"Russia assumed the main responsibility in the war and should take back what Russia had lost, such as the Lushun lost in the Russo-Japanese War. The Middle East Road lost in this war. Japan's operating rights on the South Manchuria Railway should be transferred to Russia. Dalian should be opened as an international port, and Russia should enjoy priority."

As soon as Stalin's conditions were released, Roosevelt knew it was terrible. With Chiang Kai-shek's attitude, he would never accept such conditions. Moreover, Stalin's conditions showed that Stalin completely took back the promise that Manchuria was Chinese territory that he had stated the day before yesterday.

Ross did not express his opinion. Churchill was sucking a cigar indifferently, while Stalin filled his pipe as if nothing had happened. The meeting was suffocating silence.

"Yesterday, I told Chairman Chiang Kai-shek that the Soviet Union is our ally. Regarding the Mongolian issue, there can be negotiations between China and the Soviet Union. Mr. Stalin." Roosevelt said very slowly. He was guessing what Stalin really wanted. Obviously, when Stalin made these requests, he should consider that China would never agree. This is forcing Britain and the United States to choose between China and the Soviet Union. Of course, for now, Britain and the United States need the Soviet Union more, but on the Asian battlefield, Britain and the United States also need China.

"About Zhongdong Road, Lushun Dalian, and Nanman, I still recommend that you negotiate directly with the Chairman." Roosevelt avoided the choice, and he still couldn't see Stalin's purpose clearly for the time being.

"Why?" Stalin asked cunningly: "Can China still oppose the things decided by our three major powers?"

Churchill secretly scolded the greedy polar bear in his heart. What Roosevelt thought was what he thought. He originally did not intend to intervene in the Sino-Soviet dispute. At this time, he thought clearly that if China was restrained by the Soviet Union after the war, he would be unable to estimate that Southeast Asia and South Asia, and the British Empire would face much less pressure.

"We need to plan the peace in the Far East now," Churchill did not immediately support Stalin. He carefully used the words: "There is no doubt that China played a great role in the war, but Russia's role cannot be ignored now and after the war. Mr. President, we must make a comprehensive measure."

Stalin smiled kindly at Churchill after hearing this, but Roosevelt was still unmoved: "Mr. Prime Minister, this will seriously damage the feelings and interests of another ally. The Chairman once told me that he did not want the scene at the Paris Peace Conference to be reproduced, and I also do not want this scene to be reproduced. China has shown his strength in this war, and anyone who despises this power will be punished."

History is changing silently. The power of China's performance in the war has made Roosevelt realize more that after the war, Asia and even the world, needed China's participation. His hint was very strong. Didn't Japan once think that China was poor and weak, but China fought against Japan alone for four years. As a result, Japan not only did not conquer China, but was dragged into the quagmire of long-term war. Stalin should not repeat Japan's mistakes.

Stalin understood and smiled contemptuously: "Mr. President, China is a scattered country that has no problem dealing with its own problems. Our three major countries can determine all the problems in today's world."

Roosevelt frowned. He thought about it and still shook his head firmly: "Mr. Stalin, China is also our ally. The peace in the Far East was based on the elimination of Japanese militarism and the justice between the allies. I think you should understand Chairman Chiang Kai-shek after the request. I think that after you reach an understanding with Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, I think at our summit of the Three Kingdoms, what should be discussed is Europe. If Asia is to be involved, Chairman Chiang Kai-shek should be invited to participate."

Roosevelt finally kept his promise to Chiang Kai-shek, and Stalin's face remained calm. He stood up and walked slowly along the round table, saying as he walked: "From the perspective of war, Russia has paid a huge price for our common cause, and we have the right to demand the benefits we deserve. We must tell the Russian people what they left for future generations after they made so many sacrifices."

Churchill squirted out a sip of smoke: "Well said, why are we British participating in the battle? To make the colonial semi-colonial nations last after the war? Or something else?"

Stalin was a little stunned. He didn't expect Churchill to refute. He quickly countered: "No, this has nothing to do with the colonial semi-colonials. This is how we explain to the Russian people whether the things they stolen by the Japanese could be taken back. As for how we deal with it after we take them back, whether we will continue to operate it or return it to China for conquest, and we will negotiate with China to resolve it."

Roosevelt cursed in his heart, leaning back slightly, tapping his fingers on the table, and shook his head slightly: "Mr. Stalin, our purpose of war is to liberate all oppressed people, not to divide interests. Mr. Stalin, the Cairo Declaration once announced to the people of the colonial semi-colonial people that we support their freedom of choosing their tribes. Your decision has overturned the Cairo Declaration, which I cannot accept."

