Chapter 249: Zhang Zongqing's Conditions for Peace Talks
The Battle of Normenkan ended almost completely in a devastating manner.
Due to the surprise attack of the Wumeng Banner, the retreat of the mechanized troops of the Great Bear Country was directly cut off.
Zhu Kefu did not complete the strategic goal of the reservation.
The 100,000-strong army even had only a few thousand people left, and they fled into the country in a hurry under the command of Zhu Kefu.
As for how Zhu Kefu successfully escaped back to the Great Bear Country, perhaps only Zhu Kefu and Zhang Zongqing know.
"After that, the war against the Great Bear Country will be handled by you!"
Zhang Zongqing was very satisfied with Hu Lian's overall command.
The rest of the finishing war was naturally handed over to Hu Lian to continue to deal with.
And Starin, the chief consul of the Great Bear Country, was also after transferring Zhu Kefu back to Slinggrad.
A new commander, Rokossovsky, was sent to replace Zhu Kefu in the command position.
At this time, in the Kremning Palace.
In the hands of the chief consul of the Great Bear Country, Stalin, he held the report of the conditions of the peace talks sent by Zhang Zongqing.
His hands trembled a little, and his whole person was filled with words.
Zhang Zongqing's terms for peace talks were not harsh.
But Stahlin always felt that there was some trap hidden in the terms of the peace talks.
"Return all the land sold to the Great Bear State in the unequal treaties signed by the Qing court."
In fact, the content of this peace talk was as early as the establishment of the newly-born Big Bear Country ZQ.
It was already promised to return all of it to Huaguo.
It's just that as the strength of the Great Bear Country continues to grow, they no longer need the support of Huaguo.
The Great Bear also seems to have forgotten about the promise to return Chinese territory.
The Chief Archon of the Great Bear Country, Starin, as a ZK, was obviously able to agree to this condition.
However, the fact that Huaguo later demanded a 100-year lease of several pieces of land in the Far East made Stahlin extremely confused.
Because these areas are barren, even the conditions for growing crops are not enough.
At the first time, Stalin felt that there was a great possibility that there were rich minerals hidden here, which had been discovered by Huaguo.
But he had already sent several groups of scientists to conduct detailed surveys of these lands.
I didn't find this place too special.
And the relevant reasons given by Huaguo.
It is also a place that is conducive to the erection of communication equipment.
At the same time, it is also conducive to scientific research activities in space and the Arctic.
After thinking about it again and again, Starin could only finally agree to Zhang Zongqing's conditions.
After all, with the information that Starin knew, and the current level of technology in the Great Bear Country.
There is no way to find that there is a lot of oil and gas hidden here.
"Comrade Helu Xiaofu, this is a condition for peace talks in China."
"Among them, the compensation for China's military expenses totaling 25 million rubles, as well as the return of the territory occupied by the Great Bear State before, I think they are both acceptable."
"But isn't it too strange for China to spend 500,000 rubles to lease these places for a hundred years?"
Starling keenly felt that something seemed to be wrong, but he couldn't tell what Hua Guo's move was for.
Is it really just to get a few scientific research bases?
Hearing this, Tsuru Xiaofu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.
"Comrade Starin, I really know a little bit about this."
"Zhang Zongqing of Huaguo has a father-in-law named Ma Yuzao, who is said to be a famous professor in Huaguo."
"He has a deep study of astronomy and geology, and there was a stalemate in our negotiations with Huaguo."
"Because Huaguo once asked us to compensate for the loss of 50 million rubles in military spending, but our ambassador of the Great Bear Country has always refused to agree to this condition."
"Later, he was a scholar in our Great Bear Country, and he used to have a relationship with Professor Ma Yuzao in Huaguo."
"In the end, it was possible to reach the condition of 25 million rubles less military spending on this condition."
Tsuru Tsurushchev was very complacent and told this story.
