Chapter 313 China-Japan Relations

"It is unexpected that we can win a battle, but it is inevitable that we will lose a battle!"

Wang Jingwei, who was welcomed back from the airport, looked very bad-looking, and he said in a little disappointed manner.

"The gap between China and Japan cannot be compensated in one or two days, and it cannot be compensated in one or two victories. Zheng Yong himself admitted this at the airport. Why should he continue to fight?

The so-called "Changsu Victory" has a very accidental element. The islanders are not familiar with us, and the islanders are not familiar with our combat methods.

Once the islanders take us seriously, look, see, can we still achieve such a victory? As long as the islanders make a little effort, our entire front will be completely destroyed!"

"Now we should completely stop military operations with the island countries, and 'hugge each other's heads and cry with the island people, completely repent and awaken' to achieve peace and cooperation between China and Japan!"

Wang Jingwei's capable general Zhou Fohai quickly took over the topic.

"The annual steel production of the island country is nearly 10 million tons, while China is only more than 100,000 tons. Let's talk about how to fight this battle? Saving the country peacefully, and only saving the country peacefully is the only way out for China at the moment!"

Wang Jingwei was silent for a while.

"I have written more than a dozen letters to the Chairman in a row, elaborating on the gap between China and Japan in detail, telling him that the battle cannot be fought again, and that if it continues, China will be destroyed. However, the Chairman has not changed much. This time he also came to Hankou, or this will be the best opportunity to persuade him in person..."

"This temporary congress is the key." Zhou Fohai said with emotion.

"We must strive to capture the rights within the party in our own hands, so that we can lead China on the right path."

In early 1938, the Chairman proposed that the Supreme National Defense Conference be established in the Kuomintang as the highest decision-making organ in the country, replacing the former Supreme Decision-making organ, the Central Political Council.

The Organizational Regulations of the Supreme National Defense Conference.

The chairman of the Supreme National Defense Conference is the chairman of the Military Commission, and the vice chairman is the chairman of the Central Political Council. The chairman is the chairman of the Military Commission, and Wang Jingwei is the chairman of the Central Political Council, so the chairman naturally serves as chairman, and Wang Jingwei is the vice chairman.

At the National Congress of the Kuomintang held in Wuhan this time, it was planned to continue to revise the Party Constitution and re-establish the Kuomintang's leadership system, requiring the Kuomintang to have one president and one vice president.

The position of the president will determine the ultimate winner of this political struggle.

"After this, I have to take it slowly. How are the peace negotiation conditions for the island people now?" Wang Jingwei asked slowly.

When the enemy was fighting fiercely in the Third War Zone, the German Ambassador to China, Todmann sent the conditions for peacekeeping to the island countries to the Chinese side.

First. Inner Mongolia established an autonomous government; second. North China and Africa's armed areas were expanded, sovereignty belonged to the Nanjing government, and public security was maintained by the Chinese police; third. Shanghai's non-armed areas were expanded, and public security was managed by the international police...

There are seven conditions in total.

When Zhou Fohai heard Wang Jingwei's question, he frowned.

"These seven items were nothing, but later the islanders added three more days, and they just arrived today. You should take a look first."

As he said that, he informed Wang Jingwei of the three newly proposed requests by the islanders one by one.

Special institutions were established in the non-armed areas of North China, Inner Mongolia, and Central China; Manchuria was recognized; and China compensated island countries for war expenses.

"This is probably a bit too much..." Wang Jingwei's brows were tightly locked together.

"We can try our best to strive for the first seven points, but the government is probably unwilling to agree to these three points. In fact, the islanders are also a little anxious. They have done seven points first and then made these three points. Wouldn't they be more confident?"

“Yes, especially after the government achieved the so-called 'Changsu Victory'.”

Lin Hanjie, who was standing by, didn't say anything because of his identity. At this time, he finally found an opportunity and said hurriedly.

"Now, a division of the island country has been annihilated, and the government and the people are in a high spirit. The whole country is counting on Zheng Yong to create another miracle. On this basis, I'm afraid..."

"Miracle?"

Wang Jingwei interrupted him impatiently.

"The reason why miracles are called miracles is that they have no replication. Zheng Yong won several battles, but it does not mean that his good luck will continue like this. It is ridiculous, really ridiculous."

At this moment, his secretary came in and said a few words in his ear, and Wang Jingwei's expression changed.

"Okay, let's talk about this for the time being today. Everyone is tired, so let's go back and rest first."

Zhou Fohai and Lin Hanjie seemed to have heard something from this, looked at each other, and smiled ambiguously...

