When Joseph returned to Moscow, it was already mid-January. Before leaving Berlin, he had already reported the results of his visit to Germany. However, those agreements have caused fierce debate within the party. Some people think that Germany has bad intentions in doing so. The main point is that Germany offered to help Burussia build a transportation network, which would be a preparation for the invasion of Burussia.

There are also those who can accept Germany's help, after all, Germany is currently the only country that has promised to help Burussia rebuild its industrial system. Without a sound industrial system, it is almost impossible for Burussia to develop into a strong industrial country. As for the ill-intentioned intentions of the Germans, there is no need to worry about it at all when the strength of the Burussians develops. They will have enough strength to stand against Germany.

Although there have been several discussions at the top of the party, there has been no agreement on this issue either.

Ulyanov decided to put the proposal on hold for the time being, waiting until Joseph returned to Moscow to hold a meeting of the Politburo to discuss it.

When Joseph returned to Moscow, he was greeted by Tsicherin outside the city. Joseph of this time and space has one more title of People's Commissar of Foreign Affairs than another time and space. And Chicherin, on the other hand, was his deputy. In another time and place, it was Trotsky who became the People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs.

The main reason for Joseph's ability to hold this position was his relationship with Germany. Today, Germany is the world hegemon. Being able to appoint a person who knows Germany well and maintains contacts with the German top leadership as People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs is very helpful for Buzzi-Russia's foreign policy.

"Comrade Joseph, it's been a hard journey. Comrade Ulyanov sent me to meet you. Your trip to Germany has undoubtedly yielded tremendous results. Comrade Ulyanov is very satisfied with this. Zicherin said.

"Comrade Chicherin, how can I hear that there are people in the party who are very dissatisfied with this? I almost didn't directly say that I had betrayed the interests of the party and the state. "Joseph also has his own news channels. Although he is no longer in Moscow, he is not ignorant of what is happening in Moscow.

The people who openly accused Joseph of betraying the interests of the party and Russia were none other than those under Trotsky, and it is undoubtedly clear from this that the competition for succession seems to have entered a white heat.

Tsicherin's face was a little unnatural: "Comrade Joseph, at least Comrade Ulyanov is very recognizant of your success this time. ”

Joseph nodded, indeed, now Ulyanov's influence in the party has almost been deified. This left him with little to think about anything else. As long as Ulyanov is satisfied with him, the attitude of other people does not matter at all.

"Comrade Joseph, Comrade Ulyanov asked you to go to the Kremlin in the afternoon to see him!" Zicherin said.

"Okay, I got it!" Joseph nodded.

Joseph knew that Ulyanov was concerned about the German mission this time, and at the same time, he also wanted to ask for his opinion. There is no doubt that if Ulyanov cannot be convinced, then the credit of his mission will be greatly reduced. This was not what Joseph had hoped for. So, he began to think carefully about how to convince Ulyanov.

When Joseph arrived in the Kremlin that afternoon, Ulyanov was taking a nap. As he grew older, and his early years of exile in Siberia, Ulyanov's health became worse and worse. It was precisely because of this that the contradiction between Joseph and Trotsky intensified. Both wanted to be established as successors before Ulyanov's death. In this way, you will be able to become the top leader of this country.

Joseph stopped Ulyanov's secretary from waking him up, and waited quietly.

After a while, Ulyanov opened his eyes, and when he saw Joseph waiting, he said with some anger: "Comrade Joseph, why don't you wake me up, how precious our time is!" You still have a mess in your hands, and it's really undeserved to waste so much time! ”

"Comrade President, you are so tired. For the sake of the country, for the sake of the party, you should also take more rest. As for the wasted time, I will work overtime to make up for it. Joseph said.

"Well, Comrade Joseph, don't make an example!" Ulyanov said. Although he appeared to be a little angry, in fact, he was very satisfied with Joseph's actions.

Joseph was stronger than Trotsky in these respects. He was always able to pass some small things and make Ulyanov look at him differently.

When the secretary exited and the two of them were the only ones left in the office, the conversation got to business.

"Comrade Joseph, how did you feel about your trip to Germany?" Ulyanov asked.

"Comrade President, the deepest impression I have left on this trip to Germany is that Germany is too strong! Really, Germany is just too strong! They deserve to be the number one power in the world! Not only do they have the most powerful army in the world, but they also have the most powerful navy in the world. Other countries simply can't compare with them. Joseph said.

Ulyanov's expression was solemn, and he knew that since Joseph said so, it must not be exaggerated. Germany's military strength is undoubtedly a great threat to other countries. Similarly, Burussia is among the threatened countries. The threat to Burussia is even greater. After all, if Germany wants to unify the whole of Europe, it is afraid that Burussia will be the first country to be attacked by Germany.

"If Germany attack us, will we be able to hold them off?" Ulyanov asked.

"Comrade President, I don't understand military affairs. However, I can tell you with certainty that with the strength of our army, it is almost impossible to resist the German attack! Joseph said.

After hearing this, Ulyanov was silent for a long time. Although, in the process of seizing Russian rule, the support of Germany was of great help to them. However, Ulyanov has always had a sense of crisis. He knew very well that after Germany became stronger, the security of Burussia and Russia would be threatened. However, Germany's help could not be refused. Otherwise, their revolution would not have succeeded so easily.

And now it is time for Burnon-Russian to make every effort to ensure national security. 10
