Chapter 815 Trade embargo with Japan

Ni Hua's speech in the Senate was successful, although it was a success? History of Soong Meiling in 1943 in the United States? Compared with the Senate speech, Ni Hua's speech was less literary and less rigorous, but it had more deafening things, which was exactly what President Roosevelt needed most at the moment. Therefore, after the speech, it really responded to the old saying that "the world knows about it overnight". There was a burst of Ni Hua fever in the world.

U.S. politics? The government opened the door to Ni Hua, and even the War Department and the Navy Department sent invitations, hoping that Dr. Ni Hua would come to visit, in order to learn more about the situation of the Japanese army from Ni Hua. Send it to Jiang with Hu Shi? Seashell? The words on the stone telegram said: "Ni Hua has brought about a turning point in Sino-US diplomacy, and the situation is very good."

Hu Shih is justified in saying this, you must know that the United States is still an isolated master at this time? Righteousness and Peace? Although Roosevelt had long been clear that Japan regarded the United States as an imaginary enemy and Germany made frequent moves in Europe, wanting to expand the power of the United States and deal with the crisis? machine, but the pace is difficult, and it is controlled everywhere. And in the middle? Looking forward to the United States joining China? The war situation and aid in Japan are like a rain, not to mention letting the United States directly join the war, as long as the United States can really stand in the middle? On the one hand, the embargo against Japan is not only the role of a few first-class divisions? From just a simple example, it can be seen that in 1937 the United States out? The value of the aircraft sold to Japan was in US dollars, while in practice. Road? In 1938, the value of aircraft sold by the United States to Japan increased to dollars. What does this say about U.S. politics? The way of the government's call? The righteous embargo simply doesn't work.

Because of Ni Hua's strong propaganda? With the cooperation of the Japanese army, the attitude of the United States has quietly changed.

The cooperation of the Japanese army was mainly due to the conflict with the Japanese army and Britain and the United States on the issue of concessions. Suddenly.

This little Japan is that virtue, the army has the plan of the army, and the navy has the goal of the navy. Even within the army, it was divided into the northward and southern. And everyone believed that their own strategy was in the best interests of Greater Japan, and under this banner, the forces within the Japanese army went their own way.

Under normal circumstances, the Kwantung Army and the Soviet Army were facing off at Nomenhan, and the Japanese army should concentrate on ensuring victory in the battle. Like the Soviet Red Army, that is, with all its might, the commanders of the reserve arms personally inspected the front line. This is not the case with the Japanese army, the Kwantung Army fought the Kwantung Army, the North China Front Army fought the North China Front, and even the Japanese army in South China was stupid? Stupid? Desire? move, ready to launch a new offensive operation.

This is not to say that the Japanese army is really in chaos, the main reason is that the Japanese army has not really determined the strategic direction and is still eliminating Chiang? Seashell? Shi Zheng? The three forks of the road hovering at the intersection of attacking the Soviet Union in the north and Britain and the United States in the south. Once the Japanese army has determined a clear strategic direction, there will be no such significant mess.

This situation is reflected in foreign relations, and there are also big problems. As for relations with Britain and the United States, the pro-British and American factions believe that Japan mainly depends on the United States for its strategic resources, and that it should put a good relationship with Britain and the United States in the first place in its foreign relations. But advocating the establishment of a new Japanese-Manchurian system? The mainstream consciousness of the department believed that Japan's fundamental strategy was to completely drive the British, American, and Soviet forces out of East Asia, and that only by driving the British, American, and Soviet forces out of East Asia could Chiang be cut off. Seashell? Shi Zheng? The foreign aid channel of the government urged it to surrender as soon as possible.

It was this guiding ideology that led to the constant clashes between the Japanese army and the British Concession. Suddenly. The most generational? Is the surface of Tianjin? Item.

