On January 2, Yongzeng City, the capital of Eastern Han Province. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yongzeng is currently the most important industrial center city in the Urals and Western Siberia, it is located in the eastern foothills of the Ural Mountains on the banks of the Iset River, was founded in 1723, in the 18th century because of its location in the Siberian transportation artery connecting Europe and Asia, it became a famous metallurgical industry center. In the first half of the 19th century, the metallurgical industry led to the rapid development of the city, and by the last quarter of the 19th century, the city became the economic, financial and cultural center of the Urals, as well as an important hub of the railway to Perm, Tumen and Chelyabinsk.

At the beginning of the century, the city was embroiled in social unrest that affected all of Russia, and during the Russian Civil War, Bolshevik revolutionaries executed Tsar Nicholas II and his family at the Palace of Ibat Yev. In 1923, the city became the center of the Greater Urals. In the twenties and thirties, the city built and rebuilt nearly 100 large factories, created more than 60 institutes and higher education institutions of the industrial branches, significantly strengthened the city's industrial potential, became the leading industrial city in Siberia, and brought the population to 400,000 before the division of the Far Eastern Republic.

After the proclamation of the Far Eastern Republic, the fierce civil war lasted for more than two years, which made many areas in the foothills of the Ural Mountains barren and depressed, but as the temporary capital of the Far Eastern Republic, the Central Government of the Far East moved a large number of people to Yongzeng City, and most of the heavy industrial machinery moved from the east to the west also settled here, so that the number of large factories exceeded the 200 mark in one fell swoop, and before the outbreak of the Soviet-German war, the city had an unprecedented population of more than 700,000.

However, with the announcement of the abolition of the Far Eastern Republic**, most of the residents chose to move south to Central Asia, Southeast Asia and the subcontinent in South China, and the machinery and facilities were also consciously hidden, and the remaining few people. The Russian government, which had lost a large amount of land due to successive defeats, urgently needed a large amount of human resources to fill the factories that had been relocated to the western Urals. The Central Committee of Subu forcibly moved his family to the cities of Kazan, Saratov, and Molotov.

By the beginning of September last year, after the fall of Moscow and Stalin's secret meeting with An Yi "sold" the area east of the Ural Mountains to South China for 10 billion Chinese dollars in exchange for war supplies, the Soviet governments in the eastern foothills of the Ural Mountains and all parts of Western Siberia carried out a cruel relocation policy.

At present, Yongzeng City, although 50,000 workers were urgently transferred from various places to resume military production. At the same time, 50,000 or 60,000 migrants have migrated here from northeast China and Jiangnan, but the whole city is still very quiet, especially in the cold winter when the ice and snow are closed.

The average temperature in January in Yongzeng is -24 degrees Celsius. It is simply impossible to have a grand welcome ceremony outdoors. Therefore, when Stalin's special train arrived at Yongzeng Railway Station at 9 a.m., An Yi held a brief and capable welcome ceremony in the station's spacious waiting room.

The ceremony proceeded in an orderly manner. When Stalin, the supreme leader of the Soviet Union, stood on the review stand, listened to the solemn singing of "The Internationale" that sounded in the station, and looked at the young An Yi who accompanied him, and saluted the guard of honor who walked in front of the review stand with a steel gun in his strong and powerful movements, Stalin, who had just recovered the capital and had expectations for victory, could not help but feel extremely envious.

Now Nanhua is strong and strong, not only with strong industrial strength. Moreover, the territory includes some of the most famous granaries in the world, and the war potential is endless. Look at the Soviet Union. Having lost Ukraine, the most fertile land in Europe, and at the same time two-thirds of the factories fell into the hands of Germany, the only thing that can be scary now is probably more than 10 million troops!

However, the most important thing in South China is the population, according to the Cheka and GRU feedback, now the Chinese population in South China alone has exceeded 300 million, although the other subcontinent with a population of about 100 million, Myanmar, Malaya and other ethnic groups will be in the future for a period of time, but now in the end are under the control of the central government of South China, South China can pull out a huge number of troops at any time.

Historically, Stalin was very arrogant and disdainful of Chiang Kai-shek, that was because the Soviet Union single-handedly carried almost the entire German army and made great contributions to the Allies, but in this time and space, the Soviet army was defeated in successive battles, not only Stalingrad was not guaranteed, Moscow was also in danger, and because of the early loss of the Far East, Eastern Siberia and Central Asia, the so-called vast strategic depth no longer exists.

It would be unwise for the current Soviet Union to be hostile to two powerful countries at the same time. Once South China is provoked, Germany attacks from west to east, and South China attacks from east to west, and the Soviet Union will cease to exist.

It is precisely because of this that Stalin took great pains to "sell" all the regions east of the Ural Mountains to South China, playing the role of friendship, and at the same time exchanging the most important war materials.

In Stalin's view at that time, the most unreliable thing in the world was the treaty, which of the European countries invaded by the German army did not sign a peace treaty with it? As long as the strength of the Soviet Union can surpass South China after the hidden dangers of the Western Front are eliminated, then everything will be taken back with a strong army, so that the other side will understand that the advantage of Soviet Russia is not so easy to take advantage of!

