Although he returned to Shenyang on the same plane as Guo Bingxun, when Guo Bingxun left, Yang Zhen, who had already rushed to Harbin to negotiate with the Soviets, was unable to go to the airport to see him off. Only Gao Yumin www.biquge.info, director of the Political Department of the Military Region, and Wang Xiaoming, the new chief of staff of the Military Region, went to the airport to see off Guo Bingxun, who had first gone to Beiping to report to the Central Military Commission.

Just when Guo Bingxun was at Shenyang Dongta Airport, he left on his own special plane specially sent by Yang Zhen. Yang Zhen was in Harbin, where he was engaged in arduous negotiations with Marshal Vasilevsky, commander-in-chief of the Soviet Far East, who had come to his door to ask for guilt.

For Yang Zhen's hand, the Soviets showed surprising anger. Not only the two military districts of the Far East and Baikal have entered full combat readiness. On the Western Front, the recovery operation was also stopped, and the three front armies, plus two tank armies, and two air force armies, were quickly transferred to the Sino-Soviet border and to the territory of Outer Mongolia.

The super-large-scale mobilization of Soviet troops and the heavy concentration of troops in the Far East also brought great pressure to the central government. But for Yang Zhen, the more frequent the movement of the Soviet army, the less of a threat to himself it actually was. Regarding the report of the surveillance post on the border line, Yang Zhen just smiled.

What really gave Yang Zhen the greatest confidence in the negotiations was the progress of Du Kaishan's actions in Japan. Sui Changqing commanded the first wave of two divisions to land on planes, seizing Kure Port, Yokosuka, and Sasebo, the main shipbuilding and ship bases of the Japanese Navy.

In the shortest possible time, the resistance of the die-hard elements of the Japanese Navy and the garrison army was broken, and the remnants of the Japanese Navy stored in these ports were controlled. Tons of information on various types of Japanese Navy ships in several shipyards, together with the seized shipbuilding engineers and skilled workers in several shipyards, were immediately sent to planes and transported back to Tohoku.

At the same time, Sui Changqing organized shipyard workers to repair and float the Japanese Navy ships in Kure Harbor that were either sunk or half-sunk by the US Navy. Of course, these floating ships were all named by the headquarters first. As for the light ships that were bombed, capsized, or sunk, there was no need to rush to repair them.

At this time, the port of Kure has become a ruin of steel after many large-scale air raids by the US military with carrier-based aircraft. With the exception of a few ships, most of them were bombed, sunk or capsized in and out of the harbor. When Sui Changqing first arrived in Wu Harbor, he was also shocked by the dense wreckage and ruins of ships in the port.

Fortunately, although the Japanese navy in Kure Harbor no longer has the ability to go to sea, the various base teams under Kure Zhenshou are still intact. The vast majority of the technical backbone on the ground has been retained. Although the Kure Port Naval Shipyard was recruited to serve in the army, the technicians were retained.

Although it is located in Hiroshima, it is still far from the core of the atomic bomb and has not been affected by nuclear radiation. Moreover, the Japanese after surrendering were exceptionally docile, and after Sui Changqing forcibly suppressed the resistance and detained all the senior officers of Wu Zhenshoufu, the Japanese in Wu Gang were very honest. So after Sui Changqing arrived, the operation was carried out quickly.

After Yu Guang commanded the arrival of the anti-coalition personnel of the Soviet Pacific Fleet, all the ships that could be controlled were driven to North Korea as soon as possible. All submarines were transported away as soon as they were in port. Of course, those suicide boats, the Anti-United Nations will never want them.

And the ships that float up take one away. If it really can't float in a short time, an engineer unit will be sent to carry out a thorough blasting. According to Yang Zhen's order, within a week, all the warships and civilian ships in Japan's ports must be transported back to China as long as they can sail.

Similar operations were carried out at the same time as Sasebo and Yokosuka, and all the active ships were removed. If it can't be removed, the equipment that can be disassembled is dismantled, and the shells of the naval guns in the ground warehouse are piled up and detonated on the spot. The technical personnel of the navy, as well as the instructors of the university, were all arrested as war criminals and transported back to the northeast in transport planes.

Several naval shipyards, all the equipment and inventory parts had to be shipped away. All the equipment that could not be transported, including the dock, was blown up. As for the collection and destruction of weapons in Japan, no one cares about it at all, except for cars. According to Yang Zhen's orders, as long as the Japanese did not resist, the Japanese troops on the ground would ignore them, and let the disarming of the US army do.

So the Japanese soldiers, who were fully loaded, watched the personnel of the Anti-Japanese Federation act separately. They wanted to hand in their weapons, but were told that the war was over, and they were told to store them in the barracks and wait for the Americans to receive them. As for themselves, what to do, the Chinese side does not have time to care about them.

However, Du Kaishan and Sui Changqing, who lacked manpower, also recruited a considerable number of laborers in Japan to assist them in their work at the cost of having enough food and three Japanese military blankets per person. As for the neat piles of light and heavy weapons inside and outside the Japanese army, no one took a look at them.

Du Kaishan and Sui Changqing made full use of the time difference before the arrival of the US troops, and did not pay attention to the US advance personnel to stop them. In this short period of time, all the ships on the Japanese mainland, as long as they could move and float in a short time, were brought back to Japan.

