Chapter 3161 Natural Enemies
"Of course, otherwise, why would I appear here?" Ouyang Yun smiled: "China has never thought of being an enemy of Soviet Russia. Otherwise, why did we send the Far East Expeditionary Force to your country in the first place. General Cuikov, You should know that before World War II started, we had quite a few cooperation projects with **Germany. When we decided to send reinforcements to your country, we also received a cooperation request from **Germany. By the way, Many of the technologies involved in the Second Artillery Corps of our army have benefited from technology sharing with Germany." Speaking of this, the smile on Ouyang Yun's face became erratic, and his tone seemed a little cold: "We think we are in harmony with Germany." The people of Soviet Russia are friends, but how do you treat us? General Chuikov, the last time you came to Chongqing, isn’t that what a friend should behave when we are in trouble?”

Chuikov was dumbfounded.The Soviet Russian government used the opportunity of the US-Japan secret agreement to conduct political blackmail against China. No matter how you look at this matter, it seems that the Soviet Russian government was wrong first.As for the later participation of the Soviet Russian government in the four-nation anti-China alliance, this was even called a complete betrayal of its ally China.

"Yes, there has never been an eternal friendship between countries. The relationship between two countries can only be determined by interests. However, General Chuikov, do you think that China and Soviet Russia are natural enemies? We took back the Far East because of your country Lenin, the former head of state, has expressed such a wish. Moreover, this will also help the relationship between China and the Soviet Union become more equal, right? The United States, Japan, and Britain form an alliance against us, because they feel the existence of a powerful China It may threaten their interests in Asia. But what conflicts of interests exist between your country and us? The Far East is quite far away from Nanjing and Moscow, and because of the climate, it is doomed to be impossible to become a core area. On the other hand, your country The European part of the country, heh, the reason why Hitler dared to brazenly invade your country was that the British and the French, including the Americans, were behind it? After all, the core interests of your country are in Europe, so the UK and France, including the British and French stations The United States together, they are the natural enemies of your country! General Chuikov, do you think I am right?"

The term "natural enemy" is a derivative of the "law of the jungle".At least in this era, as Ouyang Yun said, Soviet Russians were far more interested in Europe than in the Far East.The severe cold climate in the Far East limits the time for human activities, which naturally reduces its economic benefits (after all, the economic benefits of the present era are all created by humans-of course, this is without considering natural resources, but at this time, Many resources in the Far East have not yet been discovered, and its significance to Soviet Russia may only exist on the map to make the country of Soviet Russia look better).On the other hand, Europe, since it has been the activity center of the human world since the industrial age, has naturally become a symbol of wealth and national power.Historically, since the Tsarist era, the Soviet Russians have been seeking to become the hegemon of Europe. Now even if the social ideology has changed, it can be seen from the slogan of liberating all mankind that the aggressive nature of the Soviet Russians can be seen. Nothing has changed.

Before Chuikov set off for Chongqing, he had received a face-to-face instruction from Stalin, and the core part of it was to seek a secret ceasefire with China so that Soviet Russia could concentrate its power on "running Europe."The reason for "running Europe" is because the strength of Soviet Russia in this time and space is very different from that in that time and space.So even though Europe is in chaos now, it seems to be an excellent opportunity to interfere in European affairs, but because Germany did not go directly from heaven to hell like in the original time and space, Stalin couldn't make up his mind for a while.In addition, because of the United States' rebellion, the situation in Asia has become more variable. Stalin felt that this was an opportunity to profit from the chaos, so he tried to take back the Far East first.

From this point of view, Ouyang Yun asked Zhang Zizhong to take the initiative to attack the Soviet Russians, but he got twice the result with half the effort, and he helped Stalin correct his international course.

Since a decisive battle with the Chinese in the Far East may not only result in losses outweighed by gains, but may also lead to another decline in the strength of Soviet Russia, it is better to continue to accumulate strength in Europe, so as to wait for an opportunity to make a strong cut.

The Chinese showed the courage to fight the Soviet Union in the Far East. The Soviets did not know what the Chinese government wanted to do in the Far East. Therefore, Cuikov did not dare to have too much expectation for the secret ceasefire between China and the Soviet Union.Now, as soon as he met Ouyang Yun, he took the initiative to express his kindness. Even though he became more and more suspicious of the motives of the Chinese people, and even thought that there must be some conspiracy hidden behind this kindness, but considering that it would be beneficial for him to complete the mission of this visit, Cui Kefu thought for a while. Yes, he smiled at Ouyang Yun and accepted the term "natural enemy".

"You are right. ZBZY Europe, represented by Britain and France, is indeed the 'natural enemy' of our Soviets. As the natural enemy of ZBZY countries, I think the Soviets have the obligation and responsibility to overthrow those ZBZY European countries in order to help the European proletariat. Your Excellency, I think there may be a misunderstanding between us on the issue of the Far East. The reason why the Soviet joined the US-Japan-British alliance is not that we abandon China as a traditional ally, but because of the consistency of the Soviet foreign policy. You know , before that, we were all members of the anti-government alliance. In line with the law of natural alliance that the minority obeys the majority, when Britain and the United States, the two main countries of the anti-government alliance, choose to form an alliance with Japan, if we don’t want to Being regarded as an enemy by the United Kingdom and the United States, of course they can only follow up. The Soviets strengthened the Far East border forces as early as the year before last, but until your country’s Far East Army launched an active attack on us, your Excellency, our Soviet Russian Red Army did not have a single military act across the border. Doesn’t this just explain the real diplomatic stance of the Soviet on the anti-China issue? Of course, I don’t mean to accuse you when I say this. As a responsible government, you really need to take some concrete actions to calm domestic public opinion. Our government can understand this. And as you said, on the issue of natural enemies, China and the Soviet Union actually have natural differences. Allies, then, can we just treat it as a misunderstanding?"

Cuikov was talking endlessly there, and the expressions on the faces of the Chinese generals may not have changed much, but the psychological changes were too complicated.

Regarding Cuikov's secret visit, there are two different ideas among the senior Chinese military and government officials who know the matter.One of the factions is headed by Ouyang Yun. Although they can't conclude that the Soviets came for peace, they at least believe that the Soviets should not want to expand the war in the Far East; as for the other faction, they all think that the Soviets It must have come for blackmail. Some pessimists even believe that the newly recovered Far East may be lost again.
