In this war that swept all the major countries of the world, the pressure on the Soviet Union was undoubtedly the greatest, and Hitler threw more than eighty percent of his troops into the Soviet-German battlefield, and thousands of Soviet soldiers and civilians were killed every moment.

As a wartime leader, having a will of steel is a necessary quality, no matter how many sacrifices, can be regarded as a string of numbers, what should really be concerned is not how many people die, but how many are still alive, and most of the troops can be put into the battlefield, in the end there is only one purpose, that is, victory, only victory can have everything.

Stalin was undoubtedly such a ruthless commander-in-chief, he had sent his son to the most dangerous front, and he was a real front-line combat force, which was completely different from Roosevelt's placement of his son in the logistics army.

Stalin is undoubtedly the most controversial figure in Russian history, and countless people regard him as the most brutal tsar, but in Qiao Yu's view, Stalin is definitely the best leader in Russia's history.

The special planes of the two heads of state landed in Chita, the capital of the Far Eastern Republic, and Stalin arrived nearly an hour earlier than Qiao Yu, and after he got off the plane, he was waiting for Qiao Yu's special plane in the temporary lounge, Stalin closed his eyes slightly, as if he was taking a break to relieve the fatigue of the journey, but his mind was spinning rapidly.

He is constantly thinking about how to deal with Qiao Yu, you must know that Stalin has also put a lot of effort into this old opponent, in a few decades ago China was still a mermaid country, not to mention the United States and Britain, a first-line power, even Italy can have special power in China, in the eyes of Western countries, China may have been glorious, but now it has fallen to the point that it is no different from the indigenous Africans.

The country is torn apart, and there are big smokers everywhere. There are many warlords on all sides. It's not so much a country. It's better to say that it's a geographical noun. At this time, the Sichuan forces rose rapidly under the leadership of Qiao Yu, and first took advantage of the opportunity of the First World War to realize their own arms. Then we will vigorously unify the whole country and concentrate the efforts of the whole country to promote industrialization.

Over the past 20 years, China has accumulated a huge industrial cluster with a full range of industrial sectors. The scientific and technological strength has also been greatly improved, and there are many Chinese-made arms weapons on the Soviet-German battlefield, and Chinese-made weapons and Soviet-made weapons have many similarities, which are easy to operate, easy to produce, and extremely powerful.

Compared with Soviet-made weapons, Chinese weapons pay more attention to actual combat, emphasizing the versatility of weapon parts, which can be replaced with simple parts at any time, and are easier to repair than Soviet weapons. In particular, China also supplied the USSR with a large batch of 107-mm rocket artillery, which was of simple construction. The powerful and extremely humane design of the weapon won unanimous praise from the Soviet army.

The Soviet High Command had already approved the massive introduction of Chinese artillery, and even the direct production of such rocket artillery at Soviet factories. Twenty years have been turned upside down, and now Russia is actually asking for help from China, and Stalin even feels a little unreal.

This untruthfulness underscores the greatness of the man who created this miracle, and there is no doubt that the Chinese leader is an extremely shrewd and long-term man, and it is by no means an easy task to deal with such a person, and Stalin constantly thinks about what price he will make and what conditions he can agree to.

Just as Stalin's mind was spinning at high speed, someone reported to him that Qiao Yu's special plane had arrived in Chita, and Stalin hurriedly got up, surrounded by his entourage, and went to meet Qiao Yu.

At this time, all the high-ranking government officials of the Far Eastern Republic also gathered at the airport, and a silver-gray Chinese airliner slowly landed at the airport in Chita under the escort of eighteen Phoenix fighters, and Qiao Yu appeared in the city for the first time.

Among the giants of World War II, Churchill was more diligent, not only meeting with Roosevelt, but also going to Moscow. However, apart from him, the heads of state of China, the United States and the Soviet Union did not officially meet after the war, and the Chita meeting undoubtedly showed the unity of the anti-fascist side.

In World War II, every meeting of giants was a division of interests, and this meeting between Qiao Yu and Stalin was no exception.

After getting off the plane, Qiao Yu shook hands cordially with the officials of the Far Eastern Republic, and only after the end of the false salute did he formally shake hands with Stalin, who was waiting on the side.

Stalin looked much more haggard than in the pictures, and it was clear that the fighting on the Western Front had put him under pressure, but the iron commander's hands were still very strong, and his eyes showed full confidence. Qiao Yu was looking at Stalin, and Stalin was also looking at Qiao Yu.

Qiao Yu is more than ten years younger than Stalin, and because he looks younger, he looks like he is about forty years old, it is a good time for a man to be in his prime.

