Chapter 706: Lao Maozi's Bamboo Pole
Su Jin, who had never underestimated the other party, did not dare to slack off, and said with a smile: "Chairman Motolov, if you have something to say, just tell me, I will listen to you." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Motorov took a deep breath before asking, "Your Excellency, General, since you are not willing to directly lead your army to the Soviet Union to participate in the war, then I want to know when you will be able to send troops to the three eastern provinces to launch an attack on the Japanese Kwantung Army?" How sure are you that you will defeat the Japanese Kwantung Army? How far do you plan to fight this war? ”
Su Jin glanced at Motolov, and secretly praised the other party in his heart for being worthy of being the best professional diplomat, these questions really go straight to the core of the problem, and they are also the most concerned issues of the Soviet government. The first question asked about one's sincerity and whether it was perfunctory to the Soviets, the second question was about the combat effectiveness of the Third Army, and the third question was about one's determination to recover the three northeastern provinces.
After pondering for a while, Su Jin said: "Chairman Motolov, I know the concerns of you and the Soviet government, and here I can clearly tell you that I and the entire Third Army are resolute in their determination to recover the three northeastern provinces. As for the time issue, I think it should be within four to six months, after all, Zhejiang is thousands of kilometers away from the northeast, and it takes a lot of time and energy to supply troops and prepare personnel along the way. But rest assured, since we have sent troops, we will fight the Kwantung Army to the end, and there will never be a situation where we give up halfway. As for the second question you mentioned, it is not a problem at all, and as long as we have a breath of air, we will never give up on this operation. ”
Motorov frowned secretly while listening to Su Jin's explanation, Su Jin's explanation was both reasonable and made him a little disappointed. After listening, he shook his head and said: "General Su, I deeply admire your determination to recover the country, but I am very dissatisfied with the time you sent troops, our Soviet government can't wait that long, you must know that since the beginning of the Battle of Moscow, the number of people killed in our Soviet Red Army every month has reached hundreds of thousands, and such huge casualties are rare in world history." Every day you delay means that we will continue to pay great sacrifices, and the front line will not be able to launch a counteroffensive because there are not enough reinforcements, so I sincerely hope that you will be able to complete the work of sending troops to the northeast within one to two months. ”
"One to two months?" Su Jin shook his head again and again: "Chairman Motorov, you must know that this is related to the transfer of hundreds of thousands of troops, which involves a very large amount of material and personnel transfer, and the most important thing is that I have no way to raise enough materials for more than 200,000 people in such a period of time." To rashly attack the Kwantung Army if there are not enough supplies would be tantamount to sending our army group to hell, and I can't do that! ”
"Alright, alright!"
Seeing Su Jin's repeated shirk, Motorov couldn't hold back any longer, and said directly: "General Su, I think I can still help a little with the problem of materials, such as food, weapons or ammunition, we can ask the troops of the Far Eastern Military Region to transfer them directly to you." ”
"Really?"
As soon as he heard this, Su Jin's eyes suddenly lit up, didn't he just say so much just to wait for this sentence.
"Your Excellency Chairman Motorov, if your government can really provide us with material support, then I think the timetable for our troops can also be advanced. I wonder how you can help us? ”
"It depends on what you need." Motolov thought for a moment: "The reserves of our Far Eastern Military District are also very limited, although they can provide you with some help, but the amount cannot be too much. ”
His subtext is clear, that is, we can give you some support, but it is better not to open your mouth and not to treat our Soviet government as a wronged leader.
Su Jin sneered in his heart, these old hairy people really don't change the stinginess in their bones, they want the horses to run but they don't want the horses to eat grass, how can there be such a good thing in the world, although this time the Northeast is to recover China's own land, but if you don't let you shed some blood, how can you be worthy of the innocent people who have been killed by you for more than half a century.
