Vol 3 Chapter 213: At Sino-Japanese negotiations

Han Jing Shan Nan Yuan, the seat of Zhang Shusheng, chairman of the Supreme People's Committee of the Chinese People.
As the highest power center in the country, Han Jingshan is the seat of the highest power in New China. It is very close to People's Street where other departments of the central government work. The Baath Party and the country's top leaders who are about to set up all live in Han Jingshan.
Nanyuan is the residence of Zhang Shusheng, Xiyuan is the residence of other major party, government and army leaders, and Beiyuan is the highest level of state reception. Dongyuan is an office center. In addition to the office of the head of state known as the capital of the head of state, there are also special affairs departments, the central office, the Baath Party Central Committee, and the State Council. Other central authorities are located further afield on the edge of Hanjing Mountain, the People's Street office.
Nanyuan is Zhang Shusheng's personal residence and dual-use office center.
This is the world's safest and most advanced technology leader office and residence center. In addition to Han Jingshan's security forces and departments, Nanyuan also has Zhang Shusheng's personal guard. The equipment of these guards is more than that of many years in the era, and the combat effectiveness is extremely powerful. In today's era, these guards are invincible unless they face the threat of comprehensive war.
Although Zhang Shusheng, as the Supreme Chairman, no longer has holidays and no weekends, he still has a corresponding rest period. Today happens to be his rest day. Early in the morning, I got up with my two ladies and drank morning tea at the waterside of Nanyuan. After eating Chinese breakfast, Lu Yunyan went to work in the Central Office, while He Ning accompanied Zhang Shusheng at home.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, Nanyuan.
"Chairman, Comrade Cai Yong, Minister of National Defense, and Comrade Zhou Guolai, Deputy Foreign Minister."
After being briefed by the staff, Zhang Shusheng came to the West Garden of Nanyuan and met with two new Chinese executives. Although Zhang Shusheng is the highest leader, due to the extremely pragmatic attitude of the government, ministers and deputy ministers of key departments can apply to meet Zhang Shusheng outside office hours. Especially during special events, the procedure for such an appointment is simple. Of course, if Zhang Shusheng himself works in the chairman's office, it will be easier for these new Chinese executives to meet him.
"Mrs. Chairman"
"Mr. Cai, Vice Minister Zhou, hello, the chairman is waiting for you in there." He Ning saw Zhang Shusheng having national affairs to discuss, and he voluntarily withdrew from the West Garden. The two just greeted politely, without much restraint.
"The chairman is here to bother you during this rest period, and please forgive me." Cai Yan and Zhou Guolai entered the West Garden, and led by the staff to the small courtyard where Zhang Shusheng was located, a pavilion near the water. Zhang Shusheng was already waiting for them in a rattan chair.
"You come to see me. I'm also resting. I drink tea and talk about work. It's also a break." Zhang Shusheng motioned to the two to sit down. The tea was already set on the table, and the three laughed at the sketch.
Zhang Shusheng also knew that if it was not for the Sino-Japanese negotiations to be held soon, the two would not have come to see themselves during the break. Although the political system of New China is very clean, pragmatic, and efficient, the authority of the supreme leader still rests on everyone. He doesn't care. Human beings are a large group. Some people will always stand on top of the pyramid. As long as they can place a position of the highest leader in their hearts, this kind of personal worship is not harmful.
As for other high-ranking officials in the New China, they are also the owners of power. Zhang Shusheng also does not deny this. After all, throughout the dynasties, the ruling class will have some privileges. Of course, as the highest leader, Zhang Shusheng can rely on the supreme system and rules. And personal prestige to effectively maintain this privilege. Not only does it conform to the status of senior military and political officials of the Republic, but it will not flood to the point of seeking power for personal gain, fish people, corruption and bribery, and mistaken country and people.
For example, the welfare system for key military and political personnel is very complete. It is not long since the beginning of the year, and a senior military officer earns only a few hundred yuan a year. Today, in addition to salary, certain levels of military and political personnel can enjoy the benefits that can definitely meet the needs of his class. Others, in the final analysis, are one article. Under the circumstances of high welfare and high treatment, whoever commits a crime and who makes a mistake must accept legal sanctions.
Enjoy the status, honor and treatment of privileged persons in power. In law, they also enjoy the harsh legal constraints that specifically restrict privileges.
For example, strict supervision of officials 'property and strict supervision of officials' descendants and relatives of officials are the major tasks of the Republic's supervision department, the two most important departments of the Central Government: the Special Investigation Department of the Republic and the Ministry of Inspection. Independent supervision departments have been set up nationwide to carry out independent supervision of party, government, military and businessmen at the first level. Officials are not included in the promotion of government departments at the same level. They are financially independent, independent in responsibility, and independent in rights. The Special Investigation Department of the Republic conducts special investigations into major cases. In the follow-up Central Republic, there will still be some policies aimed at officials' integrity.
