When Molotov saw Shi Daling falling into thinking, he felt how difficult it was to lead a big country in his heart, and picked up the telegram from Ivanov and read it carefully./

When the initial anger gradually disappeared, Molotov began to rationally consider the bottom line of negotiations with the Japanese. According to the law of the jungle's predators, both carnivorous beasts knew each other's strength and were generally unwilling to take the initiative to attack each other. Although S1 is a huge polar bear, fierce and powerful, Japan is not those docile herbivores. Japan is a brutal coyote, and fighting with it will cost a price, not to mention that there are other tigers with fangs staring at themselves. If the bear's leg is bitten by a coyote, those tigers should come up to get the bargain.

The key now is to judge how much damage will be if the Japanese are allowed to collect oil. If the benefits obtained by the Japanese are not enough to arouse the anger of Comrade Shi Daling, then it is better to negotiate and resolve it. What is the bottom line? Everyone knows that the Japanese are poor in oil and their desire for oil is extraordinary. If the Japanese really open a large oil field and the benefits obtained meet their domestic needs, it must be that Comrade Shi Daling's bottom line will definitely be out. Based on the restrictions on the Japanese, Comrade Shi Daling will never allow the Japanese to themselves

Wouldn't it be more self-sufficient to make Japan more arrogant and unscrupulous and eliminate China without worries? Isn't it even more dangerous if there is one person who pulls the Japanese back on their side? Molotov speculated that Shi Daling would not allow the oil field to produce an annual output of more than 10,000 tons. If this number is over, it would be dangerous. Even if the Americans cut off Japan's oil imports, the Japanese could still jump around with the new oil field for a few years. If China is really occupied during this period and China is stable, the Japanese can draw troops to attack Siberia, which would be difficult.

Since the Russo-Japanese War, Japan has become a mortal enemy.

Shi Daling is also considering the same problem. Since he has made up his mind to cause trouble to the west, he must first restrict the Japanese from mining enough oil. If the Japanese lack oil, they will inevitably attack the Dutch East India oil field. In that way, they will fight with the United States and our goal can be achieved.

Shi Daling pressed the phone button on the table and ordered the secretary of the outside room, "Boris, go and ask Ivanov immediately and ask him to report the most detailed information about the oil field."

While waiting, Shi Daling and Molotov discussed the Chinese Anti-Japanese United Army in the Far East. Both of them had no idea what kind of associations the elite Chinese soldiers would have caused to the Japanese when they existed in their own territory for a long time.

"What kind of person do you think Yang Jingyu, the highest commander of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, is? Will he obey the instructions issued by the Communist League unconditionally?" Shi Daling picked up his pipe again, stared at Molotov's bald forehead and suddenly asked.

Molotov shook his head gently and replied with some uncertainty: "He is a very principled person. He only listened to Yan'an's instructions. Ivanov tentatively tried him twice, but there was no result."

"Well...," Shi Daling pondered, thought for a while and waved his hand, "Forget it, let them stay there first, whether it's listening to me or not, they are fighting the Japanese, and they are considered the same front. This is a surprise soldier. If we can't reach an agreement with the Japanese, we will allow them to return to China to fight against Japan and pull the Japanese back."

Secretary Boris soon brought Ivanov's latest telegram. He didn't wait long, and before he could call him to inquire, Ivanov's telegram was already being translated.

The new message is more detailed, and it is detailed in the recent daily activities of Japanese people. This is probably due to the power of the omnipresent Cheka.

It was initially discovered that the Japanese new oil well was drilled by a California-style deep well drilling rig. The oil output was huge. This well could fill a 5ooo tons tank in 6 days. Moreover, the Japanese had begun to tow a series of floating boxes under the leadership of the icebreaker. It seemed that they were going to expand the scale of mining. The most important thing was that according to the report of the aircraft reconnaissance over the Strait of Sakhalin, the Japanese garrison on the South Sakhalin Island began to have abnormal movements. In recent days, as many as 16 squadrons of fighter jets have entered various airports, greatly strengthening the strength of the Japanese aviation forces on the South Sakhalin Island.

It seems that the Japanese have begun to work on defense work in offshore oil fields, which is related to their lifeblood and they are very quick to start.

Such a huge output surprised Shi Daling. The Japanese did not need to drill more. They could produce 60,000 tons per year by drilling only 20 wells, which could meet the needs of Japan. This is not possible. He immediately modified his idea of ​​not stimulating the Japanese. If the oil field is not large, it would not be too bad to break up with the Japanese. But now this oil field can determine Japan's national destiny. If the Japanese are allowed to carry on, it will strengthen the opponent's strength and solve their worries. Secondly, the mineral deposits at his doorstep were robbed without reacting, wouldn't it be seen by the German beard? If the beard does not play according to the cards, and attack us in advance while our team has not been replaced and the new weapons have not been used on a large scale, wouldn't it be a tragic situation! I don't need any warning. I know that the war will definitely start, but I will take this year and a half.

