The chief negotiator of the Soviet Union, People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs Molotov, was simply dizzy, what kind of negotiation is this, it is naked blackmail, more than one million square kilometers of land, this Major General Zhao smiled without blinking, in exchange for a sentence "Kind expression, I have a number in my heart!" "I'm here to negotiate or to give a gift, even if it's a gift, such a big gift, you have to have a few words of thanks, right?

It's too much of a deception! Molotov couldn't stand it anymore, he got up with a shot, his eyes were round, what kind of diplomat demeanor, what kind of etiquette, what kind of little unbearable plots, fuck it, don't vent it again, Molotov absolutely believes that he will be so angry that his cerebral blood vessels will rupture and hang up on the spot!

"General Zhao, I strongly protest, I have served in the diplomatic circles for decades, I have dealt with diplomats from various countries, and I have never seen such a shameless act, is this the attitude of negotiation, is it naked blackmail, it is a typical danger of taking advantage of others, I will not agree to your unreasonable demands, this is all the conditions of our Soviet Union, in exchange for your Chinese army, stop all military operations against the Soviet army, and promise, there will be no harassment of any kind! Otherwise, I refuse to proceed with the negotiations! Molotov's face turned pale, waved his hands, and shouted loudly, his translator, with a nervous face on his face.

In the face of Molotov, who was running amok and dancing with his teeth and claws, Zhao Yuhe didn't mean to be angry at all, his eyes were as quiet as a baby who had just woken up, Tang Qiuli, who was sitting on the side, resisted the urge to laugh, and secretly applauded in his heart, this was discussed with Zhao Yuhe before meeting Molotov, but he didn't expect that Yuhe played so well on the spot, and in just a few words, he would be the old fritter Molotov in the diplomatic circle. It was like a thunderstorm.

After Molotov finished yelling, gasped, and sat down in a huff, Zhao Yuhe said with an innocent face: "Mr. Molotov, you are too uncalm, can I understand your accusation just now, because the differences between our two sides are too great, and the negotiations broke down when it was impossible to compromise." There's no need to go ahead anymore? ”

"Well, I'll wait for Mr. Molotov to come to his senses before we start negotiations, and I'll have the patience and time to wait for your accusations against us. There are a lot of adults, and I don't care about it. But. Our point of view must let you know that my attitude remains the same, if you still have this attitude in the next negotiation, you can go back directly and leave! Zhao Yuhe added a few words lightly and heavily. Then, glancing at the division commander, Tang Qiuli held back a smile and nodded slightly. Zhao Yuhe got up to leave.

Zhao Yuhe's words directly hit Molotov's vital point, patience, patience is a fart, the person who rolls in the diplomatic circle, the lack of patience, for a trivial problem, soaked for ten days and a half months, it is common, the key is time, what the Soviet Union lacks now is time, whether it is in the direction of Europe or the direction of the Far East and Outer Mongolia, time is like a noose around the neck, so that the entire Soviet Union can not breathe.

Molotov's face turned from angry purple to pale, as if he had been drained of his spirit, he hurriedly got up and said: "General Zhao, please stay, I was rude just now, I solemnly apologize to you, the negotiations still have to go on, you can put forward conditions!" His tone was almost pleading, Molotov knew in his heart that General Zhao, who was purely a diplomat, would be difficult to make him at the negotiating table once he brushed his sleeves away!

"General Tang, look at ......!" Molotov looked at Tang Qiuli again and said, he knew even more, don't look at the number one boss of the independent division, he has not spoken, in fact, he has a word in the negotiation, and a word can determine the success or failure of the negotiation, and the stunned General Zhao is nothing more than a pawn!

Tang Qiuli's eyes were gentle, he looked at Molotov, then at Zhao Yuhe, and said: "Chief of Staff, since Mr. Molotov has a request to continue the talks, and he apologizes to you in person, I think you can temporarily calm your anger, after all, reaching a negotiation agreement is our common goal!" ”

Zhao Yuhe sat back in his chair, but obviously his anger did not subside, "Mr. Molotov, since our division commander has interceded for you Soviets, well, I can sit down and continue to break through, but if you show the attitude just now, I will immediately order the soldiers to escort your Soviet delegation to the plane, where to go back and forth!" He said with a slightly vicious expression.

Molotov nodded again and again, and said that the situation just now would not occur again, in his heart, depressed and angry, almost spurting out a mouthful of blood, "Just pretend, let's sing a double reed together, one with a red face and one with a black face, when I can't see it?" He thought hatefully, but could he see how the Chinese were tricking, adopting a tough attitude, and angrily brushing away on the spot?

