Not only did the Mongolian top brass refuse to be rescued from below, but even the upper echelons of the Soviet Army stationed in Mongolia, who actually controlled the Mongolian People's Army, were worried that they were instigated by the so-called leader of the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party and that this unauthorized action would lead to a full-scale war between Japan and the Soviet Union. Therefore, they adopted a tacit attitude towards the behavior of the Mongolian high-level and adopted their advice.

But on the surface, the problem lies in the Mongolian leadership. Although it was first proposed that taking advantage of the Japanese army's retreat to the south, the entire northern Hung Yen province had become a rare opportunity for the entire northern province to be undefended before the anti-Japanese alliance was stationed, and it was the so-called Mongolian high-level who took advantage of the situation to seize the northern province of Hung Yen.

In order to avoid direct conflict with the Japanese army as much as possible, the idea of sitting idly by and watching the Japanese army's massacre of the city was first put forward by the leaders of the Mongolian people and strongly demanded that it be implemented. In the hearts of these so-called Mongol leaders, who had a strong desire for reunification in their hearts, as long as the Japanese were defeated, the weak Chinese would not dare to oppose the Soviet Union.

Even in the minds of the leaders of the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party, if possible, they even expanded their influence eastward to the province of Hung Yen East, or south to the provinces of Hung Yen South and Hung Yen West. In order to realize their desire and ambition to unite all the Mongol settlements on the territory of China into a unified so-called Mongolian People's Republic.

On the surface, the problem lies with the Mongol leader, but in fact, the root of many problems lies in the upper echelons of the Soviet army stationed in Mongolia. Kovalev is well aware of this. After all, the real power of the Mongolian army is in the hands of large and small Soviet advisers under the direct command of the Soviet army headquarters in Mongolia.

Without the nod of the commander of the Soviet Army stationed in Mongolia, this so-called Mongolian People's Army could not even mobilize a battalion, let alone march eastward this time. Moreover, if the headquarters of the Soviet Army in Mongolia had just nodded their heads and made some symbolic moves when they were massacring the city in Hailar, things would not have come to this irreversible point today.

At least when you negotiate yourself, you won't fall into such passivity. It's just that there are some questions, and Kovalev will not say it when he is killed. If you really say it, then I'm afraid that you will be the unlucky. Even if the leader doesn't pursue it, the military won't let him go.

Even if the Mongols implemented this idea, whether it was Moscow or themselves, and even the guy in front of him, who was an ally, but was also an opponent in a certain way, I am afraid that he knew very well in his heart. With Kovalev's understanding of the guy in front of him, it is impossible for him not to know the trick in it.

He cursed 10,000 times in his heart, and the one who took advantage of the purge of a large number of high-ranking commanders during the purge to climb up on a rocket. Two years ago, he was just a lieutenant colonel combat staff officer, but now he is the commander of the Soviet army in Mongolia, the guy who caused trouble but wiped his ass, Kovalev still has to face the reality in front of him.

There is nothing to be done, but there are some things that should be solved and must be solved. After hesitating for a moment, Kovalev looked at Yang Zhen, who was expressionless, and said: "Comrade Yang Zhen, even if the Mongolian People's Army has acted like a person who will not be saved, after all, it was the Japanese army that slaughtered the residents of Hailar, not the Mongolian comrades. ”

Moreover, the Mongolian People's Army is a well-disciplined unit, and even if they learn that the Japanese army has slaughtered the city, they must consult their superiors if they want to take necessary military action. Waiting for the superiors to judge the shape and approve their next move, this back and forth, it will take time. Therefore, the matter of not saving you in the face of death is not necessarily what you think. ”

"Comrade Yang Zhen, you are also a soldier. You shouldn't want your subordinates to be hot-headed and act on their own without the instructions of their superiors. You should be more aware of the consequences of such an army. The Mongolian People's Army was not the Japanese Kwantung Army, which prevailed in the lower ranks. The command of the higher authorities was to obey the command of the first qiē operation, which was a discipline that this army had strictly enforced since the day it was formed.

"So in this matter, they did make some mistakes, but they can't blame the Mongolian comrades for everything, right? Moreover, these Mongolian comrades entered the northern Hung Yen region to assist you in liberating your compatriots. Even if there are some contradictions in understanding, they are not unsolvable. ”

"Comrade Yang Zhen, I hope you will calmly consider our conversation today. I don't want our friendship because of this little thing that brings some unnecessary harm. As an old friend of yours, I really don't want us to be at a stalemate over this. ”

"As an old friend, I want you to think about the consequences. I hope you will not forget the help given to you by the party and the people of the Soviet Union. And if this stalemate continues, will you be able to bear the consequences of having a bad relationship with Moscow? You know, you still need our help. ”

