Age of Conquest Reborn

Far away in Kulun, Outer Mongolia, Molotov was negotiating with Tang Qiuli. A telegram, like a bombshell, bombarded the Soviet party, government and military leaders from all walks of life. They were shocked. Before Comrade Stalin could set the tone, who could

I don’t think about what it is, and I don’t dare to say anything. This matter is too big and serious. If I am not careful, I will be labeled as a traitor. This is a crime that can lead to death of my life and family!

"Comrades, please share your opinions on Comrade Molotov's telegram!" Stalin spoke up and broke the silence. Stalin knew in his heart that if he did not speak, this silence would continue.

When will you be the boss?

Stalin couldn't afford to wait, Zhukov's Far East Front couldn't afford to wait, and the entire Soviet Union couldn't afford to wait. Just today, German bombers bombed Moscow for the first time. Although they were eventually repelled by the Moscow Military District Air Force fighter force, Stalin

I know the seriousness of the problem. If the German bombers come for the first time, they can come for the second time, the third time... and countless times. In the future, Moscow will be shrouded in the shadow of the German bombers.

under!

Although the ground battle line is still hundreds of kilometers away from Moscow, for the German armored group, it is only a matter of about a week. All members of the Moscow Military District rushed to the front line, which only temporarily stabilized the shaky situation.

The defense line could not even organize a medium-sized counterattack, and its troops were being depleted at an alarming rate under the ferocious German attack.

I gave a fatal order to the Moscow Military District and frontline troops to hold the defense line for more than a month. Now, about a week has passed, and the situation on the battlefield is, as always, developing in a direction that is not conducive to the Soviet Union. For the frontline troops

, can it last for a month? Stalin was unsure?

In the Far East, the two front troops rescuing Zhukov's troops were blocked by the Japanese army hundreds of kilometers away from the battlefield. Stalin knew very well that whether it was General Kilganin, commander of the Outer Xing'an Mountains Front, or Lake Baikal

The commander of the front army, General Gregariff, had tried his best. For several days in a row, he commanded the troops to storm the Soviet blocking line regardless of casualties.

There are also the troops of the Outer Mongolia Front who are still wandering on the grasslands of Outer Mongolia. So far, they have not even touched the shadow of the Ural Mountains and the Tannu Mountains. Vasilevskiy also tried his best and was unable to punish any frontline soldier.

General, all the troops are fighting and maintaining the offensive posture, but why has the current extreme passive state been caused?

Stalin clearly saw that it was all because of one person, the Chinese Tang Qiuli. He was using invisible but perceptible black hands to stir up the war situation in the East. Whether it was the Far East battlefield or the Outer Mongolia battlefield, this was the case.

The ghost of the Chinese is lingering, and the Outer Mongolian Front Army cannot return to Europe as soon as possible. The Outer Xing'anling Front Army and the Baikal Lake Front Army do not dare to let go and break the Japanese blockade.

"I am fighting to the death with the Japanese, and the Chinese is reaping the benefits behind my back! I know this clearly in my heart, but I can't stop! - Maybe the Japanese Emperor Hirohito also has the same bitter mood as himself?

"Stalin smiled bitterly.

Stalin retracted his melancholy thoughts and found that his previous suggestion had not received the response he deserved. All the party, government, and military officials, as well as members of the Politburo, were as silent as clay and wood sculptures, trying their best to avoid himself.

gaze.

The strange thing is that Stalin had no idea of ​​getting angry. He understood the mood of his comrades. This matter was too serious. He was not the same. It was very simple. Single-choice question, you could refuse. Reject the madness of the greedy Chinese Tang Qiuli.

Conditions, but the consequences of refusal are clear to everyone. The possibility of the Soviet Union’s collapse is not a possibility, but a certainty!

We can agree to Tang Qiuli's conditions, but the price is too high. A line cut off most of the eastern territory of the Soviet Union, shrinking the Soviet Union's land area by nearly one-fifth. How will future generations view themselves and the comrades here?

, sell the country’s territory in exchange for a chance to breathe, but if you don’t sell it, you will lose the country. It is precisely because of the simple choice that it is more difficult and there is no room for consideration.

Stalin looked at the comrades with anger and helplessness in his eyes. He wanted to let Marshal Petroshilov, Chief of the General Staff, speak first, but he gave up the idea, "Comrade Petroshilov is not easy either.

, bearing all the pressure of the frontline war, his face looks so haggard and frightening, so it won’t be difficult for him!" He thought with a sigh.

Stalin put out his pipe and was silent for a while. A look of determination flashed in his eyes, and his tone was calm and hoarse as he said: "Comrades, I know this is a difficult question to decide, but we must

The decision is made right here, because we cannot afford to wait. The territorial issues related to our Soviet Union cannot be decided by that person. No one has the power to make such a decision that will have a major impact on the great Soviet Union in the future!"

