Chapter 62: Claims against Japan
Claims against the claim
Since coming to this era, Deng Feng and others have been thinking about a problem, that is, how to get the first gold for New China as soon as possible, so as to change China's current poor and white appearance and accelerate China's industrialization. He thought of the war reparations, which in later generations regardless of the Kuomintang Taiwan authorities. The People's Republic of China, led by [***], had to give up compensation for the damage and suffering caused to China and the Chinese people during the eight years from September 18, 1931 to August 15, 1945. It's a hard thing to do, otherwise no one would be so easy to give up. No way! This damage must have been compensated. That's $300 billion. Mao ZD went to the Soviet Union for a loan of 300 million dollars. Without this compensation, Ben did not even admit that he was a defeated country. He won't even say a word of humility. So he picked up the phone." Standing Political Commissar, I am Deng Feng, and I propose to convene a party committee immediately to discuss the issue of compensation for the invasion of China. Provide much-needed equipment and funds for the construction of New China. As soon as possible, come up with a feasible plan and submit it to the central government for reference."
Everyone came to the conference room of the training building one after another. After seeing that everyone was sitting down, Deng Feng said: "I have been thinking about the issue of war for some time ago, but now I see that the United States has no strength to fight us again in North Korea in the short term. As for the next development, we can only observe the situation for a while. However, no matter how the situation evolves in the future, we must put the development of military modernization in our first place. The development of military modernization is inseparable from basic industries, and I think the fastest way is to bring some of the current basic industries to China, even with personnel and equipment. Or we can come to their existing factories to produce the industrial products we need directly. What if that could be done? That is to realize the compensation for the invasion of China as soon as possible, and I will find it for you today, that is, I would like to ask you to discuss the compensation plan and implementation methods for the invasion of China, and then report it to the central government for the reference of the central government.
Due to the suddenness of this issue, everyone was silent for a while.
Wang Kunpeng said: "To talk about the issue of the claim against the Chinese government, we cannot but talk about the three documents related to it, namely, the "San Francisco Peace Treaty" in 51 years under the auspices of the United States, the "Sino-Japanese Peace Treaty" signed by Chiang Kai-shek and the "Sino-Japanese Political Axe" in 52 years, and the "Sino-Chinese Joint Statement" signed by the Chinese political axe and the Chinese political axe in 78.
After a pause, Wu Di said: This treaty and that statement have not been issued now, what are you talking about those things that are not. Now the top priority is to study how to make Xiao Yue lose his capital? How much to lose? What to pay? What if he doesn't pay his debts?" Talking about these things is to avoid the consequences of these documents in advance." Wang Kunpeng explained. Isn't the situation changing a lot now because of our agitation? We will now formulate a feasible plan based on the current situation and our capabilities, and then we will be done according to the law." Wu Di always likes to deal with problems in the simplest and sometimes most effective way.
Deng Feng said: As for the amount of compensation, it will be calculated according to the amount of compensation for the war that our government gave up in 78 years, that is, the compensation claim of $120 billion between countries and the demand for national compensation of $180 billion. I said Commander Deng, are you too ruthless, that is the amount of interest added for more than 30 years. After World War II, the Soviet Union received $12 billion in war reparations from Germany; The Jews received $60 billion in reparations from Germany. According to the estimates of the Kuomintang Executive Yuan Compensation Committee at the time, China's wartime losses were $62 billion at current prices. Liu Jun felt that Deng Feng's price was too high and said:
Deng Feng smiled and said: "We are [***] No matter what he calculates in the Kuomintang, we will count it like this." 300 billion is not much, and this does not include the accounts of the Sino-Japanese War and the entry of the Eight-Nation Alliance into Yanjing. Based on the current population of 72 million, it is less than $4,300 per person. According to 20 years, it is only more than $200 per person per year. That's less than $300 when you add interest." Deng Feng calculated it himself, thinking that it was a lot. It is said that even if you smash the pot and sell iron, you can't afford it.
Wang Kunpeng said: "The amount is easy to handle, we can ask for a price all over the sky, can they pay back the money on the spot?"
Deng Feng said: "The general meaning is to completely destroy the economic base and make it a third- or fourth-rate country. This wolf must not be allowed to develop again."" Now there is a Kuomintang political axe stirring up in it, and the problem is very complicated." Wang Kunpeng scratched his head and said.
Wu Di said: "Then let's get rid of the Kuomintang gang first. lest the 52-year-old Chiang and the "Sino-Japanese Peace Treaty" signed by the political axe of the former Chiang betrayed the national righteousness for the selfish interests of one party and gave up the war reparations. If we want to cause trouble in the future, we should think that Taiwan in the future generations will always act as a pawn to restrain China's rise, and it would be better to solve it as soon as possible."
