After the war, Moscow no longer looked like the capital of Russia. The entire city was beaten to pieces during the war and became a ruin. The densely packed prisoner of war camps outside the city have become a unique scenery. However, a large number of Russia prisoners of war will participate in the work of rebuilding Moscow during the day.
Although, when the Russian army surrendered, German military promised that they would not be forced to do secondary labor. However, German military has a different approach. That is, only those who work will receive food. Under such circumstances, if they did not want to starve to death, Russian prisoners of war could only participate in labor.
Thanks to the efforts of a large number of Russian prisoners of war, the ruins of Moscow are being cleared bit by bit. As for reconstruction, we have to wait until the Russia New Deal government is established.
When the transport plane Molotov was on flew over Moscow, and saw the ruined city below through the porthole window, Molotov was also filled with emotions.
The former Russia was one of the many powerful countries in the world. Their strong industrial strength and huge military power give them the capital to challenge Germany. But unfortunately, it is precisely because of their strong strength that the self-confidence of the leaders of Russia has skyrocketed. It finally ended up like this. Otherwise, Russia would not be like this, and so many people would not die in the war.
Of course, Molotov also knows that with the development of Russia, it is becoming more and more powerful. Germany will take action against Russia sooner or later. In order to protect their own world Hegemonic Status, Germany will never watch a powerful Russia appear next to them. Therefore, this war is completely inevitable.
The plane landed at Moscow Airport, and German Foreign Minister Ribbentrop, who arrived first, was already waiting at the airport.
When Molotov got off the plane, he saw Ribbentrop waving to him and quickly walked over.
Ribbentrop served as the special representative of Germany in Russia, and also made a lot of noises with Molotov. Therefore, the two of them can be regarded as familiar acquaintances. But precisely because of this, Molotov also knew that this time the peace talks might be more difficult than he imagined. Because he knows very well that Ribbentrop is a very difficult person to deal with.
However, Molotov is also ready. He knew that Germany would not miss this opportunity and would kill Russia severely. This is already inevitable.
"Hello Your Excellency the Commissioner, nice to see you again!" Ribbentrop's face was filled with the smile that a winner should have.
"Hello, Your Excellency Foreign Minister. Congratulations on winning the war. And I believe that you will win the final victory of this war soon." Molotov said.
Since you lose, you must admit defeat. Molotov has recognized the reality. Therefore, he simply surrendered to the Germany people and was willing to accept the punishment due to the loser.
"Your Excellency the Commissioner, no matter what, this damn war is over. We should find ways to prevent similar tragedies from happening again." Ribbentrop said.
Molotov nodded, now Germany people can say whatever they say. There is nothing left to argue about. Anyway, Germany has won the victory. So, as a victorious country, Germany should receive a series of benefits that a winner should have.
After the greetings ended, Ribbentrop and Molotov headed to the negotiation location that had been arranged in the same car.
Negotiations officially began soon.
"Your Excellency the Commissioner, in this war Russia first launched an attack on Germany. Germany paid a very heavy price in this war. Therefore, Russia should compensate Germany for its losses! Do you have any objection to this?" Ribbentrop asked.
Molotov shook his head. This war was started by Joseph. Now, Joseph has committed suicide, and they have to bear the consequences of it all.
"German Empire hopes that Russia can cede the territory south of the Don River and Volga River, including the entire Caucasus region, to the German Empire. Let this area become the directly governed territory of the German Empire." Ribbentrop said with a smile.
Molotov couldn't help but feel nervous. Even though he has made preparations to be brutally slaughtered by Germany people. However, the Germany people wanted to take over a fertile territory of Russia with one blow, including even the important Baku oil fields. This is undoubtedly a great weakening of Russia!
"In addition, the territory of Kingdom of Belarus occupied by Russia should also be returned to Kingdom of Belarus." Ribbentrop continued.
"I have no right to make a decision regarding these conditions in your country. However, I will report it to Chelyabinsk, and it will be decided by Politburo." Molotov said.
Ribbentrop nodded, of course he knew that Molotov was negotiating on behalf of Russia. However, in the face of these harsh conditions, Molotov certainly has no right to agree.
"Your Excellency the Commissioner, we plan to re-establish a Russia on the territory of Russia. That is, Russia west of the Ural Mountains and Ural River territory, establish a democratic Russia. The territory east of the Ural Mountains and Ural River will continue to be controlled by you." Ribbentrop continued.
Molotov's face suddenly changed. Although, most of the territory of Russia is in Asia east of the Ural Mountains and Ural River. However, Eastern European Plain is the core territory of Russia. Without these territories, even if Russia has a huge territory, it will become an insignificant small country.
Germany's move is obviously to split Russia in one fell swoop and completely eliminate the threat Russia poses to Germany.
"Your Excellency Foreign Minister, such conditions are too harsh. It is impossible for us to agree to such conditions and watch our country being divided!" Molotov said.
"Your Excellency the Commissioner, do you still have a choice? German Empire's will cannot be changed even by God!" Ribbentrop insisted.
Molotov suddenly fell silent. He knew that even if Russia opposed it, Germany would definitely vigorously implement this plan. In fact, Russia's objections are of no use at all. Germany people don't care at all.
"Your Excellency the Commissioner, if you don't agree, then this war will not end. Our army will continue to attack eastward. At that time, what choice should you make?" Ribbentrop then asked.
Molotov thought for a while, and then said, "I will report it to Chelyabinsk!"
