Chapter 115: Sino-Japanese Treaty of Peace and Friendship in Beijing I
The issuance of the Sino-US joint announcement made Prime Minister Shigeru Yoshida seriously ill. Lying on his hospital bed, he thought of the Sino-US joint announcement and the Chinese "taking advantage of the convenience and slaughtering the world." His heart was like a knife. But as a politician. He knows very well that history has chosen itself at this moment and pushed himself onto the stage of history, and he cannot be so decadent, but must make something to live up to his life.
As soon as he recovered from his illness, he informed the chief cabinet secretary to prepare the car. He is going to find the Emperor Mack, who is now called the Emperor of his country, to see if he can have any good way to save the book again this time.
In MacArthur's gloomy assembly room. The two sat on the couch in front of the fireplace, MacArthur muttering a corncob pipe and smoking incessantly. Shigeru Yoshida looked at this man who was constantly spitting clouds and fog in front of his eyes, and Emperor Mackin also had a decadent look on his face. Since October last year, the commander-in-chief of the Far Eastern Army has looked much older than before, dressed in pleated and folded military plain clothes, like a street veteran, with gray hair and droopy bags under his eyes, no different from that of a man of his age. He no longer has the invincible spirit of the past, and has lost the arrogant and unscrupulous demeanor of the past. He exhaled thick smoke from his mouth as he explained to Shigeru Yoshida the world situation and the current Asian policy of the US political axe.
Emperor Mack said helplessly to Shigeru Yoshida: "There is no definite and feasible good way for China now. If we continue to fight with the Chinese, the situation at home and abroad in the United States will not allow it, and the United States will not be able to withstand a two-sided war in Europe and Asia. Even if I want to defend it, what can I do? The war depends on strength, and the United States now has a total of 50,000 or 60,000 troops in Ben and North Korea, so what can it use to resist China's millions of tiger and wolf troops? MacArthur pondered for a long time and said worriedly: "No one in Asia can stop the rise of New China." China is now a country with strong nationalism, and it has a very distinctive army that has been tempered by decades of war. His huge population base provides an almost endless supply of troops for this army, and his vast territory and military potential are almost immeasurable. ”
"Is China really as strong as you say it is? I think I only used hundreds of thousands of dollars at the beginning."
MacArthur was very dissatisfied with Shigeru Yoshida interrupting him and said, "Don't you think about what you thought about in the first place, don't you understand?" At that time, it was a fragmented old China under the leadership of General Chiang Kai-shek. But who is it now, the MZD who doesn't care about everything! MZD, do you know? Under his banner gathered a group of elite generals with strong nationalism and [***] ideas, and millions of brave warriors who regarded death as their home. Now only the United States can use all its political, economic and military power to confront China, but now the United States cannot get out of Europe. ”
MacArthur knocked his pipe on the ashtray and said to Shigeru Yoshida, who was sitting in front of him: "Regarding the issue of war claims raised by the Chinese, we in the United States have done our best, and how to solve it in the end depends on you and the Chinese, and I can only sympathize with you." If China really wants to forcibly land in Yuben and carry out forced demolition, everyone will be very uncomfortable. It was undoubtedly an unprecedented catastrophe for him. What's more, if they don't leave after landing, that's when the real trouble comes. According to the Sino-US joint announcement, our US military cannot interfere with China's behavior of "preventing the possible resurrection of militarism to the greatest extent." What do you think instinctively can do to get them to leave? At that time, I am afraid that the archipelago will become a province of China. ”
MacGreat's speech undoubtedly dashed Shigeru Yoshida's last glimmer of hope. He walked out of MacArthur's house in a trance. He didn't know how he got back to the Prime Minister's residence, and he scolded US President Harry S. Truman in his office for betraying the book. He scolded MacArthur for being incompetent, occupying the book and failing to provide effective protection for it, and scolded China for being unreasonable, and the lion opened his mouth and scolded and scolded, and he couldn't help but cry with sad old tears.
