Chapter 428: History of Mongolia in Different Time and Space

The convoy left Ulaanbaatar International Airport and began to drive towards the urban area of ​​Ulaanbaatar. When it gradually came to the outskirts of the city, Jin Xiantai finally saw the most authentic side of Ulaanbaatar. x-on:乐x-on:文x-on:小说 ww.ls520.om

Most of the vehicles driving on the road are "Volga" or "Lada" brand cars produced in the Soviet Union, and most of them are blue-gray cars that look like bread, and few foreign cars can be seen.

Of course, perhaps this has nothing to do with the fact that the Soviet Union has not yet collapsed and Mongolia has not changed its national policy. After all, the Soviet Union in this time and space is doing well, so Mongolia, as a member country, is also doing well.

And the time and space Mongolia where Kim Hyun-tae was originally located, after experiencing the collapse of the Soviet Union and losing aid, he had no choice but to seek change, so the whole country has undergone great changes.

First of all, there are more luxury cars on the street, and international hotels and various bars have also appeared in the capital Ulaanbaatar.

Where does it look like the Mongolian country in a different time and space, these things can't be seen now.

Wherever Kim Hyun-tae looked, there were buildings with a strong Soviet style, and even the statues and slogans on both sides of the street were all Soviet heroes or written in Russian.

If it weren't for a large number of men wearing traditional Mongolian costumes walking by on the street, Kim Hyun-tae would have thought he was in the Soviet Union.

But he is right to think so, after all, Mongolia is a member country of the Soviet Union in name, but actually a subsidiary country.

Bakery, sausage shop, all shops use the so-called "New Mongolian language", but the "New Mongolian language" claimed by the Mongolian side is exactly the same as the Russian language.

And through the car window, Jin Xiantai saw many people in traditional Mongolian costumes lying on the street. Pedestrians didn't even look at them when they passed by, as if they were no strangers to such people.

"Those are drunk people. Men in Mongolia like to drink very much, even more than men in the Soviet Union. In this country, men basically just drink all day long and do nothing. Women do things. I feel really sad for the women of Mongolia."

Matthews said something quietly at this time. The tone was even a little bit embarrassing.

Indeed, the burden of life is on women. This thing really makes me feel a little uncomfortable.

But what can I change.

Kim Hyun-tae didn't make a sound after thinking about it.

"I came here ten years ago, and I also have a deep understanding of the lives of ordinary people in Mongolia, so I still have a say in these matters."

Matthews' eyes drifted a little, as if he had fallen into that memory from the beginning.

"I still remember that I didn't travel with the visiting group, but visited a herdsman's house privately. I saw with my own eyes that it was a woman who took care of everything in the house while taking care of the children, and also had to go to Grazing. The only man in the family at the time was just asleep, and when he woke up, he found that his wife hadn't cooked the meal, so this guy went into a rage and beat the woman severely."

Matthews' tone was very calm, but Jin Xiantai could hear a trace of anger and unwillingness contained in this calmness.

"I asked the woman privately, and she said that such things happen every day, and if her husband doesn't hit her, it is her lucky day. And what happened to her is not a special case here, almost all women will have this The experience and the encounter, I can't imagine it."

Listening to Matthews' words, Kim Hyun-tae was also silent.

As a Chinese man. Jin Xiantai couldn't imagine how bad the lives of women here are, anyway, he couldn't do it like beating his wife.

But in Mongolia, this kind of thing is commonplace.

honestly. He really can't accept it.

Matthews took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

"Do you know? Since then, I have looked down on these men in Mongolia and despised them from the bottom of my heart because they beat women."

Seriously, Kim Hyun-tae also looked down on the man who hit the woman, so he nodded in agreement.

"Yes, I agree with your point of view."

Kim Hyun-tae's echo made Matthews smile happily.

"It's an honor that you agree with my point of view, thank you."

A happy Matthews thanked him for that.

subsequently. Matthews and Kim Hyun-tae talked about some other aspects of Mongolia, which also gave Kim Hyun-tae a deeper understanding of Mongolia.

This is really thanks to Matthews.

If not for him. Kim Hyun-tae may really have to work hard if he wants to understand Mongolia.

"Mongolia does not produce food. So they need to get a lot of food aid from the Soviet Union every year to alleviate this problem. Don't look at the people in Mongolia who like to eat meat, but the cattle and sheep they raise themselves have to give The Soviet Union, so they made their own beef and mutton scarce, so the price of beef and mutton is ridiculously expensive."

Because he came to Mongolia ten years ago, Matthews really knew a lot about it, and these things were unknown to Kim Hyun-tae.

And from what Matthews said, we can basically see how the Soviets plundered.

It's just that Mongolia doesn't dare to say no to such plunder.

Because they were really scared by the Soviets, and they didn't dare to think carefully.

And when it comes to why people in Mongolia are afraid of the Soviet Union, there really is a lot of history in it.

Of course, this history belongs to different time and space.

(ps: I hereby declare that the history of different time and space, please do not take your seat. The story of this novel is completely fictitious, and any similarity is purely coincidental!)

