I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

Page 493

After finishing speaking, Shu Guosheng stood up, using his eyes to realize that Jiang Weiguo left with him, leaving Vyshinsky who had been put into a petrified state to sit there blankly.

Jiang Weiguo and Shu Guosheng walked to an empty space outside the meeting room.

"A naked threat?" Jiang Weiguo laughed, "Isn't it too simple and direct?"

Shu Guosheng smiled: "When the overall situation is settled, there is no need for conspiracies and tricks, the simpler and more direct methods are more effective.

People like Vyshinsky are Stalin's most loyal lackeys, but is he really loyal to Stalin?Those lackeys of Stalin really loyal to him from the bottom of their hearts?not necessarily!They are either forced by high-handed methods, or because of brainwashing methods, or because they are greedy for wealth, fame and fortune, so they willingly help the evildoers.

Their loyalty is worthless.

Of course, in order to prevent this Vyshinsky from really planning to be buried with Stalin, I said those last words!"

"What's the point of those last words?"

"I hinted at Vyshinsky that there are already many people in the upper echelons of the Soviet Union who are planning to surrender.

If Vyshinsky imitated others and turned his back on the dark side, wouldn't we be instigating against him?If Vyshinsky was loyal to Stalin with all his heart, he would definitely go back and inform Stalin, telling Stalin that "many high-level officials are planning to betray you". , betrayed him, and plotted against him, so he will carry out another purge of "would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go".

Could the Soviet Union survive another purge?At that time, wouldn't the Soviet Union, which was full of blood and turmoil inside, be defeated without a fight?Moreover, the greater the pressure, the stronger the resistance, and the more Stalin killed people, the more people were stimulated to betray him.

isn't it? "Shu Guosheng smiled slightly.

Jiang Weiguo gave a thumbs up: "Indeed!"

At the same time, in the westernmost section of the North Asian battlefield, the Soviet city of Tyumen had just been captured by the Nanjing Army in the "Great Sandstorm" counterattack.

Zhang Zizhong, commander of the 37th Army and commander of the 38th Division, was on the road outside the city to welcome Hu Lian, the deputy commander of the 77th Division who arrived with his troops.

The two generals chatted and laughed and exchanged polite greetings. At the end, Zhang Zizhong asked Hu Lian curiously: "Deputy Commander Hu, what's your business here?"

Hu Lian smiled slightly, and softly uttered two words: "Massacre!"

"What?" Zhang Zizhong was taken aback, "Massacre? What do you mean??"

Hu Lian took out a warrant: "This is an order issued by the Second Young Master himself.

Kill all the 18 residents of Tyumen City, men, women, old and young, leaving no one behind!" He smiled empathetically, "Second Young Master considers that Deputy Commander Zhang may not be able to do so, so I asked Brother I'll bring someone over to help you!"

Zhang Zizhong was shocked and felt unbelievable: "Why do you want to massacre the city?"

Hu Lian put away the warrant and smiled again: "Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, and after breaking through the city, he massacred the city. He killed 30 people and exaggerated it to [-]. He publicized to the outside world that the city was massacred to establish its prestige because the soldiers and civilians in Xuzhou did not surrender. Next, Wherever Cao Cao's army went, all the cities feared the wind and surrendered, this is "slaughter one city, bring down ten cities"!"

Zhang Zizhong was still very shocked: "With all due respect, I still don't quite understand!"

Hu Lian looked at Qiumen, who was about to become a hell on earth: "Tyumen is a newly developed industrial city. Although there are not many factories in the city, they are very precious to us. It is hateful. When our army captured Qiumen, the people of Qiumen The Soviet military and civilians actually implemented the scorched earth policy, blowing up factories and destroying machines, resulting in nothing but ruins for our army.

