The meeting between Hopkins and Joseph was very harmonious. Although the whole meeting was only two hours, the two sides had basically reached a consensus. The United States and Buenos Russia can be described as dry firewood, just a little bit.

The United States wants to let the Burussia consume the strength of the Germans, and in the end it is easy to take advantage. And Burussia also wanted to use the support of the Americans to fight Germany. If you and I are willing, they will naturally be able to reach a cooperation.

Of course, the cooperation between the two countries is a very complicated matter, and there are many details that need to be negotiated. However, the meeting between Hopkins and Joseph basically set the tone for cooperation. Next, they just need to negotiate under this theme. Comparatively speaking, it will be much easier. Moreover, the cooperation between the two countries has become the trend of the times, and no one can change it.

"Comrade Joseph, the Americans are borrowing knives to kill people, they want to use us as guns, they want to use us to consume the strength of the Germans and buy them time!" As soon as Molotov listened to Hopkins, he knew what kind of idea the Americans were playing.

Joseph nodded: "How can I not know the minds of the Americans?" However, the strength of the Germans is too strong, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for us to defeat the Germans on our own. To do this, we had to find a way to get more support. Now, the Americans have taken the initiative to come to us to cooperate with us, which is undoubtedly something that cannot be desired. The United States has great industrial power, and if we can have their support, we will undoubtedly have a much better chance of withstanding the German attack. Who made us neighbors with the Germans? If the Germans were going to start a war, we would naturally bear the brunt of it. In such a situation, we can only seek the help of the Americans, let them take advantage of a little advantage, and there is no way to do it! We were defeated by the Germans, and it would be much better for the country to perish! ”

Molotov nodded, he understood the truth too. For Burussia, this is indeed a very critical time and space. If it can get support from the Americans, it will greatly enhance the military strength of Bu and Russia. In that case, we may be able to resist the German attack in a future war.

"Comrade Molotov, the next negotiations with the Americans will be left to you with full responsibility. I hope you can get as much benefit as you can from the Americans. Whether it's loans or aid, it's what we need. In addition, planes, tanks, artillery and trucks, as well as other light and heavy weapons, are also needed. As long as the Americans can get it, we want it. This time, we will definitely seize this opportunity to extort a sum of money from the Americans. Otherwise, wouldn't we lose a lot this time? Joseph said.

As soon as the war between Buenos and Russia broke out, they would have to expand their army like crazy. With the population of Burussia, there is no shortage of soldiers. However, I am afraid that the gap in weapons and equipment will become bigger and bigger. If the Americans can support them in this regard, it will not allow their soldiers to go into battle with their bare hands. At the same time, the possibility of defeating the Germans will be greatly improved.

"Yes, Comrade Joseph, I see." Molotov nodded solemnly.

When the Americans solemnly hooked up with Russia and negotiated secretly, the Ukrainian army had already withdrawn from the territory of Russia and retreated into its own territory. This battle, although it did not occupy an inch of territory in Burussia, it caused a lot of casualties to Burussia, and it was also a rare victory for the Ukrainian army. Even better, the losses of the Ukrainian army in this battle are also very small. This not only tested the combat effectiveness of their army, but also tested the reality of the Russian army, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

After this battle, the Ukrainian army also recognized its combat effectiveness. It turns out that they are not as weak as they think. And the Russian army is not as strong as imagined. In this way, the morale and confidence of the Ukrainian army have risen a lot. Of course, this is mainly due to the fact that most of the Russian troops they faced this time were second-line troops, not elite field troops. By the time Marshal Budyonny arrived at the battlefield with his elite troops, they had already retreated. Otherwise, it will be very difficult for the Ukrainian army to retreat in its entirety.

Marshal Budyonny led the Russian army in pursuit to the border, but was forced by Joseph's order not to cross the border. And this, obviously, does not meet the expectations of Germany. Germany hopes that the Russian army will be able to cross the border and invade Ukraine. In that case, they will have an excuse to declare war on Bukistan and Russia! Therefore, Admiral Rommel began to continue planning operations in order to provoke Burussia.

On the morning of September 9, at the request of Admiral Rommel, the Ukrainian army gathered thousands of artillery pieces and launched a fierce artillery attack on the positions of the Russian army.

The Russian army was caught off guard and suffered heavy losses under heavy shelling by the Ukrainian army. Marshal Budyonny had to order the Russian army to withdraw out of the range of Ukrainian artillery in order to reduce the casualties of the troops.

After that, the Ukrainian army not only used artillery bombardment to deal with the Russian army, but even sent small elite units to attack the Russian army across the border at night, which not only caused large casualties to the Russian army, but also destroyed some important supply bases of the Russian army.

The behavior of the Ukrainian army made the Russian army very angry. Marshal Budyonny sent several telegrams to Moscow, asking to lead his troops across the border to punish the Ukrainians and let them know the cost of provoking the Russians.

However, Joseph was never able to make up his mind. He feared that if the Russian army did cross the border, it would anger the Germans and cause war. However, the increasingly unbridled provocations of the Ukrainians also made him hold back the fire in his heart.

"Damn Ukrainians, are they looking for death?" When he learned that the front-line troops had lost more than five thousand people under Ukrainian shelling and sneak attacks, Joseph could no longer sit still. Although he had never led troops into battle, he also knew that if he continued like this, it would have a great impact on the morale of the troops.

It just so happened that at this time, the secret talks between Burenos and Russia and the United States had come to an end, and the United States promised that if Germany went to war with Brahmania, they would provide Burenos and Russia with enough weapons and equipment to arm one million troops every year, in addition to thousands of tanks and thousands of combat aircraft. This made Joseph much more confident.

On the evening of September 10, Joseph convened a meeting of the marshals of the Russian army in Buruna. This time there is only one topic on the agenda, and that is to punish the Ukrainians!
