The Rise of the Empire
Chapter 462： Ukraine Raiders 2
The situation in Ukraine is actually very complicated, because Ukraine is actually more like a historical term. I don’t want to talk about too long history. Let’s just talk about things after the 19th century. The entire Eastern Ukraine has been controlled by Russia for many years and has been assimilated for hundreds of years. There are Ukrainians, Russians, and Cossacks. The latter is more of a concept than a nation. They are a mixed nation, more like a tribe. The rule of Ukraine is relatively solid. Although it is a mixed bag, it has been ruled like this for hundreds of years on time. Even if there was a big famine in the Soviet era, in the Second World War, the entire Eastern Ukraine still tended to the Soviet Union.
; But the situation in West Ukraine is different. It was originally ruled by the Poles. After the three partitioned Poland, part of West Ukraine was merged into Austria-Hungary, and most of it was merged into Russia. Later generations have asked you to say that Ukraine can have the current territorial area, thanks to the expansion of Russia, in fact, there is some truth, for example, Crimea actually sent a Ukrainian from the Khrushchev era after the Second World War... ...
; The Ukrainian region in World War 1 is a hodgepodge of nations and ideas. After the collapse of Tsarist Russia, various thoughts and figures appeared on the stage, writing their own stories on the stage of Ukraine. There are the Soviet Red Army, there are Ukrainian nationalists, there are anarchists, there are old nobles, and there are Poles! It is almost impossible to establish a government that accepts all aspects, and there are very few people willing to accept the control of the Germans. So what should be done to those who oppose Prince Ruprecht’s control? ? There are only two options, first, kill them! Second, let them change their minds!
;Well, now the question is, who can the prince win over?
; All those who want independence in West Ukraine will be the enemy of the prince! Unless when the Austro-Hungarian Empire collapses, they are willing to leave Hungary and stand on the side of Austria! Of course, this is very difficult, because in the Western Ukraine area occupied by Hungary, these people are very affected by Poland. After all, they were vassals of Poland before. The Poles made a lot of independence during the First World War... These people are determined to fight. So naturally excluded.
The nationalists and anarchists in Russian Ukraine are also targets of attack! These people either want to establish an independent state, or they just don't want a government. They regard the left and right outsiders as enemies, and there is no possibility of compromise. Whether it is bribery or swordsmanship, they will not be allowed to give in! Some of them even started to fight the White Army with the Red Army, and then fought the Red Army again. They were capricious, with no possibility of bribery, and no basis for forming interests. Therefore, these people also pass directly.
; Then there are two types of people left, one of which is naturally the Red Army in history, and the other is the White Army and the old Ukrainian nobles behind them! Needless to say, the former is the mortal enemy of Prince Ruprecht. Even if Germany wins, it will be the prince's mortal enemy in the second battle. That's right, it was the Second World War. In the eyes of the prince, even after the signing of the Brest Treaty, the remaining Soviet Union is still too large. The territory, resources and superstructures owned by this country can still make it a world-leading power. , And it is obviously inappropriate for a powerful country to have another powerful country next to it.
; As the saying goes, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers unless one male and one female. In history, the reason why the Weimar Republic and the Soviet Union had a so-called honeymoon period was that Germany lost! In the view of the Soviet Union, Germany has no threat and has the technology needed by the Soviet Union. From Germany's point of view, the Soviet Union and Germany are both isolated countries. Since everyone is a small partner who has no one to care about, let's hug together for warmth.
; But this plane is different. If everything is in accordance with history, then the result of the prince is to save his life in the 1st war, but before the 2nd war, he left Europe to become a rich man. So Su De's honeymoon period exists, it has nothing to do with the prince. But if Germany wins World War 1, it will be different!
The first thing to say is that although the Soviet Union lost a lot of territory in the Brest Treaty, both the Kaiser and the prince knew that Germany could not directly rule such a large area! A region like Ukraine must support a government after the war, and if Germany does this, it will eventually become hostile to the Soviet Union. The reason is simple. Let’s not talk about the humiliation brought to the Soviet Union by the Brest Treaty. Can they swallow this kind of country where the less profit is even the loss?
; It is unrealistic to completely crush Russia in the first battle, and it is impossible to solve the CPSU in the first battle. The same people, the same equipment, but fighting under the leadership of different people, the combat effectiveness is completely different! What's more, the Germans themselves have become a mess, how can they care about other things? Even if the Soviet Union loses a lot of territory and population, they are still a powerful country! Will still be hostile to Germany! Even after Germany puts its troops on the Western Front~www.novelhall.com~ the CPSU is very likely to take some actions!
Since the CPSU will become the enemy, the only people who can cooperate are the old nobles of Russia! They at least know how to choose, and they understand one truth very well. The Germans only want money and food. If they do well, they will support you. But the CPSU is terrible! The gap among them is that someone who has a brain knows how to choose!
However, it should be noted that these old nobles also need to be screened and selected. In addition to their tendencies and talents, another very important issue is that they must have a certain degree of popular reputation! To put it bluntly, don’t exploit too much. Some heinous people not only can’t become partners, but even get killed as scapegoats. Otherwise, how to win the hearts of the people? Why did the Soviet Red Army begin to be so powerful? It is because they do represent the interests of most people, at least give them one hope!
In other words, the prince needs a Ukrainian government composed of enlightened capitalists and nobles as a partner. The prince does not intend to completely turn Ukraine into a vassal. On the one hand, it is laborious, and on the other hand, the two sides already have better cooperation. Model, Ukraine serves as Germany's big granary, and Germany provides Ukraine with industrial products and safety guarantees. Ukraine has two neighboring countries, one Germany and one Russia. They will know how to do it.
; And a few years ago, Ruprecht had already contacted the enlightened nobles and some Cossack leaders in Ukraine, and now he is only doing business. Others are still early!
