Age of Rebirth

"The text of the treaty?" Hearing what Tang Qiu said, Stalin and Molotov were both taken aback, and a strange feeling suddenly flashed in their hearts, especially Stalin, who was instantly overwhelmed by a strong sense of shame, and , the document is still printed in Russian. ?. .

In Stalin's view, he was taken from Kurgan, hundreds of kilometers away, to Tomsk by a reconnaissance plane that could crash in a heavy snowstorm at any time, just to sign what the Chinese said Yes, and it is something that has been prepared long ago. It seems that it is to fulfill a procedure. It feels like the emperor summoning his courtiers, and like a victorious general on the battlefield, treating his defeated generals immediately and waving them. That goes for the arrogant attitude.

Stalin's lips and hands began to tremble. He was angry and humiliated. He really wanted to slam the document handed over by the Chinese Communist officer on the face of the Chinese Tang Qiuli in front of him. But he didn’t dare, Molotov touched him secretly and reminded him in a low voice: “Comrade Stalin, please calm down, let’s read the contents of these documents before making a decision!”

Stalin's expression and reaction, as well as Molotov's small movements, did not escape Tang Qiuli's observation. He sneered in his heart, "This is considered a slap in the face!" Then, he took out a cigarette and lit it, his eyes half-opened. Half closed, seemingly leisurely smoking. "What? Does Mr. Stalin have any objections to the specific content of the document?" Tang Qiuli still said slowly, and he did not mean any disagreement.It's about opposing opinions, the difference here is huge!

"Of course!" Stalin's voice trembled with anger, "If I sign this document, then I, Stalin, will be a criminal in the history of the Soviet Socialist Republic, a traitor who betrayed the interests of the country, and the leader of the great Soviet Union. Traitor! I will never sign these documents. Even if you shoot me!"

"Is it so serious? Mr. Stalin, you are not alarmist, are you?" Tang Qiuli pretended to be surprised and said, "All the contents of the documents are beneficial to you Soviet people. Before my staff drafted the documents At that time, I had already emphasized that we should focus on the interests of you Soviet people. If Mr. Stalin thought that he signed this document, the consequences would be as serious as you said. It was my negligence!" "However, I remind Mr. Stalin that anger Not only will it cause people to lose their minds, but it will not solve practical problems, let alone turn the severe winter in West Siberia into a warm spring with flowers, and it will not make the tens of thousands of Soviet soldiers and Soviet government agencies that retreated to Kurgan People. We are full of food. Also, the hundreds of thousands of German soldiers on the west side of the Ural Mountains. They will not change their original intentions because of the anger of Mr. Stalin!"

After finishing speaking, Tang Qiuli got up with a smile and said to Liu Tiehan: "Brother Tiehan, please ask the cooking class to prepare some meals for the two guests. I guess they don't even have their stomachs full. It's a cold day." Well, it’s too pitiful, we Chinese have always paid attention to the way of hospitality, and we still need some etiquette!”…

Then, Tang Qiuli turned around and said to the two Soviets very elegantly: "Mr. Stalin and Mr. Molotov, since we don't need to talk, then Tang Qiuli will leave. Bit of appetite!"

Stalin's face suddenly turned pale from ashen. He understood too well what Tang Qiuli said just now, which seemed to be soft and soft. The tens of thousands of Soviet soldiers and government officials will definitely not survive this winter. Second, the hundreds of thousands of elite German troops on the west side of the Ural Mountains will launch an attack at any time. The implication is that the signing of these documents can change the current situation of the Soviet government Desperate!

These two problems are currently in front of me, problems that cannot be solved by changing, choose one of the two, either starve to death, freeze to death, or be beaten to death by the Germans, and there is a third option, according to the Chinese The routine continued, but the final result was that he lost everything, and the Soviet Union existed in name only. However, he had already released his harsh words just now, and he hurriedly winked at Molotov.

Molotov fought a cold war. He knew better than Stalin that Tang Qiuli's words implied a threat, and he also knew the serious consequences. Comrade Stalin could refuse it outrightly, but he had to mediate and negotiate. It cannot be broken. Thinking of this, he hastily shouted loudly: "General Tang, please stay!"

