Distressed, like a pain of cutting flesh, the Tangnu Wulianghai region was originally a bargaining chip that was gradually increasing in the negotiations, but now it is also forced to take it out, and it is very likely that the more than one million square kilometers of land in the Far East will not be able to satisfy Tang Qiuli's greedy appetite.

The cavalry of the independent division near Minusinsk assaulted the Outer Mongolian Front, and on the line from Chita to Irkutsk, the troops of the independent division put on an offensive posture, clearly forcing the Soviet Union to come up with enough weight, including Stalin, although they all knew this, but what if they were stronger than people, what if they didn't pay the price?

However, Molotov still played some small ambushes, which is due to his habit, all the hole cards will not be fully revealed, and about 300,000 square kilometers of land around Lake Balkhash have not been written into the text.

After this document was submitted, Molotov was confident that he would be able to impress Tang Qiuli, not counting the Outer Mongolia region, Tang Qiuli's hands, from the south of the Outer Khingan Mountains to the Sea of Japan, more than one million square kilometers of land out of thin air, this vast land, rich and fertile, vast and sparsely populated, rich in mineral deposits underground, and a military port facing the Sea of Japan, as for the Baikal region, it has always been occupied by the troops of the Independent Division, but, in the text, it is also used as a bargaining chip for the Soviet Union.

After handing over the text to Xiao Hansheng, the Chinese liaison officer, Molotov's heart was empty, as if he had lost the most important thing, after this large piece of land was ceded out, when it would be recovered, only God knows? After the Soviet Union withstood the German offensive first, let's think about this problem!

Looking at the gloomy faces of the attachés, Molotov was in a rather bad mood and threw the attachés out and left alone in the room, waiting for the insatiable Chinese to come to the door. "Perhaps, we can sign the agreement today!" He thought to himself, Cullen didn't want to stay longer for a moment, in this place, all he was left with was humiliation.

However, Molotov also had a deeper strategy in his heart, taking the Far East as an example, the withdrawal of Soviet troops was a must. And the Japanese army was concentrated in this area, and actually occupied the outer Xing'an Mountains area for more than three years, after ceding to Tang Qiuli, the Japanese could give up?

In particular, the military port of Vladivostok is located across the Sea of Japan. Whoever the naval fleet is, it will not take more than a few hours. You can reach the mainland of Japan. If it falls into the hands of Tang Qiuli, it will be a nail buried in the flesh of the Japanese, and the Japanese should not be able to sleep well, a powerful enemy, separated from the mainland by only a strait, and no one can turn a blind eye. For the sake of the security of their homeland, the Japanese will never abandon the Far East.

The day the Soviet troops withdraw, that is, when the Japanese and Tang Qiuli fought a big fight, they will definitely do it. For the current Soviet Union, the Far East is a hot potato, and the European part is still too busy to take care of itself, and it is also wise to give up for the time being, and the Far East will become a piece of fat that makes both the Japanese and Tang Qiuli red-eyed, and for this piece of fat, the Japanese and Tang Qiuli will definitely fight endlessly.

"The Japanese and Tang Qiuli are better to lose both, and they will never be able to recover their vitality! Dragging the two ambitious forces in the Far East also freed the Soviet Union from worries when it went all out to deal with the German attack," Molotov thought viciously, this is also the original intention of proposing this plan to Comrade Stalin, thinking of this, his heart is a little more comfortable!

Kulun, in the temporary headquarters of the Independent Division, Tang Qiuli finished reading the text brought back by Xiao Hansheng, and said to Zhao Yuhe: "Yuhe, the Soviets' hole cards are out, you, the negotiator with plenipotentiary, are you satisfied?" ”

At this time, Zhao Yuhe, by no means like a negotiator, but a rigorous soldier, he took the text of the Soviets, on the map, carefully compared, and marked the part of the land that Molotov was about to cede with a red pencil, so that Tang Qiuli saw the map, it was clear at a glance, and then, he said: "Division commander, this is the bargaining chip taken out by the Soviets, starting from the Outer Khingan Mountains in the north, reaching Vladivostok in the south, and including the Tangnu-Ulianghai area in the west, and the surrounding areas of the Baikal region, including Chita, Cities such as Irkutsk and Ulan-Ude, east to the Sea of Japan and the Sea of Okhotsk, I calculated, the area is about 1.6 million square kilometers! ”

Zhao Yuhe's expression was a little excited, "Division commander, the Soviets took out such a big chip at once, it is enough to be generous, it is very tempting!" He laughs.

