1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

The ruling class of our country is the broad masses of the people?

Well, ideals are very fulfilling.

In short, whether it is for the purpose of popularizing the law or for suppressing those crappy legal elites, Fujiwara Kanezane has always been firmly opposed to "closed-door trials" and "confidential files."

Since you have a clear conscience, what are you afraid of?

If the people want to watch, let them watch!

As long as you are fair enough, can the sky fall?

If the results of your trial are in serious conflict with the perceptions of the vast majority of ordinary people, then either there is something wrong with the law or there is something wrong with you.

The experience of a female boss in Jingdezhen proves that as long as you judge the case according to the law, most Chinese people firmly believe that "every injustice has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor."

Back to the point.

Because most of the people in Outer Mongolia were still in a state of confusion, fear, or even complete ignorance, there was no need for words like "silence" and the public trial officially began soon.

The subjects of the trial were naturally all Soviet military and political personnel stationed in Outer Mongolia and all officials of the "pseudo Mongolian People's Republic".

It sounds like a huge scale, but because Mongolia itself has a very small population, and the puppet organization's regime is even worse than the Genghis Khan era, there are actually not that many people.

Including ordinary soldiers and mining professionals, there are only a few thousand people who need to be interrogated. For the Northeast cadres who are already familiar with the work, this is not a big burden.

Moreover, because of the advance arrangements, the public trial became very intense from the beginning, which opened the eyes of the Mongolian people who knew nothing about this new thing.

"...It was them! It was them! It was them who killed Damdin and Tenzin!"

Choibalsan stood at the front of the stage and pointed at the Soviet officials in a stern voice and said:

“It was they who killed the great and respected Jebtsundamba!

Who are these three people?

The first two are Damdin Sukhbaatar, the former Mongolian Minister of Military Affairs and Commander-in-Chief of the People's Army, and his successor Tenzin, who founded the Mongolian People's Party together with Choibalsan. The latter is Mongolia's "reincarnated living Buddha" and a former religious leader.

Although the three men had different political views (the first two advocated the independence of Outer Mongolia, and the latter advocated returning to China), they all had high prestige among the Mongolian people and opposed external forces (especially the Soviet Union) interfering in Mongolia's internal affairs;

Then, they all died inexplicably at about the same time. Tenzin was even arrested and immediately executed at a party meeting because he opposed full Sovietization. There have always been rumors among the Mongolian people that they were killed by the Soviets, and this time it was confirmed.

Although Choibalsan was also involved in the deaths of these three people, it did not prevent him from putting all the blame on the Soviets.

The Soviets "forced" me to do it, but it was also done by the Soviets!

There was complete silence on the Soviet side.

There is no way. It happened almost ten years ago, and the Soviet officials stationed in Outer Mongolia have been replaced several times. Kazanin, the only person who may know the inside story, is not here yet. No one knows how to refute it even if they want to.

Watching Choibalsan "quoting from classics" on the stage, Fujiwara no Kanezane yawned in boredom.

In his eyes, whether they are living Buddhas or "former separatists", they are all scum that should be crushed into pieces by the rolling wheels of the times and are not worth mentioning.

If they were really alive, it would be a trouble.

It is easier to deal with a guy like Qiao Yan Bashan who is flexible and has no bottom line.

Although Choibalsan was throwing dirty water on the Soviets, he kept his eyes on the "new master" on the rostrum. Seeing that the other party was not interested, he suddenly felt a pang in his heart.

What's going on?

Is it that my accusation is not strong enough?

Then he revealed how the Soviet Union was carrying out "de-Sinicization", how it established the "Mongolian Revolutionary Youth League" to seize power, how it promoted "pro-Soviet and anti-China" and so on.

As a result, Fujiwara no Kanezane still looked lazy and even seemed a little impatient.

Wait, let me think..

what!

Yes!

What does the death of one or two Mongolian "independence advocates" matter?

From Fujiwara Kanezane's perspective, this might be a good thing!

As for "pro-Soviet and anti-China".

Fujiwara no Kanezane is Japanese!

He says "China and Japan are one family", but who knows what he really thinks!

Didn’t the Soviet Union also say it would “absolutely protect Mongolia”? But in the end, it refused to even recognize the Mongolian government!

But what should I say to win his favor?

Woolen cloth?

