As for the issue of war reparations, there were also in-depth discussions.The agreement reached between the United States and the Soviet Union is that Germany will pay 220 billion U.S. dollars in compensation, while the United Kingdom believes that their losses are completely inestimable, so more calculations are needed and more compensation is required.Therefore, no accurate data on reparations were presented at the Yalta Conference.Moreover, at this meeting, everyone also confirmed that regarding the German compensation, compensation can be paid in kind, including German machinery and equipment.

After talking about the German issue, the post-war Polish issue followed.

Poland, a wonderful country, has disputes with many big countries around it.Before and after World War II, Poland first helped Germany bully the Czech Republic, then offended Germany and was divided between Germany and the Soviet Union.Now both Britain and the United States support Poland's post-war independence, but Poland's independence also involves many conflicts of interest.

The biggest dispute is the territorial issue.

Poland and surrounding countries have territorial disputes, and several major countries have interests in Poland.

What the Soviet Union wants is territory, because there have been many disputes and wars between Poland and the Soviet Union in history.Now that the Soviet army is launching a major counterattack against the German army, it is currently the most formidable force on the European battlefield. Therefore, the Soviet Union will never let go of some territories in Poland.

The law of the jungle preys on the strong, this is the most naked expression now.

It's like the newly established Annan Province in China, although it has not been controlled here for hundreds of years.But China is strong, and China can force the Japanese and Vietnamese royal families at that time to admit that these places belonged to China in history, and then directly turn these places into Chinese territory.

The same goes for the Soviet Union.

During a war, especially this kind of world war, it is the easiest time to change territories.The Soviet Union and its predecessor, Russia, are countries that like to expand their territories.With such a good opportunity now, how could they let it go.If it weren't for other big countries, the Soviet Union would have liked to swallow Poland directly and make Poland a member of the Soviet Union.

But Anglo-American is different.

Britain and the United States don't care about the life and death of Poland.

But Poland's position is very good, directly blocking the Soviet Union.Although according to the current situation, the influx of Soviet troops into Poland is already a certainty.But the emergence of a pro-Soviet government in Poland and Poland becoming part of the Soviet Union are completely different things.

If Poland becomes part of the Soviet Union and a member country of the Soviet Union, then the Soviet army can directly deter Germany and Western European countries.Under the peak of the Soviet Union, Britain and France will tremble.

But just a pro-Soviet government, then the situation will be completely different.

In a clan, the patriarch may not be able to control the clan members.Even in a family, Lao Tzu may not be able to control his son.This is especially true between countries. As long as Poland does not become part of the Soviet Union, even if the government is somewhat pro-Soviet, Britain and the United States are very satisfied.

Of course, the Soviet Union wanted to annex Poland, but it still had to worry about Britain and the United States.Therefore, in the end, on the issue of Poland's independence, Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union reached a consensus agreement based on their own interests.

Everyone has reached a certain agreement before, and the Yalta meeting is the final decision.How much compensation is given to the Soviet Union, that is, how much Polish territory is ceded.Also ceded some territories from Germany to Poland.

As for the issue of Germany and Poland, there were previous meetings, so the negotiation speed was relatively fast.

But after talking about the issues of post-war Germany and Poland, the next issue was very controversial.

Because the beginning of the discussion is several important issues of ownership of the strait.The issue of the use of the strait between the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea administered by Italy-Yugoslavia, Italy-Austria, Yugoslavia-Bulgaria, Romania, Iran, and Turkey was fiercely debated between Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union.

It's really tit for tat, not giving in to each other.

Duan Xun watched the excitement from the side.

These straits are all related to geopolitics, and there are many interests in them.Especially in Europe, each of these straits is related to the division of power in Europe.The three countries of Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union are all eyeing these straits, and no one is willing to make concessions.Whoever controls the strait will be able to control the interests around the strait.Talked for a long time, but still did not talk about a result.

Britain and the United States are guarding against the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union is also guarding against Britain and the United States.

As the situation in the European battlefield became more and more favorable to the anti-fascist alliance, Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union competed fiercely for their interests in Europe.After talking for two days in a row, this issue could not be discussed.

In the end, no one could do anything, so the talks couldn't come down, and the meeting couldn't end.

The Yalta meeting was the longest of all previous meetings.Most of the previous meetings, most of them were only four or five days long.For example, the New Delhi meeting was interrupted in the middle, followed by the Yili meeting. The sum of the two meetings was not as long as the Yalta meeting.Because it is the final determination of the sphere of influence, not a general statement like before, so no one is willing to make concessions.

After Duan Xun watched the excitement for a few days, he began to persuade them.

In the end, the Soviet Union gave way first, and of course Britain and the United States also followed suit.Because for the Soviet Union, although those straits are very important, they are not as good as the outlets they already control.That is the Black Sea Strait of Turkey, which was only temporarily managed by the Soviet Union before.But now that the Soviet Union is sweeping across the European continent, Britain and the United States are very worried that the Soviet Union will cooperate with the European Communist Party to redden the whole of Europe.Therefore, when the Soviet Union gave up the power of those other straits, Britain and the United States turned the temporary custody of the Black Sea straits into the control of the Black Sea straits by the Soviet Union.

Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union have reached an agreement.

The Soviet Union controlled the Black Sea Strait, and the other straits were handed over to Britain, the United States and France for discussion, and the Soviet Union no longer participated.

The ownership of these straits alone has been discussed for more than four days.After that, the Yalta Conference began to discuss the issue of the establishment of the United Nations, and planned to hold the founding conference of the United Nations in March 1945.