Among the first ships to return to Port Arthur was the Katsuragi, the only remaining medium-sized aircraft carrier of the Japanese Navy. The ship was only a flight deck that was destroyed and lost the ability to take off and land, but the hull was an intact aircraft carrier, and it was towed back to the northeast before the arrival of the large US troops.

The carrier did not return alone, and when it was towed back, it still had a production aircraft of the Galamour, the last carrier-based aircraft available for aircraft carriers in the Japanese Navy, and a complete set of drawings for the fighter and the ship. There are also jet engines developed by the Japanese, as well as prototypes and drawings of their jet fighters.

Of course, the equally intact Hayabusa, the only intact aircraft carrier of the Japanese Navy, Hosho, was also towed back to Port Arthur. Two days after the ships returned to Tohoku, the last battleship of the Japanese Navy, and the only remaining battleship, the Nagato, plus spare gun barrels and some spare main engines, also arrived at Port Arthur one after another. The arrival of these ships gave Yang Zhen the confidence to negotiate with the Soviets.

Du Kaishan, who landed as the second echelon, seized 13 coastal defense ships here, as well as a large number of landing ships and various work ships, as soon as he went ashore at Maizuru Naval Base. Relying on the personnel returning from the Soviet Pacific Fleet, Du Kaishan took the lead in activating the oil tankers and landing ships among these ships, and quickly returned to the port of Busan to transport the oil stored there to Japan.

Du Kaishan also has no choice, the remaining fuel of the entire Japanese Navy ships is only enough to get those large ships back. The remaining part of the ships is already oil-free. Du Kaishan first activated these ships and brought back the fuel hoarded in the ports of Busan and Ulsan before he could bring back the remaining ships that were still active in the Japanese Navy.

In order to get back the remaining ships of the Japanese Navy as soon as possible, the situation that its own forces are not enough to meet the needs. Du Kaishan still took the army on the ship, and controlled some Japanese sailors to directly drive their ships back to Lushun and Tianjin ports. The remaining torpedo boats, sea sweepers, and anti-submarine ships headed directly to the ports of Busan and Ulsan.

But regardless of the speed of Du Kaishan's actions in Japan, the battleship Nagato and the aircraft carrier Katsuragi returned first gave Yang Zhen the confidence to negotiate with the Soviets. After a month of lengthy negotiations, the Soviets finally chose to accept the two spoils of war after learning that the Americans continued to offer olive branches to the Chinese side.

Among the Soviet Navy ships seized at the same time, the Union agreed to return one heavy cruiser, two light cruisers, and five destroyers. The remaining ships were bought at half price using gold as a means of payment. Part of the funds was offset by two large ocean-going submarines of the newest type of the Japanese Navy seized by the Anti-Japanese Union, as well as a new submarine handed over to Japan by Germany.

In fact, after the Anti-Union robbed the Soviet naval ships in the Baltic Sea, they kept refueling at the US naval base on the way home. The Black Sea Fleet was also mediated by the Americans, and the Turkish side only allowed it to go, and the Soviets suspected that the Americans were playing tricks in it.

At present, in order to prevent these ships from falling into the hands of the Soviets, the Americans are constantly increasing their promises. Moreover, the fact that the US bomber unit stationed in North Manchuria had not been transferred out of the northeast for a long time after the war against Japan had ended, all made the Soviets suspect that the Americans were making a big fuss here. So after Yang Zhen came up with a quid pro quo, the Soviets finally chose to agree.

When the Soviet Union transferred to the Far East three fronts of the army was transferred one after another, the exchange was completed at the Arthur naval base. Several ships, handed back to the Soviets, were picked up by sailors sent by the Soviets. The battleship Nagato and the aircraft carrier Katsuragi of the Japanese Navy, which were handed over, were also handed over to the Soviet side.

The Soviets gave up their case against the United Nations and agreed to sell all German-made torpedo boats to the Chinese side and sell German torpedoes captured in eastern Germany. The Soviets obtained all the drawings of the Boeing 307 from the Anti-Japanese Alliance, and in exchange for the Soviets transferred the latest Il-12 transport aircraft technology that had just been put into production.

At the end of the negotiations, the Soviets also withdrew most of their forces in the Far East. However, two army groups were always retained, and a reinforced tank army was also stationed in Outer Mongolia. Obviously, the leader of the Soviet Union was already quite uneasy about Yang Zhen, who had repeatedly hacked them. After finally agreeing to Yang Zhen's quid pro quo, he also left a considerable part of his backhand.

After the ships rushed back from Japan arrived at the ports of Lushun, Tianjin, Huludao, and Qingdao one after another, Yang Zhen made a special trip back to Beiping and made a report to the central authorities. Although he was very dissatisfied with Yang Zhen's action, the matter had been basically resolved, and the central government did not say anything.

The central authorities believed that Yang Zhen could take advantage of the fact that he had already taken the southern part of Korea and directly chose to receive the Japanese naval ships, and there was no need to get into such a situation with the Soviet side. Most of the Japanese Navy's ships in Singapore were seriously wounded. With China's current technological capabilities, it simply cannot afford to repair it.

Moreover, such a large-scale ship is also a considerable burden for the base area. It is not that the central authorities do not agree with the establishment of a navy, but the current domestic political and economic situation simply cannot support so many ships. Even if it is brought back, it will not be of much use.
