Vasily finally cut to the point of this meeting, the Russians do not like to go around the bend like the Chinese, they prefer to go straight to the point and do not like foreshadowing.

Wu didn't expect Vasily to be so direct, he looked at the moon in the sky, and thought about his strategy for responding.

Vasily saw that Wu was a little silent, and continued to ask, "The solution of the Mongolian issue is the core issue of our talks, and your attitude towards Mongolia in Beiyang will directly affect the cooperation between our two sides, this issue is not complicated, as early as 1911, that is, the year of the Xinhai Revolution in your country, Outer Mongolia has declared independence. ”

Wu's face was a little displeased, and he shouted at Lu Yinshan, "Bring your military hat." ”

Lu Yinshan took off his military cap, and the five-color badge of the military hat was directly facing Wu Peifu. Wu wiped the badge on the hat with his hand, "Mr. Vasily, the badge on this hat is composed of five colors, red, yellow, blue, white and black, they represent the five ethnic groups of Han, Manchu, Mongolia, Hui and Tibet, and have the meaning of the republic of the five ethnic groups. ”

Vasily shook his head, "Historically speaking, when the Qing Empire was still there, Mongolia belonged to them, and you overthrew the rule of the Qing Dynasty, logically speaking, Mongolia and you are no longer dependent, they are the descendants of Genghis Khan, and they have nothing to do with your Chinese civilization." And as far as I know, Mongolia has never been included in your territory during the reign of the Han people, I have seen the ancient map of China before I came, the Southern Song Dynasty is that little place on the southeast coast, you were wiped out during the Yuan Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty barely restored part of the territory, most of which are also the Yellow River Basin and the Yangtze River Basin, Southwest, Northwest, Northeast which one belongs to you stably? Pointing to the five-colored cockade, Vasily asked, "Do you think the Mongols agree with your five-nation republic?" ”

Wu Gang was still holding back, and the last sentence made him angry. "According to Mr. Vasily, you Soviet Union should not occupy Siberia now, because these places are also being expanded by you little by little. According to your logic, shouldn't the United States on the other side of the ocean also spit out Alaska and return it to you? Because historically, the United States has no history! ”

Vasily angrily slapped the table. "You are sophistry, we are talking about China now."

"Humph!" , Wu smiled disdainfully, "Then we will talk about China." In 1915, the Sino-Russian-Mongolian Treaty was signed, and in a legal sense, we retained sovereignty over Outer Mongolia. Later, our Anhui general "Xiao Xu" sent troops to Mongolia, and Mongolia canceled the requirement for autonomy and restored the old system. Where did the independence of Mongolia come from? ”

Vasily was a little speechless, he swallowed, "These are all signed with you under the rule of the old Tsarist Russia, and we do not recognize it." ”

Wu looked at Vasily with wide eyes, "That's what you said!" In 1689 Tsarist Russia invaded and occupied the Khingan Mountains and west of the Erguna River, in 1727 Tsarist Russia invaded and occupied the south and southwest of Lake Baikal in our country, in 1790 Tsarist Russia invaded and occupied our Sakhalin Island, and Vladivostok, one of the largest ports in the Far East. More than 3 million square kilometers of our land have been occupied by Tsarist Russia, and since you do not recognize the contract signed by Tsarist Russia with us, then return these places to us! ”

Vasily knew that there was something wrong with what he said, and quickly changed his words, "No, no, no, this is just my personal opinion, and it does not represent the decision of our superiors." ”

Wu was completely angry, and he kicked the table hard, "Then what are you farting with Lao Tzu here, send someone who has the final say." With that, Wu walked to the edge of the cliff angrily.

Li Da looked at Wu's departure movingly, everyone is Chinese, and Wu's words just now spoke to his heart. The premise and foundation of these issues is the most fundamental integrity of a country and a nation.

Chen's state of mind was also roughly the same, and he himself was very dissatisfied with the arrogance of Vasily's words just now. But after all, Vasily is his superior, and he can't express his true thoughts too much at this time. He advised Vasily, "Well, the way the Chinese think about problems is different from yours, and many problems we need to go through step by step." ”

Vasily was on fire, and Chen's speech at this time just triggered his point, "What did you mean by your silence just now?" Cowardly, cowardly. What are we doing today? Why didn't you give your opinion when I was talking to him about these issues, and now that I'm done, you're starting to express your opinions. The battle is over, and you, the staff officer, took out the map for me, is it useful? ”

Vasily kicked the table hard and walked to another cliff.

Chen was scolded with a disgraced face, "Why did you come to me, he was responsible for negotiating, and we didn't get angry about the negotiation in advance, he didn't speak carefully, and he was caught by others, and now he is complaining about us, inexplicable!" ”

Li Da patted Chen Qingtong on the shoulder, "He's losing his temper and regaining the face he lost just now." Now it seems that the Mongolian issue is Wu's bottom line, and I personally feel that this issue is very sensitive, if both sides agree on this condition as the basis for cooperation between the two sides. Then this meeting will definitely be aborted. Well, I think negotiation should be a process of mutual concessions. For Wu, he needed help financially and militarily. For Vasily, the issue of the northeastern side is a matter of urgency at the moment. Can we bypass the issue of Mongolia for the time being and focus on a higher level? ”

Chen rubbed his chest and laughed, "I think you were moved by Wu Shuo!" ”

Li Da laughed when he heard this, "Aren't you also moved?" In normal times, you would strongly support the opinions of the top management. ”

Chen nodded, "No matter what, we are all Chinese first and foremost. In this way, I will persuade Wu, and you will persuade Vasily. He had just been angry with me, and I tried to persuade him to add fuel to the fire. Hey, it's really the old saying, I just hit the muzzle of the gun. ”

The two went their separate ways, and Li Da walked up to Vasily's side, and he handed Vasily a cigarette with a smile on his face. Vasily shook his head, held up his pipe and said to Lee, "I like to smoke this, it's hard!" ”

Li patted Vasily on the shoulder, "Comrade Vasily, the contradictions between our two countries have been standing up for a long time, and Wu, as a soldier, what you just said really angered his self-esteem. ”
