I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

Page 490

As the troops continued to attack, more and more Soviet troops surrendered, doubling and doubling and then doubling again. Sometimes the troops did not release a single shot, and tens of thousands of Soviet troops had surrendered all over the field. Brothers, they were There is no doubt that more and more Soviets are unwilling to sacrifice their lives for Stalin or be buried with the Red Empire when the general situation is over!" said Zhong Song, commander of the 77th Division.

"Before, I had no choice, because I only had the option of 'loyalty to Stalin'. Now, I have two choices, one is 'continue allegiance to Stalin', and the other is 'betray Stalin'. I choose the latter!" Xiang Nanjing Army Andre Andreevich Vlasov, commander of the 16th Army of the Soviet Army who surrendered, said this in an interview with a Chinese reporter.

"Our country and our army are powerless now!" Vasilevsky lamented in private.

After returning to Peiping from the front line, Jiang Weiguo’s ears were immediately filled with the deafening sound of the city’s jubilant celebrations. In order to prevent any accidents, Jiang Weiguo’s return to Pingping was not made public, otherwise he would be unable to move an inch after landing at the airport, and the people who greeted him It will block the airport.

"Weiguo!" Jiang Jingguo and others who had been waiting at the airport for a long time immediately walked up with great strides and overjoyed.

"Brother!" Jiang Weiguo hugged Jiang Jingguo firmly.

"You came back safe and sound! After you left, I was really worried and couldn't sleep at night..." Jiang Jingguo cried with joy, "You, you, don't be so bloody and dizzy in the future, it makes me worry to death It's..."

"How could something happen to me?" Jiang Weiguo grinned, "Who am I? I am Jiang Weiguo!" He said this with pride.

Jiang Jingguo looked at Jiang Weiguo in astonishment, and suddenly realized: "You have already prepared countermeasures, haven't you?"

"Of course!" Jiang Weiguo laughed, "I'm not a fool, how could I die unnecessarily? I know very well that I must live well!" He looked solemn, "Because there are too many People need me to live well, because I bear the hopes of too many people and too many things!"

Jiang Jingguo looked at Jiang Weiguo, and the astonishment in his eyes quickly melted: "Yes! You are right!"

Jiang Weiguo patted Jiang Weiguo on the shoulder: "Let's go! Let's have a meal, and I have to go to Wuhan after dinner!"

At this time, all the big cities in the country, such as Beiping and Wuhan, are celebrating the glorious victory of the frontline national army in a carnival-like way. All kinds of gongs and drums are loud, firecrackers are shaking the sky, people are buzzing, and banners are flying... Naturally, it is needless to say , north and south, everywhere beaming.

Jiang Weiguo really wanted to "have fun with the people", but he had to "worry about the world's worries first, and enjoy the world's joys later", so he didn't participate in any celebration banquets, celebration receptions, singing and dancing parties, etc. Because a lot of official business is waiting for him to deal with.

After the war, there were so many affairs in all aspects, but the first thing Jiang Weiguo had to do was to go to Wuhan to report to the "old man" Chiang Kai-shek.

Yu private, Jiang Weiguo is the son, Chiang Kai-shek is the father, Yu Gong, Jiang Weiguo is the subordinate, Chiang Kai-shek is the superior, so Jiang Weiguo must not leave Chiang Kai-shek aside, this is like "Three Kingdoms", after the end of the Chibi War, Zhou Yu sat proudly in the camp It is obviously very inappropriate for Zhou Yu to hold a summary report on the war in the chief position, leaving aside the real lord Sun Quan, and even committed a big taboo in the officialdom, because the leader cannot be offended, cannot be deceived, and cannot be ignored .

The high-level people around Jiang Weiguo are old fritters and old foxes in the military and political circles, and they have taught him these tricks a long time ago.

After arriving in Wuhan, Jiang Weiguo had just landed at Wangjiadun Airport when he found Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Meiling waiting by the airport. He was taken aback immediately. He hurriedly showed a panicked expression, and trotted all the way towards Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Meiling: " Father, mother, why are you here?"

