Chapter 729: Begging for Peace (28th Update)

"Comrades, it was not at all possible that Tukhachevsky was actually a traitor hiding among us, that I did not know anyone, and that I was responsible. Tukhachevsky's betrayal caused the entire Caucasian Front to surrender and made the situation of great Soviet Russia even more difficult. At the ****** meeting, Ulyanov took the initiative to admit his mistake. Otherwise, he feared that it would be used as a sword against him. Of course, if he had brought it up himself, it would have been much smaller.

Everyone knows that the reason why Tukhachevsky was able to serve as a senior general of the Soviet Russian Red Army at such a young age was completely inseparable from the support of Ulyanov. The reason why Ulyanov did this was purely to plant a nail in the Red Army of Soviet Russia. As the supreme leader of Soviet Russia and the Bolsheviks, how could he tolerate the Red Army of Soviet Russia being out of his control?

"Comrade President, you don't have to blame yourself at all. How can this be considered your responsibility? Everything is hidden too deep by that despicable villain of Tukhachevsky, deceiving us all. Stalin hurriedly said.

Kamenev and Krestinsky also chimed in. After all, Tukhachevsky's defection was too great a blow to the Russian Red Army and even the entire Soviet Russian government. It's a big hit. If at this time, internal strife broke out in Soviet Russia, then Soviet Russia would really be finished.

Trotsky had to sigh in his heart that Ulyanov was really an old fox. Since he has already admitted his mistakes, coupled with the statements of other members of the ****** Committee, if he persists any longer, it will inevitably be regarded as disunity. Therefore, Trotsky had no choice but to give up this opportunity. After all, the crisis that Soviet Russia is facing now. It is absolutely possible to encounter the interference of various countries just after the victory of the revolution. If you are not careful, Soviet Russia will be finished. Trotsky, too, did not want to see that day.

Therefore, Trotsky then stated that it was not Ulyanov's fault, but mainly Tukhachevsky's fault.

Until Trotsky took a stand. Only then did Ulyanov breathe a sigh of relief. He knew that this light was peaceful.

"Comrade President, we must not let go of those traitors of Tukhachevsky and the Caucasian Front, who, although they defected, their families are still there. According to the regulations, we will put all their family members to death as an example. Stalin proposed. It was precisely in this way that the commanders and fighters of the Russian Red Army had to fight to the death.

Ulyanov frowned. Of course, he wanted to hang all the families of Tukhachevsky and other traitors. But if he nodded, wouldn't that seem like he was too cruel and tarnished his image?

"It's too cruel to put you to death. Sending them to labor camps to contribute to the strength of the Soviets was also atonement. Ulyanov said.

"It's still Zhou Xiang that Comrade Chairman considers." Stalin hurriedly said. Subsequently, he ordered people to immediately arrest all the families of Tukhachevsky and others and send them to a labor camp on the outskirts of Moscow. But. Soon they got the news that the families of Tukhachevsky and others had disappeared. This immediately made several ****** committee members. His face became very ugly.

"It seems that we all underestimated Tukhachevsky. His defection was simply planned for a long time. He has failed the cultivation of the party and the state for him! If Tukhachevsky is captured on the battlefield in the future, he must be sent back to Moscow, and then hanged, for what he has done for him. Take its toll! Ulyanov said through gritted teeth. He felt as if he were a clown, at the mercy of Tukhachevsky's applause. If Tukhachevsky is not killed, then this shame will stay with him for the rest of his life.

"Yes, Comrade Chairman." Trotsky nodded.

"Comrades. Soviet Russia is now facing great difficulties. The Ural Front suffered heavy losses and was almost completely annihilated. The Caucasian Front defected again, which caused an unprecedented setback for our army, our country. But, I believe, it is as ephemeral as the darkness before dawn. Soon, we will be victorious. In the future, our revolution will surely be victorious. Ulyanov said firmly.

"Yes, Comrade President, we will be able to win. Chinese imperialism was able to defeat us this time. But next time we'll be able to get our revenge! Stalin immediately said.

"Comrade Chairman, now we have only eight armies left, 1.2 million people. Although, the military council has already issued a ****** that twelve army groups will be mobilized in the shortest possible time. However, this takes time. Colleague, there is also a big gap in our weapons and equipment. Trotsky reminded.

