Chapter 116: Sino-Japanese Peace and Friendship in Beijing
Ichiro Takashima roughly flipped through this catalog, felt dizzy, cold hands and feet, and his face turned red to white, from white to green. Although he was mentally prepared to admit the implementation of the liability under the Potsdam Proclamation. But when I saw this catalog, I still felt unacceptable, and these demolition projects proposed by China are the backbone enterprises that support the economy. What would it be like to demolish these to China? He said that he would always be able to follow China forever, and that his efforts for nearly 100 years since the Meiji Restoration would be in vain. China is really amazing, doesn't this tear down the book? He closed his eyes, took a few deep breaths, adjusted his emotions and said, "Director Li, it's all demolished, what will I do in the future?" This will cause hundreds of thousands of people to lose their jobs, and it will cause a total collapse of the economy. ”
Li Dawei looked at Ichiro Takashima's pale and slightly green face and constantly trembling lips and said with a smile: "Nothing can't be done!" China and the United States have reached a consensus on the future development of the book, which is clearly stated in the Sino-US joint announcement. The secondary industry must be completely dismantled, and the war potential of the company must be completely removed. Truly build a new book that is harmless to people and animals, peaceful, open-boiled, and free. You may not understand it now, and it's understandable that you're feeling a little distressed about tearing out these rags. No matter which country wants to carry out large-scale industrial readjustment, it will produce some pains in the short term. This kind of pain is precisely because you will vigorously develop the agriculture and tertiary industry in the future, and strive to build the city into a world tourist mecca and an international financial center in a relatively short period of time. The price that must be paid for the global consumption center. This kind of readjustment is in line with the national conditions of the country, which lacks resources, and the fundamental interests and aspirations of the broadest masses of the people. Decades from now, the people of Yuben, who have attained happiness and abundance, will thank your ancestors for eight generations. ”
Anger burned in Takashima Ichiro's chest, and at this moment he really wanted to jump up and kill this hateful Chinese opposite. Li Dawei looked at Ichiro Takashima with an angry and helpless expression on his face, and then said very friendly: "China's political axe and people are very kind, and they have always repaid grievances with virtue, and this problem cannot be changed if you want to." Proceeding from the overall situation of the future friendly development between the two countries, and considering that China and the two countries are neighbors separated by a strip of water, that the peoples of the two countries have a long history of traditional friendship, and that the people of the two countries are also victims of this war, the Chinese government has considered that the workers of these enterprises will face the problem of being laid off and unemployed, and not being able to eat. China's political axe is ready to decide to hire workers and engineers from these enterprises at high salaries. $20-$50 per person per month according to the technical hierarchy. The wages of these workers and engineers and technicians are deducted from the compensation and paid by the Governor of the Honhon. In addition, the Chinese government and the people have given full consideration to the practical problem of not being self-sufficient in food, and the Chinese employers are responsible for food and lodging during their work in China. In order to encourage the hard work of their workers and engineering and technical personnel, Chinese employers will also give them a certain amount of bonuses every month according to their work performance and contributions.
"Director Li, didn't you say $100 per person per month last time?" Ichiro Takashima asked.
"Last time I said that," Li Dawei smiled and nodded, "I said it last time, but you didn't agree, and then I seriously analyzed the reasons for your disagreement, and I myself feel that the $100 is a little inappropriate, which will cause too much pressure on your finances." So this time it was adjusted. However, this is also far higher than their wages in their home country. ”
Ichiro Takashima then asked, "The downward adjustment is too large!" ”
Li Dawei smiled and said: "If we can't reach an agreement this time, we may adjust it next time; If we don't need money in another two years, we don't want it, and this time it is mainly for the sake of domestic stability that we ourselves will take the initiative to take up the burden of supporting these laid-off workers in our own country under extremely difficult circumstances. Hey, who made China a big country with responsibility? It's not easy to be a responsible big country!"
Takashima Ichiro now really feels what it means to be slaughtered by others, and scolds Li Dawei in his heart for being shameless, this person is really good to say, and bad things to do! He is still shy about talking about the big country that is responsible. Bah! Bullshit!
Li Dawei paused and said, "Director Takashima Ichiro, there is one more thing I would like to ask you. I would like to inform Prime Minister Shigeru Yoshida that he must take all necessary measures to protect the property of these enterprises, and inform the presidents and managers of those enterprises to properly keep all kinds of equipment and related technical files, and to prevent anyone from destroying, destroying, hiding, transferring, and transferring these equipment and related technical files. From May 1, 1951, all transfers were null and void, and China had 100% of the rights over the various assets of these enterprises. Including land. If this happens, we will prosecute these individuals for the crime of concealment and theft of Chinese state-owned assets. ”
"We know what to do." Takashima Ichiro said very seriously.
