Chapter 1975 Referendum
After Bai Chongxi heard Paul Stikaff's words, he was very surprised, he didn't know about this matter before, this matter, only Hu Hao and the others knew about it, and the people below didn't know about the Soviet Union's overall integration into China.
"This, Mr. Paul, we didn't know about this before, and we had to ask our own country, but I wonder how you want to merge into our China?
We in China have no ambition to annex your Soviet Union, our territory is already big enough, and it is very difficult to govern it well! Bai Chongxi looked at Paul Sticafe and asked puzzled.
"Hehe, we know this, and we also believe that China will not annex our Soviet Union, but General Bai, we Soviet people need your help from China, maybe you should know,
In this war, our Soviet Union suffered the greatest losses, the population was nine out of ten, not even one remained, and the industrial base was all destroyed!
Not to mention the economic aspect, we are the entire Soviet people, we have counted 7.21 million people left, of which there are more than 2 million old people, and less than 3 million are left between 20 and 50 years old, of which 2 million are still women, General Bai, such a population,
With such economic conditions, you say, will we still be able to hold our USSR?
Another important point is that our neighbor is Germany, Germany has always wanted to defeat our Soviet Union, if it weren't for your help from China, our Soviet Union would have perished a long time ago, and even these 7 million people would not be left, so we can only merge into China in order to protect our Soviet people! Paul Stikaff smiled bitterly at Bai Chongxi and explained to them.
"But now we will also garrison troops here, of course, if you Soviet Union agree, and if you don't agree, we will not garrison troops. But as long as you agree, we will still be able to protect your Soviet people, and we still dare to guarantee this! Bai Chongxi immediately said,
"I know that I am completely convinced of this, but we, the people of the Soviet Union, report me, report that the soldiers of the troops below me, do not want to fight anymore, we want to be able to live in peace. It doesn't matter if it's poor, as long as you can live, and merging into your China is the best choice.
The last time I went to Xi'an, I directly told your commander-in-chief about this matter, and I originally wanted to merge it directly, but the commander-in-chief did not agree, saying that they would solicit public opinion, and I hope that more than two-thirds of the people will agree. Only then can we be incorporated into China, and you China will accept us, so this time we are here to ask you for help! I hope General Bai will agree! Paul Sticaeff explained to Bai Chongxi.
"Oh. It turns out that this is the case1" Bai Chongxi then understood why he came to him for help, but he didn't know if he could help or not. He didn't get orders from above.
"In that case, I'll ask for advice later, if you agree. We'll help naturally! Do you think it's okay? Bai Chongxi asked Paul Sticaff.
"Yes, we also sent an invitation letter to the Chinese High Command, we plan to hold a referendum the day after tomorrow, and the night after tomorrow, we will count those votes, and we need you to witness it then!" Paul Stikaef said right away.
"Okay, I'll send a telegram to the headquarters immediately to ask about this!" Bai Chongxi nodded and said.
"Good! I'm waiting for your good news! When Paul Sticaf heard it, he immediately stood up, and then said goodbye to Bai Chongxi, and after they left, Bai Chongxi and Xie Chunhua looked at each other for a while, and then shook their heads and laughed at each other.
"The Soviet Union, what a powerful country it used to be, has now become like this, hey! Think about our country, we still have to feel lucky! You really have to feel lucky! Bai Chongxi said with emotion.
"Yes, we did not lose the country under the invasion of the Japanese devils, on the contrary, we stood up strongly, it is not easy! But the devil is too ruthless, and this murder is too much, right? Xie Chunhua also nodded, but when he thought of the people in the Soviet Union, most of them were slaughtered by Japanese devils, and he also scolded in his heart!
"This is not something that the Japanese devil can do alone, when Germany fought the Soviet Union, it did not kill the people of the Soviet Union, and then it was winter, I heard that I don't know how much starvation died, and after the devil came, he continued to kill, and Germany didn't care, so it caused the current situation! The USSR became like this, and Germany was responsible! Bai Chongxi explained to Xie Chunhua.
"Well, too, Japan has become like this now, not only is it a matter of retribution, but such a country should not exist at all, I don't understand, why the United States and Germany still want to shelter such a country!" After Xie Chunhua nodded and finished speaking, he was very incomprehensible about the protection of Japan by the United States and Germany!
"No matter, I'll call Hu Shuai and ask him what he means, and use troops to defend the referendum for the Soviet Union, this still needs Hu Shuai's authorization!" Bai Chongxi walked to the phone room as he spoke, and when he got there, he dialed Hu Hao's phone.
