Chapter 1113, Taiwan Issue

Gu Weijun's words of comfort did not have any comforting effect.

The members of the Japanese peace delegation are not fools. Since China announced its participation in the World War, a series of rectifications in China are familiar with it. It is like the Peace Hotel where they are now in. When the French flag is hung high on the door of the hotel, it is now replaced by small colorful flags.

China has made a lot of contributions in this war, and of course it must be reported after the war is over. Even if it were Japan, it would act like this without hesitation.

However, in the face of such a tough peace agreement requirement by the Chinese delegation, and the cabinet meeting had already determined the issue of Taiwan's ownership before coming, the Japanese peace agreement basically had no other way except to agree to this condition.

Although these are expected, before formal negotiations began at the negotiating table, they had already chosen to compromise under the threat of the other party. It can be said that they were defeated without a fight. It is conceivable how difficult the next negotiation will be, and China will inevitably put forward more conditions beyond imagination.

At three o'clock that afternoon, Xiyuan Temple Gongwang signed the "Taiwan Return Confirmation" with Chinese Foreign Minister Wu Tingfang, and stipulated that the time should be calculated from 12 a.m. the day after tomorrow, until seven days later, all official institutions and military personnel in Taiwan evacuated. At that time, China can send officials and troops to take over Taiwan's sovereignty.

According to the Chinese delegation, before Taiwan’s sovereignty is officially accepted, it will not make any next contact with Japan. Therefore, after China and Japan signed this "confirmation letter", the first meeting was concluded, and then they focused on arranging relevant matters for the transfer of Taiwan’s sovereignty.

In the evening, China held a simple press conference at the Peace Hotel to announce the results of China's serious revocation of Taiwan's sovereignty and notify Taiwan in advance of future administrative and management issues.

Once the news came out, even at night, China was excited by it.

Even though it will take several days to wait for the transfer of Taiwan's sovereignty, after the people heard that the Chinese peace talks were determined to "not take back Taiwan and not discuss peace talks", everyone thought that this matter was a final conclusion, and Japanese people would not have any small moves.

For any Chinese, it is not only a great turnaround for the poor and weak nations, but also a sure thing for China to replace Japan as a new Asian power. All this is well-deserved to be counted on the great head of state Wu Shaoting. He first used both diplomatic and military means to regain the sovereignty of Qingdao, and then eliminated Japan's privilege in Manchuria through war, and then Hong Kong, **, Mongolia, and today it was Taiwan's turn, and China's territory is complete.

Taiwan’s retraction not only means that China’s territory is restored, but more importantly, it is to make China ready to compete for hegemony with the world’s powers. Only a complete sovereign state is qualified to challenge the world’s powers. With a series of anti-colonial aggression measures implemented by China in South Asia and North Korea, China has become an emerging power that expands its circle of power overseas.

In the next few days, the Nanjing Presidential Palace was not idle. In the eyes of the senior officials and nobles in the Presidential Palace, Taiwan's affairs must be almost certain. The British will never return, and Japan has long been at a loss. If the second peace talks are not cherished, Japan will simply overestimate itself.

Therefore, Taiwan’s administrative planning and local government construction issues are naturally included in the primary agenda.

After several meetings and many contacts with the head of state of Kunming, a draft on the establishment of Taiwan Province finally surfaced. The National Policy Research Office and other relevant departments of the Presidential Office worked overnight to carefully identify the loopholes in the draft, and even did not let go of any typos.

The officials who handled this matter knew that this would be a great opportunity to be recorded in history. Even if they could not enter the national history, they could at least leave a pen in the local history of Taiwan.

Soon, a final draft was sent to the Kunming Head of State. Only after the signing and confirmation of the head of state Wu Shaoting, the draft could change the word "cao" to "ding".

Wu Shaoting is also concerned about the Taiwan issue. It has been the important gateway of the southeast coast and has been in the hands of Japan for decades. It must be said that it is China's first-class major concern. Now that Taiwan has settled, it not only solves this major concern, but also makes the country's territory intact. The southeast coast has a strategic location where it can attack and retreat and defend.

When he saw the first candidate for the list of governors of Taiwan Province, Wu Shaoting frowned slightly. It was obvious that the Nanjing Presidential Office was very careful about this matter, fearing that there would be any suspicion of deviance, so he did not give a certain candidate, but asked the head of state to assign one from the optional personnel.

"Zhang Renjun, Li Houji, Zhu Zhixin?" He slowly pronounced these three names.

After a while of silence, he vaguely guessed that the person who planned this candidate list should be Feng Guozhang.

Even though Feng Guozhang was about to die, the other party, like Duan Qirui, was devoted to the Beiyang bloodline. However, the two people had completely different personalities, so they chose different paths and methods.

In any case, Feng Guozhang certainly hopes that the Beiyang forces can grow stronger, and even if they cannot grow stronger, they must be able to continue. Therefore, in recent years, Feng Guozhang has been using the identity of Vice President and the leader of the Beiyang Democratic Party to arrange appropriate positions for the Beiyang descendants as much as possible to ensure that the Beiyang forces will not dissipate.

But Feng Guozhang was a knowledgeable person after all. He knew that the Central Committee was not the leader of the Beiyang family, so he naturally had to consider the views of the real family. As the saying goes, those who have made great contributions throughout the ages have not been able to die well. It was precisely because of the failure to deal with similar problems in time that the world has changed hands to this day.

It is not difficult to see from the names of these three candidates that Zhang Renjun is an old bureaucrat of the Qing Dynasty and has almost nothing to do with Beiyang. He is just suitable for handling the Taiwan issue in terms of seniority and political ability; Li Houji is an old general of Beiyang and has been working in Fujian back then and has more or less knowledge of the Taiwan Strait. He is the governor of Taiwan, and can strengthen his ties with Fujian. As for Zhu Zhixin, it is obviously just to take Wu Shaoting's view. If the Chief of the First Nations has to arrange his own direct descendants to take over Taiwan, of course, it cannot go against this meaning, and it cannot make people think that Feng Guozhang does not take the Chief of the First Nations seriously.

Furthermore, the Ministry of Education originally had an education tycoon Cai Yuanpei. After Zhu Zhixin transferred to Taiwan in the south, this education tycoon could naturally be promoted to the top.
