Age of Rebirth

Chapter 810 Negotiation

The Japanese-Soviet War broke out in the Soviet Far East. As the only heavy-armed group in the Far East of the Soviet Union, the Second Far Eastern Army under the command of Admiral Timoshenko fell into the encirclement of three Japanese troops. The Transcaucasus Front Army was ordered to go to support. This opportunity was captured by Tang Qiuli.

The Corps directly under the Independent Division and the Sulu Mobile Corps, under the command of Tang Qiuli, have besieged Zhukov's First Far East Army for more than ten days. The Soviet government has not sent a high-level delegation, and Tang Qiuli gradually lost With patience, he also saw through Stalin's mind. Therefore, this time the Transcaucasus Front Army went to the Far East to fight fires, and he was not allowed to go smoothly. This is called peace.

One part of Feng Jiwu's Niangziguan Garrison Corps was in the Irkutsk region south of Lake Baikal, and Tang Qiusheng's Sulu Mobile Corps had eight mechanized brigades in the Ulan-Ude region east of Lake Baikal. The *** line is firmly stuck in the passage of the Eastern Region of the Transcaucasus Front Army.

Facing a battle that could not end soon, the commander of the Transcaucasus Front, General Paul Pilyuski, did not dare to act rashly. As long as he opened fire, it would be a protracted battle. Without a month or so, the Front Army would not even think about moving forward. He had to order the chief of staff of the front army to immediately ask the general staff how to deal with it. [

With a "snap", the ink bottle jumped up on the huge desk, and a dip pen rolled to the ground. Comrade, furious, after slapping the table, cursed angrily.

Several senior Soviet generals stood aside silently. It was rare to see Comrade Stalin furious like this. It was none other than the one who made Stalin so angry. + The Soviet Army sent troops to block the Transcaucasus Front Army. The second person of the National Government who gloated at other people's misfortunes, the head of the Independent Division, and his Excellency Tang Qiuli, the Second General of the Army.

After reading Paulpilyusky's telegram, Stalin was so angry that his head swelled. He knew too well the strength of Tang Qiuli's move. Blocking Timoshenko, who was struggling to support the Transcaucasian army, meant that the Far East The outcome of the annihilation of the Second Army, if so, the Soviet Union's forces in the Far East will be permanently expelled by the Communists.

After losing his temper, Stalin knew what was going on in the Outlaws, so he couldn't delay any longer. Tang Qiuli, a sinister and despicable Chinese, might have some new conspiracy. He sat down on the big chair and said, "Here Comrade Molotov sent a telegram, immediately negotiating with Tang Qiuli on behalf of the Soviet government, the prerequisite is that the Transcaucasian Army should immediately clear the passage to the east," Stalin ordered, and this order seemed to have exhausted all his energy.

Staying in Minusinsk, waiting for the next order, Molotov, after receiving Stalin's telegram, knew that the matter was of great importance and did not dare to delay, so he immediately drove to Uliasutai by car. After half a day and one night of turbulence , Molotov finally arrived at the location after five o'clock in the morning the next day.

On the outskirts of the encirclement, Molotov broke out in a cold sweat when he saw the squadron's lineup. Now he began to understand the open situation in China. Maybe he lived comfortably, and he also understood why Zhukov didn't forcefully break through.

After the news that Zhukov was surrounded by Tang Qiuli spread to Moscow, Molotov greatly despised Zhukov in his heart. In his opinion, Zhukov still had 10,000+ troops in his hands. Blood Road, very disapproving of Zhukov's way of being caught without a fight.

He also secretly hated that he was not a soldier, otherwise, he would never be as useless as Zhukov. Only here did he understand that war is not what he imagined in his luxurious Moscow office. many.

As soon as Molotov's convoy arrived at Uliasutai, it was stopped by the surrounding security forces. The accompanying interpreter immediately informed him of his intention and wanted to have a meeting with General Tang Qiuli immediately. Chief of Staff Chang Feng was in command After listening to the report of the troops, he thought for a while and said, "Tell the Soviets that the division commander is resting. We will determine the location and time of the negotiation after eight o'clock."

Chang Feng definitely understood the teacher's intentions, and let the Soviets hang out first. It's been more than ten days.Stalin is a master who does not shed tears until he sees the coffin.

The autumn sunshine of the outer grasslands shone warmly into the tent. Tang Qiuli opened his eyes comfortably and slept very comfortably that night. Changfeng asked the sentinel of the special guard from outside: "Master is awake!" No?" "Is it Chang Feng? Come in and talk about something," he shouted towards the outside of the tent.

