, and the red star on the top of the tower reflected the sunlight, which was particularly dazzling.

This scene must belong to Moscow, not Solovki.

He suddenly burst into tears, "It's Moscow! It's really Moscow... I'm back! God, I'm really back from the damned Solovetsky!"

In the ten years before the outbreak of the world revolution on June 1, he had been living in the Solovetsky Monastery. Of course, he was not practicing there, but doing labor reform there!

Yes, Thälmann was reformed by labor! This was all Hessmann's fault, because shortly after the Reichstag fire, Thälmann and his comrades were arrested by the Stasi, the German secret service at the time, but they were not shot but sent to the Soviet Union.

It seemed good to go to the Soviet Union, the holy land of GCism, but Thälmann's GCism life didn't last too long before he got into trouble. It turned out that according to the investigation of the Soviet Internal Affairs Department, there was a German spy group within the German Bolshevik Party in exile in the Soviet Union!

This is very likely, after all, most of the German Bolsheviks who ran to the Soviet Union had been arrested. Since they had been arrested, they might have betrayed and surrendered to the enemy, and it was normal for the comrades of the Soviet People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs to investigate.

So Thälmann actively cooperated with the Soviet Internal Affairs Department to catch spies within the German Bolshevik Party, and achieved very good results. The more spies were caught, the fewer good people were caught. In the end, Thälmann was surprised to find that he was also an unforgivable spy!

Since he was a spy, of course he had to be caught. The Bolshevik Party would never let a bad person go, even if he was a senior party cadre. So Thälmann was disgraced, his family and friends also distanced themselves from him, and he was sentenced to "highest security measures", which meant he was to be shot!

However, it was not executed in the end. Before going to the execution ground, it was changed to 25 years of labor reform, and then he was sent to the Solovki Monastery near the White Sea - it was originally an Orthodox monastery, and after the victory of the revolution, it was changed into a labor camp for reforming reactionaries.

Thälmann was reformed there honestly for 10 years!

And just when Thälmann began to deeply realize his crimes and wanted to turn over a new leaf, a cadre from the Ministry of Internal Affairs wearing a blue hat ran to Solovki and announced to him the latest results of the Ministry of Internal Affairs' verification - he was not a German spy, but the Ministry of Internal Affairs made a mistake.

Well, the Bolshevik Party would never wrongly accuse a good person! Since the mistake must be corrected, Thälmann was restored to his reputation and returned to Moscow half a month ago.

However, he was not reinstated immediately because the German Bolshevik Party was banned a few years ago. Without the party, there would naturally be no general secretary of the party. Fortunately, the organization did not treat him unfairly. He was no longer an official, but his rank and treatment were restored.

He was allocated a large house in a good location in Moscow, and received a special supply card for "important fraternal party leaders" from the Third International. The People's Commissariat for Internal Affairs also assigned him a wife - also assigned according to the standards of important fraternal party leaders, a 21-year-old Russian beauty named Anna, whose ostensible occupation was a German translator for the Third International. She was assigned by the Third International to Thälmann, who could speak fluent Russian, as a Russian translator. Of course, Thälmann knew her true identity, but he soon fell in love with her. In fact, this Anna is a very good girl, young, beautiful, gentle, considerate, educated, and especially good at taking care of men, and she would not ask Thälmann to buy a house, a car, a diamond ring, etc.

I don’t know if happiness came too suddenly so that Thalmann’s brain couldn’t react. Anyway, he had nightmares these days. He either dreamed of labor reform in Solovki in the snow, or dreamed of blue hats rushing into the house to arrest him—because he was really a German spy! After 10 years of labor reform and ideological struggle, Thalmann really believed that he was a spy!

And those scenes of arrest or labor reform in his dreams were very real, making him a little confused about when he was dreaming and when he was awake.

Dong Dong Dong...

Just then, someone really knocked on the door, and then Thalmann heard the sound of someone walking. He looked back and saw that it turned out that his woman Anna was wearing a silk nightgown to open the door. And outside the door stood two men in military uniforms and blue caps (this is the dress of internal affairs personnel)!

They really came to arrest!

Comrade Thalmann's head was buzzing, and stars were popping up in front of his eyes. At this time, he saw Anna walking towards him, talking and laughing with two "blue hats", and he immediately felt like being betrayed - this woman must have reported some wrong things she said or talked in her sleep. . She is Cheka's swallow, and she is here to monitor her... Now the higher-ups know that she is a bad person, and they will definitely shoot her this time!

