    21:30, August 10, 1918, Volga Federation, Samara Government Building, Small Conference Room of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs

    "Comrade People's Commissar of Foreign Affairs, the Germans are now desperate to sue for peace with us on the Eastern Front. What are Moscow's plans? Just now I accepted the so-called tripartite talks in order to allow you and Comrade Joffe to explain to Moscow. Now,  It seems that secret bilateral consultations are needed to achieve a breakthrough. The Soviet Union organized this delegation just to help Ludendorff, right? "

    While driving the German envoy and Joffe back to the guest house for a while, Pepe, the Prime Minister of the Volga Federation, and Chicherin, the Soviet People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs, old rivals and old acquaintances who had concluded the "Samara Peace Treaty", turned around and entered.  In a small conference room, they said it was a casual chat, but everyone knew that time was running out. Moscow had to dig out any chips it had. If it was too late, the Germans would throw them out as chips, but there would be less room for maneuver.

    "Vasily Nikolayevich, how can you say that the Germans are all enemies of Russia? This cannot be doubted or denied. Comrades in the Central Committee of the Soviet Union in Moscow, please ask me to say hello to you, the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, and  "I would like to convey Moscow's sincere greetings to your Commander-in-Chief of the Federal Armed Forces, His Excellency Wang Geng. Regarding the issue of the Demilitarized Buffer Zone on the Volga River, we all owed a favor, right?"

    Chicherin affectionately held the hand of Pepelyaev, who was ten years younger than him. It would be hard to overstate this diplomat with a goatee and a cheerful smile. The Volga Federation and the Soviet Union were both Russia.  People's political power, and since Pepe became the Prime Minister of the Federal Cabinet, under the influence of the King of China, he has moved from the second generation of a playboy to a promising young Prime Minister of a big country. The relationship between the two  The relationship is really harmonious.

    "Don't worry about this. In fact, the Volga Federation does not want the Soviet Red Army to fight to the death with Kolchak's people. But how can I put it, your land policy and Bolshevism are unacceptable to us, indeed we cannot accept them.  How can we incite the common people to rebel all day long if they are from the same ethnic group? If they share the land, grain, and livestock of the landlords with the peasants, are they still proletarians? If everything from the landlords' households is divided by you, wouldn't they also become proletarians?  Why should class be eliminated from society?¡±

    Pepe narrowed his eyes and looked at Chicherin, who was ten years older than him. If Pepe was born into a low-class noble family like a palace guard in Tsarist Russia, then Chicherin was a child of a bureaucratic family in the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.  In a sense, Chicherin can only be a good valet and housekeeper, while Pepe can play the role of a master and survive the Cheka's purge. The People's Commissar of Foreign Affairs cannot  Easy.

    "Aha Mr. Prime Minister, we won't discuss this tonight I remember you said that after Pandora's box is opened, many things get out of control and I can't help but hope you can understand. You are right,  This time the Soviet delegation came to Samara not to cheer for the Germans, but to make bridges. Moscow hopes to conclude a permanent peace with Samara. I hope you can persuade Kolchak to give up the attack on the Soviets and end the war.  stop!"

    Chicherin chuckled and brought the topic back to his purpose. At this time, arguing with the Prime Minister of the Volga Federation about class struggle would definitely be self-defeating. Not to mention whether the Volga Federation is on the wrong path, at least the Volga Federation 1000  Tens of thousands of ordinary people are now living a much more secure life than the Soviet Union. Even if they say they want peace, the land of the Volga Federation is prosperous and peaceful.

    "I'm a little confused about this. Georgi Vasilyevich, the Volga Federation strictly abides by the "Samara Peace Treaty". We and Soviet Russia are already in a stage of mutual recognition of peaceful and friendly coexistence.  As for the demilitarized buffer zone on the left bank of the Volga River, that is because the war between the Soviet Red Army and the White Guard in this area has affected the security of the Volga Federation border and the lives of ordinary people. Otherwise, do you think we are willing to feed hundreds of thousands of mouths for you?  ?¡±

    Pepelyayev took out the cigarette case, flicked a cigarette and gave it to his opponent. The serious American Camel cigarettes may not be available to the division commander level in the Eastern Front Allied Forces. This guy Pepelyayev  He was not used to smoking Mohe cigarettes, but he fell in love with American Camel cigarettes at a glance. Although the commander-in-chief of the coalition smoked Havana cigars, after all, that was too luxurious for the Volga Federation in 1918, wasn't it?

    "People who are wise don't tell secret words, Prime Minister Pepe, before I came this time, the Moscow Kremlin held an emergency meeting overnight. The topic was war or peace? The conclusion is obvious. The current situation is so complicated and complex.  Seriously, the Soviet Red Army has the courage and confidence to defeat Kolchak's gang, but we really don't want to be enemies with the Volga Federation. Therefore, we hope that the two sides will cease the war completely. Please persuade Kolchak or his people to draw a clear line between the two sides.  Peace talks! ¡±Chicherin took a deep breath of cigarette, letting the rich aroma of Camel cigarettes brush through his lungs, then reluctantly exhaled the smoke, blinked his eyes and expressed his seriousness to Pepe.  Intention.

    "Comrade Chicherin, do you think the Volga Federation instigated Kolchak to attack you? It's simply ridiculous. If the Volga Federation intervenes in the war between you, we can take Moscow within a week and fight in ten days.  Petrograd, do we need to let Kolchak¡¯s group of White Guards with outdated weapons and low morale lead the charge for us?¡±

    Pepe grinned disapprovingly and burst into laughter. The People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs of the Soviet Union turned green and white, and cursed in his heart. You are obviously supporting Kolchak's White Guards to cause trouble with Soviet Russia, but now he suddenly  It¡¯s so shameless to push 625 without admitting anything!

    Although he was cursing in his heart, he still had to put on a wry smile on his face. Chicherin spread his hands and said helplessly, "Okay, okay, I can't argue with you about this matter. Victory  The perpetrators are not to be blamed. The Volga Federation was the most successful on this land this summer. If Germany concludes a peace treaty with the Volga Federation, we will have no reason to continue fighting Kolchak"

    The implication of Chicherin's words is very clear. The Soviet Union has 100% confidence in beating Kolchak, but if you, the Volga Federation, support Kolchak behind the scenes, then I will never be able to win this battle in my life. In this case  , before the Germans sell off Moscow¡¯s interests, let¡¯s get a good price for the armistice and peace talks.
