Chapter 193: Mountain Rain is Coming

1957 was indeed an extraordinary year for the international movement, all socialist countries were in a state of restlessness, spending unpeaceful nights and nights, only the socialist New China injected the "base mutation gene", with its unique immunity towering and immovable, China [***] is outstanding, and the scenery of the land of China is unique. Khrushchev made a secret visit to China in May 1957 in order to gain the support of the Chinese side.

Yanjing in May is full of spring colors. The warm spring breeze blows the revival of green life, light green, grass green, dark green...... The green is spreading, the flowers are blooming, and everywhere is new and vibrant.

In the Juxiang Book House in Fengze Garden, Zhongnanhai, Yanjing, the supreme chief and his comrades-in-arms laughed and talked about the world, and he dusted off his long cigarette ash and said to Zhou En: "This Khrushchev made a surprise attack at the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, causing chaos in the world, and the result? Lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot. Heh, heh, this time I came to us to move troops for help. I still have to talk to him about the issue of Outer Mongolia. There is also the land issue north of Heilongjiang and east of Lake Balkhash. โ€

Zhou Enlai estimated that these two questions were too difficult, and said to the supreme leader with a smile: "Chairman, I'm afraid this question is difficult to ......."

"I know it's a tricky question. The USSR would not have agreed to it. But it's a good opportunity after all, so it's good to say it. The supreme chief pinched his waist with his left hand, waved his right hand upwards and said: "Even if there is one percent hope for a peaceful settlement, we must make 100 percent efforts, we will not carry out surprise attacks, we will salute first and then soldiers, and it is always better to quarrel than to fight." โ€

As a result, the issue of Outer Mongolia was once again raised at the Yenching talks between the Chinese and Soviet parties. "Comrade Khrushchev, we are ready to officially take back Outer Mongolia, what do you think about this?" Zhou Enlai asked.

Khrushchev was stunned, silent, and did not seem to hear Zhou Enlai's question. After a long time, he coughed dryly and said: "Comrade Prime Minister, it is difficult for us to answer this question you raised, this is a matter between Mongolia and China, and it has nothing to do with us. We are a third party. Wouldn't it be good for you to talk directly to the Mongolian comrades yourself? He thought for a moment and then said: "Our attitude depends on the attitude of our Mongolian comrades. โ€

Such an attitude of Khrushchev to the Mongolian question was expected. It is not difficult to imagine the attitude of the Zedenbar authorities, who were completely under the connivance of the Soviet Union.

"Comrade Khrushchev, we have one more question to discuss with you." Li Dawei took out a map of China in the early Qing Dynasty from his purse and said, "We have never discussed this issue," Li Dawei looked at Khrushchev's small eyes and flashed a trace of alarm, and then said: "It is the border issue between our two sides." โ€

"The border issue between our two sides?" Khrushchev said in an extremely exaggerated tone, pretending to be confused and very cunning: "This is the first time I have heard that there is still a border problem between us?" โ€

Li Dawei looked at this pretending stupid Khrushchev and said: "Comrade Khrushchev, emotionally speaking, we really don't want to dwell on the past history. From September 7, 1689 (the 27th year of Kangxi), the signing of the Treaty of Nebuchu to 1944, when the Tangnu-Ulianghai region with a total area of about 170,000 square kilometers was formally annexed by the Soviet Union, in this short period of 268 years, the total territory of our country occupied by Tsarist Russia and your Soviet Union was as high as 444, 380,000 square kilometers, if you count the 1.44 million square kilometers of China's territory in Outer Mongolia, A total of 5,883,800 square kilometers, accounting for more than one-third of China's total land area. โ€

The venue was quiet and you could hear the movement of the second hand of the watch, and everyone was watching Khrushchev in silence. Khrushchev really regretted that this trip to China, which did not benefit much and caused a lot of trouble, wiped the beads of sweat that kept pouring out of his bald head with a handkerchief, "Comrade Li, I very much doubt the real surname of all this you said. Maybe it's because I don't know much about these issues. We can't really discuss this issue at this time. Khrushchev said vaguely.

"Comrade Khrushchev, of course, you can say that you are not aware of the series of unequal treaties and specific acts of occupying Chinese territory signed by Soviet Russia to force the Qing Dynasty, but you will not be unaware of the two 'Garakhan Declarations on China' that Lenin declared that these unequal treaties should be abolished." Li Dawei asked relentlessly.

