It was when British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain declared: "No British government would and would never sacrifice the life of a British grenadier in the defense of the Polish corridor." "Later.

In France, the commander-in-chief of the French army, Gammelin, threatened: "If the German army can destroy Poland in half a month, France will be relieved of moral uneasiness." "Later.

A spokesman for the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs said inexplicably: "Although Japan has withdrawn from the League of Nations, it has been committed to maintaining the internal stability of the League of Nations." With regard to the internal struggle between the Soviet Union and Poland within the League of Nations, the Japanese side strongly condemned the Soviet side that provoked the war, and was always ready to take action to maintain the internal stability of the League of Nations. ”

As long as a Japanese spokesman is a politician with no bad brains, he will not take it seriously. In this troubled era, which country does not believe in self-interest, and if it wants to maintain the internal stability of the League of Nations, it will never be the turn of Japan, which has taken the initiative to withdraw from the League of Nations, to stand up!

The treacherous and cunning foreign affairs departments of various countries easily analyzed from the statement of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs -- Japan was looking for an excuse to fall out with the Soviet Union.

Sure enough, on October 10, 1939, exactly one month after the Soviet Union invaded Poland, the Japanese Kwantung Army made a big move in the Nomenkan region of eastern Mongolia, which was under the Soviet sphere of influence.

First, the Japanese Kwantung Army claimed that one of their search teams had "disappeared" during a maneuver near the eastern area of Nomenkan, so the Kwantung Army requested a large army to enter the area to search.

The unreasonable demands of the Japanese Kwantung Army were immediately rejected by the Mongol border defenders. Then, without any communication, the Japanese army launched an attack on the Xilin Taulagai outpost, which was garrisoned by more than 50 cavalry from the 7th border post of the Mongolian army, and then occupied the outpost.

Further on, Lieutenant General Ogisu Ratebu of the Japanese Army ordered the 23rd Division of the Kwantung Army to advance on a large scale to the area around Nomenkan.

The Mongolian border army, which was outnumbered, was the opponent of the Japanese army, and was defeated by the Japanese Kwantung Army at the beginning of the war, and fled all the way from the border line to the Halaha River.

Immediately afterwards, with the cooperation of five Japanese planes, a small cavalry of the Kwantung Army led a small cavalry of more than 100 people to launch a fierce attack on the 742 heights of the Mongolian Army east of the Haraha River, and occupied it on the same day.

Having lost the 742 Heights, the most critical area east of the Haraha River, the Mongol army had no choice but to retreat again to the west bank of the Haraha River.

The Mongol government, having lost its city and territory, soon realized that it would never be able to defeat the invading Japanese army on their own. As a result, the anxious Mongolian plenipotentiary envoy rushed north to seek support from the Soviet Union, an ally with whom Mongolia had signed the "Soviet-Mongolian Mutual Assistance Agreement".

"They're doing it again!" As soon as he entered the conference room prepared by Stalin in the Klim Palace, the Mongolian delegate said emotionally in fluent Russian: "These hateful Japanese have been looking for all kinds of stubborn excuses to justify their aggression against neighboring countries since eight years ago. Now that they have hit a wall everywhere in the East Asian theater, they have begun to look northward with their aggressive eyes. ”

"This group of Japanese has always been annoying, and the Soviet government has actually been on guard against their Kwantung Army going north." Behind Stalin, a chubby general in his forties, who was standing, spoke to comfort the Mongolian delegates.

After listening to the general's words, the Mongolian representative also sensed the attitude of the Soviet government towards Japan from inside and outside his words, and said with some excitement: "Since the Soviet army has also been guarding against the Japanese Kwantung Army, and since the "Soviet-Mongolian Mutual Assistance Agreement" has been signed between our two countries, why don't we join hands to eliminate this group of Kwantung Army?" ”

At the end of the oval-shaped meeting, Stalin listened to the speeches of the Mongolian delegates with a blank face, and from time to time took a sip of his water glass, but never made any statement on the Mongolian delegates' proposals.

Seeing that Stalin was silent, the Mongolian representative became anxious on the spot, clenched his fists and said anxiously: "Mongolia has always been the only one to look forward to the Soviet Union, and now the Mongolian army is willing to fight against Japan as the vanguard of the Soviet army, and only asks the Soviet army to send troops as soon as possible!" ”

Seeing that the Mongolian representative was anxious, Stalin said with a smile: "Mr. Deputy, it's not that I don't want to help you, but the Soviet Union is now at war with Poland, which is known as the fifth military power in Europe, and it is really incompetent. If we don't have enough in return, it's hard for us to gather our strength to help you in a short period of time......."

The first half of Stalin's remarks were directly filtered by the Mongolian delegates as clichés. The Mongols, who knew a little more about the strength of the Soviet army, never doubted it, and he was fully convinced that it would not be difficult to decide to defeat Poland with Soviet military power. What's more, this time there is also a rising Germany cooperating with the Soviet army to attack on both sides.

He knew very well that the meaning that the other party really wanted to express was all in the second half of the sentence - the Soviet Union did not not help, but just wanted to ask for a "little" satisfactory return after helping.

"Naturally, we will not treat the Soviet allies badly, and the Mongolian side will accept any demands from the Soviet side." The representative of Mongolia tried his best to squeeze out these words, which were contrary to national dignity.

In fact, the Soviet Union had long since sent a large number of political commissars and advisers to the Mongolian army and government, established a financial and monetary system controlled by the Soviet Union, expelled all third-country businesses, and even strictly prohibited third-country personnel from entering the country. That is, Mongolia had long been fully Sovietized and became a vassal and satellite state of the USSR.

But even so, Stalin would not be satisfied!

In the face of the respectful Mongolian delegates, Stalin handed him a resolution that had been drawn up only this morning - Mongolia must henceforth abolish the Mongolian language and replace it with the Russian language!

At the same time, the resolution stipulates that children must learn Russian from primary school onwards. School textbooks and reference books must be in Russian books published in the USSR, and courses must be taught in Russian.

At the end of the resolution, Stalin also threw out a sweet offer, that is, to allow Mongolian people who were not members of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics to join the Soviet army and receive the same treatment as Soviet soldiers.

This so-called sweetness seems to be a special case of preferential care for the Mongolian people, but in fact it is to expand the resources of the Soviet army to meet Stalin's "big thunderstorm plan" for the next invasion of all Europe.

Although it is not clear about the "thunderstorm" of the Soviet military department, the Mongolian representatives are not fools, and naturally know what intentions Stalin has in coming up with this resolution. However, in this situation, he can only bow his head and accept it on behalf of the country. However, the Mongolian government has long been accustomed to this kind of thing.

In contrast, although the Soviet Union has been trying to control Mongolia, after all, it has also sent a lot of technicians to help build a large number of national industries in Mongolia with spare parts and processing properties. Even Mongolia's largest central power plant was built by Soviet aiders.

On the other hand, Japan, which is attacking Mongolia, will end up in a really miserable situation if Mongolia falls into their hands. Not to mention, the three northeastern provinces of China are a lesson from the past!

Compared with the Soviet Union, which was only a little more exploitative, those Japanese really did not treat the people of the occupied areas as human beings at all!

"No problem, I think the country will definitely accept this resolution proposed by the Soviet side." The representative of Mongolia answered Stalin, as his former predecessor did.

"I think so." As if waiting for such a statement, Stalin, who had just been quiet, immediately showed a harmonious smile: "There has always been a long-standing friendship between the Soviet Union and Mongolia. When it comes to meeting Mongolian friends, the selfless Soviet government will never sit idly by! ”