"That's right!" Li Dawei seemed to suddenly remember something and said to Takashima Ichiro: "There is one more thing that must be discussed with you, whether you will be responsible for this demolition work, or will we be responsible for the Chinese side?" ”
"Since these properties are already yours in China, of course you are responsible for the Chinese side." Ichiro Takashima answered Li Dawei's question without hesitation.
"Okay, after this meeting, we will send 20 landing ships and 25,000 volunteer soldiers to land in Nagoya and Oban respectively to carry out this demolition mission. Li Dawei said with a bright face: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry to cause you trouble."
"What? 25,000 volunteers, landed in Honden" This time Takashima Ichiro was really frightened. 25,000 volunteers, this is no joke. He stumbled and said, "It's better for us to be responsible for demolishing, packing, and sending it to the port in China designated by you." The volunteers have already worked hard to defeat the wolf of US imperialist ambitions in Korea, and this time they will not work hard for the volunteers. ”
"Then it's really bothering you, I'm really a little embarrassed, we want to reduce the burden of this aspect as much as possible, and try to do it ourselves if we can, anyway, the volunteers have nothing to do when they come back from North Korea, and they are idle, so let them do it."
"No trouble! No hassle! No hassle at all. Ichiro Takashima said repeatedly.
After five days of arduous negotiations between the two sides, the two sides compensated China for the huge losses caused by the war of aggression against China, and finally reached a demand in the "Sino-Yenching Treaty" to accept China's war compensation of $150 billion for goods and labor. China will demolish and relocate the equipment of 900 enterprises in two phases, and all the property, including real estate, of these enterprises will be owned by China, and 350,000 industrial workers and engineering and technical personnel will serve 10 years of labor in China. It is said that all the provisions of the Sino-Yenching Treaty will be implemented.
Ichiro Takashima successfully completed the task assigned to him by the Prime Minister. On behalf of the Chinese government, he signed the "Sino-Yenching Treaty," which reduced half of China's claims. It paved the way for Prime Minister Shigeru Yoshida to visit China.
A week after Takashima Ichiro returned, Prime Minister Shigeru Yoshida visited the People's Republic of China from July 14 to January 19, 1951, at the invitation of Premier Zhou Enlai. Premier Zhou Enlai and Prime Minister Shigeru Yoshida, in a friendly atmosphere, conscientiously and frankly exchanged views on various issues between the two countries and other issues of concern to both sides, centering on the issue of normalization of diplomatic relations between the two countries, and agreed to sign the "Sino-Peaceful and Friendly Yanjing Treaty": "China and the two countries have a long history of traditional friendship. The peoples of both countries fervently hope for an end to the anomalies that have so far prevailed between the two countries. The end of the state of war and the normalization of diplomatic relations between China and China are the common aspirations of the two peoples. The "Sino-Peaceful and Friendly Yenching Treaty" will open a new page in the history of the development of bilateral relations.
The present side reiterates its full understanding of the position put forward by the political axe of the People's Republic of China. China said that despite the differences in social systems, the two countries should and can establish peaceful and friendly relations. The normalization of diplomatic relations between the two countries and the development of good-neighborly and friendly relations between the two countries conform to the fundamental interests of the two countries and the two peoples.

(2) The People's Republic of China and the People's Republic of China have decided to establish diplomatic relations with effect from July 2, December 4, 1951. The two countries decided to take all necessary measures in their respective capitals for the establishment and performance of each other's embassies and to exchange ambassadors as soon as possible. (3) The political axe bitterly felt the responsibility for the heavy damage caused to the Chinese people by the war in the past, and expressed deep remorse. The responsibility for war reparations will be conscientiously fulfilled. (4) The People's Republic of China announced that for the sake of the friendship between the Chinese and Chinese peoples, it would partially reduce or reduce its claims for war reparations against its own country, and would not make any new claims for reparations except as stipulated in the Sino-Japanese Treaty of Yenching. 5. The political axe of the People's Republic of China and the political axe of the People's Republic of China agree to establish lasting peaceful and friendly relations between the two countries on the basis of the principles of mutual respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity, mutual non-aggression, non-interference in each other's internal affairs, equality and mutual benefit, and peaceful coexistence. The two countries affirm that, in their mutual relations, all disputes will be settled by peaceful means, without resorting to force or the threat of force. 6. In order to further develop relations between the two countries and expand people-to-people exchanges, the People's Republic of China and the People's Republic of China have signed agreements on culture, trade, services, agriculture, and fisheries.
