, I feel that Chongqing is different from last time, I can't believe it, I have only been away for more than ten days" Hopkins said to Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Meiling in an obviously flattering tone: "As soon as I got off the plane, the sky of Chongqing was filled with an exciting atmosphere. \\、/”

Song Meiling smiled: "That's the case, recently our air force has been attacking Ben, our people have been looking forward to this day for a long time, Mr. Hopkins, today they attacked Fukuoka again, by the way, they went during the day." ”

"I've heard that this is a huge victory for us." As soon as Hopkins got off the plane, he heard that the radio was constantly broadcasting news from the air force, a large number of reporters had gathered in Shandong, and reporters were stationed at almost every airport, and the heat even far exceeded that of the large army gathering to attack eastern Hebei in the northeast.

Chiang Kai-shek never spoke, just silently listened to the conversation between Soong Meiling and Hopkins, he didn't know what the plan Hopkins brought this time, in Mongolia, there was already a small between China and the Soviet Union

Large-scale armed conflict, Wei Lihuang reported, in contact with the Soviet generals, the Soviet generals asked them to withdraw from Mongolia, the Soviet army is gathering in the Bayan area south of Ulaanbaatar, intelligence shows that the Soviet army has gathered about 120,000 troops, in addition to 200,000 Mongolian troops, with some tank troops.

In order to remove the threat of the Soviet army, the 101st Army and the 102nd Army under the 49th Group Army entered Mongolia, and the Fifth Army also approached the Mongolian border.

There was no one else in today's talks, and Hopkins asked for a separate meeting with Chiang Kai-shek, who would be Chiang Kai-shek's successor, as was customary.

"Mr. Hopkins, how is the situation in Moscow?" Chiang Kai-shek felt that they were talking a little far, so he opened his mouth to bring the topic to which he was interested: "I would like to know what Stalin has to say about our proposals. Hopkins secretly laughed in his heart Chiang Kai-shek still couldn't hold his breath, this aspect was much worse than Stalin, but he preferred this, Stalin was too cunning and difficult, he wasted a lot of lips and tongues to persuade him to make concessions, I believe that Chiang Kai-shek should be acceptable.

"Marshal Stalin reacted positively to the chairman's suggestion," Hopkins said as he paid attention to Chiang Kai-shek's expression, and sure enough, Chiang Kai-shek's expression suddenly became a little lighter, and his eyes became more expectant: "Marshal Stalin agreed that the Mongolian question can be left after the war and resolved in accordance with the spirit of the Tehran Conference, and your team can stay in the central and southern parts of the East Gobi Province, as well as the central and southern Sukhbaatar provinces, the western part of the Eastern Province, south of the Hertu River, and the west of the Subesi River, In addition, Russia will assist your country in quelling the rebellion in your Xinjiang region, and Russia recognizes and respects your sovereignty in the northeast. Chiang Kai-shek looked at Soong Meiling with a little disbelief when he heard this, and Soong Meiling's eyes were also full of surprise, and Stalin said that he had fully accepted the conditions put forward by the country last time, and the country now only needs to retreat from the part of the area it had just occupied, how could Stalin make such a big concession at once, Chiang Kai-shek almost rushed out and agreed.

Song Meiling cautiously said to Hopkins: "Mr. Hopkins, to be honest, this surprised us very much, this is almost the condition we put forward last time, I want to know what is the reason for this?" ”

A smile appeared on Hopkins's face: "Madam, we have divided our counteroffensive into three routes, namely the country, the South Seas, and the Soviet Russia: at present, the national battlefield and the South Sea battlefield are tense and smooth, the Soviet army has also launched a counteroffensive against Ben, the Soviet army has counterattacked in two ways, the Mongolian Front has made great progress and expelled the Japanese army from Mongolia, but the progress of the Far Eastern Front on the other road is not large, so Stalin hopes to get your country's cooperation, Stalin promised to respect the Sino-Soviet border, and the government of the United States thinks that this is very suitable." Chiang Kai-shek suddenly realized that some time ago, this radio station announced that the Japanese army and the Manchurian Wehrmacht had repelled the attack of many armies in the Outer Khing'an Mountains, and took advantage of the victory to turn to a counteroffensive, eliminating more than 20,000 Soviet troops. Regardless of whether the Japanese army's announced results are true or false, the Soviet offensive has indeed suffered a setback. After hearing this report at that time, Chiang Kai-shek had a feeling of schadenfreude in his heart, but he did not associate this matter with the Sino-Soviet negotiations, and did not expect that it would lead to a great change in Stalin's attitude.

Hopkins was very sure in his heart, the defeat of the Outer Khing'an Mountains made Stalin understand that Soviet Russia could not support the two battlefields now, and the Japanese army in the Far East was just some old, weak, sick and disabled plus the puppet army of Manchukuo, but Soviet Russia still could not win, which embarrassed Stalin and re-examined the relationship between the rest of the country.

On the other hand, the Chinese side continued to increase its troops to Mongolia, and its attitude was extremely tough, and there was a tendency to not hesitate to fight each other, and Stalin had to worry about the consequences of a complete rupture of Sino-Soviet relations.

Finally, there was the United States, and Roosevelt personally sent a telegram to Stalin, hoping that he would seriously consider Sino-Soviet relations and that it would not affect the summer operations of the allies. Roosevelt's words were tactful, but Stalin was aware of the threat, which was a warning to him that if Sino-Soviet relations broke down, Roosevelt might turn to Churchill's Balkan landing plan and abandon the planned French landing.

