Chapter 425: The Mysterious Meeting (Asking for Subscriptions, Asking for Monthly Tickets, Asking for Various !! )
The contradictions between the Soviet Union and Germany have a long history, and this kind of hatred condensed with blood and life is definitely not something that can be eliminated by a paper contract, so there must be a war between the Soviet Union and Germany. However, how could the Soviet Red Army compete with the Germans in this way?
In addition, the presence of the Japanese was also very worrying to the Soviet government, and the hatred between Japan and the Soviet Union was not much smaller than that between Germany and the Soviet Union, and even a major war broke out between the two countries last year. The Soviet Union is now very worried that Germany and Japan will attack the Soviet Union from both east and west directions at the same time, and if Germany or Japan were alone, the Soviet government would not be afraid. But if Germany and Japan join forces, then the problem will be big, and one careless will really ruin the party and the country.
The Soviets feared Japan as a whole more than Germany, even though the Soviet government felt that the invincible Japanese army was not as strong as they boasted. However, the Soviet Union itself knows its own situation, the center of gravity of the Soviet Union is in Europe, and the strength of the Far East is very weak, and if Japan really wants to fight hard with the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union may not be Japan's opponent, after all, Europe is too far away.
More importantly, the Soviet Union's defense line was too long, and there were too many places for Japan to attack, whether it was land or sea, as long as the Japanese were willing, they could launch an all-round attack on the Soviet Far East Red Army from any unexpected place at any time.
In this way, it is particularly important for China to be able to contain Japan, which is why the Soviet government has spared no effort to win over and support China in recent years.
Since Germany stirred up the situation in Europe. The Soviet Government has become more aware of the importance of China, especially since the Eighth Theater has just defeated the Japanese Army in North China, and the Soviet Government believes that once a war breaks out between the Soviet Union and Japan, China will be a very powerful helper, and for this reason the Soviet Government has increased its support for China.
In addition to granting a large amount of interest-free loans to the Nationalist Government, it was also willing to provide the Nationalist Government with 20 divisions of Soviet-made weapons. At the same time, the Soviet Union once again sent General Zhukov to visit China, which was unprecedented in history.
Like his last visit to China, Zhukov spent two days in Chongqing and then flew to Saibei Province for a three-day goodwill visit to the Eighth War Zone.
Zhukov visited. Chen Feng, of course, welcomes it. In recent years, he has benefited a lot from the Soviet Union. Of course, the Soviet Union also made a lot of money from him, and the penicillin drugs alone made the Soviets make a lot of money. However, the two sides are still very satisfied with this cooperation model, after all, win-win is king.
Zhukov visited. In addition to strengthening the ties between the two sides. He also made a request to Chen Feng on behalf of the Soviet government. It is hoped that Chen Feng's Eighth Theater can send troops to the northeast to contain the main force of the Japanese army when Japan launches a full-scale attack on the Soviet Far East. In return. The Soviet government will provide all-round assistance to the Eighth Theater of Operations in the coming period, including the military industry.
Chen Feng was very interested in this request of the Soviets, but Chen Feng was not interested at all in the assistance that the Soviets said, after all, the Eighth Theater has now established a relatively complete industrial system, and four heavy industrial zones and three light industrial zones have been built throughout the province, which has basically met the needs of the Eighth Theater. The Soviet government's assistance was dispensable for Chen Feng.
But Chen Feng is still more interested in the transaction itself, and he knows that although there are two voices within the Japanese government, there are now two voices, the south and the north, but Japan finally chose to go south instead of going north. Therefore, until the surrender of Japan, the Japanese army did not cross the Sino-Soviet border to attack the Soviet Union, but the Soviet Union took the initiative to go south to Northeast China after defeating Germany, and annihilated the Kwantung Army, the most elite and largest military group of the Japanese army, in one fell swoop.
So Chen Feng told Zhukov very bluntly that the transaction could be done, but the remuneration had to be changed. It's not impossible for me to send troops to contain the Japanese army, but the conditions given by the Soviet Union are really unsatisfactory, and I don't need the industrial construction assistance of the Soviet Union.
The Soviet government is also single, just open your mouth for what you want, as long as we can come out without ambiguity. Chen Feng readily put forward his own request, if he wanted the Eighth Theater to send troops to contain Japan and assist the Red Army in the Far East at a critical time, then the Soviet government must transfer the ownership of the Tyumen oil fields to the Chen family.
