Throughout the talks, Japanese Foreign Minister Matsuoka assured that Japan would be ready to attack the Soviet Union only if the Soviet Union and the United States saw Japan as their common enemy and cooperated with each other. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info He also said that he did not want Japan to attack the USSR together with Germany, and that Japan was loyal to its ally Germany, but it must not be concluded from this that Japan would inevitably break off diplomatic relations with the USSR.

When Matsuoka suggested that the Soviet government study the Japanese proposal for a non-aggression pact, he said that he could postpone his return from Moscow for a few days.

Molotov replied to Matsuoka that the Soviet Union had no intention of concluding an agreement with the United States to attack Japan, but of course the Soviet Union would continue to negotiate with the United States and develop relations with the United States in its own interests.

If the Japanese Government wanted to take a major political step in relations with the Soviet Union, the two sides would be able to negotiate a neutrality treaty for the time being, and all that would need to be discussed was the cancellation of Japan's oil and coal concessions in North Sakhalin, with the accompanying compensation for the investment of the Japanese concessions, and the Soviet Union's obligation to provide Japan with a certain amount of oil for the next few years.

After communicating with the country, Matsuoka agreed to conclude a neutrality treaty when he met Molotov again, but firmly opposed the cancellation of Japan's concession on North Sakhalin. At the same time, in the course of the talks, Matsuoka proposed the signing of a secret protocol on spheres of influence, which would state that Japan's spheres of influence were Inner Mongolia and North China, while the Soviet Union's spheres of influence were the Mongolian People's Republic and Xinjiang.

On May 13, 1940, the signing ceremony of the Soviet-Japanese Neutrality Treaty and the letter on the Soviet-Japanese trade and fishery agreement and the cancellation of concessions in North Sakhalin was held. On the same day of signing. The parties also made a statement: "The USSR undertakes to respect the territorial integrity and inviolability of Manchukuo, and Japan undertakes to respect the territorial integrity and inviolability of the Mongolian People's Republic."

This was obviously an unwarranted interference in China's internal affairs and a serious violation of the Sino-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact, and the Soviet Union's aid to China gradually decreased since then.

On the afternoon of May 17, 1940, Matsuoka and his entourage returned to Tokyo and reported on the negotiations between Japan and the Soviet Union at a joint meeting of government headquarters held at 9 p.m. On May 18, the Japanese Secret Court passed the Soviet-Japanese neutrality treaty, which was immediately approved by the emperor.

Same. The Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR also ratified the Soviet-Japanese Neutrality Pact. On the 19th, representatives of the Soviet Union and the Japanese governments exchanged instruments of ratification of the treaty in Tokyo, announcing the formal entry into force of the Soviet-Japanese neutrality treaty.

At the same time, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China, Wang Chonghui, issued a statement the day after the signing of the Japan-Soviet Treaty, pointing out: "The four northeastern provinces and Outer Mongolia are Chinese territory, Manchukuo is illegal, the Chinese Government will never recognize the Soviet-Japanese neutrality treaty, the Chinese Government and people will never recognize any decision of a third country that impedes China's territorial and administrative integrity, and the joint declaration issued by the Soviet Union and Japan is absolutely invalid for China." ”

At the same time, the Suicha Military Region also held a press conference in Guisui, where Ma Zheng publicly condemned the Soviet and Japanese governments for violating China's national will. It is immoral and at the same time a deliberate provocation to China to arbitrarily divide up China's territory without the presence of representatives of the Chinese government, and the entire Chinese nation will not recognize this treaty.

In addition, hundreds of thousands of officers and men of the Suicha Military Region will be ready to wage a bloody battle against the enemy who endangers the territorial and sovereign integrity until the enemy is completely wiped out.

Subsequently, the Suicha Military Region convened an emergency military meeting in Guisui, which was attended by the commanders of all military subdivisions and the division and brigade commanders of the units directly under it. At the same time, the work objectives and work plans for the second half of the year were formulated, mainly focusing on the industrial field, especially heavy industry.