"Chairman, Japan's acceptance of defeat as a prerequisite for negotiations is actually beyond the expectations of our Ministry of Foreign Affairs." Zhou Guolai, as Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, is responsible for the affairs of the Asian Division and the Chinese Division. He will be responsible for the Sino-Japanese negotiations this time. The head of the Chinese negotiation team. "In the diplomatic plan we prepared, the chips of the United States and Germany, and the chips of small and medium-sized countries have not been used."
Zhang Shusheng smiled. For the Japanese nation, perhaps only he himself later saw it most clearly. After all, he took advantage of history.
"Japan is a very aggressive country. It is very committed to the longing of the mainland. In East Asia, China, North Korea, Japan, and Russia are bordered by each other. In the past 100 years, the Japanese finally snatched North Korea from the Qing Dynasty. It defeated the Russian navy and the army, and we, China, have fallen behind in several confrontations with the Japanese.
Such a glorious record, it seems that the Japanese should be confident, or by stepping on the three countries of China, Russia and North Korea, to reach the top of the world powers. However, this is not the case.
The Japanese seem to be loyal to their patriotism, and all the people are united. In fact, they have a kind of self-confidence in their bones. Especially in several wars with China, such examples of betting on small and big as the national games of Japan abound. This is like a gambler. Although he has less gambling money than the Russians, he dares to put them all up every time and showdown with his opponents. This is also the fundamental reason why they won the Sino-Japanese, Sino-DPRK and Sino-Russian wars. They are betting every time. Fortunately, they have won with the exception of the recent Sino-Japanese War. Every time they win a bet, they gain a lot, and each victory makes their national strength greatly improved. From a weak Asian country that was opened to the country by cannons in the West, it has gradually become a regional power. This is the result of the Japanese being good at seizing opportunities and using a spirit of adventure to dominate national strategies.
However, Japan's level of strength is ultimately inconsistent with his ambitions. As an island nation, although the navy has set up the navy, the barren homeland cannot provide them with rising capital. Compared with western countries, the backward industrial system, the finances of countries on the verge of bankruptcy, huge fiscal deficits that can make all Japanese people into the destitute class, and social contradictions are the embarrassing current situation in Japan. For example, in terms of industrial output value, according to the latest statistical results of the Statistics Bureau, Japan's industrial output value has been exceeded by Yunnan.
I would like to ask, a nation that has high debts and tightened its belts to participate in the war. In the face of China, where industry has soared, what do they use to win us? Moreover, compared to the Russians, our forces can be concentrated in the northeast without having to send troops, battleships, and battles with the Japanese from miles away like the Russians. Compared with Koreans, we have vast land, simple and unyielding people, and basically completed industries.
If the Japanese wanted to continue the war, even any counterattack would be a huge sacrifice, because they are facing a new China with integrated fists and a country that can use their power to conduct a race against them. In this regard, some old ministers, some chaebols, and some real power classes, including the Emperor of Japan, can see clearly. "
Cai Min nodded and said, "From the analysis of the military, Japan can completely refuse to admit defeat. After all, the only way we can counter Japan is aerial bombardment, and this bombing has the effect of Japan's intention to take precautions. It will also weaken a lot. It will also be resisted by the Japanese native air force and air defense forces. Moreover, Japan's remaining naval power is not small. Once the decisive battle is fought, our aircraft carrier special fleet will also lose a lot.
Therefore, Japan mainly wants to redeem nearly 400,000 elite troops from China. At the same time, they need to protect their maritime lifeline. In our secret communication with Japan, we explicitly warned that once the war continues, China will make every effort to cut Japan's maritime lifeline. "
Zhang Shusheng nodded. In fact, Japan was very clear about the reason for Japan's defeat.
First, Japan in 1933 was far from Japan in its later history, a period of comprehensive invasion of China. The hastily provoked the Sino-Japanese War, occupying the Northeast, but did not have enough time to digest, and could not provide enough blood for Japan's further aggression. Before the full-scale militarization, Japan, the navy, the army, and the air force could not confront New China even if they did their best. Although the navy has a lot of battleships and cruisers, it was restrained by the Chinese navy with advanced shipborne fighters. On the Army's side, in the face of a huge China that can easily arm millions of soldiers, the Japanese army's emergency expansion of the army again and again is not enough. On the Air Force side, there is even a considerable number of biplane fighters of the Japanese Army Air Force, which are not the opponents of the New China Air Force at all. In terms of weapons and equipment, from individual weapons to artillery, bazookas, armored vehicles, tanks, etc., Japan is also behind in all aspects. Such as semi-automatic rifles, combat sniper rifles, ripper heavy machine guns, bazookas, armored vehicles, Chinese tiger tanks, cannons using new explosives, etc., Japan lags behind across the board.
