Standing in front of the Empire State Building, looking up at the tallest building in the world, although I don't know how many times I've been here, but Ray? Kopa still felt a deep shock in his heart, and at the same time felt his own insignificance.

Even to this day, Ray? Kopa couldn't imagine how the Chinese had built such a magnificent building...

There was a time when Ray? Kopa even thought he was dreaming, or maybe it was just a trick by the Chinese. However, when he climbed to the top of the Empire State Building through the elevator, he deeply realized that everything in front of him was real.

With him, there are also Zhu Erdian and others who were invited to come, as well as well-known people from all walks of life...

Naturally, after witnessing the success of the Empire State Building, Ray? Kopa's attitude towards Yan Shao has also undergone some changes, some deep changes...

Past Ray? Kopa has always enjoyed dealing with Yan Shao, because he has gained a lot of benefits from his contact with Yan Shao. Whether it's in status or prestige.

But as China grows stronger and stronger, Lei? Copa's attitude has gradually changed.

In the end, all he needs is a role that can bring his political life back into play, and after Japan, a power in the Far East that can threaten the interests of the white people? Even he doesn't want to see this...

After all, he is a white man, and white people in this world who are willing to consider problems from the perspective of Chinese are too rare...

But no matter Ray? How reluctant Kopa really was. Yan Shao is what he must see. After all, he has a deep friendship with Yan Shao, but many people in China and France know that there is such a big problem now. He, a veteran, naturally didn't let it.

Fortunately, he still had some face with Yan Shao, so not long after arriving at the Empire State Building, Yan Shao met Yan Shao on the top floor of the building.

Riding in the most advanced elevator of this era, Ray? It took him a while for Copa to reach the top floor of the Empire State Building.

After reaching the top floor of the Empire State Building, he stepped out of the elevator, and Ray? Copa looked back. In addition to the huge lightning rod, there was a relatively spacious platform and an outrageous pool that was simply extravagant...

Build a swimming pool here. I believe that there will be no one else except Yan Shao...

Of course, Yan Shao's style of acting is still very much in line with the style of the French and Italians, at least the French Counsellor and the Italian Minister who came here some time ago. I used to praise this design.

But Ray? Copa...

Not to mention the resistance to Yan Shao in his heart for the time being. His age alone can no longer make him mess around like he did when he was younger, so the first time after seeing this pool, Ray? Kopa frowned, naturally, that was the first time he saw it, and now, Ray? Copa is more or less accustomed to being here.

On the rooftop. Yan Shao didn't swim in the pool, and it was already November. The climate has begun to turn cold, although this time is a comfortable season that is both cold, but not too cold, both hot and not too hot, but at an altitude of hundreds of meters, even if the wind is not considered, the temperature is colder than the ground, jumping into the pool to swim in such a weather―――――― Yan Shao does have the habit of jogging in winter, but swimming in winter or something, cough, this habit is not much...

At this moment, sitting behind a table, Yan Shao's heart seemed to be thinking about something, but when he saw Lei? After Copa's figure, Yan Shao immediately stood up.

"Mr. Minister..."

"Mr. President."

After nodding to each other, Yan Shao motioned to Lei? Kopa sat down in front of him.

Thunder? Kopa was not polite, in fact, he didn't need to be polite, after all, he was not Yan Shao's courtier, and in the past, because the relationship between the two was better, Lei? Kopa is also relatively casual in front of Yan Shao...

After finding a place to sit down, Ray? Kopa did not continue to greet Yan Shao, but said very straightforwardly. "Mr. President, you should know exactly what I'm here for..."

"Of course..."Looking at the thunder with a stern face? Kopa, Yan Shao had a smile on his face. "Isn't it just for the things of the Outer Northeast..."

"Isn't it just..."Hearing Yan Shao's relaxed tone, Lei? The green tendons on Coppa's forehead couldn't help but jump twice. , a long time, Ray? Copa temporarily suppressed the anger in his chest. "President, I hope you can clearly understand the severity of this matter, you must know that although the current Russian government has been overthrown, the Soviet Russian government that came to power has not stopped continuing to fulfill the commitments of its allies, and even if the Russian government has become our enemy, its land in the outer northeast should also belong to the original provisional government, and you are completely taking advantage of the fire to rob it..."

Speaking of the last time, Ray? Kopa was already somewhat indignant.

Taking advantage of the fire to rob has almost become a consensus of almost all countries on China's operation, and even the attitude towards it at home is relatively consistent―――――― that is, taking advantage of the chaos in Russia, digging a piece of meat from him...

