Beria said: "Comrade General Secretary, how long can the Pacific Fleet last." "Beria didn't suddenly care about his fleet, he cared because Korostiakov had a good relationship with him and had been stammering with the intelligence chief, Beria didn't want Korostyakov to die like that, otherwise it would be like he lost an arm,

Stalin glanced at Beria, thought for a moment and said, "I don't know, it shouldn't last long." ”

Beria broke out in a cold sweat when he was looked at by Stalin, but he still said: "Comrade General Secretary, there are a few words that I don't know whether to say or not. ”

Stalin, not knowing what to think, said: "Say it." ”

Beria seemed to be encouraged, and he said: "The Pacific Fleet has done its best so far, I think let them retreat when necessary, there is no ammunition, no supplies, they die in vain, if they are withdrawn to Europe, they will rest and recuperate, and they will be an elite division." ”

Stalin said tepidly: "I see, you go down." ”

Stalin surprisingly did not dislike other people's words, he calmed down and thought carefully about Beria's words, it is very reasonable, the war is not always to the end, it should be aimed at killing and wounding the enemy's troops, before he ordered the retreat without the order to retreat, the retreaters were severely punished, and the surrenderer's family was exiled to Siberia based on the fact that the Soviet army surrendered within a few months of the war, and there were actually millions of people, in order to make these people resolutely resist to avoid destruction, so the order was issued,

After Stalin figured it out, he sent a report to the Pacific Fleet telling Korostyakov that he could leave at an opportune time,

Korostyakov saw this telegram, Yuri saw this telegram, tears of excitement left in the eyes of both of them, Comrade Stalin was so understanding,

The officers and men of the Pacific Fleet were also very happy to learn of this news, they are now short of weapons, ammunition and other necessary materials, and if they continue to defend it, it will be a dead end.

However, there is another great difficulty in front of Korostiakov, that is, they still have 40,000 officers and soldiers, but their fleet has been exhausted, can those small ships come back in the vast sea, how long will it take, and will they be able to support it until that time?

Where can they go without a ship, if they really have the Chukotka Peninsula just by crossing the Bering Strait to the United States, and here, the closest thing from Kamchatka to the United States is the Aleutian Islands, but some of the islands that the Aleutian Islands drive into the Soviet Union are occupied by Japan,

In addition, the Kuril Islands to the south belong to Japan, which means that there is no one else who can save them except Japan, but there are many contradictions between Japan and Russia, whether it is the former Tsarist government and the current Soviet government, both sides have fought wars, and the two sides have won and lost each other.

Korostiakov said to Yuri: "Comrade Yuri, now our fleet is no longer reliable, but if we leave, we will not be able to do without ships, we are currently surrounded by China and Japan, you see how we should leave and preserve our strength." ”

Yuri said: "After a series of air battles, the port and some of the buildings and ships in the port were blown up, and those small boats could not go to the United States, and to Japan, Japan may not be willing to take us in, and even if we are taken in according to international law, we will not be allowed to return to Europe." ”

Korostiakov nodded, and then said angrily: "Yes, we are facing a dead end, damn Yankees are actually neutral at this time, is it good for them to watch the Soviet Union perish." ”

Yuri comforted: "Comrade Commander-in-Chief, don't be angry, there are only eternal interests between countries, there are no permanent friends, China is now strong, the Soviet Union is under the attack of China and Germany, the Americans are probably not optimistic about the Soviet Union, so he is not willing to offend China, lest Germany attack the United States, and China will also attack the United States." ”

"Well, having said that, it's very unpleasant that they swore to cooperate to defeat the fascists together, and they turned around and sold us."

Yuri said: "If we were Americans, I'm afraid we would do the same, forget it, now we should think of a way to bring out more than 40,000 great naval officers and sailors of the Soviet Union more realistically." ”

"Eh, I'm thinking that the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and I think maybe the Japanese can help us."

Korostyakov said: "How to say. ”

Yuri explained: "Although we have conflicts with Japan, but it is quite a conflict of interests, in fact, there is no deep hatred, it can be resolved, before the reunification of Germany, Britain and France were not also fighting to the death, quarreling over the issue of colonies for hundreds of years, wars between them continued, during the First World War, they did not come together against Germany, and the same was true in World War II." ”

Korostyakov suddenly realized and said with a proud smile: "That's right, the Japanese and China are not a conflict of interests, but to destroy China, children, China has killed tens of millions of people, the Chinese are now strong and will definitely find an opportunity to find revenge against the Japanese, and this deadline is the end of the war between the Soviet Union and China, as long as China is not defeated, then this day is not far away." ”

Yuri said: "As long as we understand the reason and move with emotion, I believe that the Japanese side should be willing to accept us." ”

Korostiakov said: "We immediately reported our ideas to Comrade Stalin, and I believe that he should agree." ”

Not long after Stalin, he received a telegram from the commander-in-chief of the Pacific Fleet, Korostiakov, who looked at Korostiakov's idea carefully, thinking that if the main force of the Pacific Fleet could be preserved, it would not be bad for the Soviet Union, otherwise it would be too difficult to train so many people now like defeating China and Germany.

