Chapter 719 Heroes do not rely on luck, they have their own bearing
At this point, Trotsky knew that no matter how pretentious he was, what was the use?! He took the agreement from Ribbentrop with a gloomy face and signed his name on it tremblingly.
Ribbentrop smiled after Trotsky signed and signed his name. Then he said to Trotsky and others: "Then, in a month I will send someone to take over the oil field.
and mines. Don’t worry, we will deliver your weapons.”
After saying this, Ribbentrop left the absent-minded Trotsky and others and happily left the hotel.
Ribbentrop knew that his contribution this time was huge! Germany's biggest weakness at present is resources, rare metals, steel raw materials and oil!
The most critical of these is oil. Currently, Germany's largest oil source is the Ploiesti oil field in Romania. This is followed by oil purchased from the three eastern provinces.
However, oil has crossed the entire ocean, and the transportation cost and volume are very small. Germany also considers that its navy is not strong, and it will definitely be intercepted by the naval powers Britain and France during wartime.
Therefore, the three northeastern provinces are not regarded as the only source of oil. Rare metals and steel are even worse. Almost all of them are purchased from Sweden, France and the three northeastern provinces.
Ukraine had been completely carved up as early as World War I, and most of it was incorporated into the Soviet Union in the form of alliances. Most of the oil fields and mines that emerged in the negotiations were there!
Now that Germany has reasonably annexed Austria, not far from Czechoslovakia is the partitioned Ukraine. There are extremely rich resources there, including rare metals, steel and oil that are scarce in Germany!
Nikopol in central Ukraine has the world's second largest manganese mine, and there are rich iron ore reserves nearby! These are all making Germany salivate. Being able to reach this agreement Ribbentrop will undoubtedly make Hitler look high. At the same time, his
Location will also be more important!
At this time, Germany's constant actions also attracted the attention of a person. He asked someone to come to Germany with his own handwritten letter to seek cooperation. His goal
, was to occupy the areas inhabited by his kingdom in Czechoslovakia and Romania.
On October 30, Marshal Blyucher, Stalin's representative of the Soviet Union, jointly issued an announcement on behalf of the Soviet Union and the three eastern provinces. Blyucher claimed that "in order to fulfill Comrade Lenin's last wish, we will transfer to the three eastern provinces the items that were occupied by the Tsarist Russia during the period."
All territories totaling more than one million square kilometers, including Sakhalin Island, have been re-determined and the two sides can coexist peacefully."
Even, Blyucher said in the communique: "This is the biggest difference between the Soviet Union and capitalism, imperialism and colonialism. Our struggle is for the welfare of all mankind, for fairness and justice! Comrade Lenin said this during his lifetime
He has repeatedly declared in public that all unequal treaties imposed by Tsarist Russia on the Chinese people will be invalidated..."
It’s always a declaration in a communiqué! You can say it however you want, and Lenin did say this in public and in some bulletins.
Although Trotsky had already received the news, he was still furious when he saw these explicit messages! Yes, Lenin did say these words, but it was because he was blocked by capitalism at the time that he raised them in a high profile.
But in the subsequent second Potsdam Declaration, all these clauses were cancelled, and Lenin never mentioned these words again. Comrade Lenin even said in private: Vladivostok is ours! No one will give it to us!
But this is okay if we talk about it in private, but if we say it clearly, it would violate Trotsky's own theory of "permanent revolution". At the same time, it also seriously violates the concept of the so-called "Comintern".
There are many things that can be done or even done openly but must not be said. You can just deceive other people with words such as "the welfare of all mankind". If you, a person in this industry, believe it, you are a fool!
Trotsky and others knew what Stalin wanted, but on the surface they could not find fault with Stalin! But if they remained silent on this matter, it seemed as if they had no say.
Trotsky and others were so anxious that they were exhausted. However, they cannot be blamed for this. If their political skills could reach Stalin's level, they would just be knocked out of power one by one by Stalin.
If Stalin were in their position, there is no doubt that the first thing to do is to ensure his authority to unite or to eliminate different voices. The next thing to do is to directly kill his opponent!
Now that the deal has been made, it is useless to say anything. What will be useful is to do something. If Stalin was in Trotsky's position, he would not hesitate to launch a strong attack!
The mobilization was even better. It simply said: "The xxx reactionaries betrayed the interests of the Soviets! Taking Comrade Lenin's good intentions, he exchanged arms with a warlord leader, a dictatorial reactionary, and a lackey of the capitalists to massacre the Soviet people! This is shameful!"
This is despicable! He will become the sinner of the Soviet Union! Let us destroy him on behalf of the Soviet Union and the Soviet people!"
Then it is to take advantage of the existing equipment and continuously charge with various ULA! Even if there is no way to defeat the opponent for the time being, we will try to consume the opponent's power to the maximum and prevent him from using all the weapons he has traded to form an absolute superior force to eliminate himself.
