"Comrade Stalin, your request covers too broad a scope; this is not something I can decide on my own. I need to go back and hold a meeting to discuss this matter in detail."
Strasser decided to use a delaying tactic; after all, the "liberation" of Eastern Europe was not an urgent issue at the moment. Resolving the situation in France was the top priority.
"Of course, Comrade Strasser."
Stalin doesn't really matter, since it's not the Soviet Union that's in a hurry.
"However, I think we can still achieve some of the terms."
Strasser believes that it is acceptable to allocate the areas of influence of the Soviet Union before World War II to them, after all, those places are too close to the Soviet Union, and Germany does not have the capability to influence these countries in the short term.
"We are willing to hand over the Baltic States, Finland, and Poland to the Soviet Union for liberation. We will recognize the Soviet Union's 'liberation' of these regions and are even willing to send troops to 'liberate' Poland."
Stalin was quite tempted by the bait thrown out by Strasser; in Stalin's vision, these areas were all territories that the Soviet Union must seize in the future. The greatest obstacle to the Soviet Union's future 'liberation' of these countries would come from Germany.
Despite being weak at the moment, Germany's size determines that it is the most influential country in Eastern Europe. Due to distance, Anglo-French influence is limited even if their intentions are strong. As long as Germany agrees, the Soviet Union will have no obstacles in taking over these areas.
"Oh? It seems that you still have quite a bit of sincerity, don't you? So, what is the price that we, the Soviet Union, need to pay?" Stalin asked.
"The thing that the Soviet Union needs to do is very simple. It is that after France attacks our Germany, we will invite the Soviet Union to enter Germany on the grounds of opposing aggression and ensuring collective security."
Soviet Union must deploy troops to the border and declare their intention to intervene in the Franco-Prussian War."
"We, Soviet Union, will not engage in any foreign wars before the completion of the Five-Year Plan, especially considering that there is still Poland between us and Soviet-German. How could they possibly allow us to pass through their territory?"
Stalin vetoed this idea.
"No, you don't need to send troops; you just need to make a gesture." Strasser's idea was not without merit. If it were just France attacking Germany, then Britain and the other Allies would at most issue a verbal condemnation and would not actually intervene. However, if Germany were to request the Soviet Union to guarantee its independence, then Britain would certainly not be able to sit idly by.
Let's not talk about what the Bolsheviks will do to foreign capital after entering Germany. The Soviet Union's territory expanded directly from the Baltic Sea to the center of Europe. The entire Germany being influenced by the Soviet Union really threatens the overall interests of Western European countries. In comparison, the Labour Party of the ethnic group has not yet officially come to power. It's better to look forward to the migrant workers than to expect the Soviet Union. Of course, the most urgent may not be the British people, but the Polish people.
Poland and Russia have been historical enemies, constantly at war from the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in the 16th century to the Romanov dynasty period. They have fought each other with victories and losses, leading to deep-seated enmity between them. Someone once vividly explained the direct relationship between Poland and Russia with a story.
God was moved by the piety of a Polish person and appeared before him, granting him three wishes. For the first wish, the Polish person said, "God, let the Chinese army conquer and then leave Poland." God was very surprised, but still granted his wish, and the flood-like Chinese army invaded and conquered Poland, then left in triumph.
The second wish, the Polish people said: "Oh God, let the Chinese army crush Poland again and then leave!"
God was helpless, but still let the Chinese army come again.
The third wish, the Polish people said: "Oh God, let the Chinese army come and ravage Poland again and then leave!"
God finally couldn't help but say, "What's wrong with you that you want your country to be stepped on three times by the China people?"
The Polish people said with a drugged expression, "Then Russia will be stepped on six times! Hahaha~~~"
Of course, as wonderful as this story sounds, it's just imaginary. If Soviet Union were to declare war on Germany, then this story would happen to the Polish people.
