The battle between the Eastern and Western powers in Turkey ended in the defeat of the Chinese Empire over the Entente, but during the game, the quiet rise of another force made both the Eastern and Western worlds feel threatened, and this force was the Red Soviet Union.

At the end of 1921, under the leadership of Lenin and the Comintern, Soviet Russia held its sixth negotiations with Belarus, Ukraine and the Transcaucasian Federation on the establishment of a Soviet Union.

In fact, as early as the first five negotiations, Soviet Russia, Belarus and Ukraine had already reached an agreement, but the Transcaucasian Federation has been hesitant and hesitant. Mainly because the Chinese Empire exerted pressure on the Transcaucasia, and launched the Gulf War, Armenia, a member of the Transcaucasian Federation, launched a military operation, seized the Baku oil area, and controlled the lifeblood of the Transcaucasian Federation, which was forced by the pressure of the Chinese Empire and refused to join the Soviet Union.

However, the Transcaucasian Federation itself is also composed of three autonomous autonomous provinces, Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan, and Armenia no longer dares to shout after it was repaired by the Chinese Empire. Under the pressure of the Chinese Empire, the Armenian leadership underwent a major reshuffle, all the officials who supported joining the Soviet Union were dismissed, the officers who were hostile to the Chinese Empire were also suppressed, and the new Armenian regime was no longer actually Soviet**, but controlled by the pro-Chinese bourgeoisie.

After the Gulf War, Armenia saw the great military strength of the Chinese Empire, and the military exercises in the Caspian Sea made the Armenians feel that they would confront the Chinese Empire. The consequences are severe. At the same time, the Chinese Empire extended an olive branch to Armenia, saying that it could provide Armenia with a protective umbrella.

In this way, Armenia decided to attach itself to the Chinese Empire and, at the behest of the Chinese Empire, opposed the accession of the Transcaucasian Federation to the USSR.

The other two member states of the Transcaucasian Federation, Georgia and Azerbaijan, were frightened by the Chinese Empire. But instead of turning to the Chinese Empire, they were more determined to join the Soviet Union. It was hoped that the Soviet Union would be used to counter the threat of the Chinese Empire.

As a result, the Transcaucasian Federation was deeply divided and the negotiations were not progressive. But Soviet Russia did not want such a stalemate. According to Lenin's plan. They had to develop more countries of the socialist camp and strengthen the Soviet Union at the time of the most fragile period of the capitalist world. Thus, under Lenin's leadership, the Transcaucasian Federation was divided, Azerbaijan and Georgia joined the Soviet camp, and Armenia fell to the side of the Chinese Empire.

Thus was the Soviet Union.

The news of the founding of the Soviet Union shocked the world, and the Western powers, which had just extricated themselves from the Turkish battlefield, and the Chinese Empire were very jealous of the Soviet Union. Because of the world war, except for the Chinese Empire, which is still strong, other countries are powerless. This gave the Soviets the opportunity to exploit loopholes, and the Red SE forces continued to infiltrate the countries and threaten the ruling classes of the countries.

Although Tsarist Russia has perished, Soviet Russia, which replaced Tsarist Russia, is not a good man and a woman, and the Slavs who have risen by stepping on the bones of the Eurasian people have never given up aggression and hegemony in essence.

The November Revolution put an end to the imperial era in Russia, but the imperialist expansion of Russia did not end with the establishment of a socialist regime.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Soviet power, faced with the dual threat of the rebellion of the White Army at home and the armed intervention in Europe, Soviet Russia, which was beleaguered at home and abroad, was temporarily unable to maintain the various aggressive privileges and old territories seized by the imperial Russian era. Out of diplomatic considerations to get rid of the disadvantageous situation of being isolated in the international community and to break the joint offensive of international imperialism, the Soviet power successively proposed to the Chinese Empire to renounce the aggressive privileges seized during the tsarist era and to recognize the actual occupation of Siberia by the Chinese Empire in exchange for the external neutrality of the Chinese Empire, but it never signed a treaty document in the real sense with the Chinese Empire. In Europe, Soviet Russia allowed the enslaved peoples of the former Tsarist era to advocate national self-determination. Most of these insincere promises were not finally fulfilled, and they were only lies to improve the international image of Soviet Russia and consolidate state power.

