Chapter 519: Criticizing Su for Rectification (Part 2)
When the Central Committee of the Red Party in Yan'an was preparing to unify internally by taking advantage of this opportunity of Soviet-Japanese reconciliation and betrayal of China, Dai Li in Chongqing also received news of the Soviet-Japanese Neutrality Treaty, and he quickly reported it to the Chiang Kai-shek intermediary.
——Chongqing
"Chairman, I have confirmed this news in many ways. It is no longer a secret among high-level officials in Japan. It is said that this time the Soviet Union and Japan hit it off. From the beginning of negotiations to the formal signing, it took less than a week.
Ah!" Dai Li patted his chest and told Agent Jiang that the news was true.
Agent Jiang sighed and said, "What is supposed to come has come. We have been in contact with the Soviet Union. We hope that the Soviet Union can increase its support for us and even take a positive attitude in Manchuria... Everything has come to nothing. Didn't Shao Lizi get it?"
What news?"
Shao Lizi was the Nationalist Government's ambassador to the Soviet Union at this time.
Dai Li hummed, "Chairman, this Shao Lizi was also a member of the Red Party back then. Now he probably doesn't even know how to face the country!"
Agent Jiang squinted his eyes and nodded, yes, who knows what Yan'an will do about the Soviet-Japanese reconciliation.
In fact, this is not the first time that the Soviet-Japanese negotiations have come out. As early as when the Soviet Union and Germany signed a non-aggression pact, Reuters published an article stating that Japan and the Soviet Union were also negotiating a non-aggression pact on neutrality. At that time, Chiang Kai-shek
Someone was sent to inquire the Soviet government. The Soviet government immediately stated that there were many outstanding issues for negotiation between the Soviet Union and Japan, and most of them were just beginnings but without results. If Japan was willing to negotiate with the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union was also willing to negotiate, but it would not violate it in any case.
It also said that no matter what happens, the Soviet Union's determination and attitude to support China's resistance to Japan will not change.
But now, the Soviet Union has recognized Manchukuo. If it can recognize Manchukuo today, will it be able to recognize the Nanjing government tomorrow? Will it break off diplomatic relations with the Chongqing government the day after tomorrow? As for those aids, will they also stop?
These are the things that Jiang intermediary is most concerned about.
Jiang's intermediary immediately said to Chen Bulei who was standing next to him, "Brai, let Chuikov come to see me immediately, and send a message to Shao Lizi to ask first if there is really a treaty. If so, why not report it to the central government? If not, it needs to be reported quickly.
! In addition, if there is any, we must ask the Soviet government why it is inconsistent with its original commitment!"
Chuikov was the general military adviser of the Soviet Union in China at this time. He had a very high status in the hearts of the Chongqing government at this time. He came to Jiang Jiajun's office and saluted Jiang Jiajiang and said, "Hello, Chairman Chiang, what can I do for you?"
"
Agent Jiang looked at Chuikov and asked, "We have received a piece of news. We hope that General Chuikov can confirm the truth or falsehood for us. It is said that the Soviet government and the Japanese pirates have signed a neutrality treaty. I wonder if this is true?"
Chuikov shrugged and said, "I'm sorry, that's true. I'm about to convey our news to you. This is the text of our "Soviet-Japanese Neutrality Treaty," but please understand that we have just received the news. In addition, we have also received
According to our government's instructions, since China and Japan have not declared war, this neutrality treaty will not interfere with our cooperation. In the end, our aid supplies will continue to arrive until all supplies reach the agreed quantity.
"
Agent Chiang was angry and happy at the same time. He was angry that the Soviet government had abandoned China and signed a treaty with Japan. He was happy that the Soviet aid supplies would not be interrupted immediately. But by listening to his words, Agent Chiang also heard that Chuikov
This means that these supplies are the last batch, and they are only to fulfill the agreement. After all the agreed supplies are delivered, the Soviet Union will no longer provide any help to China.
Agent Jiang said with a smile on his face, "Okay, that's good. I understand your government's considerations, and I also believe that the friendship between our two countries will not be affected by this. You have worked hard, you can go back."
Cuikov saluted the Jiang intermediary and left. Chen Bulei came over and said, "Chairman, the news is indeed true! What should we do?"
Jiang Jie waved his hand and said, "The Soviet Union did not immediately break up with us, so we should not be bad guys. Didn't Germany abandon us back then? Now it's just a different person. The Soviet Union first attacked Poland with Germany, and now reconciles with Japan."
, I think they are getting closer and closer, so if the Soviets don't help us, we will go to find their enemies. The British themselves are not reliable, but the Americans have given us a lot of assistance. Let's see now.
