Three hundred and twentieth chapters aftermath of the quarrel

Compared with the U.S. troops stationed in Japan who treated it as a resort and indulged in drinking and sex all day long after entering Japan, the anti-alliance operations that have been at the first level of combat readiness since entering Japan are much faster. The U.S. troops here Mobilized troops and just surrounded the armored brigade station, the anti-resistance alliance there immediately made dumplings of the American troops in front of them.

Under this situation, the U.S. military mobilized two Marine Corps divisions from Okinawa and quickly entered Japan, stopped the process of rehabilitating U.S. troops in Japan and returned home, and re-armed those veterans who had recovered but had not yet returned home. At the same time, an airborne division stationed in Okinawa has also made first-level combat preparations. The entire U.S. Army and Navy aviation forces stationed in Japan have also entered first-level combat preparations. The U.S. Navy fleet in Tokyo Bay has taken off the protection on the muzzles.

The Americans mobilized troops and generals, and Yang Zhen was not to be outdone. The Anti-Japanese Alliance also mobilized a large number of combat aircraft to station at the airports in Busan, Yeosu Peninsula and Jeju Island in southern Korea. Three infantry divisions and one infantry division stationed in North Korea and Northeast China were stationed at the airport. The armored division plus an armored brigade moved southward, starting between Gwangju and the Gaoxing Peninsula. The 2nd Airborne Division stationed in Peiping also entered Seoul via railway.

One hundred and forty transport planes were mobilized at the Seoul Airport, and ships of all sizes in the entire Korean Peninsula, as long as they were powered, whether they were motors, sailing ships or passenger and cargo ro-ro ships, were all transferred to Boseong Bay to be on standby. In a short period of time, clouds of civil war were gathering in southern Korea and mainland Japan, and the two sides were in a fierce fighting posture.

Watching the Anti-Japanese Alliance and the U.S. Army getting into a fight on their own land, Japan once fought with Tsarist Russia in Northeast China. The tragedy that happened to the Chinese today will be repeated in Japan. Although people feel quite unhappy in their hearts, they also hope that the two sides can really fight and create a chance for Japan to make a comeback.

What's just not as good as the Japanese want is that although the two sides are seemingly at war with each other and the war is almost imminent, the Americans, who have just finished a world war, do not want to be involved in a new war in a short period of time. Under the domestic situation, the Anti-Japanese Alliance was unable to deal with a new world war, let alone deal with an opponent like the United States. The two sides were fully prepared, but most of the time they were still fighting words, and in the end the hot war was not able to be fought. stand up.

After learning that the Anti-Japanese Alliance troops were stationed in Japan and the U.S. military artillery stationed in Japan, he immediately put down the Kuomintang-Communist negotiations and rushed to North Korea from China immediately upon the chairman's entrustment, as well as the former U.S. Under the coordination of the Secretary of War, after a month of bickering, the two sides finally shook hands and made peace in this smokeless war.

Yang Zhen finally gave up his demand for the subsequent demolition of the steelmaking part of the Yawata Steel Plant that had not yet been dismantled, as well as the subsequent demolition of other factories that had not yet been demolished. In exchange, the United States would not pursue the case, resisted the League's demolition of other Japanese industries, and punished the demolition of other Japanese industries. All supplies, machinery and equipment seized by the navy were released.

At the same time, under Yang Zhen's request, in post-war bilateral trade, no matter what the future political situation of China is, the economic exchanges and economic and trade exchanges between the two sides must not be subject to any restrictions. The CCP shall provide The United States grants most-favored-nation trade status to China, while the United States grants China most-favored-nation trade status. This trade agreement does not involve changes in China's political situation.

Regarding the equipment and equipment provided by the Lend-Lease Act provided by the United States to the Anti-Alliance during the war, as well as the repayment method for a large amount of military raw materials, the two sides chose a separate location for negotiations. However, regarding the issue of the remaining Japanese Navy ships, the Americans refused to give in. The Americans insisted. Required that the Anti-Japanese Alliance must return all Japanese submarines and warships above destroyers that they took away.

These ships were handed over to the Allied Supreme Command, and the destroyer level was uniformly assigned by lottery. Ships above destroyers, including submarines, were all broken into scrap metal for Japan's post-war reconstruction, and all Japanese naval engineering technology was taken away. The personnel, all warship design drawings, and inventory equipment were returned and destroyed by the United Nations and Allied Forces Headquarters.

However, Yang Zhen resolutely refused to agree to the U.S. military's request. He insisted that in order to avoid the danger of Japanese rearmament, these ships must be handed over to the Anti-Japanese Alliance. As for the drawings and equipment, nothing was left after the U.S. bombing. The Anti-League did not obtain these drawings and equipment.

As the vanguard of the invasion of China, the Japanese Navy should bear the primary responsibility for the suffering that China has suffered since the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894. These naval engineers and technicians should use their knowledge to contribute to China's reconstruction in order to atone for the Japanese Navy's history of invading China over the years. .

This war of words about the issue of the remaining ships of the Japanese Navy, together with the Americans' demand for settlement and repayment of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, the issue of aid equipment and supplies during the war, and the funds needed for the equipment, started a month after Japan's surrender, and the civil war began. break out.

From the outbreak of a full-scale civil war to the establishment of the People's Republic of China after the end of the civil war, there was no clue. In the end, there were two big fights during the Chinese Civil War, and both sides suffered heavy losses. The final solution to the problem was to use the remaining ships of the Japanese Navy. The problem was settled, and the US military did not get back even a single torpedo boat or torpedo.