When the Russian regime was basically consolidated, a new round of expansion aimed at restoring and expanding the old territory of the Tsarist era began. In Europe, the revolution was exported to the nation-states that had just come under Russian rule, in an attempt to overthrow their regimes and establish pro-Soviet puppets. Through the establishment of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the old territory in Europe was basically restored. In the East, the strength of the Chinese Empire made the Soviet Union and Russia temporarily daunted, although it could not take back the territory of the Tsarist era from the hands of the Chinese Empire for the time being, but the Soviet Union refused to sign a treaty with the Chinese Empire to truly establish the Sino-Soviet national border, and the Soviet Union did not give up the Yellow Russia plan to expand to the East, and actively infiltrated the Ash Republic, Tajikistan and other Central Asian countries, and even secretly contacted the Russians under the rule of the Chinese Empire, in an attempt to one day reproduce the territory of the Tsarist era.

The Chinese Empire, under the wise leadership of Emperor Wang Chenhao, had long been wary of the Soviet Union. The annual joint military exercises of the member states of the Great China Federation were launched in the Central Asian region, and the Republic of Ash and other Central Asian countries were invited to visit and invite them to join the Great China Federation. Facing the threat of the Soviet Union, in order to suppress the domestic Comintern International, the Republic of Ash joined the Greater China Co-Prosperity Circle on the second day of the founding of the Soviet Union and became one of the members of the Great China Federation.

At the same time, seeing that the largest Ash Republic in Central Asia had fallen to the Chinese Empire, and other Central Asian countries such as Turkmenistan and Tajikistan had joined the Great China Federation one after another, and Afghanistan, Bos, Turkey, and Armenia were also members of the Great China Federation, the Chinese Empire completely blocked the Soviet Union's expansion to the east and south, and prevented the Soviet Union's plans to enter and exit the Indian Ocean from the Mediterranean Sea and the Gulf of Bos.

The Soviet Union was somewhat inadequate in response to the rapid action of the Chinese Empire. Considering that it was impossible to confront the Chinese Empire at this stage, the Soviet Union chose to avoid concessions and establish friendly relations with the Chinese Empire, hoping to get advanced technological help and economic support from the Chinese Empire.

The merchants of the Chinese Empire were planning to march on the Soviet Union, which was a huge market. It can be profitable for them. Soon, however, Western countries imposed sanctions on the Soviet Union, and repeatedly sent notes to the Chinese Empire to join it. The Chinese Empire convened a parliamentary discussion for this purpose. But two attitudes emerged. One view is that the USSR was an existence with an ideology different from that of the Chinese Empire, an enemy, and that sanctions against the USSR were a priority. But another view is that it is. The Soviet Union did not currently have the capability to threaten the Chinese Empire. Moreover, with the industrial capacity of the Soviet Union, it was the lowest among the industrial countries in the world, and the Soviet Union, without an industrial base, could not pose a threat to the Chinese Empire. At the same time, they believed that the Soviet Union and the Comintern had formed mortal enemies with the Western world, and that the Chinese Empire should use the Soviet Union to contain Europe, and that appropriate assistance to the Soviet Union could contain the re-emergence of Europe.

Both viewpoints were reasonable, and in the end, the cabinet meeting decided that non-governmental economic and trade cooperation with the Soviet Union could be relaxed and the high-tech flow of the Chinese empire into the Soviet Union could be strictly controlled. In this way, economic and trade relations with the Soviet Union could be established. Earning profits for the Chinese Empire can also prevent the Soviet Union from obtaining high technology to threaten the security of the Chinese Empire, and more importantly, easing Sino-Soviet relations is conducive to the overall strategic layout of the Chinese Empire in Europe, because in terms of the current international situation, the European powers are more competitive economically, militarily, and politically, and are the primary competitors of the Chinese Empire. The Soviet Union will not be the main competitor of the Chinese Empire for a long time, and it is in the immediate interests of the Chinese Empire to properly support the Soviet Union according to the strategy of choosing the lesser of two evils.

Eventually, the Cabinet of Ministers introduced a strategy toward the Soviet Union, maintaining restrictions on high-tech exports to the Soviet Union. Non-governmental economic and trade activities that do not affect national defense and security are permitted.

Emperor Wang Chenhao did not understand the decision of the cabinet, so he summoned Tang Shaoyi into the palace to inquire.

"Your Majesty, the reason why the Cabinet did not impose comprehensive sanctions on the Soviet Union is that, in addition to the fact that the Soviet Union was poor and white and was a huge market that could develop economy and trade, the most important reason was that the Cabinet found that the Soviet Union and the Comintern were operating all over the world, especially in French Indochina and British India, British Burma, Dutch East Indies and other places in Southeast Asia, and the first armed forces supported by the Comintern appeared one after another."