Next, when our army attacked Yekaterinburg, Chelyabinsk and other places, wouldn't the local Soviet soldiers and civilians want to follow Tyumen?Because of ignorance of flattery and malicious destruction, the industrial equipment that should have belonged to our country’s wealth disappeared, so Qiumen was massacred by our army, and all 18 people in the city were spared!” He looked at Zhang Zizhong, “Next, Do Soviet soldiers and civilians in Yekaterinburg, Chelyabinsk and other places dare to implement the scorched earth policy? "

Zhang Zizhong suddenly realized: "It turns out to be like this, it turns out to be like this..." He immediately thought of something, "There are 18 residents in Qiumen City, don't you really want none of them to stay? You should kill thousands of people, and then exaggerate to 18, right?" He looked at Hu Lian and had a bad idea in his heart, "Are you really going to kill 18 people in the whole city? The reputation of our army will be tarnished!"

Hu Lian laughed: "Deputy Commander Zhang, Deputy Commander Zhang, our army killed thousands of people and claimed to have killed 18 people, and our army killed 18 people and claimed to have killed 18 people. The propaganda effect is the same, so killing thousands of people and Is there any difference in killing 18 people?" He said meaningfully, "As for the reputation of our army, there is no need to worry. First, the victor will not be condemned. Genghis Khan killed hundreds of millions, so what? He will still be eulogized and praised. , Worship, our army will be the victor of this war, who will redress the grievances and uphold justice for those Soviets who died? Second, to be honest, the reputation of our army is not much clean. The four cities in North Asia How many Soviets were killed in the siege war? In this "big avalanche" and "big sandstorm", our army claimed to have wiped out 80 enemies, but in reality? Our army killed at least five 80 Soviets! There are far more dead Soviet militiamen, Soviet recruits, and Soviet civilians than dead Soviet regular troops! The United States, Britain, and France have always spared no effort to smear and smear our army. , if we are good people, we will become bad people, and if we are bad people, of course we will still become bad people, so what is the difference?"

Zhang Zizhong was silent for a while: "We don't have to use intimidation, we can use Huairou!"

Hu Lian shook his head: "We can't use Huairou methods anymore.

Since participating in the Soviet War, our army has been treating the Soviets with iron and blood policies, especially the siege of four cities in North Asia, which completely imprinted our army with a brutal impression of killing people in the hearts of the Soviets. Under such circumstances, we If the army uses gentle tactics against the Soviets, it will be counterproductive, because the Soviets will not believe in our gentleness, so our army can only be more brutal, bloody, and more terrifying!"

Zhang Zizhong was completely speechless.

Chapter 572 Begging and Armistice (2)

According to the strategic plan of the Allied Powers, the Allied Forces launched the first stage of offensive against the Soviet Union in the second half of 1940. During the winter between the end of that year and the beginning of the following year, the offensive was suspended, and the frontline troops switched from offensive to defensive. Armed forces, digesting the results of the war, launched the second phase of the offensive against the Soviet Union in the spring and summer of 1941, which is also the final phase of the general offensive. The Soviet Union will be wiped out within half a year, and it is expected to completely end the Soviet Union in the autumn and winter of 1941.

However, due to the "big avalanche" launched by the Soviet army and the "winter battle" that broke out between China and the Soviet Union, the war plan of the Allied countries was disrupted to a certain extent. Although the Great War was won, the casualties were heavy and the material consumption was huge, which delayed the rest of the Chinese army and made it impossible for the German army to launch the second phase of the attack on the Soviet Union in the spring and summer of 50. According to the estimation of the Nanjing Army Headquarters , the Nanjing Army will have to rest for at least two months, and it will not be able to fight again until June 1941. After all, the winter battle ended in early April. After the winter battle broke out in the Soviet Union, the German army resumed its attack on Stalingrad in advance in order to contain the Soviet army, support the Nanjing army, and take advantage of the opportunity to obtain results. Although the German army failed to make the best preparations, it still advanced steadily. The battle went smoothly, and almost all of the city of Stalingrad was captured. The main force of the Soviet army was expelled from the city and fought stubbornly in the outer suburbs.

Against the background of this war situation, the Soviet authorities made a "desperate begging for peace" with China and Germany at the same time, with Roosevelt's help.

