Yosuke Matsuoka shook his head and said, "Mr. President, I think you should remember that it was the Soviet side that made a request for peace talks to the Japanese Empire, right?" Now in danger is the Soviet Union, and the secret weapon that the Chinese are studying is also to be used against the Soviet Red Army! ”

Stalin handed the lead jar to Pavlov for collection, and then slowly took out a carved pipe from his pocket, filled it with shredded tobacco, lit it with a coarse match, and spewed out a fragrant blue smoke. After a moment of silence as if in contemplation, he looked at Matsuoka Yosuke with a subtle and ruthless eye: "I have recently received a lot of reports on the construction of China's heavy industry, and in 1932 they produced 3.6 million tons of steel!" It is estimated that it will exceed 4 million tons this year, and it will be able to catch up with the Soviet Union by 1936 at the latest...... And how many tons of steel do you have in Japan? Two million tons! Just two million tons! And there are no plans for a large-scale expansion of production, which means that by 1936 China will have three times as much steel as Japan, and by 38 it will be four times as much as Japan! And China's population is almost seven times that of Japan...... If the Far East does not have the power of the Soviet Union, what will you use to maintain the balance with China? Even if you get the entire Far East from the USSR, the Chinese can snatch it away with their absolute superiority! In the end, you won't get anything! Even North Korea could be lost, and now North Korea seems to have armed forces supported by the Chinese, right? I don't quite understand what you Japan think, and in such an extremely dangerous situation, our two countries should not hurry up and join forces. ”

Yosuke Matsuoka nodded: "Actually, I'm here for this. As he spoke, he took out a document from his purse and put it in front of Stalin: "The empire wants the land of North Sakhalin (North Sakhalin), south of the Amur River and east of the Ussuri River. ”

Stalin pushed away the material that Matsuoka Yosuke had placed in front of him with the back of his hand: "Well, I agreed!" Can we sign the Soviet-Japanese Pact right away? ”

Matsuoka Yosuke looked at Stalin with some surprise, he never thought that the other party would agree to cede 200,000 square kilometers of rich territory so easily! As for the question raised by the other side of the signing of the "Soviet-Japanese Pact," he was also unexpected. In fact, the Japanese Government did not seriously consider the question of peace talks with Stalin. Only because the Soviet side sent secret envoys. They sent Matsuoka to Moscow with the mentality of trying it out. All Japan wants is a "secret truce" with the Soviet army on the Ussuriysk line, and its demand for land south of the Amur River is nothing more than an exorbitant price. As for the piece of uranium oxide, it was entrusted by Nagata Tetsuyama to bring it to Moscow and hand it over to Stalin, to test whether he could join forces with the Soviet Union to study the use of uranium to make weapons...... During this time, China's large-scale investment had already made Nagata Tetsuyama and some high-ranking Japanese military officials feel that things were strange.

After a moment of silence, Matsuoka Yosuke said, "Mr. President, can I understand your words to mean that if Japan forms an alliance with the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union will cede the south of the Amur River and the northern island of Birch to Japan?"

Stalin nodded and said with a smile: "Your understanding is correct. I guess that's not too much, right? If Japan is not interested in this condition, the Soviet Union can also consider a compromise with China, although we can give more benefits for this! ”

Yosuke Matsuoka's eyebrows furrowed, as if he was thinking hard: "If that's the case...... Then the Japanese Empire can only express regret, because the bottom line that Japan can accept is only to maintain neutrality between China and the Soviet Union. ”

Hearing the words "remain neutral", Stalin thought for a while, and finally focused his head: "Okay! Mr. Special Envoy, this condition is acceptable to the Soviet Union, but how are you going to force the unfinished contingent there to leave there? If the Soviet Red Army now withdraws to the north bank of the Amur River, Mr. Special Envoy. Who do you think will control that territory? Chinese or you Japanese? You are not so naïve as to think that a treaty with the Soviet Union will allow hundreds of thousands of unfinished Chinese troops and 200,000 White Russian troops to be obediently evacuated from the Far East, right? ”

"This is a matter of the Great Japanese Empire, and there is no need for Mr. President to worry about it." Yosuke Matsuoka suppressed the excitement in his heart and replied lightly: "I don't think the Chinese want to go to war against the Soviet Union and Japan at the same time, right?" ”

Stalin picked up his pipe. After taking a silent sip for a while, he said: "Nearly 200,000 square kilometers of land in exchange for Japan's neutrality, and you can't guarantee that the unfinished troops and the White Russian army will be evacuated from there...... Such conditions are not unacceptable to the Soviet Union, but we also have to mention an additional condition, you must first destroy Empress Anastasia! The Soviet Union exchanged 200,000 square kilometers of land for a woman's life, and I don't think Japan will refuse this condition again, right? ”

Yosuke Matsuoka hesitated for a moment: "It will not be difficult for Japan to eliminate Anastasia. But the British will not agree, Mr. President, we cannot offend Britain now. ”

There was a dark and excited look in Stalin's eyes: "Alas, you should understand that there are many ways to kill a person, and it is not necessary for the whole world to know who did it, and even to blame someone else. I think you Japanese people should know about this kind of thing, right? With that, he began to smoke silently again.

