He tried it, and when he saw that Zhang Hanqing's attitude was very resolute, he took a step forward and said: "The dispute over this territory has been going on for a long time, and it is difficult to reach a conclusion for a while. I mean, we might as well form a negotiating group and talk slowly. What is more important at the present time is that the two sides agree on the concept of maintaining peace in the Far East and the Northeast, and I think this is the most fundamental issue. ”

Do you want to do tai chi? and used delaying tactics. When the situation returns to calm, this negotiation will naturally end without a problem, and will China suffer less in the future? If you want China to take risks without giving some blood, how can there be such a good thing in the world? He met Zhang Hanqing!

"Talk slowly? OK! But as soon as the Japanese cross the Tumen River, we will stop negotiating with you and move to negotiations with the Japanese side. What needs to be known to your envoy is that US Secretary Stephen has also put pressure on our government to use the China Eastern Railway to transport military supplies. As you know, we can now dismiss the central government, and even the United States and Japan, in the name of autonomy, but once the Far East falls and we suffer from the enemy, it will be the time when we will give up our autonomy. ”

If you give up your autonomy, that is, obey the orders of the Central Committee, you will be able to take the Middle Road and even act as an accomplice of the intervening army. I believe Youlin can hear the weight of this.

Yulin was a little annoyed, although he didn't seem to know whether it was true or not: "Mr. Young Marshal, you have repeatedly mentioned 'cold lips and teeth', so you should think that if the Far East falls and Japan frees its hands, it will be far from the Russian people who will suffer. Therefore, it does not seem wise to use the Middle East Road as a bargaining chip! ”

Zhang Hanqing had already thought of it, but if Japan had not been trapped in Siberia for four years in history, the situation in Northeast China and even North China would have been even worse---- and the Kwantung Army, with less than one division and an army of more than 10,000 people, made China choke in the throat for more than ten years, and finally they succeeded. What a painful thing it would have been if the tens of thousands of people who later entered Russia were all placed in the Northeast!

It seems that now both sides understand this truth, and they both bargain with "care" about each other's safety. The difference is that Zhang Hanqing is determined to win both the Middle East Road and Mokowei, and Youlin is the Middle East Road to retain the right to speak and delay the negotiation process on the Rare Coast.

But this outlet to the sea is bound to win, and if Soviet Russia does not agree, Zhang Hanqing is even ready to take it hard. In the entire Far East, Soviet Russia only formed an army of about 10,000 people and more than a dozen artillery pieces. If you don't take it, you think it's a disaster. The Feng army had already placed a brigade in Huichun and a reorganized regiment in Suifenhe. Isn't it because of the long-term and the possibility that Soviet Russia may have trouble with China after freeing up its hands, so he is not afraid of fighting each other.

"Mr. Yulin, if it were not for the hope of forming a good friendship with you, I would definitely pretend to obey the orders of the Central Committee and give full support to the intervention forces to enter the Russian territory along the Middle East Road! Frankly speaking, the entry of Japanese soldiers into the Far East and Siberia has invisibly relieved our pressure, which is a good thing for us, and you don't have to deny this, right?

With your military strength in the Far East, I believe that you have already expected the outcome, otherwise you would have competed with the United States, Japan, and other countries on the issue of the Middle East Road, and you would not have tacitly controlled by us. Anyway, in a few years, your military presence in the Far East will be almost non-existent, and it is better to cede to us than to cheapen Japan and the United States. Anyway, we are weak, and you still have room for discussion in the future, don't you?

Moreover, it is reasonable for us to obtain a sovereign status, this place is originally called Hanqi, it is the inherent territory of China, and there is not a treaty that says that it was ceded! If the United States, Japan, and other countries insist on it, it will certainly arouse great opposition from the Chinese people. If things get big and cause strife, it can reduce your stress. Otherwise, there is no reason for us to stand up to the pressure on your country.

I accept your wishful thinking. In other words, I am very likely to do the same under this kind of internal and external pressure. We resolutely took over the hot mountain of the Middle East Road, and we were also prepared to resist the military use of the intervening army, or at least make them pay a certain price, so that they felt that it was not worth it. We take such a risk just to be in the same boat.

And you, knowing that you will not be able to hold the Hanqi region, which is of great use in stabilizing our borders, still clinging to it. You must know that we have a treaty basis for the possession of the Hanqi region to the sea, and if you formally renounce your possession of this land, we will be able to justifiably stop the Japanese army from the northeastern part of Korea to the Far East, and force them to pass through the Sea of Japan. In this way, the pressure of logistics alone is able to crush them. Don't look at a small outlet to the sea and the Tumen River, which is not wide, it is an insurmountable natural danger for the Japanese! ”

From Huichun to Vladivostok, the water and sea routes are about 160 kilometers, and the nearest distance to mainland Japan is 800 kilometers. If Japan had traveled from Japan-occupied Korea to Russia via the Tumen River, it would not only be much closer, but would also be able to obtain good supplies, which would have been beneficial but not costly. If it can really stop the Japanese army from moving north, it will really be a clever move to consume the national strength of the Japanese army. Otherwise, under the protracted war, a corrupt Far East will not be a blessing for Soviet Russia.