After Hu Hao's secretary connected, he heard the password on the other side and immediately called Hu Hao to answer the phone.
"Lao Bai, what's wrong? Is there a problem on the side of the United States? Hu Hao still didn't understand Bai Chongxi's call to himself,
Now there is nothing major on the Soviet side, half of the time, Bai Chongxi sent a telegram to the headquarters, and now he called himself, Hu Hao guessed that there was a problem there.
"There is no problem, the seizure has been completed, the specific situation, I have already sent it to the command, and now it is such a situation! Just now Paul Stikaeff came to me, saying that he wanted me to send troops to defend their referendum, and I dare not call the shots on this matter, so I want to ask you, do you want to send troops? Bai Chongxi immediately explained to Hu Hao.
"Referendum, referendum, isn't it!" Hu Hao was surprised to hear the news.
"Yes, the day after tomorrow, Paul Stikaeff sent an invitation to the commander-in-chief, hoping that our country can send people to participate, and I also hope that our troops can be dispatched to protect their referendum action, you see?" Bai Chongxi explained again.
"You wait for this, I need to find out about the situation, why is it so fast!" Hu Hao was a little confused,
Although he knew that the Soviet Union was going to hold a referendum, but it was too fast, Hu Hao didn't have any preparations in his heart, and he also wanted to command them to discuss what to do about this matter, after Hu Hao hung up the phone, he called the commander-in-chief's office from an ordinary phone.
"Commander, I'm Hu Hao, I just received a call from Bai Chongxi, saying that the Soviet Union is about to hold a referendum?" After Hu Hao and the other commanders answered the phone, they asked the commander.
"Well, I just learned that the foreign affairs department has just sent an invitation letter from the Soviet Union, and I am still thinking about whether to send someone over to participate!" The commander also said immediately.
"Then what do you mean, do you want to go?" Hu Hao immediately asked!
"What do you mean, I knew before, you seem to be a little unwilling!" The commander asked rhetorically.
"I don't want to, if they agree to the referendum, I'm still willing to accept it!" When Hu Hao heard it, he immediately emphasized,
The reason why he wanted the Soviet referendum was to avoid troublesome things in the future, and after the referendum was over, China could not be blamed for something!
"Well, then go, I'll let the deputy commander lead the team over, your army, who do you see is appropriate, do you have time?" When the commander heard Hu Hao agree, he immediately said to go, it would definitely not work if he didn't go!
"On our side, I definitely can't go, and the commander-in-chief can't go either, Commander Peng is still patrolling in the south, and Li Shuai is now in the northwest, I can see him going!" Hu Hao thought for a moment and said to the commander.
"Then Li Shuai goes, I'll give him a call, if the referendum is clear, then let Paul Stikaeff come to Xi'an, and we will sign the contract!" The commander said with a clapping voice.
"Yes! Then I'll let Bai Chongxi agree to send troops to protect the referendum? Hu Hao immediately asked.
"Okay!" The commander-in-chief agreed, and after Hu Hao hung up the phone, he immediately called Bai Chongxi and agreed that Bai Chongxi would send troops to defend the referendum, and the next morning, the Soviet Union was full of propaganda about the referendum.
At this time, Germany and the United States also knew the news, at this time, Truman did not go back at all, and was still in Berlin, Germany, after hearing the news, he immediately demanded that Hitler be killed.
At this time, Hitler also wanted to meet Truman and discuss this matter, which was a big deal for Germany and the United States! Because if the Soviet Union is really incorporated into China, then China will really intervene in Europe, and the impact on Germany will be very great, and after that, Germany will have to face China on its own.
And the United States is the same, Stalin, who is supported by the United States, is still on the side of the United States at this time, he is still the nominal commander of the Soviet Union, although now he has no power at all in the Soviet Union, but the United States is not willing to accept such a large area of the Soviet Union, so it will be incorporated into China as a whole!
"Your Excellency, this is not good news for us! There is a direct impact on you Germany, and I think you Germany should prevent this from happening! When Truman saw Hitler, his first words were to persuade Germany to prevent such a thing from happening.
"Damn, I know I have to stop it, but you tell sรน, how can we stop it, can't we send troops?" When Hitler heard this, he was very anxious.
But he really has no choice, it must be a big deal to fight, but if he doesn't fight, it seems that there is no other good way! (To be continued......)