Tang Qiuli looked at him with a smile and said, "You are a negotiator, just sign the agreement when you look at it!" ”

Zhao Yuhe saw an unusual meaning in the eyes of the division commander, his heart moved, and he replied very cunningly: "Division, I, the negotiator, am just in the foreground, and you are still grasping the general direction, such a big matter, how can I do it, in a word, as long as you say okay, I will do it well today!" ”

Tang Qiuli shook his head with a smile and said, "Yuhe, learn to be cunning, but what you see is only a superficial phenomenon, do you want to hear my analysis!" ”

Zhao Yuhe nodded hurriedly, "Division Commander, it must be very beneficial to listen to you analyze the chips of the Soviets!" He said.

Tang Qiuli walked to the map, pointed to the Far East and said: "You see, the chips that the Soviets took out, first of all, the Far East, even if Molotov didn't want to take it out, under the current situation, the Soviets can't keep it. Worries about the Soviet Union in the middle of the German army! ”

Zhao Yuhe swallowed his saliva, he didn't take into account such a far-reaching, a Far East, there is still a huge conspiracy of the Soviets, in fact, it's no wonder that he didn't think about it so much, anyway, the division commander will have to do something against the Japanese army sooner or later, not only in the Far East, but also in the entire Northeast, sooner or later it will be recovered, now, the division commander has analyzed it so thoroughly, Zhao Yuhe can't help but feel annoyed and blame himself for his short-sightedness, he is the chief of staff!

Tang Qiuli saw Zhao Yuhe's self-blame, smiled and said: "Yuhe, don't blame yourself, the Far East is one of the areas we plan to recover, if the Soviets don't take it out, they will take it back from the hands of the Japanese, Molotov's plan to kill two birds with one stone, I'm afraid it will fail!" ”

"This is the Far East, and then look at the Baikal region, now, this region is in our hands, the Soviets took it out, it is nothing more than to increase the weight, or that sentence, Stalin can't keep the Baikal region, it's better to be a favor, and the Tangnu Ulianghai region, next to Outer Mongolia, has been China's territory since ancient times, the Soviets don't cede it, I will also use troops on this place, so, Stalin is smart, since he can't keep it, it's better to give it up!"

Zhao Yuhe's eyes widened, looking at the division commander, Tang Qiuli's left hand, on the map, drawing a lightning arc, including the plan sent by Molotov, the areas to be ceded, and then said: "Yu and you see, the chips taken out by the Soviets are the original territory of China, but later they were forcibly taken away by Tsarist Russia from the Qing court, in other words, the chips taken out by Stalin were originally snatched from us Chinese!" ”

"Humph!" Tang Qiuli sneered a few times, with incomparable contempt at the corners of his mouth, "Stalin's good calculations, Yuhe, do you still think that the Soviets are generous?" ”

Zhao Yuhe stood up and said in a deep voice: "Division Commander, listening to your words, Yuhe has benefited a lot, I am short-sighted, I will go to see Molotov and tell him clearly, you Soviets don't have enough chips!" ”

Zhao Yuhe was obviously a little angry, and then said: "Division commander, don't worry, I promise to cut a large piece from the Soviet Union without bones and flesh, the negotiations broke down, and I didn't have time to grind with that Molotov!" As he spoke, he made a knife swing gesture.

Tang Qiuli smiled and said, "Yuhe, don't be angry, that's how it is in diplomatic negotiations, but it's time for me to appear!" He turned his face to Xiao Hansheng, who had been standing beside him, and said: "In the name of the chief of staff, immediately inform Molotov that at three o'clock this afternoon, at another place, formal negotiations will be held, but don't tell him, I will attend!" ”

Molotov, who received Xiao Hansheng's notice, breathed a long sigh of relief, since the stunned General Zhao planned to formally negotiate, it seems that the chips he took out moved the Chinese, formal negotiations, nothing more than signing an agreement, the torture is finally over, Molotov's heart, a tired light.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Hansheng led a team and several jeeps to drive the Soviet negotiating delegation to a five-story hotel, although the scale is more like an inconspicuous street tavern than a hotel in Moscow, but it is a hundred times stronger than the small hotel that Molotov has been nesting for two days.

It's too familiar, the guest house of the Liaison Office of the Outer Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party, before the fall of Outer Mongolia, every time Molotov came, he stayed here, and he was familiar with every qiē inside, including the room specially prepared for himself, in this building, how many times, the high-ranking officials of the Outer Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party, with pilgrimage-like piety, rushed to listen to their own teachings, and the qiē in Outer Mongolia was in his own hands at that time.

It was a period of high-spirited and extremely passionate days, and his own words would become the direction of action in the land of Outer Mongolia, and now, he is considered to be revisiting the old place, but things are not people, and his former master, now he has become a beggar passerby, and the feelings of loss and melancholy are full of Molotov's heart.

The sound of the jeep leaving woke up Molotov, who was immersed in memories, and he collected his sour mood, walked up the steps, and met a major general of an independent division, facing the afternoon sun of Kulen, looking at his group with blazing eyes.
