Age of Conquest Reborn

Tang Qiuli also guessed that the current situation on the eastern battlefield is quite unfavorable for the Soviet army. The war situation in the European part of the Soviet Union is also not good. The German offensive is surging. Moscow is always facing the pressure of German troops. Stalin will do it for

In this negotiation, what kind of bargaining chips will you use to impress yourself?

According to my understanding of Stalin, the supreme leader of the Soviet Union was as greedy for territory as a dog guarding its bones. Anyone who tried to get close would be barked. However, under the current situation,

It is possible to give out land, but it will never be too much. What else does the Soviet Union have to offer in exchange for independent divisions and not to take action against the Soviet army?

After much deliberation, Tang Qiuli couldn't judge whether Zhao Yuhe's negotiation method forced Molotov to show his trump card as soon as possible, "Yuhe, it's not easy to judge now, but we can't surpass tomorrow. Molotov

Tov will show his trump card, and the Soviets cannot afford to delay him!" Tang Qiuli said.

Zhao Yuhe smiled relaxedly and said, "Sir, I'll be waiting to take over!"

Tang Qiuli thought for a while and warned: "Yuhe, it's better to send a liaison officer to maintain contact with Molotov. Are you thinking about which person to send?"

"Commander, there is no need to think about it. Xiao Hansheng, the captain of the Fourth Squadron of the Guard Brigade, is the one. He has received Molotov before and is proficient in Russian! With his skills, those Soviets don't dare to explode!" Zhao Yu

He said without thinking.

There is a reason for this. After picking up Molotov and his party from the airport, Xiao Hansheng reported the incident to the Chief of Staff. When he heard that Xiao Hansheng had killed the big bear-like Soviet colonel with just his murderous intent, he almost peeed with fear.

Zhao Yuhe laughed happily, so he thought Xiao Hansheng was the best candidate to serve as liaison officer. When the division commander proposed it, he recommended him without hesitation.

Tang Qiuli's head was swollen at that time. Xiao Hansheng was proficient in Russian, but was his personality suitable for this? Seeing the relief on Zhao Yuhe's face, he was convinced of the Soviets' attitude, so he didn't say anything more.

After Zhao Yuhe left, Chu Tian's eyes sparkled, he looked at Tang Qiuli and said, "Sir, did you call me back urgently? Do you have any important tasks?"

Tang Qiuli looked at the May sky in Outer Mongolia. White clouds were blooming in the air. He could already smell the breath of spring. In a short time, the grasslands of Outer Mongolia would be lush green.

, and the spring grassland will be shrouded in gunfire and smoke because of one of your own decisions!

He turned around, looked at Chutian and said: "Chutian, it will be a matter of time for all the Soviet troops in the Far East and Outer Mongolia to withdraw. The negotiations with the Soviet Union will also reach a result that satisfies us. We

The troops in the Ural Mountains and Tannu Mountains don’t need to worry about threats from behind, and the special operations detachment can withdraw!”

Chu Tian did not interrupt, let alone ask questions. He knew that the division commander's recall of him was not simply a matter of deploying the special operations detachment and withdrawing it. "Chu Tian, ​​the only task of the special operations detachment in the future is to go deep into the Far East and fight against the whole country."

Positional reconnaissance of all movements of the Japanese army in the Far East, including unit numbers, weapons and equipment, commanders' names and characteristics, etc. I want to know everything about the Japanese army, the more detailed the better, do you understand?"

Chu Tian's heart moved, and he thought to himself, "Could it be that the division commander is preparing to attack the Japanese army in the Far East?" But he did not express his guess, stood up, and said in a clear voice: "Yes! Division commander, the special operations detachment will start immediately.

action!"

Unexpectedly, Tang Qiuli made a mistake in his judgment. The next day, the Soviet negotiating delegation did not show their trump cards. Instead, through Xiao Hansheng, they submitted a diplomatic document asking Tang Qiuli to produce the negotiation framework document, along with a letter.

A statement letter requesting the independent division to replace the negotiator.

Molotov approved the request for the independent division to produce corresponding negotiation documents. However, the statement letter requesting the removal of the negotiator was not his idea, but that of several attachés, especially those with Cheka.

The attaché in the background insisted over and over again that, of course, it was behind Molotov's back. The influence Zhao Yuhe had on them was so bad that the attaché responsible for drafting the document couldn't resist, so he wrote this statement letter.

Out of the oven.

Of course, in the statement letter, the Soviets did not dare to be presumptuous and asked for a replacement in a firm and euphemistic way. They also knew whose territory they were in. As for the reason for requesting the replacement, there was only one reason, and General Zhao did not understand it.

Negotiation procedures and basic etiquette between countries. Therefore, our fragile hearts have been greatly damaged. The implication is that we should send someone knowledgeable to negotiate!

After reading the documents submitted by the Soviets, Tang Qiuli was so happy that he almost lost his temper. However, Zhao Yuhe was so angry that his face was livid, especially in front of Xiao Hansheng.

He immediately went to Molotov to vent his anger and said, "Commander, the Soviets are so shameless. They don't know the negotiation procedures. What an excuse! I'll ask that Molotov if he wants to talk. If you want to talk, just talk to me!"

