Beiyang reactionaries

The same goes for Burleigh.There are Far East Forestry Research Institute, Mining Research Institute, Agricultural Research Institute and Far East National Forestry Transportation Design Institute.Even Hailanpao has many research institutes, such as the All-Russian Soybean Research Institute and the Far East Veterinary Research Institute.

These places are now occupied by China.

But there are still some places that China has not occupied, that is, Komsomolsk City and the northern part of Sakhalin Island.There are also a large number of design companies and research institutes in the Soviet Union.Like Gongqingcheng, there are shipyards, aircraft factories, oil processing plants, etc., as well as a large number of design schools and scientific research institutions.The Soviet Union did not want these institutions to fall into the hands of the Chinese, so it asked China to restore the Trans-Siberian Railway so that these institutions could withdraw.

Gu Weijun analyzed the pros and cons.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Commander Molotov, there is no problem with these. During the survey of the northeast border, your agencies can completely withdraw, and we will not reject these legitimate requests. However, the specific evacuation plan still needs to be resolved." The two sides negotiated a specific solution. However, we cannot wait for your country to evacuate indefinitely, so your country must prepare an evacuation plan as soon as possible, so as not to affect our country's exercise of sovereignty over the region. "

"it is good."

"Then we will determine to start surveying the border from the east."

"Minister Gu, let's talk about your country's troops on the border. Our country believes that the two sides will soon sign a new 'border agreement', and China and the Soviet Union will enter a new journey. But your country has left so many troops on the border It is really difficult for our country to feel at ease, and it is not in line with the pursuit of peace between our two countries. Therefore, our country believes that as the negotiations between our two countries proceed, your country should slowly reduce the number of border troops."

"Commissioner Molotov, reducing the number of border troops and ending the current confrontation are also things that our country has been pursuing. But this is not something we can decide. I hope that the militaries of our two countries can negotiate separately to see how Effectively reduce border conflicts and reduce the size of the troops of both sides in border areas."

Gu Weijun did not object to this point.

After a war, the reduction of the number of troops on the border between China and the Soviet Union will benefit both countries.The general traffic conditions in border areas are not good, and the environment is relatively harsh, so it is not easy to feed the troops, and logistical supplies are very difficult.This is the situation in the Xinjiang Military Region now.

Too many troops had been gathered, and it was winter again, and the logistics were very difficult.

Although the government has worked hard, with so many troops on the front line, the logistical consumption is astonishing.If it hadn't been for the large amount of logistics supplies that had been hoarded before, half of these troops would have to starve according to the current logistics supplies.

There are too many troops in the border areas and too much military expenditure.Even for a big country like China, it is very difficult to feed an army of this size in the border areas.If the two sides in the border area can reduce the number of troops to each other, it will be beneficial to both sides.

The Soviet Union had no choice but to choose.

This time the Soviet army lost too much in the Far East and the Novosibirsk military region.In a short period of time, even the top Soviet leaders believed that it would not be able to restore the original scale within a year or two.That being the case, it is the best way for the Soviet Union to reduce the size of the border army with China.Only by reducing the size of China's troops in the border areas can the Soviet Union feel some security, otherwise the threat will be too great.

In particular, China has hoarded more than 200 million troops in the Xinjiang Military Region, and with the addition of some soldiers from the Construction Corps, the number exceeds 300 million.With so many troops eyeing Central Asia, the Soviet Union couldn't sleep at all.One day when China becomes unhappy and 200 million troops march into Central Asia, the hinterland of the Soviet Union will be threatened.

The Caucasus and Ural industrial areas may be threatened.

Even if the Chinese army didn't come in, so many troops were on the border, so the Soviet army didn't dare to be careless.And it will also affect the stability of Central Asia.Seeing so many Chinese troops in the border areas, those rebels in Central Asia will inevitably become more arrogant.

Seeing Gu Weijun's agreement without hesitation, Molotov breathed a sigh of relief.Although the Soviet Union backed down a lot this time, China did not continue to be aggressive.So Molotov said: "Minister Gu, the Far Eastern Military Region currently lacks food, shelter, and cold protection. We hope your country can help."

Molotov touches on the last question.

That is the matter of the Far Eastern Military Region.

Although China's attitude has always been very tough, it has stated that it must eliminate Zhukov's Far East Military Region troops.However, as the negotiations progressed relatively smoothly, the Northeast Military Region also slowed down its offensive pace slightly.Negotiation, compromise between each other is very important.

But even so, Zhukov couldn't stand it anymore.

Winter is really hard.

The heavy bombing by the Chinese Air Force brought great difficulties to the Far East Military Region.There are more and more people dying of starvation and freezing to death.For the Soviet Union, Zhukov's troops are heroic troops, and under such difficult circumstances, they have persisted until now.

