    August 12, 1918, 18:00, Moscow, Kremlin

    "Comrade Chairman, fellow Central Committee members, the general situation is this. The Volga Federation has given an ultimatum, either to abandon Bolshevism and the Soviet Union to join the Allied camp, or to abandon Moscow and Petrograd and go to Belarus and Poland to establish  Soviets, all the people who are willing to follow the Soviets can follow us" The People's Commissar of Foreign Affairs, who had rushed back from Samara after a long journey, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and laid out the peace conditions proposed by the Volga Federation on the table  "".

    "Asshole! This is blackmail. The Soviets will never surrender to the enemy. Moscow and Petrograd are the heart and headquarters of Soviet Russia, the birthplace of the working class, and the most important achievements of our revolution. This is absolutely not allowed!  Comrade Chicherin, I doubt whether you have lost the courage to fight the enemy. I suggest that the Politburo and the Central Committee examine whether the People¡¯s Commissar for Foreign Affairs¡¯ visit to Samara included any dereliction of duty and betrayal of the Soviet Union!¡±

    The first one who jumped out was Bukharin, the editor-in-chief of Pravda. As the mouthpiece, theoretician and orator of the party that controls the field of news and propaganda, and as the representative of the extreme left in the Central Committee of the Soviet Union, this guy¡¯s face was ashen and his saliva was spitting.  Hengfei slapped the table and roared, pointing the finger at Chicherin, the center-right People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs. In Bukharin's view, Chicherin's old rightist habits were committed again, and not lightly.  The King of China, his Eastern Front Allied Forces, and the Volga Federation were frightened to death by their blackmail!

    "You are the bastard! You and your family are all bastards! Can shouting slogans destroy Kolchak's White Guards? Can shouting slogans defeat the Volga Federation and the Allied Forces on the Eastern Front? Those who go to Samara, the heart of the enemy, to negotiate without changing their expressions become traitors.  , who was hiding in the dark corners of the Kremlin and engaged in conspiracy became a hero! I asked the Central Committee Member Bukharin to apologize to me, and I asked the Central Committee to seriously criticize his inappropriate remarks just now!  , I welcome the Central Committee¡¯s review at any time. If I betray the Soviet Union in any way, I will be shot!¡±

    Chicherin, who was proficient in six languages, was a Tsarist Russian aristocrat and a technocrat in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He was the true diplomatic elite of this era. If the class struggle theory of Soviet Russia and the w¨¥ixi¨¦ of purging counter-revolutionaries had not suppressed Chichev's performance,  This made him choose to be more cautious and self-protective in the centre-right position. Chicherin's status and importance in the Central Committee of Soviet Russia was much stronger than that of Bukharin, the penman. The diplomatic battlefield is not a stage where problems can be solved by shouting slogans, being tough but having a soft heart.  Even though Bukharin was a top student in the Journalism Department of Moscow State University, compared to Chicherin, his foundation in all aspects was far inferior.

    The good old Chicherin slapped the table at the top of his lungs and roared. Bukharin's momentum suddenly weakened a bit. The members of the Soviet Central Committee were preoccupied. Suddenly, no one stood up to speak. After Chicherin slapped the table  After that, he sat back on the chair angrily. The hand that picked up the teapot was still trembling. It was obvious that he was in a very agitated mood. Bukharin was a shimmy, just a dog that could only bark and shout slogans!

    If Ulyanov and Trotsky Ruguo did not stand up for justice, Chicherin secretly gritted his teeth and made a decision. After the meeting, he would directly find an opportunity to say goodbye to Moscow. Even if he went into exile overseas, he would no longer be with this gang.  The guy got mixed up!

    "Comrade Bukharin, there is no doubt about the People's Commissar of Foreign Affairs' loyalty to the Soviet. The Cheka has never found Comrade Chicherin to have defected to the enemy or betrayed Soviet interests. I think you must apologize to Chicherin!" Trotz  Ji spoke with a stern face. Although Chicherin looked weak, he actually had some strong points as an intellectual in his heart. Bukharin was a good hand at writing press releases and shouting slogans to mobilize the working class, but he was far less effective at the diplomatic front.  No match for Chicherin.

    "I agree with Comrade Trotsky. Bukharin's words and deeds just now are inappropriate and he must apologize. However, the situation is urgent. This is not a time for internal strife among the Central Committee members. We must make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise  , by the time the Germans betray us, it will be too late!" Sverdlov stood up to support Trotsky. In fact, by doing so, it was obvious that Ulyanov, who had not yet spoken, was left in the dark.  After a moment, it was obvious that the Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Supreme Military Council had the courage to act in the same manner in the face of such a severe situation.

    "Apologise! Comrade Bukharin!" the little leader waved his hand and said impatiently. Seeing that the three giants did not support Ziji, Bukharin had no choice but to mutter an apology to the People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs. Chicherin turned his head and said nothing.  Ignoring him, I sighed in my heart, thinking that this was all going on and they were still fighting among themselves. Are they looking for a scapegoat? There is not much time left for the survival of the Soviet Union!

    ¡°Although Comrade Bukharin¡¯s words are inappropriate, I think it is simply a joke to ask our Soviet Russia to abandon Moscow and Petrograd.Laugh, can the working class agree?  Can the Soviets in Moscow and Petrograd agree?  Isn't this playing the piano randomly?  I think the Volga Federation is simply teasing us!  "The speaker was Bubnov. After taking over Comrade Joseph's position as People's Commissar of Nationalities, Bubnov was almost an idle member of the Central Committee.

    "Well go on! Comrade Bubnov, you have accumulated a lot of experience in Ukraine and Tsaritsyn. If we don't agree to the Volga Federation's blackmail, what do you think the situation will be like?!" Uri  Yanovsky was in a state of confusion, but he tried his best to keep calm on his face. He waved his hand to Bubnov to come out with some practical information and not just talk nonsense.

    "There is nothing more to say. Arm the entire working class and fight the Volga Federation to the end. Of course, we must obtain the support of the German and Austrian Allies. There must be no shortage of weapons, ammunition, food and supplies. Otherwise, how can we fight like a wolf and a tiger?  The Allied Forces on the Eastern Front? It took a lot of effort to deal with Kolchak!" Bubnov's words disappointed the Soviet Central Committee members in the conference room. It was simply a clich¨¦ and nothing new, and it was just wishful thinking!

    "Comrade Bubnov, maybe you have to see that the current situation is that the Germans are seeking peace with the Volga Federation, and Soviet Russia is the other side's top priority to give up and use it as a bargaining chip in exchange. This shihou, it is said that shime relies on the Allies  Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s a castle in the air to fight to the death with the Volga Federation!¡± Although Zinoviev had a good personal relationship with Bubnov, his words were rude at this time.
