Russia, and now the USSR, have an incomparably strong ally: the cold!

Once, Napoleon attacked Russia with an army of 600,000 troops, all the way to victory, Russia was defeated in successive battles, and the Tsar did not dare to resist, so he burned Moscow and ran away. Soon after, the extremely cold weather made Napoleon understand what is called the wind of hell. Of the 600,000 troops, no more than 20,000 returned alive. The great French Empire fell, and Napoleon was never able to continue his glory. After Napoleon, Hitler was also hit by the cold weather of the Soviet Union...... It can be said that without the help of cold weather, the Soviet Union would probably not have won the Protectorate War. But there are no ifs in war. Regardless of whether they are called Russia or the Soviet Union, they all occupy two huge advantages, one is the incomparably vast strategic depth, and the other is the incomparably terrifying cold.

Outer Mongolia is not much warmer than Siberia.

Just like Qin Wei said to Zhou En, he had thought about sending an army to Outer Mongolia before, and took advantage of the war between Japan and the Soviet Union to determine the ownership of Outer Mongolia first. However, because of many factors such as distance and climate, as well as population, his plan could only be shelved again and again. In particular, the climate is the biggest challenge. Fighting the Soviets in the Siberian winter was a nightmare, but even without the Soviets, the cold would have been a nightmare for countless people.

If the CCP considers and approves his proposal, then how to deal with the winter in the north is a difficult problem that they will not be able to overcome.

Qin Wei didn't have much to do about it. This can only be solved by the CCP itself. And as long as it can withstand the weather there, the CCP will usher in a huge opportunity!

……

"Everyone only sees the difficulties and harms of moving to Outer Mongolia, but they don't see the huge benefits that we may get after moving there!"

Yan'an caves.

After Mao Zedong listened to the speeches of the leaders of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, he also held the big enamel jar and said loudly in his own exclusive Hunan dialect:

"Money!"

"As long as we can enter Outer Mongolia legally and reasonably, then we can easily obtain a lot of resources from Outer Mongolia...... Although because of distance and transportation, etc. These resources can play a very useful role in our development, but let's not forget that there is one resource that is extremely useful even if it is far away and the environment is poor. ”

"Chairman, you say it's a gold mine there?" Ren Bishi was one of the people who knew the top-secret information in Outer Mongolia, and with a little brain, he felt that he had thought of what Mao Zedong was referring to.

"That's right. It's a gold mine! Mao Zedong laughed, "Our Communist Party is poor!" In the words of the common people, it is 'poor and clanging'! Didn't the Southern Bureau led by Comrade Enlai also say something about the suggestions to the Central Committee? Once we decide to enter Outer Mongolia on a large scale, then. The big gold mines in Outer Mongolia must be in our hands. ”

"Of course, it would be good if we could get our hands on the gold mine, which is more real for us than any oil field or copper ore thing." Zhu De groaned, "But Runzhi, have you thought about it?" Even if we are willing to go to Outer Mongolia, then Outer Mongolia's Choibalshan. And what will the Soviet side think? ”

"The Soviets have all been beaten to the west of the Urals!" Mao Zedong smiled and waved his hand. Quite a little proud. He really didn't know much about the boundary between Asia and Europe before, and he was even more blind about the geography of Siberia. And he also believes that almost everyone in the room is similar to him. But now he found that his horizons were broader. Not just geography, but many other aspects of things. He knew what it was because of Lang...... Book! Those books sent by Qin Wei! From politics to geography, from history to customs, from economics to industry. Several large boxes, almost everything. And the book "The Rise of a Great Power" made him love it even more...... He didn't know how much hard work and sweat of those experts in later generations was contained in this book, and he didn't know that at the beginning of the 21st century, the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee had collectively studied what was told in this book. He only knows the way. This book gave him a new experience that he had never had before. Every time he watched it, he felt that he had something new, and every time he watched it, he seemed to be able to grasp the context of the current world more clearly. Even, he expressed his heartfelt thanks to Qin Wei in his reading notes for this purpose.

"Although it was defeated, the vast majority of the Soviet Union's strength was not lost, and the west of the Ural Mountains was the most important territory for the people." Zhu De gave Mao Zedong a small blank look. As far as you know, who hasn't read two books during this time? "And in Siberia, in Irkutsk, Timoshenko is still there! An army of more than 200,000 is not a small number. Judging from its equipment alone, it is enough to surpass our million-strong army in China. ”

"That's why we want to go to Outer Mongolia, we are a natural ally with the Soviet Union, we used to be under its leadership, and now we have a common enemy, Japan," Mao Zedong said with a smile: "Therefore, it is also appropriate to support our comrades-in-arms." Although our strength is a little meager, we can 'send goose feathers thousands of miles, and the courtesy is light and affectionate'! No matter how domineering and vicious he Stalin is, he still has to accept our favor! ”

"The gold mine that the chairman just said reminds me of something." Chen Yun suddenly burst out.