Coming to China for so long, and experiencing things in the Outer Northeast, Lei? Kopa naturally knows more about the history of the Outer Northeast, and knows that this land was snatched from the hands of the Chinese. But, Ray? Kopa didn't care about this history, he only cared about it, and that was the interests of the Entente.

At present, the Entente is in a fierce war with Germany, in order to defeat the Entente forces on the Western Front before the American army reinforcements to Europe, Germany has launched a huge offensive again, at this time it is the time when Britain and France and other countries need Russia to contain from behind, at this time to do something against Russia, even if it is just a Bolshevik government, in the eyes of Britain and France is very unwise...

"And right now we're at war with Germany on the Western Front, even though the United States is now at war. The Entente powers had grown dramatically, and the Allies were in the midst of a storm, but we all knew it. The Allies still have a very strong strength today, and even if we can defeat the Allies alone, I am afraid that we will have to pay a very painful price, and this is the time when we need to let the Soviet Russia work for us, I believe in your dislike of communism, Mr. President, but I hope that you can restrain your actions for the sake of the overall situation. After all, this is in the interests of the entire Entente..."

This is also the attitude of the Entente today, and the Entente are of course unpleasant to the eyes of Soviet Russia. After all, one group is capitalism, the other is communism. Moreover, the current First World War was strictly speaking nothing more than a group of imperialist countries―――――― which seemed to scold China as well.

But anyway. This war is merely a clash of interests. It is not a struggle between positions or classes, although the two sides fought fiercely, but not to the point of life and death.

Unlike later generations, who hated each other, in order to deal with the Nazis, Churchill, a well-known anti-G element, was even willing to cooperate with Stalin ...

And at least in the future, it will never be allowed to change jobs halfway. Job-hopping, like the one that Italy did during World War I, would never have been possible in World War II. The only thing that could happen is. The original government was overthrown, the new government came to power―――――― here had to admire Italy, the First World War, originally a Central Powers, jumped to the Entente halfway through and became the victorious power.

During World War II, seeing that they were about to lose, a group of people jumped out to overthrow Mussolini, coupled with their comparatively funny, the result was that they actually shirked most of the responsibilities lightly, and became the lightest burden among the major defeated countries in World War II...

――――――――――――――――――――

Despite Ray? Kopa said very indignantly, but listen to Ray? Copa's words, after looking at his Yan Sù's expression, Yan Shao couldn't help laughing.

"Please, Mr. Minister, are you planning to let Soviet Russia continue to contain the Germans on the Eastern Front, so that they can continue to play the role of the original Tsarist Russia..." Kopa nodded solemnly, and Yan Shao couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Please, you and the people in Paris don't think the Russians are fools..."

Yan Shao didn't continue to say anything, just clapped his palms casually, and then two young and beautiful female secretaries walked up and put a copy of the information in their hands in front of Yan Shao and the others.

After the information was placed neatly, Yan Shao handed the information to Lei? Coppa then said to the two female secretaries. "Alright, you guys go down first"

"Yes!"

Hearing Yan Shao's command, the two slowly retreated, and looking at their swaying backs when they left, at least Yan Shao, who was still very young in his heart, felt a burst of heat in his body.

Even subconsciously, Yan Shao glanced at the swimming pool not far away.

To be honest, Yan Shao is really interested in coming to a wine pond meat forest.

Right at the top of the world's tallest building...

As for this wine pond meat forest...

Is the wine pool, it's easy to solve, it's to fill the pool with fine wine, as for the meat forest...

It will definitely not be like the Yin Shang era, where meat strips are hung on trees, but the kind of white-flowered, real meat forest...

Just thinking of those snow-white carcasses rolling back and forth and laughing in the pool filled with red wine, Yan Shao felt that his body was really hot...

It's a pity that despite his identity and financial resources, it's not that he can't do this kind of thing, but in the end, he can only think about it...

It's not that he needs to pay attention to the influence, he really doesn't care much about this, anyway, now his prestige in the country is already very high, and ordinary people know his daily luxury life very well, as long as he doesn't bully men and women, even if he does this kind of thing, there will be no big problem.

What really gave Yan Shao a headache was the strict supervision of Elano and others...

If Yan Shao really came to the life of a 'wine pond meat forest', he felt that he was more likely to be given a 'good boat' ending...

At the moment, Yan Shao is still very young, and if he doesn't watch the outbreak of World War III, how can he be willing to die young...

Therefore, 'Jiuchi Meat Forest' or something, in the end, it can only be YY in Yan Shao's mind, and there is almost no possibility of what he wants to achieve―――――― maybe when Yan Shao is in his old age, it can be used to satisfy his wishes. If he's still moving...

