I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

Page 492

Jiang Weiguo chuckled: "Not necessarily? First of all, I agree with you. After China and Germany become border countries, they will influence each other objectively and be wary of each other. There are no permanent friends or enemies, only permanent However, the problem is not so serious, because there are already four Central Asian countries as a buffer zone between China and Germany. The conditions are harsh, and it is destined not to become a populated place. Even in 100 years, North Asia will not be as densely populated and densely populated as the eastern regions of China. North Asia will only be the source of raw materials for China. Even if it is destroyed in the war, Even if it is threatened by war in peacetime, it will not suffer too much loss. The vast North and Central Asia will become a buffer zone between China and Germany. Therefore, there is no need for Soviet Russia to act as a buffer zone between China and Germany. !"

Hopkins' smile became embarrassing and blunt: "Although that's the case, we must prevent problems before they happen!"

"It is true to take precautions before they happen, but there is no need to worry about others!" Jiang Weiguo said coldly.

Hopkins' complexion changed, and then he resumed his previous warm smile: "Mr. Jiang, we have heard a little bit of rumors. It is said that if the Soviet authorities fail to make peace, they will do some things that will kill everything in a hurry, such as Total destruction of industrial facilities within its borders, yes?"

Jiang Weiguo's face suddenly became very ugly. He could tell that Hopkins and Vyshinsky...or in other words, the United States and the Soviet Union secretly communicated with each other. The Soviet Union had already informed the United States of the "scorched earth policy", probably as a request The United States helped the Soviet Union put diplomatic pressure on China during the Sino-US consultations.

Right now, as expected, the Soviet Union begged for mercy, and the United States interceded for mercy, and the cooperation was tacit.

Jiang Weiguo was distraught, but he kept his mind steady, showing contempt and disdain while being distracted: "Vyshinsky did say that, but so what? Stalin intends to use this to blackmail the Allies? It's a joke!"

Hopkins seemed calm and composed. He was more shrewd than Vyshinsky. His calmness was either bluffing like Jiang Weiguo, or he had seen through Jiang Weiguo's "hard-spoken and guilty conscience" nature.

"Having said that, but fighting a war is like doing business. You have to talk about benefits and costs, right?" Hopkins' tone seemed very confiding, but it was clearly a mockery to Jiang Weiguo, "China has been weak for a hundred years. In recent years, it has only developed slightly. It is not easy for China and the Chinese army to participate in such a grand war as the Soviet War. If they are defeated, it goes without saying that China will go bankrupt, but there is no doubt that China will Victory, however, can be divided into two types, one is a victory that is not worth the loss and is not worthy of the name, and the other is a real victory that returns with a full load and a rich harvest. I believe that what China needs is the second instead of the first.

If China won the war with a lot of labor and money, and all it got was pieces of scorched earth and piles of ruins, what is the point of such a victory?Not only will it fail to enhance China's national strength, but it will drag China down!"

Seeing that Jiang Weiguo just sneered and didn't speak (Jiang Weiguo was actually pretending to be sneering, he was angry, hated and helpless), Hopkins said eloquently: "The sooner the war ends, the sooner the peace comes, this is good for China and the United States. All are good things. I believe that after the end of the war, China will obtain large tracts of new land and a large amount of new resources. Reconstruction and development will mean countless opportunities. In fact, domestic businessmen in our country can’t wait a long time ago. They just wait With the end of the war, and then scrambling to invest in China, our government will not miss this opportunity to increase business cooperation with China and achieve mutual benefit and win-win between the two countries!" He smiled and looked at Jiang Weiguo, with an intriguing tone, "Call and It is within President Roosevelt's power to encourage American businessmen to invest in China and formulate preferential policies for them!"

Jiang Weiguo's heart skipped a beat, he understood Hopkins' hint.

Hopkins was keenly aware of Jiang Weiguo's heartbeat, so he said unhurriedly: "I'm afraid the first batch of investment will exceed [-] million US dollars. After all, who wouldn't be tempted by such a big piece of cake?" He Looking at Jiang Weiguo with a smile.

Temptation, the word immediately came to Jiang Weiguo's mind.

Chapter 571 Begging and Armistice (1)

Jiang Weiguo had to admire Roosevelt. The paralyzed president in a wheelchair was indeed a statesman and strategist with far-sightedness and foresight. The influence is much smaller than that of Britain and France, but he still started to plan ahead when Britain and France were insensitive.

