Chapter 12 I don't care how many years to fight
Chu Sinan, who was far away in Tehran, knew everything that happened in Moscow. After all, such things cannot be hidden from others. Even those intelligence organizations of Americans and British people, I believe they know everything that happened there.
There is no doubt that from the 20th, the whole world has been staring at Moscow. If a coup broke out in a country like the Soviet Union, it would not be a trivial matter. It directly affects the direction of the overall international situation. For the United States and Britain, what is happening in Moscow is that they have seven parts of expectations and three parts of nervousness.
The current situation is already very obvious. Chu Sinan is undoubtedly a very iron-blooded person. If he holds the power of the Soviet Union, then at least in the next few years, the Soviet Union's foreign policy will change the previous policy of almost closing the country, and instead start to fight back against the Western world in large numbers, and even seek hegemony. Therefore, from this perspective, the United States and Britain absolutely hope that this coup in Moscow can be successful, because only in this way can Chu Sinan, a strong soldier-born figure, avoid taking over the power of the Soviet Union.
But then again, a coup is never that simple. No matter which country, what it has to face after a coup is often a protracted civil war. At present, the Soviet Union, as the main force in the anti-Germany, must not have turmoil, otherwise, it will be a disaster for the entire Europe. It is undeniable that in the war that lasted for nearly three years, the Germans had consumed a lot of living forces, but they still had millions of troops, and such a large-scale army. In addition to the Soviets being able to deal with it, relying solely on the British and American coalition forces would not be able to end the war in a short period of time. And once something happens to the Soviet Union, what would Hitler do? There is no doubt that as long as he is still a little smart, he will definitely withdraw more troops from the Eastern Front to deal with the British and American allied forces. What will the entire war go by then? It is an unknown.
In this kind of uneasiness, the United States and Britain delayed the meeting schedule. They hoped to wait until the situation in Moscow stabilized before making further arrangements. However, compared with the decision makers of the United States and Britain, Chu Sinan himself, who was in the whirlpool, was not worried at all, as if it was completely someone else's business and had nothing to do with him.
Fortunately, on the 25th, everything was clear and the truth was revealed. Chu Sinan, who was in Tehran, even had an interest in asking questions, and everything there was settled. What does this mean? There is no doubt that this can only mean that Chu Sinan is deeply rooted in the Soviet Union. At least for now, there is no one in the Soviet Union to compete with him. What happened in the Soviet Union later made everyone realize the absolute prestige of the "Red God of War" on that land. The Moscow Incident that attracted the attention of the whole world did not cause any turmoil in the Soviet Union. The Soviet people obviously did not care about this kind of thing at all, but in the military. The military maintained an absolute silence on this incident, and no one came out to make any statement. The atmosphere felt as if nothing had happened.
However, the Soviet Union did not respond to this matter, which did not mean that some foreign media would not respond. From the beginning of the turmoil in Moscow, media such as the United States and Britain began to stare at the east side. When the curtain fell, the media became even more crazy, such as "a dictatorship similar to fascism", "tyranny without any democracy" and so on, and a lot of hats were slapped on the Soviet Union's head. And Chu Sinan also turned from the well-known "Red God of War" that was once known as Hitler and Mussolini to become a dictator and ambitious man.
To be honest, Chu Sinan felt very unhappy about the repeated publicity reports in these media in the United Kingdom and the United States, and he was about to lose his temper...
In the golden hall of Pahlavi Palace, Chu Sinan leaned on a luxurious dark green soft chair with an angry face, staring at the guys opposite him with bright eyes, a translator from the security committee, sat behind him in a hurry, translating what the two guys said just now to him.
Opposite Chu Sinan, across the spacious palace hall, Roosevelt, who was unable to move, and Churchill, who was even more "inconvenient" to move, were also sitting on the same soft chair. The big cigar in the latter was still emitting wisps of blue smoke.
Today is the fourth day of the official meeting of Tehran. According to the agenda, we should reach recognition from all parties on the handling of post-war Germany and post-war Japan. But what was unexpected to Roosevelt and Churchill was that the young soldier opposite them, who was about to become the first in the Soviet Union, had a stir before the meeting. He asked that the problems within an alliance be resolved before the parties reached an agreement.
Of course, the meeting itself is to resolve the conflict of interest between countries through consultation. Since it is consultation, everyone must discuss it together. Therefore, it is understandable that Chu Sinan raises the question. But the main problem now is that his request made Roosevelt and Churchill quite embarrassed, and this issue is essentially nothing to do with this Tehran Conference. What exactly is the problem raised by Chu Sinan? It is very simple. He asked the two governments to calm down the various slander of the Soviet government by their domestic newspapers and magazines.
