Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "Hey, isn't this Reporter Zhang? Do you know what happened today?"

    "I'm also wondering. I got a call last night saying there was important news, but after asking around, I didn't get it."

    "Where are the foreigners?"

    "Foreigners? Come ondid you see that? Director Dai is surrounded. Even he doesn't know what is going on today."

    "Dai Jitao doesn't know? This is really evil!"

    Early in the morning, the small auditorium of the Nanjing Presidential Palace was crowded with reporters.  They all hurried over after getting a call from the Presidential Palace, and many of them were whispering to each other while making preparations, because until now, no one knew why the Presidential Palace suddenly announced a press conference.

    Of course, the media in 1921 was not as developed as it would be a few decades later, but since Nanjing became the capital and was close to Shanghai, a place with convenient news, newspapers across the country sent reporters to the capital, and the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications also opened a telegraph line for them  .  Over time, everyone has communicated with each other about important news, but there has never been a situation like today where there is no news at all.

    The more mysterious something is, the more attention it attracts, and the deliberate blocking of information arouses all appetites.  So when Hu Weide walked in, the small auditorium was instantly detonated, and the harsh flash was filled with the sound of clicking shutters.  Fortunately, Hu Weide encountered this kind of scene when he signed the "Plum Blossom Contract". After raising his hand to ask the reporters to calm down, he smiled and said: "It's not worth the film money to shoot me, so let me introduce today's distinguished guests.  "

    Hu Weide raised his hand.  Pointing to Garahan who walked in from the side door: "Russian envoyMr. Garahan."

    ?Russian envoy?  !

    Everyone knows that China and Russia have been quite dirty since Yang Qiu came to power.  First, the revolution broke out in Russia at the critical moment of the European War.  Yang Qiu had to go to St. Petersburg in person to appease them to convince them to continue the war, but then news of betrayal of the allies spread again.  As a result, China's Eastern Front Expeditionary Army was almost wiped out.  In order to take revenge, the Wehrmacht made concerted efforts to evacuate the east of the Ural Mountains in one fell swoop. It is said that the artillery alone brought back thousands of guns, and Moscow was even more furious.  Even though there has been a lot of peace in the past two years, before the silver crisis last year, Russian guerrillas massacred immigrants. So when everyone heard that the northwest garrison had started taking action again, they thought that another war was going to break out between China and Russia.  Newspapers also analyzed the outcome, but they didn't expect that the two countries had quietly started to contact each other at this time.

    The reporters¡¯ appetite became even higher, and they turned their cameras on this mysterious Russian envoy.

    Facing so many reporters, Karahan managed a smile.  Several days of negotiations drained him of all his energy.  What's even more frustrating is that, facing an opponent with rich and aggressive cards, he was almost completely defeated at the negotiation table. He can persist until now only by gritting his teeth and supporting him.

    Karakhan took a deep breath, took out the manuscript he had prepared, and read it in front of the reporters: "After the Soviet workers' and peasants' government took power in 1917, it represented the Russian people to the world.  The people advocate the establishment of a consolidated and lasting peace. The basis of this peace should be that we will never invade the territory of other countries, never forcibly annex other peoples, and never extort compensation from any ethnic group, no matter how big or small, no matter where they live. No matter whether it is independent or not until now.  or forced to vassal other countries, they should enjoy freedom in their own internal life, and no political power can force them to stay within their own territory.

    Therefore, I came to China today specifically to reiterate once again on behalf of Soviet Russia, the Soviet Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, and the entire Soviet Federation In order to liberate the people of all ethnic groups in the East who have been repeatedly oppressed, the Soviet recognizes all the conditions attached to the "Shanghai Communique".  Abolish all unequal treaties between China and Russia signed during the Tsarist period, give up all the land acquired by the Tsar by abandoning aggression, abolish the Tsar's consular jurisdiction and concessions in China, and give up the Russian part of the Boxer Indemnity.  Give up the privileges of the Middle East RailwayAbandon all trading stations of Russian merchants in China. No Russian official, pastor, or missionary is allowed to interfere in China's affairs. Any illegal behavior should be tried by the local court in accordance with the law  

    In addition to these points, the Soviet government is ready to hold talks with the Chinese government on all issues, and hopes that China will consider and restore bilateral diplomatic relations as soon as possible, conclude a treaty of friendship and peace, and withdraw troops from each other's borders so that the two peoples can enjoy the beauty of peace.  ¡­¡­.

    Soviet Deputy People¡¯s Commissar for Foreign Affairs, Karakhan.  "

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?¡­!

    After reading the short declaration on China, the small auditorium boiled like a pot exploding!  Almost everyone's eyes widened in surprise, as if they still couldn't believe the declaration they heard.  It wasn't until a few minutes later that Chinese reporters took the lead in high-fiving each other. Everyone was very excited.  Because this declaration represents the last country in the world that is directly related to the "Shanghai Communique" to recognize the scope of China's land and territorial waters delineated in the Communique, and to give up all its privileges in China!  Although Russia has long ceased to existHowever, the last outstanding issue of the communique can be successfully concluded, which will undoubtedly make the whole country happy.