It is a pity that Trotsky was not a decisive person like Stalin after all. In constant hesitation, he missed the opportunity. Regardless of ancient and modern times, many people do not understand one truth: success does not happen by chance.
Indeed, there is a certain amount of luck involved in their success. But if they rely entirely on luck, they will have to die in the end. Pattern, mind, character and knowledge, these are the real benchmarks that determine the size of a person's achievements.
Even if Trotsky was given 10,000 chances, he could not defeat Stalin. The reason is simple: he did not have Stalin's political skills and Stalin's decisiveness in killing.
Stalin did have many shortcomings, but his extremely clever political skills and determination were enough to make him successful.
In fact, looking back at Chang Shenkai Gong, he did not lack the means to kill decisively. He also did not lack clever political skills, but it was a pity that he was not as good as Stalin in terms of mind and political structure.
The serious comprador ideology and the composition of the political system under his command determine that he will not be like Stalin, who knows how to use various resources to continuously deepen his industrial base and research and development level.
In fact, looking back at the history of that era, you will be surprised to find out why Chang Shenkai and some of his generals were so afraid of foreign adults?!
Regardless of whether they are Asians or Westerners, it seems that as long as they are foreigners, Nanjing will always be reasonable and inferior. This contrast with the later Yang Ziren and others is extremely sharp.
Yang Ziren and others seem to be afraid of nothing, not the Japanese, the Americans or even the Soviets. Or to put it more directly: Yang Ziren and others have fought against all the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council. And there has not been a single one.
It was defeated!
The more than ten countries that resisted U.S. aggression and aided Korea drank in hatred, France retreated in Vietnam. The British Amethyst was hit by mountain cannons and ran aground, the cry on Zhenbao Island, and Chang Shenkai who finally died on the island. It seemed that Yang Ziren and He were really not seen.
His colleagues feared him at all times.
If you call this arrogance, it can be seen that these countries, which seemed to be so much stronger than Yang Ziren and others, finally chose to retreat in the duel, which shows that they did not take advantage.
Looking at what the two said when they dealt with powerful enemies at different times, we may be able to see some clues about the differences between the two.
"Until peace reaches a period of despair, we will never give up on peace, and we will never sacrifice lightly until the last moment." This was Chiang Zhongzheng's speech at the Fifth National Congress of the National People's Congress in Nanjing in November 1935.
"How long does it take to fight? I don't think we should make the decision. In the past it was Truman, in the future it will be Eisenhower, or some future president of the United States. It is up to them to decide. We will fight as long as they want, and keep fighting."
To complete victory!!"
This is Yang Ziren’s speech during the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea. It is simple, direct, and clear! The different temperaments and patterns of the two people, and even their minds, determine whether these two people can stand in Peking and watch the United States’ first ceasefire negotiation without victory.
Sign on.
The other one can only live on the island forever, providing some comfort by constantly organizing various counterattack plans that he actually knows are impossible to achieve, and then finally dies sadly.
Chang Shenkai may have never let the British take a high look at him in his life. But the British, who were beaten by Yang Ziren's artillery fire, seemed to realize something. In January 1950, they became the first to recognize Yang Ziren.
and his comrades in arms founded the country of the West.
If you look back at Yang Ziren and Stalin, you will be surprised to find that one of the great similarities between these two people is the constant pursuit of self-reliance. Stalin's contribution to the heavy industry of the Soviet Union is indelible, and the same Yang Ziren's efforts in building the country's industrial base
Indispensable contribution.
Back in 1937, after receiving the agreement signed by Stalin himself, Tu Qianjun smiled slightly and asked the National Defense Forces troops staying in Mongolia to transport all the weapons there.
Almost all of these fighter jets have been used by the National Defense Forces for some time. They were originally intended to be used for modification, but now that they can be sold, it is naturally the best. Several aircraft are working overtime to produce new fighter jets.
The output of three hundred aircraft a month is enough to replace the old Tiger Sharks.
"Xiao Chen, please don't follow me after a while!" Tu Qianjun turned to Liu Yunjiao behind him and said with a smile, and Liu Yunjiao couldn't help but become anxious after hearing this! He turned to Tu Qianjun with red eyes and said: "Commander!
You don’t want me anymore?! I... what did I do wrong?! You said, I will change! Isn’t it enough if I change?! Don’t drive me away..."
Seeing Liu Yun's anxious look, Tu Qianjun laughed, patted him on the shoulder and said: "What are you thinking about?! Why are you always following me?! Go to the military academy to learn things, and then go to the battlefield to practice. This is the right thing to do."
!I have made arrangements for you, you will go to the National Defense University tomorrow!"
Chapter completed!