It is obvious that the demand made by Chu Sinan was not so easy to pass by Roosevelt and Churchill. On the one hand, the US and Britain were different from the Soviet Union. The newspapers and radio stations that were large consortiums, and even the presidents, the prime minister could not forcefully suppress their speech without reason. On the other hand, the negative propaganda of the Soviet Union was also what these two and the top leaders of the two governments wanted to see. For them, the Soviet red regime was a potential threat, and their revolutionary output was extremely dangerous. Such negative reports could suppress the rising trend of the domestic "red movement" to a certain extent. Therefore, Churchill, who has always played the role of a black-faced person, rejected Chu Sinan's proposal on the grounds that he had no right to interfere in freedom of speech and that this was his domestic affairs.
"Hmph," After listening to the translation's instructions, Chu Sinan snorted coldly. He glanced at the two old foxes opposite him, casually took out a cigarette from his pocket and put it in his mouth. The translator behind him immediately stood up and lit it for him.
"Mr. Prime Minister, the government has no right to interfere in the freedom of news and speech. Ha, what you said is too high-sounding, right?" Chu Sinan said slowly, "As far as I know, it seems that the Prime Minister and your cabinet had just interfered in the freedom of news and speech you mentioned, right?"
Churchill's bloated body was curled up in the soft chair. When the translator told him this, he frowned, but said nothing.
"Why, do you want me to remind you?" Chu Sinan said with a hint of sneer, "Just six months ago, your government did a shameless and despicable thing in Myanmar, southern China. It was a coincidence that a military reporter named Elm in your country, accidentally learned about the whole story of the dirty incident. Oh, how righteous this reporter was. He wrote a 12,000-word press release and planned to publish this article in the Times he served. This is a very important manuscript. If it can be published, I think the whole world will be shocked. There is no doubt that, in that case, it is expensive.
The government will lose all face, and Mr. Prime Minister, and Mr. President, the firm and fearless anti-fascist image in front of the world may be severely hit? So, on that dark and windy night, your country's agents sneaked into Mr. Elm's residence. Ha, the next day, Mr. Elm became a dead body in his bed, but the cause of death was a heart disease that he had never had a case. Of course, that righteous and stern press release will disappear quietly. Ha, it is such a strange thing. Mr. Prime Minister, please tell me, is this practice also to protect the so-called freedom of the press?"
Churchill's fat face looked indifferent, but his heart skipped a beat. This matter was obviously an omission from the British Intelligence Department. There was no doubt that Soviet spies had sneaked into the Intelligence Department. However, he also knew that such things were absolutely inevitable. And judging from the current situation, since they dared to reveal this news, it meant that they didn't care about investigating themselves. The intelligence personnel of any country were always single-line contacts. Perhaps at this time, they had already removed the line of obtaining this intelligence.
"First, I asked my allies to send troops to help the war, and at the same time I ordered my army to retreat in large quantities. Not only that, even the air force that obviously had the advantage was transferred to North Africa, using the allies' troops as cannon fodder to win time for their troops' retreat. Haha, such a group of shameless scum also talked about freedom and democracy in front of me. Wouldn't our old opponent, Mr. Hitler, have become an angel-like kind person?" Chu Sinan sneered at his opponent without hesitation. He knew that in this conference room, he was qualified to sneer at the stubborn anti-Soviet fat man in front of him, and there was also a reason to sneer at him. This conference room is not big, but it can determine the future of the world to some extent. What is being carried out here is also an international game, which is very bad. On the stage of the game, only the strong have room for words.
Facing the two people in front of him, Chu Sinan, who represented the Soviet Union, had absolute say, and in his opinion, Churchill, who represented the British, had no right to bargain with him at all. Before the war, this declining empire that was unwilling to be lonely colluded with Germany and Italy in Europe and Japan in Asia, was simply a complete fascist. In the war, it was powerless to face Germany in Europe, and Japan in Asia, it was also powerless to face Japan in Asia. In a battle on the Indochina Peninsula, more than 100,000 fully armed so-called royal soldiers were killed by tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers and abandoned their armor, cried and called their parents, turned their heads, but they were disdainful of the anti-Japanese war that China had persisted for several years. It was true that Chu Sinan had seen something that was self-righteous, but it was the first time he had encountered something that was so shameless.
"Ahem, okay, okay, two," Roosevelt, who had been sitting in his seat silently, waved the crutch in his hand at this time, and after a dry cough, he said. "I don't think we need to do too much entanglement on such non-critical issues. Prime Minister, I think what Mr. Chu said has some truth. Now we are allies. In this case, the newspapers in our country have done a bit too much. Their reports are not in line with reality and seriously hurt the friendship within our anti-fascist alliance. So, it is necessary to impose some constraints on them to a certain extent. After all, we cannot attack our allies in their respective newspapers and magazines under the premise of cooperation. This is not good. I agree with Mr. Chu's proposal to restrain the remarks of domestic American media as much as possible. Well, Prime Minister. What do you mean?"
