The advantage of the Soviet Russian army is undoubtedly that it has a large number of troops, and through the system of political commissars, the troops are not afraid of death in battle. However, the Soviet and Russian armies also had great shortcomings. First of all, the combat qualities of the soldiers are generally not high. After the end of the purge, many experienced officers were purged, and the combat effectiveness of the Soviet Russian army continued to decline. Secondly, the weapons equipped by the Soviet and Russian armies are generally not as good as those of first-class military powers such as China and Germany, and the Soviet and Russian armies have suffered very much from aircraft, tanks, and even individual weapons. As a result, the Soviet and Russian armies are often at a disadvantage in war. Thirdly, in this time and space, there is not much left in the territory of Soviet Russia, and the fact that it is surrounded by strong enemies on both sides has greatly reduced the strategic space of Soviet Russia, and at the same time, it lacks sufficient resources.

To sum up, without the support of a strong enough external force, it is almost impossible for Soviet Russia to resist the attack of a strong enemy. Now that the Americans have taken the initiative to show goodwill, they have undoubtedly given Soviet Russia an opportunity to make up for these shortcomings. Once these shortcomings are made up, the combat effectiveness of Soviet Russia can be greatly enhanced. In the future war, Soviet Russia will have the possibility of victory.

Although, with the continuous progress of science and technology, weapons and equipment have also begun to be updated. Superiority in forces is no longer the single most important factor on the battlefield. However, it cannot be denied that the factor of strength is still very important on the battlefield. You don't see another time and space, the Führer's millions of troops attacked Soviet Russia, and the Soviet Russia fought in the early stage lost its troops and suffered heavy losses. However, Soviet Russia, with its huge strategic space and terrifying troops, stubbornly resisted Germany's attack, causing Germany to hit its head under the city of Moscow. Subsequently, in the large-scale battles again and again, the situation was gradually reversed. The main reason for this is that the number of troops in Soviet Russia is much larger than that of Germany. Even if two Russian soldiers were exchanged for one German soldier, Soviet Russia would make money. In addition, Germany was surrounded by enemies on all sides, and Soviet Russia, with the support of Britain and the United States, concentrated on fighting hard with Germany, and finally turned defeat into victory. Otherwise, perhaps the pattern of history would have been completely changed.

In this time and space, although Soviet Russia lost a large amount of territory, the population loss was not much. Coupled with a strong industry, if there is the support of the United States and the mobilization of 10 million troops, there will be no problem at all. In this way, Soviet Russia will not only be able to preserve itself, but may also be able to defeat strong enemies in the war, recover those lost territories, and allow Soviet Russia to take the opportunity to rise and become a powerful country.

On the morning of January 16, 4637, the merchant ship of the American envoy Hopkins arrived in Riga, a seaport city in western Soviet Russia. The People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs of Soviet Russia Litvinov has been waiting here for a long time.

"Your Excellency, Special Envoy, welcome to Soviet Russia." Litvinov's face was full of smiles. As the People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs of Soviet Russia, Litvinov has always been pro-British and American, and he believes that Soviet Russia should find ways to abandon contradictions with Britain and the United States and other countries and jointly deal with a strong enemy. In another time and space, he was also dismissed because he opposed the signing of the "Soviet-German Non-Aggression Pact" with Germany.

"Your Excellency, you are too polite." Hopkins smiled, despite the exhaustion on his face. However, he still tried to lift his spirits. For his trip to Europe, Soviet Russia was one of the most important destinations. If he can achieve the desired goal here in Soviet Russia, he will be worth it.

"Your Excellency, Comrade Stalin is waiting for you in Moscow, let's get on the train." Litvinov said enthusiastically.

So, Litvinov and Hopkins rushed to Moscow by train.

The next morning, the train arrived in Moscow. After getting off the train, Litvinov and Hopkins went straight to the Kremlin. Stalin, who had already received the news, was already waiting for Hopkins to arrive.

In the Kremlin, Stalin's office, Hopkins met with the man in power of the Red Empire.

"Your Excellency the Special Envoy, welcome to Soviet Russia, and I hope that this trip to Soviet Russia will make you have a pleasant memory." Stalin said with a smile. In his eyes, Hopkins has become the god of wealth in Soviet Russia.

"Hello, Your Excellency, President Roosevelt has asked me to convey my greetings to you." Hopkins said.

"Thank you, Your Excellency President Roosevelt, and please greet Your Excellency President Roosevelt on my behalf." Stalin said.