Hitler categorically refused the Soviet Union's begging for peace. He even bothered to meet the Soviet envoy. After learning about this, Shang Zhen hurriedly flew from Kiev to Berlin to meet Hitler.

Hitler smiled arrogantly and said: "General Shang, Stalin is begging me for mercy, he is ridiculous, he still has such unrealistic fantasies when he is about to die.

The hateful thing is that Roosevelt actually sent a special envoy, obviously to support Stalin.

What did Roosevelt see himself as?He is threatening me?I will be afraid of him?Will Germany be afraid of the United States?snort!If Roosevelt stayed in his wheelchair honestly and did not interfere with the great cause of Germany and the Confederate States, I would naturally have nothing to do with him. If he overestimated himself, then I would no longer be polite to him!Sooner or later, Germany and the United States will also have a showdown! "

Shang Zhen nodded again and again: "Of course, of course, we also don't like the United States very much. We always put on a high-ranking appearance, as if it is a responsible, enthusiastic about upholding justice for other countries, mediating conflicts among countries, and doing our best to maintain world peace. He is a righteous person, but he is full of benevolence, righteousness and morality. In fact, he is only interested in profit. Something needs a long-term plan!"

"Long-term plan?" Hitler spread his hands, "I really can't see why we still need to talk nonsense with Stalin? Is it a waste of time to talk to a dying person? Because of Roosevelt? I can guarantee that Roosevelt will never get it." Taking strong and effective measures to intervene in the Soviet war, firstly, he was restricted by the U.S. Congress and the opposition parties, and secondly, he did not have the courage!"

"No!" Shang Zhen shook his head, "Because of the Soviet Union's 'scorched earth policy', this is the key!" He said frankly, "Dear head of state, we not only need victory, but also the benefits brought by victory. Benefits, or victory? Your Excellency, we need the wealth of the Soviet Union, especially the industrial equipment of the Soviet Union!" He sighed, "To put it bluntly, Germany may not look down on the broken copper and iron of the Soviet Union, but we in China ...really need it.

Your Excellency, China is getting stronger and stronger, isn't it a good thing for Germany?After all, the Soviet War was only the beginning of the German-Chinese alliance, and there is still a long way for Germany and China to continue to work hand in hand!"

Hitler was silent and deep in thought, and finally he said very sincerely: "Of course I understand China's difficulties and difficulties, but if Stalin and his Bolshevik gang are let go at the last moment, what will be the consequences? In your Chinese words, if you cut the weeds without removing the roots, you will be born again when the spring breeze blows! General Shang, I am not a cruel and bloodthirsty person, but some things must be completely eliminated! The Eastern Slavs are an inferior race, and their Faith and political system are the same set of red plagues that are endlessly harmful, if they are not wiped out, I am afraid they will resurface! By then, it will be too late for us to regret it!"

Although Shang Zhen didn't take Hitler's theory seriously, he had to follow Hitler's thinking: "Your Excellency, I admit that your consideration is correct. Don't worry, General Jiang Weiguo's strategy against the Soviet Union is exactly the same as yours. , are all unswervingly intending to eradicate them and drive them all to extinction, but we can slow down a little bit, anyway, the final result will not change!"

"Oh?" Hitler's gray-blue eyes flashed with interest.

It was already late spring and early summer of [-]. The warm wind was warm and the grass was growing. According to the original plan, the Allied Powers were about to resume their war against the Soviet Union. However, the Nanjing Army was temporarily unable to fight again, and the German Army had The preparations were sufficient, so there were disagreements among the top German army. Some generals believed that "the German army should take a break. When the Nanjing army resumes its ability to fight again, the German and Chinese troops will attack together and will succeed in one fell swoop." There is no need to wait for the Nanjing Army. The Soviet Army was severely injured in the winter battle, and it has been completely sluggish. It is a good time to take the opportunity to completely solve it. Even if the Nanjing Army cannot participate in the war, the German Army alone is enough to destroy the Soviet Union. If the German Army waits for the Nanjing Army, The Soviet army also gained time to breathe, and by then there will be more nights and dreams.”

