Russia, St. Petersburg, Winter Pce, Ulyanov''s office.


    Joseph is reporting to Ulyanov at the request of the German side. As Ulyanov''s assistant, Joseph has been in charge of maintaining contact with the German side. Germany had always been their biggest supporter until the sess of the Burundian revolution. This also made Joseph''s status in the cloth party very high, almost second only to Ulyanov.


    "Leader, Germany has conveyed its willingness to have peace talks with us. How should we respond to them?" Joseph asked.


    "Peace talks? What do the Germans want to do? Could it be that they want to take this opportunity to ckmail us?" Ulyanov frowned. Ever since he received help from Germany, he has known for a long time that this day wille soon. However, he did not expect that it woulde so soon. German money is not so easy to get!


    "Leader, based on what I know about the Germans, it is estimated that they are really going to cut off a piece of flesh from us this time." Joseph said.


    "Ah! There was no way to ept their support back then. If we hadn''t epted their support back then, it would have been a problem for us to survive, let alone achieve the sess of the revolution." Ulyanov sighed in one breath.


    "Leader, there is no way. For our cause, we could only do that." Joseph said.


    Ulyanov nodded: "Since the Germans want peace talks, let''s talk with them! However, we have to pay as little price as possible. Now, Russia will be ruled by us. We will develop If you want to be strong, you must have a good foundation."


    "Yes, leader. However, the Germans have an absolute advantage. Therefore, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to refuse their request." Joseph said.


    Ulyanov was also bitter. Germany''s military power is too strong. If they reject the Germans'' request, then what awaits them will be a German attack. At that time, they will not only lose arge area of ??territory, but even fail under the attack of the German army. At that time, they will pay a higher price. Even if the Germans made public the evidence of their eptance of German support, it would be a devastating blow to them.


    "Talk to the Germans as much as possible. If the Germans'' conditions are not so harsh, you can agree to them. If they are too harsh, try your best to find a way to refuse." Ulyanov said.


    "Yes, leader." Joseph nodded.


    Subsequently, Ulyanov convened a meeting of the Supreme Council of the Burundi Party and informed everyone of the preparations for peace talks with Germany. As expected by Ulyanov, many people were in favor of peace talks with Germany. But at the same time, they demand that their interests be guaranteed as much as possible.


    "Everyone, we need to appoint a representative who is fully responsible for negotiating with the Germans? Who do you think is the most suitable?" Ulyanov asked.


    "Leader, isn''t Comrade Joseph always in charge of contacting the Germans? Let him represent us!" Kamenev said.


    "No, no! Comrade Kamenev, it is precisely because I have always been in charge of contacting the Germans, so the Germans know me very well. In this case, it will be difficult to bargain with them during the negotiation Therefore, I suggest that Comrade Trotsky should be responsible for negotiating with the Germans, and he is our People''s Commissar for Foreign Affairs, responsible for foreign affairs." Joseph hastily declined.


    Although, negotiating on behalf of the Burundi Party and Germany will have a lot of power. However, Joseph did not want this drudgery to fall on his own head. That''s right, Joseph thought it was a chore to be in charge of negotiating with Germany this time. Otherwise, with his character, would he still refuse if it was really profitable?


    Joseph can be sure that in this negotiation, the German side will put forward very harsh conditions. Also, the hardline Germans will directly force Russia to ept their terms. In the end, the humiliating traitorous surrender treaty will definitely be signed. No matter who is in charge of negotiating with Germany, it will be a stain in his life. Therefore, Joseph did not want this stain to exist in his resume. He also thought about bing his sessor after Ulyanov retired or died!


    If he wants to be Ulyanov''s sessor, Trotsky is undoubtedly his biggest opponent. Therefore, Joseph can''t wait to dig a hole for Trotsky now.


    "Well, do you have any other opinions?" Ulyanov asked.


    The others are not fools, so they stopped expressing their opinions immediately.


    "In this case, I think Comrade Trotsky will negotiate with the Germans on our behalf. I only have one request, and that is to preserve our interests as much as possible during the negotiations." Ulyanov said.


    "Yes, leader, I will try my best toplete the task!" Trotsky nodded and epted the task.


    After discussions between Germany and the Bundesliga Party, they decided to negotiate in Brest. On the German side, Foreign Minister von Kidren Wachter was the plenipotentiary, while on the Burund side, Trotsky, the People''s Commissar for Foreign Affairs, was the plenipotentiary.


    On December 12, the two sides held talks in Brest.


    "Your Excellency, the German Empire and your party have always maintained a very good rtionship. Therefore, we hope that after your party has gained power in Russia, we can continue to coexist peacefully. However, your country has already participated in this war after all. , and also caused huge losses to Germany. Therefore, we hope to quell this war and end this war through peace talks!" German Foreign Minister von Kiedren Wachter had a hypocritical smile on his face.


    "Your Excellency, Minister of Foreign Affairs, our party is also very grateful to Germany for its support. We also sincerely hope to maintain good rtions with your country. We are willing to withdraw from this war through peaceful negotiations. From now on, we will hold the power of Russia After that, I am more willing to live in peace with the German Empire forever." Trotsky said.


    Anyway, on such a diplomatic asion, it’s all about talking on the spot. When ites time for peace talks, the two sides will fight with each other and will not give an inch. Undoubtedly, this is a typical Minute being a **** and setting up a chastity archway.


    However, this can at least show that the atmosphere of the peace talks this time is rtively good. Of course, all this is superficial.
