Chapter 806: Don’t want to fight
On August 23, the twenty-eighth year of the Republic of China, it was destined to be a restless night. Tang Qiuli had been leading several special operations detachments lurking in the eastern section of the Sino-Soviet border, in the Dongning and Suifenhe areas, in the mountains and dense forests.
**Division Special War
After Major General Tang Qiuquan, the leader of the detachment, issued the "Rose in Bloom" action order, that night, gunshots were heard everywhere along the hundreds of kilometers of border from Khabarovsk to Gorenki, from Heilongjiang to Suifenhe.{}
Those who were attacked were all Soviet border patrols. The Soviet Far East Military District quickly reported this emergency to the Soviet General Staff. The matter was of great importance. The General Staff could not make up its mind. It was Stalin, the supreme leader of the Soviet Union.
, set the basic tone for this series of events against the Soviet army.
Mainly rely on diplomatic means to solve the problem, supplemented by military preparations. Let's see how the Japanese responded to this series of events. In Stalin's Far East strategy, the first thing to be solved is the Outer Mongolia issue and the elimination of the Outer Mongolia region.
China's Tang Qiuli troops maintained the Soviet Union's vested interests in the region, which was in line with the Soviet Union's practical interests and long-term strategic interests.
Stalin was a seasoned politician and a smart man. He did not want to see changes in the situation where Japan frequently took action in the Far East during the fierce battle with Tang Qiuli's troops, the future of Zhukov's troops was uncertain, and the critical moment that determined the future fate of Outer Mongolia.
, the huge military power of the Kwantung Army in Manchuria made Stalin even more vigilant. He would never go to war with the Japanese unless forced to do so.
Therefore, Molotov's instructions skillfully given to the People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs of the Soviet Union were to handle the current very sensitive Soviet-Japanese relations in a low-key manner through diplomatic channels. As long as the Japanese government showed sincerity, the Soviet government could even make appropriate concessions.
Everything will be done after the Chinese Tang Qiuli's troops who had the upper hand in Outer Mongolia were dealt with.
Stovekia, the Soviet ambassador to Japan, was ordered to submit the protest letter to the Japanese Province. After reading the protest letter, Foreign Minister Ishigami Inotarō was absolutely surprised and shocked. He did not believe that the Kwantung Army would act so recklessly behind the back of the emperor and the base camp.
However, the conclusive evidence provided by the Soviets, coupled with the fact that since the Soviets fought with Tang Qiuli in Outer Mongolia, the mood of the domestic military circles to go to war against the Soviets has greatly increased.
Ishishe Ino Taro is really not sure whether the Kwantung Army went behind the Japanese government's back and attacked the Soviets without authorization. This matter is also a big deal for the Japanese government. As the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ishi Sheino
Taro didn't dare to make the decision, just looked at his face
The unkind ambassador, His Excellency Stovekia, smiled with a smile on his face and said in an unusually kind tone: "Mr. Ambassador, it concerns the relationship between the two countries, especially the Japan-Soviet Friendship Treaty. Please allow me to report it to our government.
, giving you a satisfactory answer”
After stabilizing Stovekia, the Soviet ambassador to Japan, Ishishe Ino Taro rushed into the palace and presented the Soviets' protest letter to Emperor Hirohito. After reading the protest, Hirohito was no more shocked than Ishishe Ino.
How much younger is Taro?
Similarly, there are Tang Qiuli's troops in northern China, occupying the Liaoxi region of Manchuria. This is a common worry among all the top military and political figures in Japan. Before Tang Qiuli's power is completely eliminated, the Japanese also do not want to fight with them.
This behemoth in the north will not encounter any military conflict.
From the "Japan-Soviet Friendship Treaty", it can be seen that under the circumstances at that time, neither the Soviet Union nor Japan wanted a military conflict. Although the Japanese dreamed of obtaining the Russian oil resources in the Far East, Siberia and Transcaucasus,
But now is definitely not the time.
Hirohito thought for a while and ordered his attendants to immediately announce that the chief of the general staff of the base camp and his younger brother, Prince Hanin Gong Zairen, had entered the palace. Zairen rushed there in a hurry and found the letter of protest puzzling. Logically speaking,
At this time, the Kwantung Army should not have any extra energy to carry out so many military operations on the border between Manchuria and the Soviet Union. The Liaoxi Offensive of the ** Division alone has already given the Kwantung Army commander Ueda Kenkichi a headache.
But the protest was true. After urgent discussions, the two emperor brothers and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ino Taro Ishikashi, decided to let Zain, in the name of the chief of the general staff of the base camp, issue an order to let the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army Headquarters, Kenkichi Ueda,
General, explain all this clearly, and at the same time, send the original text of the Soviets' letter of protest to the Kwantung Army Headquarters.
After receiving the order from the general staff of the base camp, Ueda Kenkichi was also confused. He really had nothing to do. Just to gather troops in Shenyang to deal with Tang Qiuli's troops had already made Ueda Kenkichi anxious.
At this time, if I still mess with the Soviets, am I not sick?
Ueda Kenkichi thought angrily, and immediately sent a telegram back to the base camp, calling for Chuitenku, claiming, "I am concentrating on the upcoming war against the Tang Qiuli tribe in China, and I will never dare to violate His Majesty the Emperor's decree and fight with the Soviet Union."
