"Our cooperation with the Germans can continue. It would be best if the Germans were willing to help us rebuild the industrial system. However, we cannot fully trust the Germans either. In the process of rebuilding the industrial system, we must do as much as possible according to our wishes, so as not to be exploited by the Germans. In addition, the time should be as fast as possible. The Germans, perhaps, will not give us that much time at all! Ulyanov said.

Ulyanov added in his heart that he himself might not be able to wait that long. He is also very aware of his physical condition, and I am afraid that he will not be able to last much time. The only thing he hopes for is to be able to watch Buu become strong and have the strength to stand up to a strong enemy before he closes his eyes.

"Yes, Comrade Chairman." Several others replied. Ulyanov's words undoubtedly set the tone for this cooperation. Others have only the share of doing what they are told. If it is violated, the consequences will be very serious.

Ulyanov, like everyone else, was also a human being. Although they have become more and more deified, they are still human beings in the final analysis. Yes, everyone will have seven emotions and six desires. Especially when you get older, you will miss the power in your hands very much. Once questioned, it is undoubtedly unbearable. Therefore, no one else dared to provoke Ulyanov at this time.

Ulyanov was very satisfied with the statements of the people, he nodded, and continued: "The third agreement, the main thing is that the Germans offer to help us build a perfect transportation network. What is everyone's opinion on this? ”

"Comrade President, you will never be able to promise the Germans this. Once the transport facilities were perfected, then in the future the Germans would be able to attack our hinterland along these lines of communication. This is definitely a great threat to us. The Germans have absolutely bad intentions at this, and we must reject them! Trotsky's attitude was very resolute.

"Is it true that our army is so vulnerable that it cannot withstand the German attack?" Ulyanov's brow furrowed, as if he was a little dissatisfied.

Trotsky's face flushed all at once, and after a few seconds, he said: "Comrade President, our military strength is inherently incomparable with that of the Germans. They are the world hegemons and have the most powerful army and navy. If we want to catch up with them, it will take a long time! ”

Of course, in Trotsky's heart, he did not think that the Burussian army would one day catch up with the Germans. Therefore, he believes that the poor traffic conditions in Burussia are a kind of protection for them. Without this protection, it was easy to be defeated by the Germans.

"Your Excellency, one of the reasons why Napoleon's attacks on Russia failed miserably in history was because of the cold winter in Russia. But the main reason was the inconvenience of transportation in Russia, which completely collapsed the logistical supply of Napoleon's army. That's why Kutuzov's scorched-earth tactics worked. If one day we face the German attack, scorched earth tactics will probably be our last resort! Kamenev suggested.

Ulyanov nodded, he was not unaware of this.

"Comrade President, I think we can look at it separately. The improvement of the transportation network will certainly affect our safety. But in the same way, we can also develop our industry and economy, and make us stronger. If we can build a strong army on the basis of a strong country. Then we will be able to withstand the German attack. The transportation network will not pose a threat to us. Joseph said.

"Comrade Joseph, this is very difficult! No matter how hard we try, it is almost impossible to have an army capable of defeating the Germans. Trotsky retorted.

"How do you know if you don't try? If even you, as Chairman of the Military Council and as a member of the Army and Navy, are not confident, then how can you expect our army to defeat the Germans? Joseph scoffed.

"You! I'm seeking truth from facts! Trotsky's face turned pale.

"Well, this is the Politburo meeting, not the vegetable market! Shut up! Ulyanov said with a dark face.

Joseph and Trotsky had no choice but to shut their mouths and say no more.

"Do you have any other opinions?" Ulyanov asked.

"Comrade President, we may be able to accede to this proposal of the Germans. However, it is up to us to decide how roads and railways will be built and what standards will be used. We can follow the standards of the railways of the Imperial Russian period. In this case, the trains of the Germans would not be able to use our railways. As for the roads, they are not too difficult to build. But again, it's not difficult to destroy. Big deal, if the war doesn't go well, we'll destroy the railways and roads and deny the Germans the opportunity to use them. I think that even if we had a war with the Germans, it would have been many years away. In the previous period, we could take advantage of the convenient transportation network and develop our economy and industry! Krestinsky said.

"Comrade Krestinsky's proposal is good, in this way, both to develop our industry and economy, and at the same time to ensure our security. When our strength is strong, our safety will be truly guaranteed! Joseph said immediately.

Trotsky's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

"Comrade Krestinsky's idea is really good, so let's do it according to this method." Ulyanov said.

"Comrade Chairman, simply let Comrade Krestinsky take charge of this plan!" Joseph suggested.

Ulyanov thought for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, this plan will be handed over to you, no problem, right?" Comrade Krestinsky. ”

"There is no problem, Comrade Chairman, I promise to complete this task!" Krestinsky replied categorically.

"Stupid guy! Sold by Joseph's guy and counted the money for him! Trotsky cursed inwardly. He saw Joseph's trick. Having given this task to Krestinsky, he was able to get out of it. In the future, even if there is any problem with this plan, he can shirk the responsibility.

And Krestinsky, the idiot, stupidly took on this task, thinking it was a beauty difference. Later, he realized how powerful this was.
