Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Gu Weijun said he was busy with the five-year plan, but he only stayed in Beijing for two days and rushed to Harbin again on the 12th.  The Sino-Soviet negotiations are still ongoing, and the current negotiations have reached a deadlock.  The Soviet Union would rather give up some land in the northwest to keep Vladivostok.  After all, Stalin did not want to lose the ice-free port that generations of people had been pursuing.

    China also refuses to give in. The value of land in the northwest is naturally not as good as that in the northeast.  Zhang Anle of Vladivostok also wants to take it back. With Vladivostok, China can achieve a strategic semi-encirclement of Japan and take the initiative in the future Sino-Japanese war.

    In view of this situation, Zhang Anle decided to let Stalin know his determination. After the military parade, he sent the First Division, the Second Division, the Third Division, and the Fourth Division to the Northeast.  The Bohai Fleet also moved to Vladivostok and began patrolling the waters bounded by the Pacific Ocean.

    After receiving the news, Stalin was helpless in the face of Zhang Anle's threat of force. He knew that the Soviet Union would still lose if he continued to fight.  The only solution now was to agree to the Chinese conditions, and to work hard and wait for the country to become stronger, and then seize back these lands. Stalin, who was determined, instructed the Soviet delegation to make some concessions.

    Once the Soviet representatives relented on the Vladivostok issue, the negotiations went much more smoothly.  Zhang Anle, who had secured Vladivostok, was also willing to make some concessions on the issue of northwest China and compensation.

    After another two days of negotiation, the Soviet representatives finally agreed to sign the Harbin Treaty.

    The main contents of the Harbin Treaty can be summed up very simply.

    The Soviet Union completely handed over the Middle East Railway to China.

    The Soviet Union promised that all treaties signed with China in the old Russian era would be unequal treaties and would no longer have the effect of treaties.

    The Soviet Union will include Sakhalin Island, the south of the Outer Hinggan Mountains, the north of Heilongjiang, and the east of the Ussuri River.  A total of more than 1 million square kilometers of territory was returned to China.  People who currently live in this area have the right to continue to live in this area, but they must abide by Chinese laws and pay taxes to China.

    The Soviet Union recognizes that the territory it currently occupies from northwest China is owned by China and will be resolved through consultation based on the principle of friendship between the two sides.

    It can be said that except for China¡¯s demand for compensation, the Soviet Union agreed to almost everything.

    "Why don't we take back the northwest as well?" Wang Shuyi was a little puzzled when she learned that Zhang Anle was not willing to take back the northwest for the time being.

    "We'll talk about it later. I don't know how Stalin will react if he wants to return all these territories at once. If he jumps over the wall in a hurry, it won't be a good thing for us. Besides, that place in the northwest is too chaotic. Even Xinjiang is no longer there  In our hands, even if we take it back, the gains will outweigh the losses. When the country becomes stronger again, the northwest will naturally have to be taken back, but not now." Zhang Anle did not expect Wang Shuyi to care about these issues. She rarely discussed politics with herself.  on things.

    "These news have been in the newspapers recently. I only asked you these things after reading the newspapers." As if she could see the doubts in her husband's heart, Wang Shuyi explained softly.

    "Haha, everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country. There is nothing wrong with you caring about these things. Besides, you are my wife, so there is no harm in caring more about these things." Zhang Anle was also afraid that Wang Shuyi would misunderstand, so he said with a smile.

    "Eat quickly. It will get cold later." Wang Shuyi was happy to see that Zhang Anle was not unhappy.

    The episode that happened before breakfast had no impact on Zhang Anle. He said that letting Wang Shuyi know more about politics would not only ease her heart.  Her identity determines that she cannot be a political idiot. Proper understanding is necessary, and it is also necessary to prevent her from interfering at that time.

    Zhang Anle, who has achieved his goal, is very satisfied with this treaty.  As for the $1 million compensation, he mentioned it just to disgust Stalin.  1 million is not a drop in the bucket for him, it can be considered a drop in the bucket.  Since the territory in the northwest has not been reached yet, it is normal for the Soviets not to want to return it.  Sooner or later I have to come back.

    As a leader who likes dictatorship and centralization, Stalin believed that the signing of the Harbin Treaty was a great damage to his prestige.  Of course, this is also true. Many senior figures in the party have shown their dissatisfaction with him on various occasions.  After learning about these situations, Stalin regarded this matter as the greatest shame in his life. He ordered someone to make a map of the Far East and hang it in his bedroom. He wanted to see this map every morning when he got up and remember this shame.

    Zhang Anle, who learned the news, smiled and said to Yang Du, who had returned from Xinjiang: "I didn't expect Stalin to know how to endure hardships even though he was working hard. Let's not imitate him."

    ¡°He doesn¡¯t know thoroughly. If he really knows how hard it is to endure hardship, he will send a beautiful woman to China to implement it.Honey trap.  "Yang Du was in a good mood recently, so he joked about Zhang Anle.