"What do you remember?" Zhang Wentian and Wang Jiaxiang have been trying hard to think about the advantages and disadvantages of moving, but they usually pay more attention to theory, and compared with Mao Zedong and Zhu De, they are much slower to respond to practical matters, and they have never been able to think of anything that everyone has not thought of or has not considered. Therefore, when he heard that Chen Yun seemed to have something new to come out, he immediately couldn't help but ask.

"Industry, agriculture!" Chen Yun grinned and said with a smile: "The chairman just said that Outer Mongolia is rich in resources, and there are huge gold mines...... This made me think: How do you think we should exchange gold for some industrial and agricultural facilities with the Soviet Union, and then develop Outer Mongolia into a huge industrial and agricultural logistics base for our Communist Party of China? ”

"This idea is interesting, if there are any details, let's talk about it!" Mao Zedong's eyes lit up and he hurriedly said.

"I haven't thought too much about the details, it's just the exchange of resources...... Of course, with the current situation, the object we can exchange for is probably the Soviet Union, and what the Soviet Union can ask for is probably the gold of Mongolia. Chen Yun was encouraged, and he was a little energetic, "But don't forget, Outer Mongolia is not just gold. If we can exchange gold for more things, such as industrial equipment, then can we build some factories or something, relying on the resources of Outer Mongolia? I don't dare to say anything else, it shouldn't be difficult to get a slightly decent arsenal, a few small power plants, machinery factories, farm tool factories or something, right? ”

"Wow-" Before everyone could react, Mao Zedong's slap slapped the table, "That's a good idea!" Although the current situation in Outer Mongolia looked a little dangerous, with the Japanese to the north and east, they had evacuated almost the entire rear in order to support the Sakagaki Seishiro Corps in Western Siberia. It seems to be dangerous, but as long as we go, it is basically safe as Mount Tai! As long as we hold the junction of the Sayan Mountains and the Ablonov Mountains, and the Khingan Mountains to block the enemy in the northeast, we have a safe base from which to develop. And this base is also rich in resources...... Well, I remember that farming was already practiced there during the Qing Dynasty, right? That means that there is not only grazing, but also farming...... What a place! Why don't we go? Why would you give up such a great opportunity? ”

"Chairman, Comrade Chen Yun's idea is very good, and I am also extremely moved. Isn't it true that our Communist Party has no money and no foundation for industry and agriculture? If, like Chiang Kai-shek, he could have had a solid rear that could provide a lot of logistical support, how could we have ended up where we are today? Maybe the whole of China will be unified long ago. But after all, this is not from Jiangxi to northern Shaanxi, no matter where we go, we are still in the Chinese place......"

"I said, Comrade Luo Fu, there is a problem with your statement, isn't Outer Mongolia Chinese?"

Mao Zedong caught Zhang Wentian's language and immediately launched a rebuttal, of course, this refutation is mostly a joke. Because those who can hold meetings here have reached consensus in many aspects, and there will never be a real comrade, Wang Ming's kind of character.

"Outer Mongolia, of course, is Chinese. However, there is no big difference between making a revolution in Jiangxi and Shaanxi, but what if we put it in Qinghai and Tibet? Zhang Wentian tapped the table with his finger, "We admit that the Han, Manchu, and Mongolian return to Tibet, and there are other ethnic minorities who are Chinese, but we cannot deny the fact that the largest ethnic group in China is the Han Chinese." Han talents are the mass foundation of the revolution of the Communist Party of China! When we arrived in Outer Mongolia, were there so many Han Chinese? Will the people of North China, Central China, South China, East China, and so on regard us as a local government or a local government of ethnic minorities in the days to come? What's more, we have also read the reports of Chen Yi and Ye Ting, the New Fourth Army arrived in Dabie Mountain, but the common people there were unwilling to cooperate with them at the beginning, where the Red Army was active and established a revolutionary base area. For what? Because we left them and left them to the White Army! So, if we leave again this time, what will happen to the masses in northern Shaanxi? Leave them again? Can Chiang Kai-shek and Hu Zongnan spare them? ”

"Comrade Luo Fu's concern is indeed our biggest problem at present." Ren Bishi pursed his lips, "It's a big problem." ”

"What's the problem? If we want the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China to leave Yan'an and leave northern Shaanxi, he Chiang Kai-shek must do things well first! Mao Zedong snorted coldly and pressed his big hand on the table: "There must always be someone to fight against the Japanese Kwantung Army, right?" We must not only send troops in various places, but also take away all the ordinary people who are willing to go with us in the whole of northern Shaanxi! If he Chiang Kai-shek can do this, we will agree, if he can't do this, we will be stuck in northern Shaanxi and will not move! I'll see how he chooses! (To be continued......)