In the German High Command, the generals who held their own opinions had a heated debate. Originally, Hitler, who had the final decision-making power, was more inclined to "the German army will go it alone and go to war immediately", but in the end, Hitler decided to "wait a moment, wait for Nanjing The army regained its combat strength."

Hitler decided to "wait for a while" based on two considerations. One is to respect the feelings of the Chinese allies. The Nanjing Army had just ended the war with the Soviet Army and exhausted the last vitality of the Soviet Army. Picking peaches and taking advantage?It will definitely make the high-level Chinese side have opinions; the second reason is to "slow down" and leave some time for dealing with the Soviet Union's begging for peace.

However, Hitler did not order the German army to cease fighting across the board. He ordered the German army on the Stalingrad battlefield to continue to attack, with the goal of capturing the city. The Soviet authorities and Stalin himself forced the Soviet Union to come up with more things in order to beg for peace, and thirdly to humiliate Stalin. After all, Stalingrad was named after Stalin himself.

Japan, Italy, Britain, France and other countries are not very clear about the Soviet Union's begging for peace with China and Germany. Those who know this matter most are the Soviet Union itself, China and Germany, and the United States as the "host".

The Soviet Union begged for peace with China and Germany at the same time, so China and Germany have come up with their own conditions.

Hitler's attitude was tough, so tough that he was almost arrogant. He was not very interested in the loss of money and property from the Soviet Union.

In the begging peace, the Soviet Union was willing to "cede to Germany all the areas north of Leningrad, west of Moscow, and south of Stalingrad that belonged to the Soviet Union", but not including the three cities of Leningrad, Moscow, and Stalingrad themselves. Hitler demanded that the Soviet Union must cede the above three cities, the reserved territory of the Soviet Union should be further shrunk, and the national borders should continue to retreat. Stalin planned to cede half of the Soviet Union’s 500 million square kilometers of Eastern European territory to Hitler, but Hitler wanted more, and, Hitler very shrewdly asked the Soviet Union to cede Arkhangelsk and Novaya Zemlya.

As we all know, although the Soviet Union has a vast territory, it is extremely short of sea outlets. The Soviet Union’s sea outlets in the northern part of Eastern Europe are mainly Murmansk and Arkhangelsk. Murmansk is north of Leningrad. The Soviet Union was ceded to Germany, so there was only Arkhangelsk left in the Soviet Union, but Hitler mercilessly ceded the last port of the Soviet Union. In this way, the future Soviet Union will completely become a "landlocked country" in the eastern part of Eastern Europe , although there are hundreds of kilometers of coastline leading to the Arctic Ocean in the north, there is no usable port, and Hitler asked the Soviet Union to cede Novaya Zemlya, obviously to build a large sea base in the northern part of the Soviet Union. Keep an airy eye on what little remains of the Soviet Union's coastline.

If this is the case, although the Soviet Union will continue to exist, it will be completely defended, monitored, and controlled by Germany, cutting off all external channels. It will be a "state of China" within the territory of the "Greater German Empire", just like the Vatican in Italy.

Needless to say, Stalin found it difficult to accept Hitler's new conditions.

Jiang Weiguo's request to the Soviet Union was not as tyrannical as Hitler's. Anyway, what he wanted, Stalin had already given in the begging conditions: if the Soviet Union succeeds in begging for a peace, China can send people into the remaining territory of the Soviet Union to receive industrial equipment (according to the principle , the industrial equipment of the Soviet Union was divided between China and Germany, Germany did not need it too much, and valued the industrial equipment of the Soviet Union too much, Hitler would generously give away most of the industrial equipment of the Soviet Union to Jiang Weiguo), in addition, Jiang Weiguo would still be in the territory of the Soviet Union Recruit hundreds of thousands of scientists, engineers, skilled workers, etc., to enrich the technical level of China's scientific research industry.

