Chapter 701 Total
Lenin once said when he was still alive. To return the Asian lands plundered by the Tsar to the Asian people, he promised that when the Chinese revolution succeeded, Mongolia would naturally become a part of China.
But after Lenin's death, Stalin completely betrayed Lenin's promise. He killed a deputy minister of defense who had recorded Lenin's speech, and then refused to acknowledge what Lenin had said. From then on, he could no longer hear it in the Soviet Union. Even though there were calls to return Mongolia, the Soviet army still stayed in Outer Mongolia.
In February 1945, at the Yalta Conference on ending World War II, an important issue for the United States and Britain was to win over the Soviet Union to participate in the war against Japan, thereby reducing their own losses. In order to achieve this goal, they did not hesitate to betray China's interests, agreed to the Soviet Union's unreasonable demands, and accepted the status quo of Outer Mongolia, that is, they recognized and asked the Chinese government to recognize the "Mongolian People's Republic".
This deal was actually conducted between Roosevelt and Stalin. Chiang Kai-shek could not get the support of Roosevelt. Faced with the heavy pressure of Stalin, he had no choice but to sign the "Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship and Alliance" with the Soviet Union. In the treaty China officially recognizes the right of the "Mongolian People's Republic" to vote for independence.
Such a huge cost. Finally, the Soviet Union sent troops to Northeast China, but Japan immediately announced its unconditional surrender, making the Soviet Union's move to send troops to Northeast China meaningless.
After Chiang Kai-shek retreated to Taiwan, he was indignant at Stalin's failure to abide by the terms of the Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship and Alliance. He sued the Soviet Union at the United Nations on the grounds that the Soviet Union had breached the Treaty. This was the so-called "Soviet Charge Case." Although the mainland had changed hands at that time, Chiang Kai-shek still had representation in the United Nations and was a permanent member of the Security Council. He declared the Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship and Alliance invalid, thereby not recognizing the independence of Outer Mongolia, which the United Nations recognized. This is the legal basis for the territory of Taiwan’s “Republic of China” to include Outer Mongolia.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, everything needed to be revitalized, and it needed a lot of assistance from the Soviet Union. It was the first time a generation of leaders visited the Soviet Union. They planned to discuss the land north of Heilongjiang and east of Lake Balkhash and the issue of Outer Mongolia with Stalin, but they were all frustrated. Stalin's snub.
After Stalin passed away and Khrushchev came to power, the country began to negotiate with the Soviet Union again in an attempt to resolve some historical issues including Mongolia. Through negotiations, the Soviet Union returned the Luda military port and the management rights of the Northeast Railway. However, when China raised the Mongolian issue, it was flatly rejected by Khrushchev, and China once again lost the opportunity to regain Mongolian sovereignty.
At this time, times had changed and it was no longer possible to take back Mongolia. Therefore, although Yeltsin thought about it, he did not expect Fan Wubing to have any other ideas. After all, that is unrealistic.
Mongolia has iron, coal mines, oil and other mineral resources, that's for sure, but as for Russia, it can't exploit its own domestic resources, so why worry about other people's wealth?
Fan Wubing wanted to obtain the mineral exploration and mining rights in Mongolia.
Yeltsin can understand. After all, Mongolia is very close to China, and the transportation cost after mining is relatively small, which is also in line with the requirement of maximizing economic returns.
"We cannot interfere in other countries' internal affairs -" Yeltsin thought for a moment and then said to Fan Wubing.
Fan Wubing immediately curled his lips and thought to himself, you all used to directly station troops. Can that be called non-interference in other countries' internal affairs? In other words, they have long treated Mongolia as their own vegetable garden. Of course, they do not regard Mongolia as another country. Naturally, there is no argument for interfering in other countries' internal affairs.
Yeltsin went on to say, "However, we can influence their decisions."
After hearing this, Fan Wubing suddenly felt like scolding others. Once he became a politician, his words would be roundabout. Even someone like Yeltsin, who has always been regarded as straightforward figure. Not exempt from vulgarity.
Of course, Fan Wubing was not interested in whether Yeltsin interfered in other people's internal affairs or exerted a certain influence on others. What he was concerned about was that Yeltsin could allow him to enter the resource market of Mongolia and at the same time be in the resource market of Russia. If you occupy a larger market share, you can achieve your expected goals.
In order to increase the temptation for Yeltsin, Fan Wubing then said, "I took a look and found that Russia's current foreign and domestic debts add up to 220 billion U.S. dollars. The pressure is still relatively high. In order to show that To show my sincerity, I can even pay about 50 billion US dollars in advance as economic assistance to help Russia get rid of the economic oppression of Western countries as soon as possible. This part is interest-free economic assistance. Of course, if your government provides some resources in exchange. If so, I can’t ask for it.”