For all these reasons, Stalin felt compelled to make concessions. Roosevelt gave the ladder just right, and offered to let the team retreat from the Mongol part.

The United States sent a thousand trucks to Soviet Russia to improve the mechanization capabilities of the Soviet army.

Chiang Kai-shek also heard another meaning, Stalin respected the Sino-Soviet border, and it seems that Stalin was not only worried about the team's entry into Mongolia, but also worried about the team's opportunity to enter the Soviet Russian Far East.

Although the strength of the country cannot catch up with that of Soviet Russia, once the United States and Britain support it, it is entirely possible that the country will not leave there after the war, just like in Mongolia.

"We also respect the Sino-Soviet border" Chiang Kai-shek breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, his expression was obviously relaxed, implying that Hopkins himself had understood the meaning of his words, and the team would not enter the Far East of Soviet Russia: "However, Mr. Hopkins, there is an old saying in the country, the past does not forget the teacher of the future, I want to know, how can Stalin ensure that he will not regret his promise and regenerate such things as Xinjiang?" "The president has already thought about this issue, so he hopes that a memorandum of understanding will be signed between China and the Soviet Union." Hopkins said.

Chiang Kai-shek frowned slightly, he thought for a while and said: "Mr. Hopkins, I must admit that our country does not yet have the strength to confront Soviet Russia head-on, so I hope that the United States can participate in this memorandum." Hopkins secretly cursed in his heart, since he knew that he could not confront Soviet Russia, he still took such a tough position, which almost led to civil strife in the whole alliance. Sighing in his heart, he admired President Roosevelt even more, and Chiang Kai-shek's request was already expected by him.

He smiled slightly: "Of course, what the president means is that the alliance between the United States and the Soviet Union and Russia is not only in the war, but also hopes to continue to maintain it after the war, so as to jointly maintain world peace." Chiang Kai-shek really breathed a sigh of relief, and a comfortable smile appeared on his face: "It would be great if it could be like this, Mr. Hopkins, I sent Foreign Minister Wang Chonghui to negotiate with Soviet Russia on behalf of the Nationalist Government, I don't know where the meeting is located?" Is it Moscow or Chongqing? ”

"Marshal Stalin meant that in Chongqing, the ambassador of the Soviet Russian country would be the negotiator on the Soviet side." Hopkins replied that at this moment he remembered Stalin's expression, and when discussing the place of negotiations, he originally proposed Moscow, because this could give Stalin a little comfort, as if the country was going to seek peace, but Stalin showed disgust, and said very directly that the location was in Chongqing, and let the Soviet Russian ambassador to China serve as a negotiator.

Hopkins believes that this is because Stalin touched the head of the country and lost face on the national issue, Stalin has always looked down on Chiang Kai-shek, and he also looks down on the country, but he has lost face here, which makes him very angry in his heart, not only does he not want to see the countrymen, but even the country does not want to hear about it.

Chiang Kai-shek didn't think much about it, and immediately nodded in agreement. The Sino-Soviet problem, which lasted nearly half a year, was finally resolved, which made Chiang Kai-shek feel as easy as letting go of a huge rock, and he rarely lifted a water bottle with his own hands to add water to Hopkins.

"The settlement of the Sino-Soviet question has cleared the way for us to defeat Ben as soon as possible" Hopkins began to compliment Chiang Kai-shek: "Mr. Chairman, this requires great foresight and firm confidence from you and Marshal Stalin. The president asked me to relay a word to Zhou. "Please." Chiang Kai-shek smiled and made a hand nose.

"The President asked me to tell you that he understands your feelings very well, but now our priority is to defeat myself, and on this premise, to endure some temporary difficulties."

Chiang Kai-shek nodded with a serious expression: "Please convey to President Roosevelt for me, thank you very much for his support." After the Sino-Soviet issue is resolved, we can concentrate all our forces to advance eastward and recover the northeast.

Put down the rebellion in Xinjiang and promote national construction. Mr. Hopkins, we recently held a main election in 16 counties around Chongqing, which was an unprecedented success, and after accumulating experience, the national government will implement it throughout the country. The United States sent observers to observe the whole process of the elections in the 16 counties of Chongqing, and the observers reported to the State Department that the attempt to hold the main election was relatively successful on the whole, and that the victory of the Kuomintang in all 16 counties could strengthen Chiang Kai-shek's determination to implement the main election throughout the country.

Hopkins still remembers the report he saw in the embassy: "This is a land that lacks the Lord, in the history of this country for 2,000 years, there has never been a master gene, due to the implementation of compulsory education, the sixteen counties around Chongqing are considered to have the highest level of education in this ancient country, but there are still not many people who really understand the Lord, there are many problems in this election, both the Kuomintang and the main party participating in the election have violated the rules, but despite this, this move also proves the determination of the National Government to implement the Lord, which is worth encouraging...... …。 ”

"I have heard Ambassador Gauss present" Hopkins very much agreed with the observer's report, and he said to Chiang Kai-shek very sincerely: "Mr. Chairman, I am well aware of the difficulty of holding a presidential election in your country, and that it will take more courage and wisdom to carry out political reform, and it is by no means more difficult than defeating myself. ”！。 @s
