Chapter 217: The Transformation of Outer Montuwa

In response to the Soviet Union's view that a series of unequal treaties signed by Tsarist Russia under the pressure of the Qing Dynasty in China were valid treaties, Li Dawei resolutely refuted the legal document by starting with the conditions for establishing a valid surname: "The premise of being a valid surname as a legal document is, first of all, to see whether its rights and obligations are equal and whether it is fair. These treaties are, first and foremost, manifestly unfair. Then he changed his tone and said, "How are these documents signed?" Under what circumstances was it signed? I think you know better than we do. Take the "Aihui Treaty" as an example, Mulavyov, one of the great heroes of Tsarist Russia's invasion of China, the Tsarist Governor of the Far East, pressed his saber on the neck of the Qing Dynasty's Heilongjiang general Yishan, and forced him to draw a thick line along the Chinese river bank on the border map with a pencil. Can such a treaty signed with a knife on the neck be fair? Can it work? Comrade Lenin knows this better than you, so why don't you do what our common proletarian revolutionary teacher, Comrade Lenin, has taught us? Instead, sit on the side of our common enemy, Tsarist Russia, and justify their aggression in every possible way? May I ask you which side of the class position of these [***] high-ranking cadres of the world's first socialist country are on? ”

Mao Anying took it and said: "As the big brother of socialism, you should really think carefully about your own class position. ”

"The question of the class position is an issue that our two parties discuss within the party, and we are now talking about the territorial issue of the two countries, which has nothing to do with the class position." Molotov was a genius diplomat, and he quickly dismantled the trick designed by Li Dawei.

"Of course it matters," Mao Anying immediately said in fluent Russian, "both of us are socialist countries led by [***] with Marxism-Leninism as the guiding ideology, and the party's surname determines the country's surname." If we don't even know the class position of the opposing party, then what kind of allies are we? What kind of friendly neighbor is socialism? Without this premise, we would have taken a different approach to this kind of problem. ”

Molotov felt the unkindness in Mao Anying's words, but he was still unmoved and said: "As for the question of the same surname in the ideological field between us, this issue is still left to the secretariats of our two parties to discuss, and we will only talk about the territorial issue." ”

"Good!" Li Dawei took over Molotov's topic: "Indeed, it is useless to argue about these issues that have no practical significance. As you said, we are only talking about the territorial issue, and I hope that you will face up to such an issue, and if you only want to inherit the results of the aggressive expansion of the Tsarist political axe, but do not want to bear the responsibility for the consequences of the policy of the aggressive expansion of the Russian political axe, it will be unjustifiable. ”

Molotov knowingly asked, "What responsibility?" ”

"It is the responsibility of forcibly occupying 444, 380,000 square kilometers of our country's territory by Tsarist Russia and your Soviet Union in just 268 years." Mao Anying reacted directly and replied. The reason why Mao Anying proposed 444, 380,000 square kilometers of territory was not really to ask the Soviet Union for so much, of these 444, 380,000 square kilometers of territory, including the territory lost by the "Nebuchu Treaty" and the "Brenski" Treaty. Although both treaties also lost some territory, they were fundamentally different from the unequal treaties that followed.

Both the Treaty of Nebuchu and the Treaty of Brensichi were signed during the heyday of the Qing Dynasty, and the status of both sides was equal. As for the Qing Dynasty's political axe, those two poles called Lao Maozi are deceiving, which is another problem. It's like buying groceries at the market, and people charge you more and give you less to say that you didn't find out, or that you want to, then you can't blame others. It's not easy to overturn all of them, but it's different from those unequal treaties later, and when you face those unequal treaties later, it's a knife on your neck, forcing you, not giving you food, just asking for money. This is absolutely not possible, it must be returned. However, during negotiations, both sides naturally have to shout a false price first, and then bargain with each other, which is nothing more than a diplomatic means of bargaining

In this way, the two sides took turns to carry out "long bargaining" between Moscow and Yanjing.

While the diplomats on both sides are engaged in a war of words, both sides are actively increasing their bargaining chips on the negotiating table for their own countries.

