"Stalin, General Secretary of the Bolshevik Party of the Soviet Union, and Hitler, the leader and prime minister of the German Empire, after consultation, felt that it was most appropriate to announce several common principles of their two countries' policies to the world at this time.

First, the two Soviet and German socialist countries did not seek any territorial or other expansion in addition to regaining the lost land caused by all imposed unequal treaties;

Second, the two Soviet and German socialist countries did not want to see any territorial changes that were not consistent with the will of the people concerned for free expression;

Third, the two Soviet and German socialist countries supported all colonized and enslaved countries and the people's efforts to pursue independence and freedom; they hoped to see countries that had been deprived of their sovereignty and autonomy by force and regain their sovereignty and autonomy rights;

Fourth, both Soviet and German socialist countries believed that all countries, regardless of size, victories or defeats, had the opportunity to participate in world trade and obtain world raw materials under the same conditions in order to achieve their economic prosperity;

Fifth, the two Soviet and German socialist countries hope to help the world's backward countries and liberated colonies to make progress in both economic and social aspects, and to maintain independence and freedom forever;

Sixth, after the tyranny of colonialism was finally eliminated, the two Soviet and German socialist countries wanted to ensure world peace, independence and freedom of all countries, and to strive to promote coexistence and prosperity on our planet, including those who lost;

Seventh, the two Soviet and German socialist countries believed that in order to achieve true peace and freedom, all countries in the world must gradually abandon colonialism. If the so-called world empires that have huge colonies overseas and cruelly exploit the colonial people and the monopoly financial oligarchs behind them refuse to give up their cruel policy of colonial oppression, peace and freedom in the world will not be achieved; the Soviet Union and Germany will also fight firmly in various forms;

Eighth, the two Soviet and German socialist countries called on all progressive countries in the world that oppose colonialism and support colonial liberation and independence to immediately join the movement against colonialism, work together to win the best tomorrow for all mankind.

Joseph Visarionovic Stalin

December 12, 1939, Riga.”

The above is the entire content of the "Declaration of the Liberators" (also known as the "Riga Charter") to be published to the world on December 12, 1939.

It is very tall and sufficient to resonate with the working people of Asia and Africa who are oppressed by British and French imperialism. At the same time, it also posed a huge problem for the liberal and democratic beacon country on the other side of the Atlantic.

...

"How can they do this? They are obviously two robbers, but they actually have shamelessly packaged themselves as liberators! This is the most shameful deception I have ever seen since I entered politics!"

In the White House, in the Oval Office, U.S. Secretary of State Cordell Hull is loudly condemning the Liberator Declaration.

Roosevelt chuckled after hearing his words. He looked at Hull and Hopkins's surprised gaze and said with a smile: "We have a good opponent, don't we? We underestimate Hitler and regard him as a Mussolini-like fascist. In fact, he is a Bismarck!"

Hopkins interrupted in a sharp, serious tone and said: "President, Hitler and Stalin have given us a big problem! They raised the banner of opposing colonialism... and no one would think that the Germans were lying. Because Germany had no colonies, and Germany's enemies were precisely two huge colonial empires."

"So what?" Roosevelt's expression became serious. "The Germans cannot expect Indians, Arabs or African blacks as allies. And Stalin... His declaration with Hitler did not mean that the Soviet Union would join the war. I think the Soviet Union just wanted to divide its legacy without risk after the collapse of the British Empire. So Germany is still fighting alone! If the British Empire is smarter, it still has the opportunity to win over the Soviet Union."

"President, you mean..." Harry Hopkins asked.

"Instead of letting others enjoy their inheritance after death, it is better to use wealth on the blade when they are alive!" said Roosevelt. "Harry, you have figured out Stalin's trump card. He needs real interests, and the British Empire happens to have the benefits that the Tsar wants most."

What the Tsar wanted most was of course to recover Constantinople and thus open up the passage to the Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean! And Stalin, the red tsar, was no exception.

"But this is impossible," said Cordell Hull. "The British Empire could not give up on the Middle East."

Roosevelt seemed very helpless and raised his eyebrows. "The British Empire is about to die, and he is still reluctant to spend money to buy medicine like a wealthy slave. Then America will be powerless."

He looked at Secretary of State Hull, who said, "President, I will pass on your words to Prime Minister Chamberlain."

