Chapter 555 Gan Dunzhu was warned
Everyone who saw this scene was stunned. They didn’t expect that the usually docile Gendeng would get angry.
I didn’t expect there would be something even more explosive to come!
Gendun raised his right hand and slapped Stalin loudly in front of everyone. The guards then woke up from their dream and rushed forward to control Gendun.
After being slapped in the face for no apparent reason, Stalin was equally furious. He clenched his right hand into a fist, and his hair and beard stood upside down in anger, like an angry lion, ready to eat people at any time.
Seeing the two people at loggerheads, the other delegates at the meeting spoke nice words to smooth things over in order to protect themselves.
Stalin, who was proud of his noble status and also for the sake of consideration, did not immediately get angry and said:
Let's discuss this at the next meeting.
He left the venue angrily.
At this time, Gendeng, who had been controlled, was still cursing and saying some "treasonous" words.
In fact, Gendun had drunk some wine at the time and was in a high spirit. In addition, Country E's actions made him unable to control his emotions for a while, so he lost his composure in public and slapped Stalin in the face.
Gendun was very scared after sobering up, and he was also worried that his life would be handed over in Moscow. However, Stalin had not yet figured out how to deal with Gendun, so he let him go for the time being.
Things were not as simple as imagined. Gendun, who returned to Outer Mongolia, originally thought that he could escape Stalin's clutches, but his idea was still too optimistic and too naive.
In March 1936, Stalin supported another Mongolian leader, Choibalsan, to convene the Second Plenary Session of the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party.
Choibalsan believed that Gendeng was not worthy of the position and should not continue to serve as the supreme leader. With Stalin's permission, Gendeng retired in disgrace.
A month later, Country E asked Gendeng to go to Moscow for vacation. Since you have nothing to do in Outer Mongolia, why don't you come to Country E for a visit?
Gendeng knew very well that this was not a vacation at all, it was just a way to get shot.
Gendeng thought that he would be in great danger if he went there, but he could not avoid it if he did not go.
Genden arrived in Moscow with the determination to cut off his own arm, and was immediately taken to a sanatorium on the Black Sea and detained for a year.
In the summer of the following year, Stalin directly defined Gendun as a "Japanese spy" with the crime of weakening the ties between Outer Mongolia and Country E and attempting to overthrow the red regime. He was immediately sent to prison.
In order to reduce his pain and die quickly, Gendeng admitted that he was a spy and asked Country E to sentence him to death and execute him immediately.
Since you made the request sincerely, Stalin had no reason to refuse and met Gendun's request.
Gendun's successor, Choibalsan, was very afraid of Country E and Stalin. Outer Mongolia became completely dependent on the Soviet Union, and its ideology, territory, and sovereignty were basically gone.
Choibalsan reorganized the Internal Affairs Office into the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and he served as the first minister. In October 1937, Choibalsan established an extraordinary committee in the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare to implement Stalin's plan.
From then on, under the guidance of Stalin and the actual manipulation of Choibalsan, the Outer Mongolian Extraordinary Committee tried 1937 people accused of traitors and counter-revolutionaries in just two years from 1939 to .
Among them, 700 were sentenced to death; more than 80 were sentenced to various types of fixed-term imprisonment; lamas were punished; more than monasteries were demolished; % of the lieutenant generals of the Mongolian People's Army were punished, most of whom were executed.
The purge of the religious community was based on a standard quota, with each anti-counterrevolutionary officer handling 10 cases a day, and those who exceeded the quota would receive a reward.
A counter-revolutionary officer named Ban Zhalagechi handled an average of 60 cases a day while destroying a temple, and became an "advanced worker";
Another anti-counterrevolutionary officer named Bayarmagnai was awarded the Order of the Polar Star (a Mongolian reward for outstanding military achievements) for handling hundreds of cases in a week.
Luisan Samdan, a member of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, recalled in 1962 that because too many monks were arrested, the prison was overcrowded and mass executions were carried out once or twice a week, with trucks pulling them out one by one each time.
And these are only aimed at officials and lamas. At least these people have tasted the sweetness, but the most pitiful are the ordinary Mongolian herdsmen.
Country E forced Outer Mongolia to introduce a policy of class division and class struggle.
Any other currency is prohibited from circulating in Outer Mongolia. Only the "Tugrig" is allowed to circulate, which is forcibly pegged to the ruble, with 1 Tugrik equal to 1.3 rubles.
The classes are divided like this:
Property below 600 tugriks - poor herdsmen;
Property 600 to 2400 Tugriks - China Animal Husbandry;
Property 2400 to 3000 tugriks - medium-rich herdsmen;
Property of 3000 tugriks or more - rich herdsmen;
Owning 500 heads of livestock, valued at around 2.5 tugriks - a feudal lord;
In Country E, if you own eight or nine cows or dozens of sheep, you will be considered a rich peasant. Your property will be confiscated and you will be discriminated against politically. At the very least, you will be sentenced to re-education through labor, and at the worst, you will be executed.
Outer Mongolia has a pastoral economy with a fragile system and a single food source, which is completely different from agricultural areas.
The people of Country E have large tracts of land, cattle and sheep, and they eat potatoes. However, the herders of Outer Mongolia have grass in addition to cattle and sheep. Do they eat grass?
For a herder to maintain a standard of survival of having enough food and clothing, 25 to 30 sheep is the minimum. If in the more desolate Gobi area, where there is no guarantee of pasture and water, the per capita standard will have to be raised.
A herder family of five people, if they own 5 sheep, is still in extreme poverty. They need to own 125 to sheep to maintain basic food and clothing.
Snow disasters, plagues, and wolf disasters were frequent on the grasslands. When a disaster occurred, a large number of livestock died. Even a so-called "feudal lord" would become impoverished overnight and even face the threat of starvation.
At that time, the price of a relatively expensive ewe was 50 tugriks. In other words, if a person owned dozens of livestock to maintain basic survival, he would be considered a rich herder among the "reactionary class" and his property would be confiscated. At the same time, he would suffer political discrimination, be denied access to water and pastures, and be subject to heavy punitive taxes by the government.
Later, even the so-called poor and middle herdsmen were not allowed to keep their livestock, and they had to be confiscated and transferred to collective pastures (equivalent to the collective farms in Country E).
When the policy was implemented to the most extreme, a family could only keep 300 tugriks of property (equivalent to 6 ewes), regardless of the number of family members, and completely disregarding the life and death of the herders.
Although later Country E could not withstand the anger of the civilian herdsmen and gradually adjusted its policies, allowing pro-E lamas to take action and gradually raising the standards for class division, this policy of changing back and forth is indeed frightening.
And Gan Dunzhu is one of them.
Master Sang Jue put away the last bit of kindness on his face and revealed an unprecedentedly ferocious expression:
"Master Gan Dunzhu, if you entered Outer Mongolia without the permission of the E government, and brought so much treasure with you, I'm afraid you would have trouble sleeping every day, right?"
