Chapter 7: The Turning Point (7)

"Comrade Stalin's health is okay?"

Hearing Ribbentrop's question, Molotov paused for a moment, he thought that the other party should show off without smiling first, but he didn't expect to ask this sentence, after thinking about it carefully, he said slowly: "It's okay." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Ribbentrop nodded with relief, and said with a sincere face: "I am relieved to hear you say this, the Führer remembers Comrade Stalin very much, and sincerely wishes him eternal health." ”

Hearing what the other party said, Molotov suddenly felt that the style of painting was wrong, he had seen the yin and yang of the negotiation opponent, he had seen it arrogantly, he had seen it without humility or arrogance, and he had seen it with enthusiasm, but Ribbentrop's style of shouting and asking for warmth made him feel that the style of painting was wrong -- this was a negotiation between the two hostile sides, and if it was when the "Soviet-German non-aggression" treaty was signed, Ribbentrop said this sentence and he still felt that it was taken for granted, and now he is full of surprise.

The other party ignored his surprise and said to himself: "Time flies so fast, it will be almost June 21 in the blink of an eye, and in a few days it will be the third anniversary of the Soviet-German war, hey...... How I wish none of this had ever happened. ”

"......Stop," Molotov said, looking up at the champagne dealer, "...... you today." Not sick, right? ”

"No, ......no," said Ribbentrop, smiling with a blushing face, "I have just won a great victory in Iceland, and my negotiations with the British have come to an end for the time being, and then I have come to Sofia without stopping." ”

"Winston Churchill is going to surrender?"

"No...... No...... This fat man is very stubborn, and he is willing to surrender, but he is only one man, and the British Empire does not have the surname Churchill......" Ribbentrop said nonchalantly, "I talked to the others, and as for who it is, you all know, Comrade Hess has also returned." ”

Molotov was shocked to hear the news of Hess's return, which was a major signal.

He asked, "How's the talk?" ”

"It's not bad, constructive progress has been made, and if it weren't for Churchill's obstruction, maybe the text would have been released by now." Ribbentrop shook his head proudly, "Churchill toasted and did not eat and drink, the armistice should have been truce, and the conditions of the British were a little better, he desperately hugged the thighs of the Americans, thinking that this group of nouveau riche in the New World would pity him, but the conditions became worse and worse." If you take Iceland, the British will be completely locked in the throat, and when Ireland is taken, Great Britain will have a pistol on the door of their heads......"

"Truce? ......" Molotov muttered.

"Yes, the armistice, we did not ask the British to surrender, and to the Soviets, we also advocated an armistice, how could Comrade Stalin see the word surrender?" Ribbentropi asked with a smile, "You have read the core clauses, but I don't know how to think about it?" ”

As soon as he heard him talk about this, Molotov's face turned gloomy, and he said in a terrible voice: "The conditions in your country are too harsh for us to accept, and this is to force the Bolshevik Party and the Red Army to fight to the end. ”

"That's right...... Do you still want to fight? Ribbentrop rolled his eyes and glanced at Molotov.

"We desire peace, but we are not afraid of war! All the commanders and fighters of the Red Army had the courage to sacrifice to the end. ”

Unexpectedly, Ribbentrop actually nodded and echoed: "I have always admired the courage of your army, and the Führer also spoke highly of it, especially Zhukov, Vasilevsky, Chernyachovsky and other generals are very good, oh, Rokossovsky, a Pole, is also not bad, much better than Timoshenko and Voroshilov, who can only pat on the back, and much better than Budyonny, who only knows cavalry." Do you want to stop playing for a few months? Anyway, it's still very early before winter, and our army has plenty of time to attack, so I'll talk to the British first and then talk to you slowly? ”

"You!" Molotov was angry, of course he was not annoyed by the other party's attempt to sow discord in his words, this is a common thing, not to mention that the other party was not wrong, as long as he knew a little about military affairs, he could distinguish between superior and inferior. He was angry at the other party's nonchalant look - is there any sincerity in peace talks?

"To tell you the truth, the military is dissatisfied with the Führer's advocacy of an armistice, and many people want to be promoted to major general when they become colonels, and want to be promoted to marshal when they become generals. The senior rank that is about to arrive will fly......" Ribbentrop earnestly "explained" while gesturing with his hand to "fly", "Many people advocate launching the Ural campaign at the turn of summer and autumn, and then wait for the complete settlement of the British problem before pressing the military force of the Western Front, we still have 2 million troops, 10,000 aircraft, and rockets, jets and other new weapons emerging in Western Europe, which are enough to press the front to Vladivostok. ”

Hearing this, Molotov almost wanted to get up and slap Ribbentrop in the face a few times, but he knew he couldn't—he had to endure it.

