Section 645 Land for Peace
US Ambassador Colin Powell was quite surprised, and Yang Chao, who has always been strong, lowered his profile much this time and asked him whether it was possible to reach a settlement with Soviet Russia. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Yang Chao's reason was his wife, Tsar Origa didn't want to see the dead anymore, she was tormented by her soul every day, and Yang Chao couldn't bear to see his wife haggard.
This reason was also acceptable to Powell, and at present the tsarist army was still attacking, and the Soviet army was only stubbornly resisting by relying on the defense of Teschet.
The information Powell received was that the Soviet army was planning to drag it out this winter, because they were developing more advanced fighters and tanks in China, using Chinese-made tanks as combat objects, comprehensively optimizing them, and developing weapons and equipment whose performance could suppress Chinese tanks and aircraft.
The biggest disadvantage of the Soviet army at present is indeed that the air force and tanks do not have an advantage, and the tanks are good to say, although they can't beat the Chinese tanks head-on, but they are fast, and the air force is completely backward, no matter how they compare, the I series aircraft made of wood is not the opponent of China's all-metal high-horsepower aircraft.
But Powell is still not very optimistic about the Soviet army, their front is too long, across thousands of miles to fight with the tsarist army near Irkutsk, as well as China as a base, it is simply challenging the impossible, Powell predicts that even if it drags on until next year, the Soviet army's better aircraft and tanks will not be able to achieve absolute superiority, after all, in terms of research and development capabilities, the Chinese are actually not bad.
And in terms of comprehensive strength, of course Soviet Russia is stronger, this war, to put it bluntly, is that Starling is fighting Yang Chao alone with the two strongmen, Stalin's country is of course very strong, but Yang Chao has endless wealth, and there is no shortage of mercenaries in the world, especially during this big crisis, how many people are psychologically distorted, can't see hope, and are full of violence, whoever recruits them they will go, just because of him. So far, nearly 100,000 Americans have signed up for the Tsar Order, and not even a tenth of them really love the Tsar and are loyal to the Tsar. The remaining ninety percent of the people are not just for eating, but because they can't see the future, they belong to crazy venting.
As long as the great crisis continues, such people will emerge in an endless stream. Yang Chao can recruit without limit if he has money, so the war will not be lost, but Yang Chao is now seeking peace, if it weren't for his famous stupid white sweet wife, Powell wouldn't know how to explain it.
"Of course it's just a truce, and we must not accept anyone's encroachment on our territory."
Yang Chao's addition is very much in line with Powell's understanding of him, obviously Yang Chao has not given up fighting with Soviet Russia, but his wife is really difficult to accept the dead.
"His Majesty's kindness to the Tsar is truly touching. I think that Soviet Russia must have felt the kindness of His Majesty the Tsar. ”
Powell laughed, full of contempt for that kind of woman, and women are not material for politics. At the same time, he is quite disdainful of Yang Chao who is so accustomed to his wife, so he won't learn from Victorian British politicians? Starting a war all over the world in the name of the empress is what a great statesman should do, Yang Chaokong has a good hand, but he will take care of his personal feelings, which is really too capricious.
But it's related to him, he's a diplomat, and he's going to serve only the interests of the United States.
And the truce between Soviet Russia and the tsar, of course, is in the interests of the United States, because in that case. Russia will be able to spend more money on American equipment, instead of spending money on this boring war.
Obviously, Powell does not know much about the economic model of Soviet Russia, and the whole world cannot understand it, and Yang Chao probably understands it the most.
This economic model of Soviet Russia. Internally, there was public ownership, private property was only theoretical, and if necessary, Staling could take everything from everyone at any time, and of course he would risk his downfall.
It is more appropriate to understand Soviet Russia with a company, which needs to be imported. It will always be what they cannot produce, and even if they don't fight the war, they will only be unable to produce it, and even with the end of the war, they will free up their productive capacity to produce their own machinery and equipment, and the import volume will be reduced.
Of course, the United States can promote peace between Soviet Russia and the tsar through politics, so as to gain political influence in Soviet Russia, in that case, it can allow Soviet Russia to hand over a large number of machinery and equipment orders to the United States.
Powell's report soon reached the United States, and then the United States secretly communicated with Soviet Russia, which put forward an unacceptable condition.
Soviet Russia demanded a truce on the basis of the current Line of Actual Control, and the Soviet army would definitely not retreat.
The current line of control is bounded by Teschet, with the Tsar's territory to the east and Soviet Russia to the west.
This means that the tsar lost ninety percent of the territory, especially the Siberian economic heartland including Novosibirsk, Omsk and Tomsk, and if they lost here, the economy of the tsarist regime would have no source, after all, only one Irkutsk was a decent city, and this city, in the past, was still maintained by iron ore in Tomsk and coal in Omsk, and once these regions were lost, Irkutsk's economy would go bankrupt.
Russia's occupation of the most valuable mineral sources in Western Siberia, especially the Tyumen oil fields and the Tomsk iron ore mines, would raise Russia's economic power to a new level, and these two resources alone would provide a third of their industrialization funds, and if they did it properly, they might even provide all of them.
The Americans felt that Soviet Russia was crazy, and it was impossible for Yang Chao to agree to this condition, but they felt that they underestimated the benevolence of the female tsar, or underestimated their husband and wife feelings.
Teschet is a city of little economic value, in the past it was just a link between the economic center of Novosibirsk and Irkutsk, but now the economic center is lost, and it has no value.
Stalin, of course, accepted this condition, and immediately reciprocated, and the representatives of the two sides began to contact, and under the mediation of the Americans, they secretly negotiated in Washington, and soon reached an agreement, a ceasefire agreement, and the two sides decided to cease fire with the Line of Actual Control as the border, not to attack each other, for a period of 5 years.
Obviously, both sides are buying time, Soviet Russia needs 5 years to complete the industrial plan, and the tsar also needs 5 years to recover, and the representatives of both sides think so, at least so Russian thinks.
The Russians thought they had won a great victory, and Stalin happily entertained his henchmen, but his mood soon turned bad, as Kirov's prestige in the party became more and more threatening. (To be continued.) )