Although he had already sharpened his knife in his heart, Su Jin's face still showed a little embarrassment and said: "How embarrassing is this, after all, this is our country's own business, and we should solve the material matter ourselves." Rest assured, we'll take care of the problem ourselves, it's just going to take a little time. ”
Looking at the hypocritical expression on Su Jin's face that even a child could see, and listening to the insincere words, Rao is Motorov's city government had cultivated to a high level, but he still had the urge to give the other party a punch. Nima's, how can you be hypocritical to such an extent, obviously there is such an obvious greedy look in your eyes, but you can still say so righteous and awe-inspiring in your mouth, don't you feel tired? Even if you don't feel tired, I'm tired for you!
Motorov almost gritted his teeth and said: "General Su, I hope you understand that sending troops to the Northeast is not only related to the gains and losses of your territory, but also to whether you can contain the more than 600,000 Japanese Kwantung Army entrenched there, so I hope you will pay attention to this matter." ”
"Of course, I've always taken this very seriously." Su Jin also put a smile on his face and said, "Chairman Motolov, it is precisely because I attach great importance to this matter that I will make such a cautious decision. You must know that this is related to the lives of hundreds of thousands of officers and men of our Third Army, and no matter how cautious you are, it is not an exaggeration. Do you want me to take hundreds of thousands of soldiers who can't even eat enough and don't have a few bullets to fight the Japanese himself? That's not heroic, that's a massacre! ”
"You ......"
Looking at Su Jin, who was cautious and bitter one by one, Motorov only felt that the roots of his teeth were a little itchy. He had to take a deep breath and calm down before he said, "Okay, General Su, I want you to tell me the truth, what exactly do you need, you say it, as long as we have it, we will try our best to meet your requirements." ”
Seeing that the fire was almost over, if he hung this old man's appetite again, it was estimated that he would really turn his face, Su Jin slowly stretched out a finger: "First of all, because of the different calibers of our weapons and ammunition, we can't use your country's weapons and ammunition at all, so I hope that your government can allocate us a sum of money for the purchase of weapons and ammunition and soldiers' pensions, which is about 60 million US dollars." In addition, we hope that the Far Eastern Military District will provide us with at least 20 million gallons of oil and no less than 50,000 tons of food after arriving in the Northeast, and I think we will be able to launch an attack on the Japanese Kwantung Army with confidence. ”
After hearing this number, Motorov felt that his brain was rising, and the blood in his whole body was rushing towards his head, and for a while the whole person was a little bad.
"You...... What did you say? ”
Looking at Motolov, whose face suddenly turned red, even Su Jin, who was already holding in his heart that he must knock a big bamboo pole, was not close to him, he was a little afraid, this old man would not be brain congested and fell here, if this is the case, he will not be able to speak clearly.
Worried, he couldn't help but stand up and asked worriedly: "Chairman Motolov, you ...... Are you alright? ”
"Of course I'm fine, before those damn conditions you offered, of course!" Motorov shouted angrily: "Sixty million dollars...... Sixty million dollars and fifty thousand tons of food, you dare to bring it up, do you know what that means? ”
Looking at the chairman of the Soviet Foreign Affairs Committee, who was almost furious, Su Jin was also a little dissatisfied, and he also stood up and shouted: "Mr. President, I want you to know that the materials that need to be prepared to carry out a war of millions of people are extremely amazing. Food, food, ammunition, the pension of the wounded and the resettlement of the common people are all big problems, I don't know how your country is preparing for war, but it is a very important work for us, so we have to do it to the best of our ability, is 60 million dollars a lot? You must know that neither the United States nor the United Kingdom gave us any less money to help them last year, so please don't look surprised! ”
Seeing Su Jin put on such an unflinching appearance, Motorov couldn't help but be a little speechless. In fact, as a career diplomat, his real city government will naturally not be as irritable and irritable as he showed just now, the expression just now is just a disguise for him, and he has indeed deceived some diplomats from small countries with this disguise over the years, but today he met Su Jin with such a hob meat but it was invalid.