After scolding, I was tired of crying. But there is still something to do, and the country still has to continue, and the Yamato nation still wants to survive. Now that there is already an American wolf, there will really be another Chinese tiger at that time, and then it will really be impossible to live. He thought of the Sino-US joint announcement: "Both sides agreed that it is our common responsibility to prevent the possible resurgence of militarism as much as possible. The two sides are committed to building a peaceful and open country. The two sides support the structural adjustment of the industry, vigorously develop the agriculture and tertiary industry of the industry, and strive to build the industry into a world tourist destination and an international financial center in a relatively short period of time. Global Consumption Center. This adjustment is "What to do?" It is necessary to prevent the wolves and tigers of China and the United States from dividing up the country for annihilation, let alone let the current round be under the rule of China. Now as long as you are lying on your salary, the only way is to take a step back. Agree to China's claims. Only in this way can we survive, and only by solving the problem of survival can we talk about the development of the future, and there is a saying in China that "there are green mountains in the fear of no firewood", perhaps after the whole country has worked hard to make the country strong, with the indomitable spirit of the people, in agriculture, light industry and service industries, a big effort may be able to create a spectacle, can make a difference.
He asked the Chief Cabinet Secretary to take out the claim clause in the draft peace treaty drafted by the Chinese side and put forward: China's political axe demanded that the Chinese political axe immediately pay 120 billion US dollars in inter-state compensation to China, and 180 billion US dollars in national compensation claims to the Chinese people. On this basis, the 'Sino-Chinese Friendship Treaty' was signed with the two sides, and the two sides announced the end of the state of war and the establishment of formal diplomatic relations.
"300 billion is really too much, we only got 370 million after counting the war captured in the First Sino-Japanese War, China is really ruthless this time!"
He called the head of the treaty bureau, Ichiro Takashima, and asked him to go to China again. Try to get the Chinese side to give me a waiver. For the sake of instinct, let's fight for more, even if you can reduce it by one cent, it's good, try to play the Taiwan card with China.
For this job, Takashima Ichiro is 10,000 unwilling to take it, this is a stinky job for 10,000 years. But there is no way, the Prime Minister's order has to be carried out, I don't go to hell, who will go to hell. He had no choice but to come to China again, to Yanjing, and once again to see Li Dawei, who he was most unwilling to see.
After the two sides met, Ichiro Takashima first expressed deep reflection on his attitude at the last meeting and expressed his deep apologies for this.
Then he took out the trump card in his hand.
"Honorable Director Li Dawei, I have come to inform you and your political axe about this time, the political axe of the Republic of China has agreed to give up its claim for war reparations against its own country, and to sign the "Sino-Chinese Friendship Treaty" with the Chinese government to develop friendly relations between China and China. We are asked to diplomatically want to recognize them as the only legitimate political axe representing China, and we would like to hear your views on this matter. ”
Li Dawei frowned, and the director of the treaty bureau said: "Director Takashima Ichiro, I tell you frankly that your Taiwan card is invalid. For us, it is not useful at all. The Taiwan issue is not what we want to talk about this time, and as far as Taiwan's Kuomintang authorities are concerned, their time is running out. Nothing he does means anything to a dying regime. If you don't believe me, you can go back now, and you come back in three months, and we'll talk about what we're going to talk about. ”
"No, no, no." Takashima Ichiro hurriedly said: "I think Mr. Li, you must have misunderstood what I meant, I just want to tell you about this matter, and we have no interest in the Kuomintang authorities in Taiwan." We have come here with great sincerity. We say that we are willing to accept the draft peace treaty proposed by the People's Republic of China. If the talks between us can be successful, Prime Minister Shigeru Yoshida will personally come to Yanjing, China, to sign the Sino-Vietnamese Friendship Treaty. ”
Takashima Ichiro didn't expect that his trump card had just been taken out, and he called this Li Dawei "killed" like this. He observed Li Dawei's confident expression, it seemed that what he said did not seem to be a lie, the time was very specific, and within three months, they could tell themselves on such a diplomatic occasion that they had made all preparations and were ready to go. Taiwan really looks like it's going to be finished.
