Northern Shandong attracted Chongqing, Tokyo, and even Washington, thousands of miles away from the ocean, and Moscow. Hirohito stared at Dexian nervously. Roosevelt looked at the north bank of the Yellow River with interesting eyes. Stalin, who had just recovered from Kursk, held his pipe in his mouth and temporarily turned his eyes from the west to the east.

The Kremlin has tall and majestic palace walls, medieval palaces, and the streets of Moscow are few and far between, and appear relatively empty. The areas near the city are also homes destroyed by artillery fire. The municipal authorities do not have the time and manpower to organize these.

From the beginning of the war, the lights were rarely turned off in the office of the owner of the Kremlin. This was the heart of this huge empire, which managed the great empire across Europe and Asia.

The news from the East made Stalin very excited, and there was also a little worry. Now he no longer had to worry about the Japanese army continuing to attack. The Chinese and Americans had already held them firmly, but with the victory of China, another hidden worry emerged, the ancient issue.

After 1911, the central government of China never recognized its predecessors. In 1919, in the Soviet-Russian civil war, the Xu Shichang government took the opportunity to send troops to the Soviet Union to recover the predecessors. In 1920, the upper nobles of the ancient ancient colluded with the Soviet Union again. The Beiyang government announced that it would not recognize it. In 1928, the people were blamed for launching the return of the Chinese movement. This movement was cruelly suppressed by the Soviet troops. Qiaobashan surrendered to the Soviet Union. From then on, a Soviet Union became a vassal state that did not join the Soviet Union. In the international community, only Japan recognized the ancient government.

From the report of the Embassy in China, Stalin knew very well what was happening in China. He believed that the "China Team" had reversed the war. The battle on the north bank of the Yellow River would end with the victory of the "China Team".

"Comrade Huasilev" Do you know the current situation in China?" Stalin put the report in his hand on the table and looked up at Huasilev.

Huasilev is tall and one head taller than Stalin. He is currently the deputy of Marshal Shaboshnikov, but because Shaboshnikov has been suffering from a long-term problem, he is actually responsible for the work of the General Staff.

"The ancient front and the Far Eastern front have reported. According to the investigation and intelligence from the Chinese side, Japan has drawn a large number of troops from the ancient front and the Far Eastern front to the mainland. In view of this situation, Comrade Apaneseko proposed to launch an offensive battle in the ancient front and the Far Eastern front. "The purpose is to recover the ancient front and the ancient front and the ancient front."

Apanese University of Science and Technology is the commander of the ancient front army. The Soviet Union had 220,000 troops in this direction, and there were about 80,000 soldiers in ancient times. These troops were seriously lacking in technical weapons. There were only one brigade of tanks and few heavy artillery, mainly mortars and 70-mountain cannons. "There are very few aircraft, and most of the Soviet Union's weapons were consumed on the Soviet-German battlefield.

"General Pulkayev, commander of the Far Eastern Front, also requested that the General Staff of Ustinuk be reviewed how much material it would need to mobilize to launch such an attack. Now the Far Eastern and the ancient capitals are seriously short of materials."

Compared with the ancient front, the Far Eastern Front had a slightly larger force, only 300,000, but the front line was much wider. And there was also a serious lack of technical weapons. The ancient front had at least a tank brigade, and the Far Eastern Front had no tank.

Stalin was silent, put his pipe in his mouth, paced back and forth in the room, and quickly calculated in his heart. "The Soviet army turned to a counterattack in Kursk, and the Western Front and Bryansk Front were attacking Oryor and Belgorod, while the situation of the Southwest Front was more complicated. "The German army's tenacious resistance made the Soviet army slow to progress. "The battle in the Belgorod region showed that "the German army still had a strong force, and our main focus should be on the Western Front. However, since there were fighter jets on the Eastern Front, we should not give up. I think we can launch a limited attack in Méng Gu to see how weak the Japanese are. You arrange it and provide some supplies to the east to ensure the victory of the offensive battle. This will be our first victory in the East."

Stalin's tone was firm and powerful, and his left hand was swayed slightly at the same time, indicating that he was full of confidence in the victory of this battle.

Huasilevsky nodded quickly and agreed. Since Stalin had decided, the General Staff could only implement it. Of course, there were no ones who dared to argue with Stalin, Zhukov was one, but he, Huasilevsky, was not Zhukov.

After Huasilevsky left, Stalin returned to his desk, picked up another document and looked at it. It was a document sent by the People's Committee of Foreign Affairs and was a memorandum. Roosevelt and Churchill proposed to Stalin that they hoped to hold a meeting as soon as possible to coordinate the military and political actions of both sides.

After the Cairo Conference, Roosevelt sent a special envoy to Moscow to inform him of the spirit of the Cairo Conference. Stalin accepted the Cairo Conference's decision in principle, but was also dissatisfied. First, the Cairo Conference did not propose to return the Sakhalin Island of the Soviet Union and the Chiba Islands to the Soviet Union: Secondly, the occupation of Japan and Japan after the war did not mention the Soviet Union; finally, the most important thing is that the ancient issue, and the Cairo Conference did not discuss the ancient issue. Stalin believed that the ancient should be as powerful as North Korea and be recognized by the world.

