For 70 years, three enormous Soviet Army bases remained undiscovered on the plains of Mongolia. The discovery of these bases supports speculation of Stalin's intent to invade Japan, completely overturning the Japanese Army's previously held conceptions of the Soviets' logistical capabilities.Large enough to fit the entirety of modern-day Tokyo's city loop train line within their boundaries, why and how did the Soviets build these enormous bases, and what role did they play in the Soviet-Japanese War? The mystery has yet to be solved.
Our investigation found that several Soviet soldiers, stationed at these bases during the Soviet-Japanese War, were still alive and living in today's Transbaikal region and other areas. Their statements revealed that Soviet Army personnel stationed at these bases played a major role in the capture and transport of Emperor Puyi of Manchukuo.
The significance of these enormous secret bases brought out in relief Stalin's previously hidden ambitions.
