"Are you finally going to war?"

This sentence became the mantra of almost all the people of the world after February 3, 1943, the 43rd year of Guanghua (March 10, 1943). Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo╔╗

At three o'clock in the afternoon of that day, the Senate of the Imperial Chinese Empire passed the measures to be taken in response to the attack on civilian ships of the Chinese Empire by a warship of the US Navy submitted by the House of Representatives for deliberation, and sent them to the Prime Minister's Office for signature by Premier Song Jiaoren, and then the Imperial Emperor Wang Chenhao covered the jade seal and officially took effect. ╔╗╔╗

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Empire said that the Imperial Government of China has issued an ultimatum to the US Government in accordance with the measures formulated by the Congress to deal with the incident, demanding that the US Government transfer the perpetrator, Captain Cross of the destroyer USS Houston, and 112 other US officers and men to the Chinese Empire before 1 March 43 in Guanghua to be tried by the Chinese Imperial Court. ╔╗

At the same time, the additional economic conditions are to compensate the Royal Mail Company of the Chinese Empire for economic and employee casualties of 880 million dragon coins, and compensate the families of all the victims for life, property and mental losses totaling 1.23 billion dragon coins, and each victim's family will receive an average of up to 3 million dragon coins. ╔╗

The additional political conditions are that the US government publicly apologizes in writing, the US Maritime Self-Defense Force is prohibited from sending overseas, it needs to abide by the Sino-US "New York Peace Treaty", the total tonnage of naval warships must be reduced to less than 200,000 tons, and the Navy warships exceeding this limit must be dismantled. At the same time, the U.S. Ground Self-Defense Force does not have the right to send troops overseas, and it needs to stop non-humanitarian military operations in the European theater. In addition, the Chinese Empire demanded that the United States disclose its secret nuclear facilities and allow experts from the League of Nations' Weapons of Mass Destruction Nonproliferation Organization to verify them.

Everyone can feel that this ultimatum is really an overlord clause. The first is to send Cross and other US officers and soldiers to the Chinese Empire for trial, and according to the laws of the Chinese Empire, it is likely that Cross and others will all be sentenced to death. The Chinese Empire has always retained the Ten Tortures, which are specially used to punish the most heinous criminals, such as beheading for treason, and torture such as hanging and car splitting for criminals who have more than 50,000 autographs on a petition signed by legal citizens. At this time, the people of the Chinese Empire were furious, and in order to establish national prestige, the Supreme Court was likely to curry favor with the people and torture all of Cross and others.

If the U.S. government accepts this first article, then the Roosevelt administration will lose its prestige.

The second article of economic compensation is obviously even more outrageous, although the Chinese Empire officially said that the lives of the Chinese are valuable, and each person will be compensated more than 3 million dragon coins within a reasonable range of compensation, but the total amount of compensation is as high as more than 2 billion dragon coins, which is simply robbery. If Roosevelt had agreed, the huge sum would have kept the U.S. government without food or drink for 18 months.

Roosevelt could have done it with a written apology, but Roosevelt could not accept the resumption of compliance with the Sino-US "New York Peace Treaty" and the return of the US military to the starting point. Because once it does that, the United States will have to be left to its own devices. What Roosevelt could not tolerate the most was that the Chinese Empire demanded the verification of US nuclear test sites and the closure of US nuclear facilities. (To be continued.)
