Lubei attracted Chongqing, Tokyo, and even Washington, which is far away from the ocean, and Moscow, which is thousands of miles away, Hirohito stared nervously at Dexian, Roosevelt looked with interest at the north bank of the Yellow River filled with gunsmoke, and Stalin, who had just recovered from Kursk, was smoking a pipe and temporarily turned his gaze from the west to the east. Full/Ben\Small/Say\Net

The tall and majestic walls of the Kremlin, the grand medieval palaces, the streets of Moscow are relatively empty and crowded, and the areas near the city border, as well as the houses destroyed by artillery fire, the municipal authorities do not have the time and manpower to tidy them up.

From the beginning of the war, the lights were rarely turned off in the office of the Kremlin's master, the heart of this vast empire, which his master managed across Europe and Asia.

The news from the east made Stalin very excited, and at the same time there was a trace of worry, now he had no need to worry about the Japanese army continuing to attack, the Chinese and the Americans had firmly pinned them down, but with the victory of the Chinese country, another hidden concern resurfaced, the ancient problem.

In 1919, the civil war in Soviet Russia, the then Xu Shichang government took the opportunity to send troops into the ancient Soviet Union to recover the ancient Soviet Union, in 1920, the upper class nobles of the ancient Chinese colluded with the Soviet Union to become independent again, the Beiyang government at that time announced that it would not be recognized, in 1928, the people were charged to set off a movement to return to China, which was brutally suppressed by the Soviet Russian garrison. Choibalsan defected to Soviet Russia, and since then Méng has become a vassal state of Soviet Russia that has not joined Soviet Russia; In the international community, only Japan recognizes the ancient government of Méng.

From the report of the embassy in China, Stalin had a clear understanding of what was happening in China, and he believed that the Chinese army had turned the war around, and that "the battle on the north bank of the Yellow River would end in the victory of the Chinese army."

"Comrade Vasilev": Do you understand the current situation in China? Stalin put the report in his hand on the table and looked up at Vasilev.

Vasilev was tall and a head taller than Stalin"He is currently the deputy of the General Staff of Marshal Shabōshnikov, but due to Shabōshnikov's long-term illness, he is actually in charge of the work of the General Staff.

"In view of the fact that both the Méng Ancient Front and the Far Eastern Front have reported that, on the basis of reconnaissance and information from the Chinese side, Japan has transferred a large number of troops from the Méng and the Far East to the interior of the Middle East, and in view of this situation, Comrade Apanashchenko proposed to launch an offensive campaign in the Méng region "with the aim of recovering the Méng region." ”

Apanashchenko was the commander of the Méng Ancient Front, and Soviet Russia had 220,000 troops in this direction, in addition to about 80,000 Méng ancient soldiers, these troops were seriously lacking in technical weapons, there was only one brigade of tanks, very few heavy artillery, mainly mortars and 70-mountain artillery "There were also very few aircraft, and most of the weapons of Soviet Russia were consumed in the Soviet-German battlefield.

"The commander of the Far Eastern Front, General Pulkaev, also demanded a response to Ustinyuk. The General Staff is deliberating on how much supplies would need to be mobilized to launch such an offensive, and there is now a serious shortage of supplies in the Far East and in the ancient capital of Méng. ”

Compared with the Méng Ancient Front, the Far Eastern Front had a slightly larger number of troops, no more than 300,000, but the front was much wider" and there was also a serious lack of technical weapons, the Méng Ancient Front had a tank brigade anyway, and the Far Eastern Front did not even have a tank at all.

Stalin was silent, put his pipe in his mouth, and paced back and forth in the room, quickly calculating in his heart "The Soviet army has turned to a counteroffensive in Kursk, the Western Front and the Bryansk Front are capturing Orel and Belgorod, and the situation of the Southwestern Front is a little more complicated" The stubborn resistance of the German army has slowed down the progress of the Soviet army" The battle in the Belgorod area showed that "the German army still has a strong strength, and our main attention is still on the western front, but since there are fighters on the eastern front, Nor should we give up, I think that we can launch a limited offensive in Ménggu, see how weak the Japanese himself is, and you can arrange to provide some supplies to the east to ensure the victory of the offensive campaign, which will be our first victory in the east. ”

Stalin's tone was firm and powerful, and his left hand waved slightly at the same time, indicating that he was confident in the victory of this battle.

Vasilevsky hurriedly nodded and agreed, in the system of Soviet Russia, since Stalin has decided, the General Staff can only implement it, of course, there are not no people who dare to argue with Stalin, Zhukov is one, but he Vasilevsky is not Zhukov.

After Vasilevsky left, Stalin returned to his desk, picked up another document and looked at it, this was a document sent by the People's Commissariat for Foreign Affairs, this was a memorandum, Roosevelt and Churchill proposed to Stalin that they wanted to meet as soon as possible to coordinate the military-political actions of the two sides.

After the Cairo Conference, Roosevelt sent a special envoy to Moscow to inform him of the spirit of the Cairo Conference, and Stalin accepted the decision of the Cairo Conference in principle, but he was also dissatisfied. Finally, and most crucially, the question of méng, which was not discussed at the Cairo Conference. Stalin believed that Méng Gu should be as independent as North Korea and recognized by the world.

