Chapter 84 Sino-Soviet Cooperation
Nanjing, Jianlu. Because it is summer, the green trees near Jianlu are covered with green trees. Cicadas are lying on these tall sycamore trees. Its screams loud and loud, and the sound of "Yi-Yi-" can be heard from a distance. But at this time, the roar of Cicadas is like a melodious sound of a piano, which is intoxicating.
The outside of this two-story Western-style building is full of guards with live ammunition, performing alert tasks naked.
On the east side of the first floor is Chiang Kai-shek's reception room. There are also large photos of Sun Yat-sen and Chiang Kai-shek hanging on the wall of the living room. Two people were sitting casually, sometimes cursing and sometimes laughing. Behind the two were there a translator wearing glasses.
A bearded man who was unkempt and like a worker was smoking the old and black pipe hard, and a bottle of vodka was placed in front of the seat. The other man was wearing a long gown and enjoying a glass of boiled water.
Speaking of which, these two people are famous and well-known figures in the world. The bearded man and black smoke pipe are the boss of the Soviet Union's League of Socialist Republics,), General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union, Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union, Grand Marshal Stalin, Long Gaunt is the chairman of the Nanjing government, Commander-in-Chief of the National Revolutionary Army and Chairman of the Military Commission, and Chairman of the Supreme National Defense Committee Chiang Kai-shek.
"Mr. Si, is it very leisurely to come to China this time? But I don't think Mr. Si is here to play, right?"
"no, no, no, no, don't call me that. I'm from 1879. You are from 1887. I'm not polite. Call you "Little brother, how do you and my brother match each other?"
"OK."
......
"Mom Xipi! Little Japanese dared to suspect his elder brother. Fortunately, I didn't know at that time. If I knew, I would kill them."
"Hahahaha, I understand the brotherhood. This time I'm here to discuss cooperation."
"this?"
"**The little Japanese is so fucking ill-intentioned and has no good intentions towards us. As the saying goes, the enemy is a friend. Brothers are more difficult now, and I am not easy now, but I still plan to help you."
"Okay, okay! Brothers are so anxious that people can be troubled, Zhongzheng is very grateful."
"On behalf of the Soviet people and the Soviet government, I decided to send a large number of military advisers, technical experts and military equipment to China, and provide you with a low-interest loan of more than 200 million US dollars. First, send 1,250 aircraft, 1,091 pilots and more than 00 ground crew members to China. Let them help you train the air force. If necessary, the aviation volunteer team will participate in the air combat to defend some key cities."
"Okay, stop talking about anything. I will use water instead of wine and I will toast you a glass."

Many Chinese people only know that the United States aids China to fight against Japan, but they don’t know that in fact, the United States has been accusing of, instigating and helping Japan for 10 years from the September 18th Incident in 1931 to the outbreak of the Pacific War in 1941!
After 918, Japan occupied the Northeast, and then-US President Hoover expressed his understanding. Japan occupied a large area of Chinese territory such as Shanghai, but the United States still agreed that its purpose was to encourage Japan to attack the Russians. Later, Japan gave up going north and targeted Southeast Asia occupied by the United States, Britain, France and the Netherlands. After rushing south, the United States discovered that the wolf was really coming. Uncle Sam, who was heartbroken, only began to impose a steel embargo on Japan in July 1940, and implemented an oil embargo on Japan's life and death in July 1941, which eventually led to Japan's risky attack on Pearl Harbor...
Before 1941, the United States had been exporting strategic materials such as aviation gasoline, scrap steel, precision machine tools to island countries, and even providing explosives formulas, in fact, assisting Japan in invading China. In 1937, 54.4% of the huge amount of strategic materials shipped to Japan were exported to Japan by the United States.
In fact, after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, it was the Soviet elder brother who really helped China fight against Japan. The aviation volunteer team participated in the air battle to defend large cities such as Nanjing, and 211 people were killed in the air battle against Japan.
At the end of 1941, the United States declared war on Japan, and it was not until 1942 that it truly began to "aid China to fight against Japan" and aid China, which was also to "aid the United States and Japan in war", and the loans to China were also high-interest loans. In 1942, the Myanmar Expeditionary Force sent by China in order to rescue the British and American coalition forces, helped the United States and Britain. The United States aided China's American weapons, but it was not until 1943 that it was equipped with the China ** team on a large scale.
The American Volunteer Air Force, led by retired officer Chennard, who came to China at the end of 1941, had only a few dozen aircraft and more than 100 people. It only existed for less than a year and did not have much record. However, the 14th Air Force of the US Army, which is often confused with the transportation company, was actually exaggerated.
As early as the 1930s, the Kwantung Army built a large number of military fortresses in Dongning Hutou, Heilongjiang. The scale and complete facilities were surprisingly large. Dongning is located in the Suifenhe area, across the river from Russia. These fortifications were obviously targeted at the Soviet regime at that time. Strangely, the Japanese army spent so much effort to build these fortifications, but later abandoned them, which was related to the later compromise between Japan and the Soviet Union.
The compromise between Japan and the Soviet Union was achieved in April 1941 under the deception of Matsuoka Yoyu.
Before that, at the end of 1940, US President Roosevelt compared Japan with Germany and Italy in his "firesidence speech" and announced that he would further provide military aid to China. Subsequently, US Secretary of State Hull also stated that Japan's invasion of China was the first step to destroy the civilized world. For all mankind and for the interests of the United States, the United States cannot sit idly by and watch.
The attitude of the US government deeply inspired the morale of the people of China and the international situation became clearer.
On January 2, 1941, the Ta Kung Pao published a commentary on the title "Bombing Breaking Spring Dawn by the Fireside", saying that Germany and Japan's military militancy in Europe and Asia made "1941 a year that determines the overall situation of the world."
Under this situation, in addition to "British combat power and China's continued war of resistance are naturally direct determinants", there are two important forces that are enough to influence the situation, namely the United States' aid to democratic countries and the Soviet Union's adherence to peace policies.
The editor also said: From the view that President Roosevelt said that "we cannot compromise on violence, if we cannot reason with the firebomb", the United States has "close to the path of participating in the war"; therefore, whether the Soviet Union keeps its promise and continues to adhere to its anti-fascist stance will play a crucial role.
