Chapter 606 Layout of Outer Mongolia
As a geographical term, "Mongolia" is a complex region that has undergone several changes in history. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoIn relation to Inner Mongolia, "Outer Mongolia" refers to the northern part of the Mongolian Plateau, which includes the entire territory of the present-day Mongolian People's Republic, as well as the Tangnu-Ulianghai region in Russia, the area near Lake Baikal and the Ergun River, and the Kobdo region in northeastern Kazakhstan. This vast area of more than 1.5 million square kilometers was once Chinese territory.
In 1660, the Dzungar tribe of Moxi Mongolia attacked Outer Mongolia under the leadership of Galdan, and the religious leader of the Outer Mongolia region, Kulun Living Buddha Jebtsundamba, decided to join the Qing Dynasty. In fact, at that time, he could still choose to rely on the strength of Tsarist Russia, but the living Buddha Kulun obviously did not like the Russians, he said: "Russia has a different religion, and it is necessary to regard me as an outlier, and it is better to go to the land of China to promote the Yellow Religion." Thus, in the first secret battle between China and Russia for Outer Mongolia, the tsar was depressedly defeated.
However, the cannon fire of the Xinhai year of the lunar calendar put an end to all this. The Qing Empire collapsed, and the tsar once again remembered the fat piece of Outer Mongolia. At the end of 1911, Tsarist Russia instigated the living Buddhas and princes of Outer Mongolia to declare independence, and the army surrounded the Mongolian minister Yamen in Kulen, and the Chinese officials were expelled. In 1913, Yuan Shikai's Beiyang government signed the Sino-Russian Declaration with the Tsarist Russian authorities, stipulating that China and Russia recognized the autonomy of Outer Mongolia and that China was not allowed to station officials, troops, or emigrates in Outer Mongolia. Outer Mongolia is called "autonomous", but it is actually under the control of Tsarist forces. In the second dark war, China lost.
However, the situation was soon reversed. In 1917, the October Revolution overthrew the Russian emperor with a cannon shot. The new government announced the abrogation of the unequal treaty signed between Tsarist Russia and China, but on the question of Outer Mongolia, Soviet Russia declared: "Outer Mongolia is a free country. This means that Outer Mongolia should still be independent.
This was a bad sign for the Outer Mongolian authorities, who hurriedly called Beijing to say that they would not want "autonomy" and demanded that the old system be restored. Because Outer Mongolia's "autonomy" has always relied on Tsarist Russian assistance, the Russians suddenly let it go, and the Outer Mongolian authorities were unable to maintain stability.
At this time, The President of the Republic of China Xu Shichang happily issued an order to abolish the autonomy of Outer Mongolia, abolish the 1913 Sino-Russian Declaration and the 1915 Sino-Russian-Mongolian Entente, and take Outer Mongolia back. In November 1919, the "Northwest Frontier Envoy Office of the Republic of China" was established in Kulen, and Xu Shuzheng led troops to garrison Outer Mongolia. Sun Yat-sen sent a telegram to celebrate: "Xu (Shu Zheng) took back Mongolia, and his merits are better than Fu Jiezi and Chen Tang, and public opinion is indispensable!" ā
The good times did not last long, and within a few months, Duan Qirui's government stepped down, Xu Shuzheng was wanted, Chinese troops withdrew from Kulen, and the situation in Outer Mongolia fell into turmoil again. On March 19, 1921, Suhebaatar and Choibalshan, who were herders, led the Mongolian People's Party to form the "Provisional People's Government of Mongolia", declared independence, and waged a fierce battle with the upper echelons of Mongolian princes. In order to win, the Provisional Government turned to the Soviet Union for help, and in May, the Soviet Red Army entered the war in Mongolia, and in July occupied Kulen, forcing the Mongol princes and the Mongolian People's Party to jointly establish the "Mongolian People's Revolutionary Government".
The Chinese government does not recognize the "independence" of Outer Mongolia, but the warlords at home are fighting each other, and no one cares about the border and territorial issues. When the Anti-Japanese War broke out, most of China was in dire straits, and the number one aggressor in the whole country was Japan, and Outer Mongolia became a "forgotten" land. From the twenties to the forties of the last century, Outer Mongolia became a de facto satellite state of the Soviet Union.
After the October Revolution, many Kazakhs, Buryat Mongols, and Tatars fled from Soviet Russia into Mongolia, and Stalin held a grudge against these people, believing that they were "running away from the revolution", which was also another "*** crime", and he ordered Choibalsan to purge them. 2,000 of Mongolia's 21,000 Kazakhs have been exterminated, only four of the 140 Tatars remain, and few Han and Mongolian people from Inner Mongolia, China, including members of the Inner Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party, have survived.
In the "beautiful land of Mongolia", independent-minded intellectuals were swept away, prominent figures in the party, government, military, and religious circles were slaughtered, traditional culture was devastated, and the economy was completely controlled by the Soviet Union.
Before, due to the weakness of the team, Meng Qingshan couldn't take care of himself, where could he manage the rest, but his heart has always been worried about recovering the country, so when Vice Chairman Zhou came to the Northeast, Meng Qingshan deliberately talked deeply with Vice Chairman Zhou about the issue of Outer Mongolia, and his attitude was very clear, autonomy can be independent! Every inch of the land left to us by our ancestors condenses the history of the struggle of the Chinese nation, inspiring us to defend her with blood and life, at that time Vice Chairman Zhou did not agree or object, but not long ago, a top-secret telegram was sent from Yan'an, and the internal use of the message was two words: "Approval." ā
In the Soviet-German war, all the big cities in the Soviet Union were hit by the German army, that is, the Far Eastern Military District was far from being found, and the Soviet-German war was not a small fight in the country, we can have eight infantry guns is very powerful, people are heavy artillery gathered dozens or hundreds of guns, we are counting shells, and the people are counting the shells, and the ones that are beaten are calculated by the hour, and the cities are in ruins after the war, even if the country is developing, it will take years or more time to recover, However, it took a short time for the Soviet Union to recover its national strength and economy, and what it relied on was the resources it regained from the three northeastern provinces.
