110 The End of Qingping (11)
Li Runshi respected Comrade Stalin very much, and no matter how many people opposed Comrade Stalin in the Soviet Union or the Chinese People's Party, Li Runshi always believed that Comrade Stalin was a staunch communist and a great leader. Materialist historicism holds that each person can only work on the basis of the reality of his or her own existence. In this regard, Li Runshi even sympathized with Comrade Stalin, and the greatest servant of the People's Party was Chen Ke, who dedicated everything he had to the party and the people. Again, this dedication was rewarded, and the comrades of the People's Party really believed in the authority of Chen Ke. Comrade Stalin undoubtedly lacked such authority. In a sense, Comrade Stalin lacked the sense of security that the BJP possessed.
But no matter what Li Runshi thinks of Comrade Stalin, the strength of Comrade Stalin himself cannot be ignored. For example, when confronted by Li Runshi, Comrade Stalin showed sufficient recognition, and he bluntly asked whether China was going to war with Britain in the near future.
"Yes, we do. And we don't want anything to do with the German fascists. Li Runshi returned with the same bluntness. Comrade Stalin's spirit was as tough as steel, and any "tactful" move would only provoke the contempt of Comrade Stalin.
"So what do the Chinese comrades want us to do?" Comrade Stalin replied.
"Chairman Chen Ke hoped that the Soviet comrades would be able to negotiate with Britain and France and conclude a treaty of mutual assistance against aggression between Britain, France, and the Soviet Union, which would last for five to 10 years, including military assistance. The three countries guarantee the security of the countries of Central and Eastern Europe. Conclude specific agreements on mutual assistance among the three countries. Li Runshi said things about interfering in the internal affairs of the Soviet Union while lighting a cigarette for himself.
Uncle Iron Man smoked his pipe, quietly reflecting on Li Runshi's request. The Soviet translator racked his brains hoping that his translation would be error-free, and at the same time shocked and surprised. It is very rare that China's demands are so bold that Comrade Stalin did not react excessively.
After pondering for a while, Uncle Iron Man said: "The Chinese comrades believe that Britain and France will resolutely not agree to this request, right?" ”
Li Runshi replied clearly: "If they agree, it will not be any problem for us." Clarifying the conditions of the war was of great help to the victory of the war. ”
It can be heard from Uncle Tie Man's words that the Soviet side had such a plan before Li Runshi clearly put forward his demand. China's request came as a great surprise to Uncle Iron Man.
The BJP, for its part, did not believe that such an effort could succeed, and its policy of appeasement was to explicitly agree to Nazi Germany's freedom of movement in Eastern and South-Central Europe. After World War I, the Soviet Union lost a large amount of Russian land as a result of the Brestster Pact, and these secessed countries became a buffer zone between Germany and the Soviet Union. If Germany had acted freely in Southeastern Europe, it could only lead to tension in relations between Germany and the USSR. After all, a Germany that controlled a vast area of southeastern Europe was most likely to attack the Soviet Union.
Comrade Stalin seemed to be thinking very seriously, and he changed several pots of cigarettes in a row before making his own judgment. "What do Chinese comrades believe will be the result of the failure of such negotiations?"
"If the negotiations fail and Germany is determined to go to war against France, then Germany will propose a non-aggression pact to the Soviet Union." Li Runshi replied. This answer made Uncle Iron Man's expression nervous. Li Runshi didn't even need to look at it to see it very clearly, when Chen Ke, in the posture of a conspirator, proposed that Germany might first use the policy of appeasement to expand its influence in southeastern Europe, and after the expansion encountered resistance from Britain and France, it would turn to a non-aggression pact with the Soviet Union, and there was also a great deal of opinion within the People's Party. Many comrades did not believe Chen Ke's judgment, this is not because they did not believe that Hitler would not do this, but because they did not believe that British and French politicians were so stupid.