The losses of the Ural Front and the Caucasian Front cost the Russian Red Army almost two-thirds of its strength. It can be said that the current Soviet Russian Red Army is very weak. If the Western powers had organized another large-scale intervention, and the millions of troops that the Chinese Empire had thrown into the battlefield would also attack, then Soviet Russia might have really been destroyed.

Ulyanov's face was a little ugly, and he said: "I know that we are facing many difficulties now. However, I am confident that we will be able to overcome these difficulties. The weapons of the army can be produced at a faster pace in the arsenal, and if it is still not enough, then they will be shared first, and then equipped when the weapons are produced. All in all, the Russian Red Army had to regain its strength in the shortest possible time. This is the guarantee for the survival of our state and our political power, as well as our party. ”

Ulyanov knew that without a strong Soviet Russian Red Army, they would have perished long ago.

"Yes, Comrade President. However, my greatest concern now is not the expansion of the Red Army. It's whether the Chinese will fight the Urals and the Urals. Of course, they have now occupied the Don and south of the Volga. Will they continue to attack? Trotsky said with some concern. With the current strength of the Soviet Russian Red Army, if the Chinese* army continues to attack, then they will definitely not be able to resist it.

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the conference room froze all of a sudden. Previously, they seemed to be deliberately evading the issue. But is this question avoidable? That's obviously impossible.

"We reached an agreement with them at the beginning, and they shouldn't have broken their promises." Stalin said.

However, he seems to have forgotten that it was Soviet Russia that broke its promise first. At that time, when they defeated the Western intervention army, they thought that the Soviet Russian Red Army was the strongest army in the world, so they turned their heads on everything and directly reneged on their promise to cross the Ural Mountains and the Ural River. As a result, we are in the current miserable situation.

"If the Chinese want to, they can cross the Ural Mountains and the Ural River at any time." Kamenev said.

"Comrade Trotsky, is it true that our Red Army does not have the strength to confront the Chinese?" Krestinsky asked.

"At least not now. Through this war, we should recognize how big the gap between us and the Chinese is in military terms. Their army, armored forces and air force are far stronger than ours, and the two sides are not even on the same level. Also, let's not forget that the Chinese have only invested more than a million troops from the beginning to the end, which is only half of their total army strength. With the Chinese population, they could easily arm even more troops if they wanted to. So, in a short time, it is better not to provoke the Chinese. Trotsky said.

Had it not been for this war, Trotsky would have been rebuked by others for saying such things. However, this battle woke everyone up. They knew that Trotsky was right.

"So, comrades, what should we do now to be able to encircle Soviet Russia and defend the Bolsheviks?" Ulyanov asked.

Everyone was silent, as if everyone had no idea.

After a long time, Stalin said: "Comrade President, for the sake of today, I am afraid that we will have to send people to make peace talks with the Chinese." Only in this way can the Chinese give up attacking us and buy enough time for Soviet Russia to develop. ”

"Peace talks? Will the Chinese agree? Even if the Chinese agree, with their greed, we will definitely pay an extremely heavy price. Kamenev said.

"The Chinese should agree to peace talks with us." We, Soviet Russia, are an outlier in the eyes of the Western powers, and we want to get rid of them as soon as possible. However, the Chinese Empire and the Western world were not at peace either. If we hadn't been at the front, they would have faced the oppression of the Western world long ago. Therefore, the Chinese should not want to really destroy us. At least for this stage, they don't want to destroy us. Krestinsky analyzed.

Everyone nodded their heads in agreement.

"As for the greed of the Chinese, there is no other way but to satisfy their appetite." Didn't we, in order to launch the First World War, also agree to the harsh conditions of the Germans? As long as it can buy us enough time, even if the conditions are a little harsh, what does it matter? We'll be able to do it one day. Krestinsky said.

Ulyanov nodded, apparently agreeing with this statement: "The Chinese have a saying, called 'It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years'." Now, we bow to the Chinese in order to trample them on the soles of our feet in the future. Contact Comrade Yue Fei and get in touch with the Chinese! (To be continued.) )