"This time, I've been missing for a long time."

As soon as Zhou Fohai and Lin Hanjie left, Wang Jingwei couldn't wait to come to his study, stepped forward a few steps and held the hand of a middle-aged man, and said intimately.

"How long has it been since we parted in the island country..."

"Six years, a full six years." Hong, a native of the island country, said with infinite emotion this time: "I still think about when you went to Europe to heal your wounds. When you passed by the island country, we would talk about the future and the ideals together..."

"Yes, yes, six years have passed in a flash, and time passes so fast."

It seemed to arouse Wang Jingwei's thoughts, and he sighed.

"At that time, I was treated by many friends from the island country. Of course, you are so. I have always been very grateful and always thought of repaying you well in the future, but I never had a chance. This time, since I came to my place this time, I must stay here for a while!"

Hong smiled this time.

"Of course, I will, and I will trouble you a lot of things in the future. However, there are really some small problems this time and I need your help."

Wang Jingwei nodded.

In fact, when he was in the island country, he already knew Hongze’s identity this time. This nominal silk merchant has actually been working for the island country’s intelligence agencies.

This time I suddenly appeared here, I am afraid that it may not be because of my visit. It is bound to be related to this temporary congress of the Kuomintang in Hankou.

Sure enough, Hong didn't hide anything this time and said.

"I think you have seen the conditions for the war that the island empire proposed against China this time. This was proposed entirely for peace between the two countries, and this is also the last bottom line of our government. The empire is ready. Once the conditions cannot be accepted, then we will continue the war until China accepts all the conditions..."

He glanced at Wang Jingwei, saw his eyebrows tightly locked together, and smiled.

"I think you see the gap between China and Japan. Although we have encountered a small setback before, it has further aroused the patriotic enthusiasm of the island soldiers. They will firmly carry out the war to the end. At that time, even our government will not be able to control it. Therefore, please think more about it and your government."

"I am me, the government is the government, and there are serious differences in our position."

Wang Jingwei wished he could completely push the relationship between himself and the government.

"I have written letters to the Chairman many times to ask him to seriously consider the relationship between China and Japan, but unfortunately, my suggestion was not adopted by him. Even in many things, I have no idea what happened..."

This time Hong Ze smiled and finished listening to him.

"I can understand your difficulties and fully understand your friendship with island countries. This time your National Interim Congress may have special significance for you and your country. At least from the standpoint of island countries, we fully agree that you will lead China. Only in this way can China and Japan have the prospect of peaceful negotiations."

Wang Jingwei's eyes lit up.

Hongze's attitude this time is very clear, and the island country supports him Wang Jingwei.

Although China and Japan are fighting now, everyone will know who wins and loses. If one person can stand up at this time and prompt the island country to sit at the negotiating table, then this person's contribution will definitely not be inferior to those soldiers.

Even to some extent, it can be regarded as a "national hero".

Wang Jingwei tried his best to wake him up from his beautiful dream and said in embarrassment.

"Of course I also hope to see such a situation, but the chance of winning is not very high. You know, many people have been deceived by our chairman, and have been blinded by the so-called victory. They can't see the bad situation facing China now, so..."

"So you can work hard to fight for it, and even if it fails, we will prepare another way for you."

This time, Hongze's smile did not weaken at all. Seeing Wang Jingwei with a somewhat confused expression, he stood up and took a few steps slowly.

"For example, form another government."

Wang Jingwei's body shook significantly.

Establish another government? Lead this government by yourself? This is what Hongze means this time.

This government must be something that the islanders are willing to see, and it will inevitably be recognized by the islanders, but what will be the consequences of this for themselves and China?

"I think about it, I think about it again..."

Wang Jingwei murmured.

"Please don't worry, I think we have time." Hong Ze said confidently this time: "I think you and I can wait patiently for the final result of the conference. If you win, everything will be easy to say, but if you are unlucky... then at least there is still a bright road waiting for you."

Then his expression suddenly changed.

"Of course, no matter what the final result is, there is a person that the empire cannot tolerate. He brazenly fought against the imperial army and killed our imperial officers. As long as he is still there, there will be no possibility of peace between China and Japan."

Wang Jingwei nodded. He knew who the person Hongze was talking about this time was.

Zheng Yong!

This man hurt the island people, perhaps because he was afraid of it. He has become a thorn in the eyes of the island people and a thorn in the flesh. As long as he still exists for one day, the island people will never give up.

At this time, Wang Jingwei actually admired Zheng Yonglai a little.

No matter who it is, it is really not easy to make the islanders hate this...
