Chapter 0800 Soviet-German Non-Aggression Pact
And this is indeed the case with the dwarfs at this time, although the two sides have reached a 'friendly' agreement and both sides have the intention of moving towards 'peace', but the Soviet Union has delayed signing it for political reasons.
Moscow can afford to drag on, and Berlin, which is ready for mobilization for the campaign against Poland, cannot afford to wait.
After many attempts by the little man, both the British and French refused to make concessions on the Polish side.
Once the war began, and Germany and the Soviet Union did not come to an agreement, it was quite possible that Britain and France would be 'forced' to go to war with Germany under pressure and on the initiative of the Soviet Union.
At that time, the course of the war will be unfavorable to Germany, which is what the dwarf has to worry about, and it is also one of the important factors in the emergence of the Soviet-German non-aggression pact.
In the midst of the dwarf's anxious and hopeful waiting, the Soviet side finally submitted a draft non-aggression pact to the German ambassador in Moscow.
However, when the ambassador asked for an early visit to Moscow by German Foreign Minister Ribbentrop, the other side politely rejected his request.
Four days have passed, time has become more and more tense, and in this maddening moment, the little man decides to make some changes.
At this time, he put down his shelf and decided to send a direct telegram to the supreme leader of the Soviet side, personally asking him to immediately agree to his Foreign Minister Ribbentrop to go to Moscow, which he had long denounced and cursed.
In this telegram, signed directly to Stalin, he said: "I wholeheartedly welcome the signing of the new German-Soviet agreement, which will be the first and important step towards improving German-Soviet relations.
The conclusion of a non-aggression pact with the Soviet Union meant to me the establishment of a long-term German policy, which would henceforth return to the policy principles of the past, which were beneficial to both of us......"
At the end of the telegram, the dwarf also pointed out that he accepted the draft non-aggression pact and hoped that a full-time responsible German politician would personally come to Moscow to negotiate.
This is, of course, referring to his Foreign Minister Ribbentrop, but also to the fact that, given the current international situation, he can stay in Moscow for a maximum of two days.
After this telegram was sent, the little man's spirit was in a state of tension, and he even lost sleep because of it.
Late that night, he also called his henchman Goering to talk about the contents of the telegram and how the Soviet side would react to his telegram.
It wasn't until 9:28 p.m. on the evening of the 21st that he received a call back from the Soviet side agreeing to the exact reply of Ribbentrop to visit Moscow on the 23rd, and the stone in the little man's heart suddenly fell.
The frequent exchanges between Moscow and Berlin have not been exposed to the eyes of Western countries due to strict secrecy.
And the same is true of Ribbentrop, who was taken to the Kremlin as soon as he arrived in Moscow.
The two sides had a cold discussion and agreement on the text of the agreement, and the atmosphere of the meeting was far from friendly, and even the air seemed to be about to condense.
The assistant who accompanied the German Foreign Minister to the minutes of the meeting wrote: "Ribbentrop personally added an important sentence in the preface about the formation of friendly relations between Germany and the Soviet Union, which was opposed by Stalin.
He said that the Soviet government, after six years of unilateral dumping of dirty water and feces by the NC, could not suddenly bring a declaration of German-Soviet friendship to the public......"
Both the participants and the dwarfs who were waiting for news clearly understood that the Soviet-German non-aggression pact was only a stopgap measure.
There is no need for a friendly declaration, a false attitude, and war between them will be inevitable.
............
When the Soviet-German non-aggression pact was formally signed and announced, the whole world was in an uproar.
The 'Munich Front', which Chamberlain had tried so hard to maintain, was blown to pieces.
Britain and France tried to lure and co-opt Germany to go to war against the Soviet Union, and their conspiracy to bring disaster to the east failed.
At the same time, this agreement also announced the complete rupture of the tripartite negotiations between Britain, France and the Soviet Union.
In contrast to the government's fears, the British and French people were comically at a loss, and just yesterday they thought that Britain, France and the Soviet Union were about to reach a cooperation in the fight against NC.
When I woke up, my perception of the world changed dramatically.
Two countries that are least likely to shake hands and make peace with each other for six years have reached a non-aggression pact.
Behind this agreement, it is unknown whether there are other secret subsidiary agreements.
But the signing of this agreement greatly annoyed the little man's allies.
Mussolini and Franco openly expressed their rejection of the agreement, and the treaty hit Tokyo even harder.
At this time, Tokyo had already begun to fight the Soviets on the Sino-Mongolian border, and it was reported that before that, the Japanese side had sent a note to the dwarfs that they would "push forward" the war on a large scale in August.
But it was at this time that the little man, an ally, stabbed them in the back, and at this point, the Japanese Hiranuma cabinet collapsed.
In fact, the Soviet-German non-aggression pact affected not only the Soviet Union and Germany itself, but also had a profound impact on the Axis powers and the world pattern.
The advent of the treaty ensured, at least on paper, the security of the western borders of the Soviet Union and increased the pressure on the eastern borders against Japan.
And the defeat of the ongoing 'Battle of Nomenkan' is also linked to changes in Europe.
The process of reaching a Soviet-German non-aggression agreement must have taken a long time in the eyes of the outside world, but in fact it is indeed related.
The little dwarf, who was desperate to reach an agreement with the Soviet Union, let the Soviet side see the opportunity.
The absence of a threat from the west, coupled with the improvement of Soviet-German relations, would have an impact on the unification of the FXS alliance in favor of the USSR.
When the little man revealed his inner thoughts, the Soviet Far East was ready for a major counteroffensive.
The Soviet General Staff set the time for the counteroffensive in the early morning of the 20th, and according to the usual practice, half of the officers of the Japanese forward units were to take turns on this day for vacation.
In order to ensure that the news would not be leaked, the order of the General Staff Department was conveyed to the front line at 2 o'clock in the morning of the same day.
In the early morning, the Soviet army dispatched 3 infantry divisions, 2 cavalry divisions, 5 armored divisions, 1 machine gun brigade, 1 airborne brigade and more than 500 aircraft, 200 artillery pieces, etc. to carry out a fierce attack.
Although the Japanese army did not have a single tank at that time, it was heavily bombarded by the Soviet army with thousands of tons of artillery shells, but it was not afraid.
Its civil fortifications built in the wilderness of Northern Mongolia were quickly razed to the ground by the Soviet army, and the Japanese army relied on individual soldiers and sapper shovels to dig into improvised bunkers to continue the battle.
The war lasted for four days, and on the 24th, the Japanese army was able to organize troops to counterattack, and more than 3,000 reinforcements without artillery cover were not blocked in front of the barbed wire and field fortifications, and were severely attacked by the Soviet army.
Rifles and machine guns versus artillery and tanks, the war situation was one-sided, but the Soviet army was shocked by the madness of the Japanese army.
When the Soviets and Germans announced that they had reached a 'non-aggression pact', the Japanese army was being completely encircled and annihilated by the Soviet army.
This news greatly boosted the momentum of the Soviet army on the front-line positions, and also made the momentum of the Japanese army exhausted, and the battle became even more frenzied.
