Chapter 029: Recovering Lost Ground

Gu Weijun said: "There's nothing to think about, return our territory to us, everyone will be safe, it's as simple as that." ”

Buchar Bushuwski said: "But the security problem? ”

Gu Weijun said: "How many territories have you occupied from China over the centuries, since before the Nebuchu Treaty, you have invaded and occupied millions of square kilometers of territory along the Lena River, including the east region, and later we made concessions in the Nebuchu Treaty, giving you all the fertile territories, including the current Baikal Lake, which we have given up today." ”

"The Treaty of Nebuchu also stipulates that the north of the Udi River, the Jugjur Mountains, and the east of the Indijirka River are Chinese territory, and after 1840, you invaded and occupied there, and we have given up those places today, and if you still have any opinions, then you can go back, and you will see you on the battlefield." said that Gu Weijun wanted to leave.

Buchar Bushuwsky hurriedly kept Gu Weijun, but he came with Stalin's mission, that is, to stabilize China for a year, and after a year, Stalin would let China cut off all the northeast and Xinjiang, so no matter what he paid this time, as long as he could achieve that goal, he could fight one-on-one, Stalin thought that China would not be the opponent of the Soviet Union, and the huge industrial gap was there.

At the Nebuchu Conference, the Qing government representatives proposed the first plan with the Lena River to the Arctic Ocean as the boundary, and then conceded and proposed the second plan, that is, the northern branch of the Outer Khing'an Mountains (Nos Mountain) to the northeastern part of the Asian continent and the Nos Cape (i.e., the Chukotka Peninsula), which is submerged into the sea. But in the end, because of the ability of the Qing delegates to negotiate and the desire to put down the rebellion in Dzungaria, they wanted to maintain peace with Russia, and again gave up on the second option and the millions of square kilometers of land, and even the third plan on the border of Lake Baikal. Eventually, the vast and fertile land of Siberia and the close relatives of the Mongols living on it became the land and people of Russia, bounded by the Erguna River to the Trans-Khingan Mountains and the Udi River. China gave up the territory from the Ergun River to Lake Baikal in this treaty, which actually did not work in favor of China.

Since the Tang Dynasty, the Liao, Jin, Yuan, and Ming dynasties have all exercised effective rule over the area, and the Ming Dynasty has also set up a Nuer Gandu Division in the area to govern. In the beginning, Russia was only a Muscovy principality, and its main territory was in Europe, and the vicinity of the Trans-Khingan Mountains was more than 10,000 kilometers away from the Russian mainland. At this time, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was in the so-called "Kangqian Prosperous Era", and Peter the Great had just implemented reforms in Russia at this time, and a country in its heyday, fighting an invader from afar at its doorstep, had to kill and wound thousands of soldiers before capturing the city of Yaksa, which was occupied by only a few hundred Russian bandits. With the national strength of the Qing Dynasty at that time, it should have been able to drive the Tsarist invaders out of the country, but in the end they sacrificed part of the territory (the Nebuchu land east of Lake Baikal, which was originally part of China). Mr. Wen Yiduo made it clear in his "Song of the Seven Sons" that the Treaty of Nebuchu was an unequal treaty: "...... From the Treaty of Nebuchu to the concession of Luda, our country has lost its land, lost its support to the motherland, been abused by aliens, and assumed its sorrow, which is even worse than the seven sons of "Shaofeng......" In the book "The Geography of China's National Shame" published by the Beiping Cultural Society in 1930, the Treaty of Nebuchu was considered an unequal treaty (p. 154: The west of the Ergun River and the Wude River basin were lost by the Nebuchu Treaty in the 28th year of the Kangxi reign and 70 square miles).

Russia is even more hateful than Japan, and it is not at all known as a bad neighbor that China will have 9.6 million square kilometers of territory left in later generations. Without Russia, a bad neighbor, China would have at least 20 million square kilometers of territory. So where did the 10 million square kilometers of territory go, 95 percent of it was taken by Russia, and the rest was taken by the Soviet Union with support for other countries...... We had to retreat in the end.

In the 1979 Vietnam self-defense counterattack, the Soviet Union shielded Vietnam and ignored the fact that Vietnam invaded us, but the fact is that they instigated Vietnam to invade and occupy our territory. Later, Vietnam was defeated, and the Soviets amassed a million-strong army and threatened to occupy Beijing in three days, or we detonated a nuclear bomb on the border to stop their actions, or China might not exist.

Buchar Bushuvsky said: "In this way, the territory of the Lake Balkhash region, for the sake of security, we do not intend to hand it over to you, so we want to exchange the territory of other places, you see how it is." ”

Stalin considered that after the Far East was handed over to China, there would be no ice-free ports, and it would not be of much significance, but the Balkhash Lake area would go deep into Central Asia, and if it was handed over to China, then if the squadron attacked the Soviet Union from here, the consequences would be unimaginable, so he was absolutely unwilling to hand over this place to China, and he must stop the squadron at the now mountainous border, and only if it was difficult to attack would it be beneficial to the Soviet Union.

