Chapter 733: The Lion's Big Opening (Part 32)

After Yue Fei listened to Tang Shaoyi's conditions, the whole person was stunned. Although, before he came, he had expected that the Chinese would definitely open their mouths. However, he never expected that the appetite of the Chinese would be even greater than he expected.

The Chinese not only swallowed the fertile land north of the Caucasus Mountains and south of the Don and Volga rivers, but also refused to return the captured Soviet Russian officers and soldiers, and said that those Red officers and soldiers voluntarily joined the Russian Empire, which is simply a lie. How could the political commissars trained by the Bolsheviks betray Soviet Russia so easily? Besides, the families of those Red officers and soldiers were all in Soviet Russia. If they betray, their families will be implicated. In addition, the Chinese actually opened their mouths and directly offered to compensate them for a thousand tons of gold. That's gold, not steel! 1,000 tons of gold is already equivalent to more than 130 million pounds, more than 1 billion Chinese dollars. Are Chinese not afraid of being strangled to death if they eat too much in one bite?

"Your Excellency Foreign Minister, the territory north of the Caucasus Mountains and south of the Don and Volga rivers is the inherent territory of Russia, and the forcible occupation by the Chinese Empire is probably unreasonable, right?" Yue Fei suppressed the anger in his heart and began to discuss with each other.

"Those territories are not the inherent territory of Russia. It was captured by ancient Russia through repeated foreign wars. Don't you, the Bolsheviks, support the elimination of oppression and the liberation of those who are oppressed? It just so happens that you can give up the territories that have been plundered by Russia. Besides, Soviet Russia is not a substitute for Russia. The Chinese Empire recognized the Russian Empire, not Soviet Russia. Tang Shaoyi said.

The emperor has already decided to swallow that fertile territory, and if Soviet Russia wants to go back, how is that possible?

"Your Excellency, the territory of the Chinese Empire is vast enough. Far from the territory of the Chinese Empire, is it really necessary? Yue Fei said. Obviously, that territory is too far away from China's hinterland to be managed.

"You don't have to bother. His Majesty the Emperor said that if Soviet Russia wanted to recapture those territories, then. There is only one way, and that is to defeat us on the battlefield. There is no other way. Tang Shaoyi said directly.

Yue Fei opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything. Now the Russians did not want to go to war with the Chinese Empire, and they were trying to avoid a war between the two countries. Even if there is a war to regain those territories, it is definitely not now. The current Soviet Russia is far from being the size of the Chinese Empire. If the two countries go to war again, then Soviet Russia will be dead.

"Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, those captured commanders and fighters of the Red Army. They will definitely not join the Russian Empire. They were all loyal Bolshevik fighters, and asked the Chinese Empire to release them. Yue Fei said. The Ural Front and the Caucasian Front of the Russian Red Army totaled more than a million people captured by the Chinese Empire. If these prisoners could be returned, the strength of the Russian Red Army would be restored immediately. Therefore, the Russian government did everything in its power to demand that the Chinese Empire release these prisoners.

The Chinese Empire naturally understands this truth, if these prisoners are released, wait for them to rearm, and then come to fight the Chinese Empire? Lifting a stone to shoot yourself in the foot. The Chinese Empire would never do it.

"Your Excellency, even the most determined Bolshevik fighters. In despair, faith will also collapse. Otherwise, Tukhachevsky, who was the commander of the Caucasian Front of the Russian Red Army, and Kasnov, commander of the 7th Army of the Ural Front, would not have taken the initiative to surrender to the Reich and the Russian Empire. Therefore, in desperation, they surrendered to the Empire. It's also understandable. Now, they want to start a new life in the Russian Empire, yearning for freedom, and the Chinese Empire has promised them at the beginning, so we will not break our promise. The population of Soviet Russia is quite large. With a population of more than 100 million, such a small number of people is nothing at all. So, please don't dwell on this issue. Tang Shaoyi said nonchalantly.

Yue Fei's heart is undoubtedly dripping blood! The population of Soviet Russia is indeed quite large, more than 100 million. However, how can the more than one million Red Army commanders and fighters be compared with the civilian population? However, he also knew that the Chinese Empire was probably determined to release those prisoners of war. Even if they persecute again, there is no way to do it, but it is possible to make the Chinese Empire very dissatisfied, thus sabotaging this negotiation.

"Your Excellency, Foreign Secretary, concerning reparations. A thousand tons of gold, that's a strong man's difficulty! If it's a thousand tons of silver, we're okay with that. Yue Fei said.