The biggest difference between the previous life and this life is that in the previous life, Japan did not attack the Soviet Union and China was extremely weak. In order to defeat Japan as soon as possible, Roosevelt could only ask the Soviet Union to send troops. However, this life was different. No matter what Stalin made, he had to fight against Japan. In addition, China was the biggest variable. With the combat effectiveness shown by China, even without the participation of the Soviet Union, Roosevelt was still confident of defeating Japan.

Churchill's careless words aroused Roosevelt's vigilance. If Churchill agreed to Stalin, he would have done it and finally opened the door to disintegrate the huge colony of the British Empire and closed it again, which was something he could not accept.

"Mr. Stalin," Roosevelt's tone became a little cold: "Our meeting is about how to defeat Hitler in Germany, and we can discuss the situation on the Asian battlefield at tomorrow's meeting."

Roosevelt's attitude was very firm, but Stalin's attitude was even more firm. He shook his head very firmly: "Mr. President, this has nothing to do with the European battlefield. If you defeat Japan, you should return the things that Japan plundered from various countries to various countries, Manchuria to China, Taiwan Penghu Ryukyu, China, Singapore, Myanmar, Malaysia to Britain, so why can't the things that Japan plundered from Russia be returned to Russia?"

The meeting fell silent again. Stalin's attitude was so tough. Roosevelt felt a little disappointed. He felt that he had followed Stalin too much before. He bit the cigarette pole and did not make a sound. Churchill glanced at Stalin from the corner of his eyes. Stalin stood next to his seat, smoking his pipe quietly, as if waiting for Roosevelt's answer.

"I agree with Mr. President," Churchill held the cigar in his hand and looked at Stalin and said, "In the war against Japan, China's attitude is crucial. So far, they have eliminated the most Japanese, and they are closest to Japan." "Mr. Stalin, I oppose China's appeal to Mongolia. I hope that after the war, Mongolia will be jointly managed by China, the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union. After a period of time, such as two or three years, the Mongolian people will vote to resolve it." Roosevelt said, "Similarly, I also oppose your appeal to the Northeast."

"Mr. Stalin, we cannot exclude China. You think China is weak now, but you have also said that China will become stronger sooner or later. Once it becomes stronger, it will be very unfavorable to your parliament." Roosevelt had a faint sense of persuasion in his words, but Stalin was still unmoved: "Mr. President, let our next generation solve the things in the future, and we will only do what we need to do now."

"But we also have a responsibility to China," Roosevelt decided to take tough measures. He said to Stalin without any vagueness: "I cannot support your demands for the Northeast." Stalin originally thought that Britain and the United States needed Soviet Russia on the European battlefield, but he did not expect that Roosevelt's attitude was so tough. He felt a little embarrassed. Now he was a little unable to get out of Taiwan. He silently returned to his seat and said nothing.

The meeting fell silent again, and the meeting was stuck, with only a few smoke guns burning, emitting smoke. Hopkins whispered to Roosevelt and told him Harrimann's words. Roosevelt nodded expressionlessly, saying that he knew, but he was very shocked. He understood that his attitude on the Mongolian issue made Chiang Kai-shek alert, and now he could not give in to Stalin, which was related to post-war Sino-US relations.

Roosevelt thought about breaking the silence and suggested a temporary recess. He continued the meeting in fifteen minutes. The delegation of the Three Kingdoms left the conference room. Churchill naturally walked to Roosevelt. The two chatted, and Roosevelt told him the news he received.

Churchill nodded expressionlessly. This was a serious signal that Stalin could make the meeting break, and Chiang Kai-shek could also make the meeting break.

Fifteen minutes passed quickly, and the heads of the Three Kingdoms sat back at the conference table. Roosevelt spoke first, and he decided to give Stalin a step: "Mr. Stalin, we still have time to formulate the rules of the Far East. I think we should return to the original track and continue to discuss the war against Germany."

After fifteen minutes of thinking, Stalin felt that it was impossible to achieve his goal today, so he nodded in agreement. This meeting was actually the distribution of interests of the three countries to Europe, and combat cooperation was the second.

Stalin and Churchill once again argued for Poland, and the Polish issue was a very sensitive issue. In 1939, Britain declared war on Germany for Poland, and the Polish exile government was also in London. However, Stalin could not accept the Polish exile government because of the massacre of the Katan Forest. The Polish exile government had broken with the Soviet Union. The Katan Forest Massacre incident refers to the massacre of about 50,000 Polish officers were massacred in the Katan Forest in Belarus. After Germany invaded the Soviet Union, Germany found about 50,000 corpses in Polish uniforms in the Katan Forest. All of these corpses were tied up with their hands, which were obviously slaughtered. Germany announced that it was massacred by the Soviet Union, while the Soviet Union refuted that it was done by the German army. The Polish exile government proposed to ask the Swiss Red Cross to inspect, and the Soviet Union's reaction was to cut off all relations with the Polish exile government.

Everyone in the world knows that this is done by the Soviet Union.
