Chapter 016: U.S.-Soviet Relations
Hirohito ignored the smell of gunpowder between the two, and said to Tojo Hideki: "Tojo-qing, the information fed back by Yamamoto Qing is the same as yours, what do you think." ”
Although Hideki Tojo was dissatisfied with Yakov's behavior, he would not retaliate with opposition, he said: "Your Majesty, although the empire has long-cherished wishes with the Soviet Union or the previous Tsarist Russia, but in the spirit that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, the minister believes that the empire should help the Soviets, even if we do not ally with them, we can let them consume more Chinese, which is more beneficial to the empire." ”
Hirohito said: "There are so many Soviets, how can we rescue them, and if they are discovered by the Chinese, how should we deal with them?" ”
Hideki Tojo said: "It is easier to transport people, as long as the fishing boats and all the warships of the empire over there can be mobilized, and we only need to transport most of the people, as for the opinion of the Chinese, at present they are fighting with the Soviets in Central Asia, for the time being, they should not start a war in vain, so they are at most protesting." ”
Hirohito and Yamamoto fifty-six nodded, there must be a war between China and Japan, they are not worried about the retaliation of the Chinese, because they know that this day will not be long, the most important thing for Japan is to be prepared, and even take the initiative to attack,
"Tojo Tsuyo, then you will be in charge of this matter, and let the Soviets make a deal with it, if he can get the Americans to withdraw from the Western Pacific, then the empire can also consider working with them against our common enemy."
"Hay." Hideki Tojo couldn't hide his joy, he glanced at Yamamoto Fifty-six proudly, and the implication was: Sample, it's better to come early than to come by coincidence,
Hideki Tojo immediately sent a telegram back to Muto, the ambassador to the Soviet Union in Ufa, the temporary capital of the Soviet Union, informing him of the Japanese side's decision, and Yamamoto Isoroku also informed Yakov of Japan's decision.
After receiving the decision of the Japanese side, Molotov was full of energy, he did not expect to get it so quickly, it seems that the Japanese are also afraid of the Chinese,
Molotov soon arrived at Stalin's office, "General Secretary, the Japanese side agreed, and at the same time said that if we can get the United States to cede the Western Pacific, they can consider dealing with the Chinese with us." ”
When Stalin heard that Japan not only promised to help, but was also willing to deal with the Chinese together, he was energetic, "It is absolutely true." ”
Molotov said: "Yes, Comrade General Secretary, Comrade Yakov, Ambassador to Japan, and Muto, Japanese Ambassador Muto, all said so, and I have confirmed it, it is absolutely true. ”
Stalin nodded, then lit his pipe, turned his back and thought about something,
Molotov said softly: "Comrade General Secretary, China is rising too fast, the Japanese are the country with the deepest hatred of China, and they know very well that if the Soviet Union is killed, then it will be their turn next, so it is understandable that they will agree." ”
Stalin turned to Molotov and said: "I am thinking about how to get the Americans out of the Western Pacific. ”
Molotov said: "I'm afraid this is not easy, Australia is a British territory, everyone knows that John Bull is the most difficult country in the world, not to mention that there are a large number of white people there, and it may be more difficult for them to quit than to ascend to the sky." ”
Da Dali took a puff of cigarette and said: "Yes, Britain and the United States watched the Soviet Union being beaten by the Chinese but refused to help, so that we were forced to fight on two fronts, although they gave a lot more supplies than before, but we can't put our hopes on them, they do this just to hope that we had better die with China and Germany, we must not be able to do what they want." ”
"Although the Japanese are wolf-like, but the national strength is very weak, they have never been taken into my eyes compared to China, I have always been very worried that the rise of China will threaten the security of the Soviet Union, originally thought that it would take at least a few decades, but I didn't expect it to be only two years, it is really a man, people are not as good as heaven."
"Comrade General Secretary, isn't this just right, you can solve this scourge with your own hands for the great Soviet Union."
Of course, Stalin knew about this Molotov flattered himself, "Comrade Molotov, if there were no damned Germans, the Chinese would have only been developing for two years, and they would not be our opponents at all, but our heavy industrial bases are all in Europe, and most of them are occupied by the Germans. ”
"What about the Japanese?"
"Tell the Japanese that we will do our best to get the Americans out of the Western Pacific."
"General Secretary, will the Japanese wait for the Americans to withdraw from the Western Pacific and not attack China?"
"Don't worry, Comrade Molotov, if the Japanese really don't attack China, then they are just waiting for death, the Chinese will attack the Soviet Union, then how can they let go of Japan that killed tens of millions of them and controlled them to the ocean, so the Sino-Japanese war will break out sooner or later, and now whoever fights first will seize the initiative, I believe that the Japanese will definitely fire the first shot."