"Okay, I can try my best," Churchill shrugged with a thick cigar in his mouth. Since Roosevelt had made concessions, it would be meaningless to continue to persevere. In this case, compromise with the Soviets would be the best choice.
"Haha, Mr. Chu shouldn't have any more opinions on this issue, right?" Roosevelt turned his gaze to Chu Sinan and said with a smile. "It should be like this," Chu Sinan had already learned the other party's compromise from the translator, and he sneered.
"Okay. Can we discuss the formal agenda of the meeting next?" Roosevelt said, turning his head to a follower behind him, who turned around knowingly. A few minutes later, the guy placed a wide map on the large conference table reserved in the center of the hall.
Chu Sinan knew without looking at it, what kind of map it was. In the next time, he would work with the two guys opposite him to build a world pattern for decades after the war on this map.
"Come on, two," Roosevelt stood up from his seat with a cane, and without the support of his entourage, he walked tremblingly to the table where the map was placed.
Chu Sinan glanced at Churchill opposite him, snorted, slowly stood up, and walked to the square table.
At this time, the table was indeed a map covering the entire Europe and East Asia. Through this map, the topography and landforms of Eastern Europe and major countries in East Asia are undoubtedly displayed. This made Chu Sinan a little curious. You should know that at this time, there were no so-called satellites in the sky, and the map taken directly by satellites naturally could not exist. The preciseness of the map in front of me was enough to surprise. I really don’t know how the Americans drew it.
"Two gentlemen," seeing Churchill and the troubled Chu Sinan all stood in front of the map, Roosevelt pointed to the European part on the map, and then said, "I think everyone should have read the terms listed in our draft meeting before. If you have any different opinions, please put them out now and we can do further negotiations."
Although Roosevelt said "you", his eyes only fell on Chu Sinan. It was obvious that he had a certain degree of tacit understanding between him and Churchill. At present, there was no problem if Chu Sinan agreed.
"I only have two small problems," Chu Sinan took out a cigarette again, put it in the gap between the two fingers of the right hand, then glanced at the map, and lit it carelessly with the cigarette roll, and said, "That's what I hope is that the Prime Minister can make a little compromise and give us this place, here, and here."
The place where Chusinan's cigarette rolls clicked was exactly the southern Romania region that Britain sought, as well as Greece and Finland. The southern Romania region had abundant oil resources. During the entire World War II, a large part of the oil resources needed by the German army were provided by Romania. Greece is located in the southern part of the Balkans and is bordered by the vast Mediterranean Sea, and its strategic position is extremely important. Of course, Finland is naturally the fastest corridor to enter the hinterland of the Soviet Union, and its important location along the Baltic Sea has always been a worry for the Russians.
"Mr. Chu, are you Soviets so much appetite? Don't you feel that such a request is unfair?" Churchill said bluntly.
"Hmph, Mr. Prime Minister, our appetite is the same as the price we have paid. As for the unfairness you said, I can't understand it even more." Chu Sinan even felt in a vain look at the fat man. He shook his head and said, "In this war, we not only resisted the attacks of the Germans, but also resisted the attacks of the Norwegians, Romanians, Finns, Italians, and Czechs alone. To put it bluntly, at least more than half of the troops of the Germans and their servants were restrained by us on the battlefield on the Eastern Front of Europe. If this were not the case, the Prime Minister would probably be no longer qualified to sit here and talk to us about the future?"
"Ha, Mr. Chu is so eloquent," Churchill smiled exaggeratedly, and then said, "To apply your logic, if it weren't for the Royal Air Force of our British Empire to restrain the German planes on the Western Front, then the current situation of you Soviets would probably not be so optimistic, right?"
"Okay, okay, you two don't need to argue about these things," Roosevelt always looked like a peacemaker. To be honest, if it weren't for this president, the Soviets would probably never sit with Britain. "After all, our purpose is to negotiate, not to argue..."
"There is nothing to negotiate," Chu Sinan obviously did not take that trick. He waved his hand, "This is what we ask in Europe. I believe that the two should also know the current battlefield situation on the Eastern European Front. In less than a few months, our millions of Red Army will launch a comprehensive counterattack against the Germans on the entire front, and in all places we liberated, the red flag of the Soviet regime will be set up. This will be an irreversible torrent. Humph, I can negotiate our future issues with the two at the conference table, and make preparations for us to find the battlefield. In order to achieve our goals, our Red Army will not be afraid to fight for a few more years. You two may as well think carefully."
