In the office of Chairman of the People's Commissariat Molotov, the Council of People's Commissars in Moscow, the capital of Soviet Russia, a middle-aged man was roaring loudly, making the staff passing by the office look at the office in surprise. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the office, a somewhat balding middle-aged man was angry, and he almost pointed his finger at Molotov's nose and cursed. This scene, if seen by others, is absolutely unthinkable. After all, Molotov was the chairman of the Russian Appointments Commission, and now he was in charge of Soviet diplomacy, and was almost regarded as an important figure after Stalin. Even Stalin did not dare to speak to him like this. Of course, the balding middle-aged man has such qualifications.

This middle-aged man was the representative of the United States in Soviet Russia, and the two countries did not establish diplomatic relations, but the two sides had representatives of each other. Especially after dealing with the threat of the Chinese Empire, the two countries became closer and closer.

"Your Excellency, in the past period, the United States has provided Soviet Russia with a large amount of industrial equipment, including many of the world's most advanced industrial equipment, as well as a large amount of war materials and crude oil. However, the promises made to us by Soviet Russia have not been fulfilled for a long time. The United States of America has reason to suspect that Soviet Russia is trying to break its promise. The representative of the United States asked angrily.

The United States was beaten all over the ground by the Chinese Empire in the Pacific Ocean, and suffered extremely heavy losses. Even the mainland was attacked by the Chinese navy, which made the United States desperate for Soviet Russia to launch an attack on the Chinese Empire so that it could share the pressure of the United States. However, instead of doing this, Soviet Russia carved up Poland with the Germans, much to the chasm of the Americans.

"I'm sorry, on behalf of Your Excellency. Soviet Russia attaches great importance to its friendship with the United States, and we will never break our promise. It's just that some unexpected circumstances have forced us to change our plans temporarily. I can assure you that we will deliver on our promises. Molotov said with a smile. Although the American representative's questioning made him very unhappy, in order to get more aid from the United States, he could only suppress the anger in his heart and continue to deal with the American representative.

"Your Excellency, on behalf of the Government of the United States, I would like to place on record your country's notification. From today, there will be no more merchant ships and transports arriving in Soviet Russia. The United States will not provide Soviet Russia with a machine, a piece of steel or an ingot, a barrel of oil, or even a grain of grain. Unless Russia fulfills its promise to launch an attack on the Chinese Empire, our assistance will continue. Otherwise, our aid will be cut off completely. "The representative of the United States threatened.

The Americans completely lost patience with Soviet Russia, which had delayed and refused to take concrete action, and they simply shut down their aid to Soviet Russia, so that Soviet Russia could no longer receive machinery and equipment and war materials aided by the United States. And once the Americans cut off aid, it is conceivable what kind of impact it will have on Soviet Russia. Soviet Russia's war preparations and war potential will be dealt a devastating blow. It was almost impossible for Russia to win the war, or to withstand the attacks of the Chinese Empire and Germany.

"On behalf of Your Excellency, you cannot do this. If you insist on doing so, it will cause unimaginable damage to the relationship between the two countries. Molotov hurriedly said. If U.S. aid is cut off, the consequences will be much more serious. Therefore, no matter what, we must find a way to get the Americans to continue to supply Soviet Russia with those machinery and equipment and war materials. Only in this way will Soviet Russia become stronger and stronger.

"Your Excellency, I have made it very clear. If Russia fulfills its promises, then the assistance will continue. If Russia refuses, then we would rather equip our own army with that aid so that we can invest more in the Pacific. After the American representative finished speaking, he gave Molotov a self-conscious look and turned to leave Molotov's office.

"Damn, these arrogant Yankees have been beaten by the Chinese as if they were dead dogs, but they still dare to show off their might in front of us." Immediately after the departure of the American representative, Molotov cursed. However, there really was nothing that Soviet Russia could do about the threat of the Americans cutting off aid. In order to gain an advantage in future wars, Russia is trying to expand its army, expand its military production capacity, and produce more guns, tanks, and aircraft. A large part of these raw materials come from U.S. aid. If the United States were to cut off aid, the consequences would undoubtedly be very serious. If it is not done well, it will put Soviet Russia at a disadvantage in the war, or even lose the war directly.