In response to Kovalev's words, Yang Zhen frowned and said: "Comrade Kovalev, can I think that this is an ultimatum that you gave me or our Anti-Japanese Federation? If we don't release these prisoners of war immediately, will you take some retaliatory measures? ”

Yang Zhen's words made Kovalev slightly stunned and then quickly shook his head and said, "Comrade Yang Zhen, I didn't mean that. I'm just reminding you not to do anything too extreme. Mongolia's population base is only more than 700,000, and the more than 20,000 troops are almost the entire armed forces of the Mongolian People's Republic. Mongolia is not China, and hundreds of thousands of troops can be mobilized at any time. ”

"And the safety of Mongolia is related to the security of the vast eastern regions of the Soviet Union, and Moscow will absolutely not turn a blind eye to this matter. As I said, Moscow will give you an answer in this matter. But it will take time, but the current situation in Mongolia will not give us much time. So I hope you can release all the Mongol prisoners of war first, and as for the rest, we will naturally look into it. ”

Speaking of this, Kovalev hesitated slightly and then said: "Comrade Yang Zhen, there is no need to hide between us. Let you release these prisoners of war immediately, what conditions can you put forward, we will study it. I am here today on behalf of Moscow, not by General Abanashenk. ”

"But these captured officers and soldiers of the Mongolian People's Army, you must be released immediately, this is Moscow's bottom line. I think you're very aware of that. As long as you agree to this, we can discuss other things. If you have any requirements, we will also consider them carefully. Comrade Yang Zhen, I hope you will carefully consider the current overall situation. ”

Of course, it is not unreasonable if you insist that my words are threats or ultimatums. After all, Moscow will not allow the current situation to drag on for a long time. The Mongolian shape shì will not allow this kind of thing to drag on for a long time. Comrade Yang Zhen, I hope you can consider it carefully. ”

After careful consideration of these words, Kovalev spoke very seriously. It is clear that he would not utter such semi-threatening words with his rather tactful personality, and he may have meant these words by Moscow. What's the big picture aspect of his mouth? Yang Zhen could figure it out with his eyes closed.

For Kovalev's words, Yang Zhen's fingers tapped on the sofa but did not answer. Just looked at Kovalev on the side with a look of intriguing. Of course, there is also Kovalev's side, the chief of staff of the Soviet army in Mongolia, who came with Kovalev this time.

originally thought that his words would make Yang Zhen make some concessions. Unexpectedly, after listening to his words, Yang Zhen did not answer any of his words. Kovalev, who couldn't figure out what Yang Zhen was thinking in his heart, was furious in his heart when he was looked at by Yang Zhen's strange gaze.

Looking at this guy who was a little hairy by his gaze, Yang Zhen smiled strangely before saying, "Comrade Kovalev, whether what you said is true or false, you know and I know." What kind of thoughts these Mongols had in mind when they entered the northern Hung Yen region, Moscow knows it well, and I know it even better. So, don't tell any lies in front of real people. I'm not that easy to fool. ”

"Let me release these prisoners of war immediately, this is not a non-negotiable issue. But there is one thing, and that is that the ambitions of this so-called Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party for our territory must be resolved cleanly and thoroughly. I don't want this to happen again one day in the future. I need a guarantee from Moscow. ”

"Comrade Kovalev, I don't have long eyes on my ass. In the future, we will have to face countless big battles and vicious battles in the war against Japan, and I don't want to be stabbed in the back again the next time I fight the Japanese army. Comrade Kovalev, this taste is not pleasant. Therefore, those directly responsible for this matter must be severely punished. ”

"Whether he is a high-ranking Mongolian party and government, or a senior commander of the Soviet army cluster in Mongolia, he must pay a price for this. No matter how high the rank of the person is, they must be punished severely. Some people are ambitious, and it's time to spank and remember for a long time. In particular, if such a thing that corrupts the name of the Soviets is not severely punished, it is afraid that it will lead to even worse incidents in the future. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Zhen waved his hand to stop Kovalev, who was still trying to say something, and said: "Comrade Kovalev, since you are familiar with Chinese culture, you are very clear about many Chinese sayings. Then there is an old saying in China, which is called punishment before punishment and punishment after punishment. This means that those who make mistakes should be severely punished, so that more people can avoid repeating the responsibility. ”

"As for the rest, I think that's easy to say. This time, the Mongolian People's Army entered our territory without authorization, which brought us severe losses. They have to make some compensation. I know that the Mongolian People's Army has a stockpile of artillery and heavy equipment such as tanks and armored vehicles in Bagabandi. We ask them to use this equipment to compensate for the damage they have caused to the Chinese. ”

"Anyway, they are losing their troops now, and they won't need it for a while. Rather than rusting in vain, it is better to hand it over to us so that we can strike a more powerful blow at the Japanese aggressors and make greater contributions to the world anti-fascist struggle. At the same time, he also made his due contribution to cutting off the ambitions of the Soviets. ”
