Chapter 90: Great Power Politics IV
'What do you think about that?' Hu Jiesen asked rhetorically.
Li Dawei said very solemnly: "On 3 April last year, China's premier issued a statement on the bombing of a Chinese civil aviation plane in Hong Kong, pointing out that the Hong Kong government should bear full and direct responsibility for the losses suffered by our country, and should immediately hand over all the assets of China Airlines and Central Airlines in Hong Kong to the personnel entrusted by the Civil Aviation Administration of the Central People's Political Axe. While the aircraft of the "Two Airlines" Company and all its assets are still in Hong Kong, the Hong Kong government should still be fully responsible for the protection of them.
Hu Jiesen thought to himself: My good cards are all dealt, how can I talk about the rest of the problems? So he also changed the conversation and said, 'Let's put this question aside for a moment. Let's talk about the Hong Kong issue and the establishment of diplomatic relations at the ambassadorial level," Li Dawei's face sank, and after a pause, he said: "The solution of the problem should be carried out in accordance with the principle of first making it easy and then making it difficult, and giving priority to the small and then the large. This small problem can't be solved, how can we talk about the big problem below? I can tell you frankly that it doesn't matter to our country whether these broken planes are or not, and they will not become bargaining chips in your hands. The key is to see your attitude towards this matter, and attitude is everything. I advise you not to complicate simple issues.' Hu Jiesen thought about it too. Don't let these broken planes affect the establishment of diplomatic relations and the big problem of Hong Kong. The Prime Minister has returned the plane of the two airlines detained in Hong Kong before first. I'd better stop playing tricks. He then smiled at Li Dawei and said, "This is your thing, and we don't have the slightest intention of possessing it. We've always wanted to solve this problem sooner rather than later. I will hand over to you the property of the two airlines in Hong Kong. We also saved a lot of heart. I just didn't find a better way and time to hand over. Please find the custodian as soon as possible now, and we will be ready to hand it over.' In the days that followed, the two sides discussed the establishment of diplomatic relations at the ambassadorial level between the two countries and the issue of Hong Kong.
When the two sides talked about the Hong Kong issue, the Chinese delegation explained the attitude of China's political axe towards the Hong Kong issue and the ways and means of resolving it. The British delegation did produce the "Treaty of Nanjing" and the "Treaty of Yenching" signed with the Qing Dynasty and the 1898 "Treaty on the Extension of the Boundary of Hong Kong", which showed that the Chinese government had ceded Hong Kong Island and Kowloon to Britain and leased the "New Territories" for 99 years
Li Dawei didn't wait for the British delegation to finish. Stand up and say, 'Put away your pile of garbage!' The People's Republic of China will never recognize those unequal treaties imposed on the Chinese people by the imperialist powers. The Chinese People's Liberation Army can enter Hong Kong at any time, and I can tell you responsibly that it will occupy the whole of Hong Kong in no more than three days. At that time, I am afraid that there will be any more problems, but they will not be as easy to solve as they are now. Now that we have put forward such lenient conditions, we have resolved this issue with you through consultation, which is to fully consider the complex problems left over from history and the interests of all parties. You're not satisfied. This once again exposes the faces of your righteous people. You don't look at what era it is. Gone are the days of cooking. It is an irresistible historical trend for the country to read and the nation to be liberated. All those who want to resist the tide of history will surely meet with the obsolescence of history.' At this time, Hu Jiesen looked at the angry Li Dawei and thought, "Threat of force, threat of naked force!" At this time, I forgot how to get the documents that exuded a hundred years of shame for the Chinese in his hand. Isn't it the historical fact that it is obtained by relying on the threat of force against China by their own ancestors. In his heart, he fiercely despised Li Dawei's war clamor. But on second thought, I threaten you! What can I do if I threaten you? The U.S. government didn't care about China's threat of force to interfere with North Korea in advance. They think that these Chinese farmers who have come out of the sorghum fields will not dare to send troops! There is no qualification to send troops! Boldly crossed the 38th parallel. As a result, in an instant, hundreds of thousands of united [***] were literally wiped out. We also got on board thirty landing craft, ten 10,000-ton ships, and four fertilizer plants. Lesson me! It is necessary to deeply learn from the lessons of the Americans. These tough Chinese [***] people are not the debaters and Boxers of the Manchu Dynasty. But they did what they said
Li Dawei sat down, took a sip of tea, calmed down his emotions, and directly paraphrased the words of later generations and said to Hu Jiesen categorically: I repeat the premise of our negotiations on the Hong Kong issue: In 1980, China will take back Hong Kong, and China will take back not only the New Territories, but also Hong Kong Island and Kowloon. It is on these two premises that we and you are negotiating ways and means to resolve the Hong Kong issue. In addition, there are still 29 years between now and 1980, and during these 29 years, Hong Kong is not allowed to have major turmoil. If the Chinese and British governments had taken a cooperative approach to solving this problem, major upheavals could have been avoided. To achieve a smooth transition in Hong Kong, if there is any major upheaval, we will always reconsider when and how to reclaim Hong Kong.
Hu Jiesen tilted his head and listened carefully to Li Dawei's speech, feeling that he had overfulfilled the task. Isn't there a difference of 17 years according to the treaty? Don't insist, so as not to provoke the Chinese, and it will be a big trouble to really attack Hong Kong. Looking at Li Dawei's appearance, it is absolutely impossible to get any benefits from here. I had to agree with China. Proceed to the next topic.
