After the meeting, Pasanen from the Finnish Social Democratic Party began by saying: "At this meeting, we, the Finnish Social Democratic Party, will not join the Communist Party of the Russian Union, and the Kingdom of Finland is an independent sovereign state now, in the past, and in the future. That is why we will be present with our comrades from the German Social Democratic Labour Party. ā€

Seeing this, although he was very dissatisfied with the Finnish delegates' actions, in order to continue the meeting, he said: "Comrades, we are a democratic party, and since the comrades of the Finnish Social Democratic Party have their own ideas and ideas, we cannot force them, but we sincerely welcome the comrades of the Finnish Social Democratic Party to come and observe the hearing. ā€

Lenin looked at Pasanen and Staf with dissatisfaction, and then said: "I agree with Witte that, in this case, we must continue to discuss some matters concerning the formation of our Party, and I would also like to ask the representatives of the Fraternal Party of Germany and Finland to give me some advice and suggestions. ā€

"I think that since the comrades of the Brothers of Finland have objections, and since we are a coalition party, I think that the Polish-Lithuanian Social Democratic Labour Party should also discuss whether or not to join the coalition party, and I propose to adjourn the meeting for the time being and resume it in the afternoon!" As soon as Lenin finished speaking, Dudka from Poland said that Dzerzhinsky and Luxemburg were surprised, but they could not show their dissatisfaction in the meeting, so they had to fall silent.

Seeing this, Plekhanov had no choice but to say: "In that case, this morning's meeting is suspended, and I invite the Polish-Lithuanian comrades to consult in detail and give a satisfactory answer to the preparatory conference." ā€

Less than half an hour into the meeting, the meeting ended so strangely. After watching the representatives of the other cities leave, Lenin said angrily: "Why didn't you put forward any opinions before the meeting? Why do you have to say it at the beginning of the meeting? What are their intentions? ā€

"Yes, if they have an opinion, they can say it at the coordination meeting in Petersburg, and it is up to them to choose whether they come or not, and now that they are here, it is like this, is it to come to the alliance or to break up the gang?" Krupskaya said dissatisfied.

Witt sat down at the conference table and took a puff of cigarette, and then said: "I hope everyone will be rational about this matter, we are here to seek common ground, not to quarrel, our purpose is to unite all the forces that can be united." Well, let's go back and think about it, and communicate more with the other delegates, most of them still think the same way as us. ā€

Lenin and the others also left the table after listening to Werther's words, and Werther walked out of the room alone to a gazebo in the backyard, smoking a cigarette depressedly, looking up at the clouds wandering in the sky, and his thoughts fluttered. If this matter is not handled well, then even if the Communist Party of the Russian Union is formed, it will not be able to achieve the synchronization of the revolution in all of Russia, and I have to say that these Finnish guys are really a bunch of-stirring sticks. But Witte knew that this country brought humiliation to the Red Empire after its establishment.

On November 30, 1939, the Soviet Union invaded Finland and originally planned to occupy all of Finland in one month, but until March 1940, the Soviet army still struggled to fight, and later seized 10% of Finland's territory through diplomatic channels, which was very different from the pre-war plan. In the Soviet-Finnish War, the Soviet army lost more than 48,000 killed and more than 158,000 wounded. This battle completely exposed the shortcomings of the Soviet army's low command efficiency and weak will to fight, and also made Germany understand the real situation of the Soviet Union, so that it won a major victory in the early stage of the Soviet-German war.

Although a large part of the reason for the Soviet-Finnish war was that Stalin's "Great Purge" shook the foundation of the Soviet army and affected the morale of the Soviet army, it has to be said that an "enemy country" very close to the Russian mainland and even the capital, and an "enemy country" that holds the main route to the sea, is very undesirable in terms of homeland security. In the original history, Finland was established independently from Russia after the October Revolution, but this time Werther would never let this happen, so if Finland did not join the League this time, then once the revolution was won, Werther would stop Finland from becoming independent at all costs.

"Comrade Dudeka, when we met in Warsaw, most of the delegates were in favor of joining the Communist Party of the Russian Union and working together for our ideals. Why don't you make your own decision without consulting with us? Dzerzhinsky shouted angrily in Dudeka's room.

Dudeka said lightly: "This is not my opinion alone, this is the decision of the latest meeting of the party. Comrade Dzerzhinsky and Comrade Luxembourg, you must know that you are all Poles, and what you want to represent is first and foremost the interests of Poland. ā€

Luxembourg retorted: "Narrow-minded! What we want to achieve is that the proletarians of the world stand up and take charge of their own affairs, while you still make decisions for your own interests. This afternoon we are going to support the Petersburg Marxist Association in any case, we are going to join it, we are going to achieve the integration of the Marxists of Eastern Europe. ā€

"Comrade Luxembourg, you must know that joining this coalition party will inevitably lose the autonomy that we now have, and we will become vassals of this coalition party, and this coalition party is a bunch of Russians who call the shots, not you, nor us Poles!" Dudeka snapped.
