"Actually, from the perspective of national interests, the United States prefers a strong Russia in the world. There is no fundamental conflict of interest between us because our two countries are too far apart. On the contrary, we can use our own power to

Take care of each other's interests within the scope. The scope of the United States of America's strength is in the Americas, while the scope of your country's strength should be in Eastern Europe, Asia Minor and Central Asia. Your country was once the top power in the world, and because of some well-known

Because of the reasons, it has fallen to the current level. Don’t your country want to restore its glory? What China needs is only your soldiers. They are used as cannon fodder and consumed on the battlefield, using the blood of Russian officers and soldiers in exchange for China’s interests. And

U.S.

It is different. The United States and its allies hope that Russia can become stronger." The American envoy, whose pseudonym is Ivan, was talking in a villa outside Moscow, and Marshal Kornikov opposite him seemed to agree deeply with this. The latter said

Keep nodding.

I have to say that the blueprint drawn by this eloquent American envoy to Marshal Kornikov is indeed very attractive. He allowed this general who had experienced World War I and the Civil War to see the hope of Russia's revival. According to this

An American representative said that if Russia can side with the Allied Powers in future wars, please note that it is the Allied Powers, not the Allied Powers and China! There is a difference! Then after the victory of the war, Russia can

Recovering includes Ukraine, Transcaucasus, the Baltic Sea coast and even parts of the original Poland! In this way, the European part of Russia during the Tsarist Russia can be restored, and some of the occupied territories have become a new one after more than ten years of German construction.

Industrial or agricultural base, if the blueprint drawn by the Americans can be realized, then Russia will become a second-class power again, second only to China and the United States!

But after all, the painted pie cannot be eaten! What conditions can the Americans give Russia? To what extent can their promises be fulfilled? To be honest, the price offered by China is indeed not as high as that offered by the Americans. They only

Agree with Russia to take back the Caucasus and Eastern Ukraine. But the Baltic Sea coast and Poland are not allowed. The Americans are different. It seems that the Americans are ready to restore Russia's western territory to what it was before the start of World War I, or even more! But the problem is

,

Why should the Americans fulfill their commitments to Russia? Russia and the United States are not bordering each other. To the west of Russia is Germany and its allies. Except for Murmansk, Russia cannot communicate with the Allies at all. And the Arctic routes are always under the control of Germany.

.If the Allies cut off Russia, there is nothing Russia can do. As for passing through China? Kornikov does not think China will tolerate Russia and the Americans getting too close. After all, China and the United States are allies and potential competitors.

.

It seemed that he could see the worries and suspicions of the Russians. Ivan smiled and took out a document and said: "This is an agreement just reached between our country and China. The products we export to your country can be transported through China's railways. The content covers

Including machinery and equipment, materials, energy and food, etc.

On the other hand, China has no reason to block the connection between the United States of America and Russia. After all, we are allies, and China needs to rely on the United States. In the next year, China will give us a transportation quota of about 500,000 tons. Only the United States transports expensive

country. Materials your country exports to our country are calculated separately.”

The persuasiveness of this agreement is more effective than what Ivan just said combined. Kornikov had a smile on his face after reading the agreement. The Americans are not deceiving themselves. At least for now, and if this

If the agreement is true, then Russia will be able to obtain many machines from the United States that they cannot produce and cannot easily obtain from other countries.

It must be said that Ivan and the US government behind him have won Kornikov's initial trust through practical actions. No one will reject the benefits that come to their doorstep. Especially now, it can only be described as dawdling.

The Russian government. Although Russia's former glory has faded away, his successors still want to restore its past glory.

"You actually agreed to the Americans' aid to Russia?" When Peng Yi got the news, he was shocked by Xu Jie's choice. The Americans' thoughts were known to everyone. China did not do this to help the Americans poach themselves.

In the corner? How could Xu Jie make such a decision?

"Why don't we help Americans if they are willing to spend money? With the current strength of the Russians, it is simply impossible to involve the Allies' military power in World War II. Russia is too weak now, and it is barely even a chess piece. We

Tried to rearm the Russians. But later it was discovered that blood transfusion-style armament alone had little impact on the war situation. The Russian army formed in this way was the largest.

It can only play a role at the battle level. It is impossible to stand alone. Russia needs a certain amount of strength and its own hematopoietic ability. This is necessary. Whether it is China or the United States, there must be someone.

Provide money. And more importantly, if Americans provide money, the Russians may not listen to them. Do you understand this truth?" Xu Jie said with a smile.

"For example, if you are a Russian and the Americans have helped you build a complete industrial system, and after the war breaks out and you are unable to resist the German attack, who will you turn to for help? Who will you turn to?

The key to survival? Is it the United States or China?" Xu Jie's question was simple and sharp. Just such a question made Peng Yi, who was originally a little angry, completely lose his temper.

Xu Jie's meaning is very simple. Even if the Americans are 100% sincere, it is China that ultimately decides the fate of Russia. China can cut off the vital material channel between the United States and Russia for any reason.

.What the United States can give to China can be provided, such as materials, equipment and technology, but what China can give, the Americans cannot give, such as transportation routes. In this case, the Russians will definitely choose China instead of the big war.

The United States has helped itself with its strength!

"But Americans are not stupid. Can't they see that the result of doing this may be to make wedding clothes for others? The Russians can also realize this problem, right? Do they just want to make a profit from the Americans and leave?"

In addition, the premise you are talking about is that Russia cannot stop the Allies' attack. And if Russia can stop it, then what you just said is a false destiny.

Question." Soon. Peng Yi seemed to grasp the key to the problem! That is, Xu Jie's assumption was based on the fact that the Russians could not stop it. If Russia could rely on the industrial assistance of the Americans before the war to remain on the front line and

If the German troops are tied, the importance of the China Channel will be greatly reduced. Then the true alliance between Russia and the United States will become a reality.

