Stalin took two puffs of his pipe, leaned back in his chair, and instead of answering directly, he looked at Roosevelt solemnly: "What I hope is that our four powers can see each other frankly, and if they can't, it will affect not only this war, but also the peace after the war." //。 ǒm/”

Roosevelt knew that Stalin was expressing his dissatisfaction, and did not inform him of the situation, but instead of arguing, he nodded approvingly: "You are right, our generation must not only eliminate fascism and militarism, but also build mutual trust, so that in the future, when we are gone, the trust between us can be passed on." ”

"Yes, that's all that matters." Stalin's hand holding his pipe waved heavily, and his movements were not large, but they gave a very powerful feeling: "The Soviet Union supports the resolution of the Cairo Declaration on the independence of the colonial and semi-colonial peoples, and we believe that Méng Gu should also practice national self-determination." ”

Stalin was very keen, and immediately sensed that if something went wrong in the Far East, it was most likely that it would be Ménggu, who had never recognized the independence of Ménggu, and they were likely to take this opportunity to demand that Soviet Russia withdraw its troops from Ménggu and regain its rule over Ménggu. Well, at this point, Stalin couldn't help but feel a wave of anger in his heart. The Soviet Union undertook the main operations and made heavy sacrifices in the war against the Axis powers, and China had only achieved a little before it had to challenge the powerful Soviet Union?!!

Roosevelt smiled meaningfully: "You can discuss the question of méng gu with General **, what advice do you have for the garrison?" ”

Roosevelt avoided the ancient question, and made Stalin understand the intentions of China, and he smiled lightly: "I" agree with General ** that "Russia has no special interests in Japan." ”

After Stalin left, Roosevelt's brows furrowed, and after Hopkins sent Stalin away, he came back to sit in Stalin's place, and Roosevelt spoke at this time: "Harry, the ** general has arrived." ”

"Yes, already in the room we prepared for him." Hopkins replied, "President, do you think Churchill will change his mind?" ”

"It must be transformed", Roosevelt said lightly: "After the Battle of Kursk, Russia showed great strength" If there are two or three more such battles, maybe there will be no need for a second battlefield, Harry, you go and talk to him, just say that you can't hesitate any longer. ”

Hopkins was very puzzled and disgusted by Churchill's insistence on landing in the Balkans, and General Marshall, chief of staff of the US Army, directly denounced the whimsical "Eisenhower was even more resolute against throwing the Allies into the lofty mountains of the Balkans."

But Roosevelt had not taken a position in this controversy, and today was the first time he had made a statement, much to the delight of Hopkins, who knew that "if Roosevelt had made a statement, Churchill would have to back down." Churchill was like a crying child, he could make trouble when Roosevelt didn't make up his mind, but once Roosevelt made up his mind, Churchill would be smart enough to follow quickly.

"Then you go and see the ** general again" told him that the question of méng was only to be discussed between him and Stalin, and was not to be discussed at this meeting. ”

Hopkins was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then understood that with the attitude that Stalin had just expressed, if he insisted on discussing the Méng ancient question at this meeting, the meeting would probably fail.

The British Embassy is not far from the Russian Embassy, just across the street, and the American Embassy is much farther away, about two miles from a block away, Tehran's streets are narrow, and the houses on both sides are mostly of the kind with earthen walls and narrow windows, as if the former Shah of Iran, who was ousted from power, also built two wide avenues in Tehran, which in Hopkins's view were more like they were built to facilitate the king's travel, one from East Mén to West Mén, and the other from South Mén to North Mén, in front of the Royal Palace of Mén Jiāo Hui, and vital to the port. But there are no such modern roads.

When Hopkins arrived at the U.S. Embassy, it was already early in the daylight, and he was listening to Bai Sitong's introduction to what he knew, and Bai Si arrived in Tehran a week earlier than **, during which time he had contact with the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union, and learned some information from them.

On the whole, Bai Sitong was quite optimistic about the prospects of the conference, and the Americans believed that the war against Japan was going smoothly, and that China, the United States, and the Soviet Union would attack the Japanese army in three ways, of which China and the United States would be the main forces to defeat the Japanese army, and after the Cairo Conference decided to attack Japan from the mainland of China, most of the tasks of the British army were actually relieved, and the British now only had to hold Burma.

And what about the USSR? The Soviet personnel did not shy away from saying that their main forces would never be transferred to the eastern battlefield until they defeated Germany, and Bai Sitong judged that the Soviet Russia's offensive in Ménggu some time ago was mainly due to the consideration of foreign Jiāo, and the main opponent of the Tehran Conference was Soviet Russia.

**and**agreed,** further analyzed that Soviet Russia launched an offensive in Ménggu, and was more worried that the [China] team would attack Ménggu and then not leave. This analysis opened his mind, and it turned out that he didn't have the idea of attacking Méng Gu, but now he has it.

