Beiyang reactionaries

Henry Wallace put down the telegram in his hand, but he didn't know what to say.The Soviets were fighting all kinds of battles, and it took so long for the Soviet army to lose so much.If this continues, the casualties of the Soviet army are estimated to exceed tens of millions soon.

Thousands of casualties.

What is the total population of the Soviet Union?Since the loss of places such as Ukraine and Belarus, the current population controlled by the Soviet Union is only a little over [-] million.The army suffered more than [-] million casualties, and they were all young and middle-aged, which was very traumatic for the country of the Soviet Union.

Henry Wallace even had some doubts, doubting whether the United States' judgment on the Soviet Union was correct.Can the Soviet Union really stop the Germans?If the Soviet Union can't stop the Germans, then Europe will really be dominated by Germany.It is basically impossible for the United States to control Europe.After all, Europe itself is very powerful. Once the European continent is integrated, its strength will be the best in the world.

"Mr. Chairman, you should know that the situation of our country in the Pacific Ocean is not very good now."

"I believe in the industrial strength of the American Republic. Your country is only temporarily frustrated in the Pacific Ocean, and Japan cannot be your country's opponent in the Pacific Ocean."

Stalin opened his mouth slowly with his pipe in his mouth.

This time the U.S. representative was their Vice President Henry Wallace, and the Soviets were delighted.The three countries of Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union are now bound together and are true allies.The Soviet Union hopes to get the support of the United States, and hopes that the United States can transfer its energy to Europe as soon as possible.Now it is very difficult for Britain and the Soviet Union to resist Germany, and they urgently need strong foreign aid.Now, the United States is the powerful foreign aid that Britain and the Soviet Union hope for.

Henry Wallace shook his head.

Sighing: "Mr. Chairman, you underestimate Japan. Their navy is amazing. They are all first-class naval powers in the world. When the war started, their warships were the largest in the world. Japan is currently attacking Australia and Japan. The Hawaiian Islands, we are very passive in the Pacific Ocean. If you don’t pay attention, Japan will control the Pacific Ocean and become the hegemony of the Pacific Ocean. At that time, our country will have to worry about the west coast being attacked by Japan.”

Stalin frowned.

The Soviet Union hopes that the United States will come to Europe as soon as possible, and fight Germany with them to relieve the pressure on the Soviet Union.But now Henry Wallace has been talking about how difficult it is for the United States in the Pacific Ocean, ignoring the Soviet Union's request.Stalin had to judge what America meant.

Does the United States really not care about Europe?Instead, they want to fight Japan in the Pacific Ocean?

Should not be ah.

After all, the United States is an American country, and its relationship with Asian nations is relatively far away.We have different skin colors, different histories, different languages, and different cultures.Moreover, after all, there are two powerful countries in Asia, China and Japan, and it is more difficult for the United States to take advantage of Asia.In comparison, the United States has a deep relationship with Europe. After all, it was born in a British colony, and the people in power in the United States are all descendants of Europeans.In addition, Europe has always been the world's economic and political center.The United States wants to break out of the Americas and become a world power, and Europe is the most important.

But now the Soviet Union is begging the United States, so Stalin did not lose his temper.Stalin was a political strongman, even known as the Iron Man.But Stalin was a flexible political figure.He knows when to be tough and when to be weak.

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Henry Wallace continued: "Mr. Chairman, in fact, Washington is not only worried about Japan. Although Japan is currently at an advantage in the Pacific, our country is not incapable of coping. Just give us time, We can still recover our disadvantage in the Pacific."

"Yes, we believe in the industrial strength of America."

Molotov praised the United States without showing any signs.

Henry Wallace glanced at Molotov, did not answer him, but continued: "Washington is not worried about Japan, but China. Mr. President, let me tell you the truth. Once China ends up helping Japan, the Pacific Ocean will It is really not something that our country can control. Therefore, for our country, compared with Japan, we are more afraid of China. China is our most feared opponent. The thing we are most worried about is that China will join the war and stand on the axis side of the country."

"China is indeed a problem."

Stalin nodded.

For Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union, China is really a country that gives them headaches, and their feelings are also the most complicated.

Britain needs China, especially the dependence of the British and Indian troops on China is very serious.Without the support of China, the British and Indian troops would no longer be the opponents of the Japanese army.Maybe it is a question of whether India can be kept now.

But Britain also hates China.

Because of the enemy of Britain, the German, Italian and Japanese allied countries would not have the current strength without the support of China.It is all because of China's support that the German-Italian-Japanese Alliance is so strong.Not only did it support the countries of the German-Italian-Japanese Alliance in the past, even now China is still the largest supplier of supplies to the German-Italian-Japanese Alliance.

So did the Soviet Union.