After Yeltsin heard Fan Wubing's words, he immediately felt energetic, even more obvious than when Fan Wubing treated him just now. It's no wonder that political achievements are the panacea for politicians. Nowadays, such a big share With the cake placed in front of him, Yeltsin had to say that the temptation was too great and he had no reason to refuse.
However, Yeltsin still held back and said to Fan Wubing, "I need to think about this matter."
Fan Wubing was naturally not concerned about himself. In fact, he had already seen it clearly. Yeltsin was tempted, and the reason why he held back now was mainly because he wanted to be careful, and at least give an explanation to Putin, who was about to take over government affairs. The two of them had to discuss whether this matter could be done and how it should be done, so Fan Wubing was very worried. Say goodbye soon.
Sure enough, after Fan Wubing left, Yeltsin asked his staff to quickly contact Putin, who was negotiating with other departments, to discuss important matters.
After Putin rushed back in a hurry, he saw Yeltsin looking smug and ambitious, and his complexion looked very different. He was full of energy, and he was not as sick as he was when they last met.
"Varodia, I have something big to tell you today." Seeing Putin's feelings, Yeltsin said to him excitedly, "Fan Investment Group intends to join our domestic mineral resources development. The initial investment is about three hundred. At the same time, Fanshi Investment Group also expressed its willingness to provide 50 billion US dollars in interest-free loan financial assistance to help us repay the loans from Western countries as soon as possible and get rid of the heavy economic burden as soon as possible. "
Putin was also stunned after hearing this. At this time, he only held a high position in the government. He was ready to take over the Russia entrusted by Yeltsin, but he had not really entered the role of the country's master, so it was not possible to truly understand Yeltsin's intentions for a while.
"Would this mean that tigers are rejected at the front door and wolves are admitted at the back door?" Putin is very worried about sending away a god of plague, and then an even more plagued god comes in. Who knows what Fan Wubing will do to things?
Yeltsin smiled and shook his head, and then in a good mood, he briefly and concisely told Putin about the conversation he had just had with Fan Wubing, and finally said, "Just taking over Mongolia's exploration rights and mining rights, for us, There is no loss, but the benefits are immeasurable. I think this matter can be seriously considered. "
"Since Mr. President thinks it's feasible, I don't think there's anything to object to." Putin thought for a moment and said, "But the other party doesn't even care about the controlling stake. Obviously, he is relatively confident in our government. , for this reason, the economic policies implemented for them should be more preferential, at least more preferential than other foreign companies. "
Putin also has more things to consider, especially since he knows Fan Wubing’s great influence in China and the world economy. If the cooperative relationship between Russia and Fan Investment Group can be used as a successful When the model appears in front of the world, it can play a very important role in promoting Russia's future external development. This aspect is of great significance, so he proposed to take care of the Fan Investment Group.
"The Chinese have an allusion, which is called a thousand pieces of gold to buy a horse's bones. We can also imitate it. Moreover, Fan's Investment Group is a real horse that deserves to be treated kindly. If the Russian economy is to recover, these powerful large companies are very much needed. Participate in domestic economic construction," Putin then told Yeltsin.
Yeltsin nodded in agreement, satisfied with the opinion of his chosen successor.
He noticed Putin. Five years ago, Yeltsin, who was extremely tired from government affairs, wanted to relax by hunting, so he accepted a kind invitation from the governor of Leningrad Region to participate in hunting activities in the countryside.
There were not many people accompanying him that time, eleven in total, all high-ranking officials. Everyone was wearing camouflage uniforms and carrying shotguns. Yeltsin noticed a latecomer who was wearing a camouflage uniform that fit him perfectly and looked like a soldier. He was holding a shotgun and looked very confident, as if he was hugging a beloved woman. That person was Putin.
At that time, Putin was the first deputy chairman of the municipal government. Just when Yeltsin and others were deeply engaged in chatting, an accident happened. A wild boar suddenly rushed out. At that time, Yeltsin's glasses fell to the ground, and his entourage hid under the table to look for them. The situation was critical.
Then, Yeltsin heard two gunshots, and Putin hit the wild boar in the heart.
It was from this time that Yeltsin slowly got to know Putin, and then he felt that he was a tough, uncompromising and quick-thinking person. Russia needs such a person. Everything happened as he predicted, Putin and everyone Different performances made Yeltsin pay more attention to him, and even thought of entrusting the entire Russia into his hands.
