"Do not."

Gu Weijun shook his head.

What the Soviet Union thought was very beautiful, but there are no such good things.

Therefore, he immediately retorted: "I am very pleased that your country accepts our country's conditions and abolishes those unequal treaties. I also very much agree that China and the Soviet Union should re-establish a new 'boundary treaty'. But I do not agree that the two sides go back to before the war We should respect the actual situation. On the basis of reality, it is most appropriate to conduct new border surveys. You must know that most of the places occupied by our soldiers are on the territory that should belong to our country. Compared with the future border After the reconnaissance, it is better to maintain the status quo and conduct reconnaissance on the basis of the status quo. If our country occupies the territory of the Soviet Union, we can withdraw it at that time. Our country has stated long ago that our country will never invade other countries. It will take a piece of the other country's land."

Spit out what you eat?

What a joke.

Want to play procrastination?

Seeing Gu Weijun's attitude, Molotov immediately changed the subject and said, "Minister Gu, let's keep this for now, let's talk about other things."

"Minister Gu, let's put this issue aside and talk about other issues."

"can."

Negotiations involve many things.

If you can't agree on one issue, then discuss other issues.After everyone has reached an agreement on other issues, we can continue to discuss this issue later. This is a normal negotiation procedure.Of course, this is only for some negotiable terms.If it's something neither side can budge from, then it's impossible to get around it.The reason why the previous negotiations between China and the Soviet Union were ineffective is because the core issues could not be reached.

In the negotiations between China and the Soviet Union, there is only one core thing.That is the unequal treaty that China wants to abolish, will the Soviet Union accept it or not?This is the core thing in this negotiation, and it is something that cannot be bypassed at all.

The other clauses all revolve around this.

As long as the Soviet Union makes concessions on this issue, as long as it agrees to China's conditions on this issue, then other issues surrounding this issue can be discussed, and some concessions are possible.Because the abolition of those unequal treaties is the core of the Sino-Soviet negotiations.

Once the main contradiction is resolved, the remaining secondary contradictions will not have too many problems.

"Our country hopes that your country will immediately stop contact with other ethnic groups in the Far East and Central Asia, and that your country will not interfere in our internal affairs."

Funny thing.

China signed the "Anti-Comintern Pact" with Germany, Italy, and Japan back then, on the grounds that the Communist International interfered in the internal affairs of other countries.China has criticized the Communist International in a high-profile manner, and criticized the Soviet Union for using the Communist International to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries.

However, during the negotiations between China and the Soviet Union, Molotov's request was that China not interfere in the internal affairs of the Soviet Union.

The Soviet Union mainly aimed at the peoples of the Far East and Central Asia.The Far East is due to limited development, so the population of the Far East is limited.On the vast land, most of the scattered people are ethnic minorities in the form of tribes.

Many places in the Far East are as large as a province in China, with a population of only a few thousand people.And these thousands of people lived in the tribal mode in the early years.Even now that the Soviet Union has occupied the Far East, these local ethnic groups have settled in the form of tribes.

Such tribes are not rare.The ethnic groups in the Far East themselves are mainly descendants of Mongolia and Tatars, mainly descendants of some nomadic peoples.It has no relationship with the Russians at all, and has even had many wars with the Russians in modern times.

The same is true for Central Asia.The ethnic groups here are also a group of ethnic groups with completely different beliefs, history, and culture from the Russians.Here are the descendants of Mongolia, Turks, and Arabs who migrated westward, combined with local aborigines.

They are all completely different from the Russians, and their incitement will directly affect local stability.This is actually what the Soviet Union is most worried about.

"Commissioner Molotov, you really wronged our country in this regard. Our country has issued a statement a long time ago that our country only wants to abolish the unequal treaties imposed on our country. And what our country has always advocated is to oppose interference in the internal affairs of other countries. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of our country once put forward seven diplomatic principles, the third of which is against interfering in the internal affairs of other countries. Therefore, I think such accusations by Commissioner Molotov are unfair."

Has China secretly encouraged those peoples from the Far East or Central Asia?

some.

What do China's security agencies do? Many of them do this kind of work.Get in touch with some powerful ethnic groups in the Far East and Central Asia, and encourage them to oppose the Soviet Union's land policy, oppose the Soviet Union's economic policy, and cause trouble for the Soviet Union.

And support them with money and weapons.

As for some people who take the initiative to buy weapons and equipment, China will not stop them.

