The USSR declared war on China?

Unexpected news adds fuel to the fire in an already war-torn world. When Georges Bonet hurried back to the Élysée Palace to report the news to President Daladier, it swept through Europe and Asia in less than half a day.

The world on October 18, Paris time, and the next three days, is beyond words. One is the world's largest newly industrialized country that has experienced nearly 30 years of industrialization, has sustained rapid economic growth, and has a population of nearly 600 million and has unlimited potential, and the other is the red double-headed eagle that has been feared by the free world for more than ten years by claiming to be the largest industrial output country in Europe with two five-year plans.

A country that is the most evil at the moment, a country that is the most evil in the future, great!

"There is no Eastern Front! There is no Eastern Front anymore! After Hillem told Hitler the news, the mustache actually ran to the balcony to dance excitedly, and then shook hands and hugged every general he saw, and the officers who had not yet received the news thought that the Führer's "hysteria" had committed again, but when Hillem told them the news of the war between China and the Soviet Union, they were all crazy and wept bitterly.

There was no way not to cry, and the pain of the two-front war that had plagued Germany for more than half a century finally came to an end temporarily. In other words, now Germany can gather all its forces to deal with the two feuds between Britain and France.

Some people laugh and others are worried, and Churchill in London slammed open the door of Chamberlain with a thick cigar in his mouth, making the Secretary of State for War Belisha, who was discussing the military situation with the Prime Minister, inexplicable. Don't look at the usual Churchill accusations against Chamberlain in Parliament, in fact, the relationship is very good in private, otherwise Chamberlain would not have let him take the important post of Secretary of the Navy when he was anxious. Except for the fact that no one in the navy likes this fat man from top to bottom, all walks of life in Britain have a good impression of this guy who claims to be the best "strategist" in Britain, especially the royal family trusts him very much.

So instead of reproaching him for his sudden break-into of the office, Chamberlain smiled awkwardly at the Secretary of War Belisha. Patiently asked why: "Winston, is there something wrong with me?" ”

"Prime Minister, Germany should be attacked immediately." As soon as Churchill opened his mouth, he startled the War Secretaries Belissa and Chamberlain. After glancing at each other, they all felt inexplicable, this fat man took the wrong medicine? Churchill was serious, at least he thought he needed to be more iron-blooded now, so he put down his cigar and said quickly: "It's bad." The Soviets' attack on China would only drag their forces to the east, so that no one would be able to contain Hitler's ambitions from the Eastern Front, so I thought that Germany should be attacked as soon as possible. ”

"But Winston. What do we use to attack? Belisha spread out her hands and smiled wryly.

"yes, what kind of attack?" Churchill was speechless. You must know that the number of German tanks has exceeded 3,000, France has 4,000, the Soviet Union has about 10,000 even if it has continuous consumption, and China not only has advanced performance, but also has more than 6,000. It is said that there are already 500 vehicles in a few days. But what about the UK? The only armored brigade and three expeditionary divisions have gone to France, and there are not even 10 divisions in the country, and there are less than 200 tanks left in the armored side, so what can be used to attack Germany?

What makes people wonder why Britain and Japan declared war so early, why did it cause the embarrassment of insufficient preparations? It turned out that Chamberlain always believed that Europe would not go to war so soon. Therefore, after the Battle of the Andaman Navy, all the funds were urgently needed for the navy, and the British always believed that tanks were of little use, especially after the Republic of China tank troops were trapped in the mountains in the later stages of the Afghan campaign, and even more thought that tanks could not deal with the mountains and cities, and all the role was too small. It wasn't until after the Battle of Ahvaz that he woke up from a dream. The development of a new tank began. But the development of new tanks will take time, and the equipment will be delayed for a long time.

To make matters worse, Britain, which was known as the world's largest country (including colonies) before the war, was embarrassed by slow recruitment. First of all, Southeast Asia was eaten by hundreds of thousands of people, although they were all miscellaneous armies. But it's also manpower! Immediately after the Japanese army entered Bengal and Calcutta, Nehru and the Congress Party launched a non-cooperation operation to deliberately sabotage the conscription. And the worst part. After the Sino-Soviet-Iranian War, Britain had more tasks in Iraq, Kuwait and Egypt that needed to be protected, and even India did not dare to take it lightly, so the Anglo-Indian divisions who were originally going to Africa and Europe had to stay in place or go to Iraq and other places to standby. As for the best quality of Australian and Canadian troops, although the number of troops has increased rapidly, they want to make up the forces to attack Germany and sell the British government!

