On January 8, the light rain in Tehran turned into heavy snow. Amidst the vast whiteness, the five-nation summit was officially held at the Jincheng Hotel Conference Center.
As the initiator, Roosevelt presided over the first meeting. He first delivered a speech: "For the first time, Americans, British, Chinese and Russians have come together as members of the earth family. The only goal we have is...
Win this war. I hope everyone can discuss it freely and speak freely."
Churchill took over the topic: "This meeting symbolizes an unprecedented gathering of power in the entire world in the history of mankind. The happiness and destiny of mankind are completely in our hands."
Stalin raised the iconic pipe in his hand and said: "The friendship between the five major countries of the United States, Britain, the Soviet Union, China, and Tang is very important. I hope everyone will make good use of this opportunity, actively communicate, and get results that everyone is satisfied with."
"
Chiang Kai-shek looked serious: "I have brought the enthusiasm of the entire Chinese people. We will unite with all countries to completely defeat our opponents!"
An Yi made the final speech: "As I said in my New Year's speech, today, there is not much suspense about the victory of the war. I hope this meeting will be more pragmatic and negotiate post-war issues well, otherwise it will not only affect the immediate war, but also
It will even threaten the peace of the post-war world!"
An Yi's words suddenly dispelled everyone's brewing enthusiasm. The issue of profit distribution has always been the most difficult to resolve. Everyone thinks that their sacrifices and contributions are high, and they want to maximize their own interests, but this is impossible.
matter.
The meeting was fiercely confrontational from the beginning, with Stalin taking the lead in making his demands.
In fact, Stalin invited Roosevelt last night to discuss the opening of a second battlefield for the Allied forces in Europe. Now on the Mediterranean line, the Allied forces are firmly blocked in the southern Apennine Peninsula. If they want to capture the northern part of the heavily guarded German army, they must then cross the Alps.
The mountains push into France, Austria and Germany, making it an almost impossible task.
As for what Churchill said about landing in the Balkans, its political significance is greater than its practical significance. Britain's purpose was to block Soviet Russia's westward and southward expansion. If the Allied forces wanted to advance into Germany in the mountains of the Balkans, they had to
Only when you know the year of the monkey and the month of the horse can you complete it!
In fact, everyone knows it. Landing on the coast of the English Channel in France, and then advancing all the way to Germany, this road is the closest, and the battle line is easy to expand, which is very conducive to the advancement of mechanized troops, but it will easily attract the German army to move westward.
Opening the door for the Soviet Red Army to advance westward was almost unacceptable to Churchill.
However, rather than being wary of Soviet Russia's expansion in Europe, Churchill believed that South China's encroachment on British colonies in the Asia-Pacific region was even more unacceptable.
Therefore, in last night's consultation, Churchill promised that as long as Stalin took the initiative to take back the Soviet Union's lost lands in Siberia, Central Asia and the Far East at this meeting, he put great pressure on An Yi who was attending the meeting in exchange for concessions in other areas.
, then the Allies can consider implementing landings in Western Europe.
Although Stalin was extremely excited, considering that the Soviet-German battlefield was now entering a critical stage, the Soviet army could not do without the support of weapons and ammunition from South China. Moreover, he had previously signed a series of agreements with the South China government on behalf of Soviet Russia, including the demarcation of the borders between the two countries, etc.
, has long been disclosed to the world.
If it is easily overthrown, it will be untenable in international moral terms!
Under this circumstance, Stalin declined Churchill's suggestion, causing the meeting to break up on bad terms.
After Churchill and Roosevelt left, Stalin received a stern phone call from An Yi, claiming that if Stalin was unwilling to abide by the agreement signed between the two countries, then a series of trade agreements previously reached would also be cancelled, and he would pursue debts owed by the Soviet Russian government.
huge debt.