Li Dawei clearly pointed out: "China and China are still in a state of war, and how to get rid of this abnormal state is actually very simple. The core issue is that, first of all, we must admit the crimes committed by invading China. And take concrete action to take responsibility for war crimes, rather than staying in words to apologize and introspect. The position of the unconditional implementation of Article 8 of the Potsdam Proclamation. Thus, China recognizes that it must fulfill its responsibilities under the Potsdam Proclamation, and recognizes all of China's rights to demand that the Potsdam Proclamation be fulfilled. Accept all demands of the victorious Power, China, under the guidance of the provisions of the Potsdam Proclamation. It is said that the country unconditionally accepts the demand for war reparations for goods and servitude. Only by following the provisions of the Potsdam Proclamation can we sign the "Sino-Chinese Treaty of Peace and Friendship" and put an end to the abnormal state of war that has existed between the two countries so far. Develop friendly relations between China and China in the future. For the Ben, this problem should be solved early, take the initiative early, and solve it later and take the initiative later. China's political attitude has always been that this issue must be resolved as soon as possible, and now we are here to talk about the question of how to solve it. ”
Ichiro Takashima immediately said: "I admit that from September 18, 1931 to August 15, 1945, the war of aggression against China was launched during the 14 years that caused huge losses and huge human injuries to the Chinese government and people. He said that his country was willing to bear the consequences of war crimes. Acknowledging the responsibility for the implementation of the provisions of the Potsdam Proclamation, and acknowledging that China has the right to demand that the provisions of the Potsdam Proclamation be fulfilled in this paper. However, it is only the amount of claims made by China that is huge, and it is really impossible to enforce the cash."
Li Dawei said: "In the last meeting, I said that $300 billion is our incomplete statistics. If we make more detailed statistics, the amount may be even larger, and you know best. As for the specific amount of compensation in the future, we will give appropriate reductions and reductions based on the political axe's attitude toward this war and the specific situation of the book, and comprehensively considering the company's ability to bear it and its future survival and development. So now it's important that you have a proper attitude. Li Dawei continued: "Just now you also talked about the 14 years of your war of aggression against China, which caused huge losses and huge injuries to the Chinese political axe and people. The State is willing to bear the consequences of war crimes and acknowledges its responsibility to carry out the fulfilment of the provisions of the Potsdam Proclamation. Then this problem will be much easier to solve. Saying that, Li Dawei took out a thick copy of the "Catalogue of the First Batch of Enterprises Listed in the First Batch of Relocation Enterprises" from his leather bag, handed it to Ichiro Takashima on the other side of the negotiation table and said, "This is the first batch of goods and the list of war reparations for the surname of labor and labor, please take a look."
Ichiro Takashima took over the thick "Catalogue of the First Batch of Relocation Enterprises" and flipped through a few pages: "There are six large iron and steel enterprises in Japan, including the Iron and Steel Company, the Steel Pipe Company, the Kobe Iron and Steel Company, and the Kawasaki Iron and Steel Company. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ishikawajima Harima Heavy Industries Shipyard in Yokohama, Kawasaki Shipbuilding Company, Mitsui Shipbuilding Company and other four shipbuilding enterprises; Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, two coal enterprises with an annual coal mining capacity of 2 million tons and coal washing of more than 2 million tons, and two oil refining enterprises with an annual output of 1.7 million tons; 6 150,000 kW thermal power enterprises; 2 non-ferrous metal enterprises with an annual output of 40,000 tons of aluminum ingots; 3 cable factories, one cemented carbide factory with an annual output of 500 tons of cemented carbide; 1 non-ferrous metal processing plant with an annual output of 60,000 tons of copper; 1 calcium carbide enterprise with an annual output of 60,000 tons of calcium carbide; 1 synthetic rubber enterprise with an annual output of 18,000 tons of synthetic rubber, 2 boiler manufacturers with an annual output of 4,000 tons of high and medium pressure boilers, 1 automobile enterprise with an annual output of 30,000 automobiles, 2 large machine tool manufacturing enterprises with an annual output of 4,200 sets of various machine tools, 1 factory with an annual output of 5 million cutting tools, 1 factory with an annual output of 80,000 electrical instruments and 40,000 sets of automotive instruments, 1 steam turbine factory with an annual output of 600,000 kilowatts, and an annual output of 10 million sets of ball bearings Ball Bearing Factory, petroleum machinery enterprises, High-voltage porcelain enterprises, switch rectifiers, insulating materials, carbon brushes. Locomotives, aircraft, tires, blowers, radios, batteries, forging, and engine manufacturing enterprises have to carry out overall demolition and relocation of more than 30 industrial categories and more than 500 factories and enterprises. Ichiro Takashima felt dizzy.
