The commander of the Far Eastern Front, General Apanashenko, is not only worried about military defense issues, but also political, ethnic, economic, and local issues.《》/《》/《》
As the commander of the front army, General Apanashenko saw clearly that the reason why the Soviet Union vigorously aided China in the War of Resistance was to avoid fighting on two fronts and to use China's persistence in the War of Resistance to contain Japan and prevent it from attacking the Soviet Union, so that the Soviet Union could free up its hands to concentrate on
Dealing with Germany. This is a national strategic issue for the Soviet Union. It is for the sake of the Soviet Union.
It was a strategy adopted to ensure the survival of the Union. This is just like the non-aggression pact signed by the Soviet Union and Germany to combat the appeasement policy of Britain and France and to defeat the British and French attempts to divert Germany's troubles eastward. Now there is a big problem, Germany actually attacks the Soviet Union.
, even Japan wants to fight against the Soviet Union. Isn’t this a strategic failure?
General Apanashenko knew that if Japan really attacked the Far Eastern Red Army, it would be in trouble, because the Western Front was eagerly waiting for the main reinforcements of the Far Eastern Red Army. This attack delayed the main force of the Far Eastern Red Army from reinforcing the Western Front.
The line is even more dangerous.
If the Japanese army launches a massive attack, the troubles will not stop there.
It had been less than 20 years since the Soviet Red Army truly liberated the Far East, and the indigenous people had not been fully integrated into the Soviet socialist family. In particular, the Russian ethnic population in the Far East was sparsely populated, with a large number of Chinese and Koreans. When the Red Army entered the Far East, it fought with the White Guards and the Japanese.
During the battle, Marshal Blyucher once mobilized and organized these Chinese and Koreans to launch attacks behind the enemy's rear, accelerating the demise of the White Guards and forcing the Japanese troops to evacuate quickly. At that time, the Red Army was
In order to solve the problem of material shortage in the Far East, and at the same time to force Japan to stop its interference in the Soviet Union through trade with China and the Soviet Union, it encouraged mainland Chinese to do business and work in the Far East, and allowed them to bring back half of their income.
As a result, there are more than 1,300 Chinese shops in Vladivostok alone, while the Russians only have 1,100 shops. Every year, there are 20 to 30 seasonal workers working from Suifenhe to Vladivostok, Khabarovsk and other places.
Thousands of people. Taxes from Sino-Soviet trade and the sweat and sweat of Chinese workers supported the economic recovery of the Far East. In order to encourage Chinese businessmen, the Red Army even allowed them to have their own armed forces. The only restriction was that they must obey the leadership of the Red Army. Just a few years later,
The Japanese army launched the September 18th Incident, and the Soviet Union's policy changed. Not only did it not help the Chinese to fight the invaders, but on the contrary, in order to avoid incurring the invasion of Japanese militarism. In addition, Zhang Xueliang launched the Middle East Road Campaign to anger
After defeating the Soviets, the Soviet Union kept a tight watch on the border defense line in the Far East. It did not allow the Chinese to use the Far East to resist Japan. The treatment of the Chinese in the Far East also underwent earth-shaking changes. Especially after the Wuhan Battle, Stalin thought that China
It is very likely that the country will be subjugated. At the same time as the purge of the Soviet army, the Chinese and Koreans in the Far East began to be purged. 150,000 Koreans were moved to Central Asia, and 300,000 Chinese were either arrested and shot, or sent to the extreme cold in Siberia.
land of hard labor.
If the Japanese army attacks the Far East, who will the remaining Chinese and Koreans help? This question deserves General Apanashenko's deep thought. Maybe the Japanese army captures a city and releases a group of criminals from prison, so that they can have more troops to attack the Soviet Union.
The revengeful troops of the Red Army.
Another problem is that if the Japanese army attacks the Red Army in the Far East, it will trigger territorial disputes. The entire Heilongjiang and Ussuli River basins south of the Xing'an Mountains, east of the Gelbiqi River and the Ergun River and to the sea will probably
It will cause disputes and may even affect the relationship between the Soviet Union and China. You must know that these areas were snatched by Tsarist Russia through unequal treaties.
Yes, the Soviet government has twice stated that it will return it to China. Of course. Now that there are powerful Far Eastern Front troops stationed and China has been at war, there is no need to return these lands to China. Once Japan and the Soviet Union go to war, if the Red Army has to
If you temporarily withdraw from these areas, it may be difficult to come back later. Unless the Soviet Red Army can defeat Germany and Japan at the same time.
The biggest problem is that once the Japanese army starts to attack, it may threaten the industrial base east of the Urals, which is the hope and foundation of the Soviet Union's victory over Nazi Germany!
General Apanashenko is a pure soldier who can think so much. But if it were those politicians, I don't know how much more they would think!
