Song Biao didn't even have the emperor's dragon robe. After all, he was on the battlefield. He continued to wear the generalissimo uniform of the supreme military commander. After he stopped in the middle of the hall, Ulyanov and Bru who had walked over earlier

General Silov bowed and saluted together to express respect for the imperial family and His Majesty the Emperor.

After they bowed, Song Biao stretched out his hand to shake hands with Chairman Ulyanov and General Brusilov who continued to walk up.

General Brusilov is a real old friend, and he is also one of the founders of the Imperial Cavalry and the Far East Military Academy. War is war, and personal relationships are personal relationships. When shaking hands with him, Song Biao said with emotion: "Very good."

It’s hard to imagine that we could become enemies on such a battlefield.”

General Brusilov replied calmly: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, if you had not insisted on invading our country, there would be no need for me to be your enemy."

Song Biao did not feel embarrassed. Instead, he nodded slightly and said: "Russia has invaded our country too much. It is rare for us to invade our country, so that you Russians can also experience how it feels to be invaded!"

Hearing such words, General Brusilov felt a little embarrassed.

Song Biao was accustomed to inviting General Brusilov and Chairman Ulyanov to sit down. In the Ural Hall, a rectangular mahogany desk was arranged in the inner court. Song Biao sat on the north side, which was always the characteristic of the emperor.

North faces south, while General Brusilov and Chairman Ulyanov sit opposite each other on the south side.

Song Biao is proficient in Russian, and General Brusilov is proficient in Mandarin with a Northeastern flavor. Basically, there is no need for an interpreter to accompany him, because Chairman Ulyanov’s proposal, relayed by General Brusilov, is to proceed secretly first.

talks, so the fewer people present, the better.

On the Soviet side, there were only the two of them, while on the imperial side, only Song Biao was in charge of the negotiations. Jiang Zuobin and Zhang Futian were accompanied by several second-class chamberlains and several first-class secret service guards.

Although it is impossible for these two men to have weapons hidden on their bodies, if they plan to assassinate the emperor with their bare hands, it is possible. Even if they are seeking death, the Secret Service cannot be completely relieved.

As soon as Chairman Ulyanov sat down, he couldn't wait to say to Song Biao: "Your Majesty, on behalf of all the citizens of Soviet Russia and all the Bushwicks in the world, I would like to express the highest respect to you for leading the poor people to resist Europe.

On the road to imperialist hegemony, you are the most important pioneer in the world.

It is under your leadership that an ancient civilization like China can shine with new glory and win great victories against hegemonic empires such as Britain, France, and Germany. Here, we, the Soviet People's Committee of Russia, very much hope to work with you.

Together with China, we will continue to resist the imperial hegemony of Britain, France and the United States."

Chairman Ulyanov is obviously not a simple person who wears a high hat and flatters others. He is the leader of the people's movement. His words are just and righteous, and he is very passionate and infectious. He is also sincere.

Song Biao nodded slightly, but said: "China is a country full of disasters. We are facing huge pressure for national survival. To put it simply, our population is too large. So, I regret to say that China is not only

We must get back the territories we lost and occupied from Russia, and at the same time seek to actively immigrate to the central and eastern regions of Russia.

Conditions. There are both just and unjust aspects of war. This war is obviously unjust for Russia, and it is also a helpless move for our country. As the emperor, I cannot sit back and watch hundreds of millions of people suffer from hunger.

Unjust, unfair, but I have to win this war, and I and the country are very full. General Brusilov.

We have known each other for many years. I think based on your understanding of me, you can believe that I am really prepared for everything this time. Although I cannot clearly state my battle plan with you, if the Soviet Union takes a long-term

A counter-balanced war of attrition strategy. The final outcome will be very cruel. You fight for population. In fact, I welcome you.

If I continue to fight like this, I will not suffer any damage at all if I fight off my two million people. If I fight off your five million people, the Soviet Union will basically collapse. And my bottom line is how many people I have to fight off. This data is not

I may tell you, but it must be much higher than the figure of two million, because I have always not been afraid of any sacrifices, nor have I fought an uncertain battle."

