Chapter 47: An Invitation from Moscow

Seeing that the two old handsomes looked at him with a strange expression, Yang Zhen didn't explain anything. As far as he is concerned, the most important thing is how to ensure that the military quality of the troops, especially commanders at all levels, can conform to the current equipment and combat mode. Taking the enemy as a teacher is not too embarrassing for him.

Just when the two old men who got the answer that they had been puzzled by saw that the hands on the Swiss watch given by Yang Zhen on their wrists had pointed to two o'clock in the middle of the night, they were ready to leave. But he didn't want Yang Zhen to wave his hand and said, "Don't worry, two old leaders, I estimate that Ryabesev is estimated to be back soon." โ€

"Now that it's this time, we might as well wait for a while, and save the toss back and forth. As long as we can sign the agreement today, we will all be able to sleep well. I estimate that at three o'clock at most, the lieutenant general, who was frightened by the old man in Moscow, will return to us. โ€

I'm afraid he's been scolded again, but he doesn't dare to delay any longer. For him, it doesn't matter if the time is not very appropriate. What worries him most is whether he will go to court-martials when he returns to Moscow. Let's stay up for a while, I won't be able to sleep when I go back at this time anyway. โ€

Before Yang Zhen's words fell, Yuan Zhiruo, who had been accompanying outside the conference room, walked in. Reporting to Yang Zhen, the Soviet delegation, which had just left, returned again and asked Yang Zhen to meet him immediately. Hearing Yuan Zhiruo's report, Yang Zhen stretched his neck with one end of his hand, and made a grimace to the two old handsomes.

After the Lieutenant General Ryabesev, whose face was extremely pale and his lips were a little purple, walked into the conference room. Compared with him, who was a little nervous, Yang Zhen smiled and said: "Comrade Ryabesev, I really didn't expect us to meet again so soon, but how did you do it, you haven't seen each other for such a short time, how did it become like this." โ€

"Our Chinese medicine has a saying, called the heart is the main blood, and its splendor is in the face. Look at your face is not good, is there something wrong with your heart, why don't you let our doctor check it for you? You're young, and now is the time to make a difference. And the great Soviets, now it is an eventful time, and it is not a good thing that you have this disease. In case you have three long and two short, but the Soviets and the great Soviet Red Army suffer a heavy loss. โ€

Yang Zhen's ridiculous words, Li Yanping, who temporarily acted as a translator, were somewhat hesitant when translating. He is a lieutenant general, although he has just suffered a big defeat, but after all, he is a senior general of the Soviet army. You know that his face has become like this, it must be because he was scolded, and he asked knowingly. Even if you don't look down on people, you can't laugh like that.

The two old handsomes on the side showed a rare smile on the corner of their mouths. They really thought that Yang Zhen was a young man, but they didn't expect that the guy in front of him, who commanded hundreds of thousands of troops at a young age, also had such a narrow side. In such a strict matter, there is still a heart to joke.

However, Yang Zhen's joke also completely made the two old marshals completely let go of their hearts because of his previous chest pat guarantee that they would definitely solve the winter clothing problem before freezing. Although the contact time has not been long, both of them know that Yang Zhen is definitely not the kind of person who can't distinguish priorities.

At this time, he can make a little innocuous joke, which shows that he really has the bottom in his heart. With this, the hearts of the two old marshals who have been hanging in the past few days have been completely relaxed. As long as the problem of winter clothes can be completely solved before freezing, for the two old coaches, other things are still secondary.

In fact, neither Li Yanping nor the two old commanders are clear, although they already have a considerable grasp of the answer in their hearts. But it only took an hour for the matter to finally settle, and Yang Zhen was extremely nervous in his heart. After all, this is related to whether his plan for the future can be realized, and whether the Winter Clothing of the Anti-Japanese Federation and the Advance Army of hundreds of thousands of troops can be solved on time.

It is said that it is related to life and death and development, and it is not much different. In this cold North Manchuria, what future is there if there is no winter clothing and the troops are frozen? There is power in the barrel of the gun, and without the support of the barrel of the gun, there is nothing. What else do you want to talk about in the future? To say that Yang Zhen is really not nervous at all, is it possible that his psychology is so bottom-up?

Yang Zhen seems to be very relaxed on the surface these days, but in fact, he is really relieved. This time he took the opportunity to make a little joke, he also wanted to relieve his relaxed appearance, but his heart was quite nervous. At least let your tense nerves relax and don't get too tense before the dust settles on the problem.

At the same time, he has always warned himself in his heart, even if things are going according to his imagination and judgment. Then I can't relax the slightest bit about these difficult and greedy Soviets. The signing of this agreement does not mean that the problem will be solved once and for all. This is just the beginning, and the frequent friction in the future is still to come.

Compared with Yang Zhen, who pretends to be very relaxed on the surface, and everyone here. Ryabeschev on the other side was not in this mood and joked with him at this time. Perhaps for the first time as a negotiator, the lieutenant general has been nervous since he arrived in Harbin.

