"Oh? Can't Japan hold on? If they want to talk, then talk to them!" Wang Yuze said with a smile... When the Japanese army was defeated at Shanhaiguan, he knew that this day would come.
He was greatly surprised after so many geniuses to surrender. During this period, the Western Sichuan Army had completely unified the country and dispatched new troops to the Liaodong Peninsula and the Korean Peninsula. The First Cavalry Army and the Second Cavalry Army
, he was preparing to march towards Mongolia and the Northeast, and included these two places under the rule of the western Sichuan government.
"Yes, Kawaguchi Yuichi has officially expressed their willingness to negotiate. However, what is the bottom line in the negotiations? We still need the instructions of the general!" Wu Tingfang said. This time, Sichuan defeated Japan, with Sichuan West,
The historical code of conduct will definitely cut off a piece of meat from Japan. As for the price, Wang Yuze will have to come up with a specific charter.
"I have also considered it in the past few days and wrote down all my thoughts. This time, this negotiation with Japan, let's follow the ones on it!" Wang Yuze took out a piece of paper from the drawer of the desk and handed it to Wu Tingfang.
.
Wu Tingfang took it and was shocked when he saw it. Although it was just a thin piece of paper, the things recorded on it made him feel incredible. First, the first is that Japan wants to admit defeat. The second is war
The compensation was made, and Japan asked Japan to compensate China for 500 million pounds. Third, Japan ceded Kyushu Island and its affiliated islands to China. Fourth, Japan must release the Ryukyu King Shangtai. Ryukyu has always been a vassal state of China, so how can Japan be occupied? Fifth,
The Japanese army withdrew from the Liaodong Peninsula and the Korean Peninsula.
"Master, can the Japanese agree?" Wu Tingfang said sweating profusely. In his opinion, the requests made by Wang Yuze are completely fantasy! In order to launch a confrontation with the Qing Dynasty, the Japanese
The war has almost exhausted its national strength. Seeing that it was about to win huge profits after defeating the Qing Dynasty, it was beaten by western Sichuan. Not only were the army and navy destroyed by western Sichuan, but Wang Yuze obviously
I just want to peel off a layer of skin from Japan!
"What are the conditions? Lao Wu, let us see!" Chief of Staff Xiong Wu, Deputy Chief of Staff Cai Yun, and Minister of the Navy Zhang Cheng also said curiously. They were also very surprised. What did Wang Yuze mention?
The same conditions made Wu Tingfang lose his composure.
"Here, let's show it to you!" Wu Tingfang smiled speechlessly and handed the paper in his hand to Xiong Wu. Cai Yun and Zhang Cheng also hurriedly surrounded him. This time, the army and the navy cooperated together and defeated him.
The Japanese army, it’s time for them to reap the results.
"Hiss!" After seeing the conditions on the paper clearly, Xiong Wu and the other two also took a breath.
"The compensation of 500 million yuan is still pounds! It's not worth so much money to sell all the Japanese, right?" Cai Yun exclaimed.
"Ceizuma Island and its affiliated islands, Jiuzhou is the third largest island in Japan and the second most important island in Japan. Can they agree?" Zhang Cheng, the Minister of the Navy, also said in surprise. However, he was then 500 million pounds later.
The compensation was attracted. If so many compensations could be brought from Japan, how many warships could the navy build!
"Negotiation is like buying things. When we ask for prices, the Japanese will definitely pay back the money. The Japanese will definitely not pay so much!" Wang Yuze said with a smile.
Wu Tingfang then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Master, what is our bottom line?"
"The first, the fourth and fifth articles are what Japan must agree to, and there is no condition to discuss. The compensation for the third article depends on how the Japanese deal with it! However, the bottom line is that at least 100 million can be obtained
The more pound, the better. If you can get 500 million pounds, it will be the best. The third thing is that the Japanese will definitely not agree to the cedes of Kyushu Island. In this way, Kyushu Island can be ignored, but the Tugala Island must be
Ceding can be incorporated into Ryukyu. In addition, Japan must cede islands such as Ogasawara Island and Hachijo Island!" Wang Yuze said. Although these islands are not big and have no resources, their strategic significance is very important and can become China
The important support point for the navy to enter the Pacific Ocean. In addition, three years later, the United States will launch an attack on Spain, a former colonial country. China will also take advantage of the chaos. If it can control the Philippines, Guam, and Mariana Islands.
If you take it down, China will have a foothold in the Pacific. It is very important for China to expand its strategic depth.
Wu Tingfang nodded. Although he didn't know the importance of these islands yet, since Wang Yuze proposed it, he had to fight for it all during the negotiations. In his opinion, this should not be much problem.
Are there just a few islands where birds don’t shit? What the Japanese really should have a headache is the huge compensation raised by western Sichuan.
