Chapter 288 Su-German Non-Aggression Agreement (Plus 2, Ask for a Monthly Ticket)
Molotov, the No. 2 figure in Stalin's team, came to Berlin enough to show Stalin's importance to German relations, and the German side also dispatched Hitler's No. 2 figure, Cyric, to greet him. German Foreign Minister Ribbentrop also attended the meeting.
"Our two countries have maintained friendly relations since the First World War." Molotov said to Cyric: "Now, we want to deepen this relationship. Both of us are peace-loving and do not want to They face each other with swords and arms, so the purpose of my visit this time is to sign a non-aggression agreement with you."
Cyric nodded: "We are very touched by your friendliness. We have been cooperating with each other over the years, and we also look forward to our peaceful coexistence."
Historically, the German foreign minister went to Moscow and signed this agreement, but now, the situation and history have changed a lot.
Germany started its expansion earlier and has a closer relationship with the Soviet Union. The Spanish Civil War has long since ended, especially since Germany has not built warships for the Soviet Union. All this made the Soviet Union a little anxious.
In the Far East, the Soviet Union also felt the danger. Japan seemed to be heading north. The Soviet Union wanted to appease the West.
In particular, the Soviet Union saw that Germany had expanded such a large territory, and the Soviet Union had not achieved much, so it was already ready to move.
Cyric's words can represent Hitler. Now, the two sides have started negotiations on specific details in a friendly atmosphere.
In the end, after half a day of negotiations, five agreements were reached.
1. The contracting parties undertake not to use force, aggression or attack against each other, alone or in combination with other countries.
2. If one Contracting Party is at war with a third country, the other Contracting Party shall not give any support to the third country.
3. The Contracting Parties shall never join any group of States which directly or indirectly opposes the other Contracting Party.
4. The parties shall settle all disputes between the contracting states by peaceful means.
5. The treaty is valid for 10 years.
Molotov breathed a sigh of relief. The matter was half finished, and the issue was temporarily suspended. On the German side, a delicious lunch was prepared.
Especially looking at the wine on the table, Molotov felt a burst of excitement.
Every Maozi is addicted to alcohol, and Molotov is no exception. Now, watching Cyric raise his glass, Molotov drank three glasses without courtesy.
"Cheers to our peace!" Cyric raised the fourth cup and said to Molotov: "I think we can add a subsidiary agreement to our agreement, for example, let's redraw our borders how?"
Redistricting boundaries? The two countries are not adjacent at all, so where is the need to demarcate the border? Molotov was excited for a while, and the Germans also thought of it?
It's really good to have a glass of wine and talk while drinking.
So, at the wine table, Molotov and Cyric divided the boundaries of the two sides again.
The two sides are divided by the northern border of Lithuania on the Baltic Sea coast and the Narew, Vistula and San rivers in Poland. In other words, the whole of Poland will be divided into two. It turns out that Germany has already thought about it!
"As long as the Soviet Union is the first to send troops, we will also start from the West. Together, our two countries will wipe out the evil Poland from Europe." Ciric said.
The wine was a bit high. Molotov listened to Cyric's words, as if he was instructed by Stalin, so he nodded and signed the secret agreement at the wine table.
After sobering up, he realized that something was wrong. In this agreement, there was one item that the Soviets couldn't handle, and that was the Soviet Union first!
He patted his dazed head, feeling that he was caught in a German trick!
This is the morning of the second day. Lao Maozi is famous for his love of drinking. He goes crazy when he drinks. It’s normal to beat his wife. They love to drink, but it doesn’t necessarily mean that they can drink. They just drank ten cups yesterday. Just got drunk until now.
Cyric felt amused in his heart. After showing this agreement to Hitler yesterday, Hitler was also a good planner of Quasiric.
The Soviet Union wanted to attack Poland and could not wait for a long time, but the Soviets had no excuses. On the surface, the Soviets had to maintain relations with Britain and France.
If Germany makes the first move, the Soviet Union will definitely come to take a bite, and if the Soviet Union makes the first move, they have to think about it.
Hitler accepted Cyric's proposal. To fight Poland, you must not be in a hurry. You must make all the preparations. As long as you fight Poland, World War II will officially start!
With the integration of Czech military enterprises, the imperial army has truly become the strongest in this era. Only when there is quantity and quality, can we do it!
Just wait another year or two! At that time, Germany will use half a year to sweep across Europe!
Molotov was still a little dizzy. He put the agreement in the briefcase and signed it. How can I change it? How can I explain it to Stalin after I go back?
At this moment, Cyric said, "Mr. Molotov, today, I will take you to our shipyard. Now that the slipway is vacant, we can build an aircraft carrier for you."
In an instant, Molotov's mind was completely awake. When he came, Stalin explained this matter! Now, the Germans are really giving face, and actually want to build it for themselves?
There has to be something good for the Soviets, some hope. Now, it is best to tie them down with an aircraft carrier.
In recent years, the German navy has also been violent. The aircraft carrier Graf Zeppelin has officially entered service, and the carrier-based aircraft are also fully equipped, and they are trained at sea almost every day.
The No. 2 aircraft carrier has also been launched. In the final outfitting stage, the slipway will be vacated, and the third aircraft carrier will be built.
This third aircraft carrier, nominally, was built for the Soviets. As for whether the Soviets could finally get it, I don't know.
"Let's go and have a look." Molotov burst into enthusiasm in an instant.
Aircraft carrier! The Soviets have never given up the development of the navy. Unfortunately, with the national strength of the Soviets, the first heavy battleship Soviet-class is still in the final stage of program demonstration, and has not really started to be manufactured.
As for the aircraft carrier, it signed an agreement with Germany at the beginning. Now, I heard that Germany has finally started to work on its own side. With this news, I can take it back to Stalin, and I can make up for the mistake I made in the agreement signed yesterday. !