Only half of the Japanese naval engineering and technical personnel were released after serving the Chinese for a full ten years. The best of the remaining Japanese naval engineering and technical personnel were completely retained in the name of naturalized Chinese nationals. In China.

As for the settlement of the aid amount, the dispute lasted from Japan's surrender in 1945 until the 1970s, and no results were produced. Negotiations on this matter have been held in Japan every year since 1945, and are in the hands of the Americans. The account books were taken out every year and returned intact.

Even after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Central Committee held several meetings to ease tensions with the United States and prepare to repay part of the debt, but Yang, who was already Secretary of the Secretariat of the Central Committee, a member of the Central Military Commission, Vice Minister of Defense, and Director of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, Shocked, I also insisted not to pay back a penny.

What Yang Zhen means is that according to the American way of settling accounts, China cannot fully accept it. Yang Zhen insists that at least half of the more than three billion U.S. dollars should go to the National Government of that year. They were the Chinese government of that year, and the Americans provided assistance. These supplies are for all Chinese people, not just for the Anti-Japanese Alliance.

Because the Anti-Japanese Alliance used this batch of equipment to fight the entire Japanese army that invaded China, or even the entire Japanese army, rather than just fighting the Kwantung Army. And the representative of China at that time was the National Government, which is you Americans, and even people all over the world. As the commander-in-chief of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, he could not accept this fact.

If you want to pay it back, first let the National Government of that year repay it. It is true that the National Government of that year has gone into exile overseas, but aren't all their senior figures from that year still there? You Americans can deduct them and deposit them in your American bank and in your personal account. funds?

As for the remaining half, at least two-thirds should be included in the accounts of the Soviets. After all, in the Americans' accounts, the aid to the Anti-Japanese Alliance was included in the share of aid to the Soviet Union. In this case, then you If you want to pay, you should go to the Soviets. According to Yang Zhen's calculations, the Anti-Japanese Alliance and later the government of the People's Republic of China only owed the Americans a total of fifteen million US dollars.

Yang Zhen's calculation method almost made Americans angry. Are you the one who settles accounts like this? In order to take care of you and consider the entire war situation, the United States specially included your quota in the Soviet account, and provided aid to The quantity of your supplies and equipment far exceeds that of the National Government.

Some of the weapons given to you, such as M-4 medium tanks, B-17 bombers, etc., were not even obtained by the Nationalist Government. Now it’s better if you ask us to settle accounts with the Soviet Union and the Nationalist Government. Let’s not say whether the Soviets will do it. Accepting this account, even if the Nationalist government has collapsed now, I will go to find someone wherever I can.

It is true that the representative of China was the National Government back then, but now China’s government is called the Government of the People’s Republic of China. According to legal procedures, since you, the Government of the People’s Republic of China, have inherited the seat of the National Government in the United Nations and the rights to the entire China , then the current Chinese government should naturally repay this debt. If you do this, it is obvious that you are refusing to pay back the debt.

Not to mention that Yang Zhen had not thought about repaying the main funds, but the remaining amount. When the Americans pressed him, Yang Zhen had the same attitude. Countries such as the United Kingdom, the Soviet Union, and France, which received far more aid than the Anti-Japanese Alliance, still The Chinese will pay it back immediately, and there is no room for further negotiation between China and the United States regarding other debts.

If other countries repay the US$15 million, the current Chinese government guarantees repayment. But if other large debtors fail to repay, then Americans should not receive less aid and become poorer and backward. Since the national strength of Britain and the Soviet Union far exceeded that of China, they should set an example.

But regarding this matter, the attitude of the Soviets is that the materials that the Americans aided the Anti-Japanese War should be attributed to me. It was you who took the initiative in the first place, not us who requested that this share be allocated to us. I didn't get a penny for those materials and equipment. As for the amount of aid they owe the United States, the Soviets' attitude is that I will pay back the British and French, and I am determined not to default on the debt.

The attitude of the British is, I really want to repay, and I don’t want to default on the debt, but now that my colonies have become independent, and without the colonies, I really don’t have the money to repay. I can repay, just wait, I I promise to pay you back when you have money. Besides, we are close buddies now. You see, I am so poor that I have to beg for food. You have the nerve to ask me to pay you back.

The British refused to pay back, and the French would hide when they could. Seeing the attitude of the British and French, the Soviets also resolutely refused to pay back. These large debtors refused to pay back, and Yang Zhen naturally refused to pay back, no matter what. How do Americans collect debts? Yang Zhen’s point is that China is the poorest among these countries, and others are refusing to pay their debts, so you have the nerve to force the Chinese to tighten their belts and pay back their debts.

As a result, the British spent decades under the constant reminders from the Americans. By the end of the 1980s, they had repaid a total of 300 million U.S. dollars. By the end of the 1970s, the Soviets had finally repaid more than 1,000 U.S. dollars. Ten thousand, and despite Yang Zhen's insistence, the Chinese did not pay back a penny.

Anyway, the little transaction deposit he had deposited in the Bank of America had been turned into equipment and technology long before the end of the war. He returned to Northeast China. The newly established New China was very poor and naturally had no deposits. Within the Bank of the United States, Americans want to seize some assets to recover their capital, but there is no place to seize them.

As for the most-favored-nation status in trade between the two sides, the agreement that Yang Zhen insisted on signing now makes the Americans, who did not take it seriously at the beginning, regret that they almost dug out the then-approved Secretary of State from the cemetery and whipped the corpses of 10,000 Damn, this is called an economic agreement, it's just a huge scam.
