On February 5, 1945, discussions began. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Today's discussion is about the war situation in Europe and the post-war arrangements. Because it has nothing to do with China, the Chinese don't speak much. For the German occupation, the four countries quickly agreed, with the Soviet Union moving from east to west and the other three from west to east.

China agrees.

The first point of discussion was whether it would be possible to win. The United States, Britain, and France suffered great losses in the previous stage, and although they were far less than those of the Soviet Union, the three countries could no longer bear it, and public opinion in the United States was full of voices about withdrawing from the army. The public, unaware of the atomic bomb, called for the withdrawal of the troops.

The United States secretly decided that they were going to drop atomic bombs on Europe, and the number was two. The first site of the atomic bombing was the Ruhr industrial area, and there is also a city in eastern Germany, the exact city of which is yet to be determined.

However, the atomic bomb has not yet been successfully tested, and can only be negotiated privately with Churchill, and even France has not officially notified it, let alone other countries. Therefore, the United States asked Stalin to send troops to flank Germany with the Western Allies.

Stalin said he was willing to send troops, but demanded that the post-war spheres of influence in Europe be clearly delineated.

The East and the West were confident of victory over Germany, and the main dispute between them was the division of post-war spheres of influence. It is necessary not only to divide Germany, but also to divide Germany's client states. There was also a consensus on this general direction, but the Soviet side demanded a lot, and the three countries in the west did not agree.

The Soviet Union contributed the most, killed the most, and demanded that nature be justified. The arguments between the two sides were fierce, and each side refused to give in.

The Chinese delegation largely did not participate in the position, but the discussion itself taught a lesson to the young diplomatic delegation of China. Between countries, there are only interests. At this meeting, there is only the distribution of benefits, only bargaining. The next day, some people who had some idealized ideas in their hearts completely abandoned their original ideas and actively prepared for the struggle.

After two days of discussions, the post-war division of power in Europe was determined, with the Soviet Union's sphere of influence in eastern Germany, Eastern Europe, Bulgaria, Romania and other places in the Balkans. This is the sphere of influence of the United States, Britain and France. The British range is Greece. Poland wanted independence, and the three Baltic states went to the Soviet Union.

After the war, Germany was divided into two occupation zones, and the two sides fought to meet in the German capital.

The agreement was reached, and the atmosphere between them suddenly relaxed.

Although Roosevelt was sixty-three years old, younger than Stalin at 67 and Churchill at 70, he was not in good health. This time, Roosevelt overcame extreme physical discomfort and insisted on presiding over the discussion. On the surface, he said that he did not want to divide his sphere of influence, but in reality, Europe was not his sphere of influence, so he was just making some gestures.

6 February 1945, Yalta.

The global summit began to discuss the situation in Asia.

At this time, the United States began to pay attention to the division of spheres of influence. The United States demanded the Philippines and the Indochina Peninsula as its sphere of influence. The three Indo-Chinese countries remained in the French sphere of influence, but the northern part of the country was China's sphere of influence. Myanmar and Thailand are within the boundaries of the United Kingdom and the United States.

Because France and China have long agreed to make concessions in the northern part of the Indochina Peninsula.

The so-called sphere of influence openly refers to which country is responsible for liberation. Whoever is responsible for liberating this region will dominate this region.

There was some stalemate in negotiations between Britain and China over spheres of influence, and they did not agree to divide northern Burma all the way to Tibet to China. Hearing this, Churchill said: "There is the sphere of influence of the British. ”

Mao: "No. Now there is the sphere of influence of the Japanese. We're going to get it back. Where did our expeditionary forces fight. Where have a few Englishmen died? Right now, at the time of our meeting, countless Chinese youths are fighting against the Japanese. ”

Winston Churchill: "After the war, it was still the British sphere of influence. Not only that, but even Tibet. ”

Mao Gong: "Tibet is China's territory for thousands of years. This sphere of influence is immutable and is a condition of our troops. ”

Mao Gong had no diplomatic skills, and his tone was as gentle as he could, but to Churchill's ears, it was still high-pitched and full of threats.

The atmosphere of the meeting was a little heavy all of a sudden.

Roosevelt still had to hold the meeting, and he could not get stuck in these minor issues, and the defeat of Japan was the main issue, and said: "This is mainly the Chinese Expeditionary Force fighting, which was originally a fast envelope, only barren jungles and obscure tribes, far away from the land of bulk assets, and it is not a big problem to divide it a little." We still need to make a clear distinction between Japan's problems. ”

Mao Gong: "Before talking about Japan, let's talk about North Korea first." We already have plans to liberate North Korea. The North Korean resistance in China will also join us in the counteroffensive. After the liberation of Korea, we will use Korea as a base to attack the Japanese mainland. With regard to Japan, our plan was for our combined forces with Korea to land from the north shore and the American troops to land from the south and flank the north and south to liberate Japan. ”

The Chinese staff officers took out the map and indicated the landing site and the meeting place. The Chinese and Korean armies moved from north to south, and the United States from south to north, and the two armies met in central Japan, and the dividing line of strength was the Osaka line.

To this, the United States raised objections: how long will it take for your Chinese troops to occupy the Korean Peninsula?

Mao Gong: "Actually, ours has occupied a large mountainous area in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula, and a quarter of the territory has been liberated. The entire peninsula, with narrow terrain, many mountains and few plains, was not conducive to the operation of the Japanese army. We sent a large force from the north, and there were many guerrillas in Korea to cooperate in the operation, and we tried to recover the peninsula in two to four months. ”

In this regard, the United States raised objections: Do you Chinese troops have the strength to occupy Japan? Will the occupation of the Korean Peninsula result in the loss of a large number of troops, and will there still be the strength to occupy Japan?

Mao Gong: "The loss of occupying Korea must be very large, and we are ready to send the other tens of thousands of people in our tie to the Korean Peninsula and attack Japan with all our troops." We in China lack everything, that is, there is no shortage of troops who have the courage to sacrifice. We are ready to hit the Japanese mainland, even if we die a million, two million, or even three million. Saying this, he waved his right hand fiercely.

After the translator translated this sentence, several leaders were a little shocked, because they could see that Mao's words were prepared and extremely serious. They had studied the battle case of the Yan'an army and knew that it was serious. In addition, they also knew the full number of the army led by Yan'an, and knew that this sentence was true.

The Soviet Union made a demand to preserve the Soviet Union's rights and interests in Northeast China, the port of Dalian, and the Outer Northeast. Only if this condition is met will the Soviet Union be able to send troops to Japan.