Chang Feng lifted the curtain of the tent and came in. Seeing Tang Qiuli still sitting on the bed, looking like an old god, he couldn't help laughing. Just now, he received a report from the outside troops that the Soviet delegation The head of the regiment, Molotov, stayed up all night and turned around in a hurry, but he didn't dare to take a step forward, and he didn't know how many times he circled the car.

"Master, the Soviet delegation arrived here at around five o'clock this morning. The head of the delegation, Molotov, requested immediate negotiations." "Oh! The Soviets have finally arrived," Tang Qiuli muttered meaningfully One sentence, and then said: "Tell them, I have important military affairs to deal with now, and tell them to wait!"

Chang Feng agreed to go out, and the cook brought a delicious breakfast. Tang Qiuli ate slowly while thinking: "It is Molotov who came. At this period in history, among all the members of the Politburo of the Soviet Union, this guy has the highest status. He is very high, almost ranked fourth or fifth, and he is in charge of foreign affairs in the Soviet Union, a person Stalin absolutely trusts, and his coming means that he brought Stalin’s idea, so we can talk about it.”

Tang Qiuli took his time here, but Molotov rushed to the room in a hurry. He watched the time pass by an hour. According to the time, the Transcaucasus Front Army had already delayed a day and a night of travel. Timoshenko's side It's getting tighter and tighter, but this damn Chinese has never shown his face. What does it mean to be under the eaves and have to bow his head? Molotov understands the meaning of this sentence very well.

After lunch, Molotov still hadn't received any notification from the Chinese side. Molotov was almost going crazy, but Tang Qiuli had a good sleep. After waking up, he felt in a good mood and knew that the heat was almost ready. : "Tell the Chief of Staff to inform the Soviets to come to the division headquarters and negotiate."

Just when Molotov was about to collapse, a lieutenant colonel came in and said with a serious expression: "According to the order of our division commander, the Soviet delegation will go to the negotiation site immediately." Molotov almost shouted to God The Holy Spirit has manifested, and the Chinese has finally put on airs enough.

It was an ordinary big tent, and the murderous look on the guards at the door made Molotov, who had never smelled gunpowder, tightened his heart, "What kind of person is he going to face? He is an experienced old man. Or a rude soldier?" He wondered in his mind.

The furnishings in the tent are very simple, basically tables and chairs piled up with medicine boxes, covered with dark green military blankets, a young man is sitting on the chair, and beside him is a slightly older young man, Molotov Scanning around, he didn't find the person he was negotiating with. These two people were too young to look alike. [

When he knew that the young man in front of him was his negotiating opponent, Tang Qiuli, who had caused the loss of the Soviet Red Army and made Stalin hate him, Molotov was so surprised that his jaw almost hit his foot. Like a commander who can command thousands of troops, it would be quite remarkable to be a lieutenant at this age in the Soviet Red Army!

Whether Molotov believes it or not, the four gold stars on Tang Qiuli's military uniform, the temperament and cold murderous aura exuding from his body, especially the scar on his face, doubtless prove the master's rich battlefield experience. Molotov's eyes collided, and it seemed as if a string of sparks could be felt in the air.

From Tang Qiuli's eyes, Molotov felt that this young man was extremely difficult to deal with. Today, he might not be able to take advantage of it, "Dear General Tang, I am entrusted by the Soviet government and Comrade Stalin to go abroad* **Question, to negotiate with you, before the negotiations start, can you order your troops to clear the passage in the Baikal region so that the Transcaucasian Front can pass?"

Molotov is an old fox. He knows that things must be urgent. The Transcaucasian Front can reinforce Timoshenko according to the original plan. Even if it takes ten and a half days to negotiate, he is not in a hurry. Anyway, negotiations are bargaining and lip service. .

"Yes, I will immediately order the troops to clear the passage, your army can pass through without hindrance, and will not receive any interference on our foreign territory," Tang Qiuli said bluntly.

Molotov was taken aback. He didn't expect Tang Qiuli to be so forthright. He was about to spend some more time talking about it. His plan fell through, like a punch with the strength of his whole body hitting the cotton bag, an indescribable feeling in his heart.

However, Molotov also keenly grasped the meaning in Tang Qiuli's words. The Transcaucasus Front Army was marching in the Baikal region, so how could it be on the territory of Transcaucasia?Where should it be the territory of the Soviet Union?

Tang Qiuli's real intention was to tell Molotov face to face that your Soviet army is now marching on our Chinese territory, and we can take action at any time. The Baikal region is originally China's.

The negotiation has not officially started yet. Tang Qiuli has already had a confrontation with Molotov. The next negotiation is destined to not go smoothly.