Their vision is clear. If they help us, we will have the strength to continue fighting, otherwise..."
Chen Brai nodded, knowing in his heart that the Nationalist government did not have much military production capacity. If there was really no external assistance, the Chongqing government would not even be able to provide machine gun bullets to the front line in just a few major battles.
The news of the neutrality treaty signed between the Soviet Union and Japan immediately spread throughout Chongqing. It has to be said that sometimes, the Chongqing government's information transmission speed is almost comparable to that of later generations of the information age.
That night, Agent Jiang opened his notebook and wrote in his diary that day with anger, "Japanese pirates are hateful! The Soviet Union cannot be trusted! After all, you cannot rely on others to resist Japan! Self-reliance! Encourage yourself!!"
After finishing writing, Agent Jiang took a long breath and felt himself refreshed. All his grievances were vented. He opened his eyes, closed the diary, picked up the phone, dialed a number and said, "The meeting will be held tomorrow."
The Standing Committee of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, and also asked the "Joongang Daily" to prepare an editorial on the signing of the neutrality treaty between the Soviet Union and Japan. I want to read it!"
On June 22, 1941, Wang Chonghui, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Chongqing Government, issued an official statement: "The joint declaration issued when the Soviet Union and Japan signed the Neutrality Agreement stated that Japan respects the integrity and inviolability of the territory of the so-called 'Mongolian People's Republic', and the Soviet Union respects
The so-called territorial integrity and inviolability of 'Manchukuo'. The four northeastern provinces and Outer Mongolia are part of the Republic of China and are the territory of the Republic of China. Needless to say, the Chinese government and people are not responsible for any interference with third countries.
Any agreement on the territorial and administrative integrity of China will never be recognized, and we solemnly declare that the joint declaration issued by the Soviet Union and Japan is absolutely invalid for China."
The "Central Daily News" published an editorial on that day saying: "The Soviet-Japanese agreement is a matter between the two countries. We do not need to make any speculations or explanations. However, the Sino-Soviet non-aggression treaty concluded in August 1937
Article 2 clearly stipulates: 'If one of the two Contracting States is invaded by one or more third parties, the other Contracting State agrees not to provide any assistance, directly or indirectly, to the third party during the entire period of the conflict, nor to provide any assistance to the third party.
Any action or the conclusion of any agreement may enable the aggressor State to take actions detrimental to the aggrieved State Party. It is a fact known to all the world that China was subjected to Japanese aggression for forty-seven months. The Soviet government and people not only
Sympathize with our country's war of resistance, and provide moral encouragement and material assistance from time to time. According to the provisions of the Sino-Soviet non-aggression treaty, it seems that the Soviet Union should not conclude any agreement with the aggressive Japanese until the Sino-Japanese war is over.
It had a negative impact on China's War of Resistance. The fact that the Soviet-Japanese Agreement was actually established while China was in the midst of the War of Resistance, and after the Soviet Union repeatedly stated its opposition to aggressive actions, this inevitably gave the Chinese people strange feelings."
The entire Chongqing government's tone on this matter was unexpectedly low-key, almost defending the Soviet Union. At this time, most people did not care about the Chongqing government's actions, but looked to Yan'an. After all, the Red Party in Yan'an was
We are part of the same system as the Soviet Union, so what will they say about this matter?
What surprised everyone was that this time Xinhua News Agency published an article that could be said to be extremely tough - "The Chinese Red Party Expresses Opinions on the Soviet-Japanese Neutrality Treaty"
(1) The neutrality treaty signed by the Soviet Union and Japan this time is not a so-called helpless move, but a huge reversal of history. The significance of this treaty is, first, to relieve the pressure on the Soviet Union in the East, allowing the Soviet Union to increase its influence on Europe.
Attention. The second is to relieve the pressure of Japanese imperialism in the north, allowing Japanese imperialism to unscrupulously mobilize the Kwantung Army in the puppet Manchukuo to invade China and even Southeast Asia. This behavior is exactly the same as the appeasement policy of Britain and France, and the appeasement policy
What is the result? Today's Europe is telling us with facts. The Soviet Union's approach is to harm the interests of other countries while ensuring its own interests, which is not conducive to world peace.
(2) The Soviet Union and some people may think that this time the Soviet-Japanese Treaty has greatly improved the Soviet Union’s international status, allowing the Soviet Union to increase its say in both the East and the West, but in fact, whether it is hobbies
Peaceful people, or war-loving fascist governments, will only despise the Soviet Union more. A country that cannot adhere to peace and justice will not be trusted by other countries, let alone what Redism advocates. From Poland to Finland, from "
From the Soviet-German Non-Aggression Pact to the Soviet-Japanese Neutrality Pact, we cannot understand why the Soviet Union did not insist on helping the weak and invaded against the invaders, just like it did to China in previous years, but gradually became complicit with the invaders.
