Chapter 867: Fierce competition (eighth update)

   Joseph left the Kremlin and sat in his car. At this time, he could no longer restrain the ecstasy in his heart. A smile immediately filled his face.

   This conversation with Ulyanov made him very satisfied and he gained a lot. He never thought that being able to concurrently serve as a naval commissioner would be tantamount to snatching a piece of fat from Trotsky's hands! Although, the navy is far inferior to the army, but it is always the army. After the power expands to the army, this will greatly increase Joseph's strength from now on. Although it is still impossible to overtake Trotsky, at least it can fight against him.

   More importantly, this seems to represent Ulyanov's meaning. This will definitely make other neutral people think. If they can turn to Joseph because of this, it will be a great thing for Joseph.

  The next day, a meeting of the Politburo of the Burundi Party was held in the small conference room of the Kremlin. Now there are only five members of the Politburo of the Burundi Party. Ulyanov is the chairman of the People’s Committee, Kamenev is the chairman of Moscow, Krestinsky is a member of the Organization Bureau, Joseph is a member of the Organization Bureau, and the People’s Committee for Ethnic Affairs Commissioner, Workers and Peasants Inspection Commissioner and Foreign Affairs Commissioner. Trotsky was Chairman of the Revolutionary Military Council and a member of the Army and Navy of the People's Committee.

  These people are the top leaders of Bu Russia.

"Everyone, Comrade Joseph successfully visited Germany. He also held talks with Kaiser Wilhelm III and reached a series of agreements that are very beneficial to our party and our country. Let us applaud him and thank him for his party and country. hard work!" Ulyanov praised highly.

   "Papa papa!"

   Applause rang out immediately, although it seemed sparse because there were too few people applauding. However, with the identities of these people, they were able to applaud Joseph, which already made him very satisfied.

"Thank you, thank you! All these achievements can only be achieved under the leadership of Comrade Chairman. Without the wise leadership of Comrade Chairman, I would not have been able to successfully complete the task during my visit to the German Empire!" Of course, Joseph did not dare to take credit for it , All the credit needs to be attributed to Ulyanov's wise leadership.

  Trotsky's face was not very good-looking. Ulyanov praised Joseph so highly, which was somewhat beyond his expectations. However, this is obviously not a good thing for him. You know, he is also determined to win Ulyanov's position. When the revolution succeeded, his prestige was not as high as that of Ulyanov, so Ulyanov became the leader. If after Ulyanov's death, he can't become the supreme leader of the Burundi Party and Burusa, this makes him unacceptable.

  Trotsky thought that Joseph was far from being able to compare with him in terms of qualifications, ability, or strength. Therefore, in the competition with Joseph, Trotsky has always had the advantage. However, now Ulyanov's attitude has changed. It is not a good thing for him to change from neutrality to Joseph.

"Comrades, Kaiser Wilhelm III has agreed to let those Russians in the German-occupied area return to our motherland family in the spring. This will greatly promote our national strength. At the same time, it can also Prevent our party from suffering greater losses. Comrade Joseph has done a very good job of making Germany make such a retreat," Ulyanov said.

   Regarding the first agreement reached between Joseph and Germany, the top leaders of the Burundi Party have no objections. Although, this proved that their penetration into new German territories had failed. However, at least part of the strength can be preserved. For the Bu Party and Bu Russia, this is already a rare victory.

  However, they would not find out until spring that under the siege of the German army, there were not many guerrillas and cloth party members left. I don't know how many outstanding talents died in the hands of the Germans. This is definitely a heavy blow for Bu Russia.

   On this issue, Trotsky remained silent and did not attack it. Because he knew that if it were him, he wouldn't be able to do better than this.

   "In the second agreement, the Germans have agreed to support us in rebuilding the industrial system. We will use agricultural products and mineral resources to pay for the required expenses. What do you think about this?" Ulyanov asked.

"Comrade Chairman, rebuilding the entire industrial system will be a huge project. The number of factories to be built will be measured in thousands. The cost of funds is even more immeasurable. And we will not be able to spend so much money in a short period of time." In that case, the construction period may take ten years or even longer. In addition, our previous transactions with the Germans were based on agricultural products and mineral resources. This has already made our people’s lives very difficult. If we continue to use agricultural products to trade with the Germans, the consequences will be even more serious," Kamenev said.

  Ulyanov's expression became a little unnatural.

   "Can't our food production be further increased?" Ulyanov asked.

"Comrade Chairman, the loss of Ukraine, half of Belarus and the three Baltic countries has reduced our grain production area a lot. Naturally, the grain output will not be much higher. In addition, there is an extreme shortage of agricultural materials such as pesticides and fertilizers, which makes Our grain yield has been restricted," Kamenev continued.

"In our agreement with the Germans, the industrial system also includes pesticide factories and fertilizer factories. When those factories are completed and put into operation, we will not be short of pesticides and fertilizers. Food production will naturally increase. .Although, now we will have a hard time for a while. However, when our industry is restored, our people will be able to live a good life. I believe that our people can understand this. Only with a strong industry , our country can become stronger, and we don't have to look at other people's faces, and we don't have to worry about being invaded by the enemy, so that we can finally achieve the goal of liberating all mankind!" Joseph said.

"But, will the Germans be so kind to help us rebuild our industry? Don't forget, we are adjacent to Germany. Once our strength becomes stronger, it will not be a good thing for the Germans." Trotsky said .

   "Germany is the world's hegemon, maybe they don't pay attention to us at all. After all, in terms of strength, the gap between us and them is too big!" Joseph said.