"What do you think of this new situation?" Shi Daling asked, staring at Molotov, who was watching the telegram nervously. The Japanese were very cunning. They were working on the high seas and could not hold them legally, but this matter was like a thorn in the throat, which made people extremely unhappy.

Molotov re-extracted Ivanov's previous telegram, and compared the above handling measures, he replied with a heavy expression: "My government has declared to the Japanese government more than once that our country believes that maintaining peace in the Far East is the last barrier to S1 security, and we cannot ignore events that threaten our security. As mentioned above, I believe that the situation that is happening now, Japan has not negotiated with us to exploit oil resources near Sakhalin Island without authorization. I think it has undermined the fragile peace between our two countries. I have the responsibility to warn in advance: any foreign force does not seek our consent and plunder the resources near our country is an infringement on our security."

"You see, if we take action, how much will the Japanese react?"

"It depends on what kind of action you take. If it is just a protest, I don't think it will work. If we rely solely on harassment of fishing boats, we will never stop the other party, but will make the other party laugh at us with confidence. If we send ships to drive it away, conflicts will inevitably be inevitable. Although we can stop the Japanese oil production activities, because we are at sea, we will also face the huge threat of the other party's joint fleet, and the possibility of fire will always exist. Once the fight starts, our army is not afraid, but the Far East Fleet is in danger. We are very likely to pay the price of a whole fleet to destroy the Japanese offshore oil fields."

Hearing Molotov say this, Shi Daling's face turned gloomy. He knew very well the reputation of the Japanese Joint Fleet. At sea, his Far East Pacific Fleet's two light cruisers, 14 destroyers, 19 frigates, and dozens of small gunboats and minesweepers were definitely not the opponent of Japan's joint fleet with as many as 6oo ships. Although his own submarines have more submarines, Shi Daling does not believe what role can his small submarines with small tonnage and backward technology have.

The fleet is easy to destroy, but it is extremely difficult to build and form combat effectiveness. Since the Battle of Japan and Russia against Ma Hai, it was not until the 30 years later that the Far East Fleet had a difficult recovery. If this happens again, there is no need to ask, it will be annihilated.

"Okay! Let's do it." Shi Daling said in a low voice: "First of all, my opinion is that the Japanese will never get enough oil supply. We will negotiate first to limit their production. Now that the Japanese want to sign a non-aggression treaty with us, they will make certain concessions. If the negotiations break down, we will use small-scale uninterrupted fishing boats to harass or use the method of secretly laying mines on the main channel to prevent the other party from passing oil tankers. The Japanese must not be able to get the oil smoothly.

In addition, I don’t believe that Americans will sit idly and watch the Japanese get oil freely. The task now is to communicate with Americans and be sure to find out Roosevelt’s attitude. If Americans support us in doing this, you might as well be more important. If we suffer losses, the Americans will come out to mediate."

Finally, Shi Daling added heavily: "Let Zhukov go to the Far East immediately, I am ready to grant him greater power to deal with the Japanese challenges at any time. In addition, I will immediately order the Far East Military Region to prepare for the first-level bomber combat preparations, and prepare at least 20 squadrons of bomber groups. Once the Japanese use force, they will immediately bomb Tokyo and give them some great things."

This is our leader. Molotov secretly admires and admires him. Even though he knows that it may destroy the Pacific Fleet, he still has the courage to move forward in the storm and rain. After pausing, Molotov suggested: "Comrade Shi Daling, it is of great importance. Do you think that an extraordinary meeting of the ** Bureau will be held to determine this matter?"

"Is it necessary?" Shi Daling asked back.

Molotov blinked and said affirmatively: "It is very necessary. If the situation deteriorates in the future and we suffer heavy losses, it is better for the collective to bear the responsibility than you alone."

"You, I'll control you too much. The worst thing is that it's the size of Nomenkan again. It's worth it to stop the Japanese's strategic intentions by ten thousand lives. However, since you insist, let's hold it once." Shi Daling looked at his loyal comrade and was amused by his trick.

"Comrade Shi Daling, what is the bottom line of negotiation? I will summon the Japanese ambassador immediately and let him pass this back first."

"All land mining rights on Sakhalin Island must be recovered, and they are only allowed to mine 80,000 tons per year at sea."

“What’s the reason?”