Therefore, Japan before full-scale militarization cannot fight against New China without Japan as it did after occupying the Northeast for several years.
Secondly, the issue of maritime safety, from daily necessities to Japan, which needs to import every barrel of oil and high-quality steel, cannot bear the fate of maritime transportation lines being cut off. China can easily cut off transportation lines along the Taiwan Strait. Although Japan can turn to the United States, the high cost and the ignorance of the US government suggest that if necessary, it will promise the Chinese government to adopt joint sanctions against Japan. These will be huge risks that Japan will face. After all, the Sino-US trade volume is more than dozens of times the U.S.-Japan trade volume. The United States of America, which has not been fully opened, will not abandon China, and in turn offend China in order to balance China to help Japan. Of course, if we wait a few more years and Japan can continue to attack China, we may get the support of the United States. But now, it is too early.
Third, the Sino-Japanese war that started from adventure has always worried a considerable part of Japanese politicians, and even the Emperor himself was worried that such acts of aggressively expanding the war would suffer unprecedented failure. It turns out that Japan did fail. However, at this time, although Japan failed, it did not reach the point where the country was counterattacked. Surrender at this time without losing too much.
Fourth, Japan has been hinted by New China that if they can negotiate back hundreds of thousands of Japanese elites, then after a year or two of injury, they can avoid China, a large local household, and they can choose the Russian Far East, they can choose In South Asia, they have more and better choices, without having to worry about each other's strength to fight for the country. In China, even if they occupy a small town of the Chinese, the other party will counterattack. If it is the Far East, Soviet Russia first needs to mobilize its troops from Europe to the Far East, and the long-distance Soviet Russian Red Army faces Japan, which can fight nearby and fight against each other. Are they Japanese rivals? Or, as in the Battle of the Seas of Japan and the Russo-Japanese War, it was defeated again by the Japanese. In the face of South Asia, a smaller colonial sovereign like the Netherlands, even if the world situation does not meet expectations, but as long as Japan finds an excuse, like the Americans robbed the Philippines from the Spanish, it is entirely possible. And the Japanese political class is not incapable of seeing the increasingly tense situation after the First World War. Once the situation is suitable, Japan, a country that is greedy and extinct, will never be softened, and the British and French colonies cannot escape the poison.
The risks are very small, but the prospects are very big.
Fifth, the risk of losing North Korea is completely foreseeable. Moreover, if entering the Sino-Japanese race decisive battle, an increasingly powerful China can use North Korea as a springboard to cross the narrow Sea of ​​Japan and attack Japan.
Therefore, Zhang Shusheng was sure that he sent a secret letter to Japan and was recognized by high-ranking Japanese politicians. He chose to fight with China regardless of cost and cost for face, or when the war did not reach a race decisive battle. The end of the suspension is an issue that is not difficult to choose.
You can only see the failed wars and retain your strength. In addition, you can choose a more realistic goal. From the beginning, as a politician, it is not difficult to choose.
If it was during the history of the comprehensive Sino-Japanese war, Zhang Shusheng would not hesitate to order the war to the end, even if he did not fight in Tokyo, but this is the golden age of the years between World War I and World War II. China has more things to do, far from being a decisive battle. And the Japanese didn't go to ruin, just for a face, a situation that will inevitably fail, and even North Korea will lose together.
Both sides have more choices. The war may begin again in the next stage. It is not the right time to fight.
"The army still needs to make two-handed preparations. The navy special fleet must pay attention to the Japanese attack and maintain a considerable level of deterrence at sea." Zhang Shusheng emphasized.
Cai Yan nodded and said, "The plan of the Air Force Staff is to transfer all of our only T-32 medium-range bomber corps to Shanghai. This medium-range heavy bomber, further modified by the C-32 medium-range transport aircraft, has been officially Named T-32. Thor. According to the instructions of the chairman, once the Japanese do not cooperate or repent at the negotiating table, we will adopt a further Japanese domestic bombing plan, this time targeting other coastal cities in Japan. "
The range of the C-32 moving mountain transport aircraft is 2600 kilometers, and the modified T-32 not only maintains an amazing 5 tons of ammunition, but also has a combat radius of 1200 kilometers. This is a very remarkable number. It is an excellent medium-range bomber in terms of range, flight speed, combat radius, and load. It will also serve as the main medium-range bomber for the Chinese Air Force for a long time. Of course, it is currently the only medium and long-range bomber.