    "Haha, the more beauties the better, I won't refuse anyone who comes. Sir, my trip to Xinjiang has solved a big problem for me. Do you think Jin Shuren is reliable?" Zhang Anle's face is not as thin as in previous years.  He had a strong immunity to this kind of teasing, but he still turned to business.

    "Don't worry, we have placed people around him, and because of his attack on Pan Yaonan, the Soviets don't like him. His external help has disappeared, even if he wants to get on the line with the Soviets again.  It's possible, I've prepared a few small gifts for him, I believe he will like it." Yang Du seemed very confident in his arrangement and assured Zhang Anle.

    "That's good. How is the ideological transformation of those political prisoners going?" Zhang Anle knew Yang Du's loyalty and was confident in his work. He never thought that this person who wanted to be the emperor's teacher would become him.  That black hand.

    Political prisoners are what Zhang Anle calls the loyal followers of the Kuomintang who are still thinking about the Three People's Principles. However, these people are undoubtedly very outstanding talents, and Zhang Anle is not willing to let them spend a few years in prison.  In desperation, he had to let Yang Du be responsible for transforming them and try to make these people useful to him.

    "Most people in the military are willing to join the National Defense Forces. After all, they are soldiers. Even if they have received ideological education, the poison is not very deep. Now many of the remaining people are die-hards who have followed Sun Yat-sen for a long time, and they are still willing to stick to their own  Faith." Yang Du also had a headache when talking about these people. After all, these people are also famous people in society and cannot be beaten or punished.

    "Hmph, I think these people are too idle. Since we can find something to do for them, Henan Pingdingshan Industrial Base believes that there is a shortage of a lot of labor. Let them go there to move bricks." Zhang Anle supported Yang Du's words and snorted coldly.  Said one voice.

    "Haha, this is a good idea. These people know how to talk all day long. If you let them work hard for a few days, they will probably know what is ideal and what is reality." Yang Du nodded and smiled.

    "Back in Mongolia, the People's Party was so stubborn and couldn't stand it after working on the construction site for a few months. I don't believe that this group of people can be tougher than that group of proletarian fighters. I have one more thing to give to you, sir, and you too  Knowing that we have never had an official media, this is not conducive to the country's control of public opinion. I decided to create a state-controlled newspaper to publish the country's policies and regulations. In addition, for some news events, we also published our  The official view. This can play a role in guiding public opinion for some media. In addition, a news media management office will be established under the Ministry of Culture to be responsible for managing newspapers, radio and other media in society." This is what Zhang Anle asked Yang  Du Lai's real purpose does not conflict much with the work he is currently doing. What's more, Yang Du himself is a scholar and a politician. Letting him be in charge of this newspaper can be regarded as making the best use of his talents.

    "Since the Commander-in-Chief trusts me, of course I am willing to start this newspaper. By the way, have you thought of the name of this newspaper?" Sure enough, Yang Du was very happy to hear what Zhang Anle said.

    "Let's call it the People's Daily. By the way, all the contents of the newspaper must be in vernacular, and in the future, official documents will also be in vernacular. The purpose is to make ordinary people understand the newspaper and understand the country's policies." The name of the newspaper  Zhang Anle had already thought about it, and he also emphasized an important issue: vernacular writing.

    Nowadays, vernacular Chinese has become more popular, but classical Chinese has always existed as the official written language. Many literati also look down on vernacular, but Zhang Anle is still accustomed to vernacular.  After all, this is what he is most familiar with, otherwise he would have a headache just thinking about it every day.

    "Well, I understand. I will handle this matter as soon as possible. I estimate there will be some clues at the end of the month." Yang Du nodded to indicate that he understood what Zhang Anle meant.

    "Haha, sir, you are very confident. There will only be half a month until the end of the month." Zhang Anle was a little surprised, then smiled.

    "There is nothing difficult about this. Although the country has never had an official newspaper, Di Bao has indeed existed for more than 2,000 years. It is just a matter of changing the name of Di Bao, finding a place, and recruiting some imperial literati. The matter has nothing to do with you.  It's so difficult to think." Yang Du was afraid that Zhang Anle thought he was bragging, so he explained to him.

    Zhang Anle then realized that he was ignorant. It seemed that the ancients should not underestimate him.

    On October 17, 1926, the Sino-Soviet Harbin Treaty was signed.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????.

    The article connects the military parade a few days ago with today¡¯s treaty signing.At the same time, they claimed that it was the strong armed force that made the proud Soviets have to lower their heads at the negotiating table.

    For Zhang Anle, the signing of the Harbin Treaty was more than just the recovery of more than 1 million square kilometers of land.  His domestic reputation has reached 85, and his international reputation has also increased to 60.

    A domestic reputation of 85 can already guarantee that his reasonable policies will be supported by the people across the country, and an international reputation of 60 has also made him an influential person in the world.

    After Gu Weijun came back from Harbin, he met with Lin Changmin many times, probably to ask him about the five-year plan.  Zhang Anle also began to prepare for some military reforms. He felt that the first thing to change was the military service system.
