Chapter 523 Sino-Soviet Negotiations

"Liu Hua, did I hear you right? There are so many heavy weapons. If Stalin really agrees, with these aircraft, we can use the pilots we have just trained in the past year to form a flying brigade.

It's enough to compete with an air wing of the Japanese army..." Vice Chairman Zhou, who was in charge of recording, opened his mouth and asked in disbelief...

"Reporting to Vice Chairman Zhou, I only made an estimate of the quantity of these equipment based on the value of the light weapons of five infantry divisions. However, since we intend to negotiate with Stalin, this requirement can only be regarded as the bottom line for our negotiations with the Soviet Union.

When we call Stalin back, our request must be at least doubled, so that we have room for bargaining and will be more powerful for us..." Liu Hua replied...

"The boss is indeed right about you. You are indeed a person who only takes advantage and does not suffer losses. This time Comrade Stalin met you, which is his bad luck... Chairman, since we have Comrade Liu Hua, a master negotiator, here, I suggest,

We will give Comrade Liu Hua full authority to handle this negotiation with Stalin, and also give Comrade Liu Hua a chance to practice..." Vice Chairman Zhou nodded, looked at Liu Hua in front of him with a smile and said...

"This suggestion is good. In this negotiation process with the Kuomintang government, we have also eliminated Comrade Liu Hua's advantage in this aspect. Therefore, I completely agree with Enlai's suggestion and put this burden on the shoulders of Comrade Liu Hua."

Go up...Liu Hua, how are you? Do you have the confidence to complete the tasks assigned to us by the Party Central Committee..." Regarding Vice Chairman Zhou's suggestion, the chairman, who had long had great expectations for Liu Hua, did not hesitate at all.

Asked with a smile...

"I also agree. I am absolutely relieved to leave this matter to Liu Hua... I believe that Comrade Liu Hua will be able to achieve complete success in this negotiation..." The commander-in-chief then agreed...

In this way, Liu Hua took over the spacing task under the expectant eyes of several people. Of course, for this seemingly arduous task, it can be said that he came from a later generation and had a full understanding of Stalin.

He believed that with his own abilities, he would be able to take a big hit from Stalin, a stubborn old man...

As soon as he received the mission, Liu Hua took the telegram he had just received to the telecommunications room of the Central Military Commission and began to reply to Marshal Zhukov, commander-in-chief of the Soviet Red Army in the Far East...

"Dear Marshal Zhukov, regarding your suggestion, as a part of the Communist International, we very much want to send troops to the Northeast and attack the three northeastern provinces, both from the perspective of recovering the territory occupied by the Japanese army and from the perspective of friendship between communists.

The nearly one million Kwantung Army troops... However, although the Eighth Route Army troops led by our party have experienced tremendous growth in total strength after several years of development. However, without the support of the air force, armored forces and artillery units, our army

Sending troops to the Northeast is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. In order to prevent the armed forces that our party has worked so hard to build from being lost on the battlefield without any conditions, in order to prevent the blood of our Communists from remaining in vain on the battlefield in the Northeast.

.After research and decision, we have no idea of ​​launching an attack on the Kwantung Army troops in the three eastern provinces before our army receives strong air support. We hope that Marshal Zhukov and Comrade Stalin as far away as Moscow can understand the difficulties of the Chinese Communist Party.

...." In less than a few minutes, a carefully thought-out telegram appeared in Liu Hua's hands...

"Immediately send this telegram to the Soviet Far East Military District Headquarters. Be sure to indicate that only Marshal Zhukov can personally open this telegram..." After confirming that there were no problems with the telegram in his hand, Liu Hua faced the communications staff in the telecommunications room.

, ordered with a serious look on his face...

"Yes, Chief..." After saying that, the only high-power radio station in the telecommunications room, under the control of two operators, began to make sweet reporting sounds...

At this moment, Marshal Zhukov, who is far away at the Far East Military Region Headquarters, is sitting in his office, looking at the huge military map of the Far East in front of him with a smile. At the same time, he is waiting for a call back from the CCP. At this moment, he

, faced with the increasingly bad situation in the Far East, and the nearly one million Kwantung Army troops who were already preparing to move around, the reason why he could still smile on his face was because he believed that the CCP leaders with backward equipment would not be able to withstand the situation.

He aroused the temptation of five infantry divisions with light weapons, and thus dispatched his most elite troops to the northeast...

As long as the CCP can exclude at least 100,000 troops from sending troops to the Northeast, then there will be absolutely no problem in using the CCP’s armed forces to turn the Japanese rear area into a pot of porridge... And at that time, there were nearly one million Guandong soldiers in the three northeastern provinces.

The army will fall into a situation of internal and external troubles, and at that time, they will not have enough troops and experience to invade the Far East... The bad situation faced by the Far East will also be solved...

"Comrade Zhukov, the CCP has sent back a telegram. However, the CCP requires that only you have the right to read this telegram..." Marshal Zhukov stood in front of a huge map, with a smile on his face as he imagined the future of the Far East, in his own world

After careful planning, the situation was getting better and better. General Purkayev, Chief of Staff of the Far East Military Region, hurried into the office with a telegram and said anxiously.