Of course, Jiang Weiguo will not be polite about money, resources, and materials.

Therefore, the biggest contradiction in the Soviet Union's begging for peace was still Hitler, and the conditions between Hitler and Stalin were too different.

Diplomatic officials and senior envoys from the Soviet Union, Germany, China, and the United States held intense talks in Berlin, Beiping, and Washington.

At the same time, the Allied Powers did not give the Soviet Union time to breathe. Although the Nanjing Army died down, the German Army continued to fight hard, using military pressure to overwhelm the Soviet authorities, and avoided the Soviet Union's strategy of delaying troops.

During this period of fighting and talking, Hitler and Jiang Weiguo frequently exchanged telegrams and exchanged opinions. One of them, Hitler asked Jiang Weiguo this way:

"Mr. Jiang, do you think we need to add a clause of 'Stalin must step down and be handed over to us as a war criminal by the new Soviet government' in the Soviet Union's begging conditions?"

"Your Excellency, why do you have this plan?"

"Although Stalin is bad, rough and stupid, he does have a strong fist. I don't want him to become the 'Hitler of the Soviet Union'!"

"I understand what you mean, Your Excellency the Führer.

The Soviet Union after the successful begging and peace is simply a replica of Germany after losing the First World War and being forced to sign the Treaty of Versailles 23 years ago. However, after 23 years of hard work and bloody struggle, Germany finally rose again. The Soviet Union, like Germany, endured the hardships and endured the courage and courage after knowing its shame, and we are going to have a big problem.

However, please forgive me, Your Excellency, you are overthinking.

The Soviet Union is not Germany, and Stalin is not you, there are essential differences.

In addition, we will not conclude a permanent peace treaty with the Soviet Union, we will not give Stalin much time, and it is more beneficial for us to keep Stalin now than to get rid of him or overthrow him!"

"how you said that?"

"Stalin was violent, murderous, self-willed, ruthless, suspicious, and greedy for power. He climbed to the position of Lenin's successor not because he was expected by everyone, but because he was the most vicious. Originally, his perverse behavior had already caused many Soviets to criticize him. He hated him deeply, and the disastrous defeat of this war and the unprecedented land cession and indemnity further made him unpopular. Therefore, Stalin's position was already on the verge of collapse, and a large number of high-ranking Soviet Union officials were obsessed with him. Stalin was originally a person who was extremely greedy for power. He would not give up the power in his hands. Second, Stalin had no way to retreat at this time. Once he stepped down, he would die without a place to bury him. Consolidating his power even more intensified, frenzied, and unscrupulous will definitely set off another big cleansing and bloody storm in the Soviet Union.

Your Excellency the Head of State, isn't it our good thing that we deliberately keep such a tyrant to continue to poison the Soviet Union? "

"It's really clever! Mr. Jiang, you are very correct! Yes, we will wait and see! I believe that our comrade Stalin will become the best source of trouble for us to plant in the Soviet Union!"

After Jiang Weiguo persuaded Hitler, this major event was much easier to handle.

After more than 20 days of verbal wars, the Soviet Union, Germany, and China finally, under the mediation of the United States and repeated political mediation, formally confirmed the "Armistice Peace Treaty between the Allied Powers and the Soviet Union" in Washington, the capital of the United States, and participated in the negotiations on behalf of China. It was Gu Weijun.

The content of this agreement is very complicated, the main payments are as follows:

First, the Soviet Union permanently ceded the entire territory of North Asia and Central Asia to China, and the new dividing line between the two countries will be based on the Ural Mountains and the Ural River (in fact, the Ural River will not become the Sino-Soviet territory after the peace treaty is signed. Instead, it becomes the Sino-German national boundary, because to the east of the Ural River is the territory of Kazakhstan, and to the west is the new territory of Germany);

Second, the Soviet Union permanently ceded to Germany all the territory west of the main flow of the Volga River in Eastern Europe, including the three cities of Leningrad, Moscow, and Stalingrad and their surrounding areas.

