Beiyang reactionaries

He said to the person sitting next to him: "Write down everything just now. Everything we saw along the way must be written down in detail. No exaggeration, no reduction, just what it is."

"Yes."

"Chairman, the negotiations in Moscow have broken down, and Molotov has rejected our proposal."

"It seems that it can only be fought."

The border negotiations between China and the Soviet Union have been going on for three months, and so far there has been no progress.Because the Soviet Union had no intention of retreating, it firmly rejected China's request.Regarding China's intention to abolish 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", the Sino-Russian "Revise the treaty", the Soviet Union has only one answer, and that is impossible.

Because it is impossible for the Soviet Union to agree.

Let’s talk about the Outer Northeast first.

If the Soviet Union lost its outer northeast, then the Soviet Union's Far East outlet would be gone.The rest of the Far East land has become tasteless.There were few places where people could live in the Far East of the Soviet Union, and it was a barren land.Of these barren places, the Outer Northeast is the best place.Many important cities of the Soviet Union in the Far East are in the Outer Northeast that China now wants.

Such as Khabarovsk, the Russian name is Khabarovsk, which is currently the largest city in the Far East.There is also Vladivostok, the Russian name is Vladivostok, which is the sea outlet of the Far East of the Soviet Union and an important port city in the Far East.And Komsomolsk, a city built by Russia in the Far East, has the most schools, scientific research institutions, factories and the like in the Far East.As well as Hailanpao, the Russian name is Blagoveshchensk, the largest shipbuilding city in the Far East of the Soviet Union.Gunboats, small destroyers and submarines owned by the Russian Far East Fleet are built here.These places belong to the Outer Northeast that China wants.

In the Far East of the Soviet Union, without these cities, there would be nothing.

The same goes for the Outer Northwest.

The Outer Northwest is a great place.The outer northwest has very rich water resources, which can even help the current Xinjiang region.The allocation of water resources in the outer northwest can even make many places in Xinjiang have good development value.It is not nonsense to make "Jiangnan" in Xinjiang.

Of course it's not just that.

The outer northwest includes the Ili River Valley, the Outer Ili River Valley, the Chu River Valley, the Talas River Valley and many other valley areas, all of which are very suitable places for human life.Just this Yili River Valley can support more than [-] million people.

Adding those other river valleys, there is no problem in being able to feed a population of more than 2000 million.If the water in the outer northwest can be used to develop Xinjiang, it is possible for Xinjiang to feed more than 6000 to [-] million people.

In addition to the fact that the outer northwest is really good, its strategic location is also quite good.First of all, it includes the Kyrgyz mountains and the Pamirs, which are natural barriers.As long as China controls here, it can easily build a solid line of defense here.

And there is the Wakhan Corridor.

Greatly expand the connection between China and Afghanistan.In fact, to put it bluntly, once China has the outer northwest, then China will have a natural barrier to defend the Soviet Union.At the same time, China can have direct access to Central Asia.

When the Soviet Union disintegrates, China can directly influence Central Asia.One is the Wakhan Corridor, the other is the Darak region, China controls these two points, Central Asia and even the Middle East, it all depends on China's face.

So how could the Soviet Union agree.

If the Outer Northeast and Outer Northwest are lost, plus the Tangnu Ulianghai currently controlled by China, it can be said that China has directly pointed the dagger at the waist of the Soviet Union.The entire Far East of the Soviet Union is in a state of trepidation.How could the Soviet Union agree.

"Ren Chao (Li Jishen), do you think we are really ready?"

Duan Xun has not called Li Jishen for a long time.

Li Ji was taken aback for a moment, but quickly said firmly: "Teacher, we have already made all the preparations we can. Even for the worst possible outcome, we have already made contingency plans. It's up to people to make things happen. We did everything we could."

Because there are only Duan Xun and Li Jishen.

Duan Xun directly called Li Jishen's "character", and Li Jishen called Duan Xun "teacher" just like many years ago.It can be said that two people haven't talked face to face like this for a long time.

"Easy to say."

Duan Xun said with a long sigh: "This is our best chance, and it is also our last chance. But if we fail, although I don't believe we will fail, but if some unpredictable things happen, it will be a blow to our country. It’s not a little bit. Our hard work of more than 20 years may be destroyed in one day. So I have to be nervous and cautious. Do you understand?”

"Teacher, I understand."

Li Ji deeply understands Duan Xun's pressure.

Duan Xun's current prestige in China is ridiculously high. In the eyes of many people, Duan Xun has begun to be deified. Duan Xun is a god.Of course, this kind of deification has the people's party, including the propaganda department's intentional or unintentional propaganda, to improve Duan Xun's status to improve the status of the people's party and the authority of the government.But it also has something to do with what Duan Xun has done over the years.

