Chapter 565, 566 Journey
"I believe that the vast majority of the world, like us, do not want war. [No pop-up novel network] (Baidu search cow novel ~ online to read the novel) through negotiation to the door of peace. We must first fully realize this ourselves. Nixon respected this politician Dulles, who was as famous as himself, but he was now old and frail, terminally ill, and could no longer keep up with the unpredictable development of the world: "I don't know the Soviets, I haven't contacted them, but through contact with the Chinese, I have learned some of their ideas, and they don't want war, because war will affect their economic development, they hope to establish normal relations and exchanges and cooperation with other countries, respect each other's sovereignty and territorial integrity, non-aggression, and non-interference in each other's internal affairs. Five principles of equality, mutual benefit and peaceful coexistence. ”
Twinning, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, disagreed with Nixon's retort. "That's strange, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, in less than 9 years, counting this dispatch of troops to Outer Mongolia, they have launched 3 large-scale wars, how can this be explained?"
"It's not surprising that anyone would do this for the sake of their country's core interests! The Chinese want to reclaim the land they have lost for more than 100 years, and their vice foreign minister, Li Dawei, has explained that territorial and geopolitical security are their greatest core interests. This is the reason why they are fighting to the death with us north of the 38th parallel in North Korea, and they believe that we have crossed the 38th parallel and endangered their geopolitical security; Before they sent troops to India, Lee came to the United States again and told us why he wanted to send troops to India, because India had invaded their territory and endangered their core interests, and Nehru repeatedly refused to resolve the border issue between China and India through negotiations, believing that India's ambition to seek regional hegemony is a factor of instability in South Asia and will affect the security and stability of this region, which is consistent with the understanding of our South Asian ally Pakistan. This time, despite the identity in the ideological field, they launched a lightning attack on Outer Mongolia, and through our embassy in Beijing, it was explained that this time it was at the request of the Provisional Government of Outer Mongolia to recover their inherent territory, and that they could not allow the Soviet Union to garrison troops in Mongolia. Please pay attention. Linking them to this series of wars revolves around a territorial and geopolitical security. One of the most striking features of these wars they have waged is a short-lived, limited local war. ”
Twinning's words were full of sarcasm and asked, "Mr. Vice President, if according to the logic of the Chinese you said, is it that one day the Indians will ask us for territory when they become strong, and they will also drive us back to Europe?" ”
"There is no doubt that if there is power, anyone will do it!" Nixon also replied with some dismissiveness: "Unless it's an idiot." ”
After nearly two hours of fierce and bloody fighting, more than 200 officers and men on each side were wounded, four Soviet soldiers and one officer were killed and more than 100 were taken prisoner. China also had 2 soldiers and 1 deputy platoon commander and soldiers of the 1st Brigade who sacrificed their lives for the country in this special battle, and 63 people were captured by the Soviet army.
The victory or defeat of this kind of primitive weapon fighting, which has no technical content, depends entirely on the number of participants on both sides and the will to fight of their respective combatants. In the end, the Chinese People's Liberation Army had a numerical superiority and a stubborn fighting will of the commanders and fighters. The fight made the Soviet army panic and urinate. The Chinese People's Liberation Army pursued the victory, and the 50-ton "Destroyer" tank drove onto the railway bridge of the Hun'e River, and pushed six Soviet T55 tanks threaded together with wire ropes into the Hun'e River below the bridge, clearing the barricades on the railway bridge. The large force of the 2nd Mechanized Infantry Division of the Chinese People's Liberation Army successfully crossed the bridge and surrounded the headquarters of the 9th Mechanized Infantry Division of the Soviet Army and a tank regiment stationed in Sukhbagir. The commanders and fighters of the 2nd Infantry Division, who had the numerical superiority, armed with all kinds of primitive weapons, gradually drove the Soviet troops from their positions back to their barracks like pigs.
Both sides strictly adhered to the principle of not firing the first shot. The two sides held each other outside the Soviet barracks, and the Soviet troops who returned to the barracks had become turtles in the urn, and there was little difference between disarming and not disarming. As long as the water, electricity, fuel, and supplies in the camp are pinched, they will starve to death without fighting, but for the sake of the face of the politicians, they must hold on like this. After "friendly" consultations between the chiefs of staff of the two divisions of China and the Soviet Union, the two sides exchanged "prisoners of war"; the Chinese People's Liberation Army did not disarm them, but the Soviet troops were not allowed to go out of the barracks, and the PLA did not enter the Soviet barracks.
