Regarding the neutrality treaty signed by the Soviet Union and Japan this time, Chen Feng could only say that what should come will come after all, but he didn't expect it to be so fast. In spite of this, the Soviet-Japanese treaty was still quite dissatisfied, because some of its contents were really unacceptable, especially the Soviet Union's announcement that it recognized "Manchukuo" and at the same time recognized Japan's interests in North China, which was a serious insult and betrayal of the "Sino-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact."

Moreover, in order to avoid angering the Japanese, the Soviet Union began to reduce after the signing of the treaty and stopped supporting China after the outbreak of the Soviet-German war, and at the same time withdrew volunteer pilots in China, so that China lost an important source of materials for the war of resistance. This is a very heavy blow to the Chinese people who are fighting a bloody battle against the Japanese invaders.

In addition, after the signing of this neutrality treaty between the Soviet Union and Japan, the Chinese government, which had lost the mother-in-law of the Soviet Union, ushered in an even more serious national crisis. The pro-Japanese faction will certainly not miss this excellent opportunity, and will certainly wantonly spread the fallacy that resistance against Japan is doomed, and they will even openly defect to the Japanese invaders. In fact, it is precisely because during this period of history that during this period of history, there were 58 high-ranking Kuomintang generals who defected to the enemy, more than 20 members of the Kuomintang Central Committee below the vice president level, and as many as 500,000 troops who defected to the enemy, accounting for 62% of the total number of puppet troops. Therefore, it can be seen how harmful the "Soviet-Japanese Neutrality Treaty" was, and its appearance greatly aggravated the difficult situation of China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.

Chen Feng did not want to see these things, so he felt that it was necessary to stand up and clarify his position, even if it did not fundamentally help the situation, but it could be seen by the Chinese people. The Chinese do not grovel to the enemy because they have lost an unreliable ally.

For this Su Ri peace, Chen Feng was angry and a little excited at the same time, don't talk about the reason for his anger, the above has already been said very clearly. As for the little excitement in Chen Feng's heart, it can be imagined, Chen Feng has always been very worried about whether his appearance will cause Japan to change its established strategy, not to develop southward, but to adopt the strategy of going north, which will be a disaster for the entire China and even the world.

There are many people who say that whether Japan goes south or north, the end result is still the same. After all, Japan's national power is there. No python can swallow an elephant even if it is mighty. Not to mention in terms of the domestic and international situation at that time. Heading south is one of the best options in Japan.

Proceeding from reality, if Japan wants to attack the Soviet Union, it must first consider the offensive line, and from the perspective of geography and other factors, Japan may have three offensive routes: First, starting from northeast China, Japan can attack the Soviet Far East. The targets will be the Trans-Khingan Mountains and the Siberian region of the Soviet Union. But the area is vast and sparsely populated. Large areas of land were barren and of little strategic and economic value, and it would be extremely difficult to attack the European part of the Soviet Union from here.

The other route was to attack the USSR from Mongolia. However, Japan has hit a wall here, and it is unrealistic to go here, after all, there are millions of Soviet troops guarding here, and it is not easy to get by. However, this is the most reasonable route, and it is either too far or too difficult to go from other places, and if you want to consider fighters, this is the best choice, but Japan will not choose this place easily.

It is a very reasonable route, but it is more problematic, it takes more effort to get from China's Hexi Corridor to Xinjiang and then attack the Soviet Union, and the geography is also complex, the climate is extremely harsh, and more importantly, the Yellow River is a difficult obstacle to overcome.

At this time, China's War of Resistance had entered a stalemate stage, and the Japanese army's all-out offensive against the Kuomintang had stopped. In such a situation, if Japan had to attack the Soviet Union in the north, it would inevitably have to mobilize a large number of troops to go north, and this would create an emptiness on the battlefield in China, and Japan did not want to see this situation.

As for the Chinese side, the Kuomintang was defeated by Japan in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, and if Japan really went north, the Kuomintang would stop and take a breath, and the Communists. Unlike the Eighth Route Army, where the Japanese army was empty, they would take the opportunity to vigorously develop their troops, regain lost territory, and lead the war to areas ruled by Japan, while the Kuomintang would probably watch the Communists and the Japanese desperately fight while hiding behind themselves to continue the armed forces.

Therefore, if Japan attacked the Soviet Union, whichever way it went, it would be confronted by the powerful Soviet Far Eastern Army. When talking about the reason why Japan could not be defeated, the Kuomintang always cited the excuse for the defeat as the fact that the weapons and firepower were inferior to the Japanese army, and the Nationalist army often said that the firepower of one division of the Japanese army exceeded the level of the other army of the Nationalist army, but what would happen to the Japanese army if it faced the Soviet army.

