In St. Petersburg, in the Hermitage, in the conference room, the members of the Supreme Council of the Brazzaville Party sat at the conference table. In everyone's hand www.biquge.info he had a telegram from Trotsky from Brest. The content of the telegram is the tough attitude of the German side and the conditions put forward by the German side. Of course, the harsh conditions put forward by the German side made these leaders of the Brazzaville Party stupid one by one.

"The Germans are clearly opening their mouths, and we absolutely cannot accept such conditions. Otherwise, Russia will be completely reduced to a small second-rate country. Kamenev's face turned red with anger.

If the Brucellos accepted the German terms, they would lose not only millions of square kilometers of territory, but also the equivalent of 40 percent of the country's population and more than half of its industry. Coupled with the loss of resources, this will make Russia completely lose the capital to become a great power! These leaders do not want the country they will be in command in the future to become like this.

Ulyanov was also pale. He was also intimidated by the appetite of the Germans. Originally, he thought that even if Germany wanted to slaughter Russia, it should not be too harsh. After all, the Cloth Party is not a fool, how could it agree to such harsh conditions? But now, Ulyanov has to admit that he really underestimated the appetite of the Germans too much, which is clearly to eat half of Russia in one bite! And it's still the most essential half.

Ulyanov, apparently, could not accept such conditions either. It's just that he is a little worried. What were the serious consequences of rejecting the Germans' terms. If the Germans had launched an attack on Russia, would they have been able to resist it? Will their revolution fail because of this? When the time comes, I am afraid that these people will not only lose their lives, but also have no chance of success in their ideals.

This made Ulyanov suffer from gains and losses.

People may be like this, before they succeed, they can still fight indomitable. However, after success, it becomes forward-looking, and suffers from gains and losses. Even a leader like Ulyanov will inevitably have problems in this regard.

Joseph was a little glad that the drudgery had not fallen on him. Otherwise, he would be the one who is anxious now. To be able to dig a hole for Trotsky's formidable opponent, Joseph was still very satisfied.

Although, now these members of the Supreme Council are full of righteous indignation, angrily accusing Germany of being despicable and shameless, and the lion is opening his mouth. However, Joseph knew that under the German threat, they had no choice but to compromise.

Sure enough, when everyone scolded Germany in a stern manner, Ulyanov began to ask everyone's opinions.

"Ladies and gentlemen, are we going to agree to the harsh conditions of the Germans? If you don't agree, what will be the consequences, let's analyze it carefully! Ulyanov said.

"Leader, the conditions of the Germans are too harsh for us to agree!" Kamenev immediately expressed his strong opposition.

Suddenly, several members of the committee echoed their attitudes. They also agreed that the conditions offered by the German side were too harsh and insincere. If they agree to such conditions, they will inevitably become sinners of Russia.

At this time, Joseph spoke: "Ladies and gentlemen, if we do not agree to the conditions of the Germans, what kind of actions will the Germans take, and will we be able to bear the consequences?" ”

Joseph's words, like a bomb, made everyone silent. It is clear to everyone that Joseph's words are very reasonable. After all, Germany is so powerful now, and if Germany is rejected, it means that it will be ready to bear the wrath of Germany. And whether it can withstand the wrath of Germany, no one dares to pack a ticket.

After all, the current cloth party is still too weak. The armed forces they control, albeit in large numbers. But in the face of the mighty German army, it was nothing more than a rabble. The record of the Germans on the Eastern Front, they are not unclear. At that time, Russia's most elite standing army was no match for the German army. Not to mention, they are now.

"Ladies and gentlemen, especially now that we are still facing internal and external troubles, it is all the more important to properly handle this matter. Otherwise, you have to think about the consequences! Joseph continued.

Sure enough, the expressions on many people's faces became very solemn.

"Joseph, are you advocating that we should accept the blackmail of the Germans? In that case, how is it different from betraying the country? Kamenev retorted.

"Comrade Kamenev, I am not betraying the country, I am thinking about the interests of the party. It's not easy for us to come this far! How many of our comrades were killed by Tsar Nicholas II for the success of the revolution? If we provoke Germany and cause the Germans to attack us in a big way, leading to the defeat of our revolution, we will never have a chance again. Joseph looked like he was thinking about the party and the cause.

However, Joseph's words did resonate with many people. It is undoubtedly very difficult for the Cloth Party to come to this day. Before, Tsar Nicholas II had always suppressed and persecuted them, and I don't know how many people lost their lives because of this. Didn't even Ulyanov be exiled to Siberia? I almost lost my life.

"Humph! Joseph, you are alarmist. The Germans were busy fighting war with Britain and France, two countries of imperial origin, and simply would not have the extra forces to deal with us. "Kamenev is not so easily convinced.

"It is true that the main forces of the Germans will not be used on us. But even if they only send an army group to attack us, we're afraid we won't be able to resist it, right? What's more, the Austro-Hungarian Empire is also eyeing us. The attack they launched before, though defeated. But no one can guarantee that they will not make a comeback. If the Germans attack us, Austria-Hungary will certainly join them. When the time comes, the consequences will be severe. Besides, if Germany wins the war in the future, they will surely attack us with all their might. And at that time, did we have the strength to fight them? Therefore, I think it is better to conclude a treaty with Germany as soon as possible and withdraw from the war! Joseph continued.
