Chapter 214: Sino-Japanese Negotiations Next

On December 10, 1933, the delegation headed by Yoyoyo Matsuoka arrived in Shanghai to negotiate an armistice with the Chinese delegation led by Zhou Guolai, the plenipotentiary representative of the Chinese side and vice minister of foreign affairs.

At this time, the new China is no longer the weak, powerless, and bullied country that was weak, powerless, and bullied by others. In the minds of the Chinese, their country has become stronger, and due to the strong rise and iron-blooded reunification of the southwest, New China has ridden the free ride brought about by the great development of the southwest in just two years, and the economic situation is very good.

In the eyes of Westerners, New China's status has also been rapidly improved through a series of border battles, maritime battles, and large corps battles with Britain, France, and other countries. Westerners may be arrogant and have traditional racial discrimination against Orientals, but this does not mean that Westerners are ignorant, on the contrary, they have the unique economic, military and political sense of developed countries, a talent-like Oriental regime, a new regime that has achieved good results both internally and externally, and a non-European and American regime that is undergoing the national industrial revolution will enter their field of vision in any case.

On the contrary, the industrial output value of Yunnan Province, which is reckless in military force, has been surpassed by Yunnan Province in New China, which means that the gap between China and China has begun to widen in an upside down. The little advantage I had accumulated from the Meiji Restoration era was quickly surpassed by the Chinese in less than 20 years. Even if we don't mention the economic indices of resources such as steel, coal and oil, other resources such as textiles, chemicals, machinery, electronics, aviation, etc., are being surpassed rapidly. In terms of shipbuilding, there may be some advantages in total tonnage, but once the first phase of construction is completed in the shipyards that started construction immediately after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the shipbuilding industry, which is backward in production, backward in machinery and equipment, and backward in design concepts and manufacturing technology, will also be quickly surpassed by China.

Many families, unconsciously, have already been made in China to break through the psychological defense, clothing, cosmetics, chemicals, food, beverages, small household appliances, etc., which seem to provide convenience for their own life, but have been taken away huge profits.

The peace talks between China and China have risen from the dispute between the two countries to the point of peace in Asia, and this negotiation has not only attracted the attention of the Chinese media, but also attracted the gathering of many well-known media reporters from all over the world. This is because this is the largest local war in the world that has not yet ended.

The 10-storey Wanguo Hotel on the banks of the Huangpu River in Shanghai is the largest modern hotel in Shanghai today. In the eyes of foreigners, perhaps this hotel should be renamed Universal Hotel, because its English name is "theearth". In fact, this is a new hotel chain that was born less than 1 year, the full name is the global hotel group, the parent company behind it is Shusheng company, as part of the "global China" plan, in the expectation, this "international hotel" will be all over the world in the future, and the "global beauty chain sales group" and "Yijia International", McDonald's, KFC and other global chain companies, blossoming and bearing fruit all over the world.

On the first day of the negotiations, the entrance of the Wanguo Hotel was surrounded by reporters from all over the world, until the negotiators from both sides came to the Wanguo Hotel, and the atmosphere reached the most **.

Since the International Hotel is located on the Bund, not far from the old British embassy in Shanghai, many reporters even went there to take a group photo, ready to use it as a press release to ridicule the British Empire.

"China says that the two countries are separated by a strip of water, and we came to China with the desire to resolve disputes and differences and move towards peace together."

At the Sino-Chinese joint press conference, Hiroshi Matsuoka, the plenipotentiary of the talks, always answered patiently with a smile when he was surrounded by reporters.

"May I ask Mr. Yoyo Matsuoka, what do you think about this negotiation, the countries are not optimistic about this negotiation?"

"I believe that the friendship between China and the two countries will speak for itself."

Zhou Guolai stood aside, smiling, but his heart was full of disdain, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and armed expatriates in Shenyang were still under siege, and they were singing about friendship here, and it should be hatred in China.

"May I ask Vice Minister Zhou, what are your special expectations for this peace negotiation?"

A British Mirror reporter asked.

Zhou Guolai waved his hand and said to the reporters with a unique smile: "China and the two countries are indeed countries of friendship, which can be seen from the Tang Dynasty. Of course, there were some disputes during this period, but as the head of the Chinese negotiating delegation, I believe that the political axe and the people will bravely shoulder the responsibility for the defeat and prove their desire for peace with concrete actions. ”

Hearing Zhou Guolai's words, the eyes of Matsuoka Yoshimi next to him were about to squint together, but his heart was about to drip bitterly.

