Chapter 192: A bumpy road back

Danba, first secretary of the Central Committee of the Outer Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party, spoke passionately and won the long-lasting applause of the delegates, and some people got up from their seats excitedly and cheered for Danba.

After translating Danba's speech into Russian, he heard that Danba, first secretary of the Central Committee of the Outer Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party, was going to "return to China." His stiff face finally turned cloudy and turned into a storm, and he jumped like thunder, very rudely, and angrily tapped the microphone placed in front of him with his fingers, and said loudly: "Today is the propaganda work meeting of your Mongolian People's Party. As a special representative of the Soviet Union, I came to observe, and I didn't want to express any opinions, but listening to the speeches of some comrades at the meeting, I really couldn't bear it anymore. Mongolia is a friendly neighbor of our Soviet Union, and it is also a people's party and a people's political axe established under the personal guidance of Lenin, and the Soviet Union has always been the most loyal and reliable friend of the Mongolian people on this revolutionary road. I am deeply saddened by the Soviet Red Army, which shed blood and sacrificed its life to liberate the Mongolian people from the exploitation and oppression of the Chinese feudal lord class and reactionary warlords. What we can't tolerate is that now some people actually propose to return to China! Is the blood of our Soviets shed in vain? Did we, the Soviets, die in vain? You are a betrayal of the noble [***] ideals. ”

The anger of the Soviet adviser Beligarovsky shocked the audience, and the audience was silent for a moment, Danba, when he heard the accusations made by this Soviet adviser like the emperor, he had a strong sense of shame, he was the first secretary of the Central Committee of the Outer Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party, the number one leader of the party, and as a Soviet adviser, Beligarovsky was only an editor of the political section of the Soviet Pravda before he came to Mongolia. It would have been fine if it had been done in private or on a small scale, but at the National Party Propaganda Conference, it was indeed a bit too much for Belgarowsky to slap the table and shout at the rats to make accusations against himself. Not to mention that in order to maintain national dignity, it is also necessary to fight back in order to maintain one's own minimum self-esteem. So he turned his face and said to Beligarovsky: "Comrade Beligarovsky, you know very well that this is the Mongolian People's Party's national propaganda work conference, and I, as the first secretary of the party, have the right to summarize the line, principles, and policies implemented by our party at the party meeting. We will never forget the sacrifices made by the Soviet comrades for the liberation of the people of Outer Mongolia and the support they gave to the Mongolian people. However, the current international and Mongolian situation does not allow us to be overly optimistic. We can only face the specific situation of Mongolia and discuss the future of Outer Mongolia in order to find a more suitable path for the development of Outer Mongolia. Therefore, we cannot be on the same level as you, the Soviet Union, in everything, and we cannot completely accept your control. We must do our own thing according to our actual situation, which is our internal affair and should be entirely up to us. As for what you say is a betrayal of the noble [***] ideals, it is even more nonsense. Please do not forget that the People's Republic of China is also a socialist country, and it is a greater socialist country than you, the Soviet Union. ”

Danba's words made such a sense that Beligarovsky was speechless. However, Zedenbar, chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Mongolian People's Republic, who was sitting next to Soviet adviser Beligarovsky, suddenly stood up and said to Danba: "Comrade Danba, please pay attention! Our Mongolian People's Republic is a country that fully enjoys reading power and sovereignty, and this is something that the Chinese themselves have to admit, whether it is the Chinese Kuomintang political axe in the past or the current [***] political axe. No matter how poor and backward we are, we will never give up our reading power and sovereignty. Maintaining friendly relations with the great socialist Soviet Union and safeguarding the reading power of the Mongolian People's Republic are the basic state policies of our country, and these are also clearly written into the constitution of our country and the constitution of our party. As the first secretary of the Central Committee of the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party, you openly violated the Constitution of the country and the party's constitution, and wanted to betray the [***] position that was won by the blood and sacrifice of countless revolutionary martyrs, in a vain attempt to bring the Mongolian people back under Chinese rule? ”

Zedenbar jumped out at this time to defend the interests of the Soviet Union, which was expected by Danba, and he argued and said: "The constitution of our country and the constitution of our party were formulated on the premise that China was under the rule of the bureaucratic bourgeoisie and the feudal landlord class at that time. Now the situation is completely different, and China, including Inner Mongolia, has returned to the hands of the people. Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia were originally a unified nation, and as I just said, from the establishment of the Mongol Khanate by Genghis Khan in 1206 to the change of the name of the country to 'Great Yuan' by Kublai Khan in 1271, whether we want to or not, in fact we have become an inseparable part of the Chinese nation. You ask me what my intentions are. Then I am here to tell you in front of all the comrades of the Party that my intention is to make the Mongolian nation prosperous and strong again, so that every Mongolian and his family can live a comfortable life. If our reading power and sovereignty only bring us the result of being poor and backward, then what is the meaning of this reading power and sovereignty? Comrade Zedenbar, as Prime Minister of the country, have you ever considered the issue in the immediate interests of the Mongolian people? ”

"Comrade Danba, what do you mean by that?" Danba's words made Zedenbar very uncomfortable and asked rhetorically.

