"Our cooperation with the Germany people can continue. The Germany people are willing to help us rebuild the industrial system, which is undoubtedly the best. However, we cannot completely trust the Germany people. In the reconstruction of the industrial system During the process, we must follow our wishes as much as possible to avoid being taken advantage of by Germany people. In addition, Germany people must speed up the process as much as possible, and Germany people may not give us that long at all!" Ulyanov said.
Ulyanov added in his mind that he himself might not be able to wait that long. He is also very aware of his physical condition, and he may not be able to hold on for much longer. The only thing he hopes is that before he closes his eyes, he can watch Buru become stronger and have the strength to fight against powerful enemies.
"Yes, Comrade Chairman." Several others replied. Ulyanov's words undoubtedly set the tone for this collaboration. Others only have to follow orders. If violated, the consequences will be very serious.
Ulyanov is human just like everyone else. Although he has become more and more deified, he is still human in the final analysis. Everyone has emotions and desires. Especially as you get older, you will miss the power in your hands very much. Once questioned, it is undoubtedly intolerable. Therefore, no one else dares to provoke Ulyanov at this time.
Everyone's expressions made Ulyanov very satisfied. He nodded and continued, "The third agreement is mainly about Germany people's offer to help us build a complete transportation network. What do you think about this?"
"Comrade Chairman, we absolutely cannot agree to the Germany people. Once the transportation facilities are improved, then the Germany people will be able to launch attacks on our hinterland along these transportation lines in the future. This is definitely a great threat to us. The Germany people are definitely ill-intentioned, and we must reject them!" Trotsky's attitude is very determined.
"Is our army really that vulnerable and unable to withstand the Germany people's attack?" Ulyanov frowned, seeming a little dissatisfied.
Trotsky suddenly suppressed his face and turned red. After a few seconds, he said, "Comrade Chairman, our military strength cannot be compared with the Germany people. They are the world's hegemons and have the most powerful army and navy. If we want to catch up with them, it will take a very long time!"
Of course, in Trotsky's heart, he did not think that Buru's army would ever catch up with German military. Therefore, he believes that Buru's poor traffic conditions are a kind of protection for them. Without this kind of protection, it would be easy to be defeated by Germany people.
"Your Excellency. Historically, Napoleon's attack on Russia failed miserably. One of the reasons was because of Russia's cold winter. But the main reason was Russia's inconvenient transportation. Napoleon's army's logistics supply has completely collapsed. Therefore, Kutuzov's scorched earth tactics will be effective if one day we face an attack by the Germany people," Kamenev suggested.
Ulyanov nodded, he didn't know this.
"Comrade Chairman, I think we can look at it separately. The improvement of the transportation network will certainly affect our security. But at the same time, we can also develop our industry and economy to make us stronger. If we can build a strong army on the basis of a strong country, then we will be able to withstand the Germany people's attack. The transportation network will not pose a threat to us." Joseph said.
"Comrade Joseph, this is very difficult! No matter how hard we try, it is almost impossible to have an army that can defeat the Germany people." Trotsky retorted.
"How do you know if you don't try? If you don't even have confidence in being Chairman of the Military Committee and Commissar of the Army and Navy, then how can we expect our army to defeat the Germany people?" Joseph sneered.
"You! I am seeking truth from facts!" Trotsky's face was ashen.
"Okay, this is a Politburo meeting, not a vegetable market! Shut up, everyone!" Ulyanov said with a dark face.
Joseph and Trotsky had no choice but to shut up angrily and say no more.
"Do you have any other opinions?" Ulyanov asked.
"Comrade Chairman, we may be able to agree to this suggestion from Germany people. However, it is up to us to decide how to build roads and railways and what standards to adopt. We can continue to use the railway standards of the Imperial Russia period. In this case, Germany people's trains will not be able to use our railways. As for roads, it is not difficult to build them. But equally, it is necessary to destroy them. It's not difficult. At worst, if the war doesn't go well, we will destroy those railways and roads and not give the Germany people the opportunity to use them. I think that even if a war breaks out between us and the Germany people, it will be many years later. During this time, we can use the convenient transportation network to develop our economy and industry!" Krestinsky said.
"Comrade Krestinsky's suggestion is very good. In this way, it will not only develop our industry and economy, but also ensure our security. Only when we become stronger will our security be truly guaranteed!" Joseph said immediately.
Trotsky's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.
"Comrade Krestinsky's idea is indeed a good one, so let's follow this method." Ulyanov said.
"Comrade Chairman, let Comrade Krestinsky be in charge of this plan!" Joseph suggested.
Ulyanov thought for a while, then nodded. "Okay, I'll leave this plan to you. Is there no problem? Comrade Krestinsky."
"No problem, Comrade Chairman, I promise to complete this task!" Krestinsky answered decisively.
"Stupid guy! You were sold by that guy Joseph, and you even helped him count the money!" Trotsky cursed in his heart. He saw Joseph's trick. After giving this task to Krestinsky, he can get out of it. Even if there is any problem with this plan in the future, he can shirk responsibility.
And that idiot Krestinsky foolishly accepted this task, thinking it was a good job. Only later did he realize how powerful it was.
