Chapter 16: Natasha I
After waving his hand, Wilhelm turned to Lenin's tomb and looked carefully. Although the current Lenin tomb is magnificent, it is still a wooden structure, not the polished red granite and black marble of later generations.
At this time, Tukhachevsky, holding two white chrysanthemums in his hand, came over and handed one of them to Wilhelm. "Let's go in, Lord Wilhelm."
"Okay." Following Tukhachevsky down the steps, he came to the memorial hall in the center of the mausoleum in a short while. The whole hall was arranged dimly, quietly and mysteriously. All the light in the room was diffused on the crystal coffin; and the light in the crystal coffin was not bright, like the indoor light in the middle of the night, softly shining on the back where Lenin is lying. Only when this light penetrates the crystal coffin, it refracts a very bright thin line at the acute corner of the edge of the crystal plate.
Wilhelm quietly watched the mentor of the proletarian revolution lying peacefully in a crystal coffin covered with red party flags and national flags, wearing a yellow shirt and a red flag medal on his chest. Because it has only been a few years away, the body now can be described as lifelike, not as bad as it looks decades later.
If Tukhachevsky knew what Wilhelm was thinking , he would definitely draw his gun and blast him in the head. It is a pity that he has no mind-reading skills. He just saw Wilhelm silently put the white flower in his hand next to the crystal coffin and wait for a few minutes in silence. He took a step back and turned to the door.
Wilhelm glanced at the majestic Kremlin spire again before getting on the car. It is 1928 and Stalin should have begun to implement the first five-year plan in a series of five-year plans formulated by the State Planning Commission.
This plan can really be called a great one!
By 1938, the two five-year plans of the Soviet Union were successfully completed. The Soviet Union's share of global industrial output increased from 1.5 % in 1921 to 10% in 1939; the literacy rate increased from 28.4% in 1897 to 56.6% in 1926 and 87.4% in 1939; life expectancy It rose from 32 to 69 years; the infant mortality rate dropped from 73% to 32%; the government also provided citizens with free medical care, pensions, sickness and disability allowances, maternity leave, paid leave, and child allowances.
The five-year plan became the basis for victory in the Great Patriotic War.
But the five-year plan also ended the alliance between Bolsheviks and peasants. Farmers no longer cooperate with the government, thus forming a sharp contrast between their high productivity on their small plots of land and their low productivity on collective farms. Low agricultural productivity in turn harmed the situation of Soviet industry.
When the Soviet government uses one-third of its national income for reinvestment every year, this means low wages and a shortage of consumer goods. A Soviet worker's reaction was typical: "They pretended that they were paying us wages, so we pretended that we were working."
Hey, it would be great if he crossed over to William II of thirty years ago. In that case, Europe might have already became unified. In the 1905 Moroccan crisis alone, was a rare opportunity for the Eastern Front to go to war.
Shaking his head regretfully, Wilhelm suddenly stopped the beautiful lady translator when he was about to get on the car. "Miss Natasha, can you please get in my car? I want to learn more about Soviet customs."
Natasha smiled like a flower and nodded in agreement. "it's my honour."
It's really a good one. If I imply something in the car, she will definitely take off her clothes without hesitation, right? But Wilhelm also noticed a detail. Natasha got into his car without asking for instructions from Tukhachevsky. It's either she is stupid or she is not one of Tukhachevsky's men?
Because Natasha got in the car, Rommel Guderian naturally sat in the back car. Unexpectedly, as soon as the car started, Natasha reached out and closed the window curtains and knelt down. "Your Highness."
This sudden move really frightened Wilhelm, he instinctively shrank back and shouted. "Geer!"
The front seat curtain slammed open, and a black gun was pointed at Natasha. "Don't move!"
Wilhelm also saw that Natasha had just knelt down at this time, and did not have any unruly attempts against him. He gradually recovered his calm and waved his hand to make Geer feel comfortable. "Miss Natasha, what are you doing?" his back was soaked with cold sweat. He thought he met an assassin.
Fortunately, he is a young and strong guy. If he was replaced by William II, he may have been so scared by her that he may have died immediately.
Perhaps because of tension, Natasha's face was also pale, and she stammered when she confirmed that there were no gaps in the curtains. "I, I actually, don't call Natasha. My family was originally a little nobleman. I had more than a dozen good friends. Everyone had a very good life. They ruined everything about us! I want Revenge! Your Highness, I am willing to be loyal to you! Will you attack the Soviet Union in the future? I am willing to respond internally!" Although she said a little incoherently, Wilhelm understood. His first feeling is absurd. Is this Tukhachevsky's method to test him? The second feeling is also absurd. So what if he is tested out? During the Cold War in the original time and space, the United States and the Soviet Union had tens of millions of plans to attack each other, but what can be done? Didn't it end up moldy in the filing cabinet?
Whether it was temptation or not, he waved his hand quickly. "Fighting the Soviet Union? No, it's hard for Germany to protect itself, let alone start a war now. I'm a pacifist. Enough people have died in the last war. It's impossible for me to do it again."
Natasha seemed to refuse to give up. "If you can't do it now, it doesn't mean you won't do it in the future. If your Highness has no intentions against the Soviet Union, then why do you search for the blood of the Romanov dynasty and forge one if you can't find it?"
"!!!" Geer's face changed drastically, and he almost pulled the trigger in shock. These words are all the things the Royal Prince told him secretly just now, how could this woman know so clearly? ! If he hadn't followed His Royal Highness every step of the way, then he would be the biggest suspect now, a traitor in collusion with the Soviet Union! !
Wilhelm also thinks so. If Geer hadn't been carefully selected by the Royal Intelligence Service, and hadn't left him just now, let alone contacted others, then he would definitely kill this unstable factor without saying a word.
With a light cough, he simply asked clearly. "How did you know?". With the current technology, it is impossible to create an eavesdropping device that will only appear after decades.
