Age of Conquest Reborn

Stalin's plenipotentiary representative, Soviet People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs Molotov, was full of discomfort. Zhao Yuhe's direct approach disrupted his pre-planned plan. Molotov, who had been involved in the diplomatic community for many years, did not like to lose the initiative.

This is the territory of the Independent Division. Even though the Soviet army is facing a crisis and has to ask for negotiations under unfavorable conditions, he still has to take the initiative in the negotiation situation. This is the result of many years of habit!

Molotov laughed dryly and said: "General Zhao, this is not appropriate. We should at least hold a few preparatory meetings first to bring our negotiation requirements to the meeting, and then determine the framework of the negotiation. Therefore,

I suggest that the negotiation between you and me should be conducted in a formal occasion!"

Zhao Yuhe waved his hand, interrupted Molotov, and said: "Mr. Molotov, there is no need to go into so many complicated details. Since I already know your Soviet Union's requirements, well, come up with enough to impress me.

conditions, otherwise, the negotiations will break down!”

Molotov almost fell to the ground. He had been in the diplomatic community for decades, and he had never seen such a negotiation. He didn't say a few words in total, and the negotiation was about to break down. It seemed that he didn't even have a topic for the negotiation.

Let’s talk about it?

This is not a negotiation. It is more like two businessmen discussing business. The price is not suitable, and they break up immediately. The key is that the Chinese can do it, but they cannot. Besides, that negotiation was not

The two sides went back and forth, bargaining with each other, and finally reached an agreement. The whole process took no more than four or five days, and it would definitely not be completed. Although I was eager to reach an agreement with Tang Qiuli now, I couldn't do it so fast?

Molotov felt that his mouth was a little dry. Facing Zhao Yu and this rookie negotiation opponent, he really didn't know where to start. "General Zhao, I think you are too hasty. This is not a negotiation."

This attitude is even more unfavorable for you and us to reach a mutually satisfactory agreement in the future. Please come up with your conditions and we will consider them, and then sit down to discuss the details and implementation issues!" He tried to keep himself calm.

said.

Zhao Yuhe frowned. He was impatient in his heart and said, "This Molotov is really long-winded. He just wants us to stop plotting against the Soviet army in the east. He is just talking nonsense." Since he was impatient, he did not follow.

There is no need for this guy to talk nonsense. This guy who won’t cry until he sees the coffin thinks he is negotiating on equal terms. Go ahead and dream!

"Mr. Molotov, I am a soldier. I don't like nonsense. Just ask us to stop military operations against the Soviet army. That's the same thing. Give me enough leverage to impress me!" Zhao Yuhe said in a stern tone, "

Since you are not ready to pay it back yet, you can also

, I can wait. If you are ready, inform the sentry at the door, goodbye!" After saying that, under the stunned expressions of several Soviet people, Shi Shiran left the room, and the roar of the car motor gradually faded away.

Until it disappears and can no longer be heard.

Molotov moved his lips a few times, but found that he didn't know what to say. Zhao Yuhe's attitude was completely out of the routine. He didn't even say what conditions the Chinese had, so how could he accept the move?

It feels like I came to Cullen this time not to negotiate but to sign a surrender document?

Alliance under the city, negotiation at gunpoint, these words suddenly passed through Molotov's mind. The directness and sharpness of this young major general completely disrupted the negotiation plan he had planned. People will not follow your routine.

What can I do?

Several of Molotov's attachés quit, and an attaché with a Cheka background shouted angrily: "Comrade Molotov, what is the attitude of the Chinese? How can they treat a negotiating delegation from a powerful country like this?"

Humiliation, naked humiliation, Comrade Molotov, I suggest that in addition to making a strong protest to the government of the Republic of China and demanding an apology from Tang Qiuli, we must immediately terminate the negotiations!"

Hearing the arrogant words of this attaché, Molotov's face turned gloomy, "He is such a light-headed guy and has a heavy egg. You know what the hell, even Comrade Stalin is feeling heartbroken and distressed to terminate the negotiations."

He gave up more than one million square kilometers of land in exchange for Tang Qiuli to stop military operations against the Soviet army. How much do you, a small attaché, know about the inside story?"

"You also whimsically protested strongly to the government of the Republic of China and demanded an apology from Tang Qiuli. He drank too much and still hasn't sobered up, right? That Tang Qiuli's current strength and power is that he is the number one person in China, the Chairman of the Nationalist Government, Chiang Kai-shek.

You have to look at his eyes. The Nationalist Government has no deterrent effect in front of Tang Qiuli. Do you, a small attaché, understand this? Don't think that just because you have a Cheka background, you dare to do this.

Arrogant?"

"Terminate the negotiations, and don't worry about Feng Da's tongue flashing? What the hell did I do here? Just go to Culun, listen to that stupid young independent division major general's words that don't follow the routine, and then go home? Really?

Damn it, killing you is like crushing a bed bug!"

