The Soviet Army assembled the 1st Army (more than 60,000 people, under the jurisdiction of 3 infantry divisions, namely the 57th, 82nd, and 152nd Divisions), the 36th Motorized Division, the 5th Mechanized Brigade, the 7th, 8th, and 9th Armored Brigades, the 6th, 7th, and 11th Tank Brigades, the 212th Airborne Brigade, the 5th Machine Gun Brigade, the 185th Artillery Regiment, the 37th and 85th Anti-Tank Gun Battalions, the 63rd, 66th, and 150th Air Defense Battalions and other units (the 6th Outer Mongolian Cavalry Division, the 8th Cavalry Division and other units are also attached). A total of more than 100,000 mechanized troops (in addition, 18,000 tons of artillery shells, 6,500 tons of bombs, 7,000 tons of fuel, 4,000 tons of food and 4,000 tons of supplies, 3,000 trucks, a total of 498 tanks, 346 armored vehicles, 542 artillery pieces, and 515 aircraft were transported by rail). On July 15, 1939, Zhukov was appointed commander of the army group.

The Japanese army also gathered a large number of troops, more than the Soviet Union about 200,000 people, the Japanese army base camp decided to mobilize in the battlefield in China's Guannai: the 23rd Division, the 5th Division (stationed in Qingdao), the 14th Division (stationed in Kaifeng, Xinxiang, Henan), the 9th and 10th Wing of Field Heavy Artillery, 9 squadrons of rapid-fire artillery, 16 field anti-aircraft artillery teams, 1 flying team, 22 automobile squadrons, and at the same time, the Kwantung Army Command mobilized 10,000 people from the 2nd Division, 9,800 people from the 4th Division, and 8,000 people from the 7th Division. The main forces of the anti-aircraft artillery unit and the border garrison went to Nomenkan.

"This is a strange, secret war," said an editorial in the New York Times on July 20, 1939, of the bitter struggle between the Soviet Red Army and the Japanese army in the Mongolian steppe, which the Times scoffed at "venting their anger in unnoticed corners of the world." It wasn't until two years later when the Japanese bombs were dropped on Pearl Harbor that the Americans realized that it was precisely the First World War, which they considered insignificant, that changed the object of Japan's war, and that it was precisely this small country that they simply despised that gave them a fatal blow. Americans paid a heavy price for their pride and carelessness.

Professor Lorenz of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology once said, "A butterfly flapping its wings in the heart of Asia may cause a storm in the South Pacific in a few weeks." "In the military and political spheres, the causes of many major historical events may be negligible, but the "butterfly effect" produced is eye-popping. The Battle of Normenheim is a case in point, as one could have predicted that an inconspicuous border conflict in the heart of Asia would set the stage for the eventual defeat of the Axis powers. Because after the Battle of Nomenkan, the Japanese southward faction completely gained the upper hand, and it became an inevitable choice for small Japan to sneak attack Britain and the United States in the south.

History of small Japan is indeed like this, but now that small Japan has stopped invading China, most of the troops have returned to the place before 1937, and the puppet Manchukuo has become a large barracks, where a large number of Japanese troops retreating from North China are concentrated, plus the Kwantung Army, the total number is not less than two million, and at this time it is used for more than 200,000 in the border Nomenkan area, and the Soviet Union only used more than 100,000 garrisons in Mongolia and the Mongolian army, and more than 1 million troops in the Far East were not used, the Battle of Nomenkan, In the current history, it has become a tentative war between the two sides, and it is still unclear whether it will develop into a full-scale showdown between the Soviet Union and small Japan.

……

Besides, according to Hitler's instructions, German Foreign Minister Ribbentrop quickly flew to London to hold talks with Britain and France, and Hitler was waiting for a reply in the Soviet Union! So everyone was not polite, and they just opened up the talks, and the treaty was soon signed in secret, as follows:

Anglo-French-German Treaty of London

First, the precondition for the non-intervention of Britain and France in the German attack on Poland was that Germany must guarantee that after acquiring the territory of Poland, it would attack the Soviet Union with all its might, and in order to guarantee its commitment, Germany must withdraw its garrisons in the Rhine and the Ruhr industrial area, and at the same time use the above two guarantees to cede these two areas to Britain and France as compensation if Germany reneges on its commitment.

Second, under the premise that Germany promised to acquire Polish territory and attack the Soviet Union with all its might, Britain and France only provided verbal support to Poland and did not provide any substantial help. (From this article, it can be seen that Britain and France sold Poland very thoroughly, since ancient times, weak countries have no diplomacy, this is the sorrow of small countries, weak countries.) ）

Thirdly, when Germany fulfilled its promise to attack the Soviet Union with all its might, Britain and France were not allowed to deploy large numbers of troops on the Maginot Line, and at the same time Germany was given the most preferential treatment, and Germany could import any material, and Britain and France could not stop it.

Fourth: Britain and France should provide Germany with some necessary arms assistance when Germany attacks the Soviet Union, and the total amount should not be less than 100,000 tons. Zhang Jun still had the foresight that all German ammunition is now NATO-made ammunition, which can be used when sent.