He said it very directly and basically gave the other party no room for maneuver. He wanted to completely destroy the other party's negotiating confidence.

General Brusilov and Chairman Ulyanov both shuddered when they heard this, because they knew very well that normal Russia could block it, but the current Russia could not block it at all, not to mention that there were still other countries on the Western and Southern Fronts.

White Army, Allied Forces.

After thinking for a moment, Chairman Ulyanov took the initiative and suggested: "Your Majesty, please let us consider each other's difficulties. From the perspective of the entire international situation, China and Russia must cease the war as soon as possible and jointly fight against the aggression and oppression of European imperialism.

We need a united force..."

Song Biao waved his hand to interrupt him and said: "Your Excellency, the reality is cruel. The existence of Soviet Russia can distract Europe from all kinds of pressure on China's rise. I don't want Soviet Russia to be completely eliminated, but

Survival is higher than development. Between survival and development, we can only give priority to survival. So if you want peace talks, you

We can only accept our country's conditions. This is the only way. Of course, in other fields, we can still maintain very close cooperation. If Soviet Russia agrees to our armistice conditions, I can now secretly store the goods in Omsk

I will sell you a large amount of military equipment so that you can resist the invasion of the British, French and White armies."

What he said is very interesting.

Chairman Ulyanov is a very proficient red leader who is good at taking advantage of the international situation. He did not seek peace talks with Britain and France, but was eager to seek peace talks with China because he saw that the internal conflicts within the Allied Powers were also very fierce, and the mutual conflict between China and Britain

Suppression and counter-suppression are equally powerful.

After thinking for a while, Chairman Ulyanov suggested: "Your Majesty, can we choose another path? First of all, I suggest that China and Russia use the Yenisei River as a permanent national boundary, and both sides will always have this relationship.

There is no dispute. From Omsk to Irkutsk, our country will establish a special autonomous region to allow the Chinese people to enter the area to cultivate land and engage in industrial production. Regarding reparations, the People's Committee hopes that China will consider the current situation in Russia and will

The total amount shall be reduced by half, and the compensation period shall be appropriately extended to

Thirty years ago, regarding Central Asia, the People's Committee was willing to recognize the independence of the Turkic-speaking peoples in the southern region adjacent to Iran. As for the Caucasus region, considering the long-term friendship between the Russian people and the Caucasus people, the People's Committee hoped that China would withdraw its troops and maintain peace in the region. However,

The Council of People's Commissars guarantees China's oil field interests in the Baku area. Of course, finally regarding Eastern Europe, I hope that His Majesty and China can maintain a more neutral attitude, especially regarding the Brest-Litovsk Treaty that the German Empire forced our people to sign.

question."

Lenin's proposal could not be clearer. If Germany is defeated, he will immediately renege on the Brest-Litovsk Treaty signed with Germany. To this end, he can make more concessions to China in exchange for China's reneging on Russia.

The support of a contract also takes advantage of China's need to contain European imperialism in Eastern Europe.

Lenin was not willing to give up the Baku Oilfield. This oilfield was indeed too important. In 1913, the production capacity of the Baku Oilfield accounted for almost 40% of the world's oil production capacity. According to estimates by the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company, the oil production capacity here reached an annual

The scale of 100 million tons can also be maintained for a long time.

The Soviet revolution needed money, and this money naturally came from the Baku oil fields.

For this reason, the Soviet Union made a big concession and took the initiative to cede the area east of the Yenisei River to China. But what is the significance of this area? It is basically a large no-man's land. The so-called south

The Siberian region was set up as a special autonomous region, allowing Chinese immigration and reclamation. In fact, it was just a ploy.

Once Soviet Russia becomes stronger, will they admit it?

Although Lenin once said many fair and honest remarks, he was actually very sinister and ruthless. On the surface, he agreed to Germany's conditions and ceded a large amount of territory, but then regained it in the form of a franchising country by exporting revolution. Azerbaijan did not accept revolution.

Export, forcefully sending troops to occupy the country as soon as the civil war ended.

What about so-called leaders?

