2538 Negotiation 5
"You can recruit people in the newly established Ukraine, but it must be carried out under the supervision of the Ukrainian government. There must be no illegal actions, and the number must be limited." Kariput naturally did not block all the gaps. After all, the Germans still hope that the Russian civil war would continue, so Germany must provide a aspect for Denikin to recruit soldiers, and at the same time it cannot affect itself. This is how the newly established Ukraine is!
On the one hand, Ukraine's current economy is not good. After all, Germany and Austria were seriously injured after fighting. They need to rely on compensation and American loans to quickly recover their health. How much money can they have to support the Ukrainians? Therefore, letting some of them join Denikin's army can also alleviate Ukrainian social problems.
Secondly, Germany needs a Ukraine that is hostile to the future Soviet Union, and only when the two sides continue to fight on the battlefield can this hatred be continued. Therefore, from this perspective, Germany also needs to force Ukraine to make a firm choice between the allies and the future Soviet Union! Even under appropriate circumstances, Germany will also recommend that the Ukrainian army and Denikin's army cooperate in combat, just like France supported the newly established Poland against the Soviet Union! As for what the reward is for Ukraine? Naturally, Ukraine can obtain from the Soviet Union and Germany's support!
"We can let the following people discuss the relevant details. We will set up a special liaison department to dispatch your army. They will be responsible for all matters related to Germany, as well as training and guidance for your country's army. Of course, we fully respect General Denikin, who is an ally. They will only make suggestions and ensure that they will not interfere in anything other than military." Kariput finally said.
"Okay, I hope you keep your word." Denikin was actually very resistant to the German army's observation team. However, this matter was obviously not something he could refuse, so everything could only be turned into a sigh.
"So good, since that's the case, our talks today can be over. In addition, I will leave a special private contact line. If you are willing to contact us directly, you can also pass through the personnel we stationed." Kariput's last sentence was really beyond Denikin's expectations. Logically speaking, the so-called military observation group is actually a proxy for Germany in the Russian army. There is no need to make trouble. Leave a channel for Denikin to contact people of the level of Denikin. You must know that if Kariput can be convinced, then Denikin can actually contact Crown Prince Ruprecht indirectly, and the Crown Prince's opinion can represent the attitude of Bavaria and the Austro-Hungarian Empire most of the time!
"Damn, what's the situation?!" Even Korninov next to him said he couldn't understand.
"Because we are only dispatching military personnel, and handling some political matters requires the consent of the senior management. In order to avoid some unnecessary trouble, I think it is very appropriate for me to be a liaison between you and our senior management. Although in this negotiation, you are not a government organization, we hope that one day, you can become a government organization." Kariput said with a smile.
"Haha, it seems that the Germans also want me to establish a second Ukraine." Denikin understood what the German side meant at once. When necessary, the German government would support Denikin to establish a new country. This trick was to dismember a huge Russia into small pieces. From the perspective of national feelings, Denikin was extremely opposed, but from the perspective of his group, this seemed to be a very good choice! The premise was that he had the ability to do all this!
The final result of the negotiation was a win-win situation. Denikin obtained the urgently needed arms and daily necessities, and obtained the right to recruit soldiers in Ukraine to a certain extent. These two points solved the current urgent needs of the White Army. Kariput's statement at the last moment also made Denikin full of expectations for the future. After all, if possible, no one would be willing to go into exile, and it would be a good choice to establish a new country on his own land.
The Germans also achieved their goal. The first goal is naturally that the Russian civil war can continue. No matter who the final winner is, as long as the war lasts for one more day, it will benefit Germany. As for the last so-called promise? Haha, even if the Germans accept it, it will be a matter of the future. At least for now, the Germans have not paid any other price besides the goodwill of their words! The second goal is naturally to accept a large amount of Russian heritage, not only in terms of economy but also in terms of talents!
"What do you think of them?" After the talks, Kariput said to von Seckert on the way back.
"Korninov is a mediocre person, that is, he has some talent in running away. But Denikin is a capable and convictional person. He is very hostile to us and has strong national feelings. From the perspective of the empire, I don't like this kind of person very much." said Von Seckert.
"You're right, people like Denikin are in trouble." Karipte said nodding.
"So why don't we replace him or let him die directly under the opponent's bullets for such a person? Just leave Korninov." Feng Seckert asked in confusion.
"I don't know, anyway, Your Highness means to keep it for the time being. I have thought about the reason, maybe it is because of Denikin's own talent and people's expectations. We can't support a mediocre person, right?" said Caripot.
"In fact, it might be better if it was Kolchak. But unfortunately they were a little far away from us. There was a Caspian Sea and half of the Central Asian prairie between us." Feng Seckert said with some regret.
"In addition, I have a question, why did you not limit the conditions of Denikin on horses in the end? You should know that horses are an important agricultural resource. If you don't have enough animal power, the grain output in Ukraine will not be too much." Von Sekt asked hesitated. Although Kariput is nominally the commander of the Eastern Military Region of Bavaria, his colleagues also have the rights of a considerable number of local governments, to some extent, military control! There are a large number of military farms, factories and other facilities under your command. As the chief of staff, Von Sekt naturally needs to have some understanding of these things. He is very clear that the horses in the entire Eastern Military Region are actually not rich now! Even farming is not enough.