In order to ensure the dignity of the South China government and punish dishonest people, once Soviet Russia is unable to repay its debts within the deadline, the Anjia Army will use force to defend its property. It is not ruled out that it crosses the actual control line between the two countries from the eastern Ural Mountains and from the east
Possibility of attacking Kazan and Moscow.
Stalin, who had dealt with An Yi many times, knew that "Kutuzov of the East" meant what he said. The millions of An Yi troops stationed near the border were like the Sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of the Soviets.
, once they defect, with the current strength of the Soviet army, they will be defeated thousands of miles away.
Stalin was frightened and quickly promised that he would never cooperate with Britain and the United States to do anything detrimental to South China at this meeting.
Seeing that the territory east of the Ural Mountains and south of the Caucasus Mountains could not be recovered, Stalin decided to use his brains in Europe to gain a large amount of land from other European countries, and to open up the Baltic Sea from the west and the Mediterranean from the southwest.
passage to compensate for the huge losses suffered by Soviet Russia.
Stalin pretended to be arrogant and said: "Our Soviet Union undertook the main operations and made huge sacrifices in the anti-fascist war, so we have reason to demand more compensation. The Axis Powers do not exist in isolation, but are a cluster of countries
, In addition to the three initiating countries, Germany, Italy and Japan, there are also Hungary, Romania, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Croatia, Turkey, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Spain, Portugal, France and other countries as accomplices. Our meeting
The purpose is to let the evildoers receive adequate punishment."
"Based on this premise, we are prepared to acquire the territories of Finland, Sweden and northern Norway, Poland, Germany's territories on the Baltic Sea coast, Denmark's territories along the Kattegat and Skagerrak straits, Romania, and Bulgaria after the war.
The territory in the east, the western part of the Turkish peninsula and some European territories. In order to partially compensate for the losses of Romania and Bulgaria, some lands can be appropriately divided from Hungary and Yugoslavia!”
"This is impossible!"
Churchill immediately objected: "Except for Germany, Spain, Portugal and Sweden are neutral countries, while Denmark, Norway, France and other countries are coerced. Many countries are still resisting bravely under the leadership of their governments in exile, such as the Greek royal family and the Yugoslav royal family.
, Free French Movement, etc., and even Turkey’s Ismet Inonu government has partially restored sovereignty and fought tenaciously against the Nazis.”
"I need to solemnly state that under the iron heel of the Nazis and the puppet government established with the support of the Germans, the wrong decisions were made. This does not represent the will of the majority of the people in the country concerned and should have no legal effect, let alone be condemned and punished for it.
punish!"
When An Yi saw that Stalin and Churchill were the first to argue, he knew that there was no secret agreement between the two, and he felt relieved.
Stalin put down the pipe in his hand, glared at Churchill, and roared: "The parties to the Anti-Comintern Agreement are all abominable Nazis and must be fundamentally eradicated! We fought in the Battle of Moscow, the Battle of Stalingrad, the Battle of Leningrad and
During the Battle of Kursk, they encountered a large number of troops from Romania, Turkey, Bulgaria, Hungary, Spain, Finland, France and other countries. The Nazi SS also included many so-called volunteers from Sweden, Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands and other countries.
personnel."
"Among the prisoners of war we captured, there are two to three million prisoners of war from the so-called enslaved and coerced countries undergoing labor reform. They are all abominable executioners! If you don't believe it, you can always go to the mines and mines east of Moscow.
Factories and companies should go take a look at those who are undergoing labor reform! Let me remind everyone, assuming that they win this war in the end, who will come to pity us?"
"If the evildoers are not allowed to receive the punishment they deserve, but instead have a decent government-in-exile as a fig leaf, and they are not ashamed but proud to call themselves the victors. Then everyone will follow suit in the future. Anyway, a country is divided into two factions.
, whoever follows is a winner, and the final punishment will never fall on them... In this way, how can international justice and justice be upheld?"
"Therefore, I insist on my just opinion. At this meeting, any resolution that goes against this will not be accepted. It will become the enemy of all Soviet citizens!"
