Chapter 679: Ulyanov's concerns (13th update)
??Moscow, Kremlin. This was originally the palace of the Tsar. Even though the capital of Russia was moved from Moscow to St. Petersburg, Moscow's status as the capital has not been weakened much.
??After the cloth party overthrew the rule of the tsar, it set the capital in Moscow. The main reason is that St. Petersburg is too close to the Germans.
??The three Baltic countries have been ceded to the Germans. If the Germans send troops from Estonia, it will only take a few days to reach St. Petersburg. Finland will also form an independent country with the support of the Germans. Any fool can guess that Finland after independence is also controlled by the Germans. In this case, the German army can also attack St. Petersburg from Finland. Therefore, if you continue to keep the capital in St. Petersburg, this will put the entire Russian cloth party in crisis.
??After the signing of the Treaty of Brest, the cloth party finally withdrew from the war and was able to wholeheartedly deal with the white army loyal to the Romanov dynasty. After more than half a year of fighting, they have basically stabilized the situation and began to have an overwhelming advantage.
??However, Ulyanov, as the chairman of the People's Committee, did not feel the slightest joy at the moment. In his office, the senior leaders of the cloth party and the senior commanders of the army gathered here.
"Everyone, our battle against the White Army is about to end. Kolchak and Doenitz won't last long. Soon, our red flags will be planted all over Russia." Ulyano Husband said.
??The leaders of the cloth party and the generals present all showed joy on their faces. Their revolution can only be regarded as a victory after they have completely defeated the White Army. Otherwise, there is a possibility of being counterattacked by the White Army at any time. When the revolution is victorious, these hard-working leaders will not have to live so hard. At least, the treatment is much better than now.
"However, our party and country are still in crisis. In our west, a huge empire is rising. They will soon become the hegemon of the whole of Europe. If they want to attack us, our army Can it withstand their attack?" Ulyanov asked.
??Suddenly, the faces of the generals turned pale. As generals, they naturally knew the combat effectiveness of the army they led. When bullying the white army with low morale, it is of course invincible. However, if you want to confront the world's most powerful German army, it will undoubtedly be too difficult for them. Or even use them to die.
?? "Comrade Chairman, we have a close relationship with Germany and have signed a peace treaty. The Germans should not tear up the treaty and attack us, right?" Joseph bit the bullet and asked. After all, he has always been in charge of liaising with Germany in the Russian cloth party. His relationship with the German side is also very close. Once Germany and the cloth party fall out, he will definitely bear the brunt of being suppressed.
"Hmph! Comrade Joseph. Don't trust the Germans too much. After all, Germany is also one of the most powerful empires in the world. If there are enough interests, I can guarantee that the Germans will definitely betray us." Uriano Husband said with great certainty.
?? "Comrade Chairman, what should we do?" Krestinski, a member of the Organization Bureau, was a little worried.
?? After all, compared to Russia controlled by the Bu Party, the German Empire is too powerful. If the German Empire wants to attack Russia, they will definitely not be able to stop it.
"The Germans will not attack us yet. They have just defeated the French. The peace treaties with France and Italy have just ended. Next, they have to attack Britain. Plus the Germans in this war The loss is not small. Therefore, the Germans have no possibility of attacking us for the time being." Trotsky said.
?? "Comrade Trotsky, what do you think of Germany?" Ulyanov asked.
"Comrade Chairman, there is no doubt that Germany is about to win this world war and become the world's hegemon. Under such circumstances, Russia should not fall out with Germany, let alone provoke Germany, lest they take advantage of it. Although , We have signed a peace treaty with the Germans. But the appetite of the Germans is getting bigger and bigger. One day, the Germans will go to war with us." Trotsky said
"Your Excellency, I suggest that after our war with the White Army is over, we should immediately find a way to strengthen our relationship with the Germans. Get some advanced equipment and machines from the Germans. Only when the industry develops can we Only by being able to produce advanced and powerful weapons and equipment can we have the strength to fight against the threat brought by the Germans." Trotsky continued.
?? Ulyanov nodded. Russia's industry was originally underdeveloped, which made it impossible for their army to even have a rifle per person during the war, let alone other advanced weapons and equipment. Facing an army armed to the teeth, relying on courage and faith alone is obviously not enough. Trotsky, as the founder and leader of the Bundesliga army, saw this problem deeply.
"We can not only buy the advanced machinery and equipment we need from the Germans, but also from other places, such as the Austro-Hungarian Empire or the United States. Especially the United States, they only care about money and don't care about other things. So, as long as there is With money, we can buy what we want." Joseph also said.
"Yes, the Germans are too powerful. They not only pose a serious threat to us, but also pose a serious threat to the United States on the other side of the ocean. If we can unite with the Americans to deal with the Germans, our situation Much better," Kamenev also said.
??Although the United States is also a capitalist country, and even sent troops to attack Russia with the Japanese, there are no permanent friends in this world, but only permanent interests. In the case of a common enemy, even the killing of the father and the enemy can have a good time, let alone two countries. The communication between countries is more realistic.
?? "Okay, everyone. I know everyone's opinions. I will think about it and then tell everyone my decision!" Ulyanov said.
??Now Ulyanov has also become more powerful. He is not at all like when he signed the "Brest Treaty", he was still in the minority in the Bristol Party.
