On the afternoon of September 9, the Saigon Conference was successfully held at the Dongye Vietnam Command, the former French Governor-General's Palace.
Considering that this was an international conference, the conference room adopted the form of a round table. A French sandalwood round table, with a pot of tropical flowers picked by the soldiers in the middle of the table. Special flags of China, the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union were placed around the flower pot.
There are five rattan chairs, a specialty of Vietnam, for the heads of state to sit on. All the corners of the conference room are filled with bonsais of precious tropical flowers and trees from Vietnam, which are lush and green. It feels cool and pleasant to the eyes.
There are several wicker chairs behind each head of state, where the foreign minister or special assistant and translator accompanying the meeting sit. In the back circle, there is a long table, where the main staff brought by each head of state are also seated.
As the main entourage of the chairman, Liu Yimin, Vice Chairman Zhou, Chen Yun, and Yang Dalin, who served as the translator, sat behind the chairman. Chen Yi, Li Fuchun, Luo Ronghuan and others sat behind Liu Yimin and others.
Members of the translation team led by Yang Dalin were also assigned to the heads of state and their working teams to serve them.
Ni Hua and Tang Xingying all have the task of accompanying the head of state's wife. Serving in the conference room are the beautiful Captain Claire of the US Army and several female soldiers from the Dongye Art Troupe. They all took off their military uniforms and wore white silk short-sleeved tops.
In dark green long dresses, everyone looks like an angel, beautiful and fresh.
Liu Yimin has already seen that Claire's life experience is by no means simple. She must be a lady from a famous family in the United States. She is very familiar with President Roosevelt and the president's wife. After picking up the Roosevelts at the airport, the president's wife kept holding Claire's hand.
, the netizen was fascinated by the laughter, and they got into the car prepared for President Roosevelt and went to his residence. Liu Yimin regretted it, why didn't he take some time to talk to Claire? At least he had to find out the life experience of this blonde beauty.
Origin, maybe we can mobilize a large American company to invest in North China!
Claire led several female warriors to walk through the passages like flowers and willows, giving the distinguished guests the herbal tea and coffee they needed.
Just the layout of this conference room shows how much effort the conference organizers put into it. This was the war years!
The Japanese invaders have been wiped out by the Chinese army. Little Japan is about to be defeated. The Americans only announced their participation in the war after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. In addition to their air force and navy, their military launched a counterattack and won victory. On the Asian battlefield,
The Army was beaten to a complete mess. Britain was even worse, beaten to pieces by the Japanese army. Needless to say, the Soviet Union lost the Far East and was forced to sign the "Japan-Soviet Friendship Treaty" with the Japanese army. It stands to reason that the person presiding over the meeting today should be a Chinese leader.
Yes. Unfortunately, due to special reasons between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, President Roosevelt, who has strong appeal, could only preside over the meeting.
These people are all strong men, giants, and leaders of this era. They sit around the round table, each with different auras.
Stalin was wearing a Soviet summer military uniform, holding a pipe in one hand. His eagle-like eyes scanned the faces of several people, and finally looked past the Chairman and Chiang Kai-shek. He stared at Liu Yimin who was sitting behind the Chairman.
Liu Yimin was both surprised and worried about Stalin's arrival.
Historically, during the Cairo Conference, Stalin refused to show up on the grounds that he would not attend a meeting in which Chiang Kai-shek was present.
The reason why this is the case is that after the Soviet Union won the victory in the Battle of Moscow, it gradually began to relax, and then supported the independence of Xinjiang and caused trouble. In addition, the Soviet Union signed the "Japan-Soviet Treaty of Friendship and Neutrality" with Japan behind China's back.
Recognized Manchukuo and made peace with the Japanese on the condition of the independence of Outer Mongolia. Chiang Kai-shek used the Xinjiang incident to turn against the Soviet Union.
To be fair, Chiang Kai-shek did the right thing. The Soviet Union and Stalin bullied others too much and completely ignored China's rights and interests.
Because Stalin failed to achieve anything at the Cairo Conference, after the meeting, Roosevelt and Churchill brought the original draft of the Cairo Declaration to Tehran to meet with Stalin and seek his opinions. After Churchill introduced the main spirit of the Cairo Declaration, Stalin immediately expressed his approval and believed that the Cairo Declaration was correct.
It stated that "North Korea should be independent, and islands such as Manchuria, Taiwan and Penghu should be returned to China." After the meeting, China published the contents of the Cairo Declaration in newspapers. However, since Stalin did not attend the meeting, his opinions must be sought, resulting in the original draft of the Cairo Declaration
It was not signed by the heads of state of China, the United States and Britain. This led some people with ulterior motives in later generations to deny the authenticity and legal authority of the Cairo Declaration, and also led to the Kuril Islands issue, the Ryukyu Islands issue and the Diaoyu Islands issue.
Although Chiang Kai-shek was anti-Communist with all his heart, he still had national integrity. His ability to persist in the war of resistance was commendable, and he could be regarded as the "leader of the war of resistance". However, Chiang Kai-shek was short-sighted. At the Cairo Conference, Roosevelt twice proposed to take Ryukyu
The islands were returned to China, but Chiang Kai-shek actually refused.