After a pause, Stalin saw that the eyes of the comrades were all focused on his face. He continued: "Let's vote by a show of hands. When signing diplomatic documents, I only need to sign my name, Stalin.

I will bear all the consequences myself! Comrades who agree to the conditions proposed by that damn Chinese please raise your hands!" After saying this, Stalin slowly raised his right hand.

Stalin's movement of raising his hands was so slow and heavy, as if he was lifting a huge mountain. He was shaking slightly as if he was overwhelmed. Then he stabilized again. The simple movement of raising his hands demonstrated all his emotions and painful thinking processes.

.

There was still silence in the office. After a while, party, government and military leaders and members of the Politburo raised their hands one after another. However, only about one-third of the people raised their hands. After a few minutes, more people raised their hands.

, everyone’s face was filled with struggle and pain. After seven or eight minutes, the top Soviet officials who participated in the meeting all raised their right hands. It can be seen that the military generals were the last to raise their hands!

As soldiers, unable to protect their country, these generals felt even more painful. Suddenly, in the painful atmosphere, there was a burst of suppressed crying, like a wounded beast, howling feebly, and more

People shed tears. About one-fifth of the territory of the Soviet Union was lost in their own hands. All the top leaders of the Soviet Union instantly hated Tang Qiuli.

Stalin's throat was choked with sobs and he said: "The vote was unanimous, agree to the Chinese's conditions, call Comrade Molotov back immediately, and tell Comrade Molotov that you don't have to wait until ten o'clock tomorrow morning to meet with Tang Qiuli overnight.

, sign the relevant negotiation agreement!”

Stalin ordered his secretary. Then, he looked at the crying officials with painful eyes, and said in a low voice: "Comrades, we must remember this shameful moment. The lost country will be in our hands."

After taking it back and defeating the German fascist army, it is time for our Soviet Union to demand everything back from the Chinese. Let's adjourn the meeting!" He waved his hand feebly and announced.

The high-level Soviet officials who attended the meeting left with heavy hearts and great pain. Stalin was the only one left in the office of the University of Nottingham. The secretary came in and asked him to take a rest. He refused and ordered the secretary to turn off all the lights.

In an instant, boundless darkness enveloped Stalin. Outside the window, the dim lights of Moscow at night projected mottled light and shadow. Stalin was so painful that he was already numb. "As for that villainous Chinese Tang Qiuli, why do I always have such a problem?"

Feeling powerless?" he asked himself secretly.

Taking the 85th east longitude as the boundary and cutting off two-thirds of the eastern part of the land instead of the Ural Mountains as the boundary, Tang Qiuli drew this line so that he did not have the courage to risk everything. If the boundary was in the Ural Mountains,

Mountains, then abandon Moscow, abandon the European part, and concentrate all the troops in the Asian part. There are millions of troops in the four fronts, and there is no urgent problem of returning to the European battlefield.

So, do all the passivities in front of me still exist? The answer is yes, all passivities and difficulties will be easily solved. Although moving the capital and transferring the Soviet Union's national power to cold Siberia is not my first choice, when the European battlefield is defeated, I can't

When it comes to recovery, you have to make a choice.

But the key to the problem now is that as long as he negotiates with Tang Qiuli and reaches an agreement, his troops will not interfere with all Soviet actions. The Japanese blocking line will soon be broken through, and the Far East Front Army will escape. The three

With the front troops united in one place, the Japanese troops in the Far East had no choice. In addition, Vasilevskiy's troops were an elite front army with several million troops. It was not impossible to join in the European direction and repel the German attack.

things.

Just because he had hope, Stalin would not make a desperate move, but he was not grateful to Tang Qiuli for not using the Ural Mountains, the natural dividing line between Europe and Asia, to swallow up the Asian part of the Soviet Union's territory, forcing himself and the Soviet Union to

On the road to death, this was not discovered by his conscience, but another conspiracy. Although Stalin could not yet judge what the conspiracy was, he could be sure that the greedy Chinese Tang Qiuli would not do this.

of kindness.

Thinking of Tang Qiuli, the anger in Stalin's heart burned brightly. He believed that all this today was caused by Tang Qiuli, but Stalin had forgotten that it was precisely because of his greed and arrogance that he used troops against the East.

Attacking both forces at the same time led to the current situation. However, Stalin, who was accustomed to taking advantage, would not think this way. He would only think that all the current difficulties in the Soviet Union were caused by Tang Qiuli alone.

Stalin secretly became cruel. Once the Soviet Union regained its composure, the first person to be killed would be Tang Qiuli. They could even penetrate into the mainland of China. In the darkness, there was a creepy sound of teeth grinding.