Chen Feng's request made it very difficult for the Soviet government, but in the end the Soviet government agreed to Chen Feng's condition. According to the opinions of Soviet experts, although the Tyumen oil field is a rich oil field, it will be exploited in 10 to 20 years at most, and it is not a star and a half worse than the Caucasus oil field, and if it were not for Chen Feng's request, the Soviet government may not have made great efforts to exploit this oil field. Since Chen Feng wants it now, in order to ensure the security of the Soviet Union, the Soviet government is still willing to give up this little profit.
Chen Feng didn't really want the Tyumen oil field either, and under his secret operation, the basic construction of the two major oil fields of Shenmu and Urat Qianqi had been completed. As soon as the conditions are ripe, the equipment can be installed to extract oil, and with these two oil fields, it can basically meet the oil consumption of the Eighth War Zone.
He proposed to the Soviet government the ownership of the Tyumen oil fields solely because he needed a pretext when necessary, a pretext for sending troops to Siberia and the USSR as a whole.
Chen Feng knew that with Lao Maozi's greed for territory, he wanted to peacefully recover millions of square kilometers of land from them, which was an almost impossible task, so he would definitely fight with the Soviet Union, so a strong and unified Soviet Union was not what Chen Feng wanted to see. This is also another reason for Chen Feng's deal with Germany, only if Germany is strong, then the outcome of World War II will develop in the direction he wants.
Chen Feng has a huge plan in his heart, and this plan is based on the premise that Germany will win the Battle of Stalingrad, as long as the Germans rewrite the outcome of Stalingrad, then the Soviet Union will not have a chance to turn the tables, and then he will have a chance to realize his ideals.
The Tyumen oil field is an introduction, and at the same time a dark move. At that time, the Soviet government would cooperate well, so he would not mind assisting the Soviet government in fighting Germany, but if the Soviet government did not know how to raise it, he would not rule out sending troops to Siberia under the pretext of protecting the Tyumen oil fields, and it would be possible to wipe out Outer Mongolia by beating the grass and rabbits.
After signing the contract with the Soviet government, Zhukov didn't have the heart to stay in Saibei, so he submitted his resignation to Chen Feng. After sending Zhukov away, Chen Feng convened a military meeting of all senior officers of the Eighth Theater at the level of the group army.
Li Wensheng and others clearly felt that this military meeting was different from previous meetings, first of all, the standard was extremely high; taking the entire 40th Group Army as an example, he was the only one in the entire group army who was qualified to attend the meeting, and even the deputy commander and chief of staff of the group army were not qualified to attend.
The second is the degree of confidentiality, the notice of this meeting was personally notified by Chen Feng, and at the same time ordered them to keep it strictly confidential, and everyone only brought their heads, and all the content of the meeting could be recorded in their heads, and there must be no leakage. In addition, what surprised Li Wensheng even more was that this time they did not need to travel day and night, but Commander Chen sent someone to secretly take them to Guisui.
The meeting time was set for half past seven in the evening, Li Wensheng was led by two guards to the secret venue, and as soon as he walked into the conference room, he saw a few people sitting in the conference room, and it was Li Yifeng, commander-in-chief of the 49th Group Army, who was sitting crookedly, the two who bowed their heads and whispered were the Xu brothers, the one who closed his eyes and recuperated was Yang Yi, the chief of staff of the theater, and Shi Jianfei, the commander-in-chief of the 61st Group Army, who bowed his head and was silent, and then there was no one.
Seeing Li Wensheng push the door in, several old brothers smiled at him and didn't speak. Obviously, they didn't know what Commander Chen called them to do this time, and everyone was a little uneasy, wondering what kind of evil Commander Chen was doing, so no one was in the mood to chat and fart.
When it was almost half past seven, the door of the conference room was pushed open again, and this time it was Andre and Chen Tiebao who came in.
In fact, before coming, everyone knew that there would obviously not be too many people attending this meeting, but they didn't expect it to be like this, there were only 8 people at full capacity, and there were only 9 people with Commander Chen. Looking at the few people in the conference room, which one of them is not the commander of the group army or the deputy commander-in-chief, and all the military ranks are lieutenant generals.
At half past seven, there was a sound of messy footsteps outside the conference room, and then the door of the conference room was opened from the outside, and Commander Chen strode in, followed by two people, one was Commander Chen's second wife, Ye Helina, and the other was Commander Chen's fourth wife, Yan Changxi.
After everyone sat down, Commander Chen got up and said: "Before the meeting, I said three or two meeting disciplines, the first one: the confidentiality level of this meeting is 5A, no one can disclose the content of the meeting to anyone, and those who violate the order will be shot!" Article 2: No minutes are allowed in this meeting, and those who violate the order will be shot! Can everyone do both? ”
"Yes!"
