Chapter 794 (1/2)
This was true of the dwarfs at this time. Although the two sides reached a ”friendly” agreement, both sides had the intention to move towards ”peace”, but the Soviet Union delayed signing the agreement for political reasons.
Moscow can afford to drag on, but Berlin, which is ready to mobilize for the war against Poland, can't wait.
After many attempts by the dwarfs, Britain and France refused to make concessions in Poland.
Once the war begins, and Germany and the Soviet Union do not reach an agreement, then Britain and France are likely to be forced to go to war with Germany under pressure and the initiative of the Soviet Union.
At that time, the trend of the war will be unfavorable to Germany, which is what the dwarfs have to worry about, and it is also one of the important factors for the emergence of the Soviet German non aggression agreement.
The Soviet side finally submitted a draft non aggression treaty to the German ambassador in Moscow.
However, when the ambassador proposed an attempt to visit Moscow as soon as possible by the German foreign minister, the other side politely refused his request.
Four days later, the time is getting more and more tense. At this moment, the dwarf decides to make some changes.
At this time, he put down his airs and decided to directly communicate with the supreme leader of the Soviet Union, and personally requested that he, the ”dictator” of the Soviet Union, which he had always denounced and cursed for a long time, immediately allow his foreign minister, libentrop, to go to Moscow.
In the telegram, signed directly to Stalin by the dwarf, he said: ”I sincerely welcome the signing of the new German Soviet agreement, which will be the first and important step in improving German Soviet relations.
The conclusion of a non aggression treaty with the Soviet Union means, for me, the establishment of Germany's long-term policy, from which Germany will resume the policy guidelines that were beneficial to both our countries... ”
At the end of the telegram, the dwarf also pointed out that he accepted the draft non aggression treaty and hoped that a full-time responsible German politician would come to Moscow to negotiate in person.
Naturally, this refers to his foreign minister, Mr. libentrop, and also points out that in view of the current international situation, he can stay in Moscow for up to two days.
After the telegram was sent, the spirit of the dwarf has been in a state of tension, and even insomnia.
Later that night, he called his confidant Goering to talk about the content of the telegram and how the Soviet side would react to his telegram.
Until 9:28 p.m. on the 21st, he received the exact reply from the Soviet side that he agreed to visit Moscow on the 23rd, and the stone in the dwarf's heart suddenly fell.
Frequent exchanges between Moscow and Berlin have not been exposed to the eyes of western countries due to strict confidentiality.
The same was true of libentrop, who was taken to the Kremlin the first time he arrived in Moscow.
Both sides had a cold discussion and agreement on the text of the agreement. The atmosphere of the meeting was far from friendly, and even the air seemed to be about to condense.
The assistant who accompanied the German foreign minister to record the meeting wrote: ”libentrop himself added an important speech on the friendly relations between Germany and the Soviet Union in his foreword, which was opposed by Stalin.
He said that the Soviet government could not suddenly bring a declaration of German Soviet friendship to the public after being unilaterally dumped with dirty water and feces by NC for six years... ”
Both the participants and the dwarfs waiting for the news clearly understood that the Soviet German non aggression treaty was only an expedient measure.
Without friendly declaration and hypocritical attitude, the war between them will be inevitable.
…………
When the Soviet German non aggression agreement was officially signed and announced, the whole world was in a state of uproar.
The ”Munich front”, which Chamberlain was trying to maintain, was smashed.
