Beiyang 1917

() On this trip, Stresemann, as a representative of the German Parliament, came to visit Soviet Russia, but what he shouldered was the secret mission of negotiating with the Allied Forces of the Allied Powers in Samara on the Volga River. The friendly neighbors of the "Samara Peace Treaty" are obviously the most suitable intermediaries. Of course, few people have sniffed out the idea of ​​the German demand director preparing to make peace with the Volga Federation.

It was Ludendorff's natural choice to choose the Soviet Russian government channel that maintained peaceful coexistence with the Volga Federation, rather than the bloody Ukrainian government channel that fought with the Allied forces on the Ukrainian battlefield. Although William Greiner's 10th Army A victory was achieved, but if the reserves of 2 to 3 armies on the Eastern Front were not concentrated to join the Ukrainian battlefield, it would be wishful thinking to push the Allied forces back to the Volga River on the Eastern Front! ..

It is not 1914, nor 1916, but 1918. After four years of continuous battles like a meat grinder, the German Army’s elite has lost almost one-third of its elite. There are very few, and the source of troops in 1914 is regarded as the main force, and those servants of Poland, Belarus, and Ukraine are not even comparable to the army of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. At best, they are on the same level as the Bulgarians. The German army is now facing difficulties in two-front combat. It was even bigger than when Brusivov attacked.

"Mr. Congressman, this kind of statement is completely framed and framed with ulterior motives. Moscow knows nothing about what happened in Ukraine and Kursk. We are too busy to deal with the Kolchak gang. How can we get involved with you? Things in the south!"

The first one to jump up to refute is still Bukharin, the top student of the Journalism Department of Moscow University. The four words of quick thinking are not an exaggeration. On the battlefield of the debate, there is basically no one in the Central Committee of Soviet Russia like you. Lin’s opponent, let’s put it aside earlier, the taciturn Comrade Joseph can barely frighten the People’s Commissar of News with death-like eyes, but at this moment, Joseph is also reflecting on his own mistakes in a certain house outside Moscow... ..

"Comrade Bukharin, I am not here to play tricks on the members of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union. I want to communicate with Comrade Chairman, Trotsky and Sverdrow alone. The current chaos is purely delaying things!" Gustav Stresemann was obviously anti-customer, and his implication was to drive out the noisy Bukharin and others.

"Okay... for the sake of a carload of canned beef, let's hear what panacea that German friend in Berlin has brought. Bukharin, you and Chicherin go to your own business first, and Joffe stays. I'm going to be an interpreter..." Ulyanov's German level is actually pretty good, but Stresemann's Russian level is not as good. If you want to say that Chicherin, the People's Commissar of Foreign Affairs who is proficient in six languages, should be left behind , but Chicherin may not be as clear about the situation in Berlin as his deputy stationed in Germany...

Hearing this, Bukharin had to stand up gruntingly. Chicherin knew that he was increasingly marginalized in front of the big three in the party, but Yuefei was more popular and favored by the big three. Trotsky's deputy at the time of the special peace agreement, wondering if he had caused disaster by taking the position of Trotsky's negotiator, and dragged Bukharin out of the conference room.

Sverdlov walked to the door and told the duty officer of the guard in the corridor, "Without my order, no one is allowed to enter the conference room without permission, and an additional team is sent to guard both ends of the corridor!" At that time, Sverdlov felt agitated for no reason. What the hell are the Germans planning?

After closing the door, the three giants of the central government of Soviet Russia and a deputy foreign commissar who played a guest role as part of the translation formed a posture similar to a three-room trial and dragged away the chairs, surrounding the German special envoy Gustav Stresemann. In the middle, Stresemann nodded in satisfaction when he saw the situation, took out a small notebook from his bosom, looked at it for a while, raised his head and said,

"In view of the fact that Soviet Russia and the Volga Federation signed the "Samara Peace Treaty" of mutual non-aggression and mutual recognition, the German Army High Command believes that there is an opportunity and basis for peace on the Eastern Front. The Ukrainian campaign was not initiated by the German army, and we do not want to Push the Volga Federation into the hostile camp for the sake of Simon Petliura and his unreliable government!"

The German special envoy straight to the point did not say a word of nonsense, but the three giants of the Soviet Russian Central Committee were dumbfounded. The three looked at each other, unable to believe their ears. Trotsky was the first to stand up and turn around, waving started to ask,

"Mr. Special Envoy, I am confused by you. Is Germany planning to return Ukraine to Soviet Russia? Eastern Ukraine is now under the control of the Allied Forces. Do you expect us to give them the Donbas Coalfield and Khar Cove wants to come back without firing a shot? It's just... just kidding!"

"No no, Trotsky, your idea is wrong. I think Ludendorff hopes to use our matchmaking to end the war with the Allied forces on the Eastern Front, and even reach a secret agreement, so that Germany can free up its hands to jump out of Ukraine. Is it true that the main force is deployed to the western front to launch the autumn offensive?" Ulyanov asked Stresemann, looking into Stresemann's eyes.

"I don't think it's that simple, Mr. Special Envoy, is Berlin planning to sacrifice Moscow and Soviet Russia in exchange for the Chinese king's compromise and truce? Even, to pull the other party into the camp of the Allies?!" Sverdlo Husband's conjecture is even bolder.

"Everyone, don't make wild guesses. Ludendorff sent me just to seek peace on the Eastern Front. The war has reached its current level. The Allies and Allied Powers are exhausted. The continuation of the war is meaningless. Germany has gained its living space, and now it seems that it needs to end the war decently. Of course, your Soviet regime has grown from scratch, and completed the goal that it failed to achieve in the past 20 years of struggle..."

Speaking of which, the German envoy put the tea mug in his hand in the middle of the table, grabbed an ashtray on the left, and put it on the right. There were two boxes of matches scattered on the lid of the tea mug, and Ulyanov and others surrounded him. Let’s see what the young Ludendorff secret envoy will do. If we want to end the war, the Soviet wants to end the war as soon as possible. If it was not under the guise of ending the war, how could there be The victory of the February Revolution and the success of the October Revolution?