According to the statistics of the headquarters of the military region, the Suicha Military Region has now built seven iron and steel enterprises, with an annual output of 2.9 million tons of refined steel and 7.65 million tons of pure iron. There are 127 mines of various kinds built in the jurisdiction, mainly concentrated in coal, non-ferrous metal mines, stone and other industries, employing as many as 200,000 people.

In addition, with the direct intervention and support of the headquarters of the Suicha Military Region, industries related to the development of the national economy such as ferrous and non-ferrous metal smelting and processing, coking and coke, chemicals, chemical raw materials, cement, electric power, coal processing, and glass fiber raw materials have all developed to a great extent.

In addition, during this period of time, Ma Zheng has carried out a comprehensive integration of the arsenals of the Suicha Military Region, and has built a total of 8 large-scale arsenals, including 4 in Baotou, 2 in Guisui, 1 in Yikezhao, and 1 in Jining.

The integrated arsenal is no longer a single scattered weapons and equipment production unit, but has become a military department integrating production and scientific research, and according to the geographical location and production capacity of the respective arsenals, the eight integrated arsenals have their own characteristics. For example, the Baotou Arsenal, although there are only 4 arsenals in Baotou, each of them has its own unique large factory, which can produce all light and heavy weapons at the same time.

The four major factories were named Baotou No. 1 Arsenal, No. 2 Arsenal, Baotou No. 1 Machinery Factory, and No. 2 Machinery Factory.

The first soldier mainly produces guns and ammunition, and its products include AK47 assault rifles, Type 38 rifles, Type 92 heavy machine guns, and various types of bullets. Due to the integration of all the large and small ordnance enterprises in other regions, the production capacity of a soldier is extremely strong, taking the AK47 assault rifle as an example, a soldier can produce 10,000 assault rifles per month, which is far beyond the other arsenals of the Suicha Military Region in terms of production capacity.

The Second Corps mainly produces all kinds of artillery, including 60 and 81 mm caliber mortars and rocket launchers, as well as various artillery shells, mines, grenades, gun grenades, etc.

Not long ago, Ma Zheng completed a deal with the Soviet side to introduce a production line of the old Soviet T26 light tank at a price of $5 million, and now this production line has been debugged, and it is expected that the first tank produced by the Suicha Military Region will roll off the assembly line next month. In addition, the first machine factory is also responsible for the production of agricultural tractors, transport vehicles and locomotives in the entire northern part of the country.

The second machine factory is mainly the production of various types of aircraft and aircraft spare parts, due to the limitation of technical standards, now the second machine factory is now an empty shell, not to mention the aircraft production line, there is not even a decent plant, let alone there is nothing that can be handled.

Ma Zheng was not worried about this, and his daughter-in-law sent a telegram two days ago saying that with the help of the Morgan family and the Rockefeller family, the Huaxia Company had reached an agreement with the US Government, and the US Government was willing to sell the production technology and corresponding equipment of the P40 aircraft to the Huaxia Arms Company at a price of $20 million.

Although the price was high, at the behest of Ma Zheng, Huaxia Arms Company accepted the deal. At the same time, Ma Zheng also negotiated with the US government with his daughter-in-law, hoping to buy a batch of US warships, either in active service or about to be decommissioned, and the price is easy to say.

Anyway, now Huaxia Company is not short of money, don't look at the Huaxia Company has not been established for a long time, but the current capital is extremely amazing. In the production park outside San Francisco, Huaxia Biopharmaceutical's 1,000-acre production base produces penicillin and streptomycin drugs day and night, and these drugs are basically rushed away by representatives from various countries waiting in the warehouse area as soon as the production line is completed.

With the outbreak of war on a large scale, whether it is Britain and France, the United States and the Soviet Union, or Germany, Italy and Spain, these countries have realized the importance of penicillin drugs. You must know that almost half of the wounded die every year due to wound infection, and even a small box of penicillin medicine can save a soldier's life.

After all, war is still a confrontation between people, how can we fight when everyone is dead? Besides, every veteran on the battlefield is a rare wealth, and it is extremely important for any country to be able to save the lives of these veterans, so the orders of various countries have increased rapidly.
