Chapter 873 Expanding the Territory of a Million New Baikal Province

Zhou Zhenghao's amount of alcohol really shocked everyone, this twenty-five-year-old young man drank with Yue Fei, the deputy head of the Soviet Russian delegation, one holding a roast leg of lamb and the other hand drinking a roasted knife. Pour a toast, pour a toast. Burning knives at sixty-five degrees, the two of them kept drinking each other, until the fifteenth cup, Yue Fei fell to the ground and was drunk.

At this time, Zhou Zhenghao was happy, he walked to Youlin, the head of the Soviet Russian delegation, with the leftover half-eaten leg of mutton and wine cans, and said in the Tianjin dialect that he was used to when he was a child: "It's a gentleman, just come and have a drink with me, can't you Russians drink?" Aren't you hypocritical on the border issue? Let me show you what it means to be arrogant. ”

You Lin had just drunk with Wang Maoru, Wang Maoru's amount of alcohol was okay, but he didn't want to drink more, which made You Lin still unsatisfied, and when he saw this young man pouring down his deputy, he was very happy, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, I want to see how much you can drink with this little white face of China." ”

Zhou Zhenghao threw away the leg of mutton, and drank with Youlin, scolding the Russians for not being interesting enough, calculating, and forgetting righteousness when they saw profit, while drinking and burning knives. The two drank to the end, both of them drank, and drank two Russian drunkards, this week Zhenghao is not an ordinary person. Among the Soviet Russian delegation, Yulin and Yue Fei were the most drinkable, and many of the Soviet and Russian government officials were promoted from the grassroots level, and many of the promotions were not anything else, just to see if this person could drink vodka. It can be seen that the Russians are sometimes simply quite cute, drinking and talking about official positions, and Yulin became the head of the delegation. But a Chinese young man knocked down the head and deputy head of the regiment who could drink the most, how good Zhenghao was at drinking this week.

Wang Mao watched this kid scold You Lin while drinking You Lin very happily. laughed out loud, Zhou Zhenghao is really a talent, and he is really a Chinese son and daughter, what a strange person.

Wang Maoru originally thought that Zhou Zhenghao was a gentle and elegant literati, but he didn't want to be so heroic and unrestrained, and this person was extremely handsome and chic. Not to mention that according to the appearance of Chinese, that is, according to Europeans and Americans, Zhou Zhenghao also belongs to the type of beautiful man, and his handsome Cheng dΓΉ is on par with Wang Zhaoming of the Kuomintang.

Zhou Zhenghao and You Lin shook hands and sang the Internationale together when they drank strongly, and for a time the drunks of the Soviet and Russian delegations sang separately, and Wang Maoru was not to be outdone, and asked his subordinates to sing "Chinese" together. After a while, Wang Maoru began to sing "Loyal to the Country". No one had heard this song, but after Wang Maoru shouted with a loud voice, they were all moved by the patriotic feelings exuded in this moving music and lyrics. sang with Wang Maoru one after another. That week, Zhenghao also took Yu Lin's hand and sang, and You Lin was probably drunk and unconscious, humming in broken Chinese.

A banquet resolved many problems, and many difficulties in negotiations were solved. They're all friends. Don't dwell on some questions. After several days of negotiations and struggles, the border talks between China and Russia were revised several times, and the Soviet Russian representative changed a radio code to send a telegram to Moscow in two days, and Wang Maoru's original Soviet and Russian password had to be abandoned.

The two sides are at a stalemate on one issue, and that is the Trans-Siberian Railway. The Russian government stressed that the Trans-Siberian Railway must be returned to the Soviet Russian government, but China did not want to lose the fat in its hands. But in the end, Wang Maoru made a decision, the railway can give it to you, but we need the water of Lake Baikal as compensation. Lake Baikal and Lake Balkhash are our inner lakes. The Russian considerations were for strategic reasons, the possession of the Trans-Siberian Railway. In the event of a decisive battle, Russia could adequately transport its forces to the East, and as for Lake Baikal and Lake Balkhash, the two largest freshwater lakes in the world, they were only a strategic resource. As long as it becomes the victorious power in the final war, then what was once lost, will also be regained, so Stalin decided to give the two lakes to China. However, Stalin was opposed by Trotsky, who even rebuked Stalin as a traitor and a clown who betrayed the will of the Bolsheviks, and the contradictions between the two sides broke out further, and with the support of Bukharin and others, Stalin finally gave instructions to Yulin, and we temporarily forged the demands of the Chinese.

In the end, both sides made a border survey treaty that they both felt very bad, known as the Sino-Soviet Friendship Treaty.

The territory between China and the Soviet Union was divided in the treaty as follows: In the Far East, the border between China and Russia was bounded north of the Great Khing'an Mountains, and all the mountains of the Great Khingan Mountains belonged to China, and the south was returned to China until the Japanese Republic was determined to return to China, and the Sino-Russian Treaty of Nebuchu was null and void. With regard to Sakhalin, the Soviet Union and Russia decided not to return it to China for the time being, but to negotiate between the Soviet Union and Japan, and the Chinese Government gave up the fight for Sakhalin Island, which is an island after all, for China, which has no coastal defense, Sakhalin Island is a huge burden. Accordingly, China's territory in Northeast Asia was officially (recovered) by one million square kilometers of land.

In the area north of Mongolia, the east of Lake Baikal and the south of the Yablono Mountains to the Trans-Khingan Mountains belonged to China, in exchange for Central Asia, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and other territories, and Lake Baikal has since become an internal lake for the Chinese. Accordingly, China added 930,000 square kilometers of land in North Asia.

