Moscow, Kremlin. This was originally the palace of Tsar. Even though the capital of Russia was moved from Moscow to St. Petersburg, the status of Moscow's capital has not been weakened much.
After Bolshevik Party overthrew the rule of Tsar, he set the capital at Moscow. The main reason is because St. Petersburg is too close to Germany.
Baltic States has been ceded to the Germany people. If the Germany people send troops from Estonia, it will only take a few days to defeat St. Petersburg. Finland will also establish an independent country with the support of Germany people. Any fool can guess that Finland after independence is also controlled by Germany people. In this case, German military can also launch an attack from Finland to St. Petersburg. Therefore, if we continue to keep the capital in St. Petersburg, this will put the entire Russian Bolshevik Party in crisis.
After Treaty of Brest-Litovsk signed, Bolshevik Party finally withdrew from the war and was able to deal with the White Army who were loyal to the Romanov Dynasty wholeheartedly. After more than half a year of fighting, they had basically stabilized the situation and began to have an overwhelming advantage.
However, Ulyanov, as Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars, felt no joy at this moment. In his office, senior leaders of Bolshevik Party and senior military commanders gathered here.
"Everyone, our battle against the White Army is about to end. Kolchak and Dönitz can't hold on for long. Soon, our Red Flag will be inserted into the entire Russia." Ulyanov said.
All the Bolshevik Party leaders and military generals present here showed joy on their faces. Their revolution can only be considered a victory after completely defeating White Army. Otherwise, there is a possibility of being counterattacked by the White Army at any time. When the revolution is victorious, leaders like them who have worked hard and made great achievements will not have to have such a difficult time. At least, the treatment is much better than now.
"However, our party and country are still in crisis. In our West, a huge Empire is rising. They will soon become the overlord of the entire Europe. If they want to launch an attack on us, can our army withstand their attack?" Ulyanov asked.
Suddenly, the faces of all the generals turned pale. As generals, they naturally know the combat effectiveness of the troops they lead. When bullying White Army, who has low morale, he is certainly invincible. However, it would undoubtedly be too difficult for them to fight against the German Army, the most powerful player in the world. Or even use them to die.
"Comrade Chairman, we have a close relationship with Germany and have signed a peace treaty. The Germany people will not tear up the treaty and launch an attack on us, right?" Joseph asked bravely. After all, he has always been responsible for contacting Germany among Russian Bolshevik Party. He also has a close relationship with Germany. Once Germany and Bolshevik Party fall out, he will definitely bear the brunt of the suppression.
"Hmph! Comrade Joseph. Don't trust the Germany people too much. After all, Germany is also one of the most powerful Empire attentions in the world. If there are enough interests, I can guarantee that the Germany people will betray us," Ulyanov said with great certainty.
"Comrade Chairman, what should we do?" Member of the Organizational Bureau Krestinsky was a little worried.
After all, compared to Russia controlled by Bolshevik Party, German Empire is simply too powerful. If German Empire wants to take action against Russia, they will definitely not be able to stop it.
"The Germany people won't take action against us yet. They just defeated French. The peace treaty with France and Italy just ended. Next, they still have to attack Britain launched an attack. In addition, the Germany people suffered a lot in this war, so there is no possibility of the Germany people attacking us." Trotsky said.
"Comrade Trotsky, what do you think of Germany?" Ulyanov asked.
"Comrade Chairman, there is no doubt that Germany is on the verge of defeating World War and becoming the world's hegemon. Under such circumstances, Russia should not fall out with Germany, let alone provoke Germany, lest they take advantage of the situation. Although we have signed a peace treaty with the Germany people, the appetite of the Germany people is getting bigger and bigger. One day, the Germany people will go to war with us." Trotsky said
"Your Excellency, I suggest that after our war with the White Army is over, we should immediately find ways to strengthen the relationship with the Germany people. Get one from the Germany people. Only with the development of industry can we produce advanced and powerful weapons and equipment and have the strength to fight against the threats posed by the Germany people." Trotsky continued.
Ulyanov nodded, Russia's industry was originally underdeveloped, which made it impossible for their army to even have one rifle per person during the war, let alone other advanced weapons and equipment. Facing an army armed to the teeth, relying solely on courage and belief is obviously not enough. Trotsky As the founder and leader of the Bolshevik Party army, he has seen this problem deeply.
"We can not only buy the advanced machinery and equipment we need from Germany people, but also from other places, such as Austro-Hungarian Empire or United States. Especially United States, they only care about money and don't care about anything else. So, as long as we have money, we can buy what we want." Joseph also said.
"Yes, the Germany people are too powerful. They not only pose a serious threat to us, but also pose a serious threat to United States on the other side of the ocean. If we can unite with Americans to deal with the Germany people, our situation will be much better." Kamenev also said.
Although United States is also a capitalist country and even sent troops to attack Russia together with the Japanese, there are no permanent friends in this world, only permanent interests. In the presence of a common enemy, even the enemy who killed his father can still have a good time over wine, let alone two countries. Exchanges between countries are more realistic.
"Okay, everyone. I know everyone's opinions. I will think about it and then tell everyone my decision!" Ulyanov said.
Now Ulyanov has become more powerful, unlike when he signed "Treaty of Brest-Litovsk", he was still in the minority within the Bolshevik Party.
