Perhaps due to some scruples about the US and British military delegations in Harbin, several expatriate leaders were not directly taken away in handcuffs like the Belarusian leaders who had been targeted by the Soviets for a long time. Instead, they were accompanied by ordinary expatriates. Take a train together to return to the Soviet Union
In fact, as early as the handover of the first batch of White Russians, it had already attracted the attention of the American and British military delegation stationed in the Anti-Japanese War. After all, the White Russians all over the streets of Harbin suddenly disappeared without a trace, which could not have attracted the attention of other parties. , and currently in great need of Western aid, they do not want to offend the Soviets in the United States and Britain too much.
When handing over this group of expatriates, under the reminder of the Anti-Japanese Federation, they did it less openly and more cryptically. Not only did the handover take place at night, but the transfer back to the country was also only on an ordinary freight train. An ordinary passenger car was added.
Although the development of things was not as complicated as Yang Zhen and Li Yanping expected at first, the subsequent development of things was exactly according to Li Yanping's judgment. Among those Belarusian families whose men were taken away, during the war or At the end of the war, almost all of them received death notices from their family members who were forcibly sent back to their country to serve the country.
But the Soviets sent all the young Belarusian men back to the Soviet Union, and they were basically wiped out during the war. Of course, this ending was inseparable from the cruel environment on the Soviet-German battlefield, let alone this Those unreliable elements in the eyes of the Soviets, even those staunch Soviet personnel, suffered heavy casualties.
Of course, this result is closely related to the fact that the Soviet Union often sent these Belarusian troops to the most dangerous direction with the highest casualty rate, and the plan to consciously consume these people on the battlefield also played a considerable role.
On the battlefield of Stalingrad, which suffered the most casualties and was also the most brutal, which later generations called the meat grinder, these White Russians who were forcibly sent back to the country to participate in the war finally perished completely. After the war, they were completely razed to the ground. Among the ruins of the flat city.
These troops, composed of Belarusian expatriates who returned home, have been fighting under the machine guns of the Soviet Ministry of Internal Affairs' supervising troops due to unreliability and other reasons. Most of these Belarusian dead died either on the battlefield or in the field. At gunpoint from his own men.
As for the whereabouts of the repatriated expatriates from the three Baltic countries, it has become a mystery that will never be solved. After these people returned to the Soviet Union, no one knew their whereabouts, and no one saw them again. The White Russians who were so scrupulous about being repatriated became a big worry for Yang Zhen decades later.
What kind of situation will these Belarusians encounter after returning to China? This is a problem that Yang Zhen has not had time to worry about, let alone worry about. For Yang Zhen and the Anti-League, there are a large number of people living in Harbin and northern Manchuria. In Belarus, sooner or later, a boil is going to show up. Now it is better to show up early than to show up later.
These Belarusians are not only against the Soviet Union, but also the Anti-Japanese Alliance. I am afraid they treat them equally in their eyes. Moreover, if those guys in Belarus with Soviet background cause any trouble, it will be more difficult to deal with it. If you are passive, you might as well take advantage of this opportunity and simply ask them to leave.
In fact, if these White Russians can be sent to a third country, it would be a better ending in Yang Zhen's opinion. After all, no one really wants to expect them to die after knowing their rough ending after returning to the country. A warrior is not a butcher.
However, in the situation where foreign communications are still dependent on the Soviets at least for now, the Soviets put forward such a request that does not harm their fundamental interests. There is no other choice for Yang Zhen, even if the Soviets agree to let them transfer the third Three countries, but the communication lines are in the hands of the Soviets, and there is basically no possibility that these people can leave safely through the Soviet Union.
The Soviets have always been able to eradicate the Soviet Union as long as their hands are long enough. They will not let these staunch anti-Soviet elements in their eyes leave their sight alive and go to other countries to continue to oppose them, even if they are The Soviets promised to let them go to a third country, and a country already agreed to accept it. The Soviets would still eradicate them on the way.
Under the huge pressure from the Soviets and the urgent need for technical personnel, these Belarusians and other expatriates who were considered Soviets by the Soviets were handed over to the Soviet Union for the purpose of assisting the Anti-Japanese Alliance. In other words, it was a helpless choice, but the Anti-League adopted some tactful tactics during the handover in order to avoid pressure from the West, or to shift the disaster eastward.
It's just that the difference between this approach and the approach of directly transferring these White Russians to the Soviet Union is that one has openly gone to sea to become a prostitute, while the other wants to be a prostitute and build a memorial arch. The difference is not even fifty. It doesn't matter if you laugh every step of the way. Since the Anti-Japanese Alliance has no time to argue with the Soviets on this matter, in fact, it's okay not to use the fig leaf at the end.
As for self-deception, Yang Zhen is still well aware of this. In this matter, he does not want to cause any trouble to the Anti-Japanese Alliance and himself. Now he does not have the strength or the capital to do anything that is not related to the Anti-Resistance Alliance. to confront the Soviets head-on on the details of the Union's survival and development.