According to this paragraph, the final territory of the Soviet Union can only be kept east of the main flow of the Volga River and west of the Ural Mountains, and the southern and northern parts of the "east of the river, west of the mountains" area have also been ceded. The final territory of the Soviet Union is only about 170 million people. square kilometers, which is about 7.7% of the Soviet Union’s largest territory. Le later renamed it "Wilhelmgrad" (to commemorate the last emperor of the German Empire, William II), and after occupying Moscow, renamed it "East Berlin" (Jiang Weiguo was unable to complain after learning about this, he admired Hitler's creativity, In fact, there was indeed an "East Berlin" in the original history, which was the eastern part of Berlin after being separated by the Berlin Wall. Hitler renamed Moscow "East Berlin", which originally meant "Eastern Berlin in Germany's new territory in the East." ", but it has a very interesting coincidence meaning); it is worth mentioning that Stalin was extremely unwilling to cede the three cities of Lemos, and Hitler was more interested in the port of Arkhangelsk. In the end, under the mediation of Roosevelt , Hitler allowed the Soviet Union to retain the port of Arkhangelsk (Roosevelt’s reason was: after the armistice, hundreds of millions of Soviet people would suffer from hunger, cold, and lack of medical care because of the war, and the Soviet government was obviously unable to feed its Citizens, Germany is definitely not interested in laboring people and money for it. Neutral countries such as the United States are willing to extend a helping hand to the Soviet Union and provide humanitarian assistance. In exchange, Stalin gave up the three cities of Lemos.

According to this amount, the new territory of the Soviet Union after the peace begging was completely curled up in the north-north of Eastern Europe, and the east, west, and south sides were all the territories of the Allies. Arkhangelsk Port is the only external port for sea transportation;

Third, the Soviet Union’s war reparations to China and Germany (omitted);

Fourth, the mining privileges of China and Germany in the new territory of the Soviet Union (omitted);

Fifth, Soviet compensation in kind to China and Germany.

Jiang Weiguo was most interested in the fifth paragraph. According to this paragraph, the Soviet Union demolished most of the heavy industry facilities, most of the military industry facilities, and more than half of the light industry facilities, and retained a few heavy industries, military industries, and some light industries used to maintain the livelihood of the people. It is conservatively estimated that the total value of the above industrial equipment exceeds 100 billion US dollars.

As for the distribution of this batch of wealth, Japan, Italy and other member states of the alliance naturally basically cannot get it, and it is completely controlled by China and Germany.

After negotiations, Hitler agreed to let China get three-quarters and Germany only take one-fourth. However, Germany has the priority to obtain some special and cutting-edge Soviet industrial equipment.

In addition, according to the eighth article of the peace treaty, the Soviet Union will be subject to strict military restrictions in the future. The main measures are:

First, the Soviet Union abolished its navy and air force, and was not allowed to own any warships, civilian ships with a displacement of more than [-] tons, submersibles, and aircraft. All existing warships and aircraft were transferred to the Allied Powers as war compensation (of course, China and Germany were still in control. );

Second, the number of the Soviet Army was limited to less than 50, and tanks and large-caliber artillery were not allowed;

Third, the Soviet Army (Soviet Army) shall not develop, produce, or store biological and chemical weapons;

Fourth, the Soviet Army abolished conscription; and so on.

In addition, according to the No.12 clause of the peace treaty, the Allied Powers renounced the responsibility of pursuing the high-level Soviet personnel for the war. In other words, Hitler and Jiang Weiguo had no interest in sending Stalin to the trial or guillotine.

The end of the peace treaty was solemnly stated: the peace treaty will last for ten years.

The meaning of this paragraph is: the Allied Powers promise not to attack the Soviet Union within ten years, but they will not guarantee it after ten years.

In the headquarters of the Nanjing Army in Beiping, Jiang Weiguo and several senior officials of the Nanjing Army looked at the telegram sent by Gu Weijun from Washington, feeling deeply moved.