Later, Bai Sitong introduced some information about Iran. Iran is also a relatively important part of the allied strategy, here is an important channel to aid the Soviet Union, a steady stream of materials in the port landing, and then through the railway into Soviet Russia, these materials in the reinforcement of Soviet Russia at the same time, but also let the Iranians have a more way to make a living, that is, stealing the railway, the railway is often destroyed, once the train has an accident, stop in the desert, waiting around the Iranians will rush up, the train looted.

At the time of Hopkins' arrival, ** was already thinking about Chōu transferring those troops north to attack Ménggu, and the Soviet Union was now only recovering the Méng ancient northern Méng Soviet border area, but the vast south and east were still under the occupation of the Japanese army, and the "Zhong" ** team entered Méng Gu in the counteroffensive, and Soviet Russia had no way to blame "China", which was very beneficial to solving the Méng ancient problem after the war.

"Darling, Mr. Hopkins is here." **See** still pensive, so he reminded him softly, ** looked up at her, turned his head to see Hopkins, and stood up.

"Mr. Chairman, are you still satisfied with the arrangements here?" Hopkins asked with a smile.

"Thank you very much." ** did not say much but was very sincere, and then asked Hopkins to sit down **next to ** next to him. She smiled at Hopkins: "It's very good here, please tell President Roosevelt, we are very satisfied." ”

"There are not many places to live in Tehran", Hopkins decided to wear a Chinese-style robe instead of the previous military uniform, which made him look less than Huamomuna, but added a bit of elegance: "The weather in Iran is relatively hot, there are a lot of sandstorms, and there are more sandstorms from the north this season." ”

**has been listening very reservedly,** but a little impatient in his heart, but he can only accompany him after the seizure is not good, Xiao Zanyu stood aside after sending tea, listening to Hopkins chatting, when he heard Hopkins talk about the sandstorm, he immediately made a note in his heart, and he would prepare **'s hat and veil later.

"According to the schedule of the meeting, the first meeting will be held tomorrow morning" After chatting about the meeting, Hopkins finally brought the topic to business: "Tomorrow's meeting will mainly discuss the European theater, according to the prior arrangement, the chairman can not participate, but the president believes that although the [China" countries did not participate in the war against Germany, the allies should not ignore the voice of the "China" countries, and after consulting Prime Minister Churchill and Field Marshal Stalin, the president decided to invite you to the meeting tomorrow morning. ”

** Slightly stunned, he was a little puzzled by why Roosevelt made such a change, to be honest, he was not so ambitious to intervene in European affairs now.

Seeing that there was no response, he immediately replied: "Thank you very much, Mr. President, for your kindness, we will be on time tomorrow." ”

"During the Cairo Conference, Mr. Chairman and the President discussed the issue of Méng, "Hopkins pondered, and the god of ** suddenly gathered, his eyes were fixed on Hopkins, Hopkins was a little surprised, but he still said: "Marshal Stalin is also very concerned about the issue of Méng, so", Hopkins glanced at **: "The President hopes that you can discuss it with Marshal Stalin, and at this meeting, there will be no discussion." ”

The expectation on his face suddenly disappeared without a trace, and his brow furrowed, which was a bad sign, during the Cairo Conference, Roosevelt had promised to support China's request for Méng, but now Roosevelt's attitude was retreating.

Apparently aware of her thoughts, she smiled slightly, her expression unchanged: "During the Cairo Conference, President Roosevelt promised to support us. ”

"We still support your country," Hopkins said with a solemn look at **, "the president has come here from the distant Americas, and we hope to reach some agreement in order to end this war as soon as possible and plan for peace after the war." ”

Hopkins's words implied that Roosevelt could not return home empty-handed, and that the Tehran Conference had to bear fruit. ** With a calm face, he snorted softly, and he was a little disappointed in his heart: "But we think that the United States is a big country with world influence, and Soviet Russia needs the United States more"

As a soldier, the words are much more direct, with the current strong strength of the United States and the dangerous situation faced by Soviet Russia, Soviet Russia is more demanding of the United States, and Roosevelt will never return empty-handed in Tehran.

** Hopkins spoke again: "We can understand the feelings of President Roosevelt, although I don't understand the war, but I also know that the war is very beneficial to us at the moment, Italy has surrendered, the Allies have wiped out all the German forces outside the European continent, Soviet Russia has made great progress, the dawn of victory has risen on the horizon, evil is being driven away, we have come to Tehran to do justice." In the last world war, China was humiliated after the war, and we don't want the same situation to happen in this war. ”

Apparently much more tactful, she did not ask Roosevelt to immediately fulfill his promise, but reminded him that China would not accept a resolution that harmed China's interests.

"I understand the chairman's concern very well," Hopkins apparently understood, and said to his husband with a smile, "The President asked me to tell you that he continues to support your country's request, but it will probably take some patience to make it happen." ”

After sending Hopkins away, ** was a little frustrated, and before the meeting had started and before he saw Stalin, he lost the first round, which made him very unwilling.
