Chapter 345: Negotiation is conditional
"Your Majesty, Japan has sent a telegram preparing to send an envoy to Nanhua to admit defeat to us." After Qian Wenxing received the report from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he personally went to Guo Yu to report.
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Guo Yu's face, "The Japanese finally can't hold on, it seems that they are really incomparable with future generations." Guo Yu muttered to himself.
In later generations, Japan was also subjected to indiscriminate bombing by the United States, and suffered equally heavy losses, but it has been gritting its teeth to hold on, and if the United States had not dropped two atomic bombs in the end, it is estimated that the Japanese would have gritted their teeth and persevered.
However, time has changed, and the current Japan is not the Japan of 30 years later, militarism has not yet spread to that sick Cheng DΓΉ, and Japan has not occupied so many places overseas, and there are external resources to replenish it, and the background is really much worse.
The continuous bombing for a month finally made it impossible for Japan to hold on, not to mention the losses, the huge number of victims alone has also overwhelmed the Japanese government, and there are very few disaster relief materials, and the people can only find ways to save themselves, and people have already starved to death.
The Red Party elements in Japan have also seized the opportunity to propagate new ideas in an attempt to subvert the rule of the Japanese emperor and change the day in Japan.
"Sue SΓΉ Dazhu, the bombing campaign against Japan can be slowed down, you are responsible for the initial contact with the other party, put forward our demands, if the other party agrees, you can continue to talk, if you don't agree, then there is no need to talk." Guo Yu commanded.
"Okay, I'll arrange it, and I'll report back to you at any time." After Qian Wenxing reported some other things in China, he took his leave and left.
This month's bombing, the pressure on South China is also very great, and the fuel consumption of the aircraft is a major item, and the greater consumption is ammunition. No less than 500 tons of bombs are used every day, and nearly 4,000 tons of ammunition are used in one bombing of Tokyo at the peak, which is all piled up with money, even if it is produced by itself, the cost is reduced to a minimum. The consumption is also staggeringly terrible.
The ammunition factory is in full swing, plus the original storage capacity of nearly a year, only to see how to cope with the past month, and now the ammunition depot is really bottoming out, and the amount of ammunition produced every day is definitely not enough to supply the speed of bombing, which is also one of the reasons why Guo Yu agrees with the other party to admit defeat.
"They all said that they would spit out what they ate me, and they would give me back what they had taken, and now they have consumed my ammunition. Japan is going to increase war reparations, and I can't afford to pay for it. Guo Yu stood in his office, lit a cigar, and muttered to himself.
The phone on the table rang, Guo Yu picked it up, and it was Xiao Ni calling: "Is the master busy, will you come back for dinner at noon?" β
Guo Yu smiled on his face and said softly. "I'm just done, go back and eat."
Xiao Ni's voice on the other side immediately became happy. "Okay, then I'll let the kitchen prepare your favorite dishes, no, I'm going to take a look, hang up first." As he spoke, he hung up the phone, Guo Yu could imagine. This girl must have gone to the kitchen to supervise in a hurry.
Now Xiaoni is 4 months pregnant, her body has been revealed, the doctor said that the queen is healthy, and the child in her belly is also very good, it seems that this woman who practices martial arts is good. If there is a problem in the province, I will be worried about it for a day.
South China, Prime Minister's Office.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, I'm Kotaro Koizumi, you can call me Koizumi, please take care of me when we meet for the first time." Saying that it was a ninety-degree bow, and the expression was very respectful.
"Mr. Koizumi, don't be polite, no matter what our relationship is now, we Chinese have a saying, those who come are guests, please take a seat." Qian Wenxing didn't get up behind the desk, but just asked the other party to sit down in a flat tone.
"Thank you, Your Excellency, Prime Minister." After speaking, Kotaro Koizumi sat on the sofa, his waist straight, his hands on his knees, and he looked like a subordinate meeting a superior and listening to a lecture.
Qian Wenxing didn't care about the Japanese table, he had already heard his boss Guo Yu say, the Japanese are a very strange nation, and they have infinite worship for the strong, if your strength is not good, how to show humility and courtesy, the Japanese will not look at you squarely, and will trample you under your feet, if you are strong, even if you kill a river of blood in Japan, the other party will be very respectful to you, and even worship you.
Regarding the gap between different nationalities, Qian Wenxing does not want to study it, and it is only right to do his own thing.
"Mr. Koizumi, is there anything going on here?" Qian Wenxing asked knowingly.
"Hi, yes, I am here with a letter from His Excellency the Prime Minister of Japan, and I want to pass it on to Your Excellency, and at the same time request that South China can strike a war with Japan, and the Japanese side requests peace talks, and I am one of the representatives of this peace talks, and I am responsible for the liaison work in the early stage."
After speaking, he took out a new one directly from his pocket, held the envelope in both hands, and handed it to the secretary next to him, Qian Wenxing's secretary took the thin envelope, and after asking Qian Wenxing, he opened it directly, and after checking that it was correct, he handed it to Qian Wenxing to watch again.
