Tang Qiuli can't remember when he was in formal diplomacy, and he gave the other party any means such as dismounting, is it unnecessary, every time the other party is cornered, the so-called negotiation is begging peace.

Seeing that the division commander was puzzled, Zhao Yuhe smiled and said: "Division, you forgot, during the '77 Incident' in the third or seventh year, there were a few vicious battles with the little devils around Pingjin, and in the end, didn't the little devils want to negotiate and divide the demilitarized zone, those few little devils who came to negotiate, but let your dismount be so miserable, at that time, our independent division was still weak, you dared to give the little devils a horse, now, the power of our independent division is not what it used to be, and it is even more common to give those few Soviets a horse!" ”

Looking at Zhao Yu and Zhenzhen's smug appearance, Tang Qiuli was speechless, no matter how to toss the little devil, he didn't plan to talk about it at all, he diverted the topic and said, "Okay, since it's handed over to you, just toss it as you like!" Molotov is almost there, right? ”

Zhao Yuhe looked at his watch and said, "Don't worry, it will take more than ten minutes!" Dry the Soviets for a while, you said that negotiations are like Cantonese people making soup, pay attention to the heat, simmer slowly, and the fire will be rotten until the pig's head is rotten! ”

Tang Qiuli couldn't bear to listen to it, where is this, from this point of view, Zhao Yuhe is really not the material for diplomacy, and hurriedly stopped Zhao Yuhe's following words, and secretly thought to himself: "Is it appropriate to hand over this matter of negotiation with Molotov to Zhao Yuhe?" If the scale is not good, it will affect the future plan, and I do not want to fight to the death with the Soviet army, for the sake of a large area of the Far East, and it is also the only reason for agreeing to negotiate with Stalin! ”

However, when he thought about it, he was relieved. Molotov has dealt with himself, and the two sides know each other, this is an old fritter in the diplomatic world, there are many means, just bargaining is annoying enough, okay, let Yu and this newcomer, crack Molotov's Tai Chi, maybe there will be unexpected effects?

Tang Qiuli couldn't help but smile, as if he suddenly remembered something. He asked worriedly: "Yuhe, who did you send to the airport to pick up the Soviet negotiation delegation, don't let a stunned person go, as soon as his temper comes up, the flames are three feet high." Knock those Soviets out of the way! ”

Zhao Yuhe laughed and said, "Division, commander." What do you think. The officers of our independent division, at that level, have been trained under you for many years, don't worry, I asked Xiao Hansheng, the captain of the fourth squadron of the guard brigade, to pick up people at the airport, this guy is cool-headed. Don't be impulsive, do things solidly, and there will be no problems! ”

Tang Qiuli was speechless again, this Xiao Hansheng himself knew it very well. The old man of the independent division, followed himself from the northeast to the Indochina Peninsula, and when he fought against the Japanese Kwantung Army in the northeast, Xiao Hansheng was a master who didn't want to die on the battlefield, and the little devil who died in his hands, I'm afraid there were nearly a thousand, this guy was silent, and he was pitiful when he spoke, let him pick up Molotov, yes, it's good to have these Soviets!

However, Xiao Hansheng's Russian proficiency is also second to none in the entire guard brigade, and sending him to the airport at least language communication is not a problem.

Major Xiao Hansheng, the leader of the 4th Squadron of the Guards Brigade of the Independent Division, pulled Molotov and his party of seven or eight people directly to an inconspicuous small hotel, and after placing four sentries at the door, he boarded the jeep and drove away.

During the whole process, Xiao Hansheng didn't say a word, Molotov had the heart and wanted to ask the taciturn major of the independent division some basic information, such as, where and when the negotiations were conducted, whether it was safe to live in the place, etc., he thought that from the Russian level of this independent division major, at least he was not disgusted with the Soviet Union, and the table on the airport was probably instructed by his superiors, and he had to carry it out?

But Molotov found that he was very wrong, and when he revealed some meaning that day, the cold look in the eyes of the young independent division major made Molotov dispel all thoughts, and just like that, seven or eight Soviets were left in a small hotel, and for more than two hours, no one paid attention to them at all, as if they had been forgotten.

Molotov was okay, he was calm, although his heart was as anxious as frying, but on the surface he was silent, sitting on a hard wooden stool, closing his eyes and recuperating his mind, but in fact, his mind was as uncalm as a river and a sea.

Molotov wanted to use his diplomatic experience to analyze Tang Qiuli's attitude at the moment from the treatment he received on the way from the airport to the hotel, but the analysis of racking his brains made him even more confused, since he agreed to the Soviet Union's negotiation requirements, and he came with full sincerity, why was he treated so coldly, was Tang Qiuli deliberately giving himself a disadvantage?

