997 Stalin was very worried about the current situation, because he didn't know what to do, the German offensive was very strong, and if he wanted to rely on the new troops behind, it was impossible to stop Germany, and the Soviet Union now had a tendency to fall into the country, and if the measures taken were improper, then the entire Soviet Union would really be finished.

"Go and call those generals from the General Staff Department, and the people from our Executive Yuan also call over!" Stalin stood there and spoke, smoking a small pipe in his hand.

The secretary next to him heard it and immediately went to inform him, while the field marshal continued to stand there.

"Now on the Far East side, our troops can still hold on, Japan has no way to take us now, and the Chinese side has already taken Mukden, right?" Stalin spoke suddenly.

"Yes, they have now taken Mukden, but I don't know why the Chinese troops did not continue to attack, what is going on!" The marshal spoke.

"Are they weak in the aftermath of the attack?" Stalin then asked.

"I don't know yet, but China still has the strength, and now the Chinese troops are already attacking the Japanese troops in Shanghai, and the Japanese troops in the northeast of China are now on the defensive, in fact, if the Chinese troops can defeat the Kwantung Army, it will be of great help to our Soviet Union.

Our 2 million troops in the Far East, no, now there are more than 1 million troops left, they can withdraw to our side, these are veterans who have participated in the war, I think, these troops, can also stabilize the situation on our side! The marshal spoke to Stalin.

"Can China win?" Stalin then asked, he generally did not pay much attention to the news from China, he did not look down on China at all, and he did not know what was going on in China.

"I don't know, but I know that the United States is looking for help from China, and it seems that it has achieved good results, because China has sold a lot of weapons to the United States and helped the United States stabilize the war situation.

If China is willing to sell us weapons, and those weapons can effectively block Germany, it will be extremely beneficial to us in the Soviet Union! The marshal spoke.

"Okay, when they come, let's talk about it!" Stalin spoke.

Although he was very unwilling in his heart, he did not want to ask for China, for him, it was a shame for the Soviet Union, but the current situation forced him to go to China.

If the Soviet Union really died, then he was the sinner of the country, so now he had to talk to those people about what he could do to save the Soviet Union.

Soon, those people arrived in Stalin's office, and they had just come over, and they didn't know what was going on, and they didn't dare to talk nonsense, because talking nonsense would kill people, and there were too many examples.

"Let's talk about what we in the Soviet Union should do, Germany will soon be able to push the infantry units to our front line, and the Far East, although it can withstand it now, but as the war continues, if our logistics can't keep up, it is estimated that that the other side will not be able to withstand it.

Someone just said that we should seek China's help, and the conditions put forward by China the day before yesterday, I think you all know it, what should we do, you all talk about it! Stalin sat there and spoke to the men.

When those people heard it, you look at me, I look at you, they didn't dare to speak, they saw the scene of Stalin's anger the day before yesterday, and what if they proposed it now, if Stalin was not satisfied, then what would they do.

"Commander-in-chief, I agree to give up the interests of the Far East and protect the greater interests of our Soviet Union, now our Soviet Union has reached a very critical moment, if we continue to hold on like this, without sufficient support, we may be defeated, and then the Soviet Union will no longer exist.

The lands we occupy are not our Soviets, if China can defeat Germany, then those lands in the Far East, sooner or later, will still be Chinese, and the Mongolian side will too, if we can't win, China will not get that land, I agree to exchange those lands for China's help! The field marshal before saw that no one was talking, so he spoke.

Now he doesn't say no, because he said before that if this thing doesn't work out, then his marshal will come to an end, rather than this, it is better to stick to the end, hoping that other people can support him.

"Well, does anyone have any other opinions, or can you support his opinions!" When Stalin heard this, he nodded, and felt a little reasonable in his heart, but he did not dare to make decisions about this matter easily, because it was an extremely dishonorable thing for him to hand over the land.

When they heard this, they all looked at each other, and they were not sure what Stalin meant.

Stalin's words were a bit ambiguous, so no one dared to answer, but those people all looked at the marshal who had just spoken.