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Just when Yan Shao was still there YY Jiuchi Meat Forest, at the same time, Lei? Copa took the document on the table. Then I looked at it seriously, and I couldn't help but say after half a sound.

"Mr. President, I don't know where you got this information......... Is the above situation true? ”

"Of course it's true..."Looking at Ray, whose face changed? Copa, Yan Shao couldn't help but smile. "I believe that Mr. Minister should know that in our country there is an agency called the Special Affairs Bureau, which is responsible for intelligence gathering. This information is a piece of information obtained from the Russian Communist Party by the people of the Secret Service Bureau not long after the establishment of the Soviet Russian government, and the above information is very detailed. It is precisely because of this information that I am determined to send troops to the Northeast..."

Speaking of this, Yan Shao pinched his thigh with his hand, so that he could hold back his laughter.

Although Yan Shao's facial expression was very strange. But Ray? Kopa didn't suspect anything. Just sitting there and looking at the piece of information he handed over...

It is clearly written that not long after the formal establishment of the Russian government, Soviet Russia officially opened negotiations with Germany. The content of the negotiations was naturally an armistice, and it was also an armistice with the Allies, so that Russia could successfully withdraw from the war that had led to the collapse of the two governments―――――― which was also what the Russians had been pursuing, and the reason for the collapse of the previous two governments accounted for a large part of the factor.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Look at the content above. Thunder? While Copa was amazed at the capabilities of the Special Forces, he did not doubt at all whether the above content was true or false. One of the big reasons was that he himself believed that Soviet Russia would do this.

Because not long after the establishment of the Soviet Russian government, although Britain and France and other countries were unwilling to recognize the Soviet Russian government, considering the importance of Soviet Russia on the Eastern Front, there were still some connections between these countries and Soviet Russia.

The problem was that as soon as Soviet Russia was founded, it proposed a peaceful proposal to the Entente.

In the end, this proposal was vetoed as a matter of course, and the Soviet Russian government did not say anything more, but in the case of such a premise, it was said that Soviet Russia was in contact with Germany to discuss the matter of withdrawing from the war. Kopa is absolutely convinced...

――――――――――――――――――――

Yan Shao to Lei? Copa's information is, of course, true and accurate, and even a copy of what was in the negotiations between Soviet Russia and Germany. For Yan Shao, it is not difficult to get this thing, after all, before the Wehrmacht went north, Luo Wenying and Lenin and others still had a very good relationship, with such a cover, they could arbitrarily develop informants in St. Petersburg and search for useful information, and this part of the information was provided by some Russian communists developed by Luo Wenying―――――― as once said, not everyone is willing to be a proletarian, or some are because they can't be a propertied class, That's why the proletariat was chosen...

However, unlike in history, although Soviet Russia did propose peace to the Entente after its establishment, in history, Soviet Russia negotiated with Germany on December 3, not in early November...

The difference of almost a month between them is undoubtedly due to the changes in history, as well as the early outbreak of the February and October Revolutions...

Looking at the intelligence in his hand, Ray? Kopa trembled for a while, because he knew very well what the intelligence in his hand meant, which meant that if Soviet Russia and Germany made peace, then the Germans could completely ignore the pressure on the Eastern Front, and instead transfer most of the troops on the Eastern Front to the Western Front, and the situation that was gradually improving on the Western Front was likely to continue to deteriorate...

And with Ray? Kopa was different, but Yan Shao, who was sitting on the side, was almost about to whistle.

Well, Yan Shao knew that Soviet Russia would definitely sign such a treaty, but the question was when. Although Yan Shao knew very well that Lenin himself supported the signing of such an armistice agreement, there were many people in Soviet Russia who refused to do so, and no matter how great Lenin's influence in the Bolsheviks was, it was impossible to change everyone's views in a hurry...

The end result is simpler, although the agreement will be signed. But it's hard to say when it will be signed.

There is no way, who told the Germans to offer conditions that are too harsh.

In fact, at the beginning of the negotiations, Germany put forward harsh conditions for ceding Poland, Lithuania, parts of Estonia, and parts of Latvia and Belarus to Germany and paying reparations of 3 billion rubles. No doubt. Such a condition is very harsh, and it is difficult to say whether Russia has ever signed a more demanding treaty in recent history.

