Chapter 370: intimidation of force
Three days later, the Russian cloth party has not given an accurate answer to the German side. German Foreign Minister von Kidren Wachter immediately left Brest and led the German delegation back to Germany despite Trotsky\'s persuasion.
As soon as the German delegation left, this immediately made the Burundi Party even more anxious. Everyone knows that after the breakdown of the negotiations, they will have to face the military threat from Germany.
After returning to Berlin, von Kidren Wachter met Qin Tian immediately. Prime Minister Bernhard von Bülow, also together.
"Your Highness, isn\'t our asking price too high? It scared the Russians." Von Kidren Wachter said.
"Yes! Your Highness. If the Russians refuse to agree to our conditions, then do we really have to use force against them?" Bernhard von Bülow was also a little worried.
After all, they all know it. Now Germany\'s main energy will be on the Western Front. On the Eastern Front, only a small number of troops will be retained.
"Of course it is impossible for us to use force against them. However, it is still possible to intimidate them. Since the Russians have been unable to make a decision, let\'s help them! I will ask the 8th and 9th armies, put aside Make a big attack. At that time, I think the Russians will make a choice." Qin Tian looked like he was sure of winning.
It\'s just that, this is just his faking. In fact, he didn\'t know whether the cloth party would succumb as easily as in another time and space. After all, in this time and space, many things have changed. The cloth party in this time and space is also stronger than the cloth party in another time and space.
"His Royal Highness, how about we lower our requirements appropriately!" said von Kidren Wachter. If you don\'t get anything because the asking price is too high, then it\'s not worth it.
"No! Although we are still cooperating with the Russian cloth party, the honeymoon period will end soon. By then, we will be enemies. Therefore, the harder we kill them at this time, the more we can Weaken them. This will give us a favorable position in future confrontations." Qin Tian said.
"Wachter, let\'s do it according to His Highness the Crown Prince\'s opinion! I also believe that His Highness the Crown Prince will succeed." Bernhard von Bülow said.
"Okay then!" Von Kidren Wascht nodded and had no choice but to say no more.
"Your Excellency, Minister of Foreign Affairs, you must not be impatient during the negotiations with the Russian Burton Party. The Russians will not shed tears when they see the coffin. They will compromise when our troops start marching towards them," Qin Tian said.
"I hope so!" Von Kidren Wachter said.
Afterwards, Qin Tian personally issued orders to the 8th Army and the 9th Army, asking them to go to the border, pretending to march on Russia, and intimidating Russia with force.
"This time, I want to see if those Russians have the courage to resist!" Qin Tian\'s eyes flashed a cold look.
After receiving Qin Tian\'s order, the German 8th Army and 9th Army, regardless of whether it was still winter, immediately left the station and headed for the border. Although, the 8th Army suffered a lot of losses after the first battle that annihilated the Russian Southwest Front Army. But after returning to East Prussia, it was immediately replenished. Germany\'s mobilization has been completed, and the second phase of mobilization has also begun, which makes them not short of soldiers in a short period of time. Of course, if the war drags on for too long, the disadvantage of Germany\'s lack of troops will inevitably appear.
The Ninth Army, although it is a newly formed army. However, ten infantry divisions plus one armored division still have a total of more than 180,000 people. The configuration of various weapons and equipment is exactly the same as that of the 8th Army. The only thing they lack is battlefield experience. As long as they have experienced the battlefield test of blood and fire, their combat effectiveness can be improved and they will become a truly elite force. Qin Tian proposed that General Hindenburg be the commander of the 9th Army, because he valued General Hindenburg\'s talent. He believed that Admiral Hindenburg would be able to train the Ninth Army into a powerful force, a force loyal to him.
Two elite legions of the German army marched to the border and launched an attack formation. The cannons with hideous muzzles and the dark tanks all represented powerful attack power. And this scared the leaders of the Russian cloth party enough.
"What should we do? What should we do now? The two elite German legions have already marched to the border. If they attack, what can we use to resist? How can we resist? One of the German legions will almost be wiped out Two million Russian troops were killed. The two legions joined forces, and they can easily destroy us!" Joseph looked panicked.
Ulyanov also looked very ugly. The Germans have now made their attitude clear, as if they are going to attack them. Although, Ulyanov believes that this may be the Germans intimidating them. However, he didn\'t dare to take the risk. Otherwise, once the Germans are serious, the consequences will be very serious.
Ulyanov knew very well that if the German army really launched an offensive, even if they only invested two legions, they could wipe out all the troops they currently control. What\'s more, there are still a large number of troops loyal to Tsar Nicholas II, ready to attack them. At that time, the situation of the Russian cloth party will be very critical. If it is not done well, it will be destroyed.
"Comrade Joseph, we can\'t take risks. At least at this stage, we can\'t tear ourselves apart with the Germans. Therefore, after bargaining for the Germans\' demands, let them agree!" Ulyanov said.
Between betraying the country and keeping himself, Ulyanov chose the latter.
"Yes, leader, I understand. However, Comrades Kamenev and Comrade Trotsky strongly oppose it. If their attitudes don\'t change, it may be difficult for us to reach an agreement." Joseph was a little worried.
"Try to find a way! They didn\'t understand the situation, but we can\'t let them make our revolution fail!" Ulyanov\'s eyes flashed with determination.