And before coming here again, it must have been a not very pleasant experience, which made his nerves tense very tight, and now he was even more nervous to the extreme. The lieutenant general opened his mouth and said directly: "Comrade Yang Zhen, after careful consideration, we have decided to accept all your opinions and demands. โ€

"We have now prepared the entire text as you requested. If you think you can, we can sign all the agreements now. In view of your immediate needs, the Soviet side decided to sign and fulfill this agreement as soon as possible. โ€

Marshal Shaposhnikov also repeatedly explained that if the Chinese comrades had other requirements. As long as it does not affect the current war of the Soviet people against the German army, I can completely call the shots, and Moscow will admit it afterwards. The Soviet government and people also stressed credibility. โ€

"In addition, Marshal Shaposhnikov, Chief of the General Staff of the Soviet Army, and General Yakovlev, Minister of General Ordnance, let me make a formal invitation to you on their behalf, and I hope that you will visit Moscow as you see fit. Or, if possible, meet in a region of the Soviet Union. This was also the opinion of the Deputy People's Commissar of Defense, Marshal Timoshenko. โ€

"And several of them, we are looking forward to your visit. They guarantee that you will be treated like a VIP on the territory of the USSR. They also ask you to be absolutely assured that every qiฤ“ operation you have in the territory of the USSR is safe and free. For this matter, Marshal Timoshenko and General Zhukov also sent a telegram from the front. โ€

"At the same time, Marshal Shaposhnikov asked me to convey to you the hope that this somewhat unpleasant incident will not happen again. If there is anything, we can negotiate and solve it. Any confrontation will not help solve the problem. The Soviet people and the Soviet Red Army, together with the Resistance League, should be the best and closest friends, and such unpleasant things should not happen. โ€

After listening to Lieutenant General Ryabesev's words, Yang Zhen did not answer him immediately. It was only after a long period of contemplation that it was proposed to establish a mechanism for the two militaries to consult with each other throughout the war, in accordance with the annual changes in the quantity and type of American aid and equipment. In order to adjust the material distribution plan according to their different needs.

At the same time, the Soviet side was required to put the promised equipment, drawings and technology, plus the required technical and engineering personnel, in place in the shortest possible time. If the Soviet side allows it, the Anti-Japanese Federation hopes that the Soviet Pacific Fleet can assist the Anti-United Nations and train a group of aviation units that can carry out long-distance bombing across the sea.

and provide two bases as they see fit to assist the Anti-United Nations in conducting long-distance sea-crossing flight training. Of course, this training base was selected by the Soviet side in the area where it considered suitable for them. In the selection of bases, the Anti-United Nations does not have any other requirements except for meeting the requirements of long-distance sea flights.

The Anti-Japanese Federation will also hand over the equipment promised to be transferred to the Soviet Union to the Far Eastern Military District in the shortest possible time. The Anti-Japanese Federation will also increase the supply of some equipment according to its own production capacity and to meet its own needs, if the Soviet side makes a request.

For Yang Zhen's additional requirements, this time Ryabesev was much more refreshing. I didn't think about it, so I nodded in agreement at the time. Both parties, who were in a hurry to solve the problem, did not change places, and drafted the text of the agreement on the spot. Li Yanping and Ryabishev, as representatives of both parties, completed all the formalities such as signing on the spot.

Compared to the previous slowness, the efficiency this time is amazing. From the time the Soviet delegation once again stepped into this room to the completion of all the formalities, the time added up was less than an hour. After completing the agreement, Yang Zhen did not leave Ryabesev, who was in a hurry to return, even without even a glass of water.

As for Marshal Shaposhnikov, as well as Admiral Yakovlev's invitation to Yang Zhen to visit Moscow. Yang Zhen didn't give any reply, as if he hadn't heard the invitation. Although Lieutenant General Ryabeschev repeatedly sent out invitations before leaving, Yang Zhen still did not give any reply.

In fact, Yang Zhen didn't believe that it would be the Marshal Shaposhnikov who sent the invitation this time, and he knew very well who the person who really invited him this time was. Although Marshal Shaposhnikov was outstandingly capable, he was the founder of the Soviet army's staff work and the one who laid the foundation for the Soviet army's staff work.

But in the face of the unusually strong old man in Moscow in Yang Zhen's mouth, his personality seems too soft. There are many things that he will not bring up in person, and can only take some roundabout ways to solve them. Even if he had the heart, he would not have made such a request at this time.

This invitation should have been made by the arbitrary old man in Moscow, but only from the lips of Marshal Shaposhnikov and Admiral Yakovlev. invited in person, either because I think Yang Zhen is not qualified enough, I am afraid that he is afraid that it will affect his reputation in the world.

As for Timoshenko and Zhukov, these two people have been overwhelmed by the almost uncontrollable situation at the front. Where now will there be time and energy to take care of the affairs of the Far East. In particular, the general Zhukov, who is now cleaning up the mess of the Western Front and making final preparations for the defense of Moscow, has no energy to care about these idle things.

Pulling these two is just trying to show sincerity. Despite the great sincerity of the Soviet side, at least on the surface. But how dare Yang Zhen go to the Soviet Union to visit Wรจn at this time, isn't he sent to the door as a hostage, or sent his neck to the knife of the Soviets? Not to mention that it was Shaposhnikov and Yakovlev who came forward, even if the fatherly leader really came forward in person, he would not go.
