The reaction of the Americans was actually expected by Su Jin, and the game of great powers is like this, to put it bluntly, it is to play balance. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The most important thing between the allies now is to defeat the Axis powers led by Germany and Japan, and anything else can make way for this goal, as for the grievances between the Soviet Union and China, it is secondary, and more importantly, the current Soviet Union and the United States are both big countries, and China can only be regarded as a weak country.

Yes, it sounds frustrating. Don't look at the Soviet Union now being beaten by the Germans to death, but in the eyes of the world's powers, the Soviet Union is still a big country, and China is still a weak country, but this is the truth, in the eyes of the Americans, in the world anti-fascist battlefield, the Soviet battlefield is still the main battlefield, and the Chinese battlefield can only be reduced to a secondary position, don't be unconvinced, just think about it, once the Soviet Union is defeated and surrendered, after having the Soviet Union's land area of more than 20 million and infinite resources, The Germans could calmly send millions of elites from the Soviet Union to sweep across Europe, and even if Churchill was not convinced, he could only take the British royal family into exile in the United States.

Su Jin naturally didn't get angry about this, he had already seen it in two lifetimes, this world is so realistic, if you don't have the strength yourself, who will look down on you. He will not be so arrogant that he thinks that after winning one or two battles, he thinks that he can be so awesome that he can single-handedly fight the whole world, so it is what he should do when he sees a good thing, but accepting it when he sees a good thing is not the same as bowing his head and admitting it, and the interests that should be fought for still have to be fought for.

"Colonel Crawford, since the Soviet Government has put forward the sincerity of the peace talks, can I assume that the Soviet Government has agreed to our earlier demands?"

"Uh...... This one is basically like this. Crawford hesitated for a moment and said: "Moscow believes that as long as you are willing to withdraw from the territory of the Soviet Union and return to the pre-war state, they are willing to put the Mongolian issue on hold for the time being, and wait until the two sides discuss it after the war. ”

"Shelving disputes to seek common ground while reserving differences?"

Su Jin never thought that this familiar word would come out of the mouth of a Yankee, could it be that this sentence was invented by Yankees in later generations?

"Colonel, your Chinese level has improved so fast, you can use idioms." Su Jin, who couldn't help laughing, gave a thumbs up, but before Crawford could smile, Su Jin asked again: "But I want to ask, did the Soviet government agree to our previous agreement on not interfering in our country's exercise of sovereignty over the puppet Mongolia and promise not to interfere in the affairs of the puppet Mongolia and China?" ”

"Ahem......"

Hearing Su Jin's question, Crawford's face changed slightly, and he coughed lightly a few times before he said in a slur manner: "Moscow thinks that this issue still needs to be negotiated, and they hope to wait until after the war to find a suitable time for everyone to sit down and discuss it slowly." ”

Su Jin's eyes flashed with anger, and instead of being angry, he smiled and said: "Mr. Colonel, can I think that the Soviet government is not sincere in negotiating with us at all, but wants to delay time, and wait until the Germans are defeated before mobilizing a large army of machine guns and artillery to discuss with us the ownership of Mongolia?" ”

"This ......"

Crawford's face showed a look of helplessness, the Soviet government's delaying tactics could be seen even to the blind, but Stalin put it forward, and took it for granted that his willingness to negotiate peace had given the other party a lot of face, and the other side would definitely agree. Although the Americans are also very aware of the wishful thinking of the Soviets, they also think that the most urgent problem now is to defeat the Germans and the Japanese, so they think that the Chinese government should temporarily agree to come down and wait until the future to solve it.

Sure enough, I saw this man turn his head and say categorically: "Colonel Crawford, please tell the Soviet government that if the Soviet government really wants peace talks, then the Mongolian issue must be made clear, and the two sides must also sign a treaty that the whole world can understand. So my opinion is, when the Soviet government agreed to the conditions that our government put forward last time, when should we talk about an armistice. ”

"As expected."

Crawford sighed secretly in his heart, he has been dealing with Su Jin for almost two years, he knows this temper very well, although he seems to be very talkative on weekdays, but his attitude on some basic principles has always been very resolute, especially in his attitude towards the outside world, he is not like the Chinese government in this era when he sees a foreigner, he is a head shorter, and he is three points weaker if he is reasonable. This is an out-and-out hardliner, and it is his kind of person who starts a war without agreeing with him, and the Soviet government may have miscalculated if it wants to play tricks on people.

"General Su, are you really not only talking to the Soviets?" Knowing that Su Jin had already made a decision, Crawford still wanted to ask one last question.

"Of course I want to talk to the Soviets, but the premise is not to be deceived like a fool." Su Jin's voice was still so unquestionable, "The Mongolian issue is the basis of negotiations, as long as the Mongolian issue cannot be resolved, I and the 700,000 troops of the third group will not negotiate peace with the Slavs even if we fight to the last soldier!" ”

After understanding Su Jin's determination, Crawford left quickly, and after Crawford left, Su Jin picked up the phone, "Chen Zhiming, I'm Su Jin." I order to intensify the bombardment of Ulan-Ude from today, and I want to make the city disappear from the face of the earth! What the...... There are no more targets worth bombing in Ulan-Ude? Then look for other targets, Chita, Kulun (Irkutsk) will do, send long-range bombers, I will bomb until the Soviets agree! ”

In the following days, the actions of the Third Army once again shocked the world, and Su Jin sent B-25, B-29 and other long-range bombers to bomb the Soviet Union in southeastern Siberia. Yes, this kind of bombing can be described as crazy, in less than a week, the air force of the Third Army made at least a thousand sorties, bombed the towns along the Trans-Siberian Railway, dropped at least nearly 10,000 tons of explosives, Chita, Kyakhta, Kulen, Kinsk and even Novosibirsk were bombed, so that the Soviets finally could not stand it.

