Standing in front of the Empire State Building, looking up at the tallest building in the world, although I don't know how many times I've been here, but Ray? Kopa still felt a deep shock in his heart, and at the same time felt his own insignificance.

Even to this day, Ray? Kopa couldn't imagine how the Chinese had built such a magnificent building...

There was a time when Ray? Kopa even thought he was dreaming, or maybe it was just a trick by the Chinese. However, when he climbed to the top of the Empire State Building through the elevator, he deeply realized that everything in front of him was real.

With him, there are also Zhu Erdian and others who were invited to come, as well as well-known people from all walks of life...

Naturally, after witnessing the success of the Empire State Building, Ray? Kopa's attitude towards Yan Shao has also undergone some changes, some deep changes...

Past Ray? Kopa has always enjoyed dealing with Yan Shao, because he has gained a lot of benefits from his contact with Yan Shao. Whether it's in status or prestige.

But as China grows stronger, Lei? Copa's attitude has gradually changed.

In the end, all he needs is a role that can make his political life shine again, and after Japan, there will be a great power in the Far East that can threaten the interests of white people? Even he doesn't want to see this...

After all, he is a white man, and white people in this world who are willing to consider problems from the perspective of Chinese are too rare...

But no matter Ray? How reluctant Kopa really was. Yan Shao is what he must see. After all, he has a deep friendship with Yan Shao, but many people in China and France know about it. Now that there is such a big problem, he, a veteran, naturally refuses to let it.

Fortunately, he still had some face with Yan Shao, so not long after arriving at the Empire State Building, Yan Shao met Yan Shao on the top floor of the building.

Riding in the most advanced elevator of this era, Ray? It took him a while for Copa to reach the top floor of the Empire State Building.

After reaching the top floor of the Empire State Building, he stepped out of the elevator, and Ray? Kopa looked back. In addition to the huge lightning rod, there was a relatively spacious platform and a luxurious swimming pool...

Build a swimming pool here, I believe that there will be no one else except Yan Shao...

Of course, Yan Shao's style of acting is still very much in line with the style of the French and Italians, at least the French Counsellor and the Italian Minister who came here some time ago. I used to praise this design.

But Ray? Copa...

Not to mention the faint resistance to Yan Shao in his heart, just because of his age, he can no longer let him mess around like he did when he was young, so the first time after seeing this pool, Lei? Copa frowned, naturally. That was the first time I saw it, and now, Ray? Copa is more or less accustomed to being here.

On the rooftop, Yan Shao did not swim in the pool, and it was already November. The climate has begun to turn colder, although this time is a both cold. But it's not too cold, it's hot, but it's not too hot in a comfortable season, but at an altitude of hundreds of meters, even if you don't consider the wind, the temperature is colder than the ground, jumping into the pool to swim in such a weather―――――― Yan Shao does have the habit of jogging in winter, but swimming in winter or something, cough, this habit is not much...

At this moment, sitting behind a table, Yan Shao's heart seemed to be thinking about something, but when he saw Lei? After Copa's figure, Yan Shao immediately stood up.

"Mr. Minister..."

"Mr. President."

After nodding to each other, Yan Shao motioned to Lei? Kopa sat down in front of him.

Thunder? Kopa was not polite, in fact, he didn't need to be polite, after all, he was not Yan Shao's courtier, and in the past, because the relationship between the two was better, Lei? Kopa is also relatively casual in front of Yan Shao...

After finding a place to sit down, Ray? Kopa did not continue to greet Yan Shao, but said very straightforwardly. "Mr. President, you should know exactly what I'm here for..."

"Of course..."Looking at the thunder with a stern face? Kopa, Yan Shao had a smile on his face. "Isn't it just for the things of the Outer Northeast..."

"Isn't it just..."Hearing Yan Shao's relaxed tone, Lei? The green tendons on Coppa's forehead couldn't help but jump twice. , a long time, Ray? Copa temporarily suppressed the anger in his chest. "President, I hope you can clearly understand the severity of this matter, you must know that although the current Russian government has been overthrown, the Soviet Russian government that came to power has not stopped continuing to fulfill the commitments of its allies, and even if the Russian government has become our enemy, its land in the outer northeast should also belong to the original provisional government, and you are completely taking advantage of the fire to rob it..."

Speaking of the last time, Ray? Kopa was already somewhat indignant.

Taking advantage of the fire to rob has almost become a consensus of almost all countries on China's operation, and even the attitude towards it at home is relatively consistent―――――― that is, taking advantage of the chaos in Russia, digging a piece of meat from him...

