Naotaka Ii stayed in Tianjin for more than a month. In the first half of this month, he spent the first half of the month in the quarantine center of Tianjin, and the second half of the month he spent the second half of the month in Tianjin wandering around and doing nothing.

It's not that Naotaka Ii doesn't want to negotiate with China as soon as possible, but that the Chinese side lacks the willingness to negotiate with the Japanese side.

Although Wang Shuhui viewed the relationship between China and Japan at a theoretical level, the government headed by Chen Feng quickly understood Wang's views based on his own position.

In the more than four years since the founding of New China, earth-shaking changes have taken place in New China.

Although the Baath Party is a very young and naïve industrial organization, it is a modern industrial organization after all. This organization, whose core concept was to promote China's industrialization process and establish an industrial China, gained the power to lead China, and after mastering most of China's territory, resources, and population, it immediately exploded into great power after nearly a decade of industrialization accumulation.

By the end of 1637, the steel output of New China had exploded from more than 1.2 million tons in several base areas in 1625 to more than 6 million tons through enterprise replication. Coal mining, because China's main coal producing areas were controlled by the Baath Party after the founding of the People's Republic of China, exploded from more than two million tons in 1625 to more than eight million tons.

In less than five years, the first five-year plan of the Ba'ath Party has been basically completed. More than 170 national key projects have been successfully completed.

Thirty-two railways, two bridges over the Yellow River, and a nationwide arterial highway were built with the efforts of millions of production and construction troops under the leadership of the Baath Party. Six tractor factories and three automobile factories were successfully put into operation.

At the same time as the rapid development of heavy industry, especially under the impetus of the explosive development of the Baath Party's machinery manufacturing industry, various state-owned and private light industry enterprises have sprung up across the country.

The local industrial system, based on the five small industries, was basically established in all regions of the country under the auspices of the local organizations of the Ba'ath Party. The five local small industries and the national key industrial projects were built almost at the same time, complementing each other.

While industrialization was developing in an all-round way, the Baath Party vigorously promoted agricultural development in all regions of the country. Under the strict militarization mode, most of the agricultural production in all regions of the country has entered the stage of industrialized and modernized large-scale agricultural production.

With the establishment of a large number of state-owned farms, a large number of people's communes and small peasants with poor agricultural production conditions who were constantly extracting human resources were eliminated. By the end of 1637, 98 percent of the total grain output of more than 40 million tons in New China was produced by state-run farms that used diesel and steam-powered agricultural machinery, high-quality seeds, pesticides, and chemical fertilizers for large-scale agricultural production.

It can be said that in less than five years, the national industrial and agricultural production system between the first and second industrial revolutions was established by the Baath Party.

Under such circumstances, the primary problem facing China, which has huge productive forces and a large number of industrial products being produced and piled up every day, is no longer the question of how to further increase output, but a very difficult problem of how to effectively digest these large quantities of industrial and agricultural products that have been produced.

Although Baath-led China is now investing in the construction of various large-scale state-level projects every day, and consuming a huge amount of industrial and agricultural products every day, for the Baath Party government, finding a market for those products that are still in the backlog is their main problem at present.

After all, for Wang Shuhui himself, no one expected that the new China, with the rapid development of productive forces, would be able to burst out with such huge power.

Therefore, the problems encountered by China today and those of Britain after the completion of the First Industrial Revolution have both similarities and different supports.

The difference was that Britain, which had completed industrialization at that time, was faced with the problem of relative surplus because of capitalist relations of production. China, which completed its initial industrialization several hundred years earlier, was faced with a real surplus because the level of productive forces was higher than that of Britain at that time, and the production relations were more advanced than those of Britain at that time.

It is only because the present Baathist government is still in a relatively ignorant and immature stage, and has not yet fully mastered the means of effectively digesting such a huge productive force by means of planning.

In this case, the similarity between the two lies in the fact that they both have to face the problem of how to put surplus products into the world market.

The world of the 17th century is not yet the world of the 19th century. The Baathist government of the seventeenth century was not the English government of the nineteenth century either.

17 Although the world of the world began the process of globalization because of the rise of colonialism, because most of the countries and regions on the earth were still in the barbaric stage during this period, the global market had not yet developed.

So the problem that the Baath government faces in this situation is that they must take the initiative to guide most of the countries and regions of the world towards civilization and civilization, and develop the global market with their own hands.

