Chapter 863: Candy Smeared with Poison (Sixth Update)
"Germany was able to defeat Britain and France and become the victor in the world war. Their strength is naturally beyond doubt. However, if they want to attack us, then we will have to resist desperately. We will let the Germans know that they will pay a very heavy price if they want to destroy us. In this case, it may make the Germans fall into the trap. After all, we are not the only enemies of Germany! Ulyanov said.
Germany's strength dominates the world. However, this poses a serious threat to other countries. It is foreseeable that other countries will inevitably oppose Germany as well. For example, the United States, on the other side of the ocean, is eyeing Germany.
"Yes, Comrade President. However, I think even so, we have to do everything we can to strengthen ourselves. Only in this way will we not be left without the power to resist when Germany attacks us. Joseph said.
Ulyanov nodded, strengthening the strength of Burussia, of course he agreed. Otherwise, with the strength of Burussia, how can it confront Germany?
"Comrade Joseph, I am generally satisfied with the agreement you have reached with Germany this time. For example, let the Germans help us rebuild the industrial system. This is undoubtedly an important way for us to enhance our strength! Ulyanov said.
"Yes, Your Excellency. During the period of Imperial Russia, the industry of Russia was not developed. Because of the impact of the war, our industry was almost devastated. If we want to restore the industry and develop it more strongly without the support of external forces, it will be very difficult. And it will take a long time. Therefore, the help of the Germans is undoubtedly very important to us. In this way, we can greatly reduce the amount of time we need to consume. This gives us plenty of time to arm us stronger. Perhaps, when we have a strong industry and a strong army, the Germans will not dare to attack us. After all, if we attack us and we will lose them a lot, I think the Germans will definitely think about it. The German emperor was not a fool. Joseph said.
"Yes. But would the Germans be so kind to help us build an industrial system? I always felt that there was some conspiracy in this. Ulyanov's brows furrowed tightly.
"Comrade President, of course the Germans will not be so kind. They help us rebuild the industrial system, all to make money. We had to spend money to buy those factories and machinery. Other intrigues, I don't think that's a problem. After all, those factories are on our territory. If something is wrong, it is entirely possible to send troops to take over these factories, and the Germans have nothing to do with us. Joseph said.
Ulyanov thought for a moment, then nodded. Indeed, as long as the factory is on the territory of Burussia, there is no fear of any scheming of the Germans. After all, although Germany is strong, they undoubtedly have a home advantage on the territory of Burussia. Unless the two sides tear their faces apart and war breaks out. In that case, Burussia may not be an opponent.
But if that were the case, then the Germans would not want to get the money to build these factories.
"It seems that the Germans are helping us to rebuild the industrial system, and there is no threat to us anymore. As long as we send someone to keep an eye on it, there should be no problem. Ulyanov said.
Although, Ulyanov's instincts still told him that there must be some trap in this. However, the rebuilding of the industrial system is undoubtedly a great temptation for them. For this candy smeared with poison, they simply couldn't refuse.
Joseph breathed a sigh of relief after listening to Ulyanov's words. If Ulyanov nodded, then there should be no problem with the passage of this article.
"However, the Germans offered to help us build a transport network, which is undoubtedly a threat to us. Did we work so hard to repair the railways and roads, and then wait for the Germans to invade us with the help of these railways and roads? The Germans must have imagined us too stupid! Ulyanov sneered.
After listening to Ulyanov's words, Joseph knew that he was not very satisfied with this article.
Joseph thought for a moment, and then said: "Comrade President, this request of the Germans is indeed ill-intentioned. However, we have to admit that good transportation conditions can play a very good role in promoting the development of economy and industry. Among the world's economically developed and industrially developed powers, none of the country's transportation facilities are bad. However, we had to guard against the threat that the Germans would use these transport facilities to invade us in the future. But in the same way, when the transportation facilities are in good condition, we can also use these transportation facilities to quickly mobilize troops. If the Germans attack us, we can quickly mobilize our troops to the border and keep the war off the border! ”
Keeping the flames of war off the borders of the country is a big temptation for Ulyanov. Since the outbreak of the world war, Russia has experienced a lot of wars. If they can truly resist the flames of war outside the borders of the country, this will undoubtedly ensure that their construction achievements will not be destroyed by the war.
But again, when he thought of Germany's military might, he was skeptical that the Russian army could withstand the German attack on the border. After all, the Germans were too strong. In comparison, the strength of the Russian army is too weak.
"Will our army be able to withstand the German attack by then?" Ulyanov asked.
Joseph was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Comrade President, I don't know about this. ”
On this issue, Joseph, of course, could not be stupid enough to pack up the ticket. In that case, it will definitely arouse Ulyanov's suspicions. Once the war really broke out, and the Russian army was not able to withstand the German attack, then he would have to bear the corresponding responsibility. Joseph wasn't stupid, he wouldn't do anything like that.
Ulyanov thought about it and had to say that he would submit the issue to a meeting of the Politburo for discussion. After all, he only knew that Joseph was not a military officer, and even if he knew something about military affairs, he only knew a little about it. It was very good that Joseph was able to successfully go to Germany and bring back so many agreements this time. 10
