Chapter 517: Matsuoka's Diplomatic Road (Part II)
For China's War of Resistance Against Japan, the Soviet Union had only one purpose at the beginning, that is, to let China contain Japan's pace and prevent Japan from having the energy to go north, and now this goal has basically been achieved, half of Japan's army was pinned down in China's vast land and could not move, and the momentum of the offensive was not only contained but also constantly counterattacked.

What surprised the Soviet Union even more was that due to Germany's attack on Britain and France, the South Seas became a no-man's land, and Japan's eyes changed from north to south, and now Stalin could basically rest assured of Japan, Japan's strength could only choose one direction to attack, as long as the southward movement became a fact, then the Soviet Union could concentrate on thinking about Western problems. Moreover, you must know that it is not ten or eight rubles that support the Chongqing government, but a large amount of arms and equipment, and this money basically cannot be seen to come back.
As for the current Soviet Union, it is much more cost-effective to let Japan go south with peace of mind than to let China contain Japan.
Matsuoka replied with a smile: "Please rest assured, we also believe that it is not conducive to friendly exchanges between our two countries that we have stationed too many troops on the border, so we hope to work with you to agree on an agreement that both you and I are willing to accept, and jointly regulate the number of troops and technical arms on our border." β
Stalin clapped his hands and said, "This is really good, I am sure that we will have a good result." β
It took less than a day for a draft of the "Japan-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact" to be released, and now it will be effective as long as Matsuoka sends a telegram to the country for confirmation.
The treaty stipulates that in the event of a hostile conflict between one or more of the signatories to a third party, the other party to the treaty will remain neutral for the entire duration of the conflict. The Treaty shall be effective from the date of ratification and shall remain in force for five years. If neither of the parties to the treaty fails to declare the treaty invalid one year before its expiration, it is deemed to be automatically extended for a further five years.
At the same time, two declarations were attached to the treaty, namely the declaration of the Soviet Union vowing to respect the territorial integrity and inviolability of Manchukuo and the declaration of Japan's vow to respect the territorial integrity and inviolability of the Mongolian People's Republic.
In this way, the two countries together sacrificed China's interests in exchange for the interests they needed, and China's voice did not even have a chance to be heard.
Soon, Matsuoka received permission from Hirohito to sign the treaty on behalf of Emperor Hirohito and Molotov on behalf of Stalin, and the treaty entered into force.
When Molotov and Matsuoka shook hands and signed together, both of them laughed very happily.
After the two sat down, Stalin said to Matsuoka: "In this way, our two countries can return to normal diplomatic relations, which is excellent news for our two peoples." β
Matsuoka nodded right and said, "I agree, but I think maybe we can make this news better." β
Stalin asked curiously: "Do you have any proposals?" β
Matsuoka smiled and said, "That's right, before I came to Moscow, I went to Berlin and exchanged many proposals with the FΓΌhrer Hitler, and we agreed to form a four-nation alliance to jointly lead the new order of the new world. β
"The Quad Alliance?" Stalin took out his pipe and asked with interest, "Soviet, German, and Japanese?" β
Matsuoka nodded right and said, "This is good for all four of us, Hitler's FΓΌhrer proposed that Italy and Germany lead the new European order, our Great Japanese Empire will lead the new order in East Asia, Central Asia and West Asia will be led by your Soviet Union, and Africa can be discussed separately, of course, this is just a rough idea, and the specific details can be discussed by the representatives of the four countries." β
Stalin smoked his pipe and looked at Matsuoka Yoyou, weighed it in his heart, and listened to Matsuoka Yoyou's tone, if the Soviet Union did not join, Germany, Italy and Japan would also form an alliance on their own, if Germany and Japan formed an alliance, the Soviet Union would fall into a state of being attacked from both sides, even if Japan may go south, but who can say when it will turn around and go north? Moreover, the four-nation alliance is certain, the Soviet Union can only go south and not east or west, you must know that the richest place in the world is Europe, and yellow Russia is also Russia's dream for hundreds of years, and it is really reluctant to give up these.
Moreover, Germany, Italy and Japan are all engaged in foreign aggression, and if the Soviet Union forms an alliance with them, it will naturally declare war with Britain and China, which is also morally unjustifiable, but... This morality or something is the most irrelevant thing, after all, the ultimate goal of the Red Party is the liberation of all mankind - do you think that liberation can be achieved by books?