"Vice Minister Zhou, in the economic edition of Huaxia Bao on December 3, there is a data that caught my attention. According to the preliminary statistics released by the Ministry of Statistics, a number of industrial indicators in Yunnan Province exceeded the economic indicators released by the government during the same period. What is your opinion on this? ”

Zhou Guolai waved his hand and said, "Comrade reporter, I have a specialization in the art industry, and I think it's best to keep this question for the Minister of Statistics and the Minister of Commerce next time." As a civil servant of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I am a layman. However, as a Chinese, I am still happy to see such a large economic province appear. Especially for the political axe, this is also a good thing. Just now, Special Envoy Matsuoka Yoyoukai also said that China is said to be a strip of water, and the more developed China's economy is, the more Ben can benefit. ”

"Special Envoy Yoshiki Matsuoka, according to a report by the Yomiuri Shimbun, which has returned to Japan, there are nearly 300 factories and companies in the vicinity of the Tokyo area, so what do you think about this economic event?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. reporter from the German newspaper, as Vice Minister Zhou said just now, I am a layman on this issue, hehe......"

Everyone can see that although Yoyo Matsuoka has a shy smile on his face the whole time, everyone can see the bitterness and embarrassment behind that smile.

Some of the reporters present even thought of the headline of the evening newspaper or tomorrow's newspaper: "Bo Xishan!" ”

Although both sides attach great importance to the talks, it is extremely difficult for the two sides to reach an agreement on the issues raised by each side, and the three days of negotiations have yielded no results.

While the Western world is sitting and watching the negotiations, and the Chinese people around the world are waiting and watching, some people are anxious, or rather, some people are anxious.

Taiwan, Taipei Xizhi Public School on April 17, 1895, because of the defeat of the Manchu Qing in the First Sino-Japanese War, it is said that this savagely seized the treasure island of Taiwan, and it has been more than 38 years since the end of 1933. During these 40 years or so, he practiced genocidal slavery education in Taiwan. Xi said that the literature class, sang the generation of the king, implemented the ritual ceremony, and instilled a colonial mentality in the Taiwanese people.

Compared with the brutal rule of the invaders over Taiwan, this kind of enslaving education is even more terrifying, and a considerable number of Taiwanese, especially young people, take pride in studying in Taiwan, speak the language, practice the etiquette, and even return home to do what they say. This is a naked act of genocide that attempts to spiritually and culturally eradicate the Chinese imprint of the Taiwanese people.

"Class!"

When Teacher Yue Wen finally announced the end of the class, the students finally ended this extremely difficult lesson.

However, not all students are happy with this kind of slave education, but many people are afraid and uneasy about learning this kind of thing that their parents say that their ancestors can be angry to death. Perhaps, these elementary school students are not as thoughtful as middle school students or even college students, but they know that when they come home from what they study all day, their parents and relatives can't understand a word, and they never say such babbling nonsense.

However, some people are just the opposite, under the ideological indoctrination of the elders in the family, they have a good impression of the political axe, and they work extremely hard to learn the book of the book.

Most of these people are Taiwanese civil servants or the upper class, and they tend to rule in the name of the people, and they are accustomed to maintaining the rule of the book, and they actively encourage future generations to study the language and culture.

"Class!"

When some students saw that the teacher was gone, they immediately threw away their bullshit Chinese textbooks, and they didn't care about their so-called homework, so they wanted to run home.

"You, how can you do this. I'll file a complaint with Mr. Fujii. ”

A little kid with a hat stopped the other classmates and angrily accused.

"Lee Teng-hui, don't bully us just because we have a teacher, my father said that we won't have to take damn Chinese language classes in the future."

A 12-year-old boy was so angry that he pushed away Lee Teng-hui, who was wearing a hat and dressed as a child. This guy usually relies on the teacher to bully his classmates, always takes himself seriously, and bullies his classmates. Although he is only less than 12 years old, he is a little ghost.

"You guys, don't talk nonsense, be careful I go tell Fujii-sensei." Lee Teng-hui's face was furious, and he remembered that his father, who worked in the police station, had taught him that he should respect himself, and that he had guided Taiwan's economic development in Taiwan, and that without him, Taiwan would not even be as good as Africa, and his children would not be able to go to school, let alone eat.

"Lee Teng-hui, you are not relying on your father to do things with you. Now who doesn't know that he was defeated. ”

Although these children are only 11 or 12 years old, they are relatively precocious nowadays, especially some things that have been rumored for a long time and students have heard from their parents. The news of Ben's defeat became a well-known event as early as the promotion of mainland agents and Taiwan's underground activists.

"You, you talk nonsense......"

Lee Teng-hui wanted to refute, scold them, and even beat them, but he did not dare, because he found that those who were usually afraid of him had now become menacing.

