On behalf of Yan'an, Xiaolu issued an order to Li Lanchi of Sakhalin Island asking him to preside over the inauguration ceremony of the Sakhalin Special Administrative Region. At the same time, Yan'an also issued an order appointing Li Lanchi as the supreme head of the Sakhalin Special Administrative Region, referred to as the chief executive.

Li Lanchi asked someone from Yan'an or the Northeast Bureau to preside over the inauguration ceremony of the administrative region, but Xiaolu insisted that he should preside over it himself, and it should be established sooner rather than later, before Chongqing and the Soviet Union reacted.

The concept of the special administrative region was decided at a meeting when Mao Gong came to the northeast.

August 10, 1943. Sakhalin.

The ceremony of the inauguration of the administrative district of Sakhalin and the inauguration of the monument of the place name began.

Li Lanchi led his troops to liberate all the large and small towns along the lower reaches of the Heilongjiang River, and in May, the Sanjiang Column reached the mouth of the Heilongjiang River. There is a city here, which the Soviets called Nikolaevsk-on-Amur.

This city, once the base of the Soviet Pacific Forces, has the Chinese name Temple Street.

In the past few months, Li Lanchi has done several things.

The first was to collect all the large and small ships of Heilongjiang Province and concentrate them on Temple Street to transport men and horses to Sakhalin at night.

The Japanese troops in this area knew that there was no hope of victory, so they could only flee and flee downstream, fleeing to Sakhalin. Of the 20,000 Japanese troops pulled out of the glass, nearly 18,000 had been annihilated, and less than 2,000 remnants fled to Sakhalin with the local police.

Li Lanchi also went to Sakhalin Island. Their fleet marched quickly on the sea, landed in front of the Japanese army, fought a fierce battle, and with the cooperation of the air force, wiped out more than a thousand people, and the rest of the Japanese army fought a way to flee south. Li Lanchi sent a brigade of troops to continue the pursuit, and the others began to build Sakhalin.

After arriving on the island, the Northeast Coalition Army informed the United States that our troops had landed on Sakhalin Island and occupied its northern part. Such sudden good news made Americans very excited, and it also made Chongqing even more worried.

Now the southern part of Sakhalin is still in the hands of the Japanese. However, the troops were advancing rapidly, and the Japanese were retreating.

The second thing to do after arriving on the island was to build a pier on Sakhalin Island, across the temple street, and from the pier, a road was built on the island. The former USSR had an airfield here, and with a little repair, it could be used. It's August, the best season to get the pier built before winter arrives.

The third thing was to apply to the Northeast Bureau to send a large number of Henan refugees to Sakhalin. The Northeast Bureau promised that those who came to Sakhalin would double the area of land allowed to be developed by each family, and as long as they took root here for fifteen years, each family member would be exempt from the loan amount of 1,000 yuan to be returned, that is, a family of three would receive 3,000 yuan free of charge in 15 years. The deadline for the implementation of this policy is until the end of August this year.

1,000 yuan in the northeast, that's a huge amount of money, a worker's monthly salary is only 30 yuan, and a family has a worker, and life is good. A settled refugee family, in the first year or two, owes the government five or six hundred yuan, which is a huge debt, and only by working hard can the loan be paid off in a few years.

The fourth thing is to carve place name tablets on Temple Street and Sakhalin Island.

The story of the place name tablet also starts with a tidbit of Mao Gong's last visit to the Northeast.

After Xiaolu and Mao Gong had a secret meeting, on this day, Mao Gong was in a good mood, and Xiaolu said: "My private matter is here again." ”

Mao Gongdao: "Do you want me to write for you?" ”

Xiaolu said: "I said that I asked you to write a few words and use them in the future, which is obviously a lie." But I have to ask you to write a few words. Even if I save for my descendants. ”

Mao Gongdao: "If the reason is not sufficient, I will not write." I have a reason, I don't have a brush in my hand. Can't write. ”

Xiaolu said: "Isn't this a brush?" ”

Mao Gongdao: "I just want to hear the reason." ”

Xiaolu said: "I heard that near the mouth of the Heilongjiang River, there is a small city, or town, called Temple Street. There is a temple on Temple Street called Yongning Temple. Temple Street got its name from this temple. There are two stone tablets in Yongning Temple, one is the eleventh year of Yongle, which is the 'Yongning Temple Record', and the other is the Xuande Eight Years 'Rebuilding Yongning Temple Record'. The inscription of Yongning Temple records that the eunuch was also lost, and went to Nuer in the ninth year of Yongle to set up the Yamen of the capital and build the Yongning Temple two years later. The front is engraved in Chinese, the back is engraved in Mongolian, and the lower part is engraved in Mongolian and Jurchen, all of which are abbreviated in Chinese on the front. On both sides, there are also six-character mantras in Chinese, Tibetan, Mongolian, and Jurchen scripts. The monument of Yongning Temple was rebuilt in Chinese, and it was also lost in Chinese, and then went to the place to rebuild Yongning Temple. The second stele is an important material evidence in the early Ming Dynasty that governed the Heilongjiang, Jingqili River, Ussuri River, Songhua River basin and Sakhalin Island after the previous generation. In 1858, after the signing of the "Aihui Treaty" between Tsarist Russia and the Qing government, they occupied the location of the monument. In 1904, the second monument was moved to the Vladivostok Museum. I have found these two stone tablets, please write a few place names and compare the similarities and differences between your calligraphy and the calligraphy of the ancients. ”

Mao Gongdao: "That's why I want to hear it." ”

Xiaolu brought pen and paper, and Mao Gong wrote a few characters, one is Temple Street, one is Vladivostok, one is Burleigh, one is Hailan Pao, and the other is Sakhalin. Write each word twice. Xiaolu was overjoyed, took one of them to the troops in various places, carved the stone as a basis, the original was kept in the archives, and the Chinese place name was restored, and the other was collected by himself.

