Chapter 1586: Harsh conditions (ask for a monthly ticket)

  After the war, Moscow no longer has the style of the Russian capital. The entire city was battered to pieces during the war and became a ruin. The densely packed prisoner-of-war camps outside the city have become a unique landscape. However, a large number of Russian prisoners of war participated in the reconstruction of Moscow during the day.

  Although, when the Russian army surrendered, the German army promised that they would not force them to do labor. However, the Germans took a different approach. That is, those who participate in labor will get food. Under such circumstances, if they do not want to starve to death, Russian prisoners of war can only participate in labor.

  With the efforts of a large number of Russian prisoners of war, the ruins of Moscow are being cleared away bit by bit. As for reconstruction, we have to wait until the new Russian government is formed.

  When Molotov’s transport plane flew over Moscow, he saw through the porthole the ruined city below, and Molotov was filled with emotion.

  Russia used to be one of the many powerful countries in the world. Strong industrial strength and huge military power give them the capital to challenge Germany. But unfortunately, it is precisely because of its strong strength that the self-confidence of Russian leaders has skyrocketed. It ended up like this. Otherwise, Russia would not have become like this, and so many people would not have died in the war.

   Of course, Molotov also knows that as Russia develops, it becomes stronger and stronger. Germany will do something to Russia sooner or later. In order to maintain its world dominance, Germany will never watch a powerful Russia appear by its side. Therefore, this war is completely inevitable.

  The plane landed at Moscow Airport, and German Foreign Minister Ribbentrop, who arrived earlier, was already waiting at the airport.

  When Molotov got off the plane, he saw Ribbentrop waving to him, and hurried over.

  Ribbentrop served as the special representative of Germany to Russia, and also had a lot of shouts with Molotov. Therefore, the two can be regarded as acquaintances. But it was precisely because of this that Molotov also knew that the peace talks this time might be more difficult than he imagined. Because, he knew that Ribbentrop was a very difficult person to deal with.

   However, Molotov is also ready. He knew that Germany would not let go of this opportunity, and would definitely kill Russia severely. This is already unavoidable.

   "Hello, Commissioner, I'm glad to see you again!" Ribbentrop's face was full of a smile that a winner should have.

   "Hello, Your Excellency, Minister of Foreign Affairs. Congratulations, you have won the war. And I believe that you will soon win the final victory of this war." Molotov said.

  Since you lost, you must admit defeat. Molotov had already recognized reality. Therefore, he simply surrendered to the Germans and was willing to accept the punishment due to the defeated.

   "Your Excellency, no matter what, this **** war is over. We should find a way to avoid similar tragedies from happening again." Ribbentrop said.

   Molotov nodded, now the Germans say what they say. There is nothing to argue about. Anyway, Germany has won the victory, so, as the victor, Germany should obtain a series of benefits that the winner should have.

   After the pleasantries, Ribbentrop and Molotov drove to the negotiation location that had already been arranged.

   Negotiations will officially begin soon.

"Your Excellency, this war was Russia's first attack on Germany. It caused Germany to pay a very high price in this war. Therefore, Russia should compensate Germany for its losses! Do you have any objections to this point?" asked Ribbentrop.

  Molotov shook his head, this war was launched by Joseph on his own will. Now, Joseph had committed suicide, and they had to suffer the consequences of it all.

   "The German Empire hopes that Russia can cede the territory south of the Don River and the Volga River, including the entire Caucasus region, to the German Empire. Let this area become the territory directly under the German Empire." Ribbentrop said with a smile.

   Molotov couldn't help feeling tense. Even if he was prepared to be slaughtered by the Germans. However, the Germans were about to slaughter a piece of fertile territory in Russia, even including the important Baku oil field. This is undoubtedly a great weakening of Russia!

   "In addition, the territory of the Kingdom of Belarus occupied by Russia should also be returned to the Kingdom of Belarus." Ribbentrop continued.

   "I have no right to make decisions about these conditions in your country. However, I will report to Chelyabinsk and the Politburo will decide." Molotov said.

   Ribbentrop nodded, of course he knew that Molotov was negotiating on behalf of Russia. However, in the face of these harsh conditions, Molotov certainly had no right to agree.

"Your Excellency, we plan to re-establish a Russia on Russian territory. That is, the Russian territory west of the Ural Mountains and the Ural River will be a democratic Russia. The territory east of the Ural Mountains and the Ural River will continue to be controlled by you. ' continued Ribbentrop.

   Molotov's expression changed drastically. Although, most of Russia's territory is in Asia east of the Ural Mountains and the Ural River. However, the Eastern European Plain is the core territory of Russia. Without these territories, even though Russia has a huge territory, it will be reduced to a small and insignificant country.

  The Germans obviously wanted to split Russia in one fell swoop and completely remove Russia's threat to Germany.

   "Your Excellency, Minister of Foreign Affairs, such a condition is too harsh. It is impossible for us to agree to such a condition and watch our country be divided!" Molotov said.

   "Your Excellency, do you still have a choice? The will of the German Empire cannot be changed even by God!" Ribbentrop insisted.

   Molotov fell silent for a moment. He knew that even if Russia objected, Germany would definitely push through the plan. Even, Russia's opposition is useless at all. Germans don't care at all.

"Your Excellency, if you disagree, then this war will not end. Our army will continue to attack eastward. At that time, what choice should you make?" Ribbentrop continued asked.

  Molotov thought for a while, and then said: "I will report to Chelyabinsk!"