But China will not openly admit this kind of thing.

Among the seven principles of China's diplomacy formulated by Duan Xun himself, it is very clear that China opposes interference in the internal affairs of other countries.Even China uses this diplomatic principle to criticize some countries for wantonly interfering in other countries' internal affairs, including criticizing those colonists.

China's support for Japan's actions in Southeast Asia in the early years was also based on this principle.

"Minister Gu, if I have misunderstood your country, then I am here to apologize to your country. Recently, whether it is the Far East or Central Asia, a lot of weapons and ammunition have flowed in, which has greatly affected the security environment here. It may also flow in from your country. If there is such a situation, I hope your country can restrict the circulation of weapons and ammunition."

Gu Weijun denied it outright, and Molotov couldn't do anything about it.

Although he knew that this matter was Chinese rascal, Molotov did not have conclusive evidence.And today is to negotiate, not to quarrel.Molotov also did not want to affect the subsequent negotiations because of this incident.

So I just gave a brief warning, and I hope China will not do it too blatantly.

"Commissioner Molotov, don't worry. Our country strictly controls guns and ammunition. If it really flows from our country to the Far East and Central Asia, then our country will definitely take measures to stop this from happening."

"Then, on behalf of the Soviet Union, I would like to thank your country for your support."

Hypocritical diplomat.

Both are the same.He clearly knew what was going on, but he still had to maintain his demeanor on the surface.

"Minister Gu, then I want to talk about the captives. In this war, our country has a large number of captives in the hands of your country's military. Our country hopes that your country can release these captives so that they can go home and reunite."

"this is necessary."

Gu Weijun nodded.

Dao: "Our country has such a tradition since ancient times. Especially since the chairman of the Supreme Committee of our country led troops to fight, our army has a policy of captives. Treat captives well. If captives want to go home, they will pay travel expenses and let them go freely. The captive policy of the Chairman of the Supreme Council of our country when leading troops. As long as our two countries sign the 'Boundary Treaty' to end this war, then we will return those prisoners to your country in full."

"Minister Gu, can your country release these captives first, so that the negotiation can go smoothly."

"Commissioner Molotov, before our two countries reach a formal agreement, our two countries are still in a state of war, and the war is not over. Have you seen when, when the war between the two countries is not over, one side has already started to release prisoners Yes. I think we cannot agree to your request. But I can guarantee that as long as our two countries sign a new 'boundary treaty', then our country will immediately return the prisoners."

Literal.

The two sides began to confront each other non-stop around many issues.

The Soviet Union lost the war. Anyway, it is difficult to change the passive situation in the Far East and Xinjiang in a short period of time.So the Soviet Union is currently willing to take a step back, but the Soviet Union also has requirements for China.Including that China should not continue to disrupt the order in the Far East and Central Asia, as well as the issue of those captives, as well as those weapons and equipment seized by China.

The problem of captives is not small here.

China captured more than one million Soviet soldiers in the Far East and Xinjiang.These are all Soviet troops, and the Soviet Union certainly hopes that they can come back.This is not one or two people, but more than 100 million people.No matter how angry Stalin was, so many prisoners still needed to be returned.

But China's attitude is simple.

The captives were released only when the war was over.If you want the war to end, you must sign the "Boundary Treaty".They are still fighting now, and if they are released, it is not a disease.

"Minister Gu, can the Far East Military Region stop the war?"

"If the Soviet Union can announce the abolition of those unequal treaties, then our country can make some concessions. That is, the troops of the Far East Military Region of your country lay down their weapons, and we will make way for them to leave the Far East by providing trains. But Hailanpao and Khabarovsk , that is, Blagoveshchensk and Khabarovsk must be handed over to the Chinese army.”

"Minister Gu, your country's request is too much. We still have nearly 30 troops in the Far East Military Region. It is unacceptable for you to ask them to hand over their weapons and surrender."

"Commissioner Molotov, I think both of us are well aware of the actual situation of the Far Eastern Military Region. Even if our army does not attack Khabarovsk now, as long as our country traps Khabarovsk, then your country's Far Eastern Military Region will be fine." But this winter. We don’t want to see your country’s army continue to suffer more casualties under cold and hungry conditions, so there is such a suggestion. We can end the war there decently. We don’t want them Surrender, we just let them leave. When we capture Khabarovsk, their status will become prisoners. This should be more difficult for your country to accept."

Gu Weijun confronted each other.