China's "digestion" of the Far Eastern Province's Outer Mongolia Prefecture and Tangnu Province is also actively underway. The Production and Construction Corps of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, a particularly large unit composed of retired soldiers of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, is an important component of China's armed forces, and it has always maintained a complete set of political institutions and systems that are completely consistent with the Chinese People's Liberation Army, and at the same time has given new content to production and the building of local political power. We have always adhered to the principle of combining peacetime with wartime, integrating the military with the people, and integrating the army with the people, thus embodying the unity of economic construction and national defense construction, so that the role of the Chinese People's Liberation Army as a combat team, a production team, and a task force can be brought into fuller play and developed. They were the first to take over all the "new areas" in China, and this time was no exception. In addition to the Xinjiang Provincial Production and Construction Corps, the Inner Mongolia Production and Construction Corps, and the Heilongjiang Production and Construction Corps, the Ryukyu Production and Construction Corps, and the Tibet Provincial Production and Construction Corps, which went to take over the Outer Mongolia Prefecture of Far Eastern Province and Tangnu Province this time, also sent their own teams one after another. After they entered the Outer Mongolia Prefecture of the Far Eastern Province and the Tangnu Province, they took over all the administrative organs, the Public Procuratorate and the Department of Justice, and sent those pro-Soviet factions to labor camps for those who should be arrested, those who should be sentenced, and those who were not enough to be sentenced. According to the method of reorganizing the Kuomintang army, the former Outer Mongolian army was assigned to the various combat units of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) in accordance with the method of reorganizing the Kuomintang army, and the rest into the production and construction corps. At the same time, the Production and Construction Corps has implemented the production and construction policy of taking into account the overall planning of industry, agriculture, commerce, and military and the all-round development of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, and sideline fisheries, and they have vigorously developed agriculture, and the Production and Construction Corps has established farms, forest farms, and pastures in the Outer Mongolia Prefecture of Far Eastern Province and Tangnu Province, vigorously developed the industries of the two places, and established meat processing plants, woolen mills, wood processing plants, cement factories, paper mills, mechanical processing plants, smelters, and hydroelectric power plants, which have promoted the traditional production methods and industrial and agricultural structures of the Outer Mongolia Prefecture of Far Eastern Province and Tangnu Province. At the same time, it has also changed the way of life of the original people in these two regions, so that they can see a bright future.

Based on the experience gained in the development and construction of the Ryukyu region and the Shannan Special Economic Zone, the central authorities have given sufficient policy support for the development of the Outer Mongolia Special Zone in Far Eastern Province and Tangnu Province with reference to the Shannan Special Economic Zone. For unplanned projects, whether state-owned or collective, individuals are carried out in accordance with the principle of who develops and who benefits, and a certain percentage of income tax is reduced or exempted according to the different projects developed. The service industry is exempt from income tax for 3 years, the manufacturing industry is exempted from income tax for 5 years, metallurgy, mining development is exempted from increasing for 8 years, the production and construction corps, all provinces and cities and major enterprises directly under the central government, have also sent their own teams to the Far East Province Waimeng Prefecture and Tangnu Province, there is a great trend of "horse race", of course, all this is carried out under the plan of the Far East Special Forces, collective, individual of course is not lagging behind, they along with the construction army, the shops, restaurants, grain stations, passenger transport, hotels, vegetable greenhouses opened around all the construction sites, anyway, the investment is not much, a few yurts are all over the place. The reduction of income tax for 3 years is not a small number, but it is a net profit in the mainland for 5 or 6 years. One of the biggest advantages in Outer Mongolia is that all land is owned by the state and does not involve the issue of land reform, which is also the benefit left by the original "superior surname of socialism" in Outer Mongolia. The remaining problem is the problem of the herdsmen who occupy the land occupied by the resettlement area, but fortunately, the original Outer Mongolia is vast and sparsely populated, and the problem of resettlement is not large.

The central authorities are intensifying the development of Far Eastern Province, and the construction of the Kizil railway between Manchuria and Choibalsan and Ulaanbaatar and Mulun and Tangnu-Ulianghai across Far Eastern Province and Tangnu-Ulianghai has begun. Combat-ready roads leading to the Soviet Union and the Far Eastern Province to the Outer Mongolian Prefecture and the Tangnu-Ulianghai region are also under construction. Military and local mechanized construction teams were active in the Outer Mongolia Prefecture of the Far Eastern Province and the Tangnu Province, and this was the economic pull of the war.