Stalin immediately asked the ambassador in Tokyo to test the opinion of the Japanese side, Stalin knew that time was running out for him, and the Kamchatka Peninsula was now completely relying on human lives to block the attack of the squadron,

At the same time, Stalin also sent his Foreign Minister Molotov to the Japanese ambassador Sato for an active meeting,

Molotov did not dare to slack off in the slightest about what Stalin had to say, and he was immediately expelled to the Japanese embassy,

After the fall of Moscow, the offices of the Soviet government were first moved to Kazan, and now to Ufa, further behind.

"Muto-kun, long time no see." Molotov's trip was about the lives of the 40,000 Hoan Pacific Fleet, and he had to call Muto by the Japanese name,

Muto was a little flattered, you must know that this Soviet guy is very arrogant, how can he owe me millions today, Muto said politely: "How can Comrade Molotov have time to come to me." ”

Molotov said in his heart: "Do you think Lao Tzu thinks, if it weren't for the lives of those 40,000 Soviet officers and soldiers, Lao Tzu would not have come to kill him." However, Molotov still said: "Hehe, the Soviet Union and Japan are neighbors separated by a strip of water, and everyone should often move around more to enhance their feelings." ”

Muto was happy in his heart, knowing that this Molotov must have something to ask for himself, for so many years, he has always been angry, and there is a time to relieve his anger, and today he plans to embarrass the Soviet Union if he has the opportunity.

"Haha, Comrade Molotov is right, but today I am a little tired and want to take a break, or I will visit another day." said that he was about to get up to see off the guest, of course he pretended,

Molotov said in his heart: "Nima, it's easy for Lao Tzu to pretend to be a grandson once, so he doesn't give face." "I wanted to get angry, but after all, it was about the lives of tens of thousands of people, so I had to admit it.

"Eh, Muto-kun, don't say that, it's not easy for me to come once, now that the world is in a war, the world's major countries are involved, the international situation is changing rapidly, everyone is very busy, I have time to visit your brother, you are embarrassed to go to sleep."

Muto was 100% sure that Molotov had something to do with him, but he just didn't mention it, and he was in a hurry to kill Molotov, and of course he didn't say anything about resting anymore, and maybe what Molotov said was important to Japan, so he still had to listen to it, "Okay then." ”

Molotov and Muto Lala were homely, chatting about the international situation for more than an hour, although Molotov repeatedly hinted, but Muto just went around and around without giving face, that is, he was unstable What Molotov was doing,

Molotov felt that he couldn't wait any longer, and he said, "Muto-kun, in fact, I came here this time to discuss important matters. ”

Muto said, "Finally, let's say it." However, he knew that Molotov was coming in person, and this matter should also be very important, and he had already brushed Molotov for an hour and overnight, and he said, "What's the matter?" ”

Molotov said: "Now that the Chinese fascists are wreaking havoc on the land of Asia, they have occupied the Indochina Peninsula in Southeast Asia, and then they have extended their hands to South Asia, and now they have extended their hands into Siberia and Central Asia. ”

Muto listened quietly and didn't say anything,

Molotov carefully observed Muto's expression, and although he could not see any change in Muto's expression, Molotov continued: "We believe that in order to demonstrate justice and maintain world peace, the Soviet Union and Japan, as world powers, should join hands to contain Chinese fascism and restore peace to the world. ”

Muto looked at Molotov and didn't speak, as if he was thinking about this, Molotov didn't speak this time, he kept staring at Muto, waiting for Muto to speak, the two were so deadlocked, and each said in their hearts: "If you don't speak, I won't speak." ”

However, after a few minutes, Muto spoke, "There is a little friction between my country and your country's ally, the United States, in the Pacific, and now it is obviously unreasonable to form an alliance with your country to deal with China, we have no contradiction with the real meeting now, and what you said is just speculation." ”

Of course, Muto knows very well in his heart who is the real enemy of Japan, and there is only China in his own care, which is good to say before, but since the First Sino-Japanese War, the two countries have become mortal enemies, but now how calm the two countries are on the surface, the Japanese always believe that sooner or later there will be a war between the two countries, this war is impossible to avoid, and only one nation in the Asia-Pacific region will become strong and prosperous, but at present, although Japan has a good momentum of development, but China is better, and the Japanese are prepared and jealous immediately.