Song Meiling covered her mouth and smiled: "Of course it's to welcome you!"

Jiang Weiguo tried his best to make a flattered and unbelievable expression: "Father, mother, you really...why come here in person? You are all so busy, and I am a son, how can I bother you to pick me up in person! This makes I'm at a loss!"

Chiang Kai-shek sighed, put his hands on Jiang Weiguo's shoulders, and looked at Jiang Weiguo with deep eyes. The expression on his face was the kindness, kindness, kindness, and joy of a father when he greeted his son.

"Wei'er, thank you for your hard work. You have made great contributions to the country, and you have gone through life and death. As a father, I should come to pick up my son in person, shouldn't I?" Chiang Kai-shek seemed full of emotion.

Jiang Weiguo laughed: "Father is serious! Father, you came to pick me up personally, I am so grateful..."

Chiang Kai-shek waved his hand: "If a family doesn't talk about two families, those polite words in front of outsiders can be avoided! Wei'er, you have won a big victory, and my wife and I are very happy. Both Madam and Madam are very concerned, so they come to pick you up, and want to see you intact as soon as possible, that's it, understand?"

Jiang Weiguo looked like a good son: "I understand, thank you father and mother for your concern!"

The family got into the car and went to the official residence, without showing any mountains or dews along the way.

Jiang Weiguo and Chiang Kai-shek were sitting in the same car, and just as Jiang Weiguo was about to speak, Chiang Kai-shek would nod his head: "Bai Chongxi has submitted a detailed report to me about this winter battle, and I know it very well.

The national army fought very well. Although it suffered huge losses and casualties, it achieved brilliant results enough to play a decisive role in this war.

The complete defeat of the Soviet Union is already a foregone conclusion, right? "

"Of course! Of course!" Jiang Weiguo had no doubts about this matter, as if asking whether Germany and Japan would fall in 1945 in the original history, it was simply nonsense.

Chiang Kai-shek showed an expression that seemed to have another meaning: "Wei'er, everything is like this. The closer to success at the last moment, the more prone to accidents, such as the Xi'an Incident. It succeeded, but it was in vain overnight, alas, I won’t mention it.

I mean... do you think there is anything going on in the Soviet Union right now that could affect the outcome of the war? "

Jiang Weiguo thought for a while: "First of all, our country is determined to destroy the Soviet Union. Germany is the same, Japan and Italy are the same. The four major members of the Allied Powers do not have the motivation to change their minds midway. The strength to turn defeat into victory. As for the outside world, the United States, Britain and France must not be able to sit still at this time. What they hope most is that the Allied Powers and the Soviet Union will lose both sides. If we win, the United States, Britain, and France must not want to see us win in the end because of their own interests.

Because... there is no reason! ’ He spread his hands.

Chiang Kai-shek smiled: "The Soviet special envoy has arrived, and the American special envoy has also arrived!"

"What?" Jiang Weiguo was slightly surprised, but not particularly surprised.

"Well, the Soviet envoy is Andrei Yanu Alevich Vyshinsky, the number two figure in the Soviet diplomatic service you've seen before, and the American envoy is Harry Lloyd Hopkins, President Roosevelt's personal adviser. s.

Weier, don't underestimate this Hopkins. This person has won the trust and respect of President Roosevelt. Although he has no official position, he can be called the second person in the White House. He is even called the "shadow president". The core think tank that assists President Roosevelt in deliberating and deciding on many major national policy issues!"

Jiang Weiguo touched the cigarette in his pocket, but then realized that he was sitting in the car with Chiang Kai-shek. The space in the car was small. Chiang Kai-shek didn't smoke and didn't like the smell of smoke, so he withdrew his hand and suppressed the craving for cigarettes: "Father, it seems that Wei Sinskey directly represented the Soviet government, but Hopkins seemed to represent President Roosevelt himself!"

Chiang Kai-shek nodded: "It should be, Hopkins represents President Roosevelt himself, not the US government.

What interests me the most is that Vyshinsky and Hopkins came to Wuhan almost at the same time, and the two seem to have made an appointment!"