At this moment, Starin's frowning brow, which was tightly knit like an iron lock, was finally untied in an instant.
Stahlin knew that Huaguo was a personal society, and naturally believed that Zhang Zongqing might be able to make this choice because of Bo Hongyan.
It's just that it's really humiliating!
But Starin is a heroic figure after all.
So he finally nodded and agreed to the treaty.
After all, the pressure on the Great Bear Country is too great, if the state of war with China is not ended.
If country D also starts a war against the Great Bear Country at the same time, even if it is the size of the Great Bear Country.
Unable to resist the attack of the two beasts.
"Comrade Tsurushchev, go tell the diplomats and conclude a treaty with them."
"It's up to you to be the representative of this peace talks!"
Starin, the Chief Archon of the Great Bear Nation, waved his hand.
He rubbed his temples, as if he was looking extremely tired.
However, the conclusion of the peace talks finally loosened the thread that made Stahlin tighten.
On two fronts, east and west, at war with two powerful countries at the same time.
This is something that Starin can't afford, and it's something that Big Bear simply can't afford.
"Yes, Comrade Starin!"
"I promise to complete the task and never let the Great Bear Country fall into the situation of fighting on two fronts, east and west."
Tsurushchev stood straight, he knew that as long as Starin agreed to the peace talks.
Everything else is just going through the motions.
This credit has been properly received by him.
At the same time, Zhang Zongqing and Jiang Baili, Yang Jie and Yang Yongtai and several others.
Also sitting in the conference room, they were waiting for the latest news from the Kremnin Palace.
After a while, a member of the secret service team, led by Zheng Yaoxian, walked into the conference room.
"How's it going?"
Everyone looked at Zheng Yaoxian, who walked in from the outside, and quickly asked.
"It is said that when Tsuru Rychev came out of Stalin's office, he was in a good mood."
"It seems that there should be a clear answer."
"The treaty should be a success!"
Everyone looked at Zhang Zongqing in surprise, their faces full of incredulity.
Is this really okay?
Through such a simple scheme, Starin, the chief consul of the Great Bear Country, really agreed?
But Zhang Zongqing seemed to be victorious, hahaha laughed.
"I'm not wrong to tell you, the Great Bear Country Stalin has made a lot of calculations, and he would never have imagined that in the depths of those locations, there would be rich oil and gas resources."
"With the strength and level of the Great Bear Country, they are not able to detect the oil and gas reserves in these locations at this time."
"Actually, whether Starin doubts it or not, he has no choice at this time."
"And the story I made up was just a step and an explanation for Starin."
"Starin is a very intelligent man, and he naturally knows what path to take."
Zhang Zongqing stood up, and he confiscated all the cigarettes in the hands of several bigwigs.
"How's it going, guys?"
"Willing to gamble and lose!"
"You're all going to be banned from smoking for a month, can you do that?"
Zhang Zongqing looked at everyone with a smile on his face.
It's hard to imagine that the second son, who has always been serious, would have such an expression now.
Everyone was staring at each other, they looked at Zhang Zongqing, and they all smiled.
Just now they were betting together, but now Zhang Zongqing has suppressed them all, so they can only be willing to gamble and lose.
Of them, however, only General Gallen's brow furrowed.
"Zhang, is the reason why you are trying to reach this agreement with the Great Bear Country because the war between the Great Bear Country and the D Country will soon start?"
"Once the two countries are at war, even if you are extracting natural resources such as gas and oil in those parts of the Great Bear Country."
"In order to get the strong support of Huaguo, and at the same time not to provoke Huaguo and lead to an attack on the east and west fronts."
"Even if Stahlin knew that there were a lot of oil and gas resources being exploited in those places, he would most likely turn a blind eye."
Although he hated Starin, General Gallen, who was Zhang Zongqing's chief of staff, was extremely reluctant to see a large-scale war in his homeland.
Because as long as the war between the Great Bear Country and the D Country is together, it is his compatriots who die.
