Chapter 227: Japan-Soviet Joint Declaration

When Downing was researching how to shoot a new cartoon with Osamu Tezuka, he suddenly received an order from the quartermaster of the US military base, although this order was coercive, but Downing was very happy about it, because his factory received a large order.

The amount of this order is huge, and it is required to be kept secret, and it must be delivered within the time limit, so the corresponding price also makes Tang Ning very satisfied, as for the whereabouts, Tang Ning glanced at the delivery location, and knew that this must be for Wu Dinh Yan, South Vietnam.

Since 1954, when North Vietnam won a great victory in Dien Bien Phu with the help of China, North Vietnam declared independence and immediately received the support of the Soviet Union and China, in order to confront the Vietminh led by Ho Chi Minh, France was forced to weaken its control over Vietnam, announcing the transfer of power to the last emperor of the Nguyen Dynasty, Bao Da, who needed foreign help to support his Vietnamese state, to compete with the Ho Chi Minh regime, and chose Ngo Dinh Diem in consideration of the prestige of the United States.

With the support of then US President Eisenhower, Ngo Dinh Diem launched a coup d'état in Saigon and established a pro-American dictatorship in South Vietnam.

This incident reminded Downing that although the Korean War had just ended, the Vietnam War would start in four or five years, thinking about the crazy preparations for the arrival of the Korean War, I was afraid that I would miss this opportunity to make a fortune and fight for the independence of the Ryukyus. It's just that I don't think I can take much of it this time, and now that Japan's economy has developed, there are too many places to compete with me.

If memory serves, it was not until 1961 that the U.S. military attacked U.S. warships on the high seas under the pretext of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, and then the U.S. military began to enter Vietnam on a large scale, and the war escalated from then on. At that time, it will be an opportunity to do all kinds of munitions business and sell stocks to make money, and before that, you still need to make corresponding preparations, hoard supplies, hoard stocks, and send people to South Vietnam to see if there is any such thing as Li Weimin (spoof, this is the protagonist of Vietnam 1954, but I feel that the more this book is written, the more the author is constrained. )

Until the end of the year, nothing too big happened, and Tang Ning also had a rare period of rest. By the way, he recuperated his body, during which he went to many hospitals, and generally figured out the cause of his last coma, it turned out that he belonged to a mutation of sleeping sickness, unlike other sleeping patients, he was easy not to get sick, once he got sick, he needed to sleep for a long time, and he had a seizure when he was ten years old. The mischievous Jimmy woke him up with an onion, and the second attack was supposed to be the one he crossed. It seems that it can be deduced from this that in this case, the subconscious control of the body is relatively weak, and it is easy to be affected by the outside world, but no matter how you say it, it is unclear to cross this kind of thing, and the third time is this time. At that time, Jimmy still wanted to use onion therapy, but strangely, Downing actually woke up on his own before he took out the onion.

Although the cause of the disease was barely identified this time, there was no cure, only to reduce fatigue and pay attention to rest. It may be true that the richer and more status a person has, the more precious this life is, anyway, now Tang Ning attaches great importance to his body.

At the end of October, the temperature in Tokyo has begun to get colder, but on this day I don't feel the slightest chill at the Tokyo train station, because there are so many people here, and the strange thing is that although there are many people here, it is very quiet, and no one will deliberately make any sound, even coughing and moving carefully.

These people gathered here for one purpose, to welcome their loved ones, their fathers, brothers, husbands, sons who had returned from the Soviet Union, even though their reputation was not good, because they were all prisoners of war.

Unlike in 1945 and 1946, when the Japanese economy was sluggish and people's livelihood was difficult, and the people in Japan could not find jobs or have enough to eat.

At this time, although the competition for work is also fierce, everyone's life is already very good, at least there is no need to worry about food, so they began to welcome these unlucky people back to China.

Of course, there is also a background to this incident, that is, in October, Japan and the Soviet Union signed the "Japan-Soviet Joint Declaration." After the end of World War II, the Soviet Union did not participate in the 1951 San Francisco Peace Treaty with Japan. After taking office, Japan's Ichiro Hatoyama cabinet worked to restore diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union, so that Japan could return to the international community and avoid the recurrence of war. After many rounds of negotiations, especially on territorial issues, fishery issues, and the repatriation of prisoners of war, the two countries reached a basic consensus, and finally signed this declaration in October 1956.

The declaration put an end to the state of war between the two countries and re-established peace, good-neighborliness and friendly relations between the two countries; the resumption of diplomatic relations between the two countries and the exchange of ambassadors; The two countries affirm that they will abide by the Charter of the United Nations, resolve international disputes by peaceful means, and do not interfere in each other's internal affairs; The Soviet Union supported Japan's entry into the United Nations; The Soviet Union repatriated all Siberian prisoners of war; Negotiate and conclude treaties as soon as possible to develop trade, maritime and commercial relations; The North Pacific Fishing Agreement and the Maritime Distress Rescue Agreement entered into force at the same time; The two countries signed a formal treaty as soon as possible, and after the treaty was signed, the Soviet Union returned the Hamai Islands and Shikotan Islands to Japan.

On December 12 of the same year, the Deputy Foreign Minister of the Soviet Union Nikolai Murphy. Trafimović. Federin and Japanese Foreign Minister Shigemitsu Aoi formally ratified the document at Kasumigaseki in Tokyo, and the declaration officially entered into force.

The Japan-Soviet Joint Declaration cleared the way for Japan to reintegrate into the international community. On December 18 of the same year, Japan officially joined the United Nations as the 80th member state. The following year, Japan, a year after joining the United Nations, was elected a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council. Japan's return to the international community has laid the foundation for Japan's development of foreign trade and economic take-off.

In this context, the Soviet Union returned all Japanese prisoners of war who had worked hard in Siberia, so there was a scene in front of Tokyo Station, and Downing also learned from a prisoner of war how the Soviet Union treated Japanese prisoners of war. (To be continued......)