The more you deal with people who are upright on the outside and vicious in their methods, the more careful you have to be.

Song Biao thought silently for a while, and finally replied: "It's a pity. Mr. Ulyanov, I know very well what kind of country Soviet Russia is, and what are you planning. I originally thought you were

You came here to discuss peace with me very sincerely, but it turns out that this is not the case. Although you may not admit it, the policies you are pursuing are nothing more than delaying the war.

One day, you will lead the Red Army to fight back and expel us. As long as you can protect yourself, you will be eager to export your revolution to other worlds, including our country. There are two types of exploitation in the human world. One is

One is economic exploitation, which is what you call the exploitation of surplus value. The other is political exploitation. I can simplify this kind of exploitation.

It is called the exploitation of the right to freedom of life. Freedom is the most important foundation of life. Without freedom, it is a slave society that is inferior to feudal society. No matter how noble you promote your revolution, from the moment you force it with armed force

When you deprive the Mensheviks of their political rights, I can be convinced that the new Soviet Russia you dominate is a country that deprives others of their human rights and freedoms.

Political exploitation of the country by the capitalists. What you call capitalist and capitalist surplus value exploitation is essentially just a kind of utilization. As a free person, you can choose to be exploited, or choose not to be exploited, but in the situation you have established

In the new regime, everyone can only choose to be ruled and participate in rule, without any personal rights at all, which is anti-human progress."

Song Biao originally did not want to discuss this kind of philosophical issue with a philosopher, nor did he want to discuss this issue with Comrade Lenin, but he decided to speak out.

Having said this, he stopped temporarily, slowly took out a Cuban cigar from the cigar box, lit it, and smoked in silence, recalling all the misfortunes in human history.

Lenin.

Chairman Vladimir Ulyanov kept explaining the proletarian revolutionary theory rationally and wisely, as if he was treating the emperor Song Biao as a debater. His voice was not high and his speaking speed was not fast, but he seemed

Very serious and persuasive.

No matter what he was saying, Song Biao didn't listen to a word. He seemed to have suddenly turned off his Russian translation function and was thinking about what he wanted to think about.

final.

After about a few minutes of eloquent debate, Chairman Vladimir Ulyanov had roughly finished talking about topics such as the meaning of revolution and the value of human beings, and was waiting for His Majesty Hua’s refutation, or for His Majesty Hua’s

When His Majesty is unable to refute.

Hua Huang.

His Majesty the Emperor of the Chinese Empire, Emperor Shenwu.

Song Biao put the half-smoked cigar on the copper plate stand and let it go out on its own. Finally, he looked seriously at Lenin, who could be regarded as a great leader to some extent, and replied: "For the Chinese people

freedom, for the freedom of Asia, for the freedom of Europeans, for the freedom of the world

Freedom, I am willing to give up the territorial and interest requirements required by the empire, and even share the interests of the Azerbaijan oil area with Britain and France. I will destroy your revolution at all costs and re-contract a peaceful Sino-Russian friendship agreement. I will not take an inch more.

Territory, we just ask Russia to agree to the freedom of our people

By immigrating to the southern Siberian plains in central and eastern Russia in order to alleviate our country's population survival crisis, even if it means becoming a citizen of a free Russia and contributing to the Russian economy, this is one of my basic tasks as the emperor of the Chinese nation.

Finally, I think our confidential conversation has been lost

I failed because you were not as sincere as I expected. You were just hypocritical and wanted to take advantage of our country's greed. In fact, we are not as greedy as you imagined. Although our country is becoming an emerging empire, it also has its own

values ​​and long historical heritage of ancient culture.”

At this point, he finally said to General Alexei Brusilov: "Let's talk about it here, my friend, if you are willing, I will convey to General Madnidov and Gore on your behalf

Commander Chak’s greetings, and I hope you can convey my greetings from China to all Russians who are still willing to call for freedom.”

General Alexey Brusilov was really embarrassed at this moment. Deep in his heart, he couldn't wait to welcome the secret negotiation between Hua Huang and Lenin to end in this way, but at this moment he could only remain silent and speechless.

right.
