Chapter 170

Roosevelt seemed to be anxious.

[Comrade Stalin, when did you succeed in creating that amazing weapon? Is your previous promise to join the war against Japan still valid? How much has the Soviet Unions diplomatic position changed from before?]

Hahaha President Roosevelt, I only want to maintain a good relationship with my best friend, America.

[Unfortunately, America may find it hard to think of the Soviet Union as a friend anymore. Friendship sadly, friendship is only possible when the powers are similar, dont you think? If the Soviet Union can destroy America at any time]The debut release of this chapter happened at Ñøv€l-B1n.

But I had no intention of turning against America.

America was still the worlds strongest power, and only America didnt know that.

Even Roosevelt, who had some idea of Americas tremendous national strength, couldnt compare the economic scale of America and other countries accurately.

The countries that started the world war.

That is, Germany, Britain, France, Italy, plus China and Japan, couldnt match Americas economic scale.

In the actual history of 1945, America alone accounted for nearly half of the worlds GDP.

Now, if the Soviet Union, which had received a lot of aid from America and inflated its weight enormously, were to be added to the rest of the great powers, it might barely catch up with America.

America still boasted a formidable economic power without any loss of territory, and the Soviet Union didnt need to antagonize America and pursue hegemony.

Do you think so, President Roosevelt? The Soviet Union will never destroy our good friends, the Americans. No matter what weapon we have, that will not change. If I order an attack on America, my subordinate General Zhukov might stage a coup! Hahaha!

[Hahaha Why is that?]

Thats because he has become a body that cant live without Coca-Cola. Many of the Soviet people will be like that. We have focused on the military industry, so we need the wonderful things that America makes. A war with America would be tantamount to starving our people to death!

[Hahahahaha! That was very funny this time. Anyway, I understand what you said, Comrade Stalin. It would be nice if the Soviet army could help us as an ally to finish off Japan. It seems that the blood of our American youth would flow less.]

It wasnt a joke.

Roosevelt didnt have to ask, Japan had to be hit anyway.

To expand our influence in the Far East and tear apart the puppet states in the future.

Of course. The Soviet army is always ready well, but its inevitable that we need a month of maintenance after a huge war. I promise you. The Soviet army will definitely join the war against Japan!

[Im glad to hear that, Comrade Stalin.]

If you want, the Soviet Union is willing to transfer technology to America related to weapon development.

[Is that really?!]

Roosevelt seemed to jump out of the phone.

In the actual history, the Manhattan Project hadnt even succeeded in the nuclear bomb experiment yet.

In that situation, he would offer to teach the secret of the nuclear weapon that couldnt be bought with any money.

He would want to get it even if he had to sell his soul.

But I knew.

When the Manhattan Project would succeed, and how much it would cost.

Of course! But it may take a little time for our researchers to organize the relevant data. We need a lot of things to rebuild the ruined country and revive the nation

[gulp.]

I heard Roosevelt swallow his saliva. He seemed to want to change the subject, but it didnt matter.

I want to offset the payment for the lend-lease materials and get some economic aid, is that possible?

[Well ahem Ill consult with them.]

I hope to hear the results of your consultation soon. There was an opinion in our Politburo to transfer the actual weapon, but I dont know what will happen

[Ill let you know very soon! Very soon! Well then]

He must have rushed to convene a cabinet meeting.

Molotov, who was standing in front of me, looked at me with a look of doubt.

Of course, he didnt know the situation between them and us.

This sight you wont see it again even if you pay money. Look at it a lot now. Ehehehehehe

The room was small and cozy. There was a big and soft-looking chair in the middle, and four chairs were lined up. Facing one side of the room with a glass window.

What is this?

Ah! Dont worry. They cant see us from over there.

Through the glass window, I could see Molotov sitting down. Their voices were played back to this side through the microphone.

Who is that?

Hes the Japanese ambassador, Naotake Sato. Hahaha he begged for an interview with Minister Molotov

A white-bearded Japanese with a friendly face and half-bald head sat down, sweating profusely. Molotov refused to shake hands and started talking bluntly.

What is your purpose, Ambassador?

Well its nothing but the reconfirmation of the Soviet-Japanese Neutrality Pact. The term of the treaty is five years

The Soviet Union has no intention of renewing the current Soviet-Japanese Neutrality Pact.

He seemed to have expected it, but he was shocked by hearing it directly. Sato gasped and coughed. Molotov didnt bother to wait politely, but he was still blunt.

The Soviet Union has been seriously threatened by Japans imperialist expansion in the Far East. The Japanese Empire joined Germany, which invaded the Soviet Union, and formed the Axis alliance, and committed acts of aggression that violated international law.

Gulp, gah wait just a moment!

"Japans crimes against humanity in China, Korea, Manchuria and elsewhere are well known. The Soviet Union can no longer tolerate these war crimes, and Japan wants to propose the following treaty.

The Japanese Empire can agree to extend the mutual non-aggression pact with the Soviet Union. The deadline we propose is four weeks from today."

Molotov threw a heavy pile of paper on Satos desk.

Sato had no time to argue about the diplomatic rudeness. He hurriedly looked at the treaty, wondering what the Soviet Union was demanding. He sighed and put down the treaty.

All the colonies and islands occupied by war on the continent, Taiwan, Ryukyu no, Okinawa, Sakhalin, the Kuril Islands, Hokkaido this is practically leaving only the Japanese mainland, isnt it?

Read more.

and for the other islands and territories, they will follow the decision of the trusteeship authority. In other words, any part can be decided by this trusteeship authority, right?

In other words, yes.

The trusteeship authority consists of ah, the Soviet Union, the United States, China, Britain

Yes.

Sato pushed the treaty slightly toward Molotov with a trembling wrist.

But Molotov pushed the treaty back to Sato.

Read more.

When he snapped his fingers, the guard who had been standing still like a lead doll put a glass of water in front of Sato.

Sato still shakily picked up the glass and gulped it down. His hand trembled and water droplets splashed on his cheek and chest, but he seemed to have no room to care about that.

Next chapter.

!

Now his hands, eyes, and teeth began to tremble. Molotov seemed to be interested in the sight of his teeth clattering and his pupils shaking.

The abolition of the emperor and the international trial of the war criminal Hirohito! What is this! This is an outrageous demand! This is not interference in internal affairs?

Ambassador Sato, you have two choices.

Let me hear them.

Molotov rummaged through his pocket and pulled out a piece of paper and began to read. Sato, who looked like he was about to jump out of his seat with a flushed face, and Molotov, who only said what he wanted without caring, made a comical contrast.

Your protest is meaningless. The Soviet Union has no intention of changing the treaty it recommended, regardless of any measures taken by the Japanese Empire. And personally, to you

All you have left is your personal dignity. I advise you to keep it.
