"Mr. Lin, Mr. Li, let's sit down and talk." Lu Shan made a gesture of asking for a seat and turned his head to Yang Shangwu, "Monk, make us a pot of tea!"

"Yes, Mr. Lu!" Yang Shangwu nodded, opened the door, and walked out...

"Two gentlemen, this time I invite you to come mainly for the Luquan of the Middle East Road." Lu Shan said straight to the point.

Lin Zhongdan and Li Zifen heard this and couldn't help looking at each other, both of whom saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.

The Middle East Railway is a railway built by the Russians on our territory in order to plunder and invade China and control the Far East.

The Middle East Railway is the abbreviation of "China East Qing Railway", so it is also called "East Qing Railway" and "East Provincial Railway".

With Harbin as the center, it reaches Manzhouli in the west, Suifenhe in the east, and Dalian in the south.

The Middle East Railway is a "Ding"-shaped railway.

It starts from Manzhouli in the west, passes through Hailar, Zalantun, Angangxi, Qiqihar, Harbin and Suifenhe, and crosses the Heilongjiang and Jilin provinces at that time.

The branch line runs south from Harbin, passes through Changchun, Chenyang, etc., and ends at Lushunkou, and runs across Jilin and Liaoning provinces.

The total length of the Central and Eastern Railway trunk lines and branch lines is 2,400 kilometers, and is part of the Siberian Railway that connects Europe and Asia.

In May 1896, Tsar Nicholas II held a coronation ceremony, and Li Hongzhang participated in the coronation ceremony on behalf of the Qing government. Under the coercion and temptation of Tsarist Russia, Li Hongzhang signed the "Secret Agreement of China-Russia" on behalf of the Qing government.

In September of the same year, China and Russia signed the "Contract Articles of Association of Jointly Established Eastern Railway Company", which stipulated that Russia had construction rights and management rights over the proposed Middle East Railway, and appointed China-Russia Daosheng Bank to undertake it.

Railway stocks are nominally owned by Chinese and Russian businessmen, and are limited to 80 years. After the expiration of the period, the railway and its property will all belong to China.

From the date of opening to traffic, 36 years later, the Chinese government has the right to "recover" the railway. At the same time, the contract also stipulates that China provides road construction land without paying for land prices; the width and driving regulations of the railway are the same as those of domestic railways in Russia, and Russia has the right to transport troops for free.

Russia used the railway to transport goods to Russia to be exempted from taxes, etc., and China's sovereignty in railway areas was completely lost.

After the Russo-Japanese War, Japan and Russia signed the Treaty of Portsmouth, and the southern section was occupied by Japan, called the South Manchuria Railway.

After the October Revolution of Soviet Russia, the Soviet government issued declarations to China three times, announcing the abolition of all treaties concluded by previous Russian governments with the Chinese government, abandoning all the territory it had seized before, and expressing its willingness to be friendly with China.

However, with Lenin's death, Stalin came to power. The Soviet government did not give up its interests in China during the Tsarist Russia period, but inherited all the rights and interests of the Tsarist Russian Empire in China.

On May 31, 1924, China and the Soviet Union signed the "Summit on the Solving of Unexpected Cases of China and Russia" and the "Interim Management of the Middle East Railway Agreement" in Beijing through negotiations, and China and the Soviet Union immediately resumed diplomatic relations.

According to these two agreements, the Soviet Union actually inherited all the rights obtained by Tsarist Russia in accordance with the "Contract Articles of Contract for the Joint Joint of the Eastern Provincial Railway Company" signed in 1896. The agreement stipulates that the Middle East Railway is jointly organized by Sino-Soviet Railway.

The Chinese and Soviet governments declare that the Middle East Railway is "purely commercial" and except for the business affairs of the road itself, the business affairs directly under the road. All matters related to the Chinese state and other sovereignty, such as justice, civil affairs, military affairs, police, municipal affairs, taxation, land acres, etc., will be handled by the Chinese government.

The organization and management of railways mainly follows the practices of the Tsarist Russian era. The chairman is the Chinese and the railway director is the Soviet Union.

In July 1929, the Central East Road incident broke out, causing armed conflict.

The Northeast authorities forcibly revoked the telephone power of the Central East Road, and then searched the Soviet embassy in Kazakhstan and searched two boxes of secret information. It also claimed that the Soviet Communist Party held the "Third International Communist Propaganda Conference" in the cellar of the Soviet Russian Consulate in Harbin. On the grounds that "the Russian propaganda propaganda is a violation of the Russian Agreement", the senators arrested the stations along the Central East Road, the 36-shang area of ​​the factory workers' associations, the Soviet Merchant and Shipping Bureau, the Far East Kerosene Bureau, the Far East State Trade Bureau and other leaders arrested the Soviet Consul General in Kazakhstan, and at the same time closed the Soviet Union and forced the Soviet Founder of the Central East Road and the Deputy Director to suspend his post.

