102. Compromise

Originally, Moscow's side could be said to be nine out of ten about taking Mongolia, and they had already calculated that they would take Mongolia as quickly as possible, and when China reacted and wanted to recapture Mongolia, they could have a good fight with the Chinese army because of their geographical advantage.

When the Provisional Government was in power, the war between Russia and China was a shame for them, so after coming to power, the Soviets could not wait to wash away this shame and prove that they were different from the Provisional Government, and that the Chinese were not so terrible.

However, they did not expect that as early as when they were at war with the Mongols, the Chinese army was already waiting at the border, and they did not expect that their own army would be so vulnerable in front of the Chinese army.

Since the defeat of the Provisional Government by the Chinese army and the recapture of many of the lost territories from Russia, the Soviet government did not dare to underestimate the Chinese army, but they did not expect that, in the end, they still underestimated the strength of the Chinese army.

Lenin and the other Soviet officials sat gloomily in the government hall, surrounded by a very oppressive atmosphere. This time, it was they who were defeated, and they were completely defeated. From intelligence, to operational capabilities, to combat effectiveness, none of them can compare with Huaguo.

If it weren't for this war, I'm afraid they wouldn't have known that Hua Guo had cultivated such a terrifying air force, and at the same time, their land combat capability was much stronger than the last time.

This country, growing too fast. Two years ago, they were bullied by other countries, and a year ago, although the situation had improved somewhat, their international standing had not fundamentally improved. It was only in this year that it seemed to be reborn and appeared in front of the countries that had defeated it in a new way.

The Germans, the Provisional Government, the Japanese, and their Soviets were all defeated by the country.

In the past two days, they have learned that in the case that the Chinese navy does not have an advantage in the face of the Japanese navy, and the Chinese can use air superiority to defeat Japan, so once the Chinese sea power also grows, which country in the Far East can stop it?

This was the first time that the Soviet government really realized how threatening the Chinese army was. By this time, however, their army had been defeated. In order to take Mongolia as quickly as possible, at the beginning of the war, the Soviet government mobilized all the forces at the border gates. Now, the Russian army is trapped in Mongolia, its forces cannot be withdrawn as scheduled, the troops at the border are empty, and the Soviet government has once again come to the edge of the precipice.

Asking for peace talks with China, that is certain, so many troops, even Russia, can not afford to lose. As a defeated country, it is also obvious that it will be cut and bloody, and Japan, which has just lost to China, is a good example. Lenin did not regret taking advantage of Japan, but it can be seen from the events in Japan that it was definitely not an easy task to make China relent.

So, how to bargain with Huaguo, and what is the bottom line that they can accept, they need to think about it carefully.

After all, Russia is different from Japan, and although this group of troops is very important to them, the situation they face is not as severe as that of Japan. Japan was besieged in the capital, and there was no room for consideration at all for the demands put forward by China, and they could only accept them in their entirety, otherwise they would be in danger of losing the country. Although Russia will inevitably be broken by this defeat, it has not yet reached the point of destroying the country.

Soon after, the Russian envoy came to Mongolia with instructions from Moscow to hold talks with the Chinese envoy. During this period, Hua put forward the conditions of a truce, and if nothing else, it was only a huge indemnity, which made it difficult for the Russian envoys to accept. However, the envoys of China resolutely refused to give in, they had already been explained before they came, and this time they must let Russia really taste the pain of flesh while protecting the rights and interests of China, and they would not dare to attack China lightly in the future.

The negotiations between the two sides reached a stalemate, and the Russian prisoners were naturally not easy to deal with for a while, so they were treated the same as the Japanese prisoners, and were dismantled and sent to work as coolies in various places where infrastructure was needed.

The Chinese felt that they could not do nothing every day and waste all their time on a group of prisoners, and since it was difficult for the Russians to make up their minds, let them help these people.

Sure enough, after learning of the actions of the Chinese side, Moscow immediately relented and promised to abolish all the treaties signed between the Qing court and Tsarist Russia in the former Qing Dynasty and recognize the ownership of those lands by the Chinese state. Russia and China will later form a friendly alliance, and Russia will support China's ownership of Mongolia and will not get involved in Mongolia again in the future.

