878 The ideal of destroying Japan

In the early morning of May 1, 1939, Guangzhou.

The spring rain is falling slowly, and this rain is a bit like the heavy rain that is common in Guangdong in summer, and it comes and falls heavily. In the blink of an eye, the entire city of Guangzhou was submerged in a rain curtain, looking at the past, the street was vast, dozens of meters away was already unable to see the human figure, everything seemed to be covered in this white, foggy rainstorm.

In a hall of Sun Yat-sen's former residence on Yuexiu Mountain, Luo Yaoguo sat in front of the window, staring at the heavy rain outside at Guangzhou City, his eyes were far away, as if he wanted to see the future of China and the world through this vast expanse.

There was a whistling wind outside the window, and the sound of the glass window vibrating under the disturbance of the strong wind, and it seemed that there was a feeling of excitement in my ears. Isn't an old world falling apart under a stormy earthquake?

Luo Yaoguo came to Guangdong by plane two days ago to see off the Australian Front Command. Ellswart and his command will be in Singapore to direct the invasion of Australia. Along with this command, there was also the South Sea Fleet, which included 9 aircraft carriers, 5 heavy cruisers, and a huge fleet of more than 250 transport ships, as well as an army group and a marine division on these transport ships, nearly 200,000 troops!

After sending off the army, as soon as he returned to Guangzhou City, he encountered this heavy rain, which trapped Luo Yaoguo and his party here. Looking at the wind and rain outside, Luo Yaoguo suddenly had a very strange thought, history has changed a lot, and the only thing that will not change because of himself is probably only this wind and rain, right? And I don't know anything about the weather in 1939, which is the only constant in 1939, so what else do I know?

A soft voice sounded in Luo Yaoguo's ears: "Fuwen, the coffee is ready, you can taste it." ”

Luo Yaoguo seemed to be disturbed by his own thoughts, turned his head suddenly, and then smiled, took a coffee cup handed by a pair of jade hands, took a shallow sip, and praised: "Of course, the coffee brewed by my Natalie is the most fragrant in the world." ”

Natalie smiled: "This coffee is instant coffee that has just been put on the market by Nestle in Switzerland, I just take boiling water and brew it, how can it become the most fragrant in the world?" ”

Luo Yaoguo was stunned when he heard this, hurriedly picked up the coffee cup and tasted it again, smacking his lips and muttering: "Sure enough, it's Nescafe, the taste hasn't changed at all, it hasn't changed...... It's just that times have changed! Speaking of this, his eyes were a little distant, as if he was not looking at Natalie, but at somewhere in the distance.

Natalie didn't know where to take out a large stack of telegrams, waved at Luo Yaoguo, and said with a smile: "My chief of staff, don't talk about it, but there is a big mess waiting for you to cook!" ”

Luo Yaoguo smiled, put down the coffee cup, reached out to stop Natalie's slender waist, hugged her into his arms, and took a sip of incense on her smooth and pretty face: "Say it quickly, my beauty, what national affairs are waiting for me to cook?" When the cooking is over, let's have a good relationship......"

Natalie sneered, "We're all a lot older, and we're still as anxious as a hairy boy." But after all, this woman's soft body was motionless and snuggled in Luo Yaoguo's arms, only a pair of jade hands pinched a stack of telegrams, and read in a low voice: "Chapter 872 Regiment Report: Berlin time, from 6:30 a.m. yesterday to about 2 a.m. today, the Sino-German coalition forces in Belgium. A tank Armageddon with the Anglo-French forces in the Brou area. The two sides invested nearly 4,500 tanks and artillery pieces, nearly 2,000 artillery pieces, nearly 250,000 officers and soldiers, and more than 1,800 aircraft. In this battle, our army fought side by side with the German allies, worked closely together, and won an overwhelming victory. A total of 1,855 tanks and 1,038 artillery pieces were destroyed and captured. 26,890 officers and soldiers below Major General de Gaulle, 40,369 prisoners......"

