When Chiang Kai-shek got off the plane, the airport was extremely deserted, and only Belarus, who arrived in the well period, brought a few people to greet him at the airport. Iran is now a country, but China has no diplomatic relations with Iran. Before the outbreak of the war, Iran was like China and had a good relationship with Germany. The king of Iran supported Germany. After the outbreak of World War II, the king of Iran was preparing to join the Allied Powers to fight. The Soviet Union and Britain invaded Iran at the same time, expelled the king of Iran and made the king's son Pahlavi the new king. However, the Allied forces were not at ease with Iran. Britain occupied the southern part of Iran, the Soviet Union occupied the northern part of Iran, and Tehran was actually under the control of Britain.

Faced with such a deserted scene, Chiang Kai-shek was stunned for a moment. Bai Si and he came over and whispered to him that Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin had arrived. Roosevelt got off the plane and moved into the Soviet embassy, ​​but he invited Chiang Kai-shek to move into the US embassy.

When Chiang Kai-shek heard that Roosevelt had moved into the Soviet embassy, ​​he invited him to stay in the US embassy, ​​he couldn't help but wonder. Belarus immediately explained that there was intelligence on the Soviet side that Hitler sent a killer to assassinate the heads of four countries in Tehran.

"Is there such a thing?" Chiang Kai-shek was a little surprised. China did not have this information, but China's overseas intelligence agencies were very weak, and the military's tentacles had just reached Southeast Asia.

Bai Sitong smiled bitterly, and he also asked the British for confirmation that the British were also inexplicable, but Churchill hit it, and Uncle Joseph won the first round.

Although he was mentally prepared for the difficulties of the Tehran Conference, Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Mei-ling still did not expect that the situation would be so serious as soon as they set foot on the land of Tehran.

Chiang Kai-shek took off from Chongqing according to the plan, but he delayed two more days in India. In order to wait for Gandhi, who was dealing with religious disputes in Mumbai, he waited for two more days. Therefore, it was originally scheduled to be the first to arrive, but instead became the last to arrive. But as soon as Pu landed, he received bad news.

The group took the car sent by the US Embassy and drove towards the US Embassy. Along the way, Chiang Kai-shek observed the buildings in Tehran very carefully. "I found that the buildings in Tehran were very messy, with beggars everywhere in the city, and there was a lot of garbage on the street, which was far inferior to Chongqing.

"Chairman, wife, the meeting lasts for four days." Bai Sitong sat in the passenger seat, turned his head and said to Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Mei-ling: "The first meeting tomorrow morning will mainly discuss the matters of the European battlefield. According to the agreed in advance, we will not attend this meeting. The afternoon is the second meeting to discuss the situation in the Far East and the post-war planning of the Far East." Bai Sitong reported to Chiang Kai-shek's meeting arrangements. After the first day of the meeting, the European battlefield was discussed all day the next day, and the maintenance of post-war international peace on the third day. The United Nations was formed, and the Far East situation continued to discuss the situation in the Far East and the post-war Far East on the fourth morning.

After listening to it, Chiang Kai-shek breathed a sigh of relief. Judging from the arrangements of the meeting, "the other three countries still attach great importance to the battlefield in the Far East. The battlefield in the European is too far away from China." China does not want to and cannot interfere in Europe, but the Far East is closely related to China. Every step in the Far East may be an infringement of China's interests.

Chiang Kai-shek's convoy passed through the streets of Tehran. Roosevelt was in the small huā garden in the backyard of the Soviet embassy, ​​enjoying the sea breeze and the lazy sun in a lazy way. Stalin walked in through the porch.

Stalin was wearing the Kaji uniform of the Soviet Marshal today, wearing a Lenin medal and a labor medal on his chest, and a pair of long boots under his feet. Stalin held a pipe in his left hand and walked slowly to Roosevelt.

"Mr. President, did you have a good rest last night?" Stalin leaned forward slightly and stretched out his hand to Roosevelt.

"Very good, thank you very much." Roosevelt smiled and held Stalin's hand. Stalin sat down next to Roosevelt, and then habitually lit the pipe.

"Mr. Chairman, we have no news about German spies." Roosevelt said with a smile.

"What, don't you believe it?" Stalin was a little surprised.

