Chapter 846 The Soviets Extending an Olive Branch

After Zhukov's First Army in the Far East was surrounded by Tang Qiuli's troops in the Sutai area of Uriya, and the Soviets paid a great price before saving the lives of Zhukov and hundreds of thousands of Soviet soldiers, the Soviets did not have a good life in the Far East.

Now, the troops of Timoshenko's Second Army in the Far East, which were surrounded by nearly 600,000 troops under the command of the commander of the Kwantung Army, General Kenkichi Ueda, were surrounded in the Arsenyev area, and the situation was extremely critical, and Stalin asked Molotov, who was in charge of foreign affairs of the CPSU, to seek the quickest and most effective way to change Timoshenko's current situation.

Molotov knew the leader's intentions, and with this ability, only the insatiable Chinese Tang Qiuli would launch an offensive in the northeast region, and the Kwantung Army troops would inevitably mobilize troops to return to the northeast in order to keep the invasion base that had been operating for many years, so that the pressure on Timoshenko would be greatly reduced.

Although Stalin and Molotov did not know that this was the most typical strategy in the ancient Chinese art of war, "encircling Wei to save Zhao", they instinctively chose this method, although this method was a last resort choice for the Soviets and Stalin, and it was also the only choice at present.

Stalin knew that as long as Zhukov's Far Eastern Front was formed, more than 400,000 troops would be pressed into the Far East, changing the pattern and situation of the Far East, and containing the frenzied attack of the Japanese, it would be easy to do so, and even the Japanese would be repelled from Manchuria, but this would take time, and time was the most fatal factor for Timoshenko.

In the face of the siege of the Kwantung Army on all sides, Timoshenko could hold out for a few days, and Stalin knew in his heart that it would take a month for the Far Eastern Front to go to the battlefield at the earliest, and the troops of the Transcaucasian Front that were rescued were stopped by the First Army of the Kwantung Army in the mountains and forests of Khabarovsk, and it was also difficult to move an inch.

The Kamchatka Front, which could have been reinforced nearby, was pressed by the Second Army of the Kwantung Army to fight on the Kamchatka Peninsula, and it was still difficult to protect itself, and it was able to hold back more than 100,000 Kwantung Army, and he had done his best, and he could not expect to rescue Timoshenko, and Stalin had millions of male soldiers, but he could not put them into the Far Eastern battlefield as quickly as possible, so he was very angry.

Stretching out a begging hand to the Chinese scoundrel whom he had always hated to the extreme was undoubtedly a great humiliation for Stalin, the strongman of the Soviet Union who had been strong all his life, and he knew better that this time, the Chinese scoundrel would definitely hammer a blow on the Soviets, not only did he know it, but Molotov and all the members of the Soviet Political Bureau.

If it weren't for the fact that there was no other way out, Stalin would never have wanted to bow his head to his enemies, and Timoshenko's Second Army in the Far East, which was no less important to the Soviet Union than Zhukov's, in this case, Stalin had no choice but to bow his head, which was the right choice made by a sophisticated politician when it came to the fundamental interests of the country.

However, the sense of shame in Stalin's heart went deep into the bone marrow, looking at Molotov's slightly hunched back and disappearing at the end of the long corridor, Stalin sighed deeply, "This old comrade-in-arms has to face again, the Chinese who blackmailed into xìng, the pressure on him is no less than himself." ”

"Tang Qiuli, the great Soviets today will have to repay you a hundred times in the future," Stalin gritted his teeth. Secretly ruthless in his heart, in the light blue eyes, there was a dark cold light, like a wounded wolf, while tiǎn the wound, while peeking at the enemy who injured him, ready to pounce at any time.

Before leaving Moscow, Molotov sent a secret telegram to the Soviet ambassador to China, Ovishinsky, "Comrade Ovishinsky, contact Tang Qiuli, China's No. 2 person, as soon as possible, and arrange for me to meet with him.

After receiving a top-secret telegram from his boss, Ambassador Ovyshinsky did not dare to slack off, he knew that this Soviet People's Commissar was very powerful, and it was absolutely effective to speak in front of Stalin, delaying his errand, and killing himself was as simple as crushing an ant to death.

Not bad, there was a reply soon, Vice Chairman Tang was currently in Qingdao, Shandong, so the trembling Soviet ambassador entrusted the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to transfer Jiāo to Tang Qiuli an enthusiastic and extremely humble telegram, knowing that the Soviet ambassador was looking for Tang Qiuli like crazy, and Chairman Chiang, who was sitting in the capital, wondered in his heart, what is the difference between the Soviets and Tang Qiuli?