Choibalsan was extremely anxious because he felt that his performance was not good enough and could not satisfy his new master, but the others did not think so. Instead, they showed complex expressions such as admiration, fear, and anger.

This guy Choibalsan is too bold and too determined to change his stance.

Now!

no!

Can't be compared to him!

Choibalsan is a man who is good at scheming. What if the Japanese get as licked as the Soviets and only recognize Choibalsan?

As a result, a group of Mongolian high-ranking officials jumped out one after another, each one more vigorous than the other in accusing the Soviets of various crimes committed in Outer Mongolia.

Of course, because of Fujiwara no Kanezane's previous debate with the Soviets, everyone's accusations mainly focused on "political crimes" such as "splitting China" and "attacking Japan."

Now the Soviets were angry.

damn it!

Fujiwara no Kanezane's beating of us was a fight between nations, and we lost because we were inferior in skill;

What are you dogs called who knelt before us and begged for meat patties?

What!

It is normal for people to hit each other, and if you can't win, then beg for mercy, there is no shame in that;

But if a dog bites someone, it must be beaten to death with two sticks!!

Isn't that just throwing dirty water?

As if anyone wouldn't!

That little "political struggle" of yours in Outer Mongolia is nothing!

We Soviets escaped from a dungeon in hell.

of!

So, the Soviets present at the scene also began to "expose on the spot" They did not try to refute the well-known facts, but only told the parts that the Mongolian officials deliberately concealed.

Oh, we are not clean, and you are not any better!

A dog-eat-dog competition has begun.

At first, both sides were just exposing each other's crimes, but later it turned into personal attacks.

You call me a "Slavic bear" and I call you a "Mongol Tartar" or something like that.

Even the Mongolian Prime Minister, Pelidi Genden, could not help but loudly refute the Soviets when they accused them of being corrupt, incompetent, and a group of uncivilized yellow monkeys:

"You say we destroyed Mongolia's economy? It was obviously you! It was you who misjudged 'class composition' and caused the massive riots across Mongolia last year! It caused countless Mongolian people to suffer misery!"

Hey, you idiots, you finally talked about what I was concerned about.

It's not fucking easy.

Fujiwara no Kaneshiro sighed inwardly, then, with just the right amount of curiosity, interrupted, "I've heard of the Soviet class system, and it seems to work well back home. But is there any problem with applying it to the Mongolian steppes? Why did it lead to the Great Famine in Mongolia?"

Genden couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

According to class division, this person would probably be shot ten times and have his property confiscated a hundred times.

Although he was a tough guy who opposed excessive Sovietization and collectivization and dared to say anything and do anything when drunk, at this moment, Gendeng was not drinking and his mind was relatively clear and pragmatic. He did not want to be beheaded for no reason.

(This man went to Moscow, drank, and faced Stalin's scolding, he actually cursed him "You bloody Georgian, you have actually become a red tsar", and then smashed Stalin's pipe along with the benches, tables and chairs to pieces)

Just when Gendun was hesitating whether to "show integrity" or "show goodwill", his political opponent Choibalsan had already grasped the key point and could not wait to explain:

"Your Highness! It's like this..."

It turned out that after taking control of Outer Mongolia, the Soviet Union brought over the "class division" system completely, and "divided the Mongolian people into classes" according to the standard of "500 ewes are feudal lords, 60 are rich herders, 50 are middle-rich herders, 12 are middle herders, and less than 12 are poor herders."

On the surface, it seems reasonable, but the Soviets overlooked a problem.

The grassland is not the inland with abundant resources, and the herders are not farmers with relatively stable output.

At that time, the survival of an ordinary herder depended entirely on his livestock. Due to the immaturity of medical and breeding technologies, the loss rate of livestock was very high. Once a snowstorm or plague occurred, it was very likely that he would lose everything overnight.

Therefore, an ordinary adult herder generally needs to raise 20 sheep to ensure basic survival, and 30 sheep to barely achieve food and clothing. If in the more desolate Gobi area, this standard will have to be raised.

See the problem?

According to Soviet standards, the herders, who could only barely make ends meet, were suddenly classified as middle-class herders of the "reactionary class." Not only were their properties confiscated, but they also suffered all kinds of discrimination and harsh treatment.

