Roosevelt knew more about politics.
When the Soviet Union and Germany had just entered a state of war, the United States had not taken action. After all, the Soviet Union was also bullied at that time. It believed that the Soviet Union's millions of troops were not like Britain and France.
Now, the Soviet Union is being beaten up by the Germans and is indeed aware of the huge gap between the Soviet Union and the Germans in the army.
The German army swept across Europe, relying not only on strategic wisdom, but also on the German's own advantages. Their army is the most powerful, well-equipped, experienced, brave and disciplined.
When the German war machine started, it was a sweeping situation.
Now, the Soviet Union has been beaten, and the Soviet Union is very injured. At this time, the Soviet Union can recover only through blood transfusion from the United States.
Of course, the United States will not support and strengthen the Soviet Union at once. The best outcome is, of course, that the Soviet Union contains Germany and both sides lose.
The Soviet Union warmly welcomed the arrival of the Americans. In fact, Hopkins informed the Soviet Union before his arrival, but they focused all their attention on Petersburg and forgot about it long ago. Now, the arrival of the Americans is just sending charcoal in the snow.
In a secluded room in the Kremlin, Stalin cordially met the Hopkins party. Not only the Americans came, he also saw other old faces.
For example, Stan fallipps, a former British ambassador to Moscow, left Moscow as a diplomat appointed by George VI after Edward VIII came to power. Now he has come here secretly again.
Hopkins's appearance is not good. He is quite thin. He can almost see the bulging cheekbones on his face.
He was born in a humble family and lived a difficult life from childhood. As a child suffering from typhoid, frail and sick, it has the nickname of "thin skinned monkey".
However, one cannot judge by appearance. Such a skinny monkey has become the most important aide around Roosevelt. Now, he has a great responsibility to visit the Soviet Union.
"We are very supportive of the Great Patriotic War of the Soviet Union. Now, the whole world is shrouded in the shadow of the axis powers. We must unite to defeat these damn lunatics." Hopkins said, "just after I got off the plane, I got the news from Petersburg. Please allow me to express condolences to the dead there on behalf of Roosevelt and the United States. This is another war crime committed by the Germans."
Hundreds of thousands of people died in Petersburg at once, which was the heaviest blow to the Soviet Union. Stalin also looked serious: "the German massacre will not scare us, but will only arouse our patriotic enthusiasm. Our 200 million people in the Soviet Union will continue to fight with the belief of victory."
In fact, the Soviet Union had just 180 million people before the outbreak of the war. Stalin was right to round it.
"Yes, we firmly believe that justice will prevail." Hopkins said: "at the same time, we will also extend our hand, although we are also very difficult, and will support the just cause of the Soviet Union."
Before the war broke out, the military strength of the Soviet Union was not weak, and a large number of troops, aircraft and tanks were deployed on the border. However, now, the Soviet army has disappeared one by one, and the equipment has been greatly reduced.
Now that the Americans are here to support, Stalin will never be polite.
"Yes, we need the support of American friends. We need aircraft, artillery, tanks, food and fuel. We lack everything now." Stalin said.
Tanks, planes and artillery are all transported here. There are not too many.
Stalin was full of hope. It seemed that American support would be delivered tomorrow. At this time, he was a little naive.
"Food and fuel, we can start to support immediately. It's humanitarian." Hopkins said: "as long as we do the handover and plan the route, we can transport quickly. However, tanks, aircraft, artillery and these heavy weapons are not what we can make a decision immediately. After all, they are related to many of our internal problems. "
Food and fuel can be humanitarian relief supplies. Now, the Pacific is not peaceful. If the United States wants to transport these supplies to the Soviet Union, it must plan the route.
As for those heavy weapons, it's hard to say. After the establishment of the Soviet Union, the ideology was different from that of the West.
Hearing this, Stalin's face changed. So he came to play with me? What's the use of food and fuel without weapons?
However, as a politician, he was not immediately angry. He knew that Americans had something to say.
Sure enough, Hopkins continued: "I suggest that the governments of the United States, the Soviet Union, Britain and our three countries hold a positive response, so that we can make a common study on the relevant strategic interests on each battlefield and the interests of our countries."
When the United States supports weapons, it must first say everything. It must say in advance how to distribute these interests in the Atlantic battlefield, the Pacific battlefield, Europe and the Middle East.
Between countries, interests are the only one. If there are no interests, how can the United States support the Soviet Union!
Stalin nodded: "I have no doubt about holding such a meeting. I hope we can hold it as soon as possible, just in Moscow, how about it?"
Then Stalin explained, "in this way, I can attend the meeting in person."
Now that the Soviet Union is fighting fiercely, Stalin can't go anywhere else to attend the meeting. This reason is normal.
Hopkins nodded: "OK, I will tell President Roosevelt as soon as possible that we will start the details of various support at the next meeting. However, seeing your recent actions, we find that you are in urgent need of fighters."
Petersburg was bombed because the fighter plane was suck. The main fighters of the Soviet Union were blown up almost the first day of the war, and the existing aircraft output simply could not keep up with the need for fighting.
Stalin was immediately delighted.
"Therefore, although the specific meeting has not yet started, we in the United States can first provide a batch of fighters for your use to help you guard your airspace." Hopkins said.
"On behalf of the Soviet Union, I would like to thank our American friends for sending carbon in the snow." Stalin was very happy. The technical level of the Americans was much higher than that of the Soviet Union. The fighter provided by the United States would play a great role in the Soviet Patriotic War.