In the Western Regions, the squadron withdrew to the map of the heyday of the Qing government (the map of the Kangxi period prevailed), and the Russian territory now occupied was returned to the Kazakh Khanate, but under Wang Maoru's struggle, 20 kilometers west of Lake Balkhash became the Sino-Russian border, and Lake Balkhash became an inner lake for the Chinese. Accordingly, China has recovered 770,000 square kilometers of land in the Western Regions.

Originally, in addition to the territory that would be returned in the "Sino-Soviet Secret Treaty", the squadron took advantage of the great civil strife in Russia to occupy 3.1 million square kilometers, but in this agreement, only 1 million square kilometers will be added, and the squadron has to spit out the 2.1 million occupied land it has occupied.

On February 5, the 12th year of the Republic of China, 10 days before the traditional Chinese New Year, the Sino-Soviet Friendship Treaty was signed, the first paragraph of the treaty was that China recognized the legitimacy of Soviet Russia, China and the Soviet Union formally established diplomatic relations, and the signatories promised to maintain peaceful and friendly relations between the two sides and respect each other's territorial integrity and inviolability.

The second paragraph, the Soviet Russian Government does not recognize the unequal treaties signed by the Tsarist Government against China, that is, the cancellation of the Sino-Russian Treaty of Ili Tarbahatai Treaty, the Treaty of Nebuchu, the Treaty of Burensky, the Treaty of Aihui, the Treaty of Beijing, the Treaty of Tianjin, the Treaty of Kyakhta, the Treaty of Survey and Demarcation of the Northwest Boundary, the Revised Treaty, the Treaty of Tacheng, the Treaty of Ili, and the Treaty of Kobdo Tarbahatai, that is, all treaties between the Tsarist Government and China are null and void, and the Soviet Russian Government will return 2.7 million square kilometers of land to the Chinese Government. This is the end of the territorial dispute between China and Russia.

Paragraph 3: The Chinese Government shall not participate in or interfere in any international action against Soviet Russia, and shall not participate in any commercial acts of sanctioning the Soviet Russian Government.

Paragraph 4: The border between China and the Soviet Union shall be subject to this treaty and shall not be changed without authorization, and in case of disputes, this treaty shall prevail. The border between China and the Soviet Union stretches from the Zhugzhur Mountains in the east, from Tashkent in the west to Samarkand, and to Lake Baikal and the Sayan Mountains in the north. The boundary survey between the two sides will be completed in five years, and after completion, the Sino-Soviet Friendship Wall will be built as a new boundary line between the two sides.

Fifth, China and the Soviet Union will reach a commercial and trade agreement on the border, allowing free trade.

Paragraph 6, China and the Soviet Union shall exchange prisoners of war, shall not abuse or kill each other's prisoners of war, and the two sides will repatriate political prisoners to each other.

Paragraph 7, the Sino-Soviet Secret Treaty will be declassified and published, and this Agreement will be used as a supplementary version of the Sino-Soviet Secret Treaty.

Paragraph 8, in the event of a hostile conflict between one or more of the contracting parties, the other party to the treaty shall remain neutral for the entire duration of the conflict.

Paragraph 9, This Treaty shall enter into force on the date of ratification by the Parties and shall remain in force for a period of ten years. If neither of the parties to the treaty fails to declare the treaty invalid one year before its expiration, it is deemed to be automatically extended for a further ten years.

After the signing of the Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship, the map of China had to be reprinted, because the territory was increased by another million square kilometers. At the same time, the territory of the Outer Northeast, the Outer Northwest, the northern part of the Tangnu-Ulianghai Sea, the west of the Heilongjiang River and the Baikal Lake all became administrative provinces of China. Wang Maoru quickly instructed the Wehrmacht to order Wu Peifu's Xuanwu Corps, stationed in Mongolian Province, to take over the territory from Lake Baikal to Heilongjiang Province. At the same time, he mentioned to the premier of the Republic of China, Tang Shaoyi, that the 930,000 square kilometers of land between Lake Baikal and Heilongjiang Province were planned as a province, and Yang Du and other aides collectively named Baikal Province, and since then China has one more province. The province of Tessie, which includes Lake Balkhash, also added 70,000 square kilometers to the negotiations. Only the province of Ansi, which had previously occupied Central Asian lands, had to be spit out and restored to its original borders. For this reason, both China and the Soviet side secretly harbored dissatisfaction in their hearts, but on the surface they both claimed that their negotiations had been a great success.

Subsequently, China and the Soviet Union discussed the issue of Belarus, and the demands put forward by the Russians surprised everyone in the Chinese delegation. They demanded that all White Russian men between the ages of 12 and 50 be repatriated to Russia, and that the rest be taken in as refugees in China.

Lu Zhengxiang was puzzled and asked, are you going to kill them? Yue Fei smiled bitterly: "How could we kill them, in the seven years of the Russian Civil War, fifty percent of Russian adult men died in the war, leaving tens of millions of widows." What we need now are men, and what we need are Slavic men to give us offspring in Soviet Russia. ”

The Chinese delegation suddenly came to their senses and laughed, and someone said: "Why can't you be polygamous?" ”

"No, the Bolshevik constitution stipulates that a man can marry only one woman." Fly over the road.

"But you can have many lovers in one man, right?"

Yue Fei laughed proudly and said: "Of course, an excellent Russian man does not have ten lovers, and he is simply not worthy of drinking vodka with others." Arousing the envy of the Chinese present, ten lovers, men dream of ah, the men present all smiled together. On this point, the men of both China and the Soviet Union reached a consensus, and there was no dispute at all.
