BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1587: hook up
Molotov nodded, but said nothing more. In any case, the harsh conditions put forward by Germany are a very unacceptable result for Russia.
"In addition to the above conditions, Germany has two requirements. The newly established democratic Russia and you will share the war indemnity of 100 billion marks. These war indemnities must be paid in full within twenty years." Ribbentrop continued.
"His Excellency, Minister of Foreign Affairs, is 100 billion marks too much? Especially after our country is divided, we don\'t have enough financial resources to afford so much war reparations." Molotov said.
Although he knows that land cession and compensation are indispensable in negotiations. However, the Germans not only wanted to split Russia, but also offered so many war reparations like a lion, which still shocked Molotov.
"Your Excellency, the war indemnity is not much. In fact, our consumption in this war is much more than this. As for how to pay back the money, it is easier. If there is no money, it will be expensive." The country can sell resources. The Ural Mountains and the east of the Ural River are rich in natural resources. Germany can purchase these resources. Your country can use these resources to replace war reparations!" Ribbentrop Said.
The German government has already considered how to plunder more wealth from the Russians.
Molotov knew that he also had no way to refuse: "I will report to Chelyabinsk."
Faced with various harsh conditions proposed by Germany, Molotov had no way to refuse. The only thing he can do is to report to Chelyabinsk as an excuse to hand over the decision to Chelyabinsk.
Ribbentrop nodded: "The last condition is that Russia\'s military power must be controlled. This is the case for both Russias. The number of troops cannot exceed 500,000, and the navy and air force are not allowed. Second-line armed forces such as the police The total number of forces must not exceed the number of regular troops."
Restricting Russia\'s military power is a condition that Germany attaches the most importance to. Only in this way can it be ensured that Russia no longer poses a threat to Germany. Of course, the democratic Russia supported on the plains of Eastern Europe will be a pro-German Russia. They would also serve as a German barrier on the Eastern Front. Even if Russia\'s strength can be developed again in the future, if it wants to pose a threat to Germany, it must first defeat Democratic Russia. In that case, it is enough to leave enough time for Germany to react.
"Your Excellency, Minister of Foreign Affairs, I will report to Chelyabinsk." Molotov still said this.
"Very well, Commissioner. I hope that your leaders in Chelyabinsk can fully recognize the reality. In this case, it will be very beneficial to both of us. This war should end, if the war continues If it goes on, it will be bad for us. More importantly, Russia may be completely destroyed!" Ribbentrop finally said.
Obviously, the threat in Ribbentrop\'s words is very strong. If Russia rejected these German conditions, then the German army would undoubtedly continue to attack. With the remaining strength of the Russian army, it is almost impossible to resist the German attack.
"Your Excellency, Minister of Foreign Affairs, I will convey your words to the Chelyabinsk side. As for what kind of decision they will make, it is not up to me to decide. After all, I am a member of the Politburo Only one vote," Molotov said.
Ribbentrop nodded, he was very clear about the current situation in Russia. In fact, German intelligence agencies have long known that the Russian leaders in Chelyabinsk have begun to fight for power. And this is undoubtedly what Germany wants to see. Only in this way can Germany take advantage of this opportunity to fish in troubled waters and gain greater benefits.
"Your Excellency, we are old friends, and we know your ability very well. I believe that among the leaders of Russia, no one is more suitable to be the leader of Russia than you." Ribbentrop said .
Ribbentrop\'s words immediately made Molotov happy. Originally, the displeasure caused by these harsh conditions proposed by the German side disappeared.
Molotov knew that if the German side could support him, then his succession as the supreme leader of Russia would be a certainty. No matter how many people supported Andreyev, it would be of no use.
"Your Excellency, Minister of Foreign Affairs, it would be the best if I could take on more responsibilities. However, I do not have the upper hand in the Politburo. On the contrary, Comrade Andreyev has won the support of more people." Support. However, Comrade Andreyev’s thinking is closer to that of Comrade Joseph. Once Comrade Andreyev becomes the supreme leader of Russia, it may not be a good thing for Germany.” Molo Tove started talking.
Ribbentrop nodded: "Yes, Comrade Molotov. We would not like to see an anti-German person become the supreme leader of Russia. Otherwise, we will take all costs to obliterate all threaten."
After Molotov heard it in his heart, he was even more satisfied. The German side showed dissatisfaction with Andreyev, which is undoubtedly an opportunity for him.
"Yes, Your Excellency, Minister of Foreign Affairs. The suffering caused by this war has been very serious. The war cannot be allowed to break out again." Molotov said.
"Your Excellency, if Germany fully supports you as the supreme leader of Russia, what will you do?" Ribbentrop said straight to the point.
The smile on Molotov\'s face could no longer be concealed: "Your Excellency, Minister of Foreign Affairs, I am very happy to be a friend of the German Empire. If I can become the supreme leader of Russia, then Russia under my leadership must be There will be no more enemies with Germany. Our two countries will be close allies!"