"Someone, contact Comrade Stalin's secretary for me, ask Comrade Stalin if he is free, I have something important to report to him." Molotov commanded. Obviously, it was up to Stalin to take the initiative for such a big event. Whether it is the question of subsequent negotiations with the Americans, or whether to fulfill the promise to wage war against the Chinese Empire, these are all things that Stalin needs to decide.

Ten minutes later, Molotov drove to the Kremlin, where Stalin was already waiting for him in his office.

Immediately after arriving at Stalin's office, Molotov reported to Stalin the arrogance and threats of the Americans.

"Comrade Stalin, the Americans are so arrogant, they have suffered heavy losses from the Chinese, but they want to use us to attract Chinese firepower for them, they simply want to use us as cannon fodder, it is really hateful." Molotov said.

Stalin was also in the water, they had just carved up Poland with Germany, which made Stalin very satisfied, at least Germany's strategic depth was further strengthened. However, in the attack on Poland, the Soviet Russian army also exposed many loopholes. It was even beaten by the Polish army for a time with heavy losses. These are all the ills left over from the aftermath of the Great Purge. Many experienced officers were replaced, and the rest were submissive to Stalin, but with little military command. Therefore, although Stalin ensured his control of the army, the cost was that the combat effectiveness of the Soviet Russian army plummeted. Of course, in Stalin's view, such a price was well worth it. After all, he must first think about his own interests, as the supreme leader of Soviet Russia, if he is not able to control the army, once he is overthrown by the army, no matter how strong the combat effectiveness of the Soviet Russian army is, winning this war will not benefit him personally.

"Comrade Molotov, what do you think we should do now? Need to accept the blackmail of the Americans? Stalin asked.

"This ......, Comrade Stalin, if we want to continue to receive assistance from the Americans, I am afraid that we will have to go to war with Chinese, even if it is for show." Molotov said.

Stalin stood up and walked around the room, his pipe in his hand, and took a few puffs from time to time, as if this would make his thoughts a little clearer. Stalin was very angry that the Americans were persecuting them by cutting off aid. Of course, he also knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch, and the Americans would not be kind enough to provide so much aid to Soviet Russia for free. They were going to use this aid to get Soviet Russia to die for the Americans. But, as Molotov said, American assistance was very important for Soviet Russia. Although the industrial output value of Soviet Russia has become the largest in Europe, most of it is just primary processing without much added value. The technology content is not high. In many advanced fields, it cannot be compared with large countries such as the United States and China. Especially in the field of military industry, Soviet Russia lagged far behind the world's advanced level. The extremely equipment obtained from the Americans gave Soviet Russia hope for industrial upgrading. In addition, obtaining a large amount of resources from the United States can also allow Soviet Russia to further expand its armaments. Once the United States cut off aid, these development plans of Soviet Russia would be greatly affected.

For the Chinese Empire, Stalin was even more gritted his teeth. The last fiasco left many leaders of Soviet Russia still apprehensive. It can be said that if Soviet Russia did not defeat the Chinese Empire and recover the territories occupied by the Chinese Empire, they would not have become a world power. Coupled with Stalin's own dislike of the Chinese Empire, war between Soviet Russia and the Chinese Empire was equally inevitable.

"If we go to war against the Chinese Empire, are we sure of victory?" Stalin asked.

"Comrade Stalin, I don't know much about military matters. However, Soviet Russia is much stronger now than it was more than a decade ago. While the Chinese Empire is also developing, their main power has been dragged over the Pacific Ocean. Molotov said.

Stalin nodded, he also knew that the name of the world's most powerful country in the Chinese Empire was not called in vain. The Chinese Empire has the strongest industrial strength in the world and the most powerful army in the world, which are not comparable to Soviet Russia. If China and the Soviet Union went to war, Soviet Russia would definitely not have any chance of winning. Knowing very well, Stalin did not dare to move such a thought in his heart. He knew that once the war broke out, what awaited them would be another crushing defeat.

However, the situation is different now. The Chinese Empire invested a lot of power in the Pacific direction. What Soviet Russia had to face was not the entire military strength of the Chinese Empire, but only a part. In this case, Soviet Russia still has a great chance of winning. What's more, if you go to war with the Chinese Empire, you will be able to get more aid from the Americans and make Soviet Russia stronger. (To be continued.) )