We are extremely doubtful whether there is a small group of people in the Soviet Red Party who have forgotten that the original intention of Redism is to liberate the working people of the world, rather than becoming a new imperialism, that is, the social imperialism mentioned by Comrade Lenin!
(3) We must admit that in China’s War of Resistance Against Japan, the Soviet Union was the one who helped China the most. As long as the Chinese people’s hope came to foreign aid, it was first pinned on the Soviet Union. Although the Soviet Union did not
Restrict the Soviet Union from assisting China in its independent and just war of resistance against Japan. However, it must be noted that this treaty by the Soviet Union announced the recognition of the Puppet Manchukuo and the Puppet Mongolian People's Republic (i.e. Outer Mongolia). According to the 1924 "Sino-Russian Settlement"
Article 5 of the Outline Agreement: "The Soviet government recognizes Outer Mongolia as a complete part of the Republic of China and respects China's sovereignty within this territory." Therefore, the Puppet Mongolian People's Republic (i.e. Outer Mongolia) should be a part of China.
It is the highest interest of the Chinese nation and cannot be infringed by anyone! The Puppet Manchukuo (i.e. the four northeastern provinces) should be a part of China. This is the highest interest of the Chinese nation and cannot be infringed by anyone!
(4) We fully understand the reasons why the Soviet Union is forced to choose the policy of peaceful neutrality under the current international situation. At the same time, we also hope that the whole country will understand that according to the Soviet Union’s principle of peaceful neutrality, it will not attack Manchuria regardless of whether it signs a treaty with Japan.
The recovery of Northeast China is our own business. We must not be like some speculators who always hope that the Soviet Union will fight with Japan in order to reap the benefits. When the Soviet Union declares that it will not invade Manchuria, he thinks that the Soviet Union is wrong. Such people at least
They are also guys with no ambition. We must recover all the lost territory in the country, fight to the Yalu River, and expel Japanese imperialism from China. This is the sacred cause of the entire Chinese nation. If the Red Soviet Union is a righteous party, it will definitely support our great cause.
career.
(5) After the Soviet-Japanese Treaty, China must adhere to the three major policies of resistance, unity, and progress. First, any wavering in the war of resistance is not allowed. Second, cooperation between the red and white parties must continue, and the New Fourth Army and other such forces must be disbanded.
Separatist actions must ensure that such actions cannot occur again in the future. Thirdly, all kinds of reactionary domestic policies must be stopped. Only by following this can we hope to win the war of resistance. If we do the opposite, everyone will betray their relatives and be in danger.
Stand and wait. Our Red Party is willing to unite with all forces that support justice, no matter where this force comes from, because we firmly believe that only in this way can the liberation of the nation be expected! Only the victory of the war of resistance can be expected!
The whole article can be said to be full of irony and ridicule. It not only criticized the Soviet Union's treaty from top to bottom, but also expressed doubts about whether the Soviet Red Party was really a Red Party. This can be said to have made the whole world
Everyone was shocked. No one expected that the Chinese Red Party would publish such an article. This was almost a challenge to the Red International and the Soviet Union. What qualifications did the Chinese Red Party have and what basis did it have to treat the Soviet Union like this? Jiang Jie looked at Xinhua News Agency
After reading the article, I felt like my back was sweating. What was the Red Party doing? I was still waiting for those Soviet Union aid to take the blame. Is this a counter-intentional trick or a bitter trick? Why couldn't I understand?
Jiang Jie looked to the north and felt that something had happened in Yan'an in the north. Otherwise, how could it have changed so much to the Soviet Union.
In fact, this was because Jiang Jie was not in Yan'an. If Jiang Jie was in Yan'an at this time and listened to the study class, he would have discovered that Yan'an's arguments had changed so drastically that it would have caught people off guard.
——Yan'an Conference Room
"This is really too urgent. Why don't you discuss with comrades more when such an article is published? What will other people think when such an article is published? What will comrades think? What will the Soviet Union and Moscow think? I think Moscow will soon
The telegram is coming, Chairman! Can we retract this article?" Zhang Wentian shook his head and said.
"It is true that the Soviet Union did something wrong this time, but the Soviet Union and the Red International are our superiors after all. When we are subordinates and find that our superiors are wrong, we can just talk about it internally. Why be so fierce." Wang Jiaxiang