"What's the difference between doing this and the Germans?"
Churchill politely retorted: "Don't forget our basic principles in the Three Kingdoms Charter and the United Nations Declaration regarding the formulation of wartime national policies by allied countries - we must fully respect the wishes of each country, each region, and each nation, and do not
Seeking unjust territorial expansion and respecting the right of peoples to choose the form of government under which they live. But now what, are we the new Nazis?"
Stalin banged his pipe on the conference table and said angrily: "Mr. Winston, I want to remind you to recognize the fact that the war we are fighting is a just war, and the countries fighting us are naturally evil countries.
, as long as we hold a just opinion, it will naturally not violate the spirit of the Declaration."
"In addition, in order to fully respect the choices of the people of Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria and Turkey, we allow the citizens of these countries to freely choose the country where they live after territorial division.
Block for any reason."
“I personally believe that Chairman An Yi’s actions to help indigenous people build their own countries in West Asia, the subcontinent, Myanmar and Malaya are very consistent with the spirit of freedom and democracy and fully respect the wishes of all ethnic groups. It is a model that can be used today.
"
When Churchill heard this, he was very angry and immediately retorted: "So, the Soviet Union losing its territories in Siberia, Central Asia and the Far East is also in line with the international trend?"
Seeing that the two men were blushing and having a heated argument, Roosevelt quickly made peace: "I fully understand the huge sacrifices Soviet Russia has made to resist German fascism, and I also understand Prime Minister Churchill's efforts to maintain the inherent traditions of Europe! But!
, At present, the Nazis are still fighting us tenaciously, we should wait until the overall situation is decided before discussing this issue! What do you think?"
At present, Anjia's army is strong, and Stalin knows that there is little hope of regaining the lost territory. If the issue of division of post-war interests is not resolved at this time, and the West's hostile attitude towards Red Soviet Russia will definitely not be easy to reap when the overall situation is determined, so there will be no good results.
Unconvinced and said:
"The main topic of this meeting is to discuss post-war issues. Isn't the punishment of hostile countries we are discussing now a post-war issue? It is true that this issue is very complex and involves many interests. However, no matter what the future,
There will always be disputes today, so why not take advantage of the fact that the heads of state are here and resolve them together!"
Seeing that he couldn't get around it, Roosevelt couldn't help but smiled bitterly and shook his head.
An Yi and Chiang Kai-shek looked at each other and saw a hint of joy in each other's eyes. With Stalin and Churchill on their side, the three major Western countries would not be able to unite!
Chiang Kai-shek saw that Stalin's lion opened his mouth and muddied the water. He was no longer polite at the moment and told the whole story about the National Government's demands that he and An Yi had finalized last night. The focus was on asking the National Government to control the Australian mainland. This once again aroused strong opposition from Churchill.
.
On the contrary, An Yi's request to incorporate the Lanyin Islands and New Guinea into South China's territory after the war on the existing basis did not receive much attention because it did not touch the core interests of the United States and Britain.
Four days passed in the noisy meeting. Just when all parties gradually gave up their differences and reached agreement on some issues, bad news came from Australia on January 12:
When General Zhu Peide, Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, and Lieutenant General Zhan Huanqi, Chief of General Staff, led their troops northward along the eastern coast of Australia's Great Dividing Range to attack the city of Sydney, they were attacked by Japanese air-dropped poison gas bombs. While the officers and soldiers were hurriedly putting on gas masks, the Japanese troops
Taking advantage of the situation to cover up the attack, the expeditionary force was defeated.
Although in the chaos, the soldiers of the expeditionary force rescued the unconscious couple Zhu Peide and Zhan Huanqi, they died heroically because the best rescue time was delayed.
During the battle to attack Melbourne on the first day, General Zhang Zizhong, commander-in-chief of the Southern Route Army of the Expeditionary Force, and General Li Jiayu, deputy commander-in-chief, were also attacked by Japanese poison gas bombs. They fell into a coma and were urgently transferred to Wellington, New Zealand for rescue. Their lives were
Dying.