In 1917, the October Revolution broke out in Russia, and Lenin issued two "declarations on China" in order to win over China and prevent the first proletarian power in the world, the Soviet Union, from being attacked from both the east and the west. On July 25, 1919, the First Declaration of Garrahan on China stated: "All land acquired by aggressive means in Manchuria and elsewhere in China during the time of the Russian Empire shall be abandoned." The Second Galahan Declaration on China of September 27, 1920 said: "All treaties concluded between the previous Russian political axes and China are null and void, all the territories previously seized in China and all Russian concessions in China are renounced, and everything that the tsarist political axe and the Russian bourgeoisie brutally seized from China are to be returned to China permanently and without compensation."

Not only that, but he also knew that on the issue of the unequal treaty between China and Russia, in addition to the two "declarations on China" of the Soviet political axe, Lenin had said when he was alive that he would return to the Asian people the Asian lands plundered by the tsar. When the Chinese Revolution succeeds, Mongolia will naturally become part of China. But after Lenin's death, Stalin completely reneged on Lenin's promise, killing a deputy minister of defense who had recorded Lenin's speech, and then refused to admit what Lenin had said. Taking advantage of the difference in content between the two declarations on China issued by the Soviet Union and Russia and the "Joint Declaration of Sun-Wen-Yue-Fei," Stalin not only denied the fact that Russia had invaded and occupied Chinese territory, but also took advantage of the time of war in China to go beyond the provisions of the unequal treaties of the Tsarist era and the universally recognized norms of international law to demarcate more than 600 of the more than 700 islands on the Chinese side of the center line of the main waterway, covering an area of more than 1,000 square kilometers, in the Ussuri River and Heilongjiang rivers. In particular, in July 1929, the 'Middle East Road Incident' broke out between China and the Soviet Union due to the ownership of the right of way of the Eastern Railway, causing an armed conflict. As a result, Zhang Xueliang's Northeast Army was defeated, and the Eastern Railway returned to its original state under the control of the Sino-Soviet Communist Party. The Soviet Red Army seized the opportunity to occupy the island of the Black Blind in the middle of the Ussuri River

"But what about that? Give these territories to the Chinese, joke! That is absolutely impossible, even now that Lenin is alive, it is impossible to do so. But I'm here to ask for help. It is impossible to discuss this issue well, and if it is not discussed well, Molotov's gang will benefit. And when it comes to territorial issues, the responsibility is too great. The loss of any inch of territory leads to its own downfall. Well, let's kick this ball to Molotov and let him deal with this problem that can't be handled well. Thinking of this, Khrushchev smiled at Zhou Enlai and said: "Although Comrade Molotov committed all kinds of crimes during the Great Purge during the Stalin era, he is still a member of the Presidium of the Central Committee, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and in charge of China's foreign affairs. โ€

Bulganin, who was sitting on the side, thought to himself: "Khrushchev, this bald donkey, is really too insidious, and kicking this thankless job inside and outside to Molotov like this can really be described as killing two birds with one stone." If Molotov refuses to give up an inch of land, he will offend China from top to bottom, and if he wants to get the support of China, he will not even have a door; If Molotov had dared to relent, the anti-party clique and the accusation of betraying the national interests of the Soviet Union in exchange for China's support would have been confirmed, and even if Khrushchev did not do anything, the Soviet people would have to tear him to pieces. โ€

On April 18, 1957, under Deng Feng's personal arrangement, Yang Guang and another Mongolian comrade named Liu Yi of the Far Eastern Working Committee flew from Yanjing to Ulaanbaatar in Outer Mongolia in the name of the second secretary of the embassy with the rank of diplomatic second secretary and Mongolian interpreter. In order to get in touch with Danba, first secretary of the Central Committee of the Outer Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party. Make some necessary preparations for the return of Outer Mongolia. At the "customs" at Ulaanbaatar airport, a Outer Mongolian soldier in a captain's uniform saluted Yang Guang and the others and said the Russian word "ะ’ะฐัˆะฟะฐัะฟะพั€ั‚" (please show your passport). Yang Guang looked at the Russian-speaking Outer Mongolian soldier, tried his best to hide the murderous aura emanating from his body, and took out his diplomatic passport and quarantine certificate with a smile. The captain took the passport and opened it, looked at Yang Guang and the two of them, and returned the passport to Yang Guang. He saluted Yang Guang again, and made a "please" gesture while saying "ะŸะพะถะฐะปัƒะนัั‚ะฐ".

