    The chief negotiator of the Soviet Union, People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs Molotov, was simply stunned. This was not a negotiation, it was just naked blackmail. With more than one million square kilometers of land, Major General Zhao accepted it without blinking.  , in exchange for saying, "It's a sign of goodwill, I know it from the bottom of my heart!" Is he here to negotiate or to give a gift? Even if it is a gift, for such a big gift, there must be a few words of thanks, right?

    It¡¯s too much to bully someone!  Molotov couldn't bear it anymore. He stood up with a slap in the face, his eyes widened. What kind of diplomat's demeanor and etiquette? What kind of petty impatience can lead to big plans? Damn it. If you don't vent it out, don't do it.  Lotov absolutely believed that he would be so angry that he would rupture his cerebral blood vessels and die on the spot!

    "General Zhao, I strongly protest. I have served in the diplomatic community for decades and have dealt with diplomats from various countries. I have never seen such shameless behavior. Is this the attitude of negotiation? It is naked blackmail.  Typical of taking advantage of others' danger, I will not agree to your unreasonable request. These are all the conditions of our Soviet Union. In exchange for your squadron, we will stop all military operations against the Soviet army and guarantee that we will not carry out any form of harassment!  Otherwise, I refuse to continue the negotiation!" Molotov, with a livid face, waved his hands and shouted, while his translator translated nervously.

    Facing Molotov who was running rampant and baring his teeth, Zhao Yuhe showed no sign of being angry at all. His eyes were as quiet as a baby who had just woken up. Tang Qiuli, who was sitting next to him, resisted the urge to laugh.  Secretly applauding, this was what he and Zhao Yuhe had discussed before meeting Molotov. Unexpectedly, Yuhe performed so well on the spot, and in just a few words, he defeated Molotov, a veteran in the diplomatic world.  Made him furious.

    After Molotov finished shouting, panted and sat down angrily, Zhao Yuhe said with an innocent face: "Mr. Molotov, you are so uncool. Can I answer the accusation you just made?"  Do you understand that because the differences between the two parties are too great to compromise, there is no need to continue the negotiation? "

    "Well, I will wait for Mr. Molotov to regain his senses before negotiating. I have the patience and time to wait, regarding your accusations against us. Your Excellency has a lot, and I will not care about it. But. Our point of view  I must let you know that my attitude remains unchanged. If you still have this attitude in the next negotiation, you can go back directly and say goodbye!" Zhao Yuhe added a few words in a gentle tone.  Then, after glancing at the teacher, Tang Qiuli suppressed a smile and nodded slightly.  Zhao Yuhe stood up to leave.

    Zhao Yuhe's words directly hit Molotov's key point. Patience, patience is nothing. The person who wallows in the diplomatic circle, the one who lacks patience and spends ten and a half months on a trivial issue,  It's all commonplace. The key is time. What the Soviet Union lacks now is time. Whether it is in the direction of Europe or the Far East and Outer Mongolia, time is like a noose around the neck, making the entire Soviet Union breathless.

    Molotov's face turned from angry purple-red to pale, as if his energy had been drained away. He stood up hurriedly and said: "General Zhao, please stay. I was rude just now. I solemnly apologize to you."  Apologize, the negotiation must continue, you can put forward conditions!" His tone was almost pleading. Molotov knew in his heart that once General Zhao, who is purely a diplomatic novice, walked away, he would not be allowed to negotiate again!  At the table, it¡¯s difficult!

    "General Tang, look!" Molotov looked at Tang Qiuli again and said. He knew better that despite the fact that the top boss of the independent division had not spoken, in fact  He controls everything in the negotiation and can decide the success or failure of the negotiation with just one word. That stupid General Zhao is nothing more than a pawn!

    Tang Qiuli's eyes were gentle, he looked at Molotov, then at Zhao Yuhe, and said: "Chief of Staff, since Mr. Molotov has requested to continue the conversation, and also apologized to you in person, I  Look, just calm down for the time being, after all, reaching a negotiation agreement is our common goal!"

    Zhao Yuhe sat back on the chair, but his anger was obviously still lingering, "Mr. Molotov, since our division commander has interceded for you Soviets, well, I can sit down and continue to break through. However, if  If you show the same attitude as before, I will immediately order the soldiers to escort your Soviet delegation to the plane and go back and forth there!" He said with a slightly vicious expression.

    Molotov nodded repeatedly and said that the situation just now would not happen again. In his heart, he was depressed and angry, and almost spit out a mouthful of blood. "Just pretend, let's sing the oboe together, one with a red face and one with a black face.  Can't I see it?" He thought bitterly, but what if he could see the Chinese people's tricks and adopt a tough attitude and walk away angrily on the spot?

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????An attack would be tantamount to catastrophe for the Soviet Union!