"The great man, even 100 million pounds, the Japanese cannot afford it! Now Japan's annual fiscal revenue is only more than 100 million yen, which is equivalent to less than 6 million pounds. A war reparation of 100 million pounds is enough to make
The Japanese have not eaten or drunk for more than ten years!" Wu Tingfang said with some concern.
"Minister Wu, you can rest assured about this. The Japanese are richer than you think, especially the Japanese royal family. After thousands of years of accumulation, they have huge wealth. Japan produces gold, and both the people and the royal family have a large amount of money.
We can ask them to pay for gold. The current price is about 150,000 pounds per ton of gold, so we can ask them to compensate for some of the gold. In addition, aren’t Britain, France, the United States and Russia going to support Japan?
Just let them lend to Japan." Wang Yuze said. Japan's Kashin and Kanto region produce a lot of gold, while the western region produces silver. However, the gold-silver ratio in Japan has always been relatively high, even though it has been mined almost now,
Japan must have a lot of reserves. Now China is still implementing the silver standard, and the UK has begun to implement the gold standard. China must reserve more gold. After the founding of the country, it will implement the gold standard, which will benefit the domestic economy.
The development of the company is also conducive to international competition.
"Master, if Japan really compensates so much money? Then can the navy's new round of shipbuilding plan start?" Zhang Cheng asked with anticipation. Although the current western Sichuan Navy is the best in Asia,
But if compared with the Western powers, it is far inferior to that. After defeating Japan, China will face greater pressure. To this end, it is very necessary to accelerate the expansion of the navy's strength.
"When the design institute takes out the drawings of the new generation of warships, we can first produce some destroyers after the second batch of heavy cruisers and the fourth batch of light cruisers are produced. As our sea area expands,
It also requires a large number of small ships!" Wang Yuze said.
"Yes, Grand Marshal!" Zhang Cheng nodded. He knew that Wang Yuze would definitely not treat the Navy unfairly. Although the Navy has only been in the army for two years, Wang Yuze's support for the Navy is already evident. However, the Navy has not
Failed Wang Yuze's expectations and easily defeated the Japanese Navy.
"By the way, Minister Wu, please ask Japanese Prime Minister Hirobuki Ito to come to China for negotiations in person! The location of the negotiations should be chosen in the capital! You go to the capital to be responsible for the specific arrangements of this negotiation. The Prime Minister is fully responsible for the negotiations. Deputy Minister Cai is the military.
The representatives also participated." Wang Yuze said.
"Okay!" Wu Tingfang nodded. When the Qing Dynasty negotiated with Japan last year, wasn't it also Li Hongzhang went to Japan in person? Now that western Sichuan has won, it is natural that the Japanese Prime Minister came over obediently. At the same time, he also thought about it.
Now that western Sichuan has unified the country, the next step is to establish the country. Judging from Wang Yuze's appearance, he will undoubtedly choose to set the capital as the capital. Although the development of the capital is far from keeping up with Chengdu, Chengdu is located in the southwest, which is not conducive to the
The leaders of the country, and the capital is an ancient capital, have already had an indelible mark in the cognition of the people. He didn't know that there was actually another reason. In Wang Yuze's memory of more than 20 years in his previous life, the capital was
It's always been there! He really can't adapt to it after changing it to another place.
Next, Wu Tingfang formally gave a note to the Japanese consul in Chengdu, put forward the request for negotiations in the capital, and asked the Japanese Prime Minister to go to the capital to participate in the negotiations.
Although Japan was a little dissatisfied with this, there was no way. Didn’t they treat the Qing Dynasty this way last year? Now that they are defeated, western Sichuan naturally returns it to them without hesitation. Moreover, western Sichuan is also
The Prime Minister came forward, but what made Kawaguchi Yuichi feel a little worried. No matter how he tested it, Wu Tingfang did not reveal any information about the requirements of western Sichuan, which made him very nervous.
Taking advantage of western Sichuan's actions towards the Qing Dynasty over the years, he knew very well that western Sichuan was not a good man and a woman, and this time Japan might have to pay a heavy price.
The date of negotiation was set on June 11. After the date of negotiation was determined, the Japanese Prime Minister led a delegation of Foreign Ministers and other personnel to China by boat. In the west of Sichuan, Prime Minister Liang Xingrong also led a delegation to the capital.
Many departments of the western Sichuan government have also begun to move to the capital one after another. Although it has not yet been clearly stated that it will use the capital as the capital, everyone can see from the recent series of actions in western Sichuan.
Before Liang Xingrong left, Wang Yuze specially talked to Liang Xingrong for more than an hour. The content of the conversation was mainly about the matters of this negotiation. He asked Liang Xingrong to remain tough and to gain enough benefits for western Sichuan. Western Sichuan is strong.
