How did Zhang die?

History textbooks on both sides of the Taiwan Straits record that Zhang Xueliang's father and Feng warlord were killed by the Japanese. Recently, however, Russian historian prokhorov put forward a different view that Zhang's death was caused by the Soviet military intelligence agency and had nothing to do with Japan.

History textbooks on both sides of the Taiwan Strait have similar records of Zhang's death. 1On July 4th, 928, when Zhang passed Huanggutun Station by train, Bob was buried! ! ! Blow it up Subsequently, the Japanese Kwantung Army publicly admitted that it was responsible for this matter.

The article points out that Russian historian Volgogonov, while investigating Trotsky's death, accidentally discovered the historical data of Zhang's assassination by the Soviet military intelligence agency, thus giving a new account of Zhang's death. Wrote a new paper "Archives of Marshal Zhang's Death".

The article points out that on September 20, 1924, Zhang signed the Middle East Railway Treaty with the Soviet government and made a friendly gesture with the Soviet Union. However, there was a dispute with the Soviet side over the payment of the use fee of the Middle East railway, which seized the right to operate the Middle East railway and caused the Soviet Union to have a murder.

According to the article, on 1926 1 month, Zhang ordered the army to arrest Ivanov, director of the Soviet Middle East Railway Administration, in order to control the management of the Middle East Railway. The Soviet government called it "the battle on the eastern front" and tried to put pressure on Zhang, hoping that he would not have a stiff relationship with the Soviet Union so as not to lose reliable supporters.

Zhang did not adopt it, but still seized the right to operate the Middle East Railway. In view of Zhang's tough policy on the Middle East Railway,1In August, 926, the Soviet government ordered the Soviet Military Intelligence Bureau to assassinate Zhang, and the Soviet Military Intelligence Bureau handed over the task of assassinating Zhang to agents Saning and Burakov.

According to the assassination plan, they will plant mines in Zhang's mansion and kill Zhang. However, the assassination plan at that time was discovered by Zhang's spy, and Burakov and others were arrested. The first attempt by the Soviet Union to assassinate Zhang failed. Zhang also began to alienate Moscow and took many actions hostile to the Soviet Union.

1926 1 February1day, Zhang was appointed commander-in-chief of Beiyang warlord and commander-in-chief of An, and issued a declaration against * * *, saying that "the Bolshevik Party of the Soviet Union is a poisonous snake and beast, and only An can save the people in the three northeastern provinces". At the same time, Zhang actively supported Chiang Kai-shek to remove the Communist party member from the North Valve Army and sever diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union.

1927 1 month, in view of the smooth progress of the northward movement of the northern valve army, Zhang began to harass Soviet institutions in the three northeastern provinces to prevent armed rebellion in the three northeastern provinces. Attacked the Soviet Consulate in Beijing and arrested a large number of Communist party member. In addition, Zhang also incited white bandits and bandits occupying the northern border of China to provoke the Soviet Union.

The Youth Reference, a mainland media affiliated to the Youth League, quoted Ye Tinggong, a special correspondent of the Foreign Affairs Bureau of the Soviet State General Administration of Political Security in Harbin, as spying on Zhang's information on negotiations with Japan and reporting to the headquarters that Zhang might establish an anti-Soviet front with Japan. The Soviet government believed that Zhang's behavior had threatened the interests of the Soviet Union in the Far East, so it ordered the Soviet Intelligence Agency and the National Security Agency to jointly assassinate Zhang. The people in charge of the assassination were Etinggon and Sarnen, who participated in the first assassination.

In order to blame the Japanese government for the assassination, the Soviet secret service deliberately put Bob! ! ! Buried on the railway bridge guarded by the Japanese Kwantung Army. 1July 4, 928, Zhang returned to Shenyang by special train. When driving to Huanggutun Station on the outskirts of Shenyang, the special train suddenly exploded and Zhang was seriously injured. He died shortly after being sent to Shenyang hospital.

The article said that what puzzled the Soviet government was that after Zhang was assassinated, the Japanese government took the initiative to take responsibility, claiming that he assassinated Zhang because he secretly colluded with the United States and betrayed the three northeastern provinces. Zhang's assassination did not bring any expected consequences to the Soviet government. After Zhang's death, he lost control of the northeast of China. In 193 1, the Japanese government occupied the three northeastern provinces, established the puppet Manchukuo, and deployed the Kwantung Army on the Sino-Soviet border. The Soviet Union lost its foothold in the northeast of China.

During the trial of Japanese war criminals by the Tokyo International Military Tribunal, the Japanese generals who invaded China confessed to the plan of the Japanese Kwantung Army to assassinate Zhang. However, in the late 1940s, the Japanese government categorically denied its involvement in the assassination of Zhang, saying that the Japanese government had no reason to instruct the Kwantung Army to assassinate Zhang.