At that time, the Chinese organization urgently issued a declaration calling on the working people across the country to hold demonstrations on "International Anti-Red Day" to protest against imperialism and the attacks of the bourgeoisie on the Soviet Union.

The declaration states: The victory of the Soviet Union is the victory of the Chinese revolution, and the failure of the Soviet Union is the failure of the Chinese revolution! The failure of the Chinese revolution is the failure of the Soviet Union.

The slogan of "armed defense of the Soviet Union" was proposed at that time.

At this time, the "left-leaning" errors were spreading everywhere within the organization, and the later "October Letters" pushed the "left-leaning" error to a higher level.

The Soviet Union returned from gold, Wang Ming was pushed to a high position, and then Wang Ming went to the Soviet Union, and his agent Bogu became the puppet he controlled, controlling the power of the organization remotely in Moscow.

The Middle East Railway should have been returned to China long ago, and this was a product of the Tsarist Russian period in order to invade and occupy China's northern rights. The Middle East Railway Bureau said that it was jointly built and jointly launched by China and Russia. In fact, China did not gain any profit from it. Not only did most of the profits earned were taken away by the Russians, but the various treaties signed were not implemented seriously.

Among the Central and Eastern Railway railway workers, there are only 400 Chinese employees, while there are nearly 3,000 Russian employees.

Moreover, Chinese employees are only translators and low-level employees, and basically have no power. The Russians have the power to hold, and all the income from railway operations is deposited into Russian banks. China not only cannot get a little profit, but also does not have the right to know!

The documents of the Road Bureau are written by the Board of Directors and the resolutions of the Road Bureau meetings are in parallel with Chinese and Russian, and all financial settlements are subject to rubles.

It can be said that Russia has completely controlled the right to the Middle East Railway. After the defeat of the Middle East Road Battle, China has become even more capable of being a human being.

The current director of the Central East Railway, Lu Deyi and Deputy Director Jennisov, were recommended by the Soviet Union and completely controlled the power of the Central East Railway Bureau. After the Japanese occupied Harbour Bing, they managed to gain the rights and interests of China and turned the Sino-Soviet Middle East Railway, which was originally jointly operated by China, into the Soviet pseudo joint venture. In fact, the Japanese completely replaced China's position and obtained the interests of half of the equity of the Central East Railway!

Now, since the East Zong has occupied Harbin and will occupy the entire Heilongjiang area, the Middle East Railway will be within the control area of ​​the East Zong. Lu Shan naturally does not allow this railway artery to be controlled by others.

Not only can the Russians control it, but he also needs to change the orbital distance and change the original Russian narrow gauge to an international standard gauge.

However, it is very difficult to regain the rights of the Middle East Railway. First of all, the Soviets will definitely not give up their vested interests easily, especially this railway has important military value.

Secondly, this railway is a bargaining chip in the hands of the Soviet Union!

The annual income surplus of the Middle East Railway is as high as 20 million. If there is this 20 million, the military expenditure of the Eastern League will be almost the same for a year.

But this money is in the Russian bank, and he can't withdraw it even if he wants to. The money is settled in rubles, which is very troublesome to exchange. If the Russians don't cooperate, the money cannot be used even if it is in their hands!

A weak country has no diplomacy and has nothing to do with faith!

Even if it is the same belief. When it comes to specific interests, there is no class emotion. Sometimes even close comrades will become cruel and ruthless in an instant!

There is only interest between countries. The bloody lessons from later generations tell the Chinese that neighbors are more terrifying than strangers sometimes because they are familiar with you and are always thinking about turning your house and land into their own!

The Middle East Railway was too complicated, and it designed the design of the former Qing Dynasty and the later Beiyang government, as well as the Fengtian warlords signed a number of treaties with Tsarist Russia and the Soviet Union. This railway, which was originally in China, eventually became a country among the country, which was just a microcosm of the foreign aggression received in modern times.

The problem of the Middle East Railway is not only a political issue or an economic issue, but a problem related to the dignity of the Chinese nation!

Although Lu Shan has his own beliefs, he believes more that one thing is mine. If you snatch it away, I will not only take it back, but also get a hundred times the interest!

He must take back the right to the Middle East Railway, maybe not immediately, but the opportunity to take back will come soon. If the negotiations cannot be collected, then use force. Russia, a political disaster is about to begin!

Lu Shan even hopes to gain more benefits in this disaster!

