Chapter 026: Tehran Conference
On January 1, 1944, when the construction of the land of China was in full swing, the leaders of the three major allies of Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union gathered in Tehran, but although they greeted each other and smiled, people could see a trace of sadness on their faces.
Originally, they could not leave their country at such a time, but now that the world situation is changing, it is obvious that they cannot get together to discuss countermeasures, and they will obviously not be able to rely on diplomats alone.
Stalin didn't have much time to stay in Tehran, the Soviet Union was a one-party dictatorship, although there was no competition from other parties, but if you abolished other parties, then those who believed in the faith could only join the CPSU if they wanted to realize their values, in fact, the party was actually more dangerous.
In the face of such a world war, it is very likely that someone will start a rebellion in the absence of the supreme leader, Stalin knows what he has done, and if he is not in power, then he will be killed by someone else in his life, and the families of countless framed people will come to him to settle accounts.
U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, British Prime Minister Attlee, and Soviet Supreme Leader Joseph Stalin got to the point after a brief conversation.
Stalin said: "We hope that Britain and the United States will launch a war against Europe by May, otherwise we will probably not be able to hold on." "Stalin blocked the road before Roosevelt and Attlee could talk.
Roosevelt said: "We also really want to do that, but the Japanese attack in the Pacific Ocean is fierce, and at the same time they are attacking in India, and they look like they are going to fight in the Middle East to join the German army in Africa, and it is very difficult for us to complete the landing mission with the strength of the United States alone." ”
Roosevelt knew that the Soviets were indeed very difficult, and if he did not attack from Europe and contain the Germans' forces, Roosevelt would be able to meet the Soviets and would not be able to withstand them. At present, there is an increase in the variable of China, although there is no major war after the Great War of Outer Mongolia between China and the Soviet Union, but this kind of calmness is frightening, and a large number of squadrons are assembled and reorganized in the north. At the same time, the construction of railways from the hinterland of China to Xinjiang and Outer Mongolia made it clear that China would not give up if it did not reclaim those territories, and Roosevelt believed that China was completely ready to launch an attack, and I believe that it was this year.
Attlee did not understand the importance of the Soviet Union to Britain, but he was the Prime Minister of Britain, and if he could not defend Britain's interests, then even if he approved any plan, it would be difficult to implement it, or it would be rejected outright.
Attlee said: "The difficulty that our country is facing now is that Japan is attacking Australia and India, especially India has pinned down our forces, if we give up, then it will not only be India, but also Iran, all the places in the Middle East, and 80% of the Soviet aid is transported to the Soviet Union from here, if the Soviet Union thinks it is okay to give up those supplies, we will not take care of it at that time." Attlee turned and kicked the ball to the Soviets.
Attlee is also an old man in politics, the British have a centuries-old history of shamelessness, and no matter how clean people come out of this environment, they are still known as the dirtiest politicians, and they can be said to be stinky shit in poop.
Stalin ignored Roosevelt and Attlee's displeasure and took a drag on his pipe, "Then what do you think should be?" ”
This really made Roosevelt and Attlee very embarrassed, and there was really no good way to face the current situation, unless they could pull the Chinese into the allies, otherwise......
Roosevelt said: "The current world situation is called "Three Kingdoms" in a word in China, the allies, the Axis powers, and the Huaxia countries, the three strongest forces in the world, the allies and the Axis powers are now equal in strength, and no one can help to win whom, as the weakest China, is now neutral, but whichever side he joins, which side will win. But judging by the current situation, they will not be our allies, if not neutral, and may even join the Axis powers. ”
Attlee said: "Yes, there are millions of square kilometers of disputes between China and the Soviet Union, and a large-scale war has just broken out, and now the Chinese are reorganizing their armies, building railways to the border, and developing industry, clearly to fight with you Soviet Union." ”
Attlee's intention is very simple, you Stalin don't always think about yourself, don't always kick the trouble to others, you still have to give out what you deserve.
Stalin said: "You mean that we cede the territory of the USSR to China?" ”
Roosevelt and Attlee were a little desperate, Stalin still insisted that the territory was Soviet at this time, then a big war was inevitable, and there was absolutely no chance of recovery.
Roosevelt asked people to test the meaning of the Chinese side many times, but the pro-American people in China told the American personnel that the top leaders must regain the lost ground, even if many people die. This means that if you can't get those territories back, then war will definitely break out.
Roosevelt was unreliable in his original desire to threaten China, and Soong Meiling also persuaded Chiang Kai-shek that if he fought with the Soviet Union at this time, he would probably offend Britain and the United States and other allies, but Chiang Kai-shek didn't care at all.
