With clear skies and white clouds, Ulaanbaatar seems to have regained its vitality. Deng Feng, who was dressed in spring and autumn field camouflage uniform, was full of energy, heroic, and full of strength in his resolute eyes. Standing in front of the window of the former mayor's office on the third floor of the Political Axe Building in the center of Ulaanbaatar, he watched the thousands of liberated Outer Mongolian people and some overseas Chinese who were excited with the five-star red flag in their hands, cheering and jubilating on the square of the Political Axe Building, joyfully celebrating the return of Outer Mongolia to the embrace of the motherland, and bursting into deafening cheers from time to time in the crowd. There were also some other Outer Mongolian people who climbed onto the statue of Suhebatar on horseback standing in the center of the square in front of the Municipal Axe Building, put a wire rope around the neck of the statue of Suhei Batel, and then tied the other end of the wire rope to the towing hook behind a 3-ton truck in Erbiang, Soviet Union, and then waved to the truck driver and shouted for the driver to drive

This reminded Deng Feng of the scene that happened in the Paradise Square in Baghdad, the capital of Iraq, in later generations, and he did not approve of this, but he also did not want to stop this spontaneous behavior of the people of Outer Mongolia

"Chief, the phone number of the commander of the 1st Army 2nd Mechanized Infantry Division." Deng Feng turned around and took the phone from the hands of the combat staff officer: "Lao Tian, I'm Deng Feng, how is it?" Have you moved into the city of Sukhbagir? ”

"Commander Deng Feng, we haven't entered the city yet, and we are in trouble on the bridge over the Hun'e River south of Sukhbagar City," the commander of the 2nd Mechanized Infantry Division, Tian, said anxiously on the phone. "The Soviet army blocked the bridge with tanks, and some Soviet soldiers did not take weapons, but with wooden sticks and iron pipes to stop our advance."

"What? Will Soviet soldiers with sticks and iron pipes be able to stop the advance of our mechanized infantry divisions? Deng Feng asked puzzled, and then ordered: "Use the 'destroyer' to knock the Soviet tank under the bridge." ”

"No, Commander," replied in a loud voice, "the Soviet soldiers are lying in front of our tanks in rows. ”

Deng Feng couldn't help frowning, the situation of the Soviet army stopping the advance of our army like a group of playful shrews was unexpected by Deng Feng. In this operation to recover Outer Mongolia, the principle of the central government's handling of the Soviet garrison in Outer Mongolia is that as long as there is no armed resistance, try not to do anything or not, after all, the two countries are still socialist countries and have common beliefs, and the United States, the number one imperialist country, will benefit the most. This is well known to the politicians of both China and the Soviet Union, and this is the result they are most unwilling to see. Although the Flying Leopards of the Far Eastern Corps and the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Army of the Returning faction were the first to disarm the Soviet garrison in the Ulaanbaatar area, after all, they were secretly attacked, and the real face-to-face did not tear this face. Although the 1st Army in Choibalshan City also wiped out a heavy artillery battalion of the Soviet Army, which was more than 10 kilometers apart between the two sides, and the artillery firing was not considered face-to-face, the politicians of China and the Soviet Union knew it well, but they were able to cover their faces with "misunderstandings" and explain to their respective domestic people. If the armies of the two sides really face each other with big eyes and real guns, and really press over the bodies of those Soviet soldiers lying in front of the tanks, then they will not be able to hide from the people at home no matter what, and whoever wants to make some concessions to the other side in the political settlement in the future will probably be difficult, because there is no way to explain to the people in the country, and the politicians will not say that the dead will be alive again. No politician wants to narrow his own path.

"You pull them away one by one, they use wooden sticks and iron pipes to stop you, won't you also use wooden sticks and iron pipes to drive them away," Deng Feng said helplessly: "Let the soldiers wear helmets, wear protective gear, and beat me, I don't have to pay for my life if I am killed, while fighting, the tank moves forward." ”

So on the south bridgehead of the Hunt'e River Bridge in the south of Sukhbagar City, there was a very strange war spectacle, the soldiers armed to the teeth on both sides, put down the modern and efficient killing weapons, picked up the most primitive weapons, sticks, stones or hand-to-hand combat, it was really a big fight, killing people did not pay for their lives, both sides fought to the death. Due to the limited space, the two sides could only participate in this weapon fight as a company. When this call is tired, it will be replaced, and the tank will move forward inch by inch.

