Chapter 181: Sino-Japanese Armistice Treaty

100,000 Navy? Two million Army? Five million reserve samurai who can be formed into an army at once?

That's a whole army of seven million!

Oh, my God! Is this going to perish??

The ministers of Britain, France, the United States and Germany on the side felt that they were trembling all over, and they knew very well that even all the armies of Britain, France, the United States and Germany did not add up to seven million.

Moreover, Cui Jingluo just said that China still has a population of 450 million, which is already the total population of Britain, the United States, France, Germany, and other countries. Million? Million? Or forty million? Million? Even if you hold a sword, a bow and arrow, I'm afraid that there is only one way to perish!

While the ministers of Britain, France, the United States, and Germany trembled tremblingly, the prime minister and the negotiators were also chilling all over.

Only when we really face a big country with a population of four or five billion and an army of seven or eight million can we truly appreciate our own insignificance.

Katsura Taro withered in an instant, although he knew that it was impossible for China to really form a 7 million army landing book, but he didn't dare to bet it, and he couldn't afford to gamble, because not to mention the 7 million Chinese army landing book, even if it was a 700,000 Chinese army landing book, the book would only end up in destruction!

However, in order to reduce the loss of the company, Katsura Taro still said: "The conditions in your country are too harsh, and my country really can't afford it. ”

Cui Jingluo's face was calm, and said: "If your country is unwilling to give, it doesn't matter, we will take it ourselves, I heard that there are many factories in the industrial zone in the Seto Inland Sea area of your country, there are many banks, and there are many large consortia, we will go and take away those machines, deposits, and consortium assets, oh, by the way, your royal family has been inherited for more than a thousand years, and I heard that there are a lot of gold and treasure reserves, how can we be willing to take it in person, just like the British and French troops invaded the Chinese imperial palace more than 40 years ago!" ”

Cui Jingluo said lightly and glanced at the British and French ministers on the side, making the two of them feel cold, as if they had fallen into an ice cave!

Threats, naked threats!

But is it instinctive to resist?

Now China is a knife, and it is said that it is meat on the chopping board!

Katsura Taro gritted his teeth and said, "Your country wants too much compensation, and I can't afford to pay so much money!" ”

Can't come up with that much money? Hey, it's okay, take the rest!

Cui Jingluo lightly refused: "That's a pity, this is already my country's bottom line, if your country really can't take it, then wait for the Chinese fleet to bomb the coast of Yueben, wait for the two million Chinese Dragon and Tiger Army to land in Busan, land in Yueben!" ”

Katsura Taro's face changed suddenly, and the negotiations finally broke up unhappily under such circumstances.

In the next three days, the two sides launched rounds of arguments at the negotiation table, but in any case, when it came to compensation, Cui Jingluo bit his heart and did not relax, anyway, it is that sentence, if you don't want to give it, I will take it myself!

After another two days, Cui Jingluo, under Wang Jundao's signal, felt that the time was about the same, and finally relented about the reparations in the negotiations, but he also clung to the bottom line of 1.5 billion pounds, and made it conditional that Taiwan, the Penghu Islands, and the Ryukyu Islands must be returned.

In the end, he agreed to pay 1.5 billion pounds in compensation and returned Taiwan, the Penghu Islands, the Ryukyu Islands and other lands.

After several years of cholera and war, it would have been good to come up with 15 million pounds, let alone 1.5 billion pounds.

In order to reduce the amount of reparations, at the suggestion of Cui Jingluo, he agreed to cede Tsushima, the Goto Islands, Kagoshima, Yakushima and its affiliated islands to China, and finally obtained the condition of only 1.2 billion pounds in compensation.

As for the more than 80,000 Chinese army and navy captured in the Korean Strait naval battle over the past year or so, Cui Jingluo offered a redemption price of 1,000 pounds per soldier and 1,500 pounds per officer.

When it comes to the final price, it costs £700 to redeem a soldier and £1,200 to redeem an officer, and as for the captured warships, they are naturally not negotiated.

On November 16, Cui Jingluo, the representative of China, and Katsura Taro, the representative of China, signed the "Sino-Chinese Armistice Treaty" in Yanjing, which was said to be an armistice treaty, but in fact it was an unequal treaty.

The main contents of the treaty are:

First, China said that there would be an end to the war and apologized for its previous military acts of invading China and killing the Chinese people.

Second, it is said that China will compensate China for war reparations and national losses of 1.2 billion pounds.

Third, it is said that Taiwan and its affiliated islands, the Penghu Islands, and the Ryukyu Islands will be returned to China and permanently recognized as China's inherent territory.

Fourth, the Tsushima Islands, the Goto Islands, Kagoshima, Yakushima Island, and their affiliated islands were ceded to China and permanently recognized as China's inherent territory.

Fifth, China said that the 38th parallel is the boundary in Korea, the south belongs to the sphere of influence of the DPRK, and the north belongs to China, and the north must permanently recognize the north of the 38th parallel as China's inherent territory, and it is said that it is not allowed to station troops within 100 miles south of the 38th parallel, and it is said that the number of troops stationed in Korea must not exceed 200,000.

Sixth, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Osaka, Kobe, Nagoya, and Yokohama will be opened up as permanent treaty ports.

Seventh, since the signing of the treaty, China and the two sides have stopped all war actions!

Eighth, if this treaty is contrary to the content of the treaty, China has the right to defend its rights by all means, including military action.