Of course, he couldn't attack without soldiers, but Churchill didn't give up after coming out of Downing Street, and he thought that France would definitely be worried about the Sino-Soviet war, so he sent a telegram to Gammelin. "We are ready, let's go to war, our British armored brigade is responsible for the main attack on German soil." ”。 Daladier and Gammelin were indeed worried that Germany would not be able to contain it after the Soviets started the war, but the problem is that you Britain only sent less than 40,000 men in total, and it would be okay if you died! Millions of people in France are fighting, and this deal is not worth it! So Gammelin and the French government quickly rejected this ridiculous proposal.

The French do not want to fight, and the Germans see that they cannot contain it, what should they do? Churchill was anxious, and thought of Roosevelt on the other side of the Atlantic, and sent a second telegram: "Europe is finished, the United States cannot be left alone, send troops, let's fight Germany and Japan together." ”

Roosevelt was also stunned by the news of the Sino-Soviet war, but the excitement that followed made him even more reluctant to intervene too soon. He wished that China and Japan would be broken, and preferably Britain, France, and Germany, so he even refused the third visit of the Philippine envoy, so how could he intervene in a more complicated Europe before the situation became unclear?

Churchill was busy for a long time and found that no one was paying attention to him, so he had to end up in a huff. But he didn't give up every opportunity to strengthen Britain, don't you Belisha can't muster the tanks you need for the attack? Okay, I'll go buy it. The British Empire lacked everything, that is, not money. So, he sent a third telegram to Xu Gesen, asking him to find a way to buy and purchase 1,000 Chinese Type 36 tanks.

When Xu Gesen got the telegram, he was about to go to the presidential palace, and when he saw the telegram, he immediately cried and laughed, Yang Qiu will still have tanks for sale now?

Due to the time difference and the time taken by the radio transfer, it was already 5 p.m. when the Beijing Ministry of Foreign Affairs received Zeng Qi's telegram, and Churchill's first two telegrams had already been sent. Since it was the end of work** and the television technology was still in the laboratory, it was not until after the meal that the China State Radio and the China International News Agency jointly announced the news of the Soviet invasion of East Kazakhstan and Almaty provinces. By this time, the Soviet advance had advanced fifty kilometers in depth.

Although the Kuomintang later demanded an investigation into why the news of the declaration of war had been delayed by several hours from Paris, it was no longer relevant. Everyone was maddened by the fact that the USSR attacked first and then declared war! Although the two countries have long been inseparable in Iran and Afghanistan, as long as the dispute between the major powers does not involve their respective territories, no matter how hard they fight, it is only a corner of the fight.

Everyone wants to know what's going on in the Northwest and how the president will respond?

"How so? How so! How could the Soviets attack first? ”

One of the longest and hardest nights had finally passed, and the genius was bright. The streets and alleys of Beijing are bustling. Countless cars drove toward the Capitol, and students who were supposed to be ready for school arrived on the National Mall in full dress. Breakfast became a secondary thing, the buses that were supposed to be packed were nowhere to be seen, and all the places with radios were packed. This kind of picture of the whole country waiting made Wang Zhaoming, who was sitting in the car, numb. Looking at the Capitol in front of the National Mall, the almost crowded black area weighed down people's heads, and a wave of horror went straight from the soles of their feet to the back of their heads.

He never imagined that after successive defeats in Afghanistan and Iran, Stalin would actually provoke a war in the northwest. If he had known that the Soviet army would attack in an all-out way, he would definitely not agree to the activities of Song Zi and others. It was precisely because he felt that the Soviet Union would not attack that he dared to boldly allow the lower authorities to use the opportunity of the war to expand the influence of the KMT. They were also slow to hand over their ballots to pass the president's plenipotentiary National War Act.

But now! The Soviet army's offensive directly pushed him and the Kuomintang to the forefront, and after thinking that the Kuomintang would definitely set off a new round of political blows under the pretext that "the Kuomintang deliberately delayed and did not cooperate, resulting in insufficient defense in the northwest," he felt that he had suddenly aged a lot.

"Here comes the president. Hurry! Get out of the way and make way for the president. ”

The presidential motorcade slowly docked in front of the Capitol in anticipation. When Yang Qiu stepped out of the car, all the sharp-eyed parliamentarians quietly swallowed their saliva. Because today's Yang Qiu is very unusual. Dressed in a rankless black military uniform that has not been seen for many years and is almost forgotten, he holds a scepter and has a solemn face. As they walked in, everyone could feel the aura of murder on their faces.

