[424] Bargaining

Stalin smiled helplessly when he saw the telegram from the Soviet embassy in China.

He said to Miko: "These Chinese always want to take advantage of the opportunity to get something, but judging from the military assistance they gave to North Korea before, they still have a bit of an international [***] spirit."

They think we're anxious about North Korea, but I'm not as impatient as they think.

Those joint ventures in which the Soviet Union took a stake were a problem, but fortunately, through the previous arms sales to the DPRK, we had already made money back, and Jin Yuecheng gave us enough gold, lead, and all kinds of ores, and we are now withdrawing, and it is not a loss. ”

Mikoyan nodded and said: "But we must not ignore this, our national defense industry is developed in accordance with the principle of early fighting, big fighting, and fighting a world war, and if our behavior deviates from our strategy, then our strategy will become empty words."

Moreover, this will also make the Americans underestimate us, this group of monopoly capitalists, who have always liked to inch by inch. ”

Stalin nodded.

"For a world war, no country can say that they are ready. But no country dares to say that it is more prepared than the USSR.

If Americans want to try it, we're there for it. But for now, we don't need to meddle.

I think that China can greatly weaken the United States on the Korean Peninsula with some support from us, and that has two benefits for us.

First of all, we can get a China that stands with us wholeheartedly.

Second, this kind of long-term war attrition can greatly deplete the strength of the United States. The Soviet Union could also get a period of peaceful development. In the case of trade-offs, it is in our great advantage. ”

Michael said: "What about the requirements for China? They wanted Soviet help to build a uranium enrichment plant with the ability to process and initially enrich uranium ore, and they were willing to pay for it.

As a sign of sincerity, they have already provided four modified versions of the MiG-15, which they call the J-5, for the study of our aircraft designers. Coupled with the previous smuggling of electron tubes, purchasing rubber, and providing top-secret information on the hydrogen bomb, they did show great sincerity and played a great role in helping the Soviet Union. It is no exaggeration to say that in the most recent year, they have contributed more to us than Poland and Hungary combined.

The Institute of Chemical Physics of the USSR Academy of Sciences has been developing and researching this since April when we received the information provided by the Chinese comrades, and we have now designed a model for a hydrogen bomb using the radiation implosion method. Comrade Zeldovich, head of the theoretical research group on the principle of thermonuclear weapons, initially predicted that around the end of 1951, we would be able to explode the world's first hydrogen bomb! ”

Stalin said: "I know their contributions, but they don't know when the graphite piles that helped them before will be built, and they are too anxious!" Leave this on hold beforehand, don't say yes, don't say no. It will depend on the development of events in the future. ”

Stalin thought for a moment and finally said: "I'm sure that, in fact, Chinese is more afraid than we are of Americans staying on his doorstep......

In this case, you call back immediately and ask Luo Shen to tell Comrade Mao in China. ”

Mikoyan immediately took out his work notes and began to take notes.

“…… The reason why I asked them to send five to six divisions to Korea was to prevent Korea from becoming a military base for the United States and future militarists against China. What is at stake with China!

Regarding my question to you about sending five or six volunteer divisions to help the DPRK, I mean at least, not at most five or six divisions!

My proposal to send troops is based on the following considerations for the international situation.

One, as the Korean War has shown so far, the United States is not prepared for a large-scale war. This is in favor of the Volunteer Army.

Second, because the vitality of its militarist forces has been greatly damaged, it is not yet capable of providing strong support to the United States in the short term. This increased the advantage of the volunteer army.

Third, the Soviets are your strong allies and backing, and we will give you enough support imaginable to ensure the security of your homeland. The main thing is that the USSR will give you nuclear protection if necessary. If the United States dares to use nuclear threats, the Soviet Union promises that it will give you nuclear protection in an open and diplomatic way at the first opportunity! And in essence to implement this policy!

Fourth, to sum up, the United States and its allies will certainly make concessions to China, which has a great ally, the Soviet Union, and accept the mediation of the armistice. This would make it impossible for the United States to use the Korean Peninsula, which has no strategic depth, as a military base.

