"These small Central Asian countries do not pose a threat to the Soviets. In the future, Germany will only have 100,000 troops here, which is similar to the current troops. It is supported by the Fergana Basin and several major cities." Ribbintrov smiled, "I think it should be that they are afraid of you, not you are afraid of Central Asians. Comrade Stalin has ethnic minorities that he dislikes in other areas, and can also go to Central Asia, so that Russia can be purer."

Molotov's heart trembled. Although both sides were polite and did not have any tension, he knew that the Germans in Central Asia were not going to let go. As for the three Transcaucasian countries, he didn't even ask questions, and the result was undoubtedly.

In fact, Hoffman also had unified arrangements for the Caucasus countries, especially the Baku oil field will be divided into 4 parts in the future, one for Azerbaijan, one for Germany, one for Western Russia, and one for Turkey. This not only blocked the Turkish lion's whistle, but also appropriately appeased them. As for giving Western Russia one part, it is because a lot of oil will pass through Russia in the future. Although the territory under Vlasov currently controls has the second Baku point, it is almost completely ruined and needs to be rebuilt and cannot produce oil at all. Without oil, the economic recovery problem of Western Russia will be great. Hoffman wants two stable and opposing regimes, not two countries that are extremely unstable and prone to self-destruction.

"The last core clause is about war reparations," Ribbintrov explained, "we lost a lot because of the war."

“The Soviets lost more.”

"But there is no way to do this. Many people in our country advocate asking for high compensation, and Britain and France have paid the price. Russia is impossible to be exceptional, otherwise the head of state will not be able to settle it." Regarding the compensation section, Ribbintrov seemed a little tough, "Britain and France will eventually have to hand over the fleet. You don't have a fleet to hand over, so you must use other methods instead."

Molotov listened quietly to him.

"We know that you have discovered large oil fields in Siberia and built a large number of industrial enterprises in the Ural Mountains. If we have the attitude of killing all of them, these places can come and bombard them."

"If you are not afraid of death, you can try it."

Ribbentrop smiled: "Don't inspire me, I can't stand the stimulus... After the Battle of Britain, we had 2,000 jet bombers available. If you have nothing to do, you can come to Ural every day to blow up you, and you don't have aircraft that can defend against jets."

Molotov's face turned dark and he forced himself to stop talking.

"Our technical experts have evaluated and believe that the annual output of your new oil field may be between 12-15 million tons/year. If the war is over and you focus on exploration, there will be a big increase. It is expected to expand to 30 million tons within three years, and it may be increased to 50 million tons in another five years. Our claim requirements are not high, and we will give up everything else, only 300 million tons of crude oil."

"You guys are too bullying!"

"Don't worry, listen to me. In the first five years, we asked to get 10 million tons of crude oil per year. From the sixth year, we will get 15 million tons per year, and from the tenth year, we will have 20 million tons per year, without interest in the middle. You will be able to pay off this account soon. This is much better than forcing you to hand over gold and silver, hand over all heavy equipment, etc., right?"

"300 million tons are too much, and it can only be 100 million tons at most!" Molotov shook his head, "It is better not to claim compensation from each other. You have also said that we seek common ground while reserving differences. It is a ceasefire, not the Soviets surrender to you."

The Bolshevik Party was mentally prepared for the reparations. The 300 million tons were a little more, but it was not impossible to consider it. Moreover, there were terms that were divided into many years without interest, but Molotov believed that it was a little more to suppress it.

"I don't count the numbers. The head of state personally decided it. Now we have issued an oil fund, so the officers have shares in it. If we don't get more money to pay dividends, this fund will be in big trouble."

"What does this have to do with us?" Molotov was puzzled.

"Of course it's your business, not only relevant but also closely related." Ribbentrop explained, "To place soldiers out of the army, we need to arrange for military officers, especially senior officers, to retire. Where can the country have money? We can only make the fund dividends or increase the price. If it cannot be achieved, the disarmament will not be advanced, and then the army cannot be reduced. If it does not reduce, we can only fight wars. We can't use so many army to fight the United States, and the navy and air force cuts a little. Who do you think we can fight?"

Molotov was amused by the other party's shameless remarks and said sarcastically: "If we don't give you money, do you continue to fight?"

"That's about it. The army is difficult to manage. Don't you think the military is too high now? Or does Comrade Stalin have no such feeling? If it weren't for the head of state, the party would have been almost unable to command the officers' group, otherwise what would the long list of traitorous marshals and generals do? Can your party still command guns? Can it be stable by suppressing the counter-counter?" Ribintrov dragged meaningfully, "You are an old revolutionary... You should fully understand my words. The most dangerous enemy is not outside, but by your side... Otherwise, how could there be someone like Gorene?"

