Three days later, Moscow received a reply from US President Roosevelt.
"Dear Marshal Slin: On behalf of the U.S. government and in my own name, I deeply sympathize with your country's experience. Currently, the United States is also suffering from Japanese fascist aggression. The free world's anti-fascist task is very arduous.
We cannot offend another Chinese friend because of our Soviet-Russian friend. It’s really hard for us to intervene in the fight between two friends. Of course, the U.S. government’s assistance to Soviet Russia will remain as always. Best wishes!”
The message was signed: "Your friend, Franklin Roosevelt."
"You son of a bitch Roosevelt! Molotov, look at it, this is the evil capitalism!" After reading the letter, Stalin cursed bitterly and threw the letter to Molotov, chairman of the People's Committee for Foreign Affairs.
husband.
"Dear Comrade Slin, it is not worth being angry for the United States." Molotov took the letter and said.
In fact, as a diplomatic professional, Molotov already knew how the United States would answer. It is really strange that the United States would declare war on China because of Soviet Russia! If we say that the United States is fighting Japan, the United States is now in a tight situation because of its national strength.
This does not mean that it will continue to be like this in the future; however, if the United States chooses to be hostile to China, then it will be really difficult for the United States to deal with China's strong manpower and material support. Even if the United States can finally win the war, it can only
It was a tragic victory.
"Uh, Comrade Molotov, what do we do?" Slin thought for a while and realized that it was really not worth being angry with the United States.
"In response to the United States' reply, I suggest convening a Politburo meeting." Molotov thought for a while and did not accept the move.
Molotov has also done in-depth research on China in recent years. In his opinion, China is no longer the Wu Xia Amon of the past. However, the national policy of Soviet Russia, or Comrade Stalin is not willing to change its attitude toward China.
China's inherent view. If Comrade Slin could follow Comrade Lenin's suggestion and return the territory that Tsarist Russia ceded from China to China, wouldn't there be no such war? Not only would there be no such war, Soviet Russia could also gain access to China's territory.
Military assistance.
"If we renegotiate with China now and agree to return the ceded land to China, I wonder what the outcome will be?" Molotov suddenly had a bold idea.
Sure enough, at the Politburo meeting, someone actually put forward a suggestion that had the same idea as Molotov. It seemed that he was not the only one who could think of this trick.
Of course, some people, on the other hand, say that the hateful Asian yellow-skinned monkeys dare to invade the great Soviet Russia, and must be severely punished to make the yellow-skinned monkeys realize the power of the great Soviet Russia and resolutely not negotiate with China. If negotiations are necessary
, it is better to negotiate with Germany.
Stalin certainly understood that it was impossible to negotiate with Germany, but he actually agreed with the idea of negotiating with China. Stalin also said, "Comrades, China has become a military power, and we must re-revise our view of China; if
Possibly, we should live in peace with China! Since China wants their land, then give it to them."
However, when the Soviet Union passed their diplomatic wishes through their ambassador to the United States, and then through the U.S. government to the Chinese ambassador to the United States, China simply ignored them. Moreover, at this time, the situation of the war was no longer determined by Sri Lanka.
Lin has the final say.
…
The Battle of Hailanpao ended in an anticlimactic manner and could only be considered "half" of the battle. In the early morning of the next day, the top commander of the Soviet army and the commanders of each division used their guards to arrest all the Soviet officers who still wanted to resist.
, and then they all lined up out of the city and surrendered their weapons to the Chinese army.
When these Soviet soldiers arrived at the prisoner-of-war camp, they received a warm reception. Warm rice, the famous pork stewed vermicelli, and tomato and egg soup made the Soviet soldiers feel like they had entered heaven. Although the Soviet soldiers were treated poorly
It is still very good. After all, Slin wants them to work for him, so he has to spend some money, but compared with the Chinese National Defense Force, it is really far behind.
However, this is not how the Chinese National Defense Forces captured prisoners. Japanese prisoners did not enjoy such a good life back then. The Soviet soldiers could enjoy this kind of life entirely because of the opinion of the Free Russian Army, and the required expenses were also provided by the Free Russian Army.
Tolstoy, the commander-in-chief of the army, is in charge. China cannot be so kind to its enemies. There are still many civilians in the country who can only eat meat once a month and are still in poverty.
And where does the money for the Free Russian Army come from? It is impossible to support such a large army by relying on the Russian nobles in exile abroad. So, the only choice is to borrow from the Chinese government. Of course, borrowing is possible, but the borrowed money must be repaid.
What is Comrade Tolstoy going to give in return? Hao Yong gave him an idea. After the restoration of the country, he can use Russian minerals to repay!
Although Hao Yong is an intelligent robot, he is very proficient in human nature and very proficient in calculations. As long as he gets on his pirate ship, there is only one way to end.
At this time, the Free Russian Army is still training and expanding. In the battle of the Chinese army, Wu Aihua will not use the Free Russian Army to fight, so as not to make it unclear at the time. After this army is fully completed, it will be directly dedicated to Acre
Tobe fought in the Soviet Union's European territories to the west and north. If they wanted the territory, they had to take it back themselves.
…
The premature end of the Battle of Hailanpao made Wu Aihua relieved. Although the National Defense Forces were strong and fought another battle with the Soviet army in Tielek in Central Asia two years ago, the Chinese army was still in that battle.
It's the home field, so it's easy to win, and it's reasonable to think it's good. And this time it's the Chinese army going abroad, even the first time in two hundred years. It's quite a test of the strength of the Chinese National Defense Force. This kind of strength does not refer to equipment.
Rather, it refers to the command capabilities of officers at all levels of the Chinese National Defense Force.