Yang Qiu's gaze swept lightly from Wang Zhaoming's body without any pause, but this glance still made all the KMT legislators numb. Yang Qiu, who went on a killing spree in the implementation of land reform in the Central Plains of the Southwest, ruined Sun Yat-sen in Nanjing, slapped Li Liejun directly in Jiangxi, swept the veterans of the Kuomintang in Liangguang, and bloodied the Japanese army in Qingdao is back! For more than 20 years, he has changed from a soldier to a politician, and many people have gradually forgotten his iron and bloody wrists. But now the old man who has experienced the ups and downs of the founding of the country finally understands that if he does not die for a day, it will not be their turn to call the shots in this country!

But these people are all nearly sixty years old, who can survive Yang Qiu, who is only 48 years old?

Song Ziqing, Yue Peng, Chen Shaokuan, and Zhang Xiaozhun all the military officials who rarely come to the Congress in peacetime are here! Their appearance means that after more than 20 years of peace, the country has ushered in an era of iron and blood!

In the central conference hall of the Congress, there was silence, and all eyes were focused on one figure. Yang Qiu adjusted the microphone, and after waiting for the technician to send a gesture that he had already connected to the radio, he took half a step forward.

"Honorable Speaker, members of Congress, journalists, and all citizens.

I received a sad message! In the early hours of yesterday morning, millions of Soviet troops premeditated their invasion of the three provinces of our country: Zaisampo (East Kazakhstan), Balkhash (Almaty) and Shaye (Kyrgyzstan excluding south of Andijan)! Up to now, there have been tens of thousands of soldiers who have bloodstained the territory in order to defend the country! Half a million people have lost their homes! The lives and property of 50 million people in the entire northwest have been seriously threatened! Even now, artillery shells are ravaging our compatriots, blood has been sprinkled all over the northwest, and the enemy's cavalry, tanks and aircraft artillery are constantly penetrating our borders!

And all this happened without any warning! The Soviet government inadvertently sent a declaration of war to our consulate in Paris, France, after the army had already crossed the border overnight and had killed countless border residents of our country.

What kind of behavior is this?

No normal country would commit such a despicable act!

I know that before today, there were many people who complained about me and even angered. They believe that I should not order soldiers to go to Afghanistan, and even more so to the distant Persian Gulf. Before today, I had no explanation, because I knew that what I had done had never been worthy of this country, and that what I had done was entirely to prevent the war from spreading and harming my country.

But I still haven't been able to do it well.

So it's a shame! It's my shame! It is also a national disgrace! And even more of a shame for the country!

Since Wuchang in Xinhai years, I have begun to think, what has our nation and this country done wrong? Why is there always someone going to target us. Why do they ignore the hundreds of thousands of lives we paid in the European war! Ignoring the dreams of 570 million people in pursuit of independence, self-determination, prosperity, prosperity and tranquility, which repeatedly threatens our national security?

Today, the answer is finally out.

Because, we're still not strong enough!

Because, we still don't have the strength to contain the outbreak of war!

So, how do you solve it?

Very simple! Powerful, powerful, even stronger!

From today, we will not be holding back! We will always remember the nature of this despicable sneak attack on our country.

As the president of this country, as commander-in-chief of the army, navy and air force, I have ordered the army to defend by all necessary means. I can't tell you here how long this war will take, but no matter how long it takes, we will go and defeat this premeditated aggression. I am here to assure you that all the officers and men of the Wehrmacht will fight to the death for the safety of our country and every citizen! We will be guaranteed that we will never again be harmed by such perfidy!

Here, I implore every citizen to trust your army, to grant me the greatest support, to build the rear with the greatest determination, to maintain production, and to send more weapons to our soldiers! Please unite and shake hands to gather the greatest strength! Your determination, your courage, and your dedication will be the driving force behind winning this war!

Justice is in our hands, and victory will belong to all the people!

Now, I ask Congress to declare that China and the Soviet Union are in a state of war as a result of the Soviet Union's despicable attack on our country on 18 September 1939.

Demand that from this moment on, all individuals, groups and countries that help the Soviet government and army will automatically become enemies of the Chinese people, and we will automatically have the right to take all means against them!

It is demanded that all the peoples of Central Asia and the Soviet Union who helped us defeat the Soviet Union and win this war will receive guarantees from our Government after the war that they will help them to establish an independent state, ensure the security of their homeland, preserve their territory from infringement, and establish diplomatic relations on an equal footing.

Finally, I ask Congress to activate the constitutionally enshrined National War Emergency Act from this moment on, declare the country in a state of war, and grant me and the government full authority to deal with the country's internal, foreign, economic, and war affairs until the end of the war! ”
