Beiyang reactionaries

That is, Japan must never go to war with an industrial power like the United States.Because in modern warfare, what is measured is the comprehensive national strength of both sides.Among the comprehensive national strength, the most important point is industrial strength and population size.

Apparently America has both.

Looking at the results now is obvious.Although the United States suffered a huge blow during the war, it paid huge casualties.But when they started the war machine, they showed the world what it means to be a big industrial country and a powerful industrial country, which can continuously provide weapons and equipment to the front line.

Not to mention anything else, just look at the aircraft carriers built by the United States in recent years.

More than 200 aircraft carriers.

What a concept.Japan has the help of China. China has helped Japan produce so many light aircraft carriers and escort aircraft carriers. The total number of aircraft carriers in Japan cannot exceed that of the United States.Of course, with just an aircraft carrier, Japan really wouldn't be in such a mess.

What really embarrassed Japan was the military bases built by the United States in the Hawaiian Islands.

The United States spent more than 100 billion U.S. dollars on many islands in the Hawaiian Islands to build a large number of airports and military bases.Many of these bases were scrapped after a few months of use, and some were even abandoned in less than a month.But the United States dared to do this in order to fight Japan and defend the Hawaiian Islands.

So much money was thrown into the Hawaiian Islands in a few months.

The funds spent are higher than Japan's annual military expenditure.How to fight with such a big country?

Look at the logistical supply capabilities of the two countries.

The Japanese frontline troops are about to cry, and now many troops can eat two full meals a day, which is because the logistics are quite good.Most of the frontline officers and soldiers couldn't satisfy themselves with two meals a day.

But what about the British and American troops?

Smoking cigarettes and drinking Coke, the canned beef almost vomited.This is the British and American armies, and the logistical capabilities of the United States are amazing.In order to guarantee logistics, the United States has thousands of transport ships in the Pacific Ocean, and thousands of transport planes to help the US military transport supplies.

Such a United States, how can Japan fight against it.

This time, the reason for coming out of the mountain again is because the current situation in Japan is critical, and it is necessary to choose a way out as soon as possible.But Suzuki Kantaro, the new prime minister, has many things that he can't understand.

"what?"

"Your Excellency, since there is an armistice and negotiations with China, why did you choose General Ishihara Wanji as the Minister of War instead of General Anan Yuki. General Ishihara Wanji has always opposed the expansion of the war and has always called for negotiations. Xiao During Prime Minister Isokuniaki’s time, General Ishihara Wanji proposed to make peace with China and withdraw from the war with dignity. As for General Anan, he resolutely supported the “local decisive battle” and is currently the army’s most supportive of the “[-] million jade fragments” plan .Yes or no…………"

"Do you think that Ananwei and I are a little familiar, that's why you let him be the Minister of War?"

Suzuki Kantaro accepted Togo Matoku's words.

Dongxiang Maode nodded awkwardly.Dongxiang Maode really wanted to ask this question.When Suzuki Kantaro was the head of the attendant, Yui Anan was almost his subordinate and served as the attache military officer.Many people in the army laughed at Anan as an idiot with a dull mind, and he was admitted to the Army University after taking the exam four times.However, Suzuki Kantaro believed that Anan Yuji possessed many valuable qualities of a soldier, and believed that he could become a very good soldier, so he always trusted him and promoted him.

Although Suzuki Kantaro is in the navy, he has a general relationship with the army system.But relying on Suzuki Kantaro's face in front of the emperor and Suzuki Kantaro's influence in the military circle, Anan Kei still rose through the ranks of the army step by step.

Later, the relationship with Seishiro Sakagaki was not good, and the relationship with Hideki Tojo was not handled well.But it didn't affect Anan Weiji's status in the army at all, and his position has been rising.Hideki Tojo and Seishiro Sakagaki are dissatisfied with Kanji Ishihara because they have different ideas and different ideas about the future of the country.Such a person must be suppressed, and he is not given the opportunity to make meritorious service at all, it is completely idle.

But Anan is slightly different.

He didn't deal with Hideki Tojo and Seishiro Sakagaki, it was just their personal filth and it didn't involve issues of philosophy.So it was just transferred away from Tokyo and let him go to the front to fight.Unexpectedly, when Anan was fighting in Southeast Asia, he dared not say that he was good at fighting, but he was very strict in fighting, and he was definitely a qualified general.When fighting in Southeast Asia, he made many meritorious deeds.

In 1943, he was already in the position of general of the army.

This person is an important figure in the radical faction of the army.Faced with the current unfavorable situation, he shouted "[-] million pieces of jade" and "local decisive battle", which won unanimous appreciation from the radical generals of the army.When Suzuki Kantaro took over as the prime minister, the only requirement was that the Minister of War must be Yuji Anan.

This is something Dongxiang Maode doesn't understand at all.

Since Suzuki Kantaro wants to negotiate and end the war, why did he not choose Ishihara Wanji as the Minister of War, but Anan Yuki, the radical leader of the army.

"Because he is the most suitable."

Suzuki Kantaro raised his voice, and said: "Ishihara has been away from the army for too long. The current army is all radical officers, and the relationship with Ishihara is not very good. Even if Ishihara becomes the Minister of Army, he can't suppress them at all. Now this Sometimes I need stability in the army, especially the army. But Anan is different, he has always been at the top of the army and has a good relationship with these army officers, so he is suitable for suppressing these people and appeasing those army generals."