Fortunately, the strength of the Soviet army's resistance was also expected, the Chinese army's command did not make any mistakes, and the performance of other units was also remarkable.
If it can be said that in the Battle of Hailanpao, the National Defense Forces adopted a "hard-to-take" and head-to-head approach, then in the Battle of Khabarovsk, the Chinese army adopted a "lateral detour" strategy (Kashbar Khabarov was the Soviet Union's
The station of the Far East Military District, the previous article wrote it as Vladivostok incorrectly).
Khabarovsk, also called Khabarovsk City, and Khabarovsk in Russian, is located on the east bank of the confluence of the Heilongjiang and Ussuri Rivers. Khabarovsk is a Chinese territory and a major military town. The Tang Dynasty established the Boli Prefecture here, and the Liao Dynasty was one of the Five Kingdoms.
The headquarters of the Qali tribe, one of the tribes, was under the jurisdiction of Hu Li Gai Road in the Jin Dynasty, under the jurisdiction of Shui Dada Road in the Yuan Dynasty, and in the Ming Dynasty it was the headquarters of Xishenwei, the governor of Nuergandu. In the early Qing Dynasty, it was under the jurisdiction of Ningguta Angbang Zhangjing (general manager)
It was under the jurisdiction of the three surnamed deputy capitals, and then under the jurisdiction of General Jilin. In 1858 (the eighth year of Xianfeng in the Qing Dynasty), the Tsarist Russian invading army occupied Khabarovsk, established a military outpost, and took the title of the leader of the Tsarist Russian invasion of Heilongjiang in the 17th century.
The city was named "Khabarovka" after Khabarov, and in 1893 it was renamed "Khabarovsk".
The Khabarovsk area was the earliest residence of the Daur tribe in China. It is rich in aquatic products and is famous for its salmon, catfish and other specialties. With the arrival of immigrants from the customs in the middle and late Qing Dynasty, a small fishing port was built here by Shandong people.
It is commonly known as "Boli Tunzi" and officially called "Boli". Boli Tun guards the mouth of the two rivers and has a very advantageous geographical location. It can reach the Sea of Japan by land to the south and the Sea of Okhotsk by water to the east. If you control this place, you will control it.
In the Far East, Tsarist Russia has coveted Khabarovsk and its surrounding areas for a long time.
After the occupation of Heilongjiang, Tsarist Russia's aggression intensified. As soon as Muravyov and Yixin signed the "Aihun Treaty", he led the Amur Cossacks to start building houses, monasteries, and churches in places such as Tulemei Mountain on the right bank of the Ussuri River, which became a widespread
Immigrated, installed forts, and set up fortress guns. At the same time, the place was named Khabarovka after Khabarov, who had renamed the place before Khabarov. In the spring of 1859, Muravyov continued to actively promote armed immigration east of the Ussuri River.
In accordance with the policy, 20 new villages and towns were established without authorization, including Bushey Village, Upper Mikhailov Village, Lower Mikhailov Village, Count Village, and Prince Village. The residential areas were built denser and denser, and more and more people moved. Outposts
Hecuntun is also located overland to Xingkai Lake.
Tsarist Russia was now only one contract away from formally annexing Khabarovsk.
In the spring of 1860, the British and French allied forces attacked Beijing, and the Manchu court fled. Ignachev, the diplomatic representative of Tsarist Russia, pretended to be a "mediator" and instigated Britain and France to continue attacking Beijing. At the same time, he "helped" those who had no time to escape and were captured.
Emperor Qi Yixin, who acted as a temporary negotiator, "rescued the siege". Yixin was forced to sign the "Beijing Treaty" with Russia. From then on, more than 400,000 square kilometers of land east of the Ussuri River were occupied by Tsarist Russia. Khabarovsk no longer belonged to Chinese territory and became
became Russian territory.
Reviewing the diplomacy of the late Qing Dynasty, we will find a strange phenomenon, that is, although Britain opened the door to China with giant ships and cannons, it was Russia that benefited the most; among the many great powers, Russia and Japan were the weakest.
But these two countries have done the most harm to China and gained the most from China.
Putting aside the geopolitical and military perspectives, there are two points that the Chinese nation should be wary of from generation to generation. First, Russia and Japan have always wanted to subjugate us. They are not trying to overthrow the Chinese government, but to subjugate the Chinese nation.
Second, corruption and cowardice are the key to the destruction of the country. In Russia in 1860, in addition to the Cossack cavalry, the army composed of Russian peasants may not be the opponent of the Green Battalion of the Qing Dynasty. If the Qing Dynasty really had a heart to resist
Due to aggressive ambitions, China's 2 million square kilometers of territory may not be lost.
Some people may say, wasn't there the "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom" who was causing chaos at that time? Yes, this is the third point worth being vigilant about: the Ming Dynasty "must first settle the internal affairs in order to fight against foreign aggression", which allowed the Manchus to enter the border, and the Zhu family lost the world
; The Qing Dynasty attacked the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom first, and "in order to fight against the outside world, we must first settle the domestic affairs." The Qing Dynasty finally lost its last vitality, and at the same time had to hand over the country to others; Chiang Kai-shek also "in order to fight against the foreign countries, we must first settle the domestic situation", which resulted in Japan's massive invasion.
At the same time, it also laid the root of Chiang Kai-shek's sad departure from the mainland.
Why are statesmen or statesmen in the past dynasties always so weak externally and so tough internally? Can it be reversed, and domestic matters resolved through negotiation, while foreign matters adopt decisions made with iron and fire?
These most profound historical lessons are worth pondering by those in power! Until later generations, such a governing concept has not been fundamentally changed.
