250 Soviet-German and American-Japanese
At 10:45 p.m., in the General Staff of the Soviet Red Army, General Zhukov, who had joined the Red Army in 1918 and was now the chief of the General Staff of the Soviet Red Army, had just received a message from the western border that the Germans would launch a surprise attack on the Soviet Union in the early hours of the next morning.

This was an extremely important piece of information, and Zhukov did not dare to be sloppy, and immediately straightened his clothes and went straight to the Kremlin.
Arriving at the Kremlin and seeing Stalin, who was just about to sleep, Zhukov did not dare to have any delay, and directly surrendered a German ** man and brought intelligence that the Germans were going to launch a surprise attack in the early morning to report to Stalin.
General Zhukov waited for Stalin to make a judgment, in fact, during this time, news continued to reach his ears that the Germans were about to launch a surprise attack on the Soviet Union, but this time the way to get the news was changed to German active duty soldiers.
In fact, the Soviet intelligence services had been receiving information from various quarters one after another that Germany was going to launch a surprise attack on the Soviet Union, and Stalin was very worried at first, but gradually adopted a completely ignoring attitude at all.
Because he did not believe that Germany would attack the Soviet Union again in such a short time after attacking France and England in succession, they simply did not have time to digest the fruits of the occupation! And, especially after the military parade on Red Square in Moscow, after Stalin's personal meeting with Ribbentrop, he was even more sure that the Germans would certainly not dare to launch an attack on the Soviet Union in a short time, even if they gave Germany another year.
But why did there continue to be information that the Germans were going to attack the Soviet Union? That's a hard thing to explain.
Could it be that the Germans are crazy?
"Immediately call a meeting of all the generals in Moscow, move quickly!"
Stalin thought that the Germans were really crazy, because only the Germans were crazy would launch a surprise attack at this time, and it could only be that the German side was crazy, after all, when he saw Ribbentrop a few days ago, Ribbentrop's performance did not look like a fake at all.
Surprise attack, such a way of fighting is destined to make the opponent suffer, even if the opponent is strong, he can bite off a piece of meat from the opponent, so Stalin had to take it seriously, and the troops had to be guarded against.
In addition, Stalin was really proud at this time, if the Germans really attacked, then the Soviet Union could justifiably counterattack back, and then take the whole of Germany as its own!
However, just as Zhukov left to inform the military that they were preparing to convene an emergency meeting, People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs Molotov suddenly appeared in front of Stalin again, and it was close to midnight!
It was obviously impossible for Molotov to come to Stalin for vodka at this time, let alone drink any cocktails, and his presence here at such a time could only mean that Molotov had something very important and urgent to inform Stalin.
Sure enough, as soon as Molotov opened his mouth, he said something that would solve all the doubts in Stalin's mind!
In the evening of that day, the U.S. government suddenly announced that it had caught two Japanese spies near Capitol Hill, and then announced a later day that it had found a man with weapons near the White House who was trying to assassinate President Roosevelt, who was also a Japanese!
Immediately after that, the U.S. government immediately imposed a blockade on all Japanese consulates, and at the same time issued formal and extremely harsh representations with the Japanese government, demanding that the Japanese government give a reasonable explanation for what happened one after another!
Of course, this is not all the measures of the US government, just when the Japanese government still felt a little inexplicable, the US Senate and House of Representatives forced the passage of an emergency bill with the direct intervention of President Roosevelt!
This bill is a decision bill that no one expected, the bill says that between the tensions between Japan and the United States, in order to ensure social stability in the country, the bill will empower the National Guard to arrest and try any foreign nationals who may have an impact on the national security of the United States!
At this time, the purpose of passing such an emergency bill is obvious, the Americans passed this bill to target the Japanese, and they want to take the opportunity to take revenge on the Japanese spies and assassinations.
Then, in the middle of the night, when everyone thought that the Americans had run out of means of dealing with it and were now waiting for the Japanese government to accept it, the US Department of Commerce suddenly held a press conference, announcing that in order to warn the Japanese government of its despicable acts, the United States would completely freeze trade with Japan!
The U.S. Department of Commerce's move is almost tantamount to putting Japan to death.
So long after Japan launched its war of aggression against China, at a time when Japan was unable to make a breakthrough in China, and when Japan was already facing an extreme shortage of strategic resources, this move by the US Department of Commerce was tantamount to forcing Japan to suddenly lose at a time when it 'had broad prospects'!
At this time, the Japanese finally knew what was the cause of the series of events that happened in just a few hours, and it was simply the Americans who were forcing Japan to make a choice!
Either Japan would stop waging war, withdraw all its troops from China, and move closer to the United States diplomatically, which would make Japan lose the ability to dominate the world, but would ensure that Japan would hold its homeland.
Or, Japan is at war with the United States in full-scale! The war was certainly going to take place in the Pacific, but there were many Dutch and British colonies here, and a war with the United States was tantamount to a declaration of war against Britain and the Netherlands.
Japan's navy is definitely strong enough to make any country in the world tremble, but they are not strong enough to fight the fleets of Britain and the United States on their own!
Japan has reached a critical moment of life and death, and all politicians are waiting for Japan's next move.
The sudden change between the United States and Japan has attracted the attention of the whole world, but no one knows that under this surface, two countries are entering the final countdown to the outbreak of war.
Stalin listened to the briefing brought by Molotov, and thought that he had figured out why a German official who had suddenly appeared at this time, and swore that Germany would launch a surprise attack on the Soviet Union in the future.
In Stalin's view, through all this that happened between the United States and Japan, and when we think of our present situation, it is clear that this must be a trick by the Americans!
The Americans were obviously planning to fight the Japanese, but they were worried that the Soviet Union and Germany would be unfavorable to the United States at this time, so the United States used this series of means to trigger a war between the two countries!
At this time, I am afraid that not only the Soviet Union got the information that the Germans wanted to sneak attack themselves, but maybe the Germans also got the information that the Soviets wanted to sneak attack them!
As long as one of these two countries is fooled, or, for example, the next step is to make a small friction out, then the Soviet Union and Germany will definitely have to fight, and there will be a big war, so that the United States will have enough time to make a move against Japan!
"Humph! Roosevelt, you're thinking beautifully! ”
