Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Simon Petliura became energetic at this moment, slapping his chest and shouting, Damn, it¡¯s a good move for my diplomatic representative to stay in Samara. Otherwise, where can I send someone to protest and protest at short notice?  Note?  Photoelectric telegraph to give the other party some trouble?  It is unknown whether anyone has received a response or not.

    Hermann von Fran?ois curled his lips when he heard this and said disdainfully, "Put it down, Mr. Prime Minister, why are you singing so high-key now? I am not here to hold Berlin accountable for your private flirting with the Volga Federation.  , I don¡¯t care whether Zhukovsky, your diplomatic representative staying in Samara, is in an official or private capacity, and whether he is doing business or private matters. That is a matter for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Berlin. I am a soldier, not a politician.  Let me ask you, is there any problem with Zhukovsky and the Volga Federation formally proposing to restart negotiations and reach a ceasefire agreement on the border dispute between the two countries? "The fastest update, all text typed by hand?

    "Really or not? No fight? If you don't want to fight, you should have said it earlier. I am in such a hurry that the whole city is evacuating and retreating. If you want a ceasefire, what kind of nonsense did you have in your plan b? Are you serious about a ceasefire?  Can you agree to the other party? What conditions and bottom lines can Berlin give? Last time, the Volga Federation asked Ukraine to join the federation in the name of an autonomous republic before they could agree!" Simon Petliula felt a little confused and was a little incoherent.

    Here Hermann von Fran?ois raised his head after hearing this, took a puff of cigarette, squinted his eyes and looked at the Prime Minister of the Ukrainian ruling cabinet in front of him with a half-smile, a very meaningful gesture.

    Simon Petliura was a little confused when he saw the infantry general's appearance. Next to him, Lieutenant General von Dietrich, von Francois's chief of staff, laughed when he saw that Petliura had not recovered yet.  reminded,

    "My dear Prime Minister, the essence of Plan B is to delay time and wait for reinforcements from our fighter wing to enter Ukraine, including reinforcements from ground anti-aircraft artillery battalions. It is a strategy for us to buy time in a space in Eastern Ukraine.

    At the same time, on the diplomatic front, restarting negotiations with the Volga Federation is also a special strategy. The result of the negotiations is not important. The key is to buy precious time for our troops. This is a law of the jungle that competes with who has the bigger fist.  In the current era, the Volga Federation will of course charge exorbitant prices, but we can pay them back on the spot.

    Isn¡¯t your diplomatic representative Zhukovsky related to the Prime Minister of the Volga Federation?  As long as we can delay the launch of the offensive, even for just one day, it will bring us huge help. Do you understand?  "Von Dietrich smiled like a fox at this time, instructing the Prime Minister of Ukraine's ruling cabinet in this way.

    Damn it, it turns out that the Germans had such a calculation. Isn¡¯t this a fucking delaying tactic?  If I really want to fool the Volga Federation like this, after the other party comes to their senses and realizes that they have been deceived, what credibility does the Ukrainian government still have in front of the Volga Federation?  Will the two sides be in a fight to the death in the future?  Although Ukraine has a large population, it will not be able to withstand the offensive of the Eastern Front Allied Forces of the Allied Powers. By then, its own government will really be left with nothing to eat.

    When Simon Petliura realized what he was thinking, his face became embarrassed and ugly. While flicking the ashes and taking a few puffs of cigarette, his eyes wandered around trying to figure out how to answer the German.

    "What? My Excellency, Prime Minister, why are you still hesitating? Your diplomatic representative can now ask for negotiations with the Volga federal government in an open and honest manner. This is no better than the fact that you were sneaking around in Samara to hide your private affairs.  Much better? Why should we hesitate?" The 62-year-old German infantry general von Francois was obviously a little dissatisfied with the 39-year-old Ukrainian Prime Minister's reaction.

    Simon Petliura could not hide under the sharp gazes of the two German veterans, so he gritted his teeth and asked in a muffled voice,

    "My dear General, if we seriously reopen negotiations with the Volga Federation, what conditions can Berlin give us? The Volga Federation requires us to join their federation as an autonomous republic. Can Berlin agree? Berlin really wants to  If you agree, I will have to send you German troops out of the country. Have you thought clearly? Are you the ones in charge, General Wilhelm Greiner and General Hindenburg?  Can you make the decision?"

    Simon Petliura's evasive words were clearly an excuse and excuse without sincerity, but Von Francois was really choked up by the question and could not speak. Next to him, Chief of Staff Von Dietrich  Seeing this, he hurriedly turned around and said haha,

    "Hey, Mr. Prime Minister, please stop beating around the bush with us. Everyone knows that Berlin is trying to delay the war. Who told us that we underestimated and suddenly lost the air supremacy in Eastern Ukraine? Germany is Ukraine.  allies and staunch supporters and partners.

    At this difficult time, we will never leave you aloneThrowing it to the Volga Federation is a delaying tactic. If we can delay the opponent's attack by resuming negotiations, once we slow down and wait for reinforcements to arrive, the Allied Forces and the Volga Federation may be begging for mercy!  This is the so-called success of the king and defeat of the bandit!  "

    Von Dietrich was also a little anxious. Apparently, like his chief officer Francois, he did not expect Simon Petliura to refuse to agree. In their opinion, this was a no-brainer.  It was tacitly understood by everyone, but why was the other party hesitant? Could it be that the Ukrainian government really had the idea of ??jumping into a gang and messing around with the Allied Powers at any time?

    "Your Excellency Petliura, I advise you not to be half-hearted. When we ousted your government and then brought it back up, if you give up cooperation with the German government, we can overthrow your regime at any time and elect someone else. Don't think that you are using moral weapons.  With 12 divisions of equipment and equipment, the Ukrainian National Army can do as they please.

    If we hadn't won independence for Ukraine through the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, you and your men would still be circling in the valleys fighting guerrillas right now. If it weren't for our German army helping you, the Ukrainian National Union, to take power.  After driving away the Bolsheviks entrenched in Kharkov, where do you now have the title and identity of prime minister of the ruling cabinet and commander-in-chief of the national army?  "

    Von Dietrich's series of questions made Simon Petliura blush. The guy gritted his teeth and made up his mind to take this opportunity to let Zhukovsky in Samara again.  Test the bottom line of the Volga Federation and the Allied Powers. If we can really negotiate something, wouldn't it be better than hanging on the German tree?

    "Okay, you two, although my government and I are unswervingly standing in the same trench with Germany, who is causing us to suffer now? Since this is Berlin's request, my government and I  I can only grit my teeth and fool the Volga Federation and them one more time. Every day I can delay is worth it. Even if it is to buy time for my government agencies to evacuate from Kharkov, it is worth it. But I will say something ugly up front. The appetite of the Volga Federation  It¡¯s very big. Since we have to compromise and start negotiations, I will dare to agree to anything by then! Berlin must be mentally prepared!¡±

    Simon Petliura's words were true and false, but von Francois and von Dietrich were secretly surprised. The infantry general frowned and said, "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I don't care about you."  How did you deceive the Volga Federation and the Allied Forces during the discussion? I just want to draw your attention. Any betrayal or betrayal of Germany will cause irreparable losses to Ukraine. You and your subordinates must remember this! "