Wang Chenhao seemed to have heard the CIA mention it, so he asked, "Is there a relationship between the two?" ”

Tang Shaoyi replied: "Your Majesty, there are still many countries in Southeast Asia that were originally vassal states of the Celestial Empire that are still under the colonial rule of the Western powers, and the Great China Co-Prosperity Circle of the Empire will expand to these countries and regions sooner or later. ”

"With the help of the hands of the Soviet Union?" Wang Chenhao thought for a while, and suddenly asked: "Are you saying that the Soviet Union will subvert these countries, and then the empire will take them back?" ”

"That's what it means!" Tang Shaoyi nodded and said, "Your Majesty Mingjian!" If the empire directly comes into contact with the armed forces of these countries, it will definitely be strongly dissatisfied with the Western powers, and the funds invested by the empire in the Western powers will probably be wasted. However, if the Soviet Union is allowed to be the executioner, with the help of the Soviet Union, to subvert the colonial rule of the Western powers in Southeast Asia, and then the empire will then send troops or support the local armed forces to seize power in the name of the League of Nations to maintain regional peace, then the Western powers will not have the word to target the empire, and everything will be left to the Soviet Union to bear the blame and realize the purpose of the empire's expansion of the Greater China Co-prosperity Sphere. ”

Wang Chenhao agreed: "This is a way to get the best of both worlds!" It's just that the USSR would be so easily fooled? If the meat bun beats the dog, there is no return, but there is a big loss. ”

Tang Shaoyi said with a smile: "The cabinet has already weighed this point. The Soviet Union's slogan in the Comintern was to work for the liberation of the colonial peoples, and the Reich would take this as an opportunity to set out conditions to the Soviet Union, specifying that support for the Soviet Union should be used for the needs of the national liberation movements, and limiting the Soviet Union's use of this support for the needs of the national liberation movements of the Third World. With the current state of the USSR, with which Europe imposed comprehensive sanctions, they could only make a fuss from here in the Reich. Therefore, they will certainly fulfill the conditions. ”

Wang Chenhao nodded and said, "If that's the case, you can also give it a try." Although the Soviet Union will not honestly do what we say, as long as they ignite the flames of the war of liberation of the colonies, the empire will have a chance to intervene. ”

"That's right! That's what it means! Tang Shaoyi said: "The Western powers generally experienced economic hardship after the war. The plundering of the colonies intensified, which led to the frequent outbreak of anti-foreign power movements in the colonies, which shook the dominance of the West in the colonies, while the Soviet Union did not relax its ambitions for foreign expansion and established Comintern leading groups in each colony. Commanding the local ** armed forces to fight against the colonial armies of the great powers was one of the main reasons why the Western powers hated the Soviet Union. And Southeast Asia has been the next region for the empire's expansion. It was just the right time to make a fuss with the Soviet Union and make an excuse for the Reich to intervene. ”

Wang Chenhao said: "Since this is the case, then I can rest assured." ”

Wang Chenhao agreed to Tang Shaoyi's suggestion. The bill was then signed and sealed. The regulations on trade with the USSR were officially adopted. Subsequently, the Chinese Empire recognized the international legitimacy of the Soviet Union and signed a Sino-Soviet trade agreement with the Soviet Union. The Western powers were very dissatisfied with this. However, the Chinese Empire still imposed restrictions on high-tech exports to the Soviet Union, which made the Western powers breathe a sigh of relief. As long as the Soviet Union does not have access to the high technology of the Chinese Empire, the threat to the Western world will not expand.

After the signing of the Sino-Soviet trade agreement, the Soviet Union was greatly happy, because the Soviet Union finally had a trade partner. In Tsarist Russia, industry was already very backward, and the six years of world war and three years of civil war made the domestic industry of the Soviet Union almost zero. There is an urgent need to import industrial equipment and technology from abroad. The signing of the Sino-Soviet trade agreement undoubtedly sent the Soviet Union a great deal of relief.

However, there is no such thing as a free lunch, and the conditions attached to the Chinese Empire are quite harsh. The first was that the Soviet Union must legally recognize the occupation of the territory of the former Tsarist era by the Chinese Empire, recognize the validity of all treaties signed between Tsarist Russia and the Chinese Empire, and emphasize that it must no longer assert sovereignty over Siberia. At the same time, the Soviet Union did not carry out revolutionary infiltration into Armenia, Turkey, the Republic of Ash, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and other countries; The Comintern forbade revolutionary propaganda activities in the territory of the Chinese Empire and overseas territories, and prohibited revolutionary propaganda and armed subversive activities in all member states of the Great Chinese Federation, so as to protect the legitimate rights and interests of the merchants of the Chinese Empire in the Soviet Union from being violated; The Chinese Empire enjoyed one-sided most-favored-nation status in the Soviet Union; The goods of the Chinese Empire enjoyed special tariff preferences in the USSR; There is no restriction on the number of personnel of the Imperial Chinese Embassy and consulates in the Soviet Union; Merchant ships and civilian airliners of the Chinese Empire and the Soviet Union were free to enter and leave the ports and airports of both countries without restrictions.

