Chapter 99, the Nanjing Agreement

The negotiations continued very smoothly, Tojo Hideki's face was dark, like eating stool, there was no way, as long as they refuted, Lu Qiang said that he would open Yuhuatai and let them see the people who were slaughtered, and Lu Qiang also said that he had not mentioned that they would compensate them, and he had not said that he wanted Taiwan. Moreover, Lu Qiang also mentioned that they dropped incendiary bombs on Japan, they believed that the 41st Group Army had the ability to do this, and they had done it, but they had dropped ordinary bombs, if they really dropped incendiary bombs over Tokyo, it would be a great disaster for Japan, and Hideki Tojo did not dare to gamble with them.

In the end, Tojo Hideki and they made a compromise, except for the Japanese army in the northeast, all will be evacuated within half a month, and the Japanese army in the northeast will be evacuated within half a year, originally they wanted to say a year, but Lu Qiang disagreed, and pressed it to half a year.

The treaty was written in duplicate under the name of the Sino-Japanese Nanjing Peace Agreement, abbreviated as the Nanjing Agreement, and the official content was:

The first is that all Japanese military organizations, including secret services, should withdraw from China within half a month, except for Northeast China, and at the same time, no Chinese organization should interfere with the Japanese army and ensure the safe evacuation of the Japanese army.

Anyway, as long as the Japanese army withdraws from China, as for where to withdraw, it is none of Lu Qiang's business, as for the safety of the Japanese army, it depends on whether the Kuomintang is unconscious, and Lu Qiang does not care.

Article 2: The troops of the 41st Group Army shall not interfere with the Japanese troops in the northeast when they withdraw from the northeast, and the Japanese army shall also make way for the 41st Group Army and ensure the safe evacuation of the northeast.

Article 3: All Japanese troops in Northeast China must withdraw from Northeast China within half a year, and at that time, not a single Japanese army shall be left on Chinese soil, otherwise it will be regarded as a provocation and the agreement will be null and void.

Originally, the Japanese army wanted a year, but the bargaining was finally pressed to half a year, and the last sentence meant that the contract was about to be torn up and the war began.

Article 4: The Treaty of Shimonoseki between Japan and the former Qing Dynasty shall be null and void, all leased land except Taiwan shall be recovered, and Japanese merchants shall pay commercial taxes for trade in China, and shall be expelled from the country if there is any tax evasion or evasion.

Does the abrogation of the Treaty of Shimonoseki mean that all of Japan's privileges in China will be nullified, and will China no longer claim to be the suzerainty on the Korean issue? It's none of Lu Qiang's business, and he doesn't bother to care.

Article 5: The Taiwan Treaty will be re-signed, Taiwan will be leased to Japan for 50 years, and the Japanese side will use the warship construction technology as collateral, and at the same time, the Japanese side must guarantee the personal safety of the original residents of Taiwan, otherwise the Chinese side will have a reason to take back Taiwan.

After all, there is a strait in the middle, and Lu Qiang's navy is still in infancy for the time being, so he will let the Japanese army stay for a while longer. And when the navy matured, he did not hesitate to take back Taiwan, the treaty is only used to restrain the weak, and it is invalid for the strong (for details, please refer to the five hooligans), and the treaty is originally used to tear it, if you don't tear it, why sign it, at most you will find some reason to tear it.

Article 6: The Japanese side will deliver the cruisers Yakumo and Naka to the 41st Group Army as compensation.

Originally, Lu Qiang still wanted to ask for compensation, but Tojo Hideki jumped to get back Yakumo and Nake, how could Lu Qiang answer yes, besides, gold and silver were similar to dung to him, and in the end, he would take the two cruisers as compensation.

Article 7: The Japanese side releases all Chinese prisoners of war, comfort women, and civilians and guarantees that they will not be harmed. Similarly, the Chinese side released all Japanese prisoners of war and assured them that they would not be harmed.

Article 8: The 41st Group Army shall not launch any air raids on the Japanese mainland.

The Japanese army was very frightened of the planes of the 41 st Group Army, especially the bombers, which had a large range and a large bomb load, and if they really dropped incendiary bombs on Tokyo or some heavy industrial areas, the consequences would be very unbearable, and the Japanese side could hardly bear them.

Article 9: This Agreement shall come into force on the date of signing between the two parties, and both parties shall cease to operate on the same day.

March 28, 1940 (February 20, 29th year of the Republic of China).

Below is the signatures of both sides, the Japanese side took out a big seal and stamped it on it, as for Lu Qiang, he took out a gel pen, and left his name on it, so that the Nanjing Agreement came into effect.

"Uh-huh, that's good." Lu Qiang signed it, and shook it in the air with the treaty, not knowing whether to say that his handwriting was good or something else.

"Your Excellency, you have got your wish." Hideki Tojo smiled like an old fox.

"Well, don't worry, I'll go back and withdraw the troops from the Northeast, the cooperation is pleasant, I hope we can continue like this." After speaking, Lu Qiang took the treaty and took the people away.

Lu Qiang left with this agreement satisfied. After Lu Qiang left, Hideki Tojo's original smiling face instantly darkened, "Eight Grid Tooth Road!" Abominable Lu Qiang! The hateful 41st Group Army, all deserve to die. ”

Angry Hideki Tojo wanted to tear up the treaty, but reason told him that he couldn't, so he couldn't do it, just kicked the table hard, and then instantly turned blue and limped away.

The contents of the Nanking Agreement were reported in the afternoon of the same day, which immediately caused an uproar in the world, and Japan, which originally seemed extremely powerful to them, would actually agree to this treaty. It stands to reason that Japan occupies half of China, and there is absolutely no reason to sign this treaty, which does not benefit them at all, could it be that the 41st Group Army has reached some kind of unknown agreement with them? Some people with dark hearts are speculating, but for many more, this day is a day worth celebrating.

Whether it is the bald head of Chongqing, or the Taizu of Yan'an, they didn't expect Lu Qiang to come up with such a treaty, originally they thought that Lu Qiang would be enough as long as he didn't sign an agreement to lose the country and humiliate his power, but now it seems that it was completely unexpected by them, the Japanese army would actually withdraw from China, and even the Treaty of Shimonoseki was abolished, although the Northeast would be recovered half a year later, and Taiwan was still in the hands of Japan, but this was enough, it can be said that this is the most exciting treaty since the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and I don't know how much better than those treaties that lost the country and humiliated the country. It's completely beneficial to China.

The withdrawal of the Japanese army means that the three-year War of Resistance is over, and these three years are a darkness for the land of China, and now that the darkness has passed, will there be light?

What will happen to the Kuomintang/Communists after the withdrawal of Japanese troops, and will the war continue? Will Japan withdraw from Northeast China as promised, and where will Lu Qiang's 41st Group Army go? (To be continued.) )