Isn't it ridiculous? It's not ridiculous at all, that's politics, that's the politicians' game.

This "shrew" tactic of the Soviet army was ordered by the highest authorities of the Soviet Union, and Khrushchev told Marshal Zhukov to "shrink the forces stationed in Mongolia and not allow them to surrender, but they are not allowed to fire the first shot at the central [***] team, and they are not allowed to take the initiative to attack, but they do not evade the attack of the Chinese." Awaiting a political solution. Zhukov, who should have stepped down a few months ago, not only did not step down because of the influence of the "al-Qaeda element" on the changes in the political situation in the world, but he was still a staunch supporter of Khrushchev.

This instruction of Khrushchev made Marshal Zhukov, who had fought all his life, dizzy, how to fight this battle? How to fight that is not Khrushchev's business, politicians only have to formulate principles, and you can go to the specific methods yourself. In the face of China's recovery of Outer Mongolia, Zhukov has nothing to do, where is China's strength? Over the years, he has been following China, a rising military power, and he has seen the documentary of China's hydrogen bomb test sent by Li Dawei two years ago, which far exceeds the thermonuclear device tested by the Soviet Union. The fact that the hydrogen bomb in the documentary of China's hydrogen bomb test is dropped from the off-frame umbrella and then exploded, which shows that China is not conducting a thermonuclear device test, but a thermonuclear weapon test. China has successfully completed the combination of thermonuclear devices and delivery vehicles. This kind of experiment was completed by the United States and the Soviet Union only last year. China launched an artificial earth satellite two years ago, proving that it now has an intercontinental missile with huge thrust, while the Soviet Union launched an artificial earth satellite with only 83 kilograms half a year ago. From this point of view, the Soviet Union's strategic nuclear strike capability is now certainly below China's. According to the first-hand information obtained from India, China's "destroyer" tank has no weapons that can effectively destroy it, and India only used anti-tank mines to blow up the tracks of Chinese tanks in the war, but it only takes more than ten minutes to replace the small damage, what can it do? On May 13, Chinese artillery easily wiped out a Soviet heavy artillery battalion in a single fire coverage at Choibalshan; All of its own 6 MiG-19 fighters were shot down before they could detect the shadow of the Chinese plane. Six MiG-19s were exchanged for a phrase from the pilot of Lieutenant Colonel Paslovsky: "Missiles, China fired missiles at us."

Although one thing is certain, China did not have as many aircraft, tanks, and artillery as the Soviet Union, can this qualitative difference be filled by a numerical advantage?

How China managed to do all this in such a short period of time is not within the scope of its own research, but how to deal with this formidable opponent. So he came up with this solution, which was not the way out, to buy time for a political settlement. However, the premise must be that China still stresses the "class love and comradely love" of the socialist camp, otherwise this method can only turn into a one-sided massacre.

On May 18, Deng Feng urgently summoned the former Soviet ambassador to Outer Mongolia Sabika at the Municipal Axe Building in Ulaanbaatar.

As soon as Sabikatsky entered the office, Deng Feng's eyes fell on this red tide ambassador who looked to be in his 50s, with a strong body, a red face, and a face that only high blood pressure patients have, Deng Feng strode up and held Sabikavusky's hand like a bear's paw, "Hello, Comrade Sabikavusky"

Sabikaski's eyes were also looking at Deng Feng: "Hello! Comrade Deng Feng".

Deng Feng could see from Sabika's straight waist and walking posture that he was a soldier, and it was not difficult to see from his expression that the "ambassador" in front of him should be an 'old man' who dared to act and was extremely adventurous. After a few words of greeting between the two sides, Deng Feng restrained his smile and said: "Comrade Sabikadsky, I invite you here today to announce to you on the orders of the Chinese political axe: First, from now on, all diplomatic personnel of the Soviet embassy in the former Mongolia will no longer enjoy the treatment of diplomatic agents, and whether to set up a consulate in Ulaanbaatar will be subject to further consultation between the two political axes.

Second, the Soviet armed forces and all military installations in the former Mongolia must be withdrawn unconditionally within one week.

