Ribbentrop was Germany's foreign minister, but he was not a general, a marshal, let alone a minister of war, so he knew almost nothing about military matters, and it was for this reason that Li Ling finally followed the "Soviet-German Non-Aggression Pact" completely according to his own ideas!

There are many places, Ribbentrop feels incredible, but Li Ling's opinions seem to be reasonable, as for the final success of the whole treaty, in Ribbentrop's view, it may be historic, originally, he did not expect that this time he came to Moscow, he would sign such a treaty!

In the evening of the same day, the governments of Germany and the Soviet Union officially announced that the two sides had signed the "Soviet-German Non-Aggression Pact," which would immediately take effect and the contents of the treaty would be made public. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"1. The Contracting Parties undertake not to use force, aggression or aggression against each other, either alone or in association with other States.

2. In the event of a war between one of the Contracting Parties and a third State, the other High Contracting Party shall not give any support to the third State.

3. The Contracting Parties shall in no way participate in any group of States which, directly or indirectly, opposes another State Party.

4. The Parties shall settle all disputes between the High Contracting Parties by peaceful means.

5. The treaty is valid for 10 years. The Treaty shall enter into force immediately on the date of its signature. ”

This is a non-aggression pact that does not seem to be too much of a problem, and when Ribbentrop proposed to add words like Soviet-German friendship to the treaty, Stalin once again rejected Ribbentrop, there are some things, it is enough to know them!

In addition to what was announced to the public, the Soviet Union and Germany also signed a series of secret clauses, but these clauses were somewhat involved, and whether it was due to possible domestic pressure or the influence of the international community, these clauses could not be made public.

And these secret terms came from Li Ling's unremitting efforts and spittle negotiations. Of course, many of these terms are things that Ribbentrop seems to be trying to oppose!

The first is the division of spheres of influence between the two sides!

Originally, Ribbentrop's idea was that as long as the Soviet Union did not participate in the war, it would already be the greatest achievement, but when Li Ling proposed the division of spheres of influence, he saw another kind of dawn, but the division of spheres of influence made Ribbentrop somewhat opposed!

In the event of territorial and political changes in the regions belonging to the Baltic states (Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania), the northern borders of Lithuania became the limits of the spheres of influence of Germany and the Soviet Union. In this regard, the parties recognize the interests of Lithuania in the Vilno region.

Neither Ribbentrop nor Stalin nor Li Ling had any opinion on the division of the Baltic states, because none of these were actually immediate issues, and the question of distribution made on this point itself was not too seriously tilted towards one side or the other, so a consensus was basically reached very quickly.

The second is the first and most important issue to be solved, and that is the question of the demarcation of the borders of Poland!

Stalin also watched Poland for a long time, but he was not ready to start a war, and the German side deliberately sacrificed its own interests in Poland in order to prevent the Soviet Union from intervening, so the final demarcation of the sphere of influence was quickly decided, and the Soviet Union and Germany would roughly be divided by the Narev River, the Vistula River and the San River. However, as for whether or not to safeguard the integrity of Poland and the independence of this country, the two sides have not reached a conclusion for the time being, and they will have to make a decision in light of the international social situation after taking Poland.

Now there are only two remaining questions, one about the sphere of influence in South-Eastern Europe, and the other about the German technology that Stalin wanted!

However, in this case, it is far from being as simple as imagined!

Stalin's most important concerns were in Romania and Bessarabia, however, Romania was equally important for Germany, which was severely short of oil, and Romania, which was the second largest oil producer in Europe, was very prominent!

On this issue, in fact, it should not have been so entangled, because although Romania is extremely important, the concerns of both sides are not the same at all, Germany wants oil, and the Soviet Union wants politics!

But Li Ling didn't give an inch on this issue, because he needed more things as a bargaining chip for his last request!

Just when the two sides were still arguing, Li Ling suddenly changed the conversation, "On the issue of Romania, if you don't let it, then about engine technology, let's not talk about it anymore." ”

Stalin's greatest fear was to mix these two things together, and if he took out either thing alone, he would be able to talk about it, but if the two things were mixed up, it would be even more difficult to get the Germans to agree!

Romania may be able to take it on its own, but if you want engine technology, it is almost impossible!

Everyone knows that there can be no eternal peace between the two sides, and the technology of tank engines is a major issue that will directly affect the balance of power between the two sides, and if this technology is ceded to the Soviet Union, it will be no different from a traitor to Germany!

"The engine must be given to me, otherwise there is no need for us to continue talking!"

"You're getting a little greedy! And you should know exactly what engine technology represents! There's no way I'm going to give the sharpest knife to anyone! Unless, he can come up with something of equal value in exchange! ”

......

The transfer of engine technology to the Soviet Union may not be acceptable in the eyes of the Germans, but Li Ling is not a German, and his vision is not just on this moment! Therefore, he dared to take out German engine technology in exchange!

The construction of gasoline engines was difficult, and the production of gasoline in the USSR was relatively difficult due to industrial backwardness, and as for the indispensable spark plugs for gasoline engines, it was a major problem for the USSR!

If the technology of gasoline engines were handed over to the Soviets, then the Soviets would face two choices, either they would seriously slow down their armament and spend manpower and material resources to study gasoline engines, and after the war, the speed of their riots would also be seriously reduced! Or, while the Soviets continued to use diesel engine technology, they developed and manufactured gasoline engines according to German technology, then Soviet diesel engine technology was bound to slow down its development!

But for Germany, Li Ling can ask for more things that are more suitable for Germany's future development!

Things went just as envisioned, and these secret terms finally set the pattern for the future!

The Soviets completely gave up their claim to control Romania, and in addition, the Soviets promised that in the next ten years, they would have to export no less than 1.5 million tons of oil and various rare mineral resources to Germany at low prices every year, and at the same time, the Soviets had to come up with the B2 series diesel engines that they were supposed to be classified as top secret but were somehow known to Li Ling!

But none of this was a big deal to Stalin, because he got the most coveted technology for a gasoline engine in Germany!

But did the Germans really make a money-losing deal?

Perhaps, only time will prove whether Li Ling's choice was right or wrong......