Just kidding, the Chinese did not have any losses, the USSR would definitely be unlucky, perhaps, the troops of the independent divisions trailing behind the Outer Khingan Front and the Baikal Front, immediately together with the Japanese, attacked front and back, for the USSR, it was tantamount to annihilation!

"Bear with it—I bear with it!" Molotov kept admonishing himself, forcibly swallowing the clumps of evil qi that poured into his chest back into his stomach, turning into a trace of helplessness and humiliation, which was the most memorable negotiation in his life.

Zhao Yuhe's eyes shone brightly, and he said, "Mr. Molotov, I don't know what kind of conditions you have come up with?" ”

The corners of Molotov's mouth twitched painfully, and he said: "General Zhao, put aside the conditions of our side just now, for the time being, on the original basis, plus the north of Lake Balkhash to the Tangnu Ulianghai area, about 440,000 square kilometers of land, ceded to you free of charge, General Zhao, this is our last bottom line, in exchange for your cessation of military operations, our Soviet Union has paid more than 1.8 million square kilometers of land!" ”

When he said this, the expression on Molotov's face was extremely rich, just like being cut slowly with a blunt knife, yes, it was a table of extreme distress, this was already the final bottom line agreed between himself and Comrade Stalin, but he didn't know the bottom in his heart, could he satisfy Tang Qiuli's greedy appetite?

In Molotov's expectant gaze, Zhao Yuhe raised his eyebrows, put the pencil in his hand on the table, and popped out two words from his mouth: "Not enough!" "It's as simple as that, no extra nonsense.

But these two words sounded in Molotov's ears more violently than a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and he was dizzy, and his mouth opened like a black hole, and he said, "What, what? - No, not enough? ――Why? General Zhao, General Zhao, I want to know the final conditions of your side! Molotov, who has always been sharp-toothed and known for his eloquence, can turn black into white, the mouthpiece of the Soviet party, government and military to the outside world, and who has been in the diplomatic circles for half his life, actually stuttered, which shows that Zhao Yuhe's words shocked him.

Zhao Yuhe was not shocked, "Mr. Molotov, I am a soldier, I don't like to beat around the bush, and the same is true for negotiations, then good, I will meet your requirements!" He said, then turned his head and shouted, "Staff, hang up the map!" ”

Two capable staff officers quickly hung a map on the wall, and then, standing aside, Molotov was a little inexplicable, his eyes were like light bulbs, looking at Zhao Yuhe, and then, he cast his eyes on the map with a striking red line, and in his heart, he had a vague premonition.

Zhao Yuhe got up, walked to the map, pointed to the red line and said: "Mr. Molotov, our conditions are very simple, take the 85th parallel of east longitude as the benchmark, and the area east of it will be ceded by the Soviet Union, and that's it!" After the signing of the agreement, the troops of our independent division will not carry out any form of obstruction of the Soviet troops who are in a hurry to return to Europe! What do you think? ”

From the 85th parallel of east longitude to the east, it included most of the cities and rich areas of the Soviet Union in Asia, including the world's largest freshwater lake -- Lake Baikal, the Sea of Okhotsk, and the Kamchatka Peninsula.

Originally, Tang Qiuli planned to take the Ural Mountains as the boundary, and Stalin had to spit out the Asian part to the east, but after carefully weighing the pros and cons, he overturned this condition, with the current situation of the Soviet Union, in the face of the German attack, it will definitely not be able to hold the territory of Europe, the capital Moscow will fall sooner or later, Europe will not be able to stay, Stalin will move the capital to the east of the Ural Mountains, although he certainly does not want to do this.

After all, a Ural Mountains is a natural barrier, which can withstand millions of troops, and it is not easy for the German army to fight through the Ural Mountains, and it will pay a considerable price.

Moreover, according to the secret agreement reached between himself and Hitler in Berlin, the German army occupied the European part of the Soviet Union, the eastern part of the Ural Mountains, and belonged to the Republic of China.

After all, the national strength of the Soviet Union is there, and in the future division of forces, Tang Qiuli does not want to directly border Germany, there is a Soviet Union that has been reduced to a weak country and its territory is limited to the Asian part, as a buffer zone with Germany, it is good for himself and Hitler, and now Outer Mongolia is the status of the former Soviet Union.

If you don't drive Stalin to a dead end, and leave a buffer zone in the future division of forces, there are no eternal allies in the world, and in the face of interests, allies can face each other at any time!