Luo Yaoguo stretched out his hand to stop Natalie's words: "Okay, I know about this, go back and ask Huang Guyu to report the list of meritorious personnel, who should be promoted, and who should be given a medal...... By the way, who did you just say you killed? ”

"It's Charles. Major General de Gaulle. Natalie replied in a low voice.

"I didn't expect it to be him." Luo Yaoguo frowned slightly, leaned back in his chair, and muttered: "He is a character, I didn't expect him to die like this...... It's a pity, it's a pity, Hitler is in trouble again......"

At this point, he shut his mouth again, half-squinting his eyes, and waited for the woman in his arms to continue to read the message to him. Natalie didn't understand Luo Yaoguo's words, but she didn't talk much, just smiled, changed the telegram, and said with a smile: "This is Wu Mouxian (Wu Tuohao)'s telegram, he recently heard a news, Mussolini seems to be mediating between Britain, France and Germany, wanting to reach a peace agreement, and ...... Hitler seems to have been a little tempted! ”

"There is such a thing...... Luo Yaoguo's face changed slightly, and he asked in a low voice: "Do you know the specific conditions?" ”

Natalie nodded slightly, changed another telegram, and said: "This is a telegram from the Russian Empress Anastasia, she has many friends in the circle of European royalty, and she is very well-informed. She received some information from the King of Italy, who was also involved in the mediation (in fact, Mussolini tested Luo Yaoguo's attitude through the Empress of Russia), and Mussolini, after secret communication with Hitler, proposed a peace agreement in which Britain would give up all its colonies except for the Dominions of Canada, the eastern Dominions of Australia, the Dominions of New Zealand, the Dominions of South Africa, and the British islands in the Atlantic. And there are also large reparations to be paid in exchange for peace.

The colonies abandoned by Britain will be divided between China, Japan and Germany, including all British colonies in Southeast Asia; Ceylon, Maldives and Andaman Islands in the Indian Ocean; Palestine (Iraq and Saudi Arabia are theoretically independent states), Kuwait, the Sultanate of Muscat, the Imam of Oman, South Yemen and other countries in the Middle East; The Dominion of Australia to the west of 130 degrees east longitude is owned by China.

Germany could receive all the British African colonies except the Dominion of South Africa; Jordan, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Qatar and other nine emirates in the Middle East, and Gibraltar in Europe.

Japan has access to the Bismarck Islands, the Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea, Nauru, Fiji, Vanuatu (British-French condominium), and other places.

In addition, Britain also needs to use South Africa's gold mines as collateral to pay reparations to China, Japan and Germany, of which China and Germany can each get 2,000 tons of gold, and Japan can get 100 tons of gold. China can also reclaim all artifacts that have been lost from China in the British Museum.

Finally, after receiving all the colonies ceded by Britain, China, Japan, and Germany had to pledge in writing that they would not invade Britain's remaining colonies, nor would they invade Britain proper. Britain, on the other hand, pledged to remain neutral in the event of future wars between China, Japan, and Germany and other countries.

France, on the other hand, had to give up all its African and Asian colonies, French North Africa, French West Africa, Madagascar, and French Morocco to Germany, and French Indochina to China. Ceded Alsace and Lorraine to Germany. Compensation of 1,500 tons of gold to China, the return of cultural relics, and the compensation of 5,000 tons of gold to Germany (including the return of German reparations in World War I). Among them, 1,500 tons of gold to compensate China were paid immediately, and the gold to compensate Germany needed to be repaid in 10 years with the French fleet as collateral. In addition, there was a secret treaty between Germany, France, and Italy...... It's not clear, but it's certainly not aimed at China.