The end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China was a very special era.

An era that completely trampled the self-esteem of Chinese scholars under their feet.The era of the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China was an era in which China was constantly ravaged by foreign powers and foreigners were rampant.Moreover, it was an era when domestic warlords were fighting in chaos, the people were in dire straits, and human lives were not as good as dogs.And Duan Xun is the government leader who rose under such circumstances and led China for 20 years.

If nothing has changed, then of course nothing.

But since Duan Xun entered Beijing, or Duan Xun had a very good reputation among Chinese scholars before he entered Beijing.When Duan Xun entered Beijing, he abandoned one treaty after another that made Chinese scholars feel ashamed.

Duan Xun abolished those indemnities, canceled those concessions, recovered the customs, developed China's national economy, and developed China's industry.And to expand the territory, the real expansion of the territory.Duan Xun took back those lands lost in the late Qing Dynasty one by one.

Outer Mongolia, Tangnu Wulianghai, Hulunbeier, and Hong Kong and Macao that were recently taken back, also took back southern Tibet and Dalac from the United Kingdom.It can be said that with Duan Xun, China was able to keep a large amount of territory.If these sites add up to nearly 200 million square kilometers, that is to say, Duan Xun has preserved nearly 200 million kilometers of land for China. No one can compare to such feats in the past hundred years.

If in ancient times, these achievements are enough to be known as "one emperor through the ages".

Besides, Duan Xun's support for Chinese education is not comparable to those in the past.During the 20 years of Duan Xun's reign, the illiteracy rate in China has been greatly reduced, and the education popularization rate has been greatly improved.And China's university education is getting better and better.

This is how Duan Xun's deification came step by step.

Duan Xun is now the chairman of the People's Party, the chairman of the Supreme Committee, and the chairman of the Military Commission. It can be said that the party, government and army are all in one.Many people deified Duan Xun, but put pressure on Duan Xun instead.

In a word, the deified Duan Xun cannot lose.

"Teacher, we have really done our best. And in the current war, the competition is the comprehensive national strength, and the competition is the industrial strength. Even if some unpredictable things happen to us, with our country's current industrial production capacity, the production of weapons and equipment We can also quickly make up for some loopholes. I know that the teacher is most worried about Xinjiang, but I think we can rest assured. In terms of the size of the army and the production capacity of weapons and equipment, we absolutely crush the Soviet Union. Fighting consumption, the Soviet Union can't fight us."

What Li Jishen said was a little cruel.

But a fact was revealed.That is, China and the Soviet Union are at war, and fighting to consume the Soviet Union is not China's opponent.This consumption includes the consumption of the army, including the consumption of weapons and equipment.

In terms of population, the Soviet Union has a population of less than [-] million.China has a population of [-] million, and its population size is more than four times that of the Soviet Union.And compared to China, most of the population of the Soviet Union is in Europe.In the Far East, they don't have much population at all.Fighting the population, the same casualties may be just flesh and blood wounds for China, but it may be a bone-shaking injury for the Soviet Union.

It's cruel to say that, but that's the reality.

Similarly, tens of millions of casualties, China will not have too many problems, that is, it will be slightly affected, and it will be able to recover in a short time.But if the Soviet Union suffered tens of millions of casualties, it would deal a great blow to the Soviet Union.

Moreover, China's industrial strength crushed the Soviet Union.

Not to mention anything else, the most important steel production in China is twice that of the Soviet Union.At present, the annual steel output of the Soviet Union is only about 1500 million tons, but China's steel output has reached 3000 million tons.Even the oil production that the Soviet Union was proud of, China surpassed the Soviet Union.Even with regard to oil refining technology, the Soviet Union is not China's opponent.

Not to mention the others.

In terms of power generation, coal production, and automobile production, the Soviet Union is far from China's opponent in these aspects.

Under such circumstances, the war between two industrial countries is a kind of meat grinder.Continuously develop industries and produce one murder weapon after another.It depends on who produces more weapons faster.In this regard, the Soviet Union is not even China's opponent.

Therefore, there may be some accidents on the battlefield, but as long as the fight continues, the Soviet Union cannot be China's opponent.

"Ah."

Duan Xun also fought in war and saw dead people.

Although Duan Xun knew that the casualties in the current war were not at all the casualties that Duan Xun had when the warlords were fighting.In the war now, Duan Xun is ready for millions of casualties.Possibly even more.

But there is no way.

This is the war now.

Thousands of planes, thousands of tanks, and thousands of cannons. In a war of this scale, heavy casualties are inevitable.Duan Xun is not a sentimental person when he succeeds in everything.
