Chapter 603: The Moscow Treaty and Person No. 2 (Asking for Subscriptions, Monthly Passes, and Various!! )
On July 31, China and the Soviet Union signed an agreement in Moscow to reach a final agreement on the territorial dispute between the two countries, according to which the Soviet Union would formally return all the inherent territories occupied by Tsarist Russia in accordance with Lenin's will, and the territories that were formerly part of China's vassal states would be divided equally between the two sides, as follows:
1. China owns about 250,000 square kilometers of land west of the Khing'an Mountains and the Erguna River, and the Soviet Union agrees to return it, but the Chinese Government shall guarantee the interests of the Soviet people in the area, guarantee their right to exist, and shall not arbitrarily deprive them of their lives and reasonable private property, and may agree to their naturalization as Chinese nationality when necessary, during which all the taxes of all cities will be transferred to the Chinese side.
2. China owns about 100,000 square kilometers of land south and southwest of Lake Baikal, which the Soviet Union agreed to return, but according to the relevant provisions of the Kyakhta Treaty between Russia and the Qing Dynasty, Lake Baikal belongs to the Soviet Union.
3. China has ownership of Sakhalin Island at the mouth of the Heilongjiang River, and the Soviet Union agreed to return it, but in view of the fact that Sakhalin Island played a major role in the defense of the Soviet Union, the two sides agreed to temporarily borrow it from the Soviet Union and return it immediately after the end of the war.
4. China owns about 430,000 square kilometers of land near Lake Xingkai east of the Tongtong River and the Ussuri River, and the Soviet Union agrees to return it, but in view of the fact that the port of Vladivostok is the most important naval base of the Soviet Far East Fleet, and now the Soviet Union is engaged in a national patriotic war, the Soviet side requests the Chinese side to lend this port and three large cities around it to the Soviet side, and the Soviet side will return it immediately after the war, and all the taxes of all cities will be handed over to the Chinese side during this period.
China has owned since the sand-stained Dabaha. The Soviet Union agreed to return the ownership of about 430,000 square kilometers of land up to the Green Ridge.
China owned a vast area of about 460,000 square kilometers west of the Tongjiang River, north of the Heilongjiang River, and south of the Trans-Khingan Mountains, which the Soviet Union agreed to return.
China owned the ownership of about 20,000 square kilometers of land from the Yin of the Tianshan Mountains southwest of Ili, the Namahalek Pass to the northwestern Khalda of Ili, and the Soviet Union agreed to return it.
China owns about 20,000 square kilometers of land near the Irtysh River and Jaisangbo, which the Soviet Union agreed to return.
China owns the Pamir region in the extreme west of Xinjiang Province. Ownership of about 10,000 square kilometers of land. The USSR agreed to return.
About 2.5 million square kilometers of land in the Kazakh Khanate, Brut Khanate, Bukhar Khanate, and Kokand were originally part of China, and the two sides agreed to jointly survey the boundary in two months.
The Soviet Union once again stated that it would completely abandon all its interests in China and abolish all unequal treaties. and agreed to search for and return some of the antiquities looted from China.
It starts in the second month after the agreement is signed. The Soviet side will take three months to evacuate the inhabitants of the former Soviet territory west of Siberia. Handed over to the Chinese Nationalist Government, the territory east of Siberia will be transferred to the Chinese Eighth Theater of Operations in due course.
The Nationalist Government shall not discriminate against or discriminate against Soviet nationals who are willing to remain on the land assigned to China. It is also forbidden to arbitrarily confiscate their property and deprive them of their lives.
When the news came, the world was shocked, no one would have thought that such a big country as the Soviet Union would take the initiative to give up nearly 2.7 million square kilometers of land area, and at the same time agree to return those treasures plundered from the Chinese royal family, this world world is really crazy.
The Slavic people's greed for land is rare among all the nations in the world, they would rather lose the treasure and gold, than lose their land, and in the past hundreds of thousands of years, the Slavic nation has always been expanding and expanding, they have expanded from the Atlantic Ocean and the Arctic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean, during which countless countries have been destroyed, and I have not seen the Slavic nation bow to anyone, I did not expect that this time it would publicly announce the return of Chinese territory, and the area is still so huge.
Of course, no one knows that there is a secret agreement between the two sides in addition to this agreement. According to the secret agreement, China and the Soviet Union formally formed a military offensive and defensive alliance to jointly respond to the attack from the German-Japanese alliance. On the date of signing the agreement, Chen Feng, China's No. 2 person, should provide the Soviet Union with no less than 50 standard infantry divisions within three months, in addition to providing the Soviet Union with no less than 500 light and heavy tanks, and within one year provide the Soviet Union with no less than 200 standard divisions of weapons and equipment, no less than 1,500 tanks and no less than 5,000 artillery pieces.
