Stalin and Li Tie negotiated all morning in their villa on the outskirts of Stalingrad, and although the two sides had all kinds of precautions, they did not prevent the two suspicious men from reaching an agreement. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

At Li Tie's insistence, Stalin agreed to open up nearly 10 million square kilometers of land east of the Caucasus and lease it to the Huaxing Group for a period of 20 years.

In exchange, Huaxing will provide Russia with a considerable amount of strategic supplies in the coming months, and will also be responsible for delivering American military aid to Stalingrad as soon as possible.

Since the railways in the Far East are actually controlled to the left, as long as the Far Eastern railways are unimpeded, strategic materials from the United States and Huaxing can be continuously transported to Russia.

Of course, in addition to these war materials urgently needed by Russia, Li Tie also promised to send one million troops to help Russia attack Germany in the upcoming most critical battle between Germany and Russia.

The timing of the dispatch of troops was based on the beginning of the German offensive on Stalingrad. However, Li Tie, who was asked by Stalin to take command of the Huaxing Guard, did not agree to hand it over to the Russians, because he was also afraid that the nearly one million bandit army he had cultivated with great difficulty would be used as cannon fodder by Stalin.

Fortunately, with the assurance of the two leaders with outstanding command ability, Arima Zhanshan and Xiang Zuo, Stalin finally agreed to Li Tie's conditions, and the Huaxing Guards would then attack the German Northern Army directly as an independent combat force.

Stalin believed that as long as Li Tie's million-strong bandit army could hold off Germany's Army Group North, with their tens of millions of soldiers and civilians in Stalingrad, it would not be a problem to defeat the German Army Group Center and Army Group South.

So Stalin and Li Tie signed this agreement on sending troops in their own names, which had no legal effect, and the two sides ended this brief meeting successfully.

When Stalin returned to Stalingrad accompanied by several marshals, Marshal Zhukov, who was traveling with him, asked Stalin for advice:

"Why did you sign such an agreement with Li Tie? Although it was only signed in the name of an individual. However, once Li Tie took this agreement and displayed it internationally, it would greatly put Comrade Stalin in a passive position. ”

Stalin smiled slightly: "The country is now at the point of life and death, and if we win, we will have a chance to breathe, and in a few years our strength will be restored to its original state."

At that time, it will be easy to annul this lease agreement, but if it doesn't work, I just won't admit it, and who in the whole world can help us?

If we lose, then this agreement is a dead letter, the Russian government does not exist, and who will recognize such an agreement with no legal effect?

As for the Germans, they will not recognize or implement this agreement, which has nothing to do with them. Therefore, we will now be constrained by Li Tie in terms of reputation, and in essence, we in Russia will not lose anything.

Our self-bombing in Moscow caused great losses to the Germans, and the international nations ostensibly congratulated us, but in fact all of them privately looked down on us for using such methods.

And Hitler, who suffered a big loss, will not be reconciled, he is now a wounded wolf silently licking his wounds, and when this cold winter passes, when Germany attacks Stalingrad next year, he will definitely do his best. So we must now strive for all available resources.

The Huaxing Group has money, people, and arms, and as long as we can tie the Huaxing Group to our chariot, we are not afraid that they will get in the way, after all, we have dealt with Xiangzuo and Ma Zhanshan in the Far East over the years. And Li Tie has always been eyeing our Russian land.

Although I don't know why Li Tie helped us deal with the Germans. But I know that his ambitions for us Russia are no less than Hitler's.

Therefore, we must guard against Li Tie at any time, as long as the defeat of the Germans is revealed, we will fight back and eat all of Li Tie's troops.

I don't believe that Li Tie, who has lost all his troops, can still make much of a storm. Stalin said grimly.

Zhukov looked at Stalin's hideous face, and his heart was also cold, as the so-called companion is like a tiger. Since the occupation of important Russian cities by the Germans, Stalin has become more and more demoralized.

In front of the villa, Li Tie quietly looked at the Stalin's convoy in the distance, and stood quietly behind him to the left and Ma Zhanshan.

"Uncle, do we really want to help the Russians defeat the Germans? In the past few years we have had good relations with the Germans, and now we are going to meet them in arms, and let the Russians reap the benefits of the fishermen in vain. Xiang Zuo said worriedly.

"Yes, we have been dealing with the Russians all these years, and the people of this nation are the most aggressive, and we are now threatening them, and they will definitely retaliate against us in the future, and if they stab us in the back while we are fighting the Germans, we will be in a dangerous situation." Ma Zhanshan also persuaded Li Tie.

"It doesn't matter who is the hunter and who is the prey. Whether we want to help the Russians or not, sooner or later we will have a war with the Germans. You don't know that the reason why I put forward such an unconscionable condition is because Hitler had destroyed our alliance.

Ever since Hitler's attack on Moscow, he has been alienated from us. Just after the explosion in Moscow, he had already ordered that the next attack on Stalingrad would be led by the Ukrainian and Belarusian armies.

Not only is he not listening to me about treating the people of the occupied territories well, but his army is now wantonly killing the people of the occupied territories, who were originally regarded by the people of Ukraine and Belarus as saviors, and now the people of these two regions have been living in poverty for a few months.

And Ukraine and Belarus are important pawns for me, and for the sake of our future plans, we must help Ukraine and Belarus.

And the most important thing is that if we don't come forward to help the Russians, Russia may really fall into ruin, and once Russia is gone, we will be directly confronted by the Germans, and at the same time, Germany's power will also rise sharply, and the whole world will not be their opponent at that time.

Others don't know, but I know Hitler's character, I have been helping him all these years, but I am also using him, and I have been prepared to abandon the Germans at any time from the beginning.

Hitler was a madman, and if the world really let him dominate, all that awaits us is death, so we must hoe the strong and help the weak to help the Russians defeat the Germans.

And the Germans must not be defeated too badly, and the Germans must be left with enough strength to keep Germany and Russia evenly matched, and constantly consume the strength of their two countries on the battlefield.

When the time is ripe, it is time for us to attack with all our might, and it is time for our Huaxing Group to snatch the fruits of victory. ”

Ma Zhanshan and Xiang Zuo didn't expect Li Tie's plan to be so big, the two listened to it for a long time, pondered for a long time, and still couldn't digest Li Tie's words.

"It doesn't matter, go back and slowly understand, the most important task at present is to pay close attention to training troops and assembling heavy weapons and equipment. U.S. military assistance will be available soon. In order to express our sincerity, we will quickly transfer the military aid belonging to Russia to them as soon as possible.

Let the Russians relax their vigilance against us first, and wait until the beginning of next spring, when the Germans begin to attack Stalingrad, which will be a startling time for us. After Li Tie said these words, his eyes lit up, and no one knew what Li Tie was thinking.
