The failure of the defense of Ulaanbaatar has made Zhukov realize the strength of Chen Feng's department, which is far beyond his and Stalin's predictions, and so far in the war, Zhukov has keenly discovered that Chen Feng's war with the Soviet Union is not to defeat or destroy the Soviet Union, but seems to have other intentions. But what exactly the attempt was, he still does not know.

The defeat in this battle also made Zhukov realize that it would be difficult for Chen Feng's troops to continue fighting, and it would be difficult to replenish ammunition. However, it was only a little difficult, but for the Soviet Union it was not just a difficulty, but a real disaster.

Germany's ambitions are becoming more and more obvious, the intelligence services have just learned a top-secret piece of information, three days ago the German envoy and the Finnish government reached an agreement that Germany will provide all-round assistance to the Finnish government, including military transformation and economic support, which is another diplomatic success of the German government after the German-Japanese-Italian Triple Entente.

To the greater frightening of the Soviet Union, the German government was now in contact with the Romanian government, and the two sides seemed to be in good harmony. Once Romania fell into the arms of the Germans, it would not be a good thing for the Soviet Union, and if the Germans had any idea of the Soviet Union, they could attack the Soviet Union from Poland, Finland and Romania.

Compared with Chen Feng's department in the Far East, Stalin was most worried and afraid of Germany and Hitler, after all, no matter how strong Chen Feng's department was, he was just a local warlord, while Germany was a complete country with its own complete military and political system.

In order to respond to the crisis in Europe with all its might. Zhukov believed that no matter whether Chen Feng's subordinates had the intention of going north or not, the two sides must hold peace talks, otherwise the great Soviet Union would face an east-west attack from the two major military blocs.

The venue for the peace talks was Ulaanbaatar, and the participants in the peace talks were not only Chen Feng's ministry and the Soviet Union, but also the former Mongolian government and the opposition.

Looking at Chen Feng in military uniform, Zhukov's heart was very complicated, the reason why Chen Feng's department was able to grow up in such a short period of time has a lot to do with the support of the Soviet Union, at that time, in order to contain the Japanese, the Soviet Union's support for Chen Feng's department was not small.

But. I didn't expect that what they raised would be a hungry tiger. Turning around and coming to such a battle with them, the most unacceptable thing for Zhukov was that the great Soviet Red Army actually lost, and it lost very badly. It's really a tiger for trouble.

"Chen. It's a shame we're meeting in this situation! Zhukov first said with a wry smile.

Chen Feng said lightly: "It's really a pity. We're supposed to be friends, very good friends, aren't we? ”

"Since it's a friend. So why can't you and your army make certain concessions, is that what you want to see now? Zhukov said.

"I regret that we will meet again in this capacity, but I regret even more that you Soviet betrayal of your allies, when you made peace with Japan and betrayed China's interests, we were no longer friends, but enemies! I and my army will not compromise with the enemy, so the main culprit for today's situation is not us, but you! Chen Feng replied.

Regarding the relevant provisions in the "Soviet-Japanese Neutrality Treaty", Zhukov is clear, so when Chen Feng said this, Zhukov was speechless to refute, he could deny it, but Zhukov knew better that for a tyrant like Chen Feng, denial would only highlight his ignorance and would not be of any help to the next negotiations.

Zhukov paused and said, "Chen, how can you end this war and say your request!" ”

"Request? No, I'm just going to make a request, not a request. Mr. Zhukov, please make it clear that it is now you who want to negotiate with us, not us who take the initiative to negotiate with you, and when you come to this negotiating table, you and your government must be ready to be slaughtered! ”

"Chen, you have to know that although your army is indeed very strong, its combat effectiveness is very strong. But how many troops do you have in total, 600,000? 800,000? Or a million? And our great Soviet Union alone has 15 republics, and the army has more than 5 million, and these armies deployed in the Far East are only a small part of all the Soviet Red Army, and their combat effectiveness is not at the same level as the armies of the European part at all, if Comrade Stalin transferred 200,000 European troops to the Far Eastern Front, you and your army will not be so easy. Zhukov said.

"Hmph, Mr. Zhukov, apparently you haven't put me and my army on the same level as the Soviet Union, but that's okay. I can tell you this, if I want, if the Japanese do not make trouble, I am fully sure that I can sweep through Siberia and the Far East within one year, and I have the strength to destroy the entire Soviet Union within five years, please do not doubt my strength, and I am not afraid to tell you that this time it is only two divisions under my command that will compete with your Far Eastern Front and the Mongolian People's Army, and I still have 20 divisions like this. Speaking of this, Chen Feng's voice changed: "In addition, Mr. Zhukov doesn't know the crisis that your country is facing now, and the German mustache seems to be a little impatient, and I won't tell you that the German envoy has arrived in Guisui now,"

Zhukov was suddenly shocked in his heart, he was not clear at all about the news of the arrival of the German envoy in Guisui, but Chen Feng was treacherous and treacherous, and it was not ruled out that this guy was lying.

