"Avoid getting caught up in a two-front war? How is this possible? Comrade Stalin, it is quite possible that Germany and the Chinese Empire have secretly entered into an alliance. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info It's like we agreed with the Americans. It is almost impossible to avoid fighting on two fronts. "said People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs Livinov.

Stalin glanced at Litvinov and said nothing. He also knows Litvinov very well. Litvinov was pro-Anglo-American and anti-German. He knew that Litvinov had already guessed what he meant. However, he deliberately misinterpreted Stalin's meaning, which made Stalin somewhat dissatisfied with this people's commissar for foreign affairs.

"Comrade Molotov, what do you think?" Stalin asked.

"Comrade Stalin, for the sake of our great revolutionary cause, it is very necessary to avoid the defeat of the Red Army on two fronts. So I think we should make some compromises for that. Molotov said. Compared to Litvinov, Molotov is undoubtedly much smarter. Knowing that Stalin's current position in Soviet Russia could not be shaken, then he would definitely not work against Stalin, but act as Stalin's echo worm. This is also the reason why Molotov was able to guarantee his position, and Litvinov has not yet mixed with the members of the political bureau.

"Comrade Molotov, you said very well, the necessary compromise is very necessary for the sake of our revolutionary cause. Now, the Chinese Empire is our main enemy. If we want to get more support from the Americans, we must make good on our promise to launch an attack on the Chinese Empire. However, the strength of the Chinese Empire, we know very well. Therefore, we can only avoid fighting on two fronts as much as possible. In such a situation, we would have to compromise with the Germans. Of course, the Germans are also our enemies, and we can completely turn around and deal with the Germans after defeating the Chinese. Only then will our revolutionary cause be victorious. Stalin said.

"But, Comrade Stalin, will the Germans accept our goodwill? Remember, they have always openly declared their opposition to Bolshevism. Litvinov did not give in, but continued to raise his objections. This also made Stalin even more dissatisfied with him.

"Comrade Litvinov, the revolutionary mentor taught us to look at problems dialectically. Although, now Germany is our enemy. However, it is not impossible for the enemy to compromise. As long as there are common interests, we can compromise for the time being. It is true that the Germans have always declared their opposition to the Bolshevik idea. However, this was nothing more than a cover used by the Germans to deceive Britain and France. They expanded everywhere under the guise of anti-Bolshevism. If we can come to some kind of agreement with them that we will not attack them, then he can go to war against England and France without any worries. In the same way, we can also go to war against the Chinese Empire without any worries. Stalin said.

"Comrade Stalin, this is a very good solution, it is very beneficial for us and for the Germans. I also think that the Germans will accept our kindness. "said the People's Commissar of Defense Voroshilov. Originally, he was still worried that the Russian Red Army would collapse in a two-front battle. But now, these problems seem to be easily solved.

"Well, if we don't have to worry about the Germans, then we can devote more troops to attack the Chinese Empire. Our chances of winning will be greatly increased as a result. Stalin said with satisfaction. Now the Russian Red Army has been completely controlled by him. Those disobedient generals have been purged by him. Now the leaders of the Red Army of Soviet Russia are almost his echo worms.

"If you don't have any objection to that, let's go ahead with this plan. For the sake of our revolutionary cause, we must succeed. Stalin said. Although, the People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs clearly disagreed. However, his opinion was ignored by Stalin. In addition, Stalin's dissatisfaction with Litvinov is also increasing, which will directly make Stalin think of removing Litvinov.

After the meeting, Stalin gave this task to Molotov, and not to People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs Litvinov.

The next day, Stalin issued an order to remove Litvinov from his post on the pretext that he could not perform his current duties. Actually, it was because Litvinov did not cooperate with him. Litvinov's position was temporarily held by Molotov.

No one in the Soviet leadership raised any objection to the name Stalin, and everyone acquiesced to this. No one wants to be the next to be purged. Over the past few years, enough people have been purged, and everyone has learned wisely.

Litvinov left the Russian Foreign Ministry in disgrace, and Molotov began to exercise his powers.

It was at this time that news came from the German side that German Foreign Minister Ribbentrop wanted to be able to make a secret visit to Moscow. This is undoubtedly good news for Soviet Russia. The Russian side agreed to Ribbentrop's visit to Soviet Russia as quickly as possible.