"No, no, I think it's better to win Kursk than the Soviet Union should be respected by the US president." Roosevelt's expression was still relaxed: "I mean, in fact, I've already lived here."

"Fascist Germany suffered a great defeat in Kursk," Stalin did not continue to explain. Instead, he followed Roosevelt's words: "However, Hitler still has strong strength: According to our intelligence, Hitler transferred his elite troops in France to the Eastern battlefield, and the French defense line was very empty. If the Allies opened up a second battlefield in France at this time, it would definitely accelerate the failure of fascist Germany."

"I have always advocated landing in France, and we came here for this matter." Roosevelt did not say anything. During the Battle of Kursk, the Allies landed in Sicily, Italy, conquered Sicily, and the Mussolini government collapsed. After Italy's new Prime Minister Badolio came to power, he secretly contacted the Allies and negotiated a ceasefire.

In view of this, the Allies immediately landed in southern Italy after occupying Sicily. On September 3, the Italian government signed an armistice agreement. That night, the British Eighth Army forced its crossing the Strait of Messina and landed on the Apennine Peninsula. On September 8, Eisenhower and Bardoglio announced the Italian armistice through radio. On the 9th, the British and American allies landed in Salerno and marched towards the western coast of Italy, occupying Naples in one fell swoop. The German army, who had been prepared, immediately disarmed the Italian army and occupied Rome. The Italian royal family and government fled out of Rome in a hurry.

Then on the 13th, Hitler sent paratroopers to rescue Mussolini successfully. Mussolini immediately established a new Italian government in northern Italy, calling on the Italian people and the fascists to continue fighting. Bardoglio established a government in southern Italy and announced his participation in the allies in fighting against Germany. The governments of the United Kingdom, the United States and the Soviet Union immediately issued a statement, acknowledging that Italy was the side of the joint combat.

After Italy withdrew from the war, the allies' military operations in Italy were not smooth. Italy was a country with a gentle south and a mountainous north. The German army had long noticed that the Badolgolio government was making secret peace and prepared for it. Hitler drew eight divisions from France and the local area, plus the eight divisions originally in Italy, a total of sixteen divisions were "commanded by the Air Marshal Keselin" to establish a Gustav defense line in central Italy to block the Allies' heading north.

The shortest path from the Atlantic Ocean to Berlin is France, Stalin and Roosevelt understand this. "For several years, Stalin has repeatedly asked the Allies to land in France, but Churchill opposed it: on the contrary, Churchill proposed the Balkan strategy, believing that the Allies should land in the Balkans and invade the German land from Europe's soft lower abdomen.

However, Stalin and Roosevelt also knew that Churchill's strategy was not so much a strike against the German army, but more focused on post-war Europe. Churchill's goal was to seize the Balkans first, cut off the Soviet Union's path toward Europe, and prevent the Soviet Union's expansion in Europe.

Stalin didn't want to say about this strategy, and Roosevelt's attitude was ambiguous. When Churchill and Stalin telegraphed and argued endlessly, he came forward to become a peacemaker, first conquering North Africa and the Mediterranean coast, and clearing out the periphery of Europe. Now this problem is in front of him and can no longer be avoided.

Now Roosevelt expressed his attitude, and he supported landing in France. However, Stalin did not think that things would be so simple. Roosevelt squirted a puff of cigarette and asked, "Chairman Chiang Kai-shek has arrived today. The battlefield in the Far East has been progressing smoothly recently. The Soviet army has regained Ulaanbaatar and formed a pincer attack on the Japanese army in North China with the "Central Team", Mr. Chairman, what is your next battle plan in the Far East?" Stalin hurried gently, and did not answer immediately. Instead, he smoked the cigarette first, and he had a deep memory of Chiang Kai-shek. This man tricked him once more than ten years ago, almost causing him to lose in the dispute with Trotsky. It was his biggest crisis since he became the General Secretary of the Soviet Communist Party.

However, after September 18, the relationship between the two men improved significantly. As an excellent politician, he threw the unpleasant past behind his mind. The Japanese army invaded China and the Soviet Union one after another. The two countries improved rapidly. In order to support the Soviet-Russian battlefield, Chiang Kai-shek ordered an attack on the Japanese army, effectively restraining the Japanese army, which made Stalin particularly grateful.

