"Hahaha...Thank you, Vice Chairman Stalin, for the invitation, thank you for your hospitality!" The current U.S. Ambassador to the Soviet Union was later the famous diplomatic strategist - George Kennan.

In normal times, Kennan would never have been used. Because he was a melancholic, sensitive and very serious person. He could never adapt his intellectual views to the requirements of American politics, and he lacked the necessary skills to survive in American politics.

political and bureaucratic means.

But now is an extraordinary time, because he is passionate about diplomacy and has served in Austria, Germany, Estonia, the former Soviet Union, the Czech Republic and other countries, and has mastered German, French, Portuguese, Russian, Czech, Polish and Norwegian.

multilingual.

Therefore, he was favored by Roosevelt. Later, he was appointed as the United States Ambassador to the Soviet Union. Roosevelt's request for him was also very simple: to keep an eye on the Soviet Union and ensure that no disturbance in the Soviet Union would escape the eyes of the United States.

Because this is related to the security of the United States, and it is also related to the success or failure of this war that has involved the United States. There is no doubt that Kennan did this.

He became a guest of Stalin, Trotsky and others. When Kalinin went to the front line, he also received news that the Germans were trying to contact the Soviet Union.

But due to uncertainty, he did not report to the U.S. headquarters. So when he received Stalin's invitation today, he readily agreed to go for dinner.

Although Stalin's preference to force people to drink gave him a headache, he decided to go and test Stalin's reaction to this matter.

"Hahaha... Mr. Kennan doesn't have to be so polite. We are all old friends. We are very grateful for the assistance the United States has given us this time!" Stalin did not bring up the topic of Germany. He was waiting for an opportunity.

Bringing it up rashly is too deliberate and will lose the opportunity to turn around. Stalin had enough patience to deal with this matter. Even if he can't find an opportunity today, just find another one.

But when you say it, you must give yourself room for maneuver. You cannot say it to death or show other meanings. Once this kind of conveying causes misunderstanding, it is likely to lead to the complete end of the relationship between the Soviet Union and the United States.

"Vice Chairman Stalin, how are you doing with Commissioner Kalinin's inspection on the front line now?! In terms of equipment, do you need anything else from us?!" Kennan said with a smile to Stalin after he sat down after having a good meal and wine.

Seeing Kennan, he finally couldn't help mentioning it. Stalin smiled slightly in his heart. In fact, the United States has placed personnel in the Soviet Union. This is something that both sides know. Just like the Soviet Union has also placed personnel in the United States to prevent this big country from doing anything.

The changes harmed Soviet interests without the Soviet Union knowing anything about them.

"Now that Mr. Kennan has spoken, I won't deny it." Stalin stroked his forehead and said with a headache: "To tell you the truth, the Germans are contacting us now..."

"What?!" Kennan stood up suddenly, and the violent movement almost overturned the coffee table. Stalin quickly waved his hand for Kennan to sit down and said: "Mr. Kennan, don't be nervous. We have not promised the Germans anything now.

In fact, you have also seen that we are actively preparing for war now."

"There will definitely be a war between the Soviets and Germany. There can be no compromise between us, and cooperation with Germany is not in the interests of the Soviets. Likewise, we trust our American friends more..."

I believe you are evil! Kennan cursed in his heart, but on the surface he couldn't say that. At least now the United States must win over the Soviet Union and ensure that the Soviet Union is willing to go to war with Germany instead of defecting to Germany.

"Vice Chairman Stalin, I believe you also know that we in the United States are extremely firm in supporting your war." Kennan calmed down his mood and said: "If you still have any involvement with Germany, I believe this will be extremely serious.

It affected the friendship and cooperation between the United States and the Soviet Union..."

"In fact, I think so too, Mr. Kennan." Stalin spread his hands and said: "But you have to know that I am not the only one who has the final say in the committee. Other members also have the right to speak, and our decision-making requires the entire

Passed by a majority of the committee, we and your Congress are the same on this point..."

Kennan curled his lips inwardly, do you think I'm a fool?! The entire committee is basically decided by you, Stalin and Trotsky. The other committee members are basically from your two factions.

But now Kennan couldn't care about that. What he cared about now was that he had personally heard the shocking news from the top of the Soviet Union: The Germans had begun to contact the Soviet Union!

This news is undoubtedly shocking and terrifying. Once the Soviet Union swings to Germany's side, the international situation that is already extremely unfavorable to the allies will be even worse.

The fall of Britain and France has actually greatly damaged the combat morale of the Allies. If the Soviet Union chooses to defect to Germany again, the difficulties the Allies will face will intensify exponentially.

"Chairman Stalin, I think you can still say something in the committee. Isn't it rare that you didn't put forward your opinion? I believe Chairman Kalinin understands the truth. Why does he..."

Stalin waved his hand to Kennan and said: "Mr. Kennan, it is precisely because of my struggle and opposition that the committee reluctantly agreed to only have preliminary contact with Germany. The specific matters will not be known until Comrade Kalinin returns.

…”

After a pause, Stalin sighed and said: "Mr. Kennan, you need to know that because of the defeat in the European battlefield, the comrades in our committee are not optimistic about the Allies' war. That's why there is a trend of negotiation with Germany."

"I believe you have also seen the current situation in the Soviet Union. We do not have many fighter jets, tanks, and even insufficient weapons and equipment. Under such circumstances, one can imagine the consequences of encountering the German troops who are armed to the teeth.

…”

There was no change on Kennan's face, but he knew clearly in his heart: Stalin was asking him for weapons and equipment! Kennan couldn't help cursing in his heart, these damn Slavic villains.

At this time, Kennan had already made a judgment in his mind. I am afraid that the Soviet Union was not optimistic about cooperation with Germany. The reason why they were willing to negotiate and disclosed this news to themselves was to get more aid from the United States.

If the Soviet Union really wanted to cooperate with Germany, Stalin would not have revealed this news to himself.

But despite what he said, no one dared to take the risk. If the Soviet Union really surrendered to Germany, Kennan could not afford the consequences.

Washington, Ottawa and the Imperial Capital are not willing to see such a situation arise.

"We will definitely win this war in the end!" Kennan looked into Stalin's eyes and said with great certainty: "Now the Chinese National Defense Force has opened up a situation in Southeast Asia. I believe they will regain Southeast Asia soon. By then.

They will have spare power to support the Soviet battlefield, and at that time we will launch a counterattack and win the final victory!"

"I have no doubt about this, Mr. Kennan." Stalin said with a smile: "But the premise is that I must convince the other members of the committee to shift the balance of war to the Allies instead of the Axis Powers..."

While Kennan and Stalin were testing each other with words, Berlin also received a telegram from Ribbentrop. Ribbentrop stated in the telegram that the Soviet Union was now wary of Germany and hoped to get authorization if

If conditions permit, even cooperation with the Soviet Union is not out of the question.

"Kalinin is very interested in our proposal, but at the same time he is also extremely vigilant. The Soviet Union has now received a large amount of American aid, and we have no way of knowing how much it has received. Under such circumstances, we attack the Soviet Union,

It is undoubtedly an unwise choice..."

"If the distinguished head of state allows it, I hope to be authorized. When the conditions of the Soviet Union are in line with the interests of our Axis powers, then it is not impossible to allow them to join us. The Soviet Union's large natural and human resources can save the empire

Most of the consumption. And their geographical advantage can also help the empire complete the final blow against Britain and the United States..." (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
