Beiyang 1917

()1918年8月1ri14:05，苏俄莫斯科、克里姆林宫，大会议室

"I can't promise!" Zinoviev and Bubnov said in unison, "The decisive battle between us and Kolchak is imminent. If we offend the Volga Federation and the Eastern Front Allied Forces of the Allied Powers at this time, once the other party tears up the "Samara Peace Treaty "Crossing the river to the west, wouldn't we fall short? The Germans themselves were defeated in Kharkov, so can we expect the Germans who can't keep Ukraine to come to the rescue of Soviet Russia?"

Zinoviev's words always hit the point. When he said this, all the central committee members in the conference room nodded secretly. Only the little leader Ulyanov scratched his bald forehead and said, "The words are true." You are right, but if you offend the Germans and cut off food and ammunition support, including the repatriation of prisoners of war, will the Soviet still have the confidence to destroy the Kolchak White Guards?"..

As soon as Ulyanov said this, the opinions in the conference room that originally supported Zinoviev suddenly fell silent, and Bukharin stood up and shouted, "Comrade Chairman is right, the Volga Federation is only willing to export to us." There is no big oil and fuel, but the Germans supply us with food, weapons, ammunition, arms and cannons. Once the Germans are offended and the supplies are cut off, how long can Moscow and the Soviet hold on? Unless they can find new allies, they will immediately die We are about to face the moment of life and death!"

"How about... how about procrastinating? Neither agree nor say no, just say that we need time to discuss and study. Anyway, the Germans have been defeated in Ukraine now. Maybe the other side That’s just such nonsense, if the coalition forces continue to attack in the direction of Kharkov, I suspect that the German army in Kiev may not be able to spare enough troops to encircle Wei and save Zhao on the northern front. Zinoviev, is the Chinese there? What is this allusion? Besiege Wei and save Zhao?"..

The one who spoke was Sverdlov, who has never been too angry. He is now the most popular and powerful faction in the entire Soviet Russian Central Committee in the post-Joseph era. The Volga Military Region and the Front Army are under the direct control and cooperation of his commander. Under the command, and the work of Dzerzhinsky's Cheka has to be reported to him, the vice chairman of the Supreme Military Council. It is not an exaggeration to describe Sverdlov in August 1918 with high position and weight.

"Blindly procrastinating, I'm afraid that both ends will be offended. Besides, if the Germans in the triangle area where Soviet Russia, the Volga Federation and Ukraine are handed over, if the Germans cross the border directly by train, will the Soviet Russian Red Army local troops at the border intercept or not? The Germans are not. The kind of people who are willing to be reasonable, relying on their strength, are almost rampant on the Eastern Front, but what they want to do, we suffered a big loss when negotiating the Brest Peace Treaty!" The People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs Chicherin said quietly .

"Either? Simply, how about joining the Allied Powers?! Taking advantage of the time when the German guy was beaten up by the Chinese king in Ukraine, let's stop maintaining neutrality in the name of shit. Since the Germans can't beat the Chinese in Ukraine , we can’t continue to cling to the Allies’ legs. It’s time to consider the situation and consider a way out. I think there are at least two benefits to joining the Allies. The first is to gain the support of the King of China and the Volga Federation, and the second is to give Kolchak The death knell is sounded, and thirdly, Russia was originally a member of the Allied Powers, so there is no need to talk about doctrines now, Mr. Soviets will survive and find other things!"

What surprised me was Trotsky, the second most important person in Soviet Russia and the chairman of the Supreme Military Council of Soviet Russia. This leader's hatred for the Germans was clearly revealed when the Brest Peace Treaty was first negotiated. It is the most important member of the Allied Powers, especially after the United States and the Sino-Japanese Alliance joined the war. Trotsky's judgment was that the decline of the German-Austrian Allies was inevitable. The United States is the most powerful industrial country in the world. War and mobilization The potential is huge, and the Americans are not alone at the moment. The Sino-Japanese alliance supported by the United States and Britain has made the Germans feel ashamed in Ukraine...

Trotsky's words actually expressed the aspirations of many members of the Central Committee of Soviet Russia. After these people experienced exile and revolution in the Tsarist Russian era, although they shouted slogans and shouted about doctrine, only God knows what they think in their hearts. Otherwise, I wouldn't risk the world and ceded so many land resources and population for the truce with Germany...

But don’t forget that it was the Germans who quietly sent the little leader Ulyanov back home to lead the Bolshevik revolution to overthrow Tsarist Russia. Ulyanov did not have Trotsky’s feelings for the Allied Powers. Well, the Eastern Allied Forces of the Allied Powers now occupy about half of the Soviet Russian territory west of the Ural Mountains. If the Far East, Lake Baikal region and West Siberia are added before, the Russian territory that the King of China snatched is vaster than that snatched by the German and Austrian Allies. Much more!

If the Joseph incident is a dispute between hilltopism and local and central yang within the Soviet Russian Party, then between Trotsky and Ulyanov it is a dispute between relying on the Allies or the Entente, a typical lineist dispute, Beyond the struggle for power, where the Soviet Russian regime will go depends on whether it can choose the right allies!Of course, it depends on whether Soviet Russia can temporarily abandon Bolshevism and class struggle. The big killer released by the Pandora's box is a thing that kills 1000 enemies and damages 800 or even 1200.

Ulyanov's face was very ugly when he heard the words, and he turned around in the conference room with his hands behind his back without saying a word. At this time, Bukharin jumped out again and shouted, "Trotsky was killed by the Volga Federation and The Chinese are blindfolded by the propaganda, the Allies are both old and new imperialist bourgeoisie, they will never be in the same pot as our Soviet proletariat, expecting them to abandon the Kolchak regime and support us is a daydream, now The "Samara Peace Treaty" is nothing more than a delaying strategy between Soviet Russia and the Volga Federation!"

It cannot be said that Bukharin is an ignorant guy. After all, this guy is a top student in the Department of Journalism of Moscow University, a member of the press and propaganda committee of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union, a pen and the editor-in-chief of Pravda. No big mistake, in Bukharin's view, Comrade Ulyanov would not part ways with the Germans, and the Entente's hatred of the new proletariat was no less than that of the Allies, so appeasement and peace with the Entente could only It is an expedient measure, and in the future, the two sides will inevitably fight with each other!
