Chapter 169: Forging Iron Needs to Be Hard (Part 2)

"Why, why did the Soviet Union..."

Looking at the car full of parts, Chen Yaoyang was a little confused. He was very angry, but he didn't know how to get angry, because whether it was a formal diplomatic note or a related request for instructions, what was mentioned was "technology for scrap", even though any

Everyone knows what this "waste" is all about.

However, when the Soviets really did this, no one could say no, not to mention the current shortage of various materials in China, especially high-quality steel, which is simply a rare commodity, and from the Soviet Union

80% of the "scrap" shipped here are steel products, which is a timely help for China, which is short of steel.

But Chen Yaoyang didn't feel any gratitude in his heart. Instead, he was filled with anger because he was unwilling to accept it and because he couldn't figure out why the Soviet Union, known as the Big Brother, would do such insincere things;

Alliance, but they still want to stab you in the back like this!

"There is no reason, just because the big-power chauvinism of our big brother, the Soviet Union, is too strong!"

Just when Chen Yaoyang was feebly sending out waves of unwilling questions into the biting cold wind, a light word flowed into his ears along the wind. Chen Yaoyang was suddenly startled, and soon he realized that he had been staring at the north.

Bai Yi didn't know when he came to him.

I saw him holding a cigarette in his mouth, with an expression neither happy nor sad. He held a cigarette that had just been taken out of the cigarette case in his outstretched hand. He gestured and said, "Would you like some?"

branch!"

Seeing this, Chen Yaoyang couldn't help but froze, and subconsciously took the cigarette handed over by Bai Yi, but soon realized that he didn't smoke at all, but that was not the point. The point was Bai Yi's attitude, which seemed to have

accepted the reality because

Chen Yaoben couldn't feel any resentment or indignation from this old brother, so he looked at Bai Yi with some surprise: "Old Bai, aren't you angry? After working hard for more than three months, it is indeed a reward.

Are you willing to pile up scrap metal?"

"Willing? Huh, no one who has spent so much effort and done so many things to get such a result will not be willing!"

"What about you? No...Old Bai, do you have any back-up plan?"

Seeing Bai Yi's half-smiling expression, Chen Yaoyang reacted fiercely. It's no wonder that Chen Yaoyang would think so. Since he made up the plan of "exchanging technology for scrap", whether he used three types of equipment to catch Korolev,

, we still maintained a tacit understanding with Boskrebyshev in Moscow. Every step was almost anticipated, so that the whole process seemed complicated, but it was extremely smooth. If the final result was not unsatisfactory, it would be perfect.

.

But precisely because of this, when seeing Bai Yi's meaningful face, Chen Yaoyang concluded that all this was definitely what Bai Yi had expected, and in fact it was indeed the case. In fact, before going to Moscow, Bai Yi had

I feel that this trip to the Soviet Union may not go as smoothly as expected.

There is no other reason than Stalin, the leader of the Soviet Union who is known as "Steel", actually has very complicated thoughts about China, his Asian neighbor. On the one hand, he hopes that the victory of China's revolution will further spread the red regime around the world;

On the other hand, Stalin, who inherited the Czar's ambitions, never forgot the Soviet Union's special rights in Northeast China.

In particular, the "Zhongchang Railway" across Northeast China and the two ice-free ports of Da! Company and Brigade! Shun have always been regarded by the Soviet Union as a spasm based on East Asia. For this reason, they did not hesitate to fight with the United States and Britain at the end of World War II.

These two fulcrums of Northeast China's interests were written into the Yalta Agreement that established the post-war international order.

You must know that finding a seaport in East Asia has been Russia's dream for more than a hundred years. The Soviet Union, which inherited Tsarist Russia's ambition to dominate the world, naturally cannot let go of such a golden opportunity and takes advantage of its citizens to bully these two core rights and interests in Northeast China.

Tightly in control.

It's just that God's calculations are not as good as those of others. The weak National Government was indeed extremely weak. Within a few years, it was overwhelmed by the wave of revolution. In the end, the new China was established with a new look, and the leaders of New China were very concerned about the Northeast.

The issue of core sovereignty can be said to be unyielding.

To this end, China and the Soviet Union held arduous negotiations in Moscow for nearly a month. During this period, Stalin's attitude was very tough and he firmly refused to return the "Zhongchang Railway" and the two ice-free ports of Dalian Company and Brigade Shun. He even proposed

Aiding construction in exchange for concessions from New China.

However, the Chinese government refused to give in. In addition, the Western world, led by the United States, was pressing harder and harder against the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union had to need China's backup to maintain the global hegemony system. Therefore, Stalin was forced to agree to the Chinese government's proposal. Only then did Stalin

This led to the signing of the Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship, Alliance and Mutual Assistance in February 1950.

However, what the Chinese government never expected was that although Stalin made huge concessions, he also played a trick, which was to add this clause to the supplementary clauses of the "Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship, Alliance and Mutual Assistance": "If East Asia

If a war breaks out in the region, the Soviet Navy can reuse the two ice-free ports of Da! Company and Brigade! Shun. The use rights of the 'Zhongchang Railway' must also be released to the Soviet Union free of charge in order to ensure the supply of the Soviet Navy!"

At that time, China had just been established and had extremely little diplomatic experience. In addition, the civil war had ended. Japan was submissive to the United States like a little daughter-in-law. It didn't look like a war was going to break out, so I didn't think too much about it.

, and signed the supplementary treaty.

As a result, as soon as China and the Soviet Union signed an alliance, Stalin sent a telegram to North Korea, agreeing to the North Korean government's unification plan starting in the second half of 1949. At the same time, the Soviet troops stationed in the Far East began to provide all-round military assistance to the North Korean army.

In just a few months, the North Korean army became one of the few powerful armies in East Asia. It launched a unification war in June 1950. Subsequently, the US military intervened and marched to the Yalu River. China was forced to send troops to North Korea when its territory was threatened.

.

At this point, the war in East Asia has been raging, and the Soviet army continues to occupy Brigade! Shun Port through the provisions of the supplementary clause. As for the right to use the "Medium-Long Railway", it also wants to open up to the Soviet Union. In addition, China is holding back the US military in North Korea, which eases the situation.

The pressure from the Soviet Union in the European direction contributed to the Soviet Union benefiting greatly during this period.

In Bai Yi's previous life, these secrets were released to the world with the disintegration of the Soviet Union. Therefore, Bai Yi was able to understand the logic and intentions of various Soviet policies in the early 1950s. It was revealed that they were nothing more than defensiveness and distrust of China.

, the reimbursement of old Soviet weapons and equipment from the Second World War in the form of loans in the late Korean War, and the assistance to China in the form of economic compensation for construction, etc. are all manifestations of this logic.

Compared with this, it is normal to dismantle the good German machinery and weapons and equipment into real scrap metal and send them over. After all, the Soviet Union wants an obedient China, not a strong China!

"So before we set off from the Soviet Union, the head of the General Logistics Department who visited Moscow met with Beria. This prevented the situation from getting irreversibly bad. And this was not a backup plan. There was no way. Who made Stalin old?
