"Since we can conclude a non-aggression pact, let's start with the first request you just made. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"This treaty can be signed, but the content of the treaty must not be limited to both of us!"
"Can't just be limited to both of us? But this is a non-aggression agreement between us, not only between us, but also a third party? It seems like it's just the two of us. ”
Listening to Stalin say that the content of the treaty cannot be limited to the two countries of the Soviet Union and Germany, Li Ling was a little dizzy, where is this, if there is a third country, maybe there is a reason to say this, but the problem is that there is no third country at all, only the two countries of the Soviet Union and Germany are present!
"What if today we have signed a non-aggression pact, and tomorrow you incite your allies to attack me? Therefore, in this matter, it must not be limited to both sides! We should draw up a complete non-aggression pact in the true sense of the word! ”
"Well, in that case, let's simply agree that first of all, neither of us nor a third party, alone or in conjunction with a third party, shall use force against each other to infringe or attack each other. If the parties have any problems, they must be resolved by peaceful means. What do you think of that? ”
Li Ling gave Stalin what he thought was a more reasonable plan, and Stalin did not seem to have any objection to it, at least in his opinion.
But Ribbentrop, who was sitting on the sidelines, was reluctant, because what seemed like a good plan was actually lacking the most important thing!
"Li, this plan is not appropriate!"
"What's wrong?"
"We should add two more articles, firstly, if one of the contracting parties is at war with a third party, the other party must not support the third party in any way in any situation! Secondly, the parties must not participate in any group of States that directly or indirectly opposes the other State party! ”
After hearing these two points proposed by Ribbentrop, Li Ling suddenly realized that he was still too tender, and he had been entangled in the problems between the two sides, although he had also added allies before, but he did not completely block the road, if it was an ally that was found after the treaty was signed? According to the plan proposed by itself, the Soviet side can completely play tricks! However, if we add the two articles proposed by Ribbentrop, it is equivalent to directly blocking all acts that may lead to conflict between the two sides and endanger the interests of either side!
"Well, I agree with this point of view, but I don't know what Comrade Stalin thinks?"
Stalin had a thoughtful expression, in fact, his heart had already blossomed, and from his own point of view, the Germans were cutting off their own retreat! The current Soviet Union has no allies in Europe at all, on the contrary, Germany has several allies, and they are all very strong!
These two articles proposed by Ribbentrop seem to be exactly the plan to guarantee the absolute security of the Soviet Union!
"Well, these two can be added, no problem!"
Stalin said with a smile.
"Well, in that case, shouldn't we draft a formal treaty that we can sign and then implement it?"
"No way!"
"What, is there any problem?"
"We are a non-aggression pact, we are not allies, so this treaty has a deadline! In addition, what you said earlier about half of Poland's territory and the technology I want, are you going to just pretend to be stupid? ”
"What are you talking about, didn't I get a little excited when I saw that we had so many things in common?"
Li Ling said haha, he had already calculated that Stalin would definitely not sign like this.
"There is a deadline for the treaty, and on this point, we should say that there is no disagreement between us! We said earlier that we would give you half of Poland's territory, and we can guarantee that we will do what we say, so we don't have any disagreements on this issue! But when did I say I'm going to give you the technology? ”
A 'but' made Stalin's heart chuckle, the German gasoline engine technology was too much for him, Stalin knew very well that if his tank could be replaced with a German-made engine, then the combat effectiveness would change dramatically!
Although the USSR also had the technology of gasoline engines, the difference between it and Germany was too great, and this was a chasm! In addition, although at present his own research and development department is developing a new generation of A-32 tanks, but with a diesel engine that is not particularly mature as the power, Stalin is still not very at ease, and now, he has the opportunity to reassure himself, and now Germany has its own needs, then, take this opportunity If you can obtain the technology of German gasoline engines, it will definitely be a huge improvement for the future Soviet Union!
"I must be given the technology for the engine, otherwise what is the use of asking for this so-called small piece of Polish territory? In order to fulfill you, I will risk offending Britain and France, and this will not do the Soviet Union any good! ”
"This is impossible, as you said, we are only signing a non-aggression pact, we are not allies! Do you think we will give the most important thing in our hands to a country that could turn into an enemy at any moment! ”
Li Ling's face was full of justice in refusal, however, his brain was spinning rapidly, he knew very well that in the later stage, due to the problem of gasoline engine power, the power system of Germany's follow-up models of tanks had problems almost all the time, and there was no strong combat effectiveness, but there was no reliable foot for walking, such a tank could definitely not be regarded as a top tank!
"We don't have to be allies, we can be allies, and that's why I'm setting a deadline for this treaty! I need some time to buffer, and if I make a direct alliance now, my people will not agree! Moreover, this may be detrimental to your strategy of attacking Poland! ”
Stalin quickly found a reason that sounded plausible, but this reason obviously could not fool Li Ling, who was always thinking about how to dig as much flesh out of the Soviet Union as possible!
"That's not what you explained about the duration of the treaty, and besides, we're not allies yet, and you can't give me any guarantees! How could I possibly give my most important thing to a country that could bite me back at any moment! ”
"As I said, I just want to give my people a buffer, so I only announce to the public for the time being that it is a non-aggression treaty, and when the treaty deadline arrives, or even wait for the treaty deadline to expire, we can completely re-sign the treaty, and at that time, we will really become allies who stand together as the whole world knows!"
"Really? Well, you're right, but you know that we have world-leading engine technology, and if you get it, your future will be very strong! We can't easily hand over this kind of technology to you! You have to have the right thing to exchange! ”