Jiang Weiguo didn't know exactly what Roosevelt was thinking about, but he could guess one or two things: retaining a Soviet Union with a sharply reduced national strength and declining national power is located in the easternmost part of Europe, between China and Germany. ", to create a crisis behind the Allied Powers, and use the half-dead Soviet Union to contain the Allied Powers (mainly China and Germany) to a certain extent. On the one hand, they can also "use waste" on the Soviet Union when necessary. The country is prosperous, rich and rich, and if the Allies really break out of war with the United States, the United States can conduct a large-scale blood transfusion to the Soviet Union and rearm the Soviet army. At that time, the Americans will be responsible for paying the money, and the Soviets will be responsible for their lives. With bloodshed, the Soviet army became mercenaries, shields, scapegoats, and cannon fodder for the US military, thus saving the precious lives of Americans.

As we all know, Americans who talk about "human rights" all day long cherish their lives the most. Why would the United States not do it when soldiers from other countries go through life and death for American soldiers?Anyway, the United States has plenty of money.

Jiang Weiguo was sure that Roosevelt should have other considerations, but the above two aspects alone were enough for Roosevelt to devote himself to this matter.

Jiang Weiguo had confirmed at this time that Stalin must have asked Roosevelt, which is why the special envoys of the two countries cooperated so tacitly.

The attitudes of the United States and the Soviet Union are very clear, and the conditions offered are also very clear: the Allies will continue to fight until the Soviet Union is finally destroyed. The United States will definitely not be able to intervene directly. Yes, the Soviet Union will die, but the Alliance The Congress has suffered huge losses, and the desperate Soviet authorities will implement a comprehensive "scorched earth policy" when the end comes, so that the Allies (mainly China) will not be able to obtain the most urgently needed industrial equipment and other infrastructure; , show mercy, then China can obtain a large amount of industrial equipment that originally belonged to the Soviet Union and that China needs most urgently, and the United States will also increase investment in China.

Jiang Weiguo was deeply annoyed by the "rogue tactics" used by the United States and the Soviet Union, but it was indeed tricky. Among other things, once the Soviet army really implemented the scorched earth policy, the Baku oil field would be the first to be turned into scorched earth.

Once the Soviet army, which controlled half of the Baku oilfields, fired their guns, the other half of the oilfields in the hands of China and Germany immediately turned into a sea of ​​flames. Then, under the retaliatory bombardment of the Chinese and German troops, half of the oilfields in the hands of the Soviet army immediately turned into flames. Into a sea of ​​flames, the whole of Baku became a sea of ​​flames, "no one can get it".

It's as if Jiang Weiguo chased an enemy to the edge of a cliff, but before he died, the enemy threw a box of gold with him into the cliff.

"Your country is really kind and generous!" After leaving this sarcasm, Jiang Weiguo left the conference room where he was discussing with Hopkins with contempt and disdain.

Ending the negotiation with Hopkins is the same as ending the negotiation with Vyshinsky. Jiang Weiguo is domineering on the surface, but he is restless in his heart, and after the negotiation with Hopkins, his anxiety is even more serious.

"Damn it! What should I do?" Jiang Weiguo was very annoyed. After thinking about it for a long time without any result, he had to send a telegram to Yang Jie and Xiao Yao in Beiping to ask their opinion.

Yang Jie, Xiao Yao and other Jiang Weiguo's "brain tank staff" immediately replied to Jiang Weiguo after conducting some research on this special situation.

Yang Jie analyzed: "We believe that the reason why the Americans are so eager to mediate our war with the Soviet Union is not only trying to plant the seeds of disaster for us and adding a future war aid to themselves, but also to drive a wedge between our country. relations with Germany.

If the Allied Powers agree to the Soviet Union's begging, we will benefit greatly, while Germany's interests will suffer.

The Soviet Union consists of three major parts, North Asia, Central Asia, and Eastern Europe. According to the agreement before the war, North Asia and Central Asia belong to us, and Eastern Europe belongs to Germany. Although the area of ​​​​North Asia and Central Asia is far larger than that of Eastern Europe, the German side I am very willing to accept this agreement, because although Eastern Europe is not as large as North and Central Asia, it is more valuable. Most of the core essence of the Soviet Union is in Eastern Europe, while North and Central Asia are sparsely populated and barren Primitive; secondly, in terms of national interests and national sentiments, Germany is not very interested in getting involved in Asia, and it should avoid stimulating us. Germany is a European country after all, and China does not need to get involved in Europe. After all, China is an Asian country; However, if the Soviet Union agrees to beg for peace, then Germany will suffer a great loss, because we can still get North Asia and Central Asia, but Germany cannot get all of Eastern Europe. Germany can only get about 60% of Eastern Europe in the end, and Moscow, Leninger In the pre-war agreement, the three major towns of Stalingrad and Stalingrad belonged to Germany, but Germany could not get it. Undoubtedly, the top German leaders would be very dissatisfied; third, the reason for Hitler himself.

