Age of Conquest Reborn

It hurts, like cutting flesh. Originally, the Tangnu Ulianghai area was prepared to gradually increase the bargaining chip in the negotiations, but now it is forced to take it out. It turns out that the land of more than one million square kilometers in the Far East is

It is very likely that it will not satisfy Tang Qiuli's greedy appetite.

The cavalry of the Independent Division near Minusinsk attacked the Outer Mongolian Front. On the line from Chita to Irkutsk, the Independent Division troops put on an offensive posture. They were clearly forcing the Soviet Union to come up with something of sufficient weight as soon as possible, including

Although everyone, including Stalin, knew this, the situation was stronger than the people, so what if we didn't pay the price?

However, Molotov still laid some small ambushes. This was due to his habit. All his trump cards would not be revealed. The approximately 300,000 square kilometers of land around Lake Balkhash was not included in the document.

After submitting this document, Molotov was confident that he would be able to impress Tang Qiuli. Not counting the Outer Mongolia area, Tang Qiuli had more than a hundred extra documents out of thin air, from the south of the Outer Xing'an Mountains to the Sea of ​​Japan.

Ten thousand square kilometers of land, this vast land is rich and fertile, sparsely populated, rich in mineral deposits underground, and has a military port facing the Sea of ​​Japan. As for the Lake Baikal area, it has always been occupied by the independent division troops. However, in

In the document, it was also used as a bargaining chip for the Soviet Union.

After the document was handed over to the Chinese liaison officer Xiao Hansheng, Molotov felt empty in his heart, as if he had lost the most important thing. After this large piece of land was ceded, only God knows when it will be recovered. Mr. Soviet Union

After withstanding the German attack, consider this issue again!

Looking at the gloomy faces of his attachés, Molotov was in a bad mood. He drove them out and stayed alone in the room, waiting for the greedy Chinese to come to the door. "Maybe we can sign the agreement today!" he said.

Cullen thought to himself that he didn't want to stay any longer. In this place, all that was left to him 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. The Japanese army was concentrated in this area and actually occupied three areas of the outer Xing'an Mountains.

After more than many years of ceding to Tang Qiuli, could the Japanese just let it go?

Especially the naval port of Vladivostok, across the Sea of ​​Japan is the Japanese mainland. No matter whose naval fleet, it can reach the Japanese mainland in less than a few hours. If it falls into the hands of Tang Qiuli, that is

Nails buried in the flesh of the Japanese people, the Japanese should have trouble sleeping and eating. There is only a strait between them and the homeland. No one can turn a blind eye to a powerful enemy. For the sake of the security of the homeland, the Japanese will never abandon the Far East.

The day when the Soviet troops withdraw is when the Japanese and Tang Qiuli will fight. It will definitely happen. For the Soviet Union right now, the Far East is a hot potato. The European part still has too much to take care of itself, so it is wise to give up temporarily.

The Far East will become a piece of fat that makes both the Japanese and Tang Qiuli red-eyed. For this piece of fat, the Japanese and Tang Qiuli will definitely fight to the death.

"The Japanese and Tang Qiuli had better fight until both sides are injured and never recover! Dragging these two ambitious forces in the Far East will also free the Soviet Union from worries when it fully responds to the German attack," Mo

Lotov thought viciously that this was also his original intention of proposing this plan to Comrade Stalin. Thinking of this, he felt a little more comfortable in his heart!

Cullen, in the temporary headquarters of the Independent Division, Tang Qiuli read the documents brought back by Xiao Hansheng and said to Zhao Yuhe: "Yuhe, the Soviets' trump card has come out. You, the plenipotentiary negotiator, take a look and see if you are satisfied?"

At this time, Zhao Yuhe was not like a negotiator, but a rigorous soldier. He took the Soviet documents, carefully compared them on the map, and divided the part of the land that Molotov was about to cede.

Mark it with a red pencil so that Tang Qiuli can see it clearly when he sees the map. Then, he said: "Commander, this is

The bargaining chips brought out by the Soviets started from the Transkhinggan Mountains in the north, to Vladivostok in the south, and to the west included the Tannu-Ulyanghai region and the surrounding areas of the Lake Baikal region, including cities such as Chita, Irkutsk, and Ulan-Ude.

From the Sea of ​​Japan and the Sea of ​​Okhotsk to the east, I calculated that the area is about 1.6 million square kilometers!"

Zhao Yuhe's expression was a little excited, "Sir, the Soviets have come up with such a big bargaining chip all at once. It's quite generous and very tempting!" He said with a smile.

Tang Qiuli looked at him with a half-smile and said, "You are the negotiator, so just sign the agreement if you think it will work!"

Zhao Yuhe saw something unusual in the teacher's eyes. He was moved in his heart and replied slyly: "Sir, I am just a negotiator at the front desk. You are still in control of the general direction. So

How can I be in charge of big things? In a word, as long as you say yes, I will handle the matter smoothly today!"

