Section 312 Disarmament
"Compared to the Russians, this is a real ninja. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Although Yang Chao is not very clear about the situation in Japan, he has also heard a little, he has starved to death, and has not yet collapsed, and the endurance of the Japanese is much stronger than that of the Russians.
But the Japanese finally agreed, Hirohito is still the same Hirohito, is he still very acquainted.
Then it suddenly came out that the Japanese were infighting, and Yamaguchi Aritomo was hijacked by the navy, and then under the auspices of Yamamoto Gonbei, Okuma Shigenobu and others, Emperor Taisho issued an edict to abdicate, and Hirohito succeeded to the throne, immediately announcing that he would stop the war and restore order, and his declaration was unanimously supported by everyone from the chaebol to the poor, and even the army supported it, and there was not much change.
And Yamaguchi Yutomo was released after a secret meeting with Shigenobu Okuma and others.
After his release, Aritomo Yama announced his support for Emperor Hirohito and handed over the power of the army to Higashifushiminomiya, after which he suddenly became seppuku in his own home.
Japan's news still attracted some attention around the world, and the main reason for their concern was that China had won, and they didn't know what China would do next.
"First, Japan must dismantle its navy and hand over all its warships to China; Second, the Japanese Army must be reorganized, tried for war criminals, and the number of troops cannot exceed 100,000; Third, China will station its navy in Sasebo and Yokosuka in Japan, and 100,000 troops in Tokyo. ”
Lu Zhengxiang listened to Yang Chao's request for an armistice, and broke out in a cold sweat, he felt that this was not to negotiate with Japan, but to fight Japan to the end.
"You know, our bottom line is that Japan must disarm, and it's not bad to be a permanent neutral country, like Switzerland, tell the Japanese that if they are willing to disarm and become a permanent neutral country, I can join Britain, the United States, Germany, France and other countries to jointly guarantee their neutral status; But all Japanese military forces that threaten China must be lifted, whether military or military-industrial. ”
Yang Chao continued.
"Well, by the way, their shipbuilding industry is also threatened, and if there is a shipbuilding industry, it is inevitable that they want to build a navy."
Yang Chao said that he deprived the shipbuilding industry that had been built hard in the decades of the Meiji Restoration of the right to exist.
"Will the Japanese say yes?"
"They will. When there were friends in Shanxian County, they still had options, now, what else could they do besides surrender? ”
Yang Chao said with a smile.
Although it is a bit humiliating to have the troops of other countries stationed in the capital, Yang Chao is very optimistic that Japan can endure it.
Negotiations began.
Sure enough, Lu Zhengxiang's request made the Japanese negotiators very angry, so angry that they almost gave up the negotiations, but just almost, they were not qualified to give up, and they could only fight patiently one by one.
"Arsenal? What are they keeping for? Make pistols for the police? ”
The Japanese said that the naval plant could be dismantled, but they needed factories for the production of light weapons.
"This can be promised to them."
"Shipyards? Be sure to dismantle! This is not negotiable. ”
Anything that touches the navy cannot be allowed, this is Yang Chao's bottom line.
Negotiations continued, and the Japanese fought for each other and made concessions one by one.
They accepted the lease of the military ports of Sasebo and Yokosuka to the Chinese Navy as military bases, they promised to withdraw their troops from Korea, return Taiwan to China intact, promised the restoration of the Ryukyus, and they won China's promise of the main territorial integrity of Japan, which would keep the four main islands, but the Koreans demanded the cession of Tsushima.
At this time, the Russians also jumped out, and Stolypin personally came to Beijing to protest to the Chinese government, saying that he would not accept China to negotiate peace with Japan alone, and that Russia would not recognize any agreement reached that harmed Russia's interests.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs ignored them, comforted him with kind words and sent him away.
Stolypin asked to see Princess Olga in the Summer Palace, and implored the princess to fight for the interests of Russia, although the wedding was interrupted, she and Yang Chao were not husband and wife at this time, but Yang Chao had openly lived in the Summer Palace, and the big bed rolled I don't know how many times, and no one dared to say anything.
Olga mentioned it to Yang Chao, and Yang Chao just fooled her and said that she would not harm the interests of the Russian allies, but everyone knew that Yang Chao planned to learn from Japan and take all the benefits.
The Japanese did not dare to negotiate with the Russians, they refused any diplomatic exchanges with Russia, and they were bored to negotiate with China.
They won China's recognition of their sovereignty over the four mainland islands, but vetoed their claim to the Ogasawara Islands, and at this point Japan's territory was basically determined, with Hokkaido in the north, Tsushima Island in the west, the Mariana Trench in the east, and the Tugara Islands in the south.
Japan has largely retained their former main territory, but has also been stripped of all strategic offshore territories, such as the Kuril Islands, which include Japan's four northern islands. It also ceded Takeshima to North Korea, which set off a crazy celebration in North Korea.
"Mitsubishi is active?"
Yang Chao insisted on directing Japan's shipbuilding industry, and the biggest losses were the Mitsubishi, Mitsui and other chaebols.
After the Meiji Restoration in Japan, the shipbuilding industry attaches great importance to the long-term subsidy for the shipping industry and the shipbuilding industry, during the First World War, their shipbuilding capacity reached an annual output of 500,000 tons, ranking third in the world, but due to Yang Chao's bombing losses are not small, but this does not affect anything, the bombing is the plant, a lot of equipment can still be used, even if there is no equipment, the talent is still there, this is the most important thing.
"It's not just Mitsubishi, it's Kawasaki."
Politically helpless, the Japanese began an off-the-counter lobbying campaign in which these chaebols brandished money and tried to bribe Chinese MPs in the hope that they would come up with bills to protect them.
The person who told Yang Chao the news was Meng Luochuan, a member of the Shandong National Assembly and the target of the Japanese lobbying.
"You go tell the Japanese. The shipyard had to be dismantled, but I allowed them to move it to China. That's the bottom line, if they still want to make money, they have to come to China to run the shipbuilding industry. I can even give them a loan to get the factory back up and running as quickly as possible. Otherwise it must be dismantled. ”
Japan's shipbuilding industry is still very delicious and delicious, especially the talents that Japan has cultivated for 30 years, not only technical ability, but also a sense of responsibility.
In 1913, the steam turbine of the Hazuna battleship built at the Kawasaki Shipyard in Japan failed, although the failure was not large, and it could be repaired within 6 days.
At that time, Kawasaki was competing with Mitsubishi's Nagasaki shipyard, and both sides were building a battleship and constructing it at the same time, and the two factories had a sense of competition, from workers to technicians.
This kind of loyalty of the Japanese to the enterprise is easily reminiscent of the loyalty of the samurai to the daimyo, and the relationship between the factory and the workers is also like the continuation of the past lord to the retainers, so if you want to use the Japanese group of technicians, Yang Chao must win over the Japanese chaebol.
A chaebol under its own control is not a bad thing and can be a tool for controlling Japan.
"By the way, you can tell them that to invest in China, you must accept a joint venture, and at least 40 percent of the shares will be sold."
Yang Chao added. (To be continued.) )
