After the puppet Manchu "founding of the country", consular officers were sent to Moscow and other places, why did the Soviet Union immediately agree? The puppet Manchu "founding of the country" was not recognized by Britain and the United States, so why did the Soviet Union acquiesce after Japan? Puyi ascended the throne three times in his life, each time he was involuntarily, and every time he brought disaster to the people of the country!
As the last emperor in Chinese history, Ai Xin jueluo Puyi's imperial path can be described as a series of twists and turns, and in just a few decades, he has landed on the throne three times.
The first time was on December 2, 1908, the 34th year of the Qing Dynasty (1908), when Puyi, who was less than 3 years old, ascended the throne at the Taihe Temple and became the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty (during his reign by Empress Guangxu Longyu and regent of Zaifeng). Due to the outbreak of the Xinhai Revolution, Puyi, who had only been on the throne for 3 years, was forced to abdicate on February 12, 1912, puyi's dream of being the first emperor was shattered, and the Qing Dynasty, which ruled the land of China for more than 260 years, came to an end.
Puyi's second dream of emperor was even shorter. On June 14, 1917, Zhang Xun, a former Qing widow, led 4,000 Wu troops into Beijing under the pretext of mediating the contradiction between the State Council represented by Duan Qirui and the presidential palace represented by Li Yuanhong, and ousted Li Yuanhong. On July 1, Zhang Xun mutinied, xuanun restoration, and Puyi, who was only 12 years old, sat on the dragon chair again. From "accession to the throne" on July 1, 1917, to abdication on July 12, 1917, there were only 12 days.
Puyi's third ascension to the "great throne" was after he was expelled from the Forbidden City in Beijing, he was co-opted by the Japanese (it is good to say that they were colluding with each other), and on March 1, 1932, with the support of Japan, Puyi established Manchukuo in the northeast region and took office as the ruler of Manchukuo, with the name of "Datong". On March 1, 1934, under the planning of the Japanese army, Puyi held an "enthronement ceremony" in Xinghua Village on the southern outskirts of "Xinjing", changing the pseudo "Manchukuo" to the pseudo "Manchurian Empire", puyi "called the emperor" for the third time, changing the year name to "Kant" the first year.
It can be said that Puyi's three ascension to the throne is involuntary every time, but every time he ascends to the throne, it is a disaster for the people of the country!
Although the establishment of the pseudo-"Manchukuo" is not recognized by our country and the world society and does not have legitimacy, under the vigorous activities of Japan, there are still a small number of countries with ulterior motives that openly "recognize" the pseudo-"Manchukuo". The first to establish diplomatic relations with puppet Manchuria was, of course, the driving force behind japan. On March 1, 1932, the puppet state of Manchukuo was established, on June 14, 1932, the Japanese House of Representatives passed a resolution to recognize the puppet Manchukuo, on September 6, the Japanese cabinet passed a resolution recognizing the puppet Manchukuo, and on the 15th, Japan officially recognized the pseudo-"Manchukuo", and the two sides signed the "Japan-Manchuria Protocol". On November 24, 1932, Japan officially appointed Nobuyoshi Muto, commander of the Kwantung Army, as ambassador to puppet Manchukuo.
Japan was followed by its northern neighbor, the Soviet Union, which had relations with the pseudo-"Manchukuo." On September 23, 1932, before Japan officially sent an ambassador to the pseudo-"Manchukuo", the Soviet Union agreed to send consular officials to Moscow, Novosibirsk and other cities.
Why was the Soviet Union so eager to establish contact with the puppet Manchus? The reason why the Soviet Union urgently established diplomatic relations with the puppet Manchus was because of interests.
At that time, the Soviet Union, due to ideological confrontation, Western countries were hostile to the Soviet Union, and the situation was very difficult. In this context, the Soviet Union also urgently needed the international community to recognize the legitimacy of its regime. Who can represent the West? The Soviet Union felt that Germany was in a period of ascendancy and should be stuttering, and Germany and Japan were in the same group, so recognizing the puppet regime supported by Japan was also a disguise to please Germany.
In addition, it is strategically considered. German militarism was in full swing at the time, especially after forming an alliance with Japan, and the Soviet Union felt that both the west and the east were surrounded by the fascist camp. Under these circumstances, the Soviet Union believed that relations with Japan and Germany should be eased and two fronts should be avoided, so it recognized the puppet Manchu regime supported by Japan.
Moreover, the Soviet Union, like Japan, also supported the puppet regime of Mongolia. At that time, many countries in the world did not recognize Mongolia. The Soviet Union took the initiative to recognize the puppet state of Manchukuo, in fact, it threw out an olive branch, hoping that the Japanese-German camp would also show its sincerity and recognize Mongolia.
Finally, the Soviet Union had the right to operate the northern section of the Middle East Railway (jointly operated by China and the Soviet Union) in the "territory" of Manchuria, and if the Japanese did not comply with the wishes of the Japanese, the destruction of this section of the right of way was a matter of minutes. In March 1935, the Soviet Union bypassed the Government of the Republic of China and sold the northern section of the Middle East Railway (North Manchuria Railway), which was jointly operated by China and the Soviet Union, to Puppet Manchuria for 140 million yen, and made another profit.
It was precisely because of the combination of many factors that the Soviet Union insisted on acquiescing to the legitimacy of pseudo-Manchu by sending envoys to each other. By agreeing to the presence of pseudo-Manchus to the various consular officers of the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union implicitly acknowledged the existence of puppet Manchus, which set a very bad example for other countries, thus leaving room for pseudo-"Manchukuo" to broaden the "diplomatic" space.
According to the Ten Years of the Founding of Manchukuo, published by the puppet Manchukuo government in 1943, there were 23 "recognized" puppet Manchukuo at that time. The statistics of the Japanese wiki are 21 countries, while the statistics of the English wikipedia are also 17 countries that have "established diplomatic relations" with the puppet state of Manchukuo.
It is said that in this world, there are no eternal friends, no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. This sentence, no matter when and where, is a fact that exists like iron.