"Uh, what kind of telegram, you actually asked me to read it personally? Could it be that the Chinese Communist Party has agreed to our request and is preparing to discuss a specific troop dispatch plan..." Marshal Zhukov said with a puzzled look on his face, and quickly accepted the telegram sent by Chief of Staff General Purkayev.

A telegram came in and I started to read it carefully...

However, in just a moment, Marshal Zhukov frowned tightly... and said to General Purkaev, the chief of staff in front of him: "I didn't expect that the CCP actually rejected our conditions. It seems that Mao Zedong of the CCP

, is really an excellent leader. However, the Chinese Communist Party’s troops sending troops to the Northeast is necessary for our Far East. It seems that we have to pay a higher price to truly impress Mao Zedong of the Communist Party of China and impress the leaders of the Communist Party of China.

The army..."

"Comrade Zhukov, this Chinese Communist Mao Zedong is really a difficult figure. He doesn't even take the orders of the Comintern seriously. What's more important is that we provided them with weapons for five infantry divisions, but they didn't even agree to our request.

"My opinion is to report it to Comrade Stalin in Moscow immediately and ask Comrade Stalin to make a new decision..." said the chief of staff.

"Immediately forward the original text of this telegram to Moscow. At the same time, in my name, send a telegram to Comrade Stalin: Dear Comrade Stalin, I believe that there is only one reason why the Chinese Communist Party does not agree to our demands. They do not satisfy us.

conditions or they want to put forward more new demands. However, in the face of the increasingly bad situation in the Far East, no matter how much we pay to the CCP, we must still ask the CCP to send troops to the Northeast. Because this will have a great impact on the future of the Far East.

Both have great benefits... Therefore, I suggest that for the future of the Far East, Comrade Stalin personally sends a telegram to Mao Zedong of the Communist Party of China to conduct specific negotiations and increase our negotiating strength... Commander of the Far East Military Region Zhukov..."

Looking at the chief of staff in front of him, Marshal Zhukov said with a serious face.

"Yes, Comrade Zhukov, I will send a telegram to Moscow right away. I believe that for the future of the Far East, the great Comrade Stalin will definitely agree with your suggestion and make the most correct decision..." Chief of Staff General Purkayev

He replied with a confident look on his face, turned around and left the office, walking towards the telecommunications room not far away, ready to send a report...

"Comrade Stalin, Mao Zedong of the Chinese Communist Party is so unreasonable. They actually rejected our suggestion... My God, this is the equipment of five entire infantry divisions. For the Chinese Communist army that lacks weapons and ammunition, it is like falling from the sky.

The pie that came down was a help in times of need, but they actually refused... I can't believe it, what on earth were they thinking?" Similarly, Marshal Roshilov, the chief of the Red Army General Staff located in Stalin's office in Moscow, saw the letter sent by Marshal Zhukov personally.

After receiving the telegram, I was also dumbfounded. As soon as he entered Stalin's office, Marshal Roshilov said impatiently...

"This is beyond my expectation. However, from this telegram, we can clearly see that under the leadership of Mao Zedong, the Chinese Communist Party has gradually formed a mature party. In time, it will surely

Becoming the most powerful opponent of the Chinese Kuomintang central government... Marshal Roshilov, now the Chinese Communist Party has made it clear that it does not agree to send troops to Northeast China. Do you have any suggestions for Comrade Zhukov's suggestion..." After reading the telegram in his hand, after a brief moment

After silence, Stalin spoke...

"Comrade Stalin, I believe that the great Red Army soldiers we have deployed in the Far East can definitely block the attack of the Japanese Kwantung Army. There is absolutely no need to negotiate with a party that does not even hold national sovereignty in its hands. What is more important is

Yes, the Chinese Communist Party is just a branch of the Communist International, and it dares to disobey your orders. We have no need to support such a branch..." Chief of Staff Roshilov said with a look of displeasure.

"No, Comrade Roshilov, the situation in the Far East is not as good as you imagined. According to the latest statistics compiled by our intelligence department, if the Japanese Kwantung Army assembled an army of 300,000 people and suddenly launched an attack on our Far East region,

.Only relying on hundreds of thousands of Red Army soldiers in the Far East will not last long. And as the Far East is occupied by the Japanese army, what will be waiting for us in Moscow, I don’t even tell you, is to be attacked by Germany and

Japan's front and rear attacks. Therefore, no matter what the price, for the future of our great Soviet Union, we must protect the Far East from being occupied by the Japanese... Therefore, as for Comrade Zhukov's suggestion, in principle, I am

I very much agree..." Stalin said.

"Comrade Stalin, your opinion is that you intend to negotiate with Mao Zedong of the Chinese Communist Party in person. However, as the general secretary of the entire Soviet Union, Mao Zedong is only the secretary of the Chinese Communist Party, and he does not even have China's political power in his own hands.

....Such a comparison is too..." Marshal Roshilov reminded him in a low voice while being shocked...