However, with the news of the successive victories of the An Jiajun in West Asia, Stalin keenly discovered that the current Soviet Union no longer had the capital to convince the other side, and even the powerful and invincible German army suffered greatly in front of the Anjia army.

The answer, of course, is no!

In order for the Soviet Union to survive and the red flag to be planted around the world, it is extremely important to maintain a peaceful posture with a close neighbor as strong as South China.

Therefore, Stalin, who was in a peaceful state, was very satisfied with the courtesy he received on this trip.

Speaking of which, this was Stalin's second visit, and although this land was previously the territory of the Soviet Union, between the devil Hitler and the trustworthy An Yi, between the rich European part of the Soviet Union and the barren part of Asia, Stalin wisely chose to trust An Yi and throw away those unimportant territories to get a chance to rise again.

There was also a gradual process of transformation and adaptation of the mentality of the Soviets. If it were in the original history, not to mention ceding the entire area east of the Urals, even if it was just the Far East, it is estimated that Stalin would have to step down. However, in this space-time. As early as the end of the 37th year, the Soviet Union lost the Far East because of the ** of the Far Eastern Republics, and in the 38th year it lost Central Asia and the whole of Siberia one after another. By the time the war continued in the western foothills of the Ural Mountains and in the Volga River valley, the Soviet Union had long since lost control of these territories, and the hearts of the people had long been numb.

And the current territory of the Ural Mountains and Western Siberia belongs to the unexpected joy sent back after the cancellation of the Far Eastern Republics, and even a blind man can clearly see which is more important than the lost lands of Ukraine, the Baltic Sea and Belarus, which is why Stalin's "traitorous behavior" of "losing power and humiliating the country" has not been questioned in any way.

Moreover, today's South China is the only channel for the import of Soviet weapons and war materials.

Due to the fact that the German Navy was far superior to its historical strength. It turned out that the Arctic Ocean shipping routes, which were very important to the Soviet Union, and the supply lines of the Black Sea, which were very important to the Soviet Union in time and space, were basically cut off, and the Japanese Navy blocked the Pacific and Indian Ocean shipping routes, so it was no longer possible to rely on British and American material aid. If you take 10,000 steps back, even if the route is smooth. The United States is now at war with Japan on its own soil. They simply did not have a surplus of supplies to supply the Soviet Union, so cooperation with South China became the only option.

Another point is that it is under pressure from the German army. The USSR needed to find an ally that would draw the energy of the Germans from the flank! And South China, which was fighting with the German army in the West Asian region, was naturally the best choice.

South China, as a close neighbor, is more worthy of engagement than Britain and the United States, which have made many empty promises, after all, after ceding most of the land, the territorial entanglement between China and the Soviet Union has long ceased to exist. Now in turn it is the Chinese who owe the Soviets, so in diplomacy. The two sides are more closely integrated.

Stalin had great expectations for this visit.

A person's courage to speak and act in a way that is generally consistent with his own strength, and now the Soviet Union is being encroached upon by Germany step by step, and Stalin is naturally not strong, and he very much hopes to take this opportunity to obtain the assistance of South China and form a real ally with South China, and at the same time hopes to be able to coordinate the pace in the future international situation and seek a relatively relaxed development environment for the Red Empire.

An Yi also has high expectations for this meeting between the two sides, and now that the territory that should be obtained has been obtained, it is not in line with the fundamental interests of South China to develop westward, and how to consolidate the existing territory is the most important thing. If relations with the Soviet Union were to improve, it would be a huge gain for the South China government, at least in the future, along the long border, so that the two sides would not have to be in tension and the people living in the region would face the fear of war at any time.

No matter what happens in the future, An Yi will not lighten the importance of national defense construction, and as long as Nanhua can maintain the current momentum of development and continue to make great strides in the fields of science and technology and military affairs, there is no need to be afraid of any threat.

When the group returned to the Chairman's Palace, which had been converted from the former Tsar's Palace, Stalin saw that there were not even a single pedestrian on the street, and there was a desolate scene all around, and nodded secretly, thinking that the deal had been done right!

At noon, An Yi hosted a banquet in the banquet hall of the Presidential Palace to entertain Stalin and his entourage. The main generals of the Central Asian Theater of the Anjia Army and the main leaders of the Eastern Han Provincial Military Management Committee accompanied the attendees.

At two o'clock in the afternoon of that day, the guests and hosts held talks in the conference hall.

After the talks began, Stalin was very polite and first greeted An Yi about his life and health, and An Yi talked about the advantages of Bolshevism in terms of state building and resistance to foreign invasion // the fastest text update - no advertising // , which aroused Stalin's great interest, and the two discussed enthusiastically.

Stalin was taken aback by An Yi's views on the positive role of Bolshevism in co-ordinating, planning, and coordinating material supplies, and that intellectuals and scientific researchers should be regarded as part of the working class. In his opinion, An Yi's ideas were too radical, and the flavor of capitalist reform was very strong, but there was some truth when he thought about it carefully, especially when An Yi came to the sentence "The essence of Bolshevism is to eliminate poverty and promote the development of productive forces", which shocked Stalin when he heard it, and repeated it in his heart several times in succession.

