Chapter 564 The Mingmei Joint Communiqué

"Ryukyu, the Ryukyu issue must be resolved, this problem has been dragging on for many years, and it cannot be delayed any longer."

In the meeting room of the White House, Yang Feng directly told Kennedy that the main purpose of his current visit to the United States was to solve the Ryukyu issue, and that His Royal Highness the King of the Ryukyus had been waiting for him for 15 years, and indeed could not wait any longer, and now was certainly the best time to solve this problem.

"Your Excellency, what about the future U.S. forces in the Ryukyus?"

Kennedy asked.

Ryukyu is definitely going to give Yang Feng, but Ryukyu is also one of the most important bases of the US military, and it is also impossible for the US military to withdraw there, so the key is how to solve this problem.

"We are friends, there is no difference between the US military protecting there and the Ming army protecting there, so although you are stationed there, you can stay there for as long as you want, I just need to take back the sovereignty and governance of the Ryukyus, of course, the Ming army will also go to the Ryukyus if necessary, but this does not prevent the US troops from stationing. However, there are a few details that must be clarified, first of all, you have to pay the rent, and this specific amount will be discussed separately, second, the U.S. soldiers must abide by the local laws, and I don't want to see frequent incidents of U.S. soldiers forcing local female students, and third, if U.S. soldiers commit crimes in the Ryukyus, then they must be tried by the Ryukyu courts, and everything is according to the standards of your garrisons in Britain and other countries, and fourth, if the Ryukyu Parliament decides that your garrison must leave, then you must also leave. ”

Yang Feng said.

"We need to sign a lend-lease agreement, and the Ryukyu government cannot unilaterally break the contract during the lease period."

Kennedy said.

"I think this should be fine, there is no financial source there, and now the main income comes from your garrison, and the Ryukyu government will not want you to leave."

Yang Feng said very frankly.

All he wanted was to take back the sovereignty of the Ryukyus, and Shoyu was the vassal king, and the Ryukyus were three types of vassal states. Everything is according to the standards of the Goryeo Wa Kingdom, and he has two huge bases, Goryeo and Wa Kingdoms, and he is not ready to station troops on a large scale in the Ryukyus, so he will not drive the American troops away. Shang Yu will not be even more so, don't look at the modern Ryukyuan people marching against the United States every day, the US military must really withdraw from the Ryukyus. They promised to hold their legs and not let them go, and without those American troops who spent a lot of money, it would be impossible for the small island that was not as big as the sky to feed 1.5 million people.

Kennedy was very satisfied with Yang Feng's answer, of course, even if he was not satisfied at this time, there was nothing he could do, but since the Ryukyu problem was solved, then the affairs of the Japanese Kingdom must also be completely resolved.

"I still say the same thing about the Wa Kingdom. As long as I am south of the Guanmen Strait, I am not even interested in Shikoku Island, in fact, the governments of the four counties of Shikoku Island have repeatedly proposed to join the Wa Kingdom, but I have refused, and the Ming army is now on the south shore of the Guanmen Strait, but they have not stepped over this barrier of more than a kilometer. As for the division of the island of Honshu, it is up to you to decide, and if you want to do so, you will follow the 39th parallel. If you are willing to go to the 38th parallel, even if you want to hit the Tsugaru Strait. I will also help you achieve your goals, but I am only a helper, and I have no interest in the land of Honshu.

But I will not recognize the Japanese Democratic Republic as a state, at most as a special member of the empire like Xinhua and Minhua, in short, I can put this issue aside. Put it on hold indefinitely.

However, you must recognize the Wa Kingdom as a part of the Ming Empire, and you must also recognize the Kingdom of Goryeo as a member of the Ming Empire, and you must also recognize the Kingdom of Annam as a member of the Ming Empire. You have to admit it, and your allies have to admit it, that I don't want to dwell on these details later. “

Yang Feng said.

"But the kingdoms of Goryeo and Annam can no longer seek land outside their current control."

Kennedy said.

"I don't have the right to promise anything on their behalf."

Yang Feng said.

"But if we do, we can't recognize their legitimacy."

Kennedy said a little speechlessly.

"But I can deal with these two countries according to the example of the Japanese state, I can promise not to solve the problems of these two countries by force, and I can treat South Goryeo and the Republic of Annam as special imperial members of the Xinhua Minhua."

Yang Feng said.

Goryeo is not ready to change, how perfect Samhan is, how can he destroy it himself.

Over the years, under his play, Samhan has grown up completely according to his wishes, and a large number of Chinese investors have poured into the area controlled by the Goryeo Kingdom, completely grasping the economic lifeline of this small vassal country, and then taking advantage of the special relationship with South Goryeo, dumping Ming industrial products on the latter. His Chinese businessmen's support fund also added additional subsidies to dumping into South Goryeo, and even instigated Li Jiu to partner with his supporters in South Goryeo to engage in large-scale smuggling, with the result that South Goryeo's economy has always been bleak, and if this continues, as long as his black hand is not let go, it will be difficult for South Goryeo to develop.

