Chapter Seventy-Six: The Difficult Road to Claim IV
The next time, when the two sides held talks again, Takashima Ichiro took out a frame of dead pigs that were not afraid of boiling water and said: "According to your draft peace treaty, it is not enough to compensate you with all the money you have, even if you tear down all your belongings, this method of killing chickens and taking eggs is not good for us and you. Besides, the $300 billion you're proposing is completely unfounded.
Li Dawei said: "300 billion US dollars is our incomplete statistics. I'm afraid that 600 billion can't stop it all by counting it all. Now the important thing is that you have a bad attitude, if you can have a good attitude,
Undertaking to fulfill the liability for compensation, we will consider the affordability of the company according to the specific circumstances of the company. Give appropriate relief. But for you, the secondary industry must be taken apart. You must be completely removed from the war potential of this book. Truly build a new book of peace, openness, and freedom." That is, we promise to fulfill our liability for compensation, and the best way is to let the capital develop first, and then help you resume economic construction. You're not going to be able to do that." Although Ichiro Takashima took a step back, he still insisted on not accepting the Chinese plan." Who said that you will not be allowed to develop this book? Haven't we always encouraged and supported you to develop agriculture and the tertiary industry? Isn't it good that I have drawn up for you the prospects for your future development from the very first day?" That's just your idea, and you're asking us to come up with a practical way to meet our responsibilities. I think so, let's go back and draw up a new draft of the Sino-Chinese peace treaty, and then we will discuss it accordingly. I pledge to give priority to your Chinese interests."
Li Dawei angrily pointed at Ichiro Takashima, the representative of this book, and said, "I remind you, don't forget what your identity is!" What right do you defeated countries have to draw up the draft peace treaty yourself? This is not 1894 nor 1900. I think the most effective way for you to do it is to blow you upside down, as the United States did.
Takashima Ichiro's face was pale, and his lips were constantly trembling, this damn Shina man, I really don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and the victorious country with his mouth open, and the defeated country with his mouth closed, if it weren't for the United States and the Soviet Union sending troops, you wouldn't even be as good as 1894. I really don't know what's going on with myself. It's really a frame of a victorious country. He felt that the self-esteem of his Yamato nation had been greatly hurt, and he couldn't help but snort contemptuously and suppressed his anger and said, "It is true that we are a defeated country. The United States turned us upside down and dropped two atomic bombs. We were defeated by the United States. We have no temper at all with the United States. He sneered, "But what are you going to do to blow us upside down. What's the most effective way for you? Speaking is based on strength. It's not about intimidation and big talk."" Okay," Li Dawei heard Takashima's words, and his heart hurt like a pinprick. It seems that they are not ruthless to Xiao Yue, and they will never take China seriously." Mr. Ichiro Takashima, you said something wonderful. In the past two days, I just want to say that China and China are friendly neighbors with a strip of water. I think that the people of Ben are also victims of war. I forgot that you said I had this cheap temper. And so much nonsense with you. You can go back now. Waiting for us to speak to you with our strength and in the most effective way for you. I'll tell you again, you can't lose a penny in reparations. Time is 30 years, and one day can't be more."
After speaking, he got up and scolded angrily "cheap goods" and left the negotiation hall.
The Taiwan question
On New Year's Day in 1951, Zhou Enlai delivered an important speech on resolving the Taiwan issue at the New Year's Symposium of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and put forward ten principles and policies on the issue of Taiwan's return to the motherland and the realization of peaceful reunification:
(1) In order to put an end to the unfortunate situation in which the Chinese nation is plunged into separatism as soon as possible, it is proposed that the KMT and the CPC hold talks again to jointly accomplish the great cause of the motherland's reunification. The two sides can first send people to make contact and fully exchange views, so that the people of Taiwan can return to the big family of the People's Republic of China as soon as possible.
(2) After the reunification of the country, under the unified leadership of the Central People's Political Axe, Taiwan may be regarded as a special local administrative region with a high degree of autonomy, and the Central Political Axe will not interfere in Taiwan's local affairs.