Chiang Kai-shek and An Yi were shocked when they heard the urgent report. They quickly applied to interrupt the meeting and rushed back to learn the details.
About five hours later, further news came.
The soldiers of the expeditionary force are basically equipped with gas masks, but the poison gas used by the Japanese army this time is a new type of poison gas that has never been seen before. It spreads very quickly and has amazing power. Many officers and soldiers immediately rushed to the scene after seeing the white smoke explode.
It was too late to put on the gas mask.
According to the reports of the injured and injured who were rescued, after the Japanese army dropped bombs, the battlefield was filled with smoke, and large and even oily spots appeared on the ground immediately. Then they smelled an abnormal smell, and their eyes and respiratory tract were strongly irritated.
Within a short period of time after putting on the gas masks, the officers and soldiers saw that bees, butterflies and flies had difficulty flying. They fluttered their wings and landed unwillingly. Birds flying nearby fell to the ground one after another. Flowers, grass, and leaves were discolored on a large scale.
Even withered, this shows the great harm caused by the Japanese poison gas bombs.
Anjiajun's biochemical experts stationed on the Australian frontline concluded that this poisonous gas was not traditional poisonous gases such as chlorine gas and mustard gas, but a new type of poisonous gas, similar to the legendary sarin gas developed by the Germans in 1938.
An Yi was furious and heartbroken.
Although Zhu Peide and his own ideas were different and they parted ways two years ago, An Yi's feelings for Zhu Peide, who was both his teacher and father, could not be let go.
When the Northern Expedition to Jiangbei failed miserably, An Yi was persecuted by Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi. It was Zhu Peide who brought him and the remnants of the Independent Division to Jiangxi after being seriously injured. After recuperating, he reorganized the Independent Division and gradually established a solid base. Later, the Anjia Army
Based in southern Sichuan and cooperating with Yunnan Wang Zhu Peide, Chiang Kai-shek did not dare to take action against the growing Anyi Group.
In a sense, it was Zhu Peide who helped An Yi through the most difficult years until the Anjia Army grew and became the largest local warlord force independent of the Central Army on the Chinese political stage. During this period, Zhu Peide has been acting as a
important role.
Let’s talk about Zhan Huanqi. Zhan Huanqi, who graduated from the fifth engineering and soldier communications department in Huangpu, is An Yi’s junior brother. In the autumn of 2026, he joined the model camp in Tonggu County, a small town in northwest Jiangxi Province, at the same time as Gu Changfeng. He successively served as An Yi’s communications staff officer and staff section chief.
As An Yi and An Jiajun grow up, they have a sworn brotherhood with Zhan Huanqi.
When Zhan Huanqi married Zhu Yunhua, Zhu Peide's youngest daughter, there was probably a marriage element in it. Although Zhan Huanqi later left the Anjiajun collective, she always responded to An Yi's requests. It can be said that the development and growth of Anjiajun is the result of Zhan Huanqi's hard work.
.
Now that both Zhu Peide and Zhan Huanqi have died, how can An Yi not be heartbroken?
While An Yi was grieving and crying, he called Gong Qian, Ye Qing and Feng Jieyun who were in Chang'an, asking them to go to Kunming immediately on his behalf to express condolences to the families of Zhu Peide and Zhan Huanqi. If Zhan Huanqi's wife, Zhu Yunhua, was willing, she could bring her four children there.
Chang'an, An Yi will take good care of it.
Chiang Kai-shek also called Nanjing and appointed Chen Cheng as the plenipotentiary representative to go to Kunming to attend the funeral. At the same time, Chiang Kai-shek urgently appointed Zhang Hongluan, king of Xiangxi, and Wang Shizhen, king of western Guizhou, as the chief and deputy commander-in-chief of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, and rushed to the Southwest Pacific theater to command operations.