Chiang Kai-shek was not afraid, he knew in his heart that Wang Hanzhang had already hooked up with Germany, but it was inconvenient to make it public now, so it was a big deal to join the Axis powers, who was afraid of whom! What's more, if he wants to negotiate peace with the Soviet Union and does not recover the millions of kilometers of territory he lost, then he will not stay in this position for long, and he will be driven down in the name of a traitor, and Wang Hanzhang will naturally not fulfill the emperor's promise at that time, if he does not open up the territory, what will he use to fulfill it?
Soong Meiling's family was a representative of the pro-American faction, and Chiang Kai-shek's original words were naturally told to the American personnel, so Roosevelt knew the thoughts of Chiang Kai-shek, the supreme ruler of China.
Wang Hanzhang's plan is currently perfect, only he and Mao Weiguo of the Socialist Party and Chiang Kai-shek are known, and Wang Hanzhang has repeatedly reiterated that this matter must not be revealed by a fourth person for the sake of secrecy. Who are the two of them, they naturally know the importance of these words.
At present, the battle plan designated by the Chinese High Command is how to recover and take the lost territory, and then how to deal with the Soviet army and how to fight the battle.
However, in fact, when these people specified the battle plan, they couldn't help but want to take Central Asia and Siberia and other places in one fell swoop and establish a great China.
But they can only discuss it in private, and there is no intention of asking for Central Asia and Siberia. China is now preparing how to recover those lost territories, and many things are being prepared publicly, including the build-up of a large number of troops in the north and the construction of railways.
Wang Hanzhang does not reveal his true thoughts now because China is mixed, and Wang Hanzhang does not believe that if a coalition government is established, everyone in China will be patriotic, and it will be bad if the secret is leaked at that time.
In fact, Siberia is not so difficult to fight, for example, as long as the Baikal region is taken, then a large area of the Trans-Khingan Mountains will be at your fingertips, and if the Trans-Khingan Mountains region is taken, then the entire East Siberia and Central Siberia will become China's bag.
Siberia is not bad in these places, and it is difficult for other places to survive a large number of people, so it is easy to fight and defeat without a few months of war.
Roosevelt said to Stalin: "Mr. Stalin, if you don't want the Soviet Union to perish, it's better to negotiate with China as soon as possible, otherwise when China starts to attack, their army will hit there, and no one knows." Of course we don't know how you do it, we need the result rather than the process. Even if they can't be drawn into the allies again, at least keep them neutral, at least as a deterrent to Japan. ”
Attlee said: "I agree with President Roosevelt, if there is a better way, who would want to compromise, if it weren't for the damned Germans and Japanese, our British Empire would have cleaned up the Chinese a long time ago." Not only have they trampled on our dignity, but they have also our Prime Minister Winston Churchill, and they have also taken possession of our Malay Peninsula, Burma, and part of India, and sooner or later the British Empire will settle this hatred with them. The problem is that we must now guarantee that we will not be killed by the Germans in order to have a chance of revenge, otherwise it will be empty talk. ”
Roosevelt continued: "We have risked our lives to come here to discuss a practical way to ensure that we can finally defeat the Axis powers, and without the containment of the Axis powers, the Chinese people would not dare to be so arrogant." ”
Stalin was not confused, and in this situation, the Soviet Union had no way to deal with the challenge of China, otherwise the Soviet Union would really have no way to perish. If he compromised, he was also worried that China would attack the Soviet Union again after gaining territory, and then it would suffer even more.
What Stalin hoped was that Huaxia would really be able to guarantee neutrality until the Soviet Union defeated the Axis powers, so that he would not have to worry about it, and when the Axis powers were cleaned up, Huaxia would have to obediently spit out those things, and it was the kind that would bring profits.
Stalin understood that China, as another religion, could not be tolerated by Christendom, and that after the surrender of the Axis powers, they would inevitably be suppressed by all Christendom, and the Soviet Union was very dominant. At that time, the Soviet Union was in the same position as Germany before World War II, and the capitalist countries wanted Germany to attack the Soviet Union, and then they profited.
But if things had come to that point, Stalin would never have tolerated others pointing fingers into his own interests.
Stalin said: "Even if I am willing to back down and give up those territories, who can guarantee that China will not attack the Soviet Union again?" ”
Roosevelt and Attlee rejoiced that the damned, stinky, hard-nosed Soviet Mao Stalin had finally relented. The two thanked God countless times in their hearts that although Stalin was uncompromising and the first unlucky one was the Soviet Union, it was possible that they would be the next, and they didn't want to take that risk.