"But…………"

Dongxiang Maode slightly understood Suzuki Kantaro's thoughts.

Ishihara Wanji was indeed a military talent when Tanaka Yoshiichi was in power, and he was very optimistic about the development of the army.At that time, in a few more years, Ishihara Wanji would have no problem becoming the Chief of the Army Staff, or the Minister of the Army.But he was later rejected by Hideki Tojo, and even the radical leaders of the army were rejecting him.After these years, many of the army generals who supported Ishihara Waner were excluded from the top ranks of the army, and now the army is still ruled by radicals.Including Hideki Tojo, who has left the position of prime minister, even if he is not prime minister, he is still very prestigious and has a high status in the army.

These people have a bad relationship with Ishihara Waner, it is impossible to listen to Ishihara Waner's words.

Even if Ishihara Waner became the Minister of Army, he would not be able to restrain the army at all.Instead, the Army directly ignored the Minister of Army and played its own game.This is very dangerous stuff.

In comparison, although Anan Yuji has a bad relationship with Tojo Hideki and the others, it's just that their personal relationship is not good.Among the radicals of the army, Anan Weiji, as an army general, is already very powerful and has deep qualifications.He became the Secretary of the Army, that is, the Secretary of the Army worthy of the name, who can help stabilize the Army and prevent the Army from having too many problems.

"Are you worried about Ananwei?"

"Yes. After all, he is..."

"You don't understand this. Anan is a real soldier. Although his ideas are radical, he is a soldier who obeys the rules. He is loyal to the emperor, loyal to the empire, and will not do excessive things. No matter what he thinks Yes, he will obey the overall situation. As long as the emperor decides, he himself will accept it. Not only will he accept it, but he will also appease the army and prevent them from causing trouble. In this situation, he can get the support of the army generals and he can also appease the army Yes, only Anan Weiji. But if we are really defeated, he may..."

Suzuki Kantaro finally shook his head.

Anan is only a few, this is a dead-headed soldier, and a soldier who is not afraid of life and death.If Japan is really defeated, such a blow is unacceptable to soldiers like Anan Weiji.Suzuki Kantaro is not sure how Ananwei will choose when the time comes.

But that's all for the future.

Suzuki Kantaro now has to consider how to end the war decently.Therefore, he said: "Tell Shigemitsu Aoi that we accept China's conditions and are willing to accept the content of the 'Ili Declaration'. But China must also ensure that Britain and the United States do not log in to our country, and we should discuss it with our country when formulating war criminals. At the same time State that our country is willing to participate in the "Chinese Federation" and hopes to negotiate with Britain and the United States under the coordination of China."

"Yes."

"Japan is willing to accept the 'Ili Declaration'."

1944年8月24日，‘伊犁宣言’发表第五天，段勋顺利的从新疆伊犁回到了北京。段勋从1944年8月3日离京参加新德里会议，到现在回京足足用了20天的时间。

Great results were achieved. China, the United States and Britain determined the division of interests in the Far East after the war.On the whole, the United Kingdom and the United States recognize China's special status in Asia, and recognize China's leading position in East Asia, Southeast Asia, and South Asia.

Of course, although they admit it, it is impossible for Britain and the United States to completely abandon Asia, saying that Asia belongs to you and China.On the issue of several islands in the Pacific Ocean, the United States has stated that it has the right to supervise their independence.The same is true for Britain, which claims supervisory powers for itself on the issues of India and Malaysia.Duan Xun did not object either. After all, China has already obtained enough benefits. If Britain and the United States do not give any face, then the meeting cannot be too smooth.

In order to reach an agreement, everyone made their own concessions.

After Duan Xun and Wang Jingwei returned to Beijing, Wang Jingwei immediately began to form a negotiation team.In addition to Wang Jingwei, the team included Deputy Prime Minister Zhang Jiaao, Lu Zuofu, and senior officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Commerce, and the Bank of China.There are also a large number of Chinese think tanks, including many university professors.

Because Wang Jingwei was going to lead a huge delegation to New York to negotiate with the United States.What we are talking about is the trade issue after the war, and we must determine how to develop international trade.

After Duan Xun returned to Beijing, he was dealing with relations with Japan.

Because Japan is faster.

On the day when China, the United States and Britain issued the "Ili Declaration", Japan expressed to China that it was willing to come to China for negotiations.Although China withdrew its ambassador to Japan and declared war on Japan.But Japan did not withdraw their ambassadors in China, and of course China did not expel them.

Japan left its ambassador to China in order to leave a channel to communicate with China.

A large number of businessmen, including Japan, also stayed in China.They are all windows between China and Japan. Although the two countries are at war, they have not completely cut off contact.Beijing accepted Japan's request after calling and inquiring about Duan Xun.On behalf of the new Japanese cabinet, Mamoru Shigemitsu came to Beijing the next day to meet Chinese Foreign Minister Gu Weijun.

After Duan Xun returned to Beijing, Gu Weijun immediately reported to Duan Xun what Japan meant.

"What conditions do they have?"
