Finland is the younger brother of Britain and France, Germany has already declared war with Britain and France, and the relationship between the Soviet Union and Germany has been so clear, at this time, it is basically only Britain and France declaring war with the Soviet Union.

However, at this time, the British and French governments still did not want to give themselves the name of taking the initiative to provoke a war, so they would not have made the decision to declare war on the Soviet Union at all.

But that doesn't mean they won't force the Soviet Union to declare war.

Although the Soviet-Finnish war was over, France demanded on March 21 that the Soviet Union recall its ambassador to France, and at the same time demanded that the Soviet Union's position on the war between Britain and France and Germany be stated in the shortest possible time.

When France gave the ball to the Soviet Union, almost the eyes of the world were focused on it, you must know that at the beginning of the month, Soviet Foreign Commissar Molotov had just said that the Soviet Union cherished the friendship from Germany, and Germany even relied on its own energy to set up obstacles when Britain wanted to support Finland, and finally caused the British support plan to be aborted.

The whole world is waiting for the world's largest country to make a statement, and for Molotov or Stalin to come out and declare war on Britain and France.

However, a day later, Molotov uttered something that left everyone dumbfounded: the USSR would remain neutral in this war!

The statement made by the Soviet Union surprised the whole world, France and Britain did not expect that the Soviet Union would retreat at this time, and this attitude of the Soviet Union made the hearts of Britain and France at least half relaxed, because this at least showed that the Soviet Union would never directly send troops against Britain and France.

And how can there be no such time as the United States to make a statement?

Although the United States has never been involved in the war, this country has already invisibly influenced the pattern of the world.

On March 23, US President Franklin D. Roosevelt answered a series of questions about the current international situation in front of reporters in his White House office.

First of all, it has made clear the US position on the Asian direction, and the United States will absolutely not recognize the newly established 'central government' behind Japan's government with Wang Jingwei as the head of government on Chinese soil.

Then there was the question of its position in Europe, and the United States once again reaffirmed its neutral position, but the United States will still maintain an open attitude on the issue of arms sales, and the United States will not refuse any country, as long as its purpose is not to threaten US national security, as long as the offer is sufficient.

When a reporter asked whether the United States would continue to maintain neutrality if Britain and France went to war with Germany in an all-out war, Roosevelt's attitude finally changed slightly.

Sitting in a wheelchair and lighting a cigar, Roosevelt said meaningfully: "The United States will not go to war lightly, as long as what is happening in this world does not threaten the national security of the United States." ”

When the reporter asked again what kind of situation could be considered a threat to US national security, Roosevelt just smiled and did not answer.

Such an attitude of the United States made Britain, France, and Germany see its serious uncertainty, but because they did not know the potential relationship between the United States and Germany, Britain and France were now full of ideas to win over the United States.

Britain even took out the so-called history to illustrate the inseparable relationship between the two countries, however, the British did not know that in the eyes of Roosevelt, the real American father was George? Washington, Britain is just a lonely empire that once suppressed the development of the United States, nothing more!

However, due to the strange statement of Soviet Foreign Commissar Molotov, Heydrich's heart was full of vigilance, why did the Soviet Union choose neutrality at this time?

Germany made it so clear that it supported the Soviet Union in the just-concluded Soviet-Finnish Winter War, and the Soviet Union readily accepted it, except for the fact that the two sides did not have an explicit alliance, and the others had nothing to do with the military alliance, but why did the Soviet Union say that it wanted to remain neutral at this time?

In fact, Molotov himself was inclined not to remain neutral, because if the Soviet Union remained neutral at this time, it would be tantamount to invisibly seriously losing the country's credibility, and it would make Germany, an ally, suspicious of the Soviet Union.

But Stalin directly set the tone for this matter, the USSR must remain neutral!

Of course, Stalin did not give reasons, and the reasons seem to be reasonable.

The war between the Soviet Union and Finland had just ended, and Finland, a weak and small country, originally thought that it could be easily taken, but it did not expect that it would take three and a half months and pay the price of nearly 700,000 casualties.

This has obviously proved that there is a serious shortage of combat effectiveness of the Soviet army, and if at this time it rashly declares war on Britain and France and goes to war directly with such an old military empire, then it will be irresponsible to the entire Soviet people and will put the Soviet Union in a situation of national ruin.

Rather than losing a little bit of the country's credibility, the most fundamental thing is to preserve the country's existence.

Stalin said this on his lips, but he did not think about it at all in his heart, because he had always had the intention of annexing Germany, and thus the whole of Europe!

Now Britain, France and Germany have not yet started a full-scale war, and when these two major forces go to war in an all-out way, when the two sides fight to the death, it is the time for the Soviet Union to reap the benefits of the fisherman!

"Lee, what should I do? If we go to war against France next, it will be tantamount to a full-scale war with Britain and France, and the Russians will not be able to help us contain Britain, and the next war will not be easy to fight! ”

Hurriedly found Li Ling, Heydrich's face was written with melancholy.

"What are you afraid of, it's a big deal to give the Soviets a little sweetness first, and then we will do our best, and then we will start preparing to attack the Soviet Union!"

Compared with Heydrich's anxiety, Li Ling was very calm.

"Do you want to fight the Soviet Union? We must now first cross over to England and France! ”

"What? Are you afraid of England and France? You just put your heart in your belly, France is not to be afraid, England may be a little difficult, but not too difficult. ”

Li Ling didn't dare to say too much, after all, Germany did not take Britain in history, and when Germany attacked Britain, everything was unknown.

However, there is one thing that Li Ling can fully confirm, that is, Stalin actually had the idea of taking action against Germany for a long time, and he has always aimed at it.

If Germany had not taken the lead in June 1941, then when the Soviet Union was ready, it would not have been Germany attacking the Soviet Union, but the Soviet Union in turn attacking Germany!