When Liu Tiehan saw that the teacher was between words, he made the two old Maozi leaders look like they had collapsed, and he was already happy, "Oh! Mr. Molotov, do you have anything else to say? ?” Tang Qiuli stopped, and asked in a strange manner, he knew in his heart that after these words were thrown out, Stalin would definitely give in and pretend to be a hero with me.

Molotov pushed his glasses and said: "Dear General Tang, there is generally no difference in the specific content of the documents, but there are three points that we can easily accept. First, the Soviet Union's National defense is in charge of the squadron. Second, Soviet diplomacy is in charge of the Chinese government. Without national defense and diplomacy, is the Soviet Union still a sovereign state? Third, please don’t use the name of the Soviet government-in-exile. We are still on our own land !"

As expected of a seasoned diplomat, Molotov grasped the core content of the document at once. Apart from these three points, everything can be discussed. Stalin's face looked better, and he looked at his subordinates with sincere joy. .

"Hahaha!" Tang Qiuli burst into laughter, and then said: "Mr. Molotov, it is precisely these three points. I need the basis for your Soviet government to sign documents. Without this basis, the signed documents are just waste paper. A few! Let me tell you, my generals told me that solving the problem of the remnants of the Soviet army that retreated to Kurgan is far from that complicated, and force is always the most direct and effective means!"

Speaking of this, Tang Qiuli pointed to Liu Tiehan and said: "This is my deputy, General Liu Tiehan. His troops have at least more than 20 brigades and nearly 40 troops. They have been deployed along the border. Prepare to use force to deal with the remnants of the Soviet army in the Kurgan area at any time! Don’t think that my 40 soldiers are here for vacation in Siberia in such severe cold weather!”

"Also, if we didn't provide you with food for the winter, tens of thousands of Soviet soldiers would not be able to survive this winter. Although you can plunder the food of local residents in Kurgan and surrounding areas, the vast land of West Siberia People are sparsely populated and food is extremely scarce, even if you dig three feet of ground, the food you get can last for a few days, don't forget, the severe cold in Siberia has just begun!"

"Mr. Stalin, you can be angry, you can refuse, but this is the reality, the cruel reality. According to my request, after signing these documents, your people can safely spend this winter without being starved to death. At the same time , You can also ensure your own life, not be taken away by German soldiers, and there is still a piece of territory that belongs to you, to continue your Soviet country, knowing that hundreds of thousands of elite German troops will stop advancing when they reach the west side of the Ural Mountains, What is the reason?"...

Speaking of this, Tang Qiuli's eyes shot out a sharp cold light, and he stared at Stalin who was already at a loss.

"Why? Could it be that you have reached some agreement with Hitler?" Stalin asked subconsciously. His spirit was about to collapse. Tang Qiuli's words were like knives, piercing his heart. This Chinese has gathered more than 40 troops, which means to do something to himself. If he does not sign the document, it means,

"You are very smart, Mr. Stalin!" Tang Qiuli teased, "Yes, just two days ago, I arrived in Kiev, Ukraine, and met with Hitler, the head of state of Germany. One of the main topics of the meeting was the German army You must not cross the Ural Mountains and enter the Asian region. Otherwise, Mr. Stalin and the remnants of the defeated Soviet army escaped from the Soviet government-in-exile in Moscow, and they still have time to take a short rest in Kurgan, a small city with a population of only a few thousand. and stay?"

"As expected!" Stalin murmured to himself with blank eyes, and he suddenly understood everything. This sinister and cunning Chinese had long been in collusion with Hitler, the fascist leader!

Suddenly, Stalin shouted hysterically, "General Tang, Hitler is the leader of fascism. He directed the German army to invade the territory of the Soviet Union, and you are the deputy commander of the Allied Army headquarters. If you associate with such a person, you will not be afraid of international public opinion." Do you condemn it? Also, we signed the Treaty on the 81st Parallel of West Longitude. The West Siberia region is the territory of the Soviet Union, and we promised not to invade each other. Are you going to tear up the treaty and attack Kurgan?"

"Ah!" Tang Qiuli sighed, shook his head helplessly, and looked at Stalin, who had almost lost his mind, with pitiful eyes. leader of the Soviet Union.