His dissatisfaction soon reached Washington, and the memorandum was Roosevelt's reply, suggesting that a four-nation summit be convened in Baghdad or Tehran to coordinate the strategy and strategy among the allies. In view of the current situation in China, I suggest that this meeting should be attended by General **, which is an important force in the fight against Japanese fascism and in maintaining world peace after the war. ””

Stalin understood that this was Roosevelt's response to his repeated hints that China was not yet qualified to be on an equal footing with the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union, and of course Stalin did not want to participate, and there was an important problem, which was the ancient question.

However, now a change was needed, and Stalin marked a few words in the blank: "Agreed, proposed in Tehran, Approx., Vestalin." ”

After putting down the papers, Stalin rang the electric bell, the adjutant pushed the door in, and Stalin said to him: "Comrade Beria, please." ”

Beria, the most terrifying man in Soviet Russia, controlled the whole of Soviet Russia under his KGB, and the whole of Soviet Russia, that is, only Stalin could calmly face him and call him like a dog. It took only five minutes for the KGB to arrive from the building of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and no one in the whole of Soviet Russia dared to make Stalin wait for a long time.

"Comrade Beria, after Sheng Shicai arrived in Chongqing" What is the situation of Comrade Ahmatjan and Eli Khan? ”

Ahmatjan and Ali Khan are the ethnic leaders of the Ili region of Xinjiang, and Soviet Russia has not only the ancient issue but also the Xinjiang issue in China. The origin of the Xinjiang issue can be traced back to the twenties, when Soviet Russia began to intervene in Xinjiang, and in the thirties, it instigated a rebellion in the Ahsan region, and during the period of the prosperous period, Soviet Russia took the opportunity to expand its influence in Tacheng, Ashan, Ili and other areas, and through the members of the Communist Party and the Uyghur ethnic elements in Xinjiang, it "gained the right to rule these regions, and even established a paramilitary force."

"Their situation is developing very well, after the army entered Xinjiang, the army of the former Sheng Shicai is being transferred out of Xinjiang one after another, and the government of the Chinese country has transferred the Sichuan Army and the Central Army to Xinjiang, the situation is more favorable to us, the army is very scattered, and after the outbreak of the war, the supplies we provided to Comrade Ahmatjiang stopped."

Beria looked at Stalin as he spoke, and saw that Stalin's brows were slightly furrowed, which showed that he had a decision in his heart that was difficult to make: "Beria understands that this decision must be aimed at China."

"Germany has pinned down our strength, and we cannot do anything in the Far East," Stalin said, "the Japanese army has occupied Méng, and there is a possibility that the Chinese army will attack Ménggu, and we must prevent this from happening."

Beria immediately understood what Stalin wanted to do, and he said calmly: "Yes" Comrade Stalin, ** expropriated violently in Xinjiang, causing the anger of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang "I am worried that there will be violence in Xinjiang, and I propose to resume the supply of supplies to Comrade Ahmatjan" to arm them as soon as possible so that they can have the strength to protect themselves. ”

Stalin nodded and added: "From the current point of view, the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army is still very strong, and it is difficult to achieve results by their own strength, so I propose to transfer one regiment of infantry from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, another tank regiment, and one flying regiment to the Sino-Russian border." ”

"I understand." Beria knew Stalin's intentions: "I think something will happen in Xinjiang next spring. ”

Stalin calculated that he had just decided to meet with Roosevelt Churchill in Tehran in the fall, and that Xinjiang should remain calm until then, and if the results of the Tehran meeting were not satisfactory, then something should happen in Xinjiang.

In Tokyo, autumn is already beginning, and in Ueno's parks, the paths are paved with fallen leaves, and in previous years, many people always came here to watch chrysanthemums, but this year there are few tourists, and only a few women with parasols wander around the park. The vast majority of Tokyo's residents now participate in military training, both men and women, who are over 16 and not over 50, to pick up a wooden gun and participate in military training organized by the community.

The atmosphere in Tokyo has been obviously abnormal recently, in the past, the imperial army swept the world, and the newspapers were full of victorious news, but in recent times, the news in the newspapers was full of news about the transfer and jade shattering, the imperial army moved from Wuhan to Zhengzhou, then to Xinxiang, and now it has been transferred to Shijiazhuang.

The battle situation in northern Lubei was in crisis, and Hirohito was anxious, so he put a huge map in the room, marking the latest progress on the map every day, watching the blue sè arrows on the map continue to move north, and the red sè arrows struggling in the encirclement of the blue sè.

In the base camp, the battle situation in northern Lubei has silenced all the opponents of Ishihara Wan'er, but Ishihara Wan'er still feels that it is difficult to make it difficult to achieve it, for the simple reason that although these officers no longer oppose it openly, they are still secretly obstructing his decision.

"Your Majesty, General Manager, now we have to make a choice, do we want North China or Jiangnan?" At the joint meeting of the Imperial Front, although Ishihara Wanji walked up to Hirohito and Koiso Kuniaki to ask questions, his eyes were fixed on Sugiyama Moto.

If you want North China, you must give up Jiangnan, and all the Jiangnan troops will be transported to North China, even Manchuria: if you want Jiangnan, you must give up North China, and Ishihara Waner has already concluded that the Shandong operation has failed, and it would be good if half of the troops participating in the battle in northern Lu could come back. In the next step, North China is seriously short of troops, where will the supplementary troops come from?
