Earlier, Stalin's father struggled to block millions of axial troops, and was ridiculed by the United States for repeated failures, treating the Soviet Union as a big burden, and even made the United States wonder whether it was worthwhile to aid the Soviet Union. When the Eastern Front War was really ended, Germany took millions of troops from Russia and exerted other directions, the United States immediately felt a sharp increase in pressure.

After a series of battles in Iceland, South America and South Africa, the Joint Conference evaluated the combat effectiveness of the Soviet Red Army higher - it was not that Stalin's father could not fight, but that the head of state was too powerful to cheat. The US military, which was more well-equipped, more materials and more staffed, wasn't the US military still beaten into a bunch of shit by the German army? The performance on the battlefield was even worse than the Russians. At least the Red Army counterattacked for a while in the spring and summer of 1944 - defeated Turkey and recovered Central Asia, the Caspian Sea, and the Caucasus. If Stalin's father had not exhausted his subsequent efforts, if the German army had not invested in a terrible force like the Thor's Hammer Army, it would be hard to say what the winning or losing of this front was.

On the other hand, the United States had to retreat all the way, lost Iceland and Africa. Now that it was impossible to save South America and Hawaii, what qualifications did it have to mock the Soviet Red Army?

To be honest, the Soviets completely resisted to the last moment - no country in this world can cause casualties to the axis compared to the Soviets, and no country has suffered greater casualties than the Soviet Union. If it weren't for the special system of the Soviet Union, Britain and the United States would have collapsed long ago in the face of all this.

Therefore, after Dewey officially took office as president, the Joint Conference and his confidants repeatedly believed that the Soviet Union had the need to continue to contact, especially after the United States expressed its desire to continue to cooperate with the Soviet Union through secret channels, this necessity became even more prominent.

Continuing cooperation is of course very different from the past comprehensive allies. Large-scale delivery of materials is impossible, and the lease bill is no longer applicable, but small-scale transactions are possible. For example, the United States withdrew pilots and military personnel from China and received strong help from Russia. For example, Stalin's father approved the delivery of a batch of seized German equipment to the United States. The Soviet Is tanks, T-43 tanks and related drawings made the connection closer.

After the successful pilot transportation, the United States put forward three requirements: the first is to establish air routes between the United States, the Soviet Union and China, and use the territory of East Russia as an aviation transit station; the second is to establish a submarine supply base in the Far East of East Russia and deploy high-power radar and long-wave radio stations; the third is to hope that the Soviets will send air force personnel to the United States to participate in the war in the name of individuals or volunteers, or simply mix in the "Chinese Aid U.S. Air Pioneer" to fight together.

Stalin's father, who was afraid of causing trouble, tactfully refused the last two requests, but he readily agreed to the first request.

After the Aleutian Islands were occupied by the Japanese army, the only way for the American forces to come to Asia - from the United States, Canada to Alaska, from Alaska to Kamchatka Peninsula to enter the Soviet Union, and then enter China, the difficulty is much higher than the Aleutian Islands route.

Molotov played an important role in communication. He made flexible and adaptable items to the third article. On the one hand, he communicated with Stalin that it is beneficial to let the pilot perform flight missions and maintain his condition. On the other hand, he communicated with the United States about the difficulty of directly participating in the war. After all, Japan and the Soviet Union are neutral countries. Now the Kwantung Army has a great threat and cannot give Japan an excuse to provoke war.

After his repeated mediation, Stalin made an exception and agreed to send 100-200 Russian crews to carry out the transportation and flight missions of this route, but excluding operations, the US Air Force immediately agreed happily - this means that they can free up at least 100 skilled crews for other domestic routes, which is a complete timely help for the US Air Force, which currently has only more than 2,000 skilled crews left and some are trapped in Hawaii and cannot move.

Stalin sent out all the elite crews that flew large bombers at the time. To express his gratitude, the US not only paid US dollars to the Red Army pilots based on its own military ranks and combat allowances, but also sent a batch of technical drawings, physical objects and other commodities. The gains in the radar field are only part of it.

As a traditional Bolshevik, it is still necessary to be vigilant against capitalist sugar-coated shells. These pilots who received US dollar wages have carefully selected them all, all of whom are Bolshevik Party members or Communist Youth League members, and they usually have relatives sacrificed their relatives - they are particularly reliable in politics, and their US dollar wages can only be recorded, and they actually receive domestic rubles, and all the US dollar is used to purchase urgently needed materials in China.

Considering the economic difficulties of Eastern Russia, in order to give the other party some extra compensation without touching the sensitive nerves of some members of Congress, Lieutenant General Clark, who is quite diplomatic, invented the material compensation trade law (also known as the penicillin law).