However, these arms are not given in vain, although the price is of course not as high as in the market, but there are also 6 layers of the market price, which is still Chen Feng saw that on the basis of the Soviet Union's better attitude, he deliberately lowered 2 layers, otherwise he would need 8 layers of the market price.
The impact of the Sino-Soviet "Moscow Treaty" was huge and far-reaching, and after the signing of the treaty, it quickly aroused great repercussions in China and the world.
Both the KMT and the CCP commented positively on this incident, calling it a major victory for China's diplomacy. However, the Japanese government and the Wang puppet regime in Nanking spoke sourly, saying that the Chiang regime had won a superficial "victory" at the cost of being a lackey.
The British did not agree with the Soviets' approach, because the Soviet government did this, but Britain and France could not step down, after all, Britain still occupied a lot of land in China. They all occupy huge territories in southern Tibet, northern Burma, and Hong Kong, and secondly, the British also have a large number of leases in Shanghai, Nanjing, and Beiping, and with the Soviets' "self-assertions," Britain and France must be cautious in dealing with these places, otherwise they are likely to arouse the dissatisfaction of the Chinese government.
If it is said that in the past, they would not have cared about the views of the Chinese government at all, and only needed to open the fleet to China's sea and various ports, who would dare to say a word.
But now the form is different, in Europe with the Germans pressing forward step by step, and in Asia there are the Japanese eyeing each other, and these two powerful enemies are showing their threatening fangs, and it is not worth offending China, a powerful ally, at this time. Moreover, the performance of the Chinese Army on the battlefield is not bad now, at least it is much stronger than the French Army, which lost the pants in World War I.
No matter what those people in Western countries think, it is undeniable that Lao Jiang is on fire, because Chen Feng's role is mainly reflected in the secret agreement, and only slightly mentions the Eighth War Zone in the public treaty, and there is not a word about Chen Feng from beginning to end, so all the people think that this thing was done by the government, and for a time Lao Jiang's personal king reached its peak, and he has surpassed Chen Feng in a short period of time.
But with such a huge credit, Lao Jiang didn't dare to swallow it alone, after this incident, Lao Jiang had a deeper understanding of Chen Feng's ability. Even a big country like the Soviet Union had to bow its head in front of Chen Feng, and as the leader of a country, it was not difficult to see with Lao Chiang's political wisdom that Chen Feng's strength had far exceeded his expectations.
Chen Feng gave him benefits, so he couldn't let Chen Feng not even touch a little oil and water, so in addition to the white 10,000 square kilometers of land east of Siberia being handed over to the Eighth War Zone. After Lao Jiang promoted Chen Feng to vice chairman of the Military Committee of the National Revolutionary Army, he nominated Chen Feng as vice president of the Kuomintang/Kuomintang and the second person in the party, so that Chen Feng really became the second person in the party army of the Nationalist Government.
If you follow this order, once something happens to Lao Jiang, it will be Chen Feng who will take over the Chinese power, even bigwigs like He Yingqin and Li Zongren will stand aside.
Of course, Lao Jiang didn't really want Chen Feng to take over his position, after all, Chen Feng's qualifications were not enough to control a country. But now Lao Jiang can't help it, who made Chen Feng's performance so amazing. Not to mention the severity of this war, Chen Feng is still so awesome in politics that he has recovered 4.5 million square kilometers of land for China in less than a year.
4.5 million square kilometers of land, what is this concept, equivalent to half of China and 12 Japan, how can such credit not be rewarded. But no matter how much credit is rewarded, it feels light, because such a large land area alone is enough for Chen Feng to build a country by himself. If you include the province of Saibei that Chen Feng now controls, its land area is not much smaller than that of the Nationalist Government.
What's more, with Chen Feng's current armed strength, if he is ready to establish a country, I am afraid that the Japanese will be happy for him to do so, and they will secretly support Chen Feng behind his back.
But Chen Feng did not do so, and after the Sino-Soviet war, Chen Feng handed over 70 percent of the land to the government, although he occupied the richest part of the country, Ulaanbaatar. This time too, 60% of the land was taken over by the government, and he only took over 40% of the country, and it was also the land bordering the Japanese army.
In contrast, the 1.7 million square kilometers of land taken over by the Nationalist Government were all in the west or northwest, far from the battlefield, and very safe, while the land taken over by Chen Feng was adjacent to the Kwantung Army, the most powerful strategic group of the Japanese army, and it was dangerous to take over.
After calculating all the credits, Lao Jiang can only reward Chen Feng with the treatment of the No. 2 person, and he really can't do anything else. Of course, there is another reason that with Chen Feng's current power position and personal property, Lao Jiang really can't think of what Chen Feng lacks, what is rare, and only this "No. 2 person" can attract Chen Feng. However, is Chen Feng really rare? (To be continued......)