During the Tianjin-Beijing battle, this type of transport aircraft was urgently modified once. During the period between the founding of the People's Republic of China and the People's Republic of China, the First Aviation Research Institute completed further transformation tasks and converted this transport aircraft into a practical medium-range bomber. After all, the original design was designed with room for modification. Just like some multi-purpose models in the West, China also considered it as a design prototype for multi-purpose aircraft.
However, before the advent of larger bombers, the T-32 Thor bomber will take on air force bombing missions for a considerable period of time.
The combat radius is 1200 kilometers, which is more than the distance from Shanghai to Japan. Although it cannot attack Tokyo, it can threaten a considerable number of southwestern Japanese coastal cities. Moreover, once China's maritime task force is in place, it can also launch air strikes on Japanese cities in the east.
"The development of large bombers still needs to be carried out. I read the report from the Ministry of Special Affairs the day before yesterday that an American bomber project named B-17 has been approved. It uses a four-engine design, some design data, and basic models. The ammunition load has reached 2.3 tons and a range of more than 2,300 kilometers. With the overall technology and manufacturing capabilities of Americans, it only takes a few years to increase this number several times. "
Zhang Shusheng knew very well how strong the Americans were in the blowout force in World War II. The abnormalities created were even a lot, not to mention their super-perverted B52 super aerial fortress bombers in the 1950s, nor did they say B— 29 This abnormally large range with a cargo weight of 9 tons is the B-17 bomber project which was set up this year. It will become a small abnormality with a payload of 8 tons and a range of 3,000 kilometers in a few years. Will pose a grave threat to the future of New China.
At that time, air transport missions in the southwest were very heavy. A medium-range heavy-duty transport aircraft was very much needed, which is why the C-32 was born. As a forward-designed quadruple engine, and then through modern reinforced structural design, some new light alloy materials are used, and the fuselage structure is strengthened, so that China can manufacture this practical medium-range transport aircraft several years in advance of the United States. Due to the excellent structural design and load-bearing design, after targeted improvements, the First Aviation Research Institute finally transformed the successful T-32 Thor mid-range bomber on the basis of the C-32. From the point of view of bomb load, range, and speed, they are all very good medium-range heavy bombers, at least in the early stage of World War II, they are completely enough to use and will not fall behind.
"From your country, you should not have any psychological burden. Negotiations are the result of the central decision. You only need to do your job well. The next few years will be the golden period for our rapid development in China. It is difficult to stir down first. The turbulent Japan is conducive to the national rejuvenation. This Sino-Japanese war must be ended, but it does not mean that the Sino-Japanese war is over. When China is stronger, Japan will be relatively weaker. "
Zhang Shusheng reminded Zhou Guolai that it was not to say that the Japanese could be beaten with a single pole. If Japan was to be killed with one punch, China would have to prepare about 500,000 to 1 million elite troops to land in Japan. Only by carrying out a local attack can the Japanese be completely cleaned up. This is absolutely not what Zhang Shusheng wants.
Moreover, Japan's nature of aggression still exists, and its strength has not been completely destroyed. Once it slows down and faces China, Japan will find that even if it just crosses the border line, it will be counterattacked by the death of the Chinese heavy army. At this time, Japan, which has a certain strength but cannot stir the waves in front of a powerful China, will completely turn its target to the red Soviet Russia.
The real powerful enemy of China will be Soviet Russia.
If at the least cost, the greatest benefits can be obtained from Soviet Russia, this is what Zhang Shusheng needs to consider. Of course, due to various considerations, he definitely does not mind using the Japanese and dragging on the considerable power of the Soviets.
Imagine that the long and extremely long Soviet Russian soil ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Once the war in the Far East begins, presenting a military situation of both East and West, the empty central part will be stopped.
As for South Asia, Zhang Shusheng also particularly likes to see the British and French arrested earlier.
World War II is bound to be a global decisive battle. Zhang Shusheng will not persuade the lunatic Hitler to change any war plan or provide him with too much scientific and technological help. These will not help the rise of New China, but will be harmful. However, he is very happy to partially reduce the pressure on Germany. In this way, it will be a very happy thing for the great western nations to shed more blood, let the new China sell more arms, and exchange more international interests.
On December 5, 1933, Japan officially announced that it would send a truce negotiation team with Yosuke Matsuoka as the plenipotentiary representative of the government to Shanghai, and hold truce negotiations with the Chinese negotiating group at the Grand Hotel on the Bund just completed. Sino-Japanese peace talks officially started

This chapter is a bit boring. It mainly focuses on some issues. Because there are so many ideas and outlines involved, Xiaoyu feels passive. Say less, don't say clearly, talk too much, follow-up plots through more dramas, sorry, but still pay more attention to this issue in the future. ()
