The meeting of Russia Bolshevik Supreme Council did not reach any resolution. Some people supported making peace with Germany, while others supported rejecting Germany's request. The entire meeting was full of hype. Finally, Ulyanov left the meeting room with a gloomy face, and this ended the meeting.

For several days, Russian Bolshevik Party was arguing about what to do, and time passed slowly like this.

Three days later, Russian Bolshevik Party has not yet given an accurate reply to Germany. German Foreign Minister von Kidron Wachth immediately left Brest and led the Germany delegation back to Germany regardless of Trotsky's attempts to stay.

As soon as the Germany delegation left, Bolshevik Party became even more anxious. Everyone knows that after the negotiation breaks down, they will have to face the military threat of Germany.

After von Kidron Wachth returned to Berlin, he immediately met Oscar. Prime Minister Bernhardt von Bülow, also together.

"Your Highness, is our asking price too high? Russians was frightened." Feng Kidron Wachth said.

"Yes! Your Highness. If Russians refuses to agree to our conditions, then do we really have to use force against them?" Bernhardt von Bülow was also a little worried.

After all, they all know it. Now Germany's main focus will be on the Western Front. On the eastern front, only a small number of troops will be retained.

"Of course we can't use force against them. However, it is still possible to intimidate them. Since Russians has been unable to make a decision, let's help them! I will ask 8th Army Corps and 9th Army Corps to look like a large-scale attack. By then, I think Russians will make a choice." Oscar looked like he had a chance to win.

However, this is just an act. In fact, he didn't know whether Bolshevik Party would succumb as easily as in another time and space. After all, many things have changed in this time and space. The Bolshevik Party of this time and space is also more powerful than the Bolshevik Party of another time and space.

"Crown Prince, how about we lower our requirements appropriately!" Feng Kidron Wachth said. If you get nothing in the end because the asking price is too high, it's not worth it.

"No! Although we and Russian Bolshevik Party are still cooperating, the honeymoon period will end soon. By then, we will be enemies. Therefore, the harder we kill them at this time, we will be able to weaken them to the greatest extent. This will allow us to occupy a favorable position in future confrontations." Oscar said.

"Wachth, just follow Crown Prince's advice! I also believe that Crown Prince will succeed." Bernhardt von Bülow said.

"Okay then!" Feng Kidron Wachth nodded and had no choice but to say nothing more.

"Your Excellency Foreign Minister, you must not be impatient when negotiating with Russian Bolshevik Party. Russians will not shed tears until we see the coffin. They will compromise when our army starts to march towards them." Oscar said.

"I hope so!" said Von Kidron Wachth.

Subsequently, Oscar personally gave orders to 8th Army Corps and 9th Army Corps, asking them to go to the border, pretending to march towards Russia, and intimidate Russia with force.

"This time, I want to see if those Russians have the courage to resist!" A cold look flashed in Oscar's eyes.

After receiving the order from Oscar, German 8th Army Corps and 9th Army Corps immediately left the station and headed for the border, regardless of the fact that it was still winter. Although, 8th Army Corps suffered considerable losses after annihilating Russian Southwestern Front Army. But after returning to East Prussia, it was immediately replenished. Germany's mobilization has been completed, and the second phase of mobilization has also begun, which means that they will not lack soldiers in a short period of time. Of course, if the war drags on for too long, the disadvantage of Germany's lack of troops will inevitably become apparent.

9th Army Corps, although it is a newly formed legion. However, ten Infantry Division plus one Armored Division still total more than 180,000 people. The configuration of various weapons and equipment is exactly the same as 8th Army Corps. The only thing they lack is battlefield experience. As long as they undergo the battlefield test of blood and fire, their combat effectiveness will be improved and they will become a truly elite force. Oscar proposed that Commander be replaced by General Hindenburg as 9th Army Corps because he valued General Hindenburg's talent. He believed that General Hindenburg would be able to train 9th Army Corps into a powerful force, a force loyal to him.

German military Two elite legions marched to the border and launched an attack formation. The cannons with ferocious muzzles and the dark tanks all represented powerful attack power. And this frightened all the leaders of Russian Bolshevik Party.

"What to do? What should we do now? The two elite legions of the Germany people have already marched to the border. If they launch an attack, what can we do to resist it? How can we resist it? One legion of the Germany people can kill almost two million Russian troops. If the two legions join forces, they can easily destroy us!" Joseph looked panicked.

Ulyanov, his face is also very ugly. The Germany people have now made their attitude clear, and look like they are going to attack them. Although, Ulyanov thinks that this may be Germany people trying to intimidate them. However, he did not dare to take this risk. Otherwise, once Germany is serious, the consequences will be very serious.

Ulyanov knows very well that if German military really launches an attack, even if they only invest two legions, they can wipe out all the troops they currently control. What's more, there are still a large number of troops loyal to Tsar Nicholas II, ready to attack them. By then, the situation at Russian Bolshevik Party will be extremely critical. If it doesn't work well, it will be destroyed.

"Comrade Joseph, we can't take risks. At least at this stage, we can't break up with the Germany people. Therefore, after some bargaining, let's agree to the Germany people's request!" Ulyanov said.

Between betraying the country and protecting himself, Ulyanov chose the latter.

"Yes, Leader, I understand. However, Comrade Kamenev and Comrade Trotsky are strongly opposed. If their attitudes do not change, it may be difficult for us to reach an agreement." Joseph is a little worried.

"Try to find a way! They are not confused about the situation, but we cannot let them make our revolution fail!" A trace of determination flashed in Ulyanov's eyes.