Such a harsh treaty also caused serious disagreements within the Bolshevik Party. Lenin advocated accepting Germany's terms and signing a peace treaty to gain respite for the new regime, and six members of the Central Committee, including Zinoviev, Sokolnikov, Stalin, Artem, Stasova, and Sverdlov, supported Lenin. The "Left Communists" represented by Bukharin opposed the signing of the peace treaty and advocated the continuation of the world war against imperialism. Central Committee members Bubnov, Uritsky, and Lomov supported Bukharin. Trotsky, on the other hand, advocated an armistice and the demobilization of the army, but did not sign a contract with Germany (i.e. "no war, no peace"). Central Committee members Krestinsky, Dzerzhinsky, and Viet Fei supported Trotsky.

In history, on the first vote, Lenin's proposal was rejected.

At that time, the largest number of supporters were Bukharin's faction, followed by Trotsky, and finally Lenin―――――― of course. Lenin's 15 votes were only one less than the former's 16. But Bukharin's 32 votes were more than the two combined.

On the second occasion, Lenin's suggestion was again rejected.

And then the third time...

It can be said that the armistice agreement was very difficult...

Later, although the armistice was signed, Soviet Russia also paid a great price. According to the terms of the treaty, Soviet Russia ended its state of war with Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey, the Russian army was fully demobilized, and the naval warships sailed back to the harbor and disarmed. Soviet Russia recognized the independence of Finland, Ukraine, and Georgia and was obliged to conclude peace with the Ukrainian People's Republic immediately. Soviet Russia ceded Estland, Livland, Courland, Lithuania, and Russian Poland to the German Empire and Austria-Hungary, and only Germany and Austria had the right to decide on the future political status of the above places, and Soviet Russia withdrew from the provinces of Adakhan, Kars, and Batumi, and was taken over by the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and Soviet Russia dismantled all the fortifications on the Arand Islands, and its future status was jointly decided by the four countries of Germany.

At the same time, the supplementary clause also stipulated that Soviet Russia was required to pay Germany an indemnity of 6 billion marks, to be repaid in five installments, but the final payment date must not exceed the end of 1918―――――― which would be three billion more than the original, because Trotsky refused to sign an armistice agreement at that time, and as a result, Germany launched an attack under the pretext of an excuse.

After the signing of the agreement, Russia lost a total of 1,267,000 square kilometers of land and 62 million people, equivalent to 44% of the country's population. In addition, there was a 33% loss of agricultural products, a 54% loss of industry, an 80% loss of sugar, a 73% loss of iron ore, a 75% loss of coal mines, and a total loss of about 27% of fiscal revenue

Naturally, there are also those who think that Lenin's initiative bought time, and that this is only a temporary cession, and it will be taken back in the future, but ...

If Germany hadn't failed, I'm afraid it would...

It should be noted that Yan Shao was very clever and did not tell Lei the conditions proposed by the Germans? Copa, after all, if Rang Ray? When Kopa learned of the above conditions, he would soon reflect that even if the Russians would agree to such a harsh condition, it would probably take a long time to accept...

There is no doubt about that...

――――――――――――――――――――

"That's what it's all about...", Ray? Kopa took out the document that Yan Shao had given him from his briefcase. Anyway, it's just a copy, as long as the original is in hand, it doesn't matter how many copies are copied, Yan Shao naturally won't mind giving it to Lei? A copy of Copa...

Looking at Ray? Kopa handed a copy to himself and others, and Zhu Erdian and the others were shocked, and at the same time, Ray? Kopa continued to smile wryly.

"After that, Yan Shao and I made it very clear that it was inevitable that Soviet Russia was about to withdraw from the war, and in that case, where could it be said to be an ally. Moreover, the Russian government is still a Bolshevik government, and he must ensure that the possibility of communism in the Far East is eliminated..."

"And......... China has shed countless blood on the Western Front, and it has even saved the entire war. Its record is absolutely not inferior to that of Russia, which has been defeated in successive battles on the Eastern Front, and now that Russia is no longer part of the Entente, why should they take back the land they deserve..."

Then he looked at Zhu Erdian and the others. Thunder? Kopa said with a wry smile again. "And then he asked me if it was reasonable for the expeditionary force to get only a little land in the Middle East after so many conquests in Europe..."

This is Yan Shao's cheap and obedient sale, after all, he knows very well that the land he chooses is rich in oil. Iraq, Kuwait, and the Eastern Persian Gulf. If you get one of the three places, it is enough for a country to be used inexhaustibly, not to mention that he also got three this time. And yet listen to Ray? Copa's words, Zhu Erdian and the others were speechless for a while.

After all, unlike Yan Shao, they don't know the situation in the Middle East. In the eyes of people in this era, the Middle East is a barren place. To no one wants. If it's in the past. When China was only a member of the participating countries, and it was only an inconspicuous member, it was nothing to give these lands, but after saving Verdun, and playing well on the Somme, and now becoming one of the pillars of the Western Front, as Yan Shao said, there are already many people who are dissatisfied with the benefits that China can get from entering the war...

