Chapter 314: The Peace Treaty between the Soviet Union and Japan (Part II)
The second more
The most terrible war of the Cold War is not that you will be struck with surgical precision by the United States, but that you will feel the all-out aggression of the torrent of steel. As an archipelagic nation of 378,000 square kilometers, the Soviet Union's massive armored swarm operations were enough to allow a torrent of tanks to cover every inch of Japan's land and drain the last drop of their bright red blood.
When Hosokawa finally saw from Yanayev's serious expression that the other party was not political intimidation but really made such a move, he began to panic and gave up the opportunity to recuperate and recuperate, desperate to start a war with America's biggest ally in Asia? This is simply an act that only a fool would do, but looking at the serious expression of the other party, it is even more serious than the Japanese military high-level when the United States did not declare war. Hosokawa frowned, expressing displeasure at Yanaev's threat. At least the humiliation of the Soviet Union made his patience reach a critical point.
"War is not an amicable solution to disputes, or it is the worst way to resolve disputes." Hosokawa licked his lips and tried to calm himself down, he had met so many slick politicians, but it was the first time he had seen such a crazy attempt come to an end. In the face of the simple and crude Soviet Union, the political methods of the past seemed to have lost their due effect.
"But war is the most direct way to settle disputes, otherwise do you think that we have gone from the tiny Muscovy to the vast Soviet Empire by political intimidation? Threats alone will not make a country obediently abandon its territory and sovereignty. "Yanayev is no longer patient with the United States, and if he fights with the United States, he will use all his intrigues and plots to match his allies in strength. Directly and naked.
"If Japan's intelligence agencies were more visible. It will be found that various medium- and long-range bombers of the USSR began to be deployed in the direction of Sakhalin and Komsomolskaya. Such an obvious strategic intent is to make us pierce this layer of paper. ”
This was Yanayev's last negotiating card, a military threat to get the Japanese prime minister to compromise. This has been tried and tested again and again for small East Asian countries.
Hearing Yanayev's seemingly unintentional but murderous threat, Hosokawa Gohei, who came to his senses before anger took over in the next moment, took a step back and expressed a goodwill reconciliation, "We are here to seek reconciliation and negotiation, not to quarrel. We deeply regret and apologize for the incident that occurred in the waters of the Pacific Ocean by a Soviet reconnaissance plane. ”
Instead of gambling on dignity to take risks. It's better to obediently admit and protect your own interests, doesn't the other party want to see yourself show weakness in front of him? However, Hosokawa underestimated the extent of Yanayev's revenge. He folded his arms and elbows on the table, and said to Hosokawa Gohei, "I hope that this sentence is not at today's secret negotiation table, but through the news media, so that the national audience will know the cause of this incident, and the innocent Japanese people will not think that this is our struggle against you." ”
Hosokawa Gohei's face was embarrassed, there was no problem sacrificing his dignity alone, but it was a bit expensive to gamble on the credibility of the entire Japanese government. As Hosokawa continued to remain silent, Yanayev asked another question. This is a headache for the Japanese government.
"If Japan can apologize sincerely. If we were to resume friendly and cooperative relations, the Soviet government would probably hand over to the Japanese government the house of Shigenobu, which was trying to obtain political asylum in the Soviet Union. At this moment, Yanayev threw the hot potato of the time bomb heavy letter house. As a gift to the Japanese government.
"What?" Japanese Prime Minister Hosokawa Gohei could hardly believe that such a good thing would be presented in front of him, and the Soviet government, the last leader of the Japanese Red Army, who had been wanted since 1970, was willing to give up his hands like this?
Of course, Yanayev also has conditions, for the Soviet Union they do not have much foreign exchange and wealth in their hands, but they can exchange wealth and foreign exchange for themselves as many bargaining chips.
"I used the house of heavy faith in exchange for economic cooperation and exchanges between the Soviet Union and Japan, especially in-depth exchanges in electronic computer technology." In order to break through the monopoly of high-tech electronic technology between the United States and the Soviet Union, Yanayev can be said to have made great efforts, and when they found that they could not open the gap from Europe for the time being, Yanayev set his sights on Japan's booming electronic computer technology. This is also the reason why Yanayev gave another sweet candy after slapping the other party.
When slapping, you should control the strength well, and the sweeter the candy you give, the better.
"Of course, there are no problems, and we also want to be able to develop economic exchanges with the Soviet Union." Hosokawa tried his best to show a calm expression, and the increasingly serious Japanese economic crisis is gradually fermenting, which may eventually lead to a social crisis. At this time, economic cooperation with the Soviet Union may be able to alleviate Japan's employment difficulties, which is simply a great thing to kill two birds with one stone, and Hosokawa Gohei's mood has literally returned from hell to heaven. But if Hosokawa Gohei is the person next to the general secretary of the Soviet Union, then he knows that the reputation of the leaders of this empire has been rotten to the bone in a certain aspect, but he has not used the credibility of the rotten to the bone to pit a large number of people.
"What about apologies?" Yanayev asked tentatively.
"The Japanese government, of course, will apologize publicly, and I myself apologized on television, and we are even willing to compensate the Soviet side for the losses." Hosokawa Gohei, who was in a good mood, said, "In this case, the Moscow side is already satisfied with my reply, isn't it?" ”
How could those poor fishermen, who were destined not to even have their names, become bargaining chips on the table compared to the house of heavy letters? The arrest of a female devil who has killed countless people is destined to extend Hosokawa Gohei's prime minister's career for several years. The leaders of the Red Army were as important to Japan as the United States was to bin Laden.
"Of course, we've always been generous with our new friends." Yanayev also made a sound of goodwill and reconciliation, but his heart was still sneering, in contrast to the kind expression.
It is as ridiculous to think that the Soviet Union will throw away the weight of the Shigenobu House to make a deal as if the Soviet Union would declare its own disintegration, and as a last card, if even the Shigenobu House is lost, then Japan may ignore the Soviet Union's warnings, and the cost of solving the problem will be even more high.
"Happy cooperation, Chairman Yanayev."
"Happy cooperation, Prime Minister Hosokawa Gohei." (To be continued.) )
