Chapter 674 God Bless the Queen
Comrade Curtis LeMay, a great internationalist fighter, an old friend of the Soviet and Chinese people, and a loyal member of the Bolshevik Party of the United States, has been feeling a little unhappy these days.
Well, as a prisoner, it is natural to feel unhappy.
However, there are other reasons for Comrade LeMay's unhappiness. First of all, it is because of the evil Nazi devil Irma Grese. Russian translation is just her part-time job. Her main job is a nurse in the concentration camp, but she is definitely not an angel in white, but a very vicious nurse.
Grese first carried out a series of persecution actions against Comrade LeMay in the Mosul concentration camp in Iraq, and later in the Nuremberg concentration camp in Germany (because the prisoners needed to visit and study, the Mosul concentration camp was moved to Nuremberg in early July).
"Comrade Li Mei, you are too fat and have been smoking for a long time, so you suffer from high blood pressure, high blood lipids and high blood sugar. For humanitarian considerations and the requirements of the Geneva Convention, we must provide you with treatment." In a medical room in the Nuremberg concentration camp, the devil nurse was solemnly reading Dr. Mendel's diagnosis to the American colonel who had long been starving and thin.
"The treatment method is to control diet and increase exercise at the same time." The nurse said, "So you can't eat meat, butter, milk, sugar, or smoke. You can only eat vegetables, whole grain bread and a small amount of eggs... In addition, you have to move bricks and exercise. I wish you a speedy recovery and a long life."
Li Mei snorted, took the nonsense diagnosis report and turned around to leave the medical room. He knew that the Nazi devil was persecuting him because he had been against the leaders in the concentration camp and cheered up the Soviet prisoners who were almost collapsed. That's why he was hungry every day and had to move bricks to build houses and was not allowed to smoke. Even the Red Cross package was lost. Until now, he has not received food from America.
However, Comrade Li Mei knew that his life was in the hands of the Germans, so he would not seek revenge against the Nazi witch for a bite of food. But he kept this hatred in mind until the day he died... That was already 2007, and Comrade Li Mei was 101 years old that year.
In addition to starvation and moving bricks, another thing that made Comrade Li Mei unhappy was that the Nuremberg concentration camp was getting bigger and bigger. During this period, he moved bricks every day to expand the concentration camp! The purpose of expanding the concentration camp was to accept more Soviet prisoners of war from the Warsaw front.
Seeing those Soviet comrades with mental breakdown, numb expressions, and zombies lined up in loose formations and were escorted to the Nuremberg prisoner-of-war camp by a small number of Nazi soldiers, Comrade Li Mei couldn't help but worry about Stalin.
The last thing that made Comrade Li Mei very annoyed was that the Nazis always organized prisoners of war to visit cities, factories and villages near Nuremberg every now and then. What else can I say about German cities, factories and villages? They are all neat, beautiful and well-ordered. Although they are not as grand and rich as the United States, they are definitely richer than the Soviet Union ruled by the Bolsheviks... This is clearly a psychological warfare by the Germans! They want to use facts to prove that German National Socialism is superior to Soviet GCism!
Li Mei was walking while thinking about random things, and unknowingly arrived at the large playground of the concentration camp. This is where the prisoners of war go out for exercise and listen to the radio every day. Sometimes the concentration camp will organize traitors to give speeches here, talking about the 1926 Criminal Code. However, Comrade Li Mei sounded that those scary crimes were not a problem at all. Wouldn't it be enough to spend some money to find a better lawyer? Is it worth going all the way to the end?
At this time, more than 10,000 people had gathered on the large playground, almost all of them were Soviet traitors (from the perspective of Soviet law, they were traitors). They were all dejected, looking like they had no desire to live but were afraid of death, which made Comrade Li Mei angry when she saw them.
Just when Comrade Li Mei was angry, the loudspeaker on the playground suddenly sounded: "Silence, please be quiet, now the Russian national anthem is playing."
The Internationale was about to be played again. Comrade Li Mei now knew that the Soviet national anthem was the Internationale, and he could now sing the Internationale in Russian.
Soon, a melodious tune came from the loudspeaker, but it was not the passionate Internationale.
Then the voices of a chorus of men and women came from the loudspeaker: "God save the Queen! Powerful and noble, your rule brings glory, our glory! Your rule frightens the enemy, and rules Orthodoxy. God save the Queen..."
This is... the wrong song? Comrade Li Mei thought: Aren't you Germans very rigorous? How can you even make a mistake when playing a song?
The playground, which had been quiet, was also in uproar. Most of the people who were arrested and brought to Nuremberg were Soviets (born or raised in the Soviet Union) and had never heard the Russian Empire's national anthem. But there were also some older officers or political workers who had lived in the Russian Empire era.
