When the Central Committee of the Red Party in Yan'an was preparing to take advantage of this opportunity of Soviet-Japanese reconciliation and betrayal of China to carry out ideological unification internally, Dai Li, in Chongqing, also received the news of the Soviet-Japanese neutrality treaty, and he quickly reported it to Chiang Kai-shek. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

-- Chongqing

"Chairman of the National Committee, I have confirmed this news in many ways, and it is no longer a secret among the high-level people in Japan, it is said that this time the Soviet Union and Japan hit it off, and it will not even take a week from the beginning of negotiations to the formal signing!" Dai Lian patted his chest and told Jiang Intermediary the authenticity of his news.

Jiang Zhongchang sighed and said, "It's time to come, it's still coming, we have been in contact with the Soviet Union." It is hoped that the USSR will increase its support for us and even take a positive attitude in Manchuria ... Everything has come to naught, didn't Shao Lizi get any news? ”

Shao Lizi was the ambassador of the Nationalist Government to the Soviet Union at this time.

Dai Li snorted, "Chairman, this Shao Lizi was also a member of the Red Party back then, and now he probably doesn't know how to face the country!" ”

Jiang Zhong squinted his eyes and nodded, yes, this Soviet-Japanese reconciliation, who knows what Yan'an will do.

As early as when the Soviet Union and Germany signed a non-aggression pact, Reuters published an article saying that Japan and the Soviet Union were also negotiating a neutral treaty of mutual non-aggression. He also said that no matter what happens, the determination and attitude of the Soviet Union to support China's resistance against Japan will not change.

But now, the Soviet Union has recognized Manchukuo, and if it can recognize Manchukuo today, will it be able to recognize the Nanjing government tomorrow? Is it going to sever diplomatic relations with the Chongqing government the day after tomorrow? Is that going to be stopped? These are the things that Jiang intermediary is most concerned about.

Jiang intermediary immediately said to Chen Bui, who was next to Hou, "Bray, immediately ask Cui Kefu to come to see me, and send a telegram to Shao Lizi, first ask if there is really a treaty, if so, why not report to the central government, if not, also need to report quickly!" Also, if anything, ask the Soviet government why it did not coincide with the original promises! ”

Chuikov was the Soviet Union's military chief adviser in China at this time, and his status was extremely high in the hearts of the Chongqing government at this time. ”

Jiang Zhong looked at Chuikov and asked, "We have received a piece of news, I hope that General Chuikov can confirm the truth for us, it is said that the Soviet government and the Japanese have signed a neutrality treaty, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”

Chuikov shrugged and said, "I'm sorry, that's true, I'm about to relay our news to you, this is the text of our Soviet-Japanese Neutrality Treaty, but please understand, we have just received the news, and we have also received instructions from our government, since China and Japan have not declared war, this neutrality treaty will not interfere with our cooperation, and finally our aid materials will continue to arrive until all the materials reach the agreed amount." ”

Jiang intermediary was angry and happy in his heart, angry that the Soviet government really left China and signed a treaty with Japan, and the happy thing was that the Soviet aid materials would not be interrupted immediately, but obedient and listening, Jiang intermediary also heard what Cui kov meant, these materials are the last batch, and they are just to fulfill the agreement, and after all the agreed materials are sent, the Soviet Union will not give China any more help.

Jiang said with a smile on his face, "Okay, that's good, I understand the consideration of your government, and I also believe that the friendship between our two countries will not be affected by this, you have worked hard, you can go back." ”

Cui Kefu saluted and retreated from Jiang Mediation, and Chen Bui walked over and said, "Chairman of the Committee, the news is really true!" What are we going to do? ”

Jiang Zhong waved his hand and said, "The Soviet Union didn't tear our faces with us immediately, and we don't want to be bad guys, didn't Germany abandon us back then?" Now it's just a different person, the Soviet Union first attacked Poland with Germany, and now it has reconciled with Japan, I think they are getting closer and closer, or good, if the Soviets don't help us, we will go to their enemies, the British themselves are unreliable, but the Americans have already given us a lot of assistance, now it depends on their eyes, if we help us, we will have the strength to continue fighting, otherwise..."

