On October 16, the Battle of Kulen had entered its most tragic period, and the two sides were constantly increasing their troops, with the Chinese army increasing to 180,000 before and after, and the Soviet army also having 200,000 before and after.

The Chinese army was limited by supplies, so it couldn't expand even if it wanted to. The Soviet army was limited by the strength of the troops, and the strength and bravery of the Chinese army made the Soviet army feel frightened, and Pavlov, who had already come to personally command the battle, was also very headache.

The Soviet Union's forces in the Far East were not very large, and now at least half of them are engaged in the battle in Outer Mongolia, and if there are more troops, in case the squadron attacks the Far East, then there will be no army to defend the Far East.

So far, the Soviet army has suffered more than 100,000 casualties, and the puppet Mongolian army has suffered more than 50,000 casualties.

According to the statistics of the war, the casualties of the Chinese army were also about 100,000, and the casualties were about 4 or 50,000, more than half of the casualties, and they did not retreat, but continued to increase their troops.

Choibalshan and others were very disappointed, and they didn't know what the result would be if they lost the war, and if the Chinese side insisted on taking their own heads, would the Soviet Union sacrifice themselves and others.

Now that the Soviet Union is on the verge of collapse in Europe, the reason why the Soviet Union is still fighting China under such circumstances is entirely due to its national characteristics.

If the war situation is unfavorable, the Soviet Union will certainly not start a full-scale war with China for Outer Mongolia, and if China asks for an armistice, but wants to wait for their own heads, then they will probably die.

Choibalshan analyzed the situation in the Soviet Union and believed that the current situation was very unfavorable to the Soviet Union, and if he continued to follow the Soviet Union, then he was afraid that it would be a point of no return. But if you don't go with the Soviet Union, who will you follow, I'm afraid that China doesn't want it!

Still, Choibalsan plans to give it a try and send someone to get in touch with the Chinese side, but before sending someone, he still wants to see what other leaders think.

Choibalshan asked people to gather the military and political bigwigs of the puppet Mongolia, these people's faces were as solemn, and the Soviet Union, the world's largest power in Europe, encountered the squadron with heavy casualties, and there was no way at all, which completely subverted the impression of the Soviet army and squadron in their hearts.

Although it is a tie at the moment, which of them does not know a little about the situation in China, and they do not know how the situation outside is.

Choibalshan was the first to speak: "Everyone has seen the current situation, although there is a draw, but China has a population of 50,000, and the Soviet Union only has 10,000. In addition, China is not at war with other countries at present, while the Soviet Union is fighting with Germany, the world's number one, and even Moscow is about to be defeated. We have gathered everyone here today because our army is almost dead, and even if we win, we are just a puppet, not to mention the current situation, we are afraid that we will ...... Alas! Choibalsan sighed.

"Everyone has been following me for so long, and now Mongolia is almost gone, today I am here to inform everyone to bring their families and flee for their lives!"

An officer in military uniform said: "Why did the general secretary say that? ”

Choibalshan said: "The Soviet Union kept Mongolia, just to better protect the Soviet Union, with Mongolia as a buffer, now the Soviet Union is about to be destroyed by Germany, and it does not have an advantage in the battle with China, I see that even if the Soviet Union does not lose, they will not continue to fight with China, otherwise they will be caught between China and Germany, this is a taboo, Stalin is not a fool, how can he watch this kind of thing happen, so in the end the two sides must be what to talk about, the Soviet Union withdrew from Mongolia, and even spit out the Chinese territories occupied during the period of Tsarist Russia. But will China let us go because of this, we are rebels in the eyes of the Chinese government, and if the Chinese government insists on our heads, then the Soviet Union will certainly not be an enemy of China for the sake of their interests, and will definitely hand us over when the time comes. ”

The officer said: "The Soviets will not give up those territories easily, even if they give up temporarily, they will come back later, and we will definitely be valuable to them at that time, so I don't think they will abandon us." ”

Choibalshan said: "You are confused, there are only 800,000 people in Outer Mongolia, and now the young and middle-aged are almost dead, and the Chinese government may be worried that Outer Mongolia will rebel again, even if it is not all killed, it will at least move inward, and the resettlement of 800,000 people is nothing to China, what value do you think you have, is it because you are very familiar with this place, the Soviets are more familiar with this place than you." "Others, of course, know what Choibalsan is referring to.

The Soviet Union and Tsarist Russia were the same, even better than Tsarist Russia, and if the people of Outer Mongolia had moved inward, then they really had no value at all.

