The choice of D-Day as the code name for the operation was deliberate by Hoffman, who remembered that this would be the moment in history when the Allies landed in Normandy. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoNow Britain and the United States, not to mention landing, even the coastline of Western Europe has to go around. It is also a bad thing for him to imagine East and West Moscow and to build the Moscow Wall -- but unfortunately no one in this world understands it, and he can only amuse himself.

The only thing he didn't know was that Churchill's plan for the operation was codenamed D-Day, and the two sides were very close in time and similar in connotation -- the two D-Day plans had collided.

On 13 June, Stalin, having received German agreement to preserve a part of the Bolshevik-controlled zone in East Moscow, was apparently overjoyed, and not only happily approved the exchange of other relevant interests, but also agreed to a complete cease-fire. After a few days of retreat, Stalingrad's troops and citizens have retreated more than 300,000 to Astrakhan, and part of the population and troops have been transferred to the Ural Mountains in the controlled areas of the northern front, and everything is in order.

Two days later, Germany officially announced the imminent conclusion of a peace agreement with the Soviet Union and announced the recognition of the independence of the Russian National Socialist Republic (Western Russia) and the establishment of diplomatic relations. Moscow was the capital of the Soviet Union, but the legal political center of Western Russia was in St. Petersburg.

On the same day, on behalf of the Bolshevik Party, Stalin also issued a "Letter to the Whole Party and the People of All Peoples", acknowledging that the Great Patriotic War had suffered a major setback, but that "the heroic struggle of all the officers and men of the Red Army and the struggle of the people of the whole country" had thwarted "the ambition of the fascist bandits to destroy the Party and the communist system", and achieved peace with "no land, no indemnity, no other humiliating clauses attached" (300 million tons of oil was not money), and recognized that the union republics could declare independence on the basis of the principle of national self-determination, Recognized the independence of Western Russia, "explored the socialist system" and stated that it would form a confederation with it, emphasizing that it was the Bolshevik regime, opposite the Menshevik regime, and Comrade Stalin was also the first chairman of the Soviet Union.

Vlasov proposed that Stalin be the chairman of the Soviet Union, and he readily agreed to the demand that East Moscow be under the control of the other side. On the one hand, Stalin was the leader of a great power after all, and Vlasov was only a lieutenant general back then, and he was far inferior in terms of status, reputation, and seniority; On the other hand, he did not want to fight for fame, he was more pragmatic, and after making these superficial concessions, he demanded substantial concessions from East Russia -- tens of millions of people remained in place instead of forcibly relocated.

Before World War II, the population of the Soviet Union, including the three Baltic states, totaled nearly 180 million, and with the independence of the republics and the heavy loss of personnel in the war, part of the population of Russia fell to less than 110 million, and if the border was simply demarcated by the Urals, the population of part of Eastern Russia was less than 30 million.

Although 30 million is not a small number in Europe, it is a small number for the volume of East Russia. In the era of great powers, population is the foundation and magic weapon, and the Bolshevik Party intends to increase the size of the population and to this end by taking various measures: first, to bring the present Red Army back to East Russia, which is the best of the age group and has the experience of military service, and is urgently needed in the future; The second is the relocation of some of the population in the areas currently under its control, such as Moscow, Stalingrad, Astrakhan and other cities with a combined population of nearly 15 million, and the composition is relatively reliable working class, and initially wanted to forcibly relocate all of these populations; Third, it is trying to win the return of captured officers and soldiers to Germany -- in addition to those who have joined the Russian Liberation Army, Germany still has nearly 2 million prisoners in its hands.

The Bolshevik Party hoped to maintain the population at more than 45 million by various measures. Although the population of Western Russia is larger, Western Russia has been broken everywhere, and the Far East and the Urals of Eastern Russia are still relatively complete, and the gap between 45 million vs more than 60 million is not too big.

Vlasov could not interfere with the removal of the Red Army, but he strongly opposed the relocation of the population, believing that Stalin was murdering the Russian people. In fact, Germany also expressed its opposition to the fact that East Russia did not produce enough food and that these people would inevitably face a great famine if they migrated in the past. As for the prisoners, Hoffman adhered to the principle of voluntary repatriation - those who were willing to defect to Vlasov to Western Russia, and those who were willing to defect to Stalin to Eastern Russia. Because according to the survey, most people are still willing to stay in Western Russia.

After repeated negotiations and concessions on other fronts, the East Russians also made concessions and put forward the principle of voluntary migration: whoever was willing to go with Stalin was to be taken with them; All those who belong to party members and grassroots cadres will be moved. At the same time, party organizations at all levels have also gone down to the grassroots level to mobilize them to follow the party Central Committee and continue to build socialism in the east.

As a result, with the exception of Moscow and Stalingrad, where the proportion of the working class voluntarily migrated, the rural population was basically immovable -- everyone knew that there were no collective farms in Western Russia, and Führer Vlasov had ordered that the fields should be divided among households, and no one was willing to leave.

