Chapter 19: Compromise
"No, absolutely not, this is blackmail, this is shameless blackmail at all." Stalin's hysterical shouts echoed in the spacious, empty conference room of the Kremlin, and in a fit of rage, Stalin threw his favorite pipe to the ground. The high-ranking officials present all looked at him coldly, Stalin was a powerful figure, and there was no room for persuasion, so many purged Suville high-ranking officials were good examples, so there was only Stalin in the conference room.
"Send a telegram to the United States and tell them that all conditions are negotiable, except for Siberia." Stalin's side received only a telegram from Thunder demanding the right to use Siberia, but news of the beheading operation had not yet arrived. It is no wonder that Stalin was so angry, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the so-called transfer of usufruct is just a cover-up, as long as the Soviet Union signs and seals the agreement on the transfer of usufruct in Siberia, the whole of Siberia will be ceded to the damned Thunder in disguise, so Stalin will angrily scold Thunder for blackmail.
The Soviet Union had a large population and was an industrial power in the world, and if it had not been defeated by the menacing German army, Stalin would never have bowed his head to the Western capitalist countries for help. This so-called Thunder is nothing more than a private armed force that started with mercenaries, and dared to negotiate terms with such a behemoth as the Soviet Union to claim land, and turned it back. Stalin did not know why this Thunder mercenary company appeared in the matter of the alliance with the United States, but he was accustomed to being tough, and he would never allow the territory of the Soviet Union to be ceded out.
Just when Stalin, in a fit of rage, was about to continue smashing things, an extra-long encrypted telegram from the United States finally arrived, and the attendant who had entered the conference room to deliver the telegram dropped the telegram and disappeared as if it were fleeing. "Operation decapitation? What is this? Stalin opened the telegram on the table and only glanced at it, and was deeply attracted by the contents, "So that's the case, no wonder the Thunder Society lion opened his mouth to ask for the right to use Siberia, and wanted to complete this beheading operation, Thunder did have to bear a lot of pressure and anger from Germany, and they asked for Siberia to prepare a way out." ”
After reading the telegram, Stalin motioned to the high-ranking people who had come to the meeting to circulate it, and read the telegram twice in a row, and to be honest, Stalin was indeed very interested in this beheading operation. But out of his own conceit, Stalin thought that his Red Army soldiers were far more powerful than any thunder mercenaries, and the price of exchanging such a large piece of land for an assassination operation seemed to be a little too great, and the gloomy Stalin's mind quickly pondered.
"Damned" pondered for a while, and Stalin found that he did not seem to be able to reject the American proposal for the distribution of benefits. In order to meet the menacing German troops, the Soviet Union organized a total of more than 80 divisions, but with the continuous changes in the war situation and the German army's step by step, 20 divisions have now been completely defeated, and 32 divisions have been reduced by more than 60 percent.
Stalin did not speak, and the high-ranking officials, who had already read the telegram, sat still like old monks and did not speak, and the empty conference room fell into a dead silence. After coughing a few times, Stalin spoke, "I believe you have read the content of the telegram, we don't know much about this Thunder mercenary, but judging from their record in the battle with the Japanese army, the combat effectiveness of this Thunder is not weak, if they can really complete this decapitation operation, maybe we can consider their proposal." ”
Stalin had already spoken, and the rest of the high-ranking officials were naturally rushing to hold stinky feet, and after a burst of harmony, Stalin, who was in a good mood, finally decided to consider the establishment of a training camp in Siberia by Thunder, but it could only be a land lease and never a transfer of use rights and a disguised cession of land. Stalin's decision made Kuznev awe-inspired, he would never have imagined that the powerful Stalin would actually agree to Thunder's request, although it is now a lease to Siberia, but what is the difference between a 100-year lease and a cession.
When Zhao Zhi and Kuznev sat together again, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, and after the two sides were seated, Kuznev first said, "We basically agree to your request, but there may be some troubles in Siberia, and our Comrade Stalin does not agree with the matter you have raised about Siberia. Although Siberia has a harsh climate and is sparsely populated, it is the territory of our Soviet Union, and the transfer of the right to use it is not a disguised cession of land to you, and we are afraid that we will not be able to do this. ”
The shrewd Kuznev still wants to give it a last fight, and no matter how much saliva he spends for the interests of the Soviet Union, it is worth it, not to mention that the Soviet side has already modified the conditions such as materials to be very favorable, and he does not believe that the yellow young man in front of him is not moved. "Well, since you don't agree to our conditions, let's get out of the way, so that both sides have no losses, and let the German tanks enter your Kremlin." Zhao Zhi didn't fight too much at all, and got up directly to leave.
