The convoy left Ulaanbaatar International Airport and began to drive towards the urban area of Ulaanbaatar. When it gradually came to the outskirts of the city, Jin Xiantai finally saw the truest side of Ulaanbaatar. @乐@文@小说ww.ls520.om
Most of the vehicles on the road are "Volga" or "Lada" sedans made in the Soviet Union, and most of them are blue-gray cars that look like bread chunks. Foreign cars are rarely seen.
Of course, perhaps this is related to the fact that the Soviet Union has not collapsed and Mongolia has not changed its national policy. After all, the Soviet Union in this time and space is pretty good, so Mongolia, as a member country, has also survived.
However, the Mongolian country in the time and space where Jin Xiantai was originally located, after experiencing the collapse of the Soviet Union and losing aid, was forced to start seeking change, and therefore the entire country has undergone great changes.
First of all, the number of luxury cars on the street has increased, and international hotels and various bars have appeared in the capital Ulaanbaatar.
Where is Mongolia in a different time and space, these things are still invisible.
As far as Kim Hyun-tae looked, all of them were buildings with a strong Soviet style. Even the statues and slogans on both sides of the street were all heroes of the Soviet Union or written in Russian.
If it weren't for a large number of men wearing Mongolian traditional costumes, Jin Xiantai would even think he was in the Soviet Union.
But he is right to think so. After all, Mongolia is a nominal member of the Soviet Union, but a de facto dependent state.
Bakeries, sausage shops, and all shops use the so-called "New Mongolian", but the "New Mongolian" declared by the Mongolian side is exactly the same as Russian.
And through the car window, Jin Xiantai saw that many people wearing traditional Mongolian costumes were lying on the street. When pedestrians passed by them, they didn't even look at them, as if they were not surprised by such people.
"Those are all drunk people. Mongolian men like drinking very much, even more than Soviet men. In this country, men basically drink alcohol and do nothing all day long. Women do everything. I really feel sad for the women of Mongolia."
Matthews spoke quietly at this moment. The tone was even a little embarrassing.
Indeed, the burden of life rests on women. This is indeed a bit uncomfortable.
But what can I change?
Kim Hyun-tae didn't say anything after thinking about it.
"I came here ten years ago, and I have deeply understood the lives of ordinary people in Mongolia, so I have a better say in these matters."
Matthews' eyes drifted a little, as if he had fallen into the original memory.
"I still remember that I did not travel with the delegation, but visited a herdsman's house privately. I saw with my own eyes that it was a woman who took care of the children to clean up the housework, but also looked after everything in the house and had to go. Grazing. The only man in the family at the time. He was just asleep. After waiting for him to wake up and discover that his wife hadn't cooked the food, the guy furiously beat the woman."
Matthews's tone was very calm, but Kim Hyun Tae heard the slightest anger and unwillingness behind this calm.
"I asked the woman in private. She said that such things happen every day. If one day her husband does not beat her, it will be her lucky day. And her experience is not a special case here. Almost all women have this. I can’t imagine the experiences and encounters.
After listening to Matthews, Kim Hyun Tae was also silent.
As a Chinese man. Kim Hyun-tae can't imagine how bad the women's lives here are. He can't do it anyway, such as beating his wife.
But in Mongolia, this kind of thing is commonplace.
honestly. He really couldn't accept it.
Matthews took a deep breath and calmed his mood.
"Did you know? From that time on, I looked down on these men in Mongolia and despised them from the bottom of my heart because they beat women."
Seriously, Kim Hyun Tae, the man who beat the woman, looked down, so he nodded in agreement.
"Yes, I agree with your view."
Kim Hyun Tae's agreement made Matthews smile happily.
"It's an honor for you to agree with me, thank you."
Happy Matthews expressed his thanks for this.
Subsequently. Matthews and Jin Xiantai talked about other aspects of Mongolia, which also gave Jin Xiantai a deeper understanding of Mongolia.
Thank you Matthews for this.
Without him. It might take a lot of effort for Jin Xiantai to understand Mongolia.
"Mongolia does not produce food. So they need to get a large amount of food aid from the Soviet Union every year to alleviate this problem. Don't look at Mongolian people like to eat meat, but they have to feed their own cattle and sheep. In the Soviet Union, instead of getting their own beef and mutton, the price of beef and mutton is ridiculously expensive."
Because he had been to Mongolia ten years ago, Matthews really knew a lot about this, and these things were still unknown to Jin Xiantai.
From what Matthews said, we can basically see how the Soviets looted.
It's just that Mongolia dare not say no to such plunder.
Because they were really scared by the Soviets, they didn't dare to think about it.
And speaking of why people in Mongolia are afraid of the Soviet Union, there really is a lot of history in it.
Of course, this history belongs to different time and space.
(Ps: hereby declare that different time and space history, please do not check in. The story of this novel is completely fictitious, any similarity is purely coincidental!)
