Age of Rebirth

After saying this, Zhao Yuhe didn't even look at Molotov, but got up and left. Tang Qiuli suppressed a smile, got up and walked out side by side with Zhao Yuhe. , "Chief of Staff Zhao really knows how to act. The score is bigger than Xiaoqiu. Let's cooperate!"

Shanhu stepped forward and said, "The car is right outside, please!" Although he said "Please", he didn't mean to be polite at all, and his eyes were so bright that he almost got Molotov out of the way on the spot. .

Molotov was completely stunned. Looking at Tang Qiuli and Zhao Yuhe who were walking further and further away, he knew that once these two people left, there would be no possibility of negotiation anymore, regardless of the performance of General Zhao just now. , How clumsy, but the unavoidable fact is that when the independent division attacked the Soviet army, it was only a thought, "General Tang, General Zhao! - Please stay, we can still sit down and discuss!" He panicked shouted, for fear that the two of them would really be gone forever.

As soon as Zhao Yuhe's face changed, he was about to stop. In fact, he was not walking fast. Tang Qiuli, who was on the side, gave him a hard look and kept walking. Zhao Yuhe grinned, "General Tang, Zhao General, we can agree to your conditions!" Molotov almost yelled out these few words, and after he finished, his body went limp, his eyes turned black, and he sat down on the chair, all his bones were shattered. Take away the general.

These few words had an effect, Zhao Yuhe stopped in his tracks, glanced at the teacher next to him, Tang Qiuli had a playful smile on the corner of his mouth, and nodded indiscernibly, Zhao Yuhe's smile could not be concealed He turned around slowly and said, "I heard you right. Mr. Molotov agreed to our conditions? But don't force yourself, I am a person. I don't want others to embarrass me!"

Molotov almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He didn't even have the strength to express his anger, and he said weakly: "Yes, I agree to your terms, but the matter is of great importance, and it involves the territorial issue of the Soviet Union. I must ask Moscow for instructions, General Zhao, before ten o'clock tomorrow morning. Is it okay to give you a clear answer?" He was almost begging, but he really couldn't make the decision to cede so much land at once, no Comrade Stalin nodded.is impossible.

Zhao Yuhe's tone became more and more gentle. "Mr. Molotov. Don't worry. Please consider carefully. We don't care about three to five days. We have enough patience to wait for your reply! Today, the Soviet negotiating delegation is staying here. Take a good rest, I will order the kitchen to prepare a table of authentic Russian dishes for you, and I will take my leave!" He said very gentlemanly.Courtesy, but also with considerate care.

Under the leadership of Tang Qiuli, all the personnel of the Independent Division left, and there were only a few Soviets left in a state of despair in the room. The bright sunshine in the afternoon of May in Outer Mongolia shone into the room, reflecting their pale and With a sallow face, "Flop!" Molotov, who was sitting on the chair, couldn't help it anymore, his throat was sweet, and a mouthful of blood spewed out. Under the sun, it showed a misty blood mist.

"Comrade Molotov——! Several entourages and guards rushed over with a cry of alarm, protruding a mouthful of blood. Instead, Molotov felt better and waved his hands weakly, stopping the panic of the entourage and guards.

"Comrade Molotov, do we really agree to such greedy and unreasonable conditions from the Chinese?" one of the entourage asked indignantly.

Molotov didn't even have the mood to scold him for being a pighead, "Immediately send a telegram to Comrade Stalin, explaining everything that happened in Kulun. In addition, in the telegram, it is important to explain that the troops of the Independent Division are already in a position to attack at any time." Therefore, I suggest that Comrade Stalin and the Politburo carefully consider Tang Qiuli's harsh conditions, and don't let your anger wash away your reason. Now is not the time for us to be angry!"

After giving the order, it seemed that all his mental energy had been exhausted. Molotov's thinking fell into a state of disorder, "The Soviet Union still cannot escape the Chinese, the 85th longitude line is another line, but it is More than a year ago, the Chinese drew a line on the Indian continent and cut off nearly half of the Indian continent from the British. Unexpectedly, such a fate fell on the head of the Soviet Union!" He Sad to think.

I remember that at that time, I discussed this matter with Comrade Stalin. In my words, I ridiculed the British, ridiculed their incompetence, and couldn’t even keep the cake in my hand. The fate of the Soviet Union fell on the Soviet Union, and now it seems that it is nothing more than fifty steps and a hundred steps.

Molotov opened his heavy eyelids, and the sun slanted westward outside the window, reflecting his sallow complexion, "The sun is setting! -- Could it be that this is the future fate of the Soviet Union!" his troubled heart.

Back at the headquarters, as soon as he entered Tang Qiuli's office, Shan Hu gave Zhao Yuhe a thumbs-up, and said, "Chief of Staff, you are really there, even beating and threatening, I didn't see it, you still have such Too many twists and turns!"