As soon as the agreement was signed, the telegram soon reached Hitler's hands, and Hitler was not in the ink with Stalin at this time, so that on June 5, Hitler and Stalin signed the "German-Soviet Treaty of Reciprocity" in the Kremlin that night, which was valid for ten years, and the international community was shocked by the change in German-Soviet relations, and the two countries were completely opposite ideologically. However, the "German-Soviet Treaty of Reciprocity" did not guarantee the effectiveness of the security of the two countries, but only an economic treaty, which also attached a secret agreement: the two countries jointly divided Eastern Europe, including Poland, the Baltic states, Romania and other countries, in the case of Poland, he will be divided between Germany and the Soviet Union, the former will obtain 49% of the territory, and the rest will be allocated to the Soviet Union, the two countries will not only jointly send troops to fight the Polish army, but also when Germany is declared war by Britain and France for attacking Poland, the Soviet Union will maintain neutrality, Poland is about to face the fourth partition of Germany and Russia in history.

As soon as these two agreements were signed, Poland's fate was sealed, the allies betrayed her, and two powerful neighbors wanted to divide her, although Poland had a strong military force, and the fate of history could not be changed.

In real history, Hitler only reached an agreement with the Soviet Union to partition Poland, and did not reach any agreement with Britain and France, but Hitler still "blitzed" Poland, and Germany invested a total of 62 divisions, including 7 armored divisions, 4 light armored divisions, 4 motorized divisions, and 1,900 aircraft, 2,800 tanks, and a total strength of 1.6 million people. To the west of Germany were 110 divisions of the Anglo-French army, equipped with more than 3,000 tanks, more than 26,000 artillery pieces, and more than 3,000 aircraft. When they "blitzed" Poland in Germany, they called very hard, but they did not send troops to attack Germany, even if they did not send troops, sending planes to bomb Germany's military industrial areas, it would greatly reduce Germany's war potential, but Britain and France were afraid of Germany's retaliation, so they did not send a single soldier, and after Germany swept Poland, they turned around and beat the Anglo-French army into a piece of.

This is the essence of imperialism, and to pin the fate of one's own country on these sanctimonious imperialists is to bring about its own destruction, and Poland is an example.

Germany had everything ready for Hitler's orders, but Hitler still gave Poland an ultimatum, and Hitler now needed a real war, so there was a proviso: the Polish plenipotentiaries who came had to arrive in Berlin within a day to sign an agreement. But when we take into account that Germany stipulated that the Polish plenipotentiary had to arrive within a one-day time limit, this difficult time-limited action also meant that it was an ultimatum for Germany.

In the early hours of 30 August 1939 and 31 August 1939, Ribbentrop read out to the British ambassador the sixteen German demands, and when the British ambassador Neville asked for a copy of the document to be forwarded to the Polish government, Ribbentrop refused on the grounds that "the Polish delegates had not arrived before midnight." When the Polish ambassador Joseph Lipski arrived in Berlin at noon and asked to see Ribbentrop, he said that Poland was willing to consider negotiations with Germany, but he also admitted that he did not have full authority to sign any agreement, and Ribbentrop drove him away. Soon German broadcasts announced that Poland had vetoed the German proposal, and therefore the negotiations were terminated. At 4 p.m., Hitler decided to start the attack at 4:45 a.m. the next morning.

At this time, Zhang Junke was inspecting his troops at the forward position of the Tebbs, Zhang Jun's left was the Eighth Army of the German Wehrmacht, and on the right was the Tenth Army, Zhang Jun's task was to break through from the front of the Polish "Roci" group army, and then interspersed with the "Roci" group army and the "Prussian group army" at the junction, occupy him and completely cut off the connection between the two group armies, and at the same time could also cut off the retreat of the "Roci" group army, and one armored division could complete the task of blocking and splitting. The remaining three armored divisions, Zhang Jun, had a bold use, which can only be conceived now, and after the two Polish armies are completely divided, see the situation and decide whether to implement it.

When Zhang Jun was inspecting his own troops, he received a telegram from Mao Renfeng, saying that Japanese diplomats in Germany frequently invited the head of state to apply for the Japanese emperor to visit Germany, and now Hitler has agreed to the request of the Japanese ambassador to Germany, and the Japanese emperor will visit Germany in the next two or three months, and there is also a physical examination report made by the Chinese doctor Zhang Jun for Hitler for Hitler, because Zhang Jun has invited Chinese doctors to help regulate the Führer's body since 1937. Now Hitler's health is much better than in history, what gastrointestinal problems, Parkinson's disease is completely gone.

Hitler's personal doctor in history gave Hitler drugs indiscriminately, causing Hitler's health to deteriorate and his emotions to be extremely unstable, now Zhang Jun doesn't have to worry about Hitler's body, Hitler's health and Zhang Jun's fate are great! It's not to be sloppy at all.

As for the visit of the emperor of little Japan to Germany, Zhang Jun will not be too worried, once Germany goes to war, it will definitely be blocked by Britain and France, and all minerals can only be transported to China by air (iron ore is bought in Sweden), so Germany's cooperation with China is already a foregone conclusion, and the alliance may not.

Of course, there is a reason why little Japan is in such a hurry to visit Germany, Germany is arming China, this is already a fait accompli, and it cannot be changed, and there are even more quarrels in little Japan, and there are only two factions in small Japan, going north and south, and now there is a faction that abandons China, that is, completely giving up on China, freeing up his hands to either go south or north, and even the emperor is stunned by them.