Ernst Thälmann was completely desperate. He didn't want to be shot, nor did he want to go to Solovsky anymore to be tortured. He didn't even want to go to Lubyanka 2 (Interior and Exterior Building).

So he suddenly turned around and reached the window, then pushed open the window with all his strength, leaned half of his body on the window sill with both hands and leaned out - he was going to commit suicide by jumping off the building and seclude himself from the German people!

But it was not that easy for him to die now. He only leaned out halfway, and his waist was already hugged by Anna, who was quick-sighted and quick-witted. Thalmann refused to give up and struggled twice, but he did not expect Anna's strength to be astonishing. Thalmann, who was as thin as a stick of firewood, could not break free at all. Moreover, the two "blue hats" reacted quickly and grabbed Thalmann together.

"Honey, what are you doing?" Anna asked loudly.

Thalmann cried and replied: "Jump off the building! I want to jump off the building!"

"Why? Why did you jump off the building?" Anna asked in surprise.

"Because I am a German spy! I am a reactionary! I will be arrested soon," Thalmann replied, "Anna, be good and let me die!"

Anna and the two "blue hats" were stunned when they heard this. One of the "blue hats" said: "Comrade Thalmann, we took you to see him on the order of the NKVD... Do you want to plead guilty or not?" Let’s wait until we meet the People’s Commissar.”

It turned out that they were not going to arrest him, but were taking Thalmann to see Beria, the NKVD.

…

"Comrade Thalmann..."

In a very luxuriously furnished office in the interior and exterior building of Lubyanka 2, Beria adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and said in Russian with a heavy Georgian accent: "You admit that you are... …an agent of Nazi Germany’s intelligence service?”

"Yes, I am a spy." Thalmann's mind was already in a mess.

"Okay then, you write an explanation." Beria pointed to the report paper and pen on the desk and said with a smile. "Write it clearly. When did you join the Stasi, who was on the line, and what information was betrayed. Write it down clearly."

Beria, just write!

Thalmann is also a person who can write, so this is not a problem for him. And during the ten years of labor reform, he had written countless such things, so he quickly wrote a short spy novel.

Of course, the above content is all made up. When Hessmann asked Thalmann to be arrested, he also wanted to maintain relations with the Soviet Union, so he did not let anyone beat him, the boss of the German Bolshevik Party, or even send him to the Stasi. Instead of being in a dark prison, he was placed under house arrest in the Kempinski Hotel in Berlin, where he was provided with good food and drinks. Beria actually knew about this, and Kempinski's bill was later paid by the Third International...

After taking the "novel" and looking at it, Beria nodded with satisfaction, then took out an ink pad box and asked Thalmann to make a fingerprint. Finally, he put the ridiculous "novel" full of paper into the safe.

"Okay," Beria looked at the slightly depressed Thalmann and smiled, "Comrade Thalmann, when Germany is liberated in the future, we will naturally verify the issues you explained. But before that, we have to Liberate Germany first, right?”

Thalmann was stunned again and again. Aren't he a secret agent and a reactionary? How could he still participate in the great cause of liberating Germany?

Beria went on to say: "Comrade Stalin knows that you were wronged at Solovsky, so he asked me to talk to you in order to let you put down your burdens as soon as possible, move forward lightly, and shoulder the heavy responsibility of leading the German Bolshevik Party and the German revolution. "

What! ? Thälmann has a big mouth. Dimitrov, General Secretary of the Executive Committee of the Third International, should talk to himself about this kind of thing. Why are you, a Soviet NKVD, meddling in other people's business? This will scare people to death!

That's not right... I just wrote an explanation material and gave it to Beria to keep!

Although this material is all fabricated, if it is thrown out in the party, it will cost people's lives! This is an extra-large handle!

Beria smiled very kindly, and said to Thalmann in a gentle tone: "I will help you keep what you just wrote, and no one else will know it, so you can just go about your revolutionary work with peace of mind. Don’t put any psychological burden on me. Comrade Dimitrov will talk to you in the afternoon to discuss the issue of rebuilding the German Bolshevik Party and organizing the German Red Army.”

Thalmann now understood a little bit. This extra-large handle belonged to Beria personally! From now on, I am a Beria person...