Of course, I also considered that although the United States is not ready for a big war, it may also be dragged into a big war for the sake of face. Because we signed a mutual assistance treaty, then the USSR would also be dragged into the big war.

Is this something to be afraid of? I don't think so, because together, we will be more powerful than the United States and Great Britain. Germany cannot now give the United States any help. The other capitalist countries of Europe are not even a significant military force. If you want to fight, then fight now! And don't wait until a few years from now, when militarism will be resurrected and become an ally of the United States. And with Syngman Rhee controlling the whole of Korea, the United States and Ben will have a ready-made bridgehead on the mainland!

These are the considerations of the international situation and prospects on which I ask you to send at least five or six divisions. ”

After Mikoyan completed the record, he praised: "Comrade Stalin, you really deserve to be a great strategist. ”

Stalin spoke for a long time and said tiredly: "Tell all the troops in the Far East that they must be ready now, and in case China cannot withstand it, we must be prepared for this."

In addition, you ask the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to ask what weapons China wants to buy, and the USSR can sell them at a cheap price and in the form of loans, whether it is an airplane or a tank. In addition, they can also support them with enough second-hand old firearms outside of the contract. ”

"Yes, Comrade Stalin." Mikoyan agreed.

……………………

Juka Book House, the Prime Minister handed the telegram to the President.

The chairman looked at it and said: "That's it, with a nuclear umbrella, we can go and drive out the Americans with confidence." ”

The prime minister nodded and said, "I'm going to call a meeting of all parties and prepare for war." ”

The chairman said: "Stalin explained the problem very thoroughly, he observed us very carefully, and on the question of whether to send troops, there is little point in bargaining.

We have a small power, and they don't have to ask the Soviet Union for weapons and equipment procurement, and they will probably be disappointed, but they should be content to see the United States consume its strength in North Korea.

At present, the focus of diplomatic work is to strive for a little more, and we can't fight in the front, and the Soviet Union will move a stool and watch from the back. We try to ask for as much aviation kerosene, gasoline, non-ferrous metal ores, including diamonds, as much as possible, the cheaper the better.

On the domestic side, we must conscientiously do a good job of explanation.

When it comes to fighting again, there are always many people who will be afraid, and who doesn't hate war? We need to be mentally prepared for this and fully understand your concerns. It is necessary to explain the reasons thoroughly, and let everyone see the essence of the Korean War. ”

……………………

It was already dark, and after eating in the Ministry of Intelligence, Xiaoqiang and Minister Li came to the warehouse.

After Minister Li explained the list of goods, he smiled slightly: "Xiaoqiang, you are also familiar with the road, I still say that safety first." ”

Wei Guo took out the cigarette case that Xiao Qiang had just stuffed into him on the side, and accompanied Xiao Qiang to smoke a cigarette in the warehouse.

"Xiaoqiang, remember Minister Li's words, don't be impulsive when you encounter something."

Xiaoqiang smiled: "I'm not a child, as for being so stupid?" ”

Minister Li said: "I think you are still a little impulsive, otherwise how could you fight with people in Zhongnanhai." You didn't have to say a word at the time, and I won't be done when you come back and report me? I actually got started directly!

The most taboo thing in intelligence work is to bring personal feelings, and I have repeatedly told you this in the training. You'll have to remember it later. ”

Xiaoqiang nodded, threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it.

Minister Li patted him on the shoulder, turned around and walked out of the warehouse, Wei Guo shook Xiao Qiang's hand, and finally said: "But be careful, there are bad guys everywhere!" With that, he ran over and followed Minister Li out of the warehouse.

Xiaoqiang started at the Blood Sacrifice, and then there was a burst of dizziness.

"It's back......" Xiaoqiang said to himself tiredly.

Faced with the warehouse full of traditional Chinese medicine, furs, mountain goods, and Hetian jade seeds, he shook his head helplessly. Mobilize the warrior and drive towards the gate of the reservoir area.
