    After the Republican Army dispatched its air force to carry out high-intensity bombing against the attacking Soviet troops in the North Caussus, Zhuyashvili was most nervous about the movements on the other side of the Urals. After receiving the news that the Republican Army and the Siberian Defense Forces were only strengthening on the other side of the border,  After being alerted and having no intention of crossing the border, the leader recovered from his panic.

    "Intelligence obtained from neutral diplomatic agencies is that the Chinese have no intention of launching a full-scale attack on us. On the contrary, they have even been forcing Hitler to give up the attack and engage in peace talks with us. According to reliable information obtained from within the Republican Army, the Chinese  Entering Ukraine is only to prevent the Germans from suffering a more serious defeat. Their targets are limited to the areas currently occupied by German soldiers and civilians. If we do not take the initiative to launch an attack on them, the Chinese will not cross the current German defense lines."  Security Bureau Chief Beria first reported the intelligence obtained from all aspects to the people's commissars and military commanders present at the emergency military meeting convened by Zhuyashvili. This information made the leaders present slightly relaxed.  One breath.

    "Comrade Beria, are you sure that the Chinese will not cross the current defense line?" Zhuyashvili paced back and forth on the red carpet next to the huge desk, holding his iconic pipe in his hand, and kept talking.  smoking a cigarette.  After a moment of silence, he stood at the table, turned around and stared at Beria's face with stern eyes.

    "It should be like this. This is the news I got from the Scythe." Cold sweat broke out on Beria's face. He knew that this matter was related to his life and fortune. If something went wrong.  So what awaits him.

    "Well, let's put it this way. The source of the information is very reliable, and you have done a good job!" Zhuyashvili's expression softened after Beria mentioned "scythe", and even his tone became relaxed.  "Sickle" is a senior spy trained by Soviet Russia in the Democratic Party. Only Marin, Beria and he, who are in charge of the international affairs, can know his situation. This is top secret.  "Sickle" is a senior general of the Republican Army and has access to most of the details of the Republican Army's combat plans. The information obtained from him should be very accurate.

    The joyful look on the faces of the marshals in the Supreme Command due to the huge victory they had just won in the defense of the Volga River area disappeared. Shortly after the Republican Army signed an agreement with the Germans, the Supreme Command received the news.  Zhuyashvili hoped to recover the entire North Caucasus and Kuban area before the arrival of the Chinese, but failed.

    The actions of the Chinese-Italian coalition forces were too fast. Logically speaking, such a large military operation requires a preparation period of half a year. It seems that the enemy has already made arrangements in this regard.

    "The matter is very serious, Comrade Zhuyashvili." Supreme Deputy Commander-in-Chief Marshal Zhukov said: "The new enemy we face is different from the Germans. The Chinese have sufficient manpower. Their total army exceeds 16 million. They are equipped with tanks.  The number is about 50,000, which is almost 10 times that of the Germans. Their air force has more than 70,000 aircraft, which we cannot compare with." What Zhukov said is the truth. The Republic of China has a total of more than 700 million aircraft.  The population, even if the whole of Europe combined, is not as large as theirs.  And they are the only country in the world that can compare with the United States in terms of industrial capabilities.  The Soviet army was able to win the battle to defend the Volga River area, and American assistance played a big role in it.  In 1942, the Soviet Union received more than 1.5 million tons of aid materials from the United States and Britain, which included a large amount of aluminum materials that were in short supply for aircraft manufacturing and special steel materials that the Soviet Union could not produce.

    In addition, the 6,000 aircraft and 4,000 sets of tank engines and chassis provided directly by the United States and Britain also directly changed the balance of power on the battlefield.  The large number of engines and metal materials "smuggled" from Siberia, which cost a lot of gold and silver, also allowed the Soviet Union's aircraft and tank production to reach 30,000 and 15,000 in 1942. These things were the fundamental reason for changing the balance of power between the Soviet Union and Germany.

    "What is the purpose of the Chinese? Comrade Molotov. They seem to have contacted the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. And what are their plans for our allies?" Zhuyashvili turned to face the People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs.

    "Churchill promised to open a second battlefield as soon as possible. The Allies have made preparations for landing in Northern Europe, but the United States believes that the time for landing in France is far from mature. Churchill promised to urgently provide us with 500,000 tons of supplies and 6,000 aircraft.  aircraft and 3,000 tanks." Molotov said, "The Chinese have no plan to fully invade us. Their purpose is to stabilize the current situation on the Eastern Front battlefield and at the same time require us to reach a ceasefire with Germany! I think that at the current moment,  Under the circumstances, temporarily accepting the Chinese conditions is a good way to gain time."

    "Well, we need time to regain strength, so what is the opinion of the General Staff?" Zhuyashvili raised his head and looked at Zhukov and Vasilevsky sitting on the window side.

    "Please forgive me, I'm not very clear about diplomacy, but if we reach a ceasefire agreement with the Germans, although it will help us rearm our arms, it will also giveThe Chinese have gained time.  I fear that the current ceasefire line may become a permanent border.  "Vasilevsky's concerns are reasonable, but his qualifications are not enough to allow him to be as outspoken as Zhukov, and he can only express his views cautiously.

    "The question now is whether we have the strength to withstand the Chinese attack alone, as well as the Germans and Italians!" Zhukov said, "Strategically speaking, an armistice is relatively beneficial to us I don't think the Americans and  The British have the ability to defeat the Allies, and if we fail completely, I believe they will immediately enter into peace talks with the Allies."

    "Yes, if we are in disaster, I believe that even these aids will disappear soon. The British are just using us to contain Germany. This is the biggest reason why they have been supporting us." Zhuyashvili sucked heavily.  Smoke, the entire head was hidden in a cloud of blue smoke, making it difficult to see his expression clearly, "Perhaps, if the Soviet Union failed and faced with millions of Allied troops landing in England, Churchill he  If the United States would actively seek peace with the Allied Powers to end this war in exchange for Britain's survival, then the United States' continued participation in the war would be meaningless. We are now facing the same dangerous situation as in early 1918. Think about what we should do.  "

    Zhuyashvili suddenly raised his voice, and his expression even became a little excited. He turned around and walked to the bookcase behind his desk, took out a copy of "Selected Works of Ulyanov" from it, and then continued: "  Our great leader has actually told us how to choose! In order to withdraw from the war and for the survival of the Soviet regime, Comrade Ulyanov withstood the pressure and insisted on signing the Brest-Litovsk Agreement with the Germans.  Treaty, now it seems that this is such a correct decision. Now, we are also facing the same choice!"
