In his office, Molotov looked out the window at the quiet and peaceful sunshine and put down the pen in his hand to correct the documents.

He looked at the man sitting in front of him and whispered, "The Germans won't retreat easily, believe me." ”

"I knew there would be such a day when I signed the Soviet-German Non-Aggression Pact, but I thought that we were the aggressors." Molotov sighed.

At that time, both sides had to buy time for themselves, so a treaty in which the Soviet Union and Germany were not hostile to each other was needed by both sides.

Moreover, the Soviet Union had a glorious tradition of unilaterally tearing up treaties, which allowed the Soviet Union, as well as its predecessor, Tsarist Russia, to take advantage of its neighbors for many years.

According to statistics, there is not the slightest element of slander - the USSR was the country that unilaterally tore up the most treaties, not one......

Therefore, at the moment of signing the Soviet-German Non-Aggression Pact, the Soviet top did not regard it as a bondage.

"The common saying in Europe is that we tore up the Soviet-German Non-Aggression Pact, but we know for ourselves that it was just a fateful coincidence." The man sitting across from Molotov spoke.

His name was Malenkov, that is, the man who succeeded Stalin after Stalin's death.

It's just that in real history, this Comrade Malenkov was ousted by Khrushchev after Stalin's death for only a short period of time.

However, although this man was incompetent, his status was indeed very high, and even after Khrushchev ousted him, he did not kill him, but demoted him to a power plant as a director......

Malenkov is now presiding over the work in Chelyabinsk, a high-ranking official trusted by Comrade Stalin, who is now thinking about things that Stalin insisted on.

Molotov was a diplomat, and the only solution he could think of was to get Germany out of the way through diplomacy.

In his view, the matter was actually very easy to solve, as long as a new agreement with Germany was submitted, acknowledging defeat and ceding part of the territory to Germany, a temporary peace could be achieved.

As for whether to go to war in the future, or whether to fight back or not, that's all something that everyone has to consider later.

Anyway, the cession of territory was not the first time for the Soviet Union, and there was no psychological pressure.

While Comrade Lenin was still there, he agreed to the conditions for the cession of Ukraine and other regions to Germany. Although Germany later gave up these territories, it is true that the Soviet government gave up its rights.

It is precisely because of this premise that Molotov felt that the current situation was time to make peace with the Germans.

It is a pity that Stalin did not allow defeat and did not intend to make peace with the Germans. He wanted to continue the war until the Soviet Union won.

However, whether the victory will belong to the USSR or not, no one has a conclusion in their hearts. What if victory belonged to Germany? What to do then?

It was also because of this that Malenkov found Molotov, and he did not know whether Germany would win the war, so his heart was full of worries.

"I know we're preparing to attack, but why did our attack fail? This at least shows that the Germans were also preparing to attack......" Malenkov said bitterly.

It's too late to say anything, and it doesn't matter who is right or who is wrong. Anyway, European public opinion generally believes that it was the Soviets who treacherously invaded Germany first.

Moreover, once Germany won the war, it was even less important who fired the first shot.

"The best option for us at this moment is to hand over a peace treaty with the Germans." Molotov thought for a moment and said his advice.

Hearing Molotov's words, Malenkov was silent for a while, and then he spoke: "Now, it is not the same as Comrade Lenin was back then. ”

It's really different, because at that time there were some other ceded places in Ukraine, and the attitude was completely different from now!

At that time, people in Ukraine and other places were looking forward to the liberation of the Soviet Red Army, so they were not on the same mind as Germany at all.

Lenin dared to cede these regions at that time, and saw the turmoil and resistance in these regions. Sooner or later they will return to the bosom of the Soviet Union, and this is how Lenin had the impudence to cede the territory.

And after the devastation of the Stalin era, the people of Belarus, Ukraine and other regions have developed hatred for ethnic Russians.

Nowadays, Belarus is simply a pot of rice to welcome the German army, and the situation in Ukraine is even worse, and the Ukrainians, who are eager to be liberated by Germany, are now a little uncontrollable.

In this case, once Ukraine and Belarus are ceded to Germany, it is basically equivalent to saying that they cannot get it back.

As soon as Ukraine and Belarus became the territory of Germany, then the USSR would be almost completely finished......

The Soviet Union, which had lost its buffer zone, would not have had a wide depth, and if it did not take the initiative to attack in the next war, the enemy would have taken down Moscow, which was close at hand.

By that time, the situation will be even worse than it is now, the enemy will capture Moscow, and then continue to advance eastward, soon hitting the Ural region.

What's worse is ...... Germany no longer wants to annex not only Ukraine but also Belarus, they have already occupied Leningrad, and a large area of occupation under their feet is already Russian territory.

At this time, if the Germans are asked to negotiate and withdraw from Smolensk and Leningrad in exchange for a peace that I don't know how long it will last, will the Germans agree?

Molotov shook his head wistfully and said: "The Germans will not return Leningrad...... The best result of the negotiations would be for the Germans to return to Smolensk. ”

"Not only will Stalin not agree, but I will not agree to such peace conditions." Malenkov shook his head and said with difficulty: "Besides, we are not even qualified to negotiate now, and Comrade Stalin will not agree." ”

"Comrade Stalin is surrounded by petty people who should give our leaders better advice, more practical advice!" Molotov complained.

"Of course, Beria is to blame for these failures." When it came to this incident, Malenkov also had a look of disdain.

In their opinion, if it weren't for the fact that the people around Stalin were too rubbish, they would not have lost a war so ugly at all.