The conversation between the two men was in a very good atmosphere, and Stalin inquired about the recent situation in the war in West Asia.

An Yi told Stalin that the fall of the German army in West Asia was only a matter of time, and that the final German losses were estimated at about four million. Stalin had already received a secret report from the intelligence services, and yesterday on the train he personally read An Yi's New Year's message published in the "South China Daily" and the "Liberation Daily". Why in a very close time. Will you launch a series of battles of this magnitude and win them all? It all sounds incredible!

An Yi introduced what is called "sports warfare", and then said that the railway and road networks in the Lianghe region are dense. The movement of troops was very convenient, and in order not to give the German army a chance to breathe, the troops participating in the battle hardly rested and recuperated, and they were all engaged in the next battle immediately after the end of one battle, and they could always form an absolute superiority in local forces. The Germans did not have an air force, their intelligence was backward, and it was not surprising that there was such a fiasco!

An Yi knew very well in his heart that the An Jiajun's high-precision weapons such as cloud burst bombs and advanced means of force projection such as airships, transport planes, and helicopters were all unbelievable in the eyes of people in this era. Premature exposure is only intimidating, and it is better to blame it all on other things.

Sure enough, even though An Yi deliberately weakened the role of An Jiajun himself, it still shocked Stalin's heart. After all, on the Soviet-German battlefield. The Soviet army had enough of the suffering of the German army, and all major wars were either annihilated by dumplings or formations, even Stalingrad, which had a strong city defense. It also changed hands under the frenzied attack of the German army, which gave Stalin a visceral fear of the German army.

Now hearing that the German army hit his head and broke the blood in front of the An Jiajun, it was impossible for Stalin not to be frightened or fearful, so he subconsciously thought that since the German army was not the opponent of the An Jiajun, then the Soviet army was naturally also invincible.

Stalin pondered in his heart if Germany really lost four million troops in West Asia in one fell swoop. Then the total strength of the German army on the Soviet-German battlefield would not exceed four million, with the current Soviet army of fifteen million. If the weapons, equipment and ammunition provided by the South China side are obtained, then driving the German army out of the Soviet Union is not an impossible task.

Thinking of this, Stalin, after congratulating the South Chinese army on its great victory, frankly stated the purpose of this visit. Stalin immediately said that it was completely possible to complete the demarcation of the border in accordance with the requirements of the South China side, and the Soviet side could even help to erect boundary monuments and carry out border isolation and other tasks.

An Yi was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately said that he would do his best to help the Soviet army arm itself and drive Nazi Germany out of the territory of the Soviet Union.

The talks lasted more than three hours, and in the evening, after a dinner, An Yi and Stalin watched the performance of the An Jiajun General Political Art Troupe.

At 10 o'clock in the morning of the next day, Chinese and foreign reporters gathered in the large conference hall converted from a church in the Presidential Palace, and under the "silver sea" constructed by more than 200 magnesium lamps on the scene, An Yi and Stalin hugged cordially, and then walked onto the special signing stage.

In order to prevent Stalin from turning his face and denying people in the future, An Yi exaggerated the significance of the signing of the agreement with great fanfare, and invited the media of various countries to witness it in advance. At the same time, An Yi also specially instructed the film studio to send a special film team to record the video, and the national television station, which had just been prepared to be established, also sent elite soldiers and strong generals to record this historic scene live.

At the signing ceremony, special personnel read out the specific contents in Chinese, Russian, and English Chinese, and praised this as a testimony of the friendship between the two countries that have contributed the most to the fight against Nazi Germany.

Stalin didn't expect the signing ceremony to be so heavy, although he was a little annoyed, but thinking of what he was about to get after signing the contract, he suppressed the urge to break the contract, and read the terms agreed by the professionals of both sides overnight with An Yi, and signed his name on the document under the prompting of the staff.

An Yi's wish came true, and he was relieved. In the future, even if the Soviet Union wanted to repent, it would not have any legal or historical basis, so in a state of excitement, it got up again and warmly shook hands and hugged Stalin.

After the signing ceremony, the leaders of the two countries met with journalists from various countries, and at the press conference, the heads of state of the two countries dropped a bombshell:

An Yi said that after the victory of the West Asian War, the An Jia Army will not take the initiative to enter the land of Europe, and European affairs should be left to European countries to settle on their own, and the main direction of the An Jia Army's future use of troops is in the Indian Ocean, so as to remove the obstacles that block the exchanges between the allied countries and completely open up the sea passage connecting Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas.

Stalin said that in the future, the two countries will strengthen cooperation in the military, political, and economic fields, and that the Soviet Union will strive to gradually advance the front to Poland and the Balkans in two to three years, and to deal a heavy blow to Nazi Germany from the east. At the same time, Stalin called on the allies to open a second battlefield in North Africa and Europe as soon as possible to hasten the demise of Nazi Germany.

When the news broke, the whole world was in an uproar...... Since I was going to attend the wedding of my friend Orleans Grilled Sturgeon Castle, this chapter was sent in a hurry!
