The convoy left Ulaanbaatar International Airport and began to drive towards the city of Ulaanbaatar, and when they gradually reached the outskirts of the city, Kim Hyun-tae finally saw the most authentic side of Ulaanbaatar.

Most of the vehicles on the road are Suzhou-made 'Volga' or 'Lada' cars, and more are blue-gray cars like bread cubes, and it is rare to see foreign cars.

Of course, perhaps this has something to do with the fact that the Soviet Union has not collapsed and Mongolia has not changed its national policy, after all, the Soviet Union in this time and space is still in good shape, so Mongolia, as a member country, has also survived.

And Mongolia, where Kim Hyun-tae was originally located, began to seek transformation as a last resort after experiencing the collapse of the Soviet Union and the loss of aid, so the whole country has changed a lot.

First of all, there are more luxury cars on the streets, and the capital city of Ulaanbaatar has also seen the emergence of international hotels and bars.

Where is it like Mongolia in a different time and space, these things are not seen now.

Everywhere Kim Hyun-tae looks, there are buildings with a strong Soviet style, and even the statues and slogans on the sides of the streets are Soviet heroes or written in Russian.

If it weren't for the large number of men dressed in traditional Mongolian costumes walking through the streets, Kim Hyun-tae would have even thought that he would simply be in the Soviet Union.

But he was right to think so, after all, Mongolia was a nominal member of the Soviet Union, but a de facto vassal state.

Bakeries, sausage shops, all the shops use the so-called 'new Mongolian', but these Mongolian claims that the 'new Mongolian' is exactly the same as the Russian.

And through the car window, Kim Hyun-tae saw that many people wearing traditional Mongolian clothes were lying on the street, and pedestrians did not even look at them when they passed by, as if they were no longer surprised by such people.

"Those are drunk people, Mongolian men love to drink, even more than Soviet men, in this country men basically drink all day and do nothing, all the women do things, I really feel sorry for Mongolian women. ”

Matthews said something faintly at this time, and his tone was even a little embarrassed.

Indeed, the burden of life is on women, and this is indeed a little uncomfortable.

But what can you change?

Kim Hyun-tae didn't say anything after thinking about it.

"I came here 10 years ago, and I have a deep understanding of the lives of ordinary people in Mongolia, so I have a relatively good say in these matters. ”

Matthews' eyes drifted a little, as if he had fallen into that memory from the beginning.

"I still remember that I didn't travel with the visiting group, but visited a herdsman's house on my own, and I saw with my own eyes that it was a woman who took care of the housework while taking care of the children, and also had to go to herding. At that time, the only man in the family was just sleeping profusely, and when he woke up and found that his wife had not cooked the meal, the guy was furious and beat the woman hard. ”

Matthews's tone was calm, but Kim Hyun-tae could hear a hint of anger and unwillingness behind this calm.

"I asked the woman privately and she said that this happens every day, and if her husband doesn't hit her one day, it's her lucky day. And her experience is not special here, almost all women will have such experiences and encounters, I can't imagine this. ”

Listening to Matthews's words, Kim Hyun-tae was also silent.

As a Chinese man, Kim Hyun Tae can't imagine how bad the life of a woman here is, anyway, he can't do it by beating his wife.

But on the Mongolian side, this kind of thing is commonplace.

Seriously, he really couldn't take it.

Matthews took a deep breath and calmed himself.

"You know what? Since that time, I have looked down on these men in Mongolia, and I despise them from the bottom of my heart, because they beat women. ”

Seriously, Kim Hyun-tae, the man who beat the woman, also looked down on it, so he nodded in agreement.

"Yes, I agree with you. ”

Kim Hyun-tae's echo made Matthews smile happily.

"It's an honor that you agree with me, thank you. ”

Happy Matthews thanked him for this.

Later, Matthews and Kim Hyun Tae talked about some other aspects of Mongolia, which also gave Kim Hyun Tae a deeper understanding of Mongolia.

Thanks to Matthews.

If it weren't for him, Kim Hyun-tae might have had to work hard to get to know Mongolia.

"Mongolia doesn't produce food, so they need a lot of food aid from the Soviet Union every year to alleviate this problem. Don't look at the people in Mongolia who like to eat meat, but their own cattle and sheep have to be given to the Soviet Union, so they make their own beef and mutton scarce, so the price of beef and mutton is ridiculously expensive. ”

Because he had been in Mongolia ten years ago, Matthews really knew a lot about it, and these things were still unknown to Kim Hyun-tae.

And from what Matthews said, it can basically be seen how the Soviets plundered.

It's just that for such plunder, Mongolia simply does not dare to say no.

Because they were so frightened by the Soviets that they didn't dare to be careful at all.

And when it comes to why Mongolians are afraid of the Soviet Union, there is really a lot of history in this.

Of course, this history belongs to a different time and space.

(PS: It is hereby declared that the history of different time and space, please do not sit in the opposite number.) The story of this novel is completely fictional, and any similarities are purely coincidental!)