    But the press corps from various countries on the other side were not so happy.  Both Britain, the United States and France feel incredible about the sudden contact between China and Russia.  You must know that the whole world thought that conflicts between China and Russia would break out over Kazakhstan, Siberia and other issues. This can be seen from China's sudden assistance to Kolchak's retreat, but no one expected that the Frunze army was approaching China step by step.  At the border, things took a sudden turn, and the Russian envoy even read out a declaration recognizing the "Shanghai Communique" in front of the whole world.

    Although there are still coastal areas such as Okhotsk, God knows how long they will be frozen in a year. Losing Vladivostok will mean that Russia has completely lost the entrance to the Pacific Ocean!  What made Moscow make such a big sacrifice? Although Karaghan's declaration did not say that China and Russia had reached an agreement, nor did it say that the two sides would restore diplomatic relations, speculations and rumors spread rapidly at the first opportunity.

    "Your Excellency Yang Qiu, why do you want to compromise with Russia? This has violated the commitment made at the Paris Peace Conference."

    Bernard came to Yang Qiu¡¯s house immediately, trying to find out what kind of agreement had been reached between China and Russia.  This angry look seeking revenge made Yang Qiu frown: "Your Excellency Ambassador, Karakhan is here to read out the declaration recognizing the Shanghai Communique on behalf of Russia. Do you want me to stop it? If the people know about this, we will  Is it still necessary for the government to exist?¡±

    "So, you are not ready to resume diplomatic relations with Russia?" Bernard didn't believe it and asked.

    "No! I can tell you clearly that my troops are helping Lord Kolchak retreat. I have prepared 300 trains waiting in Krasnoyarsk, and I have also dispatched troops to attack Yakutsk.  Guerrillas, help him clean up the remaining enemies in the area." Yang Qiu said seriously: "You can check all of these! I said that I will recognize the agreement reached at the Paris Peace Conference, but regarding diplomacy and border security, etc.  Our country is facing tremendous pressure, so we cannot rule out the possibility of reaching a peace agreement with the Russian government."

    Although Yang Qiu vowed, Bernard always felt something was wrong.  In fact, Britain has long been prepared for the restoration of relations between China and Russia. After all, after the Treaty of Riga, all countries have known that it is impossible to prevent the reunification of Moscow, so Yang Qiu began to ask Kolchak to withdraw as a fist for future intervention in Russia.  The reason why he came was because he didn't get any news in advance and was a little dissatisfied.

    Bernard, who didn¡¯t get an answer, left quickly, but then the French and American ambassadors came to visit again, with the same purpose, hoping to find out the story behind Karaghan¡¯s sudden declaration against China.

    After finally getting rid of this annoying guy, Cai E walked in and handed the "Sino-Soviet Peace Treaty" signed in advance to Yang Qiu: "Vice President, your place is really lively."

    Yang Qiu glared at him angrily and asked, "Bluher has gone back?"

    Cai E nodded: "He went back two days ago. The intelligence said that he had already gathered his troops and led his troops to step up the movement to Barnaul. Yesterday morning, he also joined the cavalry forward from Frunze, with a total strength of about 70,000."

    "70,000 versus 300,000Songpa, do you think I did something stupid and shouldn't let him go?"

    Cai E knew what he was worried about and said: "Bluukher will only be a general no matter how good he is in fighting. Without the railway to ensure logistics, no one can do anything about it. Besides, if he doesn't go back, there won't be this peace treaty.  "

    "yes."

    Yang Qiu picked up the Sino-Soviet peace treaty and glanced at it casually, then threw it aside and ignored it.  This understatement made Cai E very strange and asked: "Is there anything wrong? We have already negotiated with Karahan. As soon as the Kolchak incident is over, our two armies will assume a large-scale confrontation.  Then the two sides will take a step back and start peace negotiations, and a peace treaty will be announced in early September. If they do this, Britain and France will just guess, and as long as there is no evidence, they can only shout, and there is nothing we can do."

    "After all, we are going to perform for Britain and the United States. People in the province say that we have betrayed the Paris Peace Treaty. But I don't really believe the Russians." Yang Qiu looked at the peace treaty signed in advance and thought in his heart  I always feel like it¡¯s not a good taste.  Although this is an important northern peace treaty that he has been thinking about for eight years, after it is announced in September, as long as Russia does not repair the Siberian Railway for one day, he will be safe for one day.  But after it was actually reached, he always felt that it was a bit illusory. With Stalin's temper and the deep-rooted chauvinism and pragmatism of the Slavic nation, this treaty is expected to be annulled in a few years.

    Cai E also laughed: "I don't believe it either, but we need this peace treaty."

    "Yes." Yang Qiu took a deep breath, stood up and picked up his hat: "Let's go to the War Department and ask how Wang Geng is doing.".
