    August 10, 1918, 19:00, Volga Federation, Samara Government Building, Reception Room of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs

    "Georgi Vasilyevich, what brought you all the way from Moscow? In the battle of Kursil, the Soviet government was not honest. It opened the border and allowed the German devils to pass through your territory.  Is it because we issued a diplomatic note and protest that your little leader sent you here to make a sneak attack on our Volga Federation? You didn't even introduce the two powerful men behind you?"

    Pepelyaev, Prime Minister of the Volga Federal Government Cabinet, looked proud of the spring breeze. He stretched out his hand to shake hands with Chicherin, the People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs of the Soviet Union, but was still undecided.  ¬¸Shawhuoyae "Yuan is called Xin ShuoliuùÃæÀÊ¢v Huangqin Yanxia is good at pushing the teamø£¬»team­´erosionøÞShaanxi Lainai¬ÊBiya Gongya Kangyuªµstirring like a limping Xin Zhi Tridaca abrasalis Shanxihuan  Quba?

    In fact, the hotline telegram between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Soviet Union in Moscow and the Volga Federation went back and forth several times throughout the night. Chicherin, Joffe, and the German envoy set out from Moscow by train along the route of Ryazan, Penza, and Kuznetsk.  The railway line took a whole day to cross nearly 900 kilometers of road and only crossed the Volga River before evening. The Volga River bridge between Samara and Syzran is still under repair and is expected to be completed and opened to traffic by the end of August.

    "My dear Vasily Nikolayevich, I made a special trip just to clear up the misunderstanding between Moscow and Samara about Kursk. I was really sweating and worried along the way.  Kolchak's Cossack cavalry suddenly appeared and intercepted the train, and then there would be no way to explain it to Moscow and your commander-in-chief!"

    Chicherin was not joking when he said this. From Moscow to Samara, the delegation was most worried about not being able to arrive secretly and safely. If the news got out, Kolchak's White Guards would never sit idly by.  Ignore it, of course. At this moment, the main forces of the Soviet Red Army and the White Guard are concentrated on the line of Nizhny Novgorod Saransk and Cheboksary Shumelya Alatri. The south is close to the territory of the Volga Federation. In theory,  The White Guards did not dare to cross the line easily.

    "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, let me introduce to you that this is Joffe, Deputy People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs and Special Representative of the Soviet Union in Berlin. This is the mysterious Berlin guest mentioned in the telegram, Gustav Stresemann, a member of the German Parliament.  , he shoulders the special mission of seeking peace in the German Empire. In order to be open and honest, he did not use a pseudonym. I believe that in front of the Prime Minister, all guests who come to the Volga Federation have no secrets!"

    Chicherin introduced Joffe and Stresemann to Pepelyayev. This time, the Prime Minister of the Volga Federation only smiled and stretched out his hand to shake hands. The guests and hosts quickly took their seats, because Pepelyaev had  I attended a military meeting at the Allied Forces Headquarters, so the Foreign Affairs Reception Office of the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs only arranged for the Soviet delegation to eat in the restaurant of the Guest House. Although the food was less rich than the previous one, it was still better than the Kremlin.  Gong Lai is still rich.

    Even in Berlin, the parliamentarians of the German Empire had never seen so many fresh vegetables, fruits, meat, fish and eggs, and even oriental foods such as tofu and vegetarian chicken and roast duck. After all, the war lasted for four years, and the Germans  His vitality has also been almost depleted. As a wealthy German parliamentarian, Gustav Stresemann's luxury level is only enough to eat a pig's trotter from time to time.

    The waiters in palace maid uniforms quickly served coffee and tea to the Prime Minister and the guests, and then quietly retreated. After the heavy oak door was closed, the atmosphere in the entire reception room seemed much more solemn.  Outside the long curtains, one could faintly hear the footsteps of patrolling sentries in the front yard and the command to change the guard. The long floor-to-ceiling curtains swayed slightly under the caress of the night wind, and the room fell into silence for a moment.

    The tripartite talks were the result of Chicherin's insistence on behalf of the Soviet Union. Naturally, Gustav Stresemann was also an excellent diplomatic intermediary. This time, he came to the Volga Federation to seek peace through Soviet-Russian Moscow.  It's still light. The worst result of Ludendorff's plan is to plant a nail within the Allied Powers, causing the United States, Britain and France on the Western Front to begin to have suspicion and distrust of China and Japan on the Eastern Front. This is the worst possible outcome.  result.

    As for the best result, that is to separate the Sino-Japanese Alliance from the Allied Powers camp in the name of peace. Even if it cannot formally join the Allied Powers camp, even if it maintains de facto neutrality, the Eastern Front will no longer become a thorn in the side of the German-Austrian Allies.  So you can give it a try on the Western Front.

    "Dear Chancellor, I am here as a special representative of the German Army High Command to exchange views with the Volga Federation on the situation on the Eastern Front and Ukraine. Thank you very much for your hospitality before, but time is running out. I still hope to  Let¡¯s get to the point as soon as possible. You must know that without the support of Germany, the Volga Federation and Soviet Russia could not conclude a peace treaty. It was called the Samara Peace Treaty, right?At this point, you owe us a favor!  "

    The 40-year-old Gustav Stresemann has big, watery eyes. The sequelae of excessive double eyelids in men is that they always make people feel a bit effeminate. The German envoy¡¯s forehead is bald early and bright. Damn it.  Although he was not proficient in Russian, he expressed his ideas clearly and he went straight to the point to gain the upper hand.

    "Mr. Special Envoy, the establishment of the Volga Federation is the choice of the people of this land, not a charity from the Soviets and Berlin. Of course, I do not deny that if Berlin does not relent, the Bolshevik comrades in Moscow will still be tied up.  They dare not make decisions that conform to the trend of the times. If they want to owe Berlin a favor, it must be Chicherin and Joffe!

    But what I want to question is that the Volga Federation did not invade an inch of German territory, but not long ago one of your main infantry divisions stationed in Ukraine actually falsely claimed that Soviet Russia launched an attack on our Kursk region. The consequences of this incident are very serious.  I believe that everyone here has seen the protest and statement of the Volga Federation from ancient news media!  "

    As the federal prime minister, Pepelyaev has grown very quickly in just six months. Now is not the time when he was the prime minister of the White Guard military government. Now the Volga Federation is an important regime on the Eastern Front, and the scope of a big country is indispensable.  , no matter how awesome the Germans are, they are in Germany, and this is Samara!

    Gustav rolled his eyes when he heard this, without showing any signs of weakness, and his voice was not high but very chewy, "Dear Prime Minister, if I remember correctly, it was your troops who took the lead in crossing the Ukrainian border, brazenly  The attack on Kharkov was launched, and if anyone fired the first shot, it was not us, Germany!¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s a problem between us and Ukraine, what does it have to do with Germany?!¡± Pepe¡¯s voice suddenly became louder!