After two days of negotiations on the establishment of diplomatic relations at the ambassadorial level.
The two sides signed: Joint Communiqué of the People's Republic of China and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland on the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations.
The People's Republic of China and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland agreed that with effect from 20 April 1951, their diplomatic representatives accredited to each other would be upgraded from chargé d'affaires to ambassadors.
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland recognizes the People's Republic of China as the sole legitimate political axe of China. On April 20, 1951, it was abolished that its official representative office in Taiwan was abolished.
Abolish the Treaty of Nanking and the Treaty of Yenching signed between the British and Qing governments, and the 1898 Treaty on the Extension of the Boundary of Hong Kong. On April 10, 1951, the People's Republic of China and the United Kingdom on the question of Hong Kong: On July 1, 1980, the People's Republic of China would resume the exercise of sovereignty over Hong Kong (i.e., Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the "New Territories") and take back Hong Kong. From 1951 to 1980, Hong Kong's political axe ensured that Hong Kong's long-term prosperity, stability, smooth transition and smooth return to the motherland would be maintained.
The People's Republic of China and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland unanimously affirm mutual respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity, non-interference in each other's internal affairs, equality and mutual benefit, and peaceful coexistence.
The British delegation led by Hu Jiesen visited China and was a great success! He has also been promoted from chargé d'affaires to ambassador.
The repercussions of the Sino-US joint communiqué in the world are enormous! It determines the fate of the future of the book.
Both sides agreed that it may be our common responsibility to prevent the 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 kind of adjustment is in line with the national conditions and the fundamental interests and aspirations of the people, and is also necessary for building a peaceful and stable world. Prime Minister Shigeru Yoshida threw aside the Sino-US joint communique, which he had read many times. He couldn't hold it anymore. He lay decadently on the tatami mat. The first war in Korea made the people of China 'take advantage of the advantages of the world, and divide the rivers and mountains' at this time they were already a lamb to be slaughtered, and they could only resign themselves to fate. He lamented that he was born at the wrong time, and at this time he took over this mess.
The Sino-US joint communiqué has greatly shaken the people, and people have mixed reviews, some people have scolded them, the United States has sold the book, and the feelings of grief are like mourning, and some people are gloomy and tearful. There are also some people who are constantly talking in the streets. In fact, several 'elites' of the Yamato nation committed suicide by seppuku in protest against the Sino-US joint communiqué after burning the American flag in the central square of Tokyo. There are also some who say that their citizens are ecstatic. Farmers and service providers in particular are feeling elated and ready to make a big splash. There are even some people who have a heart, seeing that China has defeated the United States, and began to quietly learn Chinese.
The impact and shock on Taiwan will by no means be less than this.
The people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait believe that Taiwan is an inalienable part of China, and the United States has no objection to this. The US political axe sincerely hopes that the people on both sides of the strait can peacefully resolve the Taiwan issue.'' Mother Xipi!' Chiang Kai-shek lost his former reserve, he clumped the newspaper into a ball, threw it on the ground, waved his fists, and roared: 'Niang Xipi! Rogue! Liar!'' Daling, what's wrong?' Song Meiling walked in from outside, picked up the newspaper that Chiang Kai-shek had thrown on the ground, and said: 'A gentleman must be cautious. How can you say such indecent language?' Chiang Kai-shek sat on the sofa and said angrily: "It's all forced by Truman and Acheson, and I'm angry that I use foul language.'" Da Ling, come and drink some water, calm down' Song Meiling poured a glass of cold boiled water from the cold water bottle and handed it to Chiang Kai-shek and said: 'Da Ling, I will go to the United States again in two days to find out, my Republican friends will do some activities, maybe there will be a turnaround.' Chiang Kai-shek took the water cup handed by his wife, took a sip of the symbolic surname, and put it on the coffee table. Constantly groping for his bald head, pensive. He knew very well that Taiwan would not be able to maintain the rule of the small imperial court of the Chiang dynasty without the support of the United States. Madame's words reminded him. He walked to the desk, picked up the phone, and brought the eldest prince Chiang Ching-kuo.
He regained his elegance and self-restraint, calmed down, and said in a long voice slowly: "Jingguo, next year is the year of the general election in the United States, and we must step down from power, and we must not let the Mingzhu Party take power again. You have to arrange for a reliable person to come over, and on the one hand, you will secretly provide campaign funds to the Republican Party and support the Republican Party, which is friendly to us, to win the general election, and on the other hand, you must actively provide the Republican Party with shells that are not conducive to boiling the party and government axe. Let them shell Truman.'' It's good,' Chiang Ching-kuo thought of his cousin Mao Bangchu and said, 'Father, do you think it's okay to send Mao Bangchu over?' He looked at Jiang Jie's expressionless face and did not react, and then said: "Let him be stationed in the United States as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Air Force, ostensibly responsible for the purchase of planes and fuel, but in fact he is in charge of lobbying outside the United States. Buying Republican congressmen' Chiang Ching-kuo made a gesture with his thumb and forefinger to count the money.
Chiang Kai-shek waved his hand and said, 'These things are up to you.'
