Stalin stared at Churchill coldly: "There can be no completely safe plan for war, war must be risky, and it is impossible for God to win war without risk." Whole \ Ben / Small \ Say / Net "

Churchill gasped for breath and then launched a counterattack, squinting his eyes and saying to Stalin: "If the landing fails, Hitler can transfer a large number of troops from the Western Front to the Eastern Front, which will not only not speed up the course of the war, but will delay it, and we must be aware of this." But Stalin remained unmoved, and he unceremoniously sarcastically said: "Mr. Churchill, a leader without confidence, cannot win." Napoleon said that a flock of sheep led by a lion can defeat a lion led by a sheep, and that as a leader you must have strong faith. ”

As soon as Stalin came up today, he aimed at Churchill, taking Churchill as the target, unceremoniously between his words, sarcastic and sarcastic, and all kinds of means were used in turn, Churchill has always been known for his eloquence, but in front of Stalin, he was like a xiǎo child who was not good at words, no matter how he explained, distinguished, and then he was always ridiculed and ridiculed by Stalin.

Chiang Kai-shek finally opened his eyes, the culture of the Chinese country has always been polite, and the etiquette of the outer jiāo, although he and Churchill had arguments and differences, but even if the two sides had fierce disputes, he still maintained etiquette, but today he saw a completely different kind of external jiāo, completely naked, without the slightest face to talk about.

If you don't know that you are allies, this kind of scene can only appear in two hostile opponents. Chiang Kai-shek asked himself, even in the negotiations with **, the words were not so sharp.

As the argument intensified, Roosevelt felt compelled to come forward," he coughed lightly, and asked with a smile, "We are meeting here to strengthen cooperation and eliminate fascist Germany more quickly." Mr. Prime Minister: "Mr. Stalin, Mr. Chairman, whether in France or in the Balkans, next year we must land on the European continent. As for the specific location, Chairman of the National People's Congress, although China did not invest troops in Europe, during the six-year war, "you have brilliantly led the resistance against Japan and have rich experience in warfare, and I would like to know your opinion." ”

Chiang Kai-shek nodded slightly at Roosevelt when he heard this, and then spoke: "Militarily speaking, landing in France can hit Germany's military strength more directly, and the distance from France to Berlin is the shortest, while the Balkans" Although there is no danger of landing, the terrain in the Balkans is favorable to defense and not conducive to attacking, and on the whole, if you go through the Balkans to Berlin, the casualties will definitely exceed those from France to Berlin.

The greatest advantage of the French landing "is that the allies have the advantage of sea and air, we once fought against the Japanese in Shanghai, our army invested about 700,000 troops, trying to drive the Japanese army out of the sea, but our army was defeated, the reason is simple: "We have no sea and air superiority, and the Japanese fleet has caused great casualties to our army, so" I think that the landing in France is completely possible. Chiang Kai-shek made it clear that he supported the French landing" which made Churchill even more helpless, and Stalin then issued a decisive blow, he stood up and firmly declared: "No matter where the Allies land, whether there is a second battlefield or not, the Red Army will continue to intensify its attack on the German army, and we believe that we can defeat Hitler and win the war." Roosevelt glanced at Churchill out of the corner of his eye before he spoke: "Marshal Stalin and His Excellency the Chairman of the Committee both believe that landing in France is the most direct way to strike at Hitler's Germany, and I agree with him that although landing in the Balkans can also strike at the German army, General Marshall's judgment is the same as that of His Excellency the Chairman of the Commission."

Mr. Prime Minister, the German army has suffered a major defeat in the last two eastern miles, the Battle of Stalingrad, the Battle of Kursk, and the North African Campaign, the victory of these three battles has shaken the German rule in Europe and cleared the way for our landing in France. ”

After Roosevelt spoke, the situation of the whole meeting was one-sided, and all eyes and pressure were focused on Churchill, Churchill had already seen Roosevelt's eyes before he spoke, and he also understood the meaning of Roosevelt's words, Roosevelt was hinting that if things went according to this situation, the Soviet army would have the strength to defeat Hitler's Germany alone, and at that time, would it be necessary to open up a second battlefield? The Soviet Red Army could pass through Germany, all the way into Belgium, the Netherlands, France, and the whole of Europe could become red after the war.

The meeting fell silent, and everyone waited for Churchill's decision, and Churchill muttered twice in a low voice before he spoke: "Well, since three to one, I agree with everyone, land in France." Stalin immediately chimed closely: "Then when will the Allies land in France?" ”

Stalin was very realistic, you can't verbally agree to a landing in France, but you are delayed in acting, isn't this fooling me! Roosevelt said at this time: "The specific landing time will be discussed with Marshall, and we had better not make decisions on behalf of the soldiers." ”

"Why?" Stalin looked strange with a strange look, his pipe was now placed in front of him, and one hand was propped up in front: "Is there something that we can't decide?" ”

Roosevelt cursed in his heart, this suspicious fellow, he barely managed to squeeze out a smile, and explained to Stalin: "The landing involves a lot of technical work, such as the cháo tide, the weather, the logistics, which must be planned in detail and accurately. ”

