In addition to the Tsarist policy of aggression and expansion, Lenin and Stalin constantly expanded the borders of the Soviet Union through the export of revolution, especially Stalin, who used the identity of the victor of World War II to occupy the territory of many countries, and after World War II, the Soviet Union and almost all surrounding countries had border territorial disputes. One of the major reasons for their reluctance to resolve the border territorial issue with China is that they are afraid of triggering a chain reaction with all the countries that have border territorial disputes with them.

However, in the face of the hearty, fierce and rapid attack of the Chinese [***] team, the territory ruled by the Soviet Union in the Far East, in the rumbling of artillery, as the Chinese tank tracks continue to roll forward, every minute and every second is shrinking. Although these territories cannot be fully owned by China from a legal point of view, whoever understands that they will occupy them, and the actual occupation is occupation. There is no country in the world that pretends to be an X to judge this reason, especially between the two superpowers, and no one is going to get into trouble with this. It's useless to make a reason, if you want to get these occupied territories back, it only depends on whose ability is greater, and the winner is king. From the time of Tsarist Russia to the reign of Stalin, the Soviet Union has always pursued this set of "natural laws".

The politicians of the Soviet Union, who knew this deeply, were in a hurry. The Soviet army on the battlefield lost in a mess. Can't wait! I can't wait. A ceasefire as soon as possible is a top priority, and a minute earlier the ceasefire will reduce the loss of territory. The Soviet delegation led by Mikoyan discussed overnight, and a consensus was quickly reached within the delegation, and the best plan now was to have a realistic discussion with the Chinese delegation within the framework of the principles set by Zhou Enlai, so as to achieve a ceasefire as quickly as possible, and only a ceasefire could stop China's constantly rolling tank tracks.

The next day, Mikoyan, head of the Soviet delegation, spoke first in response to the proposal put forward by Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai to cease fire first, maintain the status quo at the time of the ceasefire between the two sides, and avoid further armed conflict between the two sides, and the armed forces of the two sides should take the ceasefire line as the center and retreat two kilometers back to disengage. We, the Soviet delegation, agreed in principle. In order to have a basic guarantee for the cessation of the armed conflict between China and the Soviet Union and the peaceful settlement of the problem between us, we believe that we should add one more article on this basis: to set up a third-party supervisory body composed of socialist countries to supervise the ceasefire, and in the event of a dispute between the two sides, the supervisory body will organize the troops of the two sides to contact each other and resolve the issue through consultation.

Li Dawei, head of the Chinese delegation, was very unimpressed with this proposal of the Soviet Union, and a third-party supervisory agency could stop the armed conflict between China and the Soviet Union? Can it provide a basic guarantee for the peaceful settlement of the territorial issue between China and the Soviet Union? What a joke! There will be many peacekeepers in later generations, and whoever will not have their own interests to follow, otherwise who will find this trouble. What benefits can you Soviet Union give to others? Don't give benefits who will talk to you about this egg. However, he was able to understand the thinking of the Soviet Union, and in his own weak situation, of course he hoped that there would be an international organization to protect his interests, or at least to have a witness to the unfair treatment he had suffered, otherwise it would sometimes be justified and unclear. Li Dawei secretly thought to himself, okay, then organize those little socialist brothers to set up a supervisory body. It would be good to form a United Nations peacekeeping force. Does it take time to set up a supervisory body, and does it take time for a supervisory body to move in. Time is now the most precious, time is China's future territory, time is China's future resources, and I will occupy all that I should occupy without waiting for the supervisory organs to come. We didn't have a third-party to supervise before we gained a foothold in the new district. He immediately said: "Comrade Mikoyan's proposal is very construction. We agree with this proposal of the Soviet comrades. This is also fair in our big socialist family. ”

"But there's a question of the size and cost of a third-party watchdog." Chiang Ching-kuo interjected.

Mikoyan thought to himself that the richer he was, the more he slammed the door, and this money was worth mentioning. At this time, Kosygin took it in an agitated tone and said: "Comrade Chiang Ching-kuo, we believe that China and the Soviet Union should bear half of these expenses, and if the Chinese comrades feel that they are in difficulty, we can bear all of them." ”

Regarding Kosygin's move, Chiang Ching-kuo felt that he could not accept it, did not bear the stinginess, and was as stiff as Kosygin, and felt a little "resentful", so he said directly in Russian: "I don't mean the question of who will bear the money, but that there are technical problems in these two aspects"

After seeing that the Chinese delegation had agreed to the proposal put forward by the Soviet side, Mikoyan said: "Comrade Li Dawei, it is our sincere and sincere wish to ease the current situation between the Soviet Union and China, and we hope to discuss the measures proposed by our two sides as soon as possible." So that we can achieve a ceasefire as soon as possible. ”

"In order to end the war between the two great socialist powers, China and the Soviet Union, as soon as possible." Andropov was also very anxious and said: "I propose that we divide into four groups and discuss at the same time. ”

The Soviets were really in a hurry.

