Germany's millions of troops crushed the Soviet Union all the way, and the Soviet army paid a very heavy price at the beginning of the war, which made Stalin very clear about the true combat effectiveness of the Soviet army. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The strength of the troops is not superior, the quality of the soldiers is not as good as the Axis armies, not to mention weapons and technology, in this case, the Soviet Union, if it wants to rely on its own strength, it is already impossible to defeat the invasion of the Axis countries alone.

Therefore, Stalin accepted Zhukov's suggestion, and he immediately appointed the Soviet ambassador to Britain and the United States as special envoys to ask for help from British Prime Minister Churchill and US President Roosevelt respectively.

The British and American leaders soon met with the senior officials sent by the Soviet Union, and they learned that the Soviet Union was in a real situation at this time, and that the Soviet Union was unable to organize effective resistance under the blitzkrieg of the German army.

The Soviet Union could not withstand the German blitzkrieg at all, it was almost a one-sided battle, and if Britain and the United States did not pay attention to the Soviet Union at this time, the Soviet Union would not be able to hold out for several months.

Both Churchill and Roosevelt sensed that it would be too late to say anything after Germany had completely defeated the Soviet Union, and that the Soviet Union would have to be aided now.

The leaders of Britain and the United States knew that once Germany eliminated the Soviet Union and the Axis powers obtained the Soviet Union's inexhaustible mineral resources, the next step for the Axis powers would be to turn around and sweep through Britain and the United States.

Don't Anglo-American understand the truth of cold lips and teeth? Of course, I understand, don't think that the heads of capitalist countries are idiots, that's the flower-growers who are bragging.

It's just that these imperialist countries have their own little abacus, and they can help the Soviet Union, but now it is impossible to directly send troops to fight against Germany, and Germany has not yet lost both sides with the Soviet Union at this time.

When the leaders of Britain and the United States received a request for help from the Soviet Union, they all thought of using weapons and equipment to aid the Soviet Union, arm the Soviet Union on the weaker side, and let them fight with Germany to lose both.

So when is it most advantageous for Britain and the United States to send troops to war? Of course, when Germany and the Soviet Union were both defeated and exhausted, the best-case scenario was for the last Axis soldier to kill the last Soviet soldier.

Then Britain and the United States would send one army from each country to eliminate the only remaining Axis soldiers, so that Britain and the United States could divide the fruits of victory, of course, this was only the good wishes of the two imperialist countries, Britain and the United States.

Nine days after the outbreak of the Soviet-German war, the leaders of Churchill and Roosevelt held an Atlantic Conference on May 30, 1941, aboard the USS Augusta in the Agin Haguesha Gulf, Newfoundland, in the northern Atlantic Ocean, and signed the Atlantic Charter.

The document contained eight articles in its entirety, declaring that the two countries would not pursue territorial or other expansion, and would not recognize territorial changes caused by the Axis powers through aggression.

Respect for the right of peoples to choose their form of government, the restoration of the sovereignty of peoples deprived by violence, equal treatment of all nations in trade and raw materials, the most comprehensive economic cooperation among all nations, the re-establishment of peace after the destruction of the Nazi tyranny, freedom of navigation on the high seas, the abolition of the use of force to reduce armaments and the disarmament of the aggressor countries.

The purpose of the war against the Axis countries and the goal of rebuilding the post-war period set forth in the Atlantic Charter embodied the general principles of bourgeois democratic politics and played a positive role in the formation of an international united front against the Axis powers.

However, the contents of "equal opportunity" and "freedom of the sea" were conducive to the United States competing with Britain for spheres of influence after the war and achieving a "leading position" in the world.

The Atlantic Charter also reflected the contradiction between Britain and the United States in competing for colonial interests. Relying on its economic strength, the United States has strongly emphasized the principles of "equal opportunities" and "freedom of the sea" in its charter.

This reflected the mood of the United States to compete for British colonies, and the essence of the Atlantic Charter was the political alliance between Britain and the United States on the basis of the anti-Axis powers.

Stalin, of course, most hoped for such an anti-Axis alliance, and the Soviet Union was now precarious and crumbling, and if Britain and the United States did not lend a helping hand and directly enter the war, the Soviet Union would not be able to stop the German steel torrent at all, and it would not even be possible to drag the war into the cold winter.

Under these circumstances, Stalin hurriedly stated that he fully agreed with and supported the Atlantic Charter.

As soon as the Atlantic Charter was signed, Churchill was eager to convene a conference in London, England, on May 1, 41, with the participation of the United States, Great Britain, the Soviet Union, Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Yugoslavia, Poland (in exile), Czechoslovakia (in exile), Greece (in exile), Norway and France.

A total of 21 countries and territories have joined the Atlantic Charter organization, also known as the Atlantic Alliance. In fact, the Atlantic Charter has become an alliance treaty for these countries.

At this time, the United States still did not declare war on the Axis powers, because the Lend-Lease Act made American arms dealers rich, and also allowed the United States to come out of the shadows, and this "Atlantic Charter" put the United States on the podium.

The United States stepping on the rostrum does not mean that the United States will immediately declare war and enter the war, the United States will definitely make a comprehensive evaluation, and in that case it will profit the most, and at that time, the United States will declare war and enter the war, which is determined by the nature of the United States, a capitalist country.

At least the United States has expressed its clear position against the Axis powers, which is what Churchill wants, and Churchill also knows that it is absolutely unrealistic to ask the United States to send troops to fight Germany now, and Churchill is relieved.

It was necessary to give support weapons and ammunition to the Soviet Union, and even the stingy United States became very generous at this time, directly giving Stalin P40 combat aircraft of one aviation division and tanks of two armored divisions.

Stalin didn't care whether the American planes were taken to the battlefield of the Soviet Union for testing, as long as they were weapons and equipment, Stalin would not refuse to come.

It was convenient for Britain to send weapons and ammunition to the Soviet Union through the North Sea, and Churchill also donated a large amount of weapons and ammunition to the Soviet Union in order to keep Stalin along.

U.S. aid to the Soviet Union was sent to Vladivostok in Siberia through the Bering Strait, and then to Moscow via the Trans-Soviet Trans-Siberian Railway.

British aid to the Soviet Union was vulnerable to a sneak attack by German submarines, while American aid to the Soviet Union was much safer, and German submarines were simply not able to fight in the Bering Strait.

No matter how powerful the German submarines were, no matter how the German air force bombed, Britain and the United States had strong industrial manufacturing capabilities, and as long as the Soviet Union was willing to fight Germany to the death, Britain and the United States would have countless weapons and equipment assistance to the Soviet Union.

The war was fought on the territory of the Soviet Union, and it was the Soviet Union that was broken, and it was Germany and the Soviets who died, and Britain and the United States only needed to aid the Soviet Union with some weapons and equipment to achieve their strategic goals, so why not Britain and the United States!
