() In this war that swept all major countries in the world, the pressure on the Soviet Union was undoubtedly the greatest. Hitler devoted more than 80% of his troops to the Soviet-German battlefield. Thousands of Soviets were deployed at every moment.
Soldiers and civilians lost their lives.
As a wartime leader, having an iron will is a necessary quality. No matter how many sacrifices are made, they can be regarded as a series of numbers. What we should really care about is not how many people died, but how many people are still alive, and how many are still alive.
Troops can be put on the battlefield with only one goal in the end, and that is victory. Only victory can have everything...
Stalin is undoubtedly such a ruthless commander. He has sent his son to the most dangerous front line, and he is a real front-line combat force. It is completely different from Roosevelt who sent his son to the logistics force.
Stalin is undoubtedly the most controversial figure in Russian history. Countless people regard him as the most brutal czar, but in Qiao Yu's view, Stalin is definitely the best leader in Russian history.
The special planes of the two heads of state landed in Chita, the capital of the Far Eastern Republic. Stalin arrived nearly an hour earlier than Qiao Yu. After he got off the plane, he waited for Qiao Yu's special plane in the temporary lounge. Stalin closed his eyes slightly, as if
He was taking a rest to relieve the fatigue of the journey, but his mind was spinning rapidly.
He was constantly thinking about how to deal with Qiao Yu. You must know that Stalin also made great efforts to deal with this old opponent. A few decades ago, China was still a country that allowed people to be preyed upon. Not to mention front-line powers such as the United States and Britain, just
Even the unpopular things from Italy can have special power in China. In the eyes of Western countries, China may have been glorious in the past, but now it has fallen to the point where it is no different from the indigenous Africans...
The country is torn apart, and there are smokers everywhere. There are many warlords from all sides. This is not so much a country as it is a geographical term. At this time, the Sichuan forces are rapidly rising under the leadership of Qiao Yu. First,
Taking advantage of the opportunity of World War I, he realized his own weapons. Then he unified the country forcefully and concentrated the efforts of the whole country to promote industrialization.
Over the past two decades, China has accumulated a huge industrial cluster and has a complete range of industrial sectors. Its scientific and technological strength has also been greatly improved. On the Soviet-German battlefield, there are many Chinese-produced arms and weapons, Chinese-made weapons and
Soviet-made weapons have many similarities, they are simple to operate, easy to produce, and powerful.
Compared with Soviet-made weapons, Chinese weapons pay more attention to actual combat, emphasizing the versatility of weapon parts. Simple parts can be replaced at any time, making maintenance easier than Soviet weapons. In particular, China also provided a large number of 107mm rocket launchers to the Soviet Union.
This weapon with a simple structure, great power, and extremely user-friendly design has won unanimous praise from the Soviet army.
The Supreme Command of the Soviet Union has approved the introduction of large quantities of Chinese artillery, and even Soviet factories have directly produced such rocket launchers. Twenty years have turned upside down, and now Russia actually wants to ask China for help. Stalin even found it a bit unreal.
This kind of untruth highlights the greatness of the man who created this miracle. There is no doubt that China’s leader is an extremely smart and far-sighted person. It is definitely not easy to deal with such a person. Stalin kept
Think about what price the other party will offer and what conditions you can agree to.
While Stalin's mind was racing, someone reported to him that Qiao Yu's special plane had arrived in Chita. Stalin hurriedly got up, surrounded by his entourage, and went to greet Qiao Yu.
At this time, all the high-level officials of the Far East Republic gathered at the airport. A silver-gray Chinese passenger plane, escorted by eighteen Phoenix fighter jets, slowly landed at the Chita airport. Qiao Yu's first
appeared in this city.
Among the giants of World War II, Churchill was the more diligent. He not only met with Roosevelt, but also went to Moscow. However, except for him, the leaders of China, the United States and the Soviet Union did not formally meet after the war began. This time in Chita
The meeting undoubtedly showed the unity of the anti-fascist side.
During World War II, every meeting between giants was a division of interests, and this meeting between Qiao Yu and Stalin was no exception.
After getting off the plane, Qiao Yu shook hands cordially with the officials of the Far East Republic. After the formal ceremony, he formally shook hands with Stalin who was waiting aside. Although the two masters of the country had known each other for a long time, this was their first meeting.
The two big hands held each other tightly.
Stalin looked much more haggard than in the photo. Obviously, the war on the Western Front had made him feel more stressed. However, the iron commander's hands were still very strong and his eyes showed full confidence. Qiao Yu was looking at Stalin, and Stalin was also looking at him.
With Qiao Yu.
Qiao Yu is more than ten years younger than Stalin, and because he looks relatively young, he looks about forty years old. It is a good time for a man to be in his prime. Qiao Yu specially wore tailoring this time.