Looking at Su Jin, who was not frightened by himself, Motorov immediately realized that the Chinese general in front of him was different from the people he had come into contact with in the past, such a person would not be easily frightened by himself, he just gritted his teeth and shouted: "Okay, respected General Su, then please also offer a realistic price, I hope you don't take the kindness of the Soviet government as a sign of cowardice." ”
Su Jin's head shook like a rattle: "Sixty million is already my conscience price, can't the huge Soviet government even give this money?" ”
"This amount is too much, we really can't open it, the Soviet government will give you a maximum of 10 million US dollars and 10,000 tons of food!" Motolov gritted his teeth and gave a number.
"No, no...... At least 10,000 US dollars and 45,000 tons of food, otherwise it will not be enough to support the cost of hundreds of thousands of troops, you must know that this is a long war, and I cannot let my soldiers go hungry and fight with Japanese soldiers with bayonets! Su Jin's head shook like a rattle.
"At most, 20 million dollars and 20,000 tons of food, no more!"
"No, at least 50 million US dollars and 40,000 tons of food, this is already my bottom line!"
"You greedy vampire, this amount is impossible, you must know that the military expenditure of the Far Eastern Military District is not 50 million US dollars a year, and where can I find so much foreign exchange for you!"
"Then I don't care, if you don't give money, we can only attack the Japanese Kwantung Army according to our schedule!"
One was the chairman of the USSR Foreign Affairs Council. One is that the commander of the general of the group army quarreled like a small trader in the vegetable market, until the last two reached an agreement, and finally decided that the Soviet Union would pay Su Jin 30 million US dollars within a month, and Su Jin promised to lead the Third Army to formally launch an attack outside the Guanwai within two months, and when Su Jin hit Mongolia where Su Jin came into contact with Su Jin, the Soviet Union would officially provide Su Jin with the remaining 20 million US dollars and 40,000 tons of food. As for the 30 million gallons of oil that Su Jin proposed, Motolov did not bargain with Su Jin. For the Soviet Union, as long as it wanted to dig a few more oil wells in the Baku region, it was as much as it wanted. Don't look at Lao Maozi shouting at the United States, Britain and other countries all day long to support their fuel, but in fact, what they really lack is oil refining equipment and high-quality aviation fuel.
After the two discussed, it was already a little dark, and Su Jin, who was satisfied, invited Motorov to start dinner. After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Motolov, who was drunk, raised a glass of white wine and shook his head at Su Jin and said: "General Su, I don't know if you are a good general, but I know that you are definitely an excellent businessman and a cunning politician, we have agreed to the conditions you proposed, and I hope that your troops can also be as effective as your mouth!" ”
In the face of Motorov's question, Su Jin also restrained his smile and said: "This is natural, my troops will never let you down, I don't know if they can completely annihilate the Kwantung Army, what I can guarantee is that I and my troops will definitely be able to contain at least 400,000 Kwantung Army, which can allow your Far Eastern Military Region to draw 80 or even 1 million troops to the European battlefield!" ”
Motolov's eyes showed a gleam: "Well, I remember, this is your promise to us!" ”
"At the same time, it is also a promise between men!" Su Jin's expression was also very solemn.
After the banquet, Motorov went down to rest, but Su Jin, as the host, did not leave, but made a pot of tea by himself and drank it slowly.
The door was pushed open, footsteps sounded, and a person sat down next to him, and soon Zhou Yusheng's voice sounded on the side.
"Sir...... Is it really worth it for us to fight for the Soviets like this? ”
"Why?" Su Jin asked rhetorically: "The three eastern provinces are our Chinese territory, and sooner or later they will be recovered, and we are only a few years ahead of time by sending troops to the northeast." ”
"But then our casualties will be too great." Zhou Yusheng sighed and said: "The Kwantung Army, they are the troops set up by the Japanese themselves to deal with the Soviets, we could have sat and watched the Soviets and the Japanese fight, but now it has been replaced by us in person, when I think of how many good men will die on the battlefield in the future, I feel uncomfortable!" ”
Su Jin was also silent, and the entire restaurant fell silent for a while...... (To be continued.) )