Perhaps seeing Zhukov's thoughts, Chen Feng said lightly: "Actually, it doesn't matter if what I said is true or not, what matters is how much Mr. Zhukov knows about the crisis of the Soviet Union itself, isn't it?" ”

"Chen, say your request, if it's not too much, I can make the decision to agree to your request!" Zhukov said.

Chen Feng looked at Zhukov and said: "Actually, my demands are very simple, there are 4 in total, the first demand is to abolish all the unequal treaties signed between the Qing government and Tsarist Russia, and the Soviet Union must unconditionally return all the land that has invaded China." The second requirement is that all Soviet troops must withdraw from the Mongolian plateau within half a month, this is the territory of China, the whole of Mongolia is only a province of China, not some independent Mongolia, it is illegal for Soviet troops to be stationed here, as long as there is a Soviet soldier still standing on Mongolian soil, I will regard you as still invading China. The third demand is that the Soviet Union must take responsibility for this war and compensate our army for the losses in this war, totaling 500 million US dollars. The fourth demand is that the Soviet Union has repeatedly defaulted on the joint development of the Tyumen oil fields by both sides, and is suspected of embezzling our funds, so it must be held accountable for this. The Soviet Union wanted to compensate us 10 million tons of oil in a short period of time, and at the same time resume cooperation between the two sides on this project. ”

Chen Feng said all his four conditions in one breath, and then stared at Zhukov to see how he reacted.

Zhukov didn't expect Chen Feng's requirements to be so harsh, and the latter two were okay to say, isn't it just a loss of money, this Soviet Union is acceptable, and he was ready to be slaughtered before coming. But the first two are terrible, and all the land that has been encroached upon in China has been returned, and it has been since the Qing Dynasty.

Although Zhukov did not calculate how many square kilometers there were, but considering that most of the Far East was China's territory before, and several republics such as Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan also had many lands belonging to China, if all of them were returned, the Soviet Union would lose at least 2 million square kilometers of land, not to mention a complete Mongolia, and if this was added, it would lose at least 3.5 million square kilometers of territory, and the Soviet Union would not agree to it anyway.

"Chen, these four conditions of yours are too harsh, we can't promise you!" Zhukov said with a frown.

Chen Feng nodded and said, "It's better if you don't agree, then we'll continue to fight." Anyway, now that the German envoy and the Japanese representative have arrived in Guisui, I was not going to meet them, but now it seems that I must talk to them. ”

After saying that, Chen Feng got up and was about to leave, anyway, it wouldn't make much sense to talk about it any longer.

At this moment, a Soviet officer hurriedly walked in and whispered in Zhukov's ear for a while, after listening to the officer's words, Zhukov hurriedly said to Chen Feng, who had already walked to the door: "Chen, please stay!" ”

The corners of Chen Feng's mouth lifted and said, "What, does Mr. Zhukov plan to agree to my conditions?" ”

"Oh, that's not true, but don't you have an old saying in China, what is it called asking for a lot of money to pay back! I think we still need to talk about it, and although your terms are really unacceptable, there are still a lot of things we can talk about between us! Zhukov said.

Chen Feng returned to the negotiating table again, sat down and said, "I wonder how Mr. Zhukov plans to talk to me?" ”

Zhukov thought for a while and said: "Chen, I know you and your army better, and I also have a better understanding of the international situation in China, whether you want to admit it or not, your China's biggest enemy now is still Japan, not our Soviet Union, so we still have common interests in some aspects." ”

"So what?" Chen Feng said lightly.

"I can call the shots, double the war reparations, and support your 10 megaton steel mills, as well as 5 power plants, 5 fertilizer plants, 5 tractor factories, 3 automobile plants, and 20 other factories according to your needs, as long as it does not involve Soviet military secrets, we can support you, these are the things you desperately need. In addition, I can decide to give you the Tyumen oil field and its ownership free of charge, as long as you cancel the first condition. Zhukov said loudly.

It can be seen that Zhukov has made a bloody investment this time, raising the war reparations to 1 billion US dollars at one time, and also proposing such large-scale industrial aid, and more importantly, completely giving the Tyumen oil field to Chen Feng, which is equivalent to solving the oil crisis in Chen Feng's department, but it is not clear what choice Chen Feng will make.