"You finally got to the crux of the matter! What the Americans and the Russians are betting on is that after the efforts of both sides, the Russian legions armed by the United States can stop the Allies' Eastern European legions! And what I bet on is that the Russians can't stop the German troops.

Feng, do you believe it?" Xu Jie said with a smile.

"You have never been a person willing to gamble with the destiny of the country! This is not in line with your principles of doing things. You will not make such a decision without complete assurance." Peng Yi frowned, and he now found himself

I can't understand this old man more and more. I can't understand him even more than I did more than ten years ago.

"If this issue were to be discussed, I would probably not be able to finish it in a few months. There are too many factors involved. We might as well make a hypothesis to weigh the gains and losses of our current policy towards Russia. The situation is already obvious.

The Americans plan to rely on Britain, France and Russia to defeat the Allies, and the Allies also want to get rid of France before going south to India, so that’s good. The focus of the current game between the two sides is on the Western Front of Europe!"

"The United States, Britain and France are iron-clad allies. They will do their best to resist Germany no matter what, but Russia is not necessarily. He is isolated and helpless. If France fails, then the Germans will come back to trouble him, and if France defends

, or even start a counterattack against Germany, then Russia can still get benefits by joining later. If I were the leader of Russia, I would undoubtedly choose the second path!"

"Of course, we can also give them a trick from the perspective of Britain and France. We assume that Russia will try its best to attack Germany from the beginning. Then the situation will still not change under the new situation. The reason is very simple. If France wins, the Allied Powers will be large.

If France loses, the Allies will have the advantage. The Russians can only play a diversionary role, but cannot determine the outcome of the war. In fact, our strategy is based on France's loss. If France can

If we block the German attack, all our plans will become a pile of waste paper. Unfortunately, it is difficult for us to intervene in the war in distant Europe. Therefore, no matter how the Russians and Americans operate, as long as France loses

, then the choice to determine the fate of Russia will fall into our hands, and on the contrary, we will have no way to interfere. It is impossible for us to take action against Russia. Do you think that is the case?" Xu Jie explained carefully.

"Actually, you don't need to worry about the Russians at all. After all, even the Germans don't care about Russia. The Germans must know something about the actions of the Americans, but they ignore them. There are powerful and unexplained reasons for this, but at the same time

There is also Germany's confidence in the war situation. The Germans are not in a hurry, so why are you in a hurry?" Xu Jie finally said half-jokingly.

As Xu Jie said, the Germans do know that the United States is trying to unite with Russia. And towards this behavior, the Germans do adopt a semi-indifferent attitude. The main reason is that Germany feels that it is somewhat powerless now. Germany

The first target of the Germans is France. This battle directly determines the direction of the war. If the Germans can occupy France, they can concentrate a large amount of force on other battlefields, and the Allies will lose France.

After that, China, this important ally, will be in an extremely passive situation in terms of strength and geography. There is a saying in China that Long looks forward to Shu. If France is occupied, then Britain will be in crisis. If Britain is finished,

Then whether it is the United States or China, it is basically impossible to counterattack the European continent! France is the first card of this domino! Once it falls, the reaction caused will be a chain of uncontrollable!

It stands to reason that in this case, in order to ensure that Germany can concentrate its efforts on the Western Front when the war breaks out, the Eastern Front should be cleaned up before the war breaks out to avoid a two-front war situation. The Germans did consider this suggestion, but in the end they still

I gave up, because Russia is a big country after all, and it is easy to defeat the Russian army, but if you want to control that vast land and that

But it is quite a laborious task to control the people there. According to German estimates, if they want to control more than 50 million Russians, they must deploy at least 800,000 troops and police in Russia! And if this is the price alone,

, then it is still within the tolerable range. After all, Germany still has many allies, so it is not too difficult to gather this force.

What really scares the Germans away is not the Russians, but China to the east of Russia! If Germany brazenly invades Russia, China cannot remain indifferent. Germany that eats Russia will directly border China. This is a big problem for the two superpowers.

A very unsafe thing, China

Worry about Germany, and why is Germany not afraid of China? The fundamental reason why Russia could exist after World War 1 was not Russia, but the need to leave a buffer zone between China and Germany! And if Germany attacks Russia now,

Then China will at least provide equipment and training to the Russian army.

If the situation is not right, it is not impossible for Chinese troops to enter Russia in large numbers again. Then Germany will eventually fall into a quagmire bigger than Iran! And because it involves the fundamental interests of both sides, the scale of the war will become larger and larger.

There is even a possibility of losing control. If this happens

At that time, if the Allies stabbed themselves in the back again, it is not impossible for the Allies to lose the war directly. Therefore, since the Allies have decided to exercise restraint with China before destroying the Allies, then for the sake of peace with Russia, which has little influence on the Western Front,

It is obviously irrational for China to fight again!

So since they can't fight, the Germans must evaluate what pressure Russia will put on the Eastern Front of the Allies after three years of development. After some research, the Germans believe that based on Russia's current industrial base and domestic environment,

After three years of development, there is really no pressure on the Allies. The Russians’ foundation is too weak, and the development time is too short. There is nearly half a world between the United States and Russia. In addition, the road conditions in Russia are terrible.

.

What can Russia do to the Allies three years later? According to German estimates, even in the most pessimistic scenario, 500,000 Allied troops will be enough to resist the Russian attack. This cost is higher than using 800,000 troops and police to control Russia.

The risk of starting a war with China was much smaller. So after much deliberation, the Germans decided to let it go first. Moreover, Germany did not believe that the Russians would rush to jump on the Allied war chariot before the situation became clear!
