The Soviet Union: What holes did the United States and the Soviet Union dig for New China?

When it comes to the Soviet Union, many people’s first impression is that of an upright big brother. In the early days of the founding of New China, he helped us build industry and provided various kinds of help. He was a reliable ally, although later Chen Bing border , threatening border security, but overall, the impression is still very good.

Big Brother of the Soviet Union

However, in fact, our big brother once joined forces with the United States to dig many holes for the newly formed New China, which caused undercurrents in the newly established New China. We are in turmoil and surrounded by dangers, but fortunately we have a great man who made us truly stand up in the pinch between the United States and the Soviet Union! The Yalta Agreement - the beginning of the Soviet Union's digging of holes

In 1945, World War II had come to an end. At this time, Japan was already declining, but it still resisted and refused to surrender. In order to win over the Soviet Union, the United States declared war on Japan. During the Yalta Conference, a secret agreement was signed with the Soviet Union, many of which related to the sovereignty of China, which was still in the old society at that time, including the following:

1. The status quo in Outer Mongolia must be maintained;

2. Maintain the priority rights and interests of the Soviet Union in Dalian Port and internationalize Dalian Port;

3. Restore the lease rights of the Soviet naval base in Lushun Port;

4. China and the Soviet Union established a joint operation to jointly operate the China-Changchun Railway and the South Manchuria Railway, and protect the priority interests of the Soviet Union;

5. Maintain the integrity of the sovereignty of the Republic of China in Manchuria.

The Big Three of the Yalta Conference

These were the price the Soviet Union paid for sending troops to Japan, and they were also the dividends the Soviet Union received. These dividends satisfied the Soviet Union’s own interests and were full of malice towards China at that time. !

Independence of Outer Mongolia: From Xinjiang to Northeast China, a large gap was opened in the middle of northern China. The Soviet Union could easily enter Xinjiang from the west and the three eastern provinces from the east. It could maintain a long-term high-pressure posture against Beijing. Once something happens, the Soviet Union will approach Beijing at the shortest distance and fastest speed. When China and the Soviet Union were tense in the 1960s and 1970s, the Soviet Union stationed millions of troops on the border, putting great pressure on northern security!

Port Arthur and Dalian: Since the Tsarist period, Russia has been looking for ports to the sea, especially valuable ice-free ports. Port Arthur and Dalian were the ports acquired during the Tsarist period, but they were defeated in the Russo-Japanese War. , were snatched away by the Japanese, and now through the Yalta Agreement, the Soviet Union has regained the use of these two ports;

China-Changchun Railway: However, Dalian and Lushun are not bordering the Soviet Union, so the China-Changchun Railway is controlled by the Soviet Union The means of these two ports, the Zhongchang Railway starts from the territory of the Soviet Union, passes through Harbin, Changchun and finally reaches Lushun. The Soviet Union controls this route, which means it controls the sovereignty of the Northeast. As mentioned before, maintaining the integrity of the Republic of China's sovereignty in Manchuria has become a joke.

Zhongchang Railway (Middle East Railway)

This agreement is the shackles placed on China by the United States and the Soviet Union, making it impossible for China to maintain its sovereignty and even its national security. Assure! The Kuomintang’s calculations and the reneging Soviet Union

The Kuomintang’s calculations

The Kuomintang government nominally represented China at that time. On the eve of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the Kuomintang government signed the Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship and Alliance with the Soviet Union, officially By acknowledging the provisions of the Yalta Agreement and sacrificing sovereignty, the Soviet Union supported the Kuomintang's commitment to accept Northeast China.

How important is the Northeast at this time? At that time, the industrial strength of the Northeast was second to none in the country. The output of Gangshan alone reached 1.33 million tons at its peak, while the output of other regions was less than 100,000 tons. In other words, whoever gets the Northeast has the capital to compete for the world. Therefore, The Kuomintang government will seize the Northeast at all costs!
