Tang Qiuli also guessed that the current situation in the eastern battlefield is quite unfavorable for the Soviet army, the war situation in the European part of the Soviet Union is not good, the German offensive is in full swing, and Moscow is always facing the pressure of German soldiers.

According to his own understanding of Stalin, the supreme leader of the Soviet Union, greedy for territory, is like a dog guarding meat and bones, and anyone who tries to get close will be barked at, but in the current situation, it is possible to take out the land, but it will never be too much, take out other things, what else does the Soviet Union have, can it be exchanged for independent division troops, and not to do anything to the Soviet army?

Thinking about it, Tang Qiuli has no way to judge, Zhao Yuhe's negotiation method is good, forcing Molotov to show his hole cards, "Yuhe, it's not easy to judge now, but if you can't exceed tomorrow, Molotov will show his hole cards, and the Soviets can't afford to drag it out!" Tang Qiuli said.

Zhao Yuhe smiled lightly and said, "Commander, then I'll wait to take the call!" ”

Tang Qiuli thought for a while and advised: "Yuhe, let's send a liaison officer to keep in touch with Molotov, are you thinking about the right person to send?" ”

"Division commander, don't think about it, the captain of the fourth squadron of the guard brigade, Xiao Hansheng, has received Molotov, and he is proficient in Russian! With his skills, those Soviets didn't dare to blow up the thorns! Zhao Yuhe said without thinking.

There is a reason for this, after picking up Molotov and his party from the airport, Xiao Hansheng specially reported to the chief of staff, when he heard that Xiao Hansheng had almost scared his pants to pee his pants with the big bear-like Soviet colonel with his murderous spirit alone, Zhao Yuhe laughed happily, therefore. He thought that Xiao Hansheng was the best candidate to serve as a liaison officer, and when he saw that the division commander proposed it, he recommended him without hesitation.

Tang Qiuli's head was big at that time, Xiao Hansheng was proficient in Russian, but his personality, is he suitable for this? Seeing Zhao Yuhe's relaxed face, he didn't say anything more after taking the posture of the Soviets.

After Zhao Yuhe left, Chu Tian's eyes lit up, he looked at Tang Qiuli and said, "Division Commander." You urgently recalled me, is there any important task? ”

Tang Qiuli's eyes looked at the May sky of Outer Mongolia, with white clouds and air. I can already smell the breath of spring, and it won't be long. on the steppe of Outer Mongolia. It will be green, and the grassland in spring will be shrouded in gunfire and smoke because of one of its own decisions!

He turned around, looked at Chu Tian and said, "Chu Tian, the Soviet army in the Far East and Outer Mongolia. It was a matter of time before all were withdrawn, and negotiations with the USSR would also lead to a satisfactory result for us, our troops in the Ural and Tangnu Mountains. There is no need to worry about the threat from behind, the special operations detachment can be withdrawn! ”

Chutian didn't interject, let alone ask questions, he knew that the division commander recalled himself was by no means a simple matter of deploying the special operations detachment to withdraw, "Chutian, the only task of the special operations detachment in the future is to go deep into the Far East and reconnoiter all the movements of the Japanese army in the Far East in an all-round way, including the number of the unit, weapons and equipment, and the name and characteristics of the commander, etc., I want to grasp the details of the Japanese army, the more detailed the better, do you understand?" ”

Chu Tian's heart moved, and he secretly thought, "Could it be that the division commander is preparing to take action against the Japanese army in the Far East?" But he didn't say what he guessed, stood up, and said in a clear voice: "Yes! Division commander, the special operations detachment will immediately start moving! ”

Unexpectedly, Tang Qiuli made a mistake in judgment, and the next day, the Soviet negotiating delegation did not show its cards, but handed over a diplomatic document asking Tang Qiuli to take out the negotiation framework text, and a statement letter requesting the independent division to remove the negotiator.

It was Molotov who agreed to ask the independent division to come up with the corresponding negotiation document, but the statement letter requesting the removal of the negotiator was not his idea, but several attachés, especially those with a Cheka background, repeatedly insisted, of course, it was the ghost behind Molotov's back, and Zhao Yuhe's influence on them was extremely bad, and the attaché who was responsible for drafting the document was unable to resist, so this statement letter was released.

Of course, in the statement letter, the Soviets did not dare to be presumptuous, and the hard Bangbang's request for a replacement was extremely tactful, and they also knew whose land they were in, as for the reason for asking for replacement, there was only one reason, General Zhao did not understand the negotiation procedures between countries, as well as basic etiquette, therefore, our fragile hearts were greatly damaged, and the implication was to send someone who knew how to talk!

After reading the text submitted by the Soviets, Tang Qiuli was so happy that he leaned forward and back, and he was about to get angry, but Zhao Yuhe was so angry that his face turned pale, especially in front of Xiao Hansheng, some of them couldn't get off the stage, so they were angry, and they wanted to go to Molotov immediately to vent their anger, "Division commander, the Soviets are shameless, how do they know the negotiation procedure, excuse!" I'm going to ask that Molotov, if you want to talk about it, if you want to talk about it, talk to me! ”

Tang Qiuli stopped Zhao Yuhe, who was almost rampant, and said: "Yuhe, what does this mean, the Soviets feel the pressure, you don't play according to the routine, they can't parry, they can only propose a substitution, and also, ask us to come up with a framework for negotiation, do you think it is necessary?" Tang Qiuli's tone was more of an inspiration than a solicitation of opinions.