Coming to China for so long, and experiencing things in the Outer Northeast, Lei? Kopa naturally knows more about the history of the Outer Northeast, and knows that this land was snatched from the hands of the Chinese. But, Ray? Kopa didn't care about this history, he only cared about it, and that was the interests of the Entente.

At present, the Entente is in a fierce war with Germany, in order to defeat the Allied forces on the Western Front before the American ** team reinforces to Europe, Germany has launched a huge offensive again, this time is the time when Britain and France and other countries need Russia to contain from behind, at this time to do something to Russia, even if it is just a Bolshevik government, in the eyes of Britain and France is very unwise...

"And right now we're at war with Germany on the Western Front, even though the United States is now at war. The power of the Entente had grown dramatically, while the Allies were in the midst of a storm. But we all know very well that the Allies still have a very strong strength today, relying on us alone, even if we can defeat the Allies, I am afraid we will have to pay a very painful price, this is the time when we need to let the Soviet Russia work for us, I believe in your dislike of the President Mr. President, but I hope you can restrain your own actions for the overall situation. After all, this is in the interests of the entire Entente..."

This is also the attitude of the Entente today, for Soviet Russia, of course, the Entente is not pleasing to the eye, after all, one group is capitalism, and the other group is **. Moreover, the current First World War was strictly speaking nothing more than a group of imperialist countries―――――― which seemed to scold China as well.

But anyway. This war is only a struggle of interests, not a struggle between positions or classes, and although the two sides have fought fiercely, they have not yet reached the point of life and death.

Unlike later generations, they all hated each other, in order to deal with the Nazis. Churchill, a well-known anti-G, was even willing to cooperate with Stalin ...

And at least in later generations, it will never be allowed to change jobs halfway, like the kind of job-hopping behavior that Italy did in World War I, which would never have happened in World War II. The only thing that could happen is. The old government was overthrown and a new one came to power―――――― here we had to admire Italy. In World War I, it was originally an Allied power, but it jumped to the Entente and became a victorious country.

During World War II, seeing that they were about to lose, a group of people jumped out to overthrow Mussolini, coupled with their comparatively funny, the result was that they actually shirked most of the responsibilities lightly, and became the lightest burden among the major defeated countries in World War II...

――――――――――――――――――――

Despite Ray? Kopa said very indignantly, but listen to Ray? Copa's words, after looking at his Yan Sù's expression, Yan Shao couldn't help laughing.

"Please, Mr. Minister, are you planning to let Soviet Russia continue to contain the Germans on the Eastern Front, so that they can continue to play the role of the original Tsarist Russia..." Kopa nodded solemnly, and Yan Shao couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Please, you and the people in Paris don't think the Russians are fools..."

Yan Shao didn't continue to say anything, just clapped his palms casually, and then two young and beautiful female secretaries walked up and put a copy of the information in their hands in front of Yan Shao and the others.

After the information was placed neatly, Yan Shao handed the information to Lei? Coppa then said to the two female secretaries. "Alright, you guys go down first"

"Yes!"

Hearing Yan Shao's command, the two slowly retreated, and looking at their swaying backs when they left, at least Yan Shao, who was still very young in his heart, felt a burst of heat in his body.

Even subconsciously, Yan Shao glanced at the swimming pool not far away.

To be honest, Yan Shao is really interested in coming to a wine pond meat forest.

Right at the top of the world's tallest building...

As for this wine pond meat forest...

Is the wine pool, it's easy to solve, it's to fill the pool with fine wine, as for the meat forest...

It will definitely not be like the Yin Shang era, where meat strips are hung on trees, but the kind of white-flowered, real meat forest...

As long as he thinks of those snow-white ** rolling back and forth and laughing in the pool filled with red wine, Yan Shao feels that his body is really hot...

It's a pity that despite his identity and financial resources, it's not that he can't do this kind of thing, but in the end, he can only think about it...

It's not that he needs to pay attention to the influence, he really doesn't care much about this, anyway, now his prestige in the country is already very high, and ordinary people know his daily luxury life very well, as long as he doesn't bully men and women, even if he does this kind of thing, there will be no big problem.

What really gave Yan Shao a headache was the strict supervision of Elano and others...

If Yan Shao really came to the life of a 'wine pond meat forest', he felt that he was more likely to be given a 'good boat' ending...

At present, Yan Shao is still very young, and if he doesn't watch the explosion of the Third World War, how can he be willing to die young...

Therefore, 'Jiuchi Meat Forest' or something, in the end, it can only be yy in Yan Shao's mind, and there is almost no possibility of what he wants to achieve―――――― maybe when Yan Shao is old age, it can be used to satisfy his wishes. If he's still moving...

