Chapter 027: The Anglo-American Secret Treaty

Roosevelt said: "That kind of situation must exist, risks and opportunities coexist, just like the Soviet Union returned that territory, I believe that as long as Germany is defeated, the Soviet Union should be able to bring back the original interest!" You won't believe people, and the Chinese won't believe you, but I think since it's worth trying, you must try, otherwise China and Germany will attack you, and I don't think you Soviet Union will have much chance of existing in this world. ”

Attlee echoed: "Yes, you first stabilize the Chinese, as long as we can delay for a year, we will definitely counterattack, of course, we will counterattack France and Italy as soon as possible, then Germany must divide a large number of troops out of the Western European region, and as long as the Soviet Union holds on until Germany surrenders, then China is not to worry, victory will definitely belong to us." ”

Stalin carefully considered the current situation, and it was true that as long as China was dragged down for a year, then the Soviet Union could cripple Germany with Britain and the United States first, and then Germany would not have anything to worry about.

Stalin's consideration was naturally a judgment made in combination with many facts, and Germany had now reached its maximum in all respects, and now it consumed a little, and its strength would be weaker.

However, Stalin also thought more long-term, if the Allies were victorious and the Axis countries were defeated, then Britain and the United States and other countries would not only suppress China, but also the Soviet Union, and Stalin would not believe that countries with completely different ideologies could coexist peacefully.

When the Soviet Union was just founded, it was intervened by multinational forces, and the reason for interfering in the Soviet Union at that time was that the Soviet Union took the ** route, which shocked those big capitalists. The second Stalin thought from his own mind, and he could not tolerate and would not tolerate the enemy, the people or the country who did not obey him.

Stalin said: "It seems that the only way now is to give those lands to China and stabilize them first." ”

Roosevelt and Attlee did not speak, and Stalin was bored with himself, "But these territories are ceded out, and maybe there will be no return, and we have made such a great sacrifice, should we be compensated a little?" ”

Roosevelt said, "How do you want to make amends?" ”

Stalin said: "Give us Persia." ”

Attlee immediately objected: "Absolutely not, this is the territory of the British Empire, and we will never give it to any country." ”

Roosevelt naturally knew that he must not agree to Stalin, otherwise the British would withdraw directly from the allies.

Stalin said: "After withdrawing from the Far East, we will have no outlet to the sea in the Pacific Ocean, so I think it is reasonable to leave an outlet to the sea in the Indian Ocean to compensate us!" Besides, when the time comes, we will not object to you seeking revenge on the Chinese and the Qin people, and we will not oppose them if you can destroy them and turn them into your colonies. "Stalin knew that Britain was a foreign powerhouse at this time, and it was a joke to destroy China.

Attlee said: "No, Iran we will never give it to you, if you have the ability to settle accounts with the Chinese, we will not interfere, if you have the ability you can also destroy them." "It is certainly not in Britain's interest that China was destroyed by the Soviet Union, but now it is promised that it will be secretly supported when the time comes, so as to ensure that the British colonies have a buffer zone with the Soviet Union. And Attlee also believed that the United States would not let the Soviet Union annex China, otherwise there would be no one to contain the Soviet Union, and it would be a disaster for the world, if that was the case, Britain would rather not take revenge than let the Soviets succeed.

Stalin said: "We have given millions of square kilometers of territory and made such great sacrifices for the victory of the allies, shouldn't we be compensated for a little loss?" ”

Attlee argued: "That territory was originally ceded by you from China, and it makes sense for them to go back, so why should we let us cede the land to you?" If we occupy China's territory and China wants us back, we will not ask you to cede the territory to us to make up for the losses. ”

Stalin said: "Then what do you say, you can't let us give up so much territory in vain, there is no benefit!" ”

Roosevelt knew that Stalin was going to bargain again, and he said directly: "How do you want to compensate?" ”

Stalin was waiting for this sentence, of course he knew that the British would not cede Persia to the Soviet Union, Stalin pretended to be embarrassed and thought about it, and after a moment said: "After defeating the Axis powers, the Balkans will be the sphere of influence of the Soviet Union, and Central Europe, east of Germany, including Germany, will be the sphere of influence of the Soviet Union, and Britain and the United States will not be allowed to operate in these countries." ”

Roosevelt didn't think about it and said: "No, then Europe will not be saved and controlled by you, in case your Soviet ambitions swell and want to follow Hitler's example to conquer the world, then Europe will not be finished in a few days, and at that time you will attack the Americas, aren't we digging our own graves?" ”

Stalin said: "I did not say that I wanted to annex Germany, Germany is naturally still an independent country, just a pro-Soviet government, and the countries of the Balkans are also independent, just a pro-Soviet government, with their buffer, I don't think you have to worry about anything at all, and we have no ambition to conquer the world." ”

Roosevelt said: "If it is a buffer state, why must a pro-Soviet government be established, and is it not better to let them freely choose to establish a government?" ”

Stalin said: "Then you say how to compensate the Soviet Union, I say to Iran to us, and you don't agree." ”

Roosevelt certainly could not cede the British colonies to the Soviet Union, but to hand over most of Europe to the Soviet Union would be tantamount to handing over the whole of Europe to the Soviet Union, and then the Soviet Union would be the number one in the world, and the United States would be trampled under its feet every day.