Regardless of the fact that the Soviets are now stuck in the quagmire of war, losing every battle and losing troops and equipment that would have been completely lost in any other country, but if they really want to move themselves, they will deploy in Siberia and Although most of the troops in the Far East were transferred, after painstaking recruitment on the spot, the total strength was restored to more than 400,000 garrison troops.
It is not impossible to make oneself lose sovereignty, but it is not impossible to do it. The Soviets have done a lot of things like adding insult to injury or betraying their trust since the outbreak of World War II. Poland, Finland, and the three Baltic countries have all learned from their mistakes, and there is no such thing now. Yang Zhen doesn't have enough strength and doesn't want to fight on both sides.
As long as it does not affect his own planned plan, he will actually give in most of the time. However, once it involves his planned plan or the situation of the Anti-Japanese War, Yang Zhen will not even take a step. To give in, he used all means to cause trouble secretly, hoping to make the situation as chaotic as possible.
Although they know that they are walking a tightrope now, for Yang Zhen and even the entire Anti-League, they have to walk on this tightrope no matter the danger, because for them, there is no other choice. On one side is a greedy polar bear. , on one side is a ferocious but equally greedy Japanese wolf, and the United States and Britain behind it are difficult to deal with.
We must seize this rare opportunity and do our best to develop ourselves, but we must not be devoured by these allies and enemies who harbor evil intentions and come back with open guns and secret arrows. Some things may be a threat to the future. The burden may even bring infamy, but now it is an opportunity.
So in this matter, although Yang Zhen couldn't bear it, he knew that he didn't have many choices in this matter. Returning these Belarusians to the Soviet Union, no matter how much benefit it would bring to the Soviet Union, he would not I know, but for the Anti-League, the advantages always outweigh the disadvantages.
Compared with those from Belarus, the more than 100 expatriates from the three Baltic countries who were forcibly repatriated were the smallest in number, but they became a worry that he would not let go of decades later. However, under the influence of the post-war international situation, He had no way and could not ask the Soviets to provide the whereabouts of these people.
However, Li Yanping was not clear about these thoughts of his. After Li Yanping, who hurried back to continue negotiating with the Soviets, left, Yang Zhen looked at his back and was silent for a long time without speaking. He just sighed secretly in his heart. Tongue, some things are not as simple as these simple comrades imagine.
Sometimes the struggles of our own people are even more cruel. For some things, knowing that there may be some articles in them, but still pretending not to know is the best way to solve them. You may change the rut of history. But Yang Zhen is not sure whether it can change the fate of some people.
In fact, no matter whether he is the commander-in-chief or his old partner, no matter what kind of work he is doing now, whether it is local work or military work, he has not broken away from the unique and straight-forward nature of the military, and this Perhaps it is their character that is difficult to change in their lifetime.
If we say that among the people who actually hold power in the entire Northeast, only Guo Bingxun is more sensitive to politics. Except for military issues, the remaining political acumen is slightly stronger. Both the commander-in-chief and Li Yanping are the kind of people who cannot keep up with the political situation.
It's not that they don't have a long-term vision, but they still don't have a clear view of some things, and they are still too naive in terms of political struggle. They are a little tighter now, but they will cause themselves a lot less trouble in the future, and this The trouble is not just the war period, but also the political struggles of perhaps decades to come.
Although Guo Bingxun is far more sensitive to politics than the other two, he has chosen to remain silent and evasive on many political issues. For Guo Bingxun, he always knows very clearly. , which things you can participate in, and which things it is better to stay out of.
Sometimes Yang Zhen also thinks that for a soldier like Guo Bingxun who wants to be a pure soldier, his innate political sensitivity may not be a good thing, because it will undoubtedly limit him in many aspects. The display of his talents also made him worry too much about gains and losses many times.
Yang Zhen always believed that there is nothing wrong with the statement that war always serves politics in the end, but soldiers and politicians can only be two railroad tracks that will never cross. If you want to be a real soldier, you cannot get into contact with politics. Soldiers who are too politically sensitive often find it difficult to become a true military strategist.
In fact, Yang Zhen also smiled bitterly in his heart. At the same time, he asked himself more than once, if he didn't have some "secrets", would his character be like theirs? It would be difficult to change. If this character could be Change, that night I knew that some departments were deficient in calcium, and re-enacting a modern version of the officialdom would put pressure on the troops, so I would not take action.
After thinking for a long time, Yang Zhen shook his head. He couldn't figure out whether he was still the same person he was before. If he had regarded these words as the self-deprecation of those in high positions, So now that he is in a high position, he realizes the true meaning of this sentence.
And now Yang Zhen also feels that he is becoming less and less like a real soldier. When it comes to handling the transfer of Belarus to the Soviet Union, he feels that in some aspects, he is becoming more and more like a man who calculates gains and losses all day long. A politician, or a somewhat shameless businessman who will do anything for profit. This book was first published on 17K Novel Network, and you can read the original content immediately!