"Why, we in the Soviet Union have reached this time, what else do you dare not say, do you have to wait until the German troops have captured Moscow and made our Soviet Union fall before you stand up and say it? Is it too late then? The marshal said with some annoyance when he saw that the others were silent.

At this time, he was still thinking about his own safety and not thinking about national affairs, which made this marshal feel very sad.

"Commander-in-chief, I agree with Marshal Voroshilov's opinion, now we must give up some of the small interests to ensure the continued existence of our Soviet Union, if we still insist on not asking for China's support, I think, our Soviet Union is very sad at this juncture!" Another marshal spoke.

His name was Budyonny, and Voroshilov, who had spoken before, were both marshals awarded in 1935, and now seeing that his old friends had said so, and that they were right, he stood up.

"Well, you agree with him and ask the Chinese side for help, will the Chinese side help? The day before yesterday we were going to buy weapons, but the Chinese side refused, and put forward such conditions, do you think they will help us? Stalin heard it, looked at Budyonny and asked.

"Yes, they need us to be at the forefront, because if we lose the Soviet Union, the next one will be China, and the United States can't count on it at all, they can't protect themselves now, and the only thing they can count on now is China.

Not to mention anything else, that is, being able to provide us with rifles, for us in the Soviet Union, it is a huge help, we don't have enough weapons now, if we continue to fight, in the back, our soldiers may have to take spears and fight against Germany's advanced weapons, so to fight is to die! Budyonny nodded firmly.

Stalin heard it and looked at the others.

"I don't agree with this, China can provide us with weapons, but we also have to pay for the supply of weapons, why give up those lands, those lands are ours in the Soviet Union, it's not fair!" When another member of the Executive Yuan heard this, he immediately disagreed.

"That is, when we buy weapons, it is not that we do not give money, and now they have put forward this request, which is to fall into the ground, and we resolutely cannot agree." Another person from the Executive Yuan also resolutely objected and said.

"Then you go to fight, without our soldiers on the front line, what is the use of those lands, now we need a lot of weapons, we need weapons and equipment, our recruit units, even rifles are not equipped, how do you let them fight on the front line?

What do they use to resist? Will this be able to defeat Germany? What is the use of those lands if Germany cannot be defeated? Voroshilov shouted at the men with great excitement.

"And between countries, it is originally a relationship of interests, and it is impossible for China to give up this opportunity, if they give up this opportunity, they are fools, and now they can threaten our Soviet Union, they will not threaten?

I'm not talking about betraying the country, but now it's no longer a traitor, we need weapons and equipment, and now most of our industry has been bombed by the German Air Force, and without weapons and equipment, how can we fight in the USSR? Voroshilov said excitedly.

When those generals heard this, they all nodded, now the Soviet Union has reached a very critical moment, and if there is not enough weapons and equipment, Moscow will definitely not be able to defend against it.

Now there are not only German troops attacking them, but also their Soviet troops that have surrendered to the German side, and now they are also attacking the Soviet troops that are still resisting, and the situation is very complicated.

"Calm down!" Stalin, seeing them arguing like this, said a little irritably.

When those people heard this, they didn't dare to fight any further.

"What other opinions, let's talk about it, don't fight for a while, we have to discuss, the Soviet Union is indeed at the most critical moment now, if we can't stop Germany from attacking Moscow, I think, we don't have to think about the rest of the matter." Stalin, seeing that those people were quiet, spoke.

"Commander-in-chief, I agree with the two marshals, now our troops are fighting very hard, the German offensive is too fierce, we did not expect this situation before." A general spoke.

"Yes, we need China's help!" The other generals all nodded.

At this time, the people in the Executive Yuan were divided into two factions, some of whom supported the return of the land, and some of whom still insisted that the land could not be exchanged.

For this reason, Stalin was also very difficult at this time, and he hoped that the people below would support the abandonment of the treaties signed with the Qing Dynasty and return those lands in exchange for the support of China, otherwise the Soviet Union would probably fall to the outside world.