Driven by the path, the leaders of the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army are very fond of calligraphy, and when they have the opportunity, they ask celebrities to write a collection. However, some people did not think so, and they took pleasure in collecting Japanese command knives.

The most positive one for these words is Zhao Shangzhi, he didn't come from the road, he really had no choice, so he went to Mao Gong himself, asked him for words, and gave Mao Gong two Japanese major general command knives. Mao Gong readily agreed, and wrote a painting of Lake Baikal, a painting of Nebuchu, a painting of Tangnu Ulianghai, a pair of Chita, and a painting of "unity and tension, seriousness and liveliness" and gave it to him.

Zhao Shangzhi got four characters, and he was happy at first, but immediately, he felt the deep meaning of Mao Gong's writing about Lake Baikal and other places, and immediately asked someone to take back Lake Baikal and other places, carved a number of place name tablets, and collected the other one by himself.

Li Lanchi carried the word "Temple Street" of Mao Gong with him, and asked people to carve stones on the hillside, each word as high as two meters.

When Mao Gong came to the Northeast, Li Lanchi flew back to Yichun. Mao Lu and Li talked to each other, and Mao taught Li Lanchi face-to-face.

The year before, Xiaolu laid out the west bank of the Ussuri River, and arranged Li Lanchi on Temple Street and Sakhalin Island, but Li Lanchi did not approve of it, feeling that this was not the main battlefield. He looked in one direction, North Korea. His ambition is very big, that is, to take Korea and set foot on the Japanese mainland.

Mao Gong listened to his ambition and said, "Why do you have such thoughts? ”

Li Lanchi said: "Our commander-in-chief has talked about several examples of Korean wars. China and Japan, whoever occupies Korea has the initiative. I think that if Korea is occupied, the Japanese will be terrified, and the situation in the Pacific will be different. ”

Mao Gong was impressed by his strategic vision, led him to the map, and said, "Your idea is very strategic. That's why I sent you to Sakhalin. If you look at the geographical location of Sakhalin, it can reach Hokkaido, Japan in the south, control the North Pacific Ocean in the north, defend Vladivostok in the west, and communicate with Canada and the United States in the east. If you think of yourself as an idle player, that's not right. ”

Li Lanchi stopped talking.

"Don't talk about the occupation of North Korea, especially in public," Koji added. ”

The three of them pointed to the map, pointing to the country. Li Lanchi thought for a long time and said, "Then our easternmost border is actually here, which is the Bering Strait. Then this peninsula is important. What is this peninsula called? ”

Path: "Kamchatka." ”

Li Lanchi: "I understand the task given to me by the central government, not only to occupy Sakhalin Island, but also to occupy the Kamchatka Peninsula and occupy all the territory west of the Bering Strait. Right. Because legally, this is already the territory of our country. ”

Mao Gong: "That's right. However, the occupation of the front, estimated to be costly. It is said that there were still some Soviets there, and the footprints of the Japanese did not reach there at all. ”

Koji: "What the chairman meant, I understand, is that the Bering Sea is a long-term goal, Kamchatka is a medium-term goal, and Sakhalin is a short-term goal. Anything that is conducive to the resistance to Japan is a short-term goal. ”

Mao Gong: "Our national strength is limited. Comrades still have work to do. ”

Li Lanchi: "It looks like I need a lot of big boats. ”

Xiaolu said: "Look here. He was referring to the Kuril Islands, which the Japanese call the four northern islands.

Li Lanchi: "These islands are currently in the hands of the Japanese. Right? ”

"If we occupy it, it will be a great threat to the Japanese mainland. It's like a thorn in your throat. ”

Li Lanchi's eyes lit up and he said, "When I occupy Sakhalin, I will formulate a battle plan to recover these islands." "It's like occupying the Japanese mainland.

Since Li Lanchi finished talking with the two, he felt a great responsibility, he didn't sleep all night, and left Yichun early the next morning and flew to the lower reaches of the Heilongjiang River.

The place name tablet of Sakhalin Island is a large stone in the middle of the mountain, and on the front of the big stone are three big characters of "Sakhalin", and below are three small characters of Mao * Ze * Dong.

On the side of the large stone is an inscription on the account of the reconquest of Sakhalin Island written by a gentleman asked by Li Lanchi. At this stage, he did a lot of research on history, adding some evidence that these places belonged to China since ancient times.

The ceremony was solemn and attended by thousands of soldiers and thousands of civilians, including hundreds of Sakhalin natives who had worked hard to find the Northeast Coalition Army.

The studio's camera crew recorded the whole process.

In his speech, Li Lanchi briefly talked about the history of Sakhalin, and then changed the conversation and said: "In the past 100 years, this land has been discovered and occupied by this one, and the people who grew up on this land have been completely forgotten. Our thousands of years of civilization have been divided, and our people have to speak other people's languages, and as long as people say that this is a forbidden area, our people have to move. Now, we're back. I want to say to those who have been here for generations, you are the masters of this place! ”

The crowd was very quiet.

Li Lanchi said: "On behalf of the Chinese government, I make a declaration to the world: the establishment of the Chinese Sakhalin Special Administrative Region!" ”

Later, when the reporters in Chongqing were dealing with this piece of news, they found that General Li only talked about China, not the Republic of China.
