Chapter 511 Agreements dealing with historical treaties

In order to show his sincerity, Mao Gong sent Sergei to the Soviet Union. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info For this, Xiaolu expressed doubts. Is there a more secure candidate? Sergey was just a student. Mao Gong insisted, and Xiaolu and the others had no choice but to give up. I finally rescued the people, why did I send them away?

The issue of supplies was raised by the trail. The USSR agreed without hesitation. Xiaolu knew that the Soviet Union was also in difficulty now, so he proposed to use the production line machinery and equipment to compensate for the materials, and sent people to guide production.

The solution of the Soviet Union was to use the supplies aided by the United States, that is, to give the supplies aided by the United States to the Northeast. Many people did not expect that this article would have such a great and far-reaching effect on the industrial system of Northeast China

As for the cancellation of the unequal agreement of the Tsarist era, it was jointly proposed by the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.

This time, the government knew that Molotov was going to Yan'an again, so it sent Song Ziwen again. The two sides jointly proposed the abolition of the unequal treaties of the Tsarist era.

When Stalin heard this, he was furious and said, "This is blackmail."

This is the first time he has been blackmailed by a weak country.

Molotov was also very upset, deducing that this was a historical problem, and that the Far East was already under the actual control of the Soviet Union, and we could not solve it.

According to the requirements of the national government, Song Ziwen privately negotiated with Molotov and asked for all military aid to be given to Chongqing, so this article could be delayed.

When Zhou Gong learned about it, he immediately notified Mao Gong. Mao Gong was very angry, and found Song Ziwen overnight, saying: "We finally found this suitable opportunity to raise the issue of unequal treaties with the Soviet Union. Since it was a joint negotiation between the two countries and the Soviet Union, they should not make a deal with the Soviet Union privately. This is the sale of land, the sale of sovereignty. ”

Song Ziwen was speechless, and said for a while: "If you give us half of the aid given by the Soviet Union, we can not talk about this issue." ”

Zhou Gongdao: "The Soviet Union did not give aid. Not gratuitous. We are going to send troops, and we are going to exchange the lives of our soldiers. We will not take a penny from them in vain, and we must be principled in our negotiations. ”

Song Ziwen was even more speechless, in this case, it is impossible for him to say that this is what Lao Jiang meant, I disagree.

While they were arguing, Molotov asked for talks.

The talks began again, and this time, Molotov really saw the differences between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and took advantage of this to start negotiations, saying: "Our Soviet government gave a lot of aid to the Chinese government in the past few years. Now, we need your troops to help, and we don't understand that you are raising historical issues. ”

Zhou Gongdao: "Our two parties have just reached an agreement that they are willing to turn the former Soviet Union's aid to the Nationalist Government into debts and the Nationalist Government will repay them. As for the question of history, that's another matter. ”

Song Ziwen said: "Our public opinion is under great pressure. I hope the Soviet side understands. ”

Mao Gongdao: "Historically, Tsarist Russia and the Qing Dynasty signed many unequal agreements. The Soviet Union was a socialist country, and it was not appropriate to carry the moral burden of the feudal government of the past. ”

Zhou Gongdao: "We jointly resist the German and Japanese fascists, and we also need political mutual trust. The so-called political mutual trust is to make the people of both sides believe in each other. Solving historical problems is a good way to win the trust of the people. ”

Molotov did not take any reason at all, and now he has a request for others, and it is not easy to be as tough as China used to be, and said: "This matter is too big, and I have already asked the Soviet political and political bureau for instructions." I can't reply here. ”

After a day of delay, Stalin still did not budge.

At this time, the Japanese army, as if cooperating with the negotiations, conquered Irkutsk, and in the course of pursuing the Soviet rout, captured Angarsk, Siberian Usoliye, Cheremkhovo.

The Soviet army had less than 20,000 troops, and the Japanese army was nearly 150,000. The head of the Soviet army was killed, the army lacked strong leadership, the fighting spirit was not strong, most of them surrendered, and less than a thousand people fled by train. The vanguard of the Japanese army pursued on captured trains, and by the time the news reached Stalin, the Japanese had already pursued Nizhne-Udinsk. Because the Soviets blew up the bridge and came down.

At this rate, the Japanese army could reach the city of Novosibirsk in a week.

Now, Stalin has put almost all the troops drawn from the Far East on the Western Front, especially Moscow, which is simply a meat grinder for the Soviet army. The Germans used the equipment and fortifications built by the Soviet army, and even the military supplies of the former Soviet army to fight the Soviet army, and each side invested millions of troops in a fierce battle in Moscow.

On this day, the German army dropped a large number of leaflets on the Soviet side in Moscow, saying how the Japanese army was progressing, how it had already won, and that the German and Japanese troops were flanked on both sides, and that the Soviet army could not fight on both sides, and that all sides of the battlefield had lost one after another.

Stalin was simply not capable of fighting on two fronts. He deployed heavy troops in Moscow, in the south, in Leningrad, and in other places to fight against the White Bandits, and the army was really insufficient. Recruitment is a little slower, and the main battlefield on the Western Front is in a hurry.

The defeat of the United States in the Pacific theater was a huge blow to Xiaogang's confidence. Originally, he was also happy for a while when the Japanese army attacked Pearl Harbor and pushed the United States into the Allied camp, but soon, he realized that intelligence from all sides showed that the United States was somewhat unreliable.

The Soviets sent some local troops and recruits of about 100,000 men to Novosibirsk, but it was difficult for these troops to resist the Japanese army, which had received a large amount of Soviet equipment. The Soviet Union's expectation was only to slow down the pace of the Japanese army with the lives of these army recruits.