People easily started a war, and this incident was obviously an excuse for the Soviets to take advantage of the imminent battle between our Kwantung Army and Tang Qiuli's troops, deliberately fabricate the incident, and plot to plot against our Empire of Japan's Manchurian territory and attack the Kwantung Army."
Emperor Hirohito, Prince Zaihito, and Foreign Minister Ishikashi Inotarō mostly believed Ueda Kenkichi’s words, so they responded to the Soviet Ambassador to Japan Stovekia: “Our government has already questioned the Kwantung Army troops about what happened in
A series of border areas between Manchuria and the Soviet Union
The above incidents were definitely not committed by the Kwantung Army of Japan. The Japanese government and His Majesty the Emperor’s troops will absolutely abide by all the terms stipulated in the Japan-Soviet Friendship Treaty. The intention of your country’s letter of protest is worthy of suspicion by the Japanese government. Our government reserves the right to demand an apology.
rights.”
In a word, this is absolutely not the case. You are framing this. We, the Imperial Japanese government, want to ask you what the Soviet Union’s intentions are? Naturally, the Japanese government’s answer cannot satisfy the Soviet people. The two sides exchanged messages endlessly. Finally,
The Soviets were furious. The scene where the Soviet border patrol was attacked is still preserved. The Japanese did not shed tears until they saw the coffin.
The result of the quarrel was that both sides sent senior military generals and senior officials from the foreign affairs department to jointly survey the scene of the attack on the Soviet patrol. The Japanese did not do this, so they were naturally confident. The Soviets had evidence.
Also full of confidence.
The key military officials participating from the Japanese side were Major General Yuichi Watanabe, deputy chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, and Santaro Takashima, director of the Asia Bureau of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The key military officials participating from the Soviet side were Major General Aruchenko, deputy chief of staff of the Far East Military District, responsible for Asia.
Tsitoyevsky, deputy member of the People's Commissariat for Foreign Affairs, and a special member, General Timoshenko, commander and political commissar of the Second Soviet Far East Army that was being formed.
Timoshenko was specially ordered by Stalin to participate. The two parties agreed to inspect the scene near the No. 183 boundary marker on the Soviet side of the Suifen River. Major General Aruchenko, who had just lost more than a thousand people, naturally would not have any
good mood, feel
Major General Yuichi Watanabe, who was wrongly accused, was also full of anger. He glared angrily when he saw him and made sparks fly when he spoke. The corpses of the Soviet patrol soldiers had been left to dry in the wilderness for a day and a night, and they still maintained the appearance before death.
posture.
The Soviets did work hard to prove the problem. Major General Watanabe Yuichi took a brief look and said arrogantly: "What does this prove? The deaths of your soldiers are not related to the Kwantung Army of the Empire of Japan."
any relationship”
Major General Aruchenko was so angry that he almost cursed, "The damn Japanese still want to quibble and deny in the face of hard facts. Well, let me show you the evidence." He ordered the accompanying security forces to bring all the evidence they could.
Take all the bullets you collected.
A large number of Japanese-style bullets were piled at the feet of Major General Yuichi Watanabe, the deputy chief of staff of the Kwantung Army. He was stunned. The genuine standard ammunition used by the Kwantung Army troops was like a ghost. As the deputy chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, Yuichi Watanabe
The major general participated in the planning of all military operations of the Kwantung Army. He can guarantee with his head that the Kwantung Army never attacked Soviet soldiers, but what happened to these bullets?
The Kwantung Army did not do anything. Naturally, Major General Yuichi Watanabe would not give in. His answer was: "Although the bullets were fired by our Kwantung Army troops of the Empire of Japan, it cannot be proven that they were fired by Kwantung Army soldiers." Major General Aruchenko again
I couldn't help it anymore. I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen people as despicable and shameless as the Japanese.
After just a few words, the two generals, both of whom were arrogant at heart, started to quarrel. If it weren't for the high-ranking officials from the diplomatic departments of both sides holding each other down, these two guys who were not convinced by each other and felt that they were righteous would have drawn their guns and started shooting at each other on the spot.
, stage a modern version of a duel.
Timoshenko did not speak from beginning to end. He instinctively felt that this matter was not that simple. Due to the sensitivity of soldiers and their desire for war, he felt that Japan was more likely to be plotting. The main force of the Far East Military Region
, were all attracted by the war in Outer Mongolia. For the Japanese who had long coveted the Far East, this might not be an excellent opportunity.
The two sides broke up unhappily and agreed to continue negotiations tomorrow. All this was seen by Tang Qiuquan's observation post in this area. He then collected the reactions of the Japanese and the Soviets, as well as the handling measures taken by both parties.
The method was reported to the division commander Tang Qiuli who was far away in Uliasutai.
After receiving the telegram, Tang Qiuli smiled coldly. It was expected. If the Soviets and the Japanese were to fight so easily, he would not have to arrange for Brother Qiuquan to be sent to the Sino-Soviet border area several months in advance.
In this secret move, both the Soviets and the Japanese put the solution of their own forces in the first place.
This can be seen from the restrained attitude adopted by the Soviets and the Japanese. If the two countries do not fight, not only will they not be able to take advantage, but they will also be defeated by two fat, greedy countries.
A way of joining forces to get back to the original shape.
Tang Qiuli's latest instruction to Tang Qiuquan was: "Continue to increase the fire." It was still four words, with murderous intent and insidiousness.