Liu Yimin was pleasantly surprised by Stalin's arrival, not because he could meet the supreme commander of the Soviet Union, the iron-willed Stalin. Liu Yimin's deployment of star-struck followers was not the young guy he was when he first traveled through time. Over the years, he had fought in the north and south, and he had become famous.
The illustrious general and commander-in-chief of the army has long since lost the surprise of meeting a historical celebrity for the first time. He thought that since Stalin came, the resolutions formed at the Saigon Conference could be signed by the heads of state and issued in a unified way, and they would not be seen again in the future.
No one can question this.
What Liu Yimin was worried about when Stalin arrived was that he would definitely raise the issue of Outer Northeast, Sakhalin Island, and Kuril Islands. It is very likely that he came here for this issue and was fully prepared. This has never been the case.
You can tell from the many suitcases Lotov brought with him.
Originally, these problems were not problems. Now, unlike in history, due to the Soviet Union's defeat in the Japan-Soviet Far East War, the Soviet Union has clearly announced the signing of the "Sino-Russian Treaty of Nerchinsk" in the "Japan-Soviet Treaty of Friendship and Neutrality" signed with Japan.
Since then, the land plundered by Tsarist Russia from China has been returned to the Puppet Manchukuo, and the sovereignty of Outer Mongolia has been recognized as belonging to the Puppet Manchukuo. This matter is known to the world. The United States and Britain have issued statements recognizing that the above-mentioned territories belong to Chinese territory. However, now Japan has basically been defeated, and the Soviet Union
The battlefield on the Western Front has calmed down again, and Stalin will definitely bring up this matter again. He will never be willing to give up this part of the territory in the Far East just like this.
When there are territorial disputes between countries, it is a life-and-death fight, and no one will give in an inch of territory!
When Stalin looked at Liu Yimin, Liu Yimin also looked at Stalin.
When Stalin arrived at noon, Liu Yimin also went to greet him. However, the Chairman and Vice Chairman Zhou were there, and important officials from the United States and Britain also went to greet him. It was not Liu Yimin's turn to shake hands or hug Stalin, let alone talk.
There was too much communication. Stalin's eyes did not notice Liu Yimin, who was standing silently behind the crowd.
The reason why Stalin looked at Liu Yimin was because he knew well in his mind that if the CCP did not have the legendary general Liu Yimin, it would probably be able to fight guerrillas behind enemy lines at this time. It would be impossible to eliminate the Kwantung Army and the Japanese invaders in the Kwantung. Mao Runzhi
Shi was definitely not qualified to sit in such a venue, and the CCP would not be so unruly and dare to set up sentries and build fortifications on the Sino-Soviet border.
Stalin wanted to take a closer look at who Liu Yimin was!
One has a gaze like an eagle, extremely sharp; the other has eyes as pure as black gems, calm, indifferent, fearless, and bottomless.
In this moment, the two people completed their first communication.
Stalin just stared at it for a short while, unable to see why, then he withdrew his gaze, puffed his pipe, put a smile on his face, and listened to President Roosevelt's opening remarks.
President Roosevelt's opening remarks were very concise. In fact, they were the keynote of the later "Saigon Declaration" and the basic spirit of the "Cairo Declaration" in history.
President Roosevelt said that the core issues to be studied and decided at the Saigon Conference are to stop Japanese aggression and punish Japan, force Japan to surrender unconditionally, deprive Japan of the territories it has occupied since World War I in 1914, and compensate for war losses.
.
After President Roosevelt finished speaking, Churchill spoke immediately, stating that Japan must surrender unconditionally and that Japan must forever lose the ability to invade other countries.
Stalin's speech was also in this spirit.
When Chiang Kai-shek spoke, Chiang Kai-shek pointed out that China had been subject to Japanese aggression for the longest time and suffered the most. China supported President Roosevelt's proposition that Japan must surrender unconditionally.
When it was the chairman's turn to speak, the chairman pointed out that Japan must surrender unconditionally, must compensate China, the United States, the United Kingdom, the Soviet Union, North Korea, and Southeast Asian countries for their war losses, and the emperor system must be abolished. The chairman reiterated what Liu Yimin proposed when he invaded Shanghai.
The three principles against Japan. Then, the chairman proposed that Japan’s invasion of China began as early as the Opium War. After the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894, the Japanese forced the Manchu and Qing governments to sign the Treaty of Shimonoseki, occupying the Ryukyu Islands, Taiwan, and the Penghu Islands, and leasing Kanto Prefecture.
, and took the opportunity to invade and occupy North Korea. Including the Kuril Islands, they have long belonged to China in history. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Chinese government set up political power on Sakhalin Island, stationed troops, and implemented effective management of the Kuril Islands. Therefore, President Roosevelt proposed in 1912
It is inappropriate to use the time of the outbreak of World War I as the boundary. The time of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894 should be used as the boundary. Japan must return all the territories that originally belonged to the Republic of China such as the Kuril Islands, Ryukyu Islands, and Diaoyu Islands to China. Japan’s territory should be defined as Hokkaido.
There are four islands: Kyushu, Shikoku, and Honshu.
Japan's territory itself is composed of four islands: Hokkaido, Kyushu, Shikoku, and Honshu. What the chairman said is consistent with Japanese history.
The atmosphere in the conference room became lively.