Stalin felt that this matter was too difficult to measure, and was not ready to give an answer now, but he was not ready to refuse, Stalin raised his hand to Matsuoka and said, "This matter is too important, so let's do it, I will give you an answer in a few days, and we will discuss it first." β
Matsuoka nodded right and said, "This is natural, and this really needs to be carefully considered." β
After Matsuoka left, Molotov said to Stalin: "Comrade Stalin, if we ally with Japan and Germany, then we will go to war with Britain, and Afghanistan and Iraq and other places will be included in our big red family. β
Stalin shook his head and smiled: "I want more than just the Middle East, we should see that Turkey and Bulgaria should also be liberated, if the four countries are allied, then even the other countries together will not be the opponent of our four countries, so we must strive for the maximum benefit, if not?" Why are we with the fascists? They are also our enemies after all, remember! We are now only using the internal contradictions of imperialism to strive for the opportunity for the development of redism, and it is our goal to save and liberate all mankind! β
Molotov listened and nodded his head, at least that sounded good, didn't it?
-- Taihang Mountain, China
Jiang Cheng looked at the telegram from Chen Nan, and felt extremely funny, if it really made the Three Kingdoms Axis become the Four Nations Axis, then the joke would be big, from the map, these four countries almost half surrounded the world island, even with their full help, at most they would maintain an invincible situation, after all, tens of millions of Japanese and Soviet troops could not solve the problem of thousands of tons or tens of thousands of tons of materials.
At this time, Deng Xianxian walked in, handed a report to Jiang Cheng and said, "Comrade 203, this is our Taihang Military Region's review of the results of this audit, it is really embarrassing, I didn't expect that we haven't driven away the Japanese devils, and we haven't liberated the whole country, so many scum pests have come out!" Please take a look at it first, if you don't think it's deep enough, let's continue to meet to discuss rectification! β
An important task of Jiang Cheng's visit to Taihang Mountain was to rectify the economic problems of the Taihang Mountain Military Region on behalf of the central authorities, so Deng Xianxian showed Jiang Cheng the results of the rectification.
Jiang Cheng took the document and said to Deng Xianxian: "Political Commissar Deng, please sit down, in fact, it is really difficult to cure this corruption problem at the root, and this time it does reflect many of our problems, and the lesson is painful, two or three hundred cadres have made mistakes to varying degrees, and dozens of them will be shot, which really tells us that cadres can't do it if they don't grasp their thinking for a day, and they can't talk about politics for a day, of course, you are more experienced in this area than I am -- in fact, I really didn't expect to find out so many problems this time." β
In fact, in Jiang Cheng's view, the vast majority of the mistakes made by these 4,500 cadres will not be regarded as mistakes in later generations, and those who embezzle, embezzle, or embezzle more than 50 yuan of public funds will be sentenced to death -- if this is executed in later generations, then basically not many officials will survive. And more often do not do a good job in some details, and even in Jiang Cheng's view, many people are harmed by loopholes in the system, most of the money in this era is kept by special people, a person who only has a few yuan a month allowance, but has tens of thousands of public funds in his hand can be used at any time - it really takes perseverance not to make mistakes!
Jiang Cheng read the document, and the tone of Deng Xianxian and others in the document was obviously filled with grief, feeling sad for those comrades-in-arms who had not yet ushered in the final victory but fell on money, for the suffering nation, and for the fact that there were still such people in the party.
In fact, Jiang Cheng understands very well that in the hearts of these older generation of Red Party people, they all embarked on this road for the dream in their hearts, if it is for the sake of finance, for the sake of power, any of them can get a thousand times the benefits here as long as they send a telegram to Jiang Zhong, so what they hate most is to see people who abandon their common ideals, and what they hate the most is traitors!