Zhao Yuhe smiled and replied: "It's rare, Captain Huang never admires others. This is also a strategy. The division commander is worried. After a long delay, the Soviet Far East Front Army was killed by the Japanese army, and the other two Soviet troops The troops were entangled in the Far East by the Japanese army. Stalin gave up Moscow and withdrew all the troops in the European direction to the east of the Ural Mountains. If we deal with it, it will be very troublesome, so I gave it to Mo Lotov has given a strong dose of medicine!"

What Zhao Yuhe said was Tang Qiuli's other worry. If Stalin really did this, although his vitality would be severely damaged and he would not be able to pose a sufficient threat to the Independent Division, Tang Qiuli's main goal in the next step would be to It was the Japanese army in the Far East, with the vengeful Stalin behind them. After all, it was an uncertain factor. If Stalin stabbed him in the back during a fierce battle with the Japanese army, he would be in big trouble.

With Stalin's character and consistent approach, he was able to do it. It is not impossible to shake hands with the Japanese and jointly deal with the independent division. In the face of interests, the enemy can also become an ally. According to Tang Qiuli's estimation, Stalin hated I hate the Japanese more than myself, so I forced the Soviets to sign a negotiation agreement as soon as possible to prevent unexpected changes. The battlefield in the Far East is complicated and ever-changing. Neither can Qiu Li.

Everyone burst into laughter, Tang Qiuli said to Zhao Yuhe: "Yuhe, immediately send a telegram to Deputy Commander Liu, the North China Field Corps in the Far East, the Niangziguan Garrison Corps headquarters, and immediately prepare to evacuate the Far East battlefield and return to the western Liaoning area Prepare for the Jinzhou front line, pay attention, the evacuation must wait for the order of the division headquarters before acting, and pay attention to concealed whereabouts!"

"In addition, order Sun Zhenbang's Outer Mongolian Field Corps to leave Kulun immediately and go to the eastern part of Outer Mongolia to stand by! Order the troops directly under the regiment in the Ural Mountains and Tannu Mountains to wait for the division's order and prepare to go to the Far East. Also, pay attention to concealment!"

"Master, do you think the Soviets will agree to our conditions?" Zhao Yuhe asked a little surprised. Although all the efforts were done, the piece of meat cut from the Soviets was really too big. Growing up, it is normal for the Soviets to suffer painful hesitation and psychological struggle for a few days.

Tang Qiuli sneered and said: "Stalin has no choice. The Soviet Far East Front Army is in danger, and the entire army may be wiped out at any time. The Soviet army who came back to aid did not dare to let go because they were worried that we would do something behind our backs." To break the Japanese blockade, the longer the delay, the more dangerous the situation in the Far East will be. Stalin understands this better than anyone else. He is not confused. Once Zhukov's troops are completely wiped out, the two Soviet fronts that return to aid will not be able to escape. That Zai Ren will not let go of such an opportunity with the power of victory!"

"The battle in the Far East will continue for a while. Even if Zhukov breaks out and we get out of the way, the Japanese and Soviet troops will still fight for a few more days. These few days are the best time for us to adjust our deployment. , the Japanese army under Zai Ren has just finished the bloody battle with the Soviet army, and its strength will inevitably be greatly damaged, and it is time for us to attack the Japanese!"

Zhao Yuhe understood that the division commander had already decided on the time to attack the Japanese army. The strange thing is that this was obviously the division commander's plan to attack the Japanese army. Moreover, Zhao Yuhe could conclude that neither Stalin nor Prince Zairen could attack the Japanese army. I can see this, but the Soviets and Japanese are helpless. If the strategy is used in this way, it should be so proficient that it is almost monstrous?

The night is dark, the streets and alleys of Moscow have lost the hustle and bustle of the past, and even the street lights on the street have dimmed a lot. Although the war is still far away from Moscow, the streets of Moscow are shrouded in an air of anxiety everywhere , Just today, a German bomber formation bombed Moscow for the first time. Although the losses were not large, the citizens of Moscow experienced the cloud of war for the first time, and it had already shrouded their heads.

The Kremlin, the General Secretary of the CPSU Central Committee, the Chairman of the Soviet Council of Ministers, and the office of Stalin, the commander-in-chief of the Soviet Supreme Command, are brightly lit. Leaders from all walks of life in the Soviet party, government, and military, and members of the Politburo have all been called here urgently for a An urgent call from Kulun, Outer Mongolia.

Dozens of people crammed into Stalin's office, making the huge room a bit crowded. Stalin sat on a high-backed chair with a rather ugly face, smoking his pipe fiercely without saying a word, and the light blue smoke lingered erratically. on his livid face.

Just now, the secretary read out Molotov's call, which resounded in the hearts of all the officials like a huge thunder, and then, everyone fell silent, a frozen atmosphere filled with around every corner.