Stalin believed that if China did not compromise on its territory, then it would have to exchange the territory of the Far East, and that the strategic significance of the port would not matter anyway, so even if it had to exchange the territory of the Baikal region, it would be tolerable, and it would only be temporarily handed over to China for safekeeping.

Gu Weijun believes that this should be acceptable, and if the Soviet Union really doesn't talk about it at all, it may not be a good thing for China.

Gu Weijun said: "Yes, but the Balkhash Lake area has fertile soil, if you want to exchange, you must exchange the territory east of Lake Baikal and the upper reaches of the Heilongjiang River, otherwise we still want the territory of the Balkhash Lake area." And how much territory there is, although this side is not as fertile as that side, but you are not allowed to destroy the finances there, while you are gone. ”

Buchar Bushuwsky said bitterly: "Okay," the Chinese side will not give in, then he can only try to try to win a favorable pattern for the Soviet Union from a strategic point of view.

After a week of quarrels, China and the Soviet Union reached an agreement, China gave up its territorial claims to the Balkhash Lake region, and the Soviet Union did not want the Tangnu Ulianghai area to fall into Chinese hands, the Soviet Union originally asked the squadron to retreat to the south of the Altai Mountains, but Gu Weijun refused, and finally everyone took the current actual occupied area as the standard, and the remaining territory was compensated by the territory of the Baikal region.

In the Outer Khing'an Mountains area, the two sides are bounded by the Outer Khing'an Mountains and the Udi River, with the territory of the Soviet Union to the north and the territory of China to the south. The vast territory east of Lake Baikal and west of the Trans-Khingan Mountains belongs to China.

In addition, within a month after the signing of the treaty, the territory was handed over to China, and the Soviets must withdraw from these places in their entirety, and at the same time must not destroy anything in these places, and the Chinese and Soviet sides will send personnel to supervise them.

Stalin originally wanted to do it within half a year, at least within three months, but Gu Weijun resolutely disagreed, and finally changed it to a month.

It is worth mentioning that the two sides did not put forward such words as not making territorial claims to each other in the future, and later everyone believed that both China and the Soviet Union had bad intentions towards each other, and the signing of this treaty now was nothing but a delaying tactic, and it was naturally impossible for China not to agree to take back its own territory without force, and the Soviet Union's willingness to hand over these territories to China was mainly based on the consideration of the deteriorating national conditions, and it was also a delaying tactic, once the Soviet Union stabilized the situation or defeated Germany, the Sino-Soviet war would inevitably break out. And the later Tehran Secret Treaty also confirmed this.

After the treaty was signed, although the allies were still nervous, from China's stubbornness to not give up an inch of land and not sell any of its interests, they had to believe that China might really just want to get back those lost territories and have no other territorial claims to the Soviet Union, otherwise they would have made concessions on many things, and they would certainly not have asked the Soviet Union to withdraw all the Soviets.

On the German side, Wang Hanzhang told them that the plan was still the same, and they were relieved.

The Japanese side is a little uncertain, and now that they have made peace, it is definitely not a good thing for Japan, but Japan can't manage so much now, and they will talk about it later, they have no ability to influence Huaxia, and continue to pay attention.

And China is boiling, to get back millions of square kilometers of territory from the stinky and hard Maozi, this is indeed not easy, although not through the means of war, but if you want others to return the territory that invaded you, at least you have to have that strength, otherwise why should people return to you.

Today, the Soviet Union has returned these territories, which proves that China is strong, and the people are naturally happy.

Stalin saw that the agreement did not say anything, everything was done with his permission, and now the Soviet troops should take their anger out on the Germans first, and take revenge later. Under Stalin's arrangement, Soviet political workers preached hatred of China among the army. The original voices of dissatisfaction with Stalin were gradually drowned out by hatred, and everyone believed that Stalin was also doing this for the sake of the Soviet Union, and if it was attacked from both sides, the Soviet Union would not exist.

If you want to take revenge, you must first defeat the Germans, and then settle accounts with China, and even bring back the profits, so the sluggish atmosphere of the Soviet Union has risen, and a large number of young men and women have put down the air force to join the army to take revenge.

There was nothing wrong with the Soviets to settle them, some Soviets expressed their willingness to become Chinese, but were refused, these people were a scourge, every Soviet was a spy, and unless the whole of Soviet Russia was incorporated into China, these immigrants were the most dangerous terrorists.

The squadron of 500,000 men marched into this area, first taking over important cities and strategic points, and the Soviets were nervously evacuating.

And the Chinese government is also nervously immigrating to these places, and in the fertile territory, it also needs people to develop and garrison to keep it forever.

The fact that the Manchus did not allow Han Chinese immigrants to the Northeast was an important reason for the loss here, and it was precisely because there was no one here that Tsarist Russia was unscrupulous, so China would not be following this old path today.
