Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "The current strength difference between the Volga Federation and Ukraine is not a major issue. Ukraine has an area of ??600,000 square kilometers and a population of more than 15 million. Although the Volga Federation is twice as large as Ukraine at this time, its population is only about 10 million.  In terms of arable land area, the Volga Federation may not necessarily have more than Ukraine. The reserves of the Donets coalfield in the other country are definitely much larger than those near Rostov-on-Don. Even with the reserves of the Kursk coalfield, we have  It may not have more coal and iron ore than the other party! Ukraine still has great potential!¡±

    Wang Geng counted the accounts for Pepelyayev with his fingers. Pepely nodded silently, and then asked suspiciously, the fastest update, all text typed by hand

    "Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, what is the reason? We cannot accept Ukraine's proposal to form a strategic alliance. I think the Germans will have to withdraw sooner or later. Maybe that Simon Petliula wants to avoid being defeated by Soviet Russia in the north.  Do you really intend to annex it under the pretext of recovering lost territory and find a way out from our Volga Federation? Since Ukraine has such huge potential, we have no reason to push him to the Germans or Soviet Russia, right?"

    Speaking of this, Vasily Nikolayevich Pepelyayev finally revealed a hint of his innermost thoughts. He is already overwhelmed with managing the 10 million people of the Volga Federation.  In addition, the burden of Ukraine's 15 million people is placed on his shoulders. This guy is afraid that he will not be able to bear it. Even if he does not want to be as useless as Xiaofu Ji'an, Pepelyayev, who was born as a playboy, is not blindly pursuing the success of others.  How bold, Lord of the land, how fruitful.  Read the latest chapter

    In other words, if the Volga Federation maintains its current territory, Vasily Nikolayevich Pepelyayev feels that he can barely cope with the position of federal prime minister, as long as he does not lose Wang Geng's position.  I believe that if the territory continues to expand and the population and land of the Volga Federation double again, Pepe will be a little worried that he will not be able to cope with it. In the end, the king of China will have to find a guy with more outstanding ability to choose a leader.  .

    Therefore, for Pepelyaev, if he takes over Ukraine in the form of an alliance, it may be a safer choice for him and those who follow him than absorbing Ukraine as an autonomous republic. He cannot blame Pepelyaev.  Peryaev has no future. With such a large territory, not everyone can learn from Cao Cao. Sun Quan is Sun Quan's destiny. Liu Bei also has Liu Bei's fate. If Adou is forced to become Cao Pi, there will definitely be trouble. Haste makes waste.  Peipei understands the principle that greed is not enough and it is not enough.

    "Nothing can be made without cutting it. Ukraine has just emerged from a state of civil war that divided eight countries and seven countries. With the support of the Germans, it has been unified under the banner of the Ukrainian National Union. That Simon Petliura is still somewhat popular and capable. I don't think so.  I am worried that absorbing Ukraine through an alliance will lead to problems such as being too weak or losing the power. Isn¡¯t it true that the Western Siberian government has also failed to merge into the Volga Federation? Isn¡¯t it true that everyone is still cooperating as closely as a family?  ?¡±

    Wang Geng stood up and paced back and forth in the office. Pepelyaev on the sofa hurriedly put out the cigarette in his hand and stood up to wait respectfully. The boss was standing in front of him. How could he dare to be so trusting?  Sitting?

    "My judgment is that the Germans do not intend to give up Ukraine, and the ruling cabinet controlled by the Ukrainian National Union does not really intend to give up the support of the German-Austrian Allies and join the Allied camp. This is the key to the problem! The so-called insincerity  , all other confessions and pretense are in vain!" Wang Geng stopped and explained to the Prime Minister of the Volga Federation.

    Hearing this, Pepelyaev became anxious and finally revealed the secret conditions Zhukovsky had given him.

    "Well, Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, although the Germans may not want to give up Ukraine, I see that the Ukrainian government may really not want to continue fighting with us. The diplomatic representative of Simon Petliura is the same Ukrainian who came to me just now.  Gola Nikolayevich Zhukovsky, this guy~~~This guy said that in order to show the Ukrainian government¡¯s sincerity in pursuing peace, the Ukrainian government is willing to cede Ukraine as long as we agree to armistice talks and mutual recognition between the two sides.  Limu Peninsula to the Volga Federation!¡±

    Pepelyaev breathed a little quickly when he said the condition proposed by the other party. The Crimean Peninsula is the base camp of the Russian Black Sea Fleet and the core area that controls the Sea of ??Azov and the Black Sea. After the Russian October Revolution last year, the Black Sea Fleet held the Bolshevik  In the subsequent civil war, in order to prevent the Black Sea Fleet from falling into the hands of the White Army and foreign invading forces, Ulyanov ordered the fleet to scuttle on June 18, 1918. The Crimean Peninsula changed hands several times, and finally ended up in Krakow.  Under the appeasement policy of Snov, the leader of the White Guards, the White Guards withdrew from the Crimean Peninsula, and the base camp of the Black Sea Fleet fell into the hands of the Ukrainian government supported by Germany.

    ¡°Oh"Wang Geng raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "It seems that Simon Petliura has paid a big price this time. Could it be that our one morning air battle and one afternoon air raid scared the commander-in-chief of the national army out of his wits?  ?  Vasily Nikolayevich, it was only after that Zhukovsky offered such a price that you were tempted to come to me all night, right?  "

    "Hey, you saw it. If Zhukovsky hadn't vowed to cede the Crimean Peninsula to the Volga Federation in order to show the Ukrainian government's sincerity in mutual recognition of peace talks and establishment of peace talks, how could I have disturbed the President so late?  Your Excellency, Commander, is resting. Is there anything you can't talk about tomorrow?

    But it seems that the Ukrainian government is really anxious. Zhukovsky even said that as long as we promise a ceasefire, ground troops will not cross the Ukrainian border, and the coalition will no longer dispatch air fleets to attack Ukraine, they can cede the Crimean Peninsula first.  The withdrawal and transfer of troops from the Crimean Peninsula can be completed within three days, and then the two sides will negotiate and establish mutual recognition!  "Pepelyaev looked at the Chinese King with a rather eager face.

    Wang Geng frowned after hearing this and paced back and forth in the office for a few steps. Pepelyaev's eyes followed the movement of the Chinese king without blinking. Seeing that Wang Geng seemed to be a little undecided, this guy couldn't stand it.  I can't help but say,

    "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, let me tell you, the Ukrainian government has spent some real money to negotiate for peace. This is much better than the last time they relied on the support of the German and Austrian Allies, not to mention the other side.  They say that Crimea should be ceded first, and then the peace talks on establishing diplomatic relations can be completed. The German and Ukrainian garrisons in Crimea can be withdrawn within three days and all handed over to our Volga Federation. I think this condition is worth considering. Anyway, we will not lose anything.  If we wait three days and capture Crimea without firing a shot, it will definitely be a big gain!"