Molotov was really angry, not only because of Zhao Yuhe's attitude, but also because of the ignorance and arrogance of this attaché. "Shut up! That's enough!" He suddenly shouted violently, his face turned livid, and he pointed at that

The attaché with a Cheka background continued: "From now on, during your stay in Kulun, you must control your mouth. You are not allowed to say a word without my permission. This is an order, do you hear me?"

"I don't want to hear such stupid arguments again. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind sending you back to the country in advance. You know the consequences of that! Even Cheka can't save you!"

Molotov's fierce eyes and merciless words shocked this attaché with a Cheka background. He took a few steps back with a panic look on his face. Originally, he wanted to rely on his Cheka background to argue a few words.

But seeing the cannibalistic look in Comrade Molotov's eyes, he became timid and seemed to remember that the man in front of him was a high-ranking boss among all the important officials of the Soviet party, government and army.

Even in the heyday of Cheka under the leadership of Comrade Beria, the Cheka had so much power that it could cover the sky of the Soviet Union with one hand. Beria himself during that period did not dare to be a little presumptuous in front of this man. Now, Cheka has

Decline, glory is gone, and even Beria himself is in jail. He is a small peripheral member of the Cheka. He is as powerful as an ant. What qualifications do he have to compete with this big boss? That is not stroking the tiger's beard.

Looking for death?

Looking at the look in Comrade Molotov's eyes, it would be easy to kill himself on the spot. "Comrade Molotov, I'm very sorry. I made a mistake. I sincerely accept your criticism. I will definitely correct it in the future and obey your orders!"

"This guy was quick to spot an opportunity and hurriedly lowered his head to admit his mistake, his back soaked in cold sweat.

"Humph!" Molotov snorted coldly from his nose, and ignored such inconspicuous little characters. He walked back and forth in the room quickly, thinking about various ideas, and was so confused, how could he

To figure it out, it was actually very simple. He took out the bargaining chip he had negotiated with Comrade Stalin in Moscow and told Tang Qiuli that this was the biggest concession the Soviet Union could make.

However, Molotov didn't want to throw out his trump cards so easily. He even revealed all his trump cards in just a few words about how to conduct a formal negotiation. How could it be explained by the word "passive"? It meant that he would

Being led by Tang Qiuli, what should I do if the greedy Tang Qiuli makes even more excessive demands?

"Comrade Molotov, that Chinese has a non-negotiation attitude at all. What response measures should we take? I personally think that under the circumstances at this time, it is not appropriate to use our bargaining chips to avoid being passive! We can ask the Chinese to use them

Regarding their negotiation framework, we are formulating corresponding countermeasures based on the specific situation," a mature and prudent attaché suggested cautiously.

Molotov stopped and was quite moved by the attaché's suggestion. He frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Okay, Comrade Godakov, you will be responsible for drafting a statement to Tang Qiuli.

Ask the Chinese to come up with a framework document for negotiations!”

Zhao Yuhe returned to the headquarters in high spirits. As soon as he entered Tang Qiuli's office, he saw that in addition to the division commander, Chu Tian, ​​the leader of the special operations detachment, was also there. He hurriedly said hello, "Captain Chu, aren't you active to the west of the Ural Mountains?

, why are you back?"

Chu Tian stood up and saluted, and replied: "Report to the Chief of Staff, I rushed back from the Soviet Union after receiving the order from the division commander. No, I just arrived!"

Tang Qiuli looked at Zhao Yuhe who was full of excitement and asked: "Yuhe, have you met with Molotov? Have the time and place of the negotiation been decided? Have our conditions been given to the Soviets? Molotov

What is your husband’s attitude?”

Zhao Yuhe was stunned for a moment and replied: "Commander, is it as complicated as you said? The Soviets are here, but they want us not to cause trouble to the Soviet army..." Then, he gestured with his hands, vividly

He told the story again, and at the end, he said proudly: "There is nothing complicated about negotiation, it is almost like doing business!"

Tang Qiuli was basically petrified. After a long time, he sighed and said: "Yuhe, this is the most unusual negotiation I know. I threw away all the procedures and went straight to the topic. Before I finished two sentences, I announced that the negotiation had broken down.

, is probably the rarest scene in all diplomatic negotiation situations. That Molotov is in trouble! Yuhe, you have forced the Soviets into a corner! This is not called negotiation, it is coercion!"

Zhao Yuhe looked at Tang Qiuli in confusion and asked, "Sir, did I do something wrong?"

Tang Qiuli hurriedly shook his head and said: "No! - Yuhe, you did nothing wrong. In the current battlefield situation in the Far East and Outer Mongolia, the Soviets are eager to seek peace, so they have to pay a price that satisfies us. In this way

That’s fine!”

Seeing that the division commander did not mean to blame himself, Zhao Yuhe seemed to be relieved and asked: "Commander, what kind of bargaining chips do you think the Soviets will use?"