On the 3rd day when the Soviet army was surrounded in the barracks, both sides received orders from their superiors, and the 2nd Mechanized Infantry Division gave way to Kyakhta, and more than 10,000 people from the 1st Division of the 9th Mechanized Infantry Division and 4 regiments withdrew to the Soviet Union. At this point, the 36-year history of the Soviet army stationed in Outer Mongolia came to an end.
After Deng Feng saw off the Soviet ambassador to Mongolia, Sabika Evasky, he turned around and saw Li Xiaohong with a dissatisfied look on his face and said, "What's wrong?" Still heartache for your semiconductor radio? In a few days, I will pay you a 'Tengsheng Technology 5069' latest mp3"
Of course, Li Xiaohong is happy, code 5069 is a professional company under the Blue Sky Company to develop and produce semiconductors, their products represent the world's latest scientific and technological achievements, the most novel style, that is rare. But he said, "That's not necessary." Chief, why do you say this old man is like this? The ambassador opened his mouth to ask for something."
"Ambassadors are also human beings," Deng Feng said, "The Russian nation is the most enthusiastic and straightforward nation on the planet. They envy China, and in their hearts our country is the most amazing and advanced country in the world. ”
"They are also the most greedy people." Li Xiaohong said with emotion and indignation: "The Soviet Union occupies so much of our territory, and they owe us too much, and they are really the great enemy of the Chinese nation. ”
"Yes, the ancestors are immoral and incompetent, who can blame them? Whether or not we can recover these historical debts is up to us. ”
"The USSR owes us so much." The vast tract of land occupied by the Soviet Union was like a boulder weighing down Deng Feng. He came to the former Chinese embassy in Outer Mongolia, which has now become the operational headquarters of the Far East Working Committee. He looked at the huge map of the Far East hanging on the wall, marked in red with the territories occupied by Tsarist Russia and the Soviet Union, like a puddle of blood flowing from a rooster lying on the ground and dying. There is a serial number on this beach of blood, counting a total of 15 pieces in Mongolia, and the blood flow area accounts for more than one-third of the rooster.
His gaze rested on the Soviet Union in northwestern Outer Mongolia, the upper basin of the Yeerji River between the Sayan Mountains and the Tangnu Mountains north of Outer Mongolia, a distance of 420 kilometers from north to south and 630 kilometers from east to west. The main river is the Grande Yenisei River, which is fertile and suitable for animal husbandry. The mountainous area is densely forested, rich in precious furs such as black foxes, silver foxes, mink otters, and gray squirrels. Mineral resources are extremely abundant, with large reserves of iron, potassium, asbestos, coal and non-ferrous metals. This is what is known in modern Chinese history as Tangnu Ulianghai. Now it was an autonomous province of the USSR called the "Tuva People's Republic". This territory, which was originally inherent to China with a total area of about 170,000 square kilometers, was forgotten by China itself.
The Qing Dynasty had a general in the western Mongolian town of Uriya Sutai, who had jurisdiction over some of the allied banners in western Mongolia and the Tangnu Ulianghai. Because there is a high Hengduan mountain on the border between Tangnu and Outer Mongolia, the traffic is very inconvenient. Until August 13, 1921, Outer Mongolia, with the support of the Soviet Red Army, established the "Mongolian People's Republic" in Kulen, that is, the city of Ulaanbaatar. The "Tuvan People's Republic", the twin brother of the "Mongolian People's Republic", the Soviet Union is also stepping up its gestation. Thirty-four days after the birth of the "Mongolian People's Republic", the Siberian ** Committee of Soviet Russia convened a meeting of representatives of the Tuvan flags and declared the independence of the Tangnu-Ulianghai Sea.
On December 12 of the same year, the "Republic of Donutua" was proclaimed as a "people's state". Its political system is the same as that of its twin brother, the "Mongolian People's Republic". The constitution of this so-called state clearly declares that the country is under the protection of Soviet Russia in terms of international relations.