Speaking from the heart, Chairman Jiang was more worried than happy about Tang Qiuli's recovery of the ancient region outside the country, "Raising tigers is a problem, and the wings are gradually growing," this is his final sentence to Tang Qiuli at the moment, just looking at Tang Qiuli's set of activities in the ancient area of Méng, it can be seen that this person's ambition already has the capital to compete with himself, plus a large number of equipment and strategic materials from the Soviets, it is even more powerful.

In the early winter of 1938, Chairman Chiang had two very uncomfortable concerns, one was Tang Qiuli, the de facto king of the north, who was growing uncontrollably, and the other was the Eighth Route Army, which was developing in North China and secretly increasing its fat.

Thinking about Chairman Jiang's heart, he panicked, this Tang Qiuli didn't know what to think, and let ** grow on his own territory, "Niang Xipi, let Tang Qiuli and ** go to fight the Japanese, I can't toss the old book," Chairman Jiang thought hatefully.

Chen Cheng, chief of staff of the Nanjing Xingying, former enemy commander of the Tongguò Military Committee, and Chairman Jiang gradually transferred their descendants to the southwest area, nominally for rotational training and recuperation, but in fact to preserve their strength.

Tang Qiuli, who was in Qingdao, did not know what Chairman Chiang was thinking, but he knew Chairman Chiang's intention to mobilize troops in this way, and he pretended not to know, because without the troops of the Central Army, a war with the Japanese would reduce a lot of trouble.

After receiving a telegram from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Tang Qiuli was slightly stunned at first, but then immediately understood Stalin's intentions, and Tang Qiuli knew everything about the war in the Far East, and through the local intelligence network of the Guò Independent Division, he would receive detailed information about the battle stationing every day.

The Soviets couldn't bear it anymore, they thought of themselves, and wanted to do it themselves in the Northeast to pull back the Japanese troops, and it was also strange that they had just received a large amount of benefits from the Soviets, and then they had the Pacific Fleet in their hands.

"It's not kind to be a man, this time, it's another big deal," Tang Qiuli shook his head and thought, although he thought so, he would definitely not be soft-hearted, "Call back to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I will fly to Chongqing in three days to meet with the Soviet envoy," he ordered the staff officer.

The Soviets are on fire, Tang Qiu is not in a hurry, the fire has not yet arrived, Timoshenge can still support it for a few days, it is beneficial to delay this matter, besides, Brother Qiuquan and the Pacific Fleet, in a day and night, will arrive at Qingdao Military Port, this is their first fleet, how can they make a big scene, personally go to the dock to greet them.

The Soviets fought Tang Qiuli's idea, Chairman Chiang was worried about Tang Qiuli's forces, and the Japanese were not idle, in Tokyo, Japan, in the Emperor's Palace, Emperor Hirohito read the battle report of the commander of the Kwantung Army, Ueda Kenkichi, lingered for a long time in front of the large military map of Manchuria, while looking at it and muttering from time to time, "I want the west, it's very good"

Suddenly, his body shook, his face turned pale, and the beads of sweat on his brain came down, and General Binshanyuan, the Minister of War who was accompanying him, hurriedly supported the emperor's body, thinking that His Majesty had a heart attack or a sudden cerebral hemorrhage, and hurriedly called the imperial doctor, Hirohito waved his hand weakly to stop Binshanyuan's panic.

Bin Shanyuan was confused, his majesty was fine just now, how could he blink his eyes, just like his dead father and mother, his face was crying and mourning, even if Queen Liangzi was **, it couldn't be like this? He tried to see the clue from Hirohito's face, but he didn't see anything except his pale face and dead fish-like eyes.

"Aiqing, you can go to the map and take a look," Hirohito said weakly, Binshan Yuan was short-sighted, almost put his face on the map, after a while, as if he was stung by a scorpion, he took a few steps back, almost fell, turned around, and his face was already sallow, his head was cold in a sweat, and his palms were cold, and it looked like chōu had dried blood.

From the deployment of the Manchurian Kwantung Army, there are less than 200,000 troops in the huge Manchuria, and they are all second-rate local garrisons, and the Jīng Rui troops of the Kwantung Army were all transferred to the Far East battlefield by Ueda Kenkichi to fight the Soviets.

From Ueda Kenkichi to other senior generals of the Kwantung Army, they all ignored a tiger squatting beside him, that is, Tang Qiuli's more than 300,000 jīng sharp troops on the front line of Jinzhou in western Liaoning.

Bin Shan Yuan can also think of the consequences of Yan zhòng with the back of his head, with less than 200,000 second-rate troops of the Kwantung Army, it is absolutely difficult to resist Tang Qiuli's army of more than 300,000 tigers and wolves, and in less than two days, Fengtian will be lost, followed by the Liaodong Peninsula, and then South Manchuria and North Manchuria.

Binshan Yuan stayed there, he didn't dare to think about it anymore.
