Chapter 472: Six Conditions

At present, China is the dominant party, and Hu Weidong, who was appointed as the head of the Red Party delegation, unceremoniously first set out the conditions for peace, which mainly have six points: First, return to China the island of Taiwan, the Penghu Islands, the Diaoyu Islands, and other affiliated islands occupied during the First Sino-Japanese War; Second, hand over the war criminals who invaded China to China for public trial; (iii) war reparations; Fourth, the Japanese Army was reduced to 100,000 men and the reserve system was abolished; 5. Independence of Korea and the Ryukyus; Sixth, the Japanese authorities must promise not to persecute the Japanese Communist Party and other left-wing figures, to give them due freedom of publication, propaganda, association, and so on, and to abandon the long-term national policy centered on aggression and expansion.

As a result, the Japanese representative blew up as soon as he heard this, and immediately walked away in disregard of diplomatic etiquette. Taking the first article as an example, Taiwan has been occupied by Japan for more than 40 years, its rule is quite stable, and there have been considerable achievements in industrial and agricultural construction over the years, so how can the Japanese be willing to return Taiwan to China? Moreover, China now has no ability to forcibly cross the Taiwan Strait to occupy the island of Taiwan, and what it cannot get on the battlefield wants to be obtained at the negotiating table, do the Chinese think that the current Japanese government is the Manchu government of China in those years?

It is even more impossible to punish war criminals, whose list of war criminals is almost entirely made up of powerful figures in the Japanese regime, so how could they agree to send themselves to the gallows? Moreover, it will be handed over to China for public trial, which is really too shameless, and with Japan's unique "culture of shame", they will never accept this condition unless they are on the verge of destroying the country

In terms of war reparations, it should be said that Hu Weidong is quite kind. Instead of slapping his head and drumming up a figure of $50 billion in economic losses like the government in history, he estimated in a very short period of time that even the great powers could hardly question the loss data of more than $1.76 billion (this time and space because the devils lost too quickly, China's losses were much smaller than in history), plus China's additional military spending for the War of Resistance (although the duration of the War of Resistance was much shorter than in history, However, because the size of the Red Party's army and the level of weaponry and equipment were far from being comparable in history, the military expenditure was much more than the total military expenditure in the eight years of the War of Resistance in history. Combined with casualties and psychological trauma, the total amount of compensation is still in the tens of billions of dollars, which even Japan in its heyday cannot afford. Not to mention the Japanese government, which is now bankrupt and relies on U.S. support to maintain its situation

It is also worth mentioning. When Hu Weidong calculated military spending, he converted the labor that was not counted in the internal accounting according to the market price, and he also established a principle, "Under the Jihua economic model, labor is indeed not money, at least it is quite cheap." But in foreign-related economic exchanges. But it must be counted. Because people are not in our system and have not paid the corresponding price, how can they be allowed to take advantage of it for nothing? ”。 As a result, New China later avoided many economic losses caused by low pricing in history, and the pricing standard is the average of the labor prices of the two countries, which in most cases is roughly equivalent to slightly more than half of the labor prices of the other party, and the advantage of cost performance still exists.

After all, Japan has lost almost all of its land on land, and it is completely unnecessary to maintain a huge army, and it is better to devote limited military spending to the building of the navy and aviation units. Of course, the Central Military Department, the highest power of the Japanese Army, will certainly not agree, but in the face of the unanimous opinion of all other shili in Japan, it is difficult for the Japanese Military Department, which is now much less powerful than before, to reject public opinion.

However, the abolition of the reserve system would be too ruthless, and it would be difficult for Japan to bear the huge losses of a full-scale war, and if it really did so, let alone aggression and expansion, it would be difficult to guarantee even the security of Japan itself, after all, once Japan was invaded by a powerful country, a mere 100,000 army would not be enough anyway, and if there was no large number of reserve soldiers who could be put into the battlefield with a little training, Japan would really be ruined. Therefore, the Japanese side can only partially accept this condition proposed by Hu Weidong

The independence of Korea and the Ryukyus is also difficult for Japan to accept, among which Korea has been occupied by the People's Liberation Army, China really wants to let it become independent, and the Japanese who have lost their elite army have nothing to do for a while, but the Chinese actually demand that Okinawa, an important naval base that is still under Japanese control, become independent, which is too deceitful

However, after careful examination, many of the six conditions are negotiable, but Hu Weidong is unwilling to make the slightest concession on the Taiwan issue, and the Japanese authorities are unwilling to return Taiwan, which the Chinese obviously cannot defeat and is of great significance to Japan, so this negotiation naturally cannot be carried out.

In order to exert pressure on the Red Party, the Japanese Navy's Command Department, relying on the United States to provide various supplies, ordered the main fleet of the Chinese Navy Task Force to temporarily abandon its original mission and go north to attack the weakly fortified ports along China's coast (i.e., all the port cities in the liberated areas except for the four cities of Qingdao, Shanghai, Dalian, and Lushun). As a result, the losses of personnel and industry have been greatly reduced, but relying on the sea is one of the most favorable conditions for economic development, and simply taking the initiative to give up this advantage is already a great loss

For this reason, some of the more sensible people (both inside and outside the party) could not help but complain a lot about the negotiation work for which Hu Weidong was responsible, and they believed that since China was completely unable to completely defeat Japan at present, it was better to make appropriate concessions in the negotiations first, and it would not be too late to settle accounts with the Japanese after domestic reunification and China's national strength became stronger. Now China and Japan have maintained a state of war, resulting in millions of elite troops of the People's Liberation Army being held back by Japan indefinitely (mainly to prevent the Japanese army from landing on the eastern coast), and the country's precious money, food and materials are consumed in vain. What's more, now that due to the strong support of the United States, Japan's domestic economy has gradually begun to recover, and we are fighting with the United States instead of Japan. Not to mention the distance between the world and the earth in industry, even compared with resources, China is a big difference compared with the United States, both in terms of total amount and comprehensiveness, as for the per capita, the gap is no less than ten times, not to mention that now under the control of the Red Party, it is only half of China (to be continued......
