Chapter 1136 Negotiations Begin
China will land on the Japanese mainland, and blood debt repayment will be written into the national strategy.
The Japanese know very well that once the newly strengthened Chinese army lands, the entire country and the entire nation will be plunged into an irreversible situation.
Massacre-style revenge is not terrible. The most terrible thing is that China has many ways to obliterate Japan's national identity, national culture and national history.
Without these things, the so-called Yamato nation will cease to exist.
From being barbaric islanders to becoming a world power, the Japanese believe that they have gone through ups and downs and hardships.
The people's dream of becoming a great nation had just been cultivated, and they were naturally horrified to see that it was about to disappear again.
In addition, Japan has received news that the Chinese have enough evidence to prove that the emperor is the culprit in launching the war. After a series of massacres, there are shadows of the royal family.
China has a special court prepared to try His Majesty the Emperor.
From ancient times to the present, the power of the emperor has changed several times, and finally it became the symbol of the country and the belief of the nation.
In the hearts of the Japanese people, the status of the emperor is supreme.
If the emperor falls, then their nation will also disappear from history.
There is also a very terrifying aspect, that is, after China occupied the mainland of the empire, it arrested and killed the initiators of the war and all people with a spirit of national independence.
Break the national backbone of the Japanese people and crush their bones into ashes.
The remaining Japanese are docile and have no spirit of resistance, and China can transform them at will.
The Yamato nation and all traces of its past existence will disappear without a trace.
Each of the above aspects alarmed Emperor Hirohito of Japan.
The die-hards persisted in resisting to the end, thinking that they would not care about the flood after they died.
Emperor Hirohito could not let go of his ancestors. He did not want the emperor's line to be cut off at his hands and the country to perish as a result.
The purpose of appointing Suzuki Kantaro, a peace-seeking faction, as the prime minister of the cabinet was to help the emperor do things that were inconvenient for him to do.
Such as making peace with the Allies in private.
After Kantaro Suzuki had a secret meeting with the American Congressman White, he felt the American's intention, so he reported to the emperor with a slightly excited expression.
"My dear, have the Americans left? No one noticed, right?"
Emperor Hirohito's first concern was the issue of confidentiality. He was afraid that his pigtails would be caught by the Chinese again.
Kantaro Suzuki replied:
"Your Majesty, the Americans are very interested. They just said that they will think about it for a while and cannot give us a reply for the time being!"
After listening to the detailed report, Emperor Hirohito nodded with great relief.
Of course he knew that the Americans would not give them an answer right away.
Now the pressure has shifted to the United States.
The Chinese have used their military power to control most strategic locations in Southeast Asia and East Asia, which has seriously threatened the interests of imperialist countries in this region.
The conflict between the Allies and China gradually came to the fore.
But these contradictions are not enough to shake their relationship as world anti-fascist allies.
The battle on the Japanese side was not completely over, and the desperate Japanese soldiers resisted fiercely, inflicting heavy losses on the Allied forces.
There is also a powerful German Third Reich in Europe.
The world still needs China, and it is impossible for the United States to push such a powerful country to the enemy's side.
The policy toward Japan has made it very clear that no country is allowed to make peace with Japan alone.
If the United States wants to break the **, it must be prepared to bear the price of breaking.
Emperor Hirohito believes that the US President is also undecided at the moment and is discussing with White House strategic analysts.
This process will probably take several months.
Although he was worried, he could only wait patiently.
The most important thing at the moment is to continue to intensify the battle in the direction of Okinawa so that the Allies cannot easily take over the Okinawa Islands in a short period of time.
In this way, the White House will truly realize that the Japanese Empire still has a high will to fight.
Give up landing on the mainland of the empire and enter the negotiation stage in advance.
All the pressure has been transferred to the side of the United States. If everything goes well, the United States will help the Yamato nation block the Chinese army who wants to pay for their debts with blood.
…………
August 8.
The Allied negotiating delegation that General Stilwell said officially entered Peiping!
The task of the negotiating delegation is to discuss the post-war situation in the Western Pacific with China.
The members of the delegation mainly come from three parties, namely the United States, the British Empire and the Netherlands.
Especially the Dutch and British Empires, whose large colonies in Southeast Asia fell into the hands of the Chinese.
They do not have sufficient ability to use military means to recapture the colonies, so they can only put their hope on the negotiation table and use words and morality to achieve success.
On the morning of August 8, the two sides formally held the first round of negotiations.
Jiang Dong was not present in person, and the person in charge of the Chinese side was Lu Zhuoran.
After the meeting began, Congressman Brown from the United States took the lead in reviewing with a smile the close collaboration between the Allied forces and China over the past two years, which resulted in great victories one after another on the Eastern battlefield.
The arrogant Japanese were driven back to their small island and a large area of land was liberated.
Councilor Brown said:
"The progress in the Eastern battlefield is obviously much faster than that in the European battlefield, and the losses of the Allied forces are relatively small."
"The reason for this situation is that our countries work together and are united!"
"In the first few years of Japan's invasion of China, Commander-in-Chief Jiang had not yet led the Chinese military and civilians to fight against the Japanese, and China's situation was precarious."
"But the United States and other allies did not sit idly by and provided a large number of interest-free loans and military assistance."
"Help China go through the most difficult stage and give you the opportunity to regroup and grow stronger again!"
"After China's rejuvenation, it provided significant help to various anti-fascist battlefields."
"This is an example of Allied forces working together!"
After Congressman Brown finished speaking, there was fierce applause in the conference room.
Most of the people applauding were the British Empire and the Dutch, with sincere smirks on their faces!
China just slapped its hands lightly and made almost no sound.
After a lot of nonsense, the meeting gradually got into the topic.
Vice Admiral Campbell, representative of the Netherlands and deputy commander of the Far East Fleet, narrowed his eyes slightly and asked:
"The next most important task for the Allied forces is to land on the Japanese mainland and completely eliminate the Eastern fascists."
"The situation in Southeast Asia is stable and there is no need for a large number of troops to be stationed. I wonder when China will withdraw its troops from these places. Are our administrators already preparing for post-war reconstruction?"
Count Martinez, the British Far East Affairs Officer, then asked:
"We recognize that China enjoys sovereignty over the Indochina Peninsula, but you have extended your hands to Kalimantan and Indonesia. Isn't this too much? Has it seriously violated the interests of our allies?"
As if questioning, Congressman Brown also continued:
"At the first anti-fascist Allied Conference, the West had made great concessions and gave up all land and privileges acquired through unequal treaties."
"We respect China's rights as a sovereign country, but it seems unnecessary to take the opportunity to expand its military power during this world war."
The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became tense and solemn.
All the white people looked at the Chinese representatives opposite.
Lu Zhuoran's expression was as calm as ever. With the help of the people next to him, he spread a huge map of the Western Pacific on the negotiation table.
Lu Zhuoran glanced at everyone present calmly and spoke slowly:
"Whether it is Sakhalin Island in the north or Indochina Peninsula in the south, as well as the Ryukyu Islands, Andaman Islands, etc., they belong to the Central Plains historically and culturally and are part of the Central Plains."
"China enjoys unquestionable sovereignty over these places!"
The representatives of the three countries agreed with Lu Zhuoran's words and nodded slightly.
Lu Zhuoran changed the topic and pointed at Andaman Island and other places and said:
"China has had a humiliating history of blood and tears, so we know what it feels like to be enslaved and oppressed."
"As for the Andaman Island and the Indonesian region, China, as a regional power, respects the spirit of the people in these regions to strive for independence and freedom for themselves."
"We support all people and nations to stand up bravely and fight against injustice."
Chapter completed!