In later films, Stalin would calmly call on the people of the whole country to wage guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines and carry out sabotage, and in fact, Stalin also spoke, but slowly.

In the Far East, where the Japanese saw all the Soviets, along the railway line were areas where residents gathered. There was news that after conquering several cities near Lake Baikal, the Japanese army carried out another massacre, killing almost all the inhabitants of these cities.

Stalin called for it, and not many people responded behind enemy lines, because there were not many people here.

Under intense pressure from the Japanese army, Stalin gave instructions to Molotov to agree to hold talks on the issue of unequal treaties in the era of Tsarist Russia. The talks were held with the Chinese central government.

Stalin knew that the government of the Republic of China was less difficult and could exchange small aid for concessions from them over large territories. Until today, he Xiaogang, that is, Stalin, finally understood that the most difficult to deal with was Yan'an. Negotiating with Yan'an is a nightmare.

Sure enough, Mao Gong listened to it and resolutely disagreed, and also demanded that according to the current model, a delegation from the Kuomintang and the Communist Party would conduct negotiations.

The government was anxious to achieve results and demanded that Yan'an promise Stalin. Mao Gong insisted, and after another day of delay, Stalin relented again and agreed to talk according to the existing model.

Both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party agreed that once the Soviet Union agreed to these articles and signed the agreement, they could send troops and start fighting the Japanese.

In order to win a nominal victory, the government asked Fu Zuoyi to send troops to attack the Japanese army in Inner Mongolia in order to cooperate with the Eighth Route Army in Northeast China and Outer Mongolia.

The agreement is as follows:

First, recently, the Chinese army will start fighting against Japan on the line from the northeast to Outer Mongolia, and the Eighth Route Army south of Shanhaiguan will fight in the north, so we will have an advantage over the Japanese on the local battlefield.

Second, raise the level of the CCP's liaison offices in the Soviet Union, send Sergei to the liaison office as a translator and secretary, and complete his studies.

Thirdly, continue to help the Soviet military and civilians in the Soviet Far East to retreat to the base areas of Manchuria.

Fourth, the Soviet Union helped the Eighth Route Army enter Dihua.

Fifth, as compensation for the losses of the Eighth Route Army, the Soviet Union presented the Eighth Route Army with military supplies and production equipment worth 100 million rubles.

Sixth, the USSR agreed in principle to abolish the agreements signed by successive tsars and China. The parties agreed that the USSR agreed to continue negotiations with the KMT and the CCP on the specific process of abolishing the historically unequal agreements.

The agreement, which is a supplement to the agreement of the previous talks, will be signed immediately and will enter into force. The Soviet Union verbally demanded that the contents of the agreement not be released immediately, but it was too late, and Xiaolu asked someone to leak the news to Chinese and foreign reporters in Chongqing, who came to Yan'an one after another and soon learned the contents of the agreement.

This agreement sowed the seeds of contradictions between the CCP and the Soviet Union. The Chinese army did not send all its troops to the Far East of the Soviet Union in accordance with the requirements of the Soviet side, but attacked the Japanese army on the front line of Outer Mongolia in the northeast, and sent small troops to the Soviet Union to attack and harass the Japanese army. China also demanded the abolition of historically unequal treaties.

The Soviet Union has gone from a position of superiority to a position of demand. With such gas, the USSR had to endure and swallow.

On the same day that the agreement was made public, the General Headquarters of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces of the Eighth Route Army issued a telegram: According to the orders of Yan'an and the headquarters of the 18th Group Army, the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army and all units of the 18th Group Army launched a full-scale attack on the Japanese army in North China, Northeast China, Outer Mongolia, and Outer Northeast China.

Chongqing's "Xinhua Daily", "Ta Kung Pao" and other newspapers also published the telegram. "Xinhua Daily" issued an editorial: Fight bloody battles to recover the country.

Because Xiaolu provided a lot of information, Yan'an also agreed with some of his ideas. Today, Yan'an has taken a series of measures to try to use Japan during World War II to recover the territory lost by China over the years. This time, although the USSR agreed in principle, it did not promise to return it immediately, but only proposed to return it in principle.

In this case, it was already more than expected to get the USSR to promise to return. So Yan'an decided to launch an attack in the northeast at this opportunity, and strive to recover the northeast as soon as possible. As for the recovery of the territory from the Soviet Union, it can only be listed as a long-term goal.

At this time, Chongqing was full of pessimism: the most powerful US military bases in the Pacific were all destroyed, and although legend has it that the new base has been decided to be in Australia, not New Zealand, people do not know that it will be built in that year.

In the past few days, the Japanese army launched attacks in many places in the South Seas, and the British, American, and French armies were defeated and retreated. It is a matter of time before the South Seas are lost, and the only foreign aid channel in the southwest is in the direction of India. The British army was so reluctant to fight, and it was only a matter of time before India was lost.

The people in the upper echelons are calculating that now, the most ideal place to flee and settle down their families is probably only in the United States. It's just that if the United States and Japan go to war, the ships going to the United States may be attacked by Japan's powerful fleet at any time, what should we do?

In other words, the agreement signed between the Soviet Union and the government with the Soviet Union in Yan'an caused a very good response among a small number of intellectuals, and most people did not pay much attention: the Soviet Union was simply a benefit and not a fee. The declaration of the Northeast Coalition Army was not paid much attention to at all. Even the intellectuals who are pro-Yan'an are not optimistic about the paper statement of the Northeast.

In fact, the person who was most happy with this statement was Lao Jiang of Huangshan in Chongqing. He was pleased to see that even if the Eighth Route Army had tens of thousands of troops in the northeast, they were quickly eaten up by the Japanese army of nearly one million.
