    According to the "Yalta Agreement", in August 1945, the Soviet Union sent troops to Northeast and North Korea in three directions: east, west and north, annihilating 700,000 Kwantung Army and 200,000 puppet troops, launching a final blow against Japan's Kwantung Army, and finally forced Japan to  The government surrendered completely and unconditionally.

    Some people say that the reason why China was able to defeat the Japanese invaders was because the atomic bomb dropped by the United States prompted Japan to surrender. Some people say that it was because the Soviet army declared war on Japan and sent troops to Northeast China.

    It is undeniable that the atomic bomb and the Soviet army were important factors in prompting Japan's quick surrender, but truly knowledgeable people know that the help of the Soviet Union and the United States was only an external factor, and more importantly, it was our own persistence.

    Since the "September 18th Incident", China began a 14-year arduous war of resistance against Japan. In the end, we won the war after paying an extremely heavy price.  If we did not have the persistence of people from the north and the south, young and old, and the hard work of every inch of river and every inch of blood, China would have perished long ago, and we would still have to wait until the international situation changes suddenly.

    What¡¯s more, whether it¡¯s the United States or the Soviet Union, they never help us unconditionally. We have to pay an unimaginable price behind every move.

    The United States helps us because they need our soldiers to sacrifice their lives for them, so the Chinese Expeditionary Force has sent troops to the battlefield in Myanmar, and some have been betrayed again and again.

    The same is true for the Soviets. The reason why the Soviet army sent troops to Northeast China to help us eliminate the Japanese Kwantung Army was, in Li Guoyao's view, nothing more than a transaction between major powers and had nothing to do with the Soviet Union's sympathy for the Chinese people.

    You must know that when the Soviet Union sent troops to Northeast China, the war on the European battlefield was over, and the three major fascist countries of Germany, Italy, and Japan were only left with Japan, which was struggling to survive.  In order to end the war as soon as possible, the Soviet army began to gather on the Soviet-Chinese border, ready to help our country "liberate" Northeast China.

    But what many people don¡¯t expect is that the ¡°troop costs¡± for the Soviet troops to send troops to Northeast China are very low. Just the five conditions that the United States agreed to cost us China an unimaginable price.

    The five conditions are: maintaining the status quo in Outer Mongolia; internationalizing Dalian Commercial Port and ensuring the Soviet Union¡¯s superior rights in the port; the Soviet Union leases Port Arthur as a naval base; southern Sakhalin and all adjacent islands must be returned to the Soviet Union; the Middle East Railway  and the South-Manchuria Railway were jointly operated by the Soviet Union and China; the Kuril Islands were returned to the Soviet Union.

    More importantly, the Soviets were not satisfied with having received so many benefits. In just nine months of sending troops to Northeast China, they completely emptied the entire Northeast industry, greatly weakening China's industrial base.

    On August 9, 1945, millions of Soviet Red Army troops launched an attack on the Japanese Kwantung Army in the Northeast and started a fierce battle.  In just a few days, the Soviet army killed 83,000 Kwantung Army soldiers and captured 594,000 people. The Japanese Kwantung Army, which had been entrenched in the three eastern provinces for 14 years, was wiped out.

    But before we had time to thank the Soviet Union, the latter exposed its ambitions.

    After defeating Japan, the Soviet army naturally could not easily withdraw from the country. Instead, it began "robbery behavior", but it was euphemistically called: troop expenses and compensation.

    By the end of the Anti-Japanese War, after years of painstaking efforts by the Japanese army, the total industrial production in Northeast China had exceeded that of Japan itself, and Northeast China had truly become the base for Japan¡¯s invasion of China and Southeast Asia.

    After Japan surrendered, its industries in Northeast China naturally became the target of the Allies' attention.

    The Chinese people fought bloody war for eight years. Counting from the time when the Northeast Anti-Japanese Democratic Alliance fought against Japan after the September 18th Incident, the Chinese people fought against Japan for 14 years.  The Chinese people made the greatest national sacrifices and made the greatest contributions in the world's anti-Japanese fascist war.

    It is a matter of course that all Japanese assets in China should be used as war compensation against China, both in terms of justice and law.

    When negotiations on the Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship and Alliance between China and the Soviet Union began in 1945, the Nationalist Government clearly instructed Chinese representative Song Ziwen: ¡°All the original industries and machinery in Northeast my country should be owned by our country, in order to prevent the Japanese pirates from repaying their war debts to us. Part of this should be discussed or declared with the Soviet side."

    Stalin also agreed with China¡¯s legitimate request at that time and supported China¡¯s appeal.

    After the end of the Anti-Japanese War, on September 18, 1945, the Chinese government proposed to the United States and the Soviet Union: "All property rights, deeds, interests and various properties belonging to Japan and Japanese nationals in Chinese territory, including houses, power plants, various  Factories, ships, docks, shipyards, machinery, mining, wire and radio equipment materials, railways, rolling stock, repair shops, etc. shall be deemed to have been ceded to China.¡±

    ¡°If any territory of China or Taiwan that the Allied Powers agree to return to China is stationed with Allied troops, all necessary and emergency measures should be taken to prevent the enemy from destroying it.nbsp; In just half a year, the Soviet army packed Japanese large-scale modern equipment into trucks and evacuated the entire Northeast.  When the national army arrived, all they received was ruins.

    In addition to removing machinery and equipment, the Soviet army also did not spare the clocks, furniture, and livestock in people's homes.

    Various regions in the Northeast were plundered by the Soviet army. From Changchun Bank alone, the Soviet army took away 700 million Manchurian coins, 36 kilograms of gold, more than 3,700 carats of diamonds, and valuable securities.

    According to investigation records, the Soviet army removed a total of US$860 million worth of machinery and equipment from the Northeast, and the total value of machinery and equipment that could not be taken away was approximately US$2 billion.  The hard work of dismantling equipment and destroying factories was all done by Kwantung Army prisoners. The plundered finances were transported by cargo ships to Vladivostok and then transferred to ports within the Soviet Union.

    "The fruits of Japan's painstaking efforts in Northeast China for more than ten years were finally plundered by the Soviet Union. This may be something that China and Japan never dreamed of at the beginning of the war.

    The Soviet Union was severely weakened by Germany during World War II, so at the end of World War II, it plundered everywhere to regain blood.  It can be said that the Soviet Union had already had intentions when it sent 1.5 million troops to attack the weak Kwantung Army.

    Therefore, if possible, Li Guoyao does not want to send troops to the Northeast in large numbers. Even if he sends troops, he will try to control them in the North Manchuria area instead of letting these bandit-like guys control the entire Northeast, because that will be a huge war for China.  disaster.
