Age of Rebirth

Tang Qiuli also guessed that the current situation in the eastern battlefield is quite unfavorable for the Soviet army. The situation in the European part of the Soviet Union is not good. The German army is on the offensive. Moscow is always facing the pressure of German soldiers. In this negotiation, what kind of bargaining chip should you use to impress yourself?

According to what I know about Stalin, the supreme leader of the Soviet Union is as greedy as a dog guarding the flesh and bones. Anyone who tries to get close will be barked. However, under the current situation, It is possible to take out the land, but it will never be too much. If you take out other things, what else does the Soviet Union have, which can be exchanged for independent divisions without doing anything to the Soviet army?

After much deliberation, Tang Qiuli couldn't make a judgment. Zhao Yuhe's way of negotiating was good, forcing Molotov to show his cards as soon as possible, "Yuhe, it's hard to judge now, but I can't surpass tomorrow. Tove will show his cards, and the Soviets can't hold back!" Tang Qiuli said.

Zhao Yuhe smiled relaxedly and said, "Master, then I will wait to accept the move!"

Tang Qiuli thought for a while, and said: "Yuhe, it's better to send a liaison officer to keep in touch with Molotov. Are you thinking about sending that person?"

"Teacher, don't worry about it. Xiao Hansheng, the captain of the Fourth Squadron of the Guard Brigade, is just right. He has received Molotov and is proficient in Russian! With his skills, the Soviets would not dare to attack him!" Zhao Yu He said without thinking.

There is a reason for this. After picking up Molotov and his party from the airport, Xiao Hansheng reported the process to the chief of staff. When he heard that Xiao Hansheng had killed that big Soviet colonel with only his murderous intent, he almost scared the shit out of him. Pants, Zhao Yuhe laughed happily, so.He thought that Xiao Hansheng was the best candidate for the liaison officer, and when the teacher proposed it, he recommended him without hesitation.

Tang Qiuli's head was swollen at that time. Xiao Hansheng is proficient in Russian, but is his personality suitable for this job?Seeing Zhao Yuhe's relaxed face and the attitude of the Soviets, he didn't say anything more.

After Zhao Yuhe left, Chu Tian looked at Tang Qiuli with sparkling eyes and said, "Master, you called me back urgently. Do you have any important tasks?"

Tang Qiuli looked at the sky of May in Outer Mongolia, where white clouds were floating in the air.I can already smell the breath of spring, and it won't be long.On the grasslands of Outer Mongolia.It will be lush and green, and the grassland in spring will be shrouded in gunfire and smoke because of one of my own decisions!

He turned around, looked at Chutian and said: "Chutian, the Soviet troops in the Far East and Outer Mongolia. It will be a matter of time before they all withdraw. The negotiations with the Soviet Union will also reach a satisfactory result. We Troops in the Ural Mountains and Tannu Mountains. There is no need to worry about threats from behind, and the special operations detachment can withdraw!"

Chutian didn't interrupt, let alone ask questions. He knew that the division commander's recall was not simply a matter of deploying the special warfare detachment to withdraw, "Chutian, the only mission of the special warfare detachment in the future is to go deep into the Far East. Azimuth scouts all the movements of the Japanese army in the Far East, including the number of the troops, weapons and equipment, and the name and characteristics of the commander, etc. I want to know everything about the Japanese army, the more detailed the better, do you understand?"

Chu Tian's heart moved, and he thought to himself, "Could it be that the commander is going to attack the Japanese army in the Far East?" But he didn't express his guess, stood up, and said in a clear voice: "Yes! Commander, the special warfare detachment will start soon." action!"

Unexpectedly, Tang Qiuli made a mistake in his judgment. The next day, the Soviet negotiating delegation did not show their hole cards, but submitted a diplomatic document through Xiao Hansheng asking Tang Qiuli to produce the negotiation framework documents, and took a Ask the independent division to withdraw the negotiator's statement letter.

It was Molotov's approval to ask the independent division to produce the corresponding negotiation documents, but the statement letter requesting the replacement of the negotiating representative was not his idea, but several attachés, especially those with Cheka The entourage in the background insisted again and again, of course, that they were behind Molotov's back. Zhao Yuhe's influence on them was extremely bad. out of the oven.

Of course, in the letter of statement, the Soviets did not dare to be presumptuous. They asked for a replacement in an extremely euphemistic way. They also knew whose territory they were in. As for the reason for requesting replacement, there was only one reason, which General Zhao did not know. Negotiation procedures between countries, as well as basic etiquette, therefore, our fragile hearts have been greatly devastated. The implication is to send a knowledgeable person to talk!