These conditions are so harsh that it is not an exaggeration to say that they are unequal treaties. For example, one-sided most-favored-nation treatment. It was only the Chinese Empire that enjoyed the most-favored-nation status of the Soviet Union, but the Soviet Union did not enjoy the same most-favored-nation status of the Chinese Empire. In fact, the Soviet Union did not have an international ocean-going merchant fleet, and there were no large aircraft companies that flew internationally, so the Soviet Union's merchant ships and planes could not reach the Chinese Empire at all, while the Chinese Empire's international merchant fleet and international shipping companies could directly enter and exit the ports and airports of the Soviet Union. At the same time, the free movement of merchant ships and aircraft of the Chinese Empire into and out of Soviet ports and airports, coupled with the conditions of special tariff treatment for goods, posed a considerable threat to Soviet customs and national defense. The Soviet Union agreed to this clause because the Chinese Empire promised to send weapons and equipment to the Soviet Union through merchant ships and planes to avoid the surveillance of Western powers, but if the Chinese Empire and the Soviet Union suddenly became enemies, the Chinese Empire could send armed forces to the Soviet Union through this channel or support the armed forces in the Soviet Union, which were major hidden dangers for the Soviet Union's national defense.

The Soviet Union gritted its teeth and signed such an unequal treaty, because as far as the current situation of the Soviet Union is concerned, if it does not sign this treaty, the Soviet Union will not be able to restore its national economy at all, and it will not be able to talk about external expansion, and even when the Western powers restore their economic strength, the Soviet Union will not even have the ability to protect itself. Although the treaty was beneficial to the Chinese Empire, it was still cost-effective for the Soviet Union as a whole, with more gains than losses.

In this way, the Sino-Soviet trade agreement was signed. The Soviet Union immediately used the remaining reserves of gold and silver in the treasury to import the most urgently needed industrial equipment and technical support into the Chinese Empire.

At this time, the Soviet Union's gold reserves were less than 300 tons, and the silver reserves were less than 8,000 tons, all of which were obtained by the Soviet Red Army from the hands of the Russian nobility and bourgeoisie through bandit-like smashing, and it can be said that they were full of the blood and tears of the bourgeois nobles of Tsarist Russia.

The Soviet Union shipped the only gold and silver to the Chinese Empire, from which it brought back a large number of basic industrial equipment and a large number of experts and engineers from the Chinese Empire to help the Soviets assemble the equipment and put it into production as soon as possible.

The Chinese Empire exported industrial equipment and technical support to the Soviet Union, which was quite expensive than the cost, basically asking for a sky-high price, but the Soviet Union did not dare to sit on the ground and pay back, because this was the only equipment they could buy. For example, a 300-ton steel-binding equipment cost only 440,000 dragon coins in the Chinese Empire and 520,000 dragon coins internationally, but the Soviets went and cost 5.2 million gold rubles (1.3 million dragon coins) corresponding to gold and silver. A mechanical engineer with an ordinary bachelor's degree in the Chinese Empire, whose annual salary in China is only 80,000 dragon dollars, has a personal deposit of 300,000 dragon dollars after returning from a business trip to the Soviet Union, which is still the actual income after tax after deducting personal income tax, because the Soviet Union has paid this person's personal income tax to the Chinese Imperial Bureau of Industry and Commerce.

The gold and silver of the Soviet Union was simply not enough to procure all the equipment and technology needed, so the Soviet Union had to borrow money from the bankers of the Chinese Empire. Twenty-five banks in the Chinese Empire, including the Imperial Bank, the Royal Bank, the Commerce Bank, and the China Merchants Bank, formed a banking group and provided the Soviet Union with a large loan of 2 billion dragon coins with an annual interest rate of 4.5 percent. For this reason, these bankers of the Chinese Empire once again made a huge amount of money.

It can be said that the Soviet Union was slaughtered by the Chinese Empire, and it was extremely sad and sorrowful, and Yu cried without tears