They will make such a promise, and naturally they will have their own considerations.

Hua had already regained those lands and gained control of them, and even if the Russians did not recognize them, it would be of no avail; On the Mongolian side, this defeat, the Russian side and the Mongols have formed a blood feud, at least in a short period of time, it is absolutely impossible for Russia to obtain the control of Mongolia, so in the eyes of the Russians, agreeing to these two articles has no real loss for them. Although in this way, they will be very unsightly, but who makes them a defeated country? If there had to be a price to pay for the redemption of the Russian prisoners, Lenin's government would rather pay for the face than the guilt.

In contrast, China's demands for the cession of Siberia and the demand for huge reparations were not very acceptable to Lenin's government.

If they lose their own territory, how will the Chinese people think of them? Moreover, those mineral resources in Siberia are also absolutely unwilling to give up. Speaking of the issue of huge reparations, Lenin's government has only just taken over Moscow, and it is so poor that it is very poor, and China is still talking to them, where can they get so much money?

Of course, if they want to raise money, it is not that they can't raise it, if it is to improve their armaments or develop national strength, they are willing to live with their belts on their belts, but the problem is that the money that should be used to develop national strength is to be taken out to China, how can they be willing? gave it to Huaguo, didn't they just have an empty shelf left by themselves?

As it turns out, it's really not okay not to give.

If you look at the example of Japan, you can see that it is best not to provoke the Chinese people, otherwise, there will be absolutely no good fruit to eat.

After two turboshafts made a day trip above Moscow and warned them of dropping two munitions of modest lethality, Lenin's government finally relented.

China and Russia signed a treaty of peace and friendship, and in addition to justifiably assigning all the disputed places to their own names, China also received a large amount of reparations, and in addition, it also knocked Russia a small sum at the junction of the territorial waters of China and Russia.

For Russia, the consequence of not signing is that the later it signs, the more it will pay. If Russia had known that the Chinese were in this style, they might have signed it early in the morning, but unfortunately, it was difficult to buy a thousand dollars.

Japan wilted, Russia instigated, and through these two wars, China made a good name again. Although the Western countries are busy with the European war, they are not indifferent to the affairs of the Far East.

Although I was shocked when I heard the news that Hua Guo had defeated Russia and Japan one after another, it was not surprising to think that Hua Guo had been able to manufacture so many high-end weapons in recent years.

If it weren't for the fact that they were stuck in the mud of war and it was difficult to get out, I am afraid that they would choose to control Huaguo and let it serve them before it rose to power with science and technology. Now, without their containment, no country in the Far East can suppress China, which shows that the rise of China has become an inevitable trend.

In this regard, the emotions of Western countries are naturally very complicated, and one more powerful country means that there is one more object to participate in the division of the spoils of war, and at the same time, it also means that they may no longer be able to wantonly plunder in China as before. For the Entente, this emotional complexity was even more acute, and although Hua was their ally, it was difficult for them to consider Hua as their own compared to other allies in the group.

However, there was a point on which these countries reached a consensus. Since there is no way to stop the rise of Huaguo, it is necessary to befriend it. It's better to have one more powerful friend than one more powerful enemy, isn't it?

Moreover, they were very concerned about the aircraft groups that appeared in the two battles between China and Japan and Russia and China.

Japan and Russia do not know about Chinese-made aircraft, but they are clear about the fact that they often buy planes, tanks, and various weapons from China. The two planes that bombed over the Japanese Imperial Palace and Moscow far surpassed those planes sold to them by Hua. What does this mean? It means that Huaguo has made a new breakthrough in aviation technology!

At a time when most of their national technology is still at the airship level, Huaguo has already taken such a big step, and it is impossible to say that there is no idea in his heart. However, with the outbreak of the two wars between China and Russia and China and Japan, Western countries have realized that China is no longer the country that they used to be at their mercy. If before this, their positioning of Huaguo was still "a follower with development potential", then now, for the first time, they really put Huaguo in the same position as them, and they also have new thinking about the mode of getting along with Huaguo in the future.