Mao Anying glanced at Li Dawei, who was silent, thought for a while, and then said to Andropov: "We also want to end this war as soon as possible, but it is still too early to carry out grouping, and the two sides still have to discuss Premier Zhou's ceasefire proposal and Comrade Mikoyan's supplementary opinions on the whole, and after forming a general framework, they can discuss each article in groups, otherwise they will not be able to discuss in groups." ”

Subsequently, the members of the negotiating delegations of the two sides exchanged views on how to cease fire and how to implement Zhou Enlai's proposals.

According to the order of Deng Feng, commander-in-chief of the front-line command of the Soviet Union and commander of the Chinese Far East Corps, the general attack launched by the Chinese People's Liberation Army against the Soviet Union in advance, the aviation of the Far East Corps and the Chinese Air Force, which came later to receive the captured Soviet aircraft and airfields, cooperated with the armored forces on the ground to carry out a surprise attack on the Far East, the Soviet ground forces in the Far East have completely collapsed, the main industrial areas of the Soviet Union in the Far East have all fallen, all Soviet division-level combat units have been divided and surrounded, and the Jinge Iron Horse of the Chinese People's Liberation ArmyAt the same time, the 1st Chinese Airborne Division and Army Aviation carried out large-scale airborne and airborne landings on Krsk, north of Lake Baikal, and Taksi, Styyok, Niemner, Ait, Kopula, and other towns and transportation nodes south of 53 degrees north latitude. Although some unformed Soviet troops still put up stubborn resistance, in the face of three-dimensional strikes from the ground and the air, these Soviet troops simply did not have the strength and experience of modern warfare in this regard, and their combat weapons and tactics were still stuck in the era of World War II. Some infantry even absurdly launched a sea of man-like charges against a cluster of tanks covered by Chinese helicopter gunships

When cleaning up these scattered remnants of the Soviet army, the Army Aviation Regiment of the Army Aviation Corps did these time-consuming and laborious "small tasks," and it was particularly handy. With the unique advanced consciousness of the Chinese [***] team, they made the "Land War Eagles" more unstoppable. It has truly achieved the goal of being able to strike -- using missiles and rockets to carry out all-round, multi-height, and multi-angle precision strikes against the Soviet army's solid ground positions, armored targets, and low-altitude targets. Able to transport -- Carrying a special operations detachment, taking advantage of the cover of weather and terrain, it adopts low-altitude and ultra-low-altitude penetrations to carry out sabotage warfare behind enemy lines. Being able to jam -- that is, being able to use a variety of means to carry out electronic jamming against the Soviet troops and to open an air communications hub for the mobile Chinese ground forces. Reconnaisance -- It can complete reconnaissance flight missions and night searches in plains, jungles, mountains, and alpine areas, and provide ground troops with the latest information on the Soviet army in a timely manner. It can also complete diversified military tasks with other ground forces such as air-ground integration and joint operations.

Another early morning came, and Zhang Tao woke up Deng Feng, the commander-in-chief who had just slept on the marching bed of the headquarters, before the battle against the Soviet Union: "Commander, Dawei's call." ”

Deng Feng rubbed his reddened eyes and took a sip of cold tea on the table. He took the satellite phone and said in a somewhat hoarse voice: "Dawei, you diplomat, you can't sleep well early in the morning, come to call, what instructions do you have?"

"Old man, how are you fighting, Lao Maozi can't resist, and he is in a hurry to sign a ceasefire agreement." Li Dawei said on the phone: "I want to ask you how many days it will be?" ”

Deng Feng's eastern front and the middle line are almost there, and the remnants of the enemy are being cleaned up, and the western front is still close, and there is still a division and two regiments in Xinjiang Province and the Soviet Central Asian Military District, which have not been resolved. I asked Mr. Peng, and he said that there were still two or three days left. ”

"Okay, then I'll be dragging on for two days, you throw all the troops up, don't have to leave behind, speed up, and take as much as you can." Li Dawei then said: "Lao Maozi, I propose that the socialist countries should form a third-party supervisory body to supervise the ceasefire. But I don't think it's going to be organized for a while. It doesn't matter if you sign it, those troops in the Far East of the Soviet Army have also let you fight almost, so you can occupy it. Anyway, the Soviet Union doesn't have a single number now. It's just a matter of ceasefire. ”

"Don't worry, you can't spare them. This time, let Lao Maozi spit out all the food he has eaten for hundreds of years. Even the principal and interest are all repaid. Deng Feng paused for a moment and said, "The issue of prisoners of war will be delayed for a while, and it will be useful for me to keep them." ”

"Good! No problem" Li Dawei agreed: "I will contact you at any time for the situation here."

