Chapter 581: Stalin gave in and returned the land
Yes. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Stalin did not die.
This time Stalin was assassinated, but he was able to escape, and it became another legend, and after his death, it was written into the story and became a legend that the majority of the people talked about.
When he left the U.S. Embassy, he was scheduled to sit in a third car. However, he asked his entourage: "How many cars is Comrade Zhukov in?" ”
"He's in the second car of the convoy."
Stalin said: "I will go up in the second car and have something to talk to him." ”
"But?"
Stalin said: "He is not in good health, don't move casually." "The thought in his heart was that the assassination a few days ago was so annoying that I needed to change my plan temporarily, even if it was to change the car.
"Yes."
So, Stalin got in the second car. Stalin improvised and saved his life.
Just as their car turned into the gate, the attack took place, and a third car was overturned and smashed into the back of their car. The driver reacted extremely quickly and accelerated quickly, otherwise the flying car would have smashed on the roof.
The driver accelerated, turned left and braked when he scraped against the wall, and then rushed towards the compound. After turning around, it was finally safe, and with a squeak, the car braked. A group of guards rushed over and surrounded the two cars in front.
Soon, everyone opened the car door, and saw Stalin and Zhukov with blood on their faces. Zhukov's eyes were closed, but Stalin kept them open and did not say a word. A hole was punched in the glass next to the driver, and the driver was shot in the left shoulder, and blood poured out.
The driver insisted on driving the car into the compound and had already fainted.
Stalin Zhukov was taken directly to the hospital, and neither of them was seriously injured, but the driver lost too much blood and was in danger. The occupants of the third car are all dead.
The people from the political and political bureaus came, and everyone unanimously decided to keep it a secret.
After Stalin finished bandaging, he invited everyone in, but the director of the hospital did not agree, Stalin insisted on seeing everyone, and the director had to compromise.
Stalin said: "The Political and Political Bureau will temporarily work in the hospital in the future, please tell Molotov that the Political and Political Bureau agrees with the Chinese side's request and signs the agreement as soon as possible." Yes, agree to their territorial claims. China was asked to send troops to the Far East immediately. Our condition was that after China repelled the Japanese, the USSR would continue to use the Far Eastern Railway. ”
I am the government, and the government, the government, the government,
One human: "Is it too much of a concession to China?" These opportunists, these odious peasants, these odious petty-bourgeois elements! ”
Another person said: "The Communist Party of China is not a real Communist Party at all, it is fake!" They're blackmailing! ”
Stalin said: "We resisted the Japanese, using too many troops. In addition, if the transportation channels are not opened, the aid of the Americans cannot be brought in, and the expansion plan cannot be completed, the Soviet Union will be completely occupied by Germany within a year. Including Central Asia and Siberia. ”
What he didn't say was that when he approached Germany a few days ago, Germany did not agree to their conditions at all. Germany's condition was to divide the Soviet Union into a dozen countries, with Siberia to the west under German control and Japan to the east.
The other day, there were also private contacts with Japan, and the Japanese were even more arrogant, demanding that the USSR surrender immediately, Stalin step down, and that Siberia and the vast territory east of it go to Japan.
"But..."
Stalin said: "The fact that the Germans were able to carry out the assassination of me so successfully shows how far our situation has deteriorated. Millions of puppet armies, more than a dozen puppet governments. We have only 30 percent of the territory, 30 percent of the people. The cities of Leningrad and Stalingrad were extremely difficult. Several large oil fields and coal mines have either been lost or cannot be transported. Many factories cannot operate because they do not have raw materials and oil. If we don't give in, we will be even more passive. Our Soviet Union has reached a point of life and death. For the sake of the USSR, carry out the order. ”
The puppet army is the greatest threat.
Most of these puppet armies were nationalists, and some counter-revolutionaries who had been purged a few years ago had also joined the puppet army. They were joined by some surrendered Soviet troops.
These puppet soldiers are familiar with the Soviet army, because they are the Soviet army in the first place. They were familiar with the environment of the Soviet Union and were inextricably linked with the Soviet people. Under their blows, more than half of the guerrillas behind enemy lines collapsed, and only a few guerrillas were still struggling to support themselves with the assistance of the air force.
In addition to threatening the guerrillas behind enemy lines, the puppet army also ensured the restoration of social order in the German-occupied areas and the restoration of production. This had a huge impact on the supply of the German army and on the hearts of the people.
As for the territory, now, with the exception of an isolated city in Leningrad in the north-western corner, all the western territories have been lost, and at the moment only a long strip of Soviet territory remains along the Caspian Sea to Kazakhstan to Siberia.