Zhao Yuhe thought for a while and said: "Division commander, I don't think it's necessary at all, my words have been made very clear, that Molotov wants to play the trick on a diplomatic occasion, he comes to twist and turn, let's go straight and straight, just ignore him, see who is in a hurry!" ”

Tang Qiuli smiled and nodded, although Zhao Yuhe is a layman in diplomatic negotiations, he can grasp the key points, very right, can he afford it, can the Soviets afford it? On the battlefield in the Far East, the Soviet Far Eastern Front was already in danger in the face of the Japanese siege on all sides, and the reinforcements were blocked by the Japanese army in an area several hundred kilometers away from the battlefield.

Molotov made a mistake in his idea, using his old diplomatic fritter method to deal with Zhao Yuhe, Tang Qiuli was just about to speak, Shanhu pushed the door in, and when he saw Zhao Yuhe's angry appearance, he asked curiously: "Chief of Staff Zhao, what is so angry?" ”

Tang Qiuli handed the text brought by the Soviets to the mountain tiger, and after the mountain tiger read it again, he was "pounced" and said: "I'm angry about this, I can't do it, the chief of staff, what are you angry with a few old Maozi, hey, Lao Maozi proposed to replace him, I think, it's better for me to negotiate for the chief of staff, keep the two tricks, so that the old Maozi has no temper at all!" ”

Tang Qiu left a selenium and said, "Just you?" Let's take a break! It's not going to war! ”

The mountain tiger muttered, "Why can't I do it?" It's not like nothing has happened like this! ”

Tang Qiuli ignored the mountain tiger and said to Zhao Yuhe: "Yuhe, help you, squeeze out the Soviets' hole cards, and order Liu Chun's cavalry troops on the front line of Minusinsk to raid the Soviet Outer Mongolian Front from the flank, but to tell Liu Chun, not to cut into the depth of the Soviet army, and leave with one blow, send a telegram to Deputy Division Commander Liu, the troops in the Far East intend to shorten the distance between the troops of the two fronts of the Soviet army, and create a situation for the Soviet army that we will attack at any time. Deputy Division Commander Liu will understand! ”

After waiting for a day and not seeing any reply from the independent division, Molotov was very anxious and depressed, and asked the liaison officer Xiao Hansheng, but this Chinese major officer, like a dumb man, did not say a word, and asked too much, so he stared at you with cold and cold eyes, so that your heart was hairy, and your throat and eyes were dry.

Molotov was almost crazy, he couldn't guess Tang Qiuli's steps, he had no choice but to wait in the hotel, and in the evening of the next day, a top-secret telegram came from Moscow, and the content of the telegram made Molotov's face change greatly, and he almost jumped in surprise.

The telegram said, "In Outer Mongolia, Vasilevsky's troops were attacked by the cavalry units of the Independent Division, and although the losses were not large, they showed a strict situation, and in the Outer Mongolia region, Tang Qiuli had other troops, and the cavalry was one of them." ”

"In the Far East, the independent divisions of the Trans-Khinganling Front and the Baikal Front, which were trailing, suddenly approached the rear of these two armies and assumed an offensive posture, judging from this, Tang Qiuli put pressure on us because he had not reached a negotiation agreement with the Soviet Union, and at this critical moment in the campaign to support Zhukov's troops, the ill-intentioned actions of the independent divisions will undoubtedly affect the Far Eastern battlefield and reinforce the Far Eastern Front!"

At the end of the telegram, Molotov was urged to reach an agreement with Tang Qiuli as much as possible, and if necessary, on the basis of the original, more concessions could be made, and the specific scale was in Molotov's own hands, the telegram was sent in the name of Stalin, who was familiar with Stalin's style, and had no doubt about this, and the rest of the political bureau did not have this power.

But the crux of the matter is that it has been two days since arriving in Kulen, except for meeting the Major General Zhao who did not understand anything, and having a short and unpleasant conversation, even a symbolic meeting has not been held, and the Chinese have hung themselves in a small hotel, and in such a passive military and diplomatic situation, if they do not show their cards, it will definitely not work, and they have been rolling in the diplomatic circles for half their lives, how can they meet such a second stunned person as Major General Zhao, and now it seems that it is probably Tang Qiuli who specially used it to deal with himself, cunning!

In his heart, Molotov had already scolded Tang Qiuli countless times for taking advantage of people's dangers, not being trustworthy, being sinister and cunning, and after scolding, he said weakly to the attaché: "Submit our conditions to the Chinese, add the Tangnu Ulianghai area on the original basis, and in the text, clearly tell Tang Qiuli, this is our final bottom line!" ”

At this moment, Molotov's heart was torn apart.
