Chapter 1588: Refused (ask for a monthly ticket)
As for the very harsh peace conditions proposed by Germany, this is nothing in Molotov\'s eyes. Anyway, it was Russia, the country, not an individual who paid such a heavy price. He himself can still get a lot of benefits from it. Anyway, it is normal for the victorious country to slaughter the defeated country. Germany\'s slaughter of defeated countries has always been very cruel.
The German side also hopes that the supreme leader of Russia is a person who is pro-German. Although the weakened Russia is weak and can no longer pose any threat to Germany. However, Germany still does not want Russia to be hostile to Germany. In that case, it will also involve part of Germany\'s military power. It is very detrimental to Germany\'s ongoing war and the consolidation of its world dominance.
Germany is very satisfied with Molotov\'s promise. And Molotov is also willing to cooperate with Germany. This allowed the two parties to reach an agreement that nothing could stand in the way. After this peace negotiation is over, Germany will fully support Molotov as the supreme leader of Russia.
"Your Excellency, Minister of Foreign Affairs, I personally have no objection to these conditions proposed by your country. Even my allies, Comrades Kalinin and Comrades Mikoyan, would agree. , he will definitely refuse. Therefore, it may be very difficult for Russia to pass these conditions." Molotov said.
"Your Excellency, I don\'t need to bother you about this. The German Empire will let Andreev know that our will cannot be defied." Ribbentrop smiled.
Seeing the smile on Ribbentrop\'s face, Molotov immediately understood the other party\'s intentions. If Chelyabinsk really dared to refuse, then the Germans might really have to use war to persecute them. In the face of Germany\'s powerful combat power, Chelyabinsk has absolutely no other choice but to surrender. After all, unless they retreat all the way east, or even leave Russia. Otherwise, Germany\'s military pressure will make them unable to cope.
Molotov didn\'t say much, he knew it was inevitable. As for how to choose, it is a matter for Chelyabinsk. Everything has nothing to do with him.
That afternoon, Molotov\'s entourage reported the conditions proposed by the German side to Chelyabinsk. When these conditions were presented to Andreyev and other members of the Politburo, they were all stunned.
"Damn the Germans, they are slaughtering us wantonly. If they agree to their conditions, can Russia continue to exist? That guy Molotov, how did he negotiate with the Germans? It\'s basically You are betraying your country and seeking glory!" Andreev cursed even louder.
That night, at the request of Andreyev, Russia held another Politburo meeting. Marshal Shaposhnikov also attended this meeting. Although he is not a member of the Politburo, he holds the army in his hands and has no less power than a member of the Politburo. Even more influential.
"Comrades, have you all read the telegram sent back by Comrade Molotov? I find it hard to believe that Comrade Molotov would bring such an offer. Look at what the Germans offered. Conditions? Not only must we further cede territory to them, but also split our country into two countries. Among them, the country established on the Eastern European Plain will undoubtedly become their puppet. In addition, the lions With a big mouth, he proposed war reparations of up to 100 billion marks to us. We simply can’t get such a sum of money!” Andreev fired at Molotov at the beginning of the meeting.
Although, Molotov was absent from this meeting. But this did not prevent Andreyev from putting the **** bowl on Molotov\'s head. This is undoubtedly a good opportunity to defeat Molotov, and even remove Molotov\'s threat to him in one fell swoop. Of course, the wily Andreev will not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"The Germans are powerful now, and Comrade Molotov has no way to refuse such harsh conditions they have proposed," Mikoyan said.
"Yes, besides, Comrade Molotov didn\'t have the conditions to defeat the Germans. He just conveyed the Germans\' conditions. The decision is still in the hands of the Politburo." Kalinin also said.
Molotov was absent from the meeting. Kalinin and Mikoyan, two people who wore the same trousers with Molotov, of course had to stand up and speak for Molotov. It\'s just that, compared to Andreev and his supporters, the two of them are really alone.
"If Molotov was thinking about Russia, he should not have forwarded the Germans\' conditions back to the Politburo at all, but should have directly rejected the Germans\' conditions. In this case, wouldn\'t the pressure be shifted to the Politburo?" Zhdanov said.
"Yes, it is really wrong for Molotov to do this. If it were me, I should reject the unreasonable demands of the Germans in person!" Kaganovich also said.
Obviously, Andreyev\'s supporters are starting to make trouble.
Mikoyan and Kalinin, facing such a situation, their expressions became very ugly. But fortunately, they all knew what Molotov was planning. So even in the face of the siege of Andreyev and his henchmen, they were not worried. They knew that as long as they had the support of the Germans, even if Andreyev and others objected, it would be meaningless.
Andreyev was very satisfied when he saw this situation, and he felt that the overall situation was settled.
"Comrade Andreyev, are we going to reject these conditions put forward by the Germans?" Kalinin asked.
"Of course, the Germans slaughtered us wantonly. We will never agree to such a condition!" Andreyev took it for granted.
Neither Kalinin nor Mikoyan said much, but there was a smile on their faces.
Marshal Shaposhnikov shook his head helplessly, looking at Andreyev more like an idiot.
