Chapter 681: Digging Pit (Fifteenth)

  On the railway from Königsberg to Berlin, a series of military columns are moving. Behind a military column, a passenger carriage was hung. The person riding inside is the secret mission sent by Russia to Germany.

"Comrade Joseph, almost all the trains are running on this railway now! I saw that the trains were full of soldiers. What did the Germans want to do by mobilizing troops to the east in such a large scale? No, do they want to attack us?"

   "No, the Germans haven't defeated Britain yet, so they won't attack us. Besides, they have no reason to fight us on the canal." Joseph shook his head.

   "But what are these troops for?"

"These troops are probably going to deal with the guerrillas! We ceded so many territories to the Germans, but Comrade Chairman let Comrade Trotsky establish a large number of guerrillas on those territories. The Germans were busy before I don’t care about the war. But now, France and Italy have withdrawn from the war one after another. The Germans have enough power to wipe out the guerrillas. This time, the life of those guerrillas may not be easy.” Joseph sighed.

   "Then why not let the guerrillas withdraw? Our guerrillas don't even have enough weapons and equipment. How could they be the opponents of those elite German troops?"

   "This is an order from Comrade Chairman, we just need to execute it. In addition, that is a matter of the Military Commission and has nothing to do with us!" Joseph said coldly.

  The subordinate immediately shut up. He knew that the relationship between Joseph and Trotsky was not very good. The reason is also obvious, both of them want to be Ulyanov's heir. This made the two of them in conflict.

  When Joseph and his party arrived in Berlin, they were immediately picked up by the German Foreign Ministry in a car. At present, the cloth party is still considered a scourge in mainstream society. Germany is now the leading brother in the capitalist world, and naturally they don't want other countries to find out that they have links with the Burundi Party. Of course, even governments are well aware of this. But there is no definite evidence, at most privately speaking, no one dares to stand up and accuse Germany.

   That night, German Foreign Minister von Kidren Wachter met Joseph in secret.

   "Your Excellency, Minister of Foreign Affairs, congratulations to your country for defeating France and Italy one after another. Now there is only one Britain that is still struggling to support it. Your country's final victory in the war is already a certainty." Joseph congratulated.

   "It is only under His Majesty's wise leadership that the empire can achieve its current achievements." Wahit said with a smile.

   "Yes, His Majesty the Emperor of your country is the smartest person in the world!" Joseph said. He had dealt with Qin Tian a lot. At the beginning, Qin Tian was just an ordinary prince. Although he has outstanding talents in business and warship design. However, status and status determine that he may be a successful businessman in his life. But unexpectedly, now Qin Tian suddenly became the emperor of the empire. You know, he is only 27 years old! Such a young emperor, at the helm of the most powerful empire in the world. This is enough to make people all over the world envy.

   "Your Excellency, what is your purpose this time?" Wahit asked.

"Your Excellency, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Russia has been severely damaged by successive years of wars. Now the people's livelihood is dying, and the industrial base has also been destroyed. Although the White Army is still stubbornly resisting, it is no longer a concern. Therefore, we hope to buy a batch of machines from Germany. equipment, restore the country's industry," Joseph said.

  Washite nodded. Given the current situation of the Burundi Party, if they want to buy machinery and equipment, there is probably only one way to go in Germany. It is impossible for other countries to sell them.

   "Your Excellency, I will report to His Majesty. After all, such a major matter is not something I can make a decision on." Wahit said.

   Joseph nodded. If he could meet Qin Tian and discuss with Qin Tian face to face before Qin Tian became the crown prince, then now, he almost has no such opportunity.

   "Your Excellency, Minister of Foreign Affairs, we hope that the funds for purchasing machinery and equipment can be replaced by food, timber and mineral resources!" Joseph continued.

   "Okay, Commissioner, I will report the truth to His Majesty." Vashite nodded.

  The meeting between the two ended soon. Joseph went to the place where he lived to wait for the news. And Wahit went to the palace overnight to report the Russians' request to Qin Tian.

"Machine and equipment? The Russians' minds are still focused on this after all! It seems that they are also very aware of the importance of industry to the country. If they want to become stronger, it is simply unrealistic without a strong industry! "Qin Tian said with a smile. He was not at all surprised that the Russians would have such a request.

  Another time and space, didn't they do that? After defeating the White Army, they immediately tightened their belts to develop industry, and finally quickly became one of the world's industrial powers.

"Your Majesty, do we need to pinch the necks of the Russians? In the entire European continent, after the defeat of Britain, France and Italy, they are the only ones who can pose a threat to the empire, except for the Austro-Hungarian Empire. You don't often say that once Will the Russians be terrible if they develop it?" Prime Minister Bilow said.

Qin Tian shook his head: "It's obviously impossible to just stick the neck of the Russians. Even if we don't sell them machinery and equipment, others will. For example, the United States on the other side of the ocean, I'm afraid our side can There is a strong country rising. In this case, we have no way to threaten them."

   "Then shall we just watch the Russians grow stronger step by step?" asked Von Falkenhain, Minister of War and Chief of the General Staff.

   "Of course not. Since the Russians want machinery and equipment, let's sell them. They want to use food and mineral resources to pay the bill, so I agree to them. However, the proportion of food should be larger." Qin Tian said.

   "Your Majesty, you mean to use machinery and equipment to plunder food from Russia?" Prime Minister Biluo immediately grasped the point.

"Yes! After Russia lost a large area of ​​grain production, the food supply is already insufficient. If they export a large amount of grain to buy machinery and equipment, what will happen in Russia?" Qin Tian Can't help laughing.

  Qin Tian remembered that in another time and space, when Russia vigorously developed its industry, their agriculture had a good harvest every year, but famine happened every year, and I don’t know how many people were starved to death.