It also took a lot of effort for Li Runshi to understand Chen Ke's thoughts, China lost power and humiliated the country in modern times, but it was mainly the power of the Manchu Qing that was hit. Just like Chen Ke's evaluation of the Versailles Treaty, the eventual fascist coming to power in Germany was not the Hellsailles Treaty, but the Great Depression, an event that affected the entire capitalist countries of Europe and the United States, and the chronic disease that the capitalist system could not solve, allowed Germany to solve the immediate problems by force. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, China's population boom and productivity levels did not improve, and foreign invasions caused problems within China.
It is clear that ordinary Chinese people and most comrades within the People's Party cannot understand the feelings of Britain and France, two countries that have lost millions of lives in the First World War. Such a protracted war, which consumed countless lives, consumed the vitality of Britain and France. There are no benefits at all in such a war, and the warring parties are faced with a simple choice of victory or perdition. Who would be willing to go into such a war?
Britain's policy of appeasement was to avoid war as much as possible, and even to control it. For China, such a war is "exciting" and "exciting." It can even be "shameful". Chen Ke, a leader with the ability to wage war, did not think so, but most Chinese did not see the danger after victory. If the war is considered controllable, then victory is even more dangerous than defeat.
"The Chinese comrades wanted to start a war against Britain before Germany went to war with Britain and France, so he hoped that after the war Germany would take action against Britain and France. Is that what the Chinese comrades want? Uncle Iron Man asked.
"Yes." Li Runshi is not prepared to tell any lies to Uncle Iron Man, that is a meaningless thing.
The talks ended for the time being, and immediately after Uncle Iron Man sent Li Run-seok away, a high-level meeting of the Central Committee of the CPSU was convened to discuss China's strategic planning.
The Soviet comrades did not hate this plan, and it was a good thing whether China weakened the power of Britain and France, or Germany went to war with Britain and France. China's core demand to the Soviet Union is that the Soviet Union should not use excuses to countries that try to attack China. This does not even need to be emphasized by China, and it is absolutely impossible for the Soviet Union to do so. This was not because of how friendly the Soviet Union was to China, but because the Soviet Union would never allow the troops of other countries to set foot on Soviet territory.
As long as China is still standing behind the Soviet Union, China is willing to maintain friendly relations with the Soviet Union, and even is willing to provide comprehensive assistance to the Soviet Union at the critical juncture of the war, the Soviet Union will have the last support. Sometimes it's ridiculous to trust such a thing, and the reason the Soviet Union trusted China was because China seemed to have no interest in invading the Soviet Union.
The reason why the Soviet top brass believed that China had no ill will towards the Soviet Union was by no means that the people of the two countries lived and traded peacefully on the Sino-Soviet border, but that the Chinese army was far away from the border, and China did not have any large-scale military facilities against the Sino-Soviet border, which was transparent to the Soviet Union.
According to official data collected by the Soviet Union, the standard of living of the Chinese people was generally higher than that of the Soviet people. The Chinese population is far larger than that of the Soviet Union. In the past ten years, only a few young people will be willing to stay in the Soviet Union after the Chinese arrive in the Soviet Union, and even if they marry a Soviet wife, the Chinese will choose to return to China with a Soviet wife after earning money. According to the intelligence collected by the Soviet side, the reason why the Chinese refused to stay in the Soviet Union was "too cold!" "Not to mention the Chinese, even the Soviets who lived on the Sino-Soviet border, also preferred to live in China in the south. Russia's desire for warm territories is unimaginable, so they can imagine the reason why China does not covet enough territory in the tundra, since China has Britain further south to attack.
There was not much discussion, but the Central Committee of the CPSU after the purge maintained a high degree of unanimity, and Uncle Iron Man asked the comrades to discuss the problem, and the comrades only discussed specific issues. Everyone is smart, and judging by the information from all sides, China has proven that they are ready to go south. Moreover, the BJP was very sober at this time, and they refused to risk going south with the whole world alone. The cadres of the Politburo of the CPSU discovered that China wanted to use Germany, and the only question was whether Germany would in turn bite Britain and France, which adopted a policy of appeasement.