Three days later, Ribbentrop's transport plane landed at an air base outside Moscow, where Molotov personally greeted Ribbentrop.

Ribbentrop was a little puzzled, knowing that when he came to Soviet Russia before, it was Litvinov who was in charge of receiving him.

"What about Mr. Livinov? Mr. Molotov! Ribbentrop asked.

"Your Excellency the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Litvinov has gone to take charge of other affairs. For the time being, I will be in charge of foreign affairs. Molotov said with a smile.

Ribbentrop nodded, knowing that this was another power struggle within Soviet Russia, and that Litvinov had clearly lost Stalin's trust. However, this has nothing to do with Germany.

At a military base outside Moscow, Ribbentrop and Molotov began a negotiation.

"Your Excellency, the current international situation is very complicated, and war may break out at any time. Soviet Russia and Germany are both great powers in Europe. Although, on ********, our two countries have differences. However, we have to admit that our two countries have also carried out close cooperation for a long time in the past. We hope that this close cooperation will continue. Ribbentrop said.

"Your Excellency the Foreign Minister, Soviet Russia also wants to maintain permanent peace with Germany." Molotov said with a smile.

Suddenly, smiles appeared on both of their faces. Although they all know that the so-called keeping of peace is nothing more than a lie. In fact, both men are well aware that the reason why both countries have avoided premature war as much as possible is simply because they do not want to get caught up in a two-front war. After the outbreak of war, Soviet Russia hoped to concentrate all its efforts on attacking the Chinese Empire and avenge its hatred. Germany also hoped to deal with Britain and France first after the outbreak of war. Therefore, even if the two countries are enemies, it would undoubtedly be best if they could not invade each other after the outbreak of war.

"Your Excellency, it seems that there is a great consensus between our two countries. I am confident that under such circumstances, a genuine peace can be achieved between our two countries. Ribbentrop said. This trip to Soviet Russia was easier than he imagined, which made him very happy. In this way, he would easily be able to go back to Adolf Hitler.

"Yes, Your Excellency the Minister of Foreign Affairs." Molotov nodded.

The results of this meeting were soon reported to Stalin and Adolf Hitler, respectively.

When Stalin heard the results of the meeting, he was smiling, and he was glad that Soviet Russia could finally avoid fighting on two fronts. This led him to declare in his speech to other high-ranking members of Soviet Russia: "We have temporarily compromised with Germany so that we can win the war in the future and defeat our greatest enemy, the Chinese Empire, in one fell swoop." There can be no eternal peace between us and Germany. Now the compromise with the Germans, that is only temporary. Once we defeat the Chinese Empire, we will inevitably go to war against Germany. Because our goal is to liberate the world. A dictatorship like Germany is also something we need to defeat. ”

Similarly, Hitler assured his generals at the Führer's capital: "We are about to conclude a secret peace agreement with Soviet Russia, which will allow us to avoid being caught up in two fronts after the outbreak of war." Thus, we can not worry about going down the same path as the last world war and being defeated again. With the strength of Germany, it would be absolutely no problem to defeat Britain and France. After we settle the two countries of Britain and France, we can completely integrate the strength of the whole of Europe to deal with Soviet Russia. When the time comes, we will easily defeat Soviet Russia. After the unification of the whole of Europe, Germany will become the future world hegemon, and even our allies will not be able to stop us. ”

At the behest of Adolf Hitler and Stalin, German Foreign Minister Ribbentrop and Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars of Soviet Russia Molotov signed their names on the Soviet-German Non-Aggression Pact. The treaty stipulates: 1. The Contracting Parties undertake not to use force, aggression or attack against each other, either alone or in conjunction with other States. 2. If one of the Contracting Parties is at war with a third State, the other High Contracting Party shall not give any support to the third State. 3. The Contracting Parties shall in no way participate in any group of States which, directly or indirectly, oppose another State Party. 4. The Parties shall settle all disputes between the High Contracting Parties by peaceful means. 5. The treaty is valid for 10 years. 6. Secret Subsidiary Protocols. It stipulates that the two sides shall be demarcated by the northern borders of Lithuania in the Baltic Sea coastal region and the Narev, Vistula and San rivers in Poland. At the same time, Germany acquiesced to Soviet Russian interests in Bessarabia. (To be continued.) )