After reading the documents submitted by the Soviets, Tang Qiuli was so happy that he was about to lose his temper, but Zhao Yuhe was so angry that his face was livid, especially in front of Xiao Hansheng. Immediately go to Molotov to vent your anger, "Master, the Soviets are shameless. What do you know about negotiation procedures? An excuse! I'll ask that Molotov if you want to talk, and if you want to talk, talk to me!" "

Tang Qiuli stopped Zhao Yuhe, who was about to run away, and said, "Yuhe, what does this mean? The Soviets feel the pressure. If you don't follow the routine, they can't parry it. They can only propose a replacement. Also, do you think it is necessary to ask us to come up with a framework document for the negotiation?" Tang Qiuli's tone was more of an inspiration than a solicitation.

Zhao Yuhe thought for a while and said, "Master, I don't think it's necessary at all. What I said is very clear. That Molotov wants to play tricks on diplomatic occasions. He comes around. Let's Just shoot a gun, go straight, just ignore him, and see who is in a hurry!"

Tang Qiuli nodded with a smile. Although Zhao Yuhe was an amateur in diplomatic negotiations, he was able to grasp the key points. That's right, he could afford energy consumption, but could the Soviets afford it?On the Far East battlefield, the Soviet Far East Front Army was already in jeopardy under the siege of the Japanese army on all sides, and the reinforcements were blocked by the Japanese army in an area hundreds of kilometers away from the battlefield. If it was delayed for one more day, Zhukov's life would be even more difficult.

Molotov made the wrong idea. He used his old diplomacy method to deal with Zhao Yuhe. Just as Tang Qiuli was about to speak, Shan Hu pushed the door in. Seeing Zhao Yuhe's angry appearance, he immediately He asked curiously, "Chief of Staff Zhao, what's the matter so angry?"

Tang Qiuli handed the documents brought by the Soviets to Shanhu. After Shanhu read it once, he was overjoyed and said, "I'm just angry about this matter. It's not worth it, Chief of Staff. Why is the old man so angry, hey, the old man proposed a replacement, I think it's better for me to negotiate for the chief of staff, and save the two moves, so that the old man loses his temper at all!"

Tang Qiuli paused and said, "Just you? Let's rest! It's not like going to war!"

Shanhu muttered: "Why can't I do it? It's not like this kind of thing has happened!"

Tang Qiuli ignored Shanhu, and said to Zhao Yuhe, "Yuhe, help you out, squeeze out the Soviets' cards, and order Liu Chun's cavalry troops on the front line of Minusinsk to raid the Soviet Union from the flanks. The Mongolian Front, but tell Liu Chun not to cut into the depths of the Soviet Army, and leave with one blow, and send a telegram to Deputy Division Commander Liu, saying that the troops in the Far East intend to shorten the distance between the two front troops of the Soviet Army. If you want to launch an offensive at any time, add four words to the telegram to promote peace, and Deputy Commander Liu will understand!"

After waiting for a day, there was no reply from the Independent Division. Molotov was very anxious and depressed, and asked the liaison officer Xiao Hansheng, but the Chinese major officer was like a mute, didn't say a word, and asked a lot. Then, I stare at you with cold and swishing eyes, making your heart tremble and your throat dry.

Molotov was going crazy. He couldn't figure out Tang Qiuli's steps, so he had no choice but to wait in the hotel. On the evening of the next day, Moscow sent a top-secret telegram. The content of the telegram made Molotov Tove's face changed drastically, and he almost jumped up in surprise.

The telegram said, "In Outer Mongolia, Vasilevsky's troops were raided by the cavalry of the Independent Division. Although the losses were not large, it showed a serious situation. In Outer Mongolia, Tang Qiuli and other troops, and the cavalry is one of them."

"In the Far East, the independent divisions following the Outer Xing'an Mountains Front Army and the Baikal Lake Front Army suddenly approached the rear of these two troops and assumed an offensive posture. From this, it can be judged that Tang Qiuli did not reach negotiations with the Soviet Union. The agreement puts pressure on us, and at this critical moment in the battle to support Zhukov's troops, the malicious actions of the independent division troops will undoubtedly affect the Far East battlefield and the reinforcement operations for the Far East Front Army!"

At the end of the telegram, Molotov was urged to reach an agreement with Tang Qiuli as soon as possible. If necessary, more concessions could be made on the basis of the original. Molotov, who was familiar with Stalin's style, had no doubts about this. Other members of the Politburo did not have this power.

But the crux of the problem is that it has been two days since I arrived in Kulun. Except for a brief and unpleasant conversation with Major General Zhao who didn’t understand anything, I haven’t even had a symbolic meeting. Just hang yourself in a small hotel, under such a passive military and diplomatic situation, if you don't show your cards, it will definitely not work. After spending half your life in the diplomatic field, how could you meet such a fool as Major General Zhao? Now, it seems that it is probably Tang Qiuli specially used it to deal with herself, cunning!

In Molotov's heart, Tang Qiuli had already scolded Tang Qiuli countless times for taking advantage of others' danger, dishonest, insidious and cunning, etc. After scolding, he said weakly to his entourage: "Submit our conditions to the Chinese, and in the original In addition to the Tangnu Wulianghai area, in the document, clearly tell Tang Qiuli that this is our final bottom line!"

At this moment, Molotov felt severe pain in his heart.