At the luggage area, Yang Guang saw a person wearing a blue cotton coat with a hemp velvet collar, carrying a big bag on his shoulder, and holding a big package in both hands, talking loudly to the Outer Mongolia customs officer, Yang Guang looked at Liu Yi who was following behind and asked, "What is he talking about?" โ€

"The man said that he was an overseas Chinese, and all his luggage had been checked, and there were no prohibited items, so why should he confiscate it." Liu Yi said a little angrily, "This must be the discrimination of overseas Chinese in Outer Mongolia, and I want to get some oil." โ€

Yang Guang wanted to go over and intervene, but when he thought about the work they were going to do, it was inconvenient for him to show his face, so he said to Liu Yi: "Go over and ask, be careful not to make a noise." โ€

Yang Guang sat in the large off-road jeepri of the domestic "blue sky" that came to pick them up from the embassy, waited for Liu Yi, and after a while Liu Yi got into the van and said: "These Outer Mongolians are really poor and crazy, and when they saw that this overseas Chinese named Zhang Daming had just returned from China and brought some supplies and old clothes from relatives, they wanted to confiscate them. Look at me, there is interference from the embassy and the people will be released. โ€

Yang Guang patted the driver's shoulder and said, "Lao Meng, let's go" Yang Guang couldn't help but think of what he had encountered when he was studying in the United States, and sighed for a long time, "Hey, it's not easy for overseas Chinese to mix outside"

It is about ten kilometers from the airport to the city of Ulaanbaatar, and there are not many pedestrians on the road, and there are even fewer vehicles. Along the way, Yang Guang carefully observed the terrain on both sides of the road, and his years of battlefield battles and sniper occupation, coupled with his training as an agent in the Printing Working Committee, enabled him to remember everything he saw as clearly as a video in his mind. He saw a statue of Suhey Battle on horseback standing in the middle of the square in front of the Political Axe Building in the center of the city, "Well, it's almost time to get to the embassy." He judged by the map of the city of Ulaanbaatar that he had memorized when he came. Upon arrival at the embassy. Yang Guang and Liu Yi quickly settled everything, and under the leadership of Yu Hongtao, the military attache counselor of the embassy, they met with Ambassador Wu Ming, who looked at the ambassador who was not tall but sturdy and looked about forty years old, and was very shrewd, explained the situation to him, and asked Ambassador Wu to arrange an appropriate opportunity to meet with Danba, the first secretary of the Outer Mongolian People's Party, as soon as possible.

In Outer Mongolia in April, although spring has entered, the information of spring is weak and thin, and the streets of Ulaanbaatar are still dry and cold. The Soviet Russian faction and the returnee faction in the Outer Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party are secretly accumulating strength and preparing for the final fight. Within all the [***] organizations in the world, the line struggle between comrades has always been extremely cruel and life-and-death, and throughout the history of the international communist movement, there is no exception.

Ten kilometers south of Ulaanbaatar, there is a dense forest of dark green pines on one side and the Tula River, where a few green grass tips have been drilled out of the large areas of dead grass on the riverside, as if to announce to the world that spring has arrived. On the other side of the Tula River, several of Danbaatar's cronies are hunting at the edge of the alpine forest, but they are on guard. From here there were occasional sounds of horses' hooves, and in a log cabin left by hunters in the forest, Danba, the first secretary of the Mongolian People's Party, was in a meeting with several of the main leaders of the returnees.

"Lately, Zedenbar's gang has been very active, and his Soviet wife, Filatova, has to go to the Soviet embassy alone almost every day. At 2:12 p.m. the day before yesterday, Zedenbar and his wife sneakily went to the Soviet Embassy together, and did not come out until yesterday morning, and then, Zedenbar was at home, and summoned the first vice chairman of the Council of Ministers, Maidar, the alternate member of the Politburo, the first secretary of the Ulaanbaatar Municipal Party Committee, Altangalle, the alternate member of the Politburo, the secretary of the Central Committee, and the chairman of the Mongolian-Soviet Friendship Association, General Chaoke, the first deputy minister of the Central Committee and the Ministry of National Defense, and Yunden, the first deputy minister of the Central Committee and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to hold a meeting. It was not until after dark that they dispersed through the doors of Zedenbar's mansion. "Major General Ulan Tob, the political commissar of the Ulaanbaatar garrison, reported to Damba on a series of activities in Zedenbar.
