Jagged Germany

Chapter 869: Joseph's Victory (Tenth)

"The last agreement, Comrade Joseph successfully got the Germans to agree to help us build a batch of battleships. Judging from the statistics, it is definitely the most powerful battleship in the world. Comrade Joseph will explain it to everyone!" Uriano Husband said.

   "Okay, Comrade Chairman!" Joseph nodded.

"Comrades, I participated in the German military parade and ship review. I have a taste of what the most powerful army in the world looks like. I have to admit that the German army and navy are actually the most powerful. Not to mention the army, the advanced capital ships of the German Navy alone are enough to shock people. The German Navy has the most powerful capital ship formation in the world. Even if they sold 18 capital ships, The remaining 16 capital ships are still the most powerful capital ships in the world. In comparison, our navy is too weak. Even, we no longer have the ability to build capital ships." Joseph said .

"Although, now we have good relations with Germany. However, everyone knows that war will inevitably break out between our two countries in the future. Germany will not tolerate a powerful country by their side. And if we want to liberate the world, Germany will China's imperialist countries must also be defeated by us. However, our military strength is inherently weaker than that of Germany. Therefore, we must find a way from other places. Most of the German shipbuilding industry is concentrated on the coast of the Baltic Sea. If If we can have a powerful navy in the Baltic Sea, we can pose a great threat to the Germans. We can even launch attacks on the coast of the Germans and destroy their industries when war breaks out. In this case, it is very important for us to defeat The Germans were very helpful," Joseph continued.

"Comrade Joseph, you think all this is too simple. Will the Germans be kind enough to help us build battleships? They will definitely make a lot of profits from us. In addition, even a few battleships cannot change us. The fact that our navy is much weaker than that of the Germans. Compared with the Germans, our navy can’t pose any threat to them at all. Even if we start a war, it may be wiped out by the Germans. Instead of wasting a lot of It is better to concentrate on the development of the army than to use the resources to build the navy. Only when the army is strong can we resist the German attack and even defeat the Germans!" Trotsky retorted.

"Comrade Trotsky, I do not deny that even if we acquire a few powerful battleships, we are not an opponent of the German Navy. However, we do not need to confront the German Navy at all. The German Navy needs to be deployed around the world to protect their overseas Benefits. There will not be much force deployed in the Baltic Sea. In addition, the enemy of the German navy is also very powerful. Therefore, we can still have an advantage in the Baltic Sea." Joseph said.

   "This is just your one-sided statement. I don't believe that the Germans will really help us build a powerful capital ship." Trotsky was not ready to let go on this issue.

"This is guaranteed by the German Kaiser himself. I think the German Kaiser's guarantee should be correct. No matter what, Germany is the most powerful in the world. If the Kaiser's guarantee can't be counted, then Germany still can't count. Have a reputation?" Joseph said.

"The battleship built by the Germans for us has a displacement of more than 45,000 tons, is equipped with three triple-mounted 410mm main guns, and has a maximum speed of 24 knots. The thickness of the main armor is also more than 400mm. If such a battleship is not considered the world's If you are on the most powerful battleship, what kind of battleship can be considered the most powerful battleship?" Joseph continued.

   "Well, don't think about this issue. We have a strong navy, which is also very necessary. Let the Germans help us build four battleships!" Ulyanov made a decision.

   "Yes, Your Excellency Chairman." Joseph and others replied.

  Although Trotsky was unwilling, he had no choice but to say no more. Ulyanov had already decided, if he objected again, it would definitely cause Ulyanov's dissatisfaction. Trotsky did not want to offend Ulyanov at this juncture.

   After talking about these business matters, Ulyanov glanced at Joseph.

  Joseph stood up and said to everyone: "Comrades, I am formally proposing to the Politburo to resign from the post of People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs. I hope the Politburo can approve it!"

   Except for Joseph and Ulyanov, everyone else was stunned. Obviously, no one expected that Joseph would make such a decision.

   Trotsky was even more stunned, he was wondering why Joseph would do this.

   "If you have no objections, then approve the resignation of Comrade Joseph! The new People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs, I propose to be Comrade Chicherin. Do you have any opinions on this?" Ulyanov asked.

   Chicherin was the Deputy People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs before, and at the same time, this is the candidate proposed by Ulyanov. Of course, others will not object to this.

   "In addition, the plan to build battleships for the navy was proposed by Comrade Joseph. Therefore, I intend to hand over this plan to Comrade Joseph. Do you have any opinions on this?" Ulyanov asked.

  Although, Trotsky believes that this should be the responsibility of him, the chairman of the Revolutionary Military Council and the People's Commissar of the Army and Navy. However, he didn't want to get involved, so he didn't object.

   "In this case, let Comrade Joseph serve as the naval commissioner. In this case, Comrade Trotsky's pressure can also be relieved!" Ulyanov continued.

   "Comrade Chairman, my work is not busy. I can continue to do the work of the Navy Commissioner!" Trotsky said quickly.

   Now he understood Ulyanov and Joseph's intentions, but it was too late.

   "Comrade Trotsky's spirit is worth learning from. However, I still think that Comrade Trotsky should not be too tired!" Ulyanov emphasized.

   Seeing this, Trotsky deserves a compromise. Ulyanov has clearly pointed this out. If he refuses again, it will be no different from tearing his face. At this time, Trotsky did not want to do that. Ulyanov's prestige is unmatched by him. After Ulyanov died, no one could suppress him. So, now he has to be patient.