For example, the car market in South Korea has been completely occupied by the cheap brand Beidou Automobile under Kirin Motors, the main products of this company's automobile factory in Gwangju are the original historical Subaru 360, Toyota FJ40, in addition to micro buses, micro trucks, in short, all of them are cheap cars, in fact, there are additional subsidies given to them by Yang Feng, relying on unparalleled cheapness to easily squeeze the American competitors out of the South Korean market.

It is estimated that with this company, Hyundai is not expected to develop.

This is equivalent to continuously drawing blood from South Goryeo to feed the Goryeo Kingdom, and the prosperity of the Goryeo Kingdom has lured the people of South Goryeo to be dissatisfied with the government, Syngman Rhee has been overthrown by the mutiny, and then only need to let Li Jiu act as a thug to keep making trouble for South Goryeo. Instigating politicians and military coups to mutiny, inciting civil youth to rebel, and encouraging rich people to transfer property to the Kingdom of Goryeo, if this continues to play, the 14th largest economic power in the world in history may not appear, but the living standards of the people of the Kingdom of Goryeo will definitely approach the Ming Dynasty.

And in his layout in the future, the three widows will also play like this.

It is precisely because of this that he only needs a small island of Kyushu, because Kyushu Island was not affected at all in the war, and a large number of wealthy people fled here, and the future economic development of the Wa Kingdom will definitely be very rapid, and then, just like in South Goryeo, he will continue to rely on his advantages to dump industrial products to the people, draw the blood of the Minwa to feed the Wa Kingdom, and finally let the Wa Kingdom step on the development of the Minwa, of course, it is controlled by the development of Chinese capital.

But Annan is different, Annan is to be annexed.

Of course, Kennedy will not know that Yang Feng has a complete conspiracy system, although Yang Feng's solution is a bit overbearing, but he has nothing to lose to the United States, but these little brothers will be dissatisfied, but this dissatisfaction is only emotional, and their actual interests are also not damaged, and in this case, the most important thing is of course not the feelings of the younger brothers, but the Ming army that fought side by side with the US army on the battlefield of the Japanese State.

So soon, just after the 6th Marine Brigade of the Ming Army and the 1st Brigade of the Wawang National Defense Army completed the landing at Hitachi to open up the second battlefield, the Ming and American countries issued a joint communiqué in Washington.

First, the United States will officially transfer the Ryukyu Kingdom to the Ming Empire, and the two countries will separately sign a Lend-Lease Agreement for the Ryukyu US military base, and second, the United States government recognizes the Wa Kingdom, the Kingdom of Goryeo, the Kingdom of Annam, the Kingdom of the Ryukyus, and the Republic of Western Australia as the territory of the Ming Empire.

As for the rest, it is all a matter of vain and brainstorming, such as strengthening economic, cultural, and political exchanges and cooperation, but no matter how much they are strengthened, no one has brought up the matter of concluding any substantive alliance treaty.

In short, this communiqué literally plays with flowers, and two friendly countries that are as close as brothers leap onto the paper, but tear off this gorgeous coat, the substance inside is the above two points, and the real rice people really take out only the first article, even if the rice country does not recognize it in other places, it is also Ming. Even if they take out the Ryukyus, they are limited, as long as the US troops do not withdraw their troops, it is not the same who is in charge of the big and small broken places, so at this time, people with discerning eyes can see that Yang Yuan Yuan actually didn't get much this time.

But there are some things that the outside world will definitely not know.

It's a question of gold against the dollar.

After several months of negotiations within the International Monetary Fund, the gold treasury plan was finally put on hold and replaced by a dual-price gold system, no matter how much gold broke through against the dollar in the private market, the gold exchanged by central banks in US dollars to the United States will continue to be in accordance with the legal 35 US dollars per ounce, and will not be affected by market fluctuations.

The result of this negotiation does not have anything to do with Yang Feng's visit to the United States, Daming is not even a member of the International Monetary Fund, and there are no representatives of the Ming Empire in this negotiation, but all the countries participating in the negotiations know that the reason why the people of the United States gritted their teeth and carried the bitter fruit of the depreciation of the dollar by themselves is completely a choice that has to be made under the pressure of Yang Feng, that is to say, this is a victory for all other countries under the leadership of Yang Feng over the United States.

After the results of this negotiation came out, investors immediately stepped up selling dollars to buy gold because they were worried about the central banks running on gold, and before Yang Feng's visit to the United States ended, the gold price finally broke through the terrifying barrier of 45 US dollars. In this case, including Britain and France, including countries, especially led by Gaul, have exchanged gold at official prices to the United States, and in just a few days, the gold reserves of the United States have broken through the 10,000-ton mark, of course, it is a downward breakthrough, in which Yang Feng alone has exchanged 800 tons.

It can be said that the foundation of the Bretton Woods system was hollowed out all of a sudden, and the only consolation was that they temporarily maintained their face. (To be continued.) )
