readx; When sending this telegram, Yan Xishan was very careful, wrote the telegram on paper and asked the telegrapher to send it back to China, then burned the paper and flushed it into the toilet. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The United States is so eager to seek a stable development situation, in fact, it is also in the interests of the Chinese Empire, which currently has a population of 500 million, but its national foundation is too poor, and although it is not afraid of any country in waging war at this time, its foundation is too weak to give full play to its advantages in population and resources.
Therefore, the Chinese empire also needed a stable economic development situation.
As for the Soviet Union, it doesn't matter whether it fights or not, if it is in accordance with the needs of military training, it will naturally fight another fight, but it will not be able to fight for too long.
Because with the progress of the Soviet Union's equipment, the current equipment of the Chinese Empire may not have an advantage in a few years, and when the time comes, the Chinese Empire will have to change its equipment if it wants to fight smoothly again, but obviously the Empire does not want to expose the superior military technology so early, but intends to suddenly break out after the outbreak of war.
And if the USSR was beaten too badly, Russia would be difficult to control.
An armistice with the USSR, which is an inevitable part of the future of the Reich.
However, since the United States is in such a hurry at this time, why doesn't the empire push it half and seek more international interests. As for the Russian side, the Chinese Empire can still be fooled.
After all, the Chinese Empire did not want to fight at this time, and neither could the Russian side.
If the Chinese Empire does not fight, there can be many excuses and reasons, and at the same time, it can also draw a big pie for Russia, so that Russia can look forward to it for more than ten years.
After receiving the telegram sent back by Yan Xishan, Xia Jun immediately began to create a tense situation.
At the end of October, the Chinese Empire issued its first mobilization order since the founding of the Empire, and at the same time, public opinion in the Chinese Empire began to exert force.
The "Declaration" soon broke a very shocking news that the empire is likely to launch an even more fierce attack on the Soviet Union after the beginning of the spring of next year, so as to completely stifle the development of the international [***].
The Chinese empire soon came out to refute the rumors, reprimanding the news media for their wild speculation.
At the press conference, a reporter from the British newspaper The Times asked military spokesman Liu Wenhong: "If this is fake news, why did China issue a mobilization order?" And according to some sources, China's army has expanded to six million troops. ”
"It's just a drill." Liu Wenhong said.
"Then why did the Chinese Army begin to move to the Western Front?" Another reporter asked.
"It was just an exercise on the Western Front." Liu Wenhong replied again, thinking, we really didn't lie! You don't believe it.
However, the military's refutation of rumors this time is a bit of a desire to cover up.
The Chinese Empire not only issued a mobilization order, but also massed a large number of troops on the Volga line, and military spies in Russia soon sent back news from the Soviet Union and the United States.
Stalin became extremely panicked, and at the same time there was some stirring within the Soviet Union, and some Soviet generals had already shown some tendency to waver.
After all, many of the officers of the Soviet Union were left over from the original Russia, and many of them were officers during the reign of Nicholas II, or ordinary soldiers or something.
At this time, Nicholas II returned strongly, and seeing that the Soviet Union was exhausted, these officers naturally wavered.
In order to maintain his rule, Stalin launched a frenzied purge.
In contrast, historically, Hitler and Himmler could only be regarded as amateurs in the face of Stalin in terms of purges.
Before the Soviet-German war, Stalin purged a large number of them, which led to a sharp decline in the command ability of the Soviet army. At the beginning of the Soviet-German war, Stalin purged a large number of them, and the number of censors was as high as 700,000.
At this time, the Soviet Union was losing ground in the war with China and Russia, and many Soviet officers were executed on the charge of greed for life and fear of death.
The whole country has become Stalin's puppet, and Stalin maintained his rule through constant internal purges and encouraging people to go to the battlefield to be cannon fodder, etc., no wonder he was whipped by the Russians after his death.
In order to maintain his rule, Stalin could not care whether anyone lived or died.
Stalin's purge, in addition to causing a sharp decline in the command ability of the Soviet Red Army, was also internally stabilized.
This is indeed a difficult question to decide, whether to be more stable on the inside or stronger on the outside, many rulers may choose to stabilize the inside first, after all, the internal threat is more direct and more sudden.
When the United States received the news, it was very shocked.
If China were to attack the Soviet Union at all costs, then the demise of the Soviet Union would only be a matter of time, and with the current strength of the Sino-Russian alliance, it would be enough to destroy this chaotic state.
The White House paid close attention to the military changes of the Chinese Empire, and at the same time had a more in-depth dialogue with Yan Xishan, who was visiting.
Yan Xishan's explanation was the same as that at home, when he told US Secretary of State Robert: "This is just an exercise, mainly to prevent the expansion of the Soviet Union into the world." The United States is also a capitalist country and should understand that [***] is our current common enemy. ”
"World peace above all else." Robert said unashamedly.
The United States is the initiator of the war.