When General Apanashenko was worried, the situation in the Far East had already begun to change. While first preparing for war in the Far East to meet the Japanese army, Stalin ordered troops to be transferred from the Far East to go west for reinforcements. Because the German army was attacking quickly and fiercely, it would be impossible without reinforcements. The transferred troops
Accounting for 17% of the strength of the Far Eastern Front, including 30 aviation groups. Immediately to the south of Chita and to the south of Vladivostok
Following the discovery of the remnants of the White Russian forces, they incited the masses and carried out sabotage. General Apanashenko, who had experienced battles for a long time, naturally knew that this was all caused by the Japanese and was a prelude to the war. Therefore, General Apanashenko issued strict orders to the Far East
All units of the front army were ready for battle, and the aviation force was preparing urgently. As soon as the Japanese army launched an attack, they would immediately destroy the Kwantung Army's airfields all over Manchuria and then attack Tokyo.
On July 10, Chairman of the Soviet People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs Molotov summoned Japanese Ambassador to the Soviet Union Yoshiji Takekawa and asked why Japan wanted to destroy Japan-Soviet relations and secretly prepare for war against the Soviet Union?
Miji Takekawa explained that Japan was not conducive to damaging Japan-Soviet relations and did not secretly prepare for war against the Soviet Union. The Kwantung Army only conducted special exercises to test the results of troop training.
At this time, Mitsuji Takekawa was still lying, which made Molotov furious, saying that the Japanese had forgotten the lessons of the Zhang Gufeng incident and the Nomonhan battle, and if Japan dared to start a war, the powerful Far Eastern Front army would invade.
The Kwantung Army was completely wiped out.
The war was about to begin, and Mitsu Takekawa had strict orders not only to dare not reveal any secrets, but to achieve the purpose of deception. Therefore, Mitsu Takekawa pretended to be sincere and even told Molotov that because of the German, Italian and Japanese
The restrictions of the Triple Alliance, as a signatory country, Japan
Japan also had to make a posture to deal with the Germans. The Empire of Japan was still willing to continue negotiations on the signing of a Treaty of Friendship and Neutrality between Japan and the Soviet Union, but the Soviet Union needed to make concessions, give up its sovereignty over South Sakhalin and the Chiba Islands, and publicly recognize
Manchukuo to show sincerity.
Just two days later, Japanese Foreign Minister Admiral Toyoda Teijiro summoned the Soviet Ambassador to Japan Smetanin and clearly informed Japan that it had no intention of going to war with the Soviet Union. He proposed that Japan and the Soviet Union should sit down and conduct in-depth negotiations on the signing of the Japan-Soviet Friendship and Neutrality Treaty.
, the Soviet Union should recognize Manchukuo and make concessions on the sovereignty of South Sakhalin and Chiba Islands.
This gave Molotov the illusion that all the Japanese wanted was to recognize Manchukuo, South Sakhalin, and the Kuril Islands. This problem would be easy to solve. As long as the Japanese army could be stopped from advancing northward, it would be completely
You can satisfy the other party by signing the treaty first, and after defeating the German devils, you can then turn around and settle accounts with Japan.
After Molotov reported to Stalin, Stalin risked bombing by German planes and chaired an emergency meeting of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union to study and decide to start negotiations with Japan. The condition was that the Soviet Union recognized Manchukuo, Japan recognized Mongolia, and Japan recognized Kanto.
The army was reduced to 200,000. However, the Soviet Union would never give up its sovereignty over South Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands.
This condition is the same as the condition of the Japan-Soviet Treaty of Friendship and Neutrality signed by Matsuoka Yoyo in Moscow at lightning speed in history. It is also the bottom line of the Soviet Union.
Unexpectedly, after Molotov proposed it to the Japanese ambassador to the Soviet Union, Takekawa Mitsugi, he refused, saying that because the Soviet Union would not give up its sovereignty over the Kuril Islands and South Sakhalin, negotiations could not proceed and he could not report to the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Sakhalin is China's largest island, Sakhalin. The Soviet army now occupies the northern part. A Japanese mixed brigade occupies the southern part. The Kuril Islands are also Chinese territory and are under the jurisdiction of the Qing army stationed on Sakhalin.
, was later invaded and occupied by Tsarist Russia. As a result, Japan saw that Tsarist Russia quietly took away China’s large island bank
The island was occupied, so they came to share the spoils. The bandits and robbers were very particular about sharing half of the spoils when they met. The tsar far away in Moscow waved his furry paw and actually gave the southern part of the Kuril Islands to Japan. Later, the Russo-Japanese War broke out and Russia was defeated.
Japan and Russia signed the Treaty of Portsmouth. Russia transferred the
The southern part of Sakhalin Island and its affiliated islands were ceded to Japan, and the Southern Kuril Islands were classified as Japanese territory. The two invaders fought back and forth, but they actually used Chinese territory to trade. It is ridiculous that many young angry youths in later generations do not study history.
They were delighted that Russia was using the four northern islands to contain Japan, and took what was originally Chinese territory
I forgot everything. However, Stalin did not forget this at this time. After the Soviet Union became strong, it has been asking Japan to return the South Sakhalin Island and the Kuril Islands. Stalin's reasons are very good. The "Portsmouth Peace Treaty" was Japan's use of force.
The treaty that threatened Tsarist Russia to sign was an unequal treaty and would not be recognized by the Soviet government.