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Just when Yan Shao was still there yy in the wine pond meat forest, at the same time. Thunder? Kopa took the information on the table, and then looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but say after a while.

"Mr. President, I don't know where you got this information......... Is the above situation true? ”

"Of course it's true..."Looking at Ray, whose face changed? Copa, Yan Shao couldn't help but smile. "I believe that Mr. Minister should know that in our country there is an agency called the Special Affairs Bureau, which is responsible for intelligence gathering. This information was obtained from the Russian Communist Party not long after the establishment of the Soviet Russian government, and every detail on it was very detailed, and it was precisely because of this information that I was determined to send troops to the Northeast..."

Speaking of this, Yan Shao pinched his thigh with his hand, so that he could hold back his laughter.

Although Yan Shao's facial expression was very strange. But Ray? Kopa didn't suspect anything, just sat there and watched the information he had submitted...

It is clearly written that not long after the formal establishment of the Russian government, Soviet Russia officially opened negotiations with Germany. The content of the negotiations was naturally an armistice, and it was also an armistice with the Allies. Allowing Russia to successfully withdraw from the war that had led to the collapse of two governments was also what the Russians had been pursuing――――――, and the reason for the collapse of the previous two governments was largely a factor.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Looking at the above, Ray? While Copa was amazed at the capabilities of the Special Forces, he did not doubt at all whether the above content was true or false. One of the big reasons was that he himself believed that Soviet Russia would do this.

Because not long after the formation of the government of Soviet Russia. Although Britain, France and other countries were reluctant to recognize the Soviet Russian government, considering the importance of Soviet Russia on the Eastern Front, there were still some connections between these countries and Soviet Russia.

The problem was that as soon as Soviet Russia was founded, it proposed a peaceful proposal to the Entente.

In the end, this proposal was vetoed as a matter of course, and the Soviet Russian government did not say anything more, but in the case of such a premise, it was said that Soviet Russia was in contact with Germany to discuss the matter of withdrawing from the war. Kopa is absolutely convinced...

――――――――――――――――――――

Yan Shao to Lei? Copa's information is, of course, true and accurate, and even a copy of what was in the negotiations between Soviet Russia and Germany. For Yan Shao, it is not difficult to get this thing, after all, before the Wehrmacht went north, Luo Wenying and their relationship with Lenin and others was still very good, with such a cover, they could arbitrarily show informants in St. Petersburg to search for useful information, and this part of the information was provided by some Russian communists who were Luo Wenying's exhibition―――――― as once said, not everyone is willing to be a proletarian, or some are because they can't be a propertied class, That's why the proletariat was chosen...

However, unlike in history, although Soviet Russia did propose peace to the Entente after its establishment, in history, Soviet Russia negotiated with Germany on December 3, not in early November...

The difference between them by almost a month is undoubtedly due to the changes in history, as well as the early explosion of the February and October Revolutions...

Looking at the intelligence in his hand, Ray? Kopa trembled for a while, because he knew very well what the intelligence in his hand meant, which meant that if Soviet Russia and Germany made peace, then the Germans could completely ignore the pressure on the Eastern Front, and instead transfer most of the troops on the Eastern Front to the Western Front, and the situation that was gradually improving on the Western Front was likely to continue to deteriorate...

And with Ray? Kopa was different, but Yan Shao, who was sitting on the side, was almost about to whistle.

Well, Yan Shao knew that Soviet Russia would definitely sign such a treaty, but the question was when. Although Yan Shao knew very well that Lenin himself supported the signing of such an armistice agreement, there were many people in Soviet Russia who refused to do so, and no matter how great Lenin's influence in the Bolsheviks was, it was impossible to change everyone's views in a hurry...

The end result is simpler, although the agreement will be signed. But it's hard to say when it will be signed.

There is no way, who told the Germans to offer conditions that are too harsh.

In fact, at the beginning of the negotiations. Germany then put forward the harsh conditions of ceding Poland, Lithuania, parts of Estonia, and all parts of Latvia and Belarus to Germany and paying 3o billion rubles in compensation. There is no doubt that such a condition is very harsh, and it is difficult to say whether Russia has ever signed a more demanding treaty in recent history.

Such a harsh treaty also caused serious disagreements within the Bolshevik Party. Lenin advocated accepting Germany's terms and signing a peace treaty to gain respite for the new regime, and six members of the Central Committee, including Zinoviev, Sokolnikov, Stalin, Artem, Stasova, and Sverdlov, supported Lenin. The "leftists" represented by Bukharin opposed the signing of the peace treaty and advocated the continuation of the world war against imperialism. Central Committee members Bubnov, Uritsky, and Lomov supported Bukharin. Trotsky, on the other hand, advocated an armistice and the demobilization of the army, but did not sign a contract with Germany (i.e., "no war, no peace"), and the Central Committee members Krestinsky, Dzerzhinsky, and Viet Fei supported Trotsky.