Li Dawei talked to Deng Feng on the phone, and he had a bottom in his heart.

After two days of intense and round-the-clock work, the two sides finally reached complete agreement. The Sino-Soviet Armistice Agreement was initialled:

In order to put an end to the armed conflict on the Sino-Soviet border, which has caused great suffering and bloodshed on both sides, and to establish a time limit sufficient to guarantee the cessation of hostilities and all armed actions by both sides in the disputed areas between the two sides, and to maintain the status quo of the ceasefire until a final and peaceful settlement of the border issue between China and the Soviet Union is reached, until the border territorial issue between China and the Soviet Union is fully resolved.

We hereby agree, individually, jointly and mutually to accept, and to be bound and governed by the terms and conditions of the armistice set forth herein, which are purely military and shall apply only to the belligerents in the disputed areas between China and the Soviet Union.

Article 1: The relevant concept of "ceasefire" refers to the act of the two sides issuing an order to stop fighting at the same time to the armed forces of the armed forces in the area of armed conflict, to stay in place and to cease all hostilities, starting 12 hours after the signing of this armistice agreement by the two sides with the political axe of China and the Soviet Union.

The "ceasefire line" refers to the position where the front-line commanders of the armed forces of China and the Soviet Union jointly signed this armistice agreement 12 hours after the signing of this armistice agreement. Areas where there are no armed forces of both sides in the disputed area are demilitarized zones and neither armed forces are allowed to be stationed.

"Disputed areas" are those areas that China and the Soviet Union have their own terms and historical evidence. ”

"Third-party monitoring agency" refers to an organization composed of 500 police officers from each of 10 countries, including the DPRK, Poland, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Romania, and Albania, and supervises the implementation of the ceasefire by the armed forces of both sides. China and the Soviet Union are to bear 50 per cent of all costs incurred by the third-party supervisory bodies during the ceasefire.

The "demilitarized zone" refers to the area disputed between China and the Soviet Union where there is no armed forces of the two sides, and the buffer zone formed by the armistice line with the ceasefire line as the center and the armed forces of the two sides retreating two kilometers each for disengagement.

The "Military Armistice Commission" consisted of 10 high-ranking officers, five of whom were appointed by the Minister of Defense of the People's Republic of China and the other five by the Minister of Defense of the Soviet Union. Among the 10 members, the two sides are composed of one general, one lieutenant general, and three major generals or their equivalents.

The Military Armistice Commission or the Chief Commissar of either of the two sides has the right to request a third-party supervisory body to conduct special monitoring and observation of the place where the violation of this Armistice Agreement occurred. When the Military Armistice Commission determines that a violation of this Armistice Agreement has occurred, it shall immediately report the violation to the Soviet commanders.

The establishment of the second ceasefire line and the ceasefire line of the demilitarized zone shall be clearly marked after the military armistice commission has approved the map of the location signed by the front-line commanders of China and the Soviet Union when the ceasefire order takes effect. Front-line commanders of China and the Soviet Union should erect appropriate markers along the border between the demilitarized zone and their respective regions. The Military Armistice Commission and third-party oversight bodies oversee the erection of all markers along the ceasefire line and the demilitarized zone.

Neither China nor the Soviet Union shall conduct any hostile acts or any armed actions in the demilitarized zone.

No soldier or civilian is allowed to cross the ceasefire line without the authorization of the Military Armistice Commission.

No soldier or civilian in the demilitarized zone shall enter the area under the military control of either side without the permission of the supreme commander to whom he or she is requested.

No military or civilian person shall be allowed to enter the demilitarized zone, except for personnel related to the administration of civil affairs and relief and persons authorized by the Military Armistice Commission.

All personnel in the demilitarized zone are not allowed to carry weapons of self-defence without the permission of the Military Armistice Commission, except for the Civil Police Officers, who may carry weapons for self-defence in accordance with the provisions of the Military Armistice Commission