"If China and Germany go to war with Britain one after the other, we will be in a very good position." Comrade Dzerzhinsky, a veteran of the CPSU, expressed his opinion, which is also the opinion of all the people of the CPSU. There's nothing easier than sitting on a mountain and watching a tiger fight, and there's nothing more rewarding than sitting on a mountain and watching a tiger fight. China's demands were abrupt but not excessive, and the Soviet Union could or could choose not to. The CPSU had full decision-making power, and even if it rejected the request of the People's Party, the CPSU would have nothing to lose. Not to mention that even if the People's Party does not make this request, the CPSU is already ready to do so.
Of course, Uncle Iron Man understands the benefits of this, and no matter how he calculates it, the result is nothing more than a Soviet-German war. Germany was forced to be miserable by France, and even if its economy seemed to be recovering well, its national strength was still very weak. Uncle Iron Man sincerely hoped that Germany and Britain and France would have another tragic war, and that the war would be as bloody as it was in World War I, and that when the blood of both sides would be flowing, the Soviet Union's millions of troops would be able to wave their troops south, all the way to Western Europe, and complete the great cause of liberating Europe.
Even if France could not be defeated, Germany could be eaten, Central and Eastern Europe could be entered, and the European lands lost by the Soviet Union during World War I could be completely victorious.
The problem is that China's request made Uncle Iron Man feel one thing very clearly, and the strategic judgment of the Chinese side has also reached this point, and China seems to have a further judgment of strategy. It's like a good chess player who has seen three moves away, but he feels that the person next to him clearly sees five moves away, and this feeling is very uncomfortable. Very, very uncomfortable.
The meeting finally approved the negotiations between the Soviet Union and Britain and France, and not only agreed, but the Soviet Union immediately sent diplomatic representatives to do it. Even after the Munich incident in Czechoslovakia, the Soviet Union had a very unpleasant quarrel with Britain and France, and the Soviet Union did it. At the same time, the Soviet Union began to test Li Runshi in every possible way, trying to extract China's strategic deployment from Li Runshi.
Li Runshi is a person who attaches great importance to yang conspiracy, and he firmly believes that any conspiracy and trickery will fail when it comes to yang conspiracy. Materialists have always believed in facts, and this is especially true of the BJP. Just as the BJP only cares about the U.S. attitude toward the Western Pacific, this is an important variable in determining China's strategy. As for Germany, China has estimated that the German economy has completely entered a state of war by summarizing the economic data of Germany, as well as the economic decrees of the government.
This approach of the Soviet comrades made Li Runshi feel a little speechless. Because China has already said everything that can be said to the USSR. It was not even possible to tell the Soviet comrades about the detailed military deployment of China. Uncle Tieren's shrewdness made Li Runshi feel very good, and the performance of the Soviet comrades' petty family made Li Runshi a little disappointed.
At the same time as sending Li Run-seok to the Soviet Union, secret emissaries from China also arrived in Berlin. Mustache is interested in the arrival of the Chinese envoy, and of course he is ready for war, but Mustache still has his own concerns before the war. China stands behind the Soviet Union, which means that the Soviet Union may receive millions of reinforcements at any time. With military cooperation with China for so long, the German military knows China's strength better than other countries in Europe and the United States, and it is definitely not an army that can be ignored. Therefore, the mustache made ample preparations for the arrival of the Chinese envoy.
It's just that as the head of Germany, the mustache himself is an idle person. With a little time to wait, the mustache began to approve the documents. The Nuremberg Race Act, issued in 1935, had a "loophole" in that it had an annex to a concession that allowed half-Jewish and one-quarter Jewish Germans to submit applications for concessions.