An official said: "Where are we going to flee, Outer Mongolia is surrounded by China and the Soviet Union, and if you flee to China, you will definitely die, and if you flee to the Soviet Union, maybe people will immediately detain you, and when the time comes, you will hand us over to the Chinese when the time comes for peace talks, and then it will still be a dead end." ”

Another said: "Yes, if we have a plane, we have at least a glimmer of hope that we can fly to North Korea, which is the closest country to Outer Mongolia outside of China and the Soviet Union, but we don't have planes." ”

Everyone else kept their heads down and didn't speak, as if their end was not far off.

At this time, one person said: "General Secretary, you have always been wise, show us a clear way?" ”

Choibalshan was waiting for this sentence, but he naturally would not open his mouth easily, Choibalshan said: "Where do I have any clear road, I am going to die, pity my family, I am afraid that the Chinese will definitely cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and will not let them go." If the Chinese government is willing to spare my family, I am willing to treat them as cattle and horses for the rest of my life, and I will never dare to rebel again. ”

The reason why Choibalsan dared to say this is that he actually knows that these people are still relatively reliable, although China has declined in the past hundred years, but after the fall of Mongolia from the Manchu Qing Dynasty, although it has sought independence but has failed several times, although it has achieved independence with the support of the Soviet Union, it seems that the Soviet Union is also very strong, but as a leader, he will never put all the bets on the Soviets, but he does not know that the world is impermanent, he must be prepared.

What he is preparing is to arrange all the army and the government with loyal people, so that in case of trouble, he can also control the situation in Outer Mongolia, so that he has a bargaining chip.

The original arrangement really came in handy today, but Choibalshan did not say it directly, in case someone informed, he would definitely be killed by the Soviets.

Choibalshan can only vaguely say that he has taken refuge in China, in history China has always regarded itself as the Celestial Empire, and has been more generous towards rebellions to show the generosity of the Celestial Empire, Choibalshan believes that no matter what, even if China is not a monarchy now, but the characteristics of people are difficult to change all at once, compared with the brutality of the Soviets, he is still willing to pin his hopes on China.

After listening to Choibalsan's words, the people didn't speak, they were thinking. After Choibalshan finished talking about the Chinese government, the eyes of these people lit up. Yes, that's right, the Chinese government has always been very generous in the rebellion of border ethnic minorities, and if he and others take the initiative to write a letter and ask for forgiveness, the Chinese government should let him go, and it would be good to be a rich man in the future.

But as soon as you look at me, I look at you, but no one dares to say this idea in their hearts, they are afraid that there are Soviets in it, and when the matter is leaked, then they and their whole family will really have to die extremely miserable.

Choibalshan didn't speak, and the people were silent, and after about 20 minutes, an officer said: "Death is death, it's better for us to surrender to China, China has always regarded itself as the Celestial Empire, if we take the initiative to surrender and only ask them to spare our lives, I don't think it's a big problem, whether we slaughtered the Han people." ”

Qiao Bashan still didn't speak, and when he saw someone picking his head, he let it go, "I think this method is feasible, otherwise there really is no other way out." In the event that China takes Outer Mongolia and the Soviet Union hands over the occupied territories to China, what if China still wants to attack the Soviet Union? China's historical threat basically came from the north, how could they easily let go of such a good opportunity now, when the time comes, they will attack the Soviet Union with the Germans, and the Soviet Union may not be able to support it! Even if the Soviet Union keeps us for a while, it can't save the first life, why can't we hide from the first day of the new year but not the fifteenth. ”

"Besides, we don't know anything but Mongolian, and if we run away, we won't be able to bring any property, even if we run to another country, we don't know the place well, we don't understand the language, let's be a fart, maybe we'll have to go to the street to beg for food, if that's the case, it's better to die here." If the Chinese government can spare us, although we do not have high-ranking officials, we can still live in our homeland where we have lived for generations, and we will not have to die in a foreign land. ”

Others agreed with the officer's words, indeed, if they fled to other places, survival was indeed a problem, and besides, they were yellow, and it was indeed better than a dog to flee to those white countries in the United States. Some people were whispering in pairs, hoping to come up with a solution.

Don't save a person: "General Secretary, if we send someone to contact the Chinese side, at least it will be an opportunity, it is better than waiting for death." ”

The others also echoed in agreement, and Choibalshan sighed and said, "Alas...... You guys......"

After repeated persuasion by the others, Choibalshan agreed, and these people were happy, so they discussed a solution, which was related to everyone's lives, as well as the lives of their whole family, and no one dared to be careless.