Hitler hated and despised the East Slavs extremely, regarded them as "inferior races", and wanted to exterminate them quickly. The purpose of Hitler's war against the Soviet Union was not to defeat the Soviet Union, but to destroy the Soviet Union. Germany's Soviet puppet state or Russia's puppet state, he wants to completely eliminate Soviet Russia.

According to General Shang Zhen’s report, the German army won many battles in Eastern Europe and captured millions of Soviet officers and soldiers, many of whom were senior officers such as army commanders and division commanders. Allegiance, but was rejected by Hitler and other high-level Germans. The high-level Germans dismissed these senior Soviet prisoners who hoped to serve Germany, never seriously considered how to use these defectors, and even ridiculed and insulted them .

Our army established the "Yellow Russian Army", while the German army has never established a similar army. Our country is willing to accept the Russians who have been tested and determined to be loyal to my country as our new nation "Russians". Rejected the existence of 'German Russians' and did not allow Russians to join Germany in order to avoid 'Germanic blood and German purity being tarnished'.

Based on this factor, we believe that it is difficult for Hitler and the top German leaders to accept the Soviet Union's begging for peace; in addition, we need and care about Soviet machinery and equipment, while Germany does not need or care about Soviet machinery and equipment!"

"A dilemma, a dilemma!" Jiang Weiguo became more and more depressed.

Just when Jiang Weiguo was at a loss, Xiao Yao flew from Beiping to Wuhan and found Jiang Weiguo.

"This is a big problem... In fact, it's not impossible to solve it and get the best of both worlds!" Xiao Yao cut to the chase.

Tears almost filled Jiang Weiguo's eyes: "Military division, I fucking knew you had an idea.

You wait for me first, I will send someone to the street to buy you a goose feather fan, and shake the fan while making suggestions for you, which will be more in line with your image! "

Xiao Yao laughed dumbly: "Let's get down to business! Let me ask you first, Stalin's unscrupulous and crazy resistance, was he trying to keep the sovereignty of the Soviet Union, the people of the Soviet Union, the Soviet regime, the revolutionary fire of the Bolsheviks, the hope of the Soviet Union's comeback, or just for the sake of To preserve his own life and power?"

Jiang Weiguo laughed: "Of course it's the latter!" For dictatorships like Stalin, Jiang Weiguo has long seen it through. They will shake the majestic banner of "defending the home and the country" hoarsely, and encourage the people who were oppressed by their tyranny to work hard to regain power.

What is defending the country?What is protected is only the power of tyrants, and what is defended is only the dragon chair of tyrants.

"Yes!" Xiao Yao nodded, "In the past 19 years, Stalin has indeed made great contributions to the Soviet Union, but his crimes may far exceed his contributions. How many people were killed in the Great Purge? How many people were killed in the Great Famine? Starved to death? Undoubtedly, many people in the Soviet Union and the top Soviet Union were too scared by Stalin to oppose him before, but now, seeing that Stalin is about to die, their hatred for him will again overshadow their fear of him .

There must be some people in the upper echelons of the Soviet Union who don’t want to continue to work for Stalin anymore, there must be someone who wants to replace him, and there must be someone who wants to use his head as a vote to vote for us. Among the general public of the Soviet Union, there must be more and more people I don't want to be buried with the Soviet Union.

The Americans asked us to be lenient with the Soviet Union?OK, let's show mercy!It’s just that there were rebel forces within the upper echelons of the Soviet Union, who overthrew Stalin’s regime and even killed Stalin, and then surrendered their country and surrendered to us, this is not our fault!”

Jiang Weiguo immediately felt enlightened: "That's right! In this way, we won't get a shattered Soviet Union, and Germany won't have any objections. Anyway, the Soviet Union will eventually perish!"

Xiao Yao smiled: "Multi-pronged approach is enough.

In fact, although Roosevelt did not want the Soviet Union to be destroyed, he actually could not take any substantive measures. We don't need to care about the attitude of the United States. What we care about is the factories and machinery of the Soviet Union.

In order to keep those industrial facilities, we can also use a method.

When the doomsday comes, there must be countless people among the hundreds of millions of Soviet people who think more about themselves and their families than about the survival of the Soviet Union or the life and death of Stalin.

