Chapter 399: Stalin's Compromise
"Hmph, it's really a fool's dream, ask me to return to Outer Mongolia, and there is no door."
When Stalin received Zhukov's telegram, he was very angry. He was a big country, but he was threatened by a weak Huaxia general, and even asked him to cede land. This is simply a great shame for him.
"I didn't expect this Huaxia General Chen to have such a big appetite and directly ask us for land, I can't imagine it."
Marshal Koniv was also very surprised to see Zhukov's telegram, and he, like Stalin, did not dare to think that Chen Jinghui would open his mouth and ask for land. They are all proud men, and how can they suffer such a disgrace.
"Commander, although this condition is harsh, the situation we are facing now is indeed very grim, and we urgently need Huaxia to send troops to help. If I come to see it, we can discuss with them and return Outer Mongolia to them, but forget about the Tyumen region of Siberia. Marshal Roxovsky said.
"I don't agree, ceding territory is a great shame, our Soviet Union has always occupied other people's territory since the time of Tsarist Russia, how can there be a precedent for ceding territory." Konev said.
"Then you say, what about the current situation, how to resolve this crisis." Roxovsky said.
"We can recruit troops from the eastern region, another 500,000 troops, and let them defend the Japanese Kwantung Army on the Eastern Front. At the same time, he ordered the troops of Outer Mongolia to launch an attack on the Japanese troops in Inner Mongolia in China, which would certainly break the Japanese position and relieve the pressure on the eastern front. Goniff said.
"Recruitment, you know how many young people we have died now, and if we continue to recruit soldiers, all our young adults in the Soviet Union will be sent to the battlefield. At that time, only children, women, and the elderly will be left in the country, and how can we maintain production and industry, and whether our country will need to develop? And then there's the fact that you're sure that the recruits you recruit will really be able to block the attack of the Japanese Kwantung Army. Let's not talk about the fact that the strength of troops is not a base, and even training is not a grade. You're not the way, you're kidding the lives of those young people. Roxovsky said.
"Okay, don't make any noise. I think Gonif has a point. Instead of pinning your hopes on being fed, it's better to figure it out yourself. I agreed with Goniff's suggestion and immediately began conscription. ”
Stalin could not pull off his grip now, and felt that it was an absolute shame to cede the land. So the strategy proposed by Koniv makes me feel that it works. He didn't believe that the Soviets were so vulnerable that they couldn't stop the Japanese attack.
"Alas......" Roksovsky could only sigh when he saw that Stalin had made up his mind, and secretly prayed in his heart that God would not let the Soviet Union become extinct.
Soon Stalin's order was issued, large-scale recruitment began in the eastern region, and active preparations for war began in Outer Mongolia.
A week later, the Soviet Union recruited 500,000 troops in the eastern offensive, and after three days of short training, those recruits began to take their guns and rushed to the northeast and Sberia 50 kilometers away, where they began to build a defensive line and prepare to fight against the Kwantung Army.
The Soviet troops in Outer Mongolia were also distributed ammunition and began to assemble and set off, opening the front line in Outer Mongolia to prepare for the battle against the troops in the Inner Mongolia region of Japan.
Another three days of preparation, everything is ready. At Stalin's order, Outer Mongolia began to attack the devils.
And the Kwantung Army of the devils also began to rush to the front, counting the Siberian region of the USSR and began to attack the eastern defense line of the USSR.
For a time, the border war between China and the Soviet Union was rekindled, and the Soviet Union and the devils were inseparable from each other. In just one day, the casualties on both sides were very heavy. Over the next few days, fierce battles were fought on both sides almost every day.
"Commander, the Soviet Union has been fighting with the devils on the border for several days, and the devils have not broken through the Soviet defense line, it seems that this time we have lost sight." Chief of Staff Chen said to Chen Jinghui.
"Hehe, Lao Chen, don't be impatient, the battle is still going on, before the result is out, everything is in vain, we still wait patiently, waiting for the final result."
Chen Jinghui seemed very relaxed and did not care about the war situation between the Soviet Union and Japan. Because no matter how the two sides fight, in the end, it will be good for the other side to win. So he now has a sense of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, letting the Soviet Union and Japan die to the death.
"Commander, the situation has changed, and the Soviet troops seem to be a little overwhelmed."
Three days later, Chief of Staff Chen came to Chen Jinghui again and told Chen Jinghui about the battle situation.
"Hehe, don't worry, come and drink tea, don't pay attention to them."
Chen Jinghui looked like he had nothing to do with himself, and he didn't care about the war between the Soviet Union and Japan at all.