"What do you mean, you yourself know best, what is the purpose of our revolution and reading? Is it just for himself to be an official? Danba looked at the lackey who was following the Soviets and said: "The purpose of our revolution and reading power is to free the Mongolian people from the rule of the feudal landlord class in old China. The establishment of people's power is not for the sake of oneself as an official. As a senior cadre of the Party and the state, we must always subordinate the Party's policies to the interests of the broadest masses of the working people in Mongolia. And by no means the interests of any one country, one group. ”

The tall and sturdy Soviet adviser Beligarovsky stood up angrily, his face was already red, and he was emotional, like an enraged polar bear, grabbed the microphone and shouted, "Danba, I warn you." There is a very serious problem with your position, and it is very dangerous to continue like this! With that, he slammed the microphone on the floor of the rostrum. Then he turned around and condescendingly pointed to the nose of Zedenbar, chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Mongolian People's Republic, and said: "You Mongolian People's Party and the political axe have launched a comprehensive critique of Danba's anti-Soviet ideas!" After speaking, he stomped his feet and left the venue angrily.

Zedenbar, who looked very small, followed behind the huge Soviet adviser with a flattering smile, "Comrade Beligarovsky", "Comrade Beligarovsky, don't be angry!" Don't be angry, we must take this matter seriously."

Looking at the departing back of Beligarovsky and poor Zedenbar, the second secretary of the Mongolian People's Party, Surenzab, said to Zedenbar: "Comrade Chairman of the Council of Ministers, is this what you call the sovereignty of reading? Is our Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party more like a state party committee in the Soviet Union? Even the state party committee can't do that. Has our party completely lost all its reading power, not only organizationally, but also ideologically? ”

Zedenbar gritted his teeth and said to Danba and Surenzab: "All right! Haven't you had enough of it! You wait, I will make you pay a heavy price for your words and deeds today! ”

Danba's struggle with the Soviet Union and its agent in the Mongolian People's Republic, Zedenbar, was another large-scale clash after Tenzin, the first chairman of the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party and commander-in-chief of the Mongolian People's Army, had a fierce dispute with the representatives of the Soviet Union [***] on the direction of Mongolia's development at the Third National Congress of the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party in 1924.

In the middle of the night on August 26, 1924, on the orders of the representatives of the Soviet Comintern, the Soviet troops in Mongolia suddenly arrested Tenzin, the first chairman of the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party and concurrently commander-in-chief of the Mongolian People's Army, on the charge of "attempting to use the Kulen garrison to carry out an open rebellion", and was secretly executed within 24 hours.

What will be the outcome of this struggle? All the people were nervous and concerned about this life-and-death contest that was related to the fate of Outer Mongolia. The chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Mongolian People's Republic, Zedenbar, who hugged the thigh of the Soviet Union, and the representatives of the Soviet Union were in full swing

The returnees, led by the first chairman of the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party, Danba, are also actively carrying out various clandestine activities

Similarly, Outer Mongolia has also become a battlefield for the game between the two great powers, China and the Soviet Union

Taking advantage of Khrushchev's secret report "On Personal Superstition and Its Consequences" at the 20th Congress of the CPSU, it provoked turmoil in the entire camp of socialist countries. The "anti-party group" in the Soviet Union, headed by Molotov, swore to defend Stalin's line to the death and launched a fierce counterattack against the anti-Stalin "revisionists" led by Khrushchev. Khrushchev lacked the same strong support as China in later history, and the countries of the world did not agree with Khrushchev's anti-Stalin revisionist approach. Both sides are trying to win the support of China's decisive force. The issue of Outer Mongolia and the territories occupied by the Soviet Union became China's biggest bargaining chip. But this issue is indeed too sensitive and affects the hearts of the Chinese people and the Soviet people. Both sides gritted their teeth and held on.
