On the Soviet side, Molotov and Mikoyan and others were on the Soviet side, and on the Chongqing side, there was a delegation led by He Yingqin, Chen Cheng, Zhou Gong and Lin Yurong. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

So far, there has been no progress in the negotiations.

When the delegations of the two sides entered the conference hall, Molotov said: "You have eliminated nearly 90,000 Japanese troops in North China, hundreds of thousands of puppet troops have been wiped out in various places, and you have also assassinated the commander of the Japanese army, and the results are brilliant, why can't you attack the Japanese army in the Far East?" ”

Mikoyan said: "According to our intelligence in the Far East, after the massacre carried out by the Japanese army in the Far East, except for a few Soviet civilians in the deep mountains, the vast majority of Soviet civilians have been killed. So it's impossible for us to sabotage behind enemy lines, and you have the ability to do that. Intelligence also showed that the Japanese used Vladivostok as their backyard and established close ties with the Japanese mainland. If you attack there, or any stretch of railroad at will, then our situation in Siberia will be very different. ”

Division Commander Lin: "In this battle, all the war materials that we have accumulated for several months have been consumed. If you fight again, you can only use your tooth fist and bayonet. ”

Chen Cheng said: "As long as you agree to our conditions and sign a treaty, then we can send troops." ”

Zhou Gongdao: "We believe that as long as the unequal treaties in history are abolished as soon as possible in accordance with Lenin's statement, then no matter how difficult it is, even if we have exhausted the army, we will have to send troops." If we send troops now, then the public will not trust us. ”

Molotov said: "What is the difference between giving land to you and giving it to the Japanese?" We are all losing our land. "The treaty signed at the previous stage to return the land is to be abolished?

World War II was such an era, when treaties on national quality inspection were signed, torn up, re-signed, torn up.

Zhou Gongdao: "It's different, give it to us, this is restitution, it is to stop the unequal treaty of Tsarist Russia, it is just." Give it back to us, we send troops, and there will be no pressure on Siberia. Give it to the Japanese, and the Japanese will get an inch and make further demands on you. Herein lies the difference. A righteous Soviet Union will win the support of the Chinese. ”

Mikoyan said: "Didn't we support you a lot in the previous years? Why don't you want to think about returns? ”

He Yingqin said: "This is what I have repeatedly emphasized, we are big and weak, you help us, you will contain a large number of Japanese troops, free you from worries, you have been rewarded." ”

Zhou Gongdao: "Let's not argue, disputes can't solve problems, here is a revised draft of the draft proposed by our side, I think everyone can discuss according to this." Those who agree will be decided for the time being, and those who disagree will continue to talk. ”

As he spoke, Zhou Gong distributed several printed drafts to the representatives of both sides. The draft is only two pages long, and there are not many words written on it.

The crowd reads the draft.

The Chinese delegation has already seen it, but it is still looking at it seriously. The Soviet side looked at it, and its face began to be unkind.

Zhou Gongdao: "Let me explain, according to the decision of the last discussion, our secretary group has revised the draft, and on the issue of the Soviet railways in the Far East, Mr. Jiang and Mr. Mao have agreed to pay it off in the next 20 years. It's just that in terms of price, we still think to use the price of decades ago, not the price of today. Because these are extraordinary times, prices are skyrocketing. At this price, five billion rubles is unaffordable for us. ”

Michael said: "From the point of view of us economic people, it is appropriate to use modern prices. At that time, Tsarist Russia used all the strength of the whole country to build railways. Wealth, after all, is the wealth of the people. ”

Zhou Gongdao: "At that time, 500,000 of us Chinese laborers also participated in the construction of this railway. Don't say that many of them died without compensation, just say their role, without them, the railway would not have been built. ”

Almost all of them are Zhou Gong and the Soviets are fighting each other, and Master Lin is not good at words, but every word he says is the key.

He Yingqin and Chen Cheng were very satisfied with the results of their negotiations, especially Zhou Gong's negotiation skills, after talking for a while, they almost relied on him.

Although the chairman of the committee asked them to add a clause in the agreement that the Soviet Union would continue to provide war materials to China, compared with the abolition of the unequal treaties, these things were national interests and should be written down in history, and Mr. Chiang also understood it, and agreed to put the matter of aid on the back burner.

In addition, the main focus of this negotiation was the attack of the Northeast Army on the Japanese forces in the Far East. The Chongqing government has not paid a penny of military salaries, nor has it given a number, and he knows that although the name of the commander is correct, his words are not good, and it is impossible to have any effect. So it's not so loud.

Originally, Chongqing also hoped that Fu Zuoyi's army in Suiyuan would take down Inner Mongolia, but Fu Zuoyi's division was unfavorable and failed to take Suiyuan, and Yan Xishan and He Long assisted Fu Zuoyi and failed to win. Sending troops to the Far East, there are only troops from the northeast, so Chongqing can't say anything confident.

This time, when the negotiations ended, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.

On the morning of September 14, 1942, Yekaterinburg.

Due to the time difference, it's still morning.

Molotov and Mikoyan sent the draft to Stalin.

Stalin was still in Yekaterinburg, but he had already prepared a retreat in Central Asia, ready to retreat to Central Asia at any time.

When he received the draft, Stalin was so angry that he threw it on the ground, and for a long time, he picked it up and thought about it repeatedly, thinking about whether the political situation would simply pass the draft.

After thinking for a long time, Stalin said to the secretary of the minutes: "Record: Molotov and Mikoyan: the asking price of the Chinese side is too high, we can agree to return hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land in Central Asia to them first, but we cannot give up Vladivostok." ”

The hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land he was referring to were Xinjiang. Xinjiang hasn't arrived anyway, but we have the strength there. It's a cheap but tempting stack.

In fact, the subtext of Little Steel Stalin is: as long as the situation in our Siberia is eased, we can strike further at Germany, and then we will not be controlled by others.

After the telegram was sent, Stalin got a reply from China after dealing with several things. He replied: The Chinese side is very resolute and demands a package solution.

This result was expected by Stalin. Stalin called back: "Continue negotiations. "The subtext of politics x governance x bureau is very simple, don't give in, continue to talk, don't break.

Now the situation in the USSR is in crisis.

Stalin had to make a choice between perdition and survival. Its demise would mean that the Soviet Union would become a whole bunch of small countries that would be torn apart, struggling under the wing of Germany.

His party was over, and at that time, what was waiting for everyone was underground work.

In order to survive, it is necessary to obtain some external forces. Now there are two external forces at their disposal. The first is China, the second is the United States.

The power of China is not the government army, but the Red Army, the little guy whom he admires very much. However, China has put forward the condition that all treaties in history be terminated. They want to return large tracts of land in the Far East.

These days, Stalin almost promised China that he would abolish historical treaties. The reason is simple, because if the USSR had failed, the USSR did not exist, would these lands still be Soviet? In the event of a crushing victory for the Soviet Union, or if the Soviet Union and Japan and Germany reach a humiliating agreement, these lands would not have been Soviet.

However, he was hesitant a little.
