    August 15, 1918, 19:00, Volga Federation, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Federal Government of Samara

    "Mr. Special Envoy, the original intention of the establishment of the Volga Federation is for peace. The purpose of the war is also to seek a lasting and just peace. The Volga Federation will not withdraw from the camp of the Allied Powers until the Allies and the Allied Powers cease war and reach a peace agreement. Of course, before  Under the wise leadership of our head of state, the Federation can become a bridge and link for peace negotiations between the Allied Powers and the Allied Powers This is our greatest sincerity, and we do not know that such a stand-in will"".  ?¡±

    As the Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Federal Cabinet, Pepe actually plays more of a steward role in the Volga Federation, a military dictatorship and puppet regime.  Wang Geng, the Commander-in-Chief of the Federal Armed Forces, made the decision in one word. Whether in the Eastern Front of the Allied Powers or in the Volga Federation, the King of China said that he adopted the method of democratic centralism. In fact, it has long been no secret that he has monopolized power.

    The Military Police Headquarters of the Allied Forces on the Eastern Front and the National Security Bureau of the Volga Federation are almost the same people and two brands. For the King of China, the collection and development of foreign intelligence made more use of the resources of the Allied powers, while for the  Internal counter-revolutionary suppression and supervision are maintained by the overt and covert agencies of the Military Police Headquarters and the National Security Bureau.

    As for the Bundeswehr and the National Guard, they are all subject to the supervision and review of the Gendarmerie Command. Of course, they operate in the federal territory under the name of the Federal State Security Service. The name secret police always gives people a terrifying and terrifying impression, and the National Security Service  It sounds more neutral yidi¨£n.

    Of course, Gustav Stresemann knew that the head of state of the Volga Federation was the Chinese king with the title of commander-in-chief of the armed forces, but it was the first time he heard the word head of state from Pepelyaev's mouth.  , he was still surprised. This meant that the federation that appeared on the Volga River as a puppet regime almost publicly declared that it would take the path of military dictatorship. The Shime Parliament and the Cabinet were just pawns in the hands of the Commander-in-Chief.

    "Your Excellency Pepe, the fate of the Russian people will ultimately be in the hands of the Russian people themselves If the war ends and there is peace, the Allied Forces on the Eastern Front will cease to exist That person, your Excellency the Head of State, is going back to Asia.  Should he lead the Sino-Japanese alliance, or should he continue to be the head of state in this land? "

    Stresemann asked tentatively with his eyes rolling. In fact, he wanted to know the thoughts and expectations of the federal leaders represented by Pepe for the future, and to see if he could alienate and divide the King of China and his federal leaders.  Generals, although the yellow-skinned Mongols ruled this land for hundreds of years, does the King of China really intend to take root in the Volga Federation from now on?

    "You don't have to worry about this. Our heads of state are unanimously determined to create a harmonious society where the world is one and the same. In the Volga Federation, we talk about national autonomy and equal treatment. Faith and religion are completely free. As long as we abide by federal laws and maintain national security  And unification, by the way, Your Excellency, Special Envoy, the Federation recognizes multiple nationalities. If you and Mr. Ludendorff cannot survive in Germany in the future, come to the Volga Federation, and I will definitely reserve a few suitable positions for you to use your residual enthusiasm"

    Pepe is actually very cautious. He directly interrupted the probing and persuasion of the German envoy, and by the way started advertising for the Volga Federation. When it comes to Europe, the name is bigger. The royal families and nobles of various countries have been intermarried for hundreds of years.  There are countless examples of political marriages. It is not uncommon for a Frenchman to become the King of England and a German woman to become the Empress of Russia. Ludendorff and Stresemann are both emerging powerful people who do not have "von" in their names. Speaking of which,  In Germany, the upper class who are not aristocrats and well-established will become the object of liquidation by domestic conservative forces once the war is over. It is not easy for them to go into exile abroad.

    "Uh this is a joke the war is over. Lord Ludendorff and Lord Hindenburg, who led the Allies to victory, will surely advance to a higher level at home. As for me, I will naturally be in the parliament.  It¡¯s a joke to say Shime came to live in exile in the Federation Let¡¯s get back to the subject, Mr. Ludendorff hopes that you can send a representative to visit Berlin, and we will sign a peace agreement in Berlin. Is that okay?¡±

    Stresemann's eyes were rolling wildly, and he obviously did not believe that Ziji or Ludendorff might live in exile one day in the future. In his view, once Germany won the autumn offensive on the Western Front, it would be able to propose peace talks as a winner.  And ended the war. As the most meritorious officials, how could Ludendorff and Ziji not even have a place in Germany?  This Pepe simply doesn't know what to say.

    "Well Of course we are going to Berlin, but after the armistice, considering the subtleties of each other's positions, we can sign a secret peace treaty in Samara, and the formal treaty between the two parties can be placed at the same time.The armistice treaty between the Allies and the Entente was completed in one package" Pepe muttered and promised to go to Berlin to sign the peace treaty. The Volga Federation cannot officially leave the Allied camp and become a traitor, let alone the United States, Britain and France. At this time, the two sides are in  Peace negotiations on the Eastern Front can only be conducted privately and secretly, with an actual armistice as the outcome.

    "Can we only sign a secret peace treaty? This is a bit unconvincing. After all, we have abided by the agreement. If you suddenly break up and stab us on the Eastern Front, how can I explain to Ludendorff? The German people will definitely not  Forgive the treacherous guy, but despite the fact that your federation has 300,000 national defense troops, in terms of equipment level and combat effectiveness, we only need two second-line armies to sweep you away!" Stresemann looked a little disappointed and gritted his teeth.

    "I'm really confused, Stresemann, you are still a German parliamentarian. What you say is to a certain extent. A peace treaty can only be truly effective when both parties get what they need and have a balanced power. It has nothing to do with the way the peace treaty was signed and the way it was expressed.  What's the point of money? If we only have the strength to defend our territory, we deserve to be swept away by you. But if you misjudge the situation and be used as a scapegoat by the German people for the failure of the war in the future, don't say that we won't accept your offer.  Apply for asylum!¡±

    What Peipei said was almost the same as the answer that Wang Geng gave him when he asked the King of China about the true validity of the peace treaty. At that time, Pepei was as enlightened as if he had just woken up from a dream. Now,  Throwing the answer of the King of China back to the German envoy who blocked his mouth, the Prime Minister of the Federal Cabinet felt extremely comfortable. Isn't that the law of the jungle?  Who would be tied up by a peace treaty?  Isn't it the two sides' judgment of each other's strength that is the real basis of the game?