"Your Excellency, the current international situation is already very tense, and war is on the verge of breaking out. And both of our countries have a common enemy. Up to now, the Chinese Empire has occupied a large amount of territory in Soviet Russia. In addition, the Chinese Empire has always supported the Russian Empire and wants to replace Soviet Russia with the Russian Empire. This is undoubtedly a great threat to Soviet Russia. Hopkins said.

A flash of anger flashed in Stalin's eyes, the existence of the Russian Empire has become a countermeasure of speed. It is precisely because of the existence of the Russian Empire that those people in Soviet Russia have been unable to truly return to Soviet Russia. In particular, those in Belarus and Ukraine, because they were oppressed by Soviet Russia, have always thought that the Russian Empire could be restored. It can be said that Stalin never thought about destroying the Russian Empire and completely cutting off the thoughts of those people.

"Your Excellency, the Chinese Empire has been pressing on the Pacific Ocean step by step. For the United States, the threat to the Chinese empire is also very great. Stalin said with a smile.

"Yes, Your Excellency. Therefore, our country believes that the Chinese Empire is the greatest enemy of our two countries. We hope that our two countries can unite to confront the threat of the Chinese Empire. The emperors of the Chinese Empire had great ambitions, they wanted to rule the whole world. For the sake of our respective national interests, we must stop the Chinese. Hopkins said.

Stalin nodded, and then said: "Your Excellency, we have a common point of view on this issue. However, the Chinese Empire was too strong, and Soviet Russia was too weak. So, a lot of the time we are powerless. ”

Hopkins knew that this was what the Russians wanted to be. For the United States, as long as Soviet Russia can share the pressure of the Chinese empire for the United States and give them a little benefit, it should also be.

"Your Excellency, I have come this time with good intentions, and the US Government sincerely wants to work with Soviet Russia to deal with the Chinese Empire. Therefore, the United States can provide help to Soviet Russia to the best of its ability. Hopkins said.

A flash of joy flashed in Stalin's eyes, and it was this phrase from the Americans that he was waiting for.

"Your Excellency, Soviet Russia lacks funds for the mobilization of troops, and in addition, we are seriously short of equipment and raw materials for the development of the military industry, as well as crude oil. If the United States can help us in this regard, we will fight the Chinese Empire with all our might. Stalin assured.

Hopkins frowned, Soviet Russia's appetite seemed to be even greater than he imagined!

"Your Excellency, we can discuss these issues in detail." Hopkins said. The United States has come out of the economic crisis, and they are not short of money because of their deep pockets, and the resources that the Russians want are nothing to the United States. As long as Soviet Russia is willing to go to war with the Chinese Empire, then the United States can give them more support.

"Your Excellency, at present, Soviet Russia has an army of three million, and we plan to expand the size of the army to more than five million within this year. Once, a war broke out between the Chinese Empire and the United States, Soviet Russia would launch an attack on the Chinese Empire. Stalin assured.

Hopkins was quite satisfied with Stalin's promises. Even if the threat from the Germans to the west is deducted, the number of troops that Soviet Russia can devote to the attack on the Chinese Empire is more than three million. And the size of the Imperial Chinese Army is now only four million. Excluding other aspects, if we had to deal with the attack of Soviet Russia and at the same time launch a cross-Pacific offensive against the United States, we would not have invested too much military power. With the strength of the United States, after mobilization, it is no problem to resist the attack of the Chinese Empire.

Of course, this is also a double win for Soviet Russia. Relying on the support of the Americans, Russia could arm as many troops as possible and then launch a war of revenge against China. Once China is defeated, then the previous shame can be washed away. At the same time, they were able to destroy the great calamity of the Russian Empire. In one fell swoop, regain the lost territories seized by the Chinese Empire.

"Your Excellency, the United States regards Soviet Russia as an ally in the next war, and we will fully support Soviet Russia." Hopkins said. Helping Soviet Russia is, in fact, helping the United States itself. Without the containment of Soviet Russia, it was easier for the Chinese Empire to devote all its forces to an attack on the United States. Even if the United States mobilizes, it will be very difficult to resist the attack of the Chinese.

Hopkins' meeting with Stalin this time still made him very satisfied. Stalin, of course, would not be involved in specific negotiations, he would only need to set the general direction.

Over the next two days, Hopkins negotiated with senior officials in Soviet Russia. This time, the Russians were clearly planning to open their mouths and get a lot of money from the Americans. However, Hopkins is not a fool, and naturally the United States will not agree to whatever the Soviet Russians demand.

After some bargaining, on January 19, 4637 AD, Molotov, chairman of the People's Commissar of Soviet Russia, and Hopkins, the American envoy, signed their names on the "US-Soviet Secret Treaty", which represented that two countries with completely opposite ******** were originally hostile, and under the pressure of the Chinese Empire, they came together.
