At the meeting of the Supreme Council of the Russian Party, no resolution was reached. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoSome people supported peace with Germany, and at the same time some people supported the rejection of Germany's demands, and the whole conference was hyped up. Eventually, Ulyanov left the conference room with a gloomy face, and this ended the meeting.
For several days, the Russian Party was arguing about what to do, and time passed slowly.
Three days later, the Russian party had not given an accurate answer to the German side. German Foreign Minister von ? Kidren? Vahit, who immediately left Brest, led the German delegation back to Germany, despite Trotsky's retention.
As soon as the German delegation left, this suddenly made the party even more anxious. Everyone knew that after the negotiations broke down, they would have to face a military threat from Germany.
Feng? Kidren? After Vasit returned to Berlin, he immediately met with Qin Tian. Prime Minister Bernhardt? Feng? Billo, also together.
"Your Highness, isn't our asking price too high? The Russians were scared. "Feng? Kidren? Vahit said.
"Yes! Your Highness. If the Russians refuse to accede to our terms, then are we really going to use force against them? "Bernhardt? Feng? Birlo was also a little worried.
After all, they are all well aware. Now Germany's main efforts will be on the Western Front. On the Eastern Front, only a small number of troops will remain.
"Of course, we can't use force against them. However, it is still okay to intimidate them. Since the Russians are slow to make a decision, let's help them! I will ask the 8th and 9th Legions to put on a big attack. When the time comes, I think the Russians will make a choice. Qin Tian looked like he was winning.
It's just that he's just doing it. In fact, he didn't know if the Cloth Party would succumb as easily as another plane. After all, there are many things in this plane that have changed. The cloth party in this time and space is also more powerful than the cloth party in another time and space.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, otherwise, let's lower our requirements a little!" Feng? Kidren? Vahit said. If you don't get anything because the asking price is too high, then it's a little too unworthy.
"No, you don't! We are still cooperating with the Russian Party. However, the honeymoon period will soon be over. When the time comes, we will be enemies. Therefore, the more ruthlessly you slaughter them at this time, the greatest possible weakening of them. This will give us an advantageous position in future confrontations. Qin Tian said.
"Vahit, just do it according to the advice of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! I also believe that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will succeed. "Bernhardt? Feng? Billo said.
"Alright then!" Feng? Kidren? Vasit nodded, and said no more.
"Your Excellency the Foreign Minister, you must not be in a hurry in the negotiations with the Russian Party. The Russians are now not seeing the coffin and not shedding tears. When our army begins to march on them, they will compromise. Qin Tian said.
"I hope so!" Feng? Kidren? Vahit said.
Subsequently, Qin Tian personally gave orders to the 8th and 9th Army Corps, asking them to go to the border, posing as if they were going to march on Russia, and intimidating Russia by force.
"This time, I want to see if those Russians still have the courage to resist!" A hint of coldness flashed in Qin Tian's eyes.
After receiving Qin Tian's order, the 8th and 9th Army Corps of the German Army, despite the fact that it was still winter, immediately left the garrison and headed for the border. Although, after the 8th Army Corps went through a battle to annihilate the Southwestern Front of the Russian Army, the losses were not small. But upon returning to East Prussia, it was replenished immediately. The mobilization of Germany has been completed, and the second stage of mobilization has already begun, which will allow them to be short of soldiers in a short time. Of course, if the war drags on too long, the disadvantage of Germany's lack of troops will inevitably appear.
The 9th Corps, albeit a newly formed corps. However, ten infantry divisions plus one armored division still had a total of more than 180,000 people. The configuration of various weapons and equipment is also exactly the same as that of the 8th Army. The only thing they lacked was battlefield experience. As long as they have experienced the battlefield test of blood and fire, their combat effectiveness can be improved and they will become a real elite force. Qin Tian proposed that Admiral Hindenburg be the commander of the 9th Army Corps, precisely because he valued Admiral Hindenburg's talent. He was confident that Admiral Hindenburg would be able to train the 9th Army Corps into a formidable force, a force loyal to him.
The two elite regiments of the German army drove to the border and launched an attack formation, the cannon with a hideous muzzle, and the black tanks, all represented a powerful attack. And this also frightened the leaders of the Russian Cloth Party.
"What to do? What do we do now? The two elite regiments of the Germans have already left for the border. If they attack, what are we going to do? How can it be resisted? One regiment of the Germans almost wiped out two million Russian troops. The two legions can easily destroy us if they join forces! Joseph looked panicked.
Ulyanov's face was also very ugly. The Germans now had a clear attitude, as if they were going to attack them. Although, Ulyanov believes, perhaps the Germans are intimidating them. However, he did not dare to take this risk. Otherwise, if the Germans come for real, the consequences will be very serious.
Ulyanov knew that if the Germans really attacked, even if they only invested two corps, they could wipe out all the troops they now controlled. Not to mention the fact that there were also large numbers of troops loyal to Tsar Nicholas II, ready to launch an offensive against them. At that time, the situation of the Russian party will be very critical. If you don't get it right, you'll be destroyed.
"Comrade Joseph, we can't take any chances. At least at this stage, we can't tear our faces with the Germans yet. So, the Germans' demands, after some bargaining, agree to them! Ulyanov said.
Between betraying the country and keeping himself, Ulyanov chose the latter.
"Yes, Leader, I see. However, both Comrade Kamenev and Comrade Trotsky strongly objected. If their attitude does not change, it will be difficult for us to agree. Joseph was a little worried.
"Try to figure it out! They are not confused, but we cannot allow them to fail our revolution! A hint of determination flashed in Ulyanov's eyes.
