Chapter 735: The Secret Covenant between China and the Soviet Union (34th Update)

"Comrade Trotsky, something is wrong. The Chinese army is attacking from the Ural and Tsaritsyn, respectively. Our troops are retreating. Blyukhel reported to Trotsky.

"What? Did the Chinese really attack? What should I do? Trotsky snatched himself from the couch with a thud.

"Order the troops on the front line, continue to retreat, and do not exchange fire with the Chinese. I immediately went to the Kremlin and reported to Comrade Chairman. Trotsky said. The order that the Russian Red Army should not open fire was to avoid aggravating the contradictions. If a fierce battle breaks out between the two sides again, the scale of the war will definitely expand further. When the time comes, it is highly likely to turn into a large-scale war.

"Yes, Comrade Trotsky." Blyukhel nodded, and immediately went to telegraph.

Trotsky hurried downstairs, got into a car and left the Military Council for the Kremlin to meet Ulyanov. He knew that the conflict between Soviet Russia and the Chinese Empire could no longer be resolved by force. Otherwise, it will only make Soviet Russia pay a heavier price.

When Trotsky rushed to the Kremlin, Ulyanov's office, Stalin was reporting to work.

"Comrade Trotsky, what's the matter?" When Ulyanov saw Trotsky hurrying to his arrival, he immediately realized that something bad seemed to have happened.

"Comrade President, the Chinese* army has crossed the demarcation line and is beginning to march on our territory. I am afraid that the army they put into it is more than half a million people. Trotsky said with a grim face.

"What? Did the Chinese really do it? Aren't they afraid of another outbreak of war? Stalin exclaimed.

Ulyanov pondered for a few seconds, and then said: "In any case, to avoid further deterioration of the situation." Since the Chinese are real, send a telegram to Comrade Yue Fei. Let him accept the conditions of the Chinese. ”

"Yes, Comrade Chairman." Stalin nodded. People have to bow their heads under the roof, and this is what the current Soviet Russia is facing.

Originally, the Soviet and Russian sides also wanted to test it to see if the Chinese Empire was bluffing. But now it seems that the Chinese Empire really did not hesitate to go to war with Soviet Russia. In such a situation. Did the Russian government have any other option than to accept the conditions put forward by the Chinese Empire?

"Yue Fei, the special envoy of the Soviet Russian government to the Chinese Empire in Yanjing, has been guarding the telegraph room, waiting for domestic orders. He was ready, and as soon as the order from home was issued, he immediately went to the Imperial Foreign Office to announce that the Russian government had accepted the conditions of the Empire.

Of course, it would be best if you could avoid receiving such an order. Such an order undoubtedly indicates. The army of the Chinese Empire took action, and the Russian government had to compromise.

At 10 a.m., a telegram from Moscow reached Yue Fei. Yue Fei sighed and immediately instructed the secretary to prepare the car, and he was going to the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Chinese Empire is now getting stronger and stronger, and as soon as the stipulated deadline arrives, it will not give Soviet Russia time to react at all, and will directly use force. This strong attitude. It was very unacceptable to Soviet Russia.

When I arrived at the Chinese Foreign Ministry, it was already half past ten in the morning. Yue Fei went straight to the office of Imperial Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi. And Tang Shaoyi. It seems that Yue Fei will come for a long time. So, he deliberately put down his morning work and waited for him here.

"Hello, Your Excellency the Special Envoy, you are finally here. However, it seems to be more than I expected. It's going to come a little later. Tang Shaoyi had a smile on his face, as if everything was under his control.

"Your Excellency Foreign Minister, the Government of Soviet Russia protests against the brazen invasion of Soviet Russia by your army, and we hope that the Chinese army will immediately stop this invasion and retreat to the demarcation line." Yue Fei protested angrily.

"Your Excellency, Special Envoy. What I want to ask is, can the Soviet government agree to the conditions before the empire? Tang Shaoyi smiled.

"Your Excellency the Foreign Minister, the Russian government really has no money. Therefore, we hope that the Chinese Empire will appropriately lower its demand for compensation. Yue Fei immediately began to cry poor.

However, Tang Shaoyi was not fooled at all: "Your Excellency, if this is your reply, then you can ask for it back." Let's make the final decision by means of war. ”

"No, no. Your Excellency the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. Well, you won, and we're accepting your terms. Yue Fei gritted his teeth and said.

Tang Shaoyi couldn't help laughing: "Your Excellency, I have to regret to tell you, why did you go earlier?" Why do you have to challenge the bottom line of the empire? Because your reply has exceeded the time limit set by the Empire. Therefore, those conditions proposed by the previous empire must be added. That is, Soviet Russia had to give up the Crimean Peninsula and transfer the Crimean Peninsula to the Chinese Empire. ”

"What? Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, you are backsliding, and you have to make every inch! Yue Fei jumped up all of a sudden, he looked at Tang Shaoyi viciously, and wanted to rush up and beat Tang Shaoyi violently.