Thanks for being grateful, with the emergence of the Japanese army, Stalin clearly felt China's ambition. The official mouthpiece of China publicly claimed to take back all the land lost in the late Qing Dynasty. Stalin certainly understood that China lost not only Taiwan's Penghu Islands, but also the more than one million square kilometers of land cut by Tsar Russia, and Mongolia that has not been recognized so far. These remarks aroused Stalin's great vigilance.

"Although our main battlefield is Hitler Germany," Stalin said carefully: "But the Russian team will launch an attack on the Japanese army in Mongolia and Mount Stanov. The attack time is set for next spring. This attack will definitely hit the Japanese army heavily."

Seeing Stalin in circles, Roosevelt smiled slightly: "China and the Soviet Union will be important guarantees for peace after the war in the Far East. I want to know, what do you think about the Far East after the war?" Stalin looked up and looked at Roosevelt solemnly: "Mr. President, Russia has major strategic interests in the Far East. We hope that the Mongolian people can get the **, we support the Korean people's fate of enslaved and regain the **, in addition, Russia should take back the four northern islands and the southern region of Sakhalin Island (i.e. Sakhalin Island) that were lost in the Russo-Japanese War. Finally, as a victorious country, Russia should obtain the right to station troops in Japan."

When saying this, Stalin kept staring at Roosevelt's face. China, the United States and Britain met in Cairo. They had definitely discussed the post-war Far East issue, but the news from the United States seemed to have nothing to do with Domestic and Russian, but Stalin did not believe it.

Seeing that Roosevelt had no words, Stalin forced him: "According to the Cairo Conference's decision, North Korea will be taken back by Ryukyu in Taiwan after the war. I wonder if Mr. Chiang Kai-shek has any other requests." Roosevelt did not directly answer Stalin, but continued to ask: "Do your country have any requirements for the Northeast region, that is, the Manchuria region mentioned in Japan?"

"The Northeast should be returned to China, which is China's territory, but Russia also has important interests there.

"Stalin thought about it and said that the battles displayed by the Chinese team in the past two years made Stalin look at him with admiration. For the post-war relationship between China and the Soviet Union, Stalin planned to give up his rights to the Northeast, including the Middle East Road.

Here we must explain Zhongdong Road. Zhongdong Road refers to the main line of the Middle East Railway from Manzhouli through Harbin to Suifenhe. This railway was built by Tsarist Russia in the late Qing Dynasty using China-Russia secret agreement. After the establishment of the Soviet government, the Soviet Union agreed to jointly manage Zhongdong Road with China and transfer local administrative, judicial, tax and other rights along the railway to China, but they deducted telegrams, astronomy, schools and other organizations.

It must be explained here that when foreign countries built railways in China, there were not only two railway tracks and the trains above, but also a series of rights such as local administrative power, exploration rights, public security rights, tax collection rights, and military garrison rights in the surrounding areas of the railway. Railways became a powerful tool for various countries to invade China.

After the Soviet Union seized these organizations, many disputes arose between China and the Soviet Union, which eventually led to the war between the Middle East and the Northeast Army and the defeat of the Northeast Army. Later, the two sides signed the Boli Agreement. The Soviet Union passed this agreement to collect almost all the original powers. After the September 18th Incident, the Soviet Union signed an agreement with Japan and the puppet Manchukuo in 1935, and sold the Middle East to Manchukuo for 140 million yen.

Stalin also made up his mind when he came to Tehran this time. The bottom line of the Soviet Union was to establish a new position, and to take back the four northern islands and the southern part of Sakhalin Island. As for the northeast, this is a good bargaining chip.

Roosevelt nodded silently, feeling a little relieved. At this meeting, China and the Soviet Union will have fierce conflicts on the Northeast and Mongolia issues. However, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is the battle between Britain and the Soviet Union on the second battlefield.

"I noticed that during Cairo's propaganda, I agreed to return China to Taiwan, Penghu, Ryukyu and other places, and the Northeast will also return to China. We support this propaganda." Stalin also felt at ease. In Cairo, China must have raised some situations that the United States did not report. This situation must be related to the interests of the Soviet Union, so he asked tentatively: "But Mr. President, what do you think about the Far East after the war?"