At the same time as the large-scale economic construction of the Outer Mongolia Prefecture and the Tangnu Province in the Far Eastern Province, the cultural and educational reform of these two regions was also in full swing, and the Soviet Union ruled and influenced these two regions for 3 to 40 years, and successfully implemented assimilation education in the original Outer Mongolia and Tuva. In 1944, the Mongolian authorities abandoned the Mongolian script created during the Genghis Khan era and replaced it with the Russian alphabet of the Slavic language family, which was only a new Mongolian script based on individual alphabets created by the Mongolian side itself, and was officially used in January 1946. And this assimilation of Tuva was carried out 10 years earlier than Outer Mongolia, and it was more thorough and simply Russian, Russian. In this way, the cultural connection between Inner and Inner Mongolia was severed to a large extent, and thus the connection with Chinese culture was severed, opening the door to the invasion of Soviet culture. Children must learn Russian from the fourth grade of primary school. The syllabus of education in Outer Mongolia stipulates that some courses of the National University of Mongolia and all the courses of the Polytechnic Institute to which it belongs are taught in Russian; The textbooks and reference books for the various courses were also Russian-language books published in the Soviet Union. In response to this situation, the Far Eastern Working Committee, on the basis of the experience of the Ryukyu Special Economic Zone, made every effort to eliminate the influence of the Soviet Union's use of forceful means to assimilate the culture of the Outer Mongolian and Tuvan peoples. The most effective way to do this is to use tougher means than the Soviets in order to more effectively eliminate the influence of the Slavic language family of the Soviet Union on the and Tuvans. The Outer Mongolian Prefecture of the Far Eastern Province declared the new Mongolian script invalid in the form of a law, with Chinese characters and Mongolian as the official script, and Chinese as the only official language. Those who do not know Chinese and Mongolian are not allowed to work in public affairs. The transition period for cadres below the county and regiment level (including the county regiment level) is three years. After three years, former Outer Mongolians and Tuvans who are engaged in public service are dismissed if they are unable to master the Chinese language and Mongolian language. The transition period for cadres at and above the county and regimental level is five years, and these former "high-ranking cadres" who love China in Outer Mongolia and Tuva will be sent to the party schools in Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia for political and language training ranging from two to three years.

In order to cultivate Outer Mongolian talents loyal to the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union used another important means to absorb a large number of Outer Mongolian students. Every year, the Mongolian government sent a large number of students to study in the Soviet Union, and after returning to China, most of these students were able to enter important positions, and many of them became high-ranking officials. As a result, more than 40 percent of the provincial and municipal cadres graduated from the Central Higher Party School of the Soviet Far East. For these people, the Far Eastern Special Service sent those who studied natural sciences to the factories and grass-roots scientific research units related to them in the interior. For the pro-Soviet elements who study social sciences, they should first reform their thinking when they are sent to the labor camp, and for those who love China, they should be sent to the Inner Mongolia Party School to study Chinese and re-study China's principles and policies. Reassignment of work after graduation.

In the face of these different opinions, Deng Feng, director of the Far East Special Committee, replied: The overkill must be excessive, otherwise it will not be enough to eliminate the cultural influence of the Soviet Union in these two regions for 3 to 40 years. The occupation of culture is the occupation in the true sense of the word. China's thousands of years of territorial expansion have been achieved through cultural assimilation. Chinese culture is a very peculiar culture, under the influence of this culture, the Chinese nation has become a rare cowardly nation in the world, they have lost their strong surname, lack the courage not to be afraid of violence, due to thousands of years of open and secret struggle within the ruling class, formed a unique phenomenon, that is, the ability to fight in the nest is very large, lack of overall national consciousness, to the outside that is to be more finished. Otherwise, so much territory would not have been lost. A person like the supreme chief, who despises an enemy and will never be subjugated by a strong enemy, is definitely an exception in the Chinese nation. The Han people, the main body of the Chinese nation, have not laid down any major pieces of the country in history, but they have a tenacious surname and will not give up their cultural traditions even if they die. Even if you are a slave of a foreign nation, after hundreds of years of evolution, you will assimilate it to your master and make it a part of yourself. This is the charm of China's unique culture, and no culture can compete with China's peculiar culture, which is the most fundamental reason why only China has survived the four ancient civilizations.