However, Stalin and Koniv in the Soviet Union could not sit still. At first, they were still confident slowly, feeling that the Japanese Kwantung Army was nothing more than that, and they could not even break through the defense line of recruits they had trained for three days. However, it was less than a week later, and the Mongolian and Siberian defense lines were in danger of being broken through by Japan.
"Commander, think of a way, the Eastern Front is about to be overwhelmed. We have already lost more than half of our forces defending the Eastern Front. Goniff said.
"If you can't resist it, you have to resist it, now the German army on the Western Front is attacking very fiercely, if the Eastern Front collapses, the Japanese army will drive straight in, forming a situation of east-west flanking against us. Therefore, the Eastern Front must not be lost, and continue to recruit troops to replenish it. Stalin said.
"Commander, all the soldiers that can be recruited in the east have been recruited, and there are no more young adults." Konev said.
"Then recruit from among the women, let them replenish, and the eastern defense line must be held." Stalin said.
"No, recruit women to go up, this is equivalent to a sheep in the mouth of a tiger. Don't you know the virtues of the Japanese and how they treat women in China? We can't let women go up, absolutely not. Roxovsky said.
"Commander, I also don't agree with women going to war, it's too inhumane. But I have no objection to women volunteering to fight. Goniff said.
"No, I'm against it, this is absolutely not okay, women can't be allowed to go up and die." Roxovsky said.
"Enough, now that the survival of the country is in danger, everyone has the obligation to show up for the country. Gonif, go recruit female soldiers to fight. Stalin shouted.
Soon, more than 100,000 women soldiers were recruited in the Soviet Union and began to rush to the front line to fight against the Japanese army. But even then, they only lasted two days, and the defense line was once again in crisis, and it was in danger of being breached at any time.
"Commander, don't hesitate any longer, negotiate with Huaxia immediately, agree to some of their conditions, and let them send troops to contain the Japanese army, otherwise we will really be finished." The eastern line of defense was in danger, and the western line was also in danger, and Rokossovsky again persuaded Stalin.
At this time, Konnif, who had always supported Stalin's decision-making and resisted desperately, stopped speaking and began to stand aside with his head bowed.
"Alright! Agree to their terms, agree to return the Mongol regions to them. But forget about the Tyumen region of Siberia, I will not agree. Stalin said.
The news soon spread to China, and Zhukov immediately found Chen Jinghui to explain Stalin's position, hoping that Chen Jinghui would seriously consider it and send troops to the northeast in time.
However, Chen Jinghui was very resolute, and he had to get Stalin to agree to all his conditions before agreeing to send troops, otherwise he would not care about this matter.
Chen Jinghui was so resolute that Zhukov could not convince Chen Jinghui, so he had to send the news back to China again and let Stalin make a decision.
"What is there in the Tyumen region that makes him hold on to it so much, that he has to control this region for 50 years." Stalin couldn't understand why Chen Jinghui had to go to the Tyumen region. In his impression, the Tyumen region had no resources, and it was in vain to take them.
"Commander, Siberia is originally vast and sparsely populated, and there are not many people in the Tyumen region. And there are no resources in the whole of Siberia at all, we have been surveying these for several years, and nothing has been found. I think that since Chen Jinghui wants this useless place, it is better to give it to him, anyway, it is useless for him to control it. Roxovsky said.
"Commander, now the eastern Siberian defense line can still be held, but the Mongolian region is already at a disadvantage, I'm afraid it won't last for a few days, you better hurry up and get an idea." Koniv also changed his position at this moment and supported the cession of land.
"Alas...... I didn't expect that we, a big Soviet country, would be reduced to the end of ceding land to a weak country, and I was really unwilling. Stalin said.
"Commander, the situation is changing, let's get through the difficulties first. When we are strong, we will take back this shame with interest. Goniff said.
"Alright! Agree to their requests. But I have one more request, and that is to let them impermanently provide us with a batch of winter supplies. Our troops were first in need of supplies and continued to spend the winter with supplies of cotton clothing. Stalin said.
"Commander, I think they will agree to this request, after all, this is not too much." Konev said.
"Commander, this is not a high request, I think General Chen of Huaxia will agree, don't worry!" Roxovsky said.
"Alright! Go and send a report to Zhukov and authorize him to represent the country and sign a contract with Huaxia. At the same time, he telegraphed to the two commanders of Huaxia and asked them to be a witness to prevent that Chen Jinghui from being helpless. Stalin said.
"Yes, I'll do it right away."
Goniv left the Commander-in-Chief's office, informed the two commanders of Stalin's decision, and raised Zhukov to authorize him to represent the country and sign the humiliating agreement.