Less than a month after the "independence" of the Tangnu-Ulianghai, the Russian government, in the name of the People's Commissariat for Foreign Affairs, declared: "It does not regard the Tangutuva as its own territory, and has no ambitions for this place." …… The Government of Soviet Russia, which did not wish to make territorial claims on the basis of the fact that there were many Russian immigrants in the territory of Tangutuva, had to conclude an agreement with the people of Tangutuva and their administrative organs in order to protect those immigrants, the Russian people living in Tangutuwa. However, the territory of Tuva is not threatened with force at any time".
Subsequently, in accordance with the agreement with the authorities of Tangutua, a set of institutions for the "autonomy" of Russian migrants in the Tangnu-Ulianghai region was established. On July 22, 1925, the Soviet Union signed a "Treaty of Friendship" with the "Republic of Donutua", and the two sides established formal "diplomatic relations". The Soviet Union made no concessions to the Outer Mongolian authorities, who had always been intent on ruling the Tangnu-Ulianghai, and in August 1926, the "Republic of Tangutua" and the "Mongolian People's Republic" signed a so-called friendship treaty, declaring that they recognized each other's independence. In this way, Tangnutuwa eliminated all possibility of merger with Outer Mongolia, and the future of the remaining Chinese territory was already obvious.
In 192, the Fourth Great Hural announced the change of its name to the "Tuva People's Republic" and began the process of Sovietization following Soviet Russia.
In 1931, the Mongolian script was discontinued and replaced by the Cyrillic alphabet, and this cultural invasion of the Soviet Union took place 10 years earlier than in Outer Mongolia.
On June 22, 1941, the Soviet-German war broke out. On that day, the Great Hural of the "Tuvan People's Republic," thousands of miles away, could not wait to express his loyalty to the Kremlin master: "The Tuvan people will stand up and participate in the struggle of the Soviet people against the fascist aggressors, and will use all forces and means to achieve this until the final victory is achieved." Then the "Tuva People's Republic" sent troops to follow the Soviet Union into the war. At the height of the war, the "Tuva People's Republic" sent 40,000 horses, 600,000 cattle and sheep to the Soviet Union, donated a brigade of destroyers, and 5 trains of food, which was really bankrupt for a Tangnu Ulianghai with a population of less than 200,000. In March 1943, 187 tons of meat, 73 tons of fish, 54 tons of butter, 18 tons of enema, 10,000 pairs of boots, and 5,000 fur coats were sent to the Soviet Union.
The Second World War was decided, and the "Tuva People's Republic" "requested" to join the Soviet Union. Naturally, such a request would not be rejected by the Soviet Union, and on October 11, the Supreme Soviet of the USSR decided to accept the request of the "Tuva People's Republic". But a slave is a slave after all, and the self-proclaimed "Tuvan People's Republic" did not enjoy the rights of a union republic, and on October 13 it was incorporated into the Soviet Union only as an autonomous province of Russia, and in 1961 it was upgraded to an autonomous republic by the Soviet Union.
Maybe even the Soviet Union itself felt that it was so secretive that it was not justified or strong, or maybe they felt that even Poland, a great European country, could be partitioned by a Soviet resolution, and this small "Tuva People's Republic" was not worth mentioning at all, for whatever reason, the Soviet Union did not officially make any statements, and TASS did not issue any reports about it, as if nothing had happened, not even a treaty was signed, not even an unequal treaty, In this way, China's Tangnu-Ulianghai was inexplicably included in the territory of the Soviet Union, adding 170,000 square kilometers of Soviet territory. Deng Feng couldn't condemn the traitorous behavior of the Tangnu Wulianghai people in his heart, after all, there were more than 100,000 people in the outer districts.
It is worth condemning that the Chinese government at that time actually learned about this merger when the division of constituencies was announced in the Soviet Soviet election on October 11, 1945, when the Tangnu-Ulianghai area was listed as the 299th constituency of the Soviet Soviet election. At this time, the independence of Outer Mongolia was also a complete boat, and the government of the Republic of China was even more out of reach of Tangnu Ulianghai, but as a national government, it was always right to say something. They didn't, but turned a blind eye, pretending not to see anything, not knowing anything. v
