Joseph and his party got on the train, left Berlin satisfied, and returned to Moscow. Although he was not able to meet with Qin Tian on this trip, he was very satisfied with the results achieved.

The German government accepted the trade request of the Russian Cloth Party in its entirety. However, half of the payment they demanded had to be replaced with grain. The rest is replaced by timber and mineral resources.

Although Russia was now very short of food, Joseph did not see anything wrong with this request. After all, Germany has always been short of food, so it is natural to ask for as much food as possible. As for whether this will have any bad effects on Russia, Joseph does not care. Although he knew that such a thing might make many people starve to death, he couldn't care so much. His task was to get Germany to agree to trade with Russia. Now, his mission has been accomplished. As for the rest, it was not for him to consider.

Joseph didn't know how crazy the cloth party would be in order to get more machinery and equipment. They brutally snatched the last grain from the peasants, whether they lived or died. Even if the peasants were starved to death, they didn't care. In their opinion, as long as the country's industry can be redeveloped, what is there for the death of some lowly peasants?

"Your Majesty, the Russians have really agreed to our terms. Don't they know that this will starve a lot of people? The Prime Minister looked surprised.

"The leaders of the Cloth Party don't care about the lives of ordinary Russians. Anyway, the population of Russia is too large, and if you starve to death, in the future, when the empire fights with them, you will face fewer Russian* troops. This is very beneficial for us! Qin Tian said.

Of course, Qin Tian knew how much of a threat it would pose to Germany if Russian industry was developed. If possible, he certainly hoped to blockade Russia, so that Russian industry could not recover and develop. In this case, it will be very easy for Germany to defeat Russia in the future. But Qin Tian knew that even if Germany did not sell machinery and equipment to Russia, they would be able to obtain those machinery and equipment from other places. For example, the United States on the other side of the ocean must be very happy to make Russia strong again. In this way, Germany's energy will be firmly contained on the European continent and will not pose the greatest threat to the United States.

So, instead of letting the Americans trade with the Russians, make a lot of profits from Russia. Then it is better to let Germany do the business. It also enabled Germany to make enough profit from it. What's more, they can also secretly calculate the Russians and make the Russians pay a greater price for this. In this case, it is in the best interest of Germany.

Prime Minister Bilo nodded, although it seemed a little too despicable to calculate the Russians in this way. But what is it to be mean, for the sake of the Empire? As long as the empire can grow stronger, it will be enough.

"By the way, let the Ministry of Foreign Affairs contact the Russians, we are more than happy to help the Russians develop their industry and economy. In this regard, our two countries can have in-depth exchanges and cooperation! Qin Tian continued.

"Your Majesty, is this to make Russia stronger?" Prime Bilo felt that his head was a little insufficient. In the future, Russia will definitely become the enemy of the empire, and if Russia becomes stronger, it is obviously asking for trouble for itself! At that time, if Russia is to be defeated, the empire will have to pay a greater price, and more young men will die on the battlefield.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, I know what you're worried about. Rest assured, I'm doing this entirely for the sake of calculating the Russians. The transportation conditions in Russia are so bad that if we want to destroy Russia, those muddy roads will become our worst enemy. So, when we help the Russians to develop industry and economy, we also help the Russians to develop transportation. Help the Russians plan a large number of railways and roads. Of course, this can make Russia develop faster and stronger. However, once the war broke out, those railways and roads would allow the Imperial army to advance quickly, and if they were lucky, even as far as Moscow. Qin Tian continued.

Prime Minister Bi Luo's mouth opened wide, and he seemed to be a little incredulous. After all, that's an exaggeration. The Russians are not stupid, how could they possibly agree? But he also knew that it would be very beneficial for the Empire. If this plan of the Empire is realized, the Empire may be able to completely defeat Russia and destroy them.

"Your Majesty, I will ask the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to do its best to do this. Let's hope the Russians will agree to cooperate with us! Prime Minister Billo said.

Qin Tian nodded.

After Bilo left, Qin Tian was also thinking about whether this plan could be successful.

Napoleon's attack on Russia failed not so much because of the Russians, but because of the cold winter and poor logistical supplies. Russia's territory is so vast that it gives them a jaw-dropping depth. Coupled with poor transportation facilities, this will make all the armies attacking Russia go crazy with logistics.

Isn't it the same with the German army in another time and space? The Führer's multi-million army attacked Russia with great success in the initial period, destroying a large number of the living forces of the Russian army. However, Russia's poor transportation and huge depth made it impossible to fill it with millions of troops. In the end, the Russians not only held the capital, but also relied on a large number of troops to start a counterattack, leaving the German army defeated.

Qin Tian became the emperor of the empire, and he knew that there would be a war between the empire and the Russians sooner or later. The Russian Cloth Party wanted to liberate the whole world, and Germany, the world hegemon and the boss of the capitalist world, became the object that they had to defeat. And Qin Tian was unwilling to allow Germany to exist a country that could threaten Germany's security. Therefore, he hoped to be able to defeat Russia in one fell swoop in the war. If you do this, Germany's position will be strengthened and the threat will be eliminated.

"Hopefully, God willing, the Russians will agree to develop transport vigorously! At that time, Germany's powerful armored forces will be able to fight all the way along the roads and railways to Moscow and other large Russian cities. Well, this battle will be much easier to fight! Qin Tian muttered.