He didn't allow others to scold Teacher Yueben, let alone disrespect him. In his mind, Yuben is a sacred country full of cherry blossoms, and he not only has to learn kendo and judo, but he will also have to study abroad sooner or later, how can he allow these people to slander him.

"I'll go back to my father, and he'll be able to convince these people." In his opinion, his father, who can do things for himself and make the neighbors scared, is tall and majestic.

When he returned home, Lee Teng-hui saw his father, Li Jinlong, talking about things with many people in the house, and he pushed the door in by himself, which startled them.

"Father, they said that we can't learn Chinese in school anymore, woo woo......"

When he saw too many people, Lee Teng-hui did not dare to say more, but just cried with a single sentence.

Syllable!

Lee Teng-hui's father, Li Jinlong, turned extremely ugly on the spot, slapped him in the face, and angrily reprimanded: "Bastard, who told you to listen to those people who have no tutor talk nonsense, Taiwan is very safe, and it is natural to learn literature classes." ”

Lee Teng-hui was slapped in the face, but instead of crying, because of his father's categorical answer, he burst into tears and laughed and went back to write his homework.

In fact, when he was more than 11 years old, he didn't quite understand the difference between Yueben and China, he only knew that he grew up in Taiwan and was full of yearning for Yueben, where he had his own longing for culture, yearning for cherry blossoms, and longing for universities...... My father is great, since my father said it, then it must be right, it was those classmates who lied to people, and I will tell the teacher tomorrow.

"Brother Li, what to do, now even those damn little children know. What did I say? "Several men, all of whom looked ruthless, wore black police hats, bulging waists, and wooden sticks.

It seems that these people are all Li Jinlong's colleagues, police officers of the police department under the local administrative organs in Taipei.

"My attitude is very vague, I went to ask Chief Fukuda in the morning, and he just asked me to control the law. Just don't make a big deal happen. Li Jinlong shook his head and said with some discouragement, these words, folk rumors are becoming more and more rampant, yesterday he said that he was going to surrender, today he said that the mainland is going to fight, and tomorrow it may be rumored that the mainland's army has gone ashore.

As the head of the police team appointed by him, Li Jinlong has his own worries, he has done too many things to oppress his compatriots, he has taken a lot of money, and there are a lot of lives in his hands.

"Brother Li, this can't be done. If I do surrender, what will we do? ”

These police officers, who usually bully Chinese compatriots with their own power, are now worried.

"It seems that I can only act in one drama and force me not to agree to the mainland's conditions." As the head of the police, Li Jinlong has not many ghost ideas, and he quickly thought of a solution, "We only need to ......"

On December 14, 1933, when the Chinese negotiating team formally proposed at the negotiating table that the recovery of Taiwan be one of the terms of negotiation, the whole of Taiwan was boiling.

More than 30 years of enslaving rule have not been able to dispel the Chinese hearts of millions of Taiwan people, and even under the threat of bayonets and guns, the Taiwan people have not only carried out many uprisings, but also often staged demonstrations and rebellions. Although these rebellions were bloodily suppressed by the Japanese army stationed in Taiwan, the puppet army, and the puppet police, they were like a high-pressure pot, and the greater the pressure, the more likely it was to explode.

Although Taiwan has always been plagued by many disasters and difficulties, it has always been a sacred and inalienable part of China and a sacred territory of China.

When the news of the mainland's proposal to recover Taiwan was personally confirmed from Vice Minister Zhou Guolai, the entire Taiwan people fell into a huge surprise.

39 years is a time that can turn a baby into a middle-aged person. 39 years, this is a time that can turn teenagers into gray-haired old men. 39 years is a long enough time for one to turn all patriotism into hatred.

At the time of the news, the people of Taiwan held demonstrations on an unprecedented scale, especially in Taipei, which reached a huge scale of 100,000 people.

"Say I'm going back!"

"Return to the mainland!"

"Punish the Han and oppose the rule of slavery!!"

…… On the streets of Taipei, nearly 100,000 Taiwanese people held all kinds of protest slogans and marched along the main road until they came to the front of the pseudo-police station.

When they saw the heavily armed Chinese, but wearing police uniforms issued by Yu Kou, holding batons, pistols, and even Type 38 rifles, aiming at the procession with great vigour, the Taiwan people marching were immediately angry.

"Down with the Han Stooge!!"

"I'd rather die than be a slave!!"

"Down with the Han Stooge!!"

…… In front of the police station, there were not only more than 200 pseudo-policemen, but even a gendarmerie with machine guns to support, and in the face of the unprecedented anger of the Chinese, Yue himself was also panicked. However, perhaps because of the ongoing negotiations, the troops who received strict orders did not dare to take the initiative to open fire.

