Colonizing Outer Mongolia, encouraging India, egging Vietnam, how many nails did the USSR stick arou

China is a large country with 14 land neighbors and 6 maritime neighbors, and its surrounding environment is complex and changeable, and it has experienced numerous border disputes and wars in history.

Among these neighboring countries, there is one country that was once our ally, but later became our enemy, and even betrayed and suppressed us many times in our most difficult times, and that country was the Soviet Union. So how many nails did the USSR really stick around us?

After World War II, China's bravery on the Korean Peninsula won the praise of Soviet leader Joseph Stalin. In Stalin's eyes, he was deeply moved by the bravery and tenacity of the Chinese people in resisting the Japanese invasion.

He knew that China's victory could not be separated from the hard struggle of the Chinese people, so he decided to return important strategic resources such as the Middle East Railway and Port Arthur in the northeast region to China. This move not only made the Chinese people feel gratified and proud, but also demonstrated to the world China's status and influence in international affairs.

However, the honeymoon period between China and the Soviet Union did not last long, and in the 60s of the last century, Sino-Soviet relations began to deteriorate. Even in 1969, the two sides reached the point where they were about to exchange fire.

Back in 1960, a small but far-reaching war broke out on the Sino-Indian border, which became known as the Sino-Indian border self-defense counterattack.

The cause of this war is India's territorial claims to the southern part of our country, which India considers to belong to India, while our country insists that these areas are China's inherent territory, and there have been many frictions and conflicts between the two sides along the border line.

India's boldness was not only due to the power of Britain and the United States, but also because of the covert support of the Soviet Union at that time. Before 1962, India had set up more than 40 military bases in China, and even openly invaded China's southern Tibet, which was the outbreak of the Sino-Indian border self-defense counterattack.

In this war, the Soviet Union did not stand on our side, but secretly supported India, provided India with a large amount of ** and materials, and even sent military advisers and pilots to help India deal with us.

Why did the USSR do this?There are two reasons for this: First, the Soviet Union wanted to win over India as an important ally in Asia to counter American influence

Second, the Soviet Union wanted to use India to contain China, prevent China's rise in Asia, and threaten the Soviet Union's position. This practice of the Soviet Union has seriously damaged the friendly relations between China and the Soviet Union, and has also brought a huge threat to our country.

Another of the Soviet Union's crimes against China was the colonization of Outer Mongolia and in 1969 it launched a border conflict against us, which became known as the Zhenbao Island Incident.

Outer Mongolia was originally part of China, but after the Xinhai Revolution in 1911, Outer Mongolia declared independence and later became a Soviet protectorate with the support of the Soviet Union.

The Soviet Union carried out colonial rule over Outer Mongolia, eliminated the national characteristics of Outer Mongolia by various means, forcibly implemented the political, economic, cultural and military system of the Soviet Union, and made Outer Mongolia a vassal and puppet of the Soviet Union.

The Soviet Union also used Outer Mongolia to carry out many provocations and aggressions against China, the most serious of which was in 1969, when the Soviet Union launched a surprise attack on China's border troops on Zhenbao Island on the Sino-Soviet border, resulting in the sacrifice of many Chinese officers and soldiers.

At that time, the Soviet Union had already deployed millions of Soviet troops to the border between the two sides, but fortunately, in the end, the Soviet Union did not launch an attack on our country due to the pressure of Europe and the United States, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

The third crime of the Soviet Union against China was to support Vietnam, and it intervened and threatened China many times, the most typical of which was in 1979, when the Soviet Union supported Vietnam in launching a war against our country, which was called the war of self-defense and counterattack against Vietnam.

The war was sparked by the growing ambitions of Vietnam after successfully expelling American troops and winning Soviet aid. Not content with the status quo, they intend to build a so-called "Indochina Union" that would integrate Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia into a single political entity

In addition, the Vietnamese side is trying to control the China Sea region, which it considers to be its own sphere of influence. What is even more shocking is that Vietnam has so much confidence that it has become the "third largest military power in the world".

Vietnam invaded our friendly Cambodia, overthrew Cambodia's legitimacy and established a pro-Soviet puppet regime;Not only that, Vietnam has also invaded a large number of islands in our Nansha Islands.

In order to maintain the independence and security of Cambodia, our country launched a self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, forcing Vietnam to withdraw its troops from Cambodia. In this war, the Soviet Union did not openly participate in the war, but secretly provided Vietnam with a large amount of ** and materials, and even sent military advisers and pilots to help Vietnam deal with us.

How did the USSR support it at that time?

In addition to providing Vietnam with a large amount of **, ammunition, fuel, food and medical supplies, as well as military advisers and technicians, the Soviet Union also deployed air defense forces and naval units in Vietnam, as well as air bases in Mongolia and neighboring countries in Vietnam to prevent Chinese air strikes against Vietnam.

Not only that, but the Soviet Union also carried out diplomatic pressure and attacks on China internationally, condemned China's "aggressive behavior", and threatened to fulfill its obligations under the Soviet-Vietnamese Treaty of Friendship and Cooperation.

Fortunately, the Soviet Union did not send troops to support Vietnam, otherwise that war could have been compared to the cruelty of the War of Resistance against Japan and the Korean War.

These crimes of the Soviet Union have made us see clearly the fact that our surrounding environment is not safe, our neighbors are not all friendly, and we need to maintain our own. So, we now have 14 main neighbors bordering on us, which ones can wrestle with us?

Russia: Russia is our largest neighbor and our most important strategic partner, and the two sides have extensive political, economic, military, cultural and other cooperation, as well as common interests and aspirations.

Although Russia is a military power with the largest number of nuclear weapons in the world, its economic strength and population size are inferior to ours, and it is also facing sanctions and isolation from Western countries, so it will not easily clash with us, but will maintain friendly and cooperative relations with us.

India: India is another big neighbor and a potential competitor of ours, and the two sides have many differences and frictions in the political, economic, military, cultural and other aspects, as well as some common interests and demands.

Although India's economic and military strength are not as good as ours, and it is also facing poverty and poverty at home, India has a strong population as a foundation, and the United States and the Soviet Union have provided India with long-term assistance in many aspects, resulting in India becoming a neighbor that can "wrestle hands".

Vietnam: Vietnam is a small neighbor of ours and a historical enemy of ours, and the two sides have deep contradictions and hatred in the political, economic, military, and cultural fields, as well as some cooperation and exchanges.

Although Vietnam is a military power with the strongest army in the world, its economic strength and population size are not as good as ours, and it is also facing international isolation and pressure, so it will not easily clash with us, but will maintain a certain distance and respect with us.

Other neighbouring countries: In addition to these three neighbouring countries, we have 11 other neighbouring countries: Mongolia, Laos, Vietnam, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Myanmar, Bhutan, Nepal, Pakistan, etc.

These neighboring countries are inferior in strength and influence to us, and they will not pose a real threat to us, but they will also have a certain impact on our interests and security, so we must adopt different strategies according to different situations to cooperate or confront them to safeguard our national interests.

Through the above analysis, we can see that our surrounding environment is complex, our neighbors are diverse, and our environment is important.

We cannot expect our neighbors to be friendly, nor can we consider our neighbors to be hostile, but we must adopt a flexible attitude according to the actual situation and engage in friendly cooperation or necessary confrontation with our neighbors to protect our national interests and security.

There is one thing we have to keep in mind, and that is:Relatives and neighbors are unreliable, and iron needs to be hard. Only in this way will we be able to maintain our independence and dignity and achieve our peace and development in this complex world.