Belgium and the Netherlands also need to sign peace treaties with China, Japan and Germany. Belgium paid 100 tons of gold to China, 500 tons to Germany, and the Netherlands ceded Sumatra and South Borneo to China, and the rest of Lanyin to Japan. Germany, for its part, renounced its right to claim reparations from the Netherlands (relations between the Netherlands and Germany had always been good, and the former German emperor had taken refuge in the Netherlands, so Hitler looked at Wilhelm II without looking at the monks), and the Netherlands did not have to pay reparations to China and Japan. ”

Natalie turned her head after reading this, staring at Luo Yaoguo with a pair of bright eyes, smiling silently, as if waiting for him to cheer for victory. Luo Yaoguo naturally understood this woman's thoughts, in the eyes of most people, China's gains in this armistice treaty can be described as extremely rich, not only can it get the ownership of all the territories it has occupied, but also get the French Indochina and half of Australia and part of the Middle East territories that have not yet been occupied...... In addition, a total of 3,600 tons of gold can be claimed from Britain, France and Belgium! It can be said that he became rich overnight. But Natalie waited for a long time, and she didn't see Luo Yaoguo cheering, but gradually twisted her eyebrows, as if she had encountered some difficult problem.

Natalie looked at Luo Yaoguo quietly for a while, and asked softly, "Fuwen, are you dissatisfied with these conditions?" ”

Luo Yaoguo smiled bitterly, pointed to his head and said: "I'm not satisfied with what's the use, I'm afraid these conditions have exceeded the price in the hearts of people in the world." If this news is announced, it will be 100% for the whole country to rejoice! His tone was a little ridiculous, "Our Chinese are used to suffering hardships and poverty, and suddenly we got such a large piece of real estate and more than 3,000 tons of gold...... Up and down still not happy? Moreover, our finances have borne such a large amount of military expenditure in the past two years, and the newly seized colonies have to invest a large amount of money to resettle immigrants, and the land reform in the country will continue, and these are all large sums of money going out...... Moreover, our fiat currency is also a little unstable during this time, and inflation has begun to rise, so it is not possible to rely on printing money. Therefore, these 3,600 tons of gold are very important to our domestic economy, and when the economy is stable, we can stabilize internally, and I will be able to continue to deal with external threats. Therefore, Mussolini's conditions will be supported by the majority of the people, and I must support them. Otherwise, I will definitely be scolded by the people as a reckless soldier! ”

"Such good conditions are not met...... It's a bit of a reckless force. Natalie muttered. But will the Japanese settle for a New Guinea island and a bunch of tiny islands in the Pacific Ocean? ”

Natalie's voice was very soft, but Luo Yaoguo could hear it clearly, he twisted Natalie's face, and said with a light smile: "My beauty is really Bingxue smart, and in the peace plan proposed by Mussolini, the interests of China and Germany are finally taken care of...... But Japan has lost a lot, and I don't believe that a small New Guinea can satisfy the appetite of little Japan! So this wicked man who seized Eastern Australia has Japan to do it! ”

"Are we going to say yes, then?" Natalie asked, hesitating. "What if I resign myself to fate and don't want Eastern Australia anymore?"

Luo Yaoguo smiled: "If Little Japan is so good at accepting their fate, where will they have today's situation?" And this time Britain has been defeated to such an extent, where is the strength to defend Eastern Australia? It would be easy to capture it with Japanese military power...... And Germany is still looking forward to uniting with Japan to deal with the United States, and will not turn against them because of this matter. If Japan has any concerns about seizing Eastern Australia, it's China! But if we agree to Mussolini's peace plan, we will also relieve the Japanese in disguise, at least in their opinion, then they will invade even more! ”

"But if we take Eastern Australia from Japan in the future, we will be able to gain domestic support? People won't say that you are reckless? Natalie frowned and looked at Luo Yaoguo.