The Mongolian side arranged for old George and his party to be stationed at the former Soviet embassy site, and the convoy still needed more than 20 minutes' drive to arrive, so Matthews and Kim Hyun-tae could only chat to pass the time.

Fortunately, Kim Hyun-tae is very interested in Mongolian affairs, and Matthews is very excited when he opens up the chatterbox, so the two guys are in harmony with each other.

Little Coco is not interested in the conversation between adults at all. Ever since the little guy left the airport, he has been looking out of the car window curiously, observing this exotic place.

The temperature in Mongolia in July is also very high, but it is different from the tropics. People here also wear traditional Mongolian robes in summer. Because people don't sweat because of the dryness, it doesn't matter if you wear a robe.

Moreover, the temperature here is high during the day, but the temperature drops sharply at night, resulting in a large temperature difference. People here don't have to worry about cooling down at night if they wear thicker clothes.

Looking at it, Xiao Keke suddenly became interested in traditional Mongolian costumes. She even secretly decided to get a suit herself.

During this trip to Asia, the little guy got a set of local traditional costumes when he left Japan and Korea, so she still wants to get a set when she comes to Mongolia.

"At the beginning, the Soviets massacred more than 100,000 lamas. Although the official data only wrote 3,000, you have to understand how unreliable the official data is, especially when it comes to this kind of thing." Matthews' tone was playful.

As for Matthews' statement, Kim Hyun-tae basically agrees.

"Lamas, old aristocrats, intellectuals, and even those who expressed dissatisfaction with that movement were all purged by the Soviets. This caused more than 70% of the high-level Mongolian politicians and military generals to disappear, or simply were massacred, and died unnaturally."

Although Matthews talked about this matter, his tone was very flat.

But when Jin Xiantai heard this, he felt cold from the bottom of his heart.

"Climbing and biting! People who can't stand the torture. At that time, most of them would choose to bite other people for their own sake, so there were not a few people who died wrongfully for this. Although you don't know the method of kgb, you should have heard of it. Their methods are beyond the reach of ordinary people."

Because the vehicle is American, and the driver is also American, so Matthews can talk about this matter with Kim Hyun-tae in the car without any worries or scruples.

This also allowed Kim Hyun-tae to understand the historical information of Mongolia in a different time and space.

Matthews said that he was very interested, which was cheap for Kim Hyun-tae.

After all, listening to what Matthews said is always more accurate than searching for such information on the Internet.

"Such movements happened many times in the early days of Mongolia, so those who dared to speak out and disagree with some policies of the Soviet Union are not alive. So those who can come to the front of the stage to hold important positions in the government, you say What kind of people will they be? At the same time, what kind of attitude will these people have toward the Soviet Union?"

That's what Matthews said. It is more in-depth than what is often said immediately, and it can also give people a deeper understanding of the psychology of Mongolian politicians.

Heard that from Matthews. If Jin Xiantai still can't make an accurate judgment, then he is really an idiot.

It is obvious and very clear that people in Mongolia are very afraid of the Soviet Union, because they have been killed by the Soviets and have no will to resist.

Therefore, it is no wonder that the Mongolian Congress has such an attitude towards other countries. This is entirely for the sake of showing the Soviets, and at the same time expressing that they have no dissent.

"How many people did the Soviet Union kill?"

Kim Hyun-tae asked after his eyelids twitched.

After thinking for a while, Matthews said: "According to the Soviet Union's official statement, there were three campaigns, and less than 20,000 people were purged. Mongolia's official data followed the Soviet Union, and it was also around this number, but according to the statistics of the United States and other countries. Judging from the data, a conservative estimate should be around 700,000 people, which was one-tenth of the total population of Mongolia at that time."

Fuck me, one tenth of the people were purged. This statistic is really scary.

After hearing this, Jin Xiantai couldn't help being speechless.

Although it is just cold data, it is an indisputable fact that there are fresh lives behind this number.

I can't imagine how cruel the truth behind this history is. Anyway, Kim Hyun-tae's hairs stood on end after hearing it.

"The Mongolians are willing to be ostriches, each of them is willing to think about this matter, and the Soviets simply don't care, but what I can tell you is that we know that there are many mass graves here. After all, it is impossible for so few people to Not a trace."

Matthews suddenly said this to Kim Hyun-tae.

Huh!

Hearing what Matthews said, a trace of doubt flashed in Jin Xiantai's heart.

What are you doing with these mass graves?

Is it possible?

Kim Hyun-tae thought of a slight possibility.

Soon, Matthews gave Kim Hyun-tae an answer.

Matthews lowered his voice, and whispered to Jin Xiantai: "Find these places first. Although they are not used now, they may be useful in the future, so that's not necessarily true."

[Sure enough, as I guessed, the United States still has some ideas about the Soviet Union. ], Kim Hyun-tae secretly speculated in his heart, and at the same time thought [Did I write the stuff that subverted the Soviet Union and show it to Old George? 】

Regarding this idea, Kim Hyun-tae is a little hesitant for the time being... (To be continued.)
