Joseph and his group got on the train, left Berlin with satisfaction, and returned to Moscow. Although he was not able to meet Oscar during this trip, the results achieved made him very satisfied.
German government fully accepted the trade request made by Russian Bolshevik Party. However, half of the payment they require must be replaced by food. The rest was replaced with wood and Mineral Resources.
Although Russia is now very short of food, Joseph does not think there is anything wrong with this request. After all, Germany has always been short of food, so he will naturally ask for as much food as possible. As for whether this will have any bad impact on Russia, Joseph doesn't care. Although he knew that this might cause many people to starve to death, he didn't care so much. His mission is to get Germany to agree to trade with Russia. Now, his mission is complete. As for the rest, he didn't consider it.
Joseph doesn't know how crazy Bolshevik Party will be in order to obtain more machines and equipment. They arbitrarily snatched the last grain of grain from the farmers, regardless of their life or death. Even if those farmers were starved to death, they didn't care. In their view, as long as the country's industry can be developed again and some humble farmers die, what's the point?
"Your Majesty, Russians actually agreed to our conditions. Don't they know that many people will starve to death?" Prime Minister Bülow looked surprised.
"The leaders of Bolshevik Party don't care about the life and death of ordinary Russians. Anyway, the population of Russia is too large and some will starve to death. When Empire fights with them in the future, they will face fewer Russia* troops. This is very beneficial to us!" Oscar said.
Of course Oscar knows what a big threat it will pose to Germany if Russia's industry develops. If possible, he certainly hopes to block Russia so that Russia's industry will never be able to recover and develop. In this case, it will be very easy for Germany to defeat Russia in the future. But Oscar knows that even if Germany does not sell equipment to Russia, they can still obtain those equipment from other places. For example, United States on the other side of the ocean, they must be very happy to make Russia strong again. In this case, Germany's energy will be firmly restrained on European continent and will not pose the greatest threat to United States.
So, instead of trading Americans and Russians, make huge profits from Russia. Then it is better to let Germany do this business. It also enables Germany to earn enough profits from it. What's more, they can also secretly plot against Russians and make Russians pay a greater price for this. In this case, it is most beneficial to Germany.
Prime Minister Bülow nodded, although it seemed a bit too despicable for such a Scheming Against Russia person. However, for the sake of the Empire's interests, what does it mean to be mean? As long as Empire can develop more powerfully, that will be enough.
"By the way, let Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Russians get in touch. We are very happy to help Russians develop its industry and economy. In this regard, our two countries can have in-depth exchanges and cooperation!" Oscar continued.
"Your Majesty, is this going to make Russia more powerful?" Prime Minister Bülow felt that his brain was not enough. Russia will definitely become the enemy of the Empire in the future. If Russia becomes stronger, it will obviously cause trouble for itself! At that time, if Russia is to be defeated, Empire will have to pay a greater price and let more young men die on the battlefield.
"Prime Minister, I know what you are worried about. Don't worry, I am doing this entirely for the Scheming Against Russia people. Russia's traffic conditions are too bad. Once we want to destroy If Russia is killed, those muddy roads will become our biggest enemy. Therefore, when we help Russians develop industry and economy, we will also help. Russians develops transportation. Help Russians plan a large number of railways and roads. This will certainly make Russia develop faster and stronger. However, once the war breaks out, those railways and roads will allow Empire's army to advance quickly, and if they are lucky, they can even fight to Moscow." Oscar continued.
Prime Minister Bülow opened his mouth wide, as if he couldn't believe it. After all, this is too exaggerated. Russians is not a fool, how could they agree? But he also knew that this would be very beneficial to the Empire. Once Empire's plan is really realized, Empire may be able to completely defeat Russia and destroy them.
"Your Majesty, I will let Ministry of Foreign Affairs try his best to handle this matter. I hope Russians will agree to cooperate with us!" Prime Minister Bülow said.
Oscar nodded.
After Bülow left, Oscar was also thinking about the possibility of success of this plan.
The reason why Napoleon's attack on Russia failed was not so much that it was lost to Russians, but rather that it was lost to the cold winter and poor logistics. Russia's territory is so vast, which gives them a jaw-dropping depth. Coupled with poor transportation facilities, this will drive all the troops attacking Russia crazy with logistics.
Isn't it the same for German military in another time and space? Führer's millions of troops attacked Russia and achieved great success in the early stage, destroying a large number of the Russian army's effective forces. However, Russia's poor transportation and huge depth made it impossible to fill it up even after millions of troops were filled in. In the end, Russians not only defended the capital, but also began to counterattack with huge force, leaving German military defeated.
Oscar became the emperor of the Empire. He knew that there would be a battle between the Empire and Russians sooner or later. Russian Bolshevik Party wants to liberate the whole world, and Germany, the world hegemon and the boss of the capitalist world, has become the one they must defeat. And Oscar is not willing to let Germany exist in a country that can threaten Germany's security. Therefore, he hopes to defeat Russia in one fell swoop during the war. If you do this, Germany's position will be consolidated and the threat will be eliminated.
"I hope God will bless you and Russians can agree to vigorously develop transportation! By then, Germany and the powerful Armored Forces will be able to Along the roads and railways, we will reach Moscow and other Russia cities. Then, this battle will be much easier!" Oscar murmured.
