Chapter 820: The New Sino-Soviet Agreement
In the Baikal region, Tang Qiuli played a ruthless hand, ordering Tang Qiusheng's corps and Feng Jiwu's corps to set up several blockade lines on the road of the Transcaucasian Front to reinforce Timoshenko, blocking the passage of the Soviet army to the east, and finally putting the Soviets on the negotiating table.
Molotov heard the meaning of Tang Qiuli's words, but this old fox did not refute it, and the Transcaucasian Front army said that the initiative was in the hands of the Chinese, and it was no good to entangle.
Tang Qiuli smiled faintly, looking at Molotov's blue-gray eyes, he knew what the hell was going on in his heart for this veteran figure of the CPSU who followed Stalin's footsteps closely.
He didn't want to hold back the Transcaucasian Front for too long, if Timoshenko's troops were eaten by the Kwantung Army, it would not be in line with Tang Qiuli's overall plan, and the Japanese and Soviets would fight as fiercely as possible in the Far East, no matter which side consumed its strength, it would be beneficial to his future plans, and he was afraid that he would not be able to fight.
Moreover, according to Tang Qiuli's judgment, even if the strength of the Transcaucasian Front joined the Far East battlefield, the Soviets were still at a disadvantage, and the Kwantung Army still had more than 300,000 troops that had not been used, while the Soviet troops in the Far East and the neighboring Far East were all used.
Next, the negotiations got to the point, first of all, the issue of the status of the Outer Méng Gu, on this point, the two sides have no differences, Tang Qiuli has now achieved all the advantages in the Outer Méng Ancient Region, and is implementing effective administration, while the Soviet Union has completely lost its forces in the Outer Méng Ancient Region, and the tool that can be used, the Méng Ancient People's Party, has been uprooted by Tang Qiuli.
In terms of international law, the government of the Republic of China has never recognized the independence of the Wai Méng Gu, so whether it is Choibalsan to pursue independence or the Soviet Union to garrison the Wai Méng Gu. It was all illegal, but at that time, the Beiyang government was unable to take care of it, and the Soviet military was strong, so there was the fact that the foreign government was illegally independent.
It can be seen from this that there is no axiom in the world, whoever has a hard fist has the right to speak, and wherever the force goes, it is a paradise where axioms exist, Stalin is a veteran in this way, the Soviet Union's military strength in ancient times has been all defeated by Tang Qiuli, and the Japanese are in the Far East, he is in a hurry, and there is no benefit in entanglement in the ancient issue of foreign countries.
Therefore, Stalin wisely chose to give up all the interests of the ancient region of Outer Méng, although the distress and pain were enough to keep him awake at night, and he had to bow his head to Tang Qiuli, it makes sense to have strength, this is true
Since there were no differences, Tang Qiuli and Molotov quickly negotiated and reached an agreement, and the two sides jointly issued a statement announcing to the world the question of the ownership and status of the Wai Méng.
The basic contents of the agreement were: 1. The Soviet Socialist Union recognizes the Waiméng Ancient Region as the inherent territory of the Republic of China, the sovereignty of the Waiméng Ancient Region is exercised by the Republic of China Government, and the right to administer it is exercised by General Tang Qiuli, Chairman of the Provisional Military and Political Committee of the Outer Méng.
2. From the date of the proclamation, the activities of the Soviet Union in Wai Méng Gu are to cease and hostilities cease until the Provisional Military and Political Council of the Wai Méng Gu has confirmed the need to restore relations between the two sides, and then carry out the necessary exchanges between the two sides.
3. The two sides shall jointly form a Boundary Survey Commission in order to determine the specific location of the State border and to lay boundary pillars.
Here, Molotov made a cunning gesture, he only emphasized the Outer Méng Ancient Region, which means the existing administrative division, Tang Qiuli could see the intention of this old fox at a glance, he wanted to quietly blacken the other four territories that originally belonged to the Outer Méng Ancient Region, thinking that he did not know.
The existing Trans-Méng administrative region covers an area of 2 million square kilometers, excluding the Tangnu-Ulianghai region, which was occupied by Tsarist Russia and is now part of the Khovdo region in northeastern Kazakhstan, which is now part of the Khovdor region of the north-eastern part of Kazakhstan, and the Trans-Méng region in the broad sense includes Lake Baikal and the western part of Lake Baikal, with a total area of more than 2.8 million square kilometers.
Tang Qiuli sent Feng Jiwu to lead his troops into the above-mentioned areas to remind Stalin that all our military operations were aimed at recovering the original territory, and Molotov wanted to make a sloppy eye and swallow up the more than 800,000 square kilometers of land.
Tang Qiuli smiled coldly, filled in the supplementary terms of the agreement, filled in the above-mentioned area, and then, handed the agreement to Molotov, Molotov read it, and jumped up like a burning ass, such a big thing, he can't be the master, the bottom line that Stalin gave him is the existing outer méng ancient territory, excluding the above four regions.
