After more than three hours of suffering, at more than nine o'clock in the morning, Huzi finally sent a telegram, after the collective efforts of all the medical staff of St. Mary's Hospital, his little daughter-in-law finally came down from the operating table safely, and gave birth to a 7 pounds and 7 taels of female baby! Mother and daughter are safe!

Hearing the news, Ma Zheng let out a long breath, and finally gave birth, and he was worried about himself in these three hours. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Ma Zheng immediately instructed Huzi to take care of Li Lanqing's mother and daughter no matter what! During Li Lanqing's confinement, the work of Huaxia Company was discussed by the company's management, and then reported to his daughter-in-law for final decision.

And just when Ma Zheng was happy that he was happy, the Japanese side also made a new move. After a major diplomatic breakthrough on the part of the Soviet Union, Japan's confidence skyrocketed, hoping to strike while the iron was hot and be able to take over the United States, the biggest uncertaintie in the Asia-Pacific region.

At the same time, the United States also saw the breakthrough made by Japan in the diplomatic field, and immediately sent a two-state proposal to ease or even completely resolve the dispute between the United States and Japan through negotiations.

In the US-Japan Understanding, the US Government put forward seven issues of common importance to both countries, including the international vision and national outlook of Japan and the United States, the attitudes of the two governments toward the war in Europe, the relationship between the two governments regarding the incident in China, the naval and air forces and maritime relations in the Pacific, the trade and financial cooperation between the two countries, the economic activities of the two countries in the Southwest Pacific, and the policy of the two governments on stabilizing politics in the Pacific region.

After receiving this understanding package from the United States, the Japanese Government was overjoyed, and although it was only a package of understanding, the information revealed by the United States made the Japanese extremely excited, and it was a harbinger of the easing of US-Japanese relations, and if US-Japanese relations could return to the state they had been 37 years ago, Japan would not be afraid of any challenge at all.

In the plan of understanding put forward by the United States, the Americans first expounded the new US considerations on US-Japan relations, and the US Government hopes that the Japanese and US governments will recognize each other as equal independent countries and as Pacific powers adjacent to each other. It is hoped that the two Governments will affirm that their national policies are the same in their desire to establish lasting peace and usher in a new era of trust and cooperation based on mutual respect.

Under such a premise, the US Government hopes that the two governments will express their views on the European War and the Sino-Japanese War, which are in full swing at this time, and according to the understanding proposed by the United States, "The Japanese Government affirms that the purpose of the Axis Alliance is defensive and is to prevent the expansion of the military balance to countries that have not yet participated in the European War." The Government of Japan declares that it has no intention of evading its obligations under the existing treaties and that its military obligations under the Axis Coalition will be fulfilled only in the event of an active attack by Germany, a signatory to the Axis Coalition, if it is attacked on its own initiative by a country that has not yet participated in the war in Europe. ”

"At the same time, the United States Government affirms that its attitude toward war in Europe is that it will not be swayed by an offensive alliance that assists one side in attacking the other, now and in the future. The U.S. Government affirms that the United States is unswervingly opposed to war, and therefore its attitude toward war in Europe is that it will be decided only on the basis of the consideration of defending its own interests and security, both now and in the future. ”

In connection with the ongoing Sino-Japanese war, the President of the United States recognized the following conditions, which, if guaranteed by the Government of Japan, could be used to advise the Chiang regime to make peace. The first is that China must be an independent country, and Japan cannot destroy China. This is the premise, the United States does not want Japan to enter Chinese mainland, and is more worried that Japan, which lacks effective checks, will rapidly expand to the point of threatening US interests.

The second is the retreat of the Japanese army from Chinese territory, not annexing Chinese territory, and not making compensation. The open-door policy will be restored, but the interpretation and scope of its application will be discussed by Japan and the United States at an appropriate time in the future.

Finally, the Chiang regime merged with the Wang government, mainly with the Chiang regime as the main body, and established a pro-Japanese and pro-Anglo-American coalition government. At the same time, Japan itself controlled mass or collective migration to Chinese territory, and the United States and its allies recognized Manchukuo.