The greatest original sin of the turmoil lies with the United States.
"If the Soviet Union makes any changes, then our Chinese Empire will take some large-scale military action." Yan Xishan said with a pun.
This operation is indeed a nominally exercise, but this is a front-line exercise, and a bad one is a real offensive, who knows?
However, what makes the United States feel good is that the Chinese Empire will not launch a large-scale offensive until at least next year, and the Sino-Russian coalition forces have always attacked in the spring and in the summer at the latest, and this has been the case for several years.
The United States once again reiterated its intentions to Yan Xishan yesterday in exchange for a ceasefire in the Soviet and Russian civil wars, restrictions on China's arms exports to South America, and a naval limitation agreement to avoid an arms race in the navy.
The limitation of the navy is advantageous to Britain and the United States, after all, Britain and the United States say that there are three countries, and France is the navy of four countries.
And China is only a naval state.
If the tonnage is limited, for example, China, the United States, the United Kingdom, and the United Kingdom all have a naval displacement of 100,000 tons, then the Chinese navy will have to fight against three in the future.
This may seem like a bad deal, but it's actually not a good deal.
The naval arms race has always been something that the Chinese Empire wants to provoke, how can it be possible for them to stop if they want, Yan Xishan put forward a different view on the naval agreement on the spot.
"We are not a traditional naval power, we are still in the experimental stage, so it is impossible to limit the navy, especially in terms of battleships, our Chinese empire needs more tonnage and more firepower." Yan Xishan focused on battleships, and chose not to mention aircraft carriers for those who chose their surnames.
The naval arms race is nothing for China, and with China's current economic strength, building a few large battleships can afford it.
But Britain could not bear it, and Britain was financially strapped after the First World War, and it was not until the forties that it could pay off its debts.
Unless the Entente camp does not want maritime supremacy, it will have to fight with China, and Britain and China will not be able to bear it, and in the end the United States will have to pay for it.
Just like the Soviet Union, now the Soviet Union wants to develop, and many resources are lacking, and the United States father gives money.
If the United States wants to continue to contain China, it must continue to be this daddy with milk, otherwise it will not be able to play the strategic encirclement of China.
The various measures taken by the Chinese empire have already caused a huge financial burden on the United States' strategy of encircling China.
Of course, the United States is a country that can print votes like crazy, and its ability to bear it is still very strong to a certain extent, but this is not an unlimited capacity.
"But in terms of maintaining world peace, we in China also feel that as a world power, we should bear certain responsibilities. Although the Soviet Union has moved towards institutional antagonism, if the Soviet Union is willing to reform, then China will not be hostile to the Soviet Union. Yan Xishan continued to express his attitude: "The Chinese Empire also has the sincerity to re-establish the bilateral trade agreement. Indeed, the two sides should continue to maintain mutual trust and strengthen international cooperation......"
Yan Xishan said a lot of nonsense, but he didn't make a decision.
Throughout the visit, Yan Xishan expressed to a certain extent the will of the Chinese Empire, especially in terms of the civil war between Soviet Russia and Russia, and China's attitude was that if the Soviet Union could carry out a certain degree of reform, and at the same time China and the United States could restore normal trade tariffs, then the war could be stopped.
If an agreement cannot be reached with China on a ceasefire in the civil war between the Soviet Union and Russia by next spring, then it will be possible for the Sino-Russian coalition forces to launch a general offensive against the Soviet Union next year.
By all indications, the Sino-Russian coalition had already intended to destroy the Soviet Union in one fell swoop after several years of encroachment to the west.
After learning to a certain extent that the Chinese Empire had the intention of bringing about a ceasefire between Soviet Union and Russia, the United States immediately initiated negotiations with the Chinese Empire on bilateral trade tariffs.
The theme is tariffs.
At the same time, tariffs involve many problems, and the United States wants to stop the expansion of the Chinese empire at the cost of reducing tariffs.
Therefore, in the civil war between Soviet Russia and Russia, the first thing is to cease fire, and the second is that China cannot continue to sell arms to South America and help South American countries build warships.
Furthermore, it is necessary to work out a plan for preventing an arms race in the Navy.
Soon Britain also joined the negotiations, Britain was still the world boss at this time, and there was still some weight in speaking, but Britain's performance in the army in the First World War had made the Chinese Empire not have much scruples about Britain, and Britain was played by the United States in the First World War to be empty, and it did not have much impact on the United States, and the United States was still a creditor country of Britain at this time.
The main purpose of Britain's participation in the negotiations was the issue of a naval arms race.
Britain had no fear at all if it had been engaged in a naval arms race with Germany, after all, Britain's national strength was no worse than Germany's, and its navy had the advantage of traditional accumulation.
At this time, Britain was in financial difficulties, and the naval arms race really could not afford to play.
He said that Ben did not have a good relationship with the Chinese Empire, so he was naturally excluded from the negotiations.