Yosuke Matsuoka said earnestly: "Mr. President, I understand what you mean, and I will convey your request to His Excellency the Prime Minister, and I believe that there will be a satisfactory answer in the end." However, the research on uranium ......"

Stalin shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "I will ask scientists from the Academy of Sciences to discuss this with you." Maybe you can also set up a few secret labs to study together. In addition, please convey my greetings to the Emperor of your country, and hope that our two countries can end this damned war as soon as possible. ”

As soon as Matsuoka walked on the front foot, the People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs of the USSR Checherin and the secretary of the GC International Executive Committee Molotov hurriedly came in.

"Comrade Stalin! Just got the news that Germany has announced that it has rearmed and sent troops to the Rhineland Demilitarized Zone! Chicherin waved the yellow telegraph newspaper in his hand with a solemn expression.

"And what about France and Belgium? Did they mobilize? Stalin furrowed his eyebrows, and a bad premonition welled up in his mind.

"Nothing happened." Molotov was still calm, he shook his head: "The French didn't even fart!" Not to mention Belgium. They also acquiesced in Hitler's actions. ”

"That's for him to attack the USSR! Germany was the greatest threat to the Soviet Union. Stalin quickly came to conclusions. He knew it in his heart. Only Germany in this world could really threaten the very existence of the USSR! Compared with the powerful Germany, China and Poland were fundamentally backward agricultural countries, and Poland was too small, and China was too far from the core territory of the Soviet Union, at most grabbing some territory in the eastern part of the Soviet Union.

"Comrade Stalin." Checherin took out a silk handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead: "We must find a way to prevent China, Germany, and Poland from going to war against the Soviet Union at the same time!" Then we will suffer from the enemy on our backs and fight on two fronts. The diplomat's voice trembled a little, and he cleared his throat: "We should try to break up this alliance, and we must not unite them!" ”

"Break up their alliance?" Stalin pondered: "I also know this. But what should we do? Give them back the lands seized from China from Tsarist Russia......" and then he shook his head: "No! If this does not work, the Chinese will still take advantage of the fire to rob. ”

"Poland!" Molotov smiled coldly and took a step forward: "Only by trying to break up the Polish-German alliance, we can give Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia to Poland!" I could go to Warsaw and convince Pilsudski to accept the offer. ”

"Give these three countries to Poland...... Will Poland be too strong then? Stalin hesitated slightly.

Molotov smiled: "A strong Poland would allow the Soviet Union and Germany to build a deep friendship, so that the Soviet Union could concentrate on dealing with the threat of China and Japan." ”

Stalin sneered: "Not against China and Japan, but with Japan against China!" A country like Poland could not stand up to Germany for long. At most, Poland will be annexed by Germany, and perhaps we can also take back the three Baltic states, Western Belarus and Western Ukraine...... But before that. We must solve the threat of Chinese imperialism! Otherwise, the Soviet Union would still be under attack. ”

"Solving the problem of imperialism? But they are very strong, and we ......," Chicherin hesitated.

Stalin raised his eyes and looked at Molotov: "The Sino-G delegation has arrived in Moscow, right?" Have you talked to them about it? ”

"Zhou Elai of Zhongg has brought a delegation to Moscow, but according to your instructions, we have not met with him yet."

"That's good." Stalin said: "Dry them for a few days, and they will know what they are worth." You can now go and meet them and discuss with them the question of Soviet support for the Chinese revolution. Tell them that GC International appreciates the actions of China and G in sending volunteers to help the Soviet Union, and that GC International will increase its assistance to China and G after the end of the war in the Far East. As long as China can get into a civil war, then everything will be fine......"

……

While Matsuoka continued his secret diplomacy in Moscow, the Russian offensive in Amursk had been going on for three full days, but it still had not broken through the positions of the Red Army, but the first-line defenders were already at the end of their strength. Unlike the Ussuriysk front, where heavy firearms dominated, the inaccessibility of Amursk meant that both sides had to transport light artillery to the front. And there is not much ammunition, so the battle is mainly carried out by infantry, and the Russian side also has German planes flying from Nikolaevsk, and the support of Japanese gunboats, but due to the lack of coordination and cooperation of ground forces, the results achieved are not too great, and the whole battle is still relying on artillery bombardment and infantry charges to carry out slowly.

On the south bank of the Amur River, on a high ground east of the city of Amursk, the front-line command post of the Amur Front of the Russian Army was located here. The commander-in-chief of the Russian army, Colonel-General Denikin, had been commanding remotely at the headquarters in Vladivostok. Every day, he was busy receiving the White Russian nobles who had arrived from Europe and the United States, or discussing the war situation on the map with military advisers sent by Britain and France. After the general offensive was launched, he came to the front under the strict orders of Empress Anastasia. In the binoculars, look at the offensive and defensive battles that are not going on here.

"General Rakovsky, how much more time will it take for us to take Amursk? Her Majesty the Empress has ordered us to end the fighting here as soon as possible. Putting down the telescope in his hand, Denikin was visibly impatient, and he did not trust the general who had taken refuge under Trotsky.