Third, the Soviet Union's previous creditor's rights and debts against the former Mongolia will be borne by the Chinese government after the two sides have been re-examined by both sides. For treaties that are being implemented and those that have not yet been fulfilled, the two political axes of China and the Soviet Union will renegotiate whether to continue to implement them.

Fourth, the 2,935 Soviet military personnel who were disarmed in the process of China's recovery of Outer Mongolia, including 101 wounded, will be handed over to the Soviet side at the Prague Customs in Altan, three days after all Soviet troops have withdrawn to the territory of the Soviet Union.

Finally, Deng Feng expressed his deep condolences to the 1,873 Soviet military personnel who were unfortunately injured and died by mistake in the process of accepting Outer Mongolia, and promised to return the ashes of these Soviet soldiers and the weapons disarmed this time to the Soviet side one month after the Soviet troops withdrew to the Soviet Union.

Zapikavusky, on behalf of the Soviet political axe, expressed a burst of indignation and condemnation of China's armed invasion of the fraternal Mongolian People's Republic. Finally, he said that the Soviet Union, in order to maintain the unity of the entire socialist camp, accepted China's proposal.

Deng Feng looked at Zabikatusky, who looked gloomy, and said to the former Soviet ambassador to Outer Mongolia with profound proletarian feelings: "Comrade Sabikadisky, please go back and tell Comrade Khrushchev and the Central Committee of the Soviet Union and all the Soviet people that both the Chinese and Soviet parties are proletarian political parties with Marxism-Leninism as the guiding ideology, and the Chinese and Soviet peoples are the greatest and most outstanding nations in the world. We, the Chinese nation, like your great Russian nation, love our homeland deeply, and we have no territorial ambitions against the Soviet Union. We only want to take back the territory that belongs to us. The root cause of the evil in the territorial dispute between our two countries is the aggressive and expansionist policy of the political axe of Tsarist Russia, for which Comrade Stalin of course bears considerable responsibility. We should take a further look and deal with the problems left over from the history of our two countries in accordance with the two "Galakhan Declarations on China" that abolished a series of unequal treaties signed by Tsarist Russia to occupy Chinese territory under the proclamation of Comrade Lenin, the great teacher of the proletarian revolution. How nice would that be? ”

"That would mean that we would give up more than 1.5 million square kilometers of Soviet territory." Sabikatusky blurted out: "Can the Soviet people agree?" ”

"Comrade Sabikaszsky, have you ever thought about it, if not like that, can the Chinese people agree?" Deng Feng then asked, "Have you thought about what the result will be if the people of the two countries do not agree?" ”

"Lives are devastated" Zabikavusky's mind appeared in the documentary of China's hydrogen bomb explosion test, and his voice trembled a little: "The destruction of the world, Comrade Deng Feng, what do you mean?"

Deng Feng handed Sabikatusky a Chinese cigarette, then lit one himself, and said, "I mean that I want the Soviet comrades to think about it and take the courage of a proletarian revolutionary with the broad-mindedness of Comrade Lenin to effectively solve the territorial issue between China and the Soviet Union." Tell the Soviet people that what is not their own is unacceptable, that it will always be a bomb that will explode at any moment. ”

Sapikavusky took a deep breath of the mellow Chinese cigarette and said: "But, Comrade Deng Feng, have you Chinese political axes taken into account the fact that the Soviet people have settled in these territories for more than a century? ”

"As long as we want to solve these problems, in line with the principle of voluntariness, those who are willing to stay are the same as the Chinese, and we Chinese political axes who are not willing to stay will give him enough relocation expenses, including the Soviet political axe's investment in these lands over the years, and we will pay them together."

Sabikavusky nodded and said: "I will definitely convey your opinion to the Soviet political axe and the Soviet [***] Central Committee. ”

"No, Comrade Sabikaszsky, this is not my opinion, it is the opinion of the Chinese political axe," Deng Feng hurriedly corrected.

"Good! I will definitely convey the opinion of the Chinese political axe completely and accurately to the Soviet political axe and the Soviet [***] Central Committee," Zapika Evasky also hurriedly corrected.

"Comrade Deng Feng, I still have a small personal request, my daughter, who has just entered college, would like to get a semiconductor radio made in China. Do you know? Owning a Chinese-made semiconductor radio in the Soviet Union was a status symbol. Zabikatsky stood up and said with some embarrassment: "I know it's not appropriate to talk to you like this, but for the sake of the child."