"Comrade Roshilov, you are wrong. For the security of the Far East, face is nothing at all. Today, we lost a little bit of declaration face, but in exchange for the peace of the Far East, we gained

The future of the Soviet Union, why not make such an exchange? Therefore, I decided to personally negotiate with Mao Zedong of the Chinese Communist Party to urge the Chinese Communist Party to send troops to the three eastern provinces... Comrade Roshilov immediately called back to the Chinese Communist Party and asked them about the details of sending troops.

Request..." Stalin said affirmatively.

However, what Stalin, Marshal Roshilov, and Marshal Zhukov in the Far East could not imagine was that at this moment, the person waiting in the CCP’s telecommunications room to negotiate with them was not Chairman Mao, but the newly appointed Northeastern

Field Army Commander Liu Hua…

"Call back to Stalin: In order to increase the military strength of our Eighth Route Army in sending troops to the Northeast, I hope Comrade Stalin can support our department with 80 combat aircraft of various types, 200 tanks, 2 artillery shell production lines, 4 bullet production lines, 4 rifle production lines, and light and heavy machine gun production lines.

Two, two artillery production lines... In addition, in order to allow our army to become familiar with these weapons and equipment faster, I hope Comrade Stalin can assign me a certain number of combat personnel..." After reading the telegram sent by Stalin, Liu Hua knew that this stubborn

The old man, for his own interests in the Far East and for the future of the Soviet Union, finally bowed his head to himself and the CCP... Thinking of this, Liu Hua no longer hesitated and directly doubled his bottom line.

, began detailed negotiations with Stalin...

"Comrade Stalin, blackmail, the CCP is simply blackmail... actually asking us to provide so much heavy equipment... Comrade Stalin, the CCP must pay conditions for their huge appetite... The great Soviet Union will never allow it to be defeated by a weak

Political party blackmail..." After reading Liu Hua's reply, Chief of Staff Marshal Roshilov stared at Stalin in front of him and exclaimed...

"Comrade Roshilov, you know this is a negotiation, and negotiation involves bargaining... Although I was also very shocked when I saw this telegram, I can clearly feel that our little brother has developed

Mature, no longer satisfied with the current situation, they already have greater ambitions in their hearts..."

"Comrade Roshilov, reply to the CCP: Comrade Mao Zedong, although the great Soviet Red Army very much wants to unconditionally support your weapons and equipment. However, in the face of the increasingly bad situation in the Far East, our logistics warehouse in the Far East

It is impossible to produce so much equipment at one time... But in order to show the sincerity of the Soviet Red Army, we have decided to unconditionally support your department's production lines of 40 combat aircraft of various types, 100 combat tanks of various types, and all bullets, artillery shells and weapons.

The quantity has been halved... I hope Comrade Mao Zedong can seriously consider the Soviet Red Army's request..." In response to Marshal Roshilov's answer, Stalin shook his head and replied...

"Haha, this Stalin is really good at bargaining. He cut off half of these supplies in one fell swoop... However, you are begging us to send troops now, and we, the Communist Party of China, are not the ones to be slaughtered... Call Stalin back... Our army

After sending troops to the Northeast, without the assistance of the air force and tank troops, facing the Japanese army's encirclement and suppression by millions of Kwantung Army troops, there was only one result, and that was the total annihilation of the army. Therefore, I hope that Comrade Stalin will see that we are all the Communist International

As a member of the Communist Party of China, under the above-mentioned conditions, we can provide our department with a batch of additional combat aircraft, so that our Eighth Route Army troops have a certain room to fight back when facing Japanese aircraft in the Northeast... At the same time, send troops for me.

The Northeastern Army has sufficient weapons and ammunition in the rear of the Japanese army. I hope Comrade Stalin can provide more support to our Eighth Route Army in the production lines of bullets, artillery shells, and rifles and machine guns..." After reading Stalin's conditions in his hand, Liu Hua sneered and said

He ordered the communications officer in front of him...

"It seems that the Chinese brother we are negotiating with is a master negotiator... At this moment, he has completely figured out our bottom line... However, even so, we have to agree to their conditions. Because we

The Far East cannot afford to wait, and the 500,000 Soviet Red Army troops in the Far East cannot afford to wait... Marshal Roshilov sent a reply to the CCP. In order to express the support of the Soviet Red Army to the CCP, we fully agree with your request. We, the Soviet Red Army, will send you a call in the near future.

Within the Far East Military Region, we will unconditionally support your department with 80 active combat aircraft and 120 active tanks... At the same time, we will support four bullet production lines, two large-caliber artillery shell production lines, two rifle production lines, one light and heavy machine gun production line, and one artillery production line.

….”

"However, the great Soviet Red Army requires the Eighth Route Army under the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party to send at least 100,000 elite troops into the Northeast in the shortest possible time to continuously harass the rear of the Japanese Kwantung Army..." Facing the shrewdness

Stalin was surprised and agreed to this request without hesitation. After all, for the Soviet Union, which had millions of Red Army troops, these supplies were just a drop in the ocean. The Far East Military District alone could

Easily take out these weapons and equipment without any impact...

"Yes, Comrade Stalin. But where should we allocate these materials to support the Eighth Route Army led by the Chinese Communist Party?" Now that Stalin had made a decision, Marshal Roshilov continued to ask...