After the brilliant achievements of the expeditionary force on the Western Front. The confidence of the people of the country has swelled much more than it was when they first entered the war. Looking at the results, thinking about it, they only got a few pieces of wasteland. Many Chinese people have some imbalance in their hearts.

As ministers to China, Zhu Erdian, Cook and others naturally know this, so they can't say anything, after all, they don't know the truth, they also feel in their hearts that those 'wastelands' in the Middle East are indeed a little unworthy of China's contribution, but...

If China's contribution is recognized, more benefits must be shared. Giving more to China is equivalent to giving less to other countries, Zhu Erdian and they are all white after all, and they always have to be inclined to 'their own people'...

So Yan Shao didn't mention it, and they didn't mention Yan Shao to shout grievances.

But now that Yan Shao has brought it up, it's hard for them to say anything...

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

After an awkward silence, Zhu Erdian spoke first. "The most important thing now is not to hold the Chinese government accountable for this incident, but to first send back to China the fact that Soviet Russia is negotiating an armistice with Germany, so that the country can confirm it..."

Saying that, Zhu Erdian said with a wry smile. "Personally, I believe in the authenticity of this information, after all, we all know that the Russians have always wanted to withdraw from this war, but if that's the case......... I am afraid that the matter of the Chinese government's dispatch of troops to the northeast this time will be over..."

Hearing Zhu Erdian's words, Ray? Both Kopa and Cook were silent.

They knew very well what Zhu Erdian meant, if Soviet Russia really truces war with Germany, then the pressure on the coalition forces on the Western Front will be greater than it is now. In other words, they also need China's support even more, and in this case they can't stop China at all, they can only acquiesce...

After all, the most important thing at the moment is the war situation in Europe...

Soon the three of them reached a consensus and sent the information they had just obtained to Europe and the Americas, and after receiving the information, London, Paris, and New York were all devastated, and they could not have imagined that the Soviet Russian government had just been established, and it had begun to collude with Germany, which also made them anxious.

After all, if the Allied armies were concentrated on the Western Front, even if they could win in the end, the casualties would never be negligible...

Then, what made Zhu Erdian right was that although he was angry about the situation of China's dispatch of troops to the Northeast, after confirming the authenticity of the intelligence, Britain and the United States and other countries could only turn a blind eye and acquiesce in China's behavior...

After all, the reason why Britain and France retained their ties with Soviet Russia was that they hoped that they could play the role of the original Tsarist Russia. Now that Soviet Russia is planning to fornicate with Germany, of course there is no need for them to continue to speak for Soviet Russia―――――― don't forget that the two are hostile classes.

Naturally, Britain and France and other countries have not completely given up hope, and are still trying to find a way to let Soviet Russia continue to work for them, but even they themselves know how slim this hope is.

And, as Zhu Erdian said, China is far more important to the current Entente than Russia. In the case that Soviet Russia has begun to prepare to withdraw from the European war, it is even more relaxed and happy for Britain, France and other countries to sacrifice the interests of Russia...

At the same time, standing on the roof of the Empire State Building, holding on to the railing, looking at the tiny buildings below and the vehicles similar to ants, Yan Shao was also rejoicing in his heart.

"Fortunately, the attention of both Britain, France and Soviet Russia has been focused on the outer northeast, so I believe that it should be possible to hide the troops assembled in the northwest for a while, and it will not be long, as long as the Russians and the Germans sign an armistice..."

On the one hand, the dispatch of troops to the northeast is due to the problem of time, and on the other hand, it is not to cover for the troops in the northwest. After all, hundreds of thousands of troops are stationed in the northwest, and even if the northwest is sparsely populated, it is difficult to imagine that it will not be discovered for a long time.

So there is only one way, and that is to set up a target that attracts everyone's attention, which is similar to Yan Shao's way of setting up such a target as Soviet Russia to attract the attention of other powers...

And for now, at least, it's working very well.

Both Britain, France, Russia and Germany almost shifted their attention to the outer northeast, and there was no movement in the northwest direction at all, and the next troops in the northwest only had to wait until Soviet Russia and Germany formally signed an agreement and withdrew from the war.

Whether it is Britain, France or the United States, they will never allow the betrayal of Soviet Russia, as long as Soviet Russia withdraws from the war, the Entente must send troops to crusade, and when China sends troops again, it is simply justifiable, and Britain and the United States and other countries that were dragged by the European war and the Soviet Russian battlefield at the same time, even if they have some opinions, they will not be able to pull out their hands in a short time... (To be continued......)