Luo Yaoguo smiled coldly: "At that time, it is not that we want to seize Eastern Australia, but Japan wants to seize Western Australia, we have to defend ourselves and counterattack, and by the way, we will defeat Eastern Australia, the Philippines, North Korea, Okinawa, Papua New Guinea, Lanyin, and Japan itself!" As for the country...... With the indemnity of 3,600 tons of gold, the economy and currency can be stabilized, and the lives of the common people can be better, so I am afraid that some people will say something different? ”

Natalie showed a rare sympathetic look and sighed softly, "Those Japanese are really pitiful, when they meet such a bad neighbor as you, they are about to lose their country, and they don't know ...... yet"

Luo Yaoguo laughed: "I love to hear this, the destruction of Japan is the biggest ideal in my life (I didn't have this kind of thought in my previous life), and it must be realized!" ”

Just when Luo Yaoguo was smiling wickedly, thinking about the conspiracy to destroy Japan in his mind, the phone on the table suddenly rang. Natalie stretched out her hand to take the phone and asked, it turned out to be Foreign Minister Wang Jingwei hanging up from Wuhan for a long distance.

"Hey, Brother Zhaoming? I'm Luo Yaoguo. Luo Yaoguo took the microphone and said with a smile: "What's the trouble for you, the foreign minister, to hang up the phone for me personally?" ”

"O Assistant, it is so, our Ministry of Foreign Affairs has just received a note from the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Italy, saying that Mr. Mussolini, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Italy, intends to mediate the war between China, Japan, Germany, Russia and Britain, France, Belgium and the Netherlands. Mussolini wants to hold a peace conference in Rome and invite you and me to go together, and the president asks me to come directly to ask for your opinion, do you think we have to agree? On the other end of the phone was the voice of Foreign Minister Wang Jingwei, who had received a formal request from the Italian side to mediate the war. Moreover, Luo Yaoguo was invited to Rome to attend the peace conference.

"The Rome Peace Conference, I'm afraid it's not that simple!" Luo Yaoguo muttered in his heart, his eyebrows twisted slightly. Although he is the de facto controller of the Chinese regime, he does not have the name of the president, but only the chief of the general staff. This peace meeting should be supposed to be the head of government or the foreign minister, where is the reason to ask the chief of the general staff to participate? Behind this, I am afraid that Hitler wanted to pull China together to attack the United States! Thinking of this, Luo Yaoguo replied: "Brother Zhaoming, I am not suitable to participate in the Rome Peace Conference, after all, I am a chief of general staff, and the Peace Conference or something, it is still led by Brother Zhaoming." ”

"Should we suspend our military operations in Western Australia? Maybe we can negotiate to take that piece of land," said Wang Jingwei on the other side of the telephone line.

"No, no need to pause." Luo Yaoguo said categorically: "This negotiation will not start so quickly, I estimate that Hitler will not cease fire soon, he will consider a ceasefire after occupying Paris, so we don't have to stop, no matter what, land in Western Australia first, so that your Ministry of Foreign Affairs can have more bargaining chips." ”

"Assistant, there's one more thing." Wang Jingwei on the other end of the phone paused for a moment, as if he was considering the words. "In the past two days there have been two Indias, one of which is the Socialist Union Republic of India...... Looks like we're backing it, right? There is also a Muslim coalition army that also took Islamabad a few days ago, and it is said that it is also our people. Moreover, our Ministry of Foreign Affairs received an instruction from the President a few days ago to start negotiations with the Republic of India on an armistice and the establishment of diplomatic relations...... What the hell is going on? Who exactly are we supporting in India? ”

"This problem?" Luo Yaoguo sneered twice and replied, "Actually, none of us support it!" Our policy in India is, first, to recognize money but not people; the second is to divide India into civil strife; The third is that the national government is not directly involved. Therefore, the armistice negotiations with the Republic of India can continue.

The condition is that India must recognize the north bank of the Brahmaplat River as Chinese territory. Renounce territorial claims to Ceylon, Maldives and the Andaman Islands. The Anglo-Indian troops stationed in French Indochina were ordered to lay down their arms. and compensate for the military expenses incurred by China as a result of the declaration of war on China...... Uh, just lose 300 tons of gold, that's the floor price, you know. If the Government of the Republic of India agrees to these conditions, we can lift the blockade and sell weapons and equipment to them. ”