Stalin shook his head and said he did not accept it: "Mr. President, the matter is actually very simple, the Allies have absolute sea and air superiority, and Britain has a large amount of war materials in reserve, I believe that there is no shortage of materials at all, even if there is a shortage, with the maritime forces of the allies, it can be replenished in a very short time." As for cháo tides, weather, these conditions, can also be found. I wonder if the Allies really want to open a second battlefield, or just to comfort the Russian people. ”

In the face of the aggressive Stalin, Roosevelt and Churchill exchanged glances, and then said helplessly: "Okay, let's settle things here." Chiang Kai-shek actually participated in international affairs very little, today he has opened his eyes, Stalin has always taken an offensive approach Churchill was completely on the defensive The reason why Stalin was able to achieve such a position was entirely because Soviet Russia played the main force in the war against Germany and killed the most Germans.

In the course of the ensuing meeting, Chiang Kai-shek had little to do, and Stalin seemed to be very urgent, first asking for a second battlefield in March, then conceding until April, and finally deciding that in May the Allies would open a second battlefield.

From the beginning of the war to the present, Soviet Russia has suffered extremely heavy casualties, the number of which has exceeded 15 million, and the number of soldiers in the country is tight, and even criminals and disabled people have been conscripted into the army.

At the same time, because the main battlefield was in Soviet Russia, almost all of Ukraine was destroyed, all cities were destroyed by artillery fire, tens of millions of war refugees were borne, and most of the factories were NV workers, including military factories and steel mills that required heavy physical strength.

That is why Stalin so urgently demanded that the allies open a second battlefield. Now that he had achieved his goal, Stalin made a big announcement that when the Allies landed in France, the Soviet Red Army would launch an offensive on the Eastern Front and cooperate.

At this end of the morning meeting, at noon, Stalin invited the heads of state of the three countries to lunch. The Soviet embassy had long been prepared, and the table was full of caviar and Volga brought from the Soviet Union. Stalin's amount of alcohol made Chiang Kai-shek very uncomfortable, and Stalin targeted Chiang Kai-shek when he came to the table, and Chiang Kai-shek had a very poor amount of alcohol and basically did not drink, so he asked for a glass of white water as soon as he served it.

"There is a proverb in our Russia, how much alcohol you drink, how big your courage is, Your Excellency the Chairman, you should not drink water, you should raise a glass to our unity, victory." Stalin raised his glass and said to Chiang Kai-shek.

Chiang Kai-shek looked at the long wine glass, which contained at least half a catty of wine, he shook his head resolutely and picked up the water glass in front of him: "Unfortunately, I never drink." Stalin laughed and said: "No, no, there is a clear saying in Russia that generals who can't drink will not fight, Mr. Chairman, you have experienced a hundred battles, and the amount of alcohol must be good, do you think that our Russian vodka is not strong enough." ”

Chiang Kai-shek was very unhappy in his heart, but it was not good to have a seizure, he had an idea, remembering the conversation with Cannon Luoting back then, he smiled faintly: "Hehe, you are not the first Russian to say this proverb to me, I once talked to General Gallen about this proverb, but, as far as I know, General Kutuzov does not drink." Isn't he a Russian general, a Frenchman? ”

Stalin smiled and shook his head: "No, no, you still don't know much about Russian history, Kutuzov is not a general, he is a commander." At this time, Bai Sitong stood up, he took a glass of wine and said: "No, no, Mr. Stalin, in our country, there is also a legend about wine, do you want to know?" ”

Stalin made a gesture of please, Bai Sitong smiled faintly: "In the country of China, the earliest record of wine is in the work of the Chūn autumn period, according to the path of more than 5,000 years, it is rumored that the wine is made by Yu's nv, Yu drank it and sighed and said, in the future, someone will die because of this, so wine, in the country has always been associated with bad things such as **degenerate, the chairman, feeling the decline of the country, to inspire the people's jīng god, put forward a new life movement, there is to quit drinking and smoking, he leads by example, does not drink alcohol or smoke. ”

Bai Sitong's words made Stalin laugh, but he was secretly alert in his heart, the history of China is really long, a record of wine is 5,000 years, what was Russia doing at that time? It seems to be Ru máo drinking blood. When Bai Sitong stood up and talked about the history of wine, the Chinese people at the scene had a strong sense of pride, and this pride was so strong that it was undisguised that both Roosevelt and Churchill felt it.

Churchill knew that Chiang Kai-shek did not drink, he had seen it in Cairo, and he wanted to see the excitement, but he had had enough of Stalin's ridicule and sarcasm at the morning meeting, and he was angry, and he drank very well, and now he could be regarded as seizing the opportunity.

"Mr. Stalin, this vodka is a spirit, but it's not as good as whiskey." Churchill challenged Stalin: "We have far more whisky in England than vodka, and I have brought a few bottles with me to this meeting." "Okay, then we're going to try it." Stalin smiled faintly and immediately accepted the challenge.

Bai Sitong quietly retreated, and there was a strange thought in his heart, how could these world leaders be like xiǎo children. He stood aside with great interest, waiting to see Stalin and Churchill fight for wine