At present, in order to turn the industrial machinery of the Soviet Union, it needs to import materials from China.Similarly, the Soviet Union wanted to transport supplies, but lacked enough trucks, and a large number of trucks were imported from China.Including the locomotives and locomotives needed by the Soviet railways, they are also imported in large quantities from China.Even the current lack of machine tools for machining in the Soviet Union is imported from China.

But the Soviet Union, like Britain, hated China.

The Outer Northeast and Outer Northwest were "cut away" by China, making the Far East of the Soviet Union a tasteless place.Russia's efforts for hundreds of years have been completely in vain.Not to mention that Germany, which is now at war with the Soviet Union, has such a powerful army, and there is China's support behind it.

Now that Henry Wallace said that China is the country that the United States fears the most, Stalin completely sympathized with him.Because the Soviet-German battlefield is too cruel, the Soviet Union can only mobilize a large number of troops from the Novosibirsk Military Region.But Stalin's heart was still full of ups and downs.

After all, a "Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship" cannot truly guarantee peace.The Soviet Union and Germany also signed the "Soviet-German Non-Aggression Treaty", which is different now that they are fighting to the death.If China tore up the treaty, the Soviet Union would have no resistance in Central Asia.

"Mr. Chairman, in order to stabilize China, we sent a special envoy to meet Duan Xun, Chairman of the Supreme Council of China."

"How is the result?"

Molotov next to him looked at Henry Wallace and asked eagerly.

Duan Xun is really elusive.What is even more troublesome is that Duan Xun, as a "dictator", can determine China's policies.Such a person, no one can guarantee how he will decide.

Henry Wallace looked at Molotov, then at Stalin, and said straightforwardly: "Duan Xun said that China has not even resolved its own territorial issues, and has no other energy to manage world affairs."

"Territory issue?"

"Duan Xun is talking about the area to be discussed in the 'Nerchinsk Treaty'."

681

"Duan Xun is talking about the area to be discussed in the 'Nerchinsk Treaty'."

"He, he, he is not trying to take advantage of the fire."

Molotov "squeaked" and stood up.

We are all smart people, and we already understand the meaning of many words as long as we say the beginning.China says that its own problems have not been resolved, so it does not care about the world situation.The meaning is obvious, China is not interested in world wars, only interested in its own affairs.

Originally, everyone thought that China's territorial issue should be with Japan.But according to Henry Wallace, Duan Xun was talking about the area to be discussed with the Soviet Union.

damn it.

China is taking advantage of the fire to rob, and it is trying to completely swallow the Soviet Far East.The Soviet Union had given up the Outer Northeast and Outer Northwest before, but it seems that China has great ambitions.Russia has worked hard for hundreds of years to achieve a good situation in the Far East, but China is making Russia's hundreds of years of hard work wiped out.The United States was stunned when it heard about the area to be discussed in the "Treaty of Nerchinsk", and it took a lot of information to figure it out.

But Molotov was different.

He directly participated in the Sino-Soviet negotiations and finally signed the "Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship".In order to negotiate with China, Molotov lacked a lot of information.Therefore, he is well aware of the situation of the "Treaty of Nerchinsk".Molotov was very clear about the so-called areas to be discussed that Duan Xun mentioned.Such a large piece of land, China wants to swallow it now.That Duan Xun is really too ambitious.

When he came into contact with Duan Xun, Molotov felt that Duan Xun was elusive.Looking at Duan Xun now, he is really a rich wolf.

"Duan Xun, Duan Xun."

Compared with the angry Molotov, Stalin did not fly into a rage when he heard what Henry Wallace said.Instead, he just calmly called Duan Xun's name a few times.Stalin will not collapse because of this incident.

After the outbreak of the Soviet-German war, bad news was everywhere.When the situation was most critical, the German army besieged Moscow, and the capital of the Soviet Union was in jeopardy.And how much land the Soviet Union has lost so far, and how many casualties the army has paid.Even his own son was captured by the Germans.

But Stalin persisted.

Stalin means steel in Russian, and Stalin, just like his own name, really has a will of steel.Stalin experienced many things.The rise of Stalin is inseparable from the October Revolution of that year.

It was precisely because of the Soviet Revolution in Russia and the subsequent civil war that Stalin rose rapidly and became the supreme leader of the Soviet Union.During the Russian Soviet Revolution and the Russian Civil War, Stalin had already shown this iron will.He even showed his arbitrariness, and even directly resisted the orders of the central government for victory.As long as he thinks it is right, he can persuade the powerful faction in the army to act with him.

There are too many things that have been experienced, which have created the current Stalin.Stalin was no longer the kind of person who would get angry and lose his mind after one or two incidents.On the contrary, the more difficult the time, the more sober Stalin was.

Not only did Stalin not feel furious when China wanted to "add insult to injury", on the contrary, he was always weighing the importance in his mind.For Stalin, what he had to consider was the overall interests.

"Mr. Wallace, I want to hear what your country means."

Stalin asked Henry Wallace directly.