"But if they are entrusted to Australia, it is difficult to say, they have already suffered losses in two-front battles, and it is difficult to sacrifice so much to get out, to let them easily enter the two-front battle, it is obviously unreliable, so we must try our best to help them get out of Australia, as long as the Japanese and the United States reach an agreement, then the contradiction between the Chinese and the Japanese will inevitably become the main contradiction, when the Japanese withdrew their troops from China, the Sino-Soviet contradiction replaced the Sino-Japanese contradiction, Today we also want to make the Sino-Japanese contradiction replace the Sino-Soviet contradiction as the main contradiction, so that as long as we persist, the Soviet Union will definitely have hope, look at the Germans, now is only the end of the crossbow, if it were not for China's attack, we would have already gone on the counteroffensive. ”
"The general secretary is far-sighted and admired."
Stalin was very happy to be blown up, in fact, if it were not for the rapid rise of China, Stalin believed that in time the Soviet Union would definitely plant the red flag in the world.
Wallace didn't feel so good when he turned positive, when he was president, he found that the people around him didn't like him, and he could distance himself from him, and he tried to make up for it, but the effect was really not very good, when they met, they talked and laughed, and they stabbed him in the back.
"The President, the ambassador of the Soviet Union has come to visit."
"Let him in." At the same time, the servant served a cup of coffee to the Soviet ambassador, although Wallace was a very small-farmer-minded person, but he was still very polite,
The Soviet ambassador walked in and greeted Wallace warmly, although he looked down on Wallace, but people saw that he was still the president of the United States, even if others rejected him, but the important thing still had Wallace sign and nodded,
"Mr. President, it's been a long time."
Wallace rolled his eyes, it's only been a few days, the Soviets just like to talk nonsense with their eyes open,
"Long time no see, what's the matter today?" Wallace was too lazy to talk nonsense, he knew that the Soviets were not good, they either wanted this or that, like a beggar,
The Soviet ambassador was not used to Wallace's straightforwardness, "cough cough......" He coughed a few times, moistened his throat and said: "That's the case, our Soviet Union is now facing tens of millions of Chinese and German fascist troops, although the pressure is great, but we are still in the spirit of not afraid of sacrifice and overcoming all difficulties to nail them firmly to the front line, but Mr. President, we are fighting on two fronts, most of the industrial bases and raw material production areas in Europe are occupied by German fascists, and the raw material bases in Asia are occupied by Chinese fascists, And we are hardly in the air now, and the criminal planes of the Chinese and German fascists drop millions of tons of bombs on the heads of the Soviet people every day, and we are afraid that we will not be able to hold out for long. ”
Wallace said: "Didn't we increase our assistance to you, why can't we do it?
The Soviet ambassador said: "Mr. President, we have thousands of soldiers dying every day, and many more civilians are dying in the bombing, our soldiers have been exhausted, women have long been on the battlefield, and now even young women are running out, I came to see you today to see if you can help the Soviet Union to break the siege, if you can't help the Soviet Union to relieve the siege, I'm afraid this is also the last time I will see you, and it won't be long before I will go back and pick up a gun to defend the Soviet Union." ”
Wallace disdained the blackmail of the Soviet ambassador, a lie that the Soviets had used hundreds of times, "Well, it's a pity that there's nothing to see you off, I'm going to give you this cup of coffee." At this time, the servant brought the freshly brewed coffee and handed it to the Soviet ambassador,
For Wallace to be so straightforward and boring, the Soviet ambassador was really speechless,
After a while he said: "Mr. President, if the Soviet Union is destroyed, the German army of more than 5 million troops in the Soviet Union will go to war with your army in Western Europe, and they will drive the troops of the allies off the European continent, and then they will attack England, and finally the Americas, and the Chinese army will directly attack the Americas." ”
Although Wallace is president, he is far less sensitive to international affairs than Roosevelt, and he said: "Mr. Ambassador, don't beat around the bush, you can just say your purpose." ”
The Soviet ambassador smiled awkwardly: "Then I'll be blunt, the Japanese said that they are willing to fight China together with the Soviet Union, but he hopes that Britain and the United States can withdraw from the Western Pacific region and give them a safe rear, so that they can deal with China wholeheartedly." ”
Wallace said: "This is absolutely not good, the Japanese should withdraw from Australia, as long as they withdraw from Australia and the Aleutian Islands, we promise not to deal with them, even the Philippines we will give to them." "Wallace has learned about the process of the last negotiations between the United States and Japan before,
The Soviet ambassador said: "Mr. President, don't be in a hurry to answer, this time you can discuss with your government officials first, I believe you will make the right choice, and take your leave." ”
The Soviet ambassador is now just doing his best, the people are warm and cold, the world is cold, the Soviet Union is like this now, no one can help, what he can do has been done, or is doing it, everything will depend on the will of God in the future,