The two heads of state covered their hands for more than three minutes, then looked at each other and smiled.

"Mr. Generalissimo, China and the Soviet Union stand in the same trench, and I believe that there is no difficulty in defeating us."

When Stalin heard this, his face was full of smiles: "Victory must belong to a just cause, and I am convinced that Hitler and his Nazi Party were destined to be purged." ”

After a brief conversation at the airport, the two heads of state officially went to a secret castle for negotiations, which was once built by a high-ranking officer of Tsarist Russia, completely in Russian style, luxurious and atmospheric, very suitable for the identity of the two heads of state.

Qiao Yu and Stalin both led huge delegations, and everyone first informed each other about the situation on their respective battlefields, and then the Soviet side talked about the difficulties in front of them and their strategic plans for the next step. Due to the tense fighting on the Stalingrad side, the early exchanges soon ended.

That night, Qiao Yu and Stalin had a secret meeting, each of them brought only a secretary and an interpreter, and the rest were all excluded.

Qiao Yu spoke first: "Mr. Generalissimo, there is a saying in China called openness and honesty, we might as well say it directly, what assistance does the Soviet Union need now?" ”

Stalin was also not willing to waste time: "We needed a lot of things, light and heavy weapons, tanks and artillery, food and medicine, raw materials for machine tools, trucks of cloth, etc. In short, any war-related material is needed, and the more the better, the sooner the better; In addition, in Washington, the foreign ministers of our two countries have already finalized a cooperation agreement to use Chinese human resources to help the Soviet Union produce military supplies, and I think this project needs to be expanded! ”

At present, more than 20 factories have been established in Outer Mongolia, Xinjiang and other places, all of which are supported by China, and more than 200,000 Chinese workers help the Soviet Union to work. This scale was already large, but compared to the consumption on the Soviet-German battlefield, the number of troops was not enough, and Stalin urgently needed more reinforcements.

After Qiao Yu listened, he thought about it for a while, and said with a smile: "China can fully meet these requirements, but I also have a condition in exchange, I don't know if Mr. Generalissimo can agree to it?" ”

Stalin knew that there was a price to pay for getting enough supplies from China, and this was common in the world, but at this time the Soviet Union was in the most dangerous situation, and had to agree to any conditions. Don't look at the fact that now the United States is also in the war, but the American aid can only be sent through the Arctic Ocean route, where there are a staggering number of German submarines, and the Soviet Union simply does not want to get enough supplies.

The only thing that could meet the needs of the Soviet Union was China, and it was a natural misfortune that the border between the two great powers was a natural misfortune, but at this time it was a good thing, and such was the change of fortune and misfortune.

"Mr. President, if you have any requests, I will try my best to meet them."

"Quite simply, it's the Far East, and the Chinese army will soon take action to take all the Far East occupied by Japan."

Stalin's face suddenly became ugly, he already knew Qiao Yu's plan, this Gu Weijun had already said to Molotov, the Soviet Union has also been studying how to deal with the problem of the Far East, there is no doubt that the Soviet Union hopes to get this land back, but China seems to be determined to win, and both sides are destined to retreat.

"The Far East was stolen by Japan from Russia, and if China takes it away, it will be a serious violation of international law, and the Soviet Union will absolutely not agree to it."

When did the Soviet Union also talk about international law, Qiao Yu laughed secretly in his heart, the Russians have always believed in fists, Stalin said this, there is no doubt that it is a sign of weakness, Germany has exhausted the Soviet Union, and now is a good time to give this piece of steel to its knees.

"Mr. Generalissimo, you and I both know that the lands of the Far East were taken from China by Russia, and now China is simply taking back what it has to offer. And I would also like to establish a principle in this regard, that is, whoever occupies it belongs to whomever it is. If your country launches a counteroffensive against Germany in the future, it will inevitably occupy Eastern Europe, and even Germany itself, which can be included in the sphere of influence of the Soviet Union. China would like to see the Soviet Union make a greater contribution to world peace. ”

The results of World War II are mostly divided into the same, whoever grabs it first will belong to whomever goes, but after Qiao Yu broke this point, there is no doubt that China's position of supporting the expansion of the Soviet Union in Eastern Europe is particularly important.

Stalin finally felt Qiao Yu's foresight, and now everyone is worried about whether the Soviet Union can hold Stalingrad, and Qiao Yu is already trading with Stalin for the post-war situation, and dealing with such a smart person is both a good thing and a distressing thing.

"Greece! Turkey! ”

Qiao Yu seemed to mention two countries very casually. Stalin suddenly figured out what Qiao Yu meant, and his eyes suddenly lit up. (To be continued.) )
