Chapter 953 Laughing (Plus 1)
So far, Germany and the Soviet Union have not forged any bloody feud. Even when the First World War ended, Germany and the Soviet Union were still united to keep warm, and there was a lot of cooperation between them.
As for Germany's actions in Finland, the Soviets are actually responsible. After all, the Soviet Union had bad intentions and wanted to get involved in the interests of Britain and France.
And now, according to his own inference, Molotov determined that the enemy on the German side should be the United States. After all, the United States has been supporting Churchill until now. The friction between the United States and Germany is even more, and even Germany has secretly Activities in the Pacific Ocean, sinking American ships.
The United States claims that Germany has bombed the Statue of Liberty in the United States. In this case, the contradiction between the United States and Germany is simply irreconcilable.
Now, Germany has occupied Western Europe and is manufacturing warships on a large scale. Warships such as the Count Zeppelin-class aircraft carrier are not only under construction in German shipyards, but also in French and British shipyards. The Germans are exploding the navy. !
So what do the Germans want to do? Of course, the United States is regarded as their imaginary enemy.
Now, although there is friction in Brest, it is not so terrible. In Germany's eyes, it is just a border conflict. If Germany really wants to attack the Soviet Union, it is absolutely impossible to just stay in The place where the border is dozens of kilometers has already been called!
Molotov analyzed all these reasons, and many of the people present nodded their heads.
Yes, so far, Germany has not shown absolute malice.
So what should the Soviets do?
If the Soviets do not increase their troops and continue to maintain the status quo, what is the face of the Soviets?
If the Soviets want to expand in size, is there any benefit to the Soviets?
This conflict has made the Soviets see the status quo clearly. When they go to Germany, there is a huge gap!
"Maybe, there will be a final war between us and Germany, but it is definitely not now, we should buy time, improve our army strength, and put our advanced tanks into our army in large numbers. Now, We have no confidence in fighting Germany." Voroshinov finally said something fair.
Now, the Soviet Union does not have the confidence to defeat Germany. The gap in equipment is too great. This gap must be filled with time.
It can be said that, from another point of view, the conflict in the Brest Fortress awakened the top Soviet leaders, and they finally began to face the gap between themselves and the German army.
This gap is not narrowing, but widening!
Although the Soviets already have T-34 and KV-1, they are almost all deployed to the Finnish army and the troops of other military regions. The replacement is too slow, and the main force is still light tanks. What can they use to compete with the Germans? ?
Soviet, it takes time!
Stalin finally nodded: "Yes, we need time. Molotov, you go to the Germans to negotiate, if the Germans are willing to return to the original borders and return the prisoners to us, then we can continue to maintain peace, Otherwise, prepare to suffer the wrath of our Soviets!"
Hearing Molotov frown, he is a loser! Is it enough to leave the Germans as they are, and the Germans are willing to go back? Is it possible to negotiate by yourself?
However, Stalin's order was not to be violated, so Molotov could only set foot on the itinerary of Berlin.
Comrade Stalin's order had his reasons. Even if Molotov wanted to understand on the way, he was actually trying to test the attitude of the Germans.
Molotov only theoretically analyzed that the Germans were preparing to fight the United States, at least to seize sea power in the Atlantic Ocean, but what to use to prove it?
If the Germans are willing to make concessions, return the prisoners, and withdraw to the original border area, it means that the Germans have no intention of starting a war with the Soviet Union, and even have any scruples.
Comrade Stalin is indeed more thoughtful, and when he goes this time, he has to put on a high-level attitude, as if the battle was won by his own side!
Molotov's special plane landed at Berlin Airport, and was greeted by German Foreign Minister Ribbentrop, and headed for the Fuhrer.
There is indeed a play!
Entering the Fuhrer's Palace, Molotov really saw Fuhrer Cyric! He first expressed a courtesy greeting, and then began an aggressive accusation of the recent conflict.
"At the beginning, our two countries have negotiated properly and demarcated the boundary, but your side has always occupied the Brest Fortress, which has provoked this conflict. Now, you continue to invade our border for more than ten kilometers." Lotov said: "Now, on behalf of Moscow, I lodge a serious protest with you!"
"Please return to the original border immediately, and please immediately hand over our prisoners who are still in this conflict." Molotov said with a sly tongue, and added a sentence: "And compensate me. Fang's loss in this conflict."
Hearing his words, the Germans present were all angry. After a long time, are you here to play a rogue? I thought it was you who won!
"Then how much do you plan to ask us to compensate?" Sherner, who was present, asked strangely.
"We lost thousands of people, lost a lot of equipment, and at least 3 billion euros in compensation," Molotov said.
"Hahaha..." Molotov's words caused a burst of laughter from the people around him. Keitel, who has always been unsmiling, split his mouth. As for Scherner, he simply slapped the table and made a loud noise.
"Go back and tell Stalin that if you really want compensation, it's not impossible. Our tanks and bombers will go to Moscow with compensation," Scherner said.
This remark made Molotov's face suddenly change: "Are you trying to provoke a full-scale war between the Soviets and Germany? If this is the case, then I will come in vain. I came with sincerity, I did not expect , but this is the result.”
"Sincerity? The people who provoked this conflict are obviously so Soviet." Scherner continued: "You created an illusion in front of the fortress, and then wanted to occupy our fortress. Your planes also crossed the border and bombed ours. Rear, is this your sincerity? We in Germany respect our friendship with the Soviets, but we will never be in the company of jackals."
"Don't deny these, the prisoners have already confessed. There are so many facts, the evidence is solid."
It seems that I have misunderstood the situation. After the victory over Western Europe, these Germans have become arrogant and ignore any country. Sooner or later, the Soviets and Germany will have a war.
In this case, Molotov no longer needs to stay here. He just stood up to leave when he heard Cyric speak.
