When Stalin received this news, he finally let go of the huge stone in his heart. But now that Operation Barbarossa has been implemented, can Stalin's wish be realized? The answer is no. Now that the war machine has started, it will never stop.
The excuses are easy to find, such as Germany's commitment to the one-Soviet agreement, while the Soviet Union repeatedly broke it, and the Soviet Union carried out sabotage, terror and espionage activities against Germany. The Soviet Union opposed German efforts to establish a stable order in Europe. Together with Britain, it conspired to attack German forces in Romania and Bulgaria. It threatened Germany by concentrating all available Russian forces on a long front from the Baltic to the Black Sea.
Any of the above can be an excuse for Germany to launch a war. Moreover, most of the Soviet Red Army in the Soviet Union is indeed concentrated on the border with Germany. The 150 divisions of the Soviet Red Army are the best excuse for Germany to launch a war.
Lin Wei spent the busiest few days after coming to this world. If he lived by the day before, Lin Wei spent these days by counting the seconds. Finally, the date of Operation Barbarossa arrived. William II was still in a coma, but not dead. Just as he promised Lin Wei, William II promised to watch Germany attack the Soviet Union, personally read out the declaration of war, and launch the mobilization order.
At the German airport near the Soviet Union, the fighters and dive bombers of the five air fleets have been prepared. The 150 divisions of the German Wehrmacht are ready to launch the largest war in history as soon as the Supreme Command gives an order. .
On the night of June 21, German Ambassador to the Soviet Union Schulenburg received a telegram from Foreign Minister Ribbentrop. Schulenburg had spent most of his life dedicated to improving German-Soviet relations. He knew that the attack on the Soviet Union was Unprovoked and unjustified. What could he say now except that he was shocked and disillusioned? He arrived at the Kremlin at dawn, and Stalin personally received Schulenburg. Schulenburg read out the German statement. Stalin was finally stunned. He listened silently and then said: "This is war. Do you think we should be treated like this?"
In summary, the German government declares that the Soviet government has violated its obligations by 1. not only continuing but even intensifying its attempts to undermine Germany and Europe; 2. adopting an increasingly anti-German foreign policy; 3. All troops were concentrated on the German border and prepared. In this way the Soviet government had broken some of the treaties it had concluded with Germany and was about to attack Germany from the rear in its struggle for survival. Therefore, Germany's armed forces used all the forces at their disposal to deal with this threat.
Throughout the afternoon of June 21, Molotov telephoned the Foreign Ministry and requested a meeting with Ribbentrop in order to present his mild protest against further border violations by German aircraft. At midnight, Ribbentrop finally informed Molotov to meet, and Molotov immediately rushed to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to meet with Ribbentrop. Dekanosov was invited into the room, and apparently not suspecting that anything was going on, he held out his hand to Ribbentrop.
"Let's sit down and talk," Dekanosov began, raising certain issues on behalf of his government that needed to be clarified. But as soon as he spoke, the expressionless Ribbentrop interrupted him and said: "This is not the issue to be discussed now."?
Then Ribbentrop went on to explain what the problem was. He gave Molotov a copy of the memorandum that Schulenburg was reading to Stalin at the time, and informed him that the German army was taking military countermeasures on the Soviet border. "In the early hours of the morning, the Imperial Wehrmacht will attack the Soviet Union. Mr. Molotov, you still have time to leave Berlin. With diplomatic immunity, you can definitely return to the Soviet Union safely!"
From the time Ribbentrop spoke, Molotov knew that the rumors that Germany had attacked the Soviet Union were true. What was even more tragic was that Molotov was still sending telegrams to Moscow just three days ago. Zhong said that Germany would never attack Germany in a short time. Molotov was surrounded by huge humiliation, but the angrier he became, the calmer Molotov became. Molotov slowly stood up and said, " Mr. Ribbentrop, you Germany will definitely regret it!" After saying this, Molotov strode out.
Ribbentrop immediately stopped Molotov and said, "Please believe me, I have always been opposed to this plan, but I am a German and I must serve my country!"
"You are loyal to your country, but you can't change Germany's defeat!" Molotov said coldly, "The Soviet Union is not France! Time will prove the correctness of my words!" Indeed, others do not know the true nature of the Soviet Red Army Molotov knew the strength clearly. The equipment of the Soviet Red Army was no worse than that of Germany, or even much better. The scale is even greater.
"Really? Mr. Molotov!" The voice came from outside the door. Following the voice, a man in black military uniform came in. This man was Lin Wei. Lin Wei glanced at Ribbentrop with an unusual look. , said to Molotov, "Actually, you should know that it is impossible for our two countries to coexist peacefully because we both have strong military forces. We are not trying to overthrow the Soviet Union. The Soviet system has nothing to do with Germany. But the Soviet Union cannot have such a huge armed force. Mr. Foreign Affairs Commissioner, please tell Comrade Stalin when you go back that we have not forgotten the friendship between the National Socialist Party and the Communist Party, the SS and the KGB, but when it comes to national issues, it is not our friendship that can Changed! Also, I can guarantee the safety of all Soviet Red Army soldiers captured during the war!"
Speaking of this, Lin Wei bowed slightly. The Soviet Union and Germany once had a honeymoon period. The two countries were blocked by the United Kingdom and France and lived together through the most difficult days. However, all this happened with the German attack. The smoke disappeared.
Molotov left. While Lin Wei was still immersed in memories of the past, Molotov left the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In the past, the two countries had almost achieved a comrade-like friendship, but in the end they still had to see each other on the battlefield.
It would be false to say that there is no heartache. The two countries have been cooperating for more than 20 years despite being blocked, although they have been prepared for each other's attacks. But that experience is not something that can be easily forgotten. While Lin Wei was still sentimental, Stalin only had one hour left to prepare...