The plan also stipulates in detail the naval and air forces and maritime relations in the Pacific: "Japan and the United States shall not deploy naval forces or air forces that threaten each other in order to maintain peace in the Pacific." The details will be discussed separately between Japan and the United States. After the agreement is reached at the talks between Japan and the United States, the two countries should send their fleets to each other for courtesy visits to congratulate the arrival of peace in the Pacific. After the settlement of the China incident was ready, the Japanese government, in accordance with the hopes of the US Government, agreed to quickly mobilize those who could be decommissioned from the ships currently in service in accordance with the treaty signed with the United States, mainly in the Pacific Ocean. About the tonnage of ships of this class, etc. It will be decided separately at the Japan-US talks. ”

In addition, Japan is most concerned about trade and financial cooperation between the two countries and the economic activities of the two countries in the southwest Pacific; you must know that the United States has always played the role of Japan's nurse in the war of aggression against China, and if the United States can continue to play the role of its true colors, Japan believes that its imperial hegemony will be completely successful.

The United States proposes that after this understanding is reached and agreed by the two governments, Japan and the United States should guarantee the supply of goods that each country needs and that the other side has. At the same time, the two governments should take appropriate measures. Restore normal trade relations that existed during the period of the Japan-US Trade Treaty. If the two governments want to conclude a new treaty, they can study it through the Japan-US talks and conclude it as is customary.

In order to promote economic cooperation between the two countries, the United States should provide Japan with sufficient credit loans to develop East Asian industry and commerce, improve the economic situation in East Asia, and realize Japan-US economic cooperation. In view of Japan's pledge not to use force but to pursue its development in the South-West Pacific by peaceful means, Japan's activities wishing to produce and acquire oil, rubber, tin, nickel and other materials in the region should be assisted and supported by the United States.

In order to stabilize the increasingly tense situation in Southeast Asia, the United States suggested that the two governments immediately formulate a policy for stabilizing Pacific politics, and put forward three proposals: "First, the Japanese and American governments will not allow European countries to accept territorial cession or merge with existing countries in East Asia and the Southwest Pacific in the future. Second, the governments of Japan and the United States will jointly guarantee the independence of the Philippines if it does not provoke and is attacked by a third country. Both countries should consider ways of assistance. Third, Japanese immigrants in the United States and the Southwest Pacific shall be treated in a friendly manner and treated equally with other nationals. ”

Finally, the United States also proposed that the two countries hold talks between senior intergovernmental officials in anticipation of the eventual understanding of the other side, and the United States Government believes that the talks between the representatives of Japan and the United States should be held in Honolulu and that the meeting should be chaired by President Roosevelt on behalf of the United States and Prime Minister Konoe on behalf of Japan. The number of delegates is limited to 5 on both sides, excluding experts, secretaries, etc. At the same time, observers from third countries are not allowed to attend the talks.

The Japanese still believe in the sincerity of the Americans, because after all, although this understanding plan is a secret plan, that is to say, it is limited to the secrets known to the top leaders of the United States and Japan. In addition, Japan is even more clear about the origin of this US-Japan understanding proposal, and it is not at all what it seems, but it was first proposed by the Americans.

In fact, before that, Tadao Ikawa, a former official of the Ministry of Finance and a member of the board of directors of the Central Treasury of the Industrial Association at the time, had secretly had personal contacts with Droot, secretary general of Melino University, the highest Catholic university in the United States, and Bishop Walsch, who were visiting Japan, on the issue of adjusting diplomatic relations between Japan and the United States.

And this Ikawa Tadao is directly related to Prime Minister Konoe, although he is not authorized by the Japanese government, but to a certain extent, he can represent Konoe Fumima.

After returning home, the two American missionaries contacted President Roosevelt, Secretary of State Hull, and Secretary of Posts Walker. The head of the military affairs bureau of the Ministry of the Army, Muto, and the chief of the Iwabe Military Section, learned about their work between Japanese and American private individuals through Tadao Ikawa. Foreign Minister Matsuoka also had initial contact with the two American missionaries, but he was not very enthusiastic.

After meeting with Roosevelt and others, the two missionaries, Draut and Walsch, soon sent a telegram to the Japanese side, and their work was promising, so the Japanese ambassador Nomura went back to the United States one after another.

Later, Tadao Ikawa, who was in contact with Prime Minister Konoe, and Osashi Iwabe, who assisted Ambassador Nomura in his work, and Draut and Walsch, who had extremely secret ties with the US leaders, discussed in secret a trial plan for adjusting Japan-US diplomatic relations. At the same time, the U.S. authorities and the Japanese embassy authorities also participated in the work, and the Japan-US understanding was finally drawn up.

It can be said that this plan of understanding is the result of the efforts of the United States and Japan, and since the Americans have the time to accompany them in formulating this plan, it can be said that the Americans are still very sincere in improving Japan-US relations. (To be continued.) )