Chen Bui nodded, knowing in his heart that the Nationalist Government did not have much military production capacity, and if there was really no external assistance, as long as there were a few major battles, the Chongqing government would not even be able to provide machine gun ammunition to the front line.

The news of the signing of the neutrality treaty between the Soviet Union and Japan immediately spread throughout Chongqing, and it has to be said that at times, the speed of information transmission by the Chongqing government was almost comparable to that of later generations in the information age.

That night, Jiang opened his notebook and wrote down the diary of the day with anger: "The Japanese are hateful! The USSR cannot be trusted! After all, we can't rely on others to resist Japan! Self-improvement! Self-encouragement!! ”

After writing, Director Jiang exhaled, only felt that his whole body was refreshed, and all his grievances were vented, he opened his eyes, closed the diary, picked up the phone, dialed a number and said, "Tomorrow the Standing Committee of the Central Committee will be held, and in addition, let the "Central Daily" prepare to publish an editorial on the signing of the neutrality treaty between the Soviet Union and Japan, I want to see it!" ”

On June 22, 1941, Wang Chonghui, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Chongqing Government, issued an official statement: "The joint declaration issued by the Soviet Union and Japan when they signed the Neutrality Pact stated that Japan respects the territorial integrity and inviolability of the so-called 'Mongolian People's Republic', and the Soviet Union respects the territorial integrity and inviolability of the so-called 'Manchukuo'. Needless to say, the four northeastern provinces and Outer Mongolia are part of the Republic of China and are the territory of the Republic of China, and the Chinese Government and people absolutely cannot recognize any agreement between a third country that impedes China's territorial and administrative integrity, and solemnly declares that the joint declaration promulgated by the Soviet Union and Japan is absolutely null and void for China. ”

On the same day, the "Central Daily" published an editorial: "The Soviet-Japanese agreement is a matter between the two countries, and we need no need to speculate or explain it, but Article 2 of the Sino-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact concluded in August 1937 clearly stipulates: 'If one of the two contracting parties is invaded by one or more third countries, the other contracting parties agree not to give any assistance, directly or indirectly, to the third country, and not to take any action or sign any agreement for the entire duration of the conflict. to the aggressor State against the State Party which has been invaded'. The Soviet Government and people not only sympathized with China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, but also provided moral encouragement and material assistance from time to time, and in accordance with the provisions of the Sino-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact, it seems that the Soviet Union should not conclude any agreement with the violent Japan before the war between China and Japan ended, which would have an adverse impact on China's War of Resistance. The fact that the Soviet-Japanese Agreement was established in China, which was on the way to resist Japan, and that the Soviet Union repeatedly declared its opposition to aggression, could not help but give the Chinese people a strange impression. ”

The entire Chongqing government was unexpectedly low-key in its arguments on this matter, almost defending the Soviet Union, and at this time most people did not care about the actions of the Chongqing government, but looked at Yan'an, after all, the Red Party in Yan'an was in the same system as the Soviet Union, what would they say about this matter.

To everyone's surprise, this time the Xinhua News Agency published an article that could be said to be extremely tough -- "The Red Party of China Expresses Its Opinions"

(1) The neutrality treaty signed by the Soviet Union and Japan this time was not a so-called helpless move, but a great reversal of history, and the significance of this treaty was, first, to relieve the pressure on the Soviet Union in the east and enable the Soviet Union to pay more attention to Europe. Second, it relieved the pressure of Japanese imperialism in the north, so that Japanese imperialism could unscrupulously mobilize the Kwantung Army in the puppet state of Manchukuo to invade China and even the Nanyang region. Europe is now telling us with facts. In doing so, the Soviet Union is harming the interests of other countries while guaranteeing its own interests, which is not beneficial to world peace.

(2) The Soviet Union and some people may think that the Soviet-Japanese Treaty has greatly enhanced the international status of the Soviet Union and made the Soviet Union increase its voice in both the East and the West, but in fact, both peace-loving people and war-loving fascist governments can only despise the Soviet Union even more, and a country that cannot uphold peace and justice will not be trusted by other countries, let alone advocated by Red Doctrine. From Poland to Finland, from the Soviet-German Non-Aggression Pact to the Soviet-Japanese Pact of Neutrality, we cannot understand why the Soviet Union did not insist on helping the invaded weak against the aggressor, as it had done to China in previous years, but gradually joined the aggressor.

