On the morning of September 14, 1942, Chongqing. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

September in Chongqing was still hot, and for the Soviets, it was hotter than the summer in Moscow.

Yes, the Soviets came to Chongqing, they came with a delegation, which, in addition to the senior officials of Moscow, included the Soviet ambassador to China.

Because of the importance of China to the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union has always had delegations in China. Sometimes they negotiate in Yan'an, sometimes they negotiate in Chongqing. At the previous stage, the situation in the USSR improved, the delegation left China, negotiations were stopped, work on the return of territories was stopped. Now, they're back.

The delegation is based in Huangshan. The government gave them a small building to live in, and the whole Huangshan was very strict, with a large number of military and police guarding various intersections, and there were also military patrols where there were no roads on the mountain.

During the negotiations, the Japanese planes bombed frequently, and the targets of the bombing were all villa areas, apparently, they had obtained news of the negotiations and tried to sabotage the negotiations through bombing.

Negotiations between the Chinese and Soviet governments have continued in Huangshan.

As the situation in the Soviet Union was once again tense, at the suggestion of the Soviet side, negotiations between the Soviet Union and China were held in Chongqing at the end of August.

The Soviet side was unusual, from not negotiating to taking the initiative to negotiate, many Chinese found it difficult to understand, but some people felt that this was inevitable.

After the last agreement with the Chinese government, the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army sent troops to launch a large-scale offensive in Northeast China and North China, causing the Japanese army to stop tilting towards the Far East and instead tilt towards North China and other places in Manchuria. Coupled with Japan's strategic focus on the Pacific theater, the Siberian offensive was greatly weakened.

In particular, in July, the anti-Japanese coalition forces captured Heihe, and the Japanese troops on the other side were greatly nervous, and 20,000 people were dispatched to garrison Heihe. Additional troops were also deployed along other railway lines. As a result, the military power of Siberia naturally decreased.

The Soviet Union was overjoyed by this change and transferred some troops from Siberia to resist Germany.

As the situation in the Soviet Union gradually improved, the attitude towards territorial negotiations with the Chinese side began to change, and the boundaries that had been determined were now not counted. The price of infrastructure such as railways is not talked about at all. Obviously, the USSR was in debt.

However, the situation in the Soviet Union deteriorated again in the past two months, leading the Soviet Union to decide to seek help from China.

At the request of the Soviet Union, Yan'an was the first to respond and asked to be held in Yan'an. The Soviet side demanded that it be held in Chongqing. After several back and forth, Yan'an asked the Chinese delegation to include representatives of Yan'an, and the deputy head was Zhou Gong, and the parties reached an agreement, and the negotiations were finally held in Chongqing.

The fundamental reason for the deterioration of the situation in the USSR is this.

In the areas of the USSR occupied by Germany, a large number of pro-German governments emerged. These puppet governments were all local snakes, and they actively cooperated with the German army, which put tremendous pressure on the Soviet Union.

Most importantly, these puppet governments have an army of almost three million. They collected taxes in the German occupation zone, resumed production, partly armed their puppet army, and partly supplied to the German army. The German army killed two birds with one stone and greatly increased its strength. In turn, the territory occupied by the Soviet army shrank, the army was reduced, and the retreat was step-by-step, and crises lurked.

Regarding the puppet government, the Germans had a tortuous process.

According to Hitler, he was unwilling to fight alongside the Slavs. This is his racist view and politically extremely stupid. But that's what actually happened in history.

A serendipitous piece of news changed the situation.

The diplomat in China had a revelation after talking to Yan Baohang. Yan Baohang told him at that time: The Japanese army's method of supporting the puppet army and the puppet government has brought tremendous difficulties to our country. Without a puppet government, the Japanese army would have been defeated long ago. If you take this step, you can achieve victory in the Soviet Union. If not, then Germany will lose.

Yan Baohang also said that your head of state will reject this extremely politically clever method.

The diplomat asked: If it was you who persuaded Hitler, how would you do it?

Yan Bao Channel: Diplomacy. Let Japan persuade you, the head of state, to make Japan a precondition for cooperation.

This diplomat was taken seriously by the Minister of Foreign Affairs for giving his conclusion to Minister Ribbentrop. Ribbentrop remembered this conversation as he pondered to persuade Hitler. So when the Japanese agreed to cooperate, they put forward this condition.

Why did Ribbentrop agree so much with this suggestion?

Because he is a diplomat. The Air Force, the Armored Corps, the Army, they have all created a series of glories, and diplomacy is no exception.

Diplomacy really influenced Hitler. Hitler was anxious for the Japanese to send troops, so he agreed.

Sure enough, after winning the victory in Moscow, Germany not only did not lose a large number of troops in Moscow, as in history, but also supported the White Army. The White Army understood the doorway of the Soviet Union and cleared a large number of Soviet security agents lurking in Moscow, resulting in Moscow firmly in the hands of the Germans.

Senior German officials persuaded Hitler to install a puppet regime in the German occupation zone. Ukraine, Eastern Poland, the three Baltic states, and even Belarus propped up the White Army and the Provisional Government. They completely adopted the model of Japanese domination and succeeded.

The White Army, supported in Moscow, in addition to Semenov's troops, also had some surrendered Soviet troops. The surrendered Soviet troops were supposed to fight, but Hitler hated them and did not allow them to fight. They are only engaged in the transportation of baggage and local security.