Liu Jun said: "Supposedly, this idea is very good. But now the crux of the question is whether Lao Mei will do it or not? In the "Potsdam Proclamation" issued by China, the United States, and Britain in 45 years, the principle of compensation was clarified for the first time, and the industrial equipment and goods necessary to maintain its economic operation could be retained, and the rest could be used for compensation. In the early post-war period, the United States was quite positive about the reparations, and in April 47, it took separate action and launched an advance demolition. However, as the confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union became sharper, the Chinese Liberation War progressed smoothly, and the Chiang Kai-shek regime collapsed. There has been a fundamental shift in U.S. foreign policy. In the Far East, the United States is eager to build an anti-Soviet base, and looking around the world, only the capital under its control best meets this condition. Therefore, supporting the foundation and denying compensation has become the basic policy of the United States. The demolition was stopped last year. Between holding accountable for past wars and satisfying current strategic needs, the United States undoubtedly chooses the latter. ”.
Gao Qiang said: "If you want to make this compensation, you must first get Lao Mei. This matter really can't be delayed, and the further it drags on, the more troublesome it becomes. I can't see it, so I'll do it again. Forget all the money they have in Asia."" What's the end? What should I do when I'm done?" Wang Kunpeng asked. At best, when we didn't come to this era, the price for the sake of a hundred years of peace for the motherland is not too big!" Gao Qiang said firmly.
Wu Di immediately stood up and said: "I completely agree with Lao Gao's opinion, it is better to take advantage of the ability to solve Taiwan first. lest anyone pinch it in the future. At the same time, the United States will be driven out of the Asia-Pacific region. The hundreds of existing air-to-ship missiles can do it. Otherwise, it will be more difficult to do the further you go. Now fight for more interests for the country. It's not in vain." He paused for a moment and looked at everyone, then said: "How much can 300 billion dollars do for claims!" Even if it's halfway through. The most important thing is to get rid of a big problem for China, compared to these, what are we people?"
Deng Feng also nodded in agreement and said: "If you want to do a good job in China's future, this determination and courage are necessary. We must be prepared to fight the United States at any cost. On the issue of claims, I think we will follow the Potsdam Proclamation, and we will stand on our laurels de jure terms. And some of the victim countries of Southeast Asia in World War II will also fight on our side. I think I will send a telegram to the premier and Li Dawei first, how can it be possible for Li Dawei to make this matter clear in the United States and the United States, and we will never back down on China's core interests. If we can solve the problem peacefully, then we will start with the steel mills and shipyards in this country, and we will need people and equipment. The price of equipment is discounted, and people are counted according to their labor, and this matter must not be decided by the United States. No way. Just fight with them. He can't fight if he wants to. Expand the target of attack at sea to large warships, troop carriers and important ports of the city. They look at the history of the future and the United States absolutely cannot afford it. And then there are tens of thousands of prisoners of war in our hands. This is the biggest stack we have right now. This is the biggest benefit we can get at the moment. It must be included in the itinerary. Of course, the Taiwan issue must also be resolved as soon as possible. When Lao Chiang left, he moved everything that could be moved, and the entire treasury of 920,000 taels of gold was moved to Taiwan, and these are what our country needs most now."" So how do you negotiate with Yumoto?" Chang Qiankun asked. We don't have to worry about this aspect, that's our political axe, at most, wait for Li Dawei to come back, and then let him continue to rectify, that kid knows a lot about these things. The head is coming quickly," Deng Feng replied. Deputy Commander Liu: How are the airports in Fujian, Guangzhou, Shanghai, and Qingdao being built? If we really want to fight with Lao Mei, we will definitely not be able to use this base" Wang Kunpeng asked, "The construction workers we sent to various places called the day before yesterday and said: "The foundation has been completed, and now I have just started concrete pouring, I think it will take a month or two, and your air police and bombardment can go. Liu Jun replied.
Deng Feng looked at Zhang Hengshan, who had not spoken, and said: How is your MiG-15 transformation plan going?" Only two planes flew back from Ansan last week, and now they are being surveyed, and it will take three or four months to get the first prototype, and there are many changes to be made." Zhang Hengshan said. Mr. Zhang. Hurry up, it will all depend on the results of your transformation in the future" Deng Feng arched his hand to Zhang Hengshan very funny, and then turned his face to Liu Jun and said: "How about the situation of the research teams sent by Lao Liu to various military factories to fight back.?"
Liu Jun replied: "It's not bad, it's much better than we originally thought. Especially in some old arsenals in Shenyang, there is no problem in the production of conventional weapons and ammunition, and the purity of the formulas and raw materials of some propellants and explosives can be improved. Now the main production equipment and production technology are backward. So the quality is poor and the yield is low."
As for the issue of compensation, we discussed it carefully, and the base set up a special task force, and Chief of Staff Wang took the lead in formulating a plan for the claim. Wu Di, Gao Qiang, you two should first formulate a combat plan to attack the Taiwan Air Force