This Tianjin, since the Eighth Route Army captured it, Japanese-funded enterprises and Japanese-funded financial entities? The Department and the Japanese Concession were all cleaned up by the Eighth Route Army. After the retreat of the Eighth Route Army, General Terauchi Shouyi, commander of the North China Front, went to Tianjin and his eyes were about to drip blood. Pseudo-Tianjin Municipal Government? The head of the house is basically the town? Pressed, the assets of the Japanese puppet have been wiped out by the Eighth Route Army, Japanese-funded enterprises, overseas Chinese? The leading figures of the people are basically the Eighth Route Army? The trial was shot, and what was left for Shouichi Terauchi was a group of screaming poor bastards? People, the whole of today's Tianjin economy has regressed by two? Ten? Year.

That's not all, the Eighth Route Army was too ruthless, and at the same time as announcing the resumption of the Japanese Concession, it even went so far as to publicly auction the right to use the houses and land in the Japanese Concession, and sold all the huge today's Concession to foreigners in the British Concession, the Concession, and the Italian Concession. In this way, even if the Japanese army took back Tianjin, if they wanted to return the land and houses in the Japanese concession, they would have to negotiate with Britain and Italy. Delivered? Lawsuit.

After returning to Beiping, Terauchi Shouichi instructed Wang Kemin to restore Tianjin's economy. This Wang Kemin is really a bit of a geek, tossing and turning, snatching openly and secretly, issuing public bonds, increasing taxes, and grouping? Weaving donations, putting hundreds of people in Beiping and Tianjin? The surname is good and looted, and he really scraped together a lot of funds, and began to support the establishment of Japanese pseudo enterprises.

The Japanese puppet wants to develop Tianjin's industry and commerce, put gold on his face, and no matter how much he loots and raises money, the capital hole is always getting bigger and bigger. At this time, the Japanese puppets set their sights on the British and Italian concessions in Tianjin. Because when the Eighth Route Army captured Tianjin, considering international relations, it did not enter other countries? The family concessions mean that these concessions have not been affected in the slightest. There is also a very crucial factor, that is, the British Concession allows the circulation of currency and prohibits the circulation of Japanese counterfeit joint bonds. CDB? Lines, Communications? There were 45 million taels of silver stored in the British Concession.

The reason why the Japanese troops in the Italian concession did not move for the time being is that they are now fighting with Germany and Italy? Heat, will not easily self-destruct the Great Wall. There are no scruples between the country and the United Kingdom, these two countries? Home in Europe and Germany and Italy, how can the Japanese be polite to them.

Calendar? What happened in Tianjin? The fuse of the piece was that the Japanese army thought that the British Concession was sheltering ** points? Now, this reason has become an excuse for the Japanese to find money and recover the land and real estate in the Japanese concession. The British Tianjin Concession Bureau did not know what to do, thinking that Britain and Japan had a traditional friendship, and simply ignored the Japanese army. Shake hands and play dedication. As a result, on December 25, 138, the Japanese army began to set up outposts in the British Concession. Check the pedestrians, and mobilize the other countries of the British Concession? The residents of the house were evacuated to the city.

Taking action against the British Concession was an order from Yamashita Fengwen, chief of staff of the North China Front. There is a set of money. In the previous chapter, when he was introduced, it was said that he was in court? When he was stationed, he took a fancy to the wealth of his family, so he simply made it? created a headless case and killed the family from childhood to old age.

Now I'm listening? CDB? Lines, Communications? There were 45 million taels of silver in the reserves of coins issued in North China hidden in the British Concession, and the limit was green, and he directly ordered that there should be no mercy on the British until they handed over the money, forbade the circulation of the currency in the concession, and allowed the circulation of joint bills in the concession.

But Britain and Japan are not hostile countries after all, and no matter how much the Japanese puppet does, they can't just tear up with Britain like this? Broken face, things have been deadlocked. The British could not lower their arrogant heads, and the Japanese did not dare to openly enter the concession to rob it.