Stalin gave the order to carry out the scorched earth policy, but who carried out the order?Could it be that Stalin himself did it?Not Soviet soldiers and Soviet workers?As long as the Soviet soldiers and workers don't obey his orders, wouldn't that be all right? "

"Huairou policy?" Jiang Weiguo understood.

"No!" Xiao Yao shook his head, "It's the Sanguang policy!"

After negotiating with Xiao Yao, Jiang Weiguo immediately approached Shu Guosheng, the deputy director of the Maritime Statistics Bureau (the director is Jiang Weiguo himself), and asked straight to the point: "Is it possible to create a large-scale rebellion within the top Soviet Union?"

Shu Guosheng was confident: "It's easy!"

"Really easy?"

"Really easy!"

"How easy?"

Shu Guosheng thought for a while: "Boss, the Soviet special envoy who is negotiating with you is Vyshinsky, right? This person is one of Stalin's most loyal lackeys. Now I will personally instigate him to show you!"

Jiang Weiguo was surprised: "You want to instigate Vyshinsky?"

Shu Guosheng nodded: "I will use this Stalin's most loyal running dog to do an experiment for you to see!"

Jiang Weiguo was deeply surprised, and he brought Shu Guosheng to meet Vyshinsky again. Of course, Shu Guosheng's identity in the talks was not Jiang Weiguo's spy chief, but Jiang Weiguo's adjutant entourage.

When he saw Jiang Weiguo for the second time, Vyshinsky felt a lot more relaxed, because Hopkins had already sent someone to ventilate with him.

Hopkins told Vyshinsky that he was also comforting and encouraging Vyshinsky, not to be intimidated by Jiang Weiguo's appearance of being "severe and relentless". Soil, the second is to wash away the national humiliation. In addition to these two points, there is a more practical and important third point: plundering wealth.

China is a poor country, and it cannot afford to lose or win. Jiang Weiguo desperately wants to obtain the wealth of the Soviet Union, so the Soviet Union must strengthen its confidence and make full use of this to force China to retreat.

Immediately, Vyshinsky's confidence increased greatly. Of course, his heart was still shrouded in extreme fear. After all, the begging and peace had not been successful, and before he went to China, he had already received a stern order from Stalin: "If it is not successful, Don’t come to see me, go directly to the labor camp to report!” “The Soviet Union has limited food now, and will not waste food for useless rice buckets!”

"Little Mr. Jiang, I believe that after calm and rational consideration, you have already understood the pros and cons..." Vyshinsky had just opened his mouth when Shu Guosheng, who was sitting next to Jiang Weiguo, interrupted him with a smile.

"Mr. Vyshinsky, how about we don't talk about the Soviet Union or Stalin in this meeting?" Shu Guosheng smiled and spoke softly.

Vyshinsky looked at Shu Guosheng suspiciously, and then looked at Jiang Weiguo beside Shu Guosheng. Jiang Weiguo was expressionless, which made Vyshinsky realize that the person next to Jiang Weiguo was going to speak on behalf of Jiang Weiguo, "Then let's talk What?" he asked.

"Talk about yourself, Your Excellency!" Shu Guosheng still smiled harmlessly.

Vyshinsky's heart moved, and an ominous premonition surged: "Talk about me? What can I talk about?"

Shu Guosheng smiled and said: "Mr. Vyshinsky, your parents are gone, and the people you are closest to in the world right now are your wife and your three children, two sons and one daughter.

Needless to say, they were all under the watchful eye of the KGB at this time, right? "

Vyshinsky's face changed: "What do you mean? What do you want to say?"

Shu Guosheng talked eloquently: "This is the consistent style of Stalin, the leader of your country. He is extremely suspicious and distrusts others. In fact, all dictators and tyrants are like this. They are extremely powerful on the surface, but in fact they live in fear in their hearts. Do not trust the people around you.

Stalin killed all his opponents, so that his eyes were full of fanatical faces scrambling to express their loyalty, and his ears were full of shouts of long live, but he knew well that those who desperately expressed their loyalty and shouted long live, Maybe he was cursing him to go to hell sooner in his heart, so he had to use the only method a dictator can use to restrain his lackeys.

It is certain that if he could flee the Soviet Union with his family, the running dogs around Stalin would have run away long ago. Especially now that Stalin is becoming more and more powerless and suspicious, so it is even more necessary to strengthen the kind of family as hostages. deplorable means.