(3) We must admit that in China's War of Resistance Against Japan, the Soviet Union helped China the most, and the hope of the Chinese people, as long as foreign aid is spoken, is first pinned on the Soviet Union, and although the Soviet Union did not restrict the Soviet Union from assisting China in an independent and just war of resistance against Japan, it must be noted that this treaty of the Soviet Union announced the recognition of the puppet Manchukuo and the puppet Mongolian People's Republic (that is, Outer Mongolia), according to Article 5 of the 1924 Sino-Russian Agreement on the Settlement of Outstanding Cases: " The Government of the Soviet Union recognized Outer Mongolia as part of the Republic of China and respected China's sovereignty over the territory. Therefore, the puppet Mongolian People's Republic (i.e., Outer Mongolia) should be a part of China, which is the highest interest of the Chinese nation and cannot be violated by anyone! The puppet state of Manchukuo (i.e., the four northeastern provinces) should be part of China, and this is the highest interest of the Chinese nation, and no one can infringe on it!

(4) We understand very well the reasons why the Soviet Union was forced to choose a policy of peace and neutrality under the current international situation, and at the same time, we also hope that the whole country will understand that according to the Soviet Union's principle of peace and neutrality, no matter whether or not it has signed a treaty with Japan, it will not attack Manchuria, and when it comes to the recovery of Northeast China, it is our own business, and we must not be like some speculators who always hope that the Soviet Union will fight with Japan in order to reap the benefits of the fishermen, and when he sees the Soviet Union's statement that it will not fight Manchuria, he thinks that the Soviet Union is wrong, and such a person is at least a guy with no ambition. We must recover all the lost territory in the whole country, we must fight to the Yalu River, and expel Japanese imperialism from China, which is the sacred cause of the entire Chinese nation, and the Red Soviet Union, as a just party, will certainly support us in this great cause.

5. After the Soviet-Japanese Treaty, China must adhere to the three major principles of resistance, unity, and progress. First, any vacillation in the war is not permitted. Secondly, the cooperation between the Red and White parties must continue, and separatist actions such as the disbandment of the New Fourth Army must ensure that such actions do not occur in the future. Third, all kinds of reactionary domestic policies must be stopped. Only by following this can the War of Resistance be victorious. If you do the opposite, you will rebel and die. We, the Red Party, are willing to unite with all the forces that support justice, no matter where they come from, because we firmly believe that only in this way can the liberation of the nation be achieved! The victory of the Anti-Japanese War can be expected!

The whole article can be described as a gun with a stick, ridiculed everywhere, not only criticized the Soviet Union's treaty from top to bottom, but also expressed doubts about whether the Soviet Red Party was still the real Red Party, which can be said to have surprised the whole world, no one expected that China's Red Party would publish such an article, this is almost a confrontation with the Red International and the Soviet Union, what qualifications does the Chinese Red Party have, what does it have to rely on the Soviet Union like this? Jiang Zheng looked at the Xinhua News Agency article and only felt that the sweat behind him was flowing out, what is this Red Party doing? I am still waiting for those Su Yuan to go to the pot, is this a counter-plot or a bitter meat scheme? Why can't I understand it?

Jiang Zhong looked to the north, and only felt that something seemed to have changed in Yan'an in the north, otherwise, how could it have changed so much in the Soviet Union.

In fact, this is because Jiang Intermediary is not in Yan'an, if Jiang Intermediary also listens to the study class in Yan'an at this time, you will find that Yan'an's tone has changed so much that it is simply unprepared.

-- Yan'an Conference Room

"This is really too urgent, why don't you discuss it with your comrades more when such an article is made public, and what will other people think if such an article goes out? What will the comrades think? What would the USSR and Moscow think? I think a telegram from Moscow is coming soon, O Chairman! This.. Can we retract this article? Zhang Wentian shook his head and said.

"It's true that there is something wrong with what the Soviet Union did this time, but after all, the Soviet Union and the Red International are our superiors, and we are subordinates who find that our superiors are wrong, so we can talk about it internally, so why be so intense." Wang Jiaxiang also expressed dissatisfaction. (To be continued.) )