"It must be an agreement!" Jiang Weiguo laughed, "Wyshinsky came here to ask for peace, and Hopkins came here to speak out.

It seems that the president in the wheelchair really can't sit still!"

Chiang Kai-shek looked at Jiang Weiguo meaningfully: "Wei'er, since we don't know whether there is any agreement between the United States and the Soviet Union, and we are not sure whether Hopkins only represents President Roosevelt or the U.S. government, so I plan to first Send you to contact them, and then send high-level officials from the government to have a formal meeting with them!"

Jiang Weiguo thought about it and felt that this arrangement is really good. Jiang Weiguo is a high-ranking official in the Chinese army (in fact, he is not particularly high. If he dies, he will be a lieutenant general, and the national army currently has more than 200 lieutenant generals), but he is the son of Chiang Kai-shek. Therefore, Jiang Weiguo can represent both the Chinese government and Chiang Kai-shek himself. It is easy to switch between the two identities, and it is also convenient for diplomatic maneuvers afterwards.

In the evening, Jiang Weiguo had dinner with Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Meiling. During the dinner, the three talked and laughed happily. After the meal, Jiang Weiguo and Chiang Kai-shek talked for several hours in the study. How the government should respond, the next relationship with Germany and Japan, the development of the domestic economy and industry after the victory, and many other ideas were endlessly conceived in front of Chiang Kai-shek. Chiang Kai-shek was very interested and nodded frequently, because what Jiang Weiguo said was not official. Most of the things are forward-looking and innovative, which made Chiang Kai-shek feel refreshed. Afterwards, the father and son discussed many issues. It was not until midnight that the excited two people went back to their rooms rest.

Jiang Weiguo is very excited, because his dream of "rejuvenating China" is about to take another huge step;

Chiang Kai-shek was also excited, because he was able to achieve his state of "being ordered by the heavens and being the only one who respects me alone". Nothing interested him more than "opening up territories and leaving a name in history". This is a great opportunity, which he had never thought of before.

The next morning, Jiang Weiguo washed up and had breakfast, and went to meet Vyshinsky in good spirits.

When he saw the No. [-] man in the Soviet diplomatic service again, Jiang Weiguo could hardly recognize him, because he saw that Vyshinsky had a very bad complexion, with a sallow face, thinning hair, haggard and exhausted, and his eyes were dull and dull , the whole person is full of a decadent and decadent atmosphere, Jiang Weiguo is in stark contrast to it, Jiang Weiguo is red and full of energy.

Seeing Vyshinsky, Jiang Weiguo really suspected that he stayed up all night last night, "Isn't this what future generations will look like if they stay up all night in an Internet cafe for a week?" Jiang Weiguo secretly wanted to laugh, he didn't think Vyshinsky was like this Unexpectedly, this person is Stalin's loyal running dog, a powerful and powerful man who can show off his power in the Soviet Union, and one of the vested interests of the Soviet regime. At this time, Stalin's regime is at the end of its rope. Vyshinsky, who was all tied up with him, was naturally in panic all day long. He couldn't eat or sleep soundly, and his complexion must have been haggard and rotten.

In the final analysis, without Stalin, how could he act as a minion for the tiger, pretend to be the tiger's power, and help the evildoers?Without the Soviet Union, how can he make waves and do whatever he wants?What was he without the Soviet regime?Not only that, how could the enemy countries of the Soviet Union and his countless enemies let him go?Jiang Weiguo had no sympathy for Vyshinsky at all. When he was in power, he was vicious and committed all kinds of evil.

Seeing Jiang Weiguo walk into the conference room, Vyshinsky, who was sitting on his seat like a wooden sculpture of clay, immediately stood up like an electric shock, and bowed to Jiang Weiguo with a smile on his face.

Jiang Weiguo felt that the four words "slavery" were really appropriate to describe Vyshinsky. He didn't bother to be polite with Vyshinsky, ignored him, and walked across to him without squinting.

"Stalin sent you here to ask for peace, right?" Jiang Weiguo went straight to the point.