So Moscow is very concerned about this force.

"Commissioner Molotov, I have conveyed our country's intentions. As long as the Far Eastern Military Region lays down its arms, they do not need to become prisoners. From the moment they lay down their arms, our country will provide everything they need for life. And immediately open a road for them Leave. I think according to the size of their troops, using the Trans-Siberian Railway, they should be able to return to Novosibirsk in about 50 days. That is to say, as long as they lay down their weapons now and make an evacuation plan, then before next year They can all return to Novosibirsk intact and smoothly. But if they don't lay down their arms, then we can only think that your country does not want to end the current war."

Molotov was sad.

How cruel it is to let an army of nearly 30 lay down their arms.

But there is nothing to do now, so Molotov said: "Minister Gu, as long as we reach a 'border treaty', I will let them lay down their weapons immediately. I also hope that your country can abide by our agreement."

"of course."

"Commander."

"Let's go."

On November 1939, 11, after continuous consultations, China and the Soviet Union finally reached an agreement.The two sides jointly issued the "Sino-Soviet Akmolinsk Joint Statement".The statement spread across the world in an instant.

China and the Soviet Union are both major powers in the world, and any actions between the two countries will affect the world situation.After the war broke out between China and the Soviet Union, the whole world is paying attention to this war.Now, after more than two months of fighting between China and the Soviet Union, an agreement has finally been reached, which of course attracts everyone's attention.

In the statement, China and the Soviet Union announced the abolition of those treaties signed by China and Russia after 1840.These treaties include the Sino-Russian "Aigun Treaty", the Sino-Russian "Beijing Treaty", the Sino-Russian "Record of the Northwest Boundary Survey", the Sino-Russian "Tacheng Boundary Treaty Renewal", the Sino-Russian "Ili Treaty", and the Sino-Russian "Treaty of Ili". revise the treaty".

All treaties involving territory are unequal treaties and shall be abolished.

The Soviet Union declared that the Soviet Union respected China's sovereignty and integrity, and respected China's legitimate territorial claims.China and the Soviet Union announced at the same time that after the abolition of these treaties, the two countries would organize a "Sino-Soviet Border Survey Committee" to conduct new surveys of the Sino-Soviet border.

It is planned to use 3 years to conduct a thorough survey of the border between China and the Soviet Union.

After the statement, the representatives of China and the Soviet Union, the representative of the Soviet Union was the People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs of the Soviet Union Molotov, and the representative of the Chinese side was Gu Weijun, the diplomatic adviser of the Chinese Supreme Council and the executive vice minister of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.Molotov and Gu Weijun signed the "Sino-Soviet Akmolinsk Agreement" on behalf of their respective countries.

Article [-]: Abolish the unequal treaties signed by China and Russia.

Article [-]: The two sides respect their respective sovereignty and integrity and shall not interfere in each other's internal affairs.

Article [-]: From the signing of this agreement, the two sides have entered a state of armistice.

Article [-]: The Soviet Far East Army in Khabarovsk withdraws from Khabarovsk, and China helps the Far East Army retreat.

Article [-]: The two sides exchange their respective prisoners.

Article 100: The two sides conduct border disarmament negotiations, and the total number of troops on the border of both sides will be reduced to less than [-] million within one year.

Article [-]: Resume the economic and trade negotiations between the two countries.

These are just some of the main elements of the agreement.In addition to a few important things, there are a lot of small details in the agreement.Because there are too many problems to solve.For example, after the start of border negotiations, how will the property in those places be handled?Belongs to the Soviet Union, or belongs to China.

Which ones belong to the Soviet Union and which ones belong to China.How should some Soviet institutions deal with it?How do the local people deal with it?What about their assets?

These things don't seem like a big deal, but in fact none of them are simple.

And what about the Trans-Siberian Railway built by the Soviet Union?

Many of the Trans-Siberian Railways will enter Chinese territory, how will everyone use this railway at that time.Is the Soviet Union running it, or is China running it?Or a joint operation between China and the Soviet Union?

These are all big questions.

And when China occupied the Soviet cities of Irkutsk, who was the administrative power of the cities?And those factories in these areas, whose products should be produced?Should China compensate for the loss of these factories?

It also includes that these important cities are important traffic arteries. Do you want to restore these traffic?

There are also a large number of Soviet weapons seized by China.

How to return it to the Soviet Union.

China will definitely not do it for free, but neither will the Soviet Union if the price is too high.

Many problems need to be carefully resolved, and many of them even require the participation of many departments.It is impossible for Molotov and Gu Weijun to negotiate for a few days to completely solve the problem.