    "Bear it - I'll bear it!" Molotov kept advising himself, forcing the waves of bad breath that surged into his chest to swallow back into his stomach, turning into a trace of helplessness and humiliation. This was his  The most memorable negotiation in my life.

    Zhao Yuhe¡¯s eyes were shining brightly and he said, ¡°Mr. Molotov, I wonder what other conditions you have to offer?¡±

    The corner of Molotov's mouth twitched painfully, and he said: "General Zhao, let's put aside our conditions just now. On the original basis, we will add the area north of Lake Balkhash to Tangnu Uliang.  In the maritime area, approximately 440,000 square kilometers of land will be ceded to you for free, General Zhao. This is our final bottom line. In exchange for your cessation of military operations, our Soviet Union has paid more than 1.8 million square kilometers.  soil of!"

    When he said these words, the expression on Molotov's face was extremely rich, as if his flesh was slowly being cut with a dull knife. Yes, it was a sign of extreme distress. This was already agreed between himself and Comrade Stalin.  The final bottom line, but he was not sure whether it could satisfy Tang Qiuli's greedy appetite?

    Under Molotov's expectant gaze, Zhao Yuhe raised his eyebrows, put the pencil in his hand on the table, and said two words "Not enough!" It's that simple, no unnecessary nonsense.  .

    But when Molotov heard these two words, they were more powerful than a thunderbolt from the blue, making him dizzy, his mouth opened like a black hole, and he said repeatedly: "What, what? - No, it's not enough."  ? ¡ª¡ªWhy? General Zhao, I want to know your final conditions!" He is known for his eloquence and ability to turn black into white. He is the mouthpiece of the Soviet party, government and military in the diplomatic world.  Molotov, who had been fighting for half his life, stuttered. This shows how shocked Zhao Yuhe's words were to him.

    Zhao Yuhe calmly said, "Mr. Molotov, I am a soldier. I don't like beating around the bush, and the same goes for negotiations. Well, I will meet your request!" He said, and then turned around and shouted: "Staff  , hang up the map!¡±

    Two capable staff officers quickly hung a map on the wall, and then stood aside with hands down. Molotov was a little confused, looking at Zhao Yuhe with eyes like light bulbs, and then turned his gaze to Zhao Yuhe.  Looking at the map with a striking red line, I felt a vague premonition of something ominous.

    Zhao Yuhe stood up, walked to the map, pointed to the red line and said: "Mr. Molotov, our conditions are very simple. Based on the 85th east longitude, the area to the east will be ceded by the Soviet Union.  That¡¯s all! After signing the agreement, our independent division troops will not conduct any form of resistance to the Soviet troops who are eager to return to Europe! What do you think?¡±

    This was a condition that Tang Qiuli considered repeatedly on the map. From the 85th parallel east longitude, it included most of the cities and fertile areas of the Soviet Union in Asia, including Lake Baikal, the largest freshwater lake in the world.  , the Sea of ??Okhotsk and the Kamchatka Peninsula. Of course, Sakhalin Island, which was originally Chinese territory, will not be excluded. In this way, the Soviet Union¡¯s reach to the Pacific region through the Asian part can be regarded as completely blocked.  Cut off.

    Originally, Tang Qiuli planned to use the Ural Mountains as the boundary, and Stalin would have to spit out the Asian part to the east. However, after carefully weighing the pros and cons, he overturned this condition. In terms of the current situation of the Soviet Union, facing  The German offensive will definitely not be able to defend European territory. It is only a matter of time before the capital Moscow falls. Europe cannot stay any longer. Stalin will move the capital to the east of the Ural Mountains, although he certainly does not want to do this.

    However, the situation forced Stalin to consider whether moving the capital was more important than destroying the country. After all, the Ural Mountains were a natural barrier that could withstand millions of troops. It was difficult for the German army to defeat the Ural Mountains.  What is easy, comes at a considerable cost.

    Moreover, according to the secret agreement reached with Hitler in Berlin, the German army occupied the European part of the Soviet Union, and the part east of the Ural Mountains belonged to the Republic of China. If the Ural Mountains were used as the boundary, the Soviet Union would not exist, which would arouse Stalin's anger.  There is a strong rebound, and with the mood of a dead end, maybe the war situation in Europe will change unexpectedly.

    After all, where is the national power of the Soviet Union? Moreover, in the future division of power, Tang Qiuli does not want to directly border Germany. There is a Soviet Union that has become a weak country and its territorial area is limited to the Asian part. It serves as a buffer zone with Germany.  , which is good for both himself and Hitler, just like the status of Mongolia and the former Soviet Union today.

    "If you don't push Stalin to a dead end, and leave a buffer zone in the future division of power, there are no permanent allies in the world. In the face of interests, allies can be found at any time."??Swordsmen facing each other!
