Chapter 425: Impact

When the results of the battle between Romania and Soviet Russia at Vinnitsa came out, the whole world cheered.

The Wall Street Journal in the United States made a big report on this matter. Freedom triumphed over evil, that was the headline of the Wall Street Journal that day.

In Europe, Romania's victory was publicized by Britain, France and other countries.

In the Times report, they devoted a large chapter to the causes of the war, while criticizing the Russian invasion of Ukraine. And finally analyzed, if Soviet Russia won this war, then its neighboring countries will inevitably become victims of this model of Soviet Russia.

In any case, in the mouths of various European media, Romania represents the civilized world of Europe and has dealt a heavy blow to the red evil regime. Let them know that the civilized world of Europe will not leave this evil regime indifferent and will surely free the suffering Russian people from its clutches.

In Romania, like the rest of Europe, the public cheered the victory. For them, this is another step for their motherland to defeat the great powers one after another and show its strong national strength. For this reason, many newspapers regarded this victory as part of Romania's emergence as a European power, and asserted that in the future, in Europe, especially on the issue of Romania's periphery, other countries must take Romania's opinion into account.

On the other side of the war, the Russian Pravda newspaper vigorously condemned Romania's encroachment on Ukraine's territory. At the same time, the defeat of Soviet Russia was only a passing touch. He also declared that Soviet Russia and the fraternal country Ukraine would never allow Romania to illegally occupy the territory of your country. The Soviet army was bound to defeat Romania and liberate the Ukrainian people who had been enslaved by it.

Despite the fact that Soviet Russia, which Pravda was proclaiming, would not give up, the Soviet leadership now knew that Romania was not to be messed with. They certainly won't gather their troops again to fight Romania, as the newspapers say.

Therefore, on the occasion of the second meeting, the various commissars of the Soviets began to settle the question of negotiations after the end of the war with Romania.

In the same parliamentary room, Kamenev, the titular commander-in-chief of the Russian military, is talking about the situation in Ukraine after the war.

"After the Battle of Vinnytsia, the Western Front has retreated to Kiev, Cherkasy and other areas along the Dnieper. At present, the Central Military Commission has sent 150,000 troops from the Southwestern Front and Moscow to reinforce them. And at the front, Comrade Stalin and Comrades Egorov reported that at the moment the enemy is not attacking them. However, the defenders in Kherson reported that the enemy was closing in on them. ”

Kamenev's words immediately drew a question from one of the commissioners: "Are the Romanians trying to free the White Bandit Army in Murik?" ”

When asked, Kamenev replied: "We do not rule out this possibility, but at the moment the Southwestern Front has sent a corps to Kherson for reinforcements." ”

Hearing Kamenev's answer, another People's Commissar said: "We must not let the two sides converge, otherwise it will be more difficult for these white bandit armies to be exterminated." ”

"The military council is working on a plan to prevent the convergence of the two sides."

"I have an offer."

While Kamenev was talking to several People's Commissars, a voice suddenly interjected.

When everyone looked up, it turned out to be NKVD Commissar Dzerzhinsky speaking.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Dzerzhinsky spoke: "Since we can't take care of the war at home and abroad for the time being, why can't we give up one side and concentrate on the other?" ”

Only Dzerzhinsky and Lenin could say this, not even Trotsky, the founder of the Red Army. Lenin was because of his great prestige, while Dzerzhinsky was known for his selfless qualities.

In fact, before Dzerzhinsky raised it, the people's commissars present here thought about this issue. And anyone with a discerning eye can see that the war with Romania can no longer be fought, after all, this defeat is also a traumatic defeat for the Soviet Russian army. No matter how many Russians there are, they can't give away their heads like this.

However, who is not a human spirit among the people present, this kind of words to destroy their own prestige are so embarrassed to say. Only a selfless person like Jelzhens, could say such a thing.

However, everyone knows that they know, but the necessary objections still need to be spoken. Otherwise, the Soviets shouted the slogan "Liberation of all mankind" every day, which would make the Soviet fighters and the people who fought bloody battles think.

Therefore, as soon as Dzerzhinsky's voice fell, a People's Commissar stood up against it: "Comrade Dzerzhinsky, we must not change our policy because of this defeat, and the Communists should not be knocked down by the difficulties in front of us. We should unite more people and launch a just counteroffensive against Romania, the new imperialism. In Europe, the general public is sympathetic to us, and the reactionary government in Romania is bound to be overthrown by the people. Therefore, I firmly oppose any contact with this reactionary government, which is contrary to the ideals of our Communist Party. ”

With the People's Commissar's speech, other members of the committee also expressed their support for him, and for a time Dzerzhinsky's agenda was in danger of being vetoed.

"Alright. Everyone, be quiet. ”

Seeing that the meeting was trending to one side, Lenin, who was sitting in the chair, knocked on the table and said: "I can understand the feelings of the comrades, but Comrade Dzerzhinsky instructed him to make such a proposal. After all, we are a system of democratic centralism, and every member of the committee has the right to express his or her own views. However, Comrade Dzerzhinsky did not say that it is necessary to negotiate with Romania, but the problems we are facing at the moment, and we need to distinguish priorities. Besides, the ownership of Western Ukraine should not be discussed by us. This is a matter for the Soviet Government of Ukraine, our brotherly country. And now we should only talk about the White Bandit Army's other interventionist forces. ”

Lenin's words made the opposition much quieter. After all, as the founder of the party, Lenin had great prestige and prestige in the party, and his opinion must be fully taken into account.

Lenin, on the other hand, directly attributed the current problems of Western Ukraine to the Ukrainian Soviet Government. Although no one here knows that the Kyiv government is nothing more than a puppet of them. However, in the absence of an advantage at the moment, it is also an option to assign the issue to the fraternal parties. After all, this is a dispute between the Ukrainian government and Romania, which is in front of the party and the population. It's all about the reasons of the past.

Seeing that Lenin's words were adopted by the People's Commissars, everyone began to punish Stalin and Egorov, who were directly responsible for the defeat. After all, it is unreasonable to lose more than 200,000 people, and no one is responsible.

Fortunately, these people's commissars know where the actual responsibility is, so the punishment of the two is not too severe. Political commissar Stalin was transferred to the party as a member of the National Economic Council in charge of production, and Yegorov was transferred to the post of commander of the 19th Army.

And as soon as the results of this discussion came out, Pravda, the mouthpiece of Soviet Russia, published an article. In this article, Pravda is all about the fraternal relationship between Soviet Russia and the Ukrainian government, and also implicitly suggests that Soviet Russia was stationed here in Ukraine at its invitation. And their domestic affairs, any interference they make, everything is based on the deliberations of fraternal neighbors.

Anyway, the meaning in the words is Ukraine's affairs, and Ukraine needs to solve it itself.

Now that Soviet Russia is sending a metaphor to Romania through Pravda, it depends on whether Romania can understand it.