The Soviet Union has called on the people of the occupied territories to start guerrilla warfare. Because of the White Army and the puppet government, the guerrilla warfare did not work immediately as in history, and a large number of people engaged in guerrilla warfare were found, captured, and executed by the White Army.

The situation in the Soviet Union is similar to that in China today, both were invaded by one country, both had occupied areas, all had frontal battlefields, all had guerrilla warfare, and all had puppet governments. The Soviet Union was in a terrible situation of fighting on two fronts, and this was the biggest factor that undermined the confidence of the Soviet military and civilians. The only difference was that the USSR fought with two countries.

The puppet government fundamentally put the Soviet Union in a passive position.

Historically, when Nazi Germany was short of military strength and materials, it could be replenished from the occupying powers in Europe, and later generations called them client states, but the replenished materials were often destroyed during transportation.

Now it's different, they can get more reinforcements in the occupied Soviet Union. Hitler originally disagreed, but in order to cooperate with Japan, he reluctantly allowed it, and now that he has received benefits, he will not say anything.

On the second side, the Soviet Union was hit in the eastern theater, and the Japanese army marched along the railway, like a thorn, fiercely piercing the Soviet Union in the back.

The Japanese army seemed to have a tacit understanding with the Northeast Coalition Army, and the two sides did not invade each other on the border and kept their distance. At the same time, the Northeast Coalition Army moved southward in southern Liaoning and Hebei, and the Japanese army advanced westward in Siberia, without affecting each other.

The pressure on the Soviet Union on the western battlefield was even greater, the German army had already launched an offensive on Stalingrad, and by now, the Soviet army was almost exhausted in Stalingrad, and had to recruit troops from Central Asia and the Urals. Siberia also recruited hundreds of thousands of troops, but these recruits went to deal with the Japanese.

Historically, a large number of Siberian recruits were recruited into the Soviet Red Army and went to the Stalingrad front, where they were soon killed by the Germans. Today, a significant part of them went directly to the Siberian front and were quickly killed by the Japanese.

The Japanese army attacking Siberia was an elite veteran, although it did not have air superiority, and the tanks were inferior to the Soviet army, but with a large river, a stalemate was formed. The Japanese offensive was contained.

The Japanese army looked at the wheat fields that were about to ripen in Siberia, but they couldn't move forward, and the Japanese army, which was short of food, was very anxious.

In view of such a situation, the Soviet political situation believed, that is, Stalin believed that if the Japanese army did not withdraw and we could no longer get out of Siberia, then Stalingrad in the south would fall, and the oil fields and granaries would fall into the hands of the German army.

The greatest enemy of the Soviet Union was, of course, the Germans, who had mastered the oil, and it was likely that the Germans would have completely eliminated the Soviet Union in 1942-1943.

There was also a small factor that led to renewed tension on the Siberian battlefield.

Last month, the Soviets eased talks with China, and some of its inspectors were removed. Soon, the Northeast Coalition Army transferred a large number of troops from the border. Vladivostok, Boli, Hailan Pao and other places can be seen clearly, and the pressure is suddenly reduced. Japanese intelligence officers in various parts of China also received a lot of detailed information, saying that Chongqing and Yan'an had ordered the northeast to send troops south. This was proved by the battle on the Shanhaiguan front.

At this time, the German army wanted to end the Soviet Union as soon as possible and give the Soviet Union the final blow, so they met with the Japanese army two months ago and attacked from east to west. The Japanese army felt that the opportunity had come and hoped to end the Soviet battlefield as soon as possible, so they transferred troops along the railway line to attack Siberia. In two months, the Germans, the Japanese, and the puppet army worked together to deliver the final blow to the Soviet Union. By the end of August, the battle had ended with the defeat of the Soviet army.

The situation in the USSR suddenly became tense.

Therefore, the Soviet Union offered to negotiate with the Chinese government and seek Chinese troops to the Far East. This time, it is absolutely not enough for China to destroy the Japanese army occupying China at home, and it must send troops to the Far East.

The bottom line of the Soviet Union was very unclear, but it asked China to send troops to the Far East to attack the Japanese troops along the Trans-Siberian Railway. The Chinese side has been pondering. Some pondered about building more Soviet equipment and equipping a few more divisions, while others wanted the Soviet Union to abolish the unequal treaties in history.

By various means, the Germans were able to raise puppets in the occupied Soviet territory, and although only a few people were doing it in Yan'an, the effect was surprisingly good. This is a dead means to influence the world pattern, and it has succeeded.

Now the recovery of territories from the USSR is having difficulties. For this reason, Xiaolu made the illusion of evacuating a large number of troops from the border. In addition, it also made Yan'an issue an order to go south to Hebei. At the same time, intensify the campaign on the front line of Shanhaiguan. The aim was to reduce the pressure on the Japanese in the Far East, hoping that the Japanese would increase the pressure on the Soviet Union in Siberia.

This plan is also known to a few people. The vast majority of people did not know the real purpose, believing that this was a deception of Japan and seeking an attack on North China. And the only one who knows the real purpose is Xue Rui in the Northeast. She had doubts, doubted that Japan would be fooled. In case the Japanese army focuses on the Northeast Coalition Army and brings back the elite of the Japanese army in Vladivostok and other places, it will be troublesome.

Koji firmly believed that the Japanese would not fight back. Because, he did a lot of homework on other aspects. He knew that the Japanese could not fight on both sides. In addition, the Japanese still fundamentally looked down on the Chinese army.

Now, once again, his goal has been achieved. Once again, the Soviets were troubled, the troubles of life and death.