Because the Soviet Union and Germany do not share a land border, the Soviet Union needs to pass through Poland in order to quickly deploy troops to Germany. However, the Polish people will definitely not agree. Who knows, if the Soviet Union claims to be deploying troops to Germany, they might also take the opportunity to "liberate Poland" in a European version of "attacking Guo by using a borrowed road." If the Soviet Union is very determined and Germany continues to suffer defeats on the battlefield, then it is not impossible for the Soviet Union to use force.
Although the Polish people are not afraid to fight against the Soviet Union, they believe they can continue the outcome of the war between the Soviets and Poland. However, Strasser has a solution for this. He plans to position all of the army at the Deutsch border, declaring that if Poland refuses to allow the Soviet Red Army to pass through, Poland's actions will be seen as preventing Germany from resisting foreign invasion and as being an accomplice of the French people.
Germany will declare war on Poland, and Poland will face the threat of a two-front war. This is quite unfavorable for the Polish people, as historically, the chances of winning a two-front war have been low. The last powerful German Empire also fell victim to this strategy.
Even though the National Defense Forces are currently very weak, they still number around 200,000. If Poland is truly left to fend for itself against an attack from the Soviet Union while the French people are determined to strike at Poland, it would be quite dire.
Strasser even planned to announce that the German Armed Forces would retreat into Poland after meeting with the Soviet Red Army if the French Army advanced too quickly, with all civilians also relocating to Poland. They would use Poland as a base to prepare for a future counterattack. The remaining troops within Germany would engage in guerrilla warfare, waging a protracted people's war against the French people. Regardless of how far-fetched this plan may sound, there was indeed a possibility of its implementation.
After all, Germany and Poland are neighboring countries, and the transportation efficiency in the great plains of Poland is also very high, so it is feasible to transfer a large number of people.
If the Polish people were to be defeated, what awaits them would not be just ceding land, but their homes being stolen, to be precise, they would be robbed.
So they must definitely be resolutely opposed to France's aggressive war.
Strasser's intentions are very clear; he aims to convey a message to the countries of Europe through cooperation with the Soviet Union. For the sake of peace in Europe, and to ensure that you gentlemen are not immediately hanged, you must stand up and prevent France's actions. I am currently only targeting the capitalists within Germany and have no plans to export revolution or take action against you countries of the Capitalist world.
If France pushes me too hard, I will really turn to communism and bring the Soviet Union into Poland, and then Germany, right to your doorstep. Strasser can confidently predict how these capitalist countries will react when the Soviet Union announces its intention to send troops into Germany. The terrified gentlemen will surely get up in the middle of the night for an emergency meeting, then rush to Paris to scold President Doumergue of France, demanding that he immediately stop the actions of the French Army.
If Du Merlo can't accept it, they can totally sanction France through various means.
Even if the president disagrees, the French National Assembly will demand an end to This war.
After all, fighting is for making money, and most people wouldn't give up the benefits they already have for the benefits they haven't obtained yet.
"According to the intelligence network in France, the French people are preparing for war, which will take time. Based on the analysis of the General Staff of the Army, it is highly unlikely that France will start a war in 1927, at the earliest it will be next spring. Germany can fully deploy its forces in advance and transfer the population. If the war goes badly, we, the ethnic group, and the Labour Party will declare joining the Comintern, demanding that the Comintern oppose France's aggression. Then, the Soviet Union can take advantage of the situation and deploy troops to the Soviet and Polish border."
"You don't need to actually launch an attack, just deploy as many troops as possible to the front line."
"Are you trying to scare the Polish people and the British people?"
Stalin pondered, chin in hand.
"You are truly a cunning guy, Strasser."
"Of course, one must be cunning when dealing with enemies."
Strasser chuckled.
"So, Comrade Stalin, are you willing to accept this condition?"
"Of course, who wouldn't want to make a deal with an empty-handed wolf?"
Stalin gave a definite reply with a flick of his beard.