On the 1st, the new pseudo-Tianjin Hai? Prison? Governor and pseudo-joint preparation of silver? Cheng Xigeng, manager of the Tianjin branch of the bank, was made bright by the iron-blooded ** group in the British Concession? Bright cinema dark? Kill? Killed. Now the Japanese pseudo has finally caught the handle, pseudo-generation? The next day, the mayor of Li, Wen Shizhen, sent a letter to the British Consul General, Pan Lena, proposing to resist the protests. Requesting the British Consul to order the extradition of the British Concession Bureau in Tianjin? The murderer, and proposed that the Japanese side enter the British Concession to search? Investigate the murderer's request.

This time, the British Concession Bureau of the Ministry of Industry compromised and allowed the Japanese gendarmerie to enter the Lend-Lease to assist in solving the case and extradite the criminals.

As a result, the four heroes didn't have time to transfer and were caught? Catch. On the next issue of extradition, British Consul General Pan Lena was arrested for being in. Pressure on the part of the state and the preservation of the Britannica? The prestige of the country? right, adopt a non-cooperative attitude to deal with the Japanese army. One time he said that the ambassador was not there, and the other time he said that there were suspicious points in the interrogation of the Japanese military police, which completely aroused the anger of the Japanese puppet army. The commander of the Japanese garrison in Tianjin declared that "the British Concession is the first communist? Production? Ziyin? The source of the activity, for all kinds of violence? A refuge of force action, shelter from the dark? The killing of criminals was an indirect hostile act against the Japanese army and a challenge to the construction of a new order in Toyo. On June 14, the Japanese army isolated the proclamation and statement of the British Concession, and immediately sent troops to ? Team seal? Lock the British Concession for external traffic.

Tianjin? The incident was very big, and the Japanese army wanted to win public opinion? Theory, or group? Weaving a tour? Demonstrated? Wei activities. It was only at this time that the British Consul General in Tianjin, Pan Lena, understood the true intentions of the Japanese army, and personally went to the headquarters of the Japanese garrison in Tianjin to explain to the Japanese commander. CDB? Lines, Communications? Lines of storage in the British Concession of four seven? Five million taels of silver have been taught by the Eighth Route Army? The mentor took it away. But where will the Japanese army believe and seal it wholeheartedly? Lock up the British Concession and wait for the British to bow their heads.

Communications Silver? Row, medium? CDB? The silver deposited in the British Concession was indeed taken away by the Eighth Route Army, considering that it was a period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and the amount of silver was particularly huge, and the British would definitely inform the Communications Bank? Row, medium? CDB? Okay, when Liu Yimin evacuated Tianjin, he ordered the Eighth Route Army Air Force to be transported to Xi'an. Later, in ? Taking into account the need for unity in the war of resistance, the silver was transferred to China? CDB? Lines, Communications? line, which is used for the construction of stable coins and large rear military projects and the relief of disaster victims. Middle? CDB? Lines, Communications? Out of gratitude, the bank opened a branch in Xi'an.

Japanese arrested? What about living in Tianjin? Piece of fuss, on top? Hai, Wuhan, Xiamen, and Guangzhou attacked the British and American concessions at the same time, which means that they want to force? Forcing the British and American forces to withdraw? Country.

At this time, Britain was concentrating on dealing with the situation in Europe, and could not afford to take care of the eastern front, so it had to negotiate with Japan. So, after several rounds of negotiations between Japanese Foreign Minister Hachiro Arita and British Ambassador to Japan Kleckie, on July 22, that is, Ni Hua was in the United States? The day before the Senate speech, the Arita Kleki Agreement was formed.

In this agreement, the British government? Does the government recognize Japan in China? Country Town? There are "special needs" in the pressure activities, and cooperation with Japan in the areas of security and economy is pledged. Equivalent to a British betrayal? National interests, compromise agreement with Japan.

