Chapter 745: Barton is crazy

Although the Japanese-Americans who went out with weapons basically had no military training and no actual combat experience, when these tens of thousands of people targeted American civilians and launched attacks, the US military and police were still anxious for a while. Moreover, this sudden upheaval further intensified the anti-Japanese sentiment in the United States, and the remaining Japanese concentration camps were widespread in organized massacres, resulting in the death of a large number of Japanese Americans. Barton

In 1932, Patton personally led a team to suppress the collective salary veterans of the United States, among whom were Patton's colleagues, subordinates and even life-saving benefactors, but Patton did not hesitate to draw his horse and draw his sword to take the lead in slashing, causing many deaths and injuries. Leading the team to suppress can be explained as an indisobedient fate, but Patton, who was already an important general of the US army at the time, actually went into battle as an executioner, which can only be attributed to his character flaws, and similar things have happened more than once in Patton's life

In this time and space, due to the almost healable psychological trauma in North Africa, his character became far more violent than in history, when the concentration camp he was responsible for guarding showed signs of instability, Patton immediately reacted aggressively, using a number of heavy machine guns to "clear the trouble", as a result, more than 7,000 people were killed on the spot, and more than 1,000 were seriously injured, and finally more than 90% of the Japanese Americans and Japanese overseas Chinese detained in the largest Japanese American concentration camp in the United States at that time died in this tragedy

And what's worse. A Chinese journalist came to the camp to interview Patton for the purpose of revealing scars and jokes, and he was able to witness the massacre. Although this reporter was not of good character, his brain was not stupid, and he sent the general situation back to the newspaper office through the radio as soon as the tragedy occurred, and although Patton reacted quickly to kill him, the news spread quickly. For a time, public opinion in Shijie countries was in an uproar, and the Chinese Foreign Ministry strongly protested and condemned the US government and demanded that it hand over the murderer

However, the U.S. military, which has always protected calves, tried to protect Patton and was under pressure from them. Roosevelt couldn't really give China an account for Patton's death. After all, it was still in the middle of the war, and Roosevelt did not think that China would change its policy toward the United States for the sake of the life of a single journalist, so in the end Barton escaped punishment on the grounds of "mental illness".

However, Roosevelt underestimated the strong national pride of the first leaders of New China, such as Taizu, although they tended to show realism when their strength was weak. But in their bones they are more idealistic. Today, China is still lacking in industrial and naval strength. It can't directly threaten the United States, but does the United States dare to attack China? Not to mention the vast sea of the people's war, those thousands of land-based aircraft alone are enough to discourage the US Navy, which now has no fleet aircraft carriers. And even if you can't retaliate directly against the United States. You can also borrow a knife to kill people!

Soon after, China announced the conclusion of a new peace treaty with Japan, and the Chinese Government, taking into account that the Japanese people were also victims of the war, agreed to give up the part of the war reparations that Japan had not yet paid. Although the Japanese government has in fact stopped paying compensation long ago, it is still of great significance to make such a public statement. On the one hand, the Japanese government no longer needs to worry that the Chinese government will suddenly start a war against Japan on the grounds that it is in arrears of reparations, and it will be able to draw some troops from Korea to support the Pacific theater; on the other hand, Japan will be able to get rid of its status as a defeated country and boost the morale of the military and people throughout the country, which will also be of great help to the war in the Pacific.

Of course, the Chinese government will not let Japan take such a big advantage in order to retaliate against the United States, in exchange, the Japanese government agreed to change the demarcation line between Japan and North Korea to the 38th parallel of the north latitude, anyway, for Japan, which has already occupied the islands of Southeast Asia and the entire Oceania, the economic value of that point of Korean land is already insignificant, and the main value of the Japanese occupation of Korea is to serve as a strategic buffer between China and Japan, so half of Korea is enough, and it is appropriate to give up a little land, On the contrary, it helped Japan to free up the Liliang garrison and develop the southern occupation with much greater economic value. Although the 38th line is closer to Seoul, the Japanese government has a greater sense of security than before because the Chinese side agreed to withdraw its troops from Korea.

And the Chinese government thinks about it, the depth of North Korea was too small, the significance of the strategic buffer was limited, and half of the Korean Peninsula was much better. Although the comrades in Korea are generally eager to take back all the lost territory in the south, for China, a unified Korean Peninsula is not so easy to control, and it will also provoke Japan to increase its guard against China, but it will not be able to deal with the Americans with all its might, so half of the Korean Peninsula is just right. Although the North Korean government has some regrets in its heart, it can almost double its territory at no cost, and naturally it will not and dare not have any dissatisfaction

In addition, it is worth mentioning that at the beginning, some people in the Red Party proposed that the southern part of Sakhalin Island, which is currently occupied by Japan, should also be returned, but both Taizu and Hu Weidong believed that the current Japanese government could not agree to this demand, and that once the southern part of Sakhalin Island was taken back, it would inevitably provoke the Soviet Union, and that it was not the best time to turn the other cheek with the Soviet Union, and finally the Central Committee temporarily shelved this proposal.

In any case, in today's Shijie situation, China's détente with Japan has undoubtedly made the US government quite uncomfortable. In addition, the anti-American propaganda that spread in China as a result, especially the numerous crimes committed by the United States against the Chinese, was uncovered one by one, which made Roosevelt even more uneasy. It's just that at this time, the U.S. government can't lower its posture and take the initiative to admit its mistake to China, so it can only bear the consequences head-on. And although Barton escaped punishment, under the continuous stimulation of so many things, his spirit finally broke down completely and became a real madman

In the end, in the turmoil caused by Wang Zicai and others, more than 100,000 Japanese Americans and Japanese expatriates in the United States died, most of them killed by the massacre of the American army. The revenge of those survivors who escaped from the concentration camps against the white Americans also caused great damage, and coupled with the "results" of Japanese special operators such as Wang Zicai, more than 5,000 U.S. military and police officers died, and the death toll of non-Japanese American civilians was as high as 50,000 or 60,000, and countless wounded (to be continued......
