Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 2779 Could it be a Chinese trap?

Molotov couldn't hold back his anger anymore. He simply despised this guy who was full of muscles but didn't know what kind of danger he was facing. No wonder, Marshal Petroshilov, Chief of the General Staff, once said to him

However, "Rokossovsky is nothing but loyal to his leader. He is barely able to be the commander of an infantry regiment!"

"Comrade Rokossovsky, please face the reality soberly!" Molotov said unceremoniously, "Hundreds of thousands of elite German troops are on the west side of the Ural Mountains, about 30 kilometers away from the Kurgan.

It’s just over a day’s journey, and although there is no news of the German advance coming from the security forces, who can guarantee that the Germans will not attack?”

"Let me ask you, with the newly defeated army of more than 90,000 people, no heavy equipment, and only enough food to last a few days, once the Germans attack, what will you do to resist? How much strategic room for maneuver does Western Siberia have?

How many days can we fight in the wild in such a cold winter?"

"Chinese Tang Qiuli's conspiracy, you don't understand politics. If the Chinese want us to perish, they don't need to do anything. They just need to seal the border tightly. When the Germans come over, we are still desperate. Now, Tang Qiuli

Inviting Comrade Stalin to meet in Tomsk is obviously for other purposes, and no matter what his purpose is, it is an opportunity for us who are on the verge of despair!"

"You are just guessing out of thin air and gambling with Comrade Stalin's life!"

"Would I not consider the safety of Comrade Stalin? But this is the only way out at the moment! It is much better than sitting still and waiting for death!"

"The only way out? Is to send Comrade Stalin, the great leader of the Soviet people, into a Chinese trap!"

"Trap? Comrade Rokossovsky. I would like to hear what kind of trap the Chinese have?"

Oops, General Molotov and General Rokossovsky suddenly started arguing so loudly that the roof almost fell off. The guards standing guard outside were frightened when they heard this, for fear of a fight inside.

"Stop arguing!" After a long time, Stalin seemed to notice that his right and left men were arguing. But surprisingly he did not get angry, but said calmly, but the majesty in his tone was still there. Suddenly, his face turned red from the quarrel.

The two of them immediately became exhausted and sat down awkwardly.

"Stop arguing. Comrade Molotov is right. For us now, Tang Qiuli's invitation is also an opportunity!" Stalin said quietly, "I already feel that going to Tomsk to talk to that Chinese

Meet!"

"Comrade Stalin, you..." General Rokossovsky stared at him and tried to dissuade him.

"Comrade Rokossovsky, I understand your mood!" Stalin waved his hand and interrupted him, saying, "But I must go to Tomsk once, for the future of the Soviet Union and for the sake of the more than 90,000 followers.

Our Red Army soldiers, even if Tomsk is like a dragon's pool and a tiger's den, I will go!"

Stalin's eyes flashed with desperation and stubbornness, "I took Comrade Molotov with me to Tomsk, and you, Comrade Rokossovsky, served as our commander while Comrade Molotov and I were away.

The temporary commander of the Supreme Command is responsible for all the affairs of the Kurgan troops and government agencies. I will convey your appointment in the form of a written order!"

"Also, Comrade Rokossovsky, you must pay close attention to the movements of the Germans on the west side of the Ural Mountains. Once the German army launches an attack, immediately withdraw from Kurgan and do everything possible to preserve our strength. As long as we get through this

In the harsh winter, there is a way!"

"The most important thing is that if Comrade Molotov and I have not returned after three days, it means that we have been detained in Tomsk by Tang Qiuli. You will also immediately lead the troops to transfer to Central Asia.

, disperse the troops and hide them among the local tribal armed forces. The Cheka has a secret organization there. You can contact them. As long as we stand firm, we still have a chance to make a comeback!"

"When it is confirmed that Comrade Molotov and I were killed by the Chinese, then the future Soviet government will be left to your leadership to infiltrate our forces into China's Xinjiang, and the Nationalist Government's Xinjiang

Border Supervisor Sheng Shicai has contact with us. Contact him through our country’s consulate in Dihua. You can seek refuge with him and use his power to make a comeback!"

"Although Sheng Shicai is an official of the National Government, he is a very ambitious person. He wants to start a new business in Xinjiang. You might as well integrate the entire army into his army. It doesn't matter if he changes his face, Rokosov

Comrade Ski, the future of the Soviet Union is entrusted to you!"

Stalin's tone was calm, he clasped his fingers, and patiently explained everything in rare detail. Regarding the future of the Soviet government-in-exile, he seemed to be arranging the aftermath.

General Rokossovsky burst into tears. Comrade Stalin's words were clearly explaining his future affairs. He had already prepared for the worst. He was heartbroken, but in the face of the great trust, he took charge of 90,000 people.

The fate of many soldiers and the Soviet government was filled with ecstasy. In his heart, he even had some hope that the leader would not come back again. The mixed emotions of sadness and joy were intertwined, making him want to cry and laugh at the same time. It was a contradiction.