Britain and the United States hoped to hold the meeting in San Francisco, but Duan Xun, who had been silent at the Yalta meeting, immediately raised objections.

"The United Nations meeting? I think it is most appropriate to hold it in Moscow. Because the Soviet Union paid the most price and effort for this world war, the United Nations meeting is suitable to be held in Moscow."

"The United Nations meeting? I think it is most appropriate to hold it in Moscow. The Soviet Union paid the most price and effort for this world war and was the main force to defeat Germany. The United Nations meeting is suitable to be held in Moscow. It is very meaningful to hold it in Moscow."

When it came to the founding conference of the United Nations, Duan Xun directly opposed it.

Duan Xun and Stalin, or China and the Soviet Union, can be said to have had many grievances and grievances in history.Just before the outbreak of World War II, China and the Soviet Union fought a war.And it is not a simple local conflict, the two sides have mobilized more than 400 million troops.In the end China took a lot of territory.

But such is the relationship between countries.

When the Sino-Soviet War broke out, China and the Soviet Union wished to destroy each other. The two countries were completely hostile countries.But times have changed, the situation has changed, or the interests pursued by both parties have changed.As World War II drew to a close, rifts, or conflicts of interest, appeared among the allies who had fought together.Now the United Kingdom and the United States are starting to guard against the Soviet Union, as can be seen in a few meetings.The Soviet Union is now aggressive, and millions of troops are launching a major counterattack. It seems that victory is at hand.But such a victory does not mean that the Soviet Union is not guilty.

After all, this war is too tragic.

The casualties of the Soviet Union were astonishing. Up to now, the casualties have exceeded more than 6000 million people, almost 7000 million people.Among these people, nearly 3000 million died alone.More than 1000 million people were seriously injured, and 3000 million people were slightly injured.Moreover, as the Soviet Union launched a major counterattack, the casualties on the Soviet side continued to increase every moment.

The population of the Soviet Union is only so large that it can withstand such a cost of casualties.The population of the Soviet Union before the war was about 1.7 million, but the number of Soviet casualties in just a few years was astonishing.Although the current population of the Soviet Union is still quite large, especially as more territories are won, the population remains above 1.3 million.But during the war, a large number of young and middle-aged people died, which was the biggest problem of the Soviet Union.

The shortage of human resources among young and middle-aged people has obvious impact on the Soviet Union.If you look at the composition of the Soviet army, you will know that 20% of the Soviet army is now composed of female soldiers, because the Soviet Union lacks young adults.So much so that now as long as the Soviet Union takes back territory from Germany, it will immediately start mobilizing troops on the front line.Those who are young and middle-aged must join the army.The Soviet Union used this method to maintain the current situation and maintain an army size of more than 1000 million.

In such a situation, how could the Soviet Union not feel guilty.

Under such circumstances, the Soviet Union faced the alliance of Britain and the United States, of course it was looking for allies.

Although there were conflicts between China and the Soviet Union in the Far East, for the Soviet Union, Europe was the essence.For the Soviet Union, the Far East was a place to be developed, while Europe was where the essence of the Soviet Union was located.Therefore, although the Soviet Union straddled the Eurasian continent, it has always regarded itself as a European country.Under the current situation of increasingly fierce conflicts of interest in Europe, the Soviet Union is of course very willing to draw China as an ally.Similarly, China is now facing strong pressure from the United States. After all, the United States has millions of troops in Asia.

Therefore, China is also very willing to support the Soviet Union to achieve greater interests in Europe, to make the Soviet Union stronger in Europe, and to contain Britain and the United States.

Therefore, during meetings these days, Duan Xun usually does not speak, but whenever he speaks, he basically supports the Soviet Union.

"Moscow was greatly traumatized by the war, and the city was almost in ruins. More than 60 countries will participate in the founding conference of the United Nations, and there will be more than a few hundred representatives. In terms of security and stability, Moscow None of them are suitable for the founding meeting of the United Nations. Compared with Moscow, there are no cities on the American side that have suffered war damage, and they are also safer than Moscow.”

Churchill spoke up, opposing Duan Xun's statement.

Stalin took out his pipe and knocked on the table, not caring that this was a meeting of heads of state.These political strongmen of the twentieth century were all very personal and didn't care about the occasion at all.When Churchill's meetings were not going well, he would utter swear words casually.

Although Duan Xun is a soldier, he has a peaceful personality.

After Stalin knocked on the table with his own pipe and attracted everyone's attention, he said coldly: "In terms of security and stability, it is more suitable to hold it in China. The Far East has now ended the war, and the security is the most guaranteed."

Roosevelt sighed slightly beside him.

This time the Yalta meeting was held, which made Roosevelt very unhappy.This is true of some meetings held before.Earlier, the countries of the anti-fascist alliance held several meetings in Quebec, and the United States was the leading country that did its part.At that time, the situation in Britain and the Soviet Union was in danger, and they were beaten by Germany for a while.So even if you are not reconciled, you can only admit that the United States was the leading country in the anti-fascist alliance at that time.

But the situation has been completely different since China entered the war.

China is a big country, and it is also a big industrial country.After China entered the war, the balance of power has undergone a huge reversal.

Duan Xun doesn't look like a soldier at all, every time he speaks, he feels soft, more like a scholar.But when it comes to interests, he will not give in at all, but will be aggressive.With a very peaceful tone, what he said was decisive, and there was no chance for people to object.