Rakovsky, on the other hand, was watching the battle on the other side with red eyes, and in the middle of the loud phone and the heralds ordered to intensify the attack. The order to consolidate the breakthrough. Drove groups of former Trotskyist Red officers and soldiers into a desperate struggle with Stalin's Red Army. In the end, both of them turned into piles of corpses, this army was almost built by him, I don't know how many troops were wiped out in the attack after attack!

Tong bowed his head to answer Commander-in-Chief Denikin's inquiry: "Due to the fact that the Red Army used drifting mines on the Amur River, which affected the logistics line, our army was undersupplied, ammunition was insufficient, and heavy firearms were also insufficient. Only the flesh and blood of soldiers can be used to attack enemy field fortifications. So it's inevitable to spend some time...... I ask the Commander-in-Chief to convey to His Majesty and ask her to wait patiently for the good news from the front. According to reliable intelligence. The Red Army on the opposite side had only 100,000 men, inferior to ours in strength, and did not have air superiority and surface ships, so defeat was inevitable. The key now is to contain the main forces of the Red Army on the Ussuriysk front and prevent them from dividing their forces to reinforce them. What is needed is patience and slowly draining the opponent's strength until they finally collapse. ”

Denikin blinked his eyes and looked at this subordinate who was already a little out of shape, and sighed leisurely: "I'm afraid Ussuriysk can't count on it, the Chinese and the Japanese are not working now, and the Russian fighters who came from all over the world still need training." Not at least until this fall! This battle for the restoration of the country depends on our efforts and God's blessing! ”

Listening to Denikin's words, Rakovsky had no choice but to smile bitterly and shake his head, he is an atheist and now has to rely on God's blessing to fight! But not by God. How could such a behemoth as the USSR be shaken by its own side, these hundreds of thousands of Russian troops? Do we really have to rely on China and Japan, two allies with bad intentions?

"Commander-in-chief, as long as Ussuriysk's reinforcements do not arrive, we can fight Amursk if we insist on fighting, but what about after we fight? Sooner or later, reinforcements from Moscow will arrive, as well as those troops of the Chinese GCD...... They will come too. At that time, we will still not be able to hold Amursk. Therefore, it was proposed to withdraw the troops to Nikolaevsk, and then dig trenches there to cover North Sakhalin. Let's find a way to attack next spring! In Rakovsky's words, there is no hope for the future, and it is a bit of a day to be mixed.

Denikin smiled silently and nodded slightly: "General." We still have time, we can first defeat the Red Army on the opposite side, and then think about withdrawing to Nikolaevsk for the winter. ”

Rakovsky shook his head, and was about to say something more, when the roar outside began again. A burst of smoke rose from the northwest, where the Russians had several powerful artillery groups. The mountain artillery was as dense as the machine guns, and the shells fell on the Red Army positions, and soldiers were constantly hit by shrapnel and died in the trenches. The artillery fire of the Red Army's counterattack also began almost simultaneously, and these 76.2 mm and 122 mm shells created a wall of fire between the positions of the two armies, knocking down the Russian officers and soldiers who braved the artillery fire one by one. At this moment, dozens of belated German planes roared over the battlefield, and a string of bombs was dropped behind the Red Army positions. A burst of "Ula" sounded, and another full-front assault of the Russian army began!

At this moment, on the other side of the battlefield, in the headquarters of the Special Army of the Far Eastern Red Banner of the Soviet Red Army in Amursk, there were also more than a dozen officers talking in a low voice around the map. Looking at their uniforms and appearances, we can see that most of these people are high-ranking officers of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army. Among these officers were Zhang Xueliang, political commissar of the Chinese People's Volunteers, Peng Dhuai, commander of the Chinese People's Volunteers, and Liu Bcheng, chief of staff of the Chinese People's Volunteers. They arrived with the first advance contingent to enter the Soviet Union and are now inspecting the battlefield on the Amur front.

On the map table is a map of the huge Amur River basin. It's already densely marked with markings. Several large attack arrows representing the White Army are carefully depicted on the map. All the arrows point to the same place - the town on the banks of the Amur River, Amursk! In this time and space, Komsomolsk-on-Amur did not appear, so in the middle reaches of the Amur River, Amursk was the most important city and stronghold. If the White Russian army could take Amursk before winter began, then the Red Army would have to retreat to Boli for the winter. And the task of reinforcing Amursk was now given to the Volunteer Army.

Listening to the rumbling artillery outside, Peng Dhuai snorted and poked Nikolaevsk on the map with his thick fingers: "It sounds like the firepower of the White Russian army is far inferior to the Chinese and Japanese emperors in Shuangchengzi, and it seems that they are subject to the logistics line." Temple Street (Nikolaevsk) is several hundred kilometers away from here, and there are no roads and railways. Now that the Soviet Red Army has released drifting mines on the Amur River, their logistical line is no longer very smooth. It doesn't seem like it's a big problem for us to win our first battle abroad. (To be continued)