(3) Taiwan's current social and economic system will remain unchanged, and its way of life will remain unchanged for 50 years. The Taiwan Special Administrative Region protects the right to private property from infringement in accordance with the law.
(4) The Central People's Political Axe is responsible for the management of the defense of the Taiwan Special Administrative Region. The political axe of the Taiwan Special Administrative Region is responsible for maintaining social order in the Special Administrative Region. The Central People's Political Axe's military stationed in Taiwan to be responsible for defense does not interfere in Taiwan's local affairs. When necessary, the Taiwan Special Administrative Region may request the garrison to assist in maintaining public order and providing disaster relief to the Central People's Political Axe, and the garrison expenses shall be borne by the Central People's Political Axe. Taiwan's armed forces were gradually reorganized into the People's Liberation Army
(5) The Taiwan authorities and representatives from all walks of life may hold leading positions in political institutions with surnames throughout the country and participate in state management.
(6) People of all ethnic groups and people from all walks of life in Taiwan who wish to return to the mainland of the motherland to settle down shall ensure that proper arrangements are made, that they will not be discriminated against, that they will meet each other with sincerity, and that they will come and go freely.
(7) Encourage people from Taiwan's industrial and commercial circles to return to the mainland of the motherland to invest and set up various economic undertakings to ensure their legitimate rights and interests and profits.
(8) The Central People's Government shall be responsible for the management of the foreign affairs related to the Taiwan Special Administrative Region, and the Central Government shall set up institutions in Taiwan to handle all Taiwan's foreign-related affairs.
(9) Patriotism is in no particular order, and it is everyone's responsibility to unify the motherland. We warmly welcome the people of all ethnic groups, people from all walks of life, and mass organizations in Taiwan to provide suggestions and discuss the country through various channels and in various ways. Chiang Ching-kuo may be appointed chief executive of the Taiwan Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China, and officials at all levels leading the affairs of the special administrative region shall serve as usual; Its income remains unchanged.
Zhou Enlai delivered an important speech on the settlement of the Taiwan issue at the New Year's Symposium of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, which was transmitted all over the world through radio signals.
Chiang Kai-shek's "presidential residence" in Yangmingshan, Taipei. Chiang Kai-shek had listened to it twice. As he paced around his office, he thought of the fact that two years earlier, on January 14, 1949, [***] in the name of [***] Chairman of the Central Committee, he issued the "Statement on the Current Situation": "Although the Chinese People's Liberation Army has sufficient strength and sufficient reasons, it is sure that the remnants of the reactionary political axe of the Kuomintang will be completely wiped out in a short period of time; However, in order to bring the war to a speedy end, to achieve real peace, and to reduce the suffering of the people, China [***] is willing to enter into peace negotiations with the reactionary political axes of the Kuomintang in Nanking and any other local political axes and military groups of the Kuomintang on the basis of the following conditions. These conditions are: (i) the punishment of war criminals; (2) repeal the pseudo-constitution; (3) Abolishing the pseudo-legal system; (4) To reorganize all reactionary armies in accordance with the principle of open cooking; (5) confiscation of bureaucratic capital; (6) Reform of the land system; (7) Abolition of traitorous treaties; (8) To convene a political consultative conference without the participation of reactionary elements, to establish a joint political axe, and to receive all the powers of the reactionary political axe of the Kuomintang in Nanjing and the political axes at all levels under it. ”
Why did the conditions of the peace talks, which were separated by two years, suddenly change the fundamental surname. [***] and what new tricks to play.