Jiang Cheng put away the document and said to Deng Xianxian, "Political Commissar Deng, there is a sudden new change in the international situation, I want to go back to Yan'an immediately, the central government may send someone to take over the matter here, the grain I transported some time ago must be stored first, and it must be kept well, these grains will be the key to our entire war situation next year." β
As soon as Deng Xianxian heard that the international situation had changed, he also knew some of Jiang Cheng's identity, and immediately said, "Okay, I won't keep you anymore, don't worry about the work here, we will definitely not let the central government down." β
Jiang Cheng hummed, thought for a while, and said, "Gong Deng, the next words are the private words of the two of us, I hope it won't be passed on to the six ears, okay?" β
Deng Xianxian was stunned for a moment, knowing that Jiang Cheng was going to say confidential, so he nodded and said in a low voice, "203, you can say it." β
Jiang Cheng said softly: "The relationship between the Soviet Union and our party has always been a bit cut, and the reason is still chaotic, this change is related to the Soviet Union, and there will definitely be a turmoil in the party at that time, remember that everything will be in the highest interest of China at that time, I will say so much, take care." β
Deng Xianxian's eyes continued to zoom in, this news could allow him to stand on the high ground in the storm afterward, Deng Xianxian asked strangely, "203, why?" β
Jiang Cheng said with a smile: "The Taihang Mountain Military Region is the central military region of our various military regions, and your stability is extremely important. β
Deng Xianxian thanked him and said, "203, rest assured, Taihang Mountain will not be chaotic!" β
-- Modern Shanghai
Jiang Cheng looked at the documents one by one, Sun Ning introduced the recent situation next to him, under the green light of Russia and China, the companies in the Crimean Peninsula have begun to open up the situation, and now Jiang Cheng is recruiting personnel from the Crimean Peninsula region, Pakistan and other places to start the construction of the factory, and the various machinery and equipment required for the new tank factory and aircraft factory have also begun to be produced from Russia in a steady stream and hoarded in the secret warehouse in the Crimean Peninsula region, waiting for Jiang Cheng to be transported away, Everything went smoothly.
Jiang Cheng closed the notebook and said, "Sun Ning, I have a new idea next." β
Sun Ning sat across from him and asked, "Oh? What are your thoughts? β
Jiang Cheng knocked on his head and said, "I always feel that we have too little power here, especially the power to protect ourselves, not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, I am already thinking of ways to engage in some advanced robot technology, I mean - like the existence of the Terminator." β
Sun Ning's eyes widened, this is the real high-tech, the development of robots began in various countries as early as the Cold War, but now it is also progressing slowly, those so-called robots and robots in a real ideal state are simply not the same thing, of course, some people say that if you really want human thoughts, robots are likely to riot, after all, in the flesh humans cannot be the opponents of robots, but from Gallagher's experience, this is simply a joke, first of all, With the current technology of the earth, wanting to develop a perfect intelligent robot is like just starting to use an oxcart and wanting to invent a spaceship to travel freely through the galaxy, and secondly, those so-called robots that betray human beings are not real perfect intelligent robots at all, and the most important thing for real perfect intelligent robots is to have the same moral and ethical thoughts as human beings, they have their own three views, and they will gradually change, just like humans, and robots cannot control each other, they can only influence each other, The most important thing is that the intelligent robot can judge the consequences of an event, and only then will it understand what to do and what not to do.
Never think that ethics and morality are immutable, there is a big difference between ethics and morality 5,000 years ago and now, for example, a thousand years ago, if you want to talk about animal protection, it will definitely be thought that people have problems with their brains. And an intelligent robot can theoretically survive indefinitely, so on Gallagher's Purple River Star, each Purple River person is only allowed to have one intelligent robot, and unilaterally share life, if that person dies, this intelligent robot will also be formatted, only the government can have unlimited intelligent robots, and these robots are more used for exploration, military and other aspects, of course, they are considered to be absolutely loyal to their country and do not participate in the struggle of the Purple River Clan.
In Gallagher's words, if you really want to say destruction, the chance of self-destruction of intelligent beings is ten thousand times higher than the chance of being destroyed by intelligent robots, intelligent robots will never destroy intelligent beings, because in this way the purpose of their birth is eliminated, their wisdom does not allow such a thing to happen, in the history of Purple River Planet, there is indeed the use of robots to launch a rebellion, but in the end it was suppressed by their own robots, Because those intelligent robots judged that such a rebellion would not be beneficial to themselves, the country, or intelligent creatures, and the only one who would be good was the careerist.
Of course, these are Gallagher's theories, and no one knows what it will be, but for Jiang Cheng now, these robots are the most reliable helpers.
