037 Confrontation with Stalin
"I don't know what kind of promises the British have given you, but since you can make us stand here, I'm sure your negotiations with the British will not go so well!"
Li Ling wanted to take the initiative in his hands as much as possible, this was the first time he participated in the negotiations, and the negotiation opponent was still the steel strongman Stalin!
"Maybe I want to see your sincerity? Since now you all want to pull me in, then I should listen to your thoughts, perhaps, you give me more, maybe I can consider rejecting England and France. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½β
Stalin had a smile on his face all the time, which seemed to be different from the iron-blooded image in Li Ling's impression.
"This is simple, non-aggression, demarcation and rule! Poland, half mine, half yours! β
After Li Ling finished speaking, he immediately glanced at Ribbentrop who was sitting on the sofa: "Do you say it, Grandmaster." β
"Yes, the FΓΌhrer entrusted me with full authority in this matter, so I have the right to make a decision, we can give half of Poland to the USSR, we only want the Germanic majority, as for the rest, all to you!"
This was discussed by the two before they came here, everything is premised on stabilizing the Soviet Union, and as for the rest, as long as it does not harm Germany's core interests, it is easy to say!
"Oh, that sounds generous."
He said this, but there was a hint of disdain in Stalin's eyes, and it was clear that the conditions offered by Germany were not enough to tempt him.
"Yes, since that's the case, then we don't need to talk about it next, people's greed always needs to have a certain limit, we have an old saying in China called 'people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants', if half of Poland's territory can't make you tempted, then it seems that we have no need to talk about it anymore!"
Seeing what Stalin meant, Li Ling didn't give him a chance to negotiate at all, turned around and motioned for Ribbentrop to leave!
Although he didn't know what medicine was sold in Li Ling's gourd, since Ribbentrop had already chosen to believe in Li Ling before, he would naturally continue to believe in him at this moment!
As for the rest, they are still in Moscow, and if Stalin really refused, it would not be too late to figure out a way then!
"Your Excellency, since you have rejected us, then we have nothing to do, but we haven't had time to appreciate the scenery of Moscow, so we can only say goodbye regretfully!"
"Don't say that, minister, maybe we'll have a chance to come to Moscow again in the future, but we may have to wait a little while! When the time comes, we will be able to visit every corner of Moscow to our heart's content! β
Ignoring Stalin, Li Ling spoke the obvious threatening words as if no one was around, and then walked to the door.
β¦β¦
"Hey, Lee, how do I feel like we're messed up?"
Walking out of the Kremlin, Ribbentrop still couldn't hold back in the end, what Li Linglin said before leaving, Ribbentrop knew very well what it meant, after listening to it himself, he also thought that Stalin would not be able to sit still and would make them stop, but the result was that until they left, Stalin did not have any reaction!
"Don't worry about it so much, let's go back and eat something first, I'm hungry."
Li Ling's face didn't matter.
β¦β¦
Stalin knew very well that Li Ling was threatening himself, and he also knew what the situation of his country was now! In the current situation, the USSR really could not cope with the war, especially with the German offensive, what he needed now was time, enough time!
Stalin knew very well that sooner or later there would be a war between the Soviet Union and Germany, and how to postpone the war and if the Soviet Union was given enough time, this was the first thing he had to consider!
After smashing a dozen cups, Stalin finally couldn't sit still!
At about four o'clock in the afternoon, Li Ling and Ribbentrop appeared in the Kremlin again, however, unlike the last time, this time, Li Ling and the two of them laughed, they knew that this time it was Stalin who could not sit still.
However, at the moment when he walked into Stalin's office, Li Ling suddenly stopped Ribbentrop, and Li Ling mysteriously told Ribbentrop: "No matter what happens next, no matter how incredible you think my request is, you must not interfere, you just let me take full responsibility for this matter!" β
Pushing open the door and walking into the office, this time Stalin did not have a bottle in front of him, he got serious.
"Let's get straight to the point, tell me your requirements, and I'll see if I can meet them!"
Li Ling took the lead and threw the question to Stalin!
"I can conclude a non-aggression pact with you, but the scope of the pact cannot be limited to you and me, it must have a time limit, and I will make a decision on half of Poland, but not only this one! I'm sure you're not interested in Poland either! Also, I want technology, your gasoline engine technology! β
"No, it can't be!"
As soon as Stalin's words fell, Ribbentrop immediately objected!
Maybe everything before isn't a problem, but technology?
Is this a joke? Sooner or later, the Soviet Union and Germany will go to war, and at this time such an important technology as the gasoline engine will be handed over to the Soviet Union? The most important thing in Germany is the armored forces, and one of the cores of the armored forces is engine technology, Germany has the most advanced gasoline engine technology in the world, and the Soviet Union has almost nothing to achieve in this regard!
If the USSR had gotten this technology and applied it to its own tanks, the result would have been devastating!
Ribbentrop was not a soldier, but he was able to see it at this point!
"Don't, minister, you said before, let me be fully responsible for this matter, you don't interfere now!"
Li Ling interrupted Ribbentrop's words, if Stalin didn't bring it up, Li Ling himself would not have remembered that Germany does have the most advanced gasoline engine technology, but in fact, the later war has proved one thing, the heart of the tank force, there is only one choice in the future - diesel engine!
"Comrade Stalin, we can sit down and talk in detail little by little, don't draw conclusions so at once, we need to discuss many things, right?"
"Discuss? Your foreign minister has rejected my proposal, do you still need to discuss it? β
"No, I'm in charge of this matter now, so my decision is the most important thing. Although he is the Minister of Foreign Affairs, I should talk to you about this matter! β
