Chapter 490: The Treaty of Ganying

In fact, from the ratio of the number of army prisoners to the number of people killed in battle, we can also see the stability of the rule of the Soviet Russian government, during the First World War, the Russian army was captured as many as more than 4 million, and in this Great Patriotic War, the number of Soviet Russian Red Army killed more than half of the number of Tsarist troops in World War I was more than half, but the number of prisoners was only more than 60 thousand, which is simply a world of difference. It is precisely because www.biquge.info of domestic stability that the mentor has the confidence to adhere to the principles in an extremely difficult situation and win the greatest benefits for his own side in the negotiations.

Negotiations between the two sides took place in the city of Ganying on the eastern shore of the Caspian Sea, and the resulting treaty became known as the Ganying Treaty. The city of Ganying is the most important port on the Caspian Sea coast, and was called Turkmenbashi during the reign of Tsarist Russia, and the reason why it was changed to its current name is to commemorate Gan Ying (Note 1), who traveled west to find Daqin (ancient Rome) in the name of Banchao, the capital of the Western Regions, but could not solve the problem of crossing the sea, and finally returned in vain.

Perhaps in order to contain the potential enemy Germany and the current enemy Soviet Russia, the old Chamberlain decisively gave up Poland, which had been squeezed dry, but for the three Baltic states, which were much smaller in terms of area and population, the old Chamberlain insisted that the Soviet Russian government recognize its independence, because the German government also made the same demand, coupled with the maritime superiority of the coalition forces, Soviet Russia had no possibility of recovering the three places, and the mentor finally chose to retreat, but this was also one of the only two major concessions he made in this negotiation.

On the other hand, the Red Army withdrew from Finland, but at the insistence of the mentor, such a strategic point as the Karelian Isthmus was preserved, so that the enemy, even if he sent troops from Finland, would not pose a direct mortal threat to Petrograd. Although Finland once belonged to Tsarist Russia, it was not part of the Russian Empire, but only an autonomous Grand Duchy where the Tsar was also the Grand Duke, and the Finns were not Slavs, and there were many differences in language, culture and blood, so it was not easy to digest.

Although the war situation is unfavorable, the mentor ignores the demands of the coalition side for compensation and land cession, and it is the other party who takes the initiative to seek peace. Sure enough, the British delegates quickly abandoned this unrealistic demand and turned to the question of the release of political prisoners, with the result that the Russian delegates replied equally crisply: there were no political prisoners in Soviet Russia......

The representative of the coalition who made up his brain for Soviet Russia and killed all the political prisoners suddenly thought that he had caught the evidence of the Red Doctrine and held on to it, but he did not expect that this would lead to his own replacement soon, and the old Chamberlain only considered Britain's own interests, why did he care so much about the life and death of the Russians? Even if it is just as a means to raise prices, now Britain is in a hurry to cease the war, and there is no spare time to slowly fight with Soviet Russia!

However, security was also an interest, and in many cases a national interest more important than economic interests, and the elder Chamberlain could ignore the actions of Soviet Russia at home, but he must not allow the red ideas to flourish in Europe, and the new negotiators accurately grasped his ideas, insisting that the Bolsheviks stop exporting the revolution, and that Romania and Bulgaria must welcome back their legitimate governments.

However, the Mentor's attitude was very tough, he demanded that the anti-Soviet coalition be dissolved first, and only then consider stopping the export of revolution, and only agreed that the Bulgarian Soviet Government would absorb some petty bourgeoisie and national bourgeoisie to form a coalition government as a buffer zone between Soviet Russia and Turkey, and anyway, much of the country's territory was still occupied by the coalition forces, and the current Soviet Russian Red Army was unable to recapture it. As for Romania, where Soviet power has been largely consolidated, the mentor would rather fight for another year than let go.

The elder Chamberlain was very dissatisfied with this, but the changes in the international situation during the negotiations still forced him to make concessions, at best, Bulgaria as a buffer zone, Soviet Russia could only expand to the west, which would inevitably break out into a direct conflict with Germany, which was in line with his expectations.

However, the elder Chamberlain underestimated the cunning of his mentor, and the name used by the representatives of Soviet Russia when signing the contract was always the country "Soviet Russia" rather than the Russian Bolsheviks, and as a result, after Soviet Russia eased up, it "merged" with Romania to form a new state, the "Union of Slavic Socialist Republics", and Soviet Russia was no longer the main body of the state, and the treaty signed before could naturally be disrecognized......

After the signing of the "Ganying Treaty", the tragic Great Patriotic War of Soviet Russia finally came to an end, although the theater of war was limited to a small area of eastern Europe and Asia, but its impact on the world pattern was not much smaller than the previous Three Kingdoms War.

In the face of the siege of 29 countries, the new Soviet Russia still survived tenaciously, restored much of the territory of the old Russia, and had a little brother or vassal state with the same ideology, such a strong performance fully deterred those hostile countries externally, so that Soviet Russia could start its own industrialization process surrounded by strong enemies, and internally made the whole country proud of the strength of their motherland. Coupled with the fact that the would-be reactionaries had jumped out and been purged during the war, the Soviet power, which had risen too quickly and had been unstable, had now been greatly consolidated.

However, the vitality of Soviet Russia was also greatly damaged in this war, not to mention that even after the "recovery" of Poland and other places, the population of Soviet Russia only rose to a pitiful 120 million, and almost half of the young and strong men died, and the ratio of men and women of childbearing age was seriously imbalanced......

Note 1: Li Hui believes that the "West Sea" that Gan Ying found is the Caspian Sea and not the Persian Gulf as the mainstream view believes, citing the difficulty of crossing the sea indicates that local shipping is not well developed (even if the local shipwrights were deliberately deceiving, Gan Ying could not have been fooled if there were frequent ships at sea). This is not in line with the Persian Gulf, which has been active in maritime trade since ancient times (long before the establishment of the Arab Empire, the maritime trade in the Middle East was very active. However, the Caspian Sea is more similar to the Caspian Sea in the west and south, while it is still a wild land in the north, and the Caspian Sea is also geographically recent, and it is not like the Persian Gulf that is actually easy to bypass on land, which is more logical to look at.