"What the hell is this madman trying to do, he is bombing the Soviet Union like this, and this week alone we have been killed by tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians under their bombs, is he trying to provoke a war between the two countries?" In Roosevelt's office in the White House, Gromyko, the Soviet diplomatic minister to the United States, who had just been received by Roosevelt, shouted in anger despite the demeanor of a diplomat.

Today, Roosevelt was not the only one in his office, but also his senior aide Hawkins and Vice President Truman, who said coldly: "Ambassador Gromyko, please don't forget that for the sake of peace between China and the Soviet Union, our US government has done its best, and we have neither the ability nor the right to interfere in the movement and operation of the Chinese army." As for the matter between you and the Third Army of China, it is your own problem, and it has nothing to do with us, so you have no right to question us, do you understand? ”

"No rights?" Gromyko was almost mad, if it weren't for the reason of a career diplomat restraining him, he would almost have rushed over to reason with Truman, and after finally suppressing the anger in his heart, Gromyko took out a piece of swarthy shrapnel the size of a palm from his pocket and slapped it on the coffee table with a clatter, and said coldly: "Mr. Vice President, please don't forget." This week, the Chinese have dropped no less than 10,000 tons of bombs in Siberia, and no less than 100,000 soldiers and civilians have died at the hands of the Chinese in this conflict. And these bombs that killed our Soviet soldiers and civilians were made by the Americans, should you dare to say that these have nothing to do with you? ”

Truman curiously picked up the shrapnel on the coffee table and swept his eyes, only to see that the word "USA" engraved in the center of the shrapnel was clearly visible.

Seeing this, Truman shrugged his shoulders helplessly, casually put the shrapnel back on the coffee table and said, "Mr. Ambassador, so what? You can't blame us on the U.S. government just because the bomb was produced by the United States, right? ”

Seeing Truman's indifferent appearance, Gromyko only felt that he was going crazy, and he almost roared angrily: "This cannot be blamed on your heads, but it is precisely because you have provided so many weapons and ammunition to the Chinese people that they have caused them to use the ammunition you provide to kill us Soviet soldiers and civilians. Or shouldn't we stop supplying weapons and ammunition to Huaxia? ”

Hearing Gromyko's more and more outrageous words, Roosevelt on the side spoke, "Ambassador Gromyko, I think you have made a mistake. Even if those ammunition are provided by our U.S. government, it does not mean that we are responsible for this matter, and it is impossible for us to stop the supply of weapons to Huaxia for this reason, you must know that Huaxia is now at war with more than a million Japanese troops, if the Chinese government does not contain these Japanese, what will happen to you, don't you know?

Also, if I remember correctly, so far we have supplied the Soviet Union with more than 6,000 aircraft, 10,000 tanks, 300,000 vehicles, 80,000 tons of explosives, and all kinds of ships, steel, oil, anti-aircraft artillery, and many other materials. If we stop supplying supplies to China, does that also mean that we can stop supplying supplies to the USSR? ”

Gromyko was speechless for a while, today's Asian battlefield is still mainly supported by the Chinese, the Allies cannot bear the consequences of the defeat of the Soviet Union, can they bear the consequences of the defeat of the Chinese army? Once the Chinese are defeated, I am afraid that the entire Allied battlefield will be shaken, and this consequence is not something that the Soviet government can bear.

Seeing that Gromyko did not speak, Roosevelt's face gradually turned cold, "Ambassador Gromyko, if I remember correctly, we proposed to the Soviet government to mediate the conflict between your country and the Soviet Union last month, but your government categorically refused, and it was not until your Far Eastern Front suffered defeat at the hands of the Chinese Third Army that we took the initiative to propose mediation to our country. If your country had accepted the proposal of the Chinese government, it would have been fine, but your country would have turned a deaf ear to the proposal of the Chinese government and had only unilaterally demanded that the Chinese troops withdraw from the territory of the Soviet Union. Now you are blaming the US government for the defeat of the war, how ridiculous is this, if you want to talk about aid, the US government has provided dozens of times more aid to the Soviet Union than to China, how can you say that? ”

As soon as Roosevelt's words came out, Gromyko, a deputy member of the People's Commissariat for Foreign Affairs, was speechless, and only after a long time did he hold back a sentence: "Mr. President, the weapons that your country has provided to us are not free gifts, but we will have to repay them in the future." ”

"The same is true of Huaxia!" Roosevelt smiled dumbly, stretched his waist, and then leaned back in a comfortable position in his wheelchair, "Mr. Ambassador, I think it is precisely because of your country's refusal to return Mongolia to China that this war happened. If your country wants to put an end to that conflict, it should show good faith, otherwise the matter will never be resolved. ”

"Well, I'll report this to Moscow, but it will take some time." Gromyko nodded helplessly, and stood up to take his leave.

Before he could walk out of his office, Roosevelt's leisurely voice rang out behind him, "Ambassador Gromyko, I forgot to tell you something. The U.S. government originally planned to invite British Prime Minister Mr. Winston Churchill and Free French leaders General de Gaulle and General Giraud to a conference in Casablanca, Morocco, North Africa, in January next year to discuss the situation of the world anti-fascist war of resistance. ”

Gromyko's body paused, and then his voice, almost from between his teeth, rang out: "Of course, I will relay your words to Comrade Stalin, goodbye!" ”

Looking at the figure of Gromyko leaving, Truman smiled and said: "Mr. President, I bet that the one in Moscow will be mad with anger when he hears the news, and I don't think he will agree to participate in this meeting." ”

Roosevelt smiled faintly: "No, although Stalin is very stubborn, he will never fall in the same place, you look at it, he will definitely go, I am convinced of this." ”
