In May 1944, Ouyang Yun spent at least half of his time on the road. At the end of that month, he took a special plane transformed from the Flying Fortress and escorted by six golden eagles, first to Xi'an, and then flew from Xi'an. I went to Ulaanbaatar and attended the groundbreaking ceremony of the Genghis Khan Memorial Hall in Ulaanbaatar. Regarding the governance of Outer Mongolia, there are many calls from the State Council to implement autonomy in the area. Undoubtedly, this is also the most trouble-free and labor-saving way, because With so much ready-made experience in the autonomous region in his previous life, Ouyang Yun once thought this was a good idea. However, when he visited Chiang Kai-shek and talked about it with him, Chiang Kai-shek's words made him change his mind.
"Mongolian autonomy, do you think that all Mongolians are dogs or that the Russians are really in ruins?" When Chiang Kai-shek said these words, his voice was a bit sharp and his eyes were full of sarcasm. After becoming an empty president, Chiang Kai-shek Chiang was once so depressed that he could hardly leave home. At that time, he probably thought that even if the Xuebing Army came to power, the situation of the country and the situation of the Anti-Japanese War would not change much. But now, seeing that the victory of the Anti-Japanese War is in sight, the Chinese army has begun to Major battlefields in the world are playing a variety of roles. The old man is obviously unable to calm down. In the past, Chiang Kai-shek did not place his hope on his former generals, hoping that they could work hard to regain power. Now, because of Chen Cheng and others Basically, he no longer dared to keep in touch with him in private. After experiencing the harshness of the world, he knew that someone had to tie the bell to untie it. Finally, he no longer refused Ouyang Yun's false visits and began to truly fulfill his duties as president.
"The history of the Ming Dynasty tells us that the Mongols have always been unfed wolves. Humph, if you give them autonomy, doesn't that mean giving them a chance to make a comeback? I heard that in the Far East, despite the Su The Russian government helped evacuate the indigenous people, but there are still a lot of Soviet Russians who use force to resist China's exercise of jurisdiction. Little brother, you can't be kind to a woman. If you act like a woman now, it will cause endless troubles in the future. Heir, what do I have to say? It’s very simple. Split and immigrate to Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia. Start with Inner Mongolia. First, establish fixed settlements. Then disrupt each banner and move in an appropriate amount of Han people. Hum, If the Mongols dare to resist violently, they can send troops to suppress it once and for all. Now that the whole world is at war, the attention of the Western powers is on the Nazis, which is convenient for them to carry out thunderous tactics..."
No matter what the real purpose of Chiang Kai-shek's words were, they actually appealed to Ouyang Yun. Of course, because Ouyang Yun even lacked basic trust in Chiang Kai-shek, for the sake of caution, he still summoned his staff to discuss this matter. There was a discussion but no decision was made immediately.
"The president's analysis is still very targeted. At the very least, now is indeed the best time to solve the Mongolian issue."
"The president may not necessarily be well-intentioned. Not to mention Inner Mongolia, Outer Mongolia is really far away from the mainland, so we have to worry that the whip will not reach us."
"I don't agree with your point of view. Just because the distance is too far, we need to strengthen our control more and more. Moreover, even for the stability of the Far East, we have to strengthen our control over Outer Mongolia. If something happens in the Far East, can we control it from Outer Mongolia? Leveraging this will directly affect our ability to deal with Far East issues..."
One person is short-sighted and everyone is wise. After analysis by his staff, Ouyang Yun finally gained a deeper understanding of Chiang Kai-shek's words, and also figured out the pros and cons of splitting up the ancient Mongolia region. After a period of consideration, he finally
Decided to accept Chiang Kai-shek's proposal and implement splitting and immigration policies for the ancient Mongolia region.
As expected by his staff, this policy received collective opposition from the Mongols as soon as it was made public. In response, Ouyang Yun not only immediately transferred Ding Yi's paratrooper troops to garrison in the Outer Mongolia region, but also repeatedly requested the Mongolians.
All local governments must implement it immediately.
"The authority of the coalition government cannot be challenged. If anyone dares to disobey orders and carry out separatism, the Supreme Command will regard it as treason and will not hesitate to use force." In the note sent to all local governments in Mongolia, Ouyang Yun was unprecedentedly tough.
This explains the position of the central government.
In order to ensure that this policy is effectively implemented, the coalition government not only dispatched paratroopers to maintain force deterrence, but also took measures to strengthen the unity of people in the ancient Mongolian region. Among them, the construction of the Genghis Khan Memorial Hall in Ulaanbaatar is one of them, and Ouyang
As the top military and political leader of the current government, Yun attended the groundbreaking ceremony in person, precisely to show the coalition government's respect and attention to the ancient Mongolian region and the Mongolians.
"Genghis Khan is certainly a hero of the Mongols, but he is also a hero of China. We should see that in the historical documents of Western countries, ** is used to describe the expedition led by Genghis Khan. The Han people, the Mongols, and we
We all have yellow skin and black hair, which just shows that in the eyes of Westerners, we are one family..." At the foundation laying ceremony, Ouyang Yun interpreted the relationship between Genghis Khan and China in a somewhat far-fetched way.
Ouyang Yun was talking eloquently on the rostrum. Among the many people sitting below, Stilwell, who had chased him all the way from Chongqing, had a serious expression on his face, but he secretly cursed: "The Hanmeng family, this Ouyang Yun is so shameless.
It's really thick. In the Yuan Dynasty at that time, the Han people seemed to be the lowest ethnic group."
There was a reason for Stilwell's bad mood. The U.S. government had fulfilled its promise to support the construction of the United Nations headquarters in Guangzhou. However, when Roosevelt personally sent a telegram to Ouyang Yun asking him to fulfill his agreement to send troops to Australia, the latter did not stay at all.
Chongqing, and actually came from Mongolia, which was thousands of miles away. Stilwell chased him all the way from Chongqing to Guangzhou, then from Guangzhou to Hainan, and from Hainan to Xi'an to Ulaanbaatar. He spent most of the past six months in
After spending time on the plane, my lumbar vertebrae were aching, and I naturally couldn't be in a good mood.
"...Some people must ask why the government does this and what benefits the Mongols can get from it. Well, I will analyze it for you now..."
Ouyang Yun's analysis lasted half an hour. Half an hour later, Stilwell finally couldn't sit still. He shook his waist in an inelegant way, and then turned sideways to the American Department of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs who accompanied him.
Deputy Director Geng Bigong said: "Director Geng, please arrange for me to meet with Prime Minister Ouyang later. The Australian war situation cannot be delayed. Please, please."
When he was in Xi'an, Stilwell actually had a chance to intercept Ouyang Yun. However, he only went to the airport toilet once. As a result, when he returned to the tarmac, Ouyang Yun's landline actually took off. He was worried that Ouyang Yun would come back again.
He would leave immediately, so he could only look down and ask Geng Bigong, hoping that he could visit Ouyang Yun immediately after the ceremony.
"No problem, no problem. Foreign Minister Song personally explained it. I will do my best."