The Soviet Union has a much larger territory than Japan, a much larger population, and its national power has become much stronger in recent years. When Stalin asked Japan to return South Sakhalin and the Kurile Islands, the Japanese felt pressure. It was natural to raise this issue at this time.
Problem.
It turns out that Miji Takekawa's predecessor, Togo Shigenoku, had secret negotiations with the Soviet Union. Because the Soviet Union proposed sovereignty claims for South Sakhalin Island and the Kuril Islands, the negotiations were unsuccessful. Historically, it was the Japan-Soviet Treaty of Friendship and Neutrality signed by Yoyo Matsuoka and the Soviet Union.
The issue of sovereignty of South Sakhalin Island and the Kuril Islands was not involved.
The situation is stronger than the people. At this time, Japan raised the sovereignty issue of South Sakhalin Island and Kuril Islands, which really hit the Soviet Union's weakness.
The Soviets understood Mitsu Takekawa's attitude very well. Wasn't it just relying on the German army to blitz the Soviet Union and threaten it?
Stalin was too eager to stabilize the situation in the Far East and to avoid a two-front war. He told the members of the Politburo that as long as the German devils were defeated, it was only a matter of time before Japan could be dealt with. Therefore, the issues of South Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands could be put on hold for the time being.
, recognizing the status quo of the Japanese occupation and waiting to resolve the issue after the Germans are defeated.
Molotov negotiated with Mitsugi Takekawa based on this spirit. This time, Mitsugi Takekawa still insisted that it be clearly stated that the sovereignty of South Sakhalin Island and the Kuril Islands belonged to Japan.
Molotov enlightened Miji Takekawa and said that not writing it in the treaty is tantamount to acquiescence. The Japanese army actually controls these two places, which is tantamount to actual occupation. Why must it be written so clearly?
Takekawa Mitsu quit and insisted on writing, but the negotiations could no longer proceed.
Takekawa Mitsuji just couldn't figure it out. Countries rely on their strength to speak for themselves. A treaty is useless. Germany also signed a non-aggression treaty with the Soviet Union. Doesn't that mean it should be torn up?
Takekawa Mitsuji was using the "drag" tactic. The purpose of repeated entanglement was to paralyze and deceive the Soviet Union and buy time for the Kwantung Arms War. Since then, Takekawa Mitsuji had to repeatedly ask Tokyo for instructions on any issue, and they discussed it for several times.
There was no result at all.
Later, the Soviets were so cruel that they prepared to write in the treaty that they would no longer claim sovereignty over South Sakhalin Island and the Kurile Islands. Mitsuji Takekawa also proposed that Japan could not recognize Mongolia because Mongolia had been the territory of the Qing Dynasty since ancient times.
, this is irrefutable
The Treaty of Friendship and Neutrality between Japan and the Soviet Union should make it clear that Mongolia belongs to Manchukuo and is governed by the Emperor of Manchukuo, His Majesty Aisin Gioro Puyi. If Japan recognizes Mongolia, it will affect the political situation of the five-ethnic republic of Manchukuo and lead to the conflict between Manchukuo and Manchukuo.
Japan's relationship breaks down.
Molotov looked at the little devil in front of him who pretended to be righteous but was full of bad intentions. He wanted to kick him to death, but he had to deal with him.
Molotov accused Mitsu Takekawa of not being sincere. People all over the world know what Manchukuo is, but Mongolia is the path of liberation chosen by the Mongols themselves. If Japan is not sincere, there is no need to negotiate anymore. As long as
Not afraid of failure, the Kwantung Army marched north to attack the Red Army and let the Red Army's tank clusters speak to the Kwantung Army.
As soon as Molotov finished speaking, Miji Tatekawa retorted calmly, saying that the Far East Red Army should be mobilized to defend Moscow as soon as possible. If it is too late, it will be too late. The German tanks may be approaching the city of Moscow.
This meant that the negotiation was about to break down. Molotov also saw through the face of little Japan, so he walked away and reported to Stalin.
Miji Takekawa looked at Molotov's leaving figure with a greedy smile in his eyes.
Time is wasted day by day like this.
On the night of July 25, the Japanese Combined Fleet secretly arrived at Zhanshou Island in the Japanese-controlled Kuril Islands. This was the historical starting point for the Japanese Combined Fleet to launch a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor.
The commander of the Far Eastern Front, General Apanashenko, was not a naval general, and the Soviet Navy did not have an aircraft carrier. The plan to build an aircraft carrier was still in the minds of the leaders. Therefore, General Apanashenko had no concept of aircraft carrier operations in his mind.
.The order he gave to the Pacific Fleet of the Soviet Red Army was to encircle the Far East coastline.
The focus is to encircle Vladivostok, Khabarovsk and other important ports. In his opinion, as long as enough mines are laid, Japanese warships will never get close to Vladivostok. Even if the Japanese warships break through the interception network of Pacific Fleet surface ships, submarines and mines, they can attack Vladivostok.
Even with Vladivostok's powerful fortifications and defensive artillery fire, the Japanese army would never be able to capture Vladivostok.
Something shocking happened to General Apanashenko!