In history, on the first vote, Lenin's proposal was rejected.

At that time, the largest number of supporters were Bukharin's faction, followed by Trotsky, and finally Lenin―――――― of course. Lenin's 15 votes were only one less than the former's 16, but Bukharin's 32 votes were more than the two combined.

On the second occasion, Lenin's suggestion was again rejected.

And then the third time...

It can be said that the armistice agreement was very difficult...

Later, although the armistice was signed, Soviet Russia also paid a great price. According to the content of the treaty. Russia ended its state of war with Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey, the Russian army was fully demobilized, the naval warships returned to the harbor and disarmed, and Russia recognized the independence of Finland, Ukraine and Georgia and was obliged to conclude peace with the Ukrainian People's Republic immediately. Soviet Russia ceded Estland, Livland, Courland, Lithuania, and Russian Poland to the German Empire and Austria-Hungary. Only Germany and Austria have the right to decide that Soviet Russia should withdraw from the provinces of Adahan, Kars, and Batumi, and that the Ottoman Turkish Empire would take over them, and that Soviet Russia would dismantle all the fortifications on the Arand Islands, and that its future status would be jointly decided by the four German and Austrian countries.

At the same time, the supplementary clause also stipulated that Soviet Russia was required to pay Germany an indemnity of 6o million marks, to be repaid in five installments, but the final payment date should not exceed the end of 1918―――――― it would be three billion more than the original, because Trotsky refused to sign an armistice agreement at that time, and as a result, Germany took advantage of the excuse to attack, and in a critical situation, Soviet Russia had no choice but to return to the negotiating table, and Germany took this opportunity to ask for a sky-high price.

After the agreement was signed, Russia lost a total of 1,267,000 square kilometers of land and 620,000 people, equivalent to 44% of the country's population. In addition, there was a 33% loss of agricultural products, a 54% loss of industry, an 8o loss of sugar, a 73% loss of iron ore, a 75% loss of coal mines, and a total loss of about 27% of fiscal revenue

Naturally, there are also those who think that Lenin's initiative bought time, and that this is only a temporary cession, and it will be taken back in the future, but ...

If Germany hadn't failed, I'm afraid it would...

It should be noted that Yan Shao was very clever and did not tell Lei the conditions proposed by the Germans? Copa, after all, if Rang Ray? When Kopa learned of the above conditions, he would soon reflect that even if the Russians would agree to such a harsh condition, it would probably take a long time to accept...

There is no doubt about that...

――――――――――――――――――――

"That's what it's all about...", Ray? Kopa took out the document that Yan Shao had given him from his briefcase. Anyway, it's just a copy, as long as the original is in hand, it doesn't matter how many copies are copied, Yan Shao naturally won't mind giving it to Lei? A copy of Copa...

Looking at Ray? Kopa handed a copy to himself and others, and Zhu Erdian and the others were shocked, and at the same time, Ray? Kopa continued to smile wryly.

"After that, Yan Shao and I made it very clear that it was inevitable that Soviet Russia was about to withdraw from the war, and in that case, where could it be said to be an ally. Moreover, the current government of Soviet Russia is still a Bolshevik government, and he must ensure that the possibility of ** in the Far East is eliminated..."

"And......... China has shed countless blood on the Western Front, and it has even saved the entire war. Its record was absolutely not inferior to that of Russia, which had been defeated in successive battles on the Eastern Front, and now that Russia was no longer part of the Entente. Then why shouldn't they take back the land they deserve..."

Then looked at Zhu Erdian and the others, Lei? Kopa said with a wry smile again. "And then he asked me if it was reasonable for the expeditionary force to get only a little land in the Middle East after so many conquests in Europe..."

This is Yan Shao's cheap and obedient sale, after all, he knows very well that the land he chooses is rich in oil. Iraq, Kuwait, and the Eastern Persian Gulf. If you get one of the three places, it's enough for a country to be inexhaustible, not to mention that he also got three this time, but listen to Thunder? Copa's words, Zhu Erdian and the others were speechless for a while.

After all, unlike Yan Shao, they don't know the situation in the Middle East. In the eyes of people in this era, the Middle East is a barren place. To no one wants. In the past, when China was only one of the participating countries, and it was only an inconspicuous member, it would have given these lands nothing, but it saved Verdun and waved it well on the Somme. Now that it has become one of the pillars of the Western Front, as Yan Shao said, many Chinese people are already dissatisfied with the benefits that China can get from participating in the war...