"

Tang Qiuli stopped Zhao Yuhe who was about to go berserk and said: "Yuhe, what does this mean? The Soviets are feeling pressure. They can't resist your unconventional tactics and can only propose substitutions.

Also, do you think it is necessary to ask us to come up with a framework document for negotiations?" Tang Qiuli's tone was more inspiring than soliciting opinions.

Zhao Yuhe thought for a while and said: "Commander, I think it is completely unnecessary. What I said has been very clear. That Molotov wants to play the trick in diplomatic situations. He came to beat around the bush. Let's

Just use your guns and go straight, or just ignore him and see who is worried!"

Tang Qiuli smiled and nodded. Although Zhao Yuhe was an amateur in diplomatic negotiations, he was able to grasp the key points. He was right. If he could afford the energy consumption, could the Soviets afford it? On the Far East battlefield, the Soviet Far East Front faced

The Japanese army was besieged on all sides and was already in danger. The reinforcements were blocked by the Japanese army hundreds of kilometers away from the battlefield. One more day of delay would make Zhukov's life even more difficult.

Molotov made a mistake and used his old diplomatic method to deal with Zhao Yuhe. Just as Tang Qiuli was about to speak, Shanhu opened the door and came in. Seeing Zhao Yuhe's angry look, he

He asked curiously: "Chief of Staff Zhao, why are you so angry?"

Tang Qiuli handed the documents brought by the Soviets to Shan Hu. After reading them once, Shan Hu became happy and said: "I'm just angry about this. You can't do it. Chief of Staff, with a few

Why is Lao Maozi so angry? Hey, Lao Maozi proposed to change people. I think it is better for me to negotiate on behalf of the Chief of Staff and keep these two tricks to make Lao Maozi lose his temper at all!"

Tang Qiuli paused and said, "Just you? It's better to rest! We're not going to fight!"

Shan Hu muttered: "Why can't I do anything anymore? It's not like this kind of thing has never happened before!"

Tang Qiuli ignored Shan Hu and said to Zhao Yuhe: "Yuhe, help you, squeeze out the Soviets' trump cards, and order Liu Chun's cavalry troops on the front line in Minusinsk to raid the Soviet Union from the flanks."

The Mongolian front forces, however, wanted to tell Liu Chun not to penetrate deep into the Soviet army.

Leave in one strike and send a telegram to Deputy Commander Liu. The troops in the Far East intend to shorten the distance between the two front armies of the Soviet Army and create a situation for the Soviet Army that we will launch an attack at any time. Add four words to the telegram.

, use fighting to promote peace, Deputy Commander Liu will understand!"

After waiting for a day and not seeing any response from the independent division, Molotov became very anxious and depressed. He asked the liaison officer Xiao Hansheng, but the Chinese major officer was like a mute. He didn't say a word and asked too many questions.

Then he stares at you with his cold, soothing eyes, making your heart tremble and your throat go dry.

Molotov was going crazy. He couldn't guess Tang Qiuli's steps and had no choice but to wait in the hotel. On the evening of the next day, Moscow sent a top-secret telegram. The content of the telegram told Molotov

Toph's expression changed drastically and he almost jumped up in surprise.

The telegram said, "In Outer Mongolia, Vasilevsky's troops were attacked by the cavalry troops of the Independent Division. Although the losses were not large, it showed a serious situation. In Outer Mongolia, Tang Qiuli and others

Troops, and the cavalry is one of them."

"In the Far East, the independent division troops following the Transkhinggan Mountains Front Army and the Baikal Lake Front Army suddenly approached the rear of these two armies and assumed an offensive posture. From this, it can be judged that Tang Qiuli did not reach negotiations with the Soviet Union.

The agreement puts pressure on us. At this critical moment in the battle to support Zhukov's troops, the malicious actions of the Independent Division troops will undoubtedly affect the Far East battlefield and the reinforcement operations for the Far East Front!"

At the end of the telegram, Molotov was urged to reach an agreement with Tang Qiuli as soon as possible. If necessary, more concessions could be made on the original basis. The specific standards were left to Molotov's own control. The telegram was based on Stalin's

Molotov, who was sent in name and was familiar with Stalin's style, had no doubt about this. Others in the Politburo did not have this power.

But the crux of the matter is that it has been two days since we arrived in Kulun. Apart from meeting Major General Zhao, who knew nothing about anything, and having a brief and unpleasant conversation, there has not been even a symbolic meeting. The Chinese

Just leave yourself in a small hotel. In such a passive military and diplomatic situation, it will definitely not work if you don't show your trump card. After half a life in the diplomatic world, why did you meet a fool like Major General Zhao? Now it seems that Tang is probably

Qiu Li used it specifically to deal with himself, cunning!

In his mind, Molotov had already scolded Tang Qiuli countless times for taking advantage of others' danger, being dishonest, and being cunning and cunning. After finishing the scolding, he feebly said to his entourage: "Submit our conditions to the Chinese, in the original terms."

On top of that, we add the Tang Nu Uliang Hai area, and in the document, we clearly told Tang Qiuli that this is our final bottom line!"

At this moment, Molotov felt a severe pain in his heart.