However, now Lu Shan hopes to recover half of the right to road, at least he has his own voice in the Central East Railway Bureau, and he also needs to share the dividends of the Middle East Railway operation!

This should not be too difficult for the Russians to accept, because they also need their own. The Japanese occupied Harbing and Heilongjiang, which for him also violated their interests in China.

They were unwilling to deal with the Japanese, after all, there had been wars between them, and the Japanese army had interfered in their civil war, and they were even more disgusted and hated the Japanese and Russians.

And Japan is an empire, opposing organizational beliefs!

However, Lu Shan needed someone to help him communicate with the Russian side, and he thought of Lin Zhongdan and Li Zifen.

"I don't need to say the history of the Middle East Railway. The two know better than me that in order to invade our Northeast and dominate the Far East, the Tsarist Russian Empire forced the Qing government to sign a secret agreement and build this railway. Since the construction of this railway, there has not been a day since the beginning of its construction. First, it was Russians and then Japanese. Our own railway was not in our hands. The railway's affiliated areas were like a country in the country, darker than the concession. I won't talk about your organization, but please look at it from the standpoint of a Chinese, what is the difference between the Soviet Russian practice and the European and American powers riding on our Chinese? "Lu Shan asked calmly and loudly.

Lin Zhongdan and Li Ziwen looked at each other. Faced with Lu Shan's questioning, they both felt a little fever and red, and then lowered their heads in shame.

"I know that a large part of your funding is provided by the Communist International. Without them, you will face huge difficulties in survival. I can help you solve this problem. We Chinese people solve the problems of the Chinese themselves. We can learn their theories and accept their help, but we must not become their tools. We are a country with a history of a great power of 5,000 years. We must have our own ideas!" Lu Shanzhen said deafeningly.

A terrifying light appeared in Lin Zhongdan and Li Zifen's eyes. Lu Shan's remarks were too direct and too advanced. It was so true that they threw bombs one by one in their minds. They were so shocked that they were dizzy that they could not find Bei.

"Mr. Lu, what do you mean is to let us get out of GC International?" Lin Zhongdan asked boldly.

"Don't you think that this so-called Third International, or GC International organization is actually the biggest obstacle to restricting our Chinese organization from going its own way?"

"Can we do it on our own path?"

"Why can't you do it? If you don't leave, you won't know that it won't work. China's future decision is in the hands of us Chinese, so what does it have to do with outsiders?"

"It's ridiculous. Without the support of GC International, how can we learn from the advanced revolutionary experience of the Soviet Union, how can we build our party, and how can we lead the Chinese revolution forward?" Li Zifen retorted.

"Is the Soviet Union's experience necessarily correct, or is it feasible in the Soviet Union and China?" Lu Shan sneered, "It is difficult for oranges to grow in the Huai River to be oranges, but it is tangerines to grow in the Huai River to be tangerines. Our ancients have long understood such a simple truth."

"Mr. Lu is so smart. The Soviet Union's experience will only be applied to China if it is proven to be feasible. This shows that as long as it is correct experience, there should be no problem if we use it!" Li Zifen retorted.

"Mr. Li still keeps his experience with the Soviet Union. In fact, we might as well compare it with a few numbers to see how the national conditions of China and the Soviet Union?" Lu Shan said with a cold smile.

"First of all, let's compare the population and land area of ​​the Soviet Union and China?" Lu Shan said, "The population of the Soviet Union is about 200 million. China claims to be 400 million, which is 400 million, which is twice that of the Soviet Union. It's hard to say. If China completes unification, it should not be smaller than that of the Soviet Union. Do you agree with my statement?"

Lin Zhongdan and Li Zi nodded.

"Let me compare how many farmers, workers, and enterprises there are in the Soviet Union, how much steel, how much grain and cotton they produce each year, what is the data from China?" Lu Shan asked back.

"What is the economic composition of the Soviet Union, and what is the proportion of industry, agriculture and service industries in the domestic economy?" Lu Shan asked again.

Lin Zhongdan and Li Zifen were stunned. They were really not very clear about these data. Except for some of them, the others were confused.

"The level of education in the Soviet Union, what is the proportion of the total population with a university degree or above, how many people with a high school degree or above, how many people with a illiterate person? What are the differences in ethnic customs, habits and concepts?"

"What does this have to do with learning the Soviet Union's experience?" Li Zifen asked back.

"The relationship is so big. With the same organizational method, the October Revolution in the Soviet Union was successful. How many riots have we organized? How many successes have we organized?"

"That's because we lack experience, and we miscalculated the strength of the domestic reactionary forces and the betrayal of the Kuomintang, so we failed." Li Zifen defended.
