Chapter 868: Ulyanov's attitude (9th update)

"Our cooperation with the Germans can continue. The Germans are willing to help us rebuild the industrial system, which is undoubtedly the best. However, we cannot completely trust the Germans. During the reconstruction of the industrial system, We must follow our wishes as much as possible, so as not to be taken advantage of by the Germans. In addition, the time must be accelerated as much as possible. The Germans may not give us such a long time at all!" Ulyanov Said.

   Ulyanov added in his mind that he himself might not be able to wait that long. He himself is very clear about his physical condition, and he probably won't be able to last much longer. The only thing he hopes is that before he closes his eyes, he can watch Buo become stronger and have the strength to fight against powerful enemies.

   "Yes, Comrade Chairman." Several others replied. Ulyanov's words undoubtedly set the tone for this cooperation. Others only have to follow orders. If violated, the consequences will be very serious.

   Ulyanov is human just like everyone else. Although it has been deified more and more, it is still human in the final analysis. Everyone has emotions and desires. Especially when you get older, you will miss the power in your hands very much. Once questioned, it is undoubtedly unbearable. Therefore, no one else dared to provoke Ulyanov at this time.

  Everyone's statement made Ulyanov very satisfied. He nodded and continued: "The third agreement is mainly that the Germans proposed to help us build a complete transportation network. What's your opinion on this?"

"Comrade Chairman, you absolutely cannot promise this to the Germans. Once the transportation facilities are perfected, the Germans will be able to attack our hinterland along these transportation lines in the future. This is definitely a huge challenge for us. Threat. The Germans definitely have bad intentions, we must reject them!" Trotsky's attitude was very firm.

   "Could it be that our army is really so vulnerable that it cannot withstand the German attack?" Ulyanov frowned, seeming a little dissatisfied.

Trotsky blushed all of a sudden, and after a few seconds, he said: "Comrade Chairman, our military strength cannot be compared with that of the Germans. They are the hegemons of the world and have the most powerful Army and Navy. It will take a long time for us to catch up with them!"

  Of course, in Trotsky's heart, he didn't think that the Russian army would ever catch up with the German army. Therefore, he believes that the poor traffic conditions in Bu Russia are actually a kind of protection for them. If there is no such protection, it will be easily defeated by the Germans.

"Your Excellency, in history, Napoleon's attack on Russia suffered a disastrous defeat, partly because of Russia's cold winter. But the main reason is that Russia's inconvenient transportation completely collapsed the logistics supplies of Napoleon's army. Therefore, Kutuzuo The scorched-earth tactic can only be effective. If one day we face a German attack, the scorched-earth tactic will probably be our last resort!" Kamenev suggested.

   Ulyanov nodded, he was not ignorant of this.

"Comrade Chairman, I think we can look at it separately. The improvement of the transportation network will certainly affect our safety. But at the same time, we can also develop our industry and economy and make us stronger. If we can On the basis of a strong country, build a powerful army. Then, we will be able to resist the Germans' attack. The transportation network will not pose a threat to us." Joseph said.

   "Comrade Joseph, this is very difficult! No matter how hard we try, it is almost impossible to have an army capable of defeating the Germans." Trotsky retorted.

   "How do you know if you don't try? If you, as the chairman of the military committee and the army and navy commissioner, don't even have confidence, then how can we expect our army to defeat the Germans?" Joseph sneered.

   "You! I am seeking truth from facts!" Trotsky's face was ashen.

   "Okay, this is a Politburo meeting, not a vegetable market! Shut up!" Ulyanov said with a dark face.

  Joseph and Trotsky had no choice but to shut up resentfully, and said nothing more.

   "Do you have any other opinions?" Ulyanov asked.

"Comrade Chairman, we may agree to this proposal of the Germans. However, it is up to us to decide how to build roads and railways and what standards to adopt. We can continue to use the railway standards of the imperial Russian era. In this case, the Germans trains cannot use our railways. As for roads, it is not too difficult to build them. But similarly, it is not difficult to destroy them. The big deal is that if the war does not go well, we will destroy those railways and roads and not give Germany People take advantage of these opportunities of railways and roads. I think, even if we break out of war with the Germans, it should be many years later. Before this time, we can take advantage of the convenient transportation network to develop our economy And industry!" Krestinsky said.

"Comrade Krestinsky's suggestion is very good. In this way, we will not only develop our industry and economy, but also ensure our security. Our security will not be truly guaranteed until our strength grows stronger." !” Joseph said immediately.

  Trotsky's complexion was as dark as the bottom of a pot.

   "Comrade Krestinsky's idea is indeed good, so let's do it in this way." Ulyanov said.

   "Comrade Chairman, let Comrade Krestinsky be in charge of this plan!" Joseph suggested.

  Ulyanov thought for a while, then nodded: "Okay, I'll leave this plan to you, no problem, right? Comrade Krestinsky."

   "No problem, Comrade Chairman, I promise to complete this task!" Krestinsky replied firmly.

   "Stupid guy! He was sold by Joseph, and he counted the money for him!" Trotsky cursed in his heart. He saw Joseph's trick. After giving this task to Krestinski, he can get out of it. In the future, even if something goes wrong with this plan, he can shirk responsibility.

   And that idiot Krestinsky foolishly accepted this task, thinking it was a good job. Later, he realized how powerful it was.