As soon as the "Arita Kleqi Agreement" was announced, it caused a strong shock. Middle? Guo Taiqi, the Chinese ambassador to the UK, was instructed to report to the British government. The agreement ignores two basic facts. First, what is the negotiation involving? Territory, Lord? rights and interests, but not invited? National politics? government participation; Second, should the Japanese army have no rights in any land it occupies as a result of its aggression? Sharp.

As soon as there was a noticeable turn in diplomacy with the United States, there was a danger that Britain would compromise with Japan. Chiang? Seashell? Hu Shih, Ishi's ambassador to the United States, informed Ni Hua that no matter what measures are taken, he must persuade the US government. The government made it clear that it would stop Britain from compromising with Japan and sanction Japan.

When Hu Shi found Ni Hua with sweat, Ni Hua was visiting the War Department accompanied by General Marshall. As soon as he heard what Hu Shi said, Ni Huaden became anxious, turned around and said to General Marshall: "General, after two days of pick-up? I think you are a righteous person who deserves our respect. My lover, General Liu Yimin, told me that General Marshall was a trustworthy person. He said that he has been fond of you for a long time, and he hopes to have a drink with you when he has the opportunity in the future. My husband also told me that I came to the United States and that if I had trouble with security or other things, I could go directly to you and that I would help me. ”

Ni Hua is smart, Liu Yimin did tell him that General Marshall has a greater sense of justice and should soon succeed MacArthur as Chief of Staff of the Army, but he didn't say that it would be difficult for her to find Marshall. Now that things are urgent, Ni Hua had an idea, so he borrowed the slope to get off the donkey and put a high hat on Marshall's head.

Marshall can't think of playing small? Ghost? Son crying dad called mother? National biography? The strange hero Liu Yimin would think so highly of him that he provoked the hero's feelings for a while, telling her that she should urgently meet with Cordell, Secretary of State Hull, and preferably President Roosevelt in person.

Hu Shih said that Secretary of State Hull's appointment today is full and cannot be arranged.

Marshall looked at Ni Hua, who looked expectant, and Hu Shi, who looked depressed, and went to the office to call Hull in person? Anyway, he said that the War Department had an emergency to meet with His Excellency the Secretary of State, and he would go now. Put down the electricity? Words, Marshall took Ni Hua and Hu Shi out of the office, got in the car and went straight to China? Business? Courtyard.

Hull already knows the contents of the "Arita Ichikki Agreement", but he has a lot of things to do today, and he has not yet thought about countermeasures in detail.

When Marshall broke into Hull's office with Ni Hua and Hu Shih, Hull was talking to Matsuzo Nagai, Japan's ambassador to the United States.

The Japanese have indeed put a lot of effort into their relations with the United States.

Nagai Matsuzo came today, one is to resist? Discussing U.S. politics? The government let Ni Hua be in the country? Will the Senate speak, blatantly incite? Hatred is emotional. The second is to reaffirm the traditional friendship between Japan and the United States, and clarify the political situation between His Majesty the Emperor and Japan. The government attaches great importance to Japan-US relations and guarantees that Japan will never do anything that harms US interests.

Matsuzo Nagai? Is it worthy of being an old brand? Delivered? Official, after the diplomatic rhetoric is finished, start moving? Affectionately recalling that it was the United States that made Japan change its closed country? Jianmeng thought about it, began the Meiji Restoration, and embarked on the road of enriching the country and strengthening the army. Nagai Matsuzo even said that from the emperor to the empress, the Japanese people admired the United States of America very much and were eager to study and work in the United States. Now, Japan and the United States do not have a fundamental interest in the rush? Suddenly, there is only a common enemy, that is, the common? Owner? Righteousness. Is Japan willing to act as a partner of the United States in Asia and jointly contain the Communists? Owner? Righteous Soviet Union. At this moment, Marshall, with Ni Hua and Hu Shi, knocked on the door of Hull's office.