"A thousand tons of silver? Don't even think about it. A thousand tons of gold, which is already the bottom line of the empire. If the Russian government does not accept it, then we have no choice but to let the war continue. It's a big deal, if you don't want to give it, then we'll take it ourselves. According to the information we have obtained, the Russian government confiscated the property of the Russian royal family and those nobles and merchants, and the accumulated wealth is already very amazing. A thousand tons of gold is nothing to you. Whether you want that thousand tons of gold, or continue to fight with the empire, you think about it carefully. By the way, His Majesty the Emperor's patience is limited. If you are not able to give a satisfactory answer to the Imperial Empire, perhaps the flames of war will be rekindled. Tang Shaoyi warned.

"Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, although the Red Army has lost the battle, we are not without strength at all, we still have two million troops. In addition, there are a large number of aspiring young people who are joining the army. If the Chinese Empire wants to continue its invasion of Soviet Russia, you will definitely pay a heavy price. Yue Fei gritted his teeth and said.

"Really? Then we'll see. See if your rabble can withstand the elite forces of the Imperial Army. Tang Shaoyi's attitude is very tough. Because of the victory of the Imperial Army, his waist was very straight, and there was no need to grovel to these foreign devils.

Yue Fei was very angry in his heart, but he knew that if there was a war, the Soviet Russian Red Army might really have no chance of winning.

"Your Excellency, I will report your request to the country."

"Well, that couldn't be better. Three days, we want you to give us an answer within three days. If this period is exceeded, then we will be deemed to have rejected our conditions by the Russian government. When the time comes, don't blame our army for attacking. Tang Shaoyi stretched out three fingers with a smile on his face.

Looking at the smug smile on Tang Shaoyi's face, Yue Fei couldn't wait to rush up and slap Tang Shaoyi's face. However, he knew that if he was really so impulsive, he would never be able to get out of the Chinese Foreign Ministry. It may even lead directly to the breakdown of negotiations between the two countries and the rekindling of war.

The psychological quality of diplomats is very good, and at the same time, the city government must be deep enough. Otherwise, it would not be possible to hold this position at all.

Yue Fei nodded, stood up and took his leave. He was afraid that if he stayed here for a second longer, he would be tempted to burst out and hurt people.

After returning to the representative office, Yue Fei was very angry, and only then did he put forward the conditions proposed by the Chinese Empire to Moscow. In the telegram, Yue Fei claimed that the Chinese Empire was very tough, and if the Russian government refused to accept the Chinese Empire's terms in its entirety, they might really start another war.

Although, when Yue Fei's telegram was sent back to Moscow, it was still two o'clock in the morning Moscow time. However, Ulyanov, regardless of the current time, directly convened the ****** committee members to discuss what to do and whether to accept the conditions of the Chinese Empire.

"Comrades, the conditions of the Chinese Empire are very harsh. Not only did they want to seize the lands north of the Caucasus Mountains and south of the Don and Volga rivers, but they also refused to release the captured Red Army fighters and even falsified rumors that those Red Army fighters had betrayed Soviet Russia. In addition, the greedy Chinese also demanded that we pay a thousand tons of gold, otherwise they would once again go to war against us. The Chinese only gave us three days to think about it, and everyone said, what should we do! Ulyanov's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. The conditions put forward by the Chinese Empire were undoubtedly too harsh, and they simply treated Soviet Russia as a defeated country to be slaughtered. When Ulyanov had just received the telegram, he almost fainted.

Several members of the ****** committee of the Russian ****** were also very ugly after hearing these conditions. Either way, it's unacceptable to them. If they could, they would never accept these conditions. But what that means, they know very well. In the event of another attack by the Chinese* army, the Russians would probably pay even greater losses. Even to be destroyed, it is not impossible.

"Comrade President, those greedy yellow-skinned monkeys are simply taking the opportunity to blackmail us. The conditions they put forward were completely in the lion's mouth. We will never be able to accede to their terms. Stalin was the first to speak. He could see from Ulyanov's face that Ulyanov should be very resistant to these conditions.

"Comrade Stalin, if we do not accept these conditions, then there is a high probability that the war will break out again." Kamenev said.

"We still have a million Red Army soldiers, and we can mobilize more Red Army in the shortest possible time, and we may not really lose to the Chinese." Stalin was completely dead duck with a hard mouth. (To be continued.) )