He fought back with anger: "We still have 10 million troops, if you want to fight, we will resolutely accompany you to the end, and you will die a lot." ”

Ribbentrop said with a smirk: "No, we have allies!" It doesn't take many German lads to die...... Have you seen the SS American division, the combat effectiveness is not bad, right? We have just captured tens of thousands of American troops in Iceland, and in a few months we will have two SS divisions, and there are more than 100,000 American troops in Britain, and when the time comes, we will be able to produce 3-4 divisions, and then we will be able to form the SS Army Group America; Now the Irish have made up a division, and if the Führer wishes, there is no problem in forming an Irish army group; Then there were the French Army, the Belgian Army, the Dutch SS, the Spanish Lancers, the Portuguese SS, oh, and certainly the British SS, after all, there was no more active country against the Bolsheviks than the British Empire, and these forces could produce at least 800,000 troops. ”

Molotov's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Ribbentrop also said to himself: "I almost forgot that our allies in the East still have a large number of troops in training: the Baltic Volunteer Army, the Ukrainian Defense Forces, the Belarusian Defense Forces, the Caucasus Army, and of course, General Vlasov's Russian Liberation Army, if it is not enough, we still have 2 million Red Army prisoners in the Eastern Governorate, as long as they are reformed and pulled up again, they will be good soldiers, and they can at least 2 million troops in total!" As for arms, don't worry, Germany, Italy, France, Britain, Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain, and Portugal all have ample arms industries, and the arms left by the Americans in Britain alone are enough to arm 1.5 million people, and it is more than enough to arm an army of 5 million again. Now we have oil from the Middle East, minerals from North Africa, food and agricultural products from South America, and all kinds of material resources continue to supply us......"

Molotov's face grew longer and longer, and he said in a sullen voice: "In that case, why don't you do it?" ”

"Because we want to fight the United States!" Ribbentrop spread his hands and said innocently, "The United States is the general backstage of the world's Jews, the gathering place behind the scenes of the big capitalists and big careerists, and has repeatedly rejected our sincerity for peace...... The Führer was going to give them a little color to look at. We now build ships all over Europe - you should know that we now have the best navy in the world, and there are more warships on the slipway than the Americans (bragging, not drafting); Our aircraft performance is the best, and we are the only ones in the world who use jets (continue to blow); As for submarines, not to mention, the German Seawolf is more powerful (barely reliable) than all the submarines of other countries in the world combined...... Now that we have allied with the La Plata bloc, we have won the best troops in Brazil, and the whole of South America is crumbling; In the Pacific, there are still 5 million Japanese soldiers eyeing each other; If the Americans do not wake up, we will completely defeat and crush them. ”

"You brag!"

"Bragging?" Ribbentrop jumped to his feet as if he had been wronged, "Why should I brag? We all agreed with other countries to dismember the United States after the war - the 13 eastern states were returned to the British; The original Louisiana to the French; Japan can get California and Hawaii in the west; The Mexicans can recover territories, including Texas, etc., the Dutch, Belgians, Portuguese, and Spaniards can get a piece of the pie, and if Comrade Stalin is willing to send the Red Army into battle, Alaska can give it back to you! ”

Molotov listened dumbfounded as he bragged, and when he thought about it, it seemed to make a little sense.

Ribbentrop changed his words: "Of course, this is all based on your willingness to accept the terms of the armistice, and if you do not, then the Führer will have to hold his nose and make an armistice with the Americans and then concentrate on you -- just as the Americans want to concentrate on the Japanese." In the final analysis, we do not have a deep hatred with the United States, we are just dissatisfied with some of the practices of the United States! In terms of hatred, Mexicans, Japanese, South Americans are much bigger than us! ”

"The Soviets and you have no deep hatred!"

"That's why the Führer is willing to calm down and have a good talk with Comrade Stalin, because both countries are socialists and have different views on lines, doctrines, and theories, but they should not seek common ground while reserving differences."

Molotov gritted his teeth and said: "You have been fighting for 3 years, causing tens of millions of deaths and injuries to our soldiers and civilians, just to seek common ground while reserving differences?" ”

"Not for the sake of common ground or what?" Ribbentrop shrugged his shoulders, "Did we occupy the land of the Soviets?" Did we enslave the Soviet people? No! We have helped a large number of countries that want to be independent to realize their dreams; helping land-hungry farmers gain access to land; Helping people who wish to live under a normal system gain freedom and order; We gave them what you can't give - otherwise there would be no hanging portraits of the heads of the Ukrainian people in every house! But you took advantage of the unpreparedness of others to swallow Poland first, then the Baltic Sea, and you still want to swallow Finland......"

"Alright, alright." Molotov was dizzy by him, "Let's not talk about such uselessness, let's talk about the terms in detail." ”

Ribbentrop laughed wildly in his heart: the Führer's statement that he wanted to give Molotov a good international politics class has finally been done, and I am still very capable......