"Oh my god, this is 'God Save the Empress'!"
"The national anthem of the Russian Empire..."
"Is the Empress coming?"
"Which Empress?"
"The evil Olga Nikolaevna Romanova!"
"Oh my god, she's coming, what should we do?"
"Of course we fight her?"
"Fight? Why?"
"Because she's the leader of the bad guys!"
"But we're not good people now either?"
"Yes, we're bad people too...According to Article 58 of the Criminal Code, we're all reactionaries and need to be reformed through labor!"
"So, we are all on the side of Her Majesty the Empress now?"
"According to Article 58 of the Criminal Code, we are now Her Majesty the Empress..."
"Alas, after half a lifetime of revolution, we are now in the same group with Empress Olga."
What kind of perverse logic is this? Are these Russians crazy? Hearing the discussions of a group of Soviet prisoners of war around him, Comrade Li Mei was so surprised that she couldn't even close her mouth.
Amid the melodious tune of "God Save the Empress" and the discussions of Soviet prisoners of war, the luxurious carriage of Russian Empress Olga arrived at the Nuremberg concentration camp under the escort of a team of bearded Cossack cavalrymen wearing long smocks, cloaks, sheepskin hats, and carrying long and sharp shashk sabers on their backs.
In front of the carriage, two Cossack knights who were riding side by side each held a flag fluttering in the wind, which was the yellow and black flag of the Romanov Dynasty and the white, blue and red flag of the Russian Empire.
"Your Majesty, I doubt that there will be any Bolsheviks following us."
Inside the carriage, sitting side by side with Empress Olga was Baron Wrangel, a brutal old White Russian general who was now the Empress's Minister of War. However, he obviously did not agree with the Empress's policy on how to treat Soviet prisoners of war, especially the political workers and Bolshevik Party members among the prisoners of war.
It turned out that Empress Olga did not come to the Nuremberg concentration camp today to fool all Soviet prisoners of war. After studying Soviet issues for many years, she has realized the importance of cadres. And she also knew that if she wanted to restore the Romanov dynasty on Soviet soil, she could not rely on the old white men (White Russian old men) who followed her now. Although these people are loyal enough, most of them are good-for-nothings, otherwise they would not have been defeated by the Red Army more than 20 years ago. In addition, these guys have not returned to their country for more than 20 years. They are completely in the dark about the situation in the country. How can they be relied on to restore the country?
So the Empress came to Nuremberg today to treat the Bolshevik Party members and political workers (political workers are all Party members) here to a big meal. Unlike the German army in history that would kill political workers once captured, the Germans now still hope that these political commissars will betray the revolution.
Olga also wants to win over some of the political workers to her side... As long as these people surrender, at least half of the people in the entire Nuremberg concentration camp will follow her. As long as the Germans provide more weapons, a modern army that can really fight will be there.
And in the future, when they invade the Soviet Union, they can also rely on these former Soviet political workers and Bolshevik party members who are familiar with the situation to establish a royalist regime.
Hearing her most loyal minister questioning her policies, Empress Olga just smiled faintly: "Minister of War, you are right, no Bolsheviks will follow us. But there are no Bolsheviks in this prisoner-of-war camp, only former Bolshevik members...now reactionaries!
In a sense, they are the same as the White Russian nobles wandering in Europe. They used to be Soviet nobles, but now they have lost everything, honor, wealth, power, and even relatives. If they are unwilling to fall to the bottom of the untouchables, then they must fight, and fight with us against the leaders of the Bolsheviks!"
...
"Comrade Thälmann, please sit down." At the same time as the Russian Empress arrived at the Nuremberg concentration camp, Stalin summoned Ernst Thälmann, the general secretary of the German Bolshevik Party.
The German Bolshevik Party had officially "re-established" a few days ago. Ernst Thälmann became the general secretary and formed the German Bolshevik Party and Government Bureau together with Friedrich Ebert (son of former German President Ebert), Walter T. Ulbricht, Erich Honecker, Albert Norden and others.
Hearing Stalin asking him to sit, Thälmann hurriedly sat down respectfully on a high-backed chair, only daring to sit on half of his buttocks, with his hands on his knees, looking obedient. Obviously, Thälmann learned a lot from the ten years of labor reform.
Stalin smiled and nodded, took a puff of cigarette, and said: "Comrade Thälmann, you and other comrades of the German Bolshevik Party have been wronged over the years. You have been wronged. As the leader of the Soviet Bolshevik Party, I am responsible for this. Now I want to apologize to you and welcome you to return to the revolutionary ranks and participate in this great journey of liberating all mankind."