The decent military uniform exudes a majestic and evil atmosphere.
The two heads of state held hands for more than three minutes, and then both looked at each other and smiled.
"Mr. Generalissimo, China and the Soviet Union are standing in the same trench. I believe there is no difficulty that can defeat us."
After hearing this, Stalin also had a smile on his face: "Victory must belong to a just cause. Hitler and his Nazi Party are destined to be eliminated. I am convinced of this."
After a brief conversation at the airport, the two heads of state officially went to a secret castle for negotiations. This castle was built by a former senior military officer of Tsarist Russia. It is completely Russian style, luxurious and grand, and is very suitable for the two heads of state.
identity of.
Both Qiao Yu and Stalin brought large delegations. They first informed each other of the situation on their respective battlefields, and then the Soviet side talked about the current difficulties and the next strategic plan. Due to the tight war situation in Stalingrad,
The early exchanges ended quickly.
That night, Qiao Yu and Stalin started a secret meeting. Each of them only brought a secretary and an interpreter, and the rest were excluded.
Qiao Yu spoke first: "Mr. Generalissimo, there is a saying in China called openness and honesty. We might as well say directly, what assistance does the Soviet Union need now?"
Stalin was not willing to waste time: "We need a lot of things, including light and heavy weapons, tanks and artillery, food and medicine, machine tool raw materials, truck cloth, etc. In short, any war-related materials are needed, and the more the better, the better.
The sooner the better; in addition, the foreign ministers of our two countries in Washington have finalized a cooperation agreement, which is to use Chinese human resources to help the Soviet Union produce military supplies. I think this project needs to be expanded!"
At present, more than 20 factories have been established in Xinjiang, Outer Mongolia and other places, all supported by China. More than 200,000 Chinese workers help the Soviet Union work. This scale is already very large, but compared with the Soviet-German battlefield
The above consumption, no matter how many troops, is not enough, Stalin urgently needs more supplements.
After hearing this, Qiao Yu thought for a moment and said with a smile: "China can completely meet these requirements, but I also have a condition in exchange. I wonder if Mr. Generalissimo can agree to it?"
Stalin knew that if he wanted to get enough supplies from China, he had to pay a price. This is universally accepted. However, at this time, the Soviet Union was in the most dangerous situation and had to agree to any conditions. Don't look at the fact that the United States is also participating in the war.
, but U.S. aid supplies can only go through the Arctic Ocean route, where there are an astonishing number of German submarines, and the Soviet Union has no chance of getting enough supplies.
The only country that can meet the needs of the Soviet Union is China. Originally, the border between two big countries was a natural misfortune, but at this time, it was a good thing. This is how blessings and misfortunes change.
"Mr. President, if you have any requests, I will try my best to meet them."
"It's very simple, it's the Far East. The Chinese army will soon take action to take over all the Far East occupied by Japan."
Stalin's face suddenly became ugly. He already knew Qiao Yu's plan. Gu Weijun had already told Molotov that the Soviet Union had also been studying how to deal with the problem in the Far East. There was no doubt that the Soviet Union wanted
The only one who can take back this land is China, who seems to be determined to win it, and one of the two sides is destined to retreat.
"The Far East was stolen from Russia by Japan. If China takes it away, it will be a serious violation of international law. The Soviet Union will never agree."
When did the Soviet Union talk about international law? Qiao Yu secretly laughed in his heart. The Russians have always believed in fists. Stalin said this, which is undoubtedly a sign of weakness. Germany has exhausted the Soviet Union, and now it is time to make this piece of steel surrender.
good times.
"Mr. Generalissimo, you and I both know that the land in the Far East was snatched from China by Russia. Now China is just taking back its own things. And I also want to establish a principle on this, that is, whoever occupies it belongs to whoever occupies it. Your country ri
After launching a counterattack against Germany, it is bound to occupy Eastern Europe and even the German mainland, and these areas can be included in the Soviet Union's sphere of influence. China is willing to see the Soviet Union make greater contributions to world peace."
The division of the results of World War II was mostly the same. Whoever got it first would get it. However, after Qiao Yu broke this point, he undoubtedly showed China's stance of supporting the Soviet Union's expansion in Eastern Europe. This is particularly important.
Stalin finally felt Qiao Yu's foresight. Now everyone is worried about whether the Soviet Union can hold Stalingrad, and Qiao Yu is already exchanging the post-war pattern with Stalin. Dealing with such a smart man is both a
A good thing, but also a distressing thing.
"Greece! Türkiye!"
Qiao Yu seemed to mention the two countries very casually. But Stalin suddenly thought clearly about what Qiao Yu meant, and his eyes suddenly lit up. (To be continued.)