Mr. Vyshinsky, your family must be under the strict monitoring of the KGB at this time, so as to prevent you from defecting when you are in China!"

Vyshinsky's face darkened: "What exactly do you want to say?"

Shu Guosheng smiled and said: "Let's get down to business, let's talk about yourself! Comrade Stalin is about to go to the guillotine, and the Soviet Union is about to cease to exist in the world. Have you ever considered your own way out? Have you ever considered the way out for your family? Feeling, small people also have the benefits of small people. When the world is turned upside down, small people are inconspicuous, so it is safe, but what about you, Mr. Vyshinsky? You are a big person, the celebrity around Stalin, the number two of the Soviet diplomatic service Character, you made your fortune through the Great Cleansing. In the past six years, you have stepped on the bones and blood of countless compatriots. You have prospered in your official career, your fortune has risen, you have turned your hands into clouds, and your hands have turned into rain. It is hard for us not to notice you! After death, what will be the fate of you and your family?"

Vyshinsky pursed his lips tightly and said nothing, his face turned from black to blue, because Shu Guosheng's words firmly hit the most fearful place in his heart, making him even open his mouth to refute or forcefully deny it. Thoughts did not arise.

Shu Guosheng continued eloquently: "Well, the Soviet Union is definitely going to perish. At that time, you and your family have only three options. One is to see the situation is not good, and the whole family commits suicide, which ends in a happy ending. Of course, it is estimated that the corpse will die." It is difficult to rest in the ground, and it is possible to be murdered, burned, and ashes like the last Tsar Nicholas II's family. However, this is the best ending, because the second road is more terrifying, that is, the whole family Killed, or at the hands of your suspicious and bloodthirsty master, or at the hands of your countless enemies, or... at the hands of us; perhaps, you have a third way, to escape, but alas, We won't give you this chance!"

Vyshinsky's face was changing drastically.

Shu Guosheng narrowed his eyes, and smiled but with a strong smile: "We all know that we don't want to get only a Soviet Union that has been reduced to scorched ruins after victory. You continue to work for Stalin at the negotiating table. When the time comes, we But it will be settled after autumn.

We issued the most stringent search warrant for you and your whole family. After we catch you and your whole family, we will let you and your whole family die without a burial! "His last words were like a chilly wind.

Finally, Vyshinsky couldn't restrain his emotions. He yelled at the crime with extreme fear and fury: "What do you mean? Threatening me?"

"Yes, I'm threatening you!" Shu Guosheng unhurriedly took out a stack of photos from his briefcase and handed them to Vyshinsky, "People are very fragile, and people are very easy to die. Yes, so there has always been a worldwide problem, how to let a person die in the most miserable and painful way for as long as possible? Shot? That's so comfortable, die all at once, almost without any pain "Hanging? It's also a very comfortable way of death; beheading? Burying alive? Skinning? Cutting in half? None of them are ideal. My personal favorites are Ling Chi and Burning."

In comparison, Ling Chi is simply an art, and burning at the stake seems too rough.

Mr Vyshinsky, please enjoy these dozen pictures!"

Vyshinsky reluctantly looked at those photos, and his eyes suddenly widened.

"The man in the photo who is tied to a wooden frame and covered in blood and blood is the last commander of the 16th Division of the Japanese Army, Nakajima Imsago!" Shu Guosheng explained, "This man has committed many evils and harmed countless Chinese people. The heinous deeds were heinous, and he was finally captured by our army during the Battle of Nanjing. We finally used a long-established Chinese torture "Ling Chi" to execute him. Unfortunately, due to limited conditions and hasty preparations, Nakajima was only used by our executioners The knife cut off 380 six pieces of flesh on his body and died, but he was tortured for more than an hour by the excruciating pain, and howling for more than an hour is enough!"

Vyshinsky dressed roughly: "What do you mean? What do you mean?"

Shu Guosheng looked at Vyshinsky, without a smile on his face: "If Stalin's 'scorched earth policy' is really put into action, and you and your family finally fall into our hands, this will be the end!"

Vyshinsky's body began to tremble.

Shu Guosheng put away the photos slowly: "To be honest, this wishful thinking you have made is really low-level and ridiculous. Stalin really thought that his subordinates would faithfully carry out his orders now? He wanted to use countless Soviets to To protect himself, but those generals under him will really continue to work for him until they are buried with him? Mr. Vyshinsky, I also advise you to have some brains, learn from others, and don’t really be buried with Stalin, soon , we can win without bloodshed, and Stalin's wishful thinking is nothing to worry about in our eyes!"