According to historical records, by 1945, the industrial scale of Tohoku surpassed that of Japan, and the economy of Manchuria was the largest in Asia. From Shenyang to Dalian, there are many factory chimneys on both sides of the Shenyang-Dalian line, and the city is connected together, becoming a world-famous "long industrial zone", and Shenyang Tiexi District is known as the "Oriental Ruhr". In 1931, the proportion of total industrial output in the total industrial and agricultural output increased from 26.9% to 59.3%, while in 2003 China only reached 57.5%. In 1938, the puppet state of Manchukuo generated a total of 1.63 billion kWh, and there was the first large amount of hydropower in Asia, in 1943, the Fengman Hydropower Station began to generate electricity, with a power generation capacity of 2.2 billion kWh per year, and in 1949, the entire China generated only 4.3 billion kWh. In 1943, Northeast China, accounting for one-ninth of China's land and one-tenth of its population, produced 49.4% of China's coal, 87.7% of pig iron, 93% of steel, 93.3% of electricity, 69% of sulfuric acid, 60% of soda ash, 66% of cement, and 95% of machinery. In 1945, China's total industrial output accounted for 85 percent in Northeast China, 10 percent in Taiwan, and only 5 percent in the rest of China, which was "poor and white" in continuous civil war.
And the Soviet Union in Japan Kwantung Army in the Pacific theater was completely cleaned up by the Americans (the Americans themselves do not know, due to the lag of intelligence, the United States has always been very worried that it is said that it still exists in Northeast China has actually become an empty shell of the Kwantung Army, and the Soviet Union, which is close to the water, has taken advantage of the situation to enter the Northeast. When leaving, not only did they force the Kuomintang to recognize the independence of Outer Mongolia (in fact, to this day, Outer Mongolia is still an independent country and has nothing to do with China), but from September 1945 to May 1946, the Soviet army dismantled and transported most of the factories, mines, power stations and other materials in Northeast China back to China, and the trains were non-stop day and night for seven months, even the office furniture of the Changchun Municipal Government. It took 40 days to dismantle and transport the magnificent Anshan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd., and 60 trucks were shipped. Before November 15, 1945, 200 trucks were going to the Soviet Union every day from Shenyang alone, and by the beginning of 1946, more than 90% of the factories in Shenyang were empty shells, and even the doors and windows were removed. A total of 75% of the locomotives and 93% of the freight cars of the Northeast Railway were robbed, and the Northeast concentrated most of China's railway materials and almost all the world's advanced transportation vehicles at that time. Even so, the economy of Northeast China is still the highest in China.
Meng Qingshan knows very well in his heart that the Soviet Union and Japan are not good things, if Japan is a bandit, the Soviet Union is the ancestor of the bandits, and has always been fighting with the Kwantung Army while never forgetting to stumble on the Soviet Union, although the Japanese believe it or not is their business, whether to do it or not is Meng Qingshan's own business, for his own thoughts, Meng Qingshan has been holding back in his heart, I don't know how to tell the people, because the predecessor of the Anti-Japanese Federation relied on the help of Big Brother, and many Anti-Japanese generals and soldiers were very pro-Soviet, For this reason, Meng Qingshan can only slowly change everyone's concept step by step, he has been waiting for an opportunity in his heart, this opportunity is the battle between Germany and the Soviet Union, once the battle between Germany and the Soviet Union starts, the Soviet Union's eyes and troops will all be turned to the West instead of staring at the East, otherwise Meng Qingshan's small actions let the Soviet Union know that it can kill the Anti-Japanese Federation in minutes, so Meng Qingshan has always been a good baby, inventing weapons for Big Brother, free information for Big Brother, and having high prices to buy food and materials .......
Now the Anti-Japanese Federation has gradually developed and grown, and the base area and the scope of activities have also expanded a lot, but the soldiers are very recruited, and most of the areas where the Anti-United Nations activities are sparsely populated, even if Meng Qingshan relies on immigration, there are few people, if you want the army to continue to develop, you have to need a lot of soldiers, so Meng Qingshan on the one hand implements the plan of breaking the whole into zero, so that the troops gradually infiltrate the core area ruled by the Japanese army, and on the other hand, he is eyeing Outer Mongolia, Meng Qingshan knows that the old guy in Qiaobalshan in Outer Mongolia is engaged in a purge policy, and the domestic chickens and dogs are restless. If it weren't for the suppression of the Soviet garrison, whether he could live is a question, now that the Soviet-German war started, most of the Soviet Union's troops were transferred to the northwest front to defend Moscow, Meng Qingshan knew that the opportunity had come, Choibalshan set up a concentration camp, and the camp held a lot of Mongolian compatriots and some Han and Mongolian ethnic groups who moved over from Inner Mongolia, as well as some lamas, as long as they were rescued, it would be very good whether it was the replenishment of the anti-coalition forces or the recovery of Outer Mongolia in the future, and secondly, it could also cause him some small damage, This is what Meng Qingshan is very willing to do, so Meng Qingshan sent Zhang Facai's cavalry division, and also let Liang Xingchu's 31st Division meet them on the periphery.