"That's right, the German army is very strong, so what, the final winner must be the Soviet Union, you know, the Soviet Union is much larger than Germany in terms of population and territory, we still have the best industrial base, as long as there are people, we can keep producing weapons" Seeing that Zhao Zhi did not play his cards according to common sense, Kuznev, who knew bad things, said calmly, "We must be the ultimate victors, let time prove everything." ”
"Really?" Zhao Zhi, who had already walked to the door, looked back at Kuznev and said with a mocking smile, "Now the whole of Europe is under the control of Germany, and France, Italy, and Britain are all supporting Germany's war. You wouldn't think that Kazakhstan and France are on the same footing, right? The Germans can fight with you with Swedish iron ore, Romanian oil, French grain, British textiles, what do you have? In terms of industry, the Soviet Union and Germany are half a pound and eight taels, but after the German army occupied the Czech Republic, it has already outperformed you, and now in addition to Germany's industrial power, there are also Britain, France, and Italy's industrial power that can produce weapons for the German army, in addition to them, there are also the Netherlands and Belgium, and the scale of industry controlled by Germany is at least 2.5 times that of yours, so why should you fight a war of attrition with Germany? ”
Listening to Zhao Zhi's words, Kuznev's chest rose and fell, and it seemed that his mood was not stable, and after Zhao Zhi finished speaking, Kuznev hurriedly got up to keep Zhao Zhi. He already knew at this moment that this seemingly young yellow man was also a strong figure, and if he didn't show the bottom line of the Soviet Union, I was afraid that this alliance would be very troublesome. "Well, young man, you won, our government has already given a final answer, agreeing to the conditions for you to set up a training camp in Siberia. But as I said earlier, Siberia can only be leased to you for 100 years, and if you continue to dwell on this issue, then this alliance will have to be nullified. ”
"Hey" Zhao Zhi felt a little proud in his heart, he finally won Siberia, and people in this era have far from enough understanding of the importance of Siberia. Although the Soviet government only gave a lease of 100 years, it was enough for Thunder to empty the resources on that land, and when the lease expired, Thunder would return a place that looked smooth on the surface but was actually full of holes, but these stinking Slavs did not know Zhao Zhi's plans now.
"Happy cooperation" Looking at the foreign ministers of the two sides who signed the agreement secretly, Zhao Zhi, who was sitting in the audience, was excited, the agreement on the lease of Siberia by Thunder had been signed yesterday, it was a formal document with legal effect, and if the Soviet Union broke the agreement, they would face a high amount of compensation, which was enough for Thunder to buy a large piece of land in the United States.
"Zhao, when will your people leave for Germany? The President is very concerned about your decapitation, and the sooner you see the results, the better. Vincent, who was good friends with Zhao Zhi, leaned over with champagne and whispered to Zhao Zhi behind the pillar. Zhao Zhi hated to wear the most to officially participate in the so-called drinking party with these politicians, if it wasn't the day to sign the alliance paper, Zhao Zhi would not be here at all, so when Vincent kindly reminded him, Zhao Zhi's reaction was very cold.
"Did the president ask you to ask? You say that my men have been in Germany for a long time, and as long as the exact location of the mania is determined, the decapitation operation can be carried out at any time. Zhao Zhi took a sip of red wine, ignored Vincent, who was already stupid, and walked towards Old Rod who beckoned to him.
Vincent was indeed stunned by Zhao Zhi's answer, like all the people, Vincent also thought that the people who carried out the decapitation operation were the guys who participated in the simulation exercise, but Zhao Zhi now said that his people were already in Germany, that is to say, there were other people who carried out the decapitation operation, could it be that the skills of the Thunder lurking in Germany were the best, and the mercenaries who defeated an infantry company were just substitutes?
Zhao Zhicai doesn't care what Vincent thinks about what he just said, in fact, Thunder has overseas bases in various European countries, and the people stationed in overseas bases are the best among foreign mercenaries. The most important thing Zhao Zhi needs to do now is to contact the big fat man Goering, as long as he can get Hitler's whereabouts from Goering, the mercenary team sent by Thunder in Germany can launch an attack in the shortest possible time, and in front of the powerful Thunder mercenaries, assassinating Hitler is not just an idea.