Every time the plane flies from the United States, in addition to necessary fuel and materials, it always uses surplus capacity to carry boxes after boxes of American civilian supplies - all sold to the Russian side at the factory cost price. The taxes, freight, employee salary, and insurance premiums are all ignored, and they are calculated only if the Russian side gets it.

Russia retained part of this batch of scarce materials and sold most of them to the Chinese market. Since penicillin accounts for the absolute majority of the materials, it is vividly called the penicillin method.

Usually, the profit margin of this kind of trade regardless of freight is 150-200%, which means that Eastern Russia can make a lot of money every time - a b-29 or c-54 cargo is worth at least 1-2 million US dollars. Soviets usually leave 20% of the money themselves, and the rest are all shipped to China through secret channels.

Since the US channel was out of stock, German goods have become popular in the Chinese market. After all, in Shanghai, even uranium ore and aircraft engines can be traded, and there are other things that cannot be sold? But more are American goods. Many people were even surprised to find that they could find penicillin produced 10 days ago - not fake goods, but real American goods!

In addition to penicillin, of course there are other special products, such as stockings, perfumes, cosmetics, imported cigarettes, high-end clothing, leather shoes, watches, etc. This is a necessity for Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang people and wealthy families in the southwest. Of course, the top families generally use European goods - French perfume, Italian luxury goods, Swiss watches, and American goods are relatively more popular, and the prices are fair. In particular, American watches are deeply loved by the middle class in Shanghai - they can't afford luxury goods, but watches are considered necessities, and they still grit their teeth and buy them. Pocket watches are no longer popular. Besides, a delicate lady with a pocket watch is not a good thing.

These businesses are very popular. The goods are not heavy, there is no big risk, and they don’t even involve prohibitions and shelf life. As for tariffs, can these things be transported to Shanghai and other big cities? Comrade Mi Gaoyang, a member of the Politburo, is it necessary to be responsible for information, trade and communication with China?

There were even bold Chinese underground forces asking if they could transport some arms and opium in?

The United States does not produce opium, and it involves the United States, the Soviet Union and China. Political figures are somewhat afraid. As for arms, the heavy weight is definitely not good, and the light ones are no problem at all. Motorola walkie-talkie, radio station, telescope and other items are also processed to the second-hand dealer of the East Russia at the factory price. Comrade Migoyang, who is in charge of "special" trade, deducts 20% and sells it as usual.

Even Japan can buy it happily. Of course, the United States knows that buying these things by Japan will significantly enhance the strength of the Japanese army, but it really doesn't care about so much, because Japan's strength cannot be suppressed by these. Besides, if you don't buy American goods, you can still buy German goods.

After the development of this route, it will become an order-based transportation later. People with strong paths can even send entrustment requests, such as sending emails and specifying what to buy, etc., which can generally be met. It is nothing more than the uncertain time of meeting the time - it will be fast, and it will be delivered in a week, and it may take 2-3 months to wait for slowing down, but there is no problem with safety and confidentiality. There are also serious ill rich people who have transferred to the United States for treatment through this route - the price is hard to say.

The Japanese Special High School and even the Gestapo knew this route, but they had not made much move. One reason was that the items on the route were very harmful to Japan, and the Japanese army could gain from it. If Japan did not take action, the Gestapo had no reason to take action; the other reason was that this distribution chain involved too many people. This chain not only sold American and Russian products, but also Japanese and German products. To destroy it, it was to destroy its own distribution channels, which was meaningless.

As for transporting arms to the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, Japan doesn't care at all now. Large-scale transportation of the United States and the Soviet Union has no ability, and small-scale transportation cannot solve the equipment problem of large troops. This way of moving mice can only turn a blind eye to transport a little bit.

The axial camp has also noticed the material demand in the Far East market and is also conducting commercial attempts and promotions. The purpose of the German office in Shanghai is to open up the Far East market. Now, a lot of German goods can be bought on the market, which is also a channel for this channel.

It is generally reported that the quality of German goods is comparable to that of American goods, but German goods are often expensive than American goods. The reason is actually easy to figure out - the United States transports materials to make up for a little transportation cost, making money itself is not the purpose, and it is okay to make more money. The air transportation fee from the United States to the Soviet Union is completely excluded from the cost. At most, the freight fee from the Soviet Union to Shanghai is calculated.

Germany treats it as commercial trade. Even if it is cheaper, it is impossible not to care about the freight. The shipping fee from Italy to China's ports is quite expensive, and it also has to pass through Japan's floor in the middle - tariffs, special fees, and service fees all have to be paid 30-35%, which must be added to the selling price.
