Section 1 Tehran XV

Russia assumed the main responsibility in the war, and it should recover what Russia had lost, such as Arthur lost in the Russo-Japanese War, the Middle East Road lost in this war, Japan's right to operate the South Manchurian Railway should be transferred to Russia, Dalian should be opened as an international port, and Russia should enjoy priority. ”

As soon as Stalin's conditions were exported, Roosevelt knew that it was bad, and with Chiang Kai-shek's attitude, he would never accept such conditions, and Stalin's conditions showed that Stalin had fully withdrawn the promise expressed the day before yesterday that Manchuria was Chinese territory.

Rothfar's position was not met, Churchill was not his business, he was indifferently smoking his cigar, Stalin was casually filling his pipe, and there was a suffocating silence in the meeting.

"Yesterday, I said to Chairman Chiang Kai-shek that Soviet Russia is our ally, and that the Mongolian question can be resolved through negotiation between China and the Soviet Union, Mr. Stalin," Roosevelt said in a very slow tone, he was guessing what Stalin really wanted, and it was obvious that when Stalin made these demands, he should have taken into account that China would never agree, and this was a choice between Britain and the United States between China and the Soviet Union, of course, for the time being, Britain and the United States needed Soviet Russia more, but in the Asian theater, Britain and the United States also needed China.

"Regarding the Middle East Road, Lushun Dalian, and South Manchuria, I still suggest that you negotiate directly with the chairman." Roosevelt avoided the choice, and for the time being he could not see Stalin's intentions.

"Why?" Stalin slyly asked: "Can China still oppose what our three major powers have decided?" ”

Churchill secretly scolded this insatiable polar bear in his heart, Roosevelt thought and he thought, originally he did not plan to intervene in the Sino-Soviet dispute, at this time he thought clearly, if China was contained by Soviet Russia after the war, it would not be able to estimate Southeast Asia and South Asia, and the pressure on the British Empire would be much greater.

"Post-war peace in the Far East needs to be planned out now," Churchill did not immediately support Stalin, and he weighed the wording: "There is no doubt that China played a great role in the war, but the role of Russia cannot be ignored, either now or after the war. ”

When Stalin heard this, he smiled kindly at Churchill, but Roosevelt remained unmoved: "Mr. Prime Minister, this will seriously damage the feelings and interests of our other ally, and the Chairman of the Committee has told me that he does not want the scene at the Paris Peace Conference to be repeated, and I also do not want this scene to be repeated, China has shown its strength in this war, and anyone who underestimates this power will be punished." ”

History is changing silently, China's strength in the war, let Roosevelt more aware that post-war Asia, and even the world, need China's participation, his hint is very strong, Japan did not once think that China is poor and weak, but China alone resisted Japan for four years, as a result, Japan not only did not conquer China, but was dragged into the quagmire of a long war, you Stalin do not repeat the mistakes of Japan.

Stalin understood, and he smiled contemptuously: "Mr. President, China is a scattered country that cannot handle its own problems well, and our three major powers can decide all the problems of the world today. ”

Roosevelt frowned, he thought about it, and still shook his head resolutely: "Mr. Stalin, China is also our ally, and the post-war peace in the Far East is based on the elimination of Japanese militarism and justice between the allies. ”

Roosevelt finally kept his promise to Chiang Kai-shek, and Stalin's face remained calm, and he stood up and paced slowly along the round table, saying as he went: "Judging by the war, Russia has paid a great price for our common cause, and we have the right to demand what we deserve." We must tell the Russian people what they have left behind for posterity after all these sacrifices. ”

Churchill let out a puff of smoke: "Well said, what are we British people fighting for?" In order to make the colonial and semi-colonial peoples independent after the war? Or something else? ”

Stalin was a little stunned, he didn't expect Churchill to come forward to refute, he quickly countered: "No, this has nothing to do with the colonies and semi-colonies, this is how we explain to the Russian people whether they can get back what they were robbed by the Japanese back then." As for what we will do after we get it back, whether we will continue to operate it or return it to China for conquest, we will negotiate with China to settle it. ”

Strong words, Roosevelt scolded in his heart, he leaned back slightly, his fingers tapped lightly on the table, and at the same time shook his head slightly: "Mr. Stalin, the purpose of our war is to liberate all oppressed peoples, not to divide interests, Mr. Stalin, the Cairo Declaration once announced to the colonial and semi-colonial peoples that we support their freedom to elect **, and your decision overturns the Cairo Declaration, which I cannot accept." ”

The biggest difference between the previous life and this life is that in the previous life, Japan did not attack Soviet Russia, China was extremely weak, and Roosevelt could only ask Soviet Russia to send troops in order to defeat Japan as soon as possible, but this life is different, no matter what choice Stalin makes, he must fight against Japan, in addition, China is the biggest variable, with the combat effectiveness shown by China, even without the participation of Soviet Russia, Roosevelt is still confident to defeat Japan.