Vyshinsky nodded repeatedly with a flattering smile: "Yes, yes!" The word "seeking peace" that Jiang Weiguo just said was undoubtedly very harsh, but Vyshinsky did not have the courage to refute Or to correct, he has neither the need nor the time to bargain with Jiang Weiguo in words, after all, strength determines everything.

"Conditions!" Jiang Weiguo lit a cigarette.

Vyshinsky respectfully delivered a document that had been translated into Chinese to Jiang Weiguo.

Jiang Weiguo exhaled a smoke ring from his nostrils: "Just say it!" He didn't bother to look.

Vyshinsky calmed down and said cautiously: "In terms of territory, we admit that the Ural Mountains and the area east of the Ural River completely belong to your country, that is, North Asia and Central Asia, which belonged to the Soviet Union, are [-]% ceded to your country! "

"Well, this is a land cede, what about the compensation?"

"In terms of compensation, our country will pay your country US$30 billion in compensation, of which US$5 million will be paid immediately, and the remaining US$25 billion will be paid off in five years!"

"Stalin's character is mediocre!" Jiang Weiguo sneered, "A mere $30 billion is too little, isn't it?"

Vyshinsky smiled apologetically, but his smile was uglier than crying: "Second son, we also have to ask Germany for peace and pay compensation to Germany, so... in terms of financial resources, we really... can't get it out.

However, we have other compensations!"

"Tell me!"

"After the war, in the new Soviet territory, 35% of the mining of coal, oil, iron ore and other resources belonged to China. We are also willing to hand over a large amount of industrial equipment to your country for debt repayment!" Wei Xinsi Ki trembling lips, he completely begged, "As long as we can leave some territory for the Soviet Union, as long as the Soviet regime can continue to exist, we are willing to give everything we can.

Second son..." He muttered, "These are the exact words of Comrade Stalin!"

Jiang Weiguo touched his chin: "Tsk tsk, you have already talked about this, it's interesting!"

Chapter 569 US-Soviet Special Envoy (2)

Stalin is known as the "Iron Giant", and countless facts in the 19 years he has been in power have also proved this. His hands are like made of steel, so he has an iron fist like a meat grinder. His heart It is also like made of steel, so he has a heart of stone like a freezer. With just a wave of his hand, countless heads will fall to the ground in an instant, and no amount of hot blood will make him cold The ruthless heart melted a little bit, but all of this was based on being at the peak of power. Once the power base on which he stood did not exist, this man who had the supreme life and death power over 9000 million Soviets in the Soviet Union The powerful "steel giant" will immediately reveal its original shape, and in the end it will be impossible to escape the old saying "a phoenix on the ground is not as good as a chicken". Majestic and majestic, in fact, he is dignified and ruthless.

At this time, Stalin felt that the end was imminent. He was no longer furious, manic, calm, or calm. There was only fear and despair that almost suffocated him.

Before this winter battle, with the approval and support of Stalin, the top Soviet leaders had already begun to consider the way out. At the beginning, the top Soviet leaders believed that the "optimal result" was: victory in the winter battle and the temptation to increase the bargaining chip , prompting China to withdraw from the Soviet Union’s war, thereby weakening Germany’s war power and attacking Germany’s belief in war. Next, the Soviet Union single-mindedly dealt with Germany and at the same time sued for peace with Germany. A "jedi counterattack", achieving a local victory, and offering enough lucrative conditions to feed Germany and Hitler, thus prompting Germany to agree to the Soviet Union's summation, and finally to obtain the survival of the Soviet Union - just It is the survival of the Soviet Union, not the victory of the Soviet Union.

But the fact is that man's calculation is not as good as heaven's calculation. The "big avalanche" of the Soviet army suffered a complete defeat, forcing the top Soviet leaders to come up with a "final plan."

There were four sets of "final solutions" sent to Stalin as follows:

First, request the United States, Britain and France to provide maximum assistance to the Soviet Union at all costs (including direct participation of the United States, Britain and France in the Soviet War and fighting side by side with the Soviet Army);

Second, beg for peace;

Third, beg for surrender;

Fourth, fled abroad after the demise of the Soviet Union and established a "Soviet government-in-exile" under the asylum and support of the United States, Britain and France.