His dissatisfaction soon reached Washington, and this memorandum was Roosevelt's reply. Roosevelt suggested that Baghdad or Tehran hold a four-nation summit to comprehensively coordinate the political strategies and strategies between the allies. In view of the current situation in China, I suggest that the meeting should invite generals to participate. China is an important force in fighting against Japanese fascism and an important force in maintaining post-war world peace."

Stalin understood that this was Roosevelt's response to his repeated hints that China has not yet been on par with the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union. Of course, Stalin did not want ** to participate. There were important issues, which was the ancient issue.

However, now changes need to be made, Stalin wrote a few words in the blank space: "Agree, suggest that in Tehran, O, Vistalin."

After putting down the document, Stalin rang the bell, and the adjutant pushed the door and came in. Stalin said to him: "Please Comrade Belia come over."

Beria, the most terrifying person in the Soviet Union, his KGB controlled the entire Soviet Union. Only Stalin could face him calmly and call him like a dog. The KGB only took five minutes from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to the arrival of the KGB. No one in the Soviet Union dared to let Stalin wait for a long time.

"Comrade Belia, after the prosperous times arrived in Chongqing" What was the situation with Comrade Ahemaitijiang and Ailikhan?"

Ahemaitijiang and Ailikhan are the national leader of the Ili region of Xinjiang. The Soviet Union not only has the ancient issues in China but also the Xinjiang issue. The origin of the Xinjiang issue can be related to the 1920s. The Soviet Union began to intervene in Xinjiang and instigated the rebellion in the Ashan area in the 1930s. During the prosperous month, the Soviet Union took the opportunity to expand its influence in Tacheng Ashan Ili and other regions. Through the United Communist Party members and Uyghur national elements in Xinjiang, they gained the rule of these areas, and even established a quasi-military force.

"Their situation has developed very well. After the ** army entered Xinjiang, the former Sheng Shicai's army was gradually transferred from Xinjiang. The Chinese government transferred the Sichuan Army and the Central Army into Xinjiang. The situation is more beneficial to us. The ** army is very scattered. After the war broke out, the supplies we provided to Comrade Ahemaitijiang stopped."

Belia looked at Stalin while talking. Seeing Stalin frowning slightly, this situation showed that he had a decision in his heart that it was difficult to make. Belia understood that this decision must be targeted at China.

"Germany has restrained our strength, and we are difficult to act in the Far East," Stalin said carefully: "The Japanese army occupied the Méng Gu, and the Chinese team had the possibility of attacking the Méng Gu, and we must prevent this from happening.

Belia immediately understood what Stalin wanted to do. He said calmly: "Yes, Comrade Stalin, ** imposed heavy taxes in Xinjiang, which aroused the anger of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang. "I am worried that there will be violent incidents in Xinjiang, so I suggest resuming the provision of supplies to Comrade Ahemaitijiang. "Armed them as soon as possible so that they can protect themselves."

Stalin nodded and added: "From the current perspective, the combat effectiveness of the Chinese team is still very strong, and it is difficult to achieve results with their own strength alone. I suggest that a regiment of infantry is drawn from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and a tank regiment and a flight regiment to enter the Sino-Russian border."

"I understand." Belia knew Stalin's plan: "I think something will happen in Xinjiang next spring."

Stalin calculated that he had just decided to meet with Roosevelt Churchill in Tehran in the autumn. Before that, Xinjiang should remain calm. If the results of the Tehran meeting are not satisfactory, then something should happen in Xinjiang.

Tokyo is already in bleak autumn. In Ueno's park, the paths are covered with fallen leaves. In previous years, many people have always come here to watch chrysanthemums, but this year there are few tourists, and only a few women with parasols wander around the park. Now most residents in Tokyo have to participate in military training. No matter men and women, as long as they are sixteen or more years old, they have to pick up wooden guns and participate in military training organized by the community.

The atmosphere in Tokyo has been obviously abnormal recently. In the past, the imperial army swept the world, and the newspapers were full of victories. However, in recent times, the news in the newspapers was full of changes and turns. The imperial army moved from Wuhan to Zhengzhou, and then to Xinxiang. Now it has moved to Shijiazhuang. After comparing readers, the pace of the imperial army is almost the same as in 1939. At that time, the imperial army also stayed north of the Yellow River.

The battle situation in northern Shandong was in crisis. Yukihito was anxious and asked Neishi to put a huge map in his room, marking the latest progress on the map every day. He watched the blue arrows on the map move northward, and the red arrows struggled in the blue circle.

At the base camp, the battle situation in Lubei has already shut up all the opponents of Ishihara Kanir, but Ishihara Kanir still feels difficult to perform and makes it difficult to do it. The reason is very simple. Although these officers no longer oppose it openly, they are still obstructing his decision in secret.

"Your Majesty, General Manager, now we have to make a choice, want North China or Jiangnan?" At the joint meeting of the Imperial College, Ishihara Kanirou walked towards Hirohito and Koiko Akira to ask questions, but his eyes stared at Sugiyama Moto.

To North China, we must give up Jiangnan and transport all the Jiangnan army to North China by sea, and even Manchuria: To South China, we must give up North China. Ishihara Kaner has concluded that the Shandong battle has failed, and it would be good that half of the troops participating in the battle in northern Shandong can come back. Next, North China has seriously insufficient troops, where will it take to replenish its troops?