Churchill's careless remark aroused Roosevelt's vigilance, and if he had promised Stalin, Churchill would have concocted the same method, and the mΓ©n that had been easily opened to disintegrate the huge colonies of the British Empire would be closed again, which he would never accept.

"Mr. Stalin," Roosevelt's tone became a little colder, "our meeting is to discuss how to defeat Hitler's Germany, and about the situation in the Asian theater, we can discuss it at tomorrow's meeting." ”

Roosevelt's attitude was very resolute, but Stalin's attitude was even more resolute, he shook his head very resolutely: "Mr. President, this has nothing to do with the European battlefield, defeating Japan, you should return to all countries what Japan plundered from various countries, Manchuria to China, Taiwan, Penghu, Ryukyu, return to China, Singapore, Burma, Malaysia to Britain, so why can't what Japan plundered from Russia return to Russia?" ”

The meeting fell silent again, Stalin's attitude was so tough, Roosevelt felt a little frustrated in his heart, feeling that he had been too obedient to Stalin before, he bit the cigarette stick and did not make a sound, Churchill glanced at Stalin out of the corner of his eye, Stalin stood next to his seat, quietly chōu his pipe, as if waiting for Roosevelt's answer.

"I agree with Mr. President," Churchill said, taking his cigar in his hand and looking at Stalin, "in the war against Japan, the attitude of China is of paramount importance, and by far they have eliminated the most Japanese, who are the closest to Japan." "Mr. Stalin, I oppose China's claims against Mongolia, and I hope that after the war, Mongolia will be jointly administered by China, the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union, and after a period of time, say two or three years, the Mongolian people will vote on it." Roosevelt said, "In the same way, I oppose your claim to the Northeast. ”

"Mr. Stalin, we cannot exclude China, you think that China is weak now, but you also said that sooner or later China will become strong, and once he becomes strong, it will be very disadvantageous to your country." There was a hint of exhortation in Roosevelt's words, but Stalin remained unmoved: "Mr. President, the future will be solved for our next generation, and we will only do what we need to do now." ”

"But we also have a responsibility to China," Roosevelt decided to take a tough line, telling Stalin in no uncertain terms: "I cannot support your claims to the Northeast." Stalin originally thought that Britain and the United States needed Soviet Russia in the European theater, but he didn't expect Roosevelt's attitude to be so tough, he felt a little embarrassed, and now he couldn't get off the stage, he silently returned to his seat and didn't say anything.

The meeting fell silent again, the meeting stuck, and only a few smoking guns were burning, emitting puffs of smoke. Hopkins whispered Harriman to Roosevelt to him, Roosevelt nodded expressionlessly, indicating that he knew, but he was very shocked in his heart, he understood that his attitude on the Mongolian issue made Chiang Kai-shek vigilant, and now he could not make concessions to Stalin, which was related to post-war Sino-US relations. Roosevelt thought about breaking the silence, suggested that the meeting be adjourned for the time being, and the meeting resumed after fifteen minutes, and the delegations of the three countries left the conference room, and Churchill naturally walked to Roosevelt's side, and the two chatted, and Roosevelt told him the news he had received.

Churchill nodded expressionlessly, this is a serious signal, Stalin can break the meeting, Chiang Kai-shek can also break the meeting.

Fifteen minutes passed quickly, and the heads of state of the three countries sat down at the conference table again, and Roosevelt was the first to speak, and he decided to give Stalin a step: "Mr. Stalin, we still have time to lay down the rules of the Far East, and I think we should go back to the original track and continue to discuss the war against Germany." ”

After fifteen minutes of thought, Stalin felt that it was impossible to achieve his goal today, so he nodded in agreement. This meeting was actually about the distribution of the interests of the three countries to Europe, and the combat cooperation was secondary.

Stalin and Churchill once again quarreled over Poland, a very sensitive issue. In 1939, Britain and France declared war on Germany for Poland, and the Polish government in exile was also in London. But Stalin could never accept the Polish government in exile, because of the massacre in the Kahall forest, the Polish government in exile had broken with Soviet Russia. The Casterium Forest Massacre refers to the massacre of approximately 50,000 Polish officers in the Castehall Forest in Belarus. After the German invasion of Soviet Russia, the Germans found about 50,000 corpses in Polish military uniforms in the Casterium Forest, all of them with their hands tied behind their backs, apparently slaughtered. Germany declared that it had been massacred by Soviet Russia, and Soviet Russia retorted that it was the work of the Germans. The Polish government-in-exile offered to have the Swiss Red Cross inspect it, and the Russians reacted by severing all ties with the Polish government-in-exile.

The whole world knows that this was done by Soviet Russia.