What Stalin did not mention, and the members of the Politburo were also well aware, that some Central Asian countries had already shown signs of secession from the Soviet Union. A few days ago, Soviet intelligence uncovered a German spy network in Tajikistan, and the spies confessed that Germany was carrying out a big plan in Central Asia.
The foreign ministry estimated that Germany's plan was led by the diplomatic department, and that they wanted to instigate the independence of the Central Asian republics from the Soviet Union.
Although this situation was not conclusively confirmed, it shook the upper echelons of the Soviet Union greatly. The Central Asian countries are now significantly weaker in their support to the Soviet front, and calls for internal surrender are high. If something happens in Central Asia, then the last base of the USSR will be finished.
Stalin's other concern was that Leningrad was already in danger. The areas around Leningrad were occupied by the Germans, and the routes of supply by sea were cut off, since the areas of the source of supplies were occupied, and at present, due to the fact that Britain had a certain blow to the German Navy, American supplies by sea to support the support of this city.
Stalin understood long ago that the USSR was on the verge of extinction. Now, any political and military contingency is enough to destroy the Soviet Union. He must constantly shout, constantly make political, military, and economic arrangements, and constantly display his effective leadership. Now that he's wounded, he can't do these actions, at least not to speak.
People's confidence has dropped to the extreme, and then it will be over.
Only compromise with the Chinese. Relinquished land in exchange for assistance from the Chinese army.
The supremacy of Stalin's rule worked as usual, and there was no longer a dispute that the Ministry of Territorial Planning should be given to China. These people understood that the Assassins' almost successful assassination was a reflection of the unfavorable situation, and it was no accident. It is better to return the territory in exchange for aid than to the demise of the USSR.
Those who agreed to make concessions to China's territory did not dare to say yes, but they did not express their opposition. None of them want to be scapegoats.
The director of the hospital came up and said: "For the safety and health of Comrade Stalin, please end the meeting." ”
The members of the Political and Governance Bureau are gone.
Stalin asked the dean: "What is my body?" ”
The dean said: "Preliminary examination, your external injuries are very light, and there is no damage to major organs. I'm now worried that you have a slight concussion. Further hospitalization for observation and necessary treatment is required. For the sake of the USSR, please pay attention to rest in the future and pay attention to controlling your emotions. ”
Stalin said: "And Zhukov? ”
The dean said: "The vice president is doing an examination for the general, and the general's new injury is not serious, but the old injury has recurred." Hospitalization is required. ”
The Political and Political Bureau immediately sent a letter to the Chinese delegation, which could accede to their request to abrogate the past treaties on the condition that the Chinese side made appropriate concessions. It was also suggested that a working group be organized to concretely agree on the implementation of the matter.
But the requirements: first, China quickly sent troops to the Far East to repel the Japanese; Secondly, in the future, the Soviet side continued to use railways, transporting supplies.
The letter was sent out after Stalin's deliberations.
Stalin's concession this time had a tremendous effect on the entire situation of the war. The impact on China is even greater.
In the past few days, Germany has claimed that Russian righteous men assassinated Stalin, Stalin's life and death are uncertain, and the Soviet Politburo is paralyzed. Europe seems to have believed German propaganda and is in a panic. Although they had received official information from the Soviet Union, the United States and Britain were still a little panicked, and they did not believe in the Soviet Union very much.
The news of Stalin's assassination without death quickly reached Yan'an, which quickly informed Northeast China and Chongqing. However, there is no word about the USSR changing its mind about the negotiations.
Xiaolu, who was far away in the northeast, learned the news and was very calm. This was what he expected and what he expected. The Soviets did not give it for nothing, and they could not have let him be assassinated so easily. Stalin was really killed, it was very bad for the world situation, and no one wanted this ending to happen.
The reason why Xiaolu asked Yan Baohang to give the Germans this method was to make a gamble. This process is very secret, and only Xiaolu and Yan Baohang know about it.
Xiaolu designed Stalin's assassination in order to blow his will and make him realize the gravity of the situation. He knew the evolution of history, and naturally gave the Germans a very reasonable plan to make them successful. But he also knew that the game couldn't be played more.
As for the progress of the negotiations after Stalin's assassination, it is difficult to guess.
Xiaolu is now busy preparing supplies for the next big war.
In the past few days, he has telegraphed back and forth with Yan'an, discussing an important issue, that is, the direction of the next major war, whether it will be Vladivostok or Hailan Pao, or Chita. Discussions are limited to a limited number of people, for the sake of confidentiality.