In the second half of 1938, Hitler instructed Air Marshal Goering to draw up a document prohibiting the relocation of families whose fathers were Jewish and Aryan mothers to the ghetto and that their children could join the army. In other words, as long as you are not a pure-blooded Jewish family of usurers, but a working class, a German citizen can apply to renounce from Jewish origin and become an honorary Aryan. In particular, those military families could continue to serve as long as they were authorized by Hitler. Military personnel who Hitler allowed intermarriage between Jews of a quarter of their descent could continue to serve. But they were not allowed to be promoted, except with the permission of Hitler himself. So a lot of applications went to the mustache.
For the mustache, racial superiority is an unshakable concept, and exclusion is a policy that must be adopted, but in practice it is a different matter. As in 1938, the mustache himself said to his adjutant, "No matter what contemporaries may say, there were many heroic Jewish soldiers and Jewish officers in the First World War." That's why we can give them a charter because children can't choose their parents. "The mustache did personally review the concession applications of thousands of ordinary soldiers, and perhaps a sense of sympathy for them led him to grant concessions to a considerable number of them.
Perhaps because he had to make contact with the Chinese side, the mustache was a little restless, and it was difficult to concentrate when he read the documents. The mustache certainly thinks that the Aryans are the best race, but that doesn't mean he looks down on the Anglo61 Saxons. And the Chinese are a difficult object for the mustache to determine.
This is a country that has lasted for thousands of years of civilization, and the mustache hates Marxism, so he naturally does not agree with the materialist view of history, since he refuses to agree with seeking truth from facts, then the mustache has a "mystic view" in the face of history, for example, the mustache believes that China's Tibet is the center of the world. China, which has the center of the world, also has the power to influence the world, which makes it difficult for the mustache to come up with a view of China. Are the Chinese better than the Aryans? If the Aryans are not good, then how much worse are the Chinese than the Aryans? These nonsense "mystical views" sometimes often cause a lot of confusion to the mustache. After all, everyone wants to know the world, and even if they can't make the rules of the world, they must at least understand the rules of the world.
It wasn't until the Chinese envoy arrived at Mustache's official residence that the question still didn't make Mustache clear. Looking at the thick stack of applications to become Aryans, the mustache let out a rare sigh and signed the order "pass" on the few documents that he had already held in his hand.
The ostensible purpose of the Chinese envoy's visit to Germany was to discuss the submarine issue with Germany. China's forcible excavation of the Kra Canal sparked fierce opposition from the British, who simply began to make it difficult for Chinese merchant ships in the Indian Ocean. Frequently intercepting Chinese merchant ships and requiring them to be inspected on board are endless.
China has already delivered to Germany more than 20 main components of submarines, including drawings for submarines. However, in the face of increasing harassment by the British, the Chinese side feared that it would not be able to effectively deliver all the submarine components to Germany.
As a smart man, the mustache did not believe that the Chinese side would make a special trip to Germany for such a trivial matter. Just by thinking about it briefly, the mustache could probably guess that the real idea of the Chinese envoy was probably to test Germany's attitude towards Britain.
There is no better way for China to strike Britain in the Pacific than for Germany to do it against Britain in Europe. At that time, the whole power of Britain was concentrated in Europe, and the whole Pacific Ocean became almost undefended. Of course, the best way for Germany is for China to smash Britain in the Pacific, so that the British Royal Fleet can be transferred to the Pacific and annihilated. At that time, Germany's strategic shape will change dramatically. Britain without a fleet is nothing.
Since the Chinese side is so seriously testing Germany's attitude, the mustache wants to test China's bottom line first.
For the Chinese envoy, the purpose of the trip was very simple, he just wanted to confirm the attitude of the mustache. In China, the People's Party had democratic centralism, and in the Soviet Union, there was a Politburo. In Germany, the mustache is a real "dictator", not because of how much the mustache himself loves dictatorship, but because there are very few people who really follow the mustache. Naturally, these German generals were shouting for revenge, but few of them really had the courage to fight a war like World War I. For the sake of war, the mustache first had to fight against these generals before facing the enemy.
So as long as the mustache's position can be determined, China can determine the future direction of Germany. Juncker's gang of second-class goods are really unreliable.