In the face of such a situation that the Baath Party has never encountered before, and in the face of this situation in which Wang Shuhui himself is somewhat ignorant, it is an inevitable phenomenon that the Baath Party government is sluggish and sluggish in all aspects of its policies.

It can be said that the essence of the situation facing Baath China is that Baath China, which has advanced productive forces and advanced production relations and has adopted a social system of state capitalism, has suddenly encountered an economic crisis in the typical sense.

In this case, in fact, Wang Shuhui did not point out to the Baath Party that the old road of primitive colonialism could not be followed, and the Baath government would not follow the old path of primitive colonialism. The leading cadres of the Baath Party government, who already had imperialist tendencies, immediately turned to a higher stage of colonialism and began to wave the banner of "free trade" after rationally realizing that the road of primitive colonialism was not going to work.

Therefore, after communicating with Wang Shuhui, at the national economic conference convened by the Baath government, Chen Feng's foreign economic policy, which was full of the stench of colonialism in the middle stage, led by Chen Feng, "to break the shackles of the feudal system on global free trade on a world scale by all means, to establish a comprehensive, free and open world market, and to bring civilization and progress to the people of all regions of the world", became a three-year economic experiment plan of the Baath Party with the support of the industrial party members in the Ba'ath Party.

Wang Shuhui himself is still a little unclear about the situation at this stage. He felt that in addition to doing some theoretical research, he should also conduct a nationwide investigation and research before deciding on the direction of China's development in the next stage.

Under these circumstances, he felt that it was entirely possible for the members of the Ba'ath Party, who were beginning to mature, to make the next attempt and experiment under the constraints of the organizational principles.

It was for this reason that under the Ba'ath Party's economic experiment plan of "breaking the feudal system on global free trade by all means, establishing a comprehensive, free and open world market, and bringing civilization and progress to the people of all regions of the world," the Foreign Affairs Committee began to formulate a foreign policy aimed at the Japanese state.

Naturally, under this plan, the Tokugawa shogunate, as a feudal government that was extremely resistant to free trade and vainly tried to resist the reactionary government that "the Chinese Empire had brought to the people of the Wa kingdom the civilization and advancement," became an enemy of the Ba'ath Party.

Under these circumstances, when Naotaka Ii, who had waited for more than a month in Tianjin and endured the "humiliation" of health examination and health quarantine, arrived in the Xinjing Special Administrative Region, he was faced with a treaty prepared by the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Chinese Empire, which was full of humiliating and humiliating powers.

The treaty prepared by the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Chinese Empire to the Tokugawa government of the Wa Kingdom stated:

Article 1: Recognition of the just cause of the Japanese people of the Shimabara region and confirmation of the independence of the Shimabara region.

Article 2: Because of the acquiescence of the Wa government to the Satsuma Domain's criminal act of encroaching on the Ryukyus, a vassal state of the Chinese Empire, the Wa government must compensate the Chinese Empire with 19 million taels of silver (one tael per person according to the current population of the Wa Kingdom).

Article 3: The Wa Kingdom ceded the islands of Hokkaido (which the Chinese Empire had been in de facto occupied for six or seven years), Kyushu, and Shikoku to the Chinese Empire.

Article 4: The Wa Kingdom opened Edo, Yokohama, Osaka, Kobe, and Shimonoseki to the Chinese Empire as treaty ports.

Article 5: In order to develop the commerce of the Chinese Empire, the customs of the Japanese Republic were placed under the control of the Chinese Empire.

Article 6: Support and help the Chinese Empire to establish four naval bases and seven garrison bases in the Wa Kingdom (Honshu Island) to maintain public order and order in all parts of the Wa Kingdom.

Article 7: For offending the authority of the Chinese Empire, the puppet emperor of the Wa Kingdom must be sent to China and punished by the Chinese Empire.

Article 8:......

…………

Article 21: The Japanese government shall fully liberalize the missionary and evangelistic work of citizens of the Chinese Empire in all regions of the Japanese Empire.

Naotaka Ii had just stayed for a day at the Diplomatic Hotel in the Xinjing Special Economic Zone, and before he could digest everything about New China, including the train he took from Tianjin to the New Beijing Special Economic Zone, and the endless factories he saw along the way, he was faced with such a huge blow as a brick on the second day.

