Chapter 49 Chapter 7 In the USSR

a fear and fantasy The plane flew to Chita, and it was almost dark.We were the first batch of Manchukuo war criminals who came to the Soviet Union. With me were Pu Jie, two brothers-in-law, three nephews, a doctor and a servant.Our family left the airport in a car prepared by the Soviet Army.Looking out from the car, it seems to be walking in the wilderness, with the darkness on both sides and no end in sight.After walking for a while, passing through several woods and climbing several hillsides, the road became rough and narrow, and the speed of the car slowed down.Suddenly the car stopped, and a Chinese sentence came from outside the car:

If you want to relieve yourself, you can come down! I was taken aback and thought it was the Chinese who picked us up.In fact, the speaker was a Soviet military officer of Chinese descent.In the first half of my life, I suffered from my suspicions, and I always tortured myself needlessly anytime and anywhere.He obviously just flew from China to the Soviet Union on a Soviet plane, so how could he hand over to the Chinese here!At this time, what I fear most is falling into the hands of the Chinese.I think that in the hands of foreigners, there is still a glimmer of hope for survival, but in the hands of the Chinese, there is no doubt of death.

After untying our hands, we got into the car and continued walking for about two hours, entering a mountain gorge, and stopped in front of a brightly lit building.Our family got out of the car and looked at this beautiful building. Someone whispered: This is a restaurant!Everyone is happy. Walking into this hotel, a man in casual clothes in his forties walked up to him, followed by a group of Soviet officers.He solemnly declared to us: The Soviet government ordered: You will be detained from now on. It turned out that this was the garrison commander of Chita City, a major general of the Soviet Army.After announcing the order, he told us very kindly that we can stay here in peace and wait for our treatment.After that, he pointed to a bottle full of clean water on the table and said:

This is a famous mineral spring, and mineral water is a drink that is very beneficial to health. This kind of mineral water was a bit unappealing at first, but later it became something I like very much.It was in this sanatorium that we began our privileged detention life.There are three hearty Russian meals and one Russian afternoon tea every day.There are waiters to take care of it, doctors and nurses to check the body frequently and treat diseases, there are radios, books and newspapers, various entertainment equipment, and people often accompany them for walks.I was immediately satisfied with this life.

Not long after I lived here, I had an illusion: Since the Soviet Union and Britain and the United States are allies, I might be able to move from here to Britain and the United States to work as an apartment.At this time, I was still carrying a large amount of jewelry, which was enough for the rest of my life.In order to achieve this goal, I must first be sure that I can live in the Soviet Union.Therefore, during my five years in the Soviet Union, in addition to verbally, I wrote to the Soviet authorities three times, applying for permission to stay in the Soviet Union permanently.I wrote three times, once in Chita, and twice when I moved to Khabarovsk not far from China two months later.These three applications have nothing to say.

The other repressors of Manchukuo [1], on this issue, have taken a completely opposite attitude to mine from beginning to end. A few days after I arrived in Chita, a group of false ministers including Zhang Jinghui, Zang Shiyi, and Xiqia arrived.About the next day, Zhang, Zang, Xi and others came to see me where I live.I thought they had come to pay my respects, but unexpectedly they were petitioning me.Zhang Jinghui spoke first: I heard that you are willing to stay in the Soviet Union, but those of us live in the Northeast, so we have to take care of ourselves. Besides, we still have some business to do.Please tell the Soviets, let us go back to the Northeast earlier, can you see it?

I don't know what they have unfinished business, and I don't care, so I have no interest in their request. How can I do it?Whether I stay or go depends on the Soviet Union's decision. As soon as these guys heard that I didn't care, they begged hard: Tell me, you can do it.This is what everyone meant, and everyone recommended us to be representatives to ask Uncle Pu.For everyone's business, if you don't ask your old man, who else can you ask? Now they can no longer call me the emperor or your majesty, so they screamed indiscriminately.I was so entangled that I had no choice but to find the Soviet Lieutenant Colonel Orokov who was in charge of us.

Orokov heard what I told his puppet ministers and said: Well, I will convey it on my behalf. When I asked for an application to stay in the Soviet Union, he replied in the same way.The situation is the same in the future, there is no following. But these ministers were as unwilling as I was. After moving to the suburbs of Pali, I applied to stay in the Soviet Union, and they applied to return to the Northeast, forcing me to speak for them. At that time, I didn't understand that they knew more about the political insider of the Kuomintang than I did, and knew the special needs of the Kuomintang people for them, so I believed that going back would not only be safe, but also make a fortune.Perhaps the temptation was too great, and some people almost went crazy thinking about going back.On the outskirts of Khabarovsk, once, a puppet prisoner who served as a cleaner, probably suffering from a disease such as goat horns, fell to the ground talking nonsense.There was a false minister who believed in the altar of altar, and believed that it was possessed by a great god, so he immediately knelt in front of the captive and kowtowed to him. .

In the Soviet Union, in addition to Soviet translators often telling everyone the news, we can often read the Chinese "Truth Report" issued by the Soviet Army in Lushun, and hear domestic war news.I don't care much about these, thinking that whoever wins and who loses is all the same to me and will kill me.My only hope is never to return home.Those pseudo-ministers are very concerned about the domestic situation.They put their hope in Chiang Kai-shek's rule. They believed that with the help of the United States, Chiang Kai-shek could defeat the People's Liberation Army. So when they first heard the news of the victory of the People's Liberation Army, no one believed it.Later, the facts became more and more true, so they panicked again.When the People's Republic of China was proclaimed, a person who thought he had rich experience proposed sending a congratulatory message, which received widespread response.