At this time, a policeman in the police crowd was lowering his hat, not who was Li Jinlong, but after he nodded four times to a corner of the demonstrator crowd, the man finally raised his hand, holding a grenade in his hand.

After seeing Li Jinlong's nod, he leaned back slightly with the grenade in his hand, and then threw it violently into the crowd of policemen.

The grenade swirled and flew into the crowd of pseudo-police officers in the blink of an eye.

"Boom!" With an explosion, the flying shrapnel swept down seven or eight pseudo-policemen.

However, before the Taiwanese people celebrated the death of a few Han anniversaries, I saw that Li Jinlong raised the pistol in his hand and shouted: "The mob has thrown bombs, everyone shoot quickly!" ”

"Bang ......"

Suddenly a dense burst of gunfire rang out on the otherwise peaceful streets, and the entire police and military at the entrance of the puppet police station were firing at the people of Taiwan with all kinds of ordnance.

The dense crowd, because of the Han annihilation lackeys, and because of his own cruelty, quickly caused a lot of casualties.

"Run, run......!!"

The unarmed Taiwanese people, where would they have thought that things would become so chaotic.

The next day, the chief of the Taipei Police Department asked Yue himself for instructions that the situation in Taiwan was unstable and that it was not appropriate to be the object of negotiations, and that it was advisable to maintain the status quo.

At the negotiating table, citing the unstable situation in Taiwan, he demanded that the dispute be shelved for the time being and that the Taiwan issue be put to a later date.

Immediately, the news of the Taipei tragedy in Taipei soon spread to the mainland, the entire Chinese world, and Western countries. This is a tragic bloody case, a tragic case initiated by Han Jian and the lackeys in collusion with him.

One day after the negotiations were urgently suspended, the next day, Zhou Guolai, on behalf of the central authorities, conveyed a statement to the negotiators that the Taiwan issue must be one of the fundamentals of any negotiations. If the Taiwan issue is not well resolved, the DPRK issue will also not be 'well resolved.'"

If the negotiation cannot solve the problem, China's political axe will send troops to land in Taiwan in the shortest possible time to completely resolve this big unresolved issue.

The difficult negotiations and the heart-wrenching death of the compatriots have forced the political axe of New China to the most correct path, that is, to maintain loyal rule at home and implement an iron-blooded policy abroad.

The strength of five divisions quickly began to assemble in Fujian!

The aircraft carrier task force dispatched a detachment headed by the Hanjing to the south and rushed to the Taiwan Strait. Several airfields near the coast in Fujian are on combat duty throughout the day, ready to launch air strikes at any time.

"The Taiwan issue must be resolved as quickly as possible, and if political negotiations cannot resolve it, we will use force, saying that we will not be able to achieve the climate and take the initiative to hand it over, so we will personally land and get it."

This was Zhang Shusheng's personal reprimand to the party, government, and military officials, and it was extremely harsh, and although it did not go into a long speech, it showed the tough attitude that the new Chinese political axe would adopt toward the generals. At the same time, military operations to liberate Taiwan are also being rapidly prepared.

In response to the Taipei massacre, the Chinese side immediately carried out punitive actions, and in just three days, eight of the trading ships on the sea were sunk, two were captured, the loss of ships reached 100,000 tons, the ships were sunk, and more than 1,000 seafarers were all imprisoned.

The massacre staged by Li Jinlong and others in conjunction with other Han anniversaries caused a far cry from his expectations. In his opinion, he was powerful, and as long as he used the pretext of unstable public order, he could prevaricate the mainland's political axe. However, the fact is that in this tragic demonstration, dozens of students and workers exchanged their precious lives for an accelerated solution to the Taiwan issue.

Under internal and external persecution, this time he was not able to take advantage of the tragic ride in Taipei to obstruct negotiations on the Taiwan issue, as they often do, but instead accelerated the pace of Taiwan's return.

After a month of negotiations, in the spring of 1934, China and the two countries finally reached the basic terms of peace talks, which were two very important items: 1. As a defeated country, Ben should pay a huge amount of war reparations as compensation. However, considering the economic situation that is about to go bankrupt, Zhou came to secretly say that these resources can be exchanged for resources of the same level or better.

On 15 January 1934, China and China formally signed an armistice agreement, and on the basis of several important articles made public, the two sides also signed a special agreement on the Taiwan issue.

Other agreements aside, in this special issue agreement, the Chinese government promised to withdraw all overseas Chinese and citizens from Taiwan within two months, and to arrest the murderers behind the scenes and hand them over to the Chinese government for trial.

Taiwan will be returned to China in an orderly manner.