Roosevelt said: "The Nordic countries chose for themselves, and the Soviet Union could not threaten them." Poland must be independent, but the Soviet Union must take the lead in establishing a pro-Soviet government, Germany must be independent, and you cannot interfere. Czechoslovakia was divided into two countries, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, which were under Soviet influence. Austria is independent, you cannot interfere with their freedom, Hungary you dominate their government, Greece in the Balkans becomes independent, and other countries are included in your sphere of influence. ”

After saying that, Roosevelt added, agree, agree, we have the greatest limit of tolerance in this matter, and in addition, do not attack the idea of the Near Eastern countries, we will not compromise.

Stalin saw that Roosevelt looked resolute and resolute, and Roosevelt's conditions were also very good, he could agree to come down first, and he could wait until the defeat of Germany, but he still had to reap other benefits.

Although Britain and the United States did not want to see the Chinese, after the fall of the Axis powers, if the Soviet Union wanted to attack China, the Americans would certainly not want the Soviet Union to be strong, and then the United States and China might become allies to contain the Soviet Union.

Stalin said: "This condition is very unfavorable for us. Well, if war breaks out between us and China at that time, you are not allowed to interfere, and at the same time, the area beyond the Great Wall of China and Xinjiang are owned by the Soviet Union, you must admit it. ”

Roosevelt and Attlee were secretly surprised, the Soviets were too dark, if Xinjiang and other places outside the Great Wall were cut off, then China would lose half of its territory, and China's northeast was controlled by the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union could really be on an equal footing with the United States in the Pacific.

"No, in that case, you will cut off half of China's territory, and in the next step you can directly attack the hinterland of China, so won't Asia be controlled by you? In doing so, you would be a serious threat to the security of the countries in which you are being held. ”

Stalin actually made a sky-high offer, and then asked Roosevelt to pay back the money on the spot, "Then what do you say?" ”

Roosevelt said: "China's existing territory, Outer Mongolia belongs to you, and you can't touch the rest." ”

Stalin said coldly: "Outer Mongolia was originally ours, but it was occupied by China. ”

Roosevelt and Attlee felt that the Soviet Union was really too shameless, worthy of being raised by the world's recognized **, too shameless.

Roosevelt said: "When did Outer Mongolia become yours, although you preempted the Outer Khing'an Mountains, but at least you got a contract, does Outer Mongolia have it?" Stalin, if you always have this attitude, I think everyone would still be left to fend for themselves, and there would be no way to cooperate. ”

Stalin looked at Roosevelt like this and knew that Roosevelt would not compromise, and he said: "But it is too little to give only to Outer Mongolia, and we have not even recovered the interest." ”

Roosevelt said: "I will give you half of Xinjiang, and any more will not work." ”

Stalin said: "Half of the Northeast is also given to us." ”

What he feared most was that the Soviet Union controlled the Northeast, so Japan and Korea would most likely be controlled by the Soviet Union, and the result would not be the same at that time, "No, there was no discussion." ”

Stalin took a step back and said: "Recognize our interests in the Northeast, the Eastern Railway will be ours, and then the ports of Arthur and Dalian will be leased by the USSR." ”

Roosevelt said: "I'll take a step back, the Eastern Railway is at most managed by the Chinese and Soviet Unions, and you can lease the port of Dalian, but Lushun can't." ”

Stalin sighed and said: "Well, deal!" ”

Roosevelt said in his heart that he would not live ten years to talk to Stalin, but now he did not want to make a fuss, and if he could not kill the Axis powers, everything would be empty talk. It was impossible for Roosevelt to let the Soviet Union control Outer Mongolia, Xinjiang and the Far East, and Roosevelt would never allow the Soviet Union to have ice-free ports in the Far East.

Roosevelt believed that it would be difficult for Stalin to occupy those territories, and if China and the Soviet Union were killed and wounded, then the United States would be able to take the opportunity to support the independence of other nationalities within their borders, so that it would be difficult for the two countries to rise and compete with the United States, and if these two opponents fell, then the world would really be exclusive to the United States.