At this time, Chiang Kai-shek's heart was very conflicted. It was his life's goal to unify China and maintain his rule with Sanming Cooking. Although the Kuomintang was defeated on the mainland, through review and introspection, there has been a great improvement. First of all, Chen Chenghe Jingguo's "375 rent reduction" has achieved initial results, and it has won the support of the peasants, and it has used the 900,000 taels of gold and 10 million US dollars brought from the mainland as funds to carry out currency reform, stabilize Taiwan's economy, and what makes him even more gratifying is the reorganization and reorganization of the army. After three major surgeries, the factions in the army were eliminated and unified command was achieved. On January 29, 1950, Tsai Hsiao-chien, secretary of the Taiwan Provincial Working Committee, was arrested. Cai Xiaoqian confessed the list of "secret envoy No. 1", Wu Shi, then deputy chief of staff of the Kuomintang Ministry of National Defense, and all the more than 400 underground [***] in Taiwan, and the underground intelligence system in Taiwan was completely wiped out, eliminating Taiwan's henchmen. It greatly encouraged the officers and men of the three armies. Completely shattered the myth of the invincibility of the communist army. This made him see that the plan of "one year of preparation, two years of counteroffensive, three years of sweeping, and five years of success" to counterattack the mainland is not impossible. The communist army is nothing remarkable either.
However, the disastrous defeat of the US military in Korea poured cold water on his head, which not only made his counterattack on the mainland with the strength of the United States come to naught, but also caused an international uproar, and the United States and the Soviet Union entered a state of imminent war in Europe. A new world war could break out at any time. In order to cope with the situation in Europe, the United States had to make a strategic retreat in Asia, and a few days ago US Chargé d'Affaires Ranken was ordered to talk with Chiang Kai-shek. Rankine hoped that he would not make any major offensive on the mainland. In particular, when it is necessary to use heavy equipment such as airplanes and tanks in battle, it is necessary to first consult with US General Chase in Taiwan. At the same time, US Secretary of State Acheson expressed the same hope to the Kuomintang ambassador to Washington. Obviously, he wanted to curry favor with [***] at the expense of Taiwan's interests, which was 108,000 miles away from MacArthur's promise to himself.
Although I hate this arrogant old Mai. Lao Mai didn't take himself as the president of the Republic of China in his eyes, and once he sprayed a cigarette in his face in public and pointed a pipe at himself, if it wasn't for Madame's timely reminder, he really wanted to kick this bastard out. But he agrees with himself on the point of opposing [***].
[***] through the Korean War, the world was impressed, [***] on land is really able to fight, even the United States was defeated. But that was only on land, and the communist army was almost vulnerable to the mainland. Without the Navy, without the Air Force, what can [***] do to me? [***] It is now knowing this that only such a peace scheme can be thrown. Let me hand over the army. Then I'm not just a fish on a cutting board - to be slaughtered. [***] is playing with me again. It's not worth your life to play with the dead. The first Kuomintang-Communist cooperation, you [***] greatly expanded the number of members and organizations, established the workers' and peasants' armed second Kuomintang-Communist cooperation, [***] developed from tens of thousands of people to a million regular army and two million militia. Took away my world, and this time you [***] are here again. I'm going to work with you again this time, and you're going to kill me.
Just as Chiang Kai-shek was walking around the office and couldn't come up with an idea, Chiang Ching-kuo walked in with a radio record of Zhou Enlai's speech in his hand. Father, this is a transcript of Zhou Enlai's speech on the settlement of the Taiwan issue" "Well" I have heard it." Chiang Kai-shek was silent for a while and then said, "What do you think about this matter?" I think this is a new united front offensive launched by [***] taking advantage of the victory in the Korean War, which is very harmful, and we are very passive no matter what. If we respond to the ten of the week, we are tantamount to surrendering to [***]. The Republic of China is gone. If we don't respond, we lose points politically in the first place. World opinion is very unfavorable to us. Secondly, it has also played a role in corroding and disintegrating the fighting spirit of our military and civilians at home."
Chiang Kai-shek was very satisfied when he saw his beloved son maturing politically, and he pointed to the sofa and motioned for Chiang Ching-kuo to sit down. I also turned around and sat down on the couch. Say, "What do you think we should do?" Father, this involves the big question of where the Republic of China is going, and I haven't thought about it yet. I thought it would be a good idea to let you discuss it.