Roosevelt said: "You tell the British again that the Neutral Act will be passed in Congress soon. The F2A buffalo plane they need is now ready and ready to take off. In addition, the Atlantic Fleet will soon launch an armed cruise on the New York-Iceland route to defend the freedom of navigation in the United States!"

...

"On behalf of the Emperor of the German Empire and the entire German people, I wish the great socialist Soviet Union to be prosperous and prosperous and strong under the wise leadership of the Bolshevik Party!"

In the magnificent Riga Castle, a celebration party was being held to celebrate the joint publication of the Soviet Union and Germany of the Liberator Declaration.

German leader and Prime Minister Adolf Hitler held up a wine glass with boiled water and spoke toasts in an emotional tone.

Although Stalin, the leader of the Soviet Union's father, could not understand the German spoken by Hitler, he immediately raised his wine glass with vodka: "The friendship between Germany and the Soviet people, created by the older generation of leaders (Emperor William and Comrade Lenin), condensed with blood and life, will surely become unbreakable in the great journey of realizing socialism all over the world!"

"Long live the unbreakable Soviet-German friendship!"

"Long live the Soviet Union and Germany unity under the banner of socialism!"

The people in the banquet hall all raised their wine glasses together and spoke in the most sincere and cheerful tone wishing Soviet-German friendship and unity.

Hesman and Voroshilov stood side by side, holding a glass filled with champagne in their hands, and whispered with Voroshilov in Russian after saying the toast.

"Comrade Voroshilov, the current Brest Fortress is not what it was in 1917. After the Poles took over it, they invested heavily. When Bissusky was alive, the most worried thing was that you launched an attack. Therefore, the defense there can be almost comparable to the Maginot line! Therefore, it is really not General Pavlov's fault that the Red Army failed to attack for a long time. There is no way for me to do it."

The bloody battle of Brest continues! Stalin was delaying the meeting time, just for Brest, he hoped to meet Hitler in a glorious way after the Red Army liberated Brest.

But the result made him very embarrassed. A fortress actually resisted the Soviet Red Army for two months and has not yet been defeated.

However, as long as you understand the defense situation of the Brest Fortress, you can understand why the Soviet Red Army could not defeat it for a long time. It was not that the Red Army could not fight, but that the fortress was too strong. The defense system, the Maginot Line and the Ziegfe Line were like that. If Pavlov had commanded hundreds of thousands of Red Army to attack the Maginot Line, the result would definitely be the current result.

The defense of this kind of fortification requires a slow bombardment of heavy artillery with super-caliberated caliber to break through. During World War I, the German army was also blocked in front of the Liege Fortress for more than ten days. In the end, it was only after four 420mm caliber "Big Betha" that bombed for 5 days before destroying 12 reinforced concrete fortresses.

However, in Brest, the Soviet Red Army did not have such a killer. Although the Soviet Red Army pursued artilleryism, the Soviet Union has also established many factories for producing artillery and shells with the help of Germany in the past 20 years. However, it is still relatively backward in the production and manufacturing of super-large-caliber artillery.

At present, the most ferocious large-caliber artillery in Stalin's arsenal are the Br-18 305mm heavy howitzer and TM-3-12 305mm/l-52 train cannon. Although this kind of artillery is fierce, it is a relic of the Tsarist era, and the Poles have long known the details. When expanding and strengthening the Brest Fortress, the anti-cannon requirements for important fortresses can withstand several bombardments by the 305mm caliber artillery.

Therefore, after clearing the periphery of Brest, the 305mm caliber cannons mobilized by Pavlov did not blow up the 12 fortresses surrounding the core elements of Brest.

Without heavy artillery, Pavlov was helpless and launched several strong attacks, but suffered heavy losses. However, Stalin did not remove him from office and investigate, because the Ukrainian battle was also not smooth. The city of Kiev was fought for more than a month, and Vinnica was not captured until December 10, while Odessa's resistance continued to this day.

At the same time, the stubborn resistance of the Ukrainian counter-revolutionary bandits also caused the Red Army to suffer, and the process of establishing Bolshevik rule in various parts of Ukraine on the right bank was not as fast as expected. For this reason, Comrade Khrushchev had written several very profound reviews that touched the soul. He still underestimated the situation of the intense E-level struggle in Ukraine on the right bank!