What if he had agreed here, and would it be strange if Comrade Stalin had not skinned him when he went back? This leader's greed for territory is more than anyone else in the world, Molotov was sweating, and hurriedly proposed to temporarily terminate the negotiations, he wanted to ask Moscow, Tang Qiuli was not afraid of his change of mind, and readily agreed.
After receiving Molotov's telegram, Stalin almost gritted his teeth and agreed, and this Qiē request of the Chinese, whom he called a scoundrel and a scoundrel, spit out more than 800,000 square kilometers of land, Stalin was so angry that he almost went violent, but he did not have time to vent his anger, and the luàn numb war situation in the Far East was still waiting for him to deal with it
A total of more than 2.8 million square kilometers of land fell into Tang Qiuli's hands, and the border with the Soviet Union moved north to the area north of Lake Baikal, becoming a nail wedged into the territory of the Soviet Union.
The next thing to talk about is the handling of Zhukov and the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the First Army in the Far East, who were besieged for more than ten days.
Molotov's demand is that the squadron immediately lift the encirclement of the Soviet army, and the units belonging to the First Army in the Far East immediately withdraw from the ancient area of Outer Méng, and the demand is as simple as that, you Chinese withdraw the encirclement, we Soviets return home, the two do not owe each other, each goes his own way, it should be a misunderstanding.
Tang Qiuli didn't even say hello, got up and left the table, and walked away, leaving Molotov in a daze, I don't know where to make this robber-like Chinese general angry?
This is two days, Molotov's eyes are blue in a hurry, living in the barracks of the Chinese, he is uncomfortable, he always feels that his little life will be reimbursed at any time, until the chief of staff Chang Feng came twice, Molotov probed the tone, Chang Feng just smiled and said: "Your Excellency Regiment Commander, don't you think your request is a bit excessive?" Our squadron is fighting on our own territory, and we are fighting a war against aggression, and your Soviet army has been defeated, where is the reason why there is a defeated army that leaves like this? ”
Molotov seemed to understand a little, and hurriedly said: "Please tell General Tang that your request can be put forward, and we will negotiate and solve it," Chang Feng wanted these words from him.
Immediately, when Molotov saw the compensation demand made by the Chinese side, he jumped up angrily on the spot and shouted: "You are a bandit, and the robbery of Chiluoluǒ is extortion and blackmail," Tang Qiuli smiled coldly and said, "Is it? You also find it difficult to accept, then, starting from Tsarist Russia, how much land and wealth have you Soviets stolen from our China, how can you be able to pay such a small compensation, since ancient times, the defeated will be punished, and I can completely order the elimination of hundreds of thousands of Soviet soldiers in the encirclement. ”
"Why didn't you do this, this reflects the civilization and long-standing martial virtues of our Chinese nation, if you find this condition unacceptable, I don't need a little compensation from the Soviet Union, it's just that General Zhukov and his hundreds of thousands of soldiers, we will deal with it in the same way as dealing with the aggressor, it's very simple, a matter of tens of thousands of shells." Tang Qiuli's tone became more and more cold, and his murderous aura couldn't help but be outward, and his eyes flashed with cold light like a blade.
Molotov fought a cold war, he absolutely believed that the young man in front of him, who had the scars on his face and the bloody gas, did it, judging from his methods of killing the Far Eastern Special Army and the Soviet troops in the Ulan-Ude direction, he was definitely a bloodthirsty and murderous man, and he would not show mercy to Zhukov.
Tang Qiuli was not afraid of the Soviets at all, he let go of the Transcaucasian Front, and there were more than 100,000 people of the First Army in the Far East.
The Soviet Union, as the defeated side in the ancient region of Méng, should, in accordance with international practice, pay the following compensation to the victorious North China Independent Division of the Republic of China: 1. 700 mén howitzers with a caliber of 155 mm and 700,000 shells, 800 "T-28" tanks, 500 Il-16 and MiG series fighters, and 1,500 trucks.
2. For the sake of convenience, the encircled Soviet soldiers are calculated according to 140,000 soldiers, and General Zhukov is calculated according to 10,000 soldiers, a total of 150,000 soldiers, and each soldier is equivalent to one ton of high-quality steel, and the Soviet Union needs to take out 150,000 tons of steel in exchange for the lives of soldiers.
3. All the existing equipment and ammunition of the First Army in the Far East are not allowed to be taken away, and they will be counted as weapons and equipment captured by our army in combat.
Fourth, the Soviet side must provide BM13 rocket launchers, ten complete sets of equipment, and 6,400 132-mm tail rockets.
Note: The above conditions are the final bottom line of our side, and we refuse to bargain, and we need the Soviet side to reply within three days.
This is all Tang Qiuli's demand for compensation, no wonder Molotov jumped when he saw it, and Tang Qiuli also pondered, instead of asking for money, it is better to ask for benefits in kind.
Tang Qiuli's conditions have been taken out, just waiting for Molotov to reply, anyway, he is not in a hurry, there is time to spend on the Soviets.
