Chapter 234: Recovering Mongolia (II)

If Choibalsan had remained in Mongolia as emperor, his subordinates would have been willing to follow him, but many would have been reluctant to leave their homeland if they had to take refuge in exile in the Soviet Union, especially the less centripetal army. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Choibalshan even thought of using strong means to force these people to leave the Soviet Union with him, because when he went to the Soviet Union, a place where he was unfamiliar, he naturally needed to employ people, otherwise, the Soviets would not look down on him Choibalshan.

But Choibalsan did not know that when the government gave him an ultimatum, it had secretly sent armored and mechanized troops directly into Mongolia.

It wasn't until he was less than 60 kilometers away from Ulaanbaatar that Choibalsan knew about it, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly ran away, and the Chinese army took over Ulaanbaatar bloodlessly and took control of the airport at the first time. The Air Force immediately sent planes to station, and then cooperated with the ground forces to pursue Choibalsan and his party, which had fled.

Because they didn't expect the government troops to come so quickly, Choibalsan in the panic couldn't take many people with them, and at this time they had been driving the convoy straight in the direction of the Soviet Union. After all, they left Ulaanbaatar first, and they also used mechanization, and they believed that as long as they were not stopped, it would be impossible for the government forces to catch up with them.

However, Choibalshan never expected that the government air force would be deployed so quickly, and no matter how much he ran on four wheels, he would not be able to outrun the sky.

When Choibalshan and his entourage saw the pursuing plane, they instinctively thought it was a Soviet plane, but they didn't know that it was a government plane until the plane dived and attacked, and even if they asked the Soviet army for help, it was too late. Of course, even if they succeed in asking for help, will the Soviets really dare to come?

After the Stuka dive bombers bombed indiscriminately for a while, the transport planes dropped directly on the airborne troops. It seems that the Air Force is very well prepared, and it is not ready to give Choibalsan a way to live.

Immediately after the airborne troops landed, the convoy was examined until the bodies of several important members, including Choibalsan, were found.

And when the news of Choibalsan's death reached the Soviet Union, their first reaction was not to use this as an excuse to send troops, but to quickly order the Soviet troops in Mongolia to withdraw from Mongolia immediately. The Japanese army was very shrewd, they directly drove the Soviet army all the way, and then directly rushed into the territory of the Soviet Union.

Because the Soviet army retreated too quickly, an effective defensive line was not organized at all, and the Japanese army gained a foothold on the Soviet border. On the other hand, the Japanese army set out from Hailar and quickly entered the territory of the Soviet Union through Manchuria, preparing to attack Chita, the capital of the Trans-Baikal Krai of the Soviet Union.

The successful breakthrough of the Japanese army into the territory of the Soviet Union was very unfavorable to the Soviet army, and Stalin was furious at the same time, and immediately increased the investment of troops in the Far East. And the Japanese army, which has made a good start, is more informative.

After discussions at the Japanese base camp, the Japanese Combined Fleet was dispatched again to prepare to cooperate with the army to seize Vladivostok, the first good port in the Soviet Far East, and then use this place as a landing point to carry out a multi-point flowering strategy in the Soviet Far East.

Moreover, at this time, the Japanese army still occupied the southern part of Sakhalin Island, and planned to directly seize the entire Sakhalin Island from the current occupied area as a roadboard, and then use Sakhalin Island as a springboard to set foot on the vast Far Eastern continent.

Seeing that Japan gave up its aggression against China and turned to invade the Soviet Union with all its might, Stalin was a little uncalm, and what worried him even more was that Britain and France in the West saw that Germany was stirring up trouble again, and they all wanted to bring the scourge of Germany to them.

With the current situation of the Soviet Union, if it were to face a German and Japanese attack, the consequences would be unimaginable. More importantly, the Soviet Union and Britain and France are not all the way, if they are used like this, how can they be willing?

Therefore, after consideration, the Soviet side was ready to find a way to stabilize Germany first, after all, it was already at war with Japan, and if it took the initiative to compromise with Japan, it would undoubtedly admit defeat, which was unacceptable to the arrogant Stalin.

The Soviet Union took the initiative to seek peace talks, and Hitler naturally couldn't ask for it, so he knew that Wei Qidong's expectation was correct again. Since things were going in the direction he wanted, Hitler was ready to act according to the original plan, and this plan was also approved by Wei Qidong.

On the one hand, Germany sent representatives to negotiate with the Soviets, and on the other hand, the Germans secretly contacted Britain and France, repeatedly saying that they hated the Soviet Union, that the existence of this country was a challenge to the entire West, and that Germany was willing to be the vanguard of Europe and eliminate this undesirable country.

Britain and France were already trying to bring trouble to the east, and they must have been very happy to hear the Germans say this. Moreover, the Germans also took the initiative to tell Britain and France about the negotiations between the Soviet Union and them, saying that they had no intention of negotiating with the Soviet Union, but only wanted to stabilize them, giving the Soviet Union the illusion that they would cooperate with Japan to launch an attack from the western part of the Soviet Union when necessary.

However, the Germans also mentioned that Poland was a British and French protectorate, and that if they wanted to attack the Soviet Union, they would have to pass through Poland. Therefore, if Germany were to attack the Soviet Union, it would have to rely on Britain and France to help solve this problem.

Britain and France had been practicing the policy of appeasement and diverting trouble to the east at this time, and judging from the reaction of the Germans, the policy has worked very well. Moreover, the Germans also knew that Poland was their little brother, and they took the initiative to ask about using Poland to attack the Soviet Union, which also gave them British and French face, and satisfied the vanity of their great powers.

As soon as Britain and France combined, they immediately came up with a move to make Poland and Germany form an alliance, and let Poland allow Germany to station troops in its territory, so as to facilitate the German army's attack on the Soviet Union in the future.

The Poles knew the ambitions of the Germans, and they did not think that the Germans only wanted to use Poland to take advantage of the strength of the German army, and they could turn against the enemy at any time at that time. However, the two bosses have spoken, and they are obsessed, does their little brother Poland have the right to speak? If it weren't for the two bosses, their Poland would have been wiped out in minutes.

In desperation, the Poles had to agree to an arrangement between the two bosses, agreeing to an alliance with Germany and allowing German troops to be stationed. In order to stabilize Britain and France, Germany signed non-aggression pacties with them. Of course, the Germans confuse the Soviets by saying that these treaties are not open for the time being, and that they continue to negotiate with the Soviets.

Britain and France also felt that it was very right, and they could not let the Soviets know about it for the time being, otherwise it would be difficult for the Germans to take precautions, and it would be bad for the Germans to think that the Soviet Union would not be easy to fight, and to stop attacking the Soviet Union.

The Soviet Union also wanted to sign a non-aggression pact with the Germans, and the Germans naturally agreed, and the Soviets also mentioned that the middle line of Poland would be the military demarcation line between the two sides, and then the two sides would directly send troops together to carve up Poland.

While agreeing to the Soviets' proposal, the Germans secretly sent troops into Poland wearing Polish uniforms, and then hoarded troops and supplies in several secret places in Poland, ready to find a suitable opportunity to attack the Soviet Union.
