Moscow, Kremlin. It was originally the Tsar's palace, but even though the capital of Russia was moved from Moscow to St. Petersburg, Moscow's status as the capital did not diminish much.

After overthrowing the Tsar, the Cloth Party set the capital in Moscow. The main reason was that St. Petersburg was too close to the Germans.

The three Baltic states had already been ceded to the Germans, and the Germans would be able to reach St. Petersburg in just a few days if they sent troops from Estonia. Finland would also form an independent state with the support of the Germans. Fools can guess that Finland after independence was also controlled by the Germans. In this case, the Germans could also launch an offensive from Finland to St. Petersburg. Therefore, if the capital remained in St. Petersburg, it would put the entire Russian Cloth Party in crisis.

After the signing of the Treaty of Brest, the Brest Party finally withdrew from the war and was able to devote itself wholeheartedly to the White Army loyal to the Romanov dynasty. After more than half a year of fighting, they have basically stabilized the situation and began to have an overwhelming advantage.

However, Ulyanov, as chairman of the Council of People's Commissars, did not have the slightest joy at the moment. In his office, senior leaders of the party and senior commanders of the army gathered.

"Ladies and gentlemen, our battle against the White Army is coming to an end. Kolchak and Dönitz, neither of them could hold out for long. Soon, our red flag will be planted throughout Russia. Ulyanov said.

The leaders of the party and the generals of the army present all showed joy on their faces. Their revolution can only be regarded as a victory after the complete defeat of the White Army. Otherwise, there is a possibility that the White Army will counterattack at any time. When the revolution is victorious, these hard-working leaders will not have to go through such hardships. At least, the treatment was much better than it is now.

"However, our party and country are still in crisis. In our West, a huge empire is rising. They are about to become the hegemon of all of Europe, and if they are to attack us, will our army be able to withstand their attack? Ulyanov asked.

Suddenly, the faces of the generals suddenly turned pale. As generals, they naturally know the combat effectiveness of the army they lead. When bullying the demoralized White Army, it is certainly invincible. However, if they want to confront the German Army, which is the most powerful in the world, it will undoubtedly be too difficult for them. Or even use them to send them to death at all.

"Comrade President, we have a close relationship with Germany and have signed a peace treaty, so the Germans should not tear up the treaty and launch an attack on us, right?" Joseph asked stiffly. After all, he had always been in charge of liaison with the Germans in the Russian Party. He also had a close relationship with the German side. Once Germany and the Cloth Party fall out, he will definitely bear the brunt of the suppression.

"Humph! Comrade Joseph. Don't put too much faith in the Germans, after all, Germany is also one of the most powerful imperial notices in the world. If there are enough benefits, I can guarantee that the Germans will betray us," Ulyanov said with great certainty.

"Comrade President, what should we do?" Krestinsky, a member of the Organizing Bureau, was a little worried.

After all, the German Empire was too powerful compared to Russia, which was controlled by the Cloth Party. If the German Empire were to make a move against Russia, they would certainly not be able to stop it.

"The Germans are not going to do anything to us yet. They had just beaten the French. The peace treaties with France and Italy have just ended. Next, they had to launch an attack on the British. In addition, the Germans suffered a lot of losses in this war. Therefore, the Germans have no possibility of attacking us for the time being. Trotsky said.

"Comrade Trotsky, what do you think of Germany?" Ulyanov asked.

"Comrade President, there is no doubt that Germany is on the verge of winning this world war and becoming the world hegemon. Under such circumstances, Russia should not fall out with Germany, still less should it take the initiative to provoke Germany, lest they take advantage of the problem to play a role. Although, we have already signed a peace treaty with the Germans. But the appetite of the Germans is growing. One day, the Germans will go to war against us. Trotsky said

"Your Excellency, I propose that as soon as the war with the White Army is over, find ways to strengthen relations with the Germans. Get some advanced equipment and machines from the Germans. Only with the development of industry will we be able to produce advanced and powerful weapons and equipment, and only then will we have the strength to resist the threat posed to us by the Germans. Trotsky continued.

Ulyanov nodded, Russia's industry was already underdeveloped, which made their army unable to even have a rifle per person in the war, not to mention other advanced weapons and equipment. In the face of an army armed to the teeth, courage and conviction alone are clearly not enough. Trotsky, as the founder and leader of the Cloth Party's army, saw this problem profoundly.

"Not only can we buy the advanced machinery we need from the Germans, but we can also buy them from other places, such as Austria-Hungary or the United States. Especially in the United States, they only recognize money and don't care about anything else. So, as long as we have money, we are able to buy what we want. Joseph also said.

"Yes, the Germans are too strong to pose a serious threat not only to us, but also to the United States across the ocean. If we could unite with the Americans and deal with the Germans, we would be in a much better position. Kamenev also said.

Although the United States is also a capitalist country, and even sent troops to attack Russia together with Japan, there are no permanent friends in this world, only permanent interests. In the presence of a common enemy, even the enemy who killed his father can drink and talk, let alone two countries. Country-to-state exchanges are more realistic.

"All right, everybody. I know everyone's opinions. I'll think about it and then I'll tell you what I decided! Ulyanov said.

Now Ulyanov has become more powerful, and he is not at all in the minority of the Brest Party as he was when he signed the "Brest Treaty".