Among them, with regard to the second article, that is, the war reparations, there is a subsidiary treaty: the reparations of 1.2 billion pounds, the down payment of 600 million pounds, which can be replaced by the equivalent of gold, silver and other metal currencies, and the remaining 600 million pounds can be repaid in six years, with an interest of 6 percent.

After the signing of the armistice treaty, China immediately borrowed money from Britain, the United States, Germany, France, and other countries, and Britain, France, the United States, and Germany willingly lent a total of 400 million pounds to the country, and the remaining 100 million pounds, and the other 100 million pounds.

Ten days later, the down payment of 600 million pounds in war reparations had reached China.

During this period, all of the forces of the Ryukyu Islands were withdrawn from Taiwan and its affiliated islands, the Penghu Islands, the Ryukyu Islands and other islands, and China immediately recovered Taiwan and its affiliated islands and the Penghu Islands, incorporated the Ryukyu Islands into its territory, and obtained Tsushima Island, the Goto Islands, Kagoshima, Yakushima and its affiliated islands, and other islands that were ceded to China.

Most of Ben's hundreds of thousands of troops in Korea also withdrew from Korea, leaving only 200,000 troops.

After learning that most of the army stationed in Korea had withdrawn to the mainland, Wang Jundao also ordered that most of the Chinese Dragon and Tiger Army stationed in northern Korea be withdrawn, leaving only 130,000 troops to garrison, including the 7th, 8th, 9th, 81st, 82nd, 83rd, 84th, 85th, 86th, and 87th divisions.

Then Wang Jundao ordered the northern part of Korea, that is, the area north of the 38th parallel, to be placed under the jurisdiction of Liaoning Province and Jilin Province respectively, of which Jiangjie, Dongxin, Changjin, Hyesan, Cheongjin, Jinze, Zucheon and other northern Korean regions belonged to Jilin Province, and the rest of the regions including Yongcheon, Xuanchuan, Pyongseong, Pyongyang, Haeju, Songdu, Wonsan, and Goseong belonged to Liaoning Province.

After the signing of the "Sino-Chinese Armistice Treaty," as the envoys of various countries gradually communicated with their own countries and publicized to their own countries all kinds of China's great features, especially in weapons and high-end technology, all countries have realized that although China is far inferior to them in basic industry, it is far ahead of them in advanced weapons and high-end technology.

As a result, the hostile attitudes of various countries toward China began to change imperceptibly, and after close deliberations, most of the elders of various countries decided to establish friendly relations with China in order to obtain advanced weapons technology and high-end science and technology from China.

Even Russia, which was originally at loggerheads with China, decided to cease war with China and coexist peacefully, but now more than 100,000 Russian soldiers have become Chinese prisoners, and even Russia's war minister is still in China's hands.

As a last resort, Russia also temporarily signed an armistice agreement with China, but this armistice agreement was a real armistice, not an unequal treaty like the armistice treaty signed with Yuben.

Russia was willing to redeem its captured soldiers at a price equal to the price of the original price, and Wang Jundao readily agreed, but there were also conditions, that is, Russia must permanently recognize the Hanzhong region, the east and south of Lake Balkhash, the Mongolian region, and the area south of the Trans-Khingan Mountains as China's inherent territory.

Russia naturally knows that it is impossible to spit out the land occupied by China again, unless it is seized through war, but since the outbreak of the war between China and Russia, Russia has not only failed to win a single battle, but has also lost hundreds of thousands of troops, and even the fleet in the Pacific region has been wiped out, and the army has been replaced with Sinophobia in its eyes. I was afraid that if I couldn't defeat China at that time, I would throw away more land, so I naturally agreed to Wang Jundao's conditions.

The negotiations between the two countries did not take too long before an armistice was reached.

Britain, France, the United States, Germany, Italy, Austria and other countries are naturally not far behind, and in the case that China has completely risen, it is better to form friendly relations with China than to become enemies of China and suffer losses on both sides, and through transactions, try to obtain China's high-end weapons technology and high-end science and technology, so as to develop their own national defense and industry.

Among them, Germany was the most cheerful, first putting forward the conditions for the return of China's Qingdao and Jiaozhou Bay areas, and then deciding to redeem the German officers and soldiers who were captured by Wang Jundao during the Eight-Nation Alliance's war of aggression against China.

Britain, the United States, France, Italy, Austria-Hungary and other countries were also willing to redeem their own soldiers who were captured by Wang Jundao during the invasion of China by the Eight-Nation Alliance.

As for wanting to obtain China's advanced weapons technology and high-end science and technology, Wang Jundao naturally will not suffer a loss, and has asked other countries to exchange basic industrial technology and industrial equipment and industrial machinery.

And Wang Jundao will not give them the most advanced technology, and decided to give them technology that is one or two grades lower than China's high-end technology, even so, these high-end technologies are still about four or five years more advanced than the most advanced technology of this era.

Countless pounds, dollars, or hard currencies such as gold and silver flowed into China through Wang Jundao's 'sale' captives, and with it, a large number of basic industrial technologies, industrial equipment, industrial machinery, etc., and Wang Jundao only paid for some technologies that could appear in this world in a few years.

In the process of Wang Jundao trading with Britain, France, the United States, Russia, Germany, Italy and Austria in exchange for a large amount of gold and silver, currency, as well as industrial basic technology, industrial equipment, and industrial machinery, Wang Jundao finally decided to build a country under the strong pleas of a cabinet and military bigwigs, and actively prepared for the establishment of the country!