Not to mention that Qian Wenxing spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, this is also what Guo Yu has explained, when dealing with the Japanese, you must have three hearts, these guys are not good birds, if one is careless and hurts his own people by the other party, the gains outweigh the losses.
Therefore, there is nothing wrong with being careful, as for whether it is rude or not, it depends on the people who come, and they are not prepared to give the Japanese any face anyway.
The content of the letter was not long, but the words were earnest, first saying that since ancient times, Japan and China have been separated by a strip of water, and Japan has benefited a lot from China, and Japan is still inheriting the culture and customs of many Chinese countries.
The war between Japan and Nanhua was completely caused by misunderstanding, but Japan did make a mistake first, and I hereby ask for the understanding of Nanhuaguo, especially His Majesty Guo Yu.
Now that Japan has suffered heavy losses, it is hoped that South China will stop its military operations against Japan, and Japan is willing to compensate South China for its losses.
In the end, Terauchi Masashi said directly to Guo Yu, hoping that Guo Yu's majesty would give Japan a chance to correct its mistakes and the two sides to reconcile in the spirit of being Asian.
The words in the temple's Masatsui letter should have been carefully considered, what misunderstandings, mistakes, understanding and correction food, two sides repaired, etc., but it is difficult to hide the essence of bowing his head and admitting defeat, and a discerning person can see it at a glance.
Qian Wenxing was funny in his heart, it was this time, and he was still looking for a fig leaf for himself, but he could also understand that if the other party directly wrote that we were wrong, we surrendered, and give us a way to live, it would not be like what the prime minister of a country said.
"We have received the sincerity of the prime minister of the temple, I will forward this letter to His Majesty, as for the next negotiations, we will organize a negotiation team to contact you, but I would like to warn you here that the Japanese side is not the first few months ago, recognize your own position, correct your identity, if the negotiations are still like last time, the Japanese government blindly pulls the strings, then there is no need for negotiations, and the Japanese government still has to accept the retaliation after Nanhua was teased, I am not alarmist, you should know this."
Qian Wenxing's tone was stern when he spoke, his eyes stared at Xiao Quan's eyes, and his body exuded a powerful aura, and Xiao Quan's legs felt sore.
"Hey, I will definitely convey to Your Excellency the Prime Minister, that our Japanese government is sincere in the peace talks this time, and there is no perfunctory intention, please rest assured." Another ninety-degree bow.
After Kotaro Koizumi left, Qian Wenxing took the letter from Zhengyi in the temple and drove directly to the palace, which Guo Yu reported the matter.
Guo Yu read the letter and said with a smile: "Now I still want to save face, failure is failure, no matter how you consider the wording, you can't hide this fact, the Japanese love face more than us Chinese, it can be seen from here." β
"Your Majesty, you see how our terms are going to change." Qian Wenxing asked.
The conditions set forth in the last negotiations now need to be changed in many places as the situation develops, and of course, the reassuring change is naturally to change in the direction that is favorable to South China.
Guo Yu directly picked up a few pieces of paper on the desk and handed them to Qian Wenxing, and said, "I have drawn up a rough outline, and you are revising it according to this outline and the actual situation, but there are a few articles, which the Japanese side must do, otherwise the negotiations can be terminated, and I don't care about spending more money to let the war continue." β
"Your Majesty, please speak." Qian Wenxing said.
"First, Japan must admit defeat in the war, there is no doubt about this, and they will officially announce it to the other side and let their emperor come in person."
"Second, on the basis of the first one, the war reparations will be tripled, and I will drain the blood of Japan, so that they will not be able to develop, and they will always be sick, and this is also the method used by those great powers to deal with the Manchu Qing and the government of the Republic of China, and now Japan should also taste this taste."
"Thirdly, the garrison. Nanhua must obtain a piece of land controlled by Nanhua on the main island of Japan, with an area of no less than 2,000 square kilometers, and now the Yokosuka Military Port is in our hands, which must not be returned, so I belong to Kanagawa Prefecture, you sell your strength, and give me the entire Kanagawa Prefecture. And then we're going to have the navy, the air force and the army there. β
"As for the scale, I will recognize the plan designated by the people of the military department at that time, but I estimate that Japan will have at least one formation, one air force regiment, and no less than 200,000 army troops."
Although Qian Wenxing doesn't care about military affairs, he also knows that the garrison of 200,000 people is half of all the land forces in South China now.
However, this does not matter to him, the government cannot interfere in the affairs of the army, this is a red line, he has no intention of counseling, and His Majesty will naturally take these things into account.
"Fourth, Japan is not allowed to develop its navy and air force, the number of troops is limited to 100,000, Japan's security is the responsibility of South China, the Japanese just need to live their own lives, and let us Chinese do what they worry about."
What's the festival?
This is definitely not Qian Wenxing's heart-wrenching idea, he didn't dare to give birth to such an idea, so he felt that this was a good way to avoid conflicts in the future. (To be continued......)