Among them, although there is only one word difference between "begging for peace" and "begging for surrender", they are completely different in nature.

Begging for peace is still a peace negotiation. After the armistice, the Soviet Union is still an independent sovereign country. There will be no troops from Germany, China, Japan, Italy and other countries in the country. The Soviet Union will still exist, but, as you can imagine, in order to achieve the goal of "begging for peace" The Soviet Union must cede land and pay compensation, and it will cede an extremely vast area of ​​land, pay an extremely huge amount, and completely lose power and humiliate the country; begging to surrender is surrender. After the armistice, the Soviet Union will continue to exist, but it will not remain an independent sovereign state, but The vassal states of the Allied Powers retained nominal sovereignty, but they were actually colonies. The new Soviet government was just a puppet regime. Stalin might still be the leader of the Soviet Union, but he was only played by Hitler and Jiang Weiguo. The "child emperor" at his mercy.

Continue to resist, beg for peace, beg for peace, exile, and perish. The Soviet Union has only these five paths to follow.

After Stalin thought over and over again, what he hoped most was the first one, that is, the United States, Britain and France would forcefully intervene in the Soviet war, aid the Soviet Union, and support the Soviet regime. Unfortunately, this road was basically a dead end, because the United States, Britain and France would just watch the fire .

Seeing that the Soviet Union was about to perish, the governments of the United States, Britain and France were very shocked. The most wonderful situation they hoped for most, "the Allied Powers and the Soviet Union were both wounded and both were deeply involved in the quagmire of war", did not appear. At this time, for the United States and Britain As far as the three countries of France are concerned, they should intervene in the Soviet war immediately, decisively, and forcefully. Even if they cannot declare war on the Allied Powers and fight side by side with the Soviet Union, they should at least assist the Soviet Union to the greatest extent and support the Soviet government so that the Soviet Union can last longer. It even brought the Soviet Union back to life, and used the Soviet Union to hold back and consume the Allies for a little longer.

Stalin wrote many personal letters to American President Roosevelt, British Prime Minister Chamberlain, and French President Albert Le Brun. If they fail, Germany, China, Japan, and Italy, which have carved up the Soviet Union, will surely increase their national strength. These four bandits will be insatiable and greedy in the future. They will sharpen their knives against the Western world such as the United States, Britain, and France. The Soviet Union...is willing to be your country's containment The tools of Germany, China, Japan and Italy, the Soviet Union is willing to use its own blood to help your country consume the national power of Germany, China, Japan and Italy, and use the bones of countless Soviets to delay the chariots of Germany, China, Japan and Italy, so as to gain more precious time for your country, so that Your country has gained full initiative in the international situation..." Regarding Stalin's almost groveling request, U.S. President Roosevelt expressed his "approval" and tried his best to provide a lot of assistance to the Soviet Union, but Roosevelt's assistance was only a drop in the bucket. As for Chamberlain and Le Brun, the reaction of the two made Stalin almost faint.

Chamberlain did not reply to Stalin. On the contrary, he sent a telegram to Hitler, and it was a congratulatory message: Dear Fuhrer, I am very pleased and pleased to see your army victorious on the Soviet battlefield. There is no doubt that it is helping the whole world. In the great cause of mankind's eradication of Bolshevism, you, Germany, and the German army have lived up to the expectations of the civilized world. They have made great efforts and made great contributions. Hereby, I would like to express my gratitude to you and sincerely wish Europe Peace forever.

Chamberlain did not disobey Hitler. After entering 1941, the trade volume between Germany and Britain increased by a full 1940 to [-] percentage points compared with [-]. A large amount of British materials flowed into Germany, and many British businessmen made a fortune by relying on the German-Soviet War. fiscal.

As for Le Brun, the reaction was similar to that of Chamberlain, and even better. Le Brun not only sent a congratulatory message to Hitler, but also sent congratulatory messages to Chiang Kai-shek and Jiang Weiguo.