The Mongolian side arranged for George Sr. and his entourage to stay at the former Soviet Embassy, and the convoy still needed more than 20 minutes to arrive, so Matthews and Kim Hyun-tae could only chat to pass the time.

Fortunately, Kim Hyun-tae is very interested in Mongolian affairs, and Matthews is very excited to open the conversation box, so the two guys are in tune with each other.

Little Coco has no interest in the conversation between adults, and since the little one left the airport, he has been looking out the car window curiously, observing this exotic place.

The temperature in Mongolia is also high in July, but unlike in the tropics, people here also wear traditional Mongolian robes in summer, because people don't sweat because of dryness, so it doesn't matter if they wear robes.

Moreover, the temperature here is high during the day, but the temperature will drop sharply at night, and the temperature difference is very large, so people here don't have to worry about cooling down at night if they wear thicker.

Looking at it, Xiao Keke suddenly became interested in traditional Mongolian clothing, and she even secretly decided to make a set to wear herself.

On this trip to Asia, when the little guy left Japan and South Korea, he got a set of local traditional clothes, so she also wanted to get a set when she came to Mongolia.

"At the beginning, the Soviets slaughtered more than 100,000 lamas, and although the official number was only 3,000, you must also understand how untrustworthy the official number is, especially when it comes to such things. Matthews' tone was playful.

As for Matthews's statement, Kim Hyun-tae basically agrees.

"Lamas, old aristocrats, intellectuals, and even those who expressed even the slightest dissatisfaction with the movement were purged by the Soviets, which led to the disappearance, massacre, and unnatural death of more than seventy percent of Mongolia's top dignitaries and generals at the time. ”

Although Matthews spoke of this matter, his tone was very flat.

But when Kim Hyun-tae heard this, he felt cold from the bottom of his heart.

People who can't stand the torture will mostly choose to bite others for their own sake at that time, so there are not a few people who have died unjustly for this. Although you don't know the methods of KGB, you should have heard that their methods are not something that ordinary people can withstand. ”

Because the vehicle is American, and the person driving the car is also American, Matthews can talk to Kim Hyun-tae about this in the car without worrying about anything at all.

This also allowed Kim Hyun-tae to learn about the history of Mongolia in a different time and space.

Matthews said that he was very excited, which was cheap for Kim Hyun-tae.

After all, it is always more accurate to listen to Matthews than to search for this kind of information on the Internet.

"There were many such movements in the early days of Mongolia, so those who dared to raise their voices and disagree with some of the policies of the Soviet Union are no longer alive, so what kind of people would be those who were able to come to the front of the stage and hold important government positions? At the same time, what kind of attitude will these people have towards the Soviet Union?"

What Matthews said is more in-depth than what is often said in the future, and it can also give people a deeper understanding of the psychology of Mongolian politicians.

Hearing this from Matthews, if Kim Hyun-tae can't make an accurate judgment, then he's really a fool.

It is clear and clear that the people of Mongolia are very afraid of the Soviet Union, because they have been killed by the Soviets, and they have no will to resist at all.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the Mongolian parliament has such an attitude towards other countries, which is purely to show the Soviets, and at the same time to say that it has no dissenting intentions.

"How many people did the Soviets kill in the first place?"

Kim Hyun Tae's eyelids twitched a little and he asked.

Matthews thought for a while and said: "According to the official Soviet Union, there were three campaigns that purged less than 20,000 people, and the official number of Mongolia followed the Soviet Union, which is also around this number, but according to our numbers in the United States and other countries, the conservative estimate should be about 700,000, which is one-tenth of the total population of Mongolia at that time." ”

I went to the one-tenth of the people who were purged, and this number is really scary.

Kim Hyun-tae couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this.

Although it is only a cold and cold number, it is an indisputable fact that behind this number are all fresh lives.

I can't imagine how cruel the truth behind this history is, anyway, Kim Hyun-tae really stood on end after hearing it.

"The Mongols are willing to be ostriches, and each of them is willing to think about it, and the Soviets simply don't care, but what I can tell you is that we know that there are a lot of mass graves here, after all, there are so many people who are missing that there is no trace of it. ”

Matthews suddenly said this to Kim Hyun-tae.

Hey!

Hearing Matthews say this, a trace of doubt flashed in Kim Hyun-tae's heart.

What are you doing with these mass graves?

Is it possible?

Kim Hyun-tae thought of a possibility.

Soon, Matthews gave Kim Hyun Tae an answer.

I saw Matthews lower his voice and whispered to Kim Hyun-tae: "Find these places first, although you can't use them now, but it may be useful in the future." ”

[Sure enough, it is similar to what I guessed, and the United States still has some ideas about the Soviet Union. Kim Hyun-tae secretly speculated in his heart, and at the same time wondered [Did he write out the set of things that subverted the Soviet Union and show it to old George?]

Kim Hyun-tae was a little hesitant about this idea for the time being...... (To be continued.) )