"It's none of our business. We have already reminded you that you will need to respond within three days, regardless of whether you agree or reject the Empire's conditions. However, instead of replying within three days, you have exceeded the deadline. In order to punish you, the Empire will simply add new conditions. Of course, you can also refuse. Then I have to inform you that the negotiations between our two countries will end in failure. Tang Shaoyi said with a smile.

"Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, this is clearly you taking advantage of the fire to rob!" Yue Fei was very angry.

"Your Excellency, I have to remind you that the Imperial Army's march will not cease while we make contact. Therefore, I advise you to get in touch with China as soon as possible. Otherwise, it may be too late. Tang Shaoyi said.

"Humph!" Yue Fei snorted coldly and left quickly. He was really afraid, for fear that a major war would break out between the Chinese Empire and Soviet Russia during this period of time. In that case, the Chinese will definitely put forward more demanding conditions.

Looking at the back of Yue Fei leaving in a hurry, Tang Shaoyi couldn't help laughing: "These red-haired people are really cheap." The empire had been kind enough to talk to them before, but they thought the empire was easy to bully. Now, the empire has hardened, and they finally know that the empire is not easy to mess with. ”

Immediately after returning to the representative office, Yue Fei sent a telegram to the country, reporting to the Central Committee of the Bolshevik Party the new demands of the Chinese Empire. Ulyanov and others, who were waiting for news, could not help but curse the Chinese for their shamelessness after receiving the telegram.

The importance of the Crimean peninsula goes without saying. If the Crimean peninsula were ceded to the Chinese, then Soviet Russia would completely lose the entire Black Sea. This made it undoubtedly very difficult for Soviet Russia to counterattack the Chinese Empire in the future.

However, if the Russian government did not agree to the conditions of the Chinese Empire, then the armies of the Chinese Empire would continue to attack. In the end, it was Soviet Russia that caused the losses. Even, perhaps, the Chinese Empire will put forward even harsher conditions at that time.

Who put Soviet Russia at a complete disadvantage in the confrontation with the Chinese Empire? Therefore, he can only be bullied by the Chinese Empire again and again.

"Promise the Chinese terms and give them the Crimean peninsula! There can be no more excuses for them to come up with new conditions. Ulyanov said through gritted teeth.

The other political commissars also knew that there was no way around it. If it still doesn't agree, maybe the Chinese Empire will take the opportunity to make more demands. In the end, it was Soviet Russia that was unlucky.

Faced with the advance of the Chinese Empire, Soviet Russia had no choice but to submit.

After receiving the telegram from China, Yue Fei went to the Imperial Foreign Office again.

"Your Excellency Foreign Minister, the Russian government has decided to agree to your terms, and you have won. We hope that your troops will be able to withdraw immediately. Yue Fei said hatefully.

"Of course there is no problem. This is a secret agreement that we have drawn up, and if there are no problems, we can sign it. Tang Shaoyi said with a smile. They were sure that the Russians would definitely give in, so they were ready for a long time.

Yue Fei picked up the secret agreement and read it carefully. The content of the secret agreement is very short, and in fact it only stipulates the obligations of both parties.

According to the secret treaty, Soviet Russia was to give up the territories south of the Don and Volga rivers, including Tsaritsyn, and the Crimean peninsula. The border between China and the Soviet Union is bounded by the Ural Mountains, the Urals, the Volga and the Don Rivers. In addition, the Russian government paid a thousand tons of gold to the Chinese Empire within a month. It was not until the Chinese Empire received the gold that the Secret Treaty came into effect. After the signing of the secret treaty, the Chinese* troops were to withdraw from the territory of Soviet Russia. Similarly, both Russia and the Chinese Empire had to pledge not to invade each other's territory for the next decade.

"Ten years? Why Ten Years? Yue Fei asked.

"Ten years is a long time. Ten years from now, maybe the whole world will be different. If we think that the contract can be renewed, then we can sign an extended agreement. Tang Shaoyi said.

At the current rate of development of the Empire, in ten years, the Empire should have developed into the world's top power. If you want to destroy Soviet Russia, it may not be very difficult. Therefore, the hope of the empire and Soviet Russia signed a ten-year peace treaty.

After Yue Fei asked for instructions in China, he signed his name on the secret agreement. The Russian government also believes that ten years is not a short time. Ten years later, even if Soviet Russia is not good, it should have the power to protect itself. (To be continued.) )