Molotov was shocked: This must not be passed back. If Stalin's father's suspicion attacks again, it will kill people again. It seems that the champagne dealer was quite frightened in the "Treason Group" incident, otherwise why would he keep talking about "leader?"

At this point, the big terms have basically been discussed, and it is Ribintrov's turn to trick the magic tricks into taking shape.

"In the future, the two Soviets will achieve independent development, peaceful coexistence, and peaceful competition, and jointly discuss which socialist method is more enterprising, which system is more in line with the comprehensive development of people, and which socialist values ​​are more superior. For the Bolshevik Party, we always regard it as a powerful regional power. You can exert constructive power in the Far East and the Pacific. The Head of State has published the "EU Construction White Paper", which elaborated on the construction of the EU

Principle: From the Ural Mountains to the Atlantic coast, they are members of the EU. The Menshevik regime is an important part of the EU. If you want, you can become an observer of the EU like Japan." Ribbintrov told Hess' recent research results, "Outside the EU, we will take the lead in organizing the United Nations, replacing the original League of Nations, and headquartered in Switzerland, a permanent neutral country. Your country, like the Mensheviks, will become a permanent member of this organization."

Since Germany has gained the implicit veto status within the EU system, Hoffmann intends to replicate this system in the United Nations and grant different voting rights to countries. The total number of votes without non-permanent members will reach 80%, and the remaining non-permanent members will only have 20%, focusing on several major councils such as security, economy, politics, culture and society. In other words, no one in the United Nations has an open veto power, but Germany has the largest share of it. After winning over a group of all allies, it can achieve veto. Of course, when all the allies boycott Germany, Germany does not have veto power. This sounds the alarm for later rulers. Germany cannot just focus on implementing policies that are not conducive to most countries.

"The permanent countries currently selected include Germany, Japan, Italy, France, Britain, and Russia. The voting rights of Russia are divided into two parts. The United States may not include the United States for the time being, of course, it will eventually include the United States. We cannot turn a blind eye to such a large country. We sincerely hope that this war is the last large-scale war in human history. I hope that Germany and the Soviet Union will never fight again!"

Molotov, the United Nations, the EU and other Molotov had no interest in understanding, but looking at Ribintrov's face that was worthy of beating, he couldn't help but have the idea of ​​raising his fists to teach him a lesson, but he still tried to restrain himself and asked in an extremely low voice: "About the eastern and southern borders of our country..."

"We are open to this. As long as we do not resort to force, everything will be easy. We cannot stop the backward areas from yearning for civilization, and we cannot stop other people from seeking socialism..." Ribintrov knew what Molotov was asking, and his eyes turned and immediately agreed.

The exchange of opinions between the two sides has come to an end, so I can say some private words next. Ribintrov quietly told Molotov: "We found Yakov, and he was doing well. The head of state instructed him to give him special preferential treatment. If Comrade Stalin agrees, I can bring him here to release him next time."

Molotov was shocked and asked nervously: "What conditions do you want?"

"No, no conditions attached! The Head of State said that it is very inhumane to threaten a leader of a great power with the safety of his relatives. He cannot do such a despicable thing. If Comrade Stalin feels that it is not very honorable to release his reputation secretly, we can think of some other ways."

“For example…”

"We can arrange for him to escape from prison, or you can send a spy to hijack..." Ribbintrov thought of Kennedy in an instant, and almost let it go, and he quickly suppressed it.

"It's better not to act rashly, let me and Comrade Stalin report it."

Ribbintrov nodded: "If you or your colleagues have any relatives in the prisoner-of-war camp, you can send me the specific information and I will help you find it. The prisoner-of-war camp is not easy to survive."

Although the other party said it lightly, Molotov knew that this sentence was not very important. At least he had to make a request from a member of the Politburo or a commander of the Front Army. He could not make a big fuss, otherwise it would be too harmful to morale.

"Thank you so much." Molotov expressed his sincere attitude, "I will go back tomorrow to report to Comrade Stalin. The specific content needs to be discussed by the Politburo, but I will reply as soon as possible."

Ribbentrop knew that things were not so easy, and at least they had to be entangled for several rounds, but he believed that it was very likely to be reached as soon as possible. If the speed was fast, the truce could be possible before the end of the month. If there was no truce, the Eastern Front would probably have to continue to fight until the Red Army was destroyed. This is actually not in Germany's interests.