After the brilliant achievements of the expeditionary force on the Western Front, the confidence of the Chinese people has swelled much more than when they first entered the war. Looking at the results, thinking about it, they only got a few pieces of wasteland. Many Chinese people have some imbalance in their hearts.

As ministers to China, Zhu Erdian, Cook and others naturally know this. So it's hard for them to say anything, after all, they don't know the truth, and they also feel in their hearts that those 'wastelands' in the Middle East are indeed some unworthy of China's contribution, but...

If China's contribution is recognized, more benefits must be shared. Giving more to China is equivalent to giving less to other countries, Zhu Erdian and they are all white after all, and they always have to be inclined to 'their own people'...

So Yan Shao didn't mention it, and they didn't mention Yan Shao to shout grievances.

But now that Yan Shao has brought it up, it's hard for them to say anything...

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

After an awkward silence, Zhu Erdian spoke first. "The most important thing now is not to hold the Chinese government accountable for this incident, but to first send back to China the fact that Soviet Russia is negotiating an armistice with Germany, so that the country can confirm it..."

Saying that, Zhu Erdian said with a wry smile. "Personally, I believe in the authenticity of this information, after all, we all know that the Russians have always wanted to withdraw from this war, but if that's the case......... I am afraid that the matter of the Chinese government's dispatch of troops to the northeast this time will be over..."

Hearing Zhu Erdian's words, Ray? Both Kopa and Cook were silent.

They knew very well what Zhu Erdian meant, if Soviet Russia really truces war with Germany, then the pressure on the coalition forces on the Western Front will be greater than it is now. In other words, they also need China's support even more, and in this case they can't stop China at all, they can only acquiesce...

After all, the most important thing at the moment is the war situation in Europe...

Soon the three of them reached a consensus, and sent the information they had just obtained to Europe and the Americas, and after receiving the information, London, Paris, and New York were all devastated, and they could not have imagined that the Soviet Russian government had just been established, and it had begun to cooperate with Germany, which also made them anxious.

After all, if the Allied armies were concentrated on the Western Front, even if they could win in the end, the casualties would never be negligible...

Then, what made Zhu Erdian right was that although he was angry about the situation of China's dispatch of troops to the Northeast, after confirming the authenticity of the intelligence, Britain and the United States and other countries could only turn a blind eye and acquiesce in China's behavior...

After all, the reason why Britain and France retained their ties with Soviet Russia was that they hoped that they would play the role of Tsarist Russia. Now that Soviet Russia is planning to fornicate with Germany, of course there is no need for them to continue to speak for Soviet Russia―――――― don't forget that the two are hostile classes.

Naturally, Britain and France and other countries have not completely given up hope, and are still trying to find a way to let Soviet Russia continue to work for them, but even they themselves know how slim this hope is.

And, as Zhu Erdian said, China is far more important to the current Entente than Russia. In the case that Soviet Russia has begun to prepare to withdraw from the European war, it is even more relaxed and happy for Britain, France and other countries to sacrifice the interests of Russia...

At the same time, standing on the roof of the Empire State Building, holding on to the railing, looking at the tiny buildings below and the vehicles similar to ants, Yan Shao was also rejoicing in his heart.

"Fortunately, the attention of both Britain, France and Soviet Russia has been focused on the outer northeast, so I believe that it should be possible to hide the troops assembled in the northwest for a while, and it will not be long, as long as the Russians and the Germans sign an armistice..."

On the one hand, the dispatch of troops to the northeast is due to the problem of time, and on the other hand, it is not to cover for the troops in the northwest. After all, hundreds of thousands of troops are stationed in the northwest, and even if the northwest is sparsely populated, it is difficult to imagine that it will not be seen for a long time.

So there is only one way, and that is to set up a target that attracts everyone's attention, which is similar to Yan Shao's way of setting up such a target as Soviet Russia to attract the attention of other powers...

And for now, at least, it's working very well.

Both Britain, France, Russia and Germany have almost shifted their attention to the outer northeast, and there is no movement in the northwest direction at all, and the next troops in the northwest only need to wait for the Soviet Union and Germany to formally sign an agreement and withdraw from this war.

Whether it is Britain, France or the United States, they will never allow the betrayal of Soviet Russia, as long as Soviet Russia withdraws from the war, the Entente must send troops to crusade, and when China sends troops again, it is simply justifiable, and Britain and the United States and other countries that were dragged by the European war and the Soviet Russian battlefield at the same time, even if they have some opinions, they will not be able to pull out their hands in a short time...
