Chapter 501: Li Tie and Stalin's Secret Agreement
readx;
One morning in early November 1941, fifty kilometers from Stalingrad, in an unknown village, in a typical European-style villa. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Mr. and Mrs. Xiang Zuo were kindly pouring hot tea for several guests in the living room, while Ma Zhanshan sat on a leather sofa in the middle of the hall, with a young Chinese beside him. Opposite them sat a bearded Russian and several Russian generals.
When the bearded Russian looked at Xiang Zuo with a strange look and finished pouring himself tea, he said with some sighs:
"Unexpectedly, Mr. Xiang Zuo, the commander-in-chief of the Far Eastern Defense Region, whom I valued, turned out to be just one of Mr. Li Tie's followers.
What I didn't expect was that I always thought that Mr. Ma Zhanshan, who was at odds with you, turned out to be Li Tie's secret son in Russia. After all these years, you're finally going to have a showdown with us. Comrade Stalin, with his trademark beard, lamented.
"Don't get me wrong, Mr. Xiang Zuo and Mr. Ma Zhanshan are the heads of our Huaxing Guards in Northeast China, their purpose is to launch an attack on the Japanese army at the right time, with a view to inflicting heavy losses on the Japanese army, and their ultimate goal is to drive out the Japanese army in the entire northeast and defend Northeast China from any invasion by any military force.
Today, I asked them to accompany me here to meet Mr. Stalin, firstly, because I want to show your country our strength, and secondly, I do not want your country to misunderstand.
After all, how can we reach an agreement this time, the two of them are the specific executors of the agreement, so with them present, everyone's future cooperation will be more secure and efficient, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings between you and me. ”
Stalin picked up a letter of agreement written in Chinese and Russian characters on the table, read it for a long time, his face changed and changed, and several marshals around him also read it. Because Li Tie's strength is now very clear to everyone. So everyone is looking at Stalin's final decision.
Stalin looked at his marshals and did not squeak, he knew that everyone was not very optimistic about the future prospects of Russia, and he could not help but sigh:
"I didn't expect that Mr. Li Tie would invite me all the way to come here because he wanted to take advantage of the crisis in our Russia and want to encroach on the land of our Far East." After Stalin finished speaking, he glared at Li Tie who was sitting on the sofa opposite.
At this time, Li Tie is no longer the young boy he was more than ten years ago, and now Li Tie is just thirty years old, but after years of experience and extraordinary experience, Li Tie's temperament has already been extraordinary.
When Li Tie heard Stalin's complaints, Li Tie smiled slightly, although it was the first official meeting with Stalin, but the two sides were actually familiar with each other, and they must be the most powerful people at the top of the world. Li Tie was also very clear about Stalin's careful thinking at that time.
"Mr. Stalin, don't you say it so badly? I don't want to take your land, I just want to get back the land that originally belonged to our China.
I think that when your country took advantage of the Eight-Nation Coalition to attack China, you plotted to seize more than 1 million square kilometers of land from our ancestors without spending a single shot.
I'm just trying to get back now. As for the rest of the land, anyway, I am now looking to the left to help watch, and I rented it in the name of Huaxing Group, just for more reasonable development in the future.
You know that I have saved millions of Jewish refugees, and they also need a lot of land to resettle, and you happen to have a lot of idle land, so why don't you rent it to me so that we can have a chance to win?
Besides, I didn't use your land for nothing, didn't I say it, as long as you are willing to lease all the land in the Far East to us Huaxing for development, I will send 1 million troops within half a year to help you defeat the Germans. ”
"Mr. Li Tie, I know that you are the richest man in the world, and I also know that you have hundreds of thousands of troops in Hainan and Southeast Asia, and now I know that the hundreds of thousands of bandit troops to the left and the hundreds of thousands of armed immigrants in Ma Zhanshan are also your subordinates.
And as you said, you saved millions of Jews, so is it a little too little that you only sent a million troops to help us in Russia?
You must know that the total strength of the Germans attacking our Stalingrad in half a year may not be less than five million people, and they also have countless advanced weapons.
Although you have a lot of soldiers, as far as I know, you have no experience in fighting in large armies, and I really don't know how much help you can give us. So you asked for so much land for nothing, I really don't dare to agree to you. Stalin said slyly.
"Mr. Stalin, you misunderstood, I said that I only bought more than a million square kilometers of land that originally belonged to our China, and I will buy it with tanks, planes and all kinds of military supplies that you urgently need.
As for the rest of the land, I will send a million troops to help you fight the Germans, listen, the condition is to win, not to go through the motions. I don't need to tell you how difficult it is, right?
Maybe my own troops will be wiped out. And you have so much land in the Far East, and you are idle, why can't you rent it to me, which is the cost of my troops? And I still pay taxes to you every year? Li Tie said.
"But you're renting too much land, and it's too long. See for yourself, you have to rent all the land from the Caucasus Mountains to the east, that's tens of millions of square kilometers of land.
And the lease term is 99 years, is there such a long lease? Do you dare to say that your ultimate goal is not to seek to seize our Russian lands? Stalin unceremoniously exposed Li Tie's conspiracy.
"Look at what you said, Britain has leased us Hong Kong for 99 years, and Hong Kong will also return to the hands of the Chinese in a few decades. I can rent your Russian land now, but it will help you avoid the danger of annihilation, and you can also recover these lands in a few decades, so why can't you rent your Russian land for so long? Li Tie explained.
"No, ninety-nine years must not work, so let's do it, under the same conditions, it's good to rent for ten years." Stalin bargained.
"It's going to take fifty years! Can't recover the cost if you miss the years? Li Tie began to bargain.
"Twenty years at most, and we will have to negotiate a secret agreement in our private names, and I will lease all this land to you in my own name.
Anyway, I'm confident that I'll be in power in twenty years. It's just that I'm still in this position, and the land in the Far East is at your disposal. As for later, I'll talk about it then. This is my bottom line, otherwise I would rather fight the Germans alone, and I believe that as long as we Russia are not afraid of sacrifice, we will eventually defeat the Germans. "Stalin said his limits.
"Okay, I agreed." Li Tie is very simple.
"But after signing this agreement, how are we going to fulfill this agreement?" Stalin asked again.
"Quite simply, the strategic supplies I promised to send to you will arrive at Stalingrad within three months, along with the military supplies sent to you by the United States.
In addition, the Germans, after the bitter lessons of Moscow, were unable to attack Stalingrad for half a year. I can assure you that when the Germans begin to attack Stalingrad, they will be attacked with all the strength of our Huaxing Guard, and when the time comes, we will join forces and defeat the Germans in one fell swoop. Li Tie said confidently.
"You should know how strong the Germans were, right? I really don't believe that with one or two million of your militia, you can defeat the German ** team.
You must know that when the time comes, there will be millions of German ** troops attacking us, and there will be no less than a few thousand tanks alone, how can you defeat them? Stalin was skeptical.
"Of course I can beat them, I have to beat them, otherwise I will fail in my investment, you know, for a businessman, making a loss-making trade will make his peers laugh." Li Tie smiled again.
