Buru, Moscow, Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Buru Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars Molotov moved his office here after taking on the role of People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs. Due to different national systems, Buru's diplomatic work is very difficult to carry out. In addition, the current international environment is very complex and a war is about to break out. This makes Buru cannot help but pay more attention to diplomatic work.
In view of the increasingly tense relationship between Buru and German Empire, they are no longer as close as before. Many Buru leaders have already guessed that war will break out between Buru and Germany soon. This also forced Buru to strengthen its contact with United States, hoping to get support from Germany United States after the war broke out.
Europe is in the same place as Germany, which makes Buru very clear about the strength of Germany. Although, Buru's strength has improved a lot over the years, and it is completely different from what it was just after the founding of the country. However, if you want to fight against the world's most powerful country German Empire, that is undoubtedly not enough. Therefore, it is undoubtedly essential to seek strong foreign aid. In that case, they might be able to resist the Germany people's attack.
Although, Germany is very powerful. However, for the sake of their country, they can only hold on even if they face the powerful Germany.
"Comrade Chairman, Representative Germany wants to see you!" the secretary said to Molotov.
Molotov couldn't help but frown. Considering that the relationship between the two countries was getting worse and worse, after Molotov took over as People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs, the person he least wanted to see was probably the representative Germany. However, since Representative Germany is here, it is impossible to miss him. Otherwise, this may further worsen the relationship between the two countries. In that case, the situation will be even more unfavorable to them.
Soon, Ribbentrop, Germany's representative in Bolshevik representative office, walked into Molotov's office.
"Your Excellency, good morning!" Ribbentrop said with a smile on his face.
"On behalf of your Excellency, please take a seat." Molotov smiled and nodded.
After the secretary brought the coffee, he left the office. And the pleasantries between the two of them ended here.
"On behalf of Your Excellency, do you know why you are here this time?" Molotov asked. He knew that if nothing happened, Ribbentrop would not come to see him. It is precisely because of this that Molotov is reluctant to meet Ribbentrop, because it means there will be trouble. But unfortunately, many things cannot be avoided.
"Your Excellency, the German Empire is very indignant that your country has brazenly sent troops to attack the Kingdom of Ukraine! The Kingdom of Ukraine is a protectorate of the German Empire, and it is a country where His Imperial Majesty the Emperor is also the king. According to the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk signed by our two countries, the Kingdom of Ukraine has become independent, and Russia will no longer interfere. Any reason for the Kingdom of Ukraine. However, your country's behavior is clearly tearing up the Treaty of Brest, which is unacceptable to the German Empire. Otherwise, the empire will regard your country as abandoning peace with the German Empire." Ribbentrop said with a serious face.
"What?" Molotov was stunned. He had no idea that such a thing had happened! However, he doesn't think Ribbentrop is lying, because there is no need at all. If it is a lie, it can be easily found out.
Thinking of this, Molotov couldn't help but feel very angry. Everyone knew that Germany was in its heyday and had great strength. If you provoke Germany at this time, isn't that asking for death?
"On behalf of your Excellency, I don't know if there is any misunderstanding." Molotov said.
"Misunderstanding? How could this be a misunderstanding? A full regiment of troops from your country crossed the border and launched a surprise attack on Ukrainian army. Such behavior has constituted a war." Ribbentrop retorted.
He knew that perhaps Bolshevik border guards suppressed the matter and did not report it, so the leaders of Bolshevik Russian government were all still in the dark and did not know anything about it. But, what does this have to do with Germany? They want to make a big fuss out of this incident.
Molotov was shocked. Those guys from the army actually dared to send a regiment to attack Ukraine. Wasn't this to provoke the Germany people? Kingdom of Ukraine Although it has developed rapidly in recent years, it is nothing to worry about. If Ukraine can be defeated, this will be a good thing for Buru. But the problem is that behind Kingdom of Ukraine, stands the behemoth Germany! With the current strength of Buru, we should have tried our best to avoid a conflict with Germany, but those guys in the army are deliberately looking for trouble. This is obviously to put the country in danger!
"On behalf of your Excellency, our party and our country attach great importance to the friendly relations with the German Empire. In the past more than 20 years, our two countries have maintained a close cooperative relationship. Therefore, please believe that what happened this time will definitely not This is the true intention of our party and our country. There must be some misunderstanding. I promise that I will report it to Comrade Joseph and give you a reasonable explanation!" Molotov said.
Molotov knows that the most important thing now is to give Germany an explanation to avoid further expansion of the situation, or in other words, Germany people are taking advantage of the situation. Now, the relationship between the two countries is tense. If the Germany people use this as an excuse to go to war with Buru, the consequences will be too serious.
"Hmph! Your Excellency. His Majesty the Emperor is very dissatisfied with your country's behavior this time. We hope that your country can give Kingdom of Ukraine a satisfactory explanation. Otherwise, Empire will have to take further action!" Ribbentrop threatened.
Although Molotov was very dissatisfied, he didn't show any signs of it. He knew that now was not the time to fall out with Germany.
"Don't worry, on behalf of your Excellency, we will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly!" Molotov said.
Ribbentrop then nodded and turned to leave.
This time, his meeting with Molotov was just to express German Empire's attitude. Next, if Buru wants to compromise and settle the matter, he will further make harsh demands and press Buru step by step.
Although Ribbentrop didn't know Germany's true intention, his intuition told him that the two countries would soon go to war, and he could return to Germany.