Therefore, the final population distribution is expected to be more than 70 million in Western Russia and 35 million in Eastern Russia. The food shortage of more than 70 million people in western Russia has been arranged and transferred from Ukraine in the form of IOUs -- this year is the second year since the division of land in Ukraine, and not only will grain output be greatly increased, but other production will also be fully restored, and there will be more spare capacity for grain supply. With the completion of the Mediterranean oil pipeline and the end of the large-scale war on the eastern route, the energy supply to Western Europe has also begun to increase, at least the taxi gasoline in the capitals of Western Europe can be guaranteed.

With the gradual truce on the Eastern Front, Speer adjusted the proportion of electricity consumption and prepared to dispatch a large amount of army equipment to the super bomb and naval projects.

With the improvement of the food supply in Eastern Europe and the influx of agricultural products and other products from the Americas, not only the domestic grain in Germany has become more and more abundant, but even the material security of the Western European countries has also become abundant. Countries are stepping up to heal the wounds of war, with almost no signs of war damage in Germany and France (mainly caused by British and American air raids), and Belgium and the Netherlands recovering for the most part.

With a population of 35 million (including more than 5 million troops) in East Russia, Hoffmann did not know how Stalin could tide over the difficulties, but this was no longer a problem for the German Führer to consider.

Naturally, Stalin could not sit still, and he also had a response to the food problem:

One of the countermeasures is to disband the female soldiers, except for some technical arms who still retain female soldiers, the vast majority of the female soldiers in the rear are all disbanded, and the female soldiers in the confrontation with the German army on the front line will be disbanded in the next stage, which will reduce more than 600,000 troops at once, and all these units will be transferred to the production sequence;

The second countermeasure is to have some troops led by Politburo members Andreyev and Tyulenev to carry out military cantonment in the Baikal region, on the one hand, to seize the use of summer reclamation, and on the other hand, to strengthen the Baikal fishing industry. Most of the troops in Juntun are third-line or even fourth-line troops, most of them are uncles in their 40s, and many of them are even nearly 60 years old.

The third countermeasure is to implement the new economic policy, which was officially recognized in order to tide over the difficulties in the vicinity of the Ural industrial zone and to carry out the practice of contracting production to households, and the protection of individual "planting rights" for 20 years has not wavered, and some individuals with outstanding reclamation have also been commended;

The fourth countermeasure was to send Budyonny to lead a machine-gun grain collection team to Mongolia to search for cattle, sheep, horses, and other livestock, and at the same time to contact the Chinese communists to see if they could exchange industrial machinery and some equipment for grain, even if they had to pay tolls to Japan.

In fact, through the passage of Xinjiang, Gansu, and Hexi Corridors, the communication between the CCP and the CPSU can be opened, but the transportation is inconvenient, and the transportation of bulk materials is far from being transported to Manchuria and then transferred by Japan by railway, so the toll is paid.

But Stalin never imagined that now the Japanese are not only staring at tolls, they will also come to grab the island!

In the early morning of June 16, Tsunoda and Nishimura, the pioneers of the raid, broke into North Sakhalin Island with their fleet and army forces, landed and seized the island as quickly as possible, and by the time Moscow received the exact news and responded, the Japanese army had basically completed the landing and controlled the situation.

Stalin, who was furious, immediately attracted the Japanese ambassador to the Soviet Union, and the other party was still stunned, and hurriedly said: "Wait for me to verify and reply to you, please give me 2 hours!" ”

After another two hours, the situation was clearly verified, and North Sakhalin was also firmly occupied by the Japanese, and the Red Army stationed on the island did not even have time to destroy the oil field facilities.

"It is so, Mr. Stalin, that we did carry out a preventive landing on the island, but this was not a war against your country. On the contrary, we have to take measures to prevent the island from being occupied by the American side as a base against us......"

This bandit logic, Stalin did not want to listen to it.

However, the Japanese ambassador's subsequent words made people feel a little stunned: "We have no intention of annexing the island, we only ask for a lease for 99 years, and in view of the current food shortage in your country, we agree to give 100,000 tons of grain a year as a lease fee." ”

"Joke, 100,000 tons of grain? The oil alone is worth 1 million tons a year. ”

"We can only give so much, I'm sorry, but we really have no war intentions."

After the departure of the Japanese ambassador, the Supreme High Command held a meeting, and everyone was filled with righteous indignation, and some even advocated the use of heavy bombers to blow up the oil facilities on the island. However, Kuznetsov believed: "At most, Japan will not be able to get oil, and we will not be able to get either, the island is isolated overseas, and the Pacific Fleet is not an opponent of the Japanese fleet, so I am afraid that a counteroffensive will not work." ”

"And with airborne?"

Kuznetsov shook his head and said: "Airborne can't stop the naval guns." ”

Stalin grimaced: "What do you mean? ”

"Since it is a fait accompli, let's lease the island to Japan and ask for 300,000 tons of grain to be distributed to us every year." Kuznetsov gritted his teeth and said, "Let's recuperate and settle accounts with the Japanese in the future." ”

After some arduous negotiations, the two sides finally sold 200,000 tons of grain, and Japan reduced the proportion of future tolls on the Soviet side to 33%.

When the news came out, Tokyo was jubilant, and the Kwantung Army was also very satisfied with this, and suppressed the idea of going north, but the red deer immediately put forward a second wish - asking the base camp to ask the Germans to buy railway guns to enrich the border defense line, because after settling accounts, they found that it was cheaper to buy than to build their own!