This point of view cannot be said to be wrong, but Chen Feng himself does not agree very much, because the war is not only about these issues, in fact, if Japan declares war on the Soviet Union after Germany starts a war against the Soviet Union, then the Soviet Union will definitely lose. As for the reason, it is quite simple, it is not due to the war itself, but to psychological pressure.

If Japan did attack the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union would face the same situation as France would have faced after the German attack. Germany attacked France, a battle down the Anglo-French coalition army defeated, heavy losses, completely lost the strategic initiative, when France was about to lose, Italy stabbed in the back, Italy declared war on France, and crossed the Alps to attack France, but the Italian army was very incompetent, did not play any role at all, 32 divisions of the Italian army in 4 divisions of the French army under the blockade of the advance.

Although the French held off the Italian army, Italy's entry into the war still made the French feel that the general trend had gone, and the situation of internal and external difficulties could only make the French despair, and it can be said that Italy's participation in the war eventually led to the surrender of France. And if Japan chooses to advance northward, Japan may play this role, and if Japan attacks the Soviet Union at that time, it is very likely to drive the Soviet Union to the point of despair, although the Soviet Union is a country far tougher than the French, and Stalin is much tougher than the head of government of France.

Throughout World War II, several turning points can be found, the most striking and influential of which was the Battle of Moscow. The reason why the Soviet Union was able to win this war was that it had to face up to the impact of Japan's southward expansion strategy on the Battle of Moscow, and it can be said that Japan's southward expansion strategy made the Soviet Union's Battle of Moscow.

It is said that at the end of 1941, Stalin, who was anxious about the war situation, suddenly received a piece of information, and Stalin's secretary only said a word, Sorge's information, and then withdrew. As soon as Stalin wanted to light a pipe with a match, as soon as he heard that it was Sorge's intelligence, he immediately put down the match and pipe in his hand, opened the folder and read it, this information was not very many, and the content was: "It is reported that the Japanese government will not start a war against the Soviet Union before the autumn of 1942." ”

This information was sent by the Soviet spy Sorge, after he sent this information, he was arrested, this information became a great spy, this information is so important that some people list Sorge as the greatest spy in the history of espionage in the world, and his information undoubtedly saved the deteriorating Soviet-German battlefield, became a turning point in the Great Patriotic War of the Soviet Union, and more likely saved the entire form of World War II.

After Stalin learned that Japan would not attack the Soviet Union, he immediately transferred the Siberian division deployed on the Eastern Front back to the Moscow front, and at that time on the Moscow front, the Soviet Union and Germany were doing their best, like two opponents who were battered and exhausted, and the victory or defeat would only depend on which side got reinforcements first, and the arrival of several Siberian divisions made the battlefield form fundamentally reversed, and the tide of the war began to turn against Germany. Then the Soviet army began to launch a counteroffensive in Moscow, dealing a major blow to the German army, the Soviet army began to seize the initiative in the war on the battlefield, and finally doomed Hitler to defeat, it can be said that the destruction of the Nazis began in Moscow.

Chen Feng has been worried that if Japan does not go south as it did in history, but chooses to go north, history is likely to be rewritten, and China will fall into a greater crisis, so Chen Feng is angry at the signing of the neutrality treaty between the Soviet Union and Japan itself, but also has to rejoice and rejoice about the meaning behind the signing of this treaty.

Now that Japan has reached a neutrality agreement with the Soviet Union, it means that Japan will not fight to the death with the Soviet Union, and it is important to note the efforts and costs that Japan has paid to make the Soviet Union neutral during the war, and it will not hesitate to give up many benefits for this. This shows the importance that the Japanese government attaches to the Soviet Union and its expectation that the two countries will strictly abide by the neutrality treaty.

This means that Japan is ideologically ready to go south, and even does not hesitate to start a war with the United States, Britain, the Netherlands, France, and other countries, which is a rare good news for China. As long as Japan dares to take this step, then the time for Japan's demise is not far off.

Chen Feng is looking forward to it, and he is secretly preparing, he is looking forward to Japan's madness after entering the worst of the world, and he is even more prepared to deal with the next war. Although the peace between the Soviet Union and Japan is of great significance and the confidence revealed is gratifying, after all, as far as the current situation is concerned, the negative impact of this incident on China is far greater than the positive one, and the next period of time will certainly have a far-reaching impact on China's war of resistance against Japan, and at the same time, it will also be frightening step by step.

Since the Soviet Union has decided to make peace with Japan, it means that the Soviet Union intends to sacrifice China's interests, which means that the Soviet Union will reconsider or has already considered how to deal with the relations of the whole of China, including the Eighth Theater of Operations. The reduction of aid is only one aspect, and the withdrawal of volunteer pilots to aid China is just a routine matter, and it is not known whether Sino-Soviet trade is completely severed. Now Chen Feng is most concerned about how the Soviet Union intends to deal with the relationship with him and Chen, and how to deal with the Tyumen oil field, knowing that it is only half a month before Yeherina and others go to Tyumen.
