Chapter 370: Compromise (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

On December 23, Christmas Eve, Ulyanov held another meeting of the Supreme Council in the Winter Palace. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 The INFO meeting was on the topic of only one topic, and that was how to deal with the military threat from the Germans.

"Comrades, according to the latest information we have received, the Germans have dispatched two corps, which have already left for the border. It seems that we will soon cross the border and attack us. If we don't agree to their terms, their army will attack us directly. Although, the two legions of the Germans were only more than 300,000 men. However, let's not forget that on the previous battlefield on the Eastern Front, the Germans wiped out nearly two million Russian troops with only less than 200,000 troops! So, once the Germans attacked, what did we use to resist? I can't resist it at all! So, we had no choice but to accept the demands of the Germans. Joseph said bitterly.

"Humph! It's winter, and even if the Germans were going to attack, they wouldn't be at this time. By doing so, they are only trying to intimidate us. Trotsky said with a blank face.

"Comrade Trotsky, there is a great possibility that the Germans are intimidating us. But what if in case the Germans this was not intimidation, but came for real? So what should we do? With our army, can we withstand the attack of the Germans? Joseph asked.

Immediately, Trotsky was silent, although he believed that the Germans were merely threatening them with force. However, he is not entirely sure either. So, in the face of Joseph's question, I don't know how to answer it at all. He couldn't say in good conscience that even if the Germans attacked, they would be able to withstand the German attack, right? That's the best German army in the world! There is no army in the world that has the confidence to withstand their attack.

"Comrade Joseph, what benefits did you receive to help the Germans speak like this?" Kamenev sneered.

"Comrade Kamenev, you are slandering! Naked slander. I am a loyal member of the Burenos Aires Party. Everything I do is for the benefit of our party. I just don't want to watch our party's hard-won success just be buried. Joseph looked noble.

Kamenev tried to refute, but was stopped by Ulyanov.

"Alright, everybody, shut up! We are now deliberating on how to solve the problem, not making a personal attack. Ulyanov said with a cold face.

The others immediately shut up and said no more. In any case, Ulyanov's position in the party is unmatched. Few would object to his words.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the current situation is indeed more dangerous. I also hope that the Germans are nothing more than a threat to us. However, no one was sure whether this was merely a threat or a precursor to an attack by the Germans. If it weren't for those opposing armies, we might have been able to take a gamble. Even if you lose the bet, it's not a big deal. But, unfortunately, we are now facing internal and external troubles. A country as powerful as Germany is much better off being our friend than our enemy. Even so, it seems that this friend will not be able to be for long. But for the sake of our party, and for the sake of our hard-won victory, we cannot afford to take risks lightly. Ulyanov said.

Many people were impressed by Ulyanov's point of view and nodded their heads again and again. However, there are still many people who don't buy it.

"Well, I've already said everything I need to say. So, let's vote now! Ulyanov said.

Such a major event is obviously not up to him alone, and it still needs to be seen by the opinions expressed by everyone. It's just that Ulyanov, as the leader, his opinion is the most important.

Next, the Supreme Council began voting. At present, there are 13 members in the Supreme Council of the Brazzaville Party. However, in the end, only five people were in favor of Ulyanov, and there were eight people who opposed it.

"Comrades, is this your choice? Are you going to watch our revolution fail? Now, because we are weak, we have to compromise. Once we are strong and no longer afraid of the Germans, we can tear up the treaty at any time. In this world, after all, it still has to rely on fists to speak. Whoever has a big fist will be able to grasp the truth. Even if we want to spread the revolution to the whole world and save the lives of hundreds of millions of people who are being exploited in poverty, we can't do it without a strong military! Ulyanov said bitterly.

The next day, the Supreme Council of the Brazzaville Party voted again, and Ulyanov remained the same old thing. It's just that this time the vote was 6 to 7, and there was still one more person who opposed it than there was anyone who agreed.

Comrade Ulyanov, completely speechless. He never imagined that with his position in the party, such a situation would occur. Shouldn't he have behaved and others immediately followed his advice? As a result, he has been persuading him for so long, why are those guys still not figuring out the situation? This made Ulyanov very angry. At the same time, there is a little more vigilance in my heart.

"It seems that I've been completely blinded by these guys all this time. Originally, I thought they would all listen to me. But I didn't expect that those guys were simply perfunctory to me. When this crisis is over, I'm going to get rid of all these guys! Ulyanov secretly made up his mind in his heart.

The vote did not pass again, which made Ulyanov feel very bad.

"Comrade Trotsky, please come to my office!" Ulyanov said.

"Yes, Leader." Trotsky nodded.

When Trotsky arrived at Ulyanov's office, he was greeted by Ulyanov, whose face was blackened.

"Comrade Trotsky, don't you agree with our compromise with the Germans either?" Ulyanov asked.

"Yes, Leader. I always thought that the Germans were nothing more than intimidating us by force! Trotsky said.

"What are we going to do if the Germans really want to do it? Is it just to watch our revolution fail? Ulyanov asked.

Trotsky was speechless.

"Comrade Trotsky, everything we do is for the victory of our revolution! It is understandable to pay some price now, all in order to be able to win later. Ulyanov began to persuade him bitterly.