Yulin applauded and smiled and said: "The young marshal's speech is very beautiful, if it were not for the precedent that Russia has never ceded territory, I would really be persuaded by you." ”

Zhang Hanqing smiled, and suddenly said, "Really? The region is only 10 square kilometers, only one hundred-thousandth of the size of the Brest Treaty! And from the past to the present, there is not a single treaty that recognizes it as Russian, Mr. Yulin said this, is it a little too deceitful! ”

This peace treaty was signed just in March this year. This harsh peace not only cost Russia nearly a million square kilometers of land and nearly 50 million inhabitants, but also accounted for 90 percent of the country's coal mining, 73 percent of iron ore, 54 percent of industry, and 33 percent of the railways in the occupied areas. In addition, the treaty stipulated that the Soviet government must demobilize the army, including the newly formed units of the Red Army; The navy was supposed to sail into Russian ports and anchor there until a general peace treaty was concluded or immediately disarmed.

This was not the end of the story, and on March 27, three additional treaties between the Soviet Union and Germany were signed in Berlin, stipulating that Soviet Russia would pay reparations of 6 billion marks in various forms.

has such a generous deal with the strong, but does not give up an inch of land to the weak, although this kind of world-wide treatment is also a true reflection of the country's status, but it deeply pierced Zhang Hanqing's heart. Is it tolerable or unbearable!

You Lin didn't expect Zhang Hanqing, who was in a corner, to know so much about European affairs, and he could also see through his country's strategy at a glance in the complicated European situation. He was stunned for a moment, then said self-deprecatingly, "It's just expediency, because you know..."

Zhang Hanqing hurriedly said: "I know that Germany is about to be defeated, so this peace treaty will become worthless after its defeat, but your country has bought time." If this theory is true, then today I will not only claim the Rare Territory, but also restore the Chinese territories occupied by Russia since the Second Opium War! Not only that, but I will also cooperate with Japan to seize the Far East and Siberia, unless your country defeats me again and signs a peace treaty again, do you think this logic is valid?! ”

Yulin was angry: "This is bandit logic!" We will not accept this naked threat..."He quickly lost his words, because Zhang Hanqing looked at him with a smirk, making him embarrassed to perform again.

Zhang Hanqing said lightly and with unquestionable toughness: "The relationship between countries is mutual, you make me embarrassed, I will definitely make you sad." The strange problem has been between us and China for many years, and it is time to resolve it. Whether we will push us over the side of the intervening forces, or whether we will maintain and consolidate friendly relations between us, is up to Mr. Special Envoy. Of course, I don't mean to give you an answer right away, but after the Japanese troops cross the Tumen River, everything we talked about before will be nullified! What it will evolve into when the time comes, it is beyond my control as a small person! ”

Youlin felt a lot of pressure, and after weighing the pros and cons, he felt the need to stabilize the mood of the Chinese young marshal. Originally, the main task of his trip was to try to restore Sino-Russian relations to at least the state they had in Tsarist Russia, and the relations between the two countries, which had been uneventful, had reached a low point after the February Revolution in Soviet Russia, and China, along with many Entente countries, did not recognize the legitimacy of the Soviet Russian regime.

The breakthrough in the short term is still in China, because the Russians have judged that China is just a follower. Surrounded on all sides by enemy countries and enemies, the attitude of a huge China, at least not hostile, had an immeasurable impact on the Soviet Russian regime. And China's breakthrough seems to be in the northeast at present.

According to intelligence, the young young marshal of the Northeast seemed to be very optimistic about the Russian revolution, and his influence in the Northeast was also increasing day by day. Although he has taken a tough stance to take back the Middle East Road, this is only the instinct of a warlord with his own mind, and his northeast policy of "maintaining stability, promoting peace, and grasping the economy" is also urgently needed by the Soviet Russian government at present. Most importantly, he spared no effort to oppose the hostility of their central government towards Soviet Russia, and called for the establishment of friendly relations between China and Russia in a new normal.

Although the Feng system is currently not able to influence the foreign policy of the central government, it is a powerful voice after all. Among the three places bordering China and Russia, Northeast China is far more important than Xinjiang and Mongolia for its close economic ties and convenient transportation. Even the mere achievement of de facto friendly relations is what the Russian government now desires.

As for the unresolved Strange Coast, it's really not a problem. The so-called territorial "dispute", Yulin knows, is just a matter of the Russians themselves, just to get a little more stuck in the neck of the former Celestial Empire. There is no political burden at all on assigning it to China, and the reason why he said this is only for the sake of negotiations.

At that time, the Republic of China, which had the longest border with Soviet Russia and had the most vital interests, although its national strength was weak, it unconsciously had the intention of uniting together to keep warm because of the fact that it was a difficult brother. As a kind of consolation and a gesture of goodwill to China, Lenin repeatedly talked about "abolishing the unequal treaties between China and Russia," and although it was eventually proved that he was excluding the three major treaties that had invaded and occupied China's territory of more than 1.4 million square kilometers, it was still vividly recorded in the history books.

Anyway, a lot of people like to hear this story.