The Mongolian side arranged for Old George and his party to be the site of the former Soviet embassy. The convoy still needs more than 20 minutes to reach by car, so Matthews and Jin Xiantai can only chat to pass the time.
Fortunately, Jin Xiantai was very interested in the affairs of Mongolia, while Matthews opened the chatterbox and said very excitedly, so the two guys were in good harmony when they said one.
Little Coco is not interested in talking between adults at all. Since the little guy left the airport, he has been looking out the car window curiously, observing this exotic place.
The temperature in Mongolia in July is also very high, but it is different from the tropics. People here also wear traditional Mongolian robes in summer. People don't sweat because of dryness, so it doesn't matter if you wear a robe.
The temperature here is high during the day, but the temperature at night will drop drastically, resulting in a large temperature difference. People here don't have to worry about cooling down at night if they wear thicker ones.
Looking around, Coco suddenly became interested in Mongolian traditional costumes. She even secretly decided to get a set of clothes herself.
The little guy bought a set of local traditional costumes when he left Japan and Korea on this trip to Asia, so she still wanted to get a set when she came to Mongolia.
"At the time, the Soviets massacred more than 100,000 lamas. Although the official data is only three thousand, you must understand how unreliable the official data is, especially when it comes to this kind of thing." Matthews has a playful tone.
As for Matthews's statement, Jin Xiantai basically agrees.
"Lamas, old nobles, intellectuals, and even those who expressed dissatisfaction with the movement were purged by the Soviets. This led to the disappearance of more than 70% of Mongolian high-level politicians and military generals at that time, or simply Was massacred and died abnormally."
Although Matthews said this in a very flat tone.
But Jin Xiantai took a cold breath from the bottom of his heart when he heard it.
"Climb bite! People who can't stand torture. At that time, for their own sake, most of them would choose to bite other people. Therefore, there are not a few people who are wronged for this. Although you don't know the method of kgb, you should have heard of it. Their methods are not something ordinary people can withstand."
Because the vehicle is owned by the United States and the driver is also owned by the United States, Matthews can discuss this matter with Kim Hyun-tae in the car without worrying about it.
This also allowed Jin Xiantai to understand the historical information of Mongolia in different time and space.
Matthews said he was very happy, but it was cheaper than Kim Hyun Tae.
After all, listening to Matthews said that it is always more accurate than searching for this kind of information on the Internet.
"This kind of movement happened many times in the early Mongolian country. Therefore, anyone who dared to make a different voice and object to some Soviet policies is not alive. So those who can come to the stage and take up important government positions, you say What kind of people will they be. At the same time, what kind of attitude will these people have towards the Soviet Union?"
Matthews said this. It is more in-depth than what is often said now, and it can also give people a deeper understanding of the psychology of Mongolian political leaders.
I heard this from Matthews. If Jin Xiantai still can't make an accurate judgment, then he is really a fool.
Obviously and clearly, the people of Mongolia are very afraid of the Soviet Union, because they were so daring to be killed by the Soviets, and they have no will to resist.
Therefore, it is not to blame for the Mongolian Congress's attitude towards other countries. This is purely for the sake of showing the Soviets, and at the same time expressing that it has no ambition.
"How many people did the Soviet Union kill?"
Jin Hyun Tae asked after his eyelids twitched.
After thinking for a while, Matthews said:
According to the Soviet Union’s official statement, there were three campaigns, and less than 20,000 people were purged. Mongolia’s official data followed the Soviet Union, and it was also above and below this number. However, according to our US and other countries’ According to the data, it is conservatively estimated that it should be around 700,000 people, which was one-tenth of the total population of Mongolia at that time.
I took it, and one in ten people was cleaned. This data is really scary.
Kim Hyun-tae couldn't help being speechless after hearing this.
Although it is only cold data, but behind this number are all fresh lives, this is an indisputable fact.
I can't imagine how cruel the truth behind this history is. Anyway, after hearing this, Kim Hyun-tae was really stubborn.
"The Mongolians are willing to be ostriches, and each of them is willing to think about this, the Soviets simply don’t care, but what I can tell you is that we know that there are many mass graves here. After all, it’s impossible to have so many people. There is no trace."
Matthews suddenly said something to Kim Hyuntae~EbookFREE.me~Huh!
Hearing what Matthews said, a trace of doubt flashed through Jin Xiantai's heart.
What are you doing to find these mass graves?
Is it possible?
Kim Hyun Tae thought of a little possibility.
Soon, Matthews gave Jin Xiantai an answer.
I saw Matthews lowered his voice and whispered to Jin Xiantai: "Find these places first, and then talk about them. Although they are not available now, they may be useful in the future. It is not necessarily correct."
[Sure enough, as I guessed, the United States still has some ideas about the Soviet Union. 】, Kim Hyun-tae secretly speculated in his heart, and at the same time wondered [Is he going to write down the stuff that subverts the Soviet Union and show it to Old George? 】
Regarding this idea, Kim Hyun-tae is a little hesitant for the time being... (To be continued.)