Later, even the poorer middle-level and poor-level herders were unable to keep their livestock; all of their livestock were confiscated and transferred to collective pastures. In the most extreme period, a family of five could only keep the equivalent of six ewes (about 300 Mongolian tuliks), and the rest had to be handed over.

(You can think for yourself whether 6 sheep are enough to live on)

In 1930 alone, Outer Mongolia confiscated a total of 520 million MNT worth of property. By the time the "Mongolian Nomads' Rebellion" broke out in 1932, a total of 1000 million MNT had been fined (mainly because there was really no more money to be fined).

What's even worse is that in order to protest the oppression of the Soviet Union, Outer Mongolian herders deliberately slaughtered livestock. By 1933, the number of livestock of all kinds had dropped to less than half of that in 1929.

Thus, famine and rebellion broke out under such circumstances.

NS...

…The hateful Soviets used airplanes and artillery to suppress the herders’ uprising, and also massacred any herders who dared to slaughter livestock without permission and anyone who dared to flee Outer Mongolia, leaving us with a debt of 3000 million rubles!”

Having said that, Choibalsan, who was acting, couldn't help but show a hint of anger and compassion, and then began to flatter:

"If Your Highness had not established a new country in Northeast China, putting pressure on the Soviet Union, who knows whether that bastard Stalin would have continued to suppress it!"

This time, before Fujiwara Kanezane could continue to offer guidance, a Soviet man sneered and retorted:

We massacred herdsmen? Who were the ones who asked us to lend them arms and money to suppress the rebellion? Weren't they you Mongols?"

"That is..."

"Oh, our orders, right? Then during collectivization, they were trying every possible way to make money, forcibly classifying poor herders as middle-class herders and extorting them, and accepting bribes from rich herders to classify them as poor herders. So, that was also our order?"

"You...you are talking nonsense!

"You're talking nonsense! I have evidence here!

Click

The "sinners" from both the Soviet and Mongolian sides started arguing fiercely again, not noticing at all that the eyes of the herdsmen watching this farce in the audience were already very strange.

It turns out that the princes and lamas who exploited us in the past were bastards, and the Soviets who later occupied Mongolia were also bastards. And the Mongolian People's Party that secretly told us "this is all the Soviets' fault" is still a fucking bastard?

So who is the good person who truly cares about us?

Fujiwara Kanezane sat on the podium and elegantly took a sip of green tea that had been delivered from Wuyi Mountain and other places only after the "collectivization" was stopped and normal trade was resumed this year.

Mmm, it smells so good.

569 The Red Army is completely destroyed, Outer Mongolia changes hands, and the Soviet Union remains silent

If the CCP’s history books say that “the revolutionary foundation in a certain place is very good and the masses are very willing to participate in the revolution,” then another way of saying it is “the suffering in this place is really too much, too great, and too heavy.”

Coincidentally, Outer Mongolia is such a place.

There must be a reason why only 700,000 to 800,000 people live on such a vast land.

Tribal leaders, Lama Buddha, Manchu Tartars, Beiyang warlords, Soviet bears... everyone took turns to cultivate the land intensively and exploit the resources unsustainably. It would be strange if the local people did not suffer.

Logically, holding a "public trial" in such a place should be similar to the Red Army's "grievance conference" and "Inner Mongolia Cavalry Division Reform" in Inner Mongolia. The people are generally numb and don't even know what "human" means.

But Outer Mongolia is a little different in that, like inland China, it has produced people like Damudin and Tenzin who are similar to Sun Yat-sen, and have planted a seed in the hearts of the people.

Among these "benevolent and ambitious people", it can even be said that there is Choibalsan, who used to follow the Soviets like a tapeworm and now kneels in front of Fujiwara Kanezane begging for mercy.

Because, regardless of whether their purpose is pure or not, regardless of whether they have forgotten their original intention or not, regardless of whether their propositions are in line with China's interests, objectively speaking, their actions have greatly promoted the awakening of the Mongolian people;

At the very least, this group of people began to understand that the "princes and lamas" on the grassland could be replaced, and that commoners of humble origins like Choibalsan could also ascend to high positions.

If not, the "Great Mongolian Nomads' Uprising" in 1932, which was so vigorous that it forced Stalin to make concessions and temporarily stop collectivization, would probably not have happened at all.
