Chapter 82: Signs of Imminence

Thank you for the night, the bleak yca, the fish in a trance, the skeleton that tells history, and the reward of Yuan Shadi! Thank you also to every brother who voted for the recommendation, then...... Do you want to get some more recommended tickets?

…………………………

It's too depressed......

Richie sat in a car and watched the long queue of Berlin citizens waiting to receive food rations.

Most of the people in the queue were old and young and women, and most of them would carry baskets in their hands, which in fact were almost useless, and they could only receive a certain amount of black bread according to the number of people in their families, but they did not even think about cream, vegetables, and meat.

The Second German Reich looted a large amount of machinery and money from France, but neither of these things could be turned directly into physical objects. The countries that still traded with the Second German Reich were not blocked by the sea, and none of them were known for their abundance of agricultural resources. As a result, some of the minerals from the industry of the Second German Reich could be purchased, but the shortage of food remained unsolved.

Tsarist Russia was going to an end, not only because the gray cattle of Tsarist Russia were constantly suffering defeats at the front, but also because the domestic necessities were scarce to a certain extent.

Tsarist Russia entered into rationing earlier than the Second German Empire, but the lack of food in Tsarist Russia was not due to blockade, but because a large number of agricultural labor in Tsarist Russia became gray livestock, or because it was concentrated in the military industry, resulting in a serious shortage of labor needed for agricultural production.

In addition, despite the shortage of food at home, Tsarist Russia still used agricultural products to exchange arms with foreign countries in order to maintain their supply lines of ordnance and materials on several fronts.

"There is an almost complete truce." Maximilian. Feng. Weix was now a captain in the General Staff Headquarters, and he was promoted. He said: "A group of 'Socialists' is constantly campaigning, and they will soon overthrow the Romanov dynasty. ”

"Yes, our war with the Romanov dynasty will soon be over." Li Qi's eyes did not leave the people in the long line, and changed the topic: "So what is the idea of the staff headquarters?" ”

A captain staff officer at the General Staff Headquarters was at best a small errand runner, Maximilien. Feng. Where does Weix know so much? Shaking his head, he said in an uncertain tone: "Most are optimistic that we will achieve a complete victory on the Eastern Front and grab enough benefits." ”

Li Qi nodded, and he took a look from Hans. Feng. Seckert heard that some Socialist Marxists had begun to make contact with the German side to negotiate some agreements between Russia and Germany after the fall of the Romanov dynasty, including some treaties.

The Kaiser was rejoicing in the chaos of Tsarist Russia, and almost all of Germany's top brass was waiting for the Romanov dynasty to collapse and then pounce on it and bite it. It was precisely because of this that they took a more contemptuous attitude towards the Socialists, and drew up a treaty that could only be described as harsh.

In fact, the conditions put forward by Germany to the Socialists seemed harsh, but someone had already agreed to them, and the person who agreed was called Vladimir. Ilyich. Ulyanov. Not familiar? Then it must be known if you say a name, he also has a name called Lenin.

Before Lenin returned to Russia, he had reached a series of agreements with the government of the Second German Reich, including a rough draft of the Brest Treaty. Once this contract is realized, it will certainly be incredibly interesting for Europe.

What did the Second German Reich demand from the Socialists who were gradually coming to power? To put it simply, not only did the new Russian government lose nearly a million square kilometers of land and nearly 50 million inhabitants, but also 90 per cent of the country's coal mining, 73 per cent of iron ore, 54 per cent of industry and 33 per cent of the railways in the occupied territories.

The Socialists rightly felt that the demands of the Second German Reich were too demanding, and that they would abandon their illusions in the Second Reich and switch to the Entente. But the Entente group was definitely not a good bird, and almost waiting to be pushed into the gallows, the Socialists would have the idea of "how there is no regret medicine in the world", and if they could do it again, they would not hesitate to agree to the conditions proposed by the Second German Reich.

The Russian traitor who is currently pinned high hopes by the Kaiser...... That is, the great Lenin, who actually did not have much power in Russia. When he set foot on Russian soil, the Socialists accused him of being a traitor and a spy sent by Germany. The masses of society did not support Lenin either, in short, the Bolshevik Party was a minority in Russia and had no armed forces of its own.

It is such a minority of the minority, still standing firm in the midst of abuse, they belong to the unbeatable Xiaoqiang, stubbornly promoting their own ideas.

The Kaiser may have had some high hopes for Lenin, but in the eyes of many, the Kaiser sent Lenin back to Russia out of the consideration that "it would be good for him to go back and be a-stirring stick".

The people in the queue in front of them began to make noise, because before most people received rations, the goods in the store were gone!

Maximilian. Feng. Seeing that Richie had been watching, and seeing that there was a commotion, Wicks suddenly said with a worried expression: "I saw in that scene the shadow of the collapse of Russia in some newspapers. ”

"We can't find exporters of agricultural products...... "Richie knows a lot of news, he shakes his head: "There is a huge gap in our own agricultural products, but ...... Also to support Austria-Hungary. ”

Maximilian. Feng. Weckers is also shaking his head, as long as he is a German, he will shake his head when he mentions Austria-Hungary now, and that dualist country can be described as a compliment.

Austria-Hungary was huge, but its size did not have any powerful effect at all, the army performed poorly on the battlefield, and the contradictions in the country showed no signs of abating in times of war. Austro-Hungarian industry was concentrated in the north, and agriculture in the rest of the region was fine, but strange chaos broke out outside of Austria and Hungary, and as a result, the advantage of agriculture was lost.

With Richie starting his vehicle, he also needs to head to an airport outside Berlin, where he will check out one of the Junkers' latest bombers.

Berlin is the capital of Germany, and traces of history can be seen everywhere in the buildings. It is a city with a rich history, but it does not seem to have turned into a sea of joy because the war seems to be going well, and most of the people walking on the road are in a hurry, and if you look closely, you can see the sadness on their faces.

Maximilian. Feng. Wilks is on vacation today, and Richie saw him on the road, and when he saw that there was nothing wrong, he invited him to come over.

The car soon drove near the Brandenburg Gate, and the two looked at the huge building that was getting closer and closer, and looked at the goddess of victory at the top. They retracted their gazes and glanced at each other as if they had made an appointment, probably thinking of the scenes they saw on the street today, and they could inexplicably see a kind of worry in each other's eyes.