The people in Yan'an are in a very comfortable mood these days, and the rectification campaign launched by Mao has been very effective, and Wang Ming has begun to do several reviews, although it is not salty or light, but it is not so tough.
At the same time as the rectification movement, a large number of mature senior cadres were transferred to various posts in Yan'an and sent them to the northeast. At present, more than a dozen provinces in the northeast have been fully equipped with provincial governors, secretaries and other cadres.
It's different from history. Historically, the cadres sent to the Northeast were all on foot, but now the cadres sent first go to Yan'an or Suiyuan, and then take a plane to the Northeast to take up their posts.
Historically, after the victory of the Liberation War, Mao sent almost half of the cadres to the northeast. These people quickly carried out the situation and carried out land reform on a large scale, so that the Northeast Coalition Army did not lack food and military salaries, and finally won the victory.
Now, Mao's strength is no less than in history, and in addition, he has also increased his efforts to send cadres into Outer Mongolia.
The arrival of these cadres has greatly alleviated the difficult situation in the northeast. They didn't know that their original environment was several times more difficult than that of the Northeast, and when they came to the Northeast, they naturally had a way to help the Northeast tide over the difficulties.
However, a dozen days after the news of Stalin's assassination, even better news came that the Soviet Union and China had signed an agreement to completely abolish the unequal treaties imposed by Tsarist Russia in history. From the demarcation point to the north, the Sino-Soviet border goes all the way to the Arctic Ocean. The lands west of this border were officially returned to China.
In exchange, the Eighth Route Army in the northeast launched an attack on the Japanese army to relieve the Soviet siege.
The news of Stalin's compromise was felt incredible by several senior generals of the Northeast Coalition Army, but Xiaolu felt that it was too logical.
Stalin's name means steel, he was a strong man, everyone thought he was a strong man, and he was molded by later literary works. In fact, there is another side to his character, he is a politician, he has tough, passion, and faith qualities, but also cunning, treacherous, and compromised.
Stalin sued Germany for peace several times during the Great Patriotic War, but in the end there was no agreement because the conditions between the two sides were too different. From the analysis of Stalin's character, in the USSR and its unsmooth situation, he would have regressed.
Stalin's greatest pressure was on the Germans, the puppet army, and the Japanese army. The threat of a few million puppet troops was even greater than that of the Germans. The territory of the USSR has shrunk considerably, and it is no longer able to strike at three enemies at once. If these lands were not abandoned, the Soviet Union faced extinction.
Choosing between perdition and land, the Soviet Union chose to give up land in exchange for the hope of survival.
Although the details of the treaty were not announced, the whole country of China was still jubilant, and their favorability towards the Soviet Union rose sharply, and they demanded that Chongqing not send troops to the Indochina Peninsula and go on an expedition to Vladivostok to liberate a large area of land occupied by Japan.
Many pessimistic people believe that the Northeast is not capable of taking the Outer Khingan Mountains. These people are professionals, and they analyze that after every major battle of the Northeast Coalition Army, they have to wait for several months or even a year. Now, they have just finished the big war and have no strength. The Japanese army that attacked the Soviet Union was the most powerful army, and the Northeast Coalition Army could not defeat it.
Chongqing issued an order the day after the agreement was signed, requiring Xiaolu to send troops to the Far East. The strange reason for this order was that it was not given through combat channels, but was published in newspapers.
It's a lot of fun. Its orders are so upright that no one can find fault with them, and even if historians study them later, they will not find any problems. But a discerning person can see at a glance that this order has sinister intentions, and its purpose is to send the Northeast Coalition Army to death.
The next day, several newspapers in Chongqing published an article praising Chairman Chiang's great achievements in recovering the land seized by Tsarist Russia. Those who understand the situation among the people question it one after another, and those who do not understand the situation think that Jiang Gong is very great.
On the same day, a tabloid newspaper in Chongqing published some of the treaty's provisions. The published section is the territorial scope, the name of the historical treaty abolished, the date of entry into force, and parts of the documents of ratification of the treaty by the Soviet Union and Chongqing.
On the same day, the tabloid was a big seller.
Lao Chiang gained a great reputation, in essence, he did not receive assistance from the Soviet Union, and the aid went to Yan'an. He also did not send troops, but asked the Northeast Coalition Army to send troops to the Far East. It's not that he doesn't like the millions of square kilometers of land in the outer northeast of Outer Mongolia, and he doesn't want to fight to the death with the Japanese.
In other words, what he gained this time was only fame and prestige. Nominally, Chongqing also reaped some real profits from North China, but in fact, most of these real profits were harvested by Yan Xishan and Fu Zuoyi.