Molotov didn't think so, with Tang Qiuli's status and cunning, such a pediatric trick, he also knew that it would have little impact on him, but why did he still do it? Although he couldn't manage it, Molotov understood that this trip to Kulen was more difficult than he expected.

Molotov could calm his face, but a few attachés and guards couldn't, inexplicably thrown into this cold, deserted, and dirty little hotel by the major of the independent division who had spoken a total of two sentences, ignoring it, not taking a sip of water, and not seeing a figure, what is the matter?

The two guards couldn't help it, they were suffocated to death, and they rushed to the door of the hotel in a few steps, and were about to go out, but when they arrived at the door, the four independent division sentries put the guns in their hands horizontally, and they also casually "banged", and the bullets were loaded, although they didn't speak, but the meaning in their eyes was very clear, and they were not allowed to take half a step, otherwise, they would be killed on the spot!

The two Soviet guards, whose faces turned blue with anger, shouted: "I protest, this is house arrest in disguise, this is an insult to our Soviet delegation!" No matter how they shouted, the sentries had no room for accommodation, in fact, what Lao Maozi shouted, the sentries didn't understand a word, they just strictly carried out the order of the squadron leader Xiao Hansheng, "Lock down the hotel, without the order of the chief of staff, a few Soviets are not allowed to step out of the door in half a step!" ”

The two Soviet guards, shouting for a while, had no effect at all, and no one cared about it, but their own yelling was dry and boring, so they reluctantly turned around, and when they saw Molotov, they said nervously: "Comrade Molotov, our station is blocked by soldiers of the independent division, you say, are we under house arrest by the Chinese?" ”

After a long and helpless more than two hours, several Soviets who almost collapsed finally heard the roar of car motors at the entrance of the hotel, and the sound of soldiers of the independent division saluting.

Like a newbie who has just started the game, lacking self-confidence, Molotov is secretly annoyed by his state, if in our Chinese words, it is "people have to bow their heads under the roof!" "The battle of the Soviet army, when it comes to this kind of battle, he can't get up.

The door was pushed open, a young major general, walked in with a calm face, no entourage followed, just like that, alone, the clouds came to several Soviets lightly, Molotov was stunned again, is this the negotiator sent by Tang Qiuli, the young one is not like talking, besides, what is like a negotiation, not even a translator, at least you have to bring a recorder, right?

Zhao Yuhe glanced at a few Soviets with bright eyes, then locked on Molotov's body, and said: "Let you wait for a long time, I am Zhao Yuhe, chief of staff of the independent division, and I am also the chief representative of this negotiation!" ”

Fortunately, the Soviets brought the translator, Molotov hurriedly stepped forward, and shook hands with Zhao Yuhe warmly in accordance with diplomatic etiquette, with a cordial and respectful attitude, although in his heart, he was very contemptuous of this independent division major general, "Is it clearly a rookie, I don't even understand the minimum diplomatic etiquette and procedures, let alone the number of ways, hum, eat him!" ”

"General Zhao, I am Comrade Stalin's plenipotentiary representative, People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs of the Soviet Union Molotov, I am ordered to negotiate with you, you see, when and where we will negotiate, and what requirements do you have, and at the same time, we will also hand over the requirements for negotiations to you in the form of a formal document, so that we can conduct effective negotiations within a certain framework!" Molotov said with sophistication.

Molotov saw that this General Zhao, who did not have two Wen Jiàn clips in his hand, seemed to be unprepared, and what he said just now also implied the meaning of the first army, we Soviet side are ready, it depends on you Chinese!

After listening to Molotov's words, Zhao Yuhe smiled quietly and said, "Where to negotiate? To put it simply, you Soviets put forward negotiations to ask our independent divisions, in the Outer Mongolian region, the troops of the Outer Mongolian Front, no longer pursue and intercept, and in the Far East, not to adopt a deterrent posture against the Outer Khingan Mountains Front and the Baikal Front! ”

Molotov opened his mouth, how could there be such negotiations, did not exchange documents with each other in advance, and did not understand the demands and focus of the negotiations between the two sides, and this began, the Chinese who did not play according to the routine, let Molotov's prepared diplomatic rhetoric, and the tricks and routines in his head, all nowhere to be used, but he had to admit that this young independent division major general talked about his own point.

I came all the way to Kulen in order to solve these two problems, otherwise, is it necessary to negotiate with you Chinese?