As a nobleman of the Wa Kingdom, Naotaka Ii's sinology cultivation is quite good. However, when he saw this treaty document written in both Chinese and Japanese, he had no time to explore the many subtle problems he had found in the Chinese and Japanese languages in this treaty, but looked blankly at the cadres of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Chinese Empire sitting across the table.

You must know that Naotaka Ii, who has always thought that he is holding the pulse of China, the heavenly kingdom, could not have imagined that the Chinese Empire would put forward such a completely unimaginable condition, which has never been seen in history, and is completely the meaning of the extinction of the Japanese state. Under such circumstances, let alone asking for the help of the Chinese Empire to the shogunate, the Tokugawa shogunate was now facing a very likely end.

Looking at the words such as land reparations in the treaty, and then seeing the treaty requirements such as the relocation of the entire family of the puppet emperor of the Japanese State to China to serve his sentence, Jing Yi Naotaka's head couldn't turn at all. It was only when the diplomatic cadres of the Chinese Empire proposed to end the first day of negotiations and ask the staff to send Jing Yi Naotaka back to the diplomatic hotel, that Jing Yi Naotaka said angrily in a trembling voice:

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you still remember that there is a sentence in the history books of Shangguo, which is called 'Although Chu has three households, if Qin dies, Chu will die!' ”

Because Naotaka Ii originally had a strong Chinese accent, coupled with his trembling voice, his words made it even more difficult for the cadres of the foreign affairs committees participating in the negotiations to understand what he was talking about.

Because several people immediately got together to analyze what he was talking about after listening to Naotaka Ii's words, the smell of grief and anger and curse in this sentence was very serious. In the end, Zheng Jianqiu, deputy director of the Foreign Affairs Committee, who was the first to find out what Naotaka Jing said, said:

"You, old gentleman, want to figure out history and then quote the scriptures. Whether it is Qin or Chu in your words, they are both feudal regimes that have been destroyed for more than a thousand years. And whether it is Qin or Chu, it is also a state and regime in Chinese history. You are a Japanese national, do you still want to claim to be China? ”

Zheng Jianqiu's words caused a chuckle from several cadres of the Foreign Affairs Committee who participated in the negotiations. Naotaka Ii could not understand the imperialists' contempt for backward countries and regimes, and he did not understand where the joke of his own words was, so he could only simply think that the laughter at the meeting room was the contempt and ridicule of the Chinese for the country.

As an elite member of the Wa Kingdom, Naotaka Jing can certainly objectively judge the huge power gap between the Wa Kingdom and China. If nothing else, the Chinese merchant ship that saved him at sea has no warships and ships comparable to it in the entire Wa country. And such a huge ship and cannon are actually the most common and common small ships in the port of Tianjin in China.

But even the Japanese elite like Naotaka Ii had a serious cognitive limitation. In his view, since ancient times, China has been the strongest, richest, and most advanced country in the entire world. The relationship between China and Asian countries is like that of a rich man and a group of beggars, and if there is only the matter of beggars harassing the rich for profit, how can there be any reason for the rich to exploit the beggars?

Moreover, historically, the relationship between China and Japan has always been on the side of the Japanese state. Whether it was the invasion of the Japanese by the Tang Dynasty, or the invasion of the Ryukyu by the Satsuma Domain a few decades ago, it was always the behemoth that the Satsuma took the initiative to harass China, but unless it was a more serious situation, China would not pay attention to the Japanese at all.

So now Naotaka Ii can't form any effective understanding in the face of this situation that completely subverts common sense.

Of course, as a native of the Japanese country, Naotaka Jing really has a rational understanding of China's strength, but his perception of the Japanese country itself is very irrational.

For him, although he felt angry and incomprehensible in the face of the treaty proposed by the Chinese Empire, and although he was afraid and frightened in the face of the strength of the Chinese Empire, he started from a few special cases, and felt that the Yuan Dynasty, which was unprecedentedly powerful in history, could not land on the Wa Kingdom blessed by the kamikaze, so no matter how powerful the Chinese Empire is, it will definitely not really threaten the Wa State that has been blessed by the kamikaze.

Ii Naotaka, a native of the Wa Kingdom, has never thought about a question, since the Satsuma Domain can be wiped out by the Chinese fleet, since the daimyo can start smuggling trade with China, since the resistance movement of the Wa people in Shimabara can be strongly supported by the Chinese Empire, and since he himself can reach China from the Wa Kingdom, then what is the use of the so-called kamikaze?