Some people wrote lyrics to praise Jiang Gong as proof: You are the savior of mankind, you are a great man in the world; You are the beacon of freedom, you are the great wall of the nation. Jiang Gong! Jiang Gong! Your immortal spirit will always lead us, the anti-Japanese will win, the country will be successful, the anti-Japanese will be victorious, and the country will be built!
Another day later, someone composed the song and taught the students to sing it.
When the people in the Northeast and Yan'an heard this, they laughed: Does this matter have anything to do with Lao Jiang?
Northeast China and Yan'an feel heavy.
The land already legally belonged to China, but it had to be taken back from the Japanese. In other words, as long as the Japanese are not defeated, this land is not necessarily anyone's.
The Northeast Coalition and even within Yan'an began to debate how to recover these lands. One faction believes that it is necessary to adopt guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines, rely on time in exchange for space, and slowly grind with the Japanese to drag the Japanese to death, whether it is five, ten, or even fifty years.
Others believe that it is possible to fight several large battles and recapture them in one to two years.
At this time, Lao Jiang in Chongqing was very calm, and he issued more than a dozen orders.
Some of these dozen orders are public, some are secret. What was openly was the dispatch of officials and troops to North and Northeast China, and a large number of miscellaneous troops were sent to North China. A large number of officials are to be sent to the northeast.
He also demanded that Yan Xishan in Shanxi and Fu Zuoyi in Suiyuan send troops to occupy the recovered land, squeeze out the Eighth Route Army, and seize the power occupied by the Eighth Route Army.
Secretly, all the secret services and intelligence agencies in the other country issued orders to send a large number of capable forces to the northeast and make arrangements as soon as possible.
Yan Xishan and Fu Zuoyi also took advantage of the Japanese army's Shanhaiguan Battle to carry out large-scale activities and recover a large number of territories. The most important thing is that he brought back a large number of middle- and lower-level officers of the Imperial Allied Army from all over the country. The rebellion of the puppet army led to the great weakening of the Japanese rule in Suiyuan, Shanxi.
Yan Xishan and Fu Zuoyi's subordinates killed dozens of county magistrates of the Eighth Route Army.
As the Japanese army in North China weakened, the conflict between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in North China further intensified. In particular, with the death of Gangcun, the Japanese army had no leader and no action. This greatly encouraged the confidence of Yan Xishan, Fu Zuoyi and others. The once-suppressed Jin Sui army has a tendency to regain strength.

1. The assassination of Stalin by Politov with a pocket bazooka took place in the summer of 1944. This book brings it forward to 1942. At the time, his assassination attempt was a failure. Much of their preparation for this assassination was detected by the Soviets, including their custom-made Russian fur coats with wide sleeves. The Soviet Union detected the clues and took precautions. It turned out later that there was a German plane flying towards Moscow, which was suspicious. Under Soviet fire, the plane made a forced landing, and two spies traveled to the Soviet Union on an imitation Soviet motorcycle. Soon, they ran into a Soviet patrol. What struck the patrol captain was that the motorcycle had traveled about 200 kilometers in the pouring rain from the documents, but the two men were barely wet. In this way, the two spies were captured alive, and the assassination plot went bankrupt. This shows that at that time, the Soviet Union was active behind enemy lines frequently and its strength was very strong. On the contrary, although the Germans occupied a lot of Soviet territory, their control was weak. It can be said that the defeat of the German army in the USSR was extremely normal and a law of history. Even if some fortuitous factors are removed, Germany is bound to fail. Even if the Allies were removed and a second battlefield was opened, the German army would not have won in the Soviet Union, that is, the defeat of the German army was inevitable and only a matter of time.
2, Jiang Gong's commemorative song was written by Zhang Ling and composed by Li Zhonghe, also known as the presidential ode, which is a commemorative song for the Republic of China government to solicit bidding from the whole Taiwan and Chiang Ching-kuo's final decision after the collapse of the old Chiang in 1974. The lyrics are transcribed below, without simplified characters, and remain authentic.
President Jiang Gong, you are the savior of mankind and the great man of the world.
President Jiang Gong, you are the beacon of freedom and the Great Wall of the nation.
In addition to the warlords, the outside resists strong neighbors, and for the sake of justice, and seeks the rejuvenation of the nation;
In addition to the warlords, the outside resists strong neighbors, and for the sake of justice, it is the rejuvenation of the nation.
Gong Jiang! Gong Jiang! Your immortal spirit will always lead us,
**Victory, the founding of the country will be successful, **will win, the founding of the country will be successful!
The twelfth volume of the Great Liberation is over.