Tang Qiuli shook his head with a smile and said: "Yu He, you are so cunning. However, what you see is only the superficial phenomenon. Do you want to hear my analysis?"

Zhao Yuhe nodded quickly, "Sir, I will definitely benefit a lot from listening to you analyze the Soviets' bargaining chip!" he said.

Tang Qiuli walked to the map, pointed at the Far East and said: "Look, the bargaining chip that the Soviets brought out, let's talk about the Far East first, even if Molotov doesn't want to use it, under the current situation, the Soviets can't keep it.

Why not just be a favor and help us live together?

In order to fight for the control of this area, I fought hard. More importantly, I used the land of more than one million square kilometers in the Far East to contain the Japanese and us, thereby eliminating us or the Japanese.

No worries about attacking the Soviet Union with the German army!"

Zhao Yuhe swallowed his saliva. He did not consider such far-reaching considerations. There was a huge Soviet conspiracy hidden in the Far East. In fact, it was not surprising that he did not think so much. Anyway, the division commander would sooner or later take action against the Japanese army. Not only the Far East

The region, including the entire Northeast, will be recovered sooner or later. Now, with the division commander making such a thorough analysis, Zhao Yuhe couldn't help but secretly feel annoyed and blame himself for his short-sightedness. He was 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 Japanese."

, Molotov’s plan to kill two birds with one stone may fail!”

"This is the Far East. Let's look at the Lake Baikal region. Now, this region is in our hands. The Soviets took it out just to add some weight. Again, Stalin can't protect the Lake Baikal region, so why not

As a favor, the Tangnu Ulianghai area, next to Outer Mongolia, has been China's territory since ancient times. If the Soviets don't cede it, I will use troops to attack this area. Therefore, Stalin is smart. Since he can't protect it, why not

give up!"

Zhao Yuhe's eyes widened and he looked at the division commander. Tang Qiuli's left hand drew an arc on the map like lightning, including all the areas to be ceded in the plan sent by Molotov.

Then he said: "Yuhe, you see, the bargaining chips that the Soviets brought out were all China's original territory, but they were later taken away from the Qing Dynasty by Tsarist Russia. In other words, the bargaining chips that Stalin brought out,

It was originally stolen from us Chinese!"

"Hmph!" Tang Qiuli sneered a few times, with incomparable contempt on his lips, "Stalin made a good plan, Yu He, do you still think the Soviets are generous?"

Zhao Yuhe stood up and said in a deep voice: "Commander, after listening to your words, Yuhe has benefited a lot. I am short-sighted. I will go to see Molotov and tell him clearly that the bargaining chips you Soviets brought out are

not enough!"

Zhao Yuhe was obviously a little angry, and then said: "Commander, don't worry, I promise to chop it hard with a sharp knife, and cut off a large piece of the Soviet Union without even bones or flesh. If the negotiation breaks down, I don't have time to talk to that Mo

Lotov is just talking!" As he said this, he made a knife-wielding gesture.

Tang Qiuli smiled and said: "Yu He, there is no need to be angry. This is how diplomatic negotiations are. However, it is time for me to appear!" Turning to Xiao Hansheng who had been standing beside him, he said: "In the name of Chief of Staff, I will be here immediately.

Inform Molotov that formal negotiations will be held at another location at three o'clock this afternoon, but don't tell him that I will attend!"

After receiving the notice from Xiao Hansheng, Molotov breathed a long sigh of relief. Since the stupid General Zhao planned to formally negotiate, it seemed that the bargaining chip he had brought out had impressed the Chinese. Formal negotiation was nothing more than signing an agreement.

Well, the torture was finally over, and Molotov felt tired and relaxed in his heart.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Hansheng led a team and several jeeps drove the Soviet negotiating delegation to a five-story hotel. Although the scale was more like an inconspicuous street tavern than a hotel in Moscow, it

, it was a hundred times better than the small hotel where Molotov stayed for two days. Seeing this, Molotov, who had just got off the car, was stunned for a moment, and there was a sad feeling in his heart.

So familiar. The guest house of the Outer Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party Liaison Office. Before the fall of Outer Mongolia, Molotov stayed here every time he came. He was familiar with everything inside, including the room specially prepared for him.

, in this building, many times, senior officials of the Outer Mongolia People's Revolutionary Party came with the piety of pilgrims to listen to his teachings. Everything in Outer Mongolia was in his hands at that time.

It was a high-spirited and extremely passionate day. One word he said would become the direction of action for the land of Outer Mongolia. Now, he has returned to his old place, but things have changed. He, the former master, has now become a beggar.

Passers-by, feelings of loss and melancholy filled Molotov's heart.

The sound of the jeep leaving woke up Molotov, who was immersed in memories. He put away his sour mood, walked up the steps, and faced a major general of the independent division, facing the Cullen afternoon sunshine, looking at him with bright eyes.

On my own.
