Episode 167 No recognition of the Soviet Union

January 30 was Chinese New Year's Eve, and the first year was the most intense, and it can be said that it was spent in the atmosphere of the Northern Qing soldiers coming to the city. The second year was the Northern Expedition, and there was no threat to the rear, so it was a good Spring Festival. But now that I think about it, it was only the people of the south who had a good time for the Spring Festival, and many people in the north still spent it in an atmosphere of war. But at that time, they didn't see it that way, and they still regarded the north as "the place of the Northern Qing Dynasty". In the third year, that is, now this Spring Festival, the entire Ming Dynasty except for the northwest and two frontiers is basically peaceful and safe, and the flames of war have burned abroad.

However, next year's Spring Festival, the Ming people may not think so, and now the "overseas battlefield" that is in flames of war may become the "Ming local" at that time.

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve on the 30th, both the Nanjing Imperial Palace and the Cabinet Government held a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. Kerensky, prime minister of the Provisional Government of Free Russia, and Denikin, commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Free Russia, also flew to Nanjing to attend a dinner and "spend Chinese New Year's Eve with the people of Daming." Also attending the dinner were ambassadors from various countries in Nanjing, the most notable of which were the ambassadors of the United States, Britain, France, and Germany. These ambassadors were frequently invited to talk and toast by members of the Ming royal family and cabinet ministers, and they were all full of energy and laughter.

Among them, the most eye-catching are the Ming Foreign Secretary, the US Ambassador, and the Prime Minister of Free Russia Kerensky, who spend the most time together talking and laughing, which makes people speculate about what the "three countries" are plotting.

That night, Empress Zhu Yourong delivered a Chinese New Year's Eve speech to the whole country and the world on the airwaves. In her speech, she mainly encouraged the morale of the Ming army and the morale of the people, and encouraged everyone to fulfill their responsibilities in their respective posts regardless of the front and rear, and work hard to prevent shells from falling on the heads of the Ming people. In addition, Zhu Yourong also focused on the friendship between the Ming Dynasty and other countries, and praised the selfless help and moral support given by various countries when the Ming Dynasty faced difficulties.

In addition, as long as you are politically sensitive, you can capture a little important information from Zhu Yourong's speech. In his speech, Zhu Yourong did not mention the word "Soviet Union" and repeatedly replaced it with "Russia," "Russian people," and so on. When referring to the war against the Soviet Union, he did not say "war against the Soviet Union", "Soviet army", "Soviet Red Army", etc., but said "war against the Bolsheviks", "Bolshevik armed forces", "Bolshevik army" and so on. She mentions the "Russian government" a few times, but that is always the newly formed "Provisional Government of Free Russia."

Many people have heard it, and many countries have also heard it, although the Ming Dynasty has not officially made it clear, and it seems that they are not going to recognize the Soviet Union, but to recognize the Free Russian Government instead.

So in this way, at least from the perspective of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty and Russia are not belligerents, but are helping Russia to fight a civil war. The Bolshevik regime in Moscow was nothing more than a rebellion. For the Ming Dynasty, the Orthodox Russian government is here in Khabarovsk......

As we enter February, several major diplomatic events have occurred that have stunned the world. First of all, at the beginning of February, the Soviet Union announced that the first king of the Ili Kingdom would be Aixin Jueluo, with the unanimous support of the Ili people. Yuqi. His Majesty the King will hold an enthronement ceremony on February 15 and will accept the invitation of Comrade Stalin to visit Moscow. His Majesty also requested the Soviet government to send troops to garrison Ili to help the Ili people resist the aggression of Ming imperialism and to help establish and train the People's Army of the Ili Kingdom.

As soon as the news came out, the whole Daming boiled. In particular, in the south, there was a lot of outrage, and those who had not supported the war much were now being provoked. For a time, the support for the army and the war in the Ming Dynasty reached a peak.

The Ming government immediately reacted violently, saying that it would never recognize the so-called "Ili Kingdom" that the Bolsheviks had invaded and occupied northern Xinjiang and concocted single-handedly. Yu Qi is the puppet Emperor Xun of the Qing Dynasty, who once committed a serious massacre against the people in the north and is on the run, and the people in the north and south of the Ming Dynasty hate to eat his flesh and sleep on the skin. Now the Bolshevik regime not only invaded the north and south of the sacred territory of the Ming Dynasty, but also raised such a sinner of the Ming people as a "king", which is a serious insult and provocation to the Ming Empire and the Ming people.

The day after the Soviet Union announced its support for King Guangwudang, Shen Rongxuan, the first and auxiliary minister of the Ming Dynasty, made a radio speech, officially recognizing the Soviet Union and recognizing the Free Russian government in Khabarovsk. The Russian land was no longer called the "Union of Soviet Socialist-Istual Republics", but was officially renamed the "Republic of the Russian Federation". The Ming Empire and the Republic of the Russian Federation established diplomatic relations at the ambassadorial level.

On the same day, the King of Siam also announced that the Kingdom of Siam would not recognize the legitimacy of the Bolshevik government in Moscow and would establish diplomatic relations with the Republic of the Russian Federation.

A month later, at the end of February, after a vote in the Senate and House of Representatives, the United States Secretary of State announced that the United States of America and the Republic of the Russian Federation had formally established diplomatic relations at the ambassadorial level, and that all official ties with the Bolshevik government in Moscow had been terminated.

However, at present, the only countries that do not recognize the Soviet Union and recognise the Russian Federation are the Ming Dynasty, the United States, and Siam, and other countries, including Britain, France, and Germany, which have always had good relations with the Ming Dynasty, although they have not recognized the "Ili Kingdom" supported by the Soviet Union, they have not recognized the Russian Federation. These countries are cautious and are still waiting on the sidelines. After all, the USSR is a big country, how many years they have recognized it, how many years have it been a great power to establish diplomatic relations. They are not premeditated like the Ming and the United States, and they can make decisions one after another within a month. First, these countries are not mentally prepared, and second, their own countries are in Europe, not on the other side of the ocean like the United States. The Soviet Union was forced to be in a hurry, and the "armed export revolution" was absolutely done.

But for the Ming Dynasty, it was enough for the United States not to recognize the Soviet Union.

In February, when the US Senate and House of Representatives were voting and debating, all kinds of goods from major American companies were being shipped to New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Boston, Cambridge, Chicago, ...... Load the freighter at the major ports on the east and west coasts and get ready. A few minutes after the final congressional vote was announced, the news was reached in New York Harbor by a dedicated telephone. The harbor was suddenly filled with cheers, and more than a dozen big bosses wearing tuxedos, top hats, and civilized sticks shook hands and hugged each other, and opened champagne on the pier on the spot.

Within half an hour, several 10,000-ton ships in the port sounded their whistles, spewed black smoke, and slowly sailed away from the slipway.

Now for the United States, the Ming and Russia are no longer belligerents. The war between the Russian Federation and the Bolshevik armed forces, now a civil war. The battle of the Ming army on Russian soil is no longer a war between the two countries, but to help the Russian Federation fight a civil war. Then according to the current Neutrality Law, it is legal to send any weapons and war materiel to the ports of the Russian Federation.
