The American Revolution

DISAGREEMENTS

"I do not agree with you, Vladimir!" - a man with blue eyes behind glasses and an artistic beard said.

"We will reach communism first in America, not in Russia!"

You wrote a book about imperialism and state capitalism as the last phase before communism. America is close to that, and we can run short before everything is ready for the socialistic revolution. It will be a bit of effort in comparison with the Russian situation.

The situation in Russia is very complicated. Peasants are passive, and it will be a hell of an effort to make a revolution there. Do not forget the tsar, his family, and a long list of noble families in Russia and Germany supporting each other.

"Leon, please, we do not have any network in America. How will you organize a revolution?" - A bold, energetic man with sharp brown eyes responded.

"Instead of sending our trained group to Germany and then to Russia, let's forward them to America." - replayed Leon Trotsky.

Besides - all of them are in England on training, and we can send them very easily to America.

I can lead this group, and America's revolution can be my task.

Honestly, your insistence on making it in Russia first looks like you surrender to the primordial instinct to revenge on the Romanov family for your brother Alexander's death. Alexander was fighting against the tsar family and nobles, and the best way to avenge would be to make the revolution work.

"Leon, please - I'm not a dumb person blindly looking for revenge. Yes, I want to settle my accounts about that, but first thing first," - responded Vladimir Ulyanov with a calm voice and shadow in his eyes.

ACTION PLAN

-I'm proposing to work on two fronts. On the one side, I would like to move to America with the team. First, we would be focused on collaboration with strong unions in Chicago, Pittsburgh, and Indianapolis.

Comrade Reiter has more than 500,000 workers in unions, and I have letters exchanged with comrade Randolph, too, interested in supporting our cause with black workers under his control.

I can start a revolution in America next year.

-In my thinking, your group will need at least five years to organize a revolution in Russia

We should use historical momentum to make a world revolution.

-As a communist government, America could help to smash down the Russian and England bourgeoisie.

-But Leon, we have an obligation to the queen of England. If the queen and her men figure out that we plan to take over America, they will cancel our support.

-Don't worry about that. I am connected with Astor's family members, who are interested in supporting us in this endeavor.

-What do they want in turn for that?

-They want to create and run a central bank in America, and we will support them. During the communist revolution, we will eliminate competing families, which will not be a problem at all.

-It sounds like a good plan. Are you sure that you can handle this?

-Vladimir, I'm totally confident that America will become the first communist country. In the meantime, your team will spend at least five years in revolution preparation inside Russia. I already have unions, and please have in mind that together with our black comrades, we will have a worker's army bigger than a million. More importantly, we only need to use our trained political commissars to infiltrate and takeover unions. Revolution can start in the next six to nine months.

Vladimir started walking around the meeting room, scratching his beard slowly like a man in deep thoughts. He turned back to Leon again.

-Ok then, I will lead Europe and Asia fractions with half of our political commissars from London school. So 55 of them for Europe and 55 for America.

-Ok, on the 10th of April, they will all take a ride from the Southampton port, taking the new White Star liner "RMS Titanic" to the Cherbourg-en-Cotentin in France. It's an absolute pleasure that the White Star company accepted my proposal for a red flag as the company symbol said Vladimir, not hiding the smile on his face.

-Half of the men will join me on my trip to Berlin by train, where we are working on operational plans and preparations for the revolution in Russia.

-Another half of men you will lead to the New York and give the best effort to our cause.

Lean Trotsky was pleased by the discussion. With a broad smile, he turned to the Vladimir.

-Thank you for accepting my idea, Vladimir. You will be surprised how effective we will be in America.

-People will be led on the "RMS Titanic" liner by another person. I'll ask Oscar to give me a man I can trust. I have to stay in Paris few more weeks since Natalya is expecting Frida Khalo to visit us.

-After that, we all together go to Mexico, and then I'll take over operations in America.

THE QUEEN's SENTINEL

Inside the Tower of London, the officer was reporting to the man in the black suit.

-I'm telling you that half of the men from the London communist training school are traveling to America, and the White Star company donates all tickets.

-Trotsky travels to America via Mexico, and painter Frida Kahlo supports him.

With no mimic on the face official responded.

-Dear Thomas, it's interesting because the agreement with Mr. Ulyanov was to give them our support for training personnel by our trainers so they could start the communist experiment in Russia. It looks like they are planning to do the same thing in America simultaneously.

Captain Thomas continued to elaborate situation.

-Sir, our men in America discussed this in detail with Mr. Morgan. He is very disappointed because the unions in his Pittsburg steel mills are closely related to the communists.

If communists started something in America, Mr. Morgan would face enormous losses materially, financially, and personally.

Thomas - what high command in London says on our report?

-Sir, the order is that nothing unplanned must not happen in America. Several of our submarines will follow the "RMS Titanic." If that entire group of communists is not landed in France, a liner must go down and sink in the middle of the Atlantic ocean. We must protect Mr. Morgan no matter what.

-Besides all, Astor's family members traveling with "RMS Titanic" are supporting communists and directly breaking the queen's and Mr. Morgan's interests.

The official stopped for a minute and then continued in a small voice.

-Let us check orders once more.

-Thomas, please be kind and inform the admiral to give us a few submarines ready to follow the "RMS Titanic" liner.

FRENCH KISS FOR GOODBYE

On the 10th of April 1912, at 9 p.m., three English submarines in the English channel were waiting for Marconi-gram from the French coast.

On the major submarine radiotelegraphist got the message:

"Only 55 of the communists left the 'RMS Titanic' liner. The group is on the train for Paris".

Second Marconi-gram came from the London headquarters:

"Half of the communist group is still on the 'RMS Titanic' liner traveling to New York.

Execute an order to prevent the 'RMS Titanic' liner from reaching the New York port."

The operation commander looked coldly into the eyes of two other submarine captains:

"Gentleman, queen's order is clear. Please proceed according to the order.

The next submarine meeting point will be at the 'RMS Titanic' liner trajectory before American waters. The coordinates are:

41* 43.5' N

49* 56.8' W