Extremely complicated emotions!

More than two hours later, two light two-seater reconnaissance planes, guided by several fires, landed on the flat snow outside Kurgan City. Stalin, Molotov, and Tang Qiuli's two special envoys landed in a few

Under the escort of two guards, we braved the flying snow and howling cold wind to board the reconnaissance plane. Then, the reconnaissance plane slid on the snow, took off into the sky, and disappeared into the night sky!

The news that Stalin and Molotov went to Tomsk was strictly kept secret from all Soviet officers and soldiers, as well as government officials, except for the deputy chief of staff, General Rokossovsky, who acted as the supreme leader.

In addition, probably a few of Stalin's personal guards knew that the leader had left Kurgan, but they still didn't know where exactly he went!

This was also the point of Stalin's maturity. He was afraid that this would shake the morale of the army. If the news that he had left Kurgan was revealed to the soldiers who had been defeated, and the morale of the army was fluctuating, and the future was uncertain, it might cause a catastrophe.

The consequences of running away?

In Tomsk City, Siberia, at the temporary headquarters of the East Point Force, Liu Tiehan smiled and said to Tang Qiuli: "Commander, Stalin really dared to come. I kind of admire his courage!"

"Where does the courage come from?" Tang Qiuli corrected with a smile, "He is at the end of his rope and has come to try his luck! Brother Tiehan, Stalin will probably arrive in more than two hours. Let's boil a pot of wine and make some.

Xiaocai, wait while you eat! You also come with me to meet this Soviet leader who is like a lost dog!"

"I'm happy to accompany you!" Liu Tiehan laughed loudly, "Guard, inform the cooking team to get some food and drinks! It's a pity that Yu Guanghan is not here and stayed at the Fengtian headquarters. Otherwise, it would be fun to drink. Commander, how can I

See if you have the intention to sit firmly on the fishing platform and wait for the big fish to take the bait!"

More than two hours later, three light reconnaissance planes braved the heavy wind and snow and landed on the snow-covered field airport runway outside Tomsk. The pale Stalin was helped out of the cockpit.

The lieutenant colonel said: "Mr. Stalin, our division commander is waiting for you, go over there immediately!" Several cars entered the city.

The Soviet leader, who was at the end of his rope, looked exhausted, worried, frightened, and nervous. In addition, it was his first time to fly in a reconnaissance plane. He was flying in the dark night, braving the snow, for fear of being accidentally hit by a plane.

Destruction, what he needs most now is a peaceful sleep, but this is obviously unrealistic, the Chinese is waiting for him!

In a spacious room, as warm as spring, old rivals Stalin and Tang Qiuli, who had fought many times, finally met. Stalin was still very observant. There were two Chinese generals in the room. He could tell at a glance that the young one

The general must be Tang Qiuli, whom I hate to the core, mainly because of the difference in temperament.

The two of them were famous names that they had heard for a long time, and they were opponents who had fought against each other many times, but they had never met. In Stalin's view, this Chinese who stirred up troubles in the Far East and made himself suffer repeatedly was surprisingly young and brave.

The elegant temperament and the iron-blooded aura of a soldier are perfectly integrated together. The twinkling light in his eyes and his calm demeanor make people dare not look down upon him!

"This is a formidable opponent!" Stalin thought to himself.

Tang Qiuli was greatly disappointed with Stalin. In later generations, he had seen many photos of him, but compared with the person in front of him, there was a big difference. First of all, his figure was definitely not taller, and he was taller than himself.

He is a head shorter, his eyes are not that sharp, his face is pale, and he looks tired. He looks like an old man who is entering a frail age.

This was the former Red Soviet Empire, the supreme ruler, the head of the behemoth that made it difficult for European and American powers after World War II. Stalin, who once delivered a classic speech at the Moscow Red Square military parade, actually had a thick black beard.

It's the same as in the photo. Other than that, it doesn't match the impression in my head at all, mainly in terms of temperament and spirit!

Seeing the two people sizing each other up, Molotov and Tang Qiuli were old acquaintances and hurriedly introduced: "Dear General Tang, this is our supreme leader of the Soviet Union, Comrade Stalin! This is the Vice Chairman of the Military Commission of the Government of the Republic of China.

General Tang Qiuli!"

The lieutenant colonel who served as the special envoy acted as an interpreter and translated Molotov's words. Tang Qiuli said politely: "Originally, Mr. Stalin came all the way from the Kurgan and should rest for a night. I have plenty of time.

But does Mr. Stalin have time to waste?”

"Let's get straight to the point. The main purpose of inviting Mr. Stalin to Tomsk this time is to sign some treaties with the Soviet government!" After speaking, Tang Qiuli waved his hand, and a staff officer took down a stack of documents, "This is for the treaty.

Text, Mr. Stalin and Mr. Molotov, let’s take a look at the specific content first!”
